Tester designates National Day of the American Cowboy
Senator’s bipartisan resolution honors role of cowboys in the West
(U.S. SENATE) – Circle it on your calendar: July 28 will be National Day of the American Cowboy thanks to a bipartisan proposal by Senator Jon Tester.
Tester, the Senate’s only farmer, today backed a resolution by western Senators to designate July 28 in honor of the role that cowboys played in establishing the American West and its strong ranching traditions.
“Cowboys established Montana’s ranching heritage and helped to shape our rural way of life,” Tester said. “They are symbols of the American frontier spirit both here at home and to the rest of the world, and they deserve our recognition.”
Saturday, July 28, 2012 will be the eighth annual designation of National Day of the American Cowboy.
Senator Baucus is also a sponsor of the resolution.

Galaxy S 4 variant to soon be the world’s first LTE-Advanced phone says JK Shin
Even though Samsung is already selling millions of units of their flagship Galaxy S 4, that also hasn’t stopped the company from releasing a truckload of variants of the same device in the last couple of weeks, along with some that we’re expecting for their event on Thursday. Now an interesting note that was revealed today by the company’s CEO JK Shin, is that even the basic Galaxy S 4 is slated for a minor but significant change in the near future.
LTE-Advanced is currently being deployed in certain parts of Russia, and it offers data speeds that are almost twice as fast as the current 4G LTE speeds that many of us enjoy here in the west. According to Shin, Samsung is already hard at work at building the first smartphone to support this new network, and that device will be a variant of the Galaxy S 4. Within his statement to Reuters, he mentioned that: “As operators seek to provide more data-centric mobile services, I think this will become mainstream 4G technology globally in the coming years.”
One of the odd parts of this new Galaxy S 4 though is that it will rely on a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and not the company’s homemade Exynos. It’s still hard to predict if this will be the same Snapdragon 600 or the newer Snapdragon 800, but we might be surprised. Now for those of you that are still considering the Galaxy S 4 as your next daily driver, unless you live in Russia, there’s really no point in holding out for this future variant, as the rest of the world is still only planning the deployment of LTE-Advanced, and actually doing it can take years.
Will we be surprised by this new variant on Thursday’s event? Stay tuned.

Calcutta, July 29: Several reasons were cited today for Citu’s unparalleled decision to defer the transport strike but the most telling one was a realisation that the union no longer enjoys official patronage.
Protests such as industrial action, gherao and bandhs almost always cast themselves in an anti-establishment mould but in Bengal, they drew sustenance from an unbreakable umbilical cord with the ruling dispensation for over three decades.
Left sources said the transport sector in Bengal was beset with problems that affect workers and Citu’s reading of the pulse was correct.
But the union soon realised that it was in no position to offer any relief to the workers even if the strike had managed to cripple the sector for a day. More important, the union had no real answer to the chief minister’s threat of cancelling bus permits.
If Mamata had gone ahead with the threat — considered symbolic when she issued it but few were willing to bet on such a reading — the workers’ livelihood would have been affected.
Citu leaders were also reminded of the bitter lesson of the general strike in February when Mamata cracked the whip on government employees. Many union leaders had threatened to move court and spoken of other forms of strikeback but the employees who faced the stick were largely left to fend for themselves.
If a similar situation were to have unfolded in transport, the impact on the workers, whose grievances are far graver than that of a government employee, Citu would have been able to offer little succour with the Left out of power.
The transport sector has an increasing number of casual workers — whose job security is fragile, unlike a government employee who enjoys many rights. It would have been easier for the government to legally crack down on the transport employees than it was the case with government employees.
Added to this was bad timing. Citu miscalculated the fallout of calling the strike on the same day bus operators had lined up similar action.
Citu’s strategic reasoning was sound: avoid inconveniencing the people on an additional day. But it did not foresee the tactical blunder: Citu was seen as allying with bus operators who were demanding higher fares — an irreconcilable element for a Left organisation at the forefront of the fight against price rise.
Besides, Citu did not bother to consult unions allied to other Left parties. Their clout may not be decisive but, as a Left leader put it, “the arithmetic of quality also matters as much as the arithmetic of quantity” when it comes to mass movements.
The CPM union was not calling a strike in a specific industrial unit or segment where its individual muscle would have been sufficient. The transport sector affects most citizens and a shutdown in such a segment requires all-round support, especially when the enforcer is enfeebled.
Ranjit Guha, AITUC general secretary, said his union had opposed the strike since “Citu did not consult us”. “A large section of our trade union members are transport workers. But Citu did not bother to take us into confidence about Tuesday’s strike,” he said.
Ashok Ghosh, the general secretary of RSP’s trade union UTUC, said Citu took a “unilateral decision”.
All of which ensured that none — neither like-minded trade union leaders nor the political leadership of the Left — was comfortable with the Citu strike plan.

The Best Spaghetti with Meat Sauce Ever!
By: Toni Tucker
How to Make the Most Delicious Spaghetti with Meat Sauce Ever!
2 lbs ground beef, or turkey
2 medium white onions
4 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt if you have it, or table salt
1 small jar of crushed garlic
1/4 cup orange juice
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Jars spaghetti sauce with meat sauce base
2 tablespoons of Oregano freshly cut into small pieces, or you can use Oregano from the jar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite) optional
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup of a rich red wine (only if you want it)
1 can diced tomatoes, or you can dice 3 tomatoes yourself if you feel like the extra work
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 boxes Angel Hair spaghetti (could be wheat if you like wheat) I like angel hair and wheat, less calories too.
In a large frying pan add vegetable oil. Let oil get hot, bring fire down a little, and then add ground beef or turkey. Put in all of the meat. Break it up as you add it in the pan. Add the pepper and salt, small jar of garlic, onion, and Oregano. Let simmer and cook until meat is all brown and done. Once the meat is done, transfer to a large deep stew pot. Then add orange juice, brown sugar, can of tomato sauce, enough of the spaghetti sauce to your liking, the diced tomatoes, and your favorite barbecue sauce (optional) and last but not lest, the red wine. Again, use the wine at your discretion.
Let simmer on a low fire for about 30 minutes so that all of the ingredients can mix well. Once you taste the meat sauce and it's finally to your liking, of course share the spoon with a loved one, stir occasionally and just let it simmer on a really low fire. Your spaghetti should be boiled already.
Plate spaghetti and add enough meat sauce to your liking, then, top with grated Parmesan Cheese and grated black pepper, if you want too.
Warning, could be too good to be true, so eat up with a nice green salad if you want and some garlic cheese bread. Oh watch out now. This could be heaven on earth. Don't hurt yourself, but go for seconds if you can handle it...

