Why We Shouldn't Just Get Along

By Melanie Lockwood Herman
During an interview for a recent Risk Assessment, a staff member at a client nonprofit asked, "Why can't we just get along?" She continued by describing the actions of senior leaders in her organization, whose behavior toward one another negatively affected employees at all levels of the organization. Instead of inspiring kindness, compassion and the willingness to help and support one another, the leadership team's behavior inspired mistrust.

To begin mending broken fences in an organization or heal a toxic culture, it's important to reflect on the reasons for conflict as well as its potential role in making an agency stronger and more effective.

The "Why" Behind Workplace Conflict

In "How to Resolve Workplace Conflicts," an article featured in the July/August issue of HR Magazine, the author describes four common reasons that give rise to troubling workplace disputes:

  1. Conflicting priorities
  2. Conflicting perspectives
  3. Conflicting assumptions
  4. Conflicting tolerances

The article's author, Tamara Lytle, explains that conflicting priorities are at the heart of conflict when staff battle over resources, incompatible goals, and change. Conflicting perspectives may be the confounding culprit when different backgrounds, worldviews, wants and needs clash at work. Conflicting assumptions fuel conflict when team members misinterpret one another's intentions. And conflict tolerances arise when staff members bring different levels of comfort with conflict to the workplace.

When and Why Conflict is a Force for Good

During her studies in Conflict Resolution at George Mason University, Center intern Emily Wilson has learned that conflict is not always a bad thing. According to Emily, "Constructive conflict can improve the quality of decisions made under pressure and conflict also helps ensure that a variety of perspectives are considered when an important choice must be made." Lytle agrees, writing that, "...conflict is actually normal and healthy. In fact, many believe that it's a vital ingredient to organizational success."

When is conflict a good thing? Conflict can be a powerful force for good when your employees recognize that firm, but polite disagreement is essential to exploring the toughest challenges and most exciting opportunities facing the organization. Conflict is also a tool for progress when disagreements are addressed in person, and without delay. Running down a co-worker or denigrating their ideas outside of their presence is not acceptable. Sending inflammatory emails to prove you're "right" and a colleague is "wrong," is simply and always wrong. Explaining your different perspective or views to a colleague during a meeting where both of you are present is healthy and productive.

Practical Conflict-Resolutions Tips and Strategies

Pay close attention to non-verbal clues When you notice negative, nonverbal clues suggesting disagreement or frustration--such as crossed-arms, sitting back away from the group, or lack of eye contact--resolve to determine the meaning behind the negativity. Effective board and committee chairs do this by pausing to ask the person with negative energy for their perspectives on the topic at hand. For example, "Bob, you've had a lot of experience in the area we're talking about. What solutions haven't we considered?"
Engage in collaborative and reflective listeningWhen you're having a hard time understanding where on earth (or elsewhere!) a colleague is coming from, try "wearing" your co-worker's perspectives, by repeating what you believe to be their position. For example, "I understand that you want us to discontinue offering that program because it generates more negative feedback than anything else we're doing. Does that explain your position?"

Few leaders look forward to conflict in the workplace. Yet wishing that your team will "get along" or that conflict will dissipate without intervention, are equally unproductive. A healthier perspective is to recognize that conflict and creativity go hand in glove. By encouraging the members of your team to bring conflicts to the table, and to practice disagreeing without being disagreeable, you will begin to make conflict a source for mission-advancing good.

Melanie Herman is executive director of the Nonprofit Risk Management Center. Emily Wilson is supporting the Center's mission this summer by working as an Intern. In August, she returns to her final year of undergraduate studies in Conflict Resolution at George Mason University.

Viktoria Marinova: man held in Germany over death of Bulgarian journalist

Bulgaria’s prosecutor general, Sotir Tsatsarov, confirmed the arrest of Severin Krasimirov, a Bulgarian citizen, but gave no further details.
Interior Minister Mladen Marinov said investigators had found DNA evidence on the clothes and body of Viktoria Marinova, who was raped and killed on Saturday in the northern town of Ruse.
“There is physical evidence to link to the murder,” Marinov said Wednesday. He said Krasimirov, a resident of Ruse, had a criminal record for scrap metal theft.
The minister said investigators had spoken to Marinova’s family and friends and “there is no apparent link to her work.”
Marinova, 30, hosted a show last month featuring two investigative journalists who were detained for their work on suspected fraud involving EU funds.


Changeling is another counter-example to my rule that true stories make bad movies. (spoilers ahead)  It’s a long, sad tale: A child gets abducted, the police say they’ve found him, the mother says “That’s not my son!,” the police say she’s wrong, she says she’s right, they throw her in a psychiatric hospital… and it gets worse.

It’s a gripping drama and a masterful period piece.  Bravo.  But what does it mean?  The standard feminist interpretation of this movie says, “The police and the psychiatric establishment would never have treated a man in this way.”  This got me thinking: What exactly was and is the gender ratio in psychiatric hospitals?  It was very hard to track down any numbers on google; the best I came up with was this post on Volokh which states that in 1965, inmates in mental hospitals were 55% male.  Hopefully there are better numbers somewhere, but at least there’s no strong reason to see gender bias here.

Indeed, while we’re on the subject of gender bias, the movie shows us only the male serial killer, and his subsequent execution.  But if you read the history of the case, it turns out that the serial killer’s mother was his accomplice.  What ever happened to her?

Superior Court Judge Morton sentenced her to life imprisonment on
December 31, 1928. He stated that she was spared hanging since she was
a woman. She was sentenced to life imprisonment… [and] was paroled after serving less than 12 years of her sentence.

Overall, this film – or at least the events on which it is based –  has little to do with feminism.  It’s much more of a Szaszian anecdote:  The woman who insists that the police are wrong gets involuntary commitment; the woman who helped murder her son gets leniency.

Insomnia Treatment: Holistic Cures to Lack of a Good Night’s Sleep

January 9, 2015

insomnia treatments holistic massage facial

Sleepless nights can take a toll on your body like no other. Lethargy, fatigue, lack of energy are a few after effects that can hit night owls. Not only that, but lack of sleep can drastically affect your mind with lack of proper judgement, inability to focus and so on. From depression and weight gain to inactivity in social life and constantly crankiness, there’s a plethora of side effects that come bundled up with insomnia. If you are a busy, stressed out or overworked person by nature, due to domestic responsibilities or work pressure, lack of sleep can wreak havoc in your life. It may look like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to sleepless nights but fortunately there are few holistic ways for Insomnia treatment discovered by facial therapists and massage therapists.

