Even though the number of entries in PR Lions increased this year by 43 per cent in comparison to last year, the number of metals awarded dropped from 44 of last year to 39 this year. The India camp can still celebrate because this has been one of the best years for India in PR Lions with three Silvers. In 2009, India had drawn a blank in the category and had won one Lion in 2010.
BBDO India's work for P&G's Gillette 'Shave Sutra' won a Silver each in Consumer Goods, including FMCG and Household Products subcategory and Best Launch or Re-launch subcategory.
Mudra Communications' work for Reliance Media Works, titled 'Silent National Anthem', won a Silver Lion in the Best Use of Broadcast subcategory.
The Grand 'Prix' Break Up
The Grand Prix in the category was awarded to Clemenger BBDO Melbourne for 'Break up', done for National Australia Bank.
Speaking on the Grand Prix, Dave Senay, President & CEO, Fleishman-Hillard, who was the Jury President for PR Lions, said, "This was one of three or four Gold medallists competing for the Grand Prix but at the end, we were clear this was our winner. This work was a brilliant example of positioning a service, while de-positioning competition. It was based on the insight that the banking industry had recently undergone a crisis, that has left deeply rooted imprints in our psyche even today and most consumers think all banks are the same."
Elaborating further on the idea, Senay said, "Break up was a clever idea that the brand used as a massive force against competition and it was very well integrated across media platforms. Even the use of Twitter to kick off the campaign displayed a brilliant understanding of the dynamism of social media. The idea had set a high standard and the execution rose to excel on that standard."
The India Wins
BBDO's Shave Sutra has been another strong contender at the Cannes Lions so far. 'Shave Sutra' is a communication idea undertaken to communicate the pleasure of shaving with the new Mach 3 Sensitive razor. It's an on-going consumer engagement programme that began in February during the Shave India Movement 3. The concept was based on the insight that 72 per cent of women found the act of shaving their man sexy (Nielsen Study). The idea was to get women to shave their men in fun positions. "So we created Shave Sutra – shaving positions inspired by the ancient texts of the Kamasutra," explained Josy Paul, Chairman and CCO, BBDO India.
The Gillette Shave Sutra programme involved many elements and media touch points such as social media, digital activities, TV news, press news, celebrity endorsement and special packaging and instructional videos.
Needless to say, Paul is elated with the two Silvers. Speaking to exchange4media, he said, "When we opened an ashram in Mumbai, we felt that we were doing something good. Everyday we lit candles and agarbattis to invoke the jury at Cannes. It worked! We won 14 nominations in two days, and two shiny Silvers so far! Our ideas helped of course, and the faith of our brave amazing clients. We are leaving right now to light diyas and incense sticks in front of our client's offices... to thank them for being our creative partners."
Bobby Pawar, Chief Creative Officer, Mudra Communications was delighted with 'Silent Anthem' winning in the PR category too. He said, "It was contesting as a strong entry in that category. We are happy this entry has done this well."
Will the real PR agencies please enter?
Veena Gidwani, Chief Executive Officer, Madison Public Relations, who is the jury member from India for this category, observed, "Shave Sutra had all the right elements – the consumer insight on Indian men and how they behave, a creative idea that was executed well and finally delivered results for the advertiser. Silent Anthem touches a chord and again, is a well-executed work."
However, Gidwani also pointed out that the category was fairly under-represented from India. "Some very good work was not entered. PR agencies really did not send in work and some categories that score for PR did not see a lot of participation. But what we saw was very good work. At the time of judging, we don't know which company has entered the work and it so happens that both these are from advertising agencies."
While Gidwani was positive on the work from India that she saw in the category, she also advised that entries should pay attention to criteria that matter when the entry is being packaged. The entry should be easy for an international jury to comprehend.
Gidwani stated that awareness around platforms like Cannes Lions in the PR industry in India was required.

The trend of 'remakes' is quite popular in Bollywood. Some of them have struck gold at the box office. But then, there were some, which made us literally question their existence and ponder that why was the remake even made in the first place?
We bring to you 5 such Bollywood remakes that made us cringe.
1. Himmatwala
One requires a lot of 'himmat' to watch this loud and crass spoof.
2. Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag
Wonder why, no one ever filed a case against RGV for spoiling a cult classic. (PS. We want to forget that Big B ever acted in this flick!)
3. Karzzz
And the makers thought that adding extra 'zz' in the film's title could save this piece of disaster!
4. Victoria No 203
The perfect example of how to take a super hit 70s classic and turn it into a sheer torture for the audience.
5. Umrao Jaan
Even Abhi-Ash couldn't change the destiny of this film at the box office.

