Democracy in the Conflict of Ideologies
By REV. THOMAS E. HILL, Ph.D. (Edinburgh), Professor of Bible, Southwestern College, Memphis, Tenn.
Delivered before the fourth Southwestern College Public Forum on a "Just Peace and World Reconstruction," Memphis, Tenn., April 8, 1943
Vital Speeches of the Day, Vol. IX, pp. 702-704.
GOVERNMENT of the people, by the people, for the people." Aside from the technical distinction between absolute democracy and representative democracy, the spirit of democracy has never been more satisfactorily presented than in these words of Abraham Lincoln. People's government arose from two tap roots. The first is that Athenian democratic order of which Pericles spoke so eloquently in his great funeral oration. The other is that democratic spirit which was vigorously expressed in the life of the Hebrew people whose literature has played so significant a part in the development of civilization. From the beginning of the Christian era democracy, passing through many vicissitudes, gradually strengthened its hold until, with the signing of the treaty at Versailles, it promised to become the way of government for all lands.
However, communism was even then offering with every year of its endurance a growing challenge to the democratic order; and after 1922, the year of Mussolini's march upon Rome, one country after another began to abandon democracy. The volume of the anti-democratic clamor continued to increase and the prestige of democracy to decline until by 1940 people's government seemed to many to be essentially a thing of the past and totalitarianism to be borne on the "wave of the future."
Today the problem of democracy is not, as might have appeared to be the case in 1920, to discover philosophical reasons for holding what everyone already believes; rather the Question is: What in the light of the burning conflict of ideologies is the essential, the fundamental truth about this way of government that once seemed beyond dispute? For the enemies of democracy are right; the struggle is not one of techniques of government, but of moral philosophies. We must prepare to cast aside our superficial prejudices and plumb the depths in fearless candor in the light of all that the critics of democracy have said if we are to discover an enduring foundation for our governmental way of life.
Two questions emerge. The first is this: Upon what basis, if any, can it be asserted in these days that democracy is really the best order of government? This question leads us immediately to an attempt to find essential moral values and realities. Although such values must be verified by rational, moral, and religious judgments, they should and Can be discovered in the solid earth of historical fact. History does not always mean the same thing to all people, but, as one tries to be as genuinely objective as possible, one fact emerges from the struggle of the ages as the clue to an intelligible interpretation of the drama of the human story: and that is the inherent and incomparable worth of every individual human being. A person lives in and is responsible to a society, but he is himself the sole center of consciousness and the bearer of all other values. Material wealth, states, political and economic processes, races—all these are significant only in terms of their relationships to persons. This, I take it, is the supreme moral discovery of the great Hebrew prophets which sets them so far above all their contemporaries in their era and makes them teachers even of contemporary civilization. Especially is it the characteristic doctrine of the Founder of Christianity. In a world where human life was cheap, men and women counted for little,and autocracy was the rule, He dared to declare that under the Divine Father every human life was of inestimable value. "It is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." "How much then is a man better than a sheep." "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." Thus does our Lord ring the changes upon the truth of the worth of a person.
This is the essential basis of the spread of Christianity in the Roman world. The friendless peasant, the down-trodden woman, the slave, the humble member of a suppressed race, through this way of Jesus, felt that at last he could stand up as a man or a woman upon the basis of his own worth before a God to whom alone he was really responsible. It was this, appealed to by kings and reformers, which at the close of the Middle Ages called in question the rights of both churchly and secular authorities who had asserted claims to autocratic power. This, in the ringing phrases of Rousseau, Paine, and Henry, laid the foundation of those great upheavals the French and American Revolutions. More than this, strange as it may seem, this fact of the inherent value of the individual was in part the force which made possible the rise of the fascist and communist revolutions, as men and women in the midst of unfortunate circumstances groped, though in misguided ways, for rights of which they felt themselves unjustly deprived. This, I say, is the supreme moral value revealed in the solid facts of history; revolutionary in the past, it is tremendously potent for the future.
What is discovered in history is also backed by reason, which compels us to recognize in others a selfhood which we cherish in ourselves, by a conscience which refuses to allow us to escape from the principle involved in the Golden Rule, and by a religion in which the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are the most universally appealing elements.
How do our philosophies of government stand relative to this basic moral fact? This is the acid test of political ways. Communism and fascism have been able to make some use of the principle, but their essential teachings are the antithesis of it. Their leaders deliberately and violently repudiate it. In fascism the supreme moral value is the State, a fiction if ever there was one, as though the State, not the individuals which compose it, were a center of consciousness. Such a concept has no place for persons as such. In communism the supreme moral value is the productive laborer, an abstraction of a misleading kind, as though there could be a worker who was not also a man with a variety of interests which have little to do with his work or its reward. If the fact of human worth be a test, fascism and communism are but partial and hopelessly unbalanced forms of political order.
What of democracy and the supreme moral value whichwe have discovered? No form of government alone can guarantee a condition in which men are treated according to their worth. Such a condition depends upon economic, ethical, religious, and educational factors, over which the State can never and should never have complete control. However, in so far as any form of government can secure an adequate recognition of the rights of the individual, in so far as any form of government can assure that all persons will be treated as bearers of inherent worth, democracy does this, and in proportion as it is genuinely democratic. Every step in the progress of democratic theory has sought its justification, whether sincerely or not, precisely in an appeal to the principle of the worth of human beings. Every step in the development of democratic fact has been a step in the direction of the realization of this principle in the order of society. All of the great documents of modern democracy are firmly planted upon this principle. Thus the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self evident:—That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Thus also the preamble to the Constitution. Thus also the French Declaration of the Rights of Man. Thus also those great speeches of American and British; patriots which have become classics of democracy. If Abraham Lincoln's definition of democracy as "government of the people, by the people, for the people" is at all true, democracy is an expression of a deliberate attempt to found; government solely upon the truth of the inherent value or persons. It is an attempt to discover and put into operation a mechanism through which the will of the people becomes the rule of the land. It is, in so far as it is real democracy, government "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
That the inherent and inestimable worth of the human being is the clue to history is, then, verified in reason, conscience, and religion. Democracy is the sole form of government founded upon this solid reality.
The establishment of the superiority of democratic theory over rival theories is by no means the sole concern of a study of democracy in the conflict of ideologies. Equally important is the discovery of the course to be pursued by democratic fact in face of the challenge of rival systems.
