AdvisorOne contributor and perma-bear Gary Shilling appeared on "Bloomberg Surveillance" on Thursday to do what he does best: make the case that the sky is falling.
When asked why interest rates are so low, Shilling (left) gave three reasons.
"I think we're already in a global recession, particularly in the U.S., Europe and China," he said. "Second, Treasuries are a safe haven and there are very few others. Third, there will be an increasing concern about deflation as economies of the world deteriorate."
Deflation simply means supply exceeds demand, and "that's the kind of world that we're in," he continued. "We already have deflation in financial assets, in tangible assets and in wages."
When asked what the Federal Reserve should do in response, Shilling said there was very little they could do.
"The Fed will probably do something to show that they're doing something, but I don't think it will make much of a difference. What are they going to do, add another $500 billion to excess reserves?"
It will put a little more money in circulation, he added, and stocks may get "a pop for about 15 minutes," but there will be less and less reaction as investors realize Fed action is having a diminished impact.
As for his thoughts on Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher's recent comments about the risk of "overprescribing monetary Ritalin," Shilling said, "Sure, there's a risk of overprescribing, and Chairman [Ben] Bernanke has said that. Look, in about 15 minutes, they could get rid of massive reserves. They can sell Treasuries and rates go up and it cuts that off."
But there's a risk at that point of political pressure, he warned.
"If we get through all the deleveraging in, say, five or seven years, and the Fed says, 'OK, we can get rid of all the excess reserves,' the politicians will say, 'Wait a minute, the economy is just now recovering and you want to go through another 1937 all over again?"

(BOSTON GLOBE) The family of a Plymouth-area girl who nearly died and was left legally blind after taking one of the country's most common household medicines, Children's Motrin, was awarded $63 million Wednesday by a Massachusetts jury that found health care giant Johnson & Johnson failed to warn patients adequately about the painkiller's potential side effects.
The family of Samantha Reckis, who was 7 at the time she suffered the severe reaction, said the verdict by a Plymouth County jury was a "historic day for consumer safety." The unusually large award still needs the approval of the trial judge in the case.
The child was given the popular pain reliever after showing signs of fever around Thanksgiving in 2003. But as she continued to take the drug, her condition only worsened, to the point where her family didn't know whether she would survive.

It is once again my privilege to host the Carnival of the Mobilists – the week before the Memorial Day Weekend out here in the States.
Let's roll: MobileSlate has a two-header. The first one wonders aloud about Twitter's endgame and provides several useful application scenarios. The second post makes a case for FaceBook Connect to cater not only to iPhones but to the Billions of feature phones that people carry around in the developing world. I couldn't agree more.
Geoff Ballinger has a post on Blyk that discusses the latter's plans to evolve from an MVNO to partnering with MNOs to get access to the operator's customer base. He presents the pros and cons of the strategy, but it sure looks like a lot of investor money to prove out their ad-based model.
Tam Hanna leads with a provocative title, "iPhone's Demise" – the premise of with which I don't quite agree. People buy iPhones because they are perfect platforms for media and entertainment – Veblen's effect not withstanding!
Here is a post on mobile web application that lets you send ordinary SMS with enclosed files.
Steven Hoober has an interesting entry (complete with a video clip) on a fictional touch-screen internet connected tablet – it looks pretty cool, make sure you check it out!
Ajit Jaokar talks about the myth of mobile design using some well-known examples – he argues that many of the factors which constitute a truly excellent design are currently not in the control of the designer.
Finally, Mobile Point View's Paul Ruppert interviews Lisa Gersh, President Strategic Initiatives, NBC Universal and Managing Director of The Weather Channel, where she discusses NBC Universal's mobile corporate development initiatives.
Post of the week
Tomi Ahonen in his own inimitable fashion argues here that phone input is superior to that of a laptop – completely counter-intuitive that I was skeptical when I started reading the article. Tomi does make some good points – sound input, motion sensors, video capture etc. – are not all things we usually think of when discussing "inputs". But a phone cannot beat (and Tomi agrees) a laptop when you are writing a long blog entry (for which Tomi acknowledges, he used a laptop).

