Vladimir Lenin: Truth and Oppression
Previously, I discussed how Lenins perspective on political issues amounted to taking Russian society, shaped like a circle and fitting it into Marxist theory, shaped like a square. Today, I want show how he attempted to do this, what we can learn from his attempt.
If you want to fit a circle into a square, the best thing to do is cut the circle into the shape of a square. Lenins policy in the Soviet Union from 1917-1923 did just that. When Lenin took power, he had three major issues: fighting a civil war, ending Russias involvement in WWI and restructuring the economy along socialist lines. Lenins method is most evident in his approach to the economy.
First, the Communist Party implemented war communism, which banned money and set up a rationing system. War communism quickly failed, because the peasants were screwed by the system and refused to give away their crops. The industrial workers did not produce enough to satisfy peasant demand either.
So, the Communist Party went to the drawing board and came up with the New Economic Policy, which instituted a highly regulated economy, with free trade amongst peasants and small businesses. The idea was simple; since Russia was not a highly developed capitalist nation, then the Communist Party would have to develop it along quasi-capitalist lines first, then make the transition into pure socialism. The NEP was moderately successful, but criticized heavily by hardline communists, who called it a step backwards.
What I am trying to illustrate is simple. Lenin and his buddies were engaged in social engineering (I use this loosely), by tweaking a society to develop according to Marxist theory. Social engineering cannot be successful if there is any political discourse, because social engineering presupposes the principles it is founded on to be true and proper. If something is true, then there is no dispute to its validity and therefore, all discussion hampers the realization of this truth. If discussion, which supposes a dialogue and hence a diversity of opinion (the opposite of discussion is agreement, which supposes homogeneity of opinion) hampers the realization of truth, then it must be wrong and therefore harmful to those implementing the truth.
One can see why it did not phase Lenin much to sign off on eradicating opposing political parties.
Im using Lenin and his pursuit of ideological truth as an illustration to a serious problem I see in our society. The reason why Capitol Hill is so highly divided is like Lenin, our Congressmen (right or left) think they hold the truth. If a liberal senator thinks his way is true, then not only is his conservative counterpart wrong, but the advocacy of his counterparts position is an existential threat to his truth. Therefore his opponent must be demonized. The same thing applies conservatives thoughts on liberals.
The problem is our representatives are ideologues. Their pursuit of solutions to social issues isnt rooted in the study of economics, sociology or political science. Sure, they use these disciplines to support their ideologies when it is to their benefit, but they root their solutions in their belief, just like Lenin did in the Soviet Union. Political dogma, at this point, takes precedence over practical solutions.
Next week, I will be shifting gears into Stalins rise to power.

BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Gilbert's Ending -Gilbert's POV- I looked from Toni to see _____, blushing and smiling at him. A slight pang of jealousy rang through my body to also wrap my eyes around her. How? The awesome me, jealous? Oh, right. Because I loved her. "Nein!" I batted Toni's arms away. "She's staying with zhe awesome Gilbert. Now shoo, both of you." Toni raised an eyebrow while Francis smirked. They both knew about my feelings for _____, so they left, but not before Toni mouthed 'good luck'. -Normal POV- You were, to say the least, somewhat confused. Why did Gilbert just shoo away the others? Why did Toni just mouth 'good luck'? Unless... No. He turned you so your faces were almost touching, and heat rushed to your cheeks. Close up, the albino was overwhelmingly cute and handsome at the same time, and you marveled at how you hadn't noticed this before. All of his confidence seemed to dissipate as he stared into your (e/c) eyes with his face completely red, complementing his scarlet eyes perfectly. "_____, I-I
BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Antonio's Ending-Antonio's POV- _____ looked so cute with a smile and a slight blush dusting her cheeks that I wanted her for myself. Normally, I wouldn't be this greedy, but something strange came over me. "On second thought, I'll be taking _____." I placed a quick pick on her cheek. She gasped and blushed even more, but before she could say anything, I pushed Gilbert and Francis down the attic stairs. Francis honhon'ed, knowing what I was about to do. Today was the day that I finally confessed my feelings for her. -Normal POV- Wait, what? Toni just... gave you a kiss? Blood rushed to your face, turning it a deep shade of red. Not that you minded, of course. He was sweet, funny, and- wait, what were you thinking? It was common for spainiards to kiss people in greeting, right? He turned back to you, effectively shutting the hatch door with a foot, and you felt your face heat up even more. He was definitely up to something, as his face was pink. He looked at you with an adorable smile that illumin
BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Lovino's Ending "Hey, tomato bastard!" A disgruntled voice with a slight Italian accent made Toni pause in his attempt to drag you downstairs. You grinned at Lovino, thankful for the opportunity to wriggle out of Toni's grasp, and tripped in the process. "Thanks, Lovi- MEEP!" Lovi caught you before you could land face-first onto the floor. For a moment, his heart beat against yours, and you blushed, pulling away. Then, upon seeing the color of face, you began to giggle. He had turned as red as a tomato, complementing his auburn hair nicely. "I-idiota ragazza! Watch where you're going!" Ouch. That comment stung a little. -Lovino's POV- I immediately regret my outburst at _____. She stopped laughing, and looked at me with a hurt expression that made me want to apologize a hundred times. Why did she have to so damn cute? Toni raised an eyebrow, clearly concerned for her. He and I both had feelings for _____, but neither of us could work up the courage to confes
BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Francis's Ending "Uh..." You were being cornered by a VERY drunk Arthur who was wearing nothing but a black apron and a white collar with a black bowtie. Where the heck did he get those from? Somehow, you managed to shake your friends off, and were about to go back to the attic when he showed up. Normally, he was a perfect gentleman to you, but he absolutely couldn't hold his liquor. "H-heeey, _____." Arthur's voice was slurred, and he was so close that you could smell the booze on his breath. "You're looking s*xy tonight." A small blush formed on your cheeks as you slowly backed into a wall, unable to come up with a proper response. He only grinned drunkenly, and proceeded to invade your personal bubble, trapping you against the wall. You tried to push him away, but he was surprisingly strong. For a second, it seemed that you were going to be raped or something, but someone pulled Arthur away. -Francis's POV- Where did she go? My eyes darted around, hoping to catch sight of _____'s l
BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Ludwig's Ending Nope. Nope. Abort. Abscond. Francis was attempting to get you to dance, and being the klutz you were, you absolutely refused. "N-no! I don't wanna!" A small blush spread across your face as you broke away and dashed back upstairs. Before you could reach the attic, someone collided into you at full speed, knocking you to the ground with whoever it was on top. It was Ludwig, Gilbert's younger brother, except he was German, taller, and much more serious than his older brother. Occasionally, he would chat with you when your other friends were being too rowdy, so you knew him well enough. Your face turned tomato red from the proximity of his crystal blue eyes, and his did the same. -Ludwig's POV- _____'s blushing face was even more beautiful up close, and it scrambled my mind as I tried to find something to say. What was I about to do again? Oh, right, I was going to yell at my bruder for throwing a party on a school night. "Uh…" I quickly got up and helped he
BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Feliciano's Ending *Things said in Italian will have "' instead of ". There is some starred-out swearing because of Romano/Lovino * You sat on a sofa, bored in spite of the party around you. This was why you didn't like to party: the BTT always dragged you there, and then left you alone while they went around flirting."Ve~ Ciao, bella!!" Feliciano randomly appeared and glomped you. You let out a small squeak of surprise before realizing who it was and smiling slightly. "Meep- Oh. Hey, Feli." Seeing the bubbly Italian always managed to bring a smile to your face. He was basically an adorable ball of energy that loved pasta. Seriously, he was ADORABLE. Everything about him, from his amber eyes to his short, auburn hair, was cute. "What is a bella ragazza like you doing alone?" He frowned slightly when he noticed you were sitting on the sofa by yourself. You sighed and pouted before responding. "The BTT ditched me to hit on pretty girl
Punishment IntroGermany x Reader A mischievous grin made its way across your face as you met Prussia's ruby gaze. He 'kesesese'ed before returning the grin. This whole thing was your idea, and he was the first person you could think of to help. You scanned the world conference room for others who were in on this little 'operation'.Denmark, America, and apparently Turkey were just doing what they usually did during the conferences. Spain and France were, of course, stifling their chuckles and sitting with Prussia. Canada was… wait, where was he? Oh, right! He was waiting for 'the signal' to mess with the lights. Any moment now, the oblivious Germany would silence everyone like he always did. You giggled and stared at him expectantly, accidentally attracting his attention. He looked at you with his crystal blue eyes before blushing slightly and looking away. You felt your own face heat up a little, but shrugged it off. BAM! Germany slammed his fist on
Russia x Reader x Prussia(Requested by tenaciousNixie) "Sunflower? _____?" A childish voice interrupted your peaceful sleep. You opened your eyes to find a pair of violet eyes peering at you through the darkness. Wait, how did Russia get into your house? Oh well, it wasn't the first time that he randomly decided to visit. The two of you had been friends even before you found out that you were a country, after all. "Hmm…?" You mumbled sleepily, attempted to sit upright, and failed. "Oof~ May I help you?" "I-I was wondering who you liked." He broke into your house at *glances at clock* 2 in the morning to ask a question? Your thoughts immediately wandered to a certain albino, but you decided against revealing the secret. "Nobody in particular…" Heat rushed to your cheeks, and you hoped that Russia wouldn't notice. "That was a lie." He moved closer with a piercing gaze that seemed
Stay(Russia x reader) "_____, wake up! It's time to escape!" The frantic, nervous whispers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia interrupted your troubled sleep. You sat up immediately, and saw that Ukraine and Belarus were bundled up and ready to go, too. It was almost midnight, a bit earlier than you had planned. Russia was, hopefully, sound asleep. Honestly, you didn't really want to leave the Soviet Union, but the others had convinced you to go along with their plans. -Little Time Skip brought to you by Vodka!!!- You volunteered to be the last to go, partially because you wanted to stay a little longer. Belarus and the Baltic States had already scattered into the darkness, leaving only you and Ukraine near the edge of the woods.Wind whipped around your (h/c) hair as you turned back to glance at Russia's mansion. Strange emotions gnawed at your mind, telling you to go back and stay, to be able to see his honey-blonde hair and violet eyes again. Finally, you
BTT x Reader - Untouchable (Intro)You were it, the last girl. The only girl the BTT (Bad Touch Trio) had not been able to seduce and they hated it. The way it seemed that no guy was good enough for you, that everyone was your friend, and no one hated you. They hated it, but loved it at the same time. They had slowly fallen in love with you but you would not fall for their tricks. It was senior year and this year, it seemed all the guys were trying to get you to finally go out with one of them. When they were not confessing their love, you were finding love letters in your locker. Sure, you would think that having all the guys swoon over you would be the greatest thing ever but after a while, it kind of gets annoying. The worst part is, you agreed that if the guy you really liked asked you to prom you would say yes to him. You sighed as the sixth person today asked you to the dance and you declined. You carelessly threw your books into your locker and suddenly heard footsteps getting closer. You shut the l
BTT X ReaderIt was late Friday night. The street lights outside your house gave off a dim glow as you waited just outside your door dressed in a black, v neck Apple Bottoms t-shirt and black skinny jeans. You held your small, black purse in your hands, containing your wallet, keys, and a few other things. Tonight, you were going to see a movie with your best friends Antonio, Gilbert, and Francis. Aka, the Bad Touch Trio. Together, you were going to see the movie Paranormal Activity 2.A few minutes later, you saw a black Mustang with blue neon lights glowing underneath it. The driver side window slowly rolled down to show Francis with a smile spread across his face."Bonjour mon amour! Are you coming?" Francis asked with a smile.You happily nodded your head and skipped around the car to the back seat. You pulled open the door and jumped in the back seat with Gilbert."Sup Gilbert!" You casually greeted him."Ah, nothin' much." He answered, leaning back with a
BTT x Reader - Untouchable (Antonio's Ending)"I like Antonio," you mumbled out, barely loud enough for the boys to hear but they heard all right."Really chica?" Antonio said, blinding a few times as if he believed he was dreaming or heard you wrong but you simply nodded yes looking down slightly. "That means you're going to the prom with me si?""Sure," you muttered, shuffling your feet out of embarrassment, knowing the other two boys were most likely staring at you baffled. You heard movement and that was soon hushed when you then looked up and noticed Gilbert and Francis had walked off and left you and Antonio in the hallway, alone."Muy bueno chica," he said, giving your cheek a quick peck before tugging on your arm for you to follow. ~~Le Timeskip of Time~~ (Le Whoosh) He pulled you along until you arrived at what you believed to be his locker. He told you to wait as he unlocked the locker and dug through it. Soon, he pulled out a small box
