Doing Without Concepts by Edouard Machery. Doing Without Concepts — Edouard Machery. Malt – – Mind and Language 25 5: Over recent years, the psychology of concepts has been rejuvenated by new work on prototypes, inventive ideas on causal cognition, the development of neo-empiricist theories of concepts, and the inputs of the budding neuropsychology of concepts. To clarify what Machery means, I will summarize his book.

The Exemplar Paradigm of Concepts 4. Since the death of the classical view of concepts, three paradigms about concepts have emerged in psychology: Evidence for the Existence of Concepts 3. Abath – – Philosophical Quarterly 61 Anyone interested in cognitive science’s emerging view of the mind will find Machery’s provocative ideas of interest. As Fodor, following Quine, would emphasize, the “bodies of knowledge” people use in making judgments about a topic varies with their knowledge.
Andrew Woodfield – – Analysis 70 1: Results in these areas have led many psychologists to reject what they regard as “the Classical View” that was inherited from traditional philosophy, according to which concepts have necessary and sufficient defining concepte known to competent users of them p.

Theoretical Notions and Their Operationalization. Edouard Machery – – Oxford University Press. Even their most ardent proponents would agree that at best they suggest a strategy for allowing for conceptual stability across people. Machery provides an excellent review of major issues roing the psychological literature on concepts and categorization and a very useful discussion of the contrasting goals of the philosophers who study concepts and the psychologists who do.
Doing without Concepts Edouard Machery Abstract Over recent years, the psychology of oding has been rejuvenated by new work on prototypes, inventive ideas on causal cognition, the development of cohcepts theories of concepts, and the inputs of the budding neuropsychology of concepts.
If he’s right, and I suspect that he is, then both philosophers and psychologists who write about concepts will have to do some quite fundamental rethinking.
Indeed, when the two tasks are properly distinguished, “most philosophical attacks against the psychological theories of concepts are decisively undermined” p. Alternative Characterizations of the Notion of Concept Chapter 2. Simply Rational Gerd Gigerenzer.
Review of Machery, ‘Doing Without Concepts’
According to these views, the identity conditions for a concept are to a first approximation provided not by some condition internal to a thinker, but by relations the thinker bears to phenomena in the external world. In Doing without ConceptsEdouard Machery argues that the dominant psychological theories of concepts fail to provide such a framework and that drastic conceptual changes are required to make sense of the research on concepts in psychology and neuropsychology.
After reviewing the psychological literature on concepts, Machery proposes that by “concept” psychologists usually mean something like this:. This book is available as part of Oxford Scholarship Online – view abstracts and keywords at book and chapter level.
Hybrid Theories of Concepts Chapter 4. Certainly, much of the psychological work he reviews explicitly addresses the nature of “concepts”. Classical, Early, and Medieval Plays and Playwrights: Doing Without Concepts, by Edouard Machery. A solution to it should, of course, be informed by empirical data.
He does think that “prototypes, exemplars, and theories are among the ‘fundamental’ kinds of concepts,” in that they subsume strategies across domains, but argues that “there is withlut evidence that the notion of concept underwrites non-trivial scientific generalizations,” and that therefore the term “ought to be eliminated from psychology” pp.
The first seven chapters provide the evidence for Machery’s first four claims. In brief, concepts are not a natural kind. As such, psychologists and philosophers are engaging in different projects when they talk about concepts, and Machery reviews some cases in which this has caused wituout. Concepts Are Not a Natural Kind.
André J. Abath, Doing without Concepts – Edouard Machery – PhilPapers
Indeed, it allows for the possibility — famously endorsed by Fodor and Chomsky, echoing Plato and Descartes — that many concepts may be innate: Hugo Mercier – – Biology and Philosophy 25 2: Concepts in psychology and philosophy After reviewing clncepts psychological literature on concepts, Machery proposes that by “concept” psychologists usually mean something like this: To purchase, visit your preferred ebook provider.
Moreover, the significance of externalist proposals is not that thinkers’ deployment of wighout is always externally grounded, but only that this happens a lot and is surely a serious possibility. Without some kind of serious answer to this question and an account of conceptual stability, it’s, again, hard to see how psychologists could sustain their explanations.

I appreciate the subject of this might seem obvious, but I’m hoping that by explaining what I’m doing, whether there’s a solution I’ve not thought of…
We your Github Actions starter defined like this:
on: [push] jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 run: | git config --global push.default simple git remote set-url origin "https://$GH_ACTOR:$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY.git" - name: Build Package run: | git fetch --prune --unshallow --tags && docker build .
Hence, for any branch which is pushed/updated, we fire off docker to do all of our building for us. This is because our environment is very specific. Once a build succeeds within docker, one or several artefacts are published to a cloud repository.
This works great.
However, here’s the problem I’m facing… for one specific branch (
branch-x) when a push occurs, the docker container goes through the same process of building and uploading, but will also automatically commit a piece of metadata and tag that commit, pushing the commit and tag to the repository on Github.
This works, however as soon as that happens, Github Actions realises something has occurred on
branch-x and then proceeds to build the commit it has just committed and tagged, only to commit more metadata and tag the repository on
branch-x. The result is now an endless loop.
So some questions around this:
- Should I be separating out in Github Actions the difference between
pull-requestbuild steps? Even if I did, this poses some further problems for me:
This would end using two builds in the case where
topic-branchhas been pushed to, and had a corresponding open pull-request. This is undesirable as this is a redundant step and ultimately eats in to the build minutes on Github.
It still wouldn’t necessarily solve the cyclical build problem I’ve just described.
- I did think of trying to solve this by checking the
HEAD~1commit (i.e., previous commit), and check if the two commits together were tagged with the metadata, but this feels clunky. Indeed, even though I could detect this condition, failing this step doesn’t invalidate other steps in the build.
What are my other options? How can I break the cyclic dependencies on
TIA. If I can clarify any points, do please let me know.

