On Insignificance
first published on May 3, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
The article proposes a typology of meaninglessness based on the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce: meaningless as indecipherable; as incomprehensible; and as uncanny. Each type is exemplified with reference to anecdotic semiotic experience gained while riding Japanese buses. Meaninglessness, however, is not insignificance. Insignificance is a much more disquieting anthropological condition, which the article describes with reference to two symmetrical processes: on the one hand, the euphoric passage from significance to insignificance, a passage meant as the "birth of new meaning"; on the other hand, the dysphoric passage from significance to insignificance, a passage which coincides with the alienation of human existence. Through several examples take from present-day societies, the article advocates for an active role of semiotics in warning human communities against the "emergence of insignificance" and its potential of violence and exploitation.

Numanities and Their Role in the Twenty-First Century
Three Questions Towards a New Era
first published on March 3, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
Despite the unquestionable importance of technological progress in twenty-first-century society, the decision by many political leaders worldwide to treat natural sciences as an almost exclusive priority betrays a terrible misconception of the complexity of the contemporary world. As the Renaissance cannot be reduced to Copernicus's or Galileo's brilliant contributions, or Enlightenment to the works of such giants as Newton and Cavendish, contemporary society will hardly be remembered as just a series of amazing software and gadget updates. There are three categories of questions today that only humanities are prone to answer. The first one, exploring the relations between subject and object mediated by the meaning of "property", ultimately concerns the discussion between legality and legitimacy. Not long ago, teenagers were still being sued by the giants of the Entertainment Industry for downloading songs, and the practice of mash-ups or remixing even now arouses huge polemics. The second one, focused on the self-representations of the subject, concerns the changing meanings (and representations) of identity and cultural borders in a globalizing world. Finally, the inter-subjective interactions are the centre of the political tensions between democracy and demagogy, two opposed categories that have often been presented as hardly distinguishable from each other.

Help! Is There a Semiotician on the Plane?
first published on February 24, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
"Please, we urgently need a semiotician!" is certainly not the most common request heard in a situation of emergency, yet a time may come when we realize that there are cases that a physician (or another scientist) cannot effectively deal with.Two passengers fight over the same space on a plane, to the point that the pilot is obliged to land and have the two contenders get off at the closest airport. Each of the humanities has a specific way to frame and seek to find a less disrupting solution to the problem. The present article argues that the specific contribution semiotics can and must give to present-day societies is that of providing discursive evidence that problems that fall in the domain of language cannot be solved by technology, no matter how smart it might be, but rather can be solved only via communication as such: talking, compromising, finding agreements.

Musical Performance As an Intermedial Affair (A Case of a Pianist)
first published on February 22, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
The professional profile of a performer does not only consist of mere music playing, but calls into question a number of variables of private and public, musical and extra-musical articulation. Performers have their own personality and inclinations; they are exposed to different forms of education and influences; they develop certain technical and stylistic abilities; they find certain repertoires more suitable than others; they confront themselves with composers and their requests/indications; they have to take into account social demands to given repertoires; they also, intentionally or not, develop a public persona; finally, and particularly nowadays, they create a number of media interfaces that allow the public to access all the previously-listed features. The present article focuses on new media communication, particularly "official websites", as one of such media interfaces (and one of the most important ones, in present-day society): the various semiotic strategies of visual, linguistic and audiovisual representation of this medium will be applied to the case of the Lithuanian pianist Andrius Žlabys.

Our Responsibility to Future Generations in the Context of Ecological Crisis
Perspectives and Future Challenges
first published on February 22, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
The present article aims to present how the different philosophical perspectives have tackled the problem of the foundations of our responsibility to future generations in the context of ecological crisis. The main theories addressed here will be Hans Jonas metaphysical foundation, utilitarianism, communitarianism, the rights theory and contractarian perspectives derived from John Rawls's theory. By assessing these perspectives, I assert that, against jonasianianism and related perspectives, our responsibilities to future generations must be thought of in terms of "political, not metaphysical". The foundation of these responsibilities must be based, not on God, nor compassion, nor benevolence, nor identity sentiments, but on a conception of ourselves as rational and reasonable persons. From my point of view, we must find our responsibilities to future generations in our respect for their necessities and interests as well as in the maintenance of their available opportunities. This point of view allows us to point out some of our future challenges in the intergenerational justice scope.

Humanities in the Digital World / Or Digital in the Humanities?
first published on February 16, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
"Humanities in the digital age", more than a topic, is today a genre in itself: an academic anxiety, a compromise, an opportunity for a new epoch, or the demise of a traditional ability to introspect. Browsing the literature on debates, research, experiments and future is overwhelming, and every other day we witness the closing down of a traditional humanities subject, or we see funding being diverted to the technological experiments in humanities. It becomes imperative to engage with this revolution, also called 'digital humanities'. What to do in the wake of this new epoch? Do we resist, not 'serving' the system, or do we participate in creating a new digital humanities experience? The answer is difficult, particularly in the context of future generations who, as 'digital natives', cannot look back. There is merit to the anxieties with regard to the neo-capitalist enterprises that threaten to obliterate the fundamental tenets of the humanities. At a crossroads today are the academic departments, but at ease with new technologies are the younger generations. This article is one step towards discovering views, stating pros and cons, and looking into the kaleidoscopic spread of the humanities in the digital world. Or the digital in the humanities world … only future will tell.