Tell your massage therapist about your lack of sleep and they will be able to customise a massage to treat the areas associated with the problem. According to a research study carried out in USA, massage is known to reduce anxiety, stress levels and pain in the human mind and body which has a direct correlation to reducing insomnia dramatically. Lack of sleep can also release certain chemicals in the body which aren’t generally great for health. Massage therapy is also known to battle that. Besides a good old Massage releases body’s natural anti-pain chemical ‘serotonin’ which is great at helping you sleep like a baby at night.

Aromatherapy massage using essential oils and ingredients like lavender are not just an old wives tales when it comes to their holistic benefits. Known to aid Insomnia treatment, aromatherapy massage works with the blood stream at infusing it with bout of relaxation and serenity which can help improve your pattern of sleep from that day onwards. Even if by a few hours, or until a few weeks. Hence it’s important to recognise how well massage therapy works as an Insomnia treatment for you personally and to indulge in it regularly to constantly improve your sleep cycle. To begin with, book your massages as close as possible to your bed time, say 6pm giving you a smaller window to fall asleep within.

A good old facial massage using hand movements such as pressing, kneading, striking and pinching (more pleasant than it sounds) can do more for your well-being than just offering skincare benefits. It can promote the free flow of energy by stimulating these acupoints. The movements send signals to the body to restore internal balance which can aid as an Insomnia treatment. Stimulating pressure points on the skull area with movements that are slow, gentle yet firm, the temple, forehead and the crown of the head are massaged in many facial treatments which can help with lack of sleep as well as facial detox, increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the surface of the skin and scalp.

Lastly, besides trying out the holistic benefits of massage therapy as an Insomnia treatment, doing a few little things such as switching of technology 2 hours before bedtime, staying away from caffeine 6 hours before you’re off to bed and snacking at least 4 hours prior to snoozing to avoid heartburn and indigestion from disrupting sleep can collectively encourage you to nod off naturally.

Content Writing Service-Improve Your Site Content Professional Content Writing Services

Any person because of a business very well understands the importance of the Internet and have an online presence for business success. At present, no matter what type of information that an individual is seeking, he / she uses search engines to find relevant and useful information about it. Here comes the importance of having a web site well designed and optimized with relevant content and fresh. The growing demand and importance of well-crafted content is also increasing demand for web content creative writer.....

While it is important for a company have a website attractive and professional looking to start, content is considered the king. To reach the maximum number of potential customers worldwide, is essential for companies to have a potential site fresh and relevant information on it. Well written and unique content websites also helps to achieve better positioning in major search engines and reach more target audience. In order to obtain creative content and effective mechanisms for the website, most companies have begun to hire the services of content writing.....

Web content authors consider the following four qualities to be the four important pillars of the writing of content:

Consistency}To give the website a professional look, the first and most important thing to be present in the web page content is consistency. Many times there are great discrepancies in the contents of the website, which makes the amateur looking website. For example, there are often differences in the spelling of the name of the company itself. In order to maintain the interest of visitors of the website and make return to the site in the near future, the content must be consistent. To ensure consistency of content, a web content writer carefully uses abbreviations, sources, figures, tone, style and voice of the content to be developed.

Clarity} No matter what the topic of the website and what is the reason for content development, which should be crisp and clear. It should effectively communicate with your target audience.

Correct use of language: The language and writing style to be used varies depending on the target audience and the media. Therefore, be web content writers or travel writers, the first thing to understand the target audience and then use appropriate language and style of writing.

Fresh and relevant content: Content should be fresh and provide unique information to readers. At the same time, the issue should not deviate from the main theme of the web.

Snobbish photons forced to pair up and get heavy

Photons passing through a dense gas typically do little more than scatter, as in this photo of sunlight through fog. If the gas is excited into a Rydberg state, however, it can make the photons behave like mutually attractive massive particles.

Researchers fabricated just such a medium and produced photons that simultaneously act as though they are massive and mutually attractive. The key to this weird behavior involved passing light through a cold diffuse gas with strong inter-atomic interactions, properties that are usually exclusive but which can be induced in some circumstances. The atoms in the gas acted as an intermediary, causing photons to form bound pairs. Such behavior could have interesting applications for optical switches and quantum logic networks based on photons.

Ordinary matter primarily interacts via the electromagnetic force: electrons repel each other and are attracted to protons, thanks to their electrical charges. Photons, on the other hand, are both electrically neutral and massless in free space. The lack of charge means they don't "see" each other electromagnetically, and their lack of mass means they move at the maximum possible speed, that of light. Among other things, the masslessness reduces the possible time for photon pairs to interact with each other.

Prior experiments showed that photons can behave as though they have mass, at least when light passes through a medium with unusual properties. The effective mass of a photon in this type of system is an altered relationship between its energy and momentum, behavior that's separate from the question of whether photons might have a tiny intrinsic mass. These conditions are related to experiments where electrons can behave as massless particles.

The new experiment, conducted by Ofer Firstenberg and colleagues, involved a low-density gas of rubidium atoms at very low temperatures. These atoms were then excited with a laser so that their outermost electrons jump into orbits where they are only loosely bound to the nuclei, a state known as a Rydberg atom. A Rydberg rubidium atom is physically large, and the loosely attached electrons change something that would ordinarily be a very diffuse gas into a system with atoms that repel each other strongly.

The interactions between the Rydberg atoms produce a bizarre environment. The researchers saturated the atoms with laser light, holding them in their Rydberg states, which prevented them from absorbing any more photons (something known as the Rydberg blockade). As a result, additional polarized photons entering the medium were slowed by interacting with it. That gave them a significant effective mass and—thanks to the Rydberg blockade—created a channel where the photons' paths were bent.

The net effect: two photons behaved as though they were massive particles and found themselves attracted to each other. Ultimately they became correlated, behaving like a single coupled system.

An appropriate analogy: in many superconductors, vibrations of atoms in the material act to make electrons (which ordinarily repel thanks to having the same electric charge) attractive to each other, forming Cooper pairs. While the photons are not bound quite like an atom or molecule, they still behave like a single quantum system, a property that the researchers confirmed as the pairs left the Rydberg gas.

Comparison between these results and the behavior of unpaired, non-interacting photons demonstrated that these particles were indeed coupled. The experimenters tuned the properties of the pairs, demonstrating entanglement of polarization and other interesting characteristics.

All of this opens up the possibility of bizarre quantum systems: "matter" comprised of interacting massive photons, optical switches based on paired light, quantum logic using the entangled polarization states, or even a single-photon "transistor." While these systems—as with most involving weird quantum phenomena—require very cold temperatures, the implications for quantum logic, networks, and computing are fascinating.