Hetalia x Reader: Date A Nation This was the year that all the nations of the world had finally decided to agree on something. You were amazed at how all of the countries were finally working together to improve the planet. Every nation had agreed to start raising money for a disaster relief fund. Since some countries were much poorer, there had been the discussion of how to raise all this money. With careful thinking, the idea to start a fundraiser had been decided upon. The best way to earn tons of money, however, was hard to think of. Every nation chimed in ideas, but many were terrible..***** "Who has an idea of what we should do to raise money?" Germany asked, already deciding that he would once again run the meeting. "We should hold a bake sale." England proclaimed immediately. "NO!" Shouted almost everyone in the room. "Why does everyone dislike that idea?" You asked America
BTT x Shy!Neko!Reader RequestYou mewed softly in your sleep as your mind wondered to pleasant dreams when you had a place to go, a place to call home.It all happened so fast, what changed you that was. You were visiting with your friend Arthur while he messed with spells that never ended up working and even if they did they only lasted a day or two. He started to get mad and you tried to cal him down but it did not work. He shouted out words you could not understand and you felt suddenly sick and fell to the ground. You looked up at your British friend, who was now muttering apologies, as his face contained a mixture of shock and horror. You turned to a mirror and your _(e/c)_ eyes widened in horror as you saw _(h/c)_ ears and matching tail now attached to you.That was three years ago and the spell did not seem to be coming off any time soon. The worst part was that your boyfriend at the time was disgusted by your state and kicked you out. You did not dare tell your family for fear of what they would think.You
The Bet Intro AmericaxReaderJust a normal girl, things were fine, but yet people still picked on her why because she was different. Not that she acted different people just thought she was different, no big deal she didn't really mind it. Though she was terribly shy and really modest, she thought she wasn't pretty when she was
.well she wasn't the most beautiful girl she was still quite the looker.High School, were souls and dreams are taken, self-esteem is out at an all-time low and people were bullied, but hey everyone goes through it. (Name) she didn't get the kind of physical bullying, nor when people called her names she got one of the worst when people talked about her behind her back she knew what they said she heard it all the time but she brushed it off, it still hurt a little, words always do.She had a few friends and two best friends Kiku Honda and Mathew Williams they talked to her and cared for and stood up for her like no one else would, they would do anything to make sure she was safe.>>>>>>>>>
BTT x Reader - Unreachable?FranceHe met her in a small cozy bar. He – for once – was not looking for a one-night fling or a hot woman that time, he just wanted to have some self-time and peace. Just a bit of wine and the quiet murmur of other people. He always came to this bar for that, never once picking up a woman there, only drinking a few glasses of wine and then leaving.As he sat down on a bar stool and the barkeeper gave him his usual order, Francis looked around, not really interested in others, only doing a bit of watching. The door opened and he noticed that it begun to rain a bit, the young woman entering shook her damp (h/c) locks before she raised her head and Francis nearly gasped at her beautiful facial features and her sparkling (e/c) eyes. She sat down next to him and her smell invaded his nose, making him dizzy and wanting. After ordering, she smiled as she noticed his look on her."Ah, did I wet your clothes? I'm sorry!" she laughed lightly and Francis was bewit
BTT x Reader - Untouchable (Gilbert Ending)"I like Gilbert," you said, not looking at the boys as you spoke. "Get Get Get!" you heard him yell and suddenly the other two ran off not wanting to make Gilbert mad. You looked up to see the albino closer and smiling. "Um, Gilbert?" you said feeling small with the taller man standing in front of you. He suddenly pulled you into a tight hug, cutting off your breath. "I… Can't… Breath…" you tried while gasping for air. He laughed but released you none-the-less, still smiling. Once you caught your breath you were about to ask what that was for but before you could say anything, his lips were on yours. "Frau, you taste gut," he said seductively, breaking the kiss. "Pervert," you replied to him, but blushed anyways. "Ja, but you're in love this pervert frau," he said with a smirk on his face. "Never said anything about
BTT x Reader - Untouchable (Romano's Ending)Author's Note: Romano won the voting!"I like Lovino," you told the boys. You looked up to them and saw them staring at each other as if they were speaking through their thoughts, and then they smiled. You got wide eyes, you knew them smiling was not a good thing, and started to back away as they looked back to you. "W-What a-are y-you planning?" You squeaked as one of them suddenly stepped forward and picked you up, throwing you over their shoulder and started walking. "P-Put me down!" You shouted, struggling to get out of their grip."Nien frau," Gilbert said as they continued to walk. You tried to break the grip by thrashing around but it didn't work. ~~Le Timeskip of Time~~ (Le Whoosh)After about 5 minutes of walking they finally stopped and you could hear a door being opened. You took this chance to try and struggle more but it still didn't work. Suddenly you were set down and pushed into a tiny room, the janitor's closet. "Now stay
BTT x Reader Valentine's Day Intro It was Valentine's Day, but frankly, you didn't care. You were 15, but you had never fallen in love before. Why would you risk being hurt by love when you were content with having awesome friends? Ever since you were little, you had known Francis the French pervert, Antonio the Spaniard,and of course, the awesome Prussian Gilbert. They called themselves the Bad Touch Trio. Somehow, they managed to drag you to Gilbert's house for a party, but you felt like being antisocial and hid yourself in the attic to do homework. You barely knew most of the people there. Some people stepped into the attic, but you hardly noticed since you were absorbed in calculus. "Hon hon, what 'ave we 'ere?" A Familiar French accent caused you to flinch clumsily and end up lying on the floor. "Kesese, zhe awesome Gilbert has found _____!" Gilbert laughed and offered you a hand which you gratefully took. You put on a fake pout. "I was just trying to do homework, and you know I can't party!" Antonio grinned

2 Pastor Arceneaux/ Faith Apostolic Church/ Holden, La. 7074 - Ministry Videos

.My name is Brandy Williams and I'm from Baton Rouge, LA. I came to church doubting that God still heals. Actually, I believed that He healed not because you asked Him to, but because that was His plan. But I sat in church on that bench and I didn't want to go forward. As much as I wanted God to heal my mind and heal my pain, I felt that if it wasn't my time for Him to do it, it didn't matter how much I wanted it. I got up anyway and I stood there and before Bro. Ashcraft layed hands on me I knew exactly what he was going to say. I knew that he was going to talk about my guilt and pain from my past. That guilt and pain was from when I was in Iraq. My heart felt like it was on fire before he even touched me. When I was in Iraq I saw some horrible, horrible thngs and I did some horrible things after I got back because of the awful guilt that I carried. But God touched me when the minister prayed for me and I really felt that guilt being lifted away. I feel so much better!!! I thank God for healing and delivering me with all of my heart!!!
Pastor Arceneaux/ Faith Apostolic Church/ Holden, La. 70744 would love for you to come and be in service with them. God bless all!

Oliver Taplin (Oxford): Slices from the Banquet or Rival Taverna? Early Tragedy's Response to Homer
Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 5:15pm
Building 110, Rm. 112
Join us at 5:00pm for light refreshments.