Post sponsored by Lynn Sheridan A light novel adaptation isekai anime with an overpowered protagonist looking for the easy life... now where have I heard that premise before? But, as is always the case with these kinds of stories it isn't necessarily about new ideas so much as it is about execution. Looking at episode one of Slime 300, what did I think?
It happens a lot. You watch a first episode usually going in without much clue and when you get to the end of that twenty minute block you are hyped. This is it. It will be the anime of the season. You must tell everyone about it. Sometimes the first episode is a sign of things to come and other times it is going to leave you disappointed by the end, but here are the top 5 signs you just got completely charmed by an anime's first episode.
I'm no stranger to discussing the appeal of cute or kawaii characters in anime (previous posts including "Just Add Cute" and "Is Being Kawaii Enough To Make You Watch an Anime?") however today I really do just want to discuss the Winter 2020 anime Bofuri also known as "Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku … Continue reading Would Bofuri work if the protagonist wasn’t a cute female character?
Post sponsored by Ashley Capes. Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song is a new original anime that I am going into with very little idea about what to expect and I must say this first episode certainly sets up what might be an intriguing story. Here are my full thoughts on the episode...
Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you were the protagonist of an anime? I kind of did in 2016 and so this post was born. Though there's definitely a fantasy slant on this one so I might have to do a new post about your life as an anime if you were in a different genre as a follow up. Anyway, hope you enjoy. First published May 2016.
You've watched an anime that you mostly enjoyed but you know one or more of the characters have behaved in a way that has gained some criticism. Do you still tell people you enjoyed the anime or do you censor your own enjoyment in order to avoid criticism of being called 'degenerate' for enjoying the story? This is a real issue for anime fans on the internet and I'd love to know your story.
While nothing in this second season will change my opinion that season one of The Promised Neverland was an excellent, well crafted narrative that hit just the right emotional notes, there's no avoiding the fact that season 2 is pretty much everything season 1 wasn't and the end result is a less than satisfying mess. Be sure to read the full review and I'd love to know your thoughts on the series so leave me a comment. I will however warn there are spoilers for the final episode in this review which I would normally avoid but in this case I kind of feel I should spare people from having to watch this themselves so it is kind of needed.
If you haven't caught up with the 100wordanime podcast yet, here are all currently available episodes. Due to Easter travel I won't be able to record anything new until next week. Feedback always welcome.
We're back in Victorian London, a setting that anime has well and truly visited before, and once again taking on Sherlock's story though this time we're finding out about William James Moriarty. It is an interesting take on the character though I'm not entirely sure they've nailed the execution here.
While I love a good isekai anime with the vast open worlds and potential for exploration, magic and adventure, even I have to admit that more than a few anime where protagonists find themselves sent to another world just come across as lazy. Here are the top 5 isekai anime that I watched to the end that pretty much just seemed to not be putting in any effort to engage and were mostly going through the motions of following a plot line that had been made popular by more successful (and usually better written) shows.

Review of Valentino ‘Toile Iconographe‘ Fall 2022 Ad Campaign by Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli with Photographer Steven Meisel with models Alaato Jazyper, Cas Van Uytvanck, Kristen McMenamy, Sora Choi
Valentino celebrates the arrival of a new icon with its Toile Iconographe campaign by photographer Steven Meisel.
The campaign highlights the house’s toile monogram pattern, which has been a central motif in creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s recent runway collections. Meisel’s campaign images channel the energy of 70s fashion editorials while keeping things visually pared back to leave space for the bold graphical repetition of the star toile pattern. The obsessiveness with branding and iconographic repetition finds an echo in the horizontal logo that finishes off each image.

Properly managing a state costs money. Schools, roads, emergency services, infrastructure improvements, parks and state employees all require a sizable amount of funding. Most states levy taxes on property, income, and sales of consumer goods. Often states hit consumers with higher than average taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and in some cases, gas. There are, however, seven states that don’t tax income, and Tennessee is looking to join the party. While this may seem like great news, the real question arises—without any personal income tax, where will Tennessee seek revenue? Sales taxes? Property taxes? Franchise or excise taxes?
Eliminating Tennessee’s Income Tax
While Tennessee doesn’t tax income in the literal sense, the state does have what is called the Hall Tax. With the Hall Tax, Tennessee taxes income derived from interest and dividends. Basically if you have earnings from your investments, the state taxes them. Tennessee, however, is proceeding full steam ahead in repealing this tax on investments.
In 2015, Tennessee generated over $300 million from it’s Hall Tax. Of this, about a third went directly into the coffers of cities and counties, with the majority flowing directly into the state’s $24 billion budget. When Tennessee’s governor signed the law to repeal the Hall Tax, he immediately dropped the tax from 6% to 5%, with designs to reduce it by 1% annually until it would be fully phased out at the beginning of 2021. When this happens, Tennessee will join seven other states (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming) that do not tax individual income.
Tennesseans are split on the Hall Tax repeal. Some argue that it will cut much needed revenue for state programs, while others point out that Hall Tax collections accounted for less than 2% of Tennessee’s budget. One need only look to other states with zero income tax to see what happens when income taxes disappear.
Tennessee Already Has High Sales Taxes
“No income tax” states have to get their money from somewhere. Nevada taxes gambling. Alaska hits oil and gas revenues. Florida and Texas levy hefty taxes on property. Washington has one of the highest taxes on gas. So how about Tennessee?
Tennessee has the highest sales tax in the US, bordering on 9.5% in some areas. The point is, a state may not tax income on the front end, but they will tax income on the back end with regards to consumption.
Tennessee’s Hall Tax Repeal Could Result in Higher Property Taxes h2
As the Hall Tax has decreased in the last few yeas, some cities have responded by raising property taxes to recoup revenue for municipal services. In 2017, Lookout Mountain’s revenue dropped to $477,145, down almost $100k from the year before. To combat the loss of revenue, the town raised the property tax rate from $1.83 to $1.89 per $100 of assessed value. Or consider Signal Mountain. In

Three suspects stole an AK-47 from an individual in the North Waco area shortly after noon Wednesday, according to Waco Police.
Patrol officers arrested the three suspects, who Waco Police said were identified as Chris Morales, 18, Skyler Durham, 17, and Miguel Moreno, 18.
Waco Police Sergeant Patrick Swanton said the victim was at a friend's home in the 1600 block of North 15th Street, where he planned to meet the suspects who said they wanted to purchase a firearm.
"When the victim showed the three the weapon, the suspects stole the gun, a magazine, a gun case, and ammunition," Swanton said.
The suspects ran away, but responding officers found them at 928 Reynolds Street in Waco.
"During their follow-up investigation, they detained all three suspects and eventually recovered the rifle and the other items," Swanton said.
All three suspects were charged with engaging in organized crime. The Waco Police investigation was still underway, as of early Wednesday evening.

