Another Ambiguous Utopia
When I was younger, the first couple of years after I graduated from college, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I suppose you might call a social utopia, in that it was a utopian society. I was thinking about this for entirely individualist reasons, however. My basic premise was that, given that I was stuck in a menial job and wasn't sure where to go with my career, which I needed to have in order to earn money, I should first think about what I would do if I didn't need to have a career in order to earn money and then try to come up with the career that was as close as possible to that. Therefore, I tried envisaging what my life would be like in a sort of utopia where there wasn't any money or obligation for careers. I think my vision of the utopia was somewhat based on Anarres in The Dispossessed - I'm not sure what that means about me.
Ultimately, I came to realize that my imaginations about what kind of life I'd live in this utopia ultimately failed to show me much truth about the life I wanted to live without restrictions - because the social utopia itself functioned as a restriction for me. My ideal life, or at least the one that seems to appeal to me as I am the most, wouldn't be lived in my imagination of the perfect society. Rather, it would be spent flitting from society to society throughout a multiverse of infinite possibilities, always as an outside observer, never as a part. Better than any life I could imagine staying put in one place would be making a life out of traveling from place to place.
But this raises the question: does my concept of the ideal life therefore intrinsically rest upon the denial of social utopia?
Well, in answering that question, it's important to note that my vision of the perfect life is not exactly anti-social. In fact, my perfect daydream doesn't involve traveling from society to society all by myself - I would like to travel as a member of a little mini-society, one that would ideally be extremely small indeed but would nonetheless exist - and we members of this little mini traveling society would not group together out of mere convenience but would actually enhance the experience of our travels by sharing them with each other. In other words, society would be intrinsic to the experience just as much as anti-society would - ours would be a mini-society premised on our exclusion from the larger societies to which we travel but equally premised upon the existence and coherence of our mini-society.
So could you then call our little mini traveling society a utopia, a vision of the perfect society? That would solve my problem neatly - I do in fact have a vision of a social utopia, just not the one I thought I did five years ago. Unfortunately, I don't think I can straightforwardly answer this latest question with a simple "yes" - my mini-society, it seems to me, can be considered a utopia if and only if it does not depend on the existence of other societies that are not utopias. If it does depend on such non-utopian societies, then it can't be a utopia, because I think we all have a natural feeling that a society that intrinsically requires oppression for its existence, even the oppression of people outside that society, is far from perfect, no matter how nice it might be to be one of the oppressors (ESPECIALLY if it's actually the majority that's being oppressed by the minority, as in this case).
So the next question that needs answering is whether or not my mini-society does require oppression in order to exist. The easiest way to answer this in the negative would be to suggest that, even if not everybody in all of the societies could join my mini-society, they could all join some similar mini-society. Obviously, it wouldn't work for everyone to be traveling all the time, because then there would be no societies to which to travel. However, it could be feasible to imagine a situation sort of like Anarres where everyone paid the price of being in a non-traveling society sometime and spent the rest of their time traveling - everyone puts in the work of creating a society, but everyone also gets to reap the rewards of being able to travel from society to society.
I don't think, however, that this would be feasible, for the simple reason that I fear that too much traveling would ultimately destroy the coherence necessary to make all the societies the mini-societies travel to into societies in the first place. This isn't to deny that one can travel and still be very much a part of one's society. I'm clearly an American despite the fact that I spend some of my time touring other countries and have even lived in Scotland and China. But I also don't spend nearly enough of my time traveling to make it seem like an integral part of my life in the way I imagine it, and, for that matter, I already am more distant from my society than many other people who live in it. This suggests to me that either the traveling would be rather superficial and not a key part of people's lives, or else it takes up enough time and mental thought that it would lead to the blurring of societies in a way that would ultimately turn into precisely the kind of social utopia in which I wouldn't be able to achieve my personal dream. Thus, even if everyone from every society is free to travel some of the time, to take short vacations throughout the multiverse, we must still envision a division between mini-societies like mine, which spend the majority of our time in such traveling and try to do our best to minimize the influence of any one larger society and preserve our outsider status, and everyone else, who remains a solid part of their own societies, making them cohere as societies - although I should probably point out here that I don't envision some kind of bizarre stasis wherein societies never combine or diverge. I just don't want all the societies to completely cohere so that everything becomes bland and boring - change is not in and of itself undesirable, as long as it doesn't lead to a complete erasure of all distinctions everywhere.
This does not, however, intrinsically mean that I'm positing a non-utopian situation. After all, it's entirely possible that not everyone wants or needs to travel the way that I do. It's also entirely possible that there are actually an infinite variety of potentially utopian societies, especially if we posit that people are free to choose which society they live in such that utopias can thrive to encompass a variety of different ideas about what societies should be. If this were the case, it would mean that no repression would be necessary, and there would be no invidious distinctions between people. People who wanted to spend their whole life traveling could go off and form mini-societies like the one I imagine, and the people who preferred not to travel quite as much could go and form their own manifold utopias for us to travel between. This would seem to solve my problem quite nicely - no repression would be necessary, and I would still be able to fully realize my dream.
And yet I still can't help but wonder if it's really that easy, if the manifold utopias would really fulfill my dream. The reason why I wonder is, of course, because I draw on a number of different sources in coming up with my own vision of the ideal life. Part of it is because I love traveling, especially traveling in good company, in the real world, of course. But that's not all it is. I'm also drawing on all sorts of models in the fiction that impressed me as a child, whether it be The Lives of Christopher Chant or Hyperion or even The Myth Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve. But I'm also drawing on the very nature of reading fiction itself, the feeling of exploring all sorts of other societies (whether that's in speculative fiction, historical fiction, global fiction, or whatever) from a very personal standpoint. I have to admit that I love the kind of book that Farah Mendlesohn describes as immersive fantasy, where part of the pleasure of reading comes from the sense of figuring out the puzzle of where you actually are. But I also love the way that you get stakes in the fictional world through following the struggles of a character. And then I'm also drawing on the pleasurable experience of the imagination at its best - of creating new worlds - which, again, so often involves pain for the characters you create. And the experience of dreams, where often you're involved in a new society that you at once have and haven't created. And where, once again, conflict and suffering are involved.
In other words, ultimately, I'm not sure that traveling from perfect society to perfect society is really enough to fulfill my dream. I mean that sometimes, sure, all I want is the tourist experience where learning about the customs of a new place and the perhaps violent history that has been transcended now is satisfying. But I'm not sure that's all I want. I'd also like to briefly drop in and get involved in the politics of a new world (and maybe I can't believe in a utopia with politics). I'd like to see the mythical stories I read about in books or made up myself come to life. I'd like to see all kinds of events and situations that simply wouldn't happen in a utopia. My wishes ultimately seem to involve at least occasionally being a tourist, a slummer, in the problems and sufferings of others. And so I go right back again to wondering if maybe my vision is intrinsically anti-utopian.
And yet, there's a very simple answer to this particular anxiety, contained in the way I described the problem itself. Because, after all, if my model is books and video games and tv shows, dreams and the creative process - well, books and video games and tv shows and dreams and the creative process can't be anti-utopian, can they, because they're not real? If Witch Week or the Word quartets or Xenogears do a good enough job of fooling me into thinking they've created a new society, then surely I don't actually need real new societies to be traveling to? All I need is something that seems convincing enough to do the job for me as an outsider. If I never really want to be a part of any society, just to look at it from the outside, then this hardly seems to require real pain, real suffering, real non-utopians. Fake societies, fiction, ought to do the job.
But I have to admit that it still makes me nervous - that my pleasure should depend on pain, even fake pain. There's this guy, Rich Puchalsky, who is a frequent commentator on The Valve. Back when I used to read The Valve a lot, I used to find him extremely irritating, although this was now long enough ago, and I have purposefully blanked out enough of those memories, that I don't exactly remember why. He also was a frequent commentator on Hitherby, where he was much less annoying and actually usually fascinating. Anyway, Rich Puchalsky made many comments (for all I know, he's still making them) about a theory of the author as demiurge (here's an example). The theory always bothered me. A real demiurge, if such a beast exists, would be responsible for a heck of a lot of pain and suffering. But authors aren't - there's a difference between my suffering or your suffering and the suffering of characters in books. So authors must be intrinsically better than demiurges and have no reason to think of themselves as demiurges, given that demiurges are such exquisitely terrible things to be. And yet I still find myself haunted by Rich Puchalsky's theory, on a level I can't fully explain.
I don't think that I think that fictional characters are real, after all. There seems to be a big difference between what it means to be me and what it means to be Charles Morgan or Kadie or Fei Fong Wong. Surely they don't have consciousness. This seems to be even more true of the characters I make up - in an odd sort of way, the very way they "come to life" in my brain, the way I have to check the actions I posit for them against the actions I can actually accept them performing, the way I don't even have to make up the plots for their stories because they make them up themselves, seems to underline their lack of independent existence from me - I think it's the way they exist so fully within the confines of my brain. They can't possibly have independent consciousnesses of their own - they don't need them! Real people can surprise me - the characters in my brain never can, because I only ever can expect them to do exactly what they would do. That must mean they don't have minds outside of mine. And since I don't suffer when they suffer - in fact, I often take quite a lot of pleasure in it when they suffer - surely there's no mind where any suffering can be occurring? The problem seems even less in dreams. One of my best dreams ever kind of epitomizes for me the perfect dream experience. On the one hand, I was the girl who had to run away from her father and was trying desperately to escape in the secret basement and was in a panic as she listened to find out whether or not her father was chasing her. And on the other hand, I was also the writer of the story about the girl running away from her father who was carefully analyzing whether I was putting the right clues in the narrative and chuckling about the way that I had made aspects of the story that the girl herself might not have noticed potentially guessable to the reader. I was both at the same time - and so there was clearly no real suffering going on. The suffering that the girl - I - was feeling, the anxiety, was really just a tactic for heightening my experience of suspense, and an extremely effective tactic, at that. I woke up from that dream with a sense of pure pleasure.
So I'm not sure what it is about Rich Puchalsky's theory of fictional worlds as Gnostic maya that so bothers me, what it is that makes me feel awkward about my proposed solution to the problem of how to combine my vision of a dream life with my vision of utopia. Maybe it's just the psychology of it - that my happiness as a person should seem to depend on the pleasure I take in suffering, even if that suffering isn't real. I mean, I think - I hope - I enjoy the suffering, am able to enjoy the suffering, because I know it isn't real, because it's a narrative device - and yet for all that I can't get away from the psychological truth that I enjoy the suffering, that I want my worlds to suffer through problems, that "human struggles" really do equate to "narrative," to "story" after all.
And so I return to my image of narrative as "a makeshift bandage on a giant seeping wound." The reason why narrative works as a bandage for the wound is precisely because narrative and the wound are both made possible by the same fundamental fact of individual consciousness. Without individual consciousness, there is no need for narrative. But, of course, without individual consciousness, there is no need for utopia, either. Because utopias are social. Utopias are about how to better improve experience through developing societies. And "A society is a body of individuals of a species, generally seen as a community or group, that is outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, comprising also possible characters or conditions such as cultural identity, social solidarity, or eusociality." But, as practicing Jews like to remind themselves, this is irrelevant to transcendence because God is One.
And so. . . well, I always think of myself as being on the side of those who imagine utopias, because I feel like thinking that all utopias are dystopias must be a sign of despair. Because I believe that we are far from the perfect society and that improvement is possible. Because I have an odd tendency to read societies intended as dystopias as better than our own [umm, brief completely irrelevant sidenote. . . not only is Alex Proyas directing The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag but he is also directing The Tripods trilogy?!?!?!]. Because I do believe that societies have huge effects on individual lives and that societies can change for the better and that this is an effort worth making.
But I'm still an agnostic Gnostic utopian. And that means that I need to remember that utopia, too, can only ever be a makeshift bandage on the giant seeping wound. I'd like it to be a good bandage, as good as we can make it. But there is no perfection achievable in this world.