The early development of Tragedy has generally been viewed as gradual and as branching out from the stock of Homer. This talk will challenge that account, especially by emphasizing the revolutionary significance of enactment, and its differentiation from epic narrative. The misemphasis of the standard picture may be traced back to, above all, Aristotle's Poetics."
Oliver Taplin is Emeritus Professor of Classics at Oxford University. His work has focused on the performance of drama and poetry in both ancient and modern times. His first book was The Stagecraft of Aeschylus (1977), and the most recent is Pots and Plays (2007). University of Chicago Press published his translation of Euripides' Medea in 2013.

"An eye opener"
Up until a few tens of thousands years ago all humans lived in bands consisting of up to a few dussin people. Thus during almost our entire evolutionary past we lived in an environment very different from the one we live in today. To understand the evolutionary pressures that have shaped our behavior and our cognition we need to look at the way our ancestors lived. This is of course more or less impossible because written history did not appear until very recently. However, there are people alive today, who live in a manner we think is very similar to the way all humans used to live. This book is about these peoples. How do they live and think, what are the similarities and differences between us and them? What can we learn from the way they live?
This book shows that the life of our ancestors was not, as some people (especially Disney employees) like to think, all romantic and in harmony with nature etc. Personally I would never switch my life in a civilized western nation for a life in the jungles of New Guinea, and I think that any informed person would be inclined to make the same choice. The life expectancy is about half of what I have now. They are also much more likely to be murdered because crime rates in such societies is extremely high compared to any state nation. Also they have no Wi-Fi, and that would suck too.
In short, life was not better before, it is better now, much better. With that said, there are many lessons to learn from traditional societies and lifestyles. Jared Diamond in "The world until yesterday" goes through many aspects of life, including but not limited to health, crime, diet, child rearing and care for the elderly. Consistently, there are things that we do better in modern western societies and to his credit Diamond points this out. However, there are also lessons to be learned from people living in traditional societies.
The justice system is good example. Crimes in traditional societies are dealt with by the community. There are no absolute laws. For example, murder is sometimes seen as justified and therefore not punished. If someone accidentally causes the death of another person then it may be sufficient for the perpetrator to pay sorrow money to the victims family. Western societies on the other hand see crimes as committed against the community and a perpetrator cannot walk away even if the victim forgives him (yes it is usually "hims"). What lessons can we derive from this. It is probably the case that we can learn things from traditional societies about finding common ground between perpetrator and victim. Grudges are usually resolved one way or another. However, in traditional societies it is also much more common that people take justice into their own hands, which can and do have fatal outcomes.
In some areas the conclusion that progress have been made is inescapable. One perhaps unexpected example of this is wars. The first time I heard about the relative casualty rates in traditional and modern "total" wars I was rather surprised. I had always thought that the second world war was the worst war in the history of mankind, however, if one compares the casualty rate in the second world war with the casualties in wars between traditional tribes it is actually much higher in the latter. In some traditional wars the casualty rate reaches one percent of the population annually whereas Germany and Russia (the two worst hit nations) saw casualty rates of about 0.16 percent annually during the second world war. In other words, you would be much more likely to die in a "traditional war" than in WW2… One factor here is also the fact that whereas children in western societies are taught that killing is wrong and often feel bad after having killed another person (even in wars), children in traditional societies are sometimes taught to feel pride upon killing an enemy. Taking into account wars as well as violence that occurs between wars, it is crystal clear that we are much better off in our modern world. As Jeff Niehaus, who was teaching developmental psychology at UCSB once said, downtown Chicago is actually really peaceful if you compare it to traditional societies.
I guess that it is clear to the reader that I feel quite fortunate that I live in a modern society and not in the jungles of New Guinea. In a few respects however the sometimes cannibalistic tribes outperform us. One obvious example is language. An average New Guinean knows five languages, which is rather impressive. I personally know only three and I think that is probably better than the average person in modern societies. Diamond argues that we should try and preserve languages which are otherwise bound to go extinct. I was not entirely convinced by his arguments. I accept that bilingualism is associated with performance on other types of tasks, delayed dementia etc, however, I also think that it would be desirable if communication between different peoples of the world was easier. Maybe there is a compromise between extinction of all languages except english (or chinese), and the ability of people to talk to each other (I'll have to return to that topic).
In one of the last chapters Jared Diamond compares the health of people in modern and traditional societies, with mixed conclusions. Once again it is absolutely clear that we live longer in western societies. This ought to be problematic to explain for those who like to claim that a "natural" lifestyle is preferable and more healthy in general. Even though we are using more and more "chemicals" (everythings is chemicals really), we also live longer and longer. If chemicals kill us, then why do we live longer? In some respects our modern lifestyle is not so good however. We do consume too much salt and sugar. Diabetes is pretty much unheard of in some traditional societies, and high blood pressure (which occur if we eat too much salt), is also extremely uncommon. So one lesson we can learn is to eat less sugar and salt.
There are many more interesting topics in this book. One that I found particularly interesting was child rearing practices where people in traditional societies spend much more time which their kids and have much more skin to skin contact, an approach I personally do believe in to a certain extent. I also liked the discussion about treatment of the elderly which ranges from leaving them to die when they go dement (this was the practice of Swedish natives), or killing them when they are no longer of any use, to chewing their food for them when they have no teeth (yuk).
Overall I liked this book. It was 20 hours well spent although I think Diamond could have excluded certain parts that were personal and not so interesting if you are not extremely interested in Diamonds personal life. However, I did learn a lot that I did not know before and it gave me some new perspectives and it even made me want to change a few things in my own life. Above all however, the book reminded me of the privileged life I live. I live in peace. I have a family that I love (and I am under the impression that they like me too). I have a stimulating job that I like, and I am able to explore the world in a way that would be completely unimaginable to 99.99% of all humans that have existed on this planet. I really did win the lottery in the most important sense. Lucky me =)
"Short, concise, straight to the point, hard hittin"
Letter to a Christian nation, as the title suggests, is written as a letter to a Christian nation i.e. the United States. The reader should not expect to find any original critique. What makes this book special is Sam Harris ability to deliver arguments in an extremely forceful and clear way.
He begins the book with some important premises which many religious people simply do not think about or have repressed. For instance, either God exists or he doesn't. If the Christian God exists (as he is described in the bible) then the Muslims are wrong and the other way around. Indeed if the Christians and the bible is correct then all Muslims (and Hindu, Buddhists, pagans etc) will go to hell.
If you believe that the bible is the word of God then you must believe the above and you must also advocate the stoning of people who work on Sundays etc. Ok, you say, but we shouldn't take it literally, fine, but then how do we interpret it, and how do we know which interpretation is the right one? Also if a divine being wrote the Bible is it too much to expect him to reveal a few secrets about the universe, like how to cure cancer or how electricity work or whatever. It seems that whoever wrote the bible did not know more than the average person at the time the bible was written. It would also have been nice if God or Jesus had said that slavery was wrong instead of letting us reach that interpretation two millennia (and many many slaves) later.
