Governments wrestle over disability insurance funding
The Council of Australian Governments met today and key amongst their discussions has been how best to fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Source: 7.30 | Duration: 5min 13sec
Topics: federal---state-issues, insurance, federal-government, disabilities, programs-and-initiatives, australia
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: Well after another rough week, the Prime Minister Julia Gillard would no doubt like some good news, but today's Council of Australian Government's meeting hasn't delivered it. Predictably, Australia's political leaders split along party lines when it came to making the tough decisions on a scheme to help people with disabilities.
In a moment, the Prime Minister will join me in the studio to discuss the Government's woes, from leadership to cost of living, but first, Heather Ewart reports on what today's limited COAG progress means for some of the nation's most disadvantaged citizens.
HEATHER EWART, REPORTER: It's that time-honoured ritual when state premiers come to Canberra pleading they're short of money. In this case, the big sticking point was who pays what share of the Federal Government's much-anticipated National Disability Insurance Scheme, scheduled to start next July.
CAMPBELL NEWMAN, QLD PREMIER: What I'm saying is right now we simply are not in a position to provide money.
BARRY O'FARRELL, NSW PREMIER: The Federal Government's strategy is to say, "No, no, no, the states have to fund it." You know, what's the point of coming if that's gonna be the continuing attitude?
TED BAILLIEU, VICTORIAN PREMIER: I think there's a lot of work to be done yet.
CAMPBELL NEWMAN: We wanna make it happen. I wanna make it happen.
JAY WEATHERILL, SA PREMIER: But we also expect the Commonwealth to shoulder the lion's share of that additional expenditure.
HEATHER EWART: So they all want it, they just don't want to pay for it, or at least not too much of it. The Federal Government's plan today was to agree on four launch sites before the scheme kicks off and all the states and territories were vying to be the chosen ones. But they were haggling over what they could contribute.
JAY WEATHERILL: We've stumped up $20 million.
BARRY O'FARRELL: Well we're putting almost $200 million on the table as our contribution.
CAMPBELL NEWMAN: We just don't have the funds at the moment. We want to help.
HEATHER EWART: As the COAG meeting got down to business, the Federal Government was holding firm. It had $1 billion set aside in its budget to start the scheme that it claimed would cover 78 per cent of the cost of the launch and the states were expected to make up the rest. For those who thought the scheme was a done deal, the battle over funding was infuriating.
URSULA NESCI: I just get very cross and very frustrated because I think that it is something that should have been sorted out a long time ago.
HEATHER EWART: Ursula Nesci has a 19-year-old disabled daughter who needs constant care.
URSULA NESCI: I care for Julia 24/7 pretty much. I got some carers who help for a few hours a week.
HEATHER EWART: For this Melbourne family, a national disability insurance scheme is viewed as a godsend that would get rid of state red tape and waiting lists.
URSULA NESCI: It would mean that I could plan for Julia's future and that I wouldn't have to go to bed at night waking up in the middle of the night worrying about what's going to happen if one day I can't take care of her anymore.
JOHN WALSH, DISABILITY ADVOCATE: This scheme will provide a reasonable and necessary level of support to people with a disability who at the moment have no entitlements whatsoever.
HEATHER EWART: John Walsh was one of the architects of the Productivity Commission report recommending the scheme. The launch sites that were being hammered out at COAG he sees as crucial to iron out infrastructure and establish the cost of the entire scheme.
JOHN WALSH: It would be a disaster for people with a disability if these turned into a series of trials that last for four years and nothing happens after that.
HEATHER EWART: By late this afternoon his fears were looking well-founded when the Prime Minister and state and territory leaders emerged with no consensus and the look of having been through a big bun fight.
JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER: I am disappointed that we haven't been able to reach agreement over what are comparatively, for governments in this country, relatively small sums. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is starting. It's starting in three places around the country and I think that's great news.
HEATHER EWART: No, it's not. After several hours of talks the only agreement the Federal Government could get was for its Labor counterparts in South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT to take on launch sites. It couldn't even pull off a fourth trial site. The most populated states would not play ball, as the conservatives ganged up to try to substantially increase the federal input.
BARRY O'FARRELL: There was no additional money on the table today and I have to say what frustrates me is that of that $1 billion, only $350 million goes to actually providing services to people with disabilities. The rest is admin and set-up costs.
COLIN BARNETT, WA PREMIER: Today, in my judgment, was an opportunity squandered. We did not make the most of what could have been achieved today. And with due respect to the three trials that have been set up, they are small scale, they are in the small states.
HEATHER EWART: It's not what the Federal Government or any of those promoting the scheme had in mind. Partisan politics ruled the day here and it's the disabled and their families who may well pay the price. So tonight, they have this message for political leaders on all sides:
JOHN WALSH: You have all agreed that this is a worthwhile and a doable scheme. Please just do it and stop talking about it.

