Petzi Treat Cam Treats You And Your Petsby Lady Bee
For those of us that like to keep an eye on our pets when we're at work or out of town, pet cameras have been a godsend. The only problem is that you can't always get your pet to come around the camera so you can see her. Petzilla, a San Jose, California start-up, has created a superb solution to that problem - the Petzi Treat Cam. If a great treat can't get your dog or cat to the camera, nothing can. Your treat? You get to see her!

A New Wireless Communication Device: The Human Bodyby Julia Bobak
Already many of us have multiple electronic devices on our person and this will only increase in the coming years as the internet-of-things comes to fruition. Cell phones, smart watches, computerized eyewear, and health monitors will all need to communicate with one another to realize their full potential. Currently, Bluetooth is the standard means by which this is achieved, but it is highly energy-inefficient. Now scientists have demonstrated a new way for these devices to share information – by sending magnetic signals through the human body itself.

41st Republican National Convention | NATL - Government- The 2016 Republican National Convention will convene in Cleveland, Ohio on July 18-21, 2016. The RNC chose a 2016 convention date much earlier than in recent elections, allowing the Republican nominee to draw upon campaign cash designated to be spent only in the general election.
Ohio has been a battleground swing-state throughout United States campaigning history. The last candidate to win the presidential election without Ohio was Democrat John F. Kennedy in 1960. The last Republican presidential candidate to win the election without Ohio was Abraham Lincoln, 100 years earlier, in 1860. Cleveland last hosted the Republican National Convention in 1936.
The main 2016 Republican National Convention venue will be the Quicken Loans Arena. This main convention center is located in downtown Cleveland, and referred to locally as "The Q". The multipurpose arena seats 20,500, and includes 2,000 club seats and 88 luxury suites. It is home to three professional sports teams and hosts numerous entertainment events. Other supporting venues within walking distance of 2016 RNC main venue include the Cleveland Convention Center and the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel.
Other cities that were considered to host the 2016 Republican National Convention included Cincinnati, Columbus, Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas and Phoenix. Columbus and Phoenix were eliminated on April 2, 2014. Cincinnati and Las Vegas withdrew on May 22, 2014. On June 25, 2014, the Republican National Committee announced that the cities of Cleveland and Dallas would continue to the final round of consideration to host the 2016 Convention. The recommendation to select 'Cleveland 2016' was made following a final review by the Republicans' site selection committee on July 8, 2014.

If you want to do it the good way, just go into HackMew's knowledge and look for a link to making shinies near the top. This requires a good amount of ASM knowledge and time, however, it will make shinies that are completely unique in terms of PID stats and such.
However, if you're not into ASM, use the tool Shinyzer on your rom. After you use it, just add "setvar 0x8003 0x#" to any script and the next # of Pokemon will be shiny (including trainer pokemon, not just wild!). This isn't the best way since I've heard the PID's tend to not be unique and the stats aren't perfect, but it does work, and I haven't had any problems with it.

Obese semi-human creature that lived on Ridgeway Rd. in East Tennessee. The Swaddley Ho is a pathological liar who attempts to make himself look cool but only succeeds in making itself look like a complete and total idiot. The Swaddley Ho is known to eat anything that crosses its path, including but not limited to small children and helpless elderly.Last know whereabouts of the Swaddley Ho was next door to the infamous Cap'n Sipher. Can be identified by the bragging of his little league batting average of over 1.000. The Swaddley Ho suffered numerous attacks by the "midnight bombings" of a group of vigilantie young kids who killed grass in his yard spelling "FAT" and filling his air conditioner with human urine.
Oh no, here comes the Swaddley Ho feeding on beef tripe and homosexual black penises.

This invention relates generally to all practical applications of the Kalman Filter and more particularly to large dynamical systems with a special need for fast, computationally stable and accurate results.
