Rdio update brings personalized stations, revamped player
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Internet, Music, Software,
Rdio is one of Gear Live's favorite things, and the recent revamping of its Stations feature has brought the music streaming service to a whole new level. Rdio users can now create up to ten different stations that focus on an artist, song, or one of 400 different sub-genres of music. Additionally, there's a custom station called You FM that takes cues from your listening history, Facebook likes, track votes, and Twitter follows to create a station that is specifically tailored to what you like. When listening to You FM, you can also choose between five levels of familiarity, allowing you to stick with what you know, or be more adventurous when you want to discover something new. A player redesign rounds out the rest of the update, which applies to the iOS, Android, and Mac apps, as well as the in-browser experience.
If you're an Rdio user (and you should be,) be sure to follow Gear Live's Rdio station.

Syrian Electronic Army strikes VoIP provider Viber
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Corporate News, Internet,
The Syrian Electronic Army strikes again at another VoIP provider, this time, Viber. We reported the cyber attacks on Tango, now it seems that the pro-Assad militant cyber group claims allegedly that it was able to download backups of Viber's database, which includes but it's not limited to phone numbers, device IDs and, supposedly, push notification tokens. Along with the purported intrusion, some Viber pages have been defaced. Viber has come forward and has stated that the intrusion is mostly harmless to customers of their VoIP services since they claim that the most vital user information is kept in a different database that can't be exploited by outsider threats. As always, Viber requests that 200,000 users be vigilant and report any suspicious activity with their accounts.
Today the Viber Support site was defaced after a Viber employee unfortunately fell victim to an email phishing attack. The phishing attack allowed access to two minor systems: a customer support panel and a support administration system. Information from one of these systems was posted on the defaced page.
It is very important to emphasize that no sensitive user data was exposed and that Viber's databases were not "hacked". Sensitive, private user information is kept in a secure system that cannot be accessed through this type of attack and is not part of our support system.
We take this incident very seriously and we are working right now to return the support site to full service for our users. Additionally, we want to assure all of our users that we are reviewing all of our policies to make sure that no such incident is repeated in the future. - Viber

Apple iTunes hits 1 billionth podcast subscription
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Internet,
Apple is celebrating the fact that it has surpassed 1 billion podcast subscriptions in iTunes, quite an impressive milestone. Apple added podcasts to iTunes back in 2005, which has offered everyone the ability to market alternative radio and video shows for users. iTunes now has about 250,000 different podcasts in over 100 different languages, including shows like 60 Minutes, NPR, Ted Talks, NBC Nightly News, and even our own Bleeding Edge TV and Unboxing Live.
"From comedy to hard news to sports to innovative educational content and so much more, podcasting has transformed the global media landscape," - Apple

Apple announces iWork for iCloud with Office document support
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Internet, Microsoft, Software,
During yesterday's WWDC 2013 keynote, Apple's Roger Rosner took the stage to show off iWork for iCloud, a new feature coming to iCloud later this fall. The new cloud productivity suite, now available to Apple developers in beta, allows users to create and edit Numbers, Keynote, and Pages documents right in the web browser, regardless of browser or operating system. This gives Windows users the ability to create and edit iWork documents for the first time.
During the demo, it was revealed that the iWork for iCloud suite will be feature-rich, allowing users to drag-and-drop images right into the app, and use multitouch gestures to manipulate media. Additionally, iWork for iCloud allows users to add and edit Microsoft Office documents for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This makes it easy for users of multiple platforms to work with documents without missing out on essential features.

Rdio brings new iOS app design to Mac and web apps
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, Internet, Music,
Rdio has updated its web and Mac apps with the new Now Playing view. Click the list icon at the bottom right, and the entire app becomes a stylized, blurry album cover in the background, with the actual art up front to the left, and the album tracks or playlist over to the right, allowing you to see what's coming up in your queue. We are big fans of Rdio here at Gear Live, and find it to be superior to Spotify in many ways. Rdio charges $4.99 per month for desktop and web browser access, while mobile streaming can be added, costing a total of $9.99 per month. Hit the Read More link to download the Rdio app.