Ask the expert: Debt-backed investments vs. money market accounts
March 30, 2011
Q: I have $50,000 in a Ford Interest Advantage account. I am getting a higher yield than on savings accounts and money market accounts, but, this account is not FDIC-insured. How safe is it? Should I get out or stay in? I want to put more money in.
A: This comes down to a question of the trade-off between risk and reward. According to the Ford Credit Investor Center, a Ford Interest Advantage account of $50,000 or more would currently pay a yield of 1.55 percent. This is certainly more than average money market rates, which according to the FDIC would currently yield 0.22 percent.
However, if you research the best savings accounts and money market accounts, you should find a number of options in excess of 1 percent; perhaps not as high as your 1.55 percent, but when all is said and done, you are probably gaining an advantage of just 0.25 percent to 0.40 percent.
Even differences of that size translate into real dollars, especially on large deposits. Still, you have to ask yourself what you are getting up for that little bit of extra yield.
As you correctly point out, a Ford Interest Advantage account is not insured by the FDIC. The Ford Credit Investor Center is also very forthright in explaining that their accounts represent investments in the debt securities of one company, and thus do not offer the diversification you would find in a mutual fund. In short, there is a clear contrast between this and a guaranteed investment, so you have to decide whether the extra 0.25 percent to 0.40 percent is worth that extra risk.
Risk is not inherently bad, but you have to define which of your assets are supposed to be taking on risk to get a return, and which are there for stability. Trouble often results when people start blurring the line between the two.

A very savvy friend suggested Ford Interest Advantage (FIA) -- then Ford Money Market -- to me in 2001, and I've kept some money there since. Your money is not tied up the way it is in a CD, and checks are provided free of charge. (One minor caveat: If you write a check for less than $200, FIA charges you a 25-cent fee.) True, there are FDIC-insured banks such as Ally that will pay you a comparable interest rate if you're skittish about this lack of deposit insurance. However, Ford Motor Company has been around since 1903. It did not need a government bailout during the financial crisis. Money you put in an FIA account helps people finance Ford products. You are thus spurring growth in manufacturing and consumer spending. That's my 2 cents!

Cirrus Aircraft's first production conforming Vision SF50 very light jet, dubbed "C-Zero" (C0), achieved its maiden flight last month from Duluth International Airport, where the company has its headquarters. V1–a nonconforming SF50 prototype of the all-composite, single-engine jet–has been flying July 3, 2008. C0, the first of three conforming flight-test aircraft, was assembled from production-ready drawings, tooling and manufacturing processes, according to Cirrus.
"The Vision Jet handled and performed very well and all systems functioned properly," said Cirrus Aircraft director of engineering flight test and chief test pilot Mike Stevens, who flew C0 for its initial one-hour flight on March 24. The first flight included systems checks of controllability, maneuverability and flight envelope testing and speed performance at an intermediate altitude.
Cirrus, which is owned by the China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co. subsidiary of the state-owned Avic group (Booth 713), said the seven-seat jet is expected to enter service in the second half of next year, following certification by the U.S. FAA. European certification is anticipated by the end of next year. According to Cirrus executive vice president of sales, marketing and support Todd Simmons, the company has nearly 550 position holders for the very light jet on its books.
The second conforming aircraft is due to join the flight test fleet by the end of June with a third to follow during the second half of 2014. The V1 aircraft will continue to participate in flight-testing.

i usually can't smell myself or any other woman unless theyre wearing perfume...so do men notice these things? do you have a preference of natural scent versus perfume?
Most Helpful Girl
I swear this is something men do because I don't notice how men smell at all or other women, but I do know that men seem to be able to smell you out and it's alittle disturbing but oddly interesting at the same time I can't decide if I like that they have such sensitive senses of smell or not :o11|00|0
im curious as to what natural scents are supposed to smell like?
it means like the smell of your skin at the end of the day after your body wash has worn off. as someone else said I don't smell anything but also a good way to smell it would be the smell of your pillow case. That's the smell they mean also possibly the smell of your more girlish parts. imo men just like to smell women. Their shampooed hair, the lotion on their skin, the soap/body wash they use I think this must be some left over primitive thing guys have for sniffing out prey from cavemen.

A woman named Rabia has arrested today in Lahore by Police. She instantly become famous become of having resemblance with Geo Anchor.l When it talks about the real faces of celebrities, it comes true in the month of Ramadan. You can say in other words as our celebrities can do everything for the sake of money. They even put their moralities behind if they have something more in the form of status and money in front of you. Being a Muslim, we should not play our religious values and should give regards to those values.
As far as we talk about our daily social life, we can give space in those matters to our celebrities. As they have their job nature of such types as they have to adopt the way as character demands. However, it does not mean as those actresses who are dancing before the month of Ramadan on the stage, they start to deliver Islamic lessons.
When we see morning shows we see every wrong deed at the stages and even the host actresses are encouraged to the participants to get involved in non Islamic activities. Those actresses have not cloaks on their heads and also have worn some immoral dresses to show their body parts. Unfortunately, sometimes they also cross all limits of ethics and morals when they are hosting the show.
However, on the arrival of Ramadan all celebrities are converted to Islamic lecturers and started to teach people how they should spend their lives according to Islamic rules. Islam does not allow such kinds of people to preside the nation. Unfortunately, they have changed the standards of Islam and nobody is coming on the stage to stop all this bullshits.
We should discourage all these actresses and actors who do not follow the rules of Islam in normal lives and come as Islamic preachers in the month of Ramadan. They should not be followed by the people as their best ones. Producers also should not promote those actresses and actors in the month of Ramadan.