The Power of One
by Bryce Courtenay. You may get an inkling of how much this book means to me by the fact that my second son's name is Bryce
I first read this book in high school and it really resonated with me and I have read it every few years ever since. When I was teaching, I had my students read it as well and many of them had a similar reaction
It was difficult to get college freshman interested in anything but this book was a hit with every class
Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I think the morality and ethical dilemmas explored in this novel as well as Raskolnikov's theories on the "worth" of one set of people over others along with his transformation are good conversations for anyone to have.
The Awakening
by Kate Chopin. The struggles of Edna Pontellier to find her "self" and her place in a world she doesn't fit in are a good starting point for some serious discussions about where we, as women, came from, where we are, and where the world needs to go. I think in light of recent legislation here in the US, Edna's struggles are even more relevant than they were a few years ago.

What an interesting year 2017 will be!
What a surprising - and to some even shocking - year 2016 turned out to be. Perhaps most significantly, it was the year the British people chose Brexit and the year the American people elected Trump. These were two outcomes precious few saw coming. Pundits, pollsters and even psychics told us that it wouldn't happen - that it couldn't happen. Yet, in the end, it did happen... Continue reading »

Life Event – part 8on October 10, 2014 at 12:01 am
Last night we broke the milestone on the Patreon campaign that gives us four comics a week. For as long as that holds we're guaranteed four strips a week on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If you want to get back to seeing Zombie Roomie five days a week, there's another milestone ahead of us that is waiting to be broken.
With that said, it does give us two more strips before the anniversary, so I'm not as concerned about finishing this arc before the week of Halloween as I was before. I think things will pace out well enough with the extra strips.
And don't think I've forgotten about the whole engagement conversation that still needs to take place with Lyn and Jack's dad…

Beginning to Sew? Easy Tricks and Quick Tips!
Learning to sew is both rewarding and a challenge. Classes and private lessons help, but so does taking time to "play" with your sewing machine for beginners. Learn what you can do and what you like, with scrap fabrics and projects that are forgiving. Beginning quilters might start with a couple utility potholders. Pillowcases, dog beds and doll clothes don't have to be perfect to give you valuable experience.
Seams Straight
Believe it or not crooked seams are not inevitable. You can easily fix them, and your accuracy will improve with practice. Here's a trick to help: The seam allowance guides on your sewing machine can be small and hard to see. Use masking tape to make them bigger. Line up the edge of the masking tape with the correct guideline, use a ruler if you need to, and run the tape out to each side. Then you can use the straight edge of the tape as your seam allowance guide. Another way to go is to use a chalk-line. Sewing chalk and tracing papers can be used to draw your seam allowance, your sewing line, directly onto the fabric. You then simply feed that line directly under the needle.
Pin Outside Pintrest
Learn to love your pins. Curved seams, especially need to be pinned in place to turn out well. Even straight seams benefit from a few pins. While most people automatically pin in-line, try pinning sideways instead. Pinning at a right-angle to your seam-line makes the pins accessible and easier to remove as you are sewing. Experienced seamstresses and quilters recommend using pins that are extra fine with glass heads. If you miss removing a pin, an extra-fine shaft is less likely to foul the sewing machine, and a glass head won't melt under a hot iron.
Easy Towel Trick
Professional tailors use devices called "sewing hams" to help press shaped seams open and give the garments a nice finish. You can do the same with a rolled up towel. Makeshift "towel hams" work especially well for sleeves and shoulder areas.
Hold On
Thread snarls happen to everyone, but most of them are easy to fix. When you start your seam do you always remember to hold the two thread ends? Those threads can be pulled back into the machine and create a messy knot of threads on the back of your sewing. Hold onto the threads until the machine has taken two or three stitches, then you can let go without problems.
Threading is Tricky
Sewing machines can be a bit OCD. Clockwise and counter-clockwise thread directions matter when inserting the bobbin, and the top thread must be threaded through every tensioning loop to make the machine sew properly. The main reason beginning sewers get frustrated is trying to sew with an improperly threaded machine. Don't give up. Read the instructions again, look online for clarification, ask a friend or go back to your local fabric store for help getting it threaded properly. It's worth it.
Remember, it's okay to not be perfect right away. You will get better with practice. Also, unless someone will be inspecting your sewing close-up, chances are that a few imperfections won't be noticed. Sew, go for it!