Hey -- I keep meaning to post on this, especially considering you're talking about *me* and all, but, wait a minute -- wow, it's been over a year. But hmm, now that I'm looking at this blog after months of absence -- maybe now I can post without having so much to say that I just won't say it any more?
Because I do want to say why I don't think "social utopia", the way I (who am Abangaku, for anyone who stumbles across this year-old post and is confused) was using it in my post at least, is a redundancy. Because, I do think I'm using "social" in a different way from how you're using it -- actually, I'm not sure how you're using it, but when I talk about "social", I mean, on the level of socializing, and I'm not sure if you're saying that a utopia has to be social because there obviously couldn't be any such thing as an antisocial utopia, or because dealing with social features has to be something that's programmed in to the design of a utopia in order for it to be a utopia worth its snuff. But neither of these is what I'm talking about.
I think I'm actually even using a different kind of adjective-noun relationship here -- maybe, with your background in linguistics, you can tell me what it's called. I mean a society that's utopian as far as its social aspect goes, the way that, say, "perfect couple" refers to two people who are perfect in so far as they're a couple, but it doesn't imply that the people, taken in their own rights, are perfect. And, again, I'm using the word "social" to refer to the sphere of socialization. So -- I guess I basically mean a society in which people socialize in "the best of all possible" ways.
What I guess is interesting about this particular specification I'm making here about what "social utopia" means, is the consequence that no society can be set up as a social utopia; a social utopia cannot be legislated into existence. A social utopia exists on the level of habits and social mores, not on the level of laws, which don't have any jurisdiction here. It's the same gap between law and custom that means I can believe that certain forms of speech (hate speech, e.g.) should be socially censured, while still believing in their First Amendment rights to not be legally censored. I can even believe in a society that's otherwise utopian -- economically, politically, artistically and so on -- but that still isn't utopian socially -- in their day-to-day interaction, away from the grand protections given to them by being part of the society at large, people still exclude each other, patronize each other, hurt each other's feelings unnecessarily, and so on.
Maybe that seems like a small price to pay for a society that's otherwise utopian; but, I feel like the ideal of a social utopia is still important, because in practice I'm a lot closer to making the world around me a *social* utopia than any other kind. Changing the world begins with yourself, or however that old Buddhist slogan goes.