Prior to explaining the invention, it will be helpful to first understand the prior art of both the Kalman Filter (KF) and the Fast Kalman Filter (FKF™) for calibrating a sensor system (WO 90/13794). The underlying Markov process is described by the equations from (1) to (3). The first equation tells how a measurement vector yt depends on the state vector st at timepoint t, (t=0,1,2 . . . ). This is the linearized Measurement (or observation) equation:
yt =Ht st +et ( 1)
The design matrix Ht is typically composed of the partial derivatives of the actual Measurement equations. The second equation describes the time evolution of e.g. a weather balloon flight and is the System (or state) equation:
st =st-1 +ut-1 +at ( 2)
(or, st =Ast-1 +But-1 +at more generally)
which tells how the balloon position is composed of its previous position st-1 as well as of increments ut-1 and at These increments are typically caused by a known uniform motion and an unknown random acceleration, respectively.
The measurement errors, the acceleration term and the previous position usually are mutually uncorrelated and are briefly described here by the following covariance matrices:
Re.sbsb.t =Cov(et)=E(et et ')
Ra.sbsb.t =Cov(at)=E(at at ')
Pt-1 =Cov(st-1)=E{(st-1 -st-1)(st-1 -st-1)'}(3)
The Kalman forward recursion formulae give us the best linear unbiased estimates of the present state
st =st-1 +ut-1 +Kt {yt -Ht (st-1 +ut-1)} (4)
and its covariance matrix
Pt =Cov(st)=Pt-1 -Kt H't Pt-1( 5)
where the Kalman gain matrix Kt is defined by
Kt =(Pt-1 +Ra.sbsb.t)H't {Ht (Pt-1 Ra.sbsb.t)H't +Re.sbsb.t }-1 ( 6)
Let us now partition the estimated state vector st and its covariance matrix Pt as follows: ##EQU1## where bt tells us the estimated balloon position; and,
cct the estimated calibration parameters.
The respective partitioning of the other quantities will then be as follows: ##EQU2##
The recursion formulae from (4) to (6) gives us now a filtered (based on updated calibration parameters) position vector
bt =bt-1 +ub.sbsb.t-1 +Kb.sbsb.t {yt -Ht (st-1 +ut-1)} (9)
and the updated calibration parameter vector
ct =ct-1 +uc.sbsb.t-1 +Kc.sbsb.t {yt -Ht (st-1+ut-1)} (10)
The Kalman gain matrices are respectively ##EQU3##
The following modified form of the general State equation is introduced
Ast-1 +But-1 =Ist +A(st-1 -st-1)-at( 12)
where s represents an estimated value of a state vector s. Combine it with the Measurement equation (1) in order to obtain so-called Augmented Model: ##EQU4## The state parameters can now be computed by using the well-known solution of a Regression Analysis problem given below. Use it for Updating:
st =(Z't Vt -1 Zt)-1 Z't Vt -1 zt ( 14)
The result is algebraically equivalent to use of the Kalman Recursions but not numerically. For the balloon tracking problem with a large number sensors with slipping calibration the matrix to be inverted in equations (6) or (11) is larger than that in formula (14).
The initialization of the large Fast Kalman Filter (FKF™) for solving the calibration problem of the balloon tracking sensors is done by Lange's High-pass Filter. It exploits an analytical sparse-matrix inversion formula (Lange, 1988a) for solving regression models with the following so-called Canonical Block-angular matrix structure: ##EQU5## This is a matrix representation of the Measurement equation of an entire windfinding intercomparison experiment or one balloon flight. The vectors b1,b2, . . . ,bK typically refer to consecutive position coordinates of a weather balloon but may also contain those calibration parameters that have a significant time or space variation. The vector c refers to the other calibration parameters that are constant over the sampling period.