The Star Wars prequels are regarded by many as failures that tarnished the reputation of the world renowned Star Wars franchise (although the prequels did lead to many a hilarious meme). Despite the films getting pretty much panned everywhere, a significant amount of fans feel that Hayden Christensen- the lead actor who played the role of Anakin Skywalker in the Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith– got a lot of undeserved hate following the films releases. One fan showed their respect for the actor in his role of Anakin/Darth Vader by creating this incredible fanart which imagines what Christensen could look like if he ever did reprise his role as an old Anakin.
The artwork- by Instagram artist Phase_Runner- shows an elderly Anakin in his scarred and burnt form following his fight with Obi Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. He is being cradled by the ghostly figure of Natalie Portman’s Padme Amidala- Anakin’s true love whose death he could never forgive himself for. The image is haunting and yet starkly beautiful at the same time, capturing the regret of a deformed and broken old man who gave into the dark side. Phase_Runner also gives the prequel actors some kudos by including them.
Christensen’s acting in the prequels is renowned for not being great -though personally I thought there was a big improvement in his Revenge of the Sith performance compared to that of Attack of the Clones. Though he never reached incredible heights after his role in Star Wars, he did prove that he was capable of much better acting (see Life as a House as an example). Bad acting can usually be boiled down to a combination of equally bad directing and writing. Considering this – plus the fact that Christensen was only 19 when he suddenly had the weight of the one of the world’s biggest film franchises put on his shoulders – it is easy to see how Christensen may not have been able to give a great performance. After all these years, fans are finally giving Christensen some credit for his role and with the Obi Wan Kenobi television series starring Ewan McGregor- who played Kenobi in the prequels- becoming a reality on Disney Plus, the prequels seem to be becoming more accepted by Star Wars fans. This fanart is a great example of this forgiving nature.

During tours, we do our best to cover setlists in real-time on Twitter. If you want to tweet a show in, just DM or @ us on the day and tell us to watch your stream that night.
Tori will be touring in 2014 to support the release of Unrepentant Geraldines. The European legs runs from May through June and the North American legs spans July and August. We do not know if additional dates elsewhere will be added.
We’re behind on site updates (obvs!) but here are a couple time-sensitive news items (and bear with us, we should get caught up with everything else later today).
First, SPIN is giving away five pairs of tickets to Tuesday evening’s in-store at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. To get in on that contest, you’ll need to follow them on Twitter and retweet this tweet. Winners will be selected later today, so be quick!
Fortunately, if you don’t win passes — or aren’t lining up tomorrow morning to pre-order the album in person to get a wristband — you can still see the performance as SPIN will be live-streaming the event on SPIN.com starting from 7pm on Tuesday evening.
Second, Tori will be on Soundcheck on WNYC this afternoon. Listen live on the web at 2pm. The performance will be broadcast during the program which airs at 9pm on WNYC 93.9 FM and online at wnyc.org.
Update: The live session is running behind but should be starting soon.
Update: The stream is under way at 2:15 pm Eastern!
Update: Both of these interviews are available online to listen to. The BBC Radio Stoke one is on iPlayer and starts around the 30 minute mark. Meanwhile, an extended version of the Minster FM interview is available for streaming and download from the Listen Again page.
Just a quick update to let everyone know that two pre-recorded radio spots will be broadcast today. First, at 1:30 PM BST (about 10 minutes from when this is being written!), James Watt will air his chat with Tori on BBC Radio Stoke. Second, her conversation with Alex Brown will be aired on Minster FM at 2:30 PM BST (about a hour and 10 minute hence). Both stations stream online and BBC Stoke, at least, archives their programs you should be able to catch them after the fact as well.
The kind people at C à vous have shared footage of Tori performing “Trouble’s Lament” on the program yesterday evening. It’s been posted at Dailymotion and “Youtube”;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH69XxWwHuo. Fortunately, the latter can be viewed by all — enjoy!
Another week brings another teaser clip — the fourth — from what we presume to the be the interview included with the Unrepentant Geraldines bonus DVD. In this very brief snippet, Tori addresses her need to experiment on the new record and her hope for how the songs on it will be heard.
The broadcast date has not been announced but the show airs on Saturday evenings from 11:00 pm. Fortunately, the program is archived so once we know the air date, anyone who misses it should be able to give it a listen afterwards.
Thanks again to Marie for the tip!
As one can tell from the picture Tori posted yesterday on Instagram, etc., she’s in Paris promoting the album. She swung by the studios of France Inter today for a solo piano performance of “Trouble’s Lament” and a wee interview on On va tour y passer with André Manoukian.
Update: Or just listen to it here:
Also, as Clément and Tori Amos France informed us, Tori will be on C à vous on France 5 tonight! That television program starts at 1900h.
Update: Video of the appearance on C à vous should be available on Wednesday, courtesy of the program.
Merci beaucoup to Clément and Marie for the help!
From the where’s-Tori-today department, it’s an assortment of behind-the scenes photos taken at The Diner in Islington, London where a video for “Trouble’s Lament” was being filmed today.
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
Only one radio appearance was broadcast today — after the past few days, that almost feels like we’re being gypped! But seriously, BBC Radio Ulster’s Gerry Kelly’s chat with Tori about her relationship with Ireland, her family history, and the upcoming tour.
You can listen to it on Radio Ulster’s website for the next week — Tori comes on around the 16 minute 40 second mark. We’ve also added their chat to Soundcloud if that’s more your speed.
If you’re not already, keep an eye on the Tori Amos Instagram (as well as the other social media channels) as there’s been a steady stream of photos from Berlin, London and, we expect, where ever the promotion and tour for Unrepentant Geraldines takes her.
Today’s offerings did not disappoint — one gives us a behind-the-scenes look on a photo and television shoot in London earlier today while the other is, as you may have guessed from our puntastic article title, a selfie with Tash!
P.S. Please don’t hate us for saying “selfie.”
Several more radio spots promoting the new record have taken place since we last posted.
First, she called into Chris and Emma at Breakfast on Gaydio on Wednesday, April 15th. We’re earlier risers but was still a little too early in the morning for us in the States so we missed it but the appearance should be included in their podcast next week.
Second, there was a spot on The Tony Fenton Show on TodayFM, also on Wednesday, the 15th. Their rather relaxed conversation, in which she indicated there could be a Piano Bar component to the upcoming tour, is available for streaming up on the radio station’s website:
Third, a pre-recorded conversation with The Breeze’s Damien St. John was sprinkled throughout his program on Wednesday evening. In addition to explaining the title of the record and talking about the upcoming tour, she also commiserated with Damien about sexist yoga mats. Go figger! Fortunately, the full clip has been posted on their website:
Fourth, Celebrity Radio’s Alex Belfield posted an interview with Tori that took place earlier this week. Oddly, he asks no questions about the new record but there is a fair amount of interesting discussion about other topics ranging from songwriting to her relationship with the piano to her relationship with her audience. It’s a bit of a strange chat in light of the promotional push for the new record but perhaps more interesting for it.
Updating a previous interview, Fubar Radio uploaded a couple clips from the interview to Soundcloud:
Finally, here’s a recap of the upcoming radio spots we know about. If you know of any others, please let us know!

