The XIXth edition of the Inter-University Workshop on Philosophy and Cognitive Science will be held on May 18 and 19, of 2009, in Zaragoza, Spain, organized by the Department of Philosophy of the University of Zaragoza.

The invited speaker will be Ernest Sosa, Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.

In recent years Interuniversity Workshop invited speakers have been: Professors Dennett, Fodor, Dretske, Millikan, Burge, Searle, Kim, Peacocke, Recanati, Stroud, McDowell, Block, and Carruthers.

Professor Sosa is Board of Governors Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University. His published or forthcoming work takes up a broad range of issues in epistemology, such as foundationalism/coherentism, internalism/externalism, reliabilism, contextualism, skepticism, the Pyrrhonian problematic and the problem of easy knowledge, epistemic normativity, intuitions and their place in philosophy, epistemic agency, epistemic virtue or competence, the nature of knowledge, and the value of knowledge.

The Organizing Committee invites contributions based on topics related to Prof. Sosa's work. Extended drafts (not less than 2000 words) should be sent to the coordinator of the workshop, Jesús Ezquerro (jesus.ezquerro@ehu.es), before February, 27, 2009 (e-mail only).

No nie mogli lepiej trafić.

Wiesz Liveke, ten list nie byl pisany przez rodowitego austalijczyka - to znaczy, ta osoba nie jest native speaker-em angielskiego! Oni moze maja obywatelstwo, ale robia bledy ktorych zaden native english speaker byl nie popelnil (nikt by nie powiedzial United State - a to zdanie: " I am business woman I finished my university degree just of resent, I studied children guiding, counseling and psychology" tez nie ma sensu lingwistycznie.)

No i $1,000 na tydzien ????!!!! Eh, ktos tu kogos chce naciagac..... uwazaj.

Jeśli już została wywołana Historia w tym Temacie, to przypomnę tylko niektórym Użytkownikom tego Forum - a jest ich na pewno ponad 95% - że za "komuny" obecna dzielnica Tarnowa - Mościce - była zakazana, a zwała się - Tarnów Zachodni!!! Ale już w 1989r. kiedy nastała pseudo-demokracja to ówczesny speaker zawodów na stadionie "Unii" - Zbigniew Rozkrut (zresztą straszny oszołom) - głosił do mikrofonu - "stadion w Mościcach"!!!

Myślę, że nie bez znaczenia będzie tutaj, czy to native speaker Anglik/Brytyjczyk, czy Amerykanin albo Australijczyk. W końcu Wielka Brytania jest w Unii Europejskiej i powinno to być bez porównania prostsze, tak na zdrowy rozum.
Z tego co przeczytałem tutaj native speaker nie potrzebuje w ogóle zezwolenia od wojewody.

I find the part where you say cheap stereo cable only lasts 2-3 years especially funny. I'm running on 1968 cheap ass twin line speaker cable. Works like a champ. Back then they called it lamp wire though, same shit. Your cable costs twice as much as it should for things like:

"dielectric polarization"

tell me, do you know what that means? cause you paid a lot for it. Let me go out on a limb and assume you don't.

Stop trying to justify spending outragous sums on wire.


LOL, cant you read?!?!?

I said I have seen the effect that cheap cables which are not always insulated in speakers after 2+ years. That means they might have been used for 20years or 3 years. Maybe re-read my reply again.

Hmm... did I spend outrageous amount on my wire?!?!?! hell now. Let me guess your wire was what? $5.00 for what ? 4m's? My equivalent cable is retail about $150, I paid less than $30 for it and its 13m, so how exactly did I get ripped off?

You seem to be making several assumptions, one being is that I paid regular retail price which I DID NOT.

Also I do know what a dielectic is. If I remember correctly (which isnt always the case) it refers to having a non-conducting material between conducting materials, or was it the other way around. Its been a long time since I have had to deal with dielectics since my last 1.5 years of my degree didnt involve straight electronics.

I am not trying to justify anything. I am just stating my opinion from a university, retail backround as well as having seen the diffrence in cable quality.

Let me ask you this, have you seen the diffrence between a analog and a digital signal on a TV? If so which is better?



An Aymara man gestures back over his shoulder as he uses an expression referring to "next year."
Every language has metaphors that express time in terms of space; in English, for instance, one looks forward to next week or back to last year.

But in Aymara, spoken by about 2 million indigenous people in the Andean highlands of Bolivia, Peru, and Chile, it's the other way around. The word nayra can refer both to objects that are physically in front of the speaker and to events in the past. Nayra mara, for example, means "last year," explains Rafael Núñez, a cognitive scientist at the University of California (UC), San Diego. Qhipa means back or behind, so qhipa mara indicates "next year."

This time concept extends to gestures as well as words. Speakers point backward or wave over their shoulders when talking about a future event and extend their hands forward to indicate the past--reaching farther out for events that happened long ago. Núñez and UC Berkeley linguist Eve Sweetser present their analysis of 20 hours of videotaped talk with 30 Aymara volunteers in the current issue of Cognitive Science.

"The Aymara seem to equate time with sources of knowledge," says David McNeill, a linguist at the University of Chicago in Illinois. To the Aymara, the forward direction is the source of the known: what's seen by the eyes, and what's happened in the past. Behind, where they can't see, lies the future.

PSU? Pensylvanian State University? Then write English, or if you can - Russian, without using scripts like "google translations" etc. As Polish native-speaker I can;t understand your first post here. I understood " i znaleźć dobrą bezpłatne lekcje." as "and I've found good free lessons" but completely don't know what does "Ja studiowania języka rosyjskiego" mean. Literally it means "I (am?) of studying of Russian language". If you wanted to write "I study Russian [language]", then you should write "Studiuję [język] rosyjski".

I can't guess what does "Ponadto, kilka wiedzieć Polski." mean.

