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.
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. (1996) A Formal Outline of Christian Existential Phenomenology, including a Literary Reading Practice (1993) The Significance of Language Reconsidered, or first steps toward a Christian literary theory(-practice), which might be called: Christian Existential Phenomenology --- follow-up essay, Spring, 1993 [unpublished]
List of constructed languages This list of notable constructed languages is in alphabetical order, and divided into auxiliary, engineered, and artistic (including fictional) languages, and their respective subgenres. Auxiliary languages[edit] International auxiliary languages are languages constructed to provide communication among all human beings, or a significant portion, without necessarily replacing native languages. Controlled languages[edit] Controlled languages are natural languages that have in some way been altered to make them simpler, easier to use, or more acceptable in certain circumstances, such as when a person does not speak the original language well. Visual languages[edit] Visual languages use symbols or movements in place of the spoken word. Engineered languages[edit] Human-usable[edit] Knowledge representation[edit] Artistic/fictional languages[edit] Languages used in fiction[edit] J. (see also Languages constructed by J.

The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene Chapter 4 (Pages 1 to 6 of the manuscript, containing chapters 1 - 3, are lost. The extant text starts on page 7...) . . . Will matter then be destroyed or not? 22) The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots. 23) For the nature of matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone. 24) He who has ears to hear, let him hear. 25) Peter said to him, Since you have explained everything to us, tell us this also: What is the sin of the world? Chapter 5 1) But they were grieved. Chapter 8: . . . it. 10) And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending. Chapter 9 1) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her. 2) But Andrew answered and said to the brethren, Say what you wish to say about what she has said.
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. There are two important concepts to keep in mind: Reasoning with an enraged person is not possible. 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.
Knickers Model's Own | Other than my pants, the rest are charity finds Cultural appropriation Wearing a sacred or imitation war bonnet as a "fashion accessory" is an example of cultural appropriation.[1][2] Cultural appropriation is the adoption of an oppressed people's cultural elements by members of the dominant culture, or by members of any culture that has historically oppressed the peoples of the originating culture.[3] Appropriation may eventually lead to the appropriating group being seen as the new face of said cultural practices. As oppressed peoples' cultures are mimicked by the dominant culture, observers may begin to falsely associate certain cultural practices with the mimicker, and not with the people who originated them. This is often seen in the use by cultural outsiders of a minority, oppressed culture's symbols or other cultural elements, such as music, dance, spiritual ceremonies, modes of dress, speech and social behaviour, among other cultural expressions.[3][4][5] Overview[edit] Examples[edit] Art, iconography, and adornment[edit] Costumes[edit] Sports[edit]
Muzak [ESTWeb Main Index] [ESTWeb Articles Index] For anyone living in the West today, "background art" and music are virtually unavoidable. Public and business space are often saturated with visual and aural stimulation, yet the content of this stimulation - dilute and inoffensive by design - is bypassed by both art historical and musicological analysis. Yet to conclude that the subject is pure sociology would be to overlook some important implications for those interested and involved with the development of new creative languages. In the postmodern environment, context and subtext are all, and the manufacturers of Background product have long recognised this and used it to their own ends. It is important to understand that "Muzak" is not simply another term for background music, but the name of an American corporation, and the indicator of something more sophisticated at work. Muzak is scientifically engineered sound - functional music rather than entertainment. Promotional material from:
10 Fictional Elements From the Entertainment World - Listosaur | Hungry for Knowledge Nothing drives a science fiction plot along like throwing in a good fictional element or chemical compound or two. And while some purists may decry this as “plot resolution by techno-babble,” a well-crafted fictional element can enhance a created universe and serve as a way to give characters real-world limitations. Every superhero has got to have a strength or weakness, right? Think of Dune, where the galactic economy is linked to the power of the Spice. In the recent Avengers movie, Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit was formerly powered by palladium (a real element), to be replaced by an unnamed fictional one in Iron Man 2. Following is a look at 10 memorable substances from the worlds of superheroes and science fiction. Unobtanium, from the movie Avatar © 2007 Twentieth Century Fox 10. 9. This is a fictional element in the World of Warcraft. 8. This is the crucial fuel used to power their “faster-than-light” (FTL) drives in the Battlestar Galactica series. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
Lessons of the Campfire: People as spiritual beings to be loved and respected. As a child, I never did any camping because I never became a Boy Scout. Besides, as one who was living in a rural/small town environment in south-central Wisconsin, camping was an irrelevant experience. Upon graduation from secondary school, however, my family traveled from Wisconsin to eastern Washington (where my dad had once worked on a wheat ranch during summertime), and then on to San Bernardino, California (where my dad had attended secondary school, and where a married brother and married sister were still living), and did tent-camping along the way. After my marriage, however, and while my wife and I were living in Ohio, we started to do some tent-camping together. We purchased a “pop-up” camping trailer, and started using that for camping. When we moved back to Wisconsin, we brought the trailer with us. As I was reflecting about my past camping experience recently, it occurred to me that a campfire can be thought of as having symbolic significance. Sponsored link. Sponsored link
Spirituality and campfires - Phoenix Spiritual What is it about camp fires that attracts us? We seem to have an old, ingrained memory of fire that draws us to it. Our ancestors told stories around camp fires. Camp fires brought us together as families and communities. For those with portable or stationary backyard firepits or those able to go camping, enjoy the peace and comradery afforded by camp fires. As you watch the flames, allow your worries and the stress of everyday life to fall away and be absorbed by the surrounding darkness. You have a living fire within you - a divine spark of the brightest essence. Please don't allow life's rain to put out the spiritual fire that burns within you. Peace to all