Questionable Foundations and Quality in the Humanities
first published on February 16, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
Information, knowledge and understanding, history/tradition and novelty, fashion and science, show business and intellectual product are the contexts to review in order to answer the question why humanities have been losing credibility and have come under the hammer. The present article, informed by philosophers like Bertrand Russell and Mary Midgley, authors like Charles K. Ogden and Ivor A. Richards, semioticians like Algirdas Greimas and Roland Barthes and classical English literature, argue that the problem originates between the continuity of thought and indoctrination, between the stance of Rectors of universities and henchmen in the politics of market economy, and it is best exemplified by the caricature of humanities in some universities resulting from the implementation of the courses of technical skills. Knowing that humanities have been prized for intellectual attainment (Lincoln Barnett, Paul Goodman), their precarious state seems to depend on unbalanced philosophical, ethical, educational and economic principles. With economy being the factor which is hard to dispute, political and ethical principles tend to invite a revision because of a traceable tendency to promote the production of the manageable rather than the enlightened.

Replacing Descartes's "Thinking Thing" With Deely's "Semiotic Animal"
Resolving Our Species Sustainability Dilemma and Establishing the Semiotic Age
first published on January 19, 2017
Full Text(PDF)
French mathematician and natural philosopher René Descartes in the early seventeenth century developed his "thinking thing" definition of human being. This ontological construct that places the rational intellect of mankind as separate and superior to the natural world became the centerpiece of the Enlightenment and established the Modern Age. Descartes's definition underlay the scientific and industrial revolution, colonialism, and the cultural imperialism of the West to become globalized along with modernity. With the marvelous technological advances of the worldwide spread of modernity also came devastating climate change and massive biodiversity loss that threatens our species sustainability. The American philosopher John Deely in the early twenty-first century developed his "semiotic animal" definition of human being that places our species within the natural world while being endowed with a unique responsibility toward its preservation and restoration. Deely's definition is viewed as in consonance with our sustainable Paleolithic animistic ontological orientation centered on accurately interpreting relational being while going beyond it through clarifying the semiotic processes involved in accurate discernment of sustainable activities. It is asserted that replacing Descartes's thinking thing definition with Deely's semiotic animal and globalizing it through contemporary communication technology such as the Internet will launch a Semiotic Age and resolve our sustainability crisis.

From Maritain's Thoughts on the Micro-sign to the Science of Semiotics
first published on December 29, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Jacques Maritain's discussion of the micro-sign leads us to question how signs get interpreted, from the least to the most complex forms of communication, while John Deely's treatment of both cenoscopic and ideoscopic interpretation lies in the distinction between attraction, repulsion, and indifference. I add the key concept of inter-reaction, symbiosis, that allows for cooperation within and among all organisms. Using quantum physics and cathexis to delve the mystery of cellular sign values and beyond, we, the semiotic animal, better comprehend our own nature and that of the living world through semiotics.

The Unleashing of John Deely's "Semiotic Animal"
first published on December 29, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Our purpose in this essay is twofold: to explore John Deely's "semiotic" or "contextualized animal" as also a "contextualizing animal", one that not only responds in context but one that changes first the context so as later to change itself—as all living things do; and to explore how this context-shifting "semiotic animal" has caused to emerge the very "signs upon which", as Deely writes, "the whole of life depends". Environmental ethics are inseparable from personal ethics, then, because (1) we are in fact ourselves environments for others, (2) we carry models of our environments within us (our genetic / ontogenetic selves), and (3) even our free will (the basis of ethical choice) is an "environmental" phenomenon, as Martin Heisenberg argues in Nature (14 May 2009: 164–165) and as Deely writes in Semiotic Animal: "signs do not fall strictly among the things objectified by perceptions of sense but act prior to that perception to enable it to reconstruct the physical environment along objective lines that are meaningful to the species" (Semiotic Animal: A Postmodern Definition of Human Being Transcending Patriarchy and Feminism [2010]: 119)

The Semiotic Species
Deelying with Animals in Philosophy
first published on November 24, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Animals are treated in philosophy dominantly as opposed to humans, without revealing their independent semiotic richness. This is a direct consequence of the common way of defining the uniqueness of humans. We analyze the concept of 'semiotic animal', proposed by John Deely as a definition of human specificity, according to which humans are semiotic (capable of understanding signs as signs), unlike other species, who are semiosic (capable of sign use). We compare and contrast this distinction to the more standard ways of drawing the distinction between humans and animals.

Analogy and the Semiotic Animal
Reading Marshall McLuhan with John Deely
first published on November 24, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Thanks to a helpful tetradic diagram found in the expanded fifth edition of John Deely's Basics of Semiotics, in which the context and circumstances of a sign's utterance (in addition to the sign-vehicle itself and the immediate object of the sign) is distinguished from all that is explicit in the sign itself apart from the context and circumstances of its utterance, it is possible to bring Deely's insights to bear upon the semiotically suggestive work of Marshall McLuhan. McLuhan's implicitly semiotic understanding of analogy is structurally present in his efforts to visually articulate the "laws of media" with his own "tetrad" diagrams. Deely's discussion of the irreducible triadicity of signs therefore illuminates McLuhan's attempt to understand how analogical thought actually works on the most fundamental structural level in the cognition of the semiotic animal. There is a unique cognitive syntax to analogy, which is operative in the animal that Deely has most appropriately identified as "the semiotic animal". This article discusses McLuhan's understanding of analogy in terms of its figure/ground structure, by using the example of the thermometer from Deely's Basics of Semiotics. In relating this example to McLuhan's tetrad, it is shown how McLuhan's implicitly semiotic analysis can also increase our semiotic understanding of other technological tools, such as Skype videoconferencing.

How Fit is the Semiotic Animal?
first published on October 26, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
How did the Semiotic Animal come to be? Do semiotic analyses of possible evolutionary trajectories allow us to understand how the Semiotic Animal developed a need for meaning in its life? This paper discusses what role built environments have on semiosis and how they might impact on what can be called semiotic fitness over time. Through the lens of evolutionary semiotics, biosemiotics and ecosemiotics, the question of "what is semiotic fitness?" will be dissected in order to understand what impact epigenetic fakeness and bloated signs might have on the Semiotic Animal.

