Readings - Bohmian-Mechanics.net This is part of a correspondence between Sheldon Goldstein and Steven Weinberg on Bohmian Mechanics. It is published here with the kind permission of both. From: oldstein@fermat.rutgers.edu To: WEINBERG@utaphy.ph.utexas.edu Subject: NYRB Date: Sun, Sep 22 1996, 17:14:44 Dear Professor Weinberg, In your recent response in the NYRB, you ask George Levine, my colleague here at Rutgers, to "suppose that physicists were to announce the discovery that, beneath the apparently quantum mechanical appearance of atoms, there lies a more fundamental substructure of fields and particles that behave according to the rules of plain old classical mechanics." I agree with your point that this should make little difference to our views about culture or philosophy. Best, Shelly Goldstein From: WEINBERG@physics.utexas.edu To: oldstein@fermat.rutgers.edu Subject: Bohm's quantum mechanics Date: Tue, 24 Sep 1996, 21:01:39 -0500 (CDT) Dear Professor Oldstein, I have carried out the experiment you requested.

Urantia News - Verifying History and Science in The Urantia Book Masters of the Secret - free Online Course Offer Christian Existential Phenomenology WHAT IS CEP?Christian Existential Phenomenology is an epistemology (i.e., theory of knowledge) that seeks to explore the relationship between post-modern critical theory (e.g., deconstruction, post-structuralism) and an Existentialism drawing from a Christian worldview and the pragmatism of phenomenological philosophy and modern science. The below items represent critical thinking toward these subjects that I initially began in 1991 and successively built upon with the following items written in 1992, 1993, and 1996. A READING TACTIC INTO CEP The following items are arranged chronologically from bottom to top to indicate the progressive development of CEP.

Verbal De-Escalation Techniques - National Association of Social Workers When a potentially violent situation threatens to erupt on the spot and no weapon is present, verbal de-escalation is appropriate.

The first and only objective in de-escalation is to reduce the level of arousal so that discussion becomes possible. De-escalation techniques are abnormal. A. Appear calm, centered and self-assured even though you don’t feel it. B. Never turn your back for any reason. C. Remember that there is no content except trying to calmly bring the level of arousal down to baseline. There is nothing magic about talking someone down.