It was around the middle of April that Colt decided to put on his baseball uniform and try out for one of the best softball team in the country. He got to the ball diamond shortly after 9 am and meet the coaches and the others players who were also trying out to make this team. He had to compete with 5 others trying out for the catcher position. His first few day's of training camp went out very well as he made it into the top 2 spots.
Coach Bill and Manager Marc was really impress with Colt batting and his role behind the plate.He was also impress by his other teammates taking on as a good leadership for this club.It was 3 pm when Manager Marc called him into his office to tell him that he will be the new Captain and the team new number one Catcher for this up coming season.
Manager Marc was 100% Colt type he stood well over 6'1 weigh a solid 230 and was another burley man type. He also show off his crotch very well in the team powder blue uniform. Colt also had a little crush on Coach Bill who was a short fucker like himself and had lot's of feature of a Daddy Bear. He stood around 5'9 with short dark buzz hair along with a salt & pepper trim beard.
Colt did well during his first 5 games of the season, He had 4 home runs along with 10 RBI and threw out 5 people trying to steal second base. This will rank him into the top five players in the league. It was during the next practise that Marc invited Colt and Coach Bill over to his apartment for a BQ and to go over the next tournament this is approaching within the next 2 weekends. The top 2 teams of this tournament will be off to the world championship in Montreal,Canada.
It was just after 9 pm that Bill left to go on home for the evening. Marc did not like Bill wife at all because of her controlling way's and her bitchy attitude. Marc had a great Government Job and made well over 100,000 a year.
" Hey Colt "
" Yes Marc "
" You like to go down to the pool for a swim "
" That will be great , But I need a swim suit "
" What size? "
" I am a 34 waist Marc "
" I think there are a couple that sized some wear "
Marc then walk into his room trying to see if he can find that size for Colt. It was a good 5 minutes later he came out with a red speedo for him to wear.
" Is this oaky Colt ? "
" Wow I have not wear one of those in a while "
They both went in change into their swimsuit before they headed off to the pool. The clock was showing around 10 pm as they both got out and head over to the new pool hot tub that was but in. They both enjoy themselves staring at each other crotch while they sat on the side of the tub. Marc was amazed by the nice out line of Colt cock that was showing through his speedo very well.
Colt decided it was time to make the first move on Marc as the drinks have started to hit them both. They were watching TV and notice that there were 2 hockey players making out with each other wearing their Jock Strap.
" Hey Marc has that ever happen to you ? "
" How about you Colt "
" Not with a hockey player "
" Who with dude ? "
" It was with my wrestling coach "
" Yea, The best blow job I ever had "
" Know way "
" I always was curious of trying it with a man "
" Really ''
" I will love to suck you off Marc "
" Sure, I will give it a try "
Colt goatee mouth was planted good and tight around Marc nice 6 plus cock as they were both moaning of sexual pleasure. You can hear the slurps from Colt mouth as Marc pre cum was shooting out huge loads of his seamen.
" Fuck it feels great Colt'
" You Like it ?"
" Yes it reminds me off coach Danny cock and pre cum "
" You mean wrestling coach Danny "
" Yes Marc "
" Fuck it feels fucking great "
" I loved you lips and mouth on my dick "
" Suck it dude "
" Make me cum "
" Make me shoot '
" I love your cock "
" Love your hot juice Marc'
" OH shit I am close now '
" Fuck I am close "
" Here it comes Colt "
"Holy sh............t
Marc started to scream out real loud as his dick was shooting a huge load of juicy cum all down Colt throat, You can see the huge load of white cum that was still dripping off of Colt blonde goatee and mouth before he quickly got up to grab his beer to wash the rest of it all down.
" That was fucking great dude "
" You were right, know Broads can ever suck a cock like that "
" Thank you Marc '
Colt and Marc both got clean out before he headed out the door to go home. Marc and Coach Bill are now playing on who going to be in what room when they fly up to Montreal for the World Softball Championship. It took well over 20 minutes when they both decided to take Colt on as a roomate. The majority of the players are bringing their wives or girlfriends along.
It was early Tuesday morning that Bill, Marc and Colt were over at Bill place waiting on his wife to drive them to the airport so they can catch their flight over to Montreal. The team finally landed into Montreal after a few delays shortly after 2 pm.

I have noticed for a while now ( 1 year+) that especially girls/women look tendency to fall down on my legs. They will look at my face and then their eyes go directly to my legs or sometimes just directly to my legs.
Not everyone does this obviously, but it happens a lot. I dont have long slender so its hard to belive they look because they find them attractive. In addtion i have had some serious insecurities about my leg/hips placement, where I find odd looking and have disliked the way they look. So when i first notcied people looking i thought they were looking because thet look unattractice.
Personally for me to pay attention to a girl's legs it would be because they were either very nice legs, very unattractive legs or very thin/very fat/very muscular legs. If they dont really stand put I dont tendency to notice at all.
So I Just have to ask, does my legs stand out any way at all?

ExpressionEngine add-ons
A quick summary of the available EE2 add-ons.
ExpressionEngine 2 has six types of add-on and the differences between them can be confusing at first.
The original four types - available since EE1 - are:
- Plugins
- Modules
- Extensions
- Expansions
ExpressionEngine 2 introduced two new types:
- Field types
- Accessories
Each type has a different level of complexity and except in the case of plugins and modules their own distinct areas of usage.
I'll introduce each type of add-on separately.