The Regression Analytical approach of the Fast Kalman Filtering (FKF™) for updating the state parameters including the calibration drifts in particular, is based on the same block-angular matrix structure as in equation (15). The optimal estimates ( ) of b1,b2, . . . bK and c are obtained by making the following logical insertions into formula (15) for each timepoint t, t=1,2, . . . : ##EQU6## These insertions concluded the specification of the Fast Kalman Filter (FKF™) algorithm for calibrating the upper-air wind tracking system. Another application would be the Global Observing System of the World Weather Watch. Here, the vector yk contains various observed inconsistencies and systematic errors of weather reports (e.g. mean day-night differences of pressure values which should be about zero) from a radiosonde system k or from a homogeneous cluster k of radiosonde stations of a country (Lange, 1988a/b). The calibration drift vector bk will then tell us what is wrong and to what extent. The calibration drift vector c refers to errors of a global nature or which are more or less common to all observing systems (e.g. biases in satellite radiances and in their vertical weighting functions or some atmospheric tide effects).
For all these large multiple sensor systems their design matrices H typically are sparse. Thus, one can usually perform in one way or another the following sort of ##EQU7## where ct typically represents calibration parameters at time t
bt,k all other state parameters in the time and/or space volume
A state transition matrix (bock-diagonal) at time t
B matrix (bock-diagonal) for state-independent effects ut at time t.
Consequently, two (or three) types of gigantic Regression Analysis problems
Zt =Zt St +et ( 18)
were faced as follows:
Augmented model for a space volume case: see also equations (15) and (16), e.g. for the data of an entire windtracking experiment with K consecutive balloon positions: ##STR1## Augmented Model for a moving time volume (e.g. for "whitening" an observed "innovations" sequence of residuals et over a moving sample of length L): ##STR2##
Please observe that the matrix formula may take a "nested" Block-Angular structure. Fast semi-analytical solutions based on
Updating: St ={Z't Vt -1 Zt }- Z't Vt -1 Zt ( 19)
for all these three cases were published in PCT/FI90/00122 (Lange, 1990), WIPO, Geneva, Switzerland.
The Fast Kalman Filter (FKF™) formulae for the recursion step at any timepoint t were as follows: ##EQU8## where, for l=0,1,2, . . . , L-1, ##EQU9## and, i.e. for l=L,
Rt-L =Vt-L -1
Vt-L =Cov{A(Ct-1 -Ct-1)-ac.sbsb.t }
yt-L =ACt-1 +Buc.sbsb.t-1
Gt-L =I.
A major R & D project was initiated in 1988 which led to the start of cooperation between ECMWF and Meteo-France for the coding of a dynamical atmospheric model, an optimal interpolation, a variational data assimilation and a Kalman Filter (FK), all in the same framework. The project is called IFS (Integrated Forecasting System), see Jean-Noel Thepaut and Philippe Courtier ( 1991): "Four-dimensional variational data assimilation using the adjoint of a multilevel primitive-equation model", Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 117, pp. 1225-1254.
Similar Kalman Filter (FK) studies have recently been reported also by Roger Daley (1992): "The Lagged Innovation Covariance: A Performance Diagnostic for Atmospheric Data Assimilation", Monthly Weather Review of the American Meteorological Society, Vol. 120, pp. 178-196, and Stephen E. Cohn and David F. Parrish (1991): "The Behavior of Forecast Error Covariances for a Kalman Filter in Two Dimensions", Monthly Weather Review of the American Meteorological Society, Vol. 119, pp. 1757-1785. Unfortunately, the ideal Kalman Filter systems described in the above reports have been out of reach at the present time. Dr. T. Gal-Chen of School of Meteorology, University of Oklahoma, reported in May 1988: "There is hope that the developments of massively parallel super computers (e.g., 1000 desktop CRAYs working in tandem) could result in algorithms much closer to optimal . . . ", see "Report of the Critical Review Panel--Lower Tropospheric Profiling Symposium: Needs and Technologies", Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Vol. 71, No. 5, May 1990, page 684.
There exists a need for exploiting the principles of the Fast Kalman Filtering (FKF™) method for a broad technical field (broader than just calibrating a sensor system in some narrow sense of word "calibration") with equal or better computational speed, reliability, accuracy, and cost benefits than other Kalman Filtering methods can do.