I am a student of Polish and French at the University of Sheffield who has just returned to Norwich, my home city, for the summer. I have spent the last semester learning Polish at the Jagiellonian University, and the semester before that in Rennes, France.

I am offering one-to-one English or French tuition. I believe this is a unique opportunity for you to learn from a native English speaker with whom you can converse in Polish. I would like to return to Krakow next year when I finish university to teach English and this would give me valuable teaching experience for my application, and likewise a way of keeping up my language skills this summer. I can provide materials and lessons would take place in the study in my house. I would charge a nominal £5 per hour.

Having read the posts on here I already see you all have a very good command of the English language (much better than I speak Polish!). However, if you're interested in additional tutoring, please contact me at fra06pbm@sheffield.ac.uk, and we can sort something out. I look forward to hearing from you

Ik kreeg net een email van een vriendin van me die bij een andere bank werkt (Societe Generale)....zie hieronder.

We are potentially looking for an intern for our team (Derivatives and Solutions Group) and before we start publicising the position, we'd like to see whether we can find someone through recommendations or word of mouth (as the position is not certain yet).

The desk markets credit and rate structured products in the Netherlands, to financial institutions and for distribution.
So far there is 2 of us, and the team has existed for a little over a year. As we're starting up, we'd need someone that can help us with all the practical and admin part, and then if things go well get more and more involved in the marketing and pricing.

So, ideally, we'd like someone that is finishing uni - or has a little of experience - and is quite quantitative but also socially apt...
and, very important, a Dutch speaker.

If you know someone that you think fits the bill, please ask them to forward their CV to me..

Mocht je willen reageren, stuur mij dan jouw CV naar daniel.aksan@lehman.com

A very interesting piece of information

John E. Chappell, Jr., the late director of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (an organization of relativity critics), relates the following suppression story: (22)

One of the most recent [suppression stories] comes from a new NPA member who, when doing graduate work in physics around 1960, heard the following story from his advisor: While working for his Ph.D. in physics at the University of California in Berkeley in the late 1920s, this advisor had learned that all physics departments in the U.C. system were being purged of all critics of Einsteinian relativity. Those who refused to change their minds were ordered to resign, and those who would not were fired, on slanderous charges of anti-Semitism. The main cited motivation for this unspeakably unethical procedure was to present a united front before grant-giving agencies, the better to obtain maximal funds. This story does not surprise me. There has been a particularly vicious attitude towards critics of Einsteinian relativity at U.C. Berkeley ever since. I ran into it in 1985, when I read a paper arguing for absolute simultaneity at that year's International Congress on the History of Science. After I finished, the Danish chairman made some courteous remarks about dissidents he had learned about in Scandinavia, and then turned to the audience for questions. The first speaker was one of a group of about 4 young physics students in the back. He launched immediately into a horrible tirade of verbal abuse, accusing me of being entirely wrong in my analysis, a simplification of the Melbourne Evans analysis-'Evans is wrong; you are wrong,' he shouted. He accused me of being way out of line to present my 'faulty' arguments on his prestigious campus. When I started to ask him 'Then how would you explain...', he loudly interrupted me with 'I don't have to explain anything.' The rest of the audience felt so disturbed by all this, that the question session was essentially destroyed."

Such reactions are not uncommon. To even begin to criticize Einsteins's theory of special relativity has become a scientific heresy of the highest order. The prevailing attitude of the physical establishment is that anyone who doubts the validity of this "bedrock of modern physics" is insane, and that trying to refute it is a symptom of "psychosis"



Jaki lektor. To jest program. Filmik ciekawy.

Najlepsze momenty to jak sołtysowi szczecina odwaliło i jak doktorek z instytutu czit i dziecko mówił co trzeba zrobić, aby grać jak wiesiek. Filmik byłby lepszy gdyby nie uni speaker.


Bardzo fajny filmik. Zwłaszcza jak mówi Arnold z funflami.

P.S. Ten piękny uni speaker w tle mnie rozbraja.
P.SS. Ktoś zna tytuł tej piosenki jak Mario przenosi te ciężary?

ja uzywam realspeaker i uni speaker (lub cos takiego) (te 2 ok 300mb)syn talk to nie wiem ale troche male 300kb - dobre to (niewiem czy to sciagac troche mi szkoda transferu) ??

Pozdro :

DREXEL UNIVERSITY - Philadelphia

Bardzo dobry program uniwersytecki, suuuper PD - doktor Paluzzi ktory chyba bardzo lubi Polakow, byl dla mnie prze mily, rezydenci rotuja sie przez dwa szpitale jeden prawdziwy miejski duzy uniwersytecki szpital - Hahneman Hospital w samym srodku center city w Philadelphi (2 bloki od ratusza i slawetnej Market Street - ECFMG - miejsce wysylanie USMLE aplikacji )drugi szpital to tzw Abington na przedmiesciach bardzo nowoczesny i dobrze wyposazony community hospital, ktory tez ma wlasnych rezydentow. Hahneman jest bardziej buzy ale za to pewnie wiecej mozna sie w nim nauczyc, Abington w ktorym spedza sie 20% czasu to wg rezydentow przyjemnosc i wakacje. co do samych rezydentow to tak jak w maimonides dobry mix ludzi z zagranicy i amerykanow, bardzo duzy program (40 co roku x 3 lata = 120 rezydentow) ale mimo tego atmosfera jest dosyc dobra. morning report niestresujacy i bardzo interaktywny z udzialem faculty, ktory jak narrator albo glowny speaker prowadzil calego case przy udziale prezentujacego rezydenta - bardzo mi sie podobalo. co jeszcze? - sponsoruja H1, daja czasem prematche ogolnie jezeli ktos nie ma duzo kasy na jezdzenie po calych stanach to nie popelni bledu aplikujac do Drexela bo zdobedzie super edukacje w miare niestresujacych warunkach a co do fellowshipow to w Drexelu wszystko jest mozliwe lacznie z cardio. sama Philadelphia to bardzo przyjemne miasto z center city ktora zaspokoi kazde gusta, Philly to miniaturowa wersja NYC z mniejszymi kosztami zycia i z podobnym busy klimatem ale nie az tak busy jak w Nowym Jorku. Co do pogody to jest troche podobnie jak w Polsce ale w marcu zima juz sie raczej konczy i jak w Polsce marzec to 5 stopni C to w Philly jakies 15C wiec nie jest tak zle, polecam

You are sincerely welcome to Riga and the FIPLV NBR international conference!