The way you see colour depends on what language you speak

  20 April 2018    Read: 1241
The way you see colour depends on what language you speak

Take for instance people with synaesthesia, who are able to experience the perception of colour with letters and numbers. Synaesthesia is often described as a joining of the senses – where a person can see sounds or hear colours. But the colours they hear also differ from case to case.

Another example is the classic Alderson’s checker-shadow illusion. Here, although two marked squares are exactly the same colour, our brains don’t perceive them this way.

The culture of colour
Since the day we were born we have learnt to categorise objects, colours, emotions, and pretty much everything meaningful using language. And although our eyes can perceive thousands of colours, the way we communicate about colour – and the way we use colour in our everyday lives – means we have to carve this huge variety up into identifiable, meaningful categories.

Different languages and cultural groups also carve up the colour spectrum differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours.

The Warlpiri people living in Australia’s Northern Territory don’t even have a term for the word “colour”. For these and other such cultural groups, what we would call “colour” is described by a rich vocabulary referring to texture, physical sensation and functional purpose.

Five key colours

Remarkably, most of the world’s languages have five basic colour terms. Cultures as diverse as the Himba in the Namibian plains and the Berinmo in the lush rainforests of Papua New Guinea employ such five term systems. As well as dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that denotes both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for “green” and “blue” but use one term to describe both colours, a sort of “grue”.

People see colours differently according to the way their language categorises them. Shutterstock

Historically, Welsh had a “grue” term, namely glas, as did Japanese and Chinese. Nowadays, in all these languages, the original grue term has been restricted to blue, and a separate green term is used. This is either developed from within the language – as is the case for Japanese – or through lexical borrowing, as is the case for Welsh.

Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages also have two separate terms for blue – one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.

Language and colour

But this isn’t just something that happens with colour, in fact different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life. And in our lab at Lancaster University we are investigating how the use of and exposure to different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently – including the way we see and process colours.

Ride the dragon of your heart

I understand better my passion for meteorology

my frustration at storms that take time to unravel in warm and dry climates

it starts raining and then it stops for ten hours in a row

too violent winds blow carrying the clouds away

without a single drop of water falling from the skies

What happens above our heads is nothing but a metaphor

an image of what happens within our heads

of this inner struggle of masses of cold and warm air

this tug of war between cravings and volition

Our spirit is like a clear sky

it does not take sides

it just lets things happen

watching as one side wins a battle

thinking it has already won the war

This inner struggle is almost mathematical

you are trapped within a series of numbers that behaves in a certain fashion

you need to understand how this series work, how this program functions

to break out the loop

and it is so complex a program it takes live after live and year after year

to be entirely mastered

Our spirit, is programmed to behave in a certain way

result of the sum of our ego, the body we dwell in

and all the experiences and wounds we have accumulated over past lives

We are programmed to remain trapped in vicious cycle of ups and lows

Until we understand truly the role and the weight of each variable

until we learn to see our shadows not as our enemies

but as just another variable to twist around to make the program react

And then, we become like a musician trying to play the perfect melody

the melody that will make everything fit into place

the melody that will fall down walls

the melody that will deprogram the loop we are trapped in

a melody so potent and so truthful and so beautiful it knows no constraint

a storm within our heart, our stomach, our limbs

a storm from within that gathers momentum

a storm that grows and grows until it becomes a dragon

Oh dear play some beautiful music

paint some beautiful canvases

write some beautiful poems

and add their power together

to awaken this dragon sleeping in your heart

for the dragon is the only salvation

his fiery breath will melt metal and unbolt stones

his stomping legs will crush cars and highways and electrical wires

and finally the garden that has been stifled by concrete and asphalt

for years and years now will be watered by the rain

and it will start sprouting again between the cracks the dragon will provoke

where there were boring buildings and roads

forests and grove and orchards will see the light

and with their sweetness and their love

they will mend the wounded soil

and bees and butterflies and birds will return

and fill the silence with their chants

in what had become a desert

Oh dear, reawaken this dragon in your heart

caress it gently and don’t be too shy

he won’t harm you, no he won’t

and ride him across the skies of your spirit

and burn and destroy and unbolt

all what has been weighing on you

let your anger savagely explode

and in this heavenly clash

admire the rain of rebirth that falls


Colouring individual tick mark labels differently

, a startup that uses intelligent inputs from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and third party integrations to disrupt unsexy labor based industries like cleaning, security and maintenance, has closed $1.25m in seed funding.

Hailing from Australia,’s funding was led by Tamarisc, an early stage venture capital firm that invests in real estate technology companies.

Companies using equip their workers with a mobile app that leverages tech like Bluetooth beacons to deliver contextual information based on their exact position. This includes task lists, instructions, safety content and alerts for service workers at facilities like shopping malls, airports, hospitals and stadiums.

The platform provides executives with real-time and historical data about their workforce that enables better decision making around labor management. The end result is more efficient service delivery, improved worker safety and reduced operational costs.

Patrick Carne, CEO, said, “We see a huge opportunity to disrupt labor based industries that are using extremely inefficient, manual and paper based processes.

“From a usability perspective, existing enterprise software platforms have set the bar low. We intend to not only become the system of record for workers in these industries, but to create experiences that delight workers.” differentiates from competition by combining a mobile experience with sensor based inputs to understand a worker’s current context and then deliver a highly relevant workflow that helps them be more effective at their job.

David Bates from Tamarisc who is joining the board on behalf of the investors, added, “We’ve looked at a plethora of location-based technologies that all seemed to be a solution in search of a problem. Lighthouse is different in that it was built from the ground up to address key industry pain points and solve real problems.

“This became increasingly apparent the more we spoke with current and potential customers, some from our own portfolio, who raved about how the platform significantly reduces costs and liability while clearly increasing operational efficiencies. We are thrilled to join Lighthouse and look forward to helping it grow and continue delivering value to its customers” is already driving operational improvements at shopping malls, airports, train stations and corporate campuses throughout Australia and the United States.

The current round of funding will be used to accelerate product development and growth in the US market. It will also facilitate exploration of horizontal markets such as real estate and health care.

Virgo New Moon Mood

It’s that time of month, when we get a cosmic reset and the ability to discern what needs our attention and what does not. Yesterday’s New Moon in Virgo is asking us to wade in the shadows, to focus on the darkness. You may be feeling emotional, low energy, annoyed, reclusive, or you may be feeling the potent energy of Virgo asking you to step up into this new era. Virgo is the healer, the wise one, the sensualist, connected to the earth and her healing. Virgo energy is back to school energy; it’s progressive, transformative, analytical and when evolved its the difference between judgment and discernment.