Now -- this is probably not at all what Tannert and Altenberg (the article is actually officially by Tannert alone, by the way, but Tannert decided to fill the part I quoted so fast and thick with quotes from Altenberg that I decided to give Altenberg co-credit in *my* quote of Tannert) mean by "social utopia". What my guess is as to what *they* mean is a society, probably a very temporary society judging by their idealized-rave-party context, that's uncategorically utopian, but, the way in which it's utopian, the way it even got to *be* utopian, is exactly through the dominance of the "social", in my sense of being of-or-relating-to-socialization. Like, I think they're saying that a great dance party can be utopian exactly *because* everything that's not social is, finally, blocked out. So, to sum up, one of their "social utopias" is certainly going to be a "social utopia" by my definition; but, also, I suspect that their concept of social utopia is far narrower than mine.
I guess that also leads to the question, intriguing also in the context of *your* post at large: is it possible for a utopia to still be a utopia if one of the conditions for its utopianness is that it be temporary? I feel like I hear all the time about one of the glories of rock music being the fact that it's so of-the-moment, so "dispensable" as the phrase goes (I am not a fan of this word). I wonder if the same could be true of something that could really pass muster as a *society*.
I'm sure there's more to say about this post, or about the earlier post of yours that this links to; but, most importantly, having just looked through this whole thing again: I'm in awe of the sheer *sweep* of the thing. Starting out with fantasies of escape from a menial job and end up with "this is irrelevant to transcendence because God is One" -- this is sheer awesomeness.
Expect more from me soon...!

Responding to your first comment first, yes, I think we are having different concepts of social, here. For me, when I saw social, I read it as meaning "having to do with society" (as defined, perhaps, on Wikipedia, as mentioned in my post). Therefore, by "social" I meant something far broader than "socializing" but rather everything that makes up the boundaries of society. Since we speak of "utopian societies," to me this felt redundant - you can't have a "utopian individual" - it makes no sense as a concept - so in order for a thing to be utopian, it must be a society. In other words, the unit that we talk about when we talk about utopias is always already the society.
But socializing is obviously not equivalent to society, and is also a perfectly valid referent for the ambiguous adjective "social." So I think I have a better grasp of your meaning now.
In response to your contention that "a social utopia cannot be legislated into existence," I have some confused thoughts. I think there is a sense in which this is obviously true, which I come across when I read "people still exclude each other, patronize each other, hurt each other's feelings unnecessarily, and so on." Obviously there is no way to legislate a society in which these things are not true into existence. On the other hand, I'm somewhat skeptical as to whether it's possible to have individual people without these things occurring, so your sense of "social utopia" may fade into my sense of transcendence - in other words, I can't really imagine people who are still people having the kind of existence you're discussing here, so the only kind of social utopia I can imagine is one in which society is destroyed entirely through a process of transcendence. OTOH, I can also imagine socializing being better than it is now (without being perfect), which I might be willing to call a "social utopia" (or perhaps a "socializing utopia"?) - but then I'm less certain that it's obvious that you can't legislate it into existence - surely law plays at least some role in defining people's spectrum of possibility? That doesn't mean I disagree with you; it just means I'm not absolutely certain I agree.
Oh - and as for the society that is utopian except for the flaws in its socializing - I think I follow you there, except when you list the social flaws as a "price to pay." Since we already have these flaws in our own, non-utopian society, it doesn't seem to me as though the flaws are a price that needs to be paid in order to have the qualified utopia? After all, if these flaws were the price, then how come we haven't already paid and gotten our otherwise perfect utopia?

I think that any society that is a society and is also uncategorically utopian is in fact a utopia, so I'm okay with that.
I don't know if I can accept the use of the term "utopia" to describe something temporary, though. If it's really utopia, then it shouldn't hold the seeds of its own destruction. I mean, okay, I'm not the boss of English, and I don't get to decide what words mean. But, for me, at least, I wouldn't want to use the word "utopia" for that kind of situation. Otherwise, I feel like you're broadening the meaning too much, losing the use of the term.
In addition, thank you for your kind words!