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Game Changer: How TV's Madcap Musical Comedy Delivered a Sobering Examination of Suicide & Mental Health
Leave it to The Prancing Elites to make a skating rank fabulous. The dance group at the center of Oxygen's The Prancing Elites Project is back for a new season of episodes and they're learning something new. In the season premiere, airing tonight at 8 p.m., the Elites—Adrian Clemons, Kentrell Collins, Kareem Davis, Jerel Maddox and Tim Smith—hit the skating rink to brush up on (and in some cases learn) their skating skills for "the biggest performance ever."
"I think it's totally impossible for us to be dancing on these skates," Tim says.
As you'll see in the clip below, some are better equipped on the skates than others. Talk about a wipe out!
"Kentrell looks like an over-sized newborn trying to skate," Adrian says. Luckily Kentrell gets some assistance from unlikely sources. In the premiere episode, Kentrell struggles to keep the team together as side projects continue to grow. Meanwhile, Kareem is given a tempting offer by rival dance team and Adrian mentors a group of young dancers.
"The Prancing Elites continue to be such a unique, inspirational group of friends connected by their passion for dance whose journey paves the way for honest and authentic self-defining emotions that connect with our young audience," Rod Aissa, executive vice president of original programming and development at Oxygen Media, said in a statement. "This season the team delves deeper into their personal lives as they struggle to find the heart and determination to come together and be their hilarious, genuine selves while reaching greater success in the dancing world."
The Prancing Elites Project premieres Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 8 p.m. on Oxygen.
(E! and Oxygen are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Tuluksak, AK (PressExposure) May 16, 2012 -- Mark Ling decided to have a pre-launch phase in which information will be shared in order to help interested marketers make the right decision. The idea is to showcase the quality customers can expect from the main Affiloblueprint 3 course.
Affiloblueprint 3.0 is the third sequel in a very successful series of affiliate marketing courses created by Mark Ling. The creator, for those who never heard of him, is one of the most successful and popular Internet marketing experts, who are commonly referred to as Gurus by the make money online crowd.
"What distinguished Affiloblueprint since its first edition has always been the real life experience it transmits" says Mark. He has always stressed "There is nothing better than an over-the-shoulder learning experience, this way you can see things happen in front of you and gain the certainty that results are not as hard to achieve as you assumed".
The content of the previous blueprints has always been very solid according to customers. Thus the course had to be updated only once since 2008 when the first Affiloblueprint hit the market. But after so many changes to Google's algorithm, a new update was due. But the new Affiloblueprint 3.0 will not be a mere update of version 2.0. Mark Ling has indeed announced that the course has been redone from scratch to reflect the changes that recently happened in the Internet marketing world.
One of the most devastating changes that shook pretty hard the Internet marketing crowd in general and the SEO community in particular was the latest Google update baptized Penguin update. Nobody knew for certain how to rank a webpage from there on. Even seasoned webmasters started doubting their skills. Mark announced that a post-Penguin ranking formula will be part of the course and this should be one of most anticipated components of Affiloblueprint v3. Many consider this announcement pretty bold especially because he looked so confident when making this statement which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/v/wTu71TWY1-o
Mark Ling also announced that Affilobluerpint 3.0 will hit the market on May 29th 2012. On this date, you will have the opportunity to purchase the blueprint for a discount price available only for one week. The price will be announced shortly before the official release. All those interested in the course should start looking for a fitting bonus to get the most out of their investment.
Yet he announced too that there will be a pre-launch phase starting May 15th. In this phase, more information on the main course and free tools and reports will be made available for grabs. To get a detailed Affiloblueprint 3.0 review please visit http://www.affiloblueprint3.org/.

Standing at five feet two inches, Louisa is of average build for her size. She has black hair and dark brown eyes. She generally prefers to wear muggle clothing. She is right-handed.History:
1861. Lou is born the first child to Bernard and Marjory Griffiths. She is a fairly active child, though she doesn't get into too much trouble.Personality:
1863. Rosina is born and looks like a raisin. Eww. This is also Louisa's first semi-clear memory. Starting on a high note.
1867. Louisa shows her first sign of magic.
1873. It's off to Hogwarts, where Lou is sorted into Hufflepuff. She wasn't really expecting it, but she quickly finds it doesn't make much of a difference to her. She is a fairly average student, but makes friends quickly.
1874. Rosina leaves for Hogwarts
1875. For her third year, Lou chooses Ghoul Studies and Muggle Studies as her electives.

They manage eventually, though, and Lou delivers a daughter, Rosanna. It doesn't occur to Louisa for at least a month that "Rosanna" is very close to "Rosina," which was unintentional.

Disney Announces 'Wreck-It Ralph' Sequel: Characters to Break the Internet
Move over, Kim Kardashian — you've had your chance at breaking the Internet, and now it's Wreck-It Ralph's turn… literally! Walt Disney Animation has announced that a sequel to the hit 2012 animated video game comedy is officially underway.
With help from Ralph's voice actor John C. Reilly, the film's director Rich Moore and screenwriter Phil Johnston — the same duo behind Disney's smash anthropomorphic animal movie, Zootopia, which was released on March 4 — made the announcement on Facebook earlier this morning (June 30) via a live video on the company's' page.
While details for the follow-up are still sparse, Reilly, wearing Ralph-sized fists, did drop a mega-byte-sized hint about what sort of shenanigans his character will be getting into when the movie hits theaters in 2018.
"Ralph leaves the arcade and wrecks the Internet," he revealed in the clip. "What could go wrong?"
Sarah Silverman, who played the spunky, wisecracking Vanellope von Schweetz in the original film, did not appear in the video. However, both she and Reilly are confirmed to reprise their roles as the dynamic 8-bit duo from the fictional in-film games "Sugar Rush" and "Fix-It Felix," respectively.
Disney also previewed a promotional image from the upcoming sequel, which shows Vanellope sitting atop Ralph's shoulders as the two loom over a digital web interface. Sites like Google ("Gugle"), Amazon ("Amazing") and grubHub ("LubHub") are all parodied in the image — and do we spot the glowing triple Xs of a porn streaming site in there, or are our eyes playing a trick on us?
Four years ago, Owl City sang "When Can I See You Again?" on the soundtrack for the beloved animated movie and now, we have an answer: The sequel to Wreck-It Ralph will smash into theaters March 9, 2018.