This then is our second question: What must democracy do to save itself? Certainly it must win the war. That is imperative, but however thoroughly that is done, the essential problem posed by the current criticism of democracy will still remain. The fact that half the world has turned in distrust from people's government is strong indication that there is something wrong in the house of democracy itself, and that not alone in those countries where democracy has been superficially tried and rejected, but also in those countries to which men have looked for its best expressions. Something desperately needs to be done, something more than that which can be accomplished by a military victory. If we ignore this elemental fact, we may fail to destroy the roots of that against which we struggle and be rudely awakened by its recurring forms, which may arise next time nearer home. What then must democracy do to survive in a world which in important places has lost faith in it?
To be sure the cure of our democracy's ills does not lie alone in the sphere of government, but in so far as it does, three courses are possible.
For one thing democracy can limit itself; that is, it can become less democratic. Many people believe that democracy has gone too far, that it stands in great danger of becomingmob rule, that what we need is not more popular participation, but more intelligent direction. We must return to the principles of Alexander Hamilton and have done with Thomas Jefferson. We must let the people feel that they govern, but place the power in the hands of those who are fit to rule. We require an aristocracy of intelligence, a stabilization by property-holders.
It is not yet generally recognized how widespread this view is. Two statements recently made by students are typical of ideas held by many of their elders. When asked if there were any value in the fascist idea, one said that the leadership principle is sound and, if we could get the right kind of leader, autocracy would be the right kind of government. The other replied that, considering all that our labor unions are doing, we might have to learn something from the fascist. Perhaps more cautious people would not put the matter so plainly, but many are convinced that some withdrawal of people's participation is necessary.
This is a possible way, but it is not a way of saving democracy. Rather in precisely that degree in which it is achieved is it a surrender of democracy. Democracy is not simply government for the people, it is also government by the people. From its point of view even the most benevolent despot is still a despot, and government even by a perfect leader would still be bad government without people's participation. If a person is of real value, he requires as an expression of that value a real participation in the control of the affairs of the society of which he is a part. What is more, the restriction of democracy is not likely to work. People who have tasted freedom and self-rule do not easily surrender it on a permanent basis. This way of retreat isa betrayal of the very foundation upon which democracy makes its claim to be the right way of government. It involves a fundamental distrust of human nature which plays into the hands of the enemies of democracy. It is much more apt to be based upon an attempt to preserve property than upon an endeavor to further the interest or promote the well-being of people.
A second way emerges: Democracy can exert a greater effort to preserve itself just as it is. The kind of government that we have now attained is adequate, the argument runs, and we dare not risk any change. This is what is often meant by "preserving our American Way." At all cost, it is said, we must preserve the status quo. Our answer to this view is clear: We must not forget that it was in face of this status quo that the rival ideologies have emerged. To confirm uncritically the status quo is to close our eyes to the force of these rival philosophies. It is another way of doing what was done after the last war; that is, of relapsing into complacency, blindly oblivious of the fact that opposition to democracy would not arise on so large a scale if the working of democracy were perfect, and that making the world safe for democracy is not complete with the winning of a war and the repression of the enemy.
Can it be that the ground for opposition to democracy is that the status quo in democracy is really not quite democratic? Certainly many normal men and women have sincerely felt that our American democracy is not entirely what it pretends to he. While democracy has progressed a long way in our country, we are by no means guiltless of the charge of pledging allegiance to people's government with one hand while holding out the other to special privilege. We speak of universal suffrage; yet a large part ofour adult population, the Constitution notwithstanding, is effectively kept from the polls. We speak of a land of opportunity for all, while the surroundings in which many of our children are compelled to live would dwarf the mental and moral stature even of a potential genius. We speak of liberty and equality, yet we nurture class feelings, refuse to surrender racial antipathies, and remain indifferent to grave injustices based upon distinctions of color. We speak of the brotherhood of all men, but often allow those who are indifferent to the effects of our national policies upon citizens of other nations to choose our course in foreign affairs. We speak of the worth of people, yet conduct our affairs as though things counted more than human beings. We are willing enough to recognize value in our own persons, but are much more reluctant to act as though the value of others were as real.
To preserve the status quo is not to preserve democracy, for the status quo is not sufficiently democratic. Rather, to preserve the status quo is to substantiate the charge of hypocrisy leveled at our democracy by our enemies and so to foster that kind of dissatisfaction in which anti-democratic ideologies breed.
One other course is open to us. We can see to it that the democracy of fact becomes more really the democracy of ideas. That is to say, we can make our democracy more democratic, more genuinely a people's government. This is the only way of salvation for a democracy; and for the very simple reason that only in this way can democracy place itself squarely upon that moral fact which it claims to express, the fact of the inherent value of every human being. From its connection with this fact democracy has gained its strength in all ages. Only by being increasingly true to it can democracy maintain that strength in a period of conflicting ideologies.
To express the value and support the interests of some individuals and not those of others will never do, save as a passing stage. If democracy is to live, it must become increasingly what it claims to be, a people's government. Only so can it remove the sting of its critics' cries and make its rightful appeal to those who, feeling that they have been cheated of their rights, have been tempted to turn to other ways. The real threat to ordered government is not the people, but the fear of the people.
We must broaden the electorate, in fact as well as in theory, until every sane literate adult has an opportunity to make his will felt in the affairs of state. We must simplify the ballot so that the essential issues will not be clouded by a mass of technical details. We must be ever alert to discover better ways of finding, and sounder techniques for executing, the will of the people. We must see to it that every child has. a decent environment and an educational opportunity in accord with his ability, regardless of the financial status, race, class, or creed of his parents. We must be ready to surrender special privilege for the common good. We must be democratic in fact as well as in name.
Democracy was born in the struggle of personality to express itself. From the moral appeal of this struggle it has derived its strength. Where men have become indifferent to the extension of freedom while many were not yet free, democracy has become weak and listless. It must resume with vigor the march for liberty and the good life, at home as well as abroad, in the cultural and economic spheres as well as in the political. It must be relentless in its fight for freedom and the development of the human spirit, not of some persons only but of all. Then and then alone will democracy be true to itself, the governmental expression of the worth of a man.