My blog is very long (lots of vertical reading) and I would like to possibly widen the middle content "box," and also bring some of the videos from the bottom up to the top.

That's when I realize the "truth" it's all emptiness and delusions. I felt nihilistic about it all. Even with all the validation someone seeks, that validation won't last forever, and it won't save you from the "inevitable". And then eventually all the fame and validation will dissolve like as if it was never really there at all in the first place.
But if that is what they really enjoy, then fine. It's just another form of coping mechanism from my perspective. Because it just makes them "feel good" in this miserable world and reality that they have trouble facing or don't want to face.
It's a joke and a light hearted friendly question designed to get the community to interact with each other.

Author | Source: The Economic Times | Tuesday, Dec 05,2006 8:41 AM
Unilever group CEO Patrick Cescau had one cryptic but telling message for India as a market. "I want India to be for Unilever what China has been for the other company," he said in an oblique reference to the role India's giant Asian neighbour has played in the fortunes of Procter & Gamble, Lever's great rival.
In his second visit to India after taking over as CEO, Mr Cescau was aggressive, confident, and gung-ho about opportunities in the world's second fastest-growing economy. Eloquent about the strength of Unilever's brands, he was delighted with the opportunities in the current market and pushed for greater penetration and growth in market share.
His indirect reference to P&G's enormous success in China could have been aimed at goading the current HLL management. It could also have been a wistful expression of longing for replicating the success of his rival in other great Asian market. China is an enormous success story for P&G.
It is the sixth biggest market for the company with sales of over $2 billion and contribution of turnover of about 3.5%. P&G's sales in China rose at a cumulative annual average rate of 25% between 2002 and 2005. In contrast, growth for Unilever in India has been less than 10% in the past two years.
The company has overcome some of the problems it had faced in the past, but for India to grow as fast as China, many more things need to be done.
For one, HLL needs to maintain its market share in key categories of laundry, soaps and personal care products. It also needs to revisit its strategy in foods. Hindustan Lever has surprisingly struggled in this business despite being a global leader. A high-profile acquisition of Modern Food failed to deliver returns, and a foray into branded staples also did not click with consumers.
Mr Cescau was candid about what needs to be done. "Clearly, in processed foods, the market is not mature enough in India. But we have some strong brands such as Kissan, Knorr and Annapurna. We can bring together under one banner the capabilities in foods business worldwide, the competitive strengths and cost reduction to deliver value to consumers," he added.
In its core businesses, Mr Cescau said that he saw great opportunity with the entry of modern retail formats such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour etc. He pooh-poohed suggestions that HLL's sales and margins would suffer with the entry of modern retail.
"In markets were modern trade has major presence, we have done very well. We have not suffered. It is an opportunity for us to exploit synergies and grow the business in a big way," Mr Cescau added.

Family income and educational attainment: a review of approaches and evidence for Britain

Jo and Paul Complete.doc Family Income and Educational Attainment: A Review of Approaches and Evidence for Britain Jo Blanden Paul Gregg September 2004 Published by Centre for the Economics of Education London School of Economics Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE © Jo Blanden and Paul Gregg, submitted May 2004 ISBN 07530 1735 0 Individual copy price: £5 The Centre for the Economics of Education is an independent research centre funded by the Department for Education and Skills. The views expressed in this work are those of the author and do not reflect the views of the DfES. All errors and omissions remain the authors. Executive Summary It is clear from existing research that children from poorer backgrounds have worse educational attainments than their better-off peers. What is less clear, however, is the extent to which these differences are caused by income itself rather than parental ability, education, and other aspects of the child's experience which differ between families but are not a direct result of income. If it is money in itself which makes a difference then increased income inequality among families with children (such as has occurred in recent years in the UK) will lead to increased inequalities in educational attainment. This paper discusses the variety of approaches that researchers have used to solve this identification problem in the US. These methods are then applied to UK data in order to find out the extent to which income makes a difference to the probability of staying on and to final qualification attainment. A natural first step in this process is to control directly for factors which may explain why educational attainments differ between richer and poorer families. It is important, however, not to control for variables which mediate the relationship between income and education

Notice the orange track of the throwed grenade, flash has blue track and frag has red.

