I hate it. Thats why I went with the 8+
I own an iPhone X and the notch is a terrible design choice IMO. I love the rest of the iPhone enough to keep it but when viewing video content I adjust settings to resize video to exclude the notch and create a smaller viewing area. It's usually not much smaller at all but still.
Near the end of this article, the author says he doesn't care about the fact that part of the screen is missing when he is watching a video. I wish he said that at the very beginning of the article so I would know that this is an article that is not worth reading.
I've had my X for a few weeks now and still can't get over the notch. It's annoying as hell. I'd rather they reserved that space solely for the status indicators and keep the GUI beneath.
The fact that I can't see my battery percentage, sync status, if my alarm is set, or whether or not Do Not Disturb is turned on without swiping down from the right horn is absolutely ridiculous.
"The Notch" was a distraction to me when I did a comparison with my old iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus and X.
It was distraction for me when I was viewing videos in landscape mode since my eyes usually "taking in the entire video" from side to side. But also I like the status indicators and the inclusion of "The Notch" blocks most of it so like blacksurfer, I decided to get the iPhone 8 Plus.
"The Notch" was one strike...
No Touch ID was strike two..and strike three..
Swiping down from the top right for the Control Panel..
Disclaimer I never owned a apple product.
Haven't bought or used a Samsung phone in at least 5 years. Got 1 or 2 hidden away somewhere, lost don't know where. Just like LG better than any brand.
But I LOVE the Samsung ads dissing iphones. Freakin hilarious ads. The guy with the notched haircut LOL!
I don't own an X, in fact still use a GS7, but I don't understand the notch hate. If they had gone conventional, the 'ears' would be bezel and the entire screen would be smaller. Then again, the smallest screen I view any significant amount of video on is the 8.4" of my Tab S.
the notch doesnt really bug me that much what dose is the battery percentage not showing as for Touch ID not an deal breaker from what I been reading Samsung will be going in that way soon, I have an note 8 the reason why I use my iPhone X more is for 2 reason battery life is better and stereo speakers , I use Bluetooth headphones but what I am at work or some were else I rather just use the phones speakers and the note 8 crappy speakers is bad and battery life sucked not bad just not good , I am no iPhone fanboy I have always had an iPad but I just like using the x more , I will not buy another slamming with out stereo speakers I mean an 1000 phone should have them simple as that, I will be skipping the galaxy s9 I know that will have stereo speakers but those speakers and the snapdragon 845 is not enough of an upgrade for me to buy the phone when note 9 comes the by then the upgrade would be worth it

Every night across Australia more than 105,000 Australians experience homelessness.
This statistic is both shocking and preventable.
One of the common misconceptions in regards to homelessness is that it mainly affects middle-aged or older men when in fact, 60% of the homeless population are under 35. Of those, 44% are women.