Caroline Flack says she and Olly Murs are "not totally platonic".
The close pals co-present 'The X Factor' together and Caroline admitted their relationship is hard to define.
She said: "It's a weird chemistry. We have this innate understanding of one another - we don't fancy each other and yet we don't not fancy each other. We're not girlfriend and boyfriend, yet we're not totally platonic either."
Caroline - who previously dated One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles - also called her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Pasha Kovalev her "therapist" for helping her through a messy split with music producer boyfriend Jack Street while she was taking part in the show.
She told YOU Magazine: "During that last week I was breaking down in tears every two seconds. Pasha didn't know what to say. When I started crying I would slump on the floor and he'd just come and sit next to me and rub my shoulder. When we came to the final dance everyone wanted us to do something really fast and energetic and Pasha said, 'No, we're going to do something slow and emotional, you are not in the right frame of mind to do anything else. He is the greatest therapist of all time."
Despite previous heartbreak, Caroline is hopeful that she will settle down someday and not become "a crazy cat lady".
She said: "It can't be me and my cat forever can it? The other day, instead of saying, 'This is something to show my grandkids', I said, 'grandcats'. It just came out. Maybe I am destined to become a crazy cat lady, but I hope not."

Environmental Review
Certain land use actions are required to be reviewed for their potential effect on the environment under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). If your project requires this review, you will be notified by staff. A separate fee is required for environmental review. Upon review of your application, staff will make one of the following three determinations regarding environmental review:
1) That the project will not have a significant impact on the environment; or
2) That the project could have a significant impact on the environment but that certain mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to preclude the impacts; or
3) That the project could have a significant effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared. To the extent possible, environmental review of your project will occur concurrently with processing of the C.U.P. or Variance, however, if an EIR is necessary, action on the permit will be deferred. For more information on environmental review, please ask staff. Please note that many projects requiring a C.U.P. or Variance are exempt from environmental review. Check with staff to make sure.