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this tutorial is to guide you through the steps required to create your own Marks Of Excellence mod using Paint.NET which is a brilliant freeware tool but you could also use Photoshop if you have the .dds plugin. It was originally written and designed for the QSF community but has since been removed from their forums so tweaking it and uploading a new version here. Regardless of your feelings towards the QSF community it's a tutorial that took me a while to put together so no flaming on the tutorial pack content. It's only to give you a hand to make your own. I may update the tutorial pack if I find time to/get bored. CLARIFICATION NOTE: These icons will replace the existing MoE on your tank, NOT 'give you the marks'. You still have to 'earn' them as normal Tools Required: Paint.NET [Download] My pre-made template pack from [here] A creative brain (I know this rules half of you lot out!) STEP 1 This is the most important stage as it's the planning stage. Have a think about what you want to do and source all of the images that you wish to use. I'd also recommend reading all the way through this tutorial to help inspire your creativity. Next thing to do is assess the tutorial pack. Open a Paint.NET window and open the Tutorial Pack, navigate through the folders until you get to three files: gun_china_1.dds gun_china_2.dds gun_china_3.dds There are many ways of doing the next section but for ease in this tutorial drag and drop the gun_china3.dds file into the Paint.NET window that you have open, it should look something like this: STEP 2 Next (again for ease) we need to add a layer; to do this click the 'add layer' button at the bottom of the layer window (if you don't have a layer window open by default press F7). Now your layer window should look like this - This is for 'backup' so that we don't overwrite the original image just yet: drag and drop your new image (or images) into Paint.NET and select the option for OPEN rather than new layer, this is because your file may need conditioning first. If it's a PNG file with an invisible background then skip ahead a step, otherwise follow step 3. STEP 3 For this step I will use another image to show you how to condition files. Open the window (click on the picture up the top of Paint.NET window) to select the image. Thankfully I have sourced an image with a nice plain background, we need to remove this background. Click on the Magic Wand on the tool panel and click on the background, you will see that the background has been completely selected, press the delete key to remove it. If you can't find or see the tool panel then press F5. Your image should now look something more like this: TOOLS GUIDE (click images for larger version) STEP 4 Select your image (ctrl+a) and copy it (ctrl+c) then go back to the first screen you were on (with the three old QSF logos), now select a blank layer (layer 2 should exist as you made it in step 1) - [if you skipped step 2 then drag your image onto the window and select new layer]. It may require re-sizing, to do this (keeping the aspect ratio), hold shift and drag one of the corners to res-size. The image ideally wants to be about the same size as the QSF logo. Now create another two layers, select layer 2 again and copy the layer (ctrl+a then ctrl+c) and paste on the two layers you have created. If you need to see easier then there is a zoom level bar in the bottom right corner with + and - symbols. Select Layer 3 and click the move tool, move the layer so that it is inline with the first of the new images you placed but also covering the center QSF logo, repeat for layer 4 and the third logo. Now select the Background layer and the eraser tool, up the top is now an option for the Brush Width, change this to something large like 60pt. Hold the left mouse button and erase the QSF logos, the other layers should remain untouched. If you rub them out then you have the wrong layer selected! - Just undo and select the background layer properly. If you choose to make icons smaller/larger then make them no bigger than 80x65 or else the symbols will overlap the barrel (fine if you're doing stripes or something) STEP 5 Hopefully you are happy with your results and now have three 'symbols' to replace the marks of excellence, now we need to save the changes. As there are three symbols, you guessed it, this is nationName_3. Click FILE>SAVE AS, then select DirectDraw Surface (DDS) (*.dds) as the 'Save As Type' and call this gun_china_3 to replace the existing one (or save in another location). A warning will come up about flattening the image, click ok and it's done!! NOTE: As of 9.14 you will need to configure .dds file as DXTY5 and generate MipMaps Next get the eraser tool and change the brush width (top bar) to something suitable like 60. Erase the picture furthest on the right then save as a DDS file again but this time call it gun_china_2. Repeat again until you have one image left and you guessed it again, save as dds called gun_china_1. STEP 6 Now comes the long and arduous part. At time of writing there are 8 tech trees now 9 tech trees in the game, which are as follows: china czech france_uk germany japan sweden usa ussr Noticed that there are only 8 lines? That's because France and UK share the marks... [example: gun_france_uk_3.dds] These are CASE SENSITIVE. You have already created china_1 through to china_3 and you guessed it... you have to copy the files you have created and replace china with the nation/tech tree name. For those thinking 'what if I only want x symbol for x nation and a different one for y nation?' - well I salute you for thinking outside of the box. All you have to do is run through the whole lot again but save as what nation you wish to use it for. All identical nation tanks in game will have the symbol you define, it won't affect just your tank. You can set different symbols for all of the nations in game. FOLDER STRUCTURE You will need to create a folder structure to place the files into, the structure is as follows: gui>maps>vehicles>decals>insignia or just overwrite the one in the template pack. To install, this gui folder resides in res_mods/x.x.x/ (x.x.x being your client version number, e.g. 0.9.1) IDEAS AND HINTS Bear in mind that the images do not have to be the same and have some fun with it, here are some ideas that I had (and may still do if I get bored). Marks in order (first, second, third) That shows progressive skill (medium tank, heavy tank, helicopter for elite). Look up guides if you are unsure on how to use Paint.NET as you can do all sorts of things such as colour replacement