Let the highest motive in medicine be love.
– Paracelus (1493-1541)
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
- PRIMUM NON NOCERE – First of all, do no harm
- VIS MEDICATRIX NATURAE – Act in cooperation with the healing power of nature
- TOLLE CAUSAM – Address the fundamental causes of disease
- TOLLE TOTUM – Heal the whole person through individualized treatment
- DOCERE – Teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine

Classical Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a powerful system of medicine that is more than 200 years old. This medical system uses highly diluted substances of plant, animal and mineral sources to restore health. Homeopathic medicines stimulate the body's natural immune response and rarely have side effects. Homeopathic medicines are safe to use during pregnancy and can be taken with prescription medicines.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical Medicine is the use of plants as medicine. Many plant substances are powerful medicines that can restore health by stimulating the immune system and are safe and effective when used properly. Recent scientific evidence in the U.S., Europe and Asia has revealed that the active components in some plants are superior to synthetic drugs in clinical conditions.
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical Nutrition is the cornerstone of Naturopathic Medicine. The practice of using foods therapeutically to treat illness and to maintain health is essential to healing and maintaining a state of well-being throughout the life cycle. "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food" (Hippocrates, "The Father of Medicine" c.460-377 B.C.) is sound advice which applies to this day. Scientific research has shown that many medical conditions can be treated as effectively with whole foods and nutritional substances as they can by other means with fewer complications and side effects.
Counseling and Stress Management
Mental, emotional and behavioral states are important elements in healing illness and maintaining optimal health. Mind, body and spirit must all be considered in the treatment of dis-ease and restoration of health.

Nasty Gal
Nasty Gal. Shophia Amoruso. Film. Vintage.
Nasty Gal is what I want to be. It is where my soul wanders at night releasing, channeling, letting go of pent up anger mercilessly. It is that safe place where hard rock verging on metal music intertwines its limbs with the fragile and wavering feelings of uncertainty. It is who I am.
I would not necessarily describe myself as nasty to be around, but I stand up for what I believe. I show selfishness, but that is in order to survive. I am loud, I shout and yell to make myself be heard – to not let my voice be drowned in a crumbling society; however, I am not passive aggressive nor point blank violent at all. Nasty Gal is a title, a simple name, a cover up which provides protection, comfort and security.
It is not my name to take or to keep, but I can borrow it and identify with it. I is a song, a film, a person. It can be perceived as beautiful and brave at times but at other times, it can be misunderstood for arrogance and overconfidence. In reality, it is a delicate rose.
Ambition is the fuel that feeds the consuming fire in Nasty Gal. The everglowing spitting splints of fire ignite the wilderness that governs in one's heart, like the warm musky air that envelops your senses as soon as you pull closer to the crackling fireplace in the middle of your house. Ambition glints and grins and giggles at you, coaxing you closer – leading you by the nose and if you are not careful and meticulous, it will lead you blindly into despair.
Anger and determination deter the ambiguity of ambition. Anger opens the eyes to reality and determination helps to succumb the everlasting obstacles.