These needs are substantially met by provision of the generalized Fast Kalman Filtering (FKF™) method for calibrating and adjusting the sensors and various model parameters of a dynamical system in real-time or in near real-time as described in this specification. Through the use of this method, the computation results include the forecast error covariances that are absolute necessary for warning, decision making and control purposes.
FIG. 1. Diagram of the disclosed invention.
Prior to explaining the invention, it will be helpful to first understand prior art Kalman Filter (FK) theory exploited in the current experimental Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems. As previously, they make use of equation (1):
Measurement Equation: yt =Ht st +et (linearized regression)
where state vector st describes the state of the atmosphere at timepoint t. Now, st usually represents all gridpoint values of atmospheric variables e.g. the geopotential heights of a number of different pressure levels.
The dynamics of the atmosphere is governed by a well-known set of partial differential equations ("primitive" equations). Making use of the so-called adjoint operator of the model the following linear expression of equation (2) is obtained for the time evolution of the atmosphere at each time step:
State Equation: st =Ast-1 +But-1 +at (the discretized dyn-stoch model)
The four-dimensional data assimilation results (st) and the NWP forecasts (st), respectively, are obtained from the Kalman Filter system as follows:
st =st +Kt (yt -Ht st)
st =Ast-1 +But-1 (21)
Pt =Cov(st)=A Cov(st-1)A'+Qt (prediction accuracy)
Qt =Cov(at)=Eat a't (system noise)
Rt =Cov(et)=Eet e't (measurement noise)
and the crucial Updating computations are based on the following Kalman Recursion:
Kt =Pt H't (Ht Pt H't +Rt)-1(Kalman Gain matrix)
Cov(st)=Pt -Kt Ht Pt (estimation accuracy).
The matrix inversion needed here for the computation of the Kalman Gain matrix is exceedingly difficult for any realistic NWP system because the data assimilation system must be be able to digest several ten thousand data elements at a time.
The method of the invention will now be described. We start with the Augmented Model from equation (13): ##EQU10## For the four-dimensional data assimilation the following two equations are obtained for its Updating: ##EQU11## where, as previously,
st =Ast-1 +But-1 (NWP "forecasting")
Pt =Cov(st)=A Cov(st-1)A'+Qt (24)
but instead of
Kt =Pt H't (Ht Pt H't +Rt)-1(Kalman Gain matrix)
we take
Kt =Cov(st)H't Rt -1 (25)
The Augmented Model approach is superior to the use of the Kalman Recursion formulae for a large vector of input data yt because the computation of the Kalman Gain matrix Kt required a huge matrix inversion when Cov(st) was unknown. Both methods are algebraically and statistically equivalent but certainly not numerically.
Unfortunately, the Augmented Model formulae above may still become much too difficult to handle numerically if the number of the state parameters is overly large. This actually happens, firstly, if state vector st consists of enough gridpoint data for a realistic representation of the atmosphere. A spectral decomposition (or empirical orthogonal functions) could be attempted here for the purpose of decreasing the number of state parameters. Secondly, there are many other state parameters that must be included in the state vector for a realistic NWP system. These are first of all related to systematic (calibration) errors of observing systems as well as to the so-called physical parameterization schemes of small scale atmospheric processes.
Fortunately, all these problems are overcome by using the method of decoupling states through exploitation of the general Fast Kalman Filtering (FKF™) method. For the large observing systems of the atmosphere their design matrices H typically are sparse. Thus, one can perform the following ##EQU12## where ct typically represents "calibration" parameters at time t
bt,k values of atmospheric parameters at grid point k (k=1, . . . K)
A state transition matrix at time t (submatrices A1, . . . ,AK,Ac)
B for state-independent effects (submatrices B1, . . . ,BK,Bc).