Buffalo is an AMAZING place to live, the people are friendly, there's a ton of culture, history and art as well as some of the prettiest summers anywhere.
Plus you know... Niagara Falls! (Which I almost never go to unless I have company in from out of town, you really DO take things for granted)
But Buffalo is a special kind of place. I've had lots of ideas of things to do to commemorate my hometown for a long time but it never felt quite right, until recently I came up with a plan.
Here is the first in that series.

When we began work on this project, we were planning on using an arduino at the heart. However, after some initial tests, we found that the arduino just wasn’t powerful enough to keep up with all of the processing that we wanted to do. A friend pointed us towards the propeller platform. While I wasn’t too excited to learn an entirely new platform, I agreed to give it a try, and I have been very pleased with the propeller.
I have worked with TLC5940 LED drivers on previous projects, and we were pretty set on using them to drive the LEDs on this project. So once we got the propeller up and running, the first thing we tried to do was drive some LEDs. Fortunately, someone had been down this road before and shared the code. It wasn’t long before we had LEDs dancing in all colors of the rainbow.
After spending some time with the propeller and the TLCs, we noticed a few shortcomings in the TLC library. The library only used the upper 8 bits of the available 12 bits of resolution on the TLC chips. Additionally, dot correction was not implemented. After a bit of tinkering, we were able to convince the propeller to communicate with the TLCs in full 12 bit resolution, as well as send the TLC dot correction data. We’ve posted our code on the object exchange and on github. There is still room for a lot of improvement to this library. Since there is no 12 bit data type in Spin (the propeller’s language), we used an array of 16 bit words to store the data. Obviously we could make better use of memory. Due to the multi-core nature of the propeller, I think this chip also has great potential to multiplex the outputs of the TLCs, but we’ll save that for another project.

'He has quite a comedic streak': Harry Styles crashes parents' lawn mower in clip from One Direction: This Is Us DVD
He may have sold millions of records worldwide with his One Direction bandmates, but when it comes to cutting the grass, Harry Styles doesn't exactly fill his parents with confidence.
The singer is seen crashing a lawn mower in an unseen clip from the teen heartthrobs' movie One Direction: This Is Us, as his mother and father watch on.
The 19-year-old shouts: 'I've got no breaks, I've got no breaks,' before a thud can be heard from behind a tree.

'Comedic streak': Harry Styles is seen raising his hand up for a high five with his mother, after pretending to crash the family's lawn mower in a clip from One Direction: This Is Us
The star, who has recently been linked with Daisy Lowe and Kendall Jenner, is then seen reversing back with a cheeky grin on his face suggesting it was all a ploy for a laugh.
Speaking to the camera, his mother, Anne, says: 'When he's home, he's just Harry and things are normal.
'He raids the fridge and makes a mess, like every other teenage person. He has quite a comedic streak.'

Suspect in Sumner County killings got probation despite threatening to 'finish the job' when he got out
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation responded to a crime scene in Sumner County on Saturday, April 27 at 5:30 pm only to find a string of bodies all suspected to be linked to one person.
The officials found four bodies in a home on Charles Brown Road after a family member who spotted the homicides called 911.
As the detectives were conducting their probe into the incident and collecting evidence from the house, they were alerted of another person who had been found critically injured in the region and was transported to the hospital.
It was revealed that the wounded person was also linked to the murdered family and was a relative of Michael Cummins — an offender on probation.
A few minutes later, the TBI reported that another body had been found in a home on Luby Brown Road and that the scenes were believed to be connected.
The investigation bureau, at 7:21, named Michael Cummins as a person of interest in the case and a manhunt was launched for him. It was reported that he was believed to be armed and spotted in the woods near the crime scene. The TBI also deployed an aircraft to assist the search for Cummins.
After over two hours of manhunt, which involved more than 100 law enforcement agents, 25-year-old Cummins was taken in custody at 10:00 pm. He was reportedly arrested in a creek bed less than a mile away from the home on Charles Brown Road after the TBI aircraft personnel identified indications of his person in the region. The county's joint SWAT Team shot Cummins during the course of his arrest and he was transported to TriStar Skyline Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
As the initial probe of the four bodies in the home on Charles Brown Road progressed to Sunday, authorities at 1:19 pm found a fifth body in the same house, and two hours later an additional body was discovered, taking the toll to six in the same house and one in a separate home. Cummins, by this time, had been linked to seven homicides in the region, one of the deadliest the county has ever witnessed.
The TBI identified the deceased victims on Monday as David Carl Cummins, 51, the suspect's father; Clara Jane Cummins, 44, the suspect's mother; and Charles Edward Hosale, 44, the suspect's uncle. Another family was also found dead in the same home and they were identified as Rachel Dawn McGlothlin-Pee, 43; Sapphire McGlothlin-Pee, 12, Rachel’s daughter; and Marsha Elizabeth Nuckols, 64, Rachel’s mother. Officials are currently investigating the possible connection of the second family to Michael Cummins.
The victim found in her home on Luby Brown Road was identified as Shirley B. Fehrle, 69. Fehrle, so far, has no known relations to the suspect.
Court documents filed on Monday alleged that Cummins had stolen a car when he was on the killing spree and the vehicle, which was found abandoned, was determined to belong to Fehrle.
The motive for the gruesome killings has not been established yet. However, there are indications that Cummins struggled with mental issues. Judge Dee David Gay on Monday filed a violation of probation order against Cummins for violating probation by being a suspect in the seven homicides, according to Tennessean.
According to the order, Cummins had failed to comply with the requirements to undergo a mental health evaluation and to not contact the woman involved in a previous arson conviction in 2017. This was the first violation issued against him since his probation order in the case was signed in July, 2018.
Cummins was charged on September 13, 2017 in connection to an aggravated arson case. He was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment, however, he was placed on 10 years of probation by a Sumner County late summer after he pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated arson and aggravated assault. The house he attacked was a few feet away from the current crime scene on Charles Brown Road.
An arrest warrant stated that he had told a Sumner County Sheriff's Office deputy at the time of his 2017 arrest: "If I get out of jail, I'll go there and do it again... when I get out, I'll finish the job."
The victims found over the weekend did not include the woman in the arson case.
Court documents also alleged that Cummins, hours before his arrest, was spotted wearing a bloodstained shirt and told acquaintances that he was saving a bullet later for himself.