Ploughing is the most traditional of seedbed production techniques. But the rise in popularity of high speed, high-output cultivators over the last few years has seen many farms over-look the mouldboard as an effective means of trash and weed seed burial.
With a tractor and plough set properly, there is much to gain from inverting soil, but it demands attention to detail and a knowledgeable operator.
For example, David Tomlinson, of Swan Farm, Deighton, York, chooses to plough about 80% of his farm, each year.
He says: "Ploughing remains an integral part of my cultivations process, and it's only in the last few years that I have stopped ploughing for oilseed rape establishment, primarily to help tackle an eelworm problem."
Mr Tomlinson accepts there are cheaper ways of seedbed preparation, but says the farm's sandy loams are well suited to inversion.
"I plough to achieve a high quality, clean finish that helps to improve field drainage, it can alleviate any compaction and it contributes to increasing weed control," he says.
"But the ploughing process is all about attention to detail," he says. "And one setting won't suit all fields for the whole season. Be prepared to make adjustments and understand what is going on."
Equipment in use at Swan Farm includes a Lemken five-furrow EurOpal 8 with C40 bodies and a Lemken Vario press with 45-degree rings, behind his New Holland T6030. Also a keen match ploughman, it is perhaps fair to suggest Mr Tomlinson knows his way around a plough and how to get the best result from it.
"Yes, there are compromises to be made and while output is a consideration, the primary goal is quality of finish," he says.
"As a guideline, ploughing depth should ideally be two thirds of the furrow width but the depth of topsoil will also dictate some settings," he says. "I aim for nine inch in depth and a 16-inch furrow – it suits my soil type and my tractor tyre size when running in furrow."
Mr Tomlinson says furrows should butt up tightly against each other and remain closed, to make it harder for any buried weeds to return to the surface.
"If you change your ploughing depth, then you will need to adjust skimmers too, or risk them being in too deep or too shallow, which means trash will not be properly buried."
"The rear furrow disc, if fitted, only needs to cut a shallow sharp edge at the top of the furrow wall – if its too deep, this can create an odd shape to the furrow and subsequent passes won't match up."
He also warns operators should also consider the effect wearing metal can have on the quality of work.
"If I have fitted a new set of points and wings together, then I will run the points until they are about half worn and then fit a new set of points," he explains. "This helps to even the wear rates between parts and prevents a new point pulling much deeper than the wing.
"When the second set of points are worn, and the wing is getting down too, I can then refit my half-worn points ahead of replacing the points and wings again.
"I accept ploughing is slower and more costly than min-till systems, but good ploughing can reward in many ways. Properly done, I can offset the cost of chemicals and keep weeds under control."
This is a view echoed by David Farrow, assistant farm manager at Velcourt's Woolfox Depot, Stamford, Lincolnshire.
"If you are just going to black over a field, you may as well go straight in with the cultivator and scuffle the top few inches," he says.
"Ploughing is a fairly expensive task compared to cultivating, but it forms part of our long term weed control policy and soil management strategy. But the process must be done properly."
Velcourt's Stamford operation handles 2,700ha of cropping on a variety of farming units which serves up a wide variety of soil types. Such a business demands a degree of flexibility when it comes to cultivations strategies.
While the majority of fields are cultivated with min-till equipment, the plough has an important role to play, often one a one-in-five year basis. And Mr Farrow expects ploughing to be carried out to a high standard.
"It is important to know what you are doing with your plough and how to set up your outfit properly to get the best results," he says.
"You just can't cut corners."
"We are looking to get the maximum amount of cultural control from ploughing, so it is essential trash is correctly buried, furrows match up and ploughing leaves an even surface for any subsequent cultivation passes."
Traditionally, Velcourt has been using the plough after sugar beet and recently, has extended its use to prepare ground ahead of rye.
"Rye responds well to a ploughed seedbed, and this also creates a useful level of drainage too."
The lion's share of ploughing at Velcourt's Stamford operation is the domain of a 12-furrow Kverneland RW100 pulled by one of the farm's two Quadtrac STX535s. It is an implement which has been in use at Stamford for about eight years and handles around 500ha of ploughing each season.
A smaller six-furrow Besson reversible is also in the machinery fleet for use with wheeled tractors, should there be a requirement to plough when the Quadtracs are fully engaged in cultivations and drilling.
"We aim for a ploughing depth of 8-9 inches and with furrow widths of 14 inches on heavy land," he says. "We are not chasing output, but having a big plough with plenty of power up front does deliver a useful amount of productivity."
He says the relatively narrow furrow width makes it easier to turn the heavier soils, creating a useful closure and making it harder for weeds to grow through to the surface.
"We've found a wider furrow can reduce the quality of work done," he says. "And ploughing on-land means the tracks don't smear the furrow bottom."
Having a rubber-tracked crawler with identical track widths front and rear makes it easy to set up the front furrow width. And with auto steering guidance on the Quadtrac providing A-B lines on-land, left and right-hand bodies are matched with as much accuracy as running
in the furrow.
Mr Farrow says mouldboard design and skim settings are essential for good inversion and trash burial, as is having the correct forward speed.
"It is too easy to plough too fast, throwing soil and making it look like you are doing a good job.
"Too high a forward speed will see skims throw material over the mouldboard in front and this will affect ploughing quality and trash burial," he says. "Skims must not be too deep, or too shallow – they just need to peel trash off the edge of the furrow.
"It is important to have a good operator in the cab who can identify what is going on with the plough as soil types and field topography change," he says. "If you are not prepared to get off the seat a few times and make adjustments to maintain a high quality finish, then
you're wasting time and money by ploughing.
"We believe there will always be a place for the plough in our rotation, though we make sure our kit properly set-up for the soil types and field conditions."