Yesterday’s New Moon may be over, but her affects still linger. The Virgo New Moon is asking us to level up. To be compassionate to ourselves while also reminding us that we can grow and meet ourselves where we want to be. What does your dream life look like? What does the healthiest, most grounded, most sensual version of yourself look like? How can you step up to make that a reality?

Take some time today to meditate, journal, breathe, reflect, orgasm, dance: whatever’s going to get you back in your body. Make a list of your spiritual, physical, professional, mental and emotional needs and set goals for yourself for each. Reflect on this as the moon waxes. What structures can you create to help support your vision? This energy is here to help you grow and bloom and level the fuck up.

Felton v. Finley

Idaho Supreme Court
209 P. 2d 899 (1949)

Seigle Coleman died testate in 1943. Coleman’s will gave six of Coleman’s nieces and nephews $500 each, leaving the rest, aside from a $5,000 bequest to Wilbur Coleman, to charitable organizations. Coleman’s nephews, Seigle Finley and W.E. Finley, employed J.H. Felton (plaintiff) to contest the will on a 50 percent contingency basis. Felton initially told Seigle and W.E. that he would only accept the employment if Coleman’s other nephew, Orval Finley (defendant), as well as Coleman’s nieces (defendants), likewise employed Felton and participated in the contest. Orval and the nieces refused to join the contest. The contest was successful. The probate court, as well as the district court on appeal, found that the will was properly executed but that the clauses attempting to devise the property to charitable institutions were null and void. Consequently, the balance of the property was distributed to Coleman’s heirs, who were his nieces and nephews. Orval and the nieces accepted the distribution but refused to pay Felton his contingent share. Felton sued Orval and the nieces on an implied-contract theory. The trial court awarded judgment in Felton’s favor. Orval and the nieces appealed.

Trump, Putin, Modi, Erdogan, Orban, Le Pen, Wilders — these are the names of but a few of the leaders representing the rise of right-wing populist movements across the world today.

Right-wing populist movements share important commonalities including an anti-elite/establishment orientation, nationalism combined with racism and xenophobia, opposition to free trade and globalisation, and an emphasis on reasserting traditional gender and family roles.

In the American context, right-wing populism began with the emergence of the Tea Party Movement within the Republican Party.

This distinguished itself from traditional Republican politics by its appeal to white working-class Americans, its opposition to immigration, free trade and globalisation, and its desire to control women’s bodies and reproductive freedom by banning birth control and abortion.

The Tea Party Movement capitalised on a growing feeling of economic and social exclusion by white Americans, who increasingly fear that their dominant status within American society is being threatened by the rise of women, immigrants and minorities.

It also built on the economic insecurity felt by an important segment of the American working class as a result of free trade and globalisation and the consequent de-industrialisation of the American economy.

The movement built on the angst of American males who feel that the rise of women and racial and LGBT minorities to positions of power is threatening the traditional structure and power hierarchies of American society.

In Europe, right-wing populism has had a stronger nationalist emphasis and has been closely tied to the rise of Islamophobia and the rejection of immigrants, especially from the Muslim world.

It also has a strong anti-EU component. Right-wing populism in Western and Eastern Europe builds on the social and economic grievances of the European working class and attributes these to globalisation, European integration and immigration.

It prescribes reducing the powers of the EU, greater economic protectionism, and restrictions on immigration as a solution to Europe’s problems.

The recent success of the Brexit referendum in the UK has been attributed to the rise of nationalist and anti-EU sentiment in the UK. Similarly, the rise of leaders of right-wing populist movements to power in Poland and Hungary, in addition to the growing shares of the electoral vote won by parties such as the Front National in France and the Alternative for Germany Party in Germany, has also been a measure of the rising strength of these movements across Europe.

Finally, the growing strength and popularity of leaders such Russian President Vladimir Putin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi represents a growing backlash against globalisation, Westernisation and secularism in the non-Western world.

These leaders adopt a nationalist and xenophobic outlook that seeks to reassert the past glories of their nations in opposition to western hegemony and globalisation. They propose a vision which emphasises nationalism, religion and social conservatism in the face of globalisation, individualisation and social diversification.

In short, the right-wing populist movements across the world represent a yearning to return to an imagined past in which communities were homogenous, families were patriarchal and heterosexual, employment was secure and economies local, and religion and nationalism were unchallenged.

This is an ideal posited in opposition to the complex reality of globalisation and of post-modern and post-industrial societies that encourage the free movement of goods, people and ideas and where traditional conceptions of nation, family, religion are being questioned and redefined.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990 and the end of the Cold War the US political scientist Francis Fukayama famously declared the “end of history” and the final triumph of the Western liberal economic model.

However, the recent upsurge in right-wing populist movements and leaders across the world represents a negation of the proposed triumph of the Western model and the rise of an alternative vision for the future characterised by rising nationalism, economic protectionism, and social and political conservatism.

In fact, the rise of right-wing populist movements across the world seems to be validating the vision of fellow US political scientist Samuel Huntington of a post-Cold War future defined primarily by a “clash of civilisations”.

Today we are seeing the emergence of a new multi-polar world order in which each nation and civilisation is reasserting its autonomy vis-à-vis the others, externally through growing nationalism and economic protectionism and internally through growing authoritarianism, social homogenisation and conservatism.

Especially troubling in this new world order is the status of racial and ethnic minorities, who are often perceived as a kind of fifth column to be feared and contained rather than as citizens to be integrated.

The rise of right-wing populism is thus likely to have a negative effect on the progress of democratic governance and individual and minority rights across the world.

As more countries move in a more nationalist, conservative and authoritarian direction, individual and citizenship rights, especially those earned by women and minorities, will likely be eroded in the name of nationalist and religious ideals.

Moreover, more international conflicts are likely to result from the spread of nationalist and xenophobic movements across the globe, with refugees, immigrants and minorities suffering the most.

However, such multi-polarity might also have a limiting effect on the scope of such conflicts, with all-out wars being replaced by proxy wars such as the ones now being fought out in Syria and Yemen.

He was very anxious to get contemporary works on his syllabus. So we’d go down to the bookstore and he’d buy a bunch of recently published books in our field and he would find a way to incorporate these in the syllabus, and making some kind of a coherent syllabus that had a beginning, a middle and an end. He often put in books that were not necessarily written by political scientists, books that were written by sociologists, historians, dealing with important topics of the day that clearly had political implications to them. Bob would often say that he was a teacher, an educator, first and a political scientist second.