Consequently, the following gigantic Regression Analysis problem is faced: ##STR3##
The Fast Kalman Filter (FKF™) fomulae for the recursion step at any timepoint t are as follows: ##EQU13## where, for k=1,2, . . . K, ##EQU14## and, i.e. for k=0,
Rt,0 =Vt,0-1
Vt,0 =Cov{Ac (st-1 -st-1)-ac.sbsb.t }
yt,0 =Ac st-1 +Bc ut-1
Gt,0 =I.
The data assimilation accuracies are obtained from equation (23) as follows: ##EQU15## Through these semi-analytical means all the matrices to be inverted for the solution of gigantic Regression Analysis models of type shown in equation (27) are kept reasonably small and, especially, for the preferred embodiment of the invention for an operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model and four-dimensional data assimilation system that is much too large to be specified here. Obviously, the error variances and covariances of the forecasts and the data assimilation results are derived using equations (24) and (29), respectively.
The generalized Fast Kalman Filtering (FKF™) formulae given in equations (28) and (29) are pursuant to the invented method.
Those stilled in the art will appreciate that many variations could be practiced with respect to the above described invention without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the scope of the invention should not be considered as limited to the specific embodiment described, except in so far as the claims may specifically include such limitations.

Ofcom rules out mobile competition review
The UK mobile telephony market is competitive enough, UK communications regulator Ofcom said today, ruling out a a formal market review of the sector.
This Article Covers
The UK mobile telephony market is competitive enough, UK communications regulator Ofcom said today, ruling out a a formal market review of the sector.
Mobile network coverage in the UK was generally good but some problems persisted in rural areas, Ofcom said, as it published the first maps of 3G network coverage by the UK's five mobile network operators.
>> Photos: True Picture of your Mobile 3G Coverage <<
Ofcom said consumers were increasingly using mobile networks to access the internet on their computers via a dongle or 3G datacard.
There were over two million new connections to mobile broadband between February 2008 and February 2009, it said.
Ofcom would focus on persistent so-called "not-spots", where areas have poor or no reception, and try to facilitate better mobile coverage.
It said it will help government proposals to make more spectrum available for mobile broadband as well as improve 3G coverage on key transport routes.
It would also research the technical quality of service, such as mobile broadband speeds, that consumers receive from mobile devices.
Ofcom's view is based on a market analysis which forms part of a consultation on call termination rates due to close on 29 July. Termination rates are the wholesale charges that operators make to connect calls to each others' networks.

This research examines the relative importance of attitudes and group norms in determining frequency of marijuana use. In this examination, we employ a neglected concept in attitude/behavior research—behavioral commitment. We suggest that the role of attitudes and group norms will vary, in part, depending upon one's level of commitment to the behavior. Specifically, we assert that norms will increase in importance over attitudes as behavioral commitment increases. To test this hypothesis, we utilize covariance structure analysis with a nationally representative sample of high school seniors defined in terms of their commitment to marijuana use. Multiple group comparisons also are performed to assess the comparability of measurement properties and structural estimates. Results are supportive of the hypothesis. The findings are discussed in terms of previous attitude/behavior research and drug abuse prevention programs.

- Suspect showed gun to clerk at Howard Johnson's
An armed robbery occurred at Howard Johnson's Motel on S.R. 42 at the I-70 interchange Sunday afternoon.
A black male, who appeared to be in his early 20s, entered the motel lobby about 2 p.m. and asked for a room, reported Clay County Det./Sgt. Mike Heaton.
The clerk handed him a registration card to fill out. The suspect then gave the clerk an invalid debit/credit card. As the clerk returned the card the suspect asked her if she would do him a favor.
"Give me all the money in the drawer," the suspect said.
The clerk said the suspect did show a gun.
After receiving an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect left the premises in a white SUV heading west on S.R. 42 toward S.R. 59.
The suspect was described as about 5 ft. 5 in. to 5 ft. 8 in. and medium build. He was wearing a red jacket with yellow sleeves. His hair was in corn rows and he had tattoos on his hands and knuckles.
A man matching that description was seen earlier at Fast Max Sunoco at the S.R. 42 and S.R. 59 interchange.