Heideggerian Economics
[A pdf version is available here]
Lately I've had the poor judgment to start reading Heidegger's Being and Time. I've been putting it off for years now, largely because it has no connection with the kind of philosophy I'm interested in. Yet, among my philosophical acquaintances there is a clear line between those who have read Heidegger and those who haven't—working through this book really does seem to let people reach a whole new level of abstraction.
To my great surprise, in Being and Time (1927: 413), Heidegger remarks:
[E]ven that which is ready-to-hand can be made a theme for scientific investigation and determination… The context of equipment that is ready-to-hand in an everyday manner, its historical emergence and utilization, and its factical role in Dasein — all these are objects for the science of economics. The ready-to-hand can become the 'Object' of science without having to lose its character as equipment. A modification of our understanding of Being does not seem to be necessarily constitutive for the genesis of the theoretical attitude 'towards Things'.
Curiously, no other sources I've found mention this excerpt. More well-known is a passage from "What are Poets for?" in which Heidegger denounces marketization (1946: 114-5):
In place of all the world-content of things that was formerly perceived and used to grant freely of itself, the object-character of technological dominion spreads itself over the earth ever more quickly, ruthlessly, and completely. Not only does it establish all things as producible in the process of production; it also delivers the products of production by means of the market. In self-assertive production, the humanness of man and the thingness of things dissolve into the calculated market value of a market which not only spans the whole earth as a world market, but also, as the will to will, trades in the nature of Being and thus subjects all beings to the trade of a calculation that dominates most tenaciously in those areas where there is no need of numbers.
Thus it's very easy to appeal to Heidegger's authority to support various Leftist clichés about capitalism. It's far harder to bring Heidegger's thought to bear on actual economic modelling—its 'worldly philosophy'. In this post I'll survey several of the less hand-wavey attempts in this direction. My main question is whether a Heideggerian economics is possible at all, and if so, whether there is a specific subfield of economics to which Heideggerian philosophy especially lends itself. My overview of each specific thinker sticks closely to the source material, as I'm hardly fluent enough in Heideggerese to give a synoptic overview or clever reinterpretation. I don't expect to ever develop a systematic interpretation of my own, but I hope this post might prove inspiring to some economist with philosophical tastes far different from my own.
1. Schalow on 'The Question of Economics'
Schalow's approach is quite refreshing because he is both an orthodox Heideggerian and takes the viewpoint of mainstream economics, as opposed to Heideggerian Marxism such as Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man. Schalow's question is at once simpler and deeper: whether Heidegger's thought leaves any room for economics. Here, 'economics' is minimally defined as theorizing the production and distribution of goods to meet human needs. (So in theory, then, this applies to any sort of economics, classical or modern.) The most obvious answer would seem to be 'No' — he notes: "It is clear that Heidegger refrains from 'theorizing' of any kind, which for him constitutes a form of metaphysical rationality" (p. 249).
Thus, Schalow takes a more abstract route, viewing economics simply as "an inescapable concern of human being (Dasein) who is temporally and spatially situated within the world" (p. 250). Schalow advocates a form of 'chrono-economics', where 'scarcity' is framed through time as numeraire. In a sense, this operates between 'economic theory' as a mathematical science vs. as a "humanistic recipe for achieving social justice" (p. 251); instead, "economic concerns are an extension of human finitude" (p. 250). Schalow makes various pedantic points about etymology which I'll spare the reader, except for this one: "the term 'logos' derives its meaning from the horticultural activity of 'collecting' and 'dispersing' seeds" (p. 252).
It's natural to interpret Being & Time as "lay[ing] out the pre-theoretical understanding of the everyday work-world in which the self produces goods and satisfies its instrumental needs" (p. 253). Similarly, "work is the self's way of 'skillful coping' in its everyday dealings with the world" (p. 254). Hence Heidegger emphasizes production — which he will later associate with technē — over exchange, which he associates with the 'they-self' (p. 254). Yet, Schalow points out, both production and exchange can be construed as a form of 'care'. Care, in turn, is configured by temporality, which forces us to prioritize some things over others (p. 256).
"The paradox of time…is the fact that it is its transitoriness which imparts the pregnancy of meaning on what we do" (p. 257). Therefore, "time constitutes the 'economy of all economies'," in that "temporality supplies the limit of all limits in which any provision or strategy of allocation can occur" (ibid.). We can go on to say that "time economizes all the economies, in defining the horizon of finitude as the key for any plan of allocation" (p. 258).
In his later thought, Heidegger took on a more historical view, arguing that the structure of Being was experienced differently in different epochs. In our own time, the strongest influence on our notion of Being is technology. Schalow gives an interesting summary (p. 261):
The advance of technology…occurs only through a proportional 'decline' in which the manifestness of being becomes secondary to the beings that 'presence' in terms of their instrumental uses.
In an age where the economy is so large as to be inconceivable except through mathematical models, one can say that "the modern age of technology dawns with the reduction of philosophical questions to economic ones" (p. 260). Thus, Heidegger is more inclined to view economics as instrumental (technē) rather than as "the self-originative form of disclosure found in art (poiēsis)." Yet, rather than merely a quantitative "artifice of instrumentality," it is also possible to interpret economics in terms of poiēsis, as "a vehicle by which human beings disclose their immersion in the material contingencies of existence" (p. 262). Economics thus becomes "a dynamic event by which human culture adjusts to 'manage' its natural limitations" (ibid.). Framing economics in terms of temporality (as 'chrono-economics') allows it to remain open to Being, and thereby "to connect philosophy with economics without effacing the boundary between them" (p. 263).
Élie Ayache's The Medium of Contingency – A Review
[All art by Tatiana Plakhova. Review in pdf here]
Élie Ayache, The Medium of Contingency: An Inverse View of the Market,
Palgrave-Macmillan, 2015, 414pp., $50.00 (hbk), ISBN 9781137286543.
Ayache's project is to outline the ontology of quantitative finance as a discipline. That is, he wants to find what distinguishes it as a genre, distinct from economics or even stocks and bonds—what most of us associate with 'finance'. Quantitative finance, dealing with derivatives, is a whole new level of abstraction. So Ayache has to show that economic and social concerns are exogenous (external) to derivative prices: the underlying asset can simply be treated as a stochastic process. His issue with probability is that it is epistemological—a shorthand for when we don't know the true mechanism. Taleb's notion of black swans as radically unforeseeable (unknowable) events is simply an extension of this. Conversely, market-makers—those groups of people yelling at each other in old movies about Wall Street—don't need probability to do their jobs. Ayache's aim is thus to introduce into theory the practice of derivatives trading—from within, rather than outside, the market. And it's reasonable to think that delineating the ontology of this immensely rich field will yield insights applicable elsewhere in philosophy.
This is not a didactic book. People coming from philosophy will not learn about finance, nor about how derivatives work. Ayache reinterprets these, assuming familiarity with the standard view. Even Pierre Menard—Ayache's claim to fame—is only given a few perfunctory mentions here. People coming from finance will not learn anything about philosophy, since Ayache assumes a graduate-level knowledge of it. Further, Ayache's comments on Taleb's Antifragile are limited to one page. The only conceivable reason to even skim this book is that you'd like to see just how abstract the philosophy of finance can get.
I got interested in Ayache because I write philosophy of economics. I wanted to learn what quantitative finance is all about, so several years ago I read through all his articles in Wilmott Magazine, gradually learning how to make sense of sentences like "Only in a diffusion framework is the one-touch option…replicable by a continuum of vanilla butterflies" (Sept 2006: 19). I've made it through all of Ayache's published essays. Now I've read this entire book, and I deserve a goddamn medal. I read it so that you don't have to.
Much of Ayache's reception so far has been quite silly. I recently came across an article (Ferraro, 2016) that cited Ayache's concept of 'contingency' as an inspiration behind a game based on sumo wrestling. (You can't make this stuff up.) Frank Ruda (2013), an otherwise respectable philosopher, wrote a nonsensical article comparing him to Stalin![1] Philosophy grad students occasionally mention his work to give their papers a more 'empirical' feel (which is comparable in silliness to the sumo wrestling), especially Ayache's clever reading of Borges' short story on Pierre Menard—from which these graduate students draw sweeping conclusions about capitalism and high-frequency trading.
Ayache expects the reader to have already read The Blank Swan, which itself is not understandable without reading Meillassoux's After Finitude. Thus, for most readers, decreasing returns will have long set in. My goal here is to summarize the main arguments and/or good ideas of each chapter, divested of the pages and pages of empty verbosity accompanying them. I try to avoid technical jargon from finance and philosophy except as needed to explain the arguments, though I do provide requisite background knowledge that Ayache has omitted. So first, let's cover the most important concepts that the reader may find unfamiliar.