As I've mentioned before, I have partial season tickets to the Bulls this year. My friend Neil and I purchased 11 games, and this is the 8th we have had tics for. So far this year, we are 0-5, and we sold the tickets to the two other games. So obviously, this investment was turned out terrific for the two of us. Neil had been prodding me to write an entry about a Bulls game, a sort of Simmons-esque running diary of the experience of watching a Bulls game this year. We figured that Friday night's game against the Denver Nuggets would be as good game as any to write about.
**-Upon waiting for Neil to show up at Gate 2 prior to the game, I watch the people enter the U.C. I then see a guy wearing the greatest jersey of the season so far, even better than the dude wearing an authentic Bears Kordell Stewart jersey a few months ago: this cat had a Trent Tucker jersey. Yeah, thats right. Trent. Tucker.
**-Neil shows up and we make our way up to the 300 level about 15 minutes prior to game time. We get our beers and then spend the next fifteen minutes before tip walking up the stairs to our seats, intermittedly stopping to get oxygen and check our heart monitors. Our seats aren't that bad; we're just out of shape and somewhat fat.
**-Finally, the game is about to start. Before the game, like at many sporting events now, the Bulls show a two or three minute highlight film which showcases past great Bulls and then eventually transitions to the key players of today. This year this film has been more comedic than anything for Neil and I. It starts out great…….the movie shows some of the underrated good players of the early 70s like Norm van Lier, Bob Love, and Jerry Sloan, and then shows the guys that we all grew up idolizing (Michael, Scottie, etc.). Then, when it comes time to show the "stars" of today, the names like Duhon, Hinrich, and Sefolosha seem pretty anti-climatic.
*–The game begins, and its already obvious to Neil and I that the 15 year old kid sitting behind us is going to provide us with an immense amount of entertainment. He's probably watched about 6 NBA games in his life, yet he's discussing strategies like he's James Naismith. At one point, the Bulls get a technical foul for illegal defense, and the Nugs send Carmelo Anthony to the line to shoot the free throw. Probably a good call; he's shooting 81 percent from the line this year. "Why do they have Carmelo shooting the free throw? A.I. is a much better shooter," proclaims little Naismith. (By the way, Iverson is also shooting 81 percent–but is a career 76 percent free throw shooter compared to Anthony's 82 percent).
**-A very entertaining first quarter is highlighted by the Bulls opening up a 33-21 lead, a few nice dunks, some very athletic blocked shots by Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah, and the teenage white trash couple in the two seats in front of us realizing they have made a grave mistake. By about the 4 minute mark of the 1st quarter, they realize our stupid heckling and inane comments, peppered with 'fuck' and 'cocksucker', don't make for the best date atmosphere. The girl was pretty hot though.
**-Which brings me to another point: I never knew that Bulls games were such an attraction for underage ass. You would think Cubs games would be the go-to sporting events for jailbait in this town, and you're probably right. But considering the U.C. isn't exactly on the best side of town, Neil and I have both been really surprised at how many young girls go to these games by themselves. Honestly, the only thing that surprises us more is how drunk they get when we buy them one beer. Great investment for $5.50 guys.
**-By the mid-second quarter, Neil and I are discussing–loudly–our friend's habit of letting his parents run his life despite being 31 years old. "Why's John being such a pussy?", I ask. "I don't know, motherfucker…..he's being a bitch." Meanwhile, little James Naismith watches as Ben Gordon penetrates and puts up a wild layup attempt, missing badly. "He should of kicked it out to Noah!", he says. "He was wide open from 22 feet!" Yes…..thats what the Bulls need. More perimeter opportunities for Joakim Noah.
**-Speaking of Noah, during a timeout, the Bulls do a 'get-to-know-you' thing with Joakim on the scoreboard. One of the questions is 'Whats your dream job?' Noah answers, 'I'd like to run a fruit stand.' Really? You're making millions of dollars a year at age 22 playing a sport for a living, and your dream job is selling peaches to tourists for 20 dollars a day? Neil and I are stunned into silence by this.
**-The half ends with a crazy Bulls run, and suddenly the potent Chitown hoops club is up 68-55 at the intermission. The crowd is stunned, as are Neil and I. Little Naismith proclaims that this is what the Bulls should of been doing all along, "Just shooting." What an offensive mastermind. "It also helps that they're shooting 64 percent," I say to Neil. Little Naismith seems upset, but Neil and I are too determined to get more beer.
**-While walking around the concourse during the half, a Bulls fan gets to really enjoy the wide variety of legal ass in the building. It must be the high-priced seats, but the hot soccer moms are out in full force during Friday and Saturday night games.
**-Neil decides to get in the Sweet Treats line for some halftime ice cream. "You're gay," I proclaim, and I leave him there to go back to our seats. As the third quarter starts, the Bulls are on fire, opening up a 20-point lead. Meanwhile, the couple sitting in front of us AND little Naismith and his family are all gone. Neil and I must have really been on our game.
**-By the time Neil comes back, the third quarter is almost over. With room to stretch out and only our friends, the fellow season ticket holders, around us, Neil and I get comfortable and loud. "This wouldn't be happening if Fat Lever were still here," I deadpan, loudly. "Where's Alex English? I wanted to talk to him about his groundbreaking role in 'Amazing Grace and Chuck!", Neil says, exasperated. The NBA junkies sitting around us love it; others, not so much.
**-Meanwhile, the game has become the most exciting Bulls game Neil and I have been to since 1997. The Bulls are up 101-87 after three, and both teams are just running up and down the court, shooting and dunking. The guys a few rows behind us are good and drunk, and are thrilled because the Bulls have scored 100 and we now get free Big Macs. "I'm trying to get fed, fool!" and "I haven't had a free Big Mac since that chickenhead I used to fuck was working the fryer back in 92!" are among the statements made. There really is nothing like the 300 level at a Bulls game. Neil and I are very excited that someone used the word 'chickenhead'. Its about time that word came back.
(A "quick" story about that game in 97: the Bulls were playing the Sonics the year after they met in the Finals. The Bulls won in overtime as Michael hit two free throws after a, shall we say, suspicious foul call on Gary Payton with about a second left. It was a great game, but what made it really great were the other things that happened that night. We went with two girls, one of whom got the tickets from her dad's work. The seats were awesome, in the 100 level just in front of the private suites. In fact, our seats were just in front of the suite used by Michael's family, and we even got to talk to his mother. I think I thanked her for having her son. She was nice, saying "Ahhh…you're welcome, sweetie," and then I'm sure she called security. Also, the two girls we went with got on the big screenb during two seperate timeouts, mostly because one of them had blond hair and a huge rack. Then, after the game, Neil's friend–who worked as a ballboy–asked us if we wanted to stand just outside the locker room and meet the players as they came out.
So we got down there, and we saw all the great players in that game come out, one by one. Payton, Shawn Kemp, Scottie, Rodman…..all of them. I shook hands with the great Luc Longley and told him 'Great game Luc.' I think he had about 6 points. He said "Thanks mate." Yeah…..'mate.' My girlfriend at the time, who we shall call 'Hungry', got a picture with George Karl. We saw Scottie's woman go into the locker room and later come out with him, and needless to say she was ridiclously hot. But finally, the moment we had been waiting for…….Michael came out. My hero, three feet away. I don't know if you've ever been around someone that famous, but if you're not prepared for the experience, you swallow your tongue. You can't say anything. Eventually, the big breasted blond yells out, in her whiter than white suburban girl voice, "Great game, buddy!" to Michael. Easily the funniest shit ever, as about 25 people then laughed and mocked her. Then, as we were leaving, we had to walk past G.P. and his family and friends, and I actually bumped into him. Remember, he was called for a bullshit foul that cost his team the game about an hour earlier. He gave me a look, and I honestly thought I was going to be on the news. 'Idiot bumps into the Glove; gets knocked the fuck out….story at 10'. But I said "Sorry," avoided eye contact, and just kept moving. All in all, a solid experience.)
**-Back to the Bulls-Nugs game. Even as Denver's J.R. Smith continues to hit crazy shot after crazy shot, the Nuggets can't get any closer than 6 down the stretch. The Bulls score over 30 in every quarter, winning 135-121. Its their highest total in a regulation game since 1998. Ben Gordon scored 37, while Thomas and Noah combined for 31 points, 21 rebounds, 5 blocks, and about 10 dunks. Melo and A.I both played well also. Easily the best game of the year for the Bulls. Good times.