Alex, Twój "problem" polega na tym, że masz matczyne serce. Albo raczej, w tym przypadku, "córczane" i patrzysz na ojca Hryniewicza jak zatroskana córka na tatę. A ja patrzę na to przez pryzmat takich faktów jak ten, że w USA mamy na przykład 28 jezuickich katolickich uniwersytetów i żaden z nich nie jest na liście rekomendowanych szkół dla "ortodoksyjnych katolików". Dlaczego? Bo uczą "innej ewangelii".

Co roku w USA zostaje publikowana lista "ortodoksyjnych uczelni katolickich". Jest to "The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College" Takie renomowane uczelnie, jak Georgetown, Loyola, Xavier, Marquette, Boston College, Fordham, czy Gonzaga, szkoły z wielkimi tradycjami, nie są polecane, bo uczą herezji, zapraszają mówców - działaczy i polityków "pro choice" itd, itp. Z innymi szkołami nie jest wiele lepiej. "Sztandarowa" katolicka uczelnia w USA, University of Notre Dame, także się nie załapała na listę. Wygląda wręcz na to, że często najłatwiejszą drogą do utraty wiary, a w konsekwencji często także i utraty zbawienia, jest nauka na "katolickim uniwersytecie".

Dlatego ja nie żałuję tego typu teologów. Dla mnie są oni raczej żałośni i godni politowania. A zwłaszcza niebezpieczni, bo prowadzą ludzi, także innych nauczycieli wiary, do herezji. Oddalają ich od Boga. Uczą "humanistycznej religii", nie Ewangelii Jezusa.

I pewnie, że może się on komuś wydać ciekawą postacią. Ciekawy niekoniecznie znaczy pozytywny. Dla mnie jednak jest on jednym z tysięcy, którzy są twórcami tej rzeczywistości, jaką teraz mamy. Chrześcijaństwa według naszego wyobrażenia, a nie według nauki Jezusa. Sytuacji, gdzie np. w Polsce katolicki sejm nawet nie próbuje przegłosować praw zgodnych z nauką Kościoła, a w USA katolicki wiceprezydent z katolickim marszałkiem sejmu ("Speaker of the House") będą się prześcigać w znoszeniu restrykcji przeciw zabijaniu niewinnych dzieci. I do tego oskarżać Kościół i biskupów mówiących, że nie wolno im przystępować do Stołu Pańskiego o mieszanie się do polityki.

To wszystko jest ze sobą powiązane. Nic się nie dzieje bez przyczyny. I jasne, że nie chodzi o potępianie kogokolwiek. Ksiądz Hryniewicz potrzebuje naszych modlitw, naszego wsparcia. Nie znam jego duszy i nie wiem co w niej siedzi. Nie raz wspominaliśmy, że to oceniać może tylko Bóg. Ale wiemy z samej Biblii, że nauczyciele wiary mają niesamowicie odpowiedzialne zadanie i będą z niego rozliczeni. Otrzymali inteligencję, wiedzę, powinni jej użyć na chwałę Boga, a nie by rozbijać Jego Kościół i wprowadzać zamęt.

Ja bojkotuję adidasa od dobrych 36 lat, wiedziałem co się święci
To jest zupełnie tak samo jak bojkot budowy Hipernowej pod hasłem "Biedne zwierzęta" pod patronatem PSS.

Chiny walą jakiś tam kraj o liczebności jednej dzielnicy Pekinu. Nawet jakby im się cały świat postawił to i tak władze CHRL ogłoszą embargo na dostawy towarów do całego świata i wyślą je na księżyc, a wszystkim pracownikom każą wziąć udział w 4 tygodniowym pochodzie na cześć MAO (kto się nie zastosuje ten dostanie skierowanie na tanie wczasy gdzieś na mokradłach). Po tym wszystkim świat powie, że władze CHRL są złe ale, żeby ulżyć doli biednego ludu znowu mogą zacząć kupować ich towary (oczywiście łaskawie).

Najbardziej podoba mi się pomysł koszulek z Solidarnością ponoć nie Chińskich ale z innego kraju gdzie respektowane są prawa człowieka (no bo tam ludzie dostają miskę ryżu za 14 godzin pracy na dobę - nie to co w Chinach). Niezły PR związków zawodowych które ostatnio coś raczej słabo stoją. Ciekawe jaki procent Tybetańczyków poczuje się lepiej widząc w swoich 42" plazmach otwarcie olimpiady i ten znak. Pewnie większość uroni łzę bo Polskę i "Solidarno%^%^&^%^" to oni znają (i umieją przeczytać i wymówić) no i przecież naszą historię. Nie zdziwię się jak w chińskiej TV, speaker przedstawi "Oto reprezentacja nowego kraju powstałego w wyniku zwycięstwa ideii liberalnych nad katolickimi"

Zaczyna mnie wkurzać zbijanie kapitału piarowskiego i dziennikarskiego przez kogo się da na cudzej krzywdzie. Mediom mogę to wybaczyć (bo robią to co ludzie chcą oglądać) ale firmom i organizacjom nie daruję.