A Texas mother is livid after her 16-year-old son came home from school with a haircut that "made him look like Jim Carry in Dumb or Dumber but worse." Lane Kiesling explained that Shelli Stegall, the principal at Hico High School told him that his bangs had gotten too long it needed to be cut.
Lane's mother, Amy Martin, explained that she had attempted to take her son to a barber, but money is tight because they had recently moved and she is suffering from medical problems.
"They told him he needed a haircut and we tried 3 times and failed for various reasons. It's not his fault, it's mine," Martin wrote on Facebook.
A few days later Stegall told Kiesling that a teacher who has a cosmetology license would cut his hair at the end of the school day.
Instead, he was pulled out of his seventh-period class, and the teacher only cut his bangs, sending him back to class with a horrific haircut. Kiesling said that the students mocked him and told his mother he doesn't want to go back to school.
Martin complained to Stegall and she took Lane to a barber where she paid to have his hair cut properly.
Martin also contacted the police, who told her that they would send the school resource officer to take a report. When she asked if an officer not associated with the school could come and fill out the report she was told that was not possible.
After she shared her story on Facebook Hico Police Chief Ronnie Ashmore came to her house to take her statement.
“He was very apologetic,” she told the Stephenville Empire-Tribune. “He had no idea about this situation and couldn’t believe I had called the department three times before anyone responded. I gave him a statement, and we will see what happens.
Martin said that she has contacted an attorney and could file a lawsuit against the school.
“It’s not that we disagree with the rules, but there was a better way to handle this,” she said. “My son has been traumatized. This is a lot for a kid to deal with. He wants to change schools.”

PITMAN — Kindle School fifth-grader Mason Smith said his school’s anti-bullying campaigns have been very effective so far, creating a school environment that everyone can enjoy.
“We’ve been making sure no one yells at each other or calls each other names and that everyone keeps their hands to themselves,” said Mason, 10, who serves as a school safety. “If you’re not friendly and fair, you’re mean to others. It’s important to be respectful.”
Principal Fran Yearwood said to recognize the state-designated Week of Respect, students have been participating in various activities meant to emphasize the positive attributes they should possess to be good classmates and citizens. But Kindle’s anti-bullying campaign started long before the state released its new guidelines, beginning in 2009 with a visit from personal empowerment coach Randy Nathan who offered character education guidelines students have followed ever since.
Kindle School had a mural painted over the summer which features cartoon kids playing, highlighting the message “Kindle kids are friendly, fair, respectful, helpful and kind.” Yearwood said, during this Week of Respect, students read the words aloud before they head out to recess each day. And, each morning, a student has been adding encouragement to follow these guidelines during morning announcements.
“Fifth graders made banners for the hallway and the art teacher had students create a wall mosaic,” said Yearwood. “The teachers have also been having class meetings every day, taking each one of the characteristics and telling students what it looks like in a person and how it affects the school, town, nation and world.”
Yearwood said Kindle hopes to provide the kids with the tools they need to think and act positively all the time.
“Our Coach Randy Patrol has reorganized with new students for this year, and they’re already planning activities,” said Yearwood. “I’m so thankful for our Home and School Association who sponsored Coach Randy’s visit. We’ve been doing that for two years, and it’s given us a common language and a good foundation to build on. Of course, we have to continue to work on it and talk about it for it to be effective.”
Reading the mural, most of the students seemed to feel all of the positive characteristics are important for their school.
“If we didn’t act this way, we would all be out of hand and get in trouble a lot,” said Skye Chang, 10.
“We’d be out of control, and it would be hard for anyone to make friends,” added Jessica Wilson, 10.
Jake Maden said, as a safety officer, he is responsible to help enforce these positive qualities.
“We’re helping people to be more respectful and fair,” said Jake, 10. “We don’t want kids to bully. We want them to be kind.”
Justin Adams and Sean Drummey, both 10, said they’ve seen a positive change among their classmates since these ideas were promoted.
“With bullies around, it just makes life harder for everyone,” said Justin.
Katelyn Tierney, 8, said the respect policies are good for all students.
“If we weren’t doing this, it wouldn’t be nice to go to this school,” said Katelyn.
“There might be more bullies and people wouldn’t be as nice,” added Cameron Cronin, 8.
Ian Keith and Isabella Ross, both 8, said they’ve enjoyed being part of a school where “most people are nice.”
“Everybody is being more respectful, kind and fair,” said Isabella.