After nearly a year of waiting and speculation, iPhone X what is a Sha, we have been through the last new conference known. The new machine will be on November 3 sale, even if the booking will have to wait until October 27 Caixing. Now we can do, it seems to be waiting for it.
Even if the iPhone X from the price of up to 999 US dollars in the country is reached 8388 yuan, but there are still many fruit powder is waiting for it. After all, even Apple said, iPhone X is "the future of smart phones." Able to have so many new technology flagship new machine in the hand, think about the feeling.
So that the status of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus seems to become embarrassing up, after all, compared with the iPhone X they still have a small distance in technology, and even many people are directly that these two new machines and The last generation is no different. Of course, we do not know what the final sales of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be, but there are a lot of people in the industry who are worried that they will be affected by the existence of iPhone X.
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus really so shabby? If you carefully go to a ratio, then they and the iPhone X actually have some common ground. From a purely pragmatist point of view, perhaps some people will feel that the iPhone 8 series to achieve this level has been enough. Carefully inventory, you may find that the iPhone 8/8 Plus and iPhone X have so much similar to the place.
First of all, of course it's the processor chip. As we announced before the release of the new machine, iPhone 8/8 Plus and the iPhone X is equipped with the same chip - A11 bionic. According to Apple's tradition, the same generation models will not use processor performance to divide the level. A series of chips has always been a single line of iPhone and iPad. If Apple is to announce at the press conference, iPhone X alone with a super chip, and the iPhone 8/8 Plus is the use of the performance of the model, how can this is justified.
So in any case, at least on the performance of the iPhone 8/8 Plus are strong enough, and the iPhone X is exactly the same level. Compared with the previous generation A10 Fusion, its two performance core speed increased by 25%, 4 energy efficiency core speed increased by 70%. Apple's own design of the GPU, making the graphics processing speed of 30%. In addition, Apple's next-generation performance controller can better play all six core potential, dealing with multi-threaded performance improvement can reach 70%.
It is worth mentioning that the iPhone X uses the so-called "super retina" screen resolution of 2436 * 1125, to some extent, the lower resolution of iPhone 8/8 Plus performance may be better
In addition to the simple performance, A11 bionic chip also has the so-called neural network engine. We all know that Apple is now paying attention to artificial intelligence technology and machine learning, and it is constantly emphasizing the potential of these things in the future and has played a huge role. Neural network engine designed for iOS equipment, machine learning task design, which uses dual-core design, up to 600 billion times per second operation. So that in the implementation of machine learning tasks, the device will be able to use it, quickly and efficiently to achieve the goal.
Although artificial intelligence and machine learning these things are not so "shiny", but the change allows us to subtle benefit. Also have A11 bionic and neural network engine, indicating that the iPhone 8/8 Plus in the future trend is not left behind, they are in the artificial intelligence and iPhone X at the same level.
There is also a rear camera. Front camera system, iPhone X has a deep sense of the camera, which makes it have the ability to face recognition. This is not enough on the iPhone 8/8 Plus, but if it is a rear camera, iPhone 8 does not say, at least iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X is basically the same.
The same is 12 million pixels dual lens, they also have f / 1.8 aperture wide-angle lens and f / 2.4 aperture telephoto lens, up to 10 times digital zoom. Portrait mode, portrait light effect of these functions they all support. Including this year's new 4-LED original flash, these are the same.
Of course, we used the "general" three words, which means that the iPhone X is still some of their own unique things, such as dual-lens optical image stabilization, which can greatly increase the amount of camera into the light, making its low light environment better.
In addition, iPhone X dual camera layout by the tumbling set. Although this is not a great impact on the ordinary camera experience, but in the use of AR, people will generally hold the phone sideways, so that dual cameras have become tapping. Coupled with the iPhone X between the camera to increase the distance to facilitate the calculation of the depth of the object. These features add up, we can expect iPhone X's AR experience is better than the iPhone 8 Plus. This point in the conference after the keynote speech on the test has been a certain degree of confirmation.
Charging function is also worth mentioning. The new iPhone to join a new feature is the wireless charging, which is three new machines are supported. iPhone X and not because of its flagship positioning has such as remote wireless charging of new technologies, but with the two iPhone 8, the same use of Qi standard base sensor charging program. In addition, the new iPhone has a fast charge characteristics. Although this requires a USB-C adapter, it is likely to mean to spend more money, but for now can not do without the smart phone modern people, 30 minutes 50% of the electricity is still quite attractive.
Finally, the iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus, the shell is made of glass material, and in Apple's words is "so far the most durable glass panel." Although there are slightly different designs, the glass back cover has a 50% thick finish and a steel base and metal frame for reinforcement. At least from the visual effects, it should be said that the difference will not be very large. In addition, you will not worry about a little bit all day to make the phone shell can produce ugly cracks.
There is no doubt that the iPhone X certainly better than the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus more advanced, otherwise it is more expensive price is completely unreasonable. iPhone X has a deep sense of the camera system, so that it no longer adhere to fingerprint recognition, into the face recognition era. iPhone X put on the OLED panel, bringing the concept of super-retina, so that the screen display on the basis of the past more beautiful. Show performance was like, let alone there are cool full screen design.
But as we said in the above, even under the iPhone X shadow iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, they and the former gap is not so big, at least in many ways, the three are similar The Even the iPhone 8/8 Plus, you can still get a pretty good experience. If you are not very eager to full-screen design, the interest in facial recognition is not large, do not pursue those who experience the AR upgrade, then the iPhone 8/8 Plus think about it, it seems enough. Insist that in addition to the technical shortcomings, that is, even if the double-sided glass, the design we have seen a full four years.

For the last few days, I've spent parts of my days spinning wool. Finishing up my stash of dyed merino fleece from Belfast Mini Mills and combining it with a grey wool fleece into one ply. Also using up white wool fleece from New Brunswick that I was given for Christmas. Next I will over-dye all these mini-skeins of hand-spun yarn in different combos of natural dye.
I've been lucky enough to have been given a fantastic selection of natural dyestuff over the years: madder root, cochineal, alkanet, saffron, lac, and even indigo (I've only attempted the indigo twice so far), and my own collection of onion skins.
The thing is, I don't really have a dye kitchen in our apartment in Charlottetown. In the winter, the kitchen must be cleaned and taken over for a day of dyeing, and then cleaned again. In the summer, I can dye out on our back deck in the fresh air (though no outdoor sink is a bit tricky). I'm really missing our basement we had in our Halifax apartment: two giant porcelain sinks below a window with lots of afternoon light - perfect for the time-consuming process of natural dyeing and the necessity of letting things sit for days and not be in the way.
All this to say that the hand-spun one ply that I will dye (making due the my kitchen and living space as it is) will be used to continue my Islands project that was started last winter. The colours of wool will be my palette for crocheting my islands, matching the sand, cliffs, dunes, grass, forests, and bogs.

(Imagine me pointing thumbs at myself.) (And smiling like a maniac.) (Yup, that's me.)
Got these Jeffrey Campbell Litas at Stone Ridge in Metrotown and on sale for $120 + tax too! They only had two prints unfortunately. This or an ugly-carpet-old-granny-cat-print. So it was hands down the snakeskin multi-coloured Exotic. I'm addicted.. Planning to buy Jeffrey Campbell Tardy in black or JC Ad Long once I get my paycheque.
I wore these for the first time to the Vancouver Art Gallery with friends. It started raining and I walked tons, but surprisingly these held up pretty well. A full outfit shot in next post! I need to take a nap now... Slept through all 3 of my classes today, and worked a shift in between.