I recently did some soul searching regarding my GNU/Linux philosophy. I found that I wasn't being true to myself.
For years now, I've run Slackware Linux as my primary operating system and a second, fully updated version of Debian as my secondary OS. I'm a firm believer in simplicity and stability. I enjoyed both of those qualities in Slack and Deb, of course. They are both rocks when it comes to stability. I've never had a crash in either operating system that was due to the OS itself. Any crashes were usually caused by something stupid that I had done.
All that being said, while contemplating upgrading from Debian Lenny to Squeeze, I had an epiphany. Slackware and Debian are not very much alike, other than their common quality of stability. Where Slack has a relatively small application set; Debian's repos are huge. Where Slack uses close to the newest versions of its software; Debian uses versions that are typically three to four releases old (VERY stable and proven stuff).
It was always difficult for me to sync Slack's apps with Debian's in my primary and secondary operating systems because of the discrepancy in releases; especially so with Mozilla apps like FF and TB. This got me thinking… maybe Debian, even though it had always been my fall-back operating system, might not be serving my purposes that well after all. Is there something better out there for what I want to do?
As most of you know, I have five tester slots on a dedicated drive just for trying out and learning other distributions of GNU/Linux. No, I don't do virtual. I like to REALLY install and set up operating systems. Virtual computing is like virtual sex. It works, but it's not nearly as much fun (or as messy). In one of my tester slots there is almost always an installation of Arch Linux. Why Arch? Well, it's a cool distribution. That's why.
Seriously, Arch is a very stable, very robust distribution of GNU/Linux. It's been around about ten years now. It's a fork of the old Crux branch of the Linux Tree. I started playing around with Arch about three years ago, I think. I was impressed right off the bat. One of the greatest things about Arch is its outstanding support community, particularly the wiki. There is an abundance of information for Arch users of all sizes and shapes. Support is a good thing!
As a result of all this deep thinking and philosophizing, I decided to install Arch as my official secondary operating system. I spent the past three days installing and setting it up. I'm using it now to post this article. I have everything set up to closely match my Slackware installation. I keep both sync'd (manually) and updated. If my Slack craps out, I can always boot Arch and seamlessly carry on until I fix my Slack. Odds of Slack crapping out? Null. You never know, though.
Give Arch a try. You might be impressed. For a very good tutorial on installing Arch, see securitybreach's tutorial at Scot's Newsletter Forums – Bruno's All Things Linux.