|Logic and Philosophy of
Erotetic Logic and Explanation by Abnormic Hypotheses
Andrzej Wisniewski
General rules might be false or even known as not applying to all relevant cases, but nevertheless these are the general rules which usually govern our expectations, since they enable us to predict the most "typical" outcomes. When such a prediction fails, however, the need for explanation usually arises. The explanation called for is not simply an explanation of the failure of our prediction: we want to explain why such and such outcome took place rather than the expected one. In the simplest case this situation may be schematically described as follows: we have a general rule of the form:
which has proved its usefulness in many cases, but on the other hand, we have found an object a of which the following holds: F1(a) & ... & Fm(a), R(a) where R(a) describes something that is the case and which is such that the statement
is true. So we ask the question: Why is it the case that R(a)?
How can one find an acceptable answer to this question? A possible way is to formulate and/or apply a relevant abnormic hypothesis which completes the general rule. In most cases a hypothesis of this kind determines a class of possible correct answers to the explanation-seeking why question within which some selection should be made. The core of the selection procedure consists in performing a series of valid erotetic inferences (i.e., roughly, inferences which have questions as conclusions). If the selection procedure is successful, an acceptable answer to the explanation seeking question is found, a deductive nomological explanation of the analyzed departure from a general rule becomes possible and the degree of confirmation of the proposed hypothesis rises. If, however, the selection procedure ends with the rejection of all the relevant possible correct answers to the why question, the abnormic hypothesis should be modified.
Let us analyze this in detail.
1. What are abnormic hypotheses? In his famous paper "Why questions" Sylvain Bromberger introduced the concept of abnormic law1. There are abnormic laws of two kinds: general and special. Here are two examples of general abnormic laws (taken from Bromberger's paper):
The following are examples of special abnormic laws:
By and large, a general abnormic law states that if some initial conditions are met, then a given effect takes place provided that some additional conditions are not met. If, however, any of the additional conditions is met, then the result is different. Moreover, a general abnormic law catalogues all the possible outcomes different from the "main" one and associates with each of them some condition(s) whose satisfaction, together with the satisfaction of the initial conditions, produces the relevant outcome. A special abnormic law, in turn, states that if some initial conditions are met and some additional conditions are not satisfied, the outcome is so-and-so, but if any of the additional conditions is satisfied, the result is just the opposite.
Abnormic laws are regarded as completions of general rules. In particular, (L1) completes the general rule:
whereas (L2) completes the following:
Similarly, the general rules:
are completed by (L3) and (L4), respectively.
We may say2 that a general abnormic law has the following logical form:
are distinct one-place predicates.
A special abnormic law has the following logical form:
are distinct one-place predicates. The general rule completed by a general or special abnormic law of the form (GAH) or (SAH) has the logical form of (GR).
Let us stress that the above schemata only show what is the logical form of abnormic laws. It is not the case that any statement having the form of (GAH) or (SAH) is an abnormic law. Bromberger imposes here some further constraints. The most important are lawlikeness and truth; there are also other requirements (cf. Bromberger (1992), pp. 89 90). Yet, we want to speak here about abnormic hypotheses instead of abnormic laws. So we will say that a general abnormic hypothesis is a hypothesis of the form (GAH). Similarly, a special abnormic hypothesis is a hypothesis of the form (SAH). We neither assume nor deny that an abnormic hypothesis is true.
In order to continue we also need the concept of an antonymic predicate of an abnormic hypothesis (law).
The antonymic predicates of (GAH) are E, R1, R2, ..., Rk; they are the antonymic predicates of the corresponding general abnormic hypothesis (law). Thus, for example, the antonymic predicates of the law (L2) are the following: 'Forms the plural by adding s', 'Forms the plural by dropping the last syllable and replacing it with aux', 'Forms the plural by adding x', 'Forms the plural by adding nothing'.
The antonymic predicates of (SAH) (and thus also of the corresponding special abnormic hypothesis or law) are E and E*, where E* is the negation of the predicate E. In what follows, instead of defining the concept of negation of a predicate, we will simply assume that the formula
always holds. The antonymic predicates of (L3) are: 'The velocity of ... changes', 'The velocity of ... does not change', whereas the antonymic predicates of (L4) are: 'expands' and 'does not expand'.
2. Answers to why questions. Why questions pose a challenge to erotetic logicians, since it is hard to define what counts as a "principal" possible (that is in terms of different theories direct, or proper, or conclusive, etc.) answer to a why question. The (partial) solution to this problem proposed in this paper will be based on (but not identical with) that proposed by Bromberger in his paper "Why questions."
