It's a wonder I haven't been banned, or at least complained against
by anybody else but you. My interest has always been honesty and
open communications on this public list in the spirit of freedom.
You know - free to be you and me? If this is so offensively abusive
to you and others happening here, then I have other places to go.
Not a problem, Carol. Thanks for being so honest. - Steve

OK, this renewal impulse must differ in some form on how the regular
protestant denominations exercises the 'cultus' principal. That Rudolf
Steiner allowed himself to indicate how to best exercise this cult
principal - must mean that, somehow or another, it comes to reach more
directly to a specific goal.
I'm sorry, I've not sat in on a mass of the Christian Community - so I
can't really judge - though Mark W. did tell me that he, as an
Anthroposophist, was able to witness a little more of an Etheric
Christic manifestation in a Christian Community mass than what he could
come to see of 'IT' in a Catholic mass. (ex.the moment of the raising
of bread and wine).
A few years back, I attended a United Church Christmas mass with one of
my sisters. Through this 'form of cultus' I noticed that the Christic
principal presented itself solely as a 'personalized touch'.
I guess I'll have to eventually force myself to go to a Christian
Community mass to be able to derive for myself, my own personal
assessment of it.

(Note: The following contains spoilers for Doctor Strange.)
Doctor Strange introduced Dormammu and the Dark Dimension, but the mystic who sought them was Kaecilius and his group of Zealots. Unfortunately for Mads, his character was just a pawn and perished by the end of the movie.
Nevertheless, despite his drastic death, the mystic #Kaecilius could actually return in future films. Other characters in the #MCU we once thought dead, such as Loki and the Winter Soldier, returned stronger than before and I believe we can also add Kaecilius to that interesting list of survivors.
However, the real question is, should Kaecilius return?
The Many Ways That Kaecilius Could Return
Since Kaecilius is a lesser-known character with a vague history in the comics, his story in the MCU could go in a number of directions without fear of ignoring the source material. Additionally, since his story is rooted within the Doctor Strange mythology of dimensions and the mystic arts, there are countless entertaining ways Kaecilius could make a miraculous comeback.
It is true that Loki's death in Thor was a mere illusion (since we saw him later in a post-credit scene), but we have to acknowledge that the post-credit scene phenomenon started to really jump off after Thanos made his debut in #TheAvengers.
To many, myself included, it was a surprise that Loki was still alive. In the case of Bucky Barnes, when he fell to his death in Captain America: The First Avenger we expected to see him again as the Winter Soldier since that story line was one of the most popular in the comics.
But should the evil mystic make a comeback after we watched him perish by the hand of the dread #Dormammu? The answer is yes, he totally should, and for the following reasons.
Why Kaecilius Needs To Come Back
The main reason why Kaecilius should return is because of the importance of his role in the story of Doctor Strange -- and because he is played by the incredible Mads Mikkelsen! Stephen Strange became a hero because of Kaecilius, much like #Thor became a hero because of Loki.
I wouldn't be surprised if he returns as an incarnation of a well-known Marvel character, say, Nightmare or N'Gabthoth.
While Mordo may end up being more of a Loki to Strange's Thor, Kaecilius was also part of that brotherly mix. Their character dynamics are much like those of Bucky, Cap and Iron Man in Civil War.
The key to this entertaining relationship is the family ensemble dynamic and the return of Kaecilius would restore that.
Plus, Mikkelsen loves playing the character, and it would be a disappointment if he wasn't given the chance to reprise the role.
"Half of my life I was reading comic books and the other half I was watching Bruce Lee. So when Scott was pitching this story for me, I think 10 minutes within the pitch he said, and there's a lot of kung fu and flying stuff. I said, whoa, hold on, rewind. Look, babe, the kung fu, babe, I'm on. Let's go. It's a childhood dream coming true. It's a big honor to be here," Mikkelsen revealed at the Doctor Strange press conference in Los Angeles, California.
There's no shortage of kung-fu in Doctor Strange and Kaecilius was performing quite a bit of the fist-flying action. We need him back! An actor who loves his role and is as open as he was about his portrayal of his character should definitely be given the chance to return.