World renowned physicist Michio Kaku is a major buzzkill for atheists.
Science World Report states,
"Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, one of the most respected scientists today claimed that he found definitive proof of the existence of God. The information he shared created a great stir in the scientific community simply because of his status as one of the creators and developers of the revolutionary String Theory, which is highly regarded everywhere in the world.
The report on Feroces Mente explained that to come to this conclusion, he made use of what is called as the "primitive semi-radius tachyons," which are theoretical particles that are capable of unsticking the Universe matter or the vaccum space between particles. They then leave everything free from the influence of the universe that surrounds them.
While working on this theory, Kaku discovered what he says is the evidence that the universe was created by an intelligence rather than by random forces. To put it simply, as stated by Catholic.org, he said that we live in a Matrix-style universe.
"I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence," the scientist said. "Believe me, everything that we call chance today won't make sense anymore. To me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance."
Scientists aren't the only ones who must be fuming.
It's become very trendy today to claim to be an atheist. Scorning the idea of our Creator as nothing more than a fairly tale, seems to be a real ego booster. Scoffers seem to feel that not believing in God puts them on a higher plane of intelligence. Or makes them seem more "cool."
But Kaku is by no means the first scientist to believe in God. He's in good company with the likes of Einstein, who famously stated, "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz were actually Kabbalists and many attribute some of their findings to have been inspired by study of the Kabbalah.
Many stubbornly cling to the idea that "seeing is believing." So maybe they should open their eyes

In the unlikely event that you are confused--igloo-ologists build igloos every time there is enough snow to do so. They can't help themselves. They are snow addicts. No, not that snow. Fluffy snow. Of the snowflake variety.
The last time we had enough snow to build an igloo, I was six months pregnant with Joseph.
And 90 gajillion points to the first person not related to me who can identify the last song. you're cool. let's be friends.
Yes, I am six months along in the above video. Yes, I am serious. No, you don't have to yell at me. It's been taken care of. Joseph was born with a love for snow, so it was completely worth it. End of discussion.
So, anyways, it's been over three years without a snow big enough for igloo building. Read: Addict withdrawal. With the end of winter nearing, Stephen was starting to despair. His son NEEDED an igloo, people!
Then along came Winter Storm Saturn. Ta-da!
Took up residency in our new home.
The sad face didn't fully convey my anguish...
Hysterical wailing. Hair pulling. Teeth gnashing.
There. More accurate.

statues of Prudentia erected on its branches round the country, but until I passed the Halifax building in the Strand I hadn't realised that they too had a 'house style' in sculpture.
The Halifax adopted the arms of their home town, which is a slightly gruesome image of the blood-dripping head of John the Baptist on a plate, with the chequerboard of the Norman overlord Earl Warenne in the background and the Lamb and Flag above. The inscription Halez-Fax perpetuates a bogus 19th century derivation of the town's name from the early English for 'Holy Face' (actually, the name probably comes from the Old English for 'area of coarse grass in a nook of land').
The Society added a pair of classically dressed supporters (or, in the case of the woman, classically partially-dressed).
The Strand building was designed in 1932 by Colonel George Val Myer & F.J. Watson-Hart, a firm of commercial architects whose big commission was Broadcasting House.
The Lamb and Flag is so badly worn it looks more like an elephant - compare the arms on the Kingston upon Thames branch.

1. Something that is very near and dear to my heart are my siblings. Despite fighting terribly when we were younger, we've become much closer now and I love having them in my life!
2. Sunshine and new friends are good cause to celebrate.
3. The most fun I have ever had was life. I don't think I could choose just one time, as I've had far too many good times.
4. True friends are the ones that always have your back. That can tell you when you should be cautious but are ecstatic for you when you have something good happen in your life.
5. Something that makes me extremely happy is music. I don't know why or how and I can't even choose one song/band/genre or anything. Just music. It makes me happy.
6. A good way to spend a sunny day is sitting outside reading a book, going op shopping or having a picnic in the park. I really want to do all of these things!!!!
7. My favourite celebratory food is cake. Any cake. Preferably one with lots of icing!! There's something really special about cake, maybe because it is so heavily associated with special events such as birthdays, weddings, Christmas, etc!
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend!!!!!

You knew it was coming, right? The moment Chris got his hands on the new touch screen, front-facing QWERTY BlackBerry Bold 9900, he just couldn't wait to put it head to head against the other best mobile browsers in the business, Apple's iPhone 4 Safari and Google's Android browser as instantiated on the Samsung Nexus S.
This time around, as seen in the video above the BlackBerry Bold 9900 browser kept pace with the iPhone 4 and Samsung Nexus S we pitted it against and now, BlackBerry is enjoying the richer browsing experience it should have had all along.
It's interesting to note that all three (and HP webOS) are now using WebKit, the Apple-driven open source web rendering engine, but each have their own JavaScript engine and their own unique implementations. Most importantly, they're all pushing each other for better, faster, more powerful web support, and that's good for us.
Of course, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 has a much smaller screen (in order to leave room for that keyboard), but we're sure the good folks at CrackBerry will repeat this battle with the full screen BlackBerry Torch 9850 when they get their geeky little hands on it.

The KMT-led administration's antediluvian stance on same-sex marriage is symptomatic of an apparatus that continues to reject modernity
By once again tackling this subject I fear that I may beating a dead horse, but the Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) administration's position on same-sex marriage, so abhorrently expressed at the legislature earlier this week, is so symptomatic of everything that is wrong with his government and the party that he led until recently that I fell compelled to comment anew.
To put it succinctly, the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) doesn't seem that have learned any of the lessons that were taught it this year. Neither the Sunflower Movement occupation of the Legislative Yuan nor the resounding defeat it suffered in the Nov. 29 nine-in-one elections seem to have affected how the executive and legislative branches under its control regard society.
Yes, Cabinet ministers on both occasions opined that the administration had heard the voice of the people, that it needed to consult society and youth, and must do better at explaining its (invariably sound) policies to the public. But those were platitudes uttered by politicians who remain wed to an institution that has failed to move into the 21st century.
My editorial, published today on Thinking Taiwan, continues here. (Photo by the author)