I love the little tacos. I love them goooood. (High five if you get the reference.)
You are looking at a delicious homemade taco.
We bought corn tortillas (although for the record I have made them from scratch before), sprayed with oil, and baked on the oven rack for 10 minutes at 375°.
Most of the meat is home-ground, but we did buy some today because we didn't have enough.
The seasoning is homemade, slightly adapted from a recipe I found on the internet. I'll try to remember to share it soon.
Lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese are cut/shredded by hand.
I did not make the sour cream but just give me time…. 😉
Oh and this is a tortilla sprayed with oil, sprinkled with cinnamon-nutmeg-sugar, and baked. Next time maybe a bit more of the sugar mixture, and maybe a sweet cream cheese frosting to dip in. (Or maybe honey?)
I wasn't planning to blog this but it was so damn delicious… I'll be back tomorrow with a year-end post. (In fact, I'm going to go draft it right now.)
Hope your celebrations have been merry and bright, and that none of your guests have overstayed their welcome.

Miami's favorite pill-popping, adopted-father Frenching, nonsensical metaphor making (or is "I can play basketball with the moon" a simile?) rambling blogger Lil Wayne has used his ESPN.com soapbox to unleash a rant about troubled Cowboys defensive back Pacman Jones' indefinite suspension from the NFL:
I don't think the Pacman Jones situation is sad at all. I do not
think Pacman Jones should be in the NFL. If I was the commissioner, I'd
kick him out. They keep giving him chances and he keeps messing up. You
got guys like Hines Ward out there getting fined for making
plays on the field on one hand, and then on the other hand you got guys
in situations where people are getting shot. Come on. You have to be
smart about the company you keep. I should know. But sometimes it's not
just friends--it's family members who are into bad stuff who bring you
down. And how can you get rid of family? You can't. That's why I think,
in his situation, there is no way he's turning it around. I mean, come
on. He's a grown man. They don't give these huge contracts to kids. His
main job is to stay out of trouble and he can't do that, so I'd kick
him out of the league.
Okay, okay, fair enough. But didn't you make a song called "Make it Rain"- the very activity that has come to define Pacman Jones' troubles? Dare I ask: how do you say "hypocrite" in Weezy?

A modern retelling of Rabindranath Tagore`s classic novel, the film chronicles a triangular love story which is as much a story of passionate romance as it is of clashing ideologies. Directed by Aparna Sen, Ghawre Bairey Aaj stars Anirban Bhattacharya, Jisshu Sengupta and Tuhina Das in central roles.