Analogy Reframed
Markedness, Body Asymmetry, and the Semiotic Animal
first published on October 12, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
The evolution of arm-leg relationships presents something of a problem for embodied cognitive science. The affordances of habitual bipedalism and upright posture make our two sets of appendages and their interrelationships distinctively human, but these relations are largely neglected in evolutionary accounts of embodied cognition. Using a mixture of methods from historical linguistics, Cognitive Linguistics and linguistic anthropology to analyze data from languages around the world, this paper identifies a robust, dynamic set of part-whole relations that emerge across the human waistline between upper and lower appendage sets cross-culturally. The general pattern—identified as "arm-leg syncretism"—provides a plausible primary source for the uniquely human penchant for creative analogy, or "double-scope conceptual blending", said to underlie the human language faculty (Fauconnier and Turner 2002, 2008; Deely 2002; Anttila 2003; Bybee 2010). This account not only addresses a conspicuous gap in the literature but also enables us to better understand what it means to be human—including how we came to be unique among other species and how we are still vitally interrelated with other species. Deely (2010) blends both sides of this tension into a single phrase: "the semiotic animal". The paper further develops this distinction by drawing attention to one of the roles upright posture played in the emergence of semiotic consciousness.

Semiotic Animal on the Path of Evolutionary Love
first published on October 6, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
John Deely uses the way of signs not only to establish the contact and dependencies between human thought and action and the surrounding physical universe, but also to account for a social construction of reality as part of human experience beyond mere "thinking thing". Experiencing evolutionary love is a reciprocal exchange of desire, which is the primary strength of Eros, where eroticism and semiotics intertwine. When Deely states that all animals signify, but only human animals are capable of developing semiotics, he opens a whole way of understanding for us to move beyond the definition of human being as a rational animal into a "semiotic animal" that is also capable of love.

A Logic Without Nominalism
Existential Assumptions on the Aristotelian Square of Opposition Revisited
first published on February 11, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
The logical structure of the categories may be seen in the three fundamental oppositional relations assumed by the traditional formal logic of Aristotelian syllogistic. These fundamental oppositional relations are currently preserved in Term Functor Logic (TFL) but not in Modern Predicate Logic (MPL). Derivations of the immediate inferences traditionally permitted on the Aristotelian square of opposition are made using the rules of TFL in order to contrast TFL's logical capabilities with those of MPL. It is argued that logic does not need any existential assumptions for a proper interpretation of the square; rather, all that is required are the three oppositional assumptions preserved in TFL but not in MPL. After considering TFL in relation to Peirce's existential graphs, three suggestions are made: Firstness is most fundamentally understood in logical terms as the contrary opposition of terms; secondness is most fundamentally understood in logical terms as the predicative opposition of predicates affirmed or denied; and thirdness is most fundamentally understood in logical terms as the quantitative opposition of subjects. A famous example from Socrates in Plato's Apology is used to illustrate these claims.

Kandinsky and Chernikhov
Point, Line, and Plane
first published on February 6, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
The artist Wassily Kandinsky and the architect Jacob Chernikhov have similar theories and philosophies that they apply to the following elements in their work: point, line, plane, color, and form. They use these elements to create a systematic method of building complex symbols to form a new visual language. Kandinsky and Chernikov incorporated into their philosophies diagrammatic reasoning in order to build a logical program or scientific method for architecture and design. The philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic, particularly his discussion of icon, index and symbol, will help to clarify how Kandinsky and Chernikov form emotional, dynamical architecture and art.

Iconicity in Verse
Overview, Examples, and Challenges
first published on February 5, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
The aim for this article is to outline a typology of iconicity in verse, ranging from Form miming form to Meaning miming form/meaning. Verse here means the occurrence of rhythmical devices, such as meter, and the division into lines and stanzas. As a starting point, the different possible appearances of 'representamens' in mainly twentieth-century poetry will be discussed, following Elleström's (2010) distinction between visual material signs, auditory material signs and complex cognitive signs. In the article, verse is explored as a sensorically complex, mixed medium, because its 'representamens' frequently depend on both visual and auditory traits. Furthermore, it is important to stress that verse can be "form" in a phenomenological, sensorial sense, as well as more complex meaning. For example, the iconic sign in question could be based on the reader's awareness and identification of a certain stanzaic or metrical form and some of the acquired associations that comes with it. The contention is that iconicity in verse does not necessarily only stand for 'objects' which are already present due to symbolic signs.

Modern Medievalism
Rediscovery of the Medieval Reader
first published on February 5, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
This article looks at the medieval culture of reading, and suggests that medieval readership and modern reading strategies have significant points of contact including a tolerance for ambiguity, engagement with chains of intertextuality, and an embrace of the fragmentary nature of knowledge. It argues that the medieval reader was not a superstitious bumpkin, but rather a sophisticated interpreter within a complex system of signification. The medieval reader engaged in sophisticated coding, decoding, and recoding. While this article argues for similarity of strategic modes of reading between the medieval scholar and modern reader, similarities should not be mistaken for equivalencies. Where the modern reader embraces intertextuality for its own sake, the medieval reader's assumption of divine truth served as an anchor to the chain of intertextuality. This article examines Umberto Eco's reading of Dante's theory of language to give us insight into medieval approaches to signification, and applies those insights to St. Augustine's Confessions. As one of the "four doctors" of the Catholic Church, Augustine served as a model of readership for many theologians to follow. St. Augustine's practices of readership and signification would establish a practice of reading as encoding and decoding sophisticated networks of signs.