Heaton and Dep. Jason Frazier are reviewing surveillance tapes. The crime remains under investigation.
Anyone with information regarding this incident should call the Clay County Sheriff's Department at 446-2535.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Education's Education Flexibility Partnership Demonstration Program (Ed-Flex), focusing on whether Ed-Flex is structured to address the issues associated with multiple federal programs.
GAO noted that: (1) under the Ed-Flex project, 12 states have been given limited authority to waive certain federal requirements affecting local school districts and schools; (2) Ed-Flex delegates federal authority to the states rather than expanding the scope of waiver authority generally available for education programs; (3) because the Department retains its own waiver authority outside the Ed-Flex states, school districts in other states may also request similar waivers; (4) instead of these waivers being approved at the state level, as in an Ed-Flex state, the waivers are approved at the federal level through the Department of Education; (5) for both Ed-Flex states and the federal Department of Education, the authority to grant waivers is restricted to specific requirements within specific programs; (6) waivers can be granted, however, for some requirements under Title I, such as those allocating funds within a school district; (7) through Ed-Flex, the Department hopes to: (a) simplify the waiver process; and (b) assist the twelve states in implementing education reforms that are designed to help all children reach challenging academic standards; (8) the Ed-Flex demonstration is generally not structured to address the issues that result from the large number of federal programs administered by different departments and agencies such as: (a) additional complexity in acquiring information about federal requirements; (b) increased difficulty in obtaining and analyzing information on program participation and educational outcomes; and (c) the potential for reduced flexibility in the use of federal funds; (9) because waivers cannot reduce the number of agencies or programs, they do not and cannot make fundamental changes in the underlying structure or design of federal assistance in education; (10) since Ed-Flex does not ensure coordination across agencies and programs, it is also not well-positioned to streamline the different administrative processes a school district must follow; (11) waivers do not simplify the challenge of obtaining the information necessary to characterize federal programs or evaluate their effect; and (12) although waivers of federal regulations, whether administered through Ed-Flex or through the federal Department of Education, cannot provide additional funding flexibility across all federal programs, they can increase a school district's flexibility within a covered federal program.

CS Lewis, on 21 May 2013 - 04:49 AM, said:
limitations inherent in the nature of your being constitute such a handicap that you are unable to see,
comprehend, or know the wisdom and kindness of many of the divine acts which to you seem fraught with
such crushing cruelty, and which seem to be characterized by such utter indifference to the comfort and
welfare, to the planetary happiness and personal prosperity, of your fellow creatures. It is because of the
limits of human vision, it is because of your circumscribed understanding and finite comprehension, that
you misunderstand the motives, and pervert the purposes, of God. But many things occur on the
evolutionary worlds which are not the personal doings of the Universal Father.
Are we expected to dignify this with a response?

The Steelers didn't make significant personnel changes to the most unstable part of their team the last few years.
But they still think the one tweak they made can make a big difference.
With Hall of Famer Mike Munchak joining as offensive line coach, the hope is that he can mold the Steelers' existing linemen into something they've not been in the past.
"I think we can have a special group here," Munchak said, via Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The biggest hurdle will be getting Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey well again, after last year's torn ACL which triggered a revolving door in the middle of an otherwise healthy line.
The right side of guard David DeCastro and tackle Marcus Gilbert started every game, and left guard Ramon Foster missed just one. They shuffled left tackles during the season, but settled on former seventh-rounder Kelvin Beachum over second-rounder Mike Adams.
Munchak thinks that stability will pay off.
"People don't know how hard it is to just get plugged in and how much that affects the chemistry of the offensive line," Munchak said. "I've followed them through college and know what type of players they are. I'm excited to work with them."
If he can turn what has been a hodge-podge into a quality line, they'll be excited to work for Munchak, as well. And he'll deserve a raise.

The transition from high school to college is a big step for many teens. Moving into a dorm room, eating in dining halls, hugging your parents' goodbye, and leaving childhood friends, can be extremely overwhelming for a college freshman.