but I (personally) would keep things simple with singular colours where possible i.e. change the colour of the ideas above to be white for visibility. You can also apply a similar idea so that the image changes depending on how many marks the player has... i.e make both images on _2 files the tank and all three on the _3 files the helicopter etc. Another idea came to me from ADVANCED For those feeling brave and wanting to make 'weathered' marks like the default ones you will need a more advanced picture editing package such as Photoshop that supports custom brushes/erasers. Download a grunge type brush Set as eraser and set opacity and flow to around 70% and 50% respectively Adjust size of brush as required and click to 'fade' certain parts of the image I won't go into too much detail on the above as this was designed to be a 'free' and easy to do mod, those who have Photoshop will most likely know how to do this kind of thing anyway. COMMUNITY CREATED CONTENT NOTE: Since 9.14 some of these may no longer work as they require 're-saving' as DXTY5 with generated MipMaps Here I will place some of the work that YOU the community have done using this tutorial. If you wish for your work to be shown then let me know and I will add it here. I'm happy to host your files too so drop them to me in a PM or whatever To install these place the gui folder in res_mods/x.x.x/ (x.x.x being your client version number, e.g. 0.9.1). Delete any country that you wish to keep as standard etc. 'Unicorn Dickbutt' - by _Goliard Download Link Picture: Spoiler 'Larry The Lobster - LAVA Mascot' by It's_Matra LAVA Expert: Download Link (Only those with 3 marks see lobsters) LAVA Normal: Download Link (all MoEs are Larry) Pictures Spoiler (click to enlarge) shot_183.jpg shot_184.jpg
SUMMER 2015 UPDATE: I am now streaming. Find me on http://www.twitch.tv/mholding most days of the week :3 I thought I would create a specific thread for my YouTube channel in order to shamelessly promote show how to play certain tanks. I try to upload videos 2-3 times a week, but it depends on what games I have myself as I dont want to just upload videos for the sake of uploading them. I mainly play mediums and light tanks so that is what you will see me play. Throughout the videos I try to explain my thought process the best I can. Feedback on both gameplay and videos are more than welcome. Before you mention it, I have just bought a new microphone/headset that should allow me to improve the clarity and quality of the commentary audio. Here are some of my own personal favourites of the newer videos that I think highlight what my channel is about. If you like it go check my youtube channel out for more World of Tanks videos: World of tanks funtage - a video I made back when I was in QSF-E. Just made it for shits and giggles and it is inspired by the RNG-videos. Artillery rant - me ranting about why artillery is stupid. I get shot down from full health to no health in 2 seconds by three different artillery pieces who aren't even platooned. gg. Beating the odds twice - How to carry a 22%-team in an FCM 50t and how to carry a similarly bad team in a Tiger II (on the same map even). My first pools medal that happen to coincide with a Kolobanovs and Fadins medal and a stupidly high amount of RNG-luck in the end. Fadins medal in BatChat 25t - I get a fadins medal and where I use the mobility of the BatChat to have a good game Link to my youtube-channel (a lot of other videos though): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCky3AnLXGSQcr8p6wvV10PA Link to my World of tanks playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGcpk7WlCgnhvj3_kNC42BPRvlnhacF7c
// IMPORTANT NEWS // IMPORTANT NEWS // IMPORTANT NEWS // IMPORTANT NEWS // My activity level during this summer has been incredibly poor - as some of you may have noticed already. The reason for my low activity is a mix between university work (master thesis), spending a lot of time with my GF (who lives in France, so lots of travelling is required) and training for the completion of an ironman next summer. This has left the clan without an active commander for TEN full weeks this summer, which is simply not good enough. First Nurkus and then Gary had to carry a lot of weight on their shoulders while I was off doing other stuff. I am forever grateful for their work and this clan would’ve been long dead if it hadn’t been for them. Unfortunately, my future does not look any better. I will still be busy with the aforementioned things. This is shit if you are the commander of a clan. I believe that a commander should be present as much as possible and be able to play and participate in most activities. I cannot offer this as a commander for this clan. Two weeks ago I was approached by FAME as they were looking for new field commanders and my name had been put forward a few times. I was offered the role as a normal field commander and therefore I will have less work to do. This is good for me because of my quite inconsistent activity levels. They know of my inconsistency and they don’t mind, which is good for me. I have decided to take their offer. This decision has not come easy. It really hasn’t. I had less trouble deciding to move to another country than I had with my decision as to whether I should join FAME or not. So much for “it is just pixel tanks” I suppose. I have spoken with Ronery, Matra, Gary and Koel and we have decided that it is best if we disband LAVA. RoneryKim has troubles with his arm (keeping him away from WoT entirely), Koel is busy being 1337_ESL_admin, Matra is limited in play time by work and family which leaves Gary alone to keep the ship running. This is not optimal as that is too much work for just one person. Therefore we have decided that we will be disbanding the clan. The clan will be disbanded at mid-day (Viking time) on Sunday the 23rd of August. We will be using all of our credit consumables and other bonus’ during the week, in order to pay as much back to you guys as possible. We will not be playing our defence-battles, but just let them pillage our SH. We will on top of that also pay out the gold to everyone (who wants it) who has collected more boxes than me. This means Gary, Xmen, Gasgadur, Jokobet, Devilhead, gan, breeze, moomeister and dolfie will receive 440 gold each. If you don’t want the gold then I will spread it out to the others. I want to thank all of you for joining us in this adventure. It has been a joy to play alongside you, it really has. I wish you all the best of luck in the future and I hope you will all fare well on the battlefields. I really enjoyed this adventure – I really did.