Tak czy inaczej współczuję Tybetańczykom i chciałbym im jakoś pomóc, ale zupełnie nie wiem jak. Może to czas spakować się i wyjechać tam. Nauczyć ich jak się przekuwa kosy, do czego może służyć brona itp. To by była pomoc - może mało humanitarna ale pomoc. Prywatna a nie poobszywana szyldami Solidarności, Unii, kraju którego nikt tam nie jest w stanie wskazać na globusie.

Mamy nowy porządek światowy
Przywódcy chwalą zakończony w Londynie szczyt G20. Brytyjski premier mówi o "nowym początku". To "bardzo dobry, niemal historyczny kompromis" - ocenia kanclerz Niemiec Angela Merkel. Prezydent Francji Nicolas Sarkozy oświadczył, że "szczyt G20 przeszedł jego oczekiwania".

Zamykając szczyt G-20 w Londynie, brytyjski premier Gordon Brown, ogłosił nowy porządek światowy i erę wspólnego zarządzania procesem globalizacji. Szczyt najbardziej uprzemysłowionych państw świata zakończył się bez spodziewanych rozdźwięków między Stanami Zjednoczonymi i Wielka Brytanią, a Francją i Niemcami.

Gordon Brown ogłosił utworzenie pakietu stymulującego, który da Bankowi Światowemu i Międzynarodowemu Funduszowi Walutowemu dodatkowe bilion dolarów na rozruszanie gospodarki i pomoc dla krajów, które najbardziej ucierpiały na obecnym kryzysie.

To był szczyt obłudy. Kilkudziesięciu dygnitarzy wyciągnęło z rękawa czarodziejską różdżkę, po której w świat poszła wiadomość o początku końca światowego kryzysu ekonomicznego, a brytyjski speaker ogłosił szumnie powstanie NWO. Wydaje mi się, że tych kilkudziesięciu obłudników dostało prikaz ogłoszenia tego faktu medialnego, aby społeczność międzynarodowa okrzepła z tą nazwą, czyli jest to kolejny etap do imperializmu, który podporządkuje sobie cały świat. Im więcej będziemy dyskutować o NWO, tym bardziej wniesiemy własny wkład o zakorzenienie się tego chorego tworu. Temu również służy chamski sposób uchwalenia jewrokonstytucji, której treści moim zdaniem nie zna 95% mieszkańców Unii. Czy kiedykolwiek wybudzą się mieszkańcy Europy z letargu w którym tkwią już wiele lat

(Dz.U.Nr. 133 poz.883)



w zasadzie zawsze staram sie sam swoje zadanie zrobic, ale tym razem juz
mnie i mojego collinsa przeroslo. z 10 zdan do uzupelnienia zostalo mi
6.
jesli ktos bedzie mogl mi zasugerowac prawidlowe odpowiedzi z
wyjasnieniem,
czemu akurat tak a nie inaczej, to bede bardzo wdzieczny. W kazdym tylko
jedna odpowiedz jest prawidlowa.

"When Lucinda graduated, she had no idea which _____ to chose"
a) living     b) business     c) career     d) work

Wydaje mi sie, ze c i d pasuja. No ale tylko jedno jest poprawne.


It's c) matey. Unless you're a nineteenth century vicar. Then it's a).

"The sales manager failed to negotiate a suitable _______ with his
Japanese
counterpart"
a) deal     b) transaction     c) business     d) accord

accord? a moze deal?


it's a) deal!

"Pete has a well-paid position with a local _______"
a) firm    b) association    c) house    d) society

d pewnie nie, a reszta?


a) is most likely to give you a well paid position. I can think of
contexts where each alternative wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

"The day-to-running of the school is handled by the headteacher, who is
responsible to the ______ of governors"
a) board    b) table    c) commitee    d) meeting

zaluje ze nie mam slownika instytucji i organow administracji wszelakiej
:)
ale board mi tu najbardziej pasuje


I don't know what day-to-running is, but I think you are right.

"Employers are often less interested in an applicant's academic _______
than
in his or her experience"
a) papers    b) certificates    c) qualifications    d) degrees

pewnie degrees, ale czy moze byc certificates?


'qualifications' seems most natural to me.

"University students live on a ______ from the government"
a) grant    b) pension    c) fund     d) purse

grant? a moze jest zwrot to live on a purse from smbd?


Not in this century, whatever that is. Grant is right.

staram sie zbyt czesto Was nie zanudzac takimi pytaniami, ale tym razem
musialem sie poddac...

jrr


They weren't easy at all. And not exactly fair either as in one or two
instances you could see they were getting at a purely British English
expression and one of the other alternatives could be quite acceptable in
other parts of the English speaking world, or even in a particular
context in Britain. You only get the right answer by staying context
neutral, which is a skill which should only be examinable if it is in the
syllabus.

The question I have is whether any non-native speaker needs to be able to
sort out the level of nuances implicit in some of these questions.
Instead of getting that good surely it would be more worth spending the
time on a fresh foreign language?

Uncle Davey



| BTW: we all know that it doesn't have anything to do with this
| discussion,
| right?
Of course it has, Hanna.

If this were an issue, then it would have been talked about and discussed
in
articles, and then they would have been found by Google's bot, if you'll
pardon the expression.


Your logic is difficult to follow indeed.

First you claimed that a contract (an excerpt from which was quoted on this
list) could not have been written by a native speaker because articles were
omitted in front of the words Lender and Borrower. You didn't say it wasn't
very good style; you said it had not been written by a native speaker of
English. To refute your claim it was sufficient to find even one instance of
such usage having been followed by even one native speaker of English. I
pointed out that in fact numerous instances of this kind could easily be
found on the Internet.

To validly counter my point you would have had to demonstrate that none of
the instances of the usage in question, to be found on the Internet, had
actually been authored by a native speaker. Instead you chose to question
the validity of the Internet as a reference in general.