This was just one example out of a dozen or so arguments that Harris brings up suggesting that God does not exist or that if he does he is not a very nice creature. Because it is short, clear and very accessible this ranks among the best books I have read in this category. Highly recommended.
I was, I must admit, relieved when I came to the end of this rather long book. Hillary Clinton is a powerful politician and she is in many ways a role model, given her accomplishments and given that she is a woman in a world where female politicians are rarely taken seriously. Still, it was noticeable that this book was written by a diplomat, a diplomat who is still an active politician and who may try to become president in the next election (she said she did not know whether she would run).
A central tenet she tries to bring forth is that nations should be able to cooperate on some issues even if they disagree on other issues. Of course to suggest otherwise would be radical. Image that the US cut all ties with China because they do not like their handling of human rights issues. Still, as a reader you want something a bit more juicy (or is it just me). I don't want to hear that they are slightly about Russia and that they wish communication will improve in the future. I also could not tell you what Hillary really thinks about the conflict in Gaza, even though she spends many pages on this conflict. She certainly thinks it is a bad idea that Israel launches military offensives into Gaza, but at the same time she thinks that every nation have a right to defend themselves when attacked… What would Hillary do about this conflict if she became president? This book will not provide you with an answer (except that she wants a two-state solution).
What I want from an ex-secretary of state is details about "personal" communications with foreign leaders, and stronger stances on issues. Indeed there is such content in this book, just not enough considering that the book is more than 600 pages long. Still, what did I expect from an active politician who will not want to burn any bridges in case she becomes president?
"Entertaining but confined account of pleasure"
This book is about pleasure, but equally it is about essentialism. I would even argue that this book is more about essentialism than pleasure (guess the title would not have been as catchy). Essentialism refers to our tendency to look beyond appearances and try and see the essence of things. Is that really the cigar that Freud smoked or is it just an "ordinary" cigar? (It really makes a big difference to us). The central tenet of this book is that we derive pleasure from our beliefs about the essence of things. While this is no doubt true I think it confines the book that pleasure is discussed only within this framework. For instance, I cannot see how essentialism can explain why we feel pleasure when taking cocaine (I think).
To introduce the concept of essentialism, and in extension, pleasure, Paul Bloom sets out with one of the most hilarious anecdotes I've heard. Hermann Göring, the commander of Nazi Germany's air force was not a particularly kind man. One of his better known quotes was "My measures will not be crippled by any bureaucracy. Here I don't have to worry about Justice; my mission is only to destroy and to exterminate; nothing more". However, apart from destroying and exterminating things Göring was also a passionate arts collector and at one point he bought an expensive Vermeer painting from a dutch painter called Van Megren. After the war Van Megren was accused of selling art to Nazis, but to everyone's surprise Van Megren showed that the painting was a fake (by drawing another copy). How did Göring react to these news? According to one contemporary account "[Göring] looked as if for the first time he had discovered there was evil in the world.
What is the point of this story? The point is that though it really should not matter to anyone whether a painting is fake if one cannot tell that it is fake, it does. It matter to us a great deal. How we experience something depends on our beliefs. This holds true not only of art but also of music, water, food, wine, t-shirts etc. fMRI scans show that the brain activity of people when they are eating a certain item, differs depending on what they believe they are eating. This suggest that our beliefs about something really do influence our experience at a basic perceptual level. Our brains can process the same sensory input in different ways depending on beliefs. Indeed when tested in a blind test people are unable to distinguish pate from dog food and white wine from red wine.
Paul Bloom goes through many different areas in life from where we drive pleasure. These subjects include but are not limited to sex, alcohol, cannibalism, imagination, watching TV, reading etc. Bloom is a master when it comes to finding illustrative and entertaining examples and anecdotes to drive home his point which consistently seem to be that we get pleasure from what we believe is the essence of things.
As I have already mentioned I would have liked a broader discussion of pleasure. I would also have liked a longer discussion about the concept of pleasure and how it is different from say happiness. This should have been no problem for Bloom because he gives excellent lectures on the topic of happiness at Yale. As I have already hinted at I would also have liked a deeper discussion about the more philosophical aspects surrounding pleasure. Too often Bloom gets lost in admittedly entertaining anecdotes and then forgets to sum up the lessons that can be learned from these anecdotes.
However, overall "How pleasure works" is a good book that is almost certain to give the reader food for thought as well as a good laugh. Bloom is an entertaining writer and speaker (I do recommend his lectures which can be found on Yale's homepage), and even though I have a BSc in Psychology I learned many things and I got a thorough introduction to essentialism.
"Forgettable book, even though I agree with everyth"
This book begins with a collection of 100 reasons why religion, generally speaking, stinks. Almost all reasons given fall into one of the three following categories: 1) Religious people behaving badly (ex systematic child molesting) 2) Religious people receiving special treatment (ex people excused because they've dice something for religious reasons and 3) non religious people being discriminated against (ex can't get elected president). These 100 reasons are presented in a rather haphazard unstructured way. Moreover, because 100 reasons are presented in a short amount of space, don't expect any depth of analysis. Most reasons are just 1-4 sentences. To take a few examples:
Atheists are angry because…
- 53 percent of Americans don't want an atheist president
- Because the catholic church protected child rapists from being prosecuted
- 9/11
- 40% of Utah homeless people are outcast gays
- That polite atheists are deemed intolerant
- Writing about your atheist opinion can [in some countries] result in death
To be fair to G.Christina, she does acknowledge that her list is unstructured and that there is a lot more to all of the arguments. The list I suppose could be seen more as a starting point for further discussions. It also provides many reminders for atheist readers such as myself about all the things that are wrong with religion.
Beyond the list, the book provides answers to some frequently asked questions that are typically directed at atheists, such as "isn't atheism just another religion?", or "why do you not make a clear distinction between moderate religious practitioners and fundamentalists?". As such this book can provide interested readers with a somewhat shallow overview explaining why atheists don't like religion. However, compared to The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (which is probably trumped by other books), this is an inferior book in almost every respect. The God Delusion does everything that this book does, only better, and it is also more well written. The one advantage that this book have is that it is shorter. So, if you have a tight schedule this book might be an alternative. However, even in the short introduction to atheism category, a better alternative is Sam Harris book, letter to a christian nation which drives home the same points in a more powerful and coherent way.