Darren Hayman & Wave Pictures split 'single'
I can't be arsed with Hayman since the last album.
This might turn out to be a mistake but sdaly I doubt it.
I think his last couple are great...
he's matured as a song writer and singer.
In particular, the collection of Uke-based Static Caravan seven inches is an understated gem. That label has yet to put out a bad record.
That was the recet thing wasn't it?
Those were songs that pre-dated the Secondary Modern album weren't they?
The Secondary Modern album is just damn mediocre. It's like he's trying to write songs in a "Darren Hayman style" only without the wit, fragility and emotion that made what he did so great.
But I didn't detect a huge song-writing style leap
from the SC singles to the Secondary Modern record.
To be honest I've not really tracked down the Static Caravan stuff
I got the first EP (forget what it was called) and it was alright, never got the first solo album then got the second so I don't know whether it was a suddden drop or if his solo stuff's never been as good as Hefner for the most part.
The songs from Pram Town he's played live
are very good indeed, so I'm looking forward to hearing them on record.
I can't quite contain myself for the Wave Pictures/Hayman do Springsteen record though. Seriously... That said, David's version of Streets of Philadelphia with Andre Herman-Dune was a bit meh.
"So far I've recorded 2 and the Wave Pictures have recorded 13"
Yeah, that's the Wave Pictures alright!
Supposedly Pram Town has an Emmy The Great duet on.

.. people were lovely but the town was a bit lacking (quite 'Detroit') and my mind often wandered..
I was explaining to a young spurs fan the other day how Tottenham might yet do well this year - as Manchester City haven't spectacularly collapsed in a while.
He scoffed at the suggestion. This was a new City, full of talent organisation and resolve instilled by their Italian manager Roberto Mancini
It's true, they are packed full of talent and a bankrolled by a family than controls apparently 10% of the worlds remaing supply of oil. it is only a matter of time before they conquer every arena in football. But they still remain Manchester City and it is in their DNA to have at at least two more Biblical screw ups on their way. Roberto Mancini's cool italian will just trail off into disbelief, because when the wheels next come off this giant panjandrum a soundtrack by Henry Mancini will sound more appropriate.
My young friend only had memories that go back to Newcastle United level fuck ups and collapses. When that great Geordie Circus starts to go wrong (King Kev and its sequel) it has a real element of tragedy, like a good Woody Allen film. When City goes wrong it's like a Naked Gun sequel directed by Cecile B Demile.
(see Alan Ball, theatre of base comedy etc etc)
How, from here, does this team, which thrashed United 6-1 at their most recent meeting go wrong?
Well the characters are all their waiting for the storyline to coalesce around them. A large collection of the best players from second tier teams that have won nothing are sprinkled liberally with some timeless comedy genius. Headbanger matrial artist Nigel De Jong, who tried to kick a Spanish players head off in a world cup final, serial sulk and Mutley look alike Carlos Tevez, ex footballer turned millionaire sofa pilot Wayne Bridge.
And Super Mario, who it is actually very difficult to wish ill of as his antics have apparently captured the hearts of even United fans.
The fugitive Italian is misunderstood in Italy apparently but 100% understood in Britain's north west. 'Daft' probably translates into Italian as 'mentally ill ' but in large parts of what was Lancashire it is a valid lifestyle option, in the way that 'dandy' or more recently'Sloan' might apply in London.
Mancunians love Mario Ballotelli because they have known and loved his like before. George Formby, Norman Wisdom, Frank Sidebottom.... Bez.... All cool in a particular Lancastrian style that looks so appropriate to Super Mario you would think Franny Lee discovered him doing keepy uppy football tricks in The Pheonix club.
It will be a tragedy for Ballotelli when his team blows up, with a great comedy fart noise, in some future football final but he is essentially a great player as well as a comedian, and the real laughs at that point will come from the uncomprehending stare and gestures of Mario's straight man and manager. Much of the Norths existenial meaning and Manchester City's place in the cosmos will be lost until "Bobby Manc" learns what Daft is.
(I feel compelled to add that the aforementioned 6-1 thrashing started with a brilliant goal from senior Ballotelli)

Kurt Busch Starting 23rd In Aaron's 499 At Talladega
April 26, 2008
TALLADEGA, Ala. (April 26, 2008) - Miller Lite Dodge driver Kurt Busch will start 23rd in Sunday's Aaron's 499 here at Talladega Superspeedway after clocking in with an official qualifying lap of 184.811 mph (51.815 seconds).
"That was a pretty good pickup from the first lap to the second; almost eight tenths (of a second) and we're pretty happy with that," said Busch, who was the 17th of 46 drivers making qualifying attempts here today. "Our car will be great in the race. With it being an impound situation, we went pretty much with our flat-out race trim out there in qualifying.
"What will really prove interesting is seeing some of the 'go-or-go-home driver' rip off some fast laps and take some of the starting spots up front," said Busch. "It should make for quite an interesting start to the race. You'll see guys falling fast from the front back through the pack, while others should be blasting their way on up through there. It could be a really hairy start and we'll be on our toes to try to avoid anything that may happen.
"Once everything sorts itself out, we're hoping to be able to draft with the lead pack all day and put ourselves in a position to win during the final run to the checkers."
Busch's words proved prophetic as three of the top-five starters in Sunday's race came from the "go-or-go-homers" list, the drivers not currently in the top 35 in car owners' points.
Heading that list is Joe Nemecheck, who claimed the pole for tomorrow's second of four 2008 restrictor-plate races. Nemecheck was the next-to-last driver to take to the track and he turned in a lap of 187.386 mph (51.103 seconds) to claim his fourth career Talladega pole and relegate Tony Stewart to the second starting spot. Stewart, who went out seventh in the order, turned in a lap of 186.896 mph (51.237 seconds). Ken Schrader, another "go-or-go-homer," starts third after posting a 186.499-second-(51.346-second) lap. A.J. Allmendinger, another non-top 35 points member, will start fourth after clocking in with a lap of 186.423 mph (51.367 seconds). Red-hot Kyle Busch will start fifth after posting a qualifying lap of 186.416 mph (51.369 seconds).
David Ragan, Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Jimmie Johnson round out Sunday's top-10 starters. Ryan Newman was the fastest of the three Penske drivers here today and will start 21st after turning in a lap of 184.929 mph (51.782 seconds). Busch starts one row back in 23rd and rookie Sam Hornish Jr. starts 37th (lap of 183.744 mph/52.116 seconds).
"I'm not too concerned about how we qualified today," Busch said. "It's a long race and you have to be there in the end to have a shot at winning. The first time that I came here to Talladega, this place ate me up and spit me out. I didn't know where I was by time the race was over. It's taken a while to figure this race track out. It feels great that I've got a great Penske team behind me. We're coming off a second-place finish at Daytona; hopefully we can duplicate that tomorrow."
Sunday's Aaron's 499 (188 laps, 500.08 miles) has a 1:00 p.m. local (2:00 p.m. EDT) starting time and features live coverage by FOX-TV and MRN Radio.