In PoliSci 101 you would deal with the presidency, the congress, the judiciary and the American political system with some emphasis on the historical roots. We usually read The Federalist Papers. It was that kind of a thing. But you could either take a more textbook approach or you use one of these books as sort of an exemplar. I remember one of the books we used was Anthony Lewis’s Gideon’s Trumpet dealing with the courts in the United States. By that time the department had largely dropped using textbooks. Except for constitutional law, textbooks were hardly used in any of our courses.

Stegosaurus-header-icon "Ooh, ah," that's how it always starts. But then later there's running and screaming."

The Lockwood Manor is a mansion that was owned by Benjamin Lockwood, located in Northern California. Various species of extinct creatures (excluding the escaped and surviving Mosasaurus) were to be auctioned by Gunnar Eversol to the highest bidder in the Lockwood Manor Auction. This included a prototype Indoraptor. However, thanks to Owen Grady, an escaped Stygimoloch attacked the auction as well as many of the buyers. This was followed up by Ken Wheatley opening the cage of the Indoraptor in order to get a tooth from it. However the creature killed him and escaped. It then killed Eversol and three remaining buyers, before rampaging around the mansion.

After the Indoraptor was killed by Owen, Claire Dearing and the Velociraptor Blue, the captive dinosaurs being hit by gas fumes and Lockwood's granddaughter, Maisie released them since she is a clone of Lockwood's daughter. Mills was then killed by the T. rex and the Carnotaurus. The bone sample of the Indominus rex was destroyed when the T. rex stomped on it, rendering it useless and effective ending all creation of future hybrid dinosaurs. Owen, Claire, Maisie, Webb and Zia left the manor as Blue went out in the wilderness.

After the events of the film, it is not known what happened to Lockwood Manor.

Comparative Essay

This will enable you to start writing the comparative essay that you would like to achieve. The first difference between these two political ideologies is the aspect of means of production.

The focus should be mainly on the points that are related and those that are of less significance should be cancelled. Hence, further evaluation is necessary. Block Method This is quite the easiest method though very dangerous. A comparative essay example can go a long way in clearing up the concepts of this type of essay.

Our company offers the best essay writing service on the web and is always ready to help with your task! This is to say that the first and second paragraph explains the same aspect of comparison but deals with the first and second subject respectively. Your ability to present as many valid points as possible can make a lot of clarifications about the unanswered questions that you can enlighten your readers with.

The conclusion should be a product of the identified similarities and differences and NOT of personal preferences. Despite the fact that these two ideologies have staunch differences, they also have some similarities. Chronologically arrange your list based on your basis of comparison.

How to Write a Comparative Essay

This is a general question and you have to figure out the various political ideologies then identify any two writing a comparative essay example you can compare. Therefore, a comparative essay is an essay that usually needs the author to compare two subjects that have some relation in terms of similarities and differences.

Like, compared to, similar to, similarly, by analogy, likewise, in the same way, as well, both, too For contrast: Both political systems are similar because they have a President or Head of State.

This keeps repeating throughout the essay. The body of the essay has a section about one aspect, followed by a paragraph about the other.

Make sure that you will follow a metric when examining the items that you will place in your actual comparative essay.

Every piece of writing, whether it is a journal entry or a formal essay, must be typed and stapled. Last but not least, all homework must display a sophisticated level of thinking and writing. In a communist society, the means of production are solely under the custody of the society. In conclusion, it is clear that these two political ideologies have similarities such as they both work well in a democratic government and are all subject to government intervention.

Be specific and narrow your topic to something like desert shrubs found in arid areas of North America and Australia. So rather than viewing their instructors as a monolithic "enemy" intent on making them suffer, students should recognize how they benefit from the variety of ways their teachers inspire them.

Comparative Essay Topics The list of topics that can fall under this docket is endless. Once the points of your comparison are already specified, list down whether they are under the similarities or differences of the two subjects. You may start off by presenting the similarities between the two, and then show the distinction between the two.

On the other hand, the resources of means of production are owned by individuals in the capitalist society.

For example, you may compare types of clothing, types of bugs or types of political systems. Warning Beware of large subjects for comparison.

How to Write an A+ Comparison Essay on any Topic

The framework of your essay should be based on an actual evaluation that can point out how you were able to perceive the similarities or differences of the subject.

Usually the question provides the basis of comparison but there are cases where the author needs to develop the same. The essay format of a comparative essay is just like that of any other essay, and it should have an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

The first thing that you need to do is to be aware of the question that you need to answer. The list should be thoroughly evaluated so that only the main points of comparison are considered for the essay.

A comparative essay is a type of argumentative essay that you will become familiar with during your college career and beyond, if you choose to continue your formal education. Comparative Essay Outline Comparative essay outline determines the details to be presented and how they are presented.

It is utterly crucial for you to resolve the issue in such a way that the readers can easily understand the essay.

electrical activity. If the amount of synaptic transmis-
sion is too low during development, then postsynap-
tic neurons can cease protein synthesis, become
atrophic, and may even die. Paradoxically, too much
excitatory activation has been shown to kill neurons by
loading their cytoplasm with calcium (Nicholls and
Wa rd, 2000; Duchen, 2000). In this section, we discuss
the relationship between innervation, synaptic activity,
and neuron survival, and ask what trophic signal is
being provided by afferent terminals.
Many of the original studies involved removing
centrally projecting axons to see whether the central
target developed properly in their absence. For
example, Larsell (1931) removed on eye in tree frog
larvae and found that its target, the contralateral optic
tectum, had many fewer cells than expected. However,
these studies were not able to discriminate between
effects on neurogenesis or migration versus effects on
neuron survival.
One of the best studied cases of afferent regulated
survival is the nucleus magnocellularis (NM) in the chick
central auditory system (Figure 7.31). Just before
taking up her studies of NGF (above), Rita Levi-Mon-
talcini had been studying the effect of cochlear nerve
fibers on the survival of NM neurons and other brain
stem nuclei. These studies have fascinated students of
biology because they were performed with very little
equipment in the countryside of Italy while World War
II raged around her. In spite of these privations, Levi-
Montalcini (1949) was able to show that the period of
normal cell death is elevated when the cochlea is
removed. Although there was little sign of degenera-
tion at E11, the age at which auditory nerve fibers first
activate NM neurons, there was a dramatic loss of cells
by E21. Subsequent studies showed that about 30% of
NM neurons are lost following cochlear ablation, and
the effect of denervation is much reduced in adult
animals (Parks, 1979; Born and Rubel, 1985). In fact,
neuron survival can change from being dependent
upon afferent innervation to being completely inde-
pendent over the course of a few days (Figure 7.32).
When the cochlea is removed in P7 gerbils, about 50%
of the postsynaptic cochlear nucleus neurons are lost.
However, when the cochlea is removed just two days
later, at P9, there is no neuronal cell loss (Tierney et al.,
Survival in other peripheral and central neurons
also depends, in part, on afferent connections during
development (Linden, 1994). However, surgical
removal of the afferent population does not really tell
us much about the trophic signal. Does the synapse
provide a survival factor such as NGF? Does the neu-
rotransmitter itself enhance survival? To address this
question, intact afferent pathways were treated with