Peirce's Doctrine of Man-Sign and its Logical Antecedents
first published on February 3, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
The aim of this paper is to point out certain features of Peirce's earlier logical thought which have bearing upon his thesis that man is a sign. After the brief overview of the thesis itself, attention is paid to Peirce's concept of the "unity of symbolization" (part I) and its relation to Kant's "unity of apperception" (part II). It is explained how Peirce understands apperception as bringing representations together, i.e., being represented together, and how this approach is in accordance with Peirce's general anti-psychological standpoint. The doctrine of man-sign is first seen as a result deduced from the hypothesis that laws of logic have primacy before the laws of the mind, and this result can then (part III) be seen as a further confirmation of that hypothesis. By showing that there is no substantial difference between consciousness and other species of signs, Peirce is able to work out the notion of knowledge not bound to individual consciousness but to all-encompassing community of inquirers.

Reading Literature
From Decoding to Remodeling
first published on February 3, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Understanding, empathizing, sympathizing, communicating, knowing, and changing, attained through reading literature, are all natural human needs for survival. Survival in its broadest meanings, in Sebeok's sense, involves all kinds of activities for improving life. Taking reading literature as a special competence for surviving, a quality/competence specific to humans alone, necessitates two primary activities: awareness and modeling. Awareness refers to humans' knowing the very fact that they are in a persistent state of needing. Modeling refers to the very need for semiotic strategies so that they can use any natural human activity, such as cognitive and emotional interaction, in any process of interpretation. If the reader treats her/his reading activity as naturally purposive and meaningful, s/he will be able to model this activity so as to maximize the benefits. Knowing the benefits implied in reading literature, the reader will consciously or unconsciously categorize all aspects of this activity in various forms and models. Modeling in this sense is organizing knowledge, but also concretizing knowing. Thus, reading literature improves the readers' relations with their environment by knowing more about the way humans think, but also by generating new texts, namely, producing new ways of knowing. Knowing authors' knowing is one of the major purposes of reading literature. Knowing of knowing is the naturalizing process of the culture, and as such it is a question of anthroposemiotics. The anthropsemiotic approach to reading literature is not concerned with understanding itself but the way we conduct understanding and the use of such an understanding. Producing new meanings and new ways of knowing from existing knowledge is undoubtedly an evolutional property specific to humans as verbally communicative organisms.

Reality Beyond Humanities-Science Schism
Revealing the Mutuality of Design and Semiotics
first published on January 27, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
What we perceive is not reality itself but reality exposed to our way of perceiving. By relying on the autonomous separation between humanities and science, we seem to have developed a tendency to experience reality in ways that enable us to perceive more of what we value. More than the traditional disciplines of the two dominant cultures of humanities and science, design transcends our assumptions about reality and reveals the hidden connection between factual information and imaginative interpretation. Reality in a transmodern world is a hyperreality, where human beings are able to transform what has been in existence by design. The mutual interrelation between design and semiotics provides the opportunity not only to cross the perceived boundaries among the real, the true, and the imaginary, but also to overcome the humanities-science schism.

Instinctive Wisdom and Trauma-Driven Abductions
first published on January 21, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Trauma and Peircean abduction are topics that seem worlds apart, and yet it is my view that bringing them together potentially might pay dividends both for the study of trauma and for the study of abduction. A necessary point of departure for the critical articulation I have in mind is the positing of a common ground: in what sense, if any, does the making of abductive inferences intersect with psychological/cognitive processes underlying traumatization? The key to answering this question is the decision to focus on a hitherto unexamined subcategory of abductive inferences: trauma-driven abductions. In this essay, having briefly discussed materials from trauma studies and from abduction studies that help to contextualize the possibility of trauma-driven abductions, I will explore their pertinence to a perennial puzzle in abduction studies, Peirce's insistence in his later writings that abduction is both inferential and instinctive. Developing the suggestiveness of an example provided by the Peirce scholar Christopher Hookway to illustrate how an abduction may inspire uncontrollable belief without ceasing to be reasonable, I will show how materials from trauma studies allow us to specify how instinct shapes the creation/selection of abductive speculations in special cases where the surprising facts initiating hypotheses are composed of environmental cues evocative of extreme fear. In this way my essay provides new support and clarification for Peirce's insight that instinct and inference are both integral to the production of abductive hypotheses.

A System of 21 Classes of Signs as an Instrument of Inquiry
first published on January 6, 2016
Full Text(PDF)
Peirce's classes of signs are instruments of inquiry, and, as such, they have an effective analytical power. We can find in Peirce's texts four systems of sign classes that vary from having 3 to 66 classes. The system of 66 classes brings up the idea that to better represent a sign process, it would be necessary to consider an aspect of the sign before considering the relation that involves that aspect. However, if one observes the trichotomies in the system of 10 sign classes, this method, which seems very reasonable, cannot be applied, for before considering the sign-object and the sign-interpretant relation, Peirce only proposes the examination of the sign itself. Considering the development of Peirce's semiotics, I propose to look back to the system of 10 classes and add to it the trichotomies that will allow the consideration of every aspect of a relation in itself before examining it within the relation. This process brings up a system of 21 classes of signs, which will be suggested as an instrument of inquiry. The aim of this paper is not only to deduce the system of 21 classes, but also to allow the reader to understand how each class represents a step in a semiotic inquiry. With that in mind, I will work on an example of how to proceed with a semiotic analysis using the system of 21 classes.