What is a Position?
A Position is essentially a job type or template to use for Openings. A Position determines the Opening's:
- Position Description
- Position Requirements
- Application Form
An example of a Position would be a Delivery Driver or Cashier.
To learn how to add a new Position, click here.
What is a Location? What is a Location Group?
On the other hand, a Location determines the Opening's:
- Address
- Country
- Time Zone
- Language
- Brand
- SMS Number
An example of a Location would be San Francisco, CA (city) or Southern California (region), but you can set up Locations however you would like!
To learn how to add a new Location, click here.
You can also place Locations into different Location Groups. You can think of Location Groups as folders used for organizing Locations.
For example, if you had two Locations (San Francisco and Los Angeles), you could place them into a "California" Location Group.
To learn how to add a new Location Group, click here.
What is an Opening?
Together, a Position and Location make an Opening, which you can think of as a job opening that you are hiring for. So, when creating a new Opening, if you select the Position as "Delivery Driver" and your Location as "San Francisco," your Opening would be "San Francisco - Delivery Driver."
Each Opening has its own Opening Details and Hiring Workflow that you can customize to fit your needs.

Getting Past the Popularity Contest
Let's do a little free association. What words come to mind when you hear the words "student council election?" Hmmm . . . how 'bout "popularity contest?"
Studies have shown that young women are more likely to pursue politics later in life if they get involved in student government. It's good training for later campaigns and it can actually be fun. But who wouldn't cringe when your opponent might be the captain of the football team, has flunked U.S. History, and runs with a slogan like "Vote for Todd, He Rocks!" It makes your civic minded, way-more-mature brain cells want to just scream.
But hold on! You can still win!! The key to every political victory is knowing your target demographic. If you wouldn't characterize yourself as one of the "popular people," fear not! You just have to do some grassroots work. The best thing about not being one of the popular people is that you are actually in the majority. This means more votes for you if you know where to find them. You may not hang out with the band kids, the jocks, the art crowd or whatever other species exists in your high school's ecosystem, but you all probably share one thing in common: you can't stand people who assume superiority based on nothing more than their physical and behavioral "cuteness." So unite with your peers and convince them that they have everything to gain by your representation.
One final thought about the whole popularity thing. Why shouldn't a smart, articulate, responsible young woman be popular? You might not be giving yourself enough credit and you may be more popular than you think.
If anyone has had some student government election success, let's hear about it! Post your experience!
–Kelly Keenan Trumpbour

DAILYKENN.com -- Do white lives matter? Apparently not.
White people must always be viewed as oppressors (bourgeois) and blacks as oppressed (proletariat).
From thedailyjournal.com ▼
A Millville man faces 30 years in state prison after pleading guilty Monday to first-degree murder.
Justin Daughtry, 25, of Millville will be sentenced Jan. 12 in Cumberland County Superior Court.
Daughtry pleaded guilty this week before Judge Robert G. Malestein in the April 2016 killing of 21-year-old Port Norris resident Sean Hill.
Millville police on April 22, 2016, responded to 805 N. 2nd St. for a property check when they found Hill unresponsive inside an abandoned home.
Hill had suffered blunt force trauma to the head and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office.
The Prosecutor's Office said Daughtry will not be eligible for parole.

Music Helps Elevate IQ
Among the many first topics to be cut in class budgets are artwork and music. In Western art music, the most typical kinds of written notation are scores, which embrace all of the music components of an ensemble piece, and parts, which are the music notation for the individual performers or singers. Carnatic music, in style within the southern states, is basically devotional; nearly all of the songs are addressed to the Hindu deities.
In historical times the efficiency of music was reserved to persons of cultic significance: priests and magicians. Track texts are a badly neglected space of study, both in connection with music itself and with the wider culture. Pitch is a facet of a sound that we are able to hear, reflecting whether one musical sound, note or tone is "larger" or "lower" than one other musical sound, word or tone.
Alongside creating, performing, and directing there are lots of important professionals who serve the institutional structure of musical life, resembling publishers, printers, music engravers, impresarios, and critics. Sachs, Curt 1940 The History of Musical Devices. Although jazz musicians are making up the music, jazz music nonetheless has guidelines ; the musicians play a collection of chords …

TV Presenter and school pupil join together to promote forces charity
A Giggleswick School pupil features alongside author, adventurer and TV presenter Levison Wood in a new short film promoting the work of charity Children of Heroes. Emily Guy, who is in Year 9, was asked to take part in the film by the charity to help it promote its work to potential donors. Emily's story in the video was produced and filmed on location at the school near Settle in Yorkshire.
The charity helps educate and mentor the children of fallen servicemen and women. Levison Wood is one of the charity's patrons having served as an Army Officer in the British Parachute Regiment, fighting against Taliban insurgents in Helmand, Kandahar and Zabul in 2008. He has since gone on to become a successful author and TV presenter working with the National Geographic, Animal Planet, Channel 4 and the BBC.
Emily lost her father, who was serving in Iraq, just days before she was born. The charity now helps to fund Emily's place at the school. The film demonstrates every person's need for a support network and highlights why it is important for children and young people to have consistency in their education.
Emily's mother, Helen Guy, who lives in Skipton with Emily and her brother Henry, said of Emily's connection to the charity
Children of Heroes enables Emily to attend Giggleswick School and without their help this would not be possible. The charity recognises that the children of our fallen servicemen and women sadly miss out, significantly, in many ways due to the lack of that parent in their lives. Both myself and the Trustees of Children of Heroes believe that one of the ways we can compensate those children for their loss is to provide them with a first class, outstanding education. In addition the charity provides teenagers with a selection of mentors to ensure that they have an abundance of appropriate advice, experiences and opportunities to take them successfully into their adult lives. The children of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice deserve this.
Co – founded by Zain Naqi and Will Mauder-Taylor, the charity has a discreet approach to charitable fundraising in order to protect the families with whom they work. There are no paid employees and all funds raised go to the charitable cause.
The school has other strong links to the military. Its own Combined Cadet Force includes one of only 18 Royal Marine detachments in the UK.
Will Mauder – Taylor said of his time spent making the film at Giggleswick School
It has been a pleasure working with Emily and meeting staff and pupils here. It takes a lot of courage to stand in front of the camera and be your authentic self, bearing all to an unseen audience. I hope Emily's father would rest safe in the knowledge that his son and daughter will flourish in such an environment before in time deciding where to wander their own paths in life. It is also my hope that the film encourages more people to engage with Children of Heroes and the discreet work we do to give those who have suffered such a bereavement, as a result of a parent's sacrifice, a simple leg-up in life.
The film can be viewed on the School's website and social media account as well as on Children of Heroes' Vimeo account https://vimeo.com/169549132 . To donate online to the charity visit www.childrenofheroescharity.com