David Abram (born June 24, 1957) is an American cultural ecologist, philosopher, and
performance artist, best known for his work bridging the philosophical tradition of
phenomenology with environmental and ecological issues. He is the founder and creative
director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics (AWE).
Born on Long Island, Abram grew up among the marshes and creeks that wind through
coastal suburbia. He began practicing sleight-of-hand magic in his late teens, which
sparked his ongoing fascination with perception. In 1976, he began working as "house
magician" at Alice's Restaurant in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, and soon was
performing at clubs throughout New England while studying at Wesleyan University. He
took a year off from college to journey as a street magician through Europe and the Middle
East; toward the end of that journey, in London, he began exploring the application of
sleight-of-hand magic to psychotherapy under the guidance of Dr. R. D. Laing. After
graduating summa cum laude from Wesleyan in 1980, Abram traveled throughout
Southeast Asia, living and studying with indigenous magic practitioners. When he returned
to North America he became a student of natural history and ecology while continuing to
perform in Canada and the United States. A much-reprinted essay written while studying at
the Yale School of Forestry in 1984 — entitled "The Perceptual Implications of Gaia" —
brought Abram into association with the scientists formulating the Gaia Hypothesis, and he
was soon lecturing in tandem with biologist Lynn Margulis and geochemist James Lovelock
in Britain and the United States. In the late nineteen-eighties, Abram turned his attention to
exploring and articulating the decisive influence of language upon the human senses and
upon our sensory experience of the land around us. Abram received a doctorate for this
work from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, in 1993.
David Abram's writing is informed by his work with indigenous peoples, as well as by the
American nature-writing tradition that stems from Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman.
His philosophical work is informed by the European tradition of phenomenology — in
particular, by the work of the French phenomenologist, Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Abram's
work has also been influenced by his friendships with the archetypal psychologist James
Hillman and with the radical social critic, → Ivan Illich — as well as by his esteem for the
American poet → Gary Snyder and the agrarian poet and essayist Wendell Berry. In 1988,
while pursuing his doctorate, David was invited by the maverick ecologist → Paul Shepard
to temporarily fill Shepard's teaching position (while Shepard pursued a year's research
overseas), as visiting professor of ecology and natural philosophy at the Claremont Colleges
in California. Since that time, Abram has offered seminars at universities around the world,
while nonetheless maintaining his independence from the institutional world of academia.
His ideas have on several occasions been debated (sometimes heatedly) within the pages of
Environmental Ethics, an academic journal dedicated to matters of environmental
In 2001, the New England Aquarium and the Orion Society sponsored a large
public debate between David Abram and distinguished biologist E. O. Wilson, at Faneuil
Hall in Boston, on science and ethics. (An essay by Abram that grew out of that debate,
David Abram
entitled "Earth in Eclipse," has been published in several versions). In the summer of 2005,
Abram delivered a keynote address for the United Nations "World Environment Week" in
San Francisco, to 70 mayors from the largest cities around the world. Abram founded the
Alliance for Wild Ethics with several colleagues in 2006. He is profiled in the 2007 book,
Visionaries: The 20th Century's 100 Most Inspirational Leaders[2]
The father of two small
children, David Abram lives in northern New Mexico.
Abram is the author of The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a
More-than-Human World,[3]
, for which he received the international Lannan Literary
Award for Nonfiction. A storyteller and sleight-of-hand magician who has lived and traded
magic with indigenous medicine people in Indonesia, Nepal, and the Americas, Abram's
essays on the cultural causes and consequences of ecological disarray have appeared in
such journals as Orion, Environmental Ethics, Parabola, Tikkun, Wild Earth, Resurgence,
and The Ecologist, as well as in edited anthologies. Named by the Utne Reader as one of a
hundred visionaries currently transforming the world,[4]
Abram has been the recipient of
numerous honors, including fellowships from the Rockefeller and Watson Foundations.