Lucas has started Preschool!!! This is a big deal for him, and for us. It's been quite the journey to get where he is now, and for being in an orphanage less than one year ago to now being in an American school, well, it's a BIG deal!! 🙂 We are so proud of him! He's jumped through some major hurdles to be where he is now!
This all started when Aiden began first grade this year a few months ago. Lucas and I would walk Aiden to school and pick him up, everyday. When we would get back to the house after dropping Aiden off, Lucas missed his brother, and wondered what he did at that place called school all day. I read Lucas a few books about what school is about, and showed him some pictures of some of the things you do in school. Lucas began to understand that school is a fun place, where you learn and have fun. He wanted to go with his big brother to school everyday. Lucas became very very interested in this school thing. Everyday about the time Lucas was done napping, it would be about time to go pick up Aiden from school. It never fails, after every nap the first thing Lucas says is, "eeee-den mommy? Pik ut eee-den, mommy???" I answer, "Yes, we're going to pick up Aiden!"
This is how Lucas would wait for his brother after school, everyday:
Once Lucas spotted his brother, he would start yelling for him, "Eeeee-Den!!!!!!!!" jumping up and down with excitement! He just made me laugh. After that, Lucas would want to see all his papers and sit intently listening to all the details of Aiden's day. I could see his face fill with excitement when Aiden would start explaining the things he was doing each day in school. Lucas didn't understand everything, but he was still excited to hear about it! I began thinking that maybe Lucas is ready for school, to be around other kids. This made me nervous. For many reasons.
I just didn't think Lucas would be ready for any type of school setting because I wasn't sure he would know enough english yet to communicate well with teachers if I wasn't around to help decipher what he is trying to say. I was also concerned because this would also be the first type of interaction with other kids where he isn't in an institutionalized environment, and let's face it, survival in an orphanage in the middle of Africa is VERY different than an American school. I was also concerned that he would feel different than the other kids, not only because he is a very dark African, but because he couldn't speak english very well. I just had all these fears for him. We have to learn to help him cope in his environments outside of the home, and it was time. It was time for this.
So we found a wonderful part time preschool (only a few days a week for 3 hours) and a few other boys in his class who looked like him, which I could tell made him feel more comfortable right away. We are thankful for this preschool, and it's staff. They really took the time to listen to our concerns, hear Lucas's journey, and help us with everything as we transitioned into this new experience for Lucas.
He was ready, eager, and excited to start school!!!!!! He was just so so excited, he lead my hand all the way to the door, knowing right where to go!
He let go of my hand, and started walking in front of me, so excited. My heart sank just a teensy bit at how quickly my little boy is growing up. Too fast. Just like his older brother. They just grow up too fast. At that moment, I knew we were making the right move starting him in preschool. He was ready.
Or so I thought! We go all the way in his classroom and he puts his bookbag up on his hook, and at that moment he realizes…mommy is about to LEAVE! Panic strikes his face. Oh no. This isn't good. I was prepared for this, before all the "I'm so excited…ready to leave and go to school…I'm letting go of your hand now and walking into school by myself" business!! What?! Now I don't know how to handle this…he starts crying. Like shear pain crying. Ok, we're leaving, mommy can't do this, and I can't let you cry, we don't HAVE to do this, my poor baby, as I start to leave with him, he realizes that he now doesn't want to go, and I'm so confused. I just don't want to hinder our attachment and bonding by leaving him crying telling myself "he'll just get used to it" like I would have done with our biological child…well…Lucas is different than a biological child, with attachment issues, neglect, abuse, trust issues, etc. I can't let him cry, and be scared, and just "get used to it", so now what do I do!? I just tell him that I'm not leaving, if he wants to stay and play then he can and I'll sit in the corner and I won't leave. I did this for about 30 min. and he walked over to me, and securely said to me, "Mommy, bye bye, Lucas ok". Heart. Melted. Wow. He did it. We did it. He conquered this fear. He overcame something so scary for him, and felt secure enough to tell me he was ok now and I could go, because he knew none of the other mommies stayed. He is so smart, so brave, and such a blessing to us. I just had to share his First Day of Preschool.