Everyday Semiotics
The Paradox of a Universal Discipline
first published on December 15, 2015
Full Text(PDF)
The marginal status of semiotics in society and the academic world is a paradox. Semiotics is not only relevant to every field of inquiry, but is a universal aspect of everyday experiences. Yet even among those that advocate the study of signs, the notion of calling semiotics an academic discipline is controversial. Like any academic area, the language and concepts of semiotics exclude the uninitiated. Ironically, just as the study of semiotics predicts, opinions and beliefs vary and disagreements commonly occur because of a tendency to interpret the world according to cultural habits rather than through critical logic supported by systematic and verifiable evidence. Especially in an age of global media, semiotics provides an effective way to examine messages representing ideas, and communicating values, beliefs, ideologies, and agendas. Keywords: paradox, cultural habits, critical logic, semiosis, semiotics

Why Semiotics? A Question Requiring a Fundamental Answer for Peirces Sake
first published on December 15, 2015
Full Text(PDF)
This address begins with a few historical considerations regarding the foundation of the Semiotic Society of America and how the founders came to define the purpose of the Society as that of advancing the study of signs. The question of what it means to ask "Why semiotics?" is then taken up, introduced, and framed within a strictly Peircean framework. How would Peirce have answered it, he the paramount logician of signs? Taking inspiration from his 1902 essay "Why Study Logic?", of Peirce's answer to that seminal question I extend important elements to semiotics understood as logic in a much broader sense than Peirce's 1902 conception of logic. Then I make it clear that Peirce's approach to our main question would have been as demanding and rigorous as the spirit in which he expected semiotics to be studied: in a genuine scientific spirit of fundamental inquiry. I expand about Peirce's conception of fundamentality, and then show how it entails properties that are common to a particular class of fundamental concepts Peirce called "continuous predicates". Taking advantage of a recent publication by Francesco Bellucci on the subject, I illustrate what makes continuous predicates so special, and how it is that Peirce's general definition of a sign relation conforms exactly to the inherent form of continuous predicates. This has a direct consequence on the definition of semiotics itself, and thus on the expression of its most fundamental purpose, which is then spelled out. The address concludes with considerations about what it would take to accomplish such a fundamental purpose.

Are you interested in becoming a fighter jet pilot? Different countries, different rules. This infographic is based on the US Air Force and US Navy. The main path for young aviation enthusiasts is through the US Air Forces Academy and the US Naval Academy. Military pilots belong to the most respected elite groups within the U. S. Armed Forces
Current US fighter jets (and such in service soon are): General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, McDonnell Douglas/Boeing F-18 Hornet, McDonnell Douglas/Boeing F-15 Eagle, A-10 Thunderbolt and of course the 5th generation Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and its smaller brother, Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. All of them are nice aircraft, but the numbers of fighter pilots needed are shrinking along with the shrinking number of fighter planes. The newly developed stealth fighters, the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II are so expensive developments that the numbers has been repeatedly cut, which leds to an even higher cost per piece. For the F-22 the figures reached USD 400m per fighter aircraft ordered now, that's more than a Airbus A380 super jumbo.
For those who do not end in a fighter jet cockpit: There are of course further options – unfortunately not as cool as the fighter pilots shown in "Top Gun": For example UAV or helicopter pilot. And there is also an option to experience "Top Gun for a Day": MiGFlug subsidiary FlyFighterJet.com offers flights in real fighter jets for civilians.
Philipp Schaer is Co-Founder and Managing Partner at MiGFlug & Adventure GmbH. MiGFlug and its US subsidiary brand FlyFighterJet.com are specialized in fighter jet rides for civilians. Apart from "tourist" fighter jet flights, MiGFlug and its subsidiaries also offer suborbital space flights, weightlessness flights and historic flying and Warbird rides in P-51 Mustang and other classic Warbirds.

Rare Virginia Rocket Launch to Light Up East Coast Monday
Millions of people from South Carolina to Massachusetts should be able to view an Orbital ATK Inc. rocket blasting from a Virginia launch pad toward orbit on Monday—weather permitting, of course.
Investors will be on the edge of their seats as well. The mission marks the first flight of Orbital's upgraded Antares rocket, which has been grounded since an earlier model was destroyed in a fireball in October 2014.
The rocket, laden with small satellites, supplies, and science experiments, should be launched at 7:40 p.m. local time. It is the company's sixth mission under a contract with NASA to deliver about 28,700 kilograms of cargo to the International Space Station.
The festivities will be live-streamed here. Fans of rockets and loud explosions can also view the takeoff from bleachers set up at the Wallops Island visitor center, four miles from the launch site. Others across the eastern seaboard can follow the spacecraft's progress by using this chart to calculate how soon after takeoff it will appear on the horizon.
Orbital and Elon Musk's SpaceX share the first commercial contracts to ferry cargo to the ISS, part of a NASA program simultaneously to foster private space flight and to resupply the orbiting lab after the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. Results so far have been mixed. Both Orbital and SpaceX cargo capsules have been destroyed in accidents while en route to the station.
Orbital upgraded the Antares with new engines after an earlier model exploded 15 seconds into a commercial resupply mission to the space station on Oct. 28, 2014. The Dulles, Va.-based company had launched capsules atop United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket while its own rocket was grounded.
The explosion wasn't the only recent mishap for Orbital. The aerospace manufacturer has also been working to rebuild investor confidence after disclosing in August that it would have to restate operating results for 2015 because of an accounting error. Flight systems make up the company's second-largest business, accounting for about one-third of its revenue.
The company's stock may follow a similar trajectory to the rocket. Deutsche Bank analyst Myles Walton rated Orbital a "buy'' last month, anticipating shares would rise following a successful supply run to the space station. The morning after the 2014 crash, the stock sank 14 percent.
That's incentive enough to turn investors into space geeks, if only for an evening.

Roundtable – Teaching Human Rights: Challenges And Best Practices, 2017 Simon Fraser University
Roundtable – Teaching Human Rights: Challenges And Best Practices, Shayna Plaut, Kristi Kenyon, Joel Pruce, William Simmons
The Social Practice of Human Rights: Charting the Frontiers of Research and Advocacy
Over the past 20 years, courses addressing human rights have grown dramatically at both the undergraduate and graduate levels worldwide. Many of these courses are housed in specific disciplines, focus on specific issues, and require practical experience in the form of internships/practicums. Amid this growth there is a need to reflect on teaching human rights including the challenges, fears, and best practices.
Recognizing that education takes place inside and outside a classroom, this roundtable brings together scholars teaching human rights in a variety of settings to examine the current state of university human rights education. This includes a discussion ...