Bill to Reduce Income Inequality Moves to House Floor
Rep. Ely's Bill Creates A New Tax Bracket for Top Earners & Addresses Inequities in New Mexico's Tax System
Santa Fe, NM – A bill to address New Mexico's income inequality and taxation inequities passed the House Taxation and Revenue Committee today by a party-line vote of 7 to 6. House Bill 201 creates a new top income tax bracket for the state's wealthiest earners.
"Today we took another big step forward toward creating true fairness among our economic classes here in New Mexico," said Rep. Damon Ely (D-Corrales). "House Bill 201 is asking those people who make at least $230,000 per year to pay approximately 1% more in personal income tax. Under the current system, those who make $230,000 pay the same tax rate as those who make $16,000. That is not who we are as New Mexicans."
Income inequality is worse in New Mexico than in 38 other states. The top 5% income earners have fifteen times the average income of the lowest 20%. New Mexico has the second-highest poverty rate in the country. HB 201 not only addresses some of these taxation inequities, but will also bring increased revenue to our state.
"The additional revenue raised by this proposal will help add additional funding for our schools and ensure that no further cuts are made to our emergency services," said Rep. Ely.
The new top income tax bracket for tax years after January 1, 2018 would be 5.9% applying to: income over $230,000 for married individuals filing separately, income over $460,000 for heads of households, surviving spouses, and married individuals filing jointly, income over $306,667 for single individuals and for estates and trust.
The new tax bracket would affect only 1,721 households or 0.083% of New Mexicans, according to the Taxation and Revenue Department.
House Bill 201 now moves to the House Floor.

Guest MST3K: K19
Hangar 18. Kojack and a Dick Van Patten look alike take on a government conspiracy regarding aliens. I just gotta love a movie that features NASA's state of the art Pong technology.
I had to deal with another annoying glitch with another of my DVDs, this one with the sound randomly fading out for a half seconds time. Not often enough to keep me from following the action, just a bit jarring. I did get my copies on the cheap, so I guess it's not that surprising. Perhaps one day when I am richer I'll see if I can upgrade to better copies. This episode also made me wonder how much did the guys know about the movie before hand in these early days? Joel comments that made for TV movies look different, Josh corrects him that it wasn't. This sounded like a real exchange of information to me rather than a joke of some kind.
So, was this the shortest first host segment ever? Joel says the name of the movie and dashes into movie sign. I did like learning in the second segment that Joel's left handed, like me! Too bad the video was random freezing frequently now making it hard to follow the dialog. I did catch that Joel was trying to explain to Crow why it would be bad if Joel suffocates. "No more mid mornings pleasure stimulations."? "Get my belt!"? Life on the SOL was different before they went to cable, I guess. I wonder who the lucky sap who becomes the 1000th fan club member and wins the demon dog is. I guess we'll find out in the next episode.
Favorite riffs:
(Some guy at NASA asks astronauts if they have checked their LX switches.)
Crow: Hey Joel, did you check our LX switches?
(long pause)
Servo: Joel?
Joel: Ya?
Servo: Did you?
Joel: No.
Servo: Uh-oh.
(General Morrison: What do you got?
Pilot: I- I don't know!)
Servo: Rabies.
(screen shows shots of earth the aliens have taken)
Crow: Great alien holiday snaps.

Replace the chives with an equal amount of any of your favorite fresh herbs, if desired. Bake the biscuits up to 3 days ahead, and store in an airtight container. To reheat, place in a 300° oven for 10 minutes.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 400°.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine buttermilk and egg; stir in chives. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, and stir just until moist.
Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 5 times. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note: To maximize the number of biscuits, gather the dough scraps after cutting and gently reroll to a 1/2-inch thickness. A light hand with the dough will ensure tender biscuits.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Former Mexican drug lord Eduardo Arellano Felix, the last of four brothers captured or killed in connection with a once-powerful Tijuana-based cartel depicted in the Oscar-winning film "Traffic," pleaded guilty to U.S. drug charges on Friday.
Arellano Felix, 56, admitted in U.S. District Court in San Diego to one count of conspiring to launder hundreds of millions of dollars in drug proceeds and one count of conspiring to invest that money for the cartel's benefit.
Under his plea deal, federal prosecutors will recommend that he serve 15 years in U.S. prison and then be deported to Mexico. Sentencing was set for August 19, ending a criminal prosecution of the Arellano Felix family by U.S. authorities that began in 1997.
Eduardo Arellano Felix had faced a maximum sentence of 140 years if convicted of the charges brought against him in an indictment, including racketeering and conspiracy to distribute and import marijuana and cocaine to the United States.
The indictment described him as a "senior adviser" to his brother Benjamin, the former cartel chief who pleaded guilty in January 2012 to drug trafficking, money laundering and racketeering and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Looking pale and subdued, Eduardo Arellano Felix admitted in court to handling money and directing payments, including bribes, but denied having anything to do with the violence and day-to-day smuggling decisions of the cartel.
"I was there," the former medical doctor said in Spanish through an interpreter. "I just talked to my brother Benjamin. He did that, I didn't."
Defense lawyer Brian Funk characterized his client as having lived as a recluse in the years before the downfall of the crime family and his capture in 2008, saying Eduardo Arellano Felix's role in the cartel was confined to directing its money-laundering operations.
"Benjamin would ignore his advice, from what (Eduardo) told me," Funk said.
As part of the plea agreement entered in court on Friday, Eduardo Arellano Felix agreed to forfeit $50 million in proceeds, though prosecutors say they have not identified where the money and assets are held.
The Arellano Felix organization controlled the drug trade from its base in Tijuana, south of San Diego, between 1986 and 2002.
At the height of its power in the 1990s, the cartel smuggled hundreds of millions of dollars in narcotics through a 100-mile-wide corridor stretching from Tijuana to Mexicali, south of Calexico, California. The cartel also was alleged to be behind hundreds of murders in Tijuana and across Mexico.
The brothers gained an added measure of notoriety when the Tijuana cartel and its battle with the rival Juarez cartel were dramatized in the 2000 film "Traffic," which earned four Oscars.
But the family was hit hard by U.S. and Mexican authorities in the 2000s. Ramon Arellano Felix, the cartel's flamboyant enforcer, was killed in a shootout with Mexican police in 2002, and Benjamin Arellano Felix was arrested in Mexico that year and extradited to the United States.
A third brother, Francisco Javier Arellano Felix, was arrested in 2006 on a fishing boat by U.S. authorities and is now serving a life sentence.
An older brother, Francisco Rafael, was arrested, indicted and turned over to the United States in the early 1980s, before the family cartel rose to prominence. He served six years for selling cocaine and was deported back to Mexico.
With the downfall of the Arellano Felix brothers, the rival Sinaloa cartel run by Mexico's most-wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, has largely taken over the Tijuana cartel's valuable turf.
The Mexican government has extradited record numbers of reputed drug kingpins to the United States in recent years while Mexican police and soldiers have rounded up thousands of hit men and smugglers.
However, the offensive has led to escalating violence, with more than 70,000 drug-related murders during the six-year term of former President Felipe Calderon, and his efforts were widely condemned as a failure.
His successor, President Enrique Pena Nieto, is keen to rewrite the script, focusing his attention on the economy, which has grown at a faster pace than the United States' in the last three years.