Why should you be within 60 minutes of a hospital or first aid centre when you do the abortion?
It is absolutely necessary to be within one hour of help, in case you lose too much blood. This is also the case when a woman has a miscarriage or gives birth. It is not necessary for you to live in an urban area to do a medical abortion. Almost all areas with internet access will also have a basic first aid centre nearby.
Hospitals and first aide centres must have basic medical equipment and staff. This equipment and expertise is the same that is required to care for women who have complications related to miscarriage or birth.
More scientific information:
"Medical abortions can be used safely in even the most basic settings, as long as back-up care is available to treat women who experience complications or method failure. The techniques typically employed to manage such complications are similar to those used to manage spontaneous abortion. Therefore, established services for routine elective surgical abortion are a not a prerequisite for introducing medical abortion into a given setting.6
"A full surgical abortion service is not necessary in order to provide medical abortion; however, back-up with vacuum aspiration should be available if and as required." 4 Vacuum aspiration can be done without electricity, using a manual vacuum aspirator. Thus, electricity is not required to help women with complications.

I'm going to approach this post a little differently from my last one. Here, I am not expressly arguing for any comparisons. I am merely presenting some research that has been done by a scholar whose work I enjoy reading. Feel free to come to your own conclusions. The following comes from a book by British scholar Crispin Fletcher-Louis, entitled All the Glory of Adam: Liturgical Anthropology in the Dead Sea Scrolls (Brill, 2002). I posted this recently on my blog Heavenly Ascents, but I thought it would be appropriate to share again here for this audience.
Fletcher-Louis had the following to say about the early Jewish belief that all of humanity was meant to be divine, a potential that could be fully realized in the elect:
Studies driven by New Testament concerns have tended to focus attention on the singular angelomorphic hero of old or the future messiah whose identity prefigures early Christian beliefs about Jesus. However, the fact that so often the angelomorphic identity is grounded in that of Adam before his exit from Eden, the existence of a continuity of angelomorphic identity through the generations of God's elect and the focus on Israel as an angelomorphic people of God speaks for a theological perspective which should not be missed: there seems to be a claim which is usually implicit, but, as we shall see, is at other times explicit, that true humanity, as it is restored among the elect, is both angelomorphic and divine. In the rush to explain the origins of early Christian beliefs about Jesus sight can be lost of the fact that the peculiarly divine, angelic or exalted status of a particular righteous individual is fundamentally an expression of a universal theological anthropology. (Crispin Fletcher-Louis, All the Glory of Adam, 12)

The plant seed with its reserves of starch, proteins and lipids constitutes the main feedstock for the human food supply chain. Two thirds of the calories consumed by humans can be traced back to cereals. Providing enzymes to modify plant macromolecules for smarter, more efficient and sustainable products is a key task in biotechnology and hydrolytic enzymes evolved in planta have enormous potential.
Phytases (myoinositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase; EC 184.108.40.206 and EC 220.127.116.11) are phosphatases that initiate the sequential liberation of orthophosphate groups from phytate (myoinositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate). Phytases are of particular importance during seed germination, where they mobilize phosphate from phytate, the major reserve (~70%) of phosphorus in plant seeds. However, in mature ungerminated seeds and in the digestive tract of non-ruminant animals, there is often little or no phytase activity. When dry seeds are used for feed, this has a number of consequences. Digestible phosphate such a di-calcium phosphate (which is a limited resource) must be added to the animal feed to ensure the proper nutritional composition. The undigested phytate excreted in the manure in turn gives rise to concern since it contributes significantly to the environmental phosphate load. Finally, phytate is considered the single most important antinutritional factor for the bio-availability of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc.
Plant seeds with a high phytase activity is considered an important means for improving phosphate and mineral bioavailability in feed and food. However, different plant species have developed various strategies for phytase-mediated degradation of phytate during germination. The cereals, barley (Hordeum vulgare), wheat (Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum), and rye (Secale cereale) synthesize and accumulate significant amounts of phytase during grain development as well as during germination. Other cereals, like maize (Zea mays) and rice (Oryza sativa), depend fully on de novo synthesis during germination. Despite of their importance for basic plant processes and their significance for human and livestock nutrition, little is known about the molecular composition and the mechanisms regulating phytase formation during grain development and germination. In order to unravel this, the full complement of cereals phytases is being characterized.
Proteases: Plant proteases are of fundamental biological importance but may also have a large potential as industrial enzyme in a market where ~60% of all commercialized enzymes in the world are proteases. Their fields of application are very diverse, including improving the tenderness of meat, proteases in detergents, production of fish protein hydrolysates, in antibody preparation and in brewing. Cereal cysteine proteases account for more than 90 % of the total proteolytic activity in the degradation of cereal seed storage proteins during germination. However, the complement of cysteine proteases is comprehensive and detailed characterization of the individual components is pursued for realizing the full potential.