Customer questions about this product
- Can I mix and match Regency shelving components with other popular shelving brands?
- Regency shelving is designed to work with many popular brands of shelving, including Metro Super Erecta and Advance Tabco. However, it's important to note that each type of component must be from the same brand, due to minor variations in size between brands.
For example, you can use Metro Super Erecta shelves with Regency posts, but all of the shelves must be Metro and all of the posts must be Regency. However, you cannot use a few Advance Tabco shelves and a few Regency shelves on the same set of posts at the same time, or two Metro posts and two Regency posts on the same shelving unit.
Easily join together two posts using the Regency chrome post clamp. It is a great way to conveniently secure two posts side by side when arranging shelving units or other assemblies. It is compatible with your existing Regency chrome posts and will fit Metro posts along with other brands.
Warranty Info
RESIDENTIAL USERS: Vendor assumes no liability for parts or labor coverage for component failure or other damages resulting from installation in non-commercial or residential applications. The right is reserved to deny shipment for residential usage; if this occurs, you will be notified as soon as possible.

As we all know, Amazon has been investing hard in the publishing industry and either bringing innovation with pioneering solutions or popularizing existing concepts. So far, they had the Kindle catalog that can be read in physical devices or in the cloud, the Author Central self-publishing platform for digital or print-on-demand formats, and KDP Publishing, a library-like system for Prime customers to borrow books free of charge.
Now Amazon is getting serious about literary translations. Its dedicated imprint is called AmazonCrossing and the goal is to "introduce readers to authors from around the world with translations of foreign language books, making award-winning and best-selling books accessible to many readers for the first time."
So far, there is a forum running in order to get feedback from readers, who have been asking for French, Italian, and, Russian versions. With a catalog of about 230 books to date, the imprint is mostly focusing on translations into German (120+ titles), with very few titles available in Spanish (10+).
The plan is to partner with foreign publishers to make AmazonCrossing books available in local languages, thus maximizing revenue through worldwide representation of an author's work. The company will also manage publishing rights and subsidiary rights, such audio books, paperback reprints and large prints, as well as television or motion picture rights.Although the first translated title was published back in 2003, the imprint is fairly unknown to the public and the number of titles available only started increasing in late 2011, including several into-English translations (90+) from authors from Germany, Poland, France, Finland, Denmark, Ukraine, Argentina, Cuba, and Japan, among other countries.
Following the Frankfurt Book Fair, which took place last week and had Brazil as the guest of honor, AmazonCrossing has announced that ten Brazilian authors will be translated into English.
The good news for translators is that their names are prominently shown on the credit line and their bios are included in the general author's page , which is always great for visibility. However, the translator sign-up page does not disclose information on negotiations, that is, if professionals will receive payment upfront―either based on the number of words or pages―, share royalties with authors, or earn a combination of both.
We'll keep an eye on the project to report on its developments and highlight prominent into-English translations of award-winning foreign books and the expansion into other foreign markets where Amazon currently operates, including Spain, Italy, France, and Brazil.

Simplicial and Operad Methods in Algebraic TopologyShare this page
V. A. Smirnov
In recent years, for solving problems of algebraic topology and, in particular,
difficult problems of homotopy theory, algebraic structures more complicated
than just a topological monoid, an algebra, a coalgebra, etc., have been used
more and more often. A convenient language for describing various structures
arising naturally on topological spaces and on their cohomology and homotopy
groups is the language of operads and algebras over an operad. This language
was proposed by J. P. May in the 1970s to describe the structures on various
loop spaces.
This book presents a detailed study of the concept of an operad in the categories of topological spaces and of chain complexes. The notions of an algebra and a coalgebra over an operad are introduced, and their properties are investigated. The algebraic structure of the singular chain complex of a topological space is explained, and it is shown how the problem of homotopy classification of topological spaces can be solved using this structure. For algebras and coalgebras over operads, standard constructions are defined, particularly the bar and cobar constructions. Operad methods are applied to computing the homology of iterated loop spaces, investigating the algebraic structure of generalized cohomology theories, describing cohomology of groups and algebras, computing differential in the Adams spectral sequence for the homotopy groups of the spheres, and some other problems.
Graduate students and research mathematicians working in algebraic topology.