Brazil – Inside Brazil’s Abortion Pill Black Market
Date: August 21, 2022
Brazil – Inside Brazil’s Abortion Pill Black Market
In a country where one woman dies every two days from a botched abortion, the internet is sometimes the only option.
By Leonardo Coelho, a Brazilian journalist based in Rio de Janeiro.
JULY 8, 2022 – Under a run-of-the-mill news clip posted on YouTube in 2012 covering Brazil’s online black market of abortion pills, something strange has happened in the comments section. Even though the video is a decade old, the comments—now totaling more than 68,000—continue to pile up every day.
Nearly all the new comments appear to be from female users with phone numbers in their usernames. Although it’s not entirely clear who these users are, they seem to be promoting mysterious individuals with names like Alice and Maísa who can provide “Cyto.
”“I was caught in a very bad time. r had no financial or psychological stability, so I decided that I didn’t want to carry on with this pregnancy, and ALICE helped me she was very good to me,” one wrote.
All of these comments are, in reality, advertising extralegal businesses that sell Cytotec, the trade name of misoprostol—an “essential medicine,” according to the World Health Organization, that can treat ulcers, induce labor, and safely terminate pregnancies. Misoprostol is one half of what’s commonly referred to as the abortion pill. (The other half, mifepristone, is not yet sold in Brazil, though misoprostol can still be used on its own with only slightly lower efficacy.)
For decades, misoprostol has been widely sold in Brazil—where abortion is criminalized—as an abortion pill, finding its way to consumers online and on the streets through basic but effective marketing strategies. Yet since it is illegal to buy and sell these pills, the market for them is unregulated, and Brazilians seeking misoprostol are forced to navigate serious legal and medical risks.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the federal right to abortion, demand for abortion pills—including in states where the procedure is now banned—is already on the rise. In the United States, mailing these pills has been cited by the anti-abortion lobby as the next frontier in the fight to ban abortion completely. What’s been happening for decades in Brazil—another major Western democracy with serious abortion restrictions—may offer some clues as to what lies ahead for the United States.
In Brazil, nearly all abortions are illegal, but in practice, they’re widespread. They are only legal in three circumstances: rape, risk to the pregnant person’s life, and fetal anencephaly (a birth defect that affects the brain and skull). Sometimes, not even these parameters are respected in the legal process, as was seen in the recent case of an 11-year-old child who was forced by a judge to carry a pregnancy for weeks after she was raped. The penalty for undergoing an illegal abortion is up to three years in prison.
Yet according to Brazil’s National Abortion Survey from 2016, the most recent year the survey was conducted, nearly 1 in 5 women had undergone at least one abortion by the age of 40, and half of the 416,000 abortions in 2015 were performed using some type of medication, the most common being misoprostol. In a 2018 Brazilian Supreme Federal Court hearing, the Ministry of Health estimated that at least 1 million abortions take place each year, with one woman dying every two days from a botched abortion.
It all started in the late 1980s, when Brazilian women became the first in the world to realize that misoprostol—which was sold in pharmacies to treat ulcers starting in 1986—could also be used to terminate pregnancies. The drug quickly soared in popularity. It didn’t require a prescription, and it was cheap and safe compared with other invasive abortion methods. The World Health Organization has now recommended misoprostol as a method of abortion for more than a decade. As word spread, the state caught on. In 1998, Brazil registered misoprostol as a controlled substance, and it could no longer circulate legally outside of authorized health facilities.
Brazil—similar to a number of other countries in the region, such as Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela—now has a “vast black market for abortion pills … where different kinds of unofficial networks operate,” said Alejandra Marks, a doctoral student in anthropology at Tulane University who studies networks of abortion care in Latin America.
Despite Brazil’s strict laws, on the street, misoprostol pills are sold in informal commerce districts and fairs. It recently took a New York Times reporter less than one minute to find a seller on a Rio de Janeiro street.
It’s easy to find misoprostol on the internet too. Marks said Brazilians she has talked to for her research tend to start their search online, typing words like “how to do an abortion” or “Cytotec” into Google and Facebook and quickly finding their way.
Despite its availability, obtaining misoprostol through illegal channels comes with risks.
This is exactly what happened to Bruna, a 37-year-old Brazilian teacher who bought misoprostol online. Bruna, who asked not to use her surname, went straight to Google. “I was too afraid to go to an illegal clinic,” she told Foreign Policy. These clinics are relatively common, but stories like that of Jandyra Magdalena dos Santos Cruz—who was found mutilated, dismembered, and burned after allegedly dying during a botched abortion in a makeshift clinic in 2014—have created a climate of fear around them.
Across social media, ads for Cytotec like those in the YouTube video comments section are common. They are often disguised as content, profiles, and even locations on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps, Pinterest, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Many of these profiles feature feminine imagery, with pastel-toned illustrations of women smiling. Others display neutral representations of medicine, including white coats and stethoscopes. Some of these ads evade potential content moderation by using leetspeak, when numbers and other characters replace letters. They also often accompany photos of items that appear to be for sale, such as phone cases or handbags.
The goal of the ads is to funnel potential buyers directly to instant messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, a pipeline that has worked for more than a decade. Although it’s hard to find clear data about the suppliers, reports indicate there is a wide spectrum of providers: from doctors to medical students to poor people serving as mules who transport the drug into Brazil from other Latin American countries.
Comments, reviews, and testimonies—even if they’re fake—are an important part of this process and work to sway potential buyers. Bruna attested to this, as she said she bought the pills from the seller who had the most credible testimonies in an online forum and who identified as a woman.
“I was surprised by the extent to which testimonies from other women—strangers on social media—influenced Brazilian women’s decisions for who to trust and where to buy Cytotec pills,” Marks said, adding that fear and stigma around abortion made her interviewees feel like they could trust strangers (whom they could conceal their identities from) more than their close friends and family.
Despite its availability, obtaining misoprostol through illegal channels comes with risks. It is much more expensive than its retail price (which ranges from 5 cents to $2 per pill in countries where it’s legally sold as an abortion pill), and a pack of pills needed for an abortion often sells for hundreds of dollars. There’s also no regulatory or quality control, and sellers can peddle counterfeit pills or store misoprostol incorrectly, thus making it less effective. (Bruna, for instance, said the first time she bought misoprostol, the pills did not work, and the supplier blocked her after she told him.) Even though complications from using misoprostol are relatively rare, there are occasionally side effects that warrant medical attention. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, about 1 out of 100 women who take misoprostol and mifepristone experiences heavy bleeding that might require a surgical procedure.
Another major medical problem is the lack of necessary information. As Mariana Prandini Assis, a political science professor at the Federal University of Goiás, said: “There are many available studies that show that this is a safe procedure if the protocols are followed. Going into labor is much riskier than performing such type of abortion with proper information.” But many Brazilians do not have that information, and some are unaware, for instance, that taking misoprostol with certain preexisting conditions might put their life at risk.
Compounding these issues is the risk of legal charges. Trials concerning possession of misoprostol have spiked since 2010, according to a recent study in Reports in Public Health (CSP). In 62.5 percent of the cases surveyed, it’s the suppliers who were prosecuted. Suppliers who are caught with misoprostol pills can be charged with crimes against public health, which can result in 10 to 15 years in prison—a penalty higher than that for murder or drug trafficking.
People who undergo abortions sometimes face charges too. In the Brazilian state of São Paulo, at least 30 women were officially charged for self-induced abortions in 2017; most were reported by doctors or nurses they saw after complications from misoprostol. It’s not uncommon to see reports of pregnant Brazilians detained in hospitals after miscarriages that had follow-up care or who were questioned at their homes by authorities after buying misoprostol over the internet.
Not even the Brazilian internet has escaped government overreach. Two internal resolutions by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency in 2006 determined that any advertising of misoprostol-based medicines in all media, including online, should be suspended. This April, the Public Prosecutor’s Office gave notice to Facebook to stop the use of WhatsApp in the illegal commerce of medications that induce abortions. In practice, however, these actions have not had much of an impact on online ads.
There is also some genuine societal backlash to misoprostol use. Anti-abortion rights groups and individuals, fueled by a growing evangelical movement, have condemned the pill. Some have even used the tsunami of available content to infiltrate groups of Brazilians seeking the drug and then report users and suppliers to the authorities. As a result, the act of turning to the internet for misoprostol comes with a degree of risk in itself. Still, as Prandini Assis said, “this parallel market undoubtedly creates the possibility of choice in a highly restricted landscape.”
That choice, though, is highly limited. As Anahi Martinho, a 33-year-old journalist from São Paulo, told Foreign Policy, her options when she found herself pregnant many years ago were few and influenced by her doubts, disinformation, and societal taboos.
“I knew about misoprostol, but it was seen as an unsafe and dangerous method used mainly by poorer women,” she said. After saving $1,000 in cash, she had a manual aspiration procedure with an unaccredited doctor who is still well known and sought out by many middle-class women. That day, she said, she went home alone with her fears and malaise. That isolation is similar to the feeling Bruna described, as she sat in her bathroom by herself, her then-boyfriend refusing to accompany her, as she took the pills for a second time.
Regardless of age, class, and race, many Brazilians experience abortion, Marks said, as “an alienating and lonely act that, despite taking place inside the homes they shared with loved ones, was kept secret at all costs.”