Ford Adds Minnesota Transfer Emily Leavitt to Roster
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M head softball coach Trisha Ford announced the addition of Big Ten All-Freshman Team selection Emily Leavitt to the Aggies’ roster Tuesday. Leavitt comes to A&M after spending the 2022 campaign at Minnesota.
“I am excited about the tools that Emily will bring to the circle,” Ford said. “She gained a lot of valuable experience her freshman year and will compliment our staff very nicely.”
A right-handed hurler, Leavitt made 45 appearances while making 30 starts for the Golden Gophers. Leavitt posted a 15-11 overall record, including a 7-3 mark in conference play, and a 4.70 ERA. She tossed a pair of shutouts in eight complete games, including a three-hit shutout against No. 6 Northwestern, earning herself the distinction of D1Softball National Pitcher of the Week.
The Chino, California, native led the Gophers with 169.2 innings of work with a season-best 8.0 innings in a complete-game victory against Cal. Leavitt averaged 5.6 strikeouts per seven innings pitched, finishing with 135 on the season.

Newt pitches Asian appeal in Calif.
Newt Gingrich has determined that the Asian vote will help win him the Republican primaries, so he headed to California to lock it up.
He’ll host a series of meetings with Thai, Korean and Chinese community leaders in the Los Angeles area on Thursday, put together with the help of Michelle Steel, a Korean-American who’s vice chair of the California State Board of Equalization.
Gingrich is also planning to do a roundtable with Vietnamese leaders in northern Virginia at the end of the month.
“We are still new with the Asian-American community, so we’re just starting to break in,” said Michelle Selesky, Gingrich’s deputy press secretary, who is heading up his Asian-American outreach.
The campaign says Gingrich has been inspired by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s success in reaching out to the Hmong, Koreans and other ethnic groups.
And he’s got early state success on his mind: Gingrich has been talking for months about the untapped potential of the Chinese community in Iowa, thanks to a local Chinese activist who told him in January that as many as 10,000 Chinese Americans live in the state — a number the Census Bureau pegs at 1.7 percent of the Hawkeye State population. Gingrich also sees what could be the state’s next immigrant boom in the University of Iowa’s large number of international students from China, though it’s not clear how many of them are citizens and able to vote.
Gingrich has been trailing in the polls, unable to break out of the single digits for months as he’s pursued several unorthodox approaches to a presidential campaign. This new appeal to Asian voters arrives in the middle of a West Coast campaign swing that will take him to Hollywood and the Richard Nixon Presidential Library for screenings of his documentaries, then to Hawaii.
But it’s also part of the campaign’s larger effort to broaden its appeal to new demographics.
“Newt made it part of his campaign to expand the base of the party into new communities,” said Gingrich campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond.
He’s also got his eyes on Hispanics — including in Iowa, where they make up 5 percent of the state, according to the Census Bureau. In a few weeks, the campaign will be launching a Spanish-language version of his campaign website, Newt.org, and rolling out his immigration platform.
“He’s taking the values of entrepreneurship, freedom, family and protecting our country, and saying, ‘Hey, this is what I stand for. Help us do this. Help us lead the country,’” said Hammond, who noted Gingrich is taking this pitch for expanding the GOP around the country.
Sylvia Garcia, who joined the campaign this month as Gingrich’s national Hispanic inclusion director, said that too often candidates wait until the general election to reach out to minority communities. So she’s been working to get Latino activists on the phone with Gingrich and to his campaign events.
“He wants to make sure Hispanic media are there, Hispanic leaders are there, the Hispanic community is there,” she said. “He says, ‘Sylvia, who do we have? Make sure we have everyone covered.’”
Since his days as House speaker, Gingrich has long cultivated friendships in the Hispanic community. He learned to speak Spanish and launched a bilingual conservative news website, The Americano. The campaign will soon have three Florida-based staffers working on Hispanic issues, and Gingrich is planning trips to Orlando, Tampa and Miami in September that will include Hispanic appeals, Garcia said.
Earlier this week, Lionel Sosa, who has consulted for seven Republican presidential campaigns on Hispanic issues, endorsed Gingrich and wrote, “10 Reasons Why Latinos Should Support Newt Gingrich for President,” stressing that Gingrich will create jobs and help Latinos live the American Dream.
“We don’t believe in handouts, just an equal opportunity to prove ourselves,” he wrote. “We believe in patriotism and putting country before self. These values are Newt’s values and the ties that bind us.”

You were spotted secretly and publicly at different places with Genevieve Nnaji and we heard you both are in some kind of relationship. Genny decided she'd had enough and ended things in late 2011. I think my life is already chaotic as it is being one celebrity. Jan 06, 2013 · The relationship between D'banj and Genevieve Nnaji may have been perceived as a publicity stunt. Genevieve Nnaji Confirms She Is Dating D'banj by treylaw: 10:14am On Dec 23, 2010 Genevieve Nnaji kinda confirms she's dating D'Banj on the Tejubaby Face show What do you like in man, and I mean that in terms of his physique, Tejubaby Face asked the beautiful actress on his show that aired last night. Genevieve Nnaji surely has enjoyed a robust acting career devoid of controversy.Next
This blog claims no credit for any images posted unless where otherwise stated. She is the biggest and was even profiled on the Oprah Winfrey Show. However, like every true romantic tale, Dbanj still searches for the love of his life. Read: You were spotted secretly and publicly at different places with Genevieve Nnaji and we heard you both are in some kind of relationship. Genevieve and D'banj briefly reconciled in early 2012, but ended things for good after D'banj started flaunting his relationship with actress, Nadia Buari. The music superstar was a guest on Tim.Next
Reports has it that they dated for two years. Were you really telling her your feelings? Please also note that some people may use pseudo names or generic emails, to which New African Press may not be able to verify. But the reality is that the pair actually dated on and off between 2009 and early 2012. D Banj and Genevieve are reportedly having an affair. It all started in 2010 when the two of them became inseparable. Read: You were spotted secretly and publicly at different places with Genevieve Nnaji and we heard you both are in some kind of relationship. That way, the actress has been able to stay away from controversy while living her life in secrecy.Next
Like I said, Genevieve is the biggest African star that I know and I am in the public eye, so it is to be expected. If there is an image appearing on this blog that belongs to you and you do not wish for it to appear on this site, please E-mail with a link to the image and it will be promptly removed. There were just too many women around D'banj. So business-wise, she represented everything we were looking for to make the video. I want to be able to take her out, walk into anywhere with her and not have to hide. So is this a marriage-headed relationship? But the source said there was no intimacy in what we all saw that night, other than having fun.Next
However, According to Encomium Weekly, inside sources have confirmed to them that there is no intimate relationship between Nigeria's top entertainer D'Banj and A-list Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji. Their love story ended shortly after only for it to be reignited again in 2014. Is there anything happening that we do not know? She's my baby, she's my everything and I love her. You were spotted secretly and publicly at different places with Genevieve Nnaji and we heard you both are in some kind of relationship. Like the extremely talented artist that he is, his songs have been able to completely transform his financial destiny for good. The story began with the rumour that the Fall in love crooner was dating Nollywood superstar Genevieve Nnaji and gossip tabloids had fed on it like flame. Dapo Oyebanjo, the one we know as D'Banj, and now Eja Nla, has cleared the air on his purported dalliance with Nollywood top actress, Genevieve Nanji, making it clear that he never had anything to do with her.Next
But one cannot certainly testify whether the respected actress has also enjoyed a flouring relationship with the opposite sex or not. In an interview recently after turning 34 years old, D'Banj said that though he is seriously thinking of settling down, it is definitely not with Genevieve. Adama Indimi is the daughter of the billionaire Alhaji Mohammed Indimi who is the brother-in-law of former Nigerian Head of State Rtd. Genny said she doesn't care what a man looks like, all that matters to her is his heart. We can however authoritatively tell you that all that was a lie. He has also been linked with a South African beauty. After D'banj opened up about the issue a couple of days ago, the datils of their history has now emerged as to what actually transpired.Next
There have been so many rumours about so many things. The Koko Master who was rumoured to be in love and was set to marry Genny, said he too was shocked at the rumour and that he did not even have a crush of her not to talk of dating her. Images on this blog are copyright to its respectful owners. She does not belong to the class of celebrities who find their way into the entertainment news way too often. Last year, it was rumoured that she lost her only chance of getting married because her secret lover had called off their wedding which was billed to hold in Milan, Italy. This was confirmed by the music super star in a recent interview with Stella. His aged parents were not spared too as reporters forced them to grant interviews stating they do not know of any such relationship between Genevieve and their son.Next
It was so much that at some point both Dbanj and Genevieve were rumoured to have left the country to avoid the rather embarrassing confrontations. The sexy stars dated off and on between 2009 and early 2012. Though she steps out once in a while, and each time she does so, her personal life is fairly elusive. D Banj and Genevieve are reportedly having an affair. When the news of this relationship hits the streets, we are sure you both know what will happen next.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) will invest an additional $195.5 million over the next five years in NSF’s National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. This investment maintains the National MagLab as a world-class facility, providing researchers and scientists with access to a range of powerful instruments and magnets including the world’s most powerful MRI machine and the world’s most powerful superconducting magnet. The NSF’s MagLab is a partnership among NSF, Florida State University, the University of Florida, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the state of Florida.
The High B/T (magnetic field / temperature) Facility located at the University of Florida is operated as part of the UF Physics’ Microkelvin Laboratory. Directed by Professor Mark Meisel, the Mag Lab meets the needs of users who wish to conduct experiments in high magnetic fields (up to 16.5 tesla) and at very low temperatures (down to 0.5 mK) simultaneously. The funding provided to the Mag Lab is a testament to the importance of the work being done at the facility, and will help to ensure that it remains a leader in the field of high-magnetic-field science and engineering.