When to Get the Best Deal on a Christmas Tree
Can you believe Christmas is just ONE MONTH AWAY?!
Did you get your tree yet? Usually, it pays to be early, but in this case, getting your tree on the later side will save you big bucks. You might think that Black Friday would be a great time to pick up your evergreen, but it's actually when you'll pay the highest prices.
Waiting until December 15th will actually get you the best deals. We're talking about real trees - not the fake ones you find in box stores.
Last year, the average price on Black Friday was $79.11 and even higher on Cyber Monday. If you hold off until the week before Christmas, you can pick one up for around $56. Of course, you'll have to decide if saving a few bucks is worth having a treeless house for most of December.
Christmas tree supply is actually low this year, which will make deals not as easy to come by. Due to the recession back in 2008, farmers didn't plant as many trees, and we're just now feeling the effects because Christmas trees take 10 years to grow.
Happy Holidays!

Basic Boat Info
Engines / Speed
- Engine Power: 30hp
- Type: Inboard
High-performance, high-volume hull design
The 3400's high volume hull form provides enough space for exceptional cruising accommodations and storage and a powerful shape that is easily driven and in balance over a wide range of sailing conditions. Forward sections are slightly veed providing an easy motion in a seaway and her aft sections are full and flat offering high speed potential in heavy conditions. The hull's volume is evenly distributed through her length, which provides a symmetrical shape at all heel angles and maintains her light helm in more challenging conditions.A deck designed for sailing
The deck is designed for maximum comfort and safety and embraces classic yacht aesthetics. Her cockpit offers high seatbacks for comfort and a deep and secure cockpit for safety. Wide sidedecks allow her crew to move fore and aft without being encumbered by the excessive house structures seen on so many current production offerings. The wrap-around coaming not only provides a striking tie to her heritage, it also serves as a splash rail and convenient location for mounting a dodger, both of which offer additional cockpit comfort and security. As with all Tartans, the 3400 features tall and distinctive teak toerails that not only enhance her yacht status but also provide an important toe hold in rough weather sailing. Ventilation, always a Tartan priority, is provided by an abundance of stainless steel opening portlights, deck hatches, and dorades.
A Tartan's good looks have always provided her owners with head-turning prideful entrances into harbors as well as helping maintain their value by not chasing the fad of the moment. The 3400 continues this tradition with a sophisticated hull and deck design.Built for strength, safety, and excellent speed
The 3400 takes full advantage of Tartan's advanced sailboat manufacturing techniques. Her hull laminate is an infused composite of uni-directional e-glass, BPA epoxy resin, and synthetic coring. The exceptional adhesive properties of BPA epoxy allow Tartan to eliminate the "fat" found in normal production boat hulls. Her structure is comprised of all high-tensile strength uni-directional fibers rather than the weak and heavy chopped-strand fiber that dominates the laminate of other builders. Through strict resin control, utilizing resin infusion, Tartan delivers a 65% structural glass reinforcement-to-resin ration while the vacuum-bagged "one shot" process provides a void-free laminate with pound-for-pound strength characteristics far greater than polyester laminates. The weight saved in the laminate can then be used for ballast and accommodations, improving both performance and comfort.
The 3400's deck also utilizes Tartan's custom resin infusion process, which employs high-strength BPA epoxy resin, uni-directional e-glass reinforcements and select grade, sealed, end grain balsa coring. Highly loaded hardware is fastened to the deck with stainless steel machine screws that pass through reinforced, solid glass core windows and are tapped into 6061 T6 aluminum backing plates. Beyond incredible strength and longevity, this installation allows "on-deck" servicing for deck hardware. Tartan's deck construction produces a lightweight, yet stiff and strong deck structure, further complimenting the 3400's excellent overall sailing characteristics.
The 3400's double-spreader, tapered, carbon-fiber mast is stiffer, stronger, and lighter than the aluminum masts found on virtually all production sailboats in her size range. These characteristics produce a rig that is easier to tune, remains stable in heavy air conditions, increases stability by decreasing weight aloft, and provides an easier motion in a seaway due to less pitching moment. While carbon masts remain an expensive option list item for other builders, Tartan delivers each boat with a carbon mast as standard equipment.Three keels to suit your needs