Yet, in your very next message you built an argument on the fact that a
phenomenon amply _illustrated_ on the Internet was not _discussed
theoretically_ on the Internet (also you concluded it wasn't solely on the
strength of the observation that the phrase "definite article in contracts"
didn't return any hits; surely, people could have talked about this without
using this exact phrase). Need I explain the fallacy of this reasoning in
more detail?

Now, I realize you are just pulling my (and everybody else's) leg - I've
seen your other recent messages and it's obvious helping people with
translation problems is not what you come here for. But at least the other
"contributions" were evidently absurd, at least to those who can seriously
consider themselves translators. This case is different. So this one last
time in this thread I'm going to take your doubts at face value. Below I
quote an entry from Bryan A. Garner's Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage
(Oxford University Press 1987), which addresses one aspect of the issue
under consideration:
"ARTICLES.   A. Omitted Before Party Denominations. It is a convention in
legal writing to omit both definite and indefinite articles before words
such as plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, appellant, and
appellee. It is almost as if these designations in legal writing become
names, or proper nouns, that denote the person or persons referred to. The
convention is a useful one, inasmuch as excision even of such slight words
can lead to leaner, more readable sentences. One need not even be consistent
within a piece of writing, where euphony would be served by departing from
consistency. But the convention should not spread beyond these few standard
party designations, for beyond these standard party-names the convention may
seem un-idiomatic. E.g., "If decedent [read the decedent] disposes of his
estate by will, he devises property and the takers are devisees, even though
the subject is personal property."/"Intervenors' [read The intervenors']
opposition to plaintiff's motion has two bases." (See the examples under (b)
of this entry in which taxpayer appears without an article)"

(p. 62)

The fact that Garner warns against excessive omission of articles only
strengthens my point that it is a practice followed by native writers of
English. It's a style you may not like (I don't) but it exists.

The Israeli Cabinet is meeting at this hour and it is expected to approve an UN Security Council resolution calling for an end to fighting in Lebanon. UN Secretary General Coffee Annan said the Israeli and Lebanese leaders are agreed. The ceasefire will go into effect tomorrow at 1 am Eastern time.

The resolution calls for the UN to send as many as 15000 troops to Lebanon to help and force the troops. Fighting continued today. Israeli planes bombed the villages and towns across Lebanon while Hezbollah continued to launch rockets into Israel.

Thousands of people attended a rally outside the White House yesterday calling for an end to the fighting. There were also protests yesterday in California’s two largest cities. NPR’s Lova S has more from Los Angeles.
About 900 protestors march to City Hall in downtown Los Angeles calling for an end to the Israeli-Lebanon conflict. The protestors urged peace and voiced objections to the US policy in the Middle East. Some carried the large Palestinian flag, while others pounded on drums and chanted somehow up sight with slogans such as “occupation is a crime”. In San Francesco about 2000 people took to the street, some also waving Palestinian flags. Meanwhile a smaller contingent of counter-protestors carried the American and Israeli flags. Police from both cities have reported no arrests. Lova S, NPR News, Los Angeles.
In Britain the terrorist threat level is still at its highest level four days after police broke up alleged plot to cause explosions on US-bound passenger planes. Larry Miller reports from London.
It was a major major plot that our British Home Secretary John Rid described the alleged plot to blow up US-bound passenger planes. Interview on the BBC, Rid said he knew about the alleged plot for some time, but that an attack seem to be imminent, he warned again complicacy, confirming reports there are at least 2 dozen of terror conspiracies now are under investigation, Rid said at least four plots that would lead to a significant loss of lives have been foiled by the British security since the suicide bombings on the London transport system last year. Meanwhile there is still chaos at London’s Heathrow Airport. A third of today’s fights are canceled and passengers are warned to expect long delays. Restrictions including the banning in the hand luggage and liquid are still in effect. For NPR News, I am N M in London.

The biannual international AIDS conference opens today in Toronto. It’s expected to draw a recorded number of aids policymakers, scientists, caregivers and activists. NPR’s Rich N reports.

24000 participants are expected in Toronto, 20 percent more than the last date’s conference in Bangkok. This year’s gathering marks 25 years since Aids was first recognized and its 10 years since researcher device drug regiments that bring the AIDS virus under control, at least to those have access to treatments.

Oparty na Dunlop® Cry Baby®:
Jedno z najbardziej popularnych brzmień pedału Wah z nieznacznie bogatszym brzmieniem niż Vox®. Przywołuje brzmienia gitarowych bogów z późnych lat 60-tych i początku lat 70-tych.
Zakres częstotliwości, Q (Kształt), kontrola głośności, pedał Xpression zmienia efekt Wah.

Oparty na Vox® Clyde McCoy Wah™
Oryginał z 1966 roku. Chociaż został zaprojektowany do współpracy z gitarą, był on początkowo wykorzystywany przez trębaczy. Dlatego też nazwisko waltornisty Clyde’a McCoy’a jest częścią nazwy tego efektu do dzisiaj.
Zakres częstotliwości, Q (Kształt), kontrola głośności, pedał Xpression zmienia efekt Wah.

Oparty na DigiTech® XP300 Space Stations™ / Synth Swell™:
Najbardziej popularne brzmienie z bardzo starych pedałów. Synth Swell przemienia twoją gitarę w całą kosmiczną orkiestrę i pozwala ci uzyskać nieziemskie brzmienia, a pedałem ekspresji podróżować miedzy galaktykami.

Pozdrawiam.

I'll dig it out but i have a lot of bookmarks to work through it. A similar study was done with sealions and squid but they did not respond as well, though the researcher said it might be because they were not usually fed squid as part of their diet. Anyway, will be back later, hopefully with link.

Here we go though it's not the whole paper which I have not been able to find, this is the only thing I've found, never managed to get the whole article...