Integrating The Scholarship Of Teaching, Learning And Assessment Into One Institution'S Homegrown Professional Learning Resources, Maria Northcote, Anthony Williams, Kevin Petrie, John Seddon, Sherene Hattingh
Adventist Online Learning Conference / Conferencia de Aprendizaje en Línea
Many professional learning (PL) programs in universities aspire to support tertiary educators to perform duties associated with teaching, student learning and assessment. Additionally, because much of a university academic's work is associated with conducting scholarly research and supervising students' research, PL programs also need to provide support associated with supervision and research activities. Faced with these multiple PL demands, one small Australian higher education institution developed a suite of resources to support faculty teaching staff and researchers in their professional capacities using a heuristic (self-determined) approach to resource development. The content of the resources drew on the principles of ...

Many universities have instituted professional learning centres that support academic teaching staff in their capacity to facilitate student-centred learning. Some of these centres also extend their reach to incorporate scholarship and research. This paper reports on one such case, in which a small higher education institution in Australia established what has become known as the Centre for Advancement of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL). From its inception, the CASTL's intentions have been multi-dimensional, in that its programs, activities and resource development span the following areas of scholarship: 1) learning and teaching; 2) researcher education and support of ...

The transition from school or work to university studies is not always a smooth change for many students. The university context may appear threatening, strange and isolating for some students, whether the courses be offered in on-campus or online contexts. While most modern day universities offer a raft of support services for students, including both academic and non-academic services, problems of low retention and high attrition rates still plague some institutions and some sections of particular institutions in the higher education sector. This paper presents an innovative program that uses technology-supported strategies within a regular learning management system (LMS) to ...

Reinventing Translation: Toward A Common Language For Scholar-Practitioners, 2017 Books@Work (That Can Be Me, Inc.)
Reinventing Translation: Toward A Common Language For Scholar-Practitioners, Ann Kowal Smith, Karen R. Nestor
Engaged Management ReView
Translation starts in one language, and converts to a second. But it doesn't change the languages or the people who "speak" them. We propose – instead of translation – the joint development of theory and practice that becomes a common language – a common language of a community of scholar-practitioners. This paper describes the work of two scholar-practitioners committed to addressing a pressing problem of practice: the educational attainment and skills required for positive outcomes in the 21st century workplace. This paper considers the original design and implementation of an innovative, theory-based workplace learning initiative (Books@Work) and, arising from this work ...

According to a report by The Institute of Medicine, medical errors were associated with up to 98,000 deaths and more than 1 million injuries each year in the United States. These errors can result in poor outcomes, which increase harm or death. According to the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System, up to 15% of errors reported cite automated dispensing cabinets as the source of the drug involved in the error.Nearly 58% to 70% of hospitals nationwide use automated dispensing cabinets. Nurses play a critical role in promoting patient safety by surveilling and intercepting any possible errors that could ...
Generational Shift: Why We Should Modify Our Instructional Strategies For The Next Generations Of Aviators, 2017 Arizona State University
Generational Shift: Why We Should Modify Our Instructional Strategies For The Next Generations Of Aviators, Mary Niemczyk
National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)
Air transportation has proven to be an extremely safe, efficient and reliable means for travel – a testament to highly effective instruction and training. Airlines are forecasted to continue their rapid expansion over the next 20 years needing to hire more than 2 million aviation personnel (Boeing, 2015). As Baby Boomers retire, at the rate of 10,000 per day/4 million per year, a 'generational replacement' or shift will occur with Gen Y and Z members taking their places in the workforce.
Each generation is impacted by significant events during their developmental adolescent years. For Gen Y members, technological and ...
Flight Instructor Professionalism, 2017 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach
Flight Instructor Professionalism, Kenneth P. Byrnes Ph.D.
National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)
The inherent risk associated with aviation demands a high level of professionalism among aviation employees to ensure safety. Professionalism consists of factors such as technical competence, personal competence, neatness and attractiveness of dress, and personal conduct. Many of these factors are able to be taught, measured, or judged. However, conduct is an intangible quality that is not easily taught or quantified. As such, the professional behavior of aviation personnel is difficult for the FAA to mandate and regulate. An individual's conduct is a learned behavior that originates through culture, role models, and experience. In aviation, conduct is instilled during ...

Local Workforce Development Boards: Alignment With Operational Indicators And Behavioral Characteristics, 2017 University of Southern Mississippi
Local Workforce Development Boards: Alignment With Operational Indicators And Behavioral Characteristics, Sharon Humphreys Johnson
The ability of a region to remain competitively viable is dependent upon attracting new business and retaining existing businesses (Good & Strong, 2015). In many instances, regional growth depends on the workforce and the region's ability to develop a talent pipeline of existing or accessible workers (Blakely & Leigh, 2010). The passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) increases the expectations of local workforce board leadership. The WIOA vision for Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDB) is to serve as strategic leaders and act as conveners of regional workforce system partners, stakeholders, and businesses to develop new structures for working with regional economies, and engaging stakeholders to jointly lead the regional workforce system (Copus et al., 2014; Innovation and Opportunity Network, 2016).
This study examined how LWDBs align with exemplary LWDB operational indicators and effective nonprofit board behavioral characteristics, as perceived by LWDB members. In addition to LWDB member perceptions, private and public sector board member perceptions were compared to determine differences in perceptions between the two governing groups. A non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the research objectives. Purposive, expert, non-probability sampling was used to identify a finite population of LWDB members. A census ...
An Examination Of The Factors That Influence The Transfer Of Learning Among K-12 Educators Participating In Professional Learning Communities, 2017 University of Southern Mississippi
An Examination Of The Factors That Influence The Transfer Of Learning Among K-12 Educators Participating In Professional Learning Communities, Charcelor C. Mccullum
The purpose of this study was to investigate and identify the factors that either support or inhibit learning transfer among educators within K-12 professional learning communities (PLCs) as well as to obtain a better understanding of how adult education principles relate to teacher learning and job satisfaction within this environment. Although research regarding professional learning for educators within the K-12 setting is available, much of this research is not focused directly on adult education principles and often fails to examine learning transfer. The present study addresses both areas using a two-phase exploratory sequential mixed methods approach to obtain both qualitative ...