- 'Doctor Strange': Will The MCU Version Of Kaecilius Translate To Comics?
Could Kaecilius Return In Another Area of the MCU?
Mikkelsen is an outstanding actor whose love for comic books and martial arts shouldn't be limited to one MCU appearance.
His character can go in a number of directions and has a lot of untapped potential. Mikkelsen's Kaecilius should return, either in one of Marvel's TV shows, the upcoming Avengers movies or in one of the MCU's Phase 4 films.
Do you want to see Kaecilius return and battle Doctor Strange again -- or any other #superheroes who stand in his way?
Let me know in the comments and poll below!
Should Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius return to the MCU?
Doctor Strange is now playing in theaters.

Raimondi nets late winner
Cristian Raimondi netted a late header to give Atalanta a 1-0 victory over Gian Piero Gasperini's Palermo.
Last Updated: 23/09/12 5:08pm
Cristian Raimondi denied Gian Piero Gasperini any joy on his debut as Palermo manager with his late header earning Atalanta a 1-0 victory.
The former Inter Milan boss replaced Giuseppe Sannino at the Renzo Barbera following the Sicilians' winless start to the season, but the barren patch will extend to Wednesday night's trip to Pescara at the earliest.
For Stefano Colantuono's Atalanta, though, it was a second consecutive league win and their first home triumph of the new campaign.
Edgar Barreto scooped a shot high over the crossbar as the Rosanero went sniffing for an early goal but Davide Brivio came closer at the other end with a wildly swerving free-kick.
Atalanta pressed on and Luca Cigarini was unlucky not to notch following good work from Maximiliano Moralez.
With 31 minutes played, Barreto re-emerged as a dangerman for the Sicilians and Andrea Consigli did well to smother his goalbound effort.
Still Palermo came forward and Massimo Donati headed Josip Ilicic's cross wide before Arevalo Rios blasted wastefully over the bar.
Donati should have done better on the stroke of half-time when presented with a clear-cut chance, instead clipping his strike straight to Consigli.
German Denis was off target following the interval with the second half less frenetic than the first.
Barreto drew further jeers from the home faithful as he aimlessly mis-hit another good opportunity from outside the box as the hour mark ticked by.
Young loanee Giuseppe De Luca woke visiting keeper Samir Ujkani from his slumber but there was never any danger from Riccardo Cazzola's poor drive 10 minutes from time.
Palermo sat back, perhaps content with a single point for their efforts, but Raimondi punished their early profligacy with a bullet header with just two minutes remaining.

The Great Arc : The Dramatic Tale of How India Was Mapped and Everest Was Named Paperback
by John Keay
A vivid description of one of the most ambitious scientific projects undertaken in the 19th century, and the men who undertook the measurement of the Himalayas and the mapping of the Indian subcontinent: William Lambton and George Everest.The graphic story of the measurement of a meridian, or longitudinal, arc extending from the tip of the Indian subcontinent to the mountains of the Himalayas.Much the longest such measurement hitherto made, it posed horrendous technical difficulties, made impossible physical demands on the survey parties (jungle, tigers, mountains etc.), and took over 50 years.
But the scientific results were commensurate, including the discovery of the world's highest peaks and a new calculation of the curvature of the earth's surface.The Indian Mutiny of 1857 triggered a massive construction of roads, railways, telegraph lines and canals throughout India: all depended heavily on the accuracy of the maps which the Great Arc had made possible.

Review by iftyzaidi
Interesting account of one of the major scientific projects of the 19th century - the trigonometric survey of India known as "The Great Arc" carried out by British surveyors. The project lasted decades and was overseen by two men, the second of whom, Colonel John Everest was recognized by having Mount Everest (actually pronounced Eve-rest) named after him. An interesting story for those who are interested in the history of the region, of the British empire, or in geography. Others may find it dry and tough going, even though it is fairly short.
Review by RajivC
This is one more of John Keay's little gems, and like his other book "Into India", this does the name of specific Britons a great favour. I did know that Mount Everest was named after George Everest, but I did not know the story of George Everest and Lambdon. When I read the book, I doffed my imaginary hat at the two gentlemen several times. What they achieved, is something outstanding. Given the nature of the instruments that they had, and the difficulties of traveling in India, only passion and scientific rigor could have helped them achieve the almost impossible.John Keay's book does great service to these forgotten heroes. He brings out the enormity of their task with clarity, and without sounding bombastic in the least. He brings their contrasting characters to life, and I am left with the feeling that we, in India, are in debt to these gents, and it is a shame that they have been so totally forgotten. Everest, at least, has a mountain named after him, whereas it was difficult for John Keay to even find Lambdon's grave in the central part of India. This is a brilliant book, written in a manner that is revealing and pithy. Read it. I am glad I bought it, even though I chanced upon it by accident, and bought it out of a whimsy. I am glad I did.