Newman, K., H. Markowitz (San Francisco State University, San Francisco CA 94132) (1993). Echolocation by killer whales (Orcinus orca) while in pursuit of live fish. Abstract from Marine Mammal Conference.
ABSTRACT
Echolocation use by cetaceans has been postulated to be functional in a natural environment, but might not be used as frequently in a captive setting where the water is clear and the whales are handfed. The object of this study was to see if captive Orcinus orca used echolocation when presented with live fish. We fed live coho salmon (Onchorhynchus klautch) to two captive killer whales at Marine World Africa, U.S.A., Vallejo, CA. The experiment was videotaped and recorded on a high frequency Racal 4D store four-track tape machine at 30 inches per second. A hydrophone array, consisting of a B&K 8104, a B&K 8105 and a Magnavox, was used to receive the sounds. Recordings of echolocation clicks were slowed down and analyzed with a Kay Elemetrics DSP 5500 Sonagraph and a MacAdios sound analysis program.

Results of this study demonstrate that captive killer whales will pursue, capture, and eat live fish. The whales in this study used echolocation while in pursuit of fish, as well as at other times. Preliminary analyses of echolocation clicks reveal spectral energy up to 80 kilohertz. ###

Another mention of the article:
Newman, K. and H. Markowitz, 1993. Echolocation by killer whales (Orcinus orca) while in pursuit of live fish. Abstracts of Tenth Bienniel Conference on Marine Mammals, Galveston, TX. Abstracted: Two captive killer whales at Marine World-Africa USA were presented with live coho salmon and were documented to echolocate and catch the live fish. Echolocation clicks reveal spectral energy up to 80 kilohertz. Note: The two captive killer whales were captured in 1969 and 1980, indicating that even long-term captives can and will pursue, capture, and eat live fish. Providing live fish can be considered "environmental enrichment" in captive settings.

And an article on hunting in rescued pilot whales, seeing they were talking about the live fish becoming a regular part of the diet, this might indicate they were getting dead fish first:

Early, G. and T. Rumage, 1988. A whale's fancy and the three that got away. Whalewatcher, Vol 22(1): pp. 3-5. published by the American Cetacean Society, P.O. Box 2369, San Pedro, CA 90731. Abstracted: Three young pilot whales ("Baby", "Notch" and "Tag") were rescued from a mass stranding event at Cape Cod on 3 December 1986, and rehabilitated at the New England Aquarium. After making a significant recovery and gaining weight, the three whales were evaluated for behavioral and social fitness for release. Two critical behaviors assessed were ability to act as their own small group, and the ability to forage. "In the early feedings the whales would quickly eat the fish and not play with them. As live fish became a more regular part of the whales' diet, the whales would eat them more slowly and play with them longer." "The stability of their group behavior was best seen in the whales' response to novel stimuli, in particular the playback of sounds from free ranging pilot whales." "The whales reacted strongly to the playback." "All whales, particularly "Baby" showed an increase in attention to the speaker during playbacks. No specific call or pattern of sounds appeared to have a specific effect on the whales, although thge activity level in the pool seemed to vary directly in proportion to the rate of calling on the tape." The whales were released after seven months of rehabilitation and evaluation. See Mate, 1989 in this bibliography.

Those are from here: http://www.rockisland.com/~orcasurv/releases.htm

This is the study on sealions, but I think I remember another one with squid somewhere, thing is they did show interest so that in itself could have an enriching effect.

ALOHA! and Good day soapstars!

Hi Caveyji......awwww, I know exactly how you feel sister! I have an older brother whom is actually my first cousin that I grew up with since we were little wee wonkers. LOL. Throughout my childhood years since I was in 2nd grade he took me to all of my classes on the first day of school, sat there with me just to make sure I was okay and picked me up after class and walked me to the bus. As we grew older he met some influential people that later on turned his life against all the goodness that my family have tried to instill in him. He became a worldly person always possessive about the fine things he gained in life and it turned him to a different person. We grew apart because I had gone away to school in WA and he was in CA. He met his ex-wife, had a daughter and well it was then he decides to change his life for his family but the law caught up with him and long story short did his time and was deported to Tonga back in 2000. It was then I returned to Tonga for the first time to reunite with him and ever since then we have been in contact and I miss him so much. He has been my spiritual movitvator, my inspirational manner that has made me realize that I needed to be spiritually cleansed. I must say that he is right JI.....Who would ever thought that I would be going to receive my endowments? oiaueeee...what a blessing!! Can I be telling him about my special friend in the University JI and toe pe ke puna mai tu'onga'ane he loto telephone 'o sisina au. hahahahahaha.....But that's a whole other issue that I've put behind, because it is about me and my mo'ui...right?
How nice it is to have such brothers huh JI? It's hard being far away from them but the love that you have for each other fills that distance in between. Toe pe keke move ki UT JI...haha, your probably like "HECKS NO" hahahahahaha....closer kia me'a aye? *mate he kata*

So anyhow, I wanted to share yet another experience of mine at church today. LMAO! Y'all are probably like "OH NO NOT ANOTHER ONE GINGER!!"......too bad! lol, So anyhow I decided to attend my old ward since it was the morning session and I had to work later in the afternoon. So I'm sitting there listening to the speakers and when it came down to the last speaker somehow I felt offended at the end of his talk. LMAO! It somehow started off spiritual and then went into a debate of issues and ended in a racist comment. This speaker was a proud Hawaiian that deep down inside I knew had issues with "outsiders" as he would say. LMAO!! He would always lecture his class on the whole "Malama the 'Aina" which stands for "Keep our land clean" (I think LOL) and instead of teaching his class a spiritual lesson he decides to talk about Hawaiian Literature and how sad it was for him to see that more than half of the congregation was either Tongan or Haole (Caucasion). *mate he kata* ....... It was during his talk in Sacrament about the proper way of pronouncing the parks in our city that turned my listening OFF mode. 'osi ai pe 'ete fie fanongo 'ihe ene kaila "PLEASE if you do not know how to pronounce a hawaiian word then don't say it at all!" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I thought I was going to go to work all happy, spiritually motivated and instead I left church feeling so and *mate he kata* koloa pe eku partake of the sacraments renewing my covenants aye? LOL

Kaekehe Soap Stars.........I hope Y'ALL had a better and more fulfilling sabbath than I did.