Using innovative geometry in the attachment area of the keel, three choices allow you to tailor-fit your Tartan 3400 to your sailing area. Additionally, the keels are interchangeable without hull modification, allowing maximum flexibility for now and the future. Change your sailing area, change your keel. If you decide to sell your 3400 her new owner can order a different keel match-made to his or her sailing area.
For those without draft restrictions the 6' 6" bulbed fin will offer optimal performance. The Tartan Beavertail keel offers excellent stability, righting moment, and good upwind performance with a mid-range draft of 4' 11". A Tartan trademark through the '70s and '80s, the keel/centerboard configuration is also available on the 3400 for those of you who sail in very shallow areas. The 4-foot, board-up draft allows gunkholing into shallow creeks and harbors, under sail or power, while the bulb shape and board-down draft of 6' 8" produce excellent stability and superb upwind performance.Sailing fast can be easy
The 3400's sail-handling equipment and overall rig design are aimed at achieving optimum performance with minimum hassle. The mast is built with a unique, integrated, low-friction track system, allowing the full-battened main to be easily raised and lowered within a lazy jack system. Custom-made for Tartan, the carbon-fiber boom is a "trough" design further aiding mainsail drops and mainsail flaking. To cover the main, simply pull over the boom-stored sailcover and you're done.
By optimizing the Tartan 3400's strength and weight characteristics and designing an easily driven hull the Tartan 3400's standard headsail can be a smart, roller-furling 100% jib, trimmed to a self-tacking cabintop track. This working sail, with the tack located just aft of the stem, is used for all upwind and heavy-air sailing while providing effortless tacking for sailing shorthanded or in a confined harbor. When sailing off the wind the optional high-clewed furling reacher can be deployed for top performance.
The Tartan 3400 pays tribute to her pedigree by embracing the strengths of her predecessors while capitalizing on the leading-edge construction techniques and equipment used by today's Tartan Yachts. With her plush accommodations, carbon mast and boom, a mainsail that raises and drops from its own cocoon, a rollerfurling, self-tacking, 100% jib defining simple elegance, and even a choice of three interchangeable keel configurations the Tartan 3400 will redefine the family performance cruiser. Optimal performance with minimal hassle, the way sailing is, not should be, when you sail a Tartan 3400.

The DA standstill monitor is a pulse evaluation system for safe detection of underspeed or standstill. It receives the pulses from the sensors connected on the inputs as pulse pick-ups and calculates the frequency. By continuously comparing the input frequency (actual value) and the switch point (preset value), the unit promptly detects underspeed or standstill.
For example, the standstill monitor can be used on a rotating machine part such as a drive, motor or shaft to determine whether it has been brought to a standstill due to a braking action. Any damage to persons or installations is reliably prevented.

Deserted village 'Malo Grablje' is located in the inland of the island of Hvar, three kilometers from the shore. It can be reached by road that leads through the canyon, whose cliffs shield the view towards the sea.
The village was founded in 16th century, and since then it was populated by the members of a single family that carries the surname Tudor. It is an interesting fact that the surname Tudor does not appear anywhere else in Croatia, and all the Tudors living today in Croatia originate from this village. The first recorded appearance of the Tudor surname on the island of Hvar is dated in 1597. Moreover there is a story about the begining of the village, the so-called 'Legend', that claims that the village was founded by a foreigner, who was the only survivor of a shipwreck of English sailing ship near the island, even suggesting that the foreigner might have been related to the British royal family. However, the story is most likely a fake, since there is no reliable historical evidences to support it.
Acording to 1880. census the village of Malo Grablje had 123 inhabitants, in 1953. recorded number of inhabitants was 115, in 1961. that number dropped down to only 6, and in 1971. the village was officially deserted, while the most of its former residents moved towards the sea side populating the settlement of Milna.