Re: Henry Weyer 1850-1921of Ohio and Indiana
In reply to:
Re: Henry Weyer 1850-1921of Ohio and Indiana
Andrew Weyer 8/11/01
There is an oral family history that contains reference to a sister of Henry Weyer's unknown father whose name is Maggie Ault.Maybe she was a sister-in-law instead.She would have been an Aunt to Henry regardless if she was a sister or sister-in-law to Henry's father.
The family tradition also says Henry's father supposedly was the owner of a grist mill near BelAire, OH.When Henry's father died before the children were of legal age, the grist mill was "taken away" from the family.A little research has shown that there was amill in the BelAire area that is historically linked to the Ault family.
You said that Anthony Weyer Jr. died in 1845, but I have two different birth years for Henry Weyer; 1842(from Census) and 1848 (from his tombstone).This Weyer name is pronounced we're.Did you find a connection for any of Henry's siblings, John C Weyer or Phillip Weyer?
Do you have any information about the lady who contacted you about David Jacob Weyer?

Win7 licensing question
A couple months ago, my stepson installed a copy of Win7 Professional on his laptop and purchased a product key (against my advice) from one of those "Win7KeyShop" rip-off sites. Of course, two months later the key is now coming up as counterfeit/invalid.
I'm wondering if I can purchase this OEM Version from NewEgg and use that product key to "legitimize" his copy of Windows 7 without having to do a complete re-install. My main concern is that this "OEM" product key might not be valid for the "Retail" version that's currently installed. I'd hate to get the "This product Key is not valid for this version of Windows" error message.
Of course, I can do a full re-install if necessary, but I'd rather not.
Any info or advice will be much appreciated.

The key you are looking to purchase, will be good.
But it would be best to reinstall to make sure you have NO nasty's from the old disk.

Providing it is the same version and you trust the ISO source for the original installer, then just change the Product Key at Computer>Properties activation link. If that link is not active, run an Elevated Command Prompt to type slmgr -ipk followed by a space and the new Product Key. SLMgr Commands and Options with Product Key Activation
If you want to buy a lesser or different version there is a workaround to change Win7 without reinstall.

Thanks, theog. Hopefully you're correct and I'll be able to use that key "in-place" without having to re-install. I'll post my results here.
I don't think there should be any residual "nasties" from the original install disk. It was a legitimate Win7 DVD that he borrowed, not an .iso from a downloaded torrent or anything like that.