I'll try anything once when it comes to fitness. I thrive on a challenge and I believe in making the most of every opportunity, no matter how much it might terrify me!
With this thought in mind, I accepted without hesitation the opportunity to try climbing at High Sports in Basildon.
Arriving at the centre and catching sight of the climbing walls, my excitement turned into trepidation! The 32ft walls looked incredibly daunting and the idea of being suspended in the air on a thin rope was suddenly not so appealing! But I was determined not to let my fear hold me back and wanted to embrace the chance to try a new activity.
I kitted out with a harness which fastened snugly around my waist and legs, as well as climbing shoes with a rubber sole and pointed toe.
Before I could attempt to scale the wall, I was given a induction covering the basics of climbing. The instructor Colin demonstrated how to attach the climbing rope to my harness using a figure of 8 and stopper knot. After practicing the technique several times, I had the knots mastered and we moved onto the safe use of a belaying system and ground anchor.
With the climbing rope threaded through a belay device, I learned how to take up slack in the rope as the climber ascends, and release the rope tension to safely and slowly lower them back to the ground. Using a weighted bag attached to the rope, I practiced the motions of belaying and controlling the ropes tension.
After my induction, it was time for the beginners club session lead by James, and to put into practice the skills I had learned! I was partnered up with another climbing beginner, and began my first attempt at the wall as he moved the rope through the pulley system. I worked my way up the wall reaching and shifting my body weight to position my feet and hands on the holds. The holds were in different sizes and shapes (one was shaped like a cauliflower), and some seemed impossibly small to place my weight onto.
The further I climbed, the more the panic set in! The ground seemed far away and the handholds had become more sparse- I couldn't reach for the next grip. I decided that half-way was good enough for my first climb, and called to my partner to lower me down. Descending was even more scary- leaning away from the wall and placing my trust in my partner (and the rope) to hold my weight! It was tempting to cling onto a rock and stay put!
With my feet back on the ground, it was my turn to belay as my partner attempted a challenging climb on a different area of the wall. The various routes, known as problems, are marked by colour-coded holds indicating the difficulty level of the climb. I was happy to use any route up the wall, but my partner was working on climb using only red handholds.
I climbed another 4 or 5 times during the 90 minute session, working on different areas of the wall. I didn't manage to make it to the top, but I progressed a little further each time. Perhaps next time, I will reach the summit!
High Sports has a really friendly, relaxed atmosphere with each of the instructors being very patient, experienced and helpful. Everyone was happy to spend time explaining the technique and offering advice to beginners. There was even a mocha cake baked by centre manager Mia for refueling after a tough climb!
Climbing is great way to improve general fitness and muscle tone, I certainly felt the effects in my shoulder and arms the next day. It also requires a lot of problem solving, mental concentration and focus, it's a workout for the mind as well as the body.
If you are interesting in giving climbing a go, check out the beginners session at the Basildon branch of High Sports. The Monday evening beginners rock club runs from 7:30pm until 9:30pm and costs £20. New members need to attend a 30 minute induction.
I was given a free induction and beginners session at High Sports, but all opinions are my own.

Jam Artist
"I still haven't done anything with those strawberries," the Renaissance Man lamented earlier this week. "Maybe I should have you teach me how to make jam."
Say no more, dear friend -- I always stand ready to initiate others into the joys (and labors) of food preservation.
So I gathered up a handful of small canning jars, the rest of my own strawberries (a cup at best), and headed to his place to show him the ropes.
Though I washed and sliced my contributions to the pot, I made him do the work on the rest (and told him to consider it physical therapy for his healed arm). Once all the berries had been thrown into the pot, I mashed them until juicy and still a little chunky.
Meanwhile, he decided that the remaining foraged mulberries might be a good addition to the jam, so he added those as well as the necessary sugar.
I set him to stirring the pot as the jam heated up, while I set up his Dutch oven with jars and rings to be sterilized and let it start bubbling away.
I'll not bore you with the tedious details (stir, stir, stir; use tongs and strong language to remove boiling-hot glass jars from the makeshift canner; ladle hot jam cautiously into jars). We opened the back door for a good breeze, kept ourselves hydrated, and did the necessary.
But at the end of it all, he had one pint jar, one half-pint, and three half-cup jars of darkly glistening and not-too-sweet berry jam awaiting his pleasure.
Well, we didn't really have to wait too long: one small jar was opened in time for dessert so that we could top vanilla ice cream with this new berry "sauce." (An excellent decision!)
"That's all there is to it?" he asked as we stood back to admire his handiwork. And when I confirmed it, he started pondering other similar projects for later this summer.
Maybe this year, he'll make all the jam for me!
Labels: friends, fruits, new skills, preservation (canning), use it up