The 75th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards have officially been pushed back to January 2024 from the originally planned September 18th, 2023 date. The four month delay is due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. You can read the list of nominees for this year here.
This move now places the event squarely at the beginning of the Hollywood awards season.
The new airdate of January 15th means the Emmys, which honor the best shows, will air weeks before the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which honors film and television actors. It also means the show will air one day after the Critics Choice Awards on January 14th. The Creative Arts Emmys will be held on January 6th and 7th, with an edited version of the ceremony airing on Fox January 13th. Other award shows like the Golden Globes haven’t been confirmed yet.
These delays are due to strike regulations that prevent actors and writers from campaigning/doing promotion for struck studios and projects. While there currently seems to be no end to either strike in sight, it seems the industry is hoping things will be resolved by early next year, or we’ll see another round of delays.
The Emmy’s choice of date could also be a throwback to the first-ever awards ceremony held in January 1949. The show eventually moved to a September timeslot since that was considered the beginning of the fall television season. But these calls were made back when broadcast television was the only game in town. With the rise of cable and streaming, holding awards like this by season seems a bit silly now.
While no host for the Emmys has been announced, the award nominees are confirmed. HBO is leading the pack with 127 nominations. 74 of these are for the series “The Last of Us,” “Succession,” and “The White Lotus.”
The 75th Emmy Awards will take place January 15th at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. We’ll keep you posted on updates as they develop.


cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.
SPFPM (Simple Python Fixed-Point Module) is a Python module which provides basic facilities for manipulating (binary) fixed-point numbers. The number of fractional binary digits is tunable, allowing near-arbitrary precision arithmetic. Arithmetic and mathematical functions such as sqrt, exp, log, sin, and cos are available.
pmcyg is a tool for creating customized collections of Cygwin packages together with the Cygwin installer. This enables self-contained distributions to be created without having to mirror the entire set of Cygwin packages. For example, it can create a single CD-ROM or DVD from which a personalized version of Cygwin can be installed on machines not connected to the Web. A basic installer can be created in less than 25MB; a full set of Cygwin packages might fill a DVD-ROM; or a selection of packages can be constructed to suit your chosen installation medium. pmcyg will then download these and all their dependencies automatically. pmcyg can be used either as a command-line script or via a simple graphical interface.

A lovely seaside town with several beaches and lots of gift/ tourist/surf shops. It's about 30 mins from Westward Ho and you have to cross the border into North Cornwall to get there. If you have a cream tea the jam and cream are traditionally the otherway around to Devon!😍😊
Bude, a consistent winner of the ‘Best UK Seaside Town’ in the British Travel Awards with its famous cricket ground, sea pool and challenging golf course, is a vibrant and bustling town with many great beaches, cafés, restaurants, bars and shops.

The resort town of Bude is situated in the top right corner of Cornwall, right next to the Devon border. It is quite a remote spot and sits on its own stretch of wild and rugged coast backed by miles and miles of countryside. For this reason it is largely self-contained, yet has not become too big,…

- A big part of a successful grant is understanding the funding agency. What are their mission and goals? What are the priorities of the organization? What have they funded in the past? How do they evaluate funding requests? It is in your best interest to know as much about the potential funding agency as possible. This knowledge can be gathered through research and active involvement with the agency providing the funding. One of the first places to start is the organization's website. Learn about the mission of the organization, what they value, and what goals they are trying to achieve with their funding.
Each government agency, foundation, or corporation provides money to further their goals and cause. You need to understand that cause and those goals and make sure your project is aligned with the goals and mission of the funding agency. If it's a government grant you're seeking, one of the things you may wanna consider before submitting is to become a peer reviewer. Peer reviewers score and comment upon applications using a scoring system. In this position, you'll be briefed on what reviewers are to look for in a successful application.
You'll be able to observe the types of grant proposals that are funded and the types that are not. And you'll be able to listen to the input and critique of fellow reviewers to learn what they value and find important. Reviewers can learn about common problems with proposals, discover strategies to write strong proposals, and through serving on a panel, meet colleagues and program officers managing programs related to your grant interests. For example, some government agencies, have a peer review program and continually recruit academics to serve as peer reviewers.
This is a good opportunity. Don't overlook it. Also when looking up potential funding opportunities, don't be afraid to visit the foundation, program officer, or manager to learn more about the types of projects they typically fund and even to run a potential idea past the program officer. Often, they can provide guidance, ideas, and input that will help steer you in the right direction. The trip to visit with a program officer to learn about an opportunity is time well spent.
They know what has been funded in the past, how competitive the upcoming funding cycle is likely to be, and whether or not your idea is feasible. It is important to understand what the foundation or government agency has funded in the past when you prepare to submit your proposal. To find out this information, you need to do some investigative work, but fortunately it's not that hard. Many agencies provide databases of past projects. For example, the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Educational Sciences, allows a person to search for past grants to see what was funded, who received the funding, and how much was awarded.
Other agencies and their foundations list their past awards as well. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation allows you to search awards to see what was funded and for how much. And the Carnegie Corporation as a foundation allows you to search grants as far back as 1982. Another great source of information about past projects is to talk directly with former principle investigators. Talk with people who have received funding and who are working with the funding organization. Often, they will have information about the workings of the organization, the things the organization liked or didn't like about their grant proposal and other information that is not typically available to someone who has not received an award.
It may even be possible to be able to view their winning proposal and see how it was written and what approach was successful. Learning as much about the funding organization as possible will better position you to write a grant that meets both your goals and the goals of the funding agency, so do your homework and learn about the agency and better position yourself for success.

- Locating collaborators
- Understanding an RFP

---- — PEABODY — It won’t exactly be Christmas in July, but city employees who are not part of any union may be getting a 2 percent pay increase starting July 1.
That’s the recommendation from Mayor Ted Bettencourt, and it goes before the City Council in the form of two ordinances on Thursday.
The increase is “consistent with other recently settled collective bargaining agreements,” the mayor said in his letter to the council. It involves a 2 percent increase this year, 2 percent next year and another 2 percent in 2014. It applies to positions “not subject to collective bargaining.”
“I think that’s what most of the unions have been getting,” commented at-large City Councilor Jim Liacos. “Some of these people were probably due an upgrade. Some of these positions were stagnant.”
The increase is one Liacos characterized as “very modest.”
It impacts roughly 80 people, including both full- and part-time workers. The salaries vary, with the low number assigned to several of the secretaries serving city boards, including the planning and appeals boards. They are slated to earn $38,392 starting in July.
Meanwhile, department heads, including the directors of community development, finance and administration, public services and the city solicitor are expected to earn $104,166 each beginning July 1.
A second ordinance would, starting in July, raise the salary for the chief of police to $102,163, deputies to $84,405 and the fire chief to $104,166. These would rise by 2 percent in each of the two years to follow.
“I’d like to hear what the mayor has to say before I comment,” said at-large councilor Dave Gravel.
Other councilors were reluctant comment for the same reason.