The jailing of the former ABC presenter Andy Muirhead for possessing child pornography is a savage act of barbarism. Anyone who cares remotely about justice and fair sentencing should register a protest. To send a young man to prison for an offence whose effects, measured in terms of harm done to others, must remain unquantifiable, is shameful. If he had bashed someone into a coma in a pub he might well have been more leniently treated.
That child pornography is an evil and vicious thing no one needs to be told - even though we constantly are, often by the same people who would defend adult pornography as art. But to watch child pornography on a screen or accumulate a collection of it does no harm to the children who are exploited to make it. The harm to them has already been done. If the full wrath of the law were directed at the manufacturers of child pornography that would be only just. But most child pornography comes via the Internet from abroad and its makers are, as lawyers put it, beyond the jurisdiction. Not being able to get at them, Australian law directs its wrath instead at pornography-watchers here, conveniently within the jurisdiction. It seems a strange principle. If you utter or publish a libel you can expect to be sued. But not if all you do is read the libel.
If it be argued that Muirhead is being punished because, by watching child pornography he has encouraged its manufacture - that to stamp out the market will be to stamp out the manufacturer - then Muirhead is being sent to jail on a hypothesis, hardly a firm basis for such a severe sentence. If it be argued that sending Muirhead to prison will deter others from watching child pornography, this again is conjecture. The deterrence value of prison is one of the most debated of all legal arguments.
That said, Muirhead did wrong, but more severe-warning-wrong than ten-months-worth-of-jail-wrong. His and his family's humiliation and the destruction of his career should also be taken into account as being part of his punishment.
Yet the matter does not end there.
For some reason, at any time in history societies need to have someone or something to dislike, to be afraid of, to condemn - an Other, as the late Edward Said defined it. In Anglo-Saxon culture this has been variously witches, gypsies, Catholics, Moors, Jews, blacks, Chinese, Irish and foreigners in general, alcohol purveyors and, latterly, cigarette manufacturers. But with political correctness reigning supreme, most traditional objects of social fear and hatred are no longer available to be cursed or scorned, openly at any rate. In our community paedophiles and child abusers fill the vacuum. So great a menace are they considered that the police are given rights an anti-terrorist squad might find hard to secure to march into private houses and probe into citizens' private habits.
The promotion of paedophilia to its current status as the greatest social evil of all time is fairly recent. Until well into the twentieth century "kiddie-fiddlers" were as much objects of comic relief as of hatred: figures such as vicars and choirboys or naughty scoutmasters were staples of popular newspapers, vaudeville jokes and - even into the 1970s - television comedy. Then, as Browning puts it in "My Last Duchess", "all smiles stopped together". Why?
I believe the change came as part and parcel of the sexual revolution of the late twentieth century which made all kinds of sexual activity that had previously been (at least outwardly) disapproved of socially acceptable. In the name of liberty and self-realisation sex anywhere with anyone and of whatever form was to your taste became the order of the day, disapproved of by a few fuddy-duddies but sedulously promoted by, amongst others, psychologists, hippies, political radicals, cinema, television, popular music and magazines. Guilt about sex, we were told, was something that no one under any circumstances should have to feel; that was the way people had been brought up in the dark ages before the 1960s, and, argued the forces of enlightenment, look how it had screwed up their lives.
But the human capacity for guilt runs deeper than that; and all the guilt about their sexual lives that the new libertines were telling each other they didn't feel was still lurking deep in their psyches. It had to manifest itself somewhere, and it came spewing to the surface vicariously in hatred of paedophilia, the one form of sexual preference that the new morality will not tolerate. That active paedophilia is the preserve of a small squalid and secretive minority with none of the political clout of the sexually emancipated majority or even of the larger minorities of male and female homosexuals ensured that it would never be seen, as theirs were, as just one of the legitimate forms of sexual expression on offer, even if those who furtively indulged in it had the courage to try and present it as such (yet surely, repulsive though it may sound to some, for paedophiles that is what paedophilia is). At any rate, no one was going to defend it, and hatred of paedophiles became the sacrificial offering through which practitioners of all other forms of sexual behaviour, no matter how bizarre, purged their own latent and unrecognised guilt.
As for the old jokes about child abuse, in 1998 the American film Happiness appeared with a sub-plot that satirised paedophilia. But of course there are some things too serious even for the enlightened to laugh about, and this excellent film was widely condemned.
It is hard to imagine what purpose Tasmanian Chief Justice Ewan Crawford supposed would be served by sending Muirhead to prison. It won't "cure" him, if, that is, he needs curing. Sexual quests are a symptom of the incomplete individual seeking to complete itself with another individual. For some people, perhaps on account of shyness or embarrassment or immaturity, pornography is the only way to meet this need, until through luck or providence the right person comes along. Sending Muirhead to jail could retard and perhaps obliterate this possibility in his life. And if he watched pornography only for diversion or prurience, it is unlikely at this point that he needs a prison term to convince him of the inadvisability of that.
The judge's treatment of Muirhead is thoroughly in accord with community attitudes to paedophilia in contemporary Australia (indeed, Chief Justice Crawford sounds a very contemporary kind of person, being the first chief justice in Australia not to wear what he apparently considers the "out of date and unnecessary" traditional judges' robes). Yet Crawford was in a position, at least in theory, to apply reason and objectivity if he so chose and not impose the severe punishment that majority opinion would doubtless have expected. That he didn't give Muirhead a suspended or other less harsh sentence suggests that, like judges throughout history, Crawford knows which side his bread is buttered on, and wasn't prepared to go against the community's obsession with paedophilia as the one sin crying to heaven for vengeance.
Of course Crawford and his fellow judges might well share this obsession, given that it seems to be only in cases of this kind that a generally soft-sentencing judiciary, one often as much if not more concerned to identify exculpatory formative influences on an offender as to see that justice is done to the victim of the offence, forgets its liberalism and reverts to the savagery of the old-fashioned hanging judge.
One feels very sorry for Muirhead. He was one of the nicest presenters on the ABC, pleasantly mannered, modest and affable, without any trace of the condescension of certain other "personalities" on the national broadcaster. At 36 he is at an age when the best years of his career were ahead (would his age have gained him sympathy if he had pointed out that he was "young and naive" at the time of his misdemeanours, as the Prime Minister did when explaining away certain events dating back to a similar age in her middle-aged youth?). His indulgence in pornography has been a tragedy for him, a tragedy compounded by his treatment by the court. People like him are a scapegoat, a scapegoat sent into the wilderness as scapegoats were, to absolve the sins of others, in this case of a generation of sexual permissives who, while claiming the right to be free of moral disapproval for their own behaviour, consider jail sentences fair punishment for people whose sexual preferences, no matter how antisocial and regrettable, differ from theirs in that they were excluded from the "anything goes" of the sexual revolution.