As per usual the life I want has been put on hold for the life I have. I have not really been working on my 101 list, more important things have been begging for attention. One of those things is finding a job; I have been focusing on education based jobs, as that is my ultimate goal.
I have been to the Philly Art Museum, got a mani and a peti (with my sister no doubt), finished a chemise, ran but did not donate to a travel fund auction and have seen a bunch of movies both at home and in the theater (not actually on the list, but still fun). So that is numbers; 25, 27, 91 and 98.
I think next week I will start on no. 6, with Thankful Thursday and may be no. 12 or 23, depending on if I'm feeling like fiction or non. Then once things quit down there will be some mad sewing in order to make one more chemise and two non fitted dresses, no. 27 again. The fitted dresses will happen after I loose all the wieght and complete no. 57.

Brian Loggie, M.D.
As one of the few experts in peritoneal mesothelioma, Dr. Brian Loggie studies and treats one of the rarest types of cancer, the second most common type of mesothelioma. He is currently the Harold J. Bonstetter Professor of Surgery at the School of Medicine at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. He also holds the position of chief of surgical oncology and the director at Creighton University Medical Center's Cancer Biology Program.
Dr. Loggie is a widely-respected expert in the field of cancers of the abdominal cavity, including peritoneal mesothelioma. He is also an expert in cancers that are metastatic and has helped to develop novel treatments, like heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy, a once uncommon treatment that is now widely used. He is also the member of several professional organizations and holds several patents from his research.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Loggie's areas of expertise mostly include surgical oncology, the surgical treatment of cancers. He also specializes in treating rare cancers and orphan diseases. These include peritoneal mesothelioma, peritoneal carcinomatosis, cutaneous malignant melanoma, pseudomyxoma peritonei, and abdominopelvic and retroperitoneal sarcomas. He also has expertise in managing patient care and treatment for complicated and recurrent tumors.
Education and Early Career
Dr. Loggie's education began with an undergraduate degree from Loyola College in Montreal, Quebec. He then earned his medical degree at McGill University in Montreal. He completed a surgical residency program at Montreal General Hospital and earned a graduate degree from McGill in experimental surgery. He then went on to complete a clinical and a research fellowship at the University of Illinois at Chicago in surgical oncology.
In his early career, before ending up at Creighton University, Dr. Loggie held faculty positions in Chicago at the University of Illinois, at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. It was during his time in Winston-Salem, working at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center that he was a leader in the development of a novel new treatment for peritoneal mesothelioma, called HIPEC.
Development of HIPEC
Dr. Loggie is a pioneer of a novel treatment for peritoneal mesothelioma called HIPEC, or heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. When he began working on this procedure in the early 1990s it was virtually unheard of and not many people were advancing treatments for this rare cancer. The procedure uses surgery to remove the bulk of tumors in the abdominal cavity and then circulates heated chemotherapy drugs to target any remaining cancer cells. It works remarkably well and has given new hope to many patients who thought they had no other options. Today the treatment is almost standard.
Current Position and Research
Dr. Loggie is currently the chief of oncology surgery and a professor at Creighton University where he leads the department, teaches medical students, guides fellowships and residencies, and directs the Cancer Biology Program. He leads and conducts research into rare cancers and diseases, including peritoneal mesothelioma. In addition to his research that helped develop HIPEC, Dr. Loggie also researches genetic factors in mesothelioma and other rare cancers.
Honors and Organizations
With his dedication to treating patients, researching new treatments, and expertise in rare and orphan diseases, Dr. Loggie has become a member of a number of prestigious professional organizations and has won several awards. His memberships include the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada, the Society of Surgical Oncology, the Southeastern Surgical Congress, the American College of Surgeons, the Association for Academic Surgery, the Canadian Association of General Surgeons and several more.
Every year from 2001 to the present, Dr. Loggie has been included as one of the Best Doctors in America. He also won the Creighton University 2010 Magis Award for his work and leadership of a team of surgeons that traveled to Haiti after the massive earthquake. Together the team administered emergency treatment and surgery to victims of the natural disaster.
Any patient with a rare cancer, orphan disease, or peritoneal mesothelioma could benefit from working with Dr. Loggie. His extensive experience and research into these diseases has made him an expert in many areas of medicine that most other doctors know very little about. Many patients with rare diseases or with few other options for treatment turn to Dr. Loggie for hope and excellent care.