"Decent, but too long"
This book describes what happened in western Mexico (later the United States) between approximately 1845 and 1865. The United States sought to expand their territory so that it would stretch from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean, but Mexico stood in the way. In the resulting conflict Kit Carson, the protagonist in this book, rose to prominence.
The title and the setting made me think that this book would be full of exhilarating action. Sure enough there was some action but there was a lot of drawn out stories in between, some of which were superfluous. While Kit Carson is the protagonist the reader will also learn about Narbona, the famous leader of the Navajo, general Kearny who lead the american army against the mexicans, as well as a number of other surrounding characters. The fact that the book is temporally organized means that the books jumps around a lot between the different characters.
Still despite the hap-hazard feel sometimes associated with this book, there are also some buried gold-grains. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of California. It is an astonishing fact that only a 150 years ago it was a sparsely inhabited and dangerous desert. I was also fascinated by the description of the Indians and how they thought and felt when they encountered the modern american military.
For the reader that seeks an in depth description of the main characters in the Mexican war, including their pre war biographies, this book is a good option. For me, it was too long.
"Learn the basic facts about basic astronomy"
Having taken a university course in astronomy and astrophysics I did not expect to learn much from this book. Instead I thought that this would be a good rehearsal of the things I had learned previously. I was therefore surprised, in a good way, that this book taught me many things that I did not know. Even though it only deal with relatively basic concepts in astronomy (the book can really be read by everyone), it goes into a lot of detail and Phil Plait really tries to help the reader grasp the basic concepts.
For instance while I know that there are tides and that they have something to do with the moon, I did not know that there are two tides per day, and why it is so. I also knew that seasons are linked to the angle with which sunlight hits a particular part of earth, but the full story is, as you will learn if you read this book, more complex than that.
As Phil Plait writes in this book, many people seem to know things that aren't true, and astronomy is no exception to this. Journalists and movie directors should take some blame for this given that they promote astrology ahead of astronomy and given that movies all too frequently get the science all wrong. The reader of this book will enhance their bullshit detector when it comes to sci-fi movies, and who doesn't love the person who points out all the errors in a movie :). Just to take one example, space ships cannot make sounds in space because there is no molecules that sound can propagate through...
This book is for people who know nothing about astronomy and for those who think they know everything about astronomy.
"Confidence booster for introverts their parents"
I thought long about whether I should give this book 4 or 5 stars because there were certain aspect of the book that I did not like. Some central assertions were based almost entirely on anecdotes. I realize that it is a powerful way to drive home your message, but it can also be disingenuous - appealing to people's emotion. I was also not very pleased with Cain's description of the neuroscience. She made it seem as though the almond sized amygdala was all there was in the brain and that whether or not this part of the brain lit up under certain circumstances was all important. Yes, yes, I am a cerebellar scientist and am therefore probably overreacting here, but I would have preferred that the neuroscience was left out instead of receiving this very biased account.
Ok, enough of the bad stuff. I did after all give this book 5 stars (which is rare for me). The reason for this is that this book is one of few books I have read in my life that really made me see things, especially myself, in a new light. While I consider myself to be a rather social person who gets along with others I also have many introvert traits. During my time at University I really did not like the weekends because I felt that I had to go out and drink and dance not to be considered strange. I have also always been a little bit ashamed that I can be a "coward". At least that is how I would have described it to myself before reading this book. Now I prefer to use the terms cautious. I am also a highly adaptable person and I can to some extent transform my behavior based on the circumstances. Again, before reading this book I saw this as being a disingenuous person. After all, you should be who you are and stand up for your ideals no matter what the circumstances, right? While I used to think this I do not anymore. It would be absolutely terrible if everyone spoke their mind all the time. The world needs people who can work in different circumstances, people like me. I guess what I am trying to say in this paragraph is that before I read this book I had consciously and unconsciously bought the extrovert ideal that is so prevalent in our society. I had seen all my introvert traits as weaknesses that I had to combat and conceal. This book made me see that these traits can work to my advantage and it helped me find the proper middle ground where I can better assess my own personality, my strengths and my weaknesses. If you are also an introvert or have introvert kids I really really think you should read this book!
Overall the book is well structures, easy to read and of a good length. Cain starts out by describing the extrovert ideal. To drive this message home (though I think it is a fairly obvious point) she describes a day at a Tony Robbins event where everyone is dancing, speaking with deep confident voices, doing high fives and walking on coal etc. Cain, who is an introvert feels awkward under these circumstances (as would I), and she is not ashamed of it. She states what should be obvious but strangely isn't, that the world needs people with different qualities. Indeed, under certain circumstances it is better to be more quiet and less assertive. According to studies Cain describes bosses with highly skilled employees are better of if they are introverts, probably because being more quiet allows them to better harvest the qualities and ideas of the employees. Cain also talks about the power of working alone. As one illustrative example, take brainstorming which is normally done in small groups. Actually studies show that you get a better brainstorm if people are allowed to come up with ideas on their own which are later pooled. In certain situations, a group of people can be a constraint rather than a benefit. She also brings up several examples which have been founded by introverts such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google. Though these are huge companies it is hard to tell whether these examples are representative of the overall picture. Nevertheless, there can be little doubt that qualities such as cautiousness, empathy and conscientiousness can be very good qualities to have in some companies. Cain suggests that in some cases introverts can even hold aggressive stances in negotiations because they are less likely to antagonize the other part the way an extrovert outspoken person might.
In the remainder of the book Cain writes about the nature nurture debate (it bothered me that she seems to presume that free will exists, but I forgive her), and about different examples where temperament mattered (ex Wall street crash). The last three chapters serve as a type of guide to introverts and to parents of introverts. What types of conflicts tend to happen between introverts and extroverts and how should these be solved? What strategies can introverts use to avoid falling off the earth altogether? To what extent do you push your introvert child to do extrovert things such as hold presentations? Cain suggest sensible answers to all of these questions and I think that many people would benefit from reading this, and they are genuinely encouraging to introverts and parents of introvert children. I found it encouraging for instance that introvert children are influenced by their parents more than extrovert children. Thus introvert children will benefit more from good parenting than extrovert children (which is nice to know if you are indeed a good parent).
"A few grains of gold in an ordinary biography"
Richard Dawkins is an amazing scientist. I have always thought so and this first part in his autobiography trilogy do reinforce my favorable view on Dawkins. His greatness, in my opinion, primarily lies in his unequaled ability to convey science to the general public using a language which should make him eligible for the Nobel prize in literature (seriously!). His book, the selfish gene is probably the book that have meant the most to me personally, all categories, and reading excerpts from it in this book made me remember what a great book it was, and still is. In fact, reading "An appetite for wonder", made me decide to re-read Dawkins original best-seller (which I am now doing).