Wow. As someone close to Andy, I thank you.ReplyDelete
As someone who admired Muirhead's performance on TV, I couldn't disagree more. He might be a nice bloke to meet, but there it ends.ReplyDelete
The idea that watching child pornography (or any pornography for that matter, as even the least offensive of it exploits and degrades women) is a passive activity for the watcher, and a victimless crime, is as abhorrent as it is perverse. The watchers create the market and the makers abuse the children to meet that demand. Inevitably the abuse escalates.
Muirhead got nothing more than he deserves, and arguably considerably less.

Mique, 'any pornography'? Gay porn which can get down and dirty fairly quickly I guess isn't a problem for anyone, no matter how extreme it gets. No women no problem. You might want to rethink your argument.ReplyDelete

I am a criminal prosecutor who deals with the occasional charge of possession of child pornography. The offence is usually detected electronically by computer servers monitoring the downloading of certain files previously identified as child pornography by means of file-sharing programmes. There is no "market" for this material because sharing it is free of charge. Usually the offender is a pornography addict, with the child pornography only a small portion of his digital library. Commonly the offender has led an otherwise blameless life, without the slightest risk that he would ever abuse children. The usual sentence is gaol: thereby providing for the seriously dangerous men who otherwise occupy the nation's prisons an object of derision (or worse). Deviant and dangerous as viewing child pornography undoubtedly is, the standards of sentencing currently imposed for this offence are out of all proportion to the degree of criminality involved in committing it (when compared to other types of offending) and the circumstances of the offenders who commit it (when compared to the criminal histories of persons usually gaoled). Well done for saying the unsayable.ReplyDelete
Whether the standards of sentencing are out of proportion to the degree of criminality involved will surely be a matter of opinion. No doubt as a prosecutor you will be well aware of the apparent disconnect between opinions of the judiciary and the legal profession and those of the public-at-large as to what is or is not a proportional punishment. In general, I think the public would probably double any penalty the judiciary saw fit to impose in most criminal cases before the courts.ReplyDelete
For me, the only criterion that would modify my judgement as to what sentence would have been appropriate is that, in Andy's particular case, a mere conviction for such an offence could reasonably be seen as sufficient punishment, given the career-ending implications. But I doubt that such an outcome would have been seen as justice by the public, and it would certainly not be seen as an effective deterrent by your average anonymous sleazebag
I disagree that no "market" exists for such things. There is a demand; therefore, someone will be motivated to supply that demand; therefore, a market exists, whether it be for cash or kind.
The aim should be to cease the exploitation of the children, and given the reality that the chances of finding the direct exploiters are slim to none, the only feasible means of doing so seems to me to be to discourage the users. In most cases, 11 months among friends is hardly a discouragement against future offence.
In this respect, Andy Muirhead is doubly unfortunate. The 11 month jail sentence is just icing on the cake for him. The real punishment is the permanent destruction of his former stellar career and his almost unlimited future prospects.
Hopefully, more people will be deterred by such a high profile case.