Above: Not the real Paquete, just a regular old 1 terabyte hard drive.
Part of our ongoing series about the internet in Cuba, this week we look at one of the most interesting and elusive parts of Cuban internet: El Paquete.
Almost everybody in Cuba knows about it. Some say it's one of the greatest inventions to ever hit the island. It's El Paquete Semanal, or The Weekly Package. It's the App Store, Netflix, and Spotify all rolled into one, delivered right to your door. It is a compilation of everything—well, almost everything. Games, software, apps, music, movies, pictures, news, TV shows, sports, e-shop websites, and videos. You name it, and the Paquete has it. And if it doesn't have it, you can ask your regular Paquete dealer to include it, and it will probably be there next week.
But let's back up. The Paquete is, at its most simply, a one-terabyte hard drive, that you can have delivered to your house for 1 CUC each week. You check out what's on it and copy what you want. It has all sorts of international content, mostly pirated, as well as content created in Cuba, like local music.
Of course, the Paquete isn't really just a hard drive. It's a whole network of producers, distributors, and dealers that make sure it shows up every week with new content. Though most people think there's a central source of the content for the Paquete, there's a variety of different dealers and middlemen that add and remove content based on the preferences of their customers.
With its terabyte of information, the Paquete is one of the most popular product in the country. Some recent surveys estimate that about 63% of Habaneros use the Paquete. It's incredibly popular among young people in the country.
For young Cubans, the Paquete is a great alternative to wifi hotpots and other forms of internet access. Not only is it cheaper than a wifi hotspots it's much faster. One CUC will let you download as much as you like from the Paquete, while it costs two CUCs an hour at a wifi hotspot. And a movie could take hours to download on a typical Cuban connection.
But the Paquete isn't only used by young Cubans. There's a wide variety of content, appealing to all sectors of Cuban society. Though it's a relatively novel product, it has won over nearly all Cubans, many of whom are involved with it directly or indirectly. Thousands of Cubans touch the Paquete by copying, distribution, promoting, or in the consumption itself.
It has also become a very important way for private business to promote their products and services. This obviously includes places like restaurants, bars, and clubs—but it can also include software developers, filmmakers, and repair shops. Many app developers and musicians even pay to have their products included in the Paquete, meaning their users and listeners can access them free of charge.
Due to its immense popularity, the Paquete has become one of the primary domestic entertainment sources on the island, even competing with the official television channels. Although not explicitly permitted by law, the Paquete is tolerated and openly distributed, with some of the creators and operators even giving interviews. Though the users of the Paquete may still not know exactly how the system operates, they wait every week for it to show up at their door.

Kotaku Australia, Tue Jan 8 2008 - by Logan Booker:
In early December, Vivendi sent Kotaku a nifty-looking email to promote a press event for the publisher's recently announced title Prototype. That event was held today.
The game combines the superhuman elements of Hulk and blends them with a complex story fitting of Scarface. If you want another comparison, think Crackdown meets Assassin's Creed.
Tuesday's event was a big affair for Vivendi and game developer Radical - not only were Kotaku and other invited guests shown as-yet-unseen section of the game, they were introduced to a new faction - the Black Watch. And it wasn't just Oz game press that got to see the goods - reps from Microsoft, Sony and various retailers were also present to inspect Prototype.
This sounds very promising. I'm like what I hear about the game and online co-op is a big plus.
Even though this is off-topic I want to know how Infamous is shaping up

There's A Mist In The Garden Today - Poem by Tina Ann Harvey
A sweet haven of contentment
Settles round the branches of trembling innocence
Found in trees long since discarded by their owner.
Recollections of sylphs and invisible winged creatures
Fringe the air with an atmosphere of unearthly beauty
In which a myriad clustering forms and shadows
Twilight the sultry colours that twist and writhe
In unending dances, exquisite in their natural beauty.
No-one, save me, can hear the pulsing beat of its earthy heart next to mine
Tranquillity is only there for those who search
And no woman's beauty can match the slender threads
Of gay quicksilver moods that change the garden's dress each day
From mood to mood, in burning heat and passion,
When summer makes it ashen
Spring flowers leave the earth
And winter chases softly in to freeze the soul
Plucking the very heart out
Then, trembling and light-hearted, changes into another gown;
What's that, I say again faintly, as though awakening
From deep slumbered sleep
There's a mist in the garden today.

"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love." Henry Drummond
This is so true in my experience. When my words, actions and thoughts stem from love, I am on top of the world. Anything and everything is better when infused with love. A meal created and served with love tastes better. A team that is bound by love performs better. A work that is created in love touches hearts at the deepest level.
Businesses and individuals that have the courage to lead from the heart have the greatest opportunity to create lasting value for everyone involved - the giver and the receiver.
Nothing knits hearts together and bonds people together in common purpose like love. I look forward to observing more companies come to this realization and get past the fear that things will spiral out of control if love becomes their basic operating principle. Love and profit are not mutually exclusive.

Last night I started work on the October kit for scrapaholix.
When I saw all the black and white I thought I would add colour as a contrast, but here is the finished LO and no colour added, it worked without. The only tiny bit of colour is in my daughters nail polish and Oliver's babygrow, and the two just happen to match perfectly!
The journalling reads "Special Family Bond. 6th March 2009. Catherine's first cuddle with baby Oliver. Not only are Catherine and Oliver cousins, they are also both triplets!"
This kit contains (all 12"x12") plain white cardstock, Black Cordinations, Daisy Bucket 'Little Black Dress' papers, a length of white organza ribbon with black spots, two balck and two white blossoms, black and white felt, sand paper and a pin! I used a Page Map from August 2009
The technique is paper piercing. I pierced a circle and patterns onto my layout, then with black embroidery thread joined up the holes. I added two black and white brads from my own stash. The title lettering was done using three different alphabets from my own stash, velvet lettering for 'special' and felt lettering for 'Bond', both from Making Memories. The word 'Family' uses
letter stickers from Doodlebug Designs.
For the journalling I wrote on white cardstock. I cut this into strips and inked the edges with chalk ink. The crystal brackets at top and bottom of the photograph are by 'Say It With Crystals' from Prima Marketing.
There are lots of papers left over so I will be back with more!

Germany unveiled Thursday tough new anti-terror measures after two attacks claimed by the Islamic State group, including a controversial proposal to strip jihadist fighters of their German nationality. Deportations of convicted criminal migrants will also be sped up while police resources are to be greatly boosted under the security package drawn up by Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere. "Germans who participate in fighting abroad for a terror militia and who have another citizenship should lose their German nationality," de Maiziere said.