This is one of the more interesting arguments in the job search world, as there are typically two very distinct points of view. On one end, you have the "less is more" folks who like to edit their resume down to one page in the belief that a Recruiter will not read more than that. On the far end, is the belief that one should never take the chance of taking out something that may be relevant to that Hiring Manager, so editing is done very sparingly. The reality is that the best strategy is usually something in between these two schools of thought.
Let's take an unbiased view of each point of view:
- One Page – "Less Is More"
- Easy to Quickly Review – It is true that the first time out a Recruiter may only give a resume a cursory review before determining if it is "out" or put aside for further review. An advocate of a shorter resume generally believes you are writing the document for the reader, not as a biography for yourself.
- Nothing is Lost on Later Pages - A one page document places everything immediately in front of the Recruiter in order to make that initial decision. There is no pertinent information found on a page two or beyond that may never get looked at.
- Eliminates Filler – The thought is that for many once you go beyond page one, you are just adding non-value added material. A one-page document is much more focused and better tells the story of your career and why you should be interviewed. Adding filler may cause a Recruiter to draw a false conclusion that you are overqualified for the position.
- Leave Something Out – If you do connect with a Recruiter who is very thorough and reads resumes from start to finish, you may leave something out that they are truly interested in.
- May Appear Under-qualified – This can be especially true if you leave information out, but just on the surface your document also can pale in comparison - especially with the 2-3 page documents of your competition.
- An Overdone Page – Sometimes, in a one-page document, the Job Seeker actually has more than that much information jammed into it, leading to a document that is hard to read.
- Multiple Page – "Leave It In"
- Need Space for Experience – For some job seekers, due to the length of their careers or the level of their accomplishments, multiple pages are required to capture the information. If you have been in a leadership role for 10 or more years with a couple of different employers, it is quite challenging to write a resume in less than two pages.
- Competitive Market – For people in the "leave it in" category, the competitive market leads a person to include all relevant information in case any of it is relevant to the Recruiter. The idea is any piece of content may be enough to provide a competitive advantage.
- More Aesthetically Pleasing – A one-page document can often look crammed and not appealing. A longer document provides a little more room for white space, a larger font, and bullet points.
- Arrogance – If the multiple pages are not warranted from your experience, you may come across as pretentious. A seasoned Recruiter will see right through your attempt to pad your resume.
- Wordiness – The longer the resume, the much more likely you are to see lines of narrative information in paragraph form. This format rarely works as well as bullet points, since it is much less reader friendly.
- Lack of Focus – A longer resume (especially when it is 3 or more pages) may lead someone to think you lack the ability to focus and edit your document. The conclusion may be that you lack the depth to truly know what is important.
- Date Yourself – A key is to not go back so far in your experience that you begin to date yourself. It is generally accepted that 15-20 years of work experience is all your resume needs to go back. If you have a job from 30 years ago on page 3, then you may want to begin editing.
My conclusion is that there is not one way that fits all job seekers. For someone just out of school or seeking an entry-level or hourly type of role, a one-page document works well. Anything beyond that may make you seem overqualified or arrogant. If you are a seasoned professional seeking a management type of role, a multi-page document would be expected. The key is to make sure whatever you do that you are adding relevant and meaningful information. Choose the resume format and length that works best for you, without worrying about any mysterious unwritten requirements.
As always, best of luck in your job search!

My pregnancy is almost over.
I can't even say it's been a long nine months. In reality, it's flown by way faster than I thought it would. Each month slipping by before I could even stop and check one of the many "pregnancy checklists" you see online.
Each month flying past, over so soon that I have barely had time to really analyze my feelings. So here is my attempt at that now, with (hopefully) only days left.
Happy and Sad at the same time
I think this one is fairly common – I'm happy that the wait is almost over, yet sort of sad that once my baby is here, I'll miss all those little sommersaults in my belly. I've been blessed with a fairly easy and uncomplicated pregnancy. Minor annoyances aside, the grand majority of these nine months have been one fantastic discovery after another. From first finding out that I was pregnant only a few weeks after I conceived, to the "quickening" where I felt Zig move for the first time, to finding out that the wee one has dropped, I'm so happy and thankful for every experience I've had. And though I'll be over the moon when Lil' Ziggy is born, I think I will probably experience some sadness over no longer feeling another human grow inside me.
Okay, so "done" isn't really an emotion, but today I say it is. I'm "done" being pregnant, done with puffy feet and sore hips. Done with OB appointments (and I've only had one!), and done with worrying that I have all my ducks in a row. Heads up: I don't, but who does?
But I'm also done because I want to meet my baby so badly. Every night I go into labour and every morning I wake up disappointed that it was all a dream. As I inch towards my due date, the anticipation is only building and every ache and pain reminds me that my Ziggy is still preferring my cozy insides. Come on out, Lil' Ziggy! It's cozy out here too!
Worried because, for all my preparation, I still have no real idea of just what's in store. I've written and studied my birth plan, I've got my hospital bag ready to go (well, the baby portion anyway. My own bag is a work in progress…), the crib is up, the car seat base is properly installed, I've read books and blogs and websites about those first few days and beyond… but what do I really DO when it's all over and I'm given this precious little baby to take care of for the rest of my life?
I know I'll figure it out, just like every mother in the history of humanity. I mean, how did they raise children before parenting books were a thing anyway? And I've done so much research that I feel like I could recognize a lot of situations and problems and then remedy them. But there's still an element of worry in my mind: how do I know that I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do?
Thankfully this emotion is stronger than my worry! The last days of pregnancy is like Christmas Eve to a child, times about 6000. I have no idea what to expect, but I do know that it's going to be awesome.
I'm also feeling strangely good and energetic these days, which I'm hoping is a sign that things will happen soon. And of course I'm wildly excited to finally meet Lil' Ziggy, to hold my wee one in my arms and introduce myself as "Mommy".
In love
I'm in love with this tiny human that I haven't even seen yet, besides all the hilarious squirming in my belly. I'm in love with the ten fingers and ten toes that I know are in there, and will soon be making their appearance. I'm in love with the little feet that will be kicking in footed onesies instead of my ribs. I'm in love with the little face that I've only glimpsed on an ultrasound screen.
But most of all, I'm in love with my wonderful husband. Make no mistake, I was in love with him before we started this new journey, but I'm even more in love with him now that my pregnancy is coming to an end and we're closer to meeting our baby. To see him getting excited about becoming a father, to see him setting up the crib and moving furniture around, to see him being protective of me, fetching me water, carrying all the groceries… ah! So in love. I know I picked a good one. He's going to be an amazing dad.
Your turn! If you're a mom, what kinds of emotions did you experience as you made your way towards your due date? If you went overdue, did some of those emotions change or get stronger?