LaCie's 5big NAS Pro is a major upgrade to the company's previous
The 5big NAS Pro does have some shortcomings, however, including a spartan feature list and the lack of customization options. The sever also doesn't provide a way to quickly set up its hard drives into a RAID configuration.
All things considered, at the current price of some $500 (disk-less version, or $1,100 and $2,000 for 10TB and 20TB, respectively) it's an excellent choice if you're looking for a robust and easy-to-use network-based storage solution. For more options in terms of features, also check out the
Design and setup
The 5big NAS Pro looks exactly the same as the previous model, the LaCie 5big Network 2. With its cubelike design, the NAS server looks more decorative than you generally expect a storage device to be. On the front, there's the signature design touch found in all of LaCie's storage devices: a big, round LED blue indicator. This indicator light doubles as the server's power button.
On the back, the server has five drive bays to host five SATA standard 3.5-inch hard drives of any capacities. With hard drives currently capping at 4TB each, the server can offer up to 20TB of raw storage space. When used in a RAID setup, it offers up to 16TB of protected storage space.
The bays are locked in by a latch that can be opened with a coin. Once opened, each bay can be pulled out easily when you want to upgrade or replace the hard drive. While the latch can be opened with a coin, you do need a screwdriver to install or remove the drive from the tray.
The 5big NAS Pro supports three standard RAID configurations: RAID 0, RAID 5, and RAID 6. On top of that, it also comes with LaCie's new SimplyRAID configuration. (Read more on RAIDs.)
Similar to Synology's Hybrid RAID or Netgear's XRAID 2, LaCie's SimplyRAID automatically sets up hard drives in the best RAID configurations depending on the number of hard drives being used, to offer redundancy against a single-drive failure (at least two hard drives required) or two-drive failure (at least three hard drives required). (Read more on redundancy.). For example, when two hard drives are used, SimplyRAID is equivalent to a RAID 1, and when three drives or more are used, it will be similar to RAID 5 or RAID 6, depending on the user's choosing. In addition, SimplyRAID also allows for upgrading an existing RAID setup to larger capacities without having to rebuild the RAID from scratch, and using hard hard drives of different capacities in a RAID setup.
While SimplyRAID worked well in my trial, it takes a long time to set up. For example, it took almost a day to put five 2TB hard drives into a SimplyRAID setup. Expect it to take even longer if you use larger drives. In fact, other than RAID 0, which takes just a few minutes, the rest of the server's supported RAIDs take a long time to set up. This is not really a big deal if you can just let the server run overnight, but it's a hassle if you want to get the server up and running right away.
While it's common for RAID building to take a long time, other NAS servers, such as those from Synology, have a quick-mode option that lets you set up a RAID in just a matter of minutes regardless of how large the hard drives are.
If you choose to use SimplyRAID, note that it also takes a long time to upgrade/replace the hard drives (tens of hours for each) and you can only change one hard drive a time. This is again quite normal and similar to when you replace a hard drive in a standard RAID setup. The server is still working during the upgrade, just at a slower speed.