Bromberger's analysis is restricted to why questions in the so called normal form, that is, why questions which can be put in English in the form of an interrogative sentence which fulfills the following conditions: (a) it begins with the word why; (b) the remainder of the sentence has the (surface) structure of a yes no question; (c) the sentence contains no parenthetical verbs. The inner question of a why question in the normal form is the yes no question expressed by the interrogative sentence which can be obtained from the why question by deleting the word why; the presupposition of a why question in the normal form is the sentence which expresses the affirmative answer to its inner question. For example, in the case of the question:
the inner question is:
whereas the presupposition is:
One of the merits of Bromberger's analysis is that it supplements the concept of correct answer to a why question with a precisely defined meaning3. Correct answers to why-questions are defined as follows:
For example, the correct answer to (3) is: (Because) cheval ends in al.
Since the explanans of a deductive nomological explanation is supposed to consist of truths, each correct answer to a why question must be true. On the other hand, if a general rule can be completed by more than one abnormic law, the corresponding why question can have more than one correct answer.
We shall now define a weaker, relativized concept of a possible correct answer to a why question.
Def.1. A statement B is a possible correct answer to the question "Why is it the case that A?" with respect to a background knowledge K and an abnormic hypothesis H (general or special) iff
We have:
FACT 1. Let Ri
be an antonymic predicate of (GAH) and let
be the predicates associated with Ri in (GAH). Assume also that the following statements belong to K:
Then each sentence of the form Pij(a)
is a possible correct answer to the question:
with respect to K and the general abnormic hypothesis expressed by (GAH).
In other words, if the presupposition of a why question says that an object a has the property Ri, where Ri is an antonymic predicate of a general abnormic hypothesis such that Ri does not occur in the general rule completed by it (that is, roughly, the presupposition expresses a departure from the general rule), and the background knowledge K contains the statements (I) and (II), then each sentence which says that the object a has the property Pij, where Pij is a predicate associated with Ri in the general abnormic hypothesis, is a possible correct answer to the why question with respect to K and the hypothesis. In the case of special abnormic hypotheses we have:
FACT 2. Assume that the following statements belong to K:
Then each sentence of the form Pj(a),
is a possible correct answer to the question:
with respect to K and the special abnormic hypothesis expressed by (SAH).
It seems that the above consequences comply with intuitions. Note that a possible correct answer to a why question need not be true (but of course can be). We also do not assume that an item of a background knowledge must consist of truths. We require that the relevant abnormic hypothesis must be consistent with the relevant pieces of a background knowledge, but, for the sake of generality, we do not impose further conditions here. Let us finally observe that any possible correct answer to (#) which has the form of Pij(a), the corresponding general abnormic hypothesis, and the statements (I) and (II) constitute the explanans of a potential deductive nomological explanation whose explanandum is Ri(a). Similarly, any possible correct answer to (##) of the form Pj(a), the relevant special abnormic hypothesis, and the statements (I) and (III) constitute the explanans of a potential deductive nomological explanation whose explanandum is E*(a). In both cases an answer to the why question is the necessary premise which makes the (potential) deductive nomological explanation possible.
3. Explaining departures from a general rule. Establishing what sentences can play the role of possible correct answers to a given why question is one thing; finding an acceptable answer to this question is another.
Let us come back to the beginning of this paper. The analyzed cognitive situation was as follows: although all the initial conditions of a general rule were fulfilled by an object a, the outcome that took place was R(a), where R(a) is defferent from E(a) predicted by the rule (and was such that
is true). So we ask the question:
How can we find an acceptable answer to (4)? There is no recipe that can be applied in all cases. But the following advice can always be given: look for an abnormic hypothesis which has R among its antonymic predicates and which completes the general rule. If there is no such a hypothesis, try to infer it in a legitimate way from your knowledge.
There are cases in which we can deduce a certain possible correct answer to the why question directly from the relevant general abnormic hypothesis and the initial conditions. For example, if we have a general abnormic hypothesis in which R is associated with exactly one predicate P in the corresponding biconditional, i.e. the hypotesis contains the clause
then the sentence P(a) is logically entailed by the general abnormic hypothesis on the basis of the premises (I) and R(a). On the other hand, P(a) is a possible correct answer to (4) with respect to the general abnormic hypothesis and the background knowledge which contains, int. al, the statement (I) and the statement
(cf. Fact 1).
In many cases, however, no possible correct answer to (4) is entailed by the set made up of the general abnormic hypothesis, the statement (I) and the presupposition of (4); for conciseness, let us designate this set by U. But if R is an antonymic predicate of the general abnormic hypothesis which is associated in it with at least two distinct predicates, that is, R is identical with a certain Ri such that the general abnormic hypothesis contains the clause:
where s>1, then the set U logically entails the following disjunction of possible correct answers to (4):
On the basis of (6) we arrive at the following disjunctive question evoked by it:
From the question (7) on the basis of the premise (6) we can go to the following implied question:
If the affirmative answer to (8) is justified, an acceptable answer to the initial why-question (4) is found and the procedure is terminated. If, however, the negative answer to (8) is justified, then from the question (7) on the basis of the premise (6) and the negative answer to (8) we go to the implied question:
Again, if the affirmative answer to (9) is justified, the procedure is terminated since the success has been achieved; if the negative answer to (9) is justified, we go from (7) on the basis of (6) and the negative answers to (8) and (9) to the implied question:
And so on until an affirmative answer to a certain consecutive yes no question will be justified. In each case the next step (if any) is determined by the outcome(s) of the previous step(s) in the above indicated manner. Let us observe that if the sentence (6) is true, then at least one of the consecutive yes no questions must have a true affirmative answer. Yet, the sentence (6) is a consequence of a hypothesis and thus need not be true. If the procedure described above ends with the negative answers to all the consecutive yes no questions, the initial abnormic hypothesis needs revision. On the other hand, if an affirmative answer is justified, the degree of confirmation of the abnormic hypothesis rises.
An accepted answer to the question (4) is the necessary premise which makes possible a deductive nomological explanation of the analyzed departure from the general rule on the basis of the relevant abnormic hypothesis and the premises (I) and (II).
The considerations presented so far pertained to general abnormic hypotheses. The situation is similar in the case of special abnormic hypotheses.
4. Validity of erotetic steps. The procedure described above involved erotetic arguments (e arguments for short), that is, arguments which have questions as conclusions, whereas the premises are declarative sentences and/or questions. But are they valid e arguments? The answer depends on the meaning of the term "validity." It can be shown that they are valid in the sense of inferential erotetic logic.4 The question (7) is evoked by the sentence (6) (in the technical sense of the term "evocation"; cf. Appendix below) and thus the transition from (6) to (7) is a valid e argument, since in the case of e arguments which have declaratives as premises and questions as conclusions validity is defined in terms of evocation. Similarly, the consecutive yes no questions which occur in the procedure described above are implied (also in the technical sense of the word) by the initial question (7) and the corresponding declarative premise(s). On the other hand, validity of an e argument in which the conclusion is a question, whereas the set of premises consists of a question and a set of declaratives, is defined in terms of (erotetic) implication. For details, see Appendix below.
Let L be a formalized language which consists of two parts: assertoric and erotetic. The assertoric part of L is a first order language. As far as the assertoric part of L is concerned, the concepts of term, atomic well formed formula, (declarative) well formed formula (d wff for short), freedom and bondage of variables, etc., are defined as usual; by sentences of L we mean d wffs of L without free variables. Questions are the meaningful expressions of the erotetic part of L; at this moment we do not decide, however, what is the particular form of questions of L. Yet, we assume that to each question Q of L there is assigned an at least two element set dQ of direct answers, which are sentences of L. We also assume that the assertoric part of L is supplemented with a standard model theoretical semantics with the concepts of interpretation, satisfaction, truth, etc., defined in the usual way, and that the class of all the interpretations of L includes a non empty subclass (not necessarily a proper subclass) of normal interpretations. Then we introduce the concept of multiple conclusion entailment:
Evocation is defined by:
Thus X evokes Q just in case Q is sound (has a true direct answer) in each normal interpretation of L in which all the d-wffs in X are true, but no direct answer to Q is entailed by X. Roughly, X evokes Q iff the truth of the elements of X guarantees the soundness of Q and Q is not logically redundant with respect to X.
An e argument of the first kind is an ordered pair <X, Q>, where X is a non empty and finite set of d wffs and Q is a question. We say that an erotetic argument <X, Q> is valid iff E (X, Q).
Erotetic implication is defined by:
Roughly: Q implies Q1 on the basis of X just in case Q1 is sound if Q is sound and X consists of truths, and Q1 is in each case cognitively useful with respect to Q on the basis of X, that is, each direct answer to Q1, if it is true and if all the d-wffs in X are true, narrows down the class within which a true direct answer to Q can be found.
An e argument of the second kind is an ordered triple <Q, X, Q1>,
where Q, Q1 are questions and X is a finite set of d wffs.
An e argument <Q, X, Q1> is valid
Let us now be more specific. Let L* be a language of the considered kind which has the language of Classical Predicate Calculus as its assertoric part. Assume also that the vocabulary of L* contains the signs: ?, {, }, which are erotetic constants of L*. A question of L* is an expression of L* of the form ?{A1, ..., An}, where A1, ..., An (n > 1) are nonequiform (i.e. syntactically different) sentences of L*. If ?{A1, ..., An} is a question, then the sentences A1, ..., An are the direct answers to this question. Suppose that each interpretation of L* is normal (and thus entailment amounts to logical entailment). Let B1, ..., Bn, where n > 1, be nonequiform (syntactically different) atomic sentences of L*. One can easily verify the following:
where i < n.
Thus we can say that the e arguments involved in the procedure described above are valid erotetic arguments5.