A little over fifteen years ago I composed "A Poem of Apocalyptic Emancipation" which I decided to post on this blog a few weeks ago. It was the narration of a struggle I had been having for some time as I wrestled with the clash of two worldviews that seemed to be colliding in my conscience. The struggle is epitomized in the title/subtitle of the poem:
"…And the things of earth will grow strangely dim."

Wireless Earphones
The expected battery life is between 3.5 and 4.5 hours. However, this may vary depending on the usage and device. Changing songs and volume often can also affect the battery life.
Some Tips for Extending Battery Life:
Turn the power off when not in use. Leaving the headset in sleep mode will drain power.
Keep your batteries at room temperature: not only is it bad for the molds to be kept at warm temperatures, it can also decrease the battery life of your Decibullz.
Perform shallow discharges: instead of discharging to 0% all the time, our batteries do best when you discharge them for a little bit, then charge them for a little bit.
Fully discharge it once a month: While our batteries shouldn't be discharged regularly, it is good to let them go all the way down sometimes to reset the calibration.
Don't leave it plugged in at 100%. This is something most of us do, but it's another thing that can degrade your battery's health over time.

It may be added that the cunning are often deceived by those who have no such intention. When a plain, straightforward man declares plainly his real motives or designs, they set themselves to guess what these are, and hit on every possible solution but the right; taking for granted that he cannot mean what he says. Bacon's remark on this we have already given in the • Antitheta on Simulation and Dissimulation. "He who acts in all things openly, does not deceive the less; for most persons either do not understand, or do not believe him.'
• Nothing doth more hurt in a State than that cunning men pass
for wise.
It is indeed an unfortunate thing for the Public that the cunning pass for wise, that those whom Bacon compares to a house with convenient stairs and entry, but never a fair room' should be the men who (accordingly) are the most likely to rise to high office. The art of gaining power, and that of using it well, are too often found in different persons.
i The Rosciad, l. 117,
AN ant is a wise creature for itself, but it is a shrewd' thing i in an orchard or garden; and certainly men that are great lovers of themselves waste the public. Divide with reason between self-love and society; and be so true to thyself as thou be not false to others, especially to thy king and country. It is a poor centre of a man's actions, himself. It is right earth; for that only stands fast upon its own centre; whereas all things that have affinity with the heavens move upon the centre of another, which they benefit. The referring of all to a man's self is more tolerable in a sovereign prince, because themselves are not only themselves, but their good and evil is at the peril of the public fortune: but it is a desperate evil in a servant to a prince, or a citizen in a republic; for whatsoever affairs pass such a man's hands, he crooketh 3 them to his own ends, which must needs be often eccentric to the ends of his master or State: therefore, let princes or States choose such servants as have not this mark, except they mean their service should be made but the accessary. That which maketh the effect more pernicious is, that all proportion is lost. It were disproportion enough for the servant's good to be preferred before the master's; but yet it is a greater extreme, when a little good of the servant shall carry things against the great good of the master's: and yet that is the case of bad officers, treasurers, ambassadors, generals, and other false and corrupt servants, which set a biast upon their bowl, of their own petty ends and