Aloha a hui hou!

STATE OF THE union" ADRESS A SPRAWA POLSKA

24 stycznia 2007, kilka minut po godzinie trzeciej (oczywiście w nocy, czasu polskiego), amerykański prezydent Jerzy W. Busz przekraczał próg sali plenarnej Senatu USA, by tam, przed połączonymi izbami Kongresu, wygłosić doroczne Orędzie o stanie Unii. Jego wejściu towarzyszyła burza oklasków, zgotowana mu przez przedstawicieli obydwu frakcji zasiadających w amerykańskim parlamencie – republikańskiej i demokratycznej. Euforia, jaką sala zareagowała na słowa „Madamme speaker, President of the United States” nie była oczywiście wskaźnikiem uwielbienia dla amerykańskiego przywódcy, znakiem poparcia dla jego polityki, ani też symbolem zgody pomiędzy dwiema, konkurującymi ze sobą partiami. Był to raczej dowód dojrzałości sceny politycznej, na której debata publiczna nie sprowadza się do opluwania konkurenta, pozostawiając miejsce na kurtuazję i szacunek należny głowie państwa.

Takie zachowanie musi spotkać się ze wzajemnością, tak więc prezydent Bush rozpoczął swoje przemówienie od komplementów pod adresem Nancy Pelosi, pierwszej Pani Spiker amerykańskiego Senatu (odpowiednik naszego Marszałka Sejmu), pogratulował demokratom zwycięstwa w ostatnich wyborach do Kongresu, a następnie przeszedł do części zasadniczej Orędzia, mówiąc m.in. o wojnie w Iraku, zmianach klimatycznych, stanie amerykańskiej gospodarki czy służbie zdrowia. Wystąpienie przerywane było owacjami na stojąco, niejednokrotnie całej sali, a brawo bili tacy antagoniści Busha jak John Kerry, czy Barrack Obama.

Myli się ten, kto sądzi, że demokraci zapomnieli o wszystkim, za co tak bardzo krytykowali republikańskiego prezydenta, podobnie jak ten, kto uważa, że Bush podlizywał się swoim politycznym konkurentom. Zachowaniem notabli zza oceanu kierował, uświęcony wielowiekową tradycją, szacunek do najwyższego suwerena – Narodu. Po zakończeniu przemówienia prezydenta, głos zabrał przedstawiciel demokratycznej większości w Kongresie, Jim Webb. Skrytykował on wojnę w Iraku, optymistyczne oceny gospodarki, a także politykę ekonomiczną Republikanów. Obyło się jednak bez ostrych słów, obraźliwych neologizmów czy porównań rodem z hip hopowych fristajli.

Oglądając to wszystko myślałem: tak powinno być i u Nas! Niestety, czasy w polityce mamy wojenne, a przeniesienie amerykańskich obyczajów parlamentarnych nad Wisłę ociera się o gatunek political fiction. Bo czyż możliwe jest, by p(remierowi, rezydentowi) Kaczyńskiemu klaskał na stojąco cały Sejm? Czy wyobrażamy sobie p. Kaczyńskiego, jak komplementuje z mównicy sejmowej Donalda Tuska lub Wojciecha Olejniczka? Nie! Zamiast tego mamy łże-elity i kaczyzm, układy i TKM, pornogrubasów, warchołów, chamów i ubekistan. Brak nam tylko jednego – kultury politycznej.
To, co w innych krajach jest normą, u nas wydaje się śmieszne. Przyzwyczailiśmy się do ciągłych kłótni i walk, zapominając o nadrzędnej wartości, jaką dla wszystkich, szczególnie dla polityków, powinna być Polska. Wojny na szczytach władzy antagonizują społeczeństwo, które zamiast umacniać więzi łączące poszczególne jego elementy, dzieli się na przeciwne obozy, odgradza murami, niszczy poczucie wspólnoty. Amerykanie wiedzą o tym od dawna. Polacy muszą do tego dorosnąć, przetrawić totalitarne półwiecze, zrozumieć, że nie ma Polski solidarnej, ani liberalnej, że istnieje tylko jedna, Rzeczpospolita.

In Jesus movie, some see hope for a dying tongue
Gibson's film features dialogue in Aramaic, which few still speak
Sunday, February 22, 2004 Posted: 6:21 PM EST (2321 GMT)



A card with the Lord's Prayer written in Aramaic sits in a Syrian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, one of the few places in the world the ancient language is still spoken.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- An ancient, dying language gets a new life on American movie screens this week.

Some linguists, who fear the language spoken by Jesus could vanish within a few decades, hope for a boost from Mel Gibson's new film, "The Passion of the Christ," opening Wednesday in U.S. theaters. The dialogue is entirely in Aramaic and Latin.

Among the few places in the world where Aramaic is still familiar is a small Syrian Orthodox church in Jerusalem, though even here it is little more than an echo these days.

A church elder laments that he has few people to speak to in Aramaic besides the monks. Parts of the liturgy have to be said in Arabic. A nun who sings the Lord's Prayer says the words are just about the only ones she can recite in Aramaic.

Aramaic was once the lingua franca of the Middle East and parts of Asia. Today, the Syrian Orthodox community in Jerusalem offers Aramaic summer school classes, but there is little interest and fewer than half the 600 members speak the language.