Mountain Province Diamonds Announces Tuzo Deep Diamond Recovery Results
Nov 08, 2012, 09:00 ET
Tuzo Deep Grade Potential Over 3 Carats per Tonne
Shares Issued and Outstanding: 80,715,558
TORONTO AND NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. ("Mountain Province", the "Company") (TSX: MPV, NYSE MKT: MDM) is pleased to announce the microdiamond recovery results from the Tuzo Deep drill program completed in April 2012. The Tuzo Deep drill program defined the depth extension of the Tuzo kimberlite pipe over approximately 214 meters from the bottom of the current resource at 350 meters to a depth of 564 meters. Recovery of microdiamonds from the kimberlite intersects was undertaken by caustic fusion methods performed at the Geoanalystical Laboratories Diamond Services of the Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC"), which is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard by the Standards Council of Canada as a testing laboratory for diamond analysis using caustic fusion. The microdiamonds recovered by the SRC were then forwarded to the De Beers Kimberley Microdiamond Laboratory ("KMDL") for re-weighing of minus 0.3mm diamonds.
Patrick Evans, Mountain Province Diamonds President and CEO, commented: "Gahcho Kué is already the world's largest and richest new diamond mine. The diamond recovery results from the Tuzo Deep drill program confirm the potential for Gahcho Kué to be even larger and richer. The microdiamond results indicate the potential for the grade to increase to over 3 carats per tonne below 350 meters, which if confirmed would place Gahcho Kué amongst the richest of all known diamond deposits".
The combined SRC and KMDL caustic fusion diamond results for samples taken from Tuzo Deep are summarized below in Table 1.

On July 3, 2012, Mountain Province announced that the results of the Tuzo Deep drilling indicate the potential for an increase in the Tuzo pipe volume by approximately 4.58 million cubic meters to approximately 11.78 million cubic meters. With an average density of at least 2.40 grams per cubic centimeter, a pipe volume increase of approximately 5 million cubic meters would be equivalent to an increase of approximately 12.4 million tonnes over 214 meters from a depth of 350 meters to 564 meters.
This estimate is based on the volcanological boundaries of the Tuzo pipe and includes areas of country rock dilution. Volume and tonnage of economic kimberlite will only be available after the internal geological model is constructed. Detailed petrological analysis is scheduled for completion next month. The results from the Tuzo Deep drill program will be integrated into a revised geological model for the pipe. It is estimated that an updated independent NI 43-101 resource statement incorporating the Tuzo Deep results will be available in Q1 2013.
Mr. Evans added: "Last winter's drill program was designed to define the depth extension of the Tuzo kimberlite to 750 meters. The flattening of the inclined drill holes as they entered kimberlite resulted in the depth extension being defined to only 564 meters. The potential exists for the kimberlite to remain open to depth well below 564 meters, which could add significant tonnage to the resource."
The current Tuzo Indicated Resource, grading 1.21 carats pet tonne, is from surface to a depth of 300 meters. The Inferred Resource, with an average grade of 1.75 carats per tonne, is from a depth of 300 meters to 350 meters. The increase in grade to depth is attributable to a generally lower degree of dilution as well as a coarser diamond distribution.
A March 2012 independent valuation of the Tuzo diamonds recovered from previous bulk sampling indicates an actual value per carat of $316 and a modeled value of $104 per carat. The largest and most valuable diamond recovered to date from the Gahcho Kué project comes from the Tuzo kimberlite. The 25.13 carat diamond is an octahedron of H color which has been valued independently at $20,000 per carat.
The Tuzo kimberlite is one of four known kimberlites within the Gahcho Kué joint venture with De Beers Canada Inc. Three of the four kimberlites (5034, Hearne and Tuzo) have a Probable Reserve of 31.3 million tonnes with a fully diluted grade of 1.57 carats per tonne, for total diamond content of 49 million carats. Based on this reserve, the Joint Venture is currently permitting the first mine which is expected to produce an average of 4.5 million carats per year for the first 11 years.
Mountain Province today also announced the retirement of Mr. Harry Dobson as a director of the Company. Mountain Province chairman, Mr. Jonathan Comerford, said: "Mr. Dobson has been a director of Mountain Province for more than 15 years and has made an enormous contribution to the success of the Company. We will miss his wise counsel and wish him well in retirement."
About Mountain Province Diamonds: Gahcho Kué is the world's largest and richest new diamond development project. A December 2010 feasibility study filed by Mountain Province (available on SEDAR) indicates that the Gahcho Kué project has an IRR of 33.9%.
Mountain Province is a 49% participant with De Beers Canada in the Gahcho Kué JV located at Kennady Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories. The Gahcho Kué Project consists of a cluster of four diamondiferous kimberlites, three of which have a probable mineral reserve of 31.3 million tonnes grading 1.57 carats per tonne for total diamond content of 49 million carats.