envies, to the overthrow of their master's great and important affairs. And for the most part, the good such servants receive is after the model of their own fortune, but the hurt they sell for that good is after the model of their master's fortune. And certainly it is the nature of extreme self-lovers, as they will set a house on fire and' it were but to roast their eggs; and yet these men many times hold credit with their masters, because their study is but to please them, and profit themselves; and for either respect they will abandon the good of their affairs.
Wisdom for a man's self is, in many branches thereof, a depraved thing: it is the wisdom of rats, that will be sure to leave a house some time before its fall: it is the wisdom of the fox, that thrusts out the badger, who digged and made room for him: it is the wisdom of crocodiles, that shed tears when they would devour. But that which is specially to be noted is, that those which (as Cicero says of Pompey) are "sui amantes sine rivali'' are many times unfortunate; and whereas they have all their time sacrificed to themselves, they become in the end themselves sacrifices to the inconstancy of fortune, whose wings they thought by their self-wisdom to have pinioned.
• An ant is a shrewd thing in a garden.' This was probably the established notion in Bacon's time, as it is with some, perhaps, now. People seeing plants in a sickly state covered with ants, attributed the mischief to them; the fact being that the ants do them neither harm nor good, but are occupied in sucking the secretion of the aphides which swarm on diseased plants, and are partly the cause, partly the effect of disease. If he had carefully watched the ants, he

would have seen them sucking the aphides, and the aphides sucking the plant.
But Bacon, though he had a great fancy for making observations and experiments in every branch of natural philosophy and natural history, was remarkably unskilful in that department. His observations were slight and inaccurate, and his reasonings from them very rash. It is true we ought not to measure a man of those days by the standard of the present, when science has—partly through Bacon's means—made such advances. But he was below (in this point) what might have been attained, and was attained, in his own day. Copernicus' theory was not unknown in his day; yet he seems to have thought lightly of it. Also Gilbert the Magnetist he did not duly appreciate. And most remarkable of all, perhaps, is his error-noticed in the preface-respecting the Misselto; a trifling matter in itself; but the casting up of a sum is a test of one's arithmetic, whether the items be farthings or pounds.
Unlike Bacon, Socrates greatly discouraged all branches of natural philosophy. According to Xenophon, he derided those who inquired concerning the motions of the heavenly bodies, the tides, the atmosphere, &c., asking whether they expected to be able to control these things? or whether, again, they had so completely mastered all that related to human affairs, of which Man does possess the control, that they might afford to devote themselves to speculations remote from practice?
That nature can be controlled, by obeying (and only by obeying) her laws ("Naturæ non imperatur, nisi parendo '), the maxim which Bacon so earnestly dwells on, and which furnishes the proper answer—though well worthy of that earnestness,— is what all mankind-even savages-have always in some degree acted on. For he who sows his corn at the season when he has observed that fertilizing rains may be expected, and so that by the time it approaches maturity the season of sunshine may be expected, does virtually command rain and sun. And the mariner commands the winds and tides, who so times his voyage, from observation, as to be likely to meet with favourable winds and tides. And so in an infinite number of other cases.
· Divide with reason' between self-love and society; and be so true
to thyself as thou be not false to others.'
The difference between self-love and selfishness has been well explained by Aristotle, though he has not accounted for the use of the word pilautia. It is clear that selfishness exists only in reference to others, and could have no place in one who lived alone on a desert island, though he might have of course every degree of self-love; for selfishness is not an excess of self-love, and consists not in an over-desire of happiness, but in placing your happiness in something which interferes with, or leaves you regardless of, that of others.? Nor are we to suppose that selfishness and want of feeling are either the same or inseparable. For, on the one hand, I have known such as have had very little feeling, but felt for others as much nearly as for themselves, and were therefore far from selfish; and, on the other hand, some of very acute feelings, feel for no one but themselves, and, indeed, are sometimes amongst the most cruel.
Under this head of the dividing between self-love and society' may be placed a distinction made by Bishop Coplestou? between two things which he says are occasionally confounded by Locke, as well as most other writers on education. Two things,' he remarks, 'ought to be kept perfectly distinct-viz., that mode of education which would be most beneficial, as a system, to society at large, with that which would contribute most to the advantage and prosperity of an individual. Now, the peculiar interest of the individual is not always the same, is seldom precisely the same, is even frequently at variance, with the interest of the Public. And he who serves the one most faithfully, always forgets, and often injures, the other. The latter is that alone which deserves the attention of a philosopher; the former—individual interest—is narrow, selfish, and mercenary. It is the mode of education which would fit for a specific employment, or contribute most to individual advantage and prosperity, on which the world are most eager to inform themselves; but the persons who instruct them, however they may deserve the thanks and esteem of those whom