Colodny (ed.), Mind and Cosmos: Essays in Contemporary Science and Philosophy, vol. 3, Pittsburgh 1966, and reprinted with some corrections in Bromberger's book On What we Know We Don't Know: Explanation, Theory, Linguistics, and How Questions Shape Them, Chicago/ London/ Stanford 1992, pp. 75 100. We will use the later version here.
2 Following Bromberger's exposition, we will use one-place (i.e. monadic) predicates as constituents of abnormic hypotheses. As Bromberger points out, a generalization to n place predicates (n 0) is straightforward. Moreover, the results presented below would not change essentially if polyadic predicates were allowed (only the relevant questions and instantiations would have to be appropriately adjusted).
3 Contrary to, int.al., van Fraassen (cf. van Fraassen's The Scientific Image), in whose theory the crucial concept of "relevance relation" is left undefined.

A general introduction is presented in: Wisniewski, A., 'The logic of questions as a theory of erotetic arguments', Synthese 109, 1996, pp. 1 25.
5 The occurrence of valid e arguments is hardly surprising here; it may be shown that they play an important role in other explanatory procedures as well (cf. Kuipers, T.A.F., Wisniewski, A.,'An erotetic approach to explanation by specification', Erkenntnis 40, pp. 377 402).

Manhattanites have gained another reason to feel insufferably smug. This week, they learned they are the thinnest people in their state, and probably their entire country. America may be one big tub of lard, but not them! Compared to those fat slobs in the Bronx, they are paragons of fitness, health and virtue.
In Manhattan (as in the urban upper echelons of Canada, only more so), thin is a religion. It's a mark of status and prestige, not to mention ferocious dedication to fashion, dieting and working out. The thinnest people of all, no coincidence, also tend to be the richest. As the saying goes, the smaller the woman, the bigger the apartment.
Over in the chubby Bronx, social planners are raising the alarm. They're demanding more stores with fresh produce, better public transit, more parks, bans on trans fats and junk food in schools, more programs to promote physical activity, more public education about obesity, and lots more government money. In fact, the Bronx sounds an awful lot like Canada.
Thin was always in. But now, the social and public-health message is that fat is not simply a sign of sloth. It kills. The obesity epidemic is the greatest health crisis of the age. According to various health statistics (which are never consistent), between 17 per cent and 25 per cent of Canadian adults are obese. Thirty-six per cent of the adult population is overweight, or maybe two-thirds. Whatever. It's a catastrophe.
But is it? A new study based on Statistics Canada population data reaches an exceedingly awkward conclusion: People who are overweight live longer than people who are classified as "normal" weight. Not only that, people who are classified as significantly overweight also live longer.
The study, led by Statistics Canada's Heather Orpana, was devised to estimate the relationship between body mass index and mortality in Canadian adults. The database was nearly 12,000 people. The authors of the Canada-U.S. joint study adjusted for age, gender, smoking, physical activity and alcohol consumption. They found that the link between weight and mortality is relatively weak. The strongest finding was that underweight men are at greater risk than any other group.
But being overweight was associated with a 25-per-cent lower risk of dying. Being obese was associated with a 12-per-cent lower risk of dying. The risk for the most morbidly obese (who account for less than 3 per cent of all Canadians) was statistically the same as the risk for people of "normal" weight. The findings were published online in the research journal Obesity.
"Overweight may not be the problem we thought it was," said David Feeny, a senior investigator at Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Oregon, almost apologetically. "Overweight was protective." He added that agencies such as Health Canada might want to rethink the way they classify people's weight.
BMI - which is expressed as a simple height-weight ratio - has replaced the old insurance tables as the universal gauge for "healthy" weight. Its goalposts were recast in 1998, with the result that millions of previously healthy people were suddenly redefined as overweight. Today, a BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered "normal," a BMI of 25 to 29.9 "overweight," 30 to 34.9 "obese," 35 to 39.9 "severely obese" and over 40 "morbidly obese." By this measure, a 5-foot-4 woman is overweight at 146 pounds, obese at 175 lbs. and morbidly obese at 233 lbs. A 6-foot man is overweight at 184 lbs., obese at 221 lbs., and morbidly obese at 295 lbs. If you go by BMI, most Canadians in their 50s are too fat.
Is this study just a fluke? On the contrary. It confirms the findings of dozens of other large population studies that rarely get publicity. They all conclude that being overweight is not a problem, except at the extreme. In fact, a little extra padding is good for you.
"Decades of medical research that contradicts our popularized beliefs rarely reaches the public," says Sandy Swarcz, the brains behind the invaluable website junkfoodscience.com, where you can find a more detailed dissection of the Canadian results.
In 2005, another researcher, Katherine Flegel, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published another large study with similar findings. Prominent health experts were outraged, calling the research flawed. "There's not a lot of money in trying to debunk obesity, but a huge amount in making sure it stays a big problem," Patrick Basham, a professor of health-care policy at Johns Hopkins University, told The Associated Press.
Researchers and public-health authorities are heavily invested in obesity. So are major drug companies, which help fund influential bodies such as the International Obesity Task Force. The Canadian Obesity Network, which gets millions in government funding, lists dozens of leading drug companies as its "industry partners."
Here's more bad news for all those folks who are nagging us about our weight. The evidence is very clear that, unless you are morbidly obese with health problems, losing lots of weight is bad for you, not good.
For reasons that are not well understood, people who lose substantial amounts of weight, or go up and down on yo-yo diets, suffer long-term adverse health effects. Oprah is an absolutely terrible role model, along with all the folks featured on America's Biggest Loser. As one expert told Newsweek, "People show an improvement in short-term risk factors [blood pressure and blood sugar levels] but they die. I don't think that's a good outcome."
So who are the healthiest people of them all? Dear reader, they may well be people just like you - aging boomers who have reluctantly succumbed to middle-aged spread. Reubin Andres of the U.S. National Institute on Aging reviewed all the major population studies and found that people who gain a pound or so a year in middle age live the longest.
That extra weight is protective, especially for women. So relax. God doesn't want you to fit into your old jeans.
I am now obliged to add that none of this excuses bad eating habits or sloth. Diet and exercise - especially exercise - are clearly linked to health. But unless you are unusually thin or extremely obese - categories that describe less than 5 per cent of all Canadians - your weight doesn't matter too much. Despite the alleged obesity epidemic, our life expectancy continues to increase, and deaths by heart attack and stroke continue to decline.
Sadly, we're not likely to see headlines any time soon that say, "Ninety-five per cent of us have weight that is okay." Not when we're all convinced that socially, if not medically, we're too fat, and that we'd be vastly better off if only we could shed those extra 20 or 30 or 40 pounds. So just remember this: Those fashionably anorexic Manhattanites are the ones we envy. But the people in the Bronx will have the last laugh.Report Typo/Error