"Maybe the new generation will wake up and continue," said Sami Barsoum, 69, a community leader and fluent Aramaic speaker.

Just a half-million people around the world, mostly Christians, still speak Aramaic at home.

"Undoubtedly, Aramaic is in danger of disappearing," said Moshe Bar-Asher, president of the Academy of the Hebrew Language in Jerusalem.

Aramaic is one of the few languages that has been spoken continuously for thousands of years. It first appeared in written records around the 10th century B.C., though it was likely spoken earlier.

It is a Semitic language and has similarities with Hebrew and Arabic. Carpenter, for instance, is "nagouro" in Aramaic, "nagar" in Hebrew and "najar" in Arabic.

Aramaic reached its widest influence when it was adopted by the Persian empire about 500 B.C. Written in a 22-letter alphabet -- similar in form to Hebrew -- it was a relatively simple language, and scribes and intellectuals helped spread it in a largely illiterate world, Bar-Asher said.

Aramaic texts have turned up as far apart as India and Egypt. Jews returning from exile in Babylon around 500 B.C. helped spread the language to the eastern Mediterranean, where it largely supplanted Hebrew.

Scholars believe Jesus might have known Hebrew -- which by that time was reserved mainly for use in synagogues and by upper classes -- and some Greek, but Aramaic was the language of his native Galilee.

The New Testament records Jesus' last words on the cross in Aramaic: "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" The Gospel of Mark, most likely written in Greek, adds, "... which means, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' "

Michael Sokoloff, a professor of Hebrew and Semitic languages at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, Israel, said it is believed that parts of the Gospels were originally written in Aramaic, but only Greek writings have been found.

Aramaic was largely replaced by Arabic during the Islamic conquest of the 7th century.

Today, a few people speak it in parts of Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, India, Europe, Australia and some U.S. cities, including Chicago, Illinois.

In Syria, once the core of indigenous Christian Aramaic speakers, the language is still heard among 10,000 people in three villages perched on cliff sides in the Qalamoun Mountains north of Damascus.

But it is dwindling as the older generation dies, said George Rizkallah, a 63-year-old retired Syrian teacher. Rizkallah has appealed to the Syrian government and international organizations to help save the language.

A few thousand Israelis who emigrated from other Middle East countries still speak Aramaic, but few pass it on to their children.

However, the Talmud and other Jewish religious texts are written in Aramaic. It appears in the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, and in Israeli marriage and divorce contracts.

Sokoloff, the Semitic languages professor, is helping write an Aramaic dictionary.

Gibson's film, depicting Christ's final hours, uses subtitles. The script was translated into first-century Aramaic for the Jewish characters and "street Latin" for the Roman characters by the Rev. William Fulco, director of ancient Mediterranean studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.

Niestety nawet działacze FEI na ostatnim kongresie nie potrafili zdobyć się na nazwanie zła złem i wydali "rezolucję", żę " rollkur jest dopuszczalny , ale w ograniczonym do kilku minut wydaniu" ( nie cytuje dosłownie, ale taki był mniej wiecej sens tej uchwały.) Zakazując definitywnie rollkuru musieli by się "narazić" kilku uznanym autorytetom , a to już zbyt duże wmagania.

Czas trwania to było jedno zastrzeżenie. Drugie, to kto może wg FEI rollkur stosować. Mówią - świetni jeźdźcy... Ale jak to mierzyć? Jak odróżnić dobry rollkur (?) od złego? Tego nie określono - w sumie padło więcej pytań, niż odpowiedzi. Trochę to wszystko pokręcone - rollkur jest be (więc, ludu! nie stosujcie), ale niektórym stosować go wolno (czyli może nie taki znów be).

ale chciałam się dowiedziec czemu kon sam z siebie potrafi tak zrobic?


Zaglądając do raportu FEI (podlinkowany na poprzedniej stronie)... Pierwsze wystąpienie - o uczeniu, wzmacnianiu, wygaszaniu - w którym prelegent zaczął od stwierdzenia, że taka pozycja - "przegięcie" - jaką przyjmuje koń w rollkurze zdarza się w naturze - ale koń jej nigdy sam nie utrzymuje dłużej niż moment. Więc to może jakaś wskazówka do pierwszej części pytania - koń potrafi tak zrobić...

Dr. McLean opened his presentation by defining “Rollkur” as a technique of working/training horses to produce a degree of cervical flexion that cannot be selfmaintained by the horse for any length of time. (...) Over-bending did, in fact, occur in nature but only for brief periods at a time.


Dr Andrew McLean, Dr Paul McGreevy & Professor Leo Jeffcott, Australian Equine Behaviour Centre, 730 Clonbinane Road, Broadford, VIC 3658, & Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia.

Przy okazji - jaka im w końcu razem wyszła robocza definicja:
"Hyperflexion of the neck is a technique of working/training to provide a degree of longitudinal flexion of the mid-region of the neck that cannot be selfmaintained by the horse for a prolonged time without welfare implications.”


Co do tego "czemu"... Może to kwestia wyboru między jedną "niewygodą" a drugą? Tylko chowanie się za wędzidło to chyba jest uciekanie - a rollkur nie. Podkreślają to jeżdżący w ten sposób - koń pozostaje na kontakcie. A behawioryści dodają, że niewygoda/ból/stres/... nie znika, cokolwiek koń robi. Koń nie ma możliwości wymyślenia czegoś, za co by dostał wygodę. I uczy się ten stan znosić - a to jest właśnie wyuczona bezradność. Smutne, co?

W sumie się cieszę, że to wszystko to dla mnie bajki o żelaznym wilku. Za górami, za lasami... (Albo na YouTube )

P.S. Co to za światły speaker takie mądrości prawił w Poznaniu?
Ale optymistycznie patrząc - widowniowych gwizdaczy było więcej, no nie?