FIGURE 7.31 Afferent innervation regulates neuron survival in
a chick central auditory nucleus. A. Auditory neurons from the
cochlea innervate the nucleus magnocellularis (NM) in the chick
auditory brain stem. The removal of a cochlea (right) completely
denervates NM neurons on the ipsilateral side. B. When a cochlea is
removed at embryonic day 2 (E2), about 30% of NM neurons are lost
during the ensuing two weeks, although cell death does not begin
until E10. When the cochlea is removed at posthatch day 14, about
25% of neurons die within two days. In adults, cochlear ablation
results in the loss of only about 5% of NM neurons. (Adapted from

agents that block neuronal activity (Maderdrut et al.,
1988; Born and Rubel, 1988). In the chick ciliary gan-
glion, cell death is increased when transmission is
blocked, although neurogenesis and migration
proceed normally. Similarly, action potential blockade
in the cochlea for 48 hours is sufficient to increase
normal cell death in the chick NM. Therefore, synaptic
activity seems to play a critical role in postsynaptic
neuron survival.
What is it about synaptic activity that promotes
neuron survival? One possibility is that synaptic trans-
mission provides a positive survival signal. Alterna-
tively, synaptic transmission may evoke action
potentials, and the associated voltage-gated currents
may affect survival. To distinguish between these two
possibilities, brain slices containing the chick NM and
its auditory nerve afferents were placed in vitro and
provided with two different stimulation protocols
(Figure 7.33). Although the experimental period was
too brief to observe dying neurons, denervation of NM

I attended my second track day this past Sunday at the Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos, driving with the Longhorn Racing Academy.  I just happened to run across the event a week ago and they still had spaces available in their novice run group, so I signed up.  Unlike my previous track day with theBMWCCA at MSR Cresson, this was only a one day event.  I took the M Coupe again, but this time I had a much better prepared ride with new brakes and improved alignment.

This was a much smaller event than the CCA DE, with only two run groups; novice and intermediate.  Towards the end of the day they combined both groups to allow everyone to make several more runs.  I was able to squeeze in about 6 sessions in the M Coupe before I got a fuel light during the last run.  Unfortunately there’s no fuel available on site, or even close by for that matter.

The track itself was entertaining, but very bumpy.  The land had settled over time, resulting lots of lumps in the surface.  They had made a few patches in the asphalt, but my helmet was consistently bouncing off the ceiling.  Like the 1.7 course at MSR, the straights are pretty short at Harris Hill (akaH2R.)  Unlike the MSR 1.7, there’s a more significant elevation change, with a descending right followed by an immediate left hand turn (when running clockwise.)

There was a bit of mix of cars there, from turbo Miatas to a 911 GT3-RS (which I was lucky enough to catch a ride in.)  One other M Coupe showed up briefly, but the owner took off before I got a chance to talk to him.

I was also a little more prepared this time, aside from the improvements to the car.  I packed a foot locker with paper towels, window cleaner, extra oil, brake fluid, coolant, air pressure gauge, and a torque wrench.

I tried to setup my phone to record some video, but the mount vibrated too much on the bumpy road, making it unwatchable.  Fortunately a few other cars that day had GoPros rolling.  The video below does a good job capturing the action.  I send him around about midway through the video, I’m still more comfortable following than being followed.

Advances in fight against TB.

These deaths could be prevented with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator , a small and inexpensive device related to a pacemaker, but the problems is in identifying people at risk from the problem. The Doctoral Inaugural Lectures are hosted by the Graduate Dean Professor Sarah Hainsworth. The research that they do is an important contribution to furthering our knowledge and understanding across the diverse areas of analysis at the University of Leicester. These two lectures will become addressing key issues in the region of health in the fight against TB and in avoiding sudden cardiac loss of life and I look forward to hearing about the student's contributions to advances in these areas.30pm to 6.45pm, in the Katherine and Frank May Lecture Theatre, Henry Wellcome Building..The risk of a cardiovascular-related adverse event remained significantly greater among males in the testosterone group than among men in the placebo group after adjustment for generation, body-mass index, smoking status, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol rate, and presence or lack of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension . In time-to-event analyses, the relative risk of a cardiovascular-related event remained constant throughout the 24-week intervention period . There were few adverse events during the 3-month observation phase after the final end of the intervention period. There was no proof a significant relationship between potential risk factors and cardiovascular-related events in time-to-event analyses .


Duhaime's Law Dictionary

Actuary Definition:

Professionals uniquely skilled in the application of mathematics to risk management, contingent events and opportunity.

Professional business people who are skilled in the application of mathematics to risk management and contingent events.

In Champagne v Unity Industrial Life Insurance Company, Justice Westerfield of the Court of Appeal of Louisiana sitting at New Orleans adopted these words to define an actuary:

"One whose profession it is to calculate insurance risks and premiums; a person skilled in the theories and mathematical problems involved in making these calculations."

According to the Institute of Actuaries of India:

"Actuaries are experts in assessing the financial impact of tomorrow's uncertain events. They enable financial decisions to be made with more confidence by analyzing the past, modelling the future, assessing the risks involved, and communicating what the results mean in financial terms."

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries of the United Kingdom (established in 1848), describes an actuary as follows:

"Actuaries apply financial and statistical theories to solve real business problems. In effect, they use their skills in maths and statistics to create theoretical models of the world around them. A typical business problem might involve analysing future financial events, especially when the amount or timing of a payment is uncertain....

"Actuaries' skills are in great demand throughout the financial sector, particularly in investment, insurance and pensions....

"An important advance came in 1662 from a surprising source, a London draper called John Graunt. By analysing the London Bills of Mortality, he showed that there were regularities in the patterns of life and death in a group of people, despite uncertainty about the future lifetime of only one person. His famous life table showed how many of every 100 babies survived until ages 6, 16, 26, 36, 46 and so on.