So, today I just entered the last year of my 5th decade, the last year of the first half of the first century of my life. Well, the last century too, I suppose. But that’s the problem, isn’t it? Next year, I turn 50 and still, unfortunately, and to my bafflement, am not immortal.
It is a question my husband and I like asking people, “Mortal or Immortal?” What camp do you fall into? Surprisingly, many people actually fall into the Mortality Camp. Not me, not in a million years. See, I’ve got this thing about dying. Well, it’s more of a thing about missing out on the potentiality of humans and the future, but “dying” works. That’s easy to name, but what really is this fear? Is it the fear of death itself, or are we looking at one of my Terror Management strategies?
“Terror What”, you say? I am referring to TMT, or Terror Management Theory, which, despite the name, still isn’t really about the fear of dying and death, but rather, the annihilation of meaning. Rising out of the work of Ernest Becker (whose primary book is The Denial of Death, https://ernestbecker.org), Terror Management Theory was named, described, and researched by the social psychologists Tom Pyszczynski, Sheldon Solomon, and Jeff Greenberg. Essentially, everything we humans do is geared towards obscuring the knowledge of our own demise.
While living organisms are imbued biologically with a survival instinct, humans are (apparently) the only species who can actually understand what their own end means. Unlike various other species, we have the cognitive and reflective ability to understand that we will die, and how this death means the loss of one’s self, one’s relationships, and one’s embeddedness in the world. Totally nothing to be terrified of there, eh?!?!
As such, evolution has baked into our freaked out human systems what are called “anxiety buffers” to try and deal with this terror of annihilation. The biologically-wired drive to exist, and keep existing, runs up against the realization of mortality, creating a dissonance that, if it were not managed, would produce paralysis. Given that a paralyzed monkey soon becomes a meal for predators, this dissonance had to be managed for the species to survive. Thus, the anxiety buffers—the mechanisms that allows us to deny death and pretend towards immortality—had to be wired into the human nervous system and psyche. TMT names these as: self-esteem, close personal relationships, and cultural belonging.
- Self-Esteem – Here’s the “I”, the loss of oneself aspect. Of course, death means the end of oneself as an ego, an identity, a meaningful spot in the annals of history (or so the ego would like to think). Because that’s what we attempt to do with self-esteem: we hope to esteem ourselves into a sense of meaning that will last past death, and therefore, staving off the death anxiety. But, of course, you guessed it: one’s self-esteem, high or low, regulates the levels and intensity of this anxiety. Low levels, higher anxiety, including being anxious about things you don’t know you’re anxious about. High levels of esteem, a much better buffer against this existential anxiety, and therefore lower anxiety.
- Close Personal Relationships – Being, the “We”, the domain of our relationships and connections. This works in two ways. One, our close personal relationships help support us, care for us, hold back the looming darkness. We feel we will be held in mind and heart by these people once we’re gone, thus “living” on. Two, our social status, that is, how we are regarded by others outside of our circle, our public identity, which still falls under the belief that, “I’ll be remembered after I’m gone, and will thusly live on.” Whether it be our close relationships or our social place in the world, the “We” acts as another buffer.
- Culture Belonging – Being, the world at large and how we fit in. This kind of encompasses everything that a human does. There are no humans that don’t fit into a human social system, in which they have learn a way of perceiving, living, and believing, out of which a personal story and identity develops, of how and where they fit in the world. Everything we do has to do with culture, from religious and spiritual beliefs to how we move about in our daily lives. Having a strong sense of belonging engenders a sense of having meaning in and to the world, and a low sense of belonging puts us close to meaninglessness, just a step away from annihilation.
So, as you can see, TMT covers just about everything in terms of how humans behave, their motivations towards preservation of self and meaning, how they will view themselves, others, and their world at large. As articulate as TMT is about our relationship and defense (via the anxiety buffers) against death anxiety, the question still is there: why does it really matter if a human knows and understands that this process is even happening at all?
Given these three anxiety buffers, I think we can see just how pervasive and all-encompassing they are. Given the terror that they protect us from (death and the loss of meaning), is it any wonder that we will defend ourselves, our relationships (whatever form those might take), and our worldview (i.e., beliefs), to the woe of anyone challenging them? And oh, how we make others feel that woe: we protect these buffers often no matter what the cost.
This protection shows up in our behaviors towards ourselves and others. Have you ever wondered why certain beliefs are so strong that it seems like nothing at all will change the mind of someone steeped in them? Have you ever wondered why people react so viciously towards people not in their circle of beliefs, to the point of dehumanizing the “other”? Have you ever wondered why you respond so strongly to these other people as well? “Why do they possibly think that, and behave like that? Don’t they know they are wrong?” Have you ever also lashed out at others for what you perceive (i.e., believe) is “not right”?
The fact, despite our clung to beliefs about our rightness, is that all humans are, by birth, held in the loving embrace of TMT. No human stands outside those arms, no human is immune to its workings. Are we then all doomed to swirl in these eddies, to these cutting, judging, and even murderous reactions to each other? Not necessarily.
Awareness is, as always, the first step. Knowing and understanding that you have these beliefs and responses can lead to not only a better hold on your own behaviors and responses, but some compassionate understanding of why others do what they do. We are in the midst of an extremely divisive time (although if you look back at the history of humans, I think you’ll see that it isn’t really that much different from now, just that the Internet, in all its fabulous and not so fabulous glory, makes this much easier to see), and there’s not a lot of understanding or compassion from many a corner right now. Like it or not, deny it or not, we’re all subject to, if not ensconced in, the grip of TMT. So, being aware that this even exists as an underlying application of our human operating systems is going to be very helpful.
Yes? If you accept that then, also like it or not, you have to do some Work. Yes, capital “W”. I.e., go to therapy, do mindfulness training in the form of the very-not-relaxing-and-also-often-terrifying insight meditation, dig into valid forms of self-challenging and self-growth. Learn the principles of Emotional Intelligence (Daniel Goleman), open yourself to different forms of thinking, ask tons of questions. Do your homework and dig into the TMT and Becker’s works more deeply. Observe yourself as you respond to yourself, your loved ones, the larger world around, and especially to those who think, feel, and believe differently than yourself. In otherwise, “Know Thy TMT-Self.”
As one of my favorite lines from the movie Pitch Perfect goes, when Beca’s (Anna Kendrick) friend stumbles off to get another drink, Beca calls, “Make good choices!”
Given this new awareness and understanding, let’s make better choices.