Yes, Dawkins is a fantastic writer and scientist, but this book, on the whole, did not live up to my admittedly high expectations. Perhaps others will disagree with me but I am not personally very interested in great people's childhood, unless it is truly extraordinary. Yes Dawkins grew up in Africa and that was probably interesting, however, I would personally have preferred if this section was significantly shorter or left out.
The book gets more interesting when Richard gets into Balliol college, Oxford. As a University teacher one of my favorite sections of the book was Dawkins description of the education system in Oxford. Their system in which students each week study a new topic by reading up on the scientific literature and try to form hypotheses, and then discuss what they have learnt with tutors who are also leading scientists made me, well… jealous. He claims that students at oxford never asked the question, "will this be on the exam?", which is a question I get all too frequently…
Following his description of the education system in Oxford a semi-interesting description of his early years in academia follows. The book, in my opinion reaches its climax towards the end when Dawkins discusses and reads excerpts from the Selfish Gene. I realize it may sound nerdy but just hearing a few lines from that book can increase my pulse significantly, and it was interesting to get to understand how the book came about. I was also pleased to find out that, like myself, the great writer Richard Dawkins does not write his book in one go. Rather, every sentence that he writes have been written and re-written many times. Like the natural selection of biological organisms, this way of writing should lead to evolution of better sentences and in the end a better book. This is certainly the case with the Selfish Gene.
"Neglected and surprising story"
'Genghis Khan is generally considered to be one of the most blood thirsty conquerors to ever have lived. According to many sources, including The better angels of our nature by Steven Pinker, the Mongol wars resulted in about 40 million deaths which, if accurate, would make it the bloodiest conflict in history, per capita. Yet the author of this books points out that if this statistic is accurate, each member of the relatively small mongol army would have had to kill 100 persons each (on average), which seems unlikely. Rather, the author argues, the reputation that the mongols have received is in large part a testimony of historians biased against the mongols. Make no mistake, the Mongols were formidable and sometimes ruthless conquerors, however they were also in many ways efficient and sometimes fair rulers.
Take for example the fact that the Genghis and the mongol tribes, unlike so many other armies, were kind to those who surrendered to them without a fight. They usually offered everyone the chance to leave their army and join theirs instead. This was almost certainly a contributing factor to their success. I was also genuinely surprised by the claim that Genghis Khan was the first leader to announce that he as a ruler did not stand above the constitution that he put in place. It is not made clear whether this was actually fulfilled but just the announcement is pretty radical at the time.
Although Genghis Khan is indeed the protagonist, this book span a much wider piece of history. In the first part of the book we get to follow the fate of young Temujin, which was Genghis birth name. Unfortunately, one must doubt the honesty of the documents that this part of the story relies on. Information about Temujin's childhood is mainly obtained from a book known as the secret history which did not appear to have the ambition to be historically accurate. It is as much a history book as it is a work of propaganda. In any case no one seems to dispute that after years of conflict with other mongol leaders Temujin became the leader of all the mongol tribes. Having attained this power, Temujin, now Genghis, stopped kidnappings and wars within Mongolia. This was of course bad news for the rest of the continent because when the mongols were no longer fighting each other but rather looked at their neighbours...
In the second part of the book we get to follow Genghis campaigns into what is now northern China, and into the muslim empire. He was of course a master general, and even though he was often outnumbered he prevailed in battle after battle. One of his strengths was that he did not abide by any type of honor system. To break a siege he occasionally pretended to withdraw his forces, leaving valuable goods outside the wall of the previously besieged city. When the enemy forces opened their gates to collect the bounty, he came in with a surprise attack together with his swift horsemen.
Because I always imagined Genghis to be a genocidal maniac I was also surprised when the book stated that towards the end of his life Genghis admitted that he had not been as succesfull in peace as in war. He told his sons that a leader could only be happy if their people was happy. His sons however would not listen because they were obsessed with the approaching power struggle.
In the remainder of the book we get to follow how Genghis sons and grandson make new war campaigns invading a huge landmass spanning all the way into western Europe (where the Jews were blamed for their invasion). In the end however, the Mongols returned from these campaigns with very little.
One thing I liked with this book was that after having described the story of Genghis and his successors the author explains how the Mongols got their reputation which is still with us today. Influential people, such as Voltaire, created Mongol stereotypes that were not particularly flattering.
All in all I think that this is a good book if you are interested in getting an overview of the Mongol empire and what it meant to the world at the time as well as today. Be prepared to learn that Genghis was a human being (not a monster), and as a human being he had flaws as well as good traits. I think that after having read this book I no longer bundle him with ruthless dictators such as Hitler or Stalin. Perhaps the Mongols were more like the Romans, but with poorer technology….
"Standard world war 2 account plus personal corresp"
There are many alternatives if you are looking for books about WW2. I recently read the not so creatively named "second world war" by Anthony Beevor, a thousand page book that gives the reader a comprehensive account of the entire war.
All hell breaks loose is in many ways similar to Beevors book, however, it did not seem to put as much emphasis on covering all aspects of the war. Instead this book frequently quoted personal correspondence from people who were involved in the war. Indeed I think that this is the primary reason why someone should choose rather than some other book.
You often read or hear about wars and the number of fatalities and how many starved etc etc, however, it is very hard to take the perspective of the individuals involved. The letters and diaries in this book takes you one step closer. Upon reading such material you can easily feel a bit ill (unless you are a complete psychopath), but at least for me the stronger feeling is one of gratitude that you have not been caught up in a war...
Reviewing my notes on this book I realized that it also contained quite a bit of information that was new to me, things that I had not considered important before. For example, the author convincingly argues that had Germany not attacked England with their airforce, England would not have been able to maintain the moral of their army and the political climate would probably have swayed towards peace with Hitler.
Another slightly comical story relates to Italy's inability to do, well, anything at all. As a part of a propaganda stunt meant to demonstrate the superiority of the Italians, a boxing fight was arranged between a famous boxer and an African man woo had never boxed before. Much to Mussolini dismay, the African man knocked the professional Italian boxer unconscious...
All in all, this book is kind of average if you are looking to get an overview of the war, however if you want to understand better what it was like for the soldiers and civilians who were actually involved in the war, this book is a sound choice. It is not that optimistic to suggest that there will be no conflict as destructive as WW2 again.

Ending Immigration Cruelty
America's half-baked immigration system is riddled with unfair, arbitrary and inhumane provisions, but few are so senseless and cruel as those covering the undocumented immigrant spouses and children of U.S. citizens. Now the Obama administration is proposing a prudent rule change that would prevent thousands of pointless family separations and prompt untold numbers of illegal immigrants to seek legal status through lawful channels.