Truth is power, plain and simple.
One day several years ago, someone I deeply trusted sat me down and said these words to me:
"Kitty, I haven't been completely honest with you."
That day, my entire world turned upside down.
Those words changed my life. They cut like knives into my gut, but they also cut through the bullshit faster than all the therapy, mantras and self-help courses I had ever done COMBINED!
The consequences of holding back our truth are dire; dire to ourselves personally, and dire to the planet collectively.
That is why I am hosting a free event that will empower you to tell your truth more often, with more grace.
Rather than offering you a '5 step system', I invite you to curl up in front of my fireplace, and connect with a part of your brain that runs deeper than intellect through the power storytelling.
You will hear my personal stories of:
- The day truth both wrecked and saved my life
- The most brutally (I mean beautifully!) honest assignment a mentor has ever given me, and how it transformed my whole life
- The time I almost quit my business for good, why I didn't, and the one surprising thing that shifted everything
You will also leave with these powerful skills:
- One simple action you can take anytime, anywhere to connect to your truth
- Tools to move beyond the cycle of fight/flight/freeze and speak your truth with confidence and grace
- A body based technique that will deepen your ability to be intimate with others and create real connections
- A Goddess myth (one you've probably never heard before) that will inspire you and empower you to be bold!
I'll say it one more time: truth is power.
Fill in your details below. I can't wait to see you in front of my fireplace!

In: Crohn's disease27 Jul 2012
Between 1998 and 2000, 224 patients with Crohn's disease who had attended the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Research Centre and Clinic, at the University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, were consecutively enrolled in a prospective longitudinal investigation to assess the clinical efficacy of bisphosponate therapy on bone mineral density in Crohn's disease patients. An additional 18 patients from Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, were also enrolled, giving a total of 242 patients. Data relevant to vitamin D were gathered at baseline assessment. Informed consent from each patient was received in writing before being enrolled. Crohn's disease and the site of the disease was diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic, radiological and histological examination. Those patients with a serum 25-OHD concentration below 25 nmol/L were classified as being vitamin D deficient and were separately analyzed for the purposes of this study.
The following exclusion criteria were applied at baseline: age less than 18 years; patients with known bone disorders other than osteoporosis (such as hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy and documented osteomalacia); patients with abnormal thyroid function; patients with significant renal impairment (serum creatinine twice the normal level); patients with clinical short bowel syndrome; patients on total parenteral or enteral nutrition; and patients with spinal anatomy that did not allow adequate assessment with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA, Hologic 4500, Hologic Inc, USA). In addition, patients who had received bisphosphonate or fluoride supplement in the 24 months before the data collection or pharmacological doses of calcium (greater than 1.0 g/day) or vitamin D (greater than 800 IU/day) in the six months before entry were excluded from the study. You will always be able to find cialis professional shopping with a trusted foreign pharmacy.

For those who thought Michael Myers would be finished at Halloween Horror Nights, he's back with a vengeance and he's bringing along new nightmares to make us scream in terror. Michael Myers is coming home once more to Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights this Fall!
Us fans may have thought it was over, but Michael Myers is still out there lurking in the shadows and this fall he will make his return in an all-new maze inspired by the second film in the classic horror series, "Halloween."
The iconic horror film sequel continues the story of masked killer, Michael Myers, as he stalks an entire town and relentlessly pursues his victims. Now, his focus turns to guests as Universal joins forces with Compass International Pictures to bring the haunting film's most suspenseful and terrifying moments to life at Halloween Horror Nights.
At both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood, Michael Myers returns in Halloween: Hell Comes to Haddonfield - a maze that's bigger and filled with more menacing scare-actors than the original, top-rated "Halloween" maze. It will begin with the final scene from "Halloween," where Michael Myers is presumed dead after falling from a bedroom window - only to disappear from the grounds. Guests will dodge Myers' lethal knife at every turn as they step into iconic scenes from the film - all culminating in a horrifying finale.
Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights is the ultimate Halloween event. For more than 20 years, guests from around the world have visited Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando and Hollywood to become victims inside their own horror film. The streets of each coast's event are transformed into highly-themed scare zones where menacing "scare-actors" lunge from every darkened corner. Multiple movie-quality haunted houses are erected throughout the event, based on anything from iconic slasher films to hit horror television series to haunting original stories.
Additional details about Halloween Horror Nights will be revealed soon.

No one wants a family member getting arrested on drug charges, but it is a reality that happens too often. Sometimes people are falsely accused of this criminal act. Authorities may try to persuade the family members of accused individuals to testify against them. The following are a few things you should do if your loved one is accused. Determine if they have a bond and if they are dependable. Some people who get drug charges are able to get temporary releases on bond.
Many people believe that there are very few options for defending against a charge of driving under the influence, particularly if there's a breath test or a field sobriety test conducted at the scene. However, there are some options available for you to defend yourself and potentially have these charges dismissed. With the help of a DUI defense attorney, here are two things you should consider. Acknowledge Poor Driving If you refused the breath test and blood test, there's no medical documentation of your blood alcohol content to prove that you were intoxicated.
If you were charged with a crime, and you are going through the process of fighting the charges in court, one way to prove your innocence is through the use of an expert witnesses. An expert witness is someone who has expertise in a subject related to the crime that you supposrfly committed and who's experience in a particular field can help shed light on your innocence. An expert witness is not someone who witnessed the crime or had anything to do with said crime; their testimony is used to establish background and context for the charges that you face.
A second arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) is a far more serious offense than the first. Your chances of having the offense reduced to a lesser one or dismissed are greatly diminished each time you are arrested again for a DUI. If this is your second arrest, here are some ways you can possibly help your case and avoid a harsh punishment. Attend Counseling It is important that you take action as soon as you are released from jail.
Any time that you find yourself hurt and in need of medical care due to someone else's negligence or disregard, you owe it to yourself to hire a personal injury lawyer who is equipped to help you navigate the legal system. Getting the help of a personal injury lawyer will help you to address the situation in a way that suits you most, so that you can care for yourself after a car wreck, dog bite, medical malpractice and other relevant situations.
When I was younger, I had a hard time following the rules. I got in with a bad group of friends, and I found myself in juvenile detention more than a few times. When I was sixteen, a teacher sat me down and explained where my life was leading. That teacher was the first person that believed in me, and I decided not to let him down. That day, I decided to change my life, and I did. Because of his sound advice, I was able to finish high school, get into a great college, and become a criminal attorney. I understand the uphill battle that troubled youth face, and I want to use this website to teach other people what they need to do to turn things around.