"It now became possible for the first time to envisage setting up an insurance scheme providing life assurance or pensions for a group of people, where it could be worked out how much money each person in the group should contribute to a common fund assumed to earn a fixed rate of interest. The first person to demonstrate publicly how this could be done was Edmond Halley, the famous mathematician and astronomer, after whom the comet is named. Halley analysed data relating to births and deaths in the German City of Breslau to construct his own life table in 1693 (for individual ages, not just age groups), which was found to give a reasonably accurate picture of survival and became well known throughout Europe."

actuaryIn 2012, the American Society of Actuariues defined their profession as follows:

"An actuary is a business professional who analyzes the financial consequences of risk. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics and financial theory to study uncertain future events, especially those of concern to insurance and pension programs. They evaluate the likelihood of those events, design creative ways to reduce the likelihood and decrease the impact of adverse events that actually do occur.... The majority of actuaries work within the insurance industry."

"The profession's heritage in North America, then of about 80 years duration, had been built upon European foundations dating back to the establishment of probability theory in the mid–seventeenth century, to Edmond Halley's 1693 mortality table, to James Dodson's pioneer work on the level premium system that led to formation of the Society for Equitable Assurances on Lives and Survivorship in London in 1762, and to Richard Price's textbook on life contingencies first published in 1771.

"The first company actuary to practice in North America was Jacob Shoemaker of Philadelphia, a key organizer in 1809 of the Pennsylvania Company for Insurances on Lives and Granting Annuities who chose to be that company's actuary rather than its president."

The customer: Whom the crown fits

All hail the king.
Every right thinking organisation in the 21st century know better to treat its customer well. Never has there being a time when the customer’s claim to the throne has become a mainstay. Experts in the field of customer experience have never been busy. There are hundreds of literature on the subject of building bridges to the customers’ heart. Today, customer’s have become ‘prosumers‘ (a term that exalts the role of consumers beyond the traditional to now mean so much more such as being active to help personally improve or design the goods and services of the marketplace, transforming it). Looking back to the early days of consumerism and beyond into the future of enterprise, one can say without any shadow of doubt that the customer is and will be king. 80% of new products fail to succeed. In this piece, through the lens of a classic case study and business model principles, we will consider how businesses in this post modern era can successfully bring products to market by crowing the king. The customer is at the center of it all.

Why 80% of new products fail.
The success rate of new products akin to that of new companies is very disheartening. One wonders why this is so. There are many reasons why companies and products fail. Such reasons may range from poor product design, failure to properly define customer segment, poor relationship management, channel failures, poor pricing and poor positioning. Other factors that may affect the outcome of a product includes inadequate/lack of resources cum partnerships along the critical value chain as well as failure of execution. The threat of substitutes and other external factors rank as very high factors too. However, in very broad terms, product or enterprise failure often manifests as either a DROP or GO error. The sum total of decisions and choices along the journey adds up to whether or not a product or company will fail or succeed. The objective of this piece is to help provide insights on how to reduce the odds against product and enterprise success.

This ‘Value Proposition’ thing.
All of the named factors jointly and severally determine whether or not a product or a company fails. There isn’t a crystal ball through which one could determine this outcome. I am not aware of such but, I know a couple of tools and methodologies by which one could properly dimension or at least reduce the odds against success. One of such is the ‘Business Model Canvas’ (BMC) which I have written about in the past. There are many others. What makes the BMC unique is the way it brings all the critical pieces together in a very brilliant way. As it turns out, this tool is not only useful for new companies but can be applied to several of processes in established company. At the center of the BMC is the concept of ‘Value Proposition’ which itself has a separate canvas just to show how important it is. In the latter part of the piece, we shall return to this concept and elucidate more on why it is the most important

Before I get too much ahead of myself, let me be very quick to say that the definition of the Value Proposition concept is not exactly the same as the highly basterdized version out there. While there is certainly nothing mystical about the BMC perspective, the objective of Value Proposition narrative within the context of customer service is albeit the most profound I have yet to come across. There are two central questions here. The first is (1) What pains are you solving? The second is (2) What gains are you adding? I wouldn’t be surprised if a typical marketing expert  discount these  two golden questions because of their seeming over simplicity. The wisdom nevertheless is that these questions addresses the very heart of every customer service adventure. It is the center of the Business Model Canvas and its is the heart of what every customer service or product launch strategy should address. By the way, the greatest factor or cause of product or enterprise failure can be simply articulated as: WRONG ASSUMPTIONS.

Wrong assumptions.
You’d be certain I wouldn’t just make that type of controversial statement without providing a firm argument to back it up. Experience has shown that for the majority 80% of products and/or company that fail, wrong assumptions rank as a top reason for failure. For the less established entities involving founders with a relatively nimble team, wrong assumptions play out as a fundamental flaw. What most of these inherently idealistic human species do is to venture out to solve a problem that they are quite passionate about. Even when they go out to conduct what is universally known as a ‘feasibility study’ or a ‘business case’, they often miss the mark. There is nothing wrong with having a passion. In most cases, the dichotomy between product development and marketing is a wide chasm which allows for untested hypothesis to creep into the business model. This is not very different from what is obtainable from more established entities. The gap between the design and marketing teams causes massive dissonance. The solution to this is to ‘get outside the building’. This term was coined by  Steve Blank (Author, Startup Owners’ Manual) who is a Silicon Valley veteran and serial entrepreneur. To get outside the building is to embrace the timeless wisdom that the customer is really the king.

Why and How Apple went into music.
This is an attempt at re-creating how and why Apple managed its entrance into the music industry. The iPod is by far the world’s most successful digital music player and it was launched by a company whose business until the launch of the iconic iPod was largely making computers. This background is very essential. Those who know the insider account of this story know that Apple was very careful in extending it brand into music. Every company should carefully consider such decision. When  Apple decided under the leadership of the late Steve Jobs to play in the music space, it met with very stiff competition. The entire music value chain of production, distribution and marketing segments of the music business was closely controlled by the ‘big guns’-  Sony, BMG, Columbia. The biggest metric of performance as at that time and even much of today was the platinum award that Artists got by selling enough albums. It was on this singular fundamental that the whole industry was organised. As long as they got a share of the royalties and made money selling albums, they were fine. So, the status quo remained but, not for long.

What is the most important customer need?
This was the question that Apple seemed to have asked when it decided play in the music space. The entire industry as dominated by the ‘big guns’ (Sony. Columbia, BMG e.t.c) favoured the sales of album. What they did not realize was a fundamental consumer insight that would drive the future of  how music would be consumed. It was the wake of the digital revolution and Apple happened to be one of the very few companies with the capability and scale to play in this arena. Apple or shall we say Steve Jobs knew very well that the consumers were looking for new experiences and sought for more control. Indeed, Apple believed that if given choices, consumers would prefer to buy single tracks other than entire albums. This key insight was the fundamental factor that would drive the future music market. Apple wasted no time in organising itself. It executed with such gusto. Apple created an online music jukebox (iTunes) and designed a digital music player for which it didn’t even have the proprietary technology for (Ipod).