Three weeks ago I took my yearly pilgrimage to Walt Disney World, more specifically to Epcot for the 2017 International Food and Wine Festival. For me, this is an event not to be missed!
This year, to celebrate Epcot’s 35th Anniversary (which was celebrated on October 1st), 35 outdoor food kiosks were erected throughout Future World and the World Showcase offering international and regional dishes to sample.
I only dream to be a local one day, so I can strategically plan my tastings over the course of the entire length of the 75-day festival. Sadly I’m not a local yet, so I had limited time to enjoy all it has to offer. I had to plan and prioritize which countries to visit first. Some included old favorites, some were new to the festival.
The heat was stifling (nearly 105) during the days I visited, which can make it very challenging to eat an extensive amount of food. The crowds were also pretty heavy causing longer lines in the blistering heat. While I didn’t get to try everything I wanted, I think I did well considering the short amount of time I had.
Here is a sampling of some of my favorites!
- Loaded Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Nueske’s Pepper Bacon, Cheddar Cheese,
Peppers and Green Onions
- Lump Crab Cake with Napa Cabbage Slaw and Avocado-Lemongrass Cream
- Rib Eye Taco: Marinated Rib Eye, Roasted Chipotle Sauce and Grilled Scallions on a Corn Tortilla
- Tequila Chipotle Shrimp: Served on a Black Bean Huarache garnished with Red and Green Cabbage, Queso Fresco, and Crema Mexicana
- Traditional Spanish Paella with Shrimp, Mussels, Chicken, and Crispy Chorizo
- Seafood Salad with Shrimp Bay Scallops and Mussels, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, White Balsamic Vinegar, and Smoked Paprika
Hops & Barley
- New England Lobster Roll
- Smoked Beef Brisket and Pimento Cheese served on Grilled Garlic Toast
- Anchor Brewing Liberty Ale, San Francisco, CA
If you are local, without a doubt you have tried some of these delicious samplings. If you aren’t local, and planning to visit the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, be sure to add these to your list. You will not be disappointed!
As the years go on, it’s evident by its popularity that food kiosks are popping up more frequently during other Epcot events such as the Flower and Garden Festival, Festival of the Arts, and this years Epcot International Festival of the Holidays from November 19 – December 30, 2017. But nothing can beat the full Epcot International Food and Wine Festival experience! Don’t miss it, there’s still time to enjoy!