Queen Latifah Reflects On Vegan Breakfast In "Put On Your Crown"
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 5th, 2010 in Authors, Books, Food & Drink, Recipes.
Queen Latifah has authored a book about empowering girls and women, Put On Your Crown.
Good self esteem starts by eating healthy and the Queen begins chapter one of her book reflecting on a moment after she'd finished her yoga class and ate a vegan breakfast.
Yes, she even specified vegan.
Sure would have been nice if she gave more details.
Granola over soy milk?
Tofu scramble with vegetables?
If you're treating yourself like a queen, there are dozens of breakfasts you can consume that are free of milk and eggs and EatDrinkBetter has suggested 10 ways to start your day with a vegan meal, some traditional, some you may have never considered breakfast food.
Like banana boats.
"Split each banana length-wise and spread each half generously with peanut butter. Top with raisins, drizzle on the agave nectar, and dust with cinnamon."
Yum! Sounds like dessert for breakfast!

AURORA — If anyone had opened the door to James Holmes' booby-trapped apartment, they would have suffered serious injuries and likely lost their life.
Jim Yacone, FBI special agent in charge for Denver, said at a Saturday afternoon news conference that the explosives and IEDs in the apartment were as dangerous as feared. The threat is not over, he said, but is greatly reduced.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said that residents of the surrounding buildings near Holmes' apartment near 16th Avenue and Paris Street may be allowed home late Saturday.
Oates said that the booby-traps at the apartment were designed to kill whoever entered it and probably targeted law enforcement officers.

Sierra College Internship Program Awarded College of the Year
Share It.
Rocklin, CA--The Sierra College Internship Program was recently awarded the 2014 College of the Year from the California Internship and Work Experience Association (CIWEA).
The award reads: "In recognition of your leadership and commitment to providing students with an exemplary internship program that emphasizes long-term career development" Each year the CIWEA recognizes employers and colleges/universities which provide exemplary internship or work experience programs. CIWEA does this to highlight best practices and to encourage organizations to continue offering resources and opportunities for student success.
The program was lauded at the Association's annual conference held in Long Beach April 3-4, 2014.
Brook Oliver, Lead Counselor for the Internship Program was present to accept the award.
Brook acknowledged the stalwart support of the College's Administration, Board and Foundation as well as the program's faculty advisors and her own staff for the success of the program, along with the professional development opportunities offered through CIWEA and its members.
Sierra College offers an internship program that can be considered both comprehensive and innovative. The College promotes a student career action plan for students that includes career planning classes or workshops, an "exploration" level internship opportunity and then an advanced-level internship within a specific discipline. This progression helps students explore and thoughtfully chose a career direction, and then 'try it out' for a semester to ensure fit and capabilities. Students then develop a matching educational plan to help them accomplish the established career goal and finally, they gain industry-specific experiences for their resume before they exit the program or college. Brooke Oliver stated "The offering of a two-level internship progression as well as a comprehensive and aligned career development plan is, to our knowledge, unique among programs in the state. In a time of decreasing budgets and limited resources overall, we have become quite creative at finding new sources of money and assistance in order to both maintain and improve our program. We are concentrating specific efforts to expand students' access to opportunities. We have pursued and succeeded in obtaining money and support outside of our program's district budget in an effort to support, grow and develop despite budget constraints. Our model is based on forming partnerships and 'selling' the win-win-win concept of offering internships."
When funding and enrollment issues threatened to inhibit the program, the program was able to solicit support from the Sierra College Foundation and the President's Office, resulting in the program being the beneficiary of the College's 2013 annual fund-raiser, netting a contribution to the program in excess of $62,000, which is allowing the program to expand internship slots beyond its District budget.
Sierra College Internship Program has developed a self-funded, on-going PSA (Public Safety Assistant) program with two local city police departments, ensuring direct experience in police work as well as expanding security services on the campus. The program is funded through the College's parking enforcement fund and provides for up to 20 PSA's per semester to learn from and serve their community and college, again without affecting the Program's budget. The Program also access's a number of other federal and state grants that support work-based learning.
In terms of effective evaluation strategies for student progress and achievement, our program has implemented an extensive evaluation process that includes both soft and technical skill development, use of portfolio evaluations when appropriate and integration with discipline curriculum and program-level student learning outcomes. A focus on general workplace competencies is promoted through specific assignments and communication with the site mentor as well as a dedicated grade, equally weighted with technical skill development, which requires evaluation of the student on over 15 identified 21st Century Skills.
"Our internship program goes beyond simply offering work-based experience for our students. We emphasize a long-term career development plan that incorporates internships at two levels. We hold our students to high standards and expectations around soft skill attainment and performance. And, our extensive partnership model both on and off-campus brings attention to the importance of internships in a student's career and educational plan along with outside funding to support them. It connects our CTE programs more directly with their local industry partners, it builds and strengthens the College's connection to our local community and meets myriad needs for all involved and out of it all, our program earns the support and resources to expand and develop in innovative ways to continue to meet current and future needs of our students, faculty and local community."

How to Remember Names and Numbers
By Robin Westen
As I get older, it's tougher to remember names and numbers. I know my own; tell me your phone number or be introduced in a crowd with other strangers, and the information might fly right out of my head. But there's hope. Recently I learned strategies to help this kind of information stick. Here's what works for me:
To remember names:
CONCENTRATE: When someone is being introduced I tell myself to focus, and I won't allow other distractions like background conversations or music seep in.
LOOK CLOSELY: I note special facial markings or body characteristics unique to that person, like a beauty mark or curly hair. If there is no distinct characteristic than I associate the name to something that sounds like the name. For example, if her name is Mary, I visualize her crying and remember the word "teary."
REPEAT: After I've heard the name and picked out the special characteristic, I repeat it by saying something like "How are you, Mary?" or "It was nice meeting you, Mary."
ASK QUESTIONS: If the pronunciation is difficult, or there's more than one possibility for spelling, I ask for help.
WRITE IT DOWN: First chance I get, I write down the name on a piece of paper.

Long History, Uncertain Results for U.S. Counterterror Efforts in Mali, Sahel
BAMAKO, Mali -- Al-Qaida-linked Islamist groups took control of northern Mali earlier this year, prompting concerns that the vast desert expanse could become a jihadist safe haven. Since then, U.S. policymakers have openly entertained the possibility of kinetic operations, such as drone strikes in northern Mali, and pundits are asking if the landlocked West African nation now constitutes a new front in the war on terror.
Largely overlooked in this discussion, however, is the fact that United States has been heavily engaged in counterterrorism activities in this part of Africa for more than a decade -- an engagement that has long been the subject of external criticism and internal debate. ...