It was later that Apple acknowledged Kane Kramer; the original inventor of the technology. To succeed, Apple overtime had to romance the music labels for content. This was a difficult thing to do but Steve Jobs perhaps by his reality distortion field, did get the critical mass necessary to succeed. Today, Apple is a Grammy award winning entity. It didn’t get there my mere luck but by the instrumentality of truly understanding what the customer needed. Its value offering was enough for iPod to become the most successful digital music player of all time. The decision to venture into music also fit perfectly into Apple’s digital hub strategy. It was on this success that future products (iPhone & iPad) were built.

The moral of this story is this: market place success begins with and ends with the customer. If you must achieve commercial success, don’t just pay lip service to the customer. Whether its acquisition, retention or development, the job is never quite over. It is a continuous cycle. Just like marketing is about making things that people want and making people want things, the customer service mandate is a continuous affair. The excellence part of it comes from constantly oiling the wheel of relationship with the customer. Everything must revolve around the customer and don’t forget to do all you must to unearth the fundamentals. Begin with this in sight. Herein lies the secret of success. Look unto the customer- a king for all season.

Pottery Reminders

Pottery mistakes that is..

Here are a few mistakes that have been popping up that are easy to fix!

Over Glazing

Too much clear glaze will leave pottery with a hazy appearance. This can happen by:

  • dipping pottery too slowly
  • not shaking enough of the excess glaze off
  • not finger sanding the overlapping layers

Remember, at this point, the pottery is still porous. So the longer it is in the clear glaze the more glaze it will absorb. Just a quick dip to cover the pottery is all you need.

Once your done dipping, shake (carefully but with some muscle) until there are basically no more drops coming off of the pottery.

When the pottery is dry, run the overlapping layer to thin it down. (but not too much!)

Pottery Fusing to Shelves/Stilts

It's VERY important that pottery is either
    1) wiped 100% clean on the bottom or
    2) stilted.
What guests are "painting" on their pottery is not paint, but glaze. All glaze will liquify in the kiln and then fuse to whatever surface it is touching. So, failing to clean off the glaze or stilt will result in breaking and ruining the pottery.

Also, see photo below for how not to use stilts.

Missing accessories

Lastly, don't forget to add things like bank plugs, ornament tops, travel mug lids, etc. to pottery! If you're not sure what something is, or if it has an accessories, just ask!


Gabriel Garcia Márquez' "One Hundred Years of Solitude" as critique on latin americans?

Gabriel Garcia Márquez’ One Hundred Years of Solitude as critique on Latin Americans?

Garcia Marquez’ novel One Hundred Years of Solitude records the rise and fall of a fictional town called Macondo. Although this town is invented by the author, its foundation, its development and its fall show social and political realities we know from Latin America’s past and Colombia’s history in particular. The Buendìa family, who founded the town and lives in it for six generations throughout the novel, mirrors Colombian reality post Spanish imperialism e.g. the Civil War, the take over of the United Fruit Company of Boston, the massacre of Cienaga etc. All these events can be found in the book and can be related to Latin American history. Since the novel is amazingly rich and breaks narrative linearity through flashbacks and flashforwards, the similarities and the obvious connection between reality and fiction is used as a framework for this paper and lead to the question of whether there is a political message in the book, or not. Using the history of Latin America and the events in the book referring to it, I will prove that there is more that just a critique on the current behaviour of Latin Americans. The use of magical realism concerning time shows that history is circular, it repeats itself if you do not learn through your experiences, if you refuse to progress but stick to the progress of others. This is the mistake, the Buendias commit and this mistake should be conferred to Latin America in order to finally “combat a plague of amnesia.” (Conniff, 167)

Macondo is founded initially. Its settlers left their hometown Riohachaso without itinerary. They had no clue where to go. “They simply tried to go in a direction opposite to the road to Riohachaso that they would not leave any trace or meet any people they knew.” (Marquez, 24). This shows that they want to cut off any contact with the civilization they had lived in before and it also shows that they want to cut off with their history. Colombia has been a Spanish colony until 1824, when it, as a part of la gran Colombia, gained its independence. The novel depicts some colonial leftovers one can find in Latin America. Jose Arcadio who just got to know a magnet the gypsies brought, tries to find gold with this magnet. All he finds is “a suit of fifteenth-century armour” (Garcia 2). That’s all we get to know about it. This fact shows us that Jose does not consider the armour valuable enough to think of its history. The magnet and other inventions that come from outside Macondo is/are what occupies his mind from now on. For the founding of Macondo he had made sure that all houses were placed in a way that no one had more sun than the other, everyone had the same way to the water - all in all he wanted to start a socially equal life in their newly found town. Yet, his “spirit of social initiative disappeared in a short time pulled away by the fever of magnets […] and the urge to discover the wonders of the world. (Conniff, 172)

Title: Gabriel Garcia Márquez'  "One Hundred Years of Solitude" as critique on latin americans?


Trinity on Tylos

Venice Dylenski is the security chief of the colonization vessel Excalibur, and at times she is bored because she has very little to do while the ship is cruising through space. Indeed, she wonders if her husband’s position as executive officer of the ship is the only reason she is even onboard.

But the Excalibur is about to encounter Azareel, an alien captain with superior firepower and a hidden agenda. While seeking a home for human colonists, the crew of the Excalibur meets the Archeons, who take Venice and a companion captive. In short order, Azareel informs his prisoners that they will play a critical role in revitalizing his dying race, that of surrogate mothers to genetically engineered Archeon offspring. Venice, reluctant “to be the next Archeon soccer mom,” strives to escape, but her companion seems all too willing to cooperate with their captor.

Trinity on Tylos has complex characters faced with myriad problems to solve, set in a future where man may have escaped the bounds of his solar system, but not the bonds of human emotions.

Online reviews of Trinity on Tylos:

“…it starts out like a typical science fiction novel, and then, suddenly, takes off into undiscovered country. The author has a great talent for putting emotions into words; I truly felt what the characters were feeling throughout the story. To make things more interesting, the characterizations are so complex that there are no “good” guys, nor “bad” guys, only complex people doing what they must to survive.” —Fallen Angels Reviews

TRINITY ON TYLOS is a fascinating science fiction thriller starring a courageous heroine and a desperate race on the eve of extinction. The dilemma confronting Azareel grips the audience as he does deeds he hates, but considers for the greater good of his species supersedes his personal feelings; interestingly Venice is his ethical mirror as she struggles with what to do. This is a strong morality drama that requires one enormous light year leap of faith well worth the jump.” — Review Centre