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Educational administration is such a demanding field, so it is important to understand why an aspiring principal would self-select to commit to an optional yearlong, intensive professional development activity with very little compensation and no promotion. Motivation may prove to be a key component of the recruitment and sustainability of professional development activities. By discovering the factors affecting both personal and professional motivation of beginning administrators to participate in a professional development led by the collaboration among the Tennessee Department of Education, Vanderbilt University, and Governor Bill Haslam, the researcher hopes to gain an understanding that may apply to future ...

Cultural Self-Identification Among Extension Educators' And Cultural Competence In Cooperative Extension, 2017 University of Nebraska - Lincoln
Cultural Self-Identification Among Extension Educators' And Cultural Competence In Cooperative Extension, Ruddy Y. Benavides
Public Access Theses and Dissertations from the College of Education and Human Sciences
As immigration and globalization are increasing, the number of people in our country who speak more than one language is also increasing (Center for Public Education, 2012). These trends are creating needs for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students and families in schools, specifically, the need for culturally responsive pedagogy and culturally competent teachers. In addition to formal educational contexts, non-formal educational contexts such as Cooperative Extension need to adapt to cultural changes as well. The purpose of this study was to explore the personal beliefs and professional experiences of present Extension Educators (EEs), and the techniques they practice in ...

Samsung Made Some Changes Recently, But Is That Enough To Keep Them From Losing Market Share
Samsung is one of the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world, if not the biggest one, This is a huge corporation and its sheer size and tech power are quite significant. We're talking about a company which not only manufactures smartphones, tablets and smartwatches, but makes refrigerators, microwaves, etc. Truth be told, different parts of this company do those things, I just wanted to point out how huge Samsung as a company really is. Anyhow, Samsung has been basically untouchable for a long time when it comes to smartphone sales. The company has been manufacturing tons of different Galaxy models and have been selling them like hotcakes all over the world. Samsung isn't doing all that great lately, don't get me wrong, they're still selling a lot of phones and are far from being in trouble or anything of the sort, but their market share is dropping.
More and more people are ditching the Galaxy phones for various reasons. Those who are tech-savvy might not like Samsung's UI and how bloated it is, and are either tired of copy / paste solutions by Samsung, are unsatisfied with the performance of the phones they buy or just have cheaper variants which are just as good as some Samsung products. I know a lot of people who have actually owned Samsung's devices but were unsatisfied with the performance of those devices and are now looking elsewhere for their phones. Truth be told these were not high-end devices and didn't run KitKat, but you know how people are, if they try something and it doesn't work as it should they just run away from it.
Wall Street Journal gave a great example when they interviewed He Wenzong which traded his Galaxy S3 smartphone for one of Xiaomi's offerings. "To me, it looks like it's the same quality, but one costs 2,000 Yuan ($327) and the other is 3,500 Yuan ($571). So why would I pick Samsung?" It seems like more and more people feel this way. Xiaomi is the number 1 smartphone manufacturer in China and is third biggest OEM in the world, which really says something. Xiaomi is not the only one who is doing great job offering affordable high-end devices though, Meizu, IUNI… and other Chinese manufacturers also produce such phones. Some of those devices are on par with Samsung's offerings as far as design quality and specifications go, if not better, but are almost almost half the price Samsung is asking for its top-notch smartphones and people are starting to realize that.
If you take a look at the chart below the article you'll see Samsung's and Xiaomi's market fluctuation and how Samsung has been losing market share lately. This Korean tech giant will have to change things up if they want to stay number 1 manufacturer in the world. I don't think they'll lose that place overnight, but if this trend continues Samsung might be in a tough place rather soon. It's good to see that the company has started introducing metal to its device builds, I personally would like for Samsung to seriously lower the amount of bloat they implement in their OS as well though. I know that's not a problem for most people, but I really can't stand it and I believe it's about time Samsung change it up a bit. I hope that the changes they're making to their recent devices will continue and that we'll see more good things from this Korean company, ti seems like they really needed this market share drop in order to get to their senses.

I have 700 klms on my 05 650r and now its time to dial in the suspension. Reading in the small riders manual it just gives a vague idea of what screw does what but does not say how many clicks per weight of rider. I am 240 pounds\108 kilos. I am 40 years old so i dont do a lot of jumping but love to mono and slide the bike. The only negative i find with the bike is when i brake hard mainly on the road the front dives real bad. Has anyone my weight out there dialled in there suspension?
I have to say that i love this bike. You can ride on the road and pop some sneeky wheelies and then jump the kerb and rip up someones earth somewhere. My best friend was going to buy the same bike at the same time but in the end he decided to buy a new firestorm road bike instead. Where i go riding i have to pass his place so i drop in afterwards to let him see the bike all covered in mud. I can see that he probably goes back inside when i go and does this