Every day seems to bring something unprecedented out of Washington, something entirely outside normal political and journalistic life. We can now add to that the present conflict with North Korea, which is unlike any conflict American journalists have ever covered.
The threats by North Korea’s Kim Jong Un are an historical anomaly, as unprecedented as the fact of Trump himself. The reality of the threat and the surreality of the president who is confronting are what make covering the stand-off with North Korea so difficult. On the one hand, you have a ruthless, erratic, desperate tyrant. On the other, you have a president whose election has been under a cloud of illegitimacy since November, and who now is the subject of a criminal investigation–perhaps several criminal investigations. North Korea’s rapidly growing nuclear capability is real. But to what extent is Trump’s response calculated bluster that will unnecessarily raise tensions with North Korea while serving as another important distraction at home?
After Trump’s election, there was an outpouring of commentary urging the media not to “normalize” Trump, an admonition that seemed unnecessary, given that Trump was such an outsize political aberration. Yet if ever there was a moment to resist the process of normalization it is now, when talking about the possibility of war with North Korea.
The media needs to remind itself of the role it played in the months preceding the Iraq war, when the mainstream media swallowed wholesale the Bush administration’s line about Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction. Part of the reason for the media’s credulity was its fear of appearing unpatriotic. The media’s resistance to Bush, as it had been to Reagan, had become so relentless that accusations of liberal bias began to sting. In that moment, when what was at stake was not some domestic policy but, so it seemed, the fate of the country, the media could not afford to appear partisan.
The media so far has left the military-speak of Trump’s generals untouched.
At this juncture, the media’s resistance to Trump is more intense than it has been to any president in modern American history, even Nixon. How much greater, then, is the fear of appearing unpatriotic when it comes to fateful issues; how much greater for the media is the temptation to prove its lack of bias by raising its voice against a threat to the nation.
The media so far has left the military-speak of Trump’s generals untouched. About two months before Trump and Kim started trading threats, Defense Secretary James Mattis testified in front of a Congressional committee about the possibility of war with North Korea. “It would be a war like nothing we have seen since 1953,” he said, “and we would have to deal with it with whatever level of force was necessary … It would be a very, very serious war.”
Instead of merely quoting Mattis without comment, here is the kind of journalistic thinking that would be useful: The generals are experts in warfare and we need their expertise. But having thrown their lot in with Trump, they do not want to lose his support. And being generals, in a political context, they will have a natural tendency to want to expand their power, to turn political events into military ones, which they may then turn to political advantage. Remember that MacArthur was fired by Truman precisely because MacArthur wanted to expand the Korean War by invading China. The generals have already gotten their way with Afghanistan.
Recently Mattis and other generals have shown prudence with regard to North Korea, publicly urging diplomacy as an alternative to armed conflict. But they are generals, and they are sworn to obey the commander-in-chief. Their instincts are entirely military. So while it is important to acknowledge the generals’ capacity to counteract Trump’s irrational outbursts, it would be a mistake to regard the generals themselves as bastions of rationality, moderation and disinterestedness.
Even as it reports on the prospect of war, the media must continually broaden and deepen its analysis beyond the military perspective. Would China, on which North Korea almost entirely depends, allow Kim to start a conflict that might lead to a nuclear confrontation? Is Kim, who has spent his life preserving himself, ready to immolate himself in response to a mere threat, or insult?
Much to the media’s relief, a soothing narrative is finally beginning to take shape around Trump, of which Steve Bannon was until recently a part, and this narrative has the potential to distort the coverage of the accelerating tension with North Korea. Trump is irrational and dyspeptic; the generals know all about the costs of war, even as they speak more and more about it becoming reality; the grown-ups in the administration are too focused on China to allow a war with North Korea to happen; the Republican party is becoming disillusioned with Trump; Mueller is coming to save us.
The media must resist this fall into a false narrative clarity. If there is some type of clarity, it is coming from a different direction. In all the promiscuous commentary after Trump’s election comparing the country’s imminent future to the world portrayed by Orwell in “1984,” little of it mentioned one aspect of that book that has become increasingly relevant: Orwell’s conceit of his totalitarian regime sustaining itself through the tactic of perpetual war.
In Trump’s case, the media should factor into its approach to covering Trump the possibility that, lacking the full support of the military, and lacking a majority of Americans behind him, Trump will not lead the country into war, but rather will keep the pot boiling with the perpetual threat of armed conflict both internationally and domestically. In the age of Trump, the need to try to see through appearances even as journalists accurately report on appearances is more pressing than ever before.
Trump is using the media’s hostility toward him against it. Knowing that the media will react swiftly and sometimes hysterically to his slightest provocation, he is harnessing the media’s antipathy toward him and making it run in one direction after another. You get the feeling that the threat of perpetual war was always a strategy that he was waiting to use. Bannon’s exit will not make a jot of difference. Trump, to an extraordinary degree, has surrounded himself almost entirely with military people. It is the perfect atmosphere in which to make military peril a perpetual threat.
Trump is using the media’s hostility toward him against it. Knowing that the media will react swiftly and sometimes hysterically to his slightest provocation, he is harnessing the media’s antipathy toward him and making it run in one direction after another.
The ugly fact is that the strategy of perpetual conflict has worked very well for Trump, from North Korea to Charlottesville. The one obstacle to his reign, the Russia investigation, has disappeared from the headlines. A few hundred white supremacists and neo-Nazis responding to a nationwide call to converge on Charlottesville are now being discussed in the media as a possible mainstream political movement, just as last week, and now once again, the media is discussing nuclear apocalypse as a real and imminent event, thus making the unspeakable a more and more acceptable aspect of the possible.
The media has to try to keep its focus. It has to treat situations like North Korea and Charlottesville as both complex and manipulated events. The threat of permanent war and the reality of perpetual conflict mean the consolidation of permanent political power, especially for a president who lacks numerical support.
Finally, journalists must not allow the stand-off with North Korea, confrontation with the alt-right, or any other threat of conflict, to become just another phase in the endless media feast on Trump. On the one hand, the media has to resist the pull of turning everything into a commercially friendly spectacle, as well as the impulse to seize on every event as the one that will finally bring Trump down–thus eclipsing situations that are unfolding in political life. On the other hand, the press cannot allow itself to succumb to criticism that it is not acting in the national interest.
We are in the most perilous political moment of our lifetimes. Everything depends on how the peril, in all its constantly proliferating facets, is projected to the public.