bartlett scribeva:With respect to Esperanto, again, I maintain that it is the 300-kilo gorilla in the room.
Interesting note for any fellow ESL people: I wasn't familiar with this idiom but assumed it meant the same as "elephant ...". But I now see that that's not the case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/800_pound_gorilla
My observation has been that many Esperantists: 1) have little knowledge of any other constructed language(s); and/or 2) ignore them as "not serious" or "not real language(s)" (merely "projects" while Esperanto is a "real" language); and/or 3) hold them in contempt; and/or 4) consider that E-o is so far out in the lead that advocates of any other conIALs simply ought to give up and support E-o on the assertion that it is the only one with any faint hope of success.
I haven't dealt much with Eo speakers, but I have a feeling you're right. But in my opinion the key word here is "many (Esperantists)" - there certainly are exceptions. For instance, many Ia'ists of my acquaintance used to be Esperantists who switched to Ia once they became aware of its existence - typically because Ia's more natural quality pleased them.
I have also met (a few) open minded Esperantists who wanted to learn more about Interlingua. Some of course have no problem "adhering" to both languages (or even more than those).
Concerning social media, yes, it is possible that even some of us older individuals might be able to learn to use them, but also there is the issue that those Interlinguaists who there are outside of Europe tend be be in widely differing time zones, so this is a matter of consideration for "live" interaction.
You're right - that should be taken into consideration when planning such sessions.
Also, I grant that some Interlinguaists may not have the opportunity to speak the language frequently, so it could well be that when they get together it may take them some time to "get up to speed" (as we say in the USA).
You mean when they get together on-line? Sure, but that's only natural, right?
I have never had the experience, but it is possible that with some opportunity I might be able to understand more spoken I-gua, given the chance to do so (although again, as an older person, I have troublesome hearing), and still might make a fool of myself if I were to try to speak it.
Making a fool of yourself once in a while is a human right and privilege in my opinion!
But of course, I do understand what you are saying!
Again, it seems to me that in my own situation (as an older person), I ought to pick one language as a preference and do less with any others,
I see what you mean, I'm just not sure why it has to be a very long term (or even life long?) commitment, if that's what you're saying?
inasmuch as I do not expect to see a "final victory" (to use an Esperantist term)
for any one of them in my lifetime. But which? I genuinely esteem both Interlingua and Esperanto.
I know that was a rhetorical question, and you have no doubt already thought of the following considerations, but I'll still try to answer.
I suppose it must be a question of not only which language pleases you the most (esthetically) but also which features of an IAL are most important to you.
For instance, if you want to be part of a larger community with plenty of opportunity for correspondence and (text) chat and plenty of reading materials, that of course must speak in favor of Eo.
On the other hand, the fact that Interlingua's vocabulary is (at least an attempt of) a neutral standardization of the international vocabulary definitely speaks in favor of it, at least in my book.
From a selfish point of view I would of course hope that you would choose Interlingua!
What ever you do choose, you can always change your mind later on.

|Honor killings in Turkey provide a crucial case for studying the interplay between gender, law, the state and civil society. The characteristics of the Turkish modernization made legal reform an important source of social change. I build on legal studies in order to provide a sociological analysis of the reproduction of the gender order through the law. For this purpose, I focus on civil societal actors that advocate for legal reform and law enforcement. I conceptualize law not only as an instrument of state policies but also as an opportunity and advocacy cause for civil societal actors. I suggest that the limits of legal reform cannot be explained solely by a legal analysis without understanding the gendered nature of the relationship between the civil society and the state. The predominant norms reflect the gender order that subjugates women through discourses on honor and shame. These discourses also constrain the expression of subaltern norms advocated by civil societal actors in the public sphere. In this regard, these actors pursue legal reform not only to press for concrete policy changes, but also as a means to enhance their political capacity. I argue that the activities of civil societal organizations, the methods they employ and primary areas of operation are determined according to their relation to the state. Claims of independence generally relate to issues of funding, where the sources of funds are thought to manipulate the outcome of projects. The effectiveness and outreach of an NGO are related to its relation to the state and its collaboration with state institutions. The situatedness of each civil societal organization reflects its ideological discourse and determines its strategy and methods. This is a framework where the interplay between the civil societal actors and the state shape the space for politics.; State-induced legal reforms do not suffice to provide gender equality unless the social organization of the society and mechanisms of regulation are altered in ways that have repercussions in all state related institutions, such as the law, family, and education system. Civil societal actors, in this case, women's NGOs, monitor the implementation of and enforce the law in collaboration with state agencies, and through international and transnational networks. They thus gain public visibility and political power to challenge the gender order.