Aligned with the 2006 National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) Educational Competencies, (1) imagery and other motivational techniques are included as part of the psychomotor competencies and clinical proficiencies for students in accredited athletic training education programs. Specifically, cognitive competencies and proficiencies under the "Psychosocial Intervention and Referral" domain state that athletic trainers will "[d]escribe the basic principles of mental preparation, relaxation, visualization, and desensitization techniques" and "[s]elect and integrate appropriate motivational techniques (verbal motivation, visualization and imagery) into a patient's treatment or rehabilitation program." (1(p 39)) Prentice (2) and Walsh (3) advocated that certified athletic trainers (ATs) employ imagery to help athletes positively respond to their injuries and facilitate recovery. However, sport-specific imagery content prescriptions or what to image for facilitating return to play is rarely described in any rehabilitation context. Rather, the focus of imagery content seems to be on healing, pain management, and general performance imagery. (4,5) Although studies of imagery content related to rehabilitation exercises and healing are quite common, sport-specific imagery focusing on maintaining sport skills, facilitative arousal levels among injured athletes, strategies, and sport-specific goals has been virtually ignored, despite an applied model of mental imagery advocated by Martin et al. (6) This model suggests that positive outcomes, such as confidence, are achievable through the use of sport-specific imagery in rehabilitation settings.

I ordered some papers from them a few times and got pretty decent essays on time. And that's good cause I cant say at least the same about other services I used before.
This is the first time I've used a service like this. I'm glad I found this one. I reached a point where I'd completely ran out of ideas for my upcoming assignments. This guys helped me with two different papers. They really worked with me from start to finish.
They really saved me! I just finished my first "finals week" of college and I really had a difficulties managing all of my time trying to complete all of my final papers while also studying for my final tests.
I searched the internet desperately looking for some help with my final paper and I am so lucky that I came across this company. They helped me in a timely fashion and I was able to achieve a fantastic grade on my paper.
I will definitely use their services again, they were very helpful and professional!

I wish I was an expert on this, alas I am not. But I do know that speed work offers a variety of benefits to anyone who does it no matter what pace they are running. The purpose of speed work is to put stress on the bodies systems to mimic those that one would feel during a race to strengthen muscles and help the body build new neuro pathways that build muscles memory and strengthen the body over time. It allows us to become confident on our abilities, feel adjusted to running a faster pace, and for the bodies fast twitching muscles to gain strength.
It can come in the form of a tempo, intervals or fartleks and will vary based on the individual and the distance which they are training for. There were quite a few years of my adult running life where I eliminated any type of speed training from my workouts, in those years I never saw a PR nor did my body ever really make any physical gains in strength. It wasn't until I got back into running after a year of one injury after another that I begun to realize that speed sessions have a lot of benefits for the body.
- Improved stamina, or V02 Max. The body makes adaptations to the lactic that is being produced which helps create a higher lactic threshold, meaning we all can become one step closer to being like Dean Karnazes.
- Higher caloric burn. When the bodies systems are working harder to output energy in addition to maintaining normal body functions, then the rate at which calories are being burned increases. For anyone who is looking for weight loss, increased intensity will definitely help with that.
- Builds confidence. Speed sessions can be looked at as a practice for race day and can make an individual feel more comfortable in their abilities to run outside of their comfort zone.
- Recruits different muscles then easy runs. This is a HUGE benefit for long distance runners especially. Running is a great full body sport, but if we are running the same pace on every run we are calling the same muscles to do the same work, and this can cause imbalances in the bodies strength and not maximize our potential.
- Teaches the body to run more efficiently. Speed work is a great time to think about stride, turnover, and form. When we work on all of these pieces of the puzzle our bodies will make adjustments to doing the same tasks in a more effective manor at any pace.
- These workouts are not a race, pace yourself. A lot of runners take their speed work too hard, I know that I have a time or two. A great rule to remind yourself of when your legs are feeling extra speedy is that by the end of the workout you should feel like you have one more interval or mile left in you. If you don't and you end the workout feeling beat, this is a good sign that you may have taken the workout a bit too hard.
- Get in a good warm-up and cool-down.
- Focus on your form.
- Keep your breathing under control. If your breath becomes labored, you are most likely working too hard.
- Don't do too much too soon. For most people one speed session a week should be plenty. Allow a day or two for recovery and make slow increases in intensities.
- Run your own pace. It is easy when you are at the track or on a busy path to out run the other runners. Keep in mind that we all have a different pace which we feel comfortable at and we do not know what workouts other runners are taking on, so it is best to just focus on yourself and the gains that you yourself can take from the workout.
- Use this a great time to practice focusing. What works for me during speed sessions is that I picture myself on various parts of the course for my next upcoming race while repeating a mantra to myself. This allows me to set in my mind how I want to feel during the race and feel mentally prepared to take on whatever may come on race morning.
- Have fun! While this should feel harder then an easy run, it should also feel fun.
- Don't force a workout. Some days our bodies aren't just up for what is on our agenda. If a speed workout seems like too much for that particular day, take to an easy run and give the workout a try the next day.

Lael Morgan was in Sitka recently to discuss Ray Wise Mala, the first Native American film star in Hollywood, and the subject of her 2011 book "Eskimo Star", the reports.
Mala was the first Alaskan and Native American film star in Hollywood, and was referred to as the "Eskimo Clark Gable" due to a variety of major roles in big Hollywood films. Mala's biggest role was the lead in the 1934 film "Eskimo."
Morgan has been gathering notes on Mala's life since 1980. She "kept seeing photos about an extraordinarily handsome Eskimo prominently displayed in a number of home," she writes in the prologue of her book. That man turned out to be Mala.
Since she began her research, she has also been fielding questions from Mala's children on when she would write a book about him.
Although initially concerned that readers would not be interested in the life of "a totally decent guy," Morgan came to realize that Mala's life "did make for good reading," she told the.
Now the book has come to fruition, using her notes gathered over 30 years. Many of the sources she interviewed have since passed away. The 143-page book, published by Epicenter Press in 2011, includes photographs and movie posters of Mala; Morgan is proud of the book and hopes young Native Alaskans will be attracted to the book.
Mala's fans are also working on getting the actor's own star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