Cutting-edge Catastrophic Theatre Artistic Director Jason Nodler created the play Life Is Happy and Sad as a prequel to his 2006 cult musical from Infernal Bridegroom Productions, Speeding Motorcycle. The play is based on the music and life of Daniel Johnston, Austin's only manic-depressive musician ever to inspire an iPhone video game. "One play wasn't enough," Nodler has said. "Daniel is so prolific, and his body of work so remarkable, I feel like I could make ten of these things." Nodler takes us on a swirling journey through Johnston's early years, using his idiosyncratic songs as text, and his abiding friendship with David Thornberry as subject. Matt Brownlie, local front man for bands Bring Back the Guns and Groceries, plays young Daniel. 8 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. Through December 19. DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway.

Gesture-based Video Game Combines Music, Rhythm, Fun and Exercise for the Entire Family
BEIJING, BRUSSELS– May 9th 2011 – Beijing EEDOO Technology Ltd. (abbreviated as EEDOO), the leading digital entertainment products and online services provider in China, and Softkinetic Studios, the leading provider of gesture based interactive entertainment experiences, today announced that EEDOO has selected SoftKinetic Studios' gesture-recognition game DanceWall to be featured as a bundled title with the launch of the iSec gesture-recognition console system.
The iSec is a high-performance, home entertainment platform that EEDOO targets at the rapidly growing market for multimedia and gaming applications in China. Aimed at 120 million homes, the iSec will provide unique, 3D gesture-based multimedia and gaming entertainment content to Chinese families. The iSec is the result of two years of development that originated from the S&P business unit of Lenovo; the platform will launch in China in the second half of 2011.
"DanceWall is a very natural choice for us, as it brings a very intuitive and innovative gesture-based experience to our customers of all ages," said Jack Luo, CEO of EEDOO. "DanceWall is a perfect title to demonstrate our goal of providing the most exciting 3D gesture-recognition entertainment for families and friends across the whole of China."
In DanceWall the goal for players is to achieve the highest score possible by successfully maneuvering their onscreen avatar to fit through cutout shapes, holes, in approaching walls. Players control avatars' movements by their own in-room movements, and can conform the avatar to any shape players make with their body. DanceWall can be played alone, or as a team of two players. DanceWall, developed in collaboration between SoftKinetic Studios and Orange Vallée, is powered by SoftKinetic's gesture-recognition middleware, iisu™.
"It is a true honor for us to provide a game to be part of the launch of the iSec," said Mike Nichols, General Manager of SoftKinetic Studios. "We're looking forward to the release of the platform and to providing more high-quality gesture-recognition titles to one of the most important gaming audiences in the world."
SoftKinetic Studios, a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftKinetic, is a collection of highly skilled, experienced game developers building the next generation of interactive entertainment using gesture recognition. Officially formed in September of 2009, the SoftKinetic Studios team has been creating several games and serious games projects, while developing a platform independent Engine and toolset designed specifically for creating full-body, gesture-based entertainment.

What is granite?
Granite is an igneous rock. This means that at one time during its development, it was melted like volcanic lava. Unlike lava, however, this melted rock never reached the surface. It remained trapped inside, where it slowly cooled and crystallized, resulting in a very uniform, speckled stone that ranges in color from blacks and grays to pinks, browns, and reds. Polished granite is a very durable stone, much harder than marble.
Granite has been popularly used for commercial purposes for many years. Granite can often be found on building exteriors, interior walls, and "high-traffic" floors. Granite will withstand almost any element including heat and cold.

Aspire Visa Comment
AUTHOR: Fabs - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 19, 2010POSTED: Friday, February 19, 2010
Sue, I too am at the end of my rope dealing with Aspire. I'm now learning that they have closed ALL credit card accounts and are no longer in the credit card business. However, I finally got to speak to a english speaking customer service/collections person this morning 2/19/10 and was told that they are starting collections from "scratch". I asked her what did that mean? Sue informed me that Columbus Bank & Trust no longer issues credit card and no longer handles billing/collections etc. so the records that they have are NOT complete. They dont know WHO owes what and therefore they are relying on the previous credit card holders to let them know if and when their credit accounts were paid off and provide documentation of all payments.
It sounds strange and very suspect to me and I told her that I was filing a complaint with the BBB in addition to filing a complaint with the FTC immediately. They sent me a statement saying that I owe them $1375.00 and also added a $39.00 late fee. I paid this card off nearly 3 years ago. I'm going to also dispute them on my credit reports and have decided to not give them another cent.
This is the WORST company I've ever dealt with and their business practices are beyond unethical. I wonder why the Federal Government and/or the Credit Bureaus have not gotten involved with the 1000's of complaints being filed against Aspire. You would think that the credit bureau or the powers that be would realize that all the consumers who have complained about being ripped off would take some kind of action and not allow them to report this bogus information on our credit reports.
I too am so done with Aspire! If anyone, anywhere has any information on filing a class action lawsuit than please let me know and definitely count me in. If anyone knows how to begin the process of gathering the data or what's all in involved please post that information as I promise to get involved. Enough is enough!