Governor Deval Patrick today joined MassDOT Highway Division Administrator Frank DePaola, state and local officials and business leaders to break ground on the reconstruction of Tyringham Road in Lee. The project will rebuild two miles of Tyringham Road from the Tyringham town line to Route 102 and enhance economic opportunities for Lee and the surrounding communities.
“We are committed to investing in transportation improvements to create growth throughout the Commonwealth,” said Governor Patrick. “Tyringham Road is an excellent example of this commitment and will benefit area residents and visitors for years to come.”
Advancing this project has been a collaborative effort between MassDOT and the community of Lee; Lee funded the design portion of the project. The work includes widening the roadway and adding new retaining walls, guardrails and traffic controls along with drainage improvements. The $4.4 million project also includes reconstruction of the intersection of Tyringham Road and Meadow Street. MassDOT issued the notice to proceed with the project following the passage of the Transportation Bond Bill in April. Construction work is now underway with completion scheduled for spring 2016.
“These long-awaited improvements in Lee will provide better access to dozens of area businesses and connect commuters to the Massachusetts Turnpike,” said Administrator DePaola. “This is just one of many projects statewide that will enhance safe travel on our roads and bridges.”

The performance of the code generated by a compiler depends on the order inwhich the optimization passes are applied. In high-level synthesis, the qualityof the generated circuit relates directly to the code generated by thefront-end compiler. Choosing a good order--often referred to as thephase-ordering problem--is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we evaluate a newtechnique to address the phase-ordering problem: deep reinforcement learning.We implement a framework in the context of the LLVM compiler to optimize theordering for HLS programs and compare the performance of deep reinforcementlearning to state-of-the-art algorithms that address the phase-orderingproblem. Overall, our framework runs one to two orders of magnitude faster thanthese algorithms, and achieves a 16% improvement in circuit performance overthe -O3 compiler flag.

“The campus remained fairly quiet throughout February until two fights and a drunk driving accident were reported near the end of the month.
There was a confrontation between two students on Feb. 26. Apparently, one student struck another student outside the Auditorium Building. The student who was hit went back into the classroom and explained what had happened to the instructor. The instructor then called campus police who rushed to the scene. The Glendale Police Department was called as backup to keep the situation under control.
The injured student received medical attention at the Heath Center. The student who struck him was cited and released. Campus police will forward their report to the district attorney’s office. Students who are involved in criminal incidents such as this are also reported to the school. “They are put through the judicial system on campus and the regular judicial system,” said Police Specialist Nidal Kobaissi.
It is still unclear how the fight started. “We’re still trying to figure out why,” said Kobaissi. “There’s a lot of stories that have to be sorted out.” Students are continuing to come forward and share their sides of the story with campus police.
Later in the day, there was a verbal confrontation in the San Rafael Plaza. Campus police report that friends of the student who was hit confronted the student who had hit him. Police were called to the scene and stopped the confrontation. None of the individuals involved were arrested.
A drunk driving accident was reported in Lot 32 on Feb. 23. The suspect, who is not involved with the school, drove into a fence. Campus police were called to assist. Most students had already gone home for the weekend, so there were few cars in the parking lot. The driver was arrested and there were no serious injuries.
Earlier in the month, on Feb. 7, a petty theft was reported from the Facilities Building. Apparently, someone came by and stole painting tools that were lying in the open. The value of the stolen objects was less than $10, and the perpetrator was not apprehended.
On Feb. 8, a second petty theft was reported from the San Rafael Building. A student had forgotten a wallet in the basket underneath a classroom desk. When the student returned to retrieve the wallet, it was gone. The wallet didn’t contain any money, but did hold the student’s credit cards and identification.
There was a report of vandalism near the Sierra Madre Building, also on Feb. 8, when someone wrote large initials into wet cement. “We just took the report from the contractor,” said Kobaissi. “The contractor had to do it over again.”

When the conditions aren’t great for cross-country skiing, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get outside and enjoy the wonderful trail systems all around Centre County, and one of the best spots to spend your day hiking would be the trails surrounding Mount Nittany. Mount Nittany is an expansive area that offers excellent outdoor recreation with six beautiful overlooks, providing a view of places like Boalsburg, Tussey Mountain, Penns Valley, and more. Whether you’re spending a spring day foraging mushrooms or a winter afternoon hiking some miles, this nearby mountain is tough to beat. On this hike, Geoff begins at the trailhead located just off of Mount Nittany Road where he covers just about a mile on the trail.
Where to begin and end: At the Trailhead off of Mount Nittany Road
Like all outdoor activities, hiking in the winter is something that you want to be prepared to do safely and comfortably, and despite each of us having our own requirements, here are a few things that should be brought along: a good pair of hiking socks, a water bottle, a headlamp for after dusk, trekking poles, and proper clothing for the day’s conditions.

Or I may have to set my minions on you.
After a painful breakup, Gwynneth Reese moves in with her best friend who gets her a job at a retirement home. One evening, she learns that one of the residents has died and goes to the funeral home to pay her last respects. On the way home, Gwynneth is caught in a thunderstorm and is struck by lightning. She wakes in the hospital with a vague memory of being rescued by a mysterious stranger. Following her release from the hospital, Gwynneth is visited by the stranger who seems to appear at will. He shares with her that he has a gift to bestow. At first, Julian seems to be offering a true gift, one that will stay the hands of death. But the gift comes with an exchange that Gwynneth is unsure of, something she can't define. As time progresses, Julian’s price for his gift becomes more demanding. Is he all he claims to be or is there something more sinister to his motives?
“I really appreciate this.” I shut the door hastily and hurried along behind him. “I didn’t really know her family. I wouldn’t feel comfortable inviting myself to the funeral.” Liar, my brain scolded. I knew them. They had visited Mrs. Engel twice and that was all I needed to see. “I just wanted to…” I stopped, catching my breath, “say good-bye, I guess.”
“Yep, got it,” he dismissed my ramblings. “Poppy’s finishing up her make-up for tomorrow. All the way down the stairs. Last door on the left.”
He gestured with a neatly manicured hand toward the general direction of a door which I presumed led to the basement or cellar...or wherever the dead bodies were stored for safe-keeping. So nice, Gwen. Just keep those thoughts coming.
“Thanks.” I followed his gaze to the puddle I was making on the wood floor. “Sorry. It’s raining outside.” Duh. You can shut up now. I slipped out of my worn jean jacket and hung it on one of the mahogany coat racks that flanked the foyer.
He glared at me. “Whatever.”
I watched as Mr. Compassion sauntered down one of the hallways into the darkness. Maybe he saved his best manners for the dead. “Not everyone has to be nice, Gwen,” I murmured. “Just pay your respects and leave.” Warily, I opened the door that led downstairs. It was dark down there and distinctly uninviting. Of course it is. My hand felt for a switch light. Finding none, I headed carefully toward a lit room at the end of the hallway. How ironic. The light at the end of the tunnel is in a bright yellow Addams family house with an asshole for a caretaker. As I made my way down the hall, I could hear talking coming from the room.
“Now you’re just being rude. I didn’t put too much on at all. You look fine. Stop being so persnickety.”
I peeked into the room to see a young woman with a long, red ponytail high on her head, holding a tube of red lipstick and talking to a corpse. Except it wasn’t a corpse...it was Mrs. Engel.
Oh, good god, my brain whispered.