Rays stifled again in rematch with D-backs' Miley
Walks prove costly for Hellickson; Longoria clubs solo shot
PHOENIX -- Wade Miley wasn't as perplexing on Tuesday night at Chase Field as the D-backs' left-hander had been last week at Tropicana Field.
Nevertheless, the results were just the same as Miley led the D-backs to a 6-1 win over the Rays with 19,458 watching.
"He was good," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "But we hit the ball a lot better tonight. We were a little bit unlucky offensively."
The Rays (66-46) are now 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Red Sox in the American League East despite winning 13 of their past 18 games. However, they have lost three of their last five games after winning 19 of their previous 22. And while they suffered their fourth loss against a National League club this season, the Rays' .750 Interleague winning percentage (12-4) remains the best in the Major Leagues.
Last Wednesday, Miley threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings in the D-backs' 7-0 win. On Tuesday night, he allowed one run on five hits in seven innings to claim his ninth win of the season.
Miley has been on a bit of a roll lately, pitching to a 1.54 ERA in his past seven starts. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 12 straight starts since June 5.
"I've just been more aggressive, confident and going after guys," Miley said. "Trying not to do too much. Earlier I was getting upset with myself over one or two minor mistakes, and it caused things to escalate. There are times when I get too quick and I just have to step off and regroup. When I get in a rhythm and get guys out early, that's when I have success."
The one blemish on Miley's line Tuesday night came when Evan Longoria hit his 22nd home run of the season, a solo shot with one out in the fourth. The home run was his first in a National League park since June 26, 2011, at Houston. He is a career .309 hitter with 11 home runs on the road during Interleague Play.
Longoria's home run, though well appreciated given the tailspin that the Rays' slugger has been in lately, wasn't nearly enough. The D-backs answered in the bottom half of the inning with some help from Jeremy Hellickson, who walked the leadoff batter, Paul Goldschmidt.
Eric Chavez's RBI double tied the score before Hellickson again became his worst enemy by walking Aaron Hill.
"To walk Goldschmidt to start the inning is not a good thing," Maddon said. "And then Chavez, 3-1 double, that's not a good thing."
Cody Ross followed with his eighth home run of the season to put the D-backs up, 4-1.
"We got that run, then Helly gave up that four-spot," Maddon said. "That really took the momentum away from us and made them better. Had we been able to put up a zero in the fourth after the homer, I think it could have been a different game because we had a lot of hard outs. We hit some balls really well for outs. So I liked our approach better vs. Miley tonight. But the four-spot did hurt."
Ross complimented the quality of Hellickson's pitches.
"To be honest with you, when I first faced Hellickson I had a tough time, he's got good stuff," Ross said. "He locates the ball well and his changeup is as good as anybody's in the game. Luckily for me, he left a fastball over the middle, it probably wasn't a good pitch for him, and I was able to get some good wood on it. He's good though, he's a really good pitcher."
Hellickson took his second consecutive loss -- both against the D-backs -- after allowing five runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings.
"When you get behind in the count to guys who are pretty good hitters, that can put you behind the eight ball," Maddon said. "He's very capable of getting ahead of those guys and getting those guys out. Overall the command within the strike zone is probably not that good right now."
Uncharacteristically, Hellickson has given up five walks and nine runs in his past two starts. The road loss was his first since April 25 against the White Sox in Chicago, and the five earned runs were the most he has allowed since June 13 when he allowed eight against the Royals. While he did manage to record his first career hit when he singled with two outs in the fifth, he took no solace in his bat work, which would have been celebrated by all of the pitchers had the Rays won.
"I feel good," Hellickson said. "My command's just a little off right now. It's pretty embarrassing not to be able to get through the fifth two games in a row. Just have to move on and just go get them Sunday."