Solving structural engineering design optimization problems using an artificial bee colony algorithm
Harish Garg - School of Mathematics and Computer Applications, Thapar University Patiala, Patiala - 147004, Punjab, India (email)
Abstract: The main goal of the present paper is to solve structural engineering design optimization problems with nonlinear resource constraints. Real world problems in engineering domain are generally large scale or nonlinear or constrained optimization problems. Since heuristic methods are powerful than the traditional numerical methods, as they don't requires the derivatives of the functions and provides near to the global solution. Hence, in this article, a penalty guided artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is presented to search the optimal solution of the problem in the feasible region of the entire search space. Numerical results of the structural design optimization problems are reported and compared. As shown, the solutions by the proposed approach are all superior to those best solutions by typical approaches in the literature. Also we can say, our results indicate that the proposed approach may yield better solutions to engineering problems than those obtained using current algorithms.
Keywords: Artificial bee colony, constraints handling, structural design optimization, nonlinear constraint.

It is said in surfing that if you don't like the current wave, just wait–there will be another right behind it. In 1993, Marc Andreessen landed in Silicon Valley and thought there was nothing left to do. The PC market was flush with providers, all of the software needed to operate the PC was being provided by Microsoft, Novell, and Lotus, and there were mature game companies including EA (Electronic Arts).
As you look back now, it seems obvious there would be another wave. But Marc was not so sure. Marc is one of the fathers of the internet (at 22) as the creator of Mosaic (the first web browser–think Chrome and Safari), which morphed into Netscape, later sold to AOL for more than $4 billion. In other words, Marc is a wave maker.
Marc has since gone on to start a number of companies that were later acquired, and he's now one of the premier investors in the world through his venture firm, Andreessen Horowitz, which holds or has held positions in Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, Skype, Groupon, Pinterest, Airbnb, Instagram, and many more.
In a Tim Ferriss podcast interview a few weeks back, Marc was asked about his views on the 90s and what it means for future waves. As an entrepreneur, investor, and community builder, I was reminded we learn much from occasionally looking back and reviewing past waves.
When I operated an investment fund from 1995-1998, the technology leaders were Microsoft, IBM, AOL, and soon to be Yahoo. Google was just being formed (1998), Apple was still a PC company with single-digit market share, and Mark Zuckerberg was 13 years old.
The point of this look back is that with historical context, one can see there is forever another wave. AOL was replaced by Yahoo, which was replaced by Google, who now splits time with Facebook, who is under pressure from SnapChat.
Are you a startup enthusiast who is camped out on the far reaches of the technology frontier? As a frontier camper, you invariably vacillate between excitement and fear. (Welcome to the Wild West.) The great news is that there are new waves now building around artificial intelligence, robotics, alternative currency, and food.
Look around your world and find the intersection of what you know and these next waves. Then grab your board, kick your feet, and start paddling–the ride will be exciting.

I first visited Eataly in Turin several years ago, and I was immediately completely sold and in love with this giant food mecca.
Not long ago Eataly opened it's doors in Rome in the still more popular neighborhood Ostiense, so when I had a few days in Rome last week (and temperatures were unbearable), a visit to Eataly seemed like the perfect excuse to get some much needed air con, take a few photos and eat some great food.
Located in an old air terminal, Eataly greets you with its three floors of food, wine, bookstores, kitchenware and restaurants. Exclusively Italian products of the highest quality.
Even though prices are pretty high it is really an amazing experience to walk around this giant luxury food mall. We had lunch at a place called L'Orto di Eatly, which sold dishes based on organic vegetables and eggs. Yummi yummi.
You find Eataly in several major Italian cities, and while researching for this post I actually discovered that they open up in Florence in September!