No matter what day of the week it is, it’s always nice to go to the local farmer’s market. Not only are the food and goods top-notch, they also have a nice atmosphere. Not unlike Andrew Tate‘s village grocer, which has a charming house rather than tents and food stalls. No doubt the fruits and vegetables sold outside in crates are locally grown, given the small-town feel of the build. The ground floor has a small convenience shop, and the rest of the house must be where the owners live.
Andrew pays homage to a more famous LEGO grocer, a popular Modular Building set from 2008. The green and tan awning is similarly to the blue and white awning of the LEGO set, and both share the same white Fabuland lamp-posts. Andrew also references LEGO’s Winter Village series with this village grocer’s alpine architecture. It fits right in there, minus the cold and snow. Come to think of it, what’s Winter Village like when it’s not winter?
Forty, that is the amount of LEGO 9V Track Switches used by Jonas Kramm in this creation. I am not going to point all of them out to you, but some of them deserve a special mention. You can look for the rest yourself. He used two in the tuk-tuk, which by itself is a charming build. He used one as the scale pointer. My favorite use has to be the sign of the elderly couple where they are used as minimalist faces.
Besides all the excellent applications of the seed part, this LEGO creation has a lot more to offer. There are a lot of hair pieces used as cabbages. At least one cactus girl lost her limbs to represent cucumber or zucchini. And quite some ball joints to represent turnips. Last but not least is the garlic made from ice cream scoops drying inside the little house. I love it when a builder adds little details like these to places in their creation that are hardly visible.
Monkeys can be a public nuisance in places like India, the Caribbean, and even in Singapore.These particular monkeys however are on a mission and they’ve taken the art of robbing markets to a whole ‘nother level! Kev.the.Builder presents a LEGO scene where a monkey scout sits in the trees and reports every movement to the commander. Another monkey perches atop the stall, waiting for the order to strike. The monkey commander leads the mission, methodically planning a infallible raid sequence. Every mission has its adversities, but the result is always the same: the monkeys get the bananas! Even without the monkeys, this would be an engaging scene with great colors and textures. The Mediterranean tile roof, the thatched awning, even the caged chickens are all fantastic details. Is it wrong that I’m rooting for the monkeys?

Other Common Names
I like these guys a lot - it's nice to see them flitting around the plumbago in my garden. I let the bush grow a bit wild, and was rewarded with a population of about half a million butterflies (or so it seemed!) during the early autumn.
The adults are practically impossible to photograph during the hottest parts of the day, if it's sunny, as they flit around maniacally almost the whole time. Even if one does land, another one disturbs it immediately.
The best time to photograph them is early in the morning, when they bask in the sun. This is particularly true for males, but less so for females.
The larvae feed on the flower heads of the plumbago, but are small and so I have difficulty photographing them at the moment, as I don't have a telephoto lens. I've found the eggs, but they're way too small for me to get any photos.
Wherever there's a plumbago bush.

Denver Police are canvassing the area of S. Stuart St. and W. Alameda Ave. looking for a suspect they say exchanged gunfire with a Denver police officer during a traffic stop.
Denver Police spokesman John White said a DPD officer pulled over a vehicle at 6:20 p.m. on the 200 block of S. Stuart Street.
When the vehicle stopped, White said, police identified two occupants in the vehicle. He said the driver then took off on foot and police started chasing him. During the chase, White said, the driver fired several rounds at the officer and the officer returned fire.
It was unclear if the suspect was injured. White confirmed no officers were hit.
Police have set up a perimeter in the area of Stuart and Alameda as they search for the suspect.

Signs of damage
- Yellowish foliage. This sign is crucial in many diseases because it signals that something is off about its health.
- Premature fall coloration. Another example is that the plant is stressed and susceptible to various diseases.
- Formation of too-small leaves. Since an affected plant loses its vigor, it doesn’t have the resources to form bigger leaves.
- Branch death. It can be noticed when the disease progresses.
- Wilting. It is also a sign of weakening.
How to prevent
We can recommend you provide the needed conditions for your plant. First, provide it with needed space; if it is a tree, Google in advance of its potential size, which will help plant it in the best spot. Secondly, planting as a process is extremely important, don’t plant it too deeply, and be careful with roots.
It would be best to detect what has caused the disease, pest, or lack of care (or too much of it sometimes). When you have done your research, you can move on to the treatment suitable for your plant. When the problems are caused by soil, you can “aerate” it using an air tool that won’t damage the roots. Pruning will also help the plant recover from the disease.

Well, not canceled, just postponed. It goes back and forth all the time, and has for years. I wouldn't be surprised if we skipped PHP6 and just released PHP7 (being facetious). -- </Daniel P.