Arrested Development season 4 now available on Netflix
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet,
Just a quick PSA: Netflix has released the fourth season of Arrested Development earlier this morning. That means that you can spend the rest of your Memorial Day weekend enjoying the long-awaited final chapter in the story of the Bluth family. It's taken seven years to get here, so we won't blame you if you go on a bit of a binge, powering through all 15 episodes. Arrested Deelopment aired on Fox between 2003 and 2006, and was one of those shows plagued by low ratings, which later developed a massive following through DVD sales. Due to the increased popularity and demand from the fans, Netflix snapped up the rights, making it the newest Netflix Original.

Yahoo unleashes Flickr redesign, users get 1TB free storage
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Design, Internet,
Yahoo just completely redesigned its Flickr photo sharing service, putting the images front and center, and giving each user a full 1TB of data. That's right--every Flickr user get 1 full terabyte of data to store their images. As Flickr says, "we want all of your images," according to Adam Cahan, Yahoo SVP. The point here is that FLickr is offering you up to 7- times more storage space than other sites, stores your photos in full resolution, and can hold about 537,731 of your images. That is simply unmatched by any other Yahoo competitor. In fact, at Google I/O last week, Google was excited to announce 15GB of storage for your images--a full 985GB less than what Flickr is now offering.
Alongside the Flickr redesign, there's now a new Android app. The iOS app was recently updated as well. What do you think of the new Flickr? Awesome? Too little, too late? Sound off in the comments!

Copy cloud storage aims to overtake Dropbox with Fair Storage, more space
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, Storage,
Copy is a new cloud storage service, and it's got its sights directly on upheaving Dropbox as the cloud king. With Copy, you keep your files in sync across devices and get a web interface with easy sharing (including mobile devices,) similar to what you get with Dropbox. However, it differs in a couple of key areas that make Copy seem like a much better offering:
- When you share files with other Copy users, that space isn't docked from both accounts. With Dropbox, if you share a 1GB file, both you and the person you share with now have 1GB less storage space.
- When you sign up for Copy, you get 15GB of space right off the bat. With Dropbox, you get 5GB.
- Each time you refer a friend to sign up for copy, you are granted another 5GB, with no limit. Dropbox only gives you an extra 500MB, and has a hard referral bonus of 16GB.
Wanna give it a try? It's free, and it's great. Head on over to Copy to sign up - use this link, and you'll start out with 20GB free instead of 15GB!

You can now attach money to your Gmail messages
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Google, Internet,
Google is making the practice of sending money to friends as easy as attaching a document to an email. Using Gmail, you'll be able to attach cash money to your emails using your Google Wallet account, for free. The nice thing is that you don't have to have funds on your account to do this--you can just have a bank account attached to your Wallet account. Recipients of your paper won't need to have a Gmail account, which is one more thing you don't need to worry about, and anyone you send money to can return it to you as well. Google is rolling out the feature now to Gmail users over the age of 18. Check out a video that explains it all, after the break.

The bed and breakfast establishments of New Bern along Pollock Street offer year-round lodging for visitors of the city�s lucrative tourist trade.
The bed and breakfast establishments of New Bern along Pollock Street offer year-round lodging for visitors of the city�s lucrative tourist trade.
But, each December, the Aerie Bed and Breakfast leads the way in a holiday open house, which highlights the amenities amid the splendor of holiday decorations.
The Aerie, which has been doing the open house for 11 years, was joined this year by five other inns this past Sunday � The Harmony House Inn Bed and Breakfast, the Hanna House Bed and Breakfast, The Meadows Inn Bed and Breakfast and The Captain�s Stay.
The Aerie was decorated inside and out, with caroling sisters April Adams and Erica Anderson greeting visitors from a balcony above the main entrance.
Inside, there were costumed historical character actors portraying King George and Caleb Bradham, along with Santa.
Among the early visitors were former Aerie owners Howard and Dee Smith, who operated it for seven years.
�We still love the inn and we still love the owners,� she said of proprietors Marty and Michael Gunhus.
The Smiths said the house � Officially The Street-Ward House � was built in 1882 with its distinctive late-Victorian cross-gabled roof style.
It was built for Samuel Street, a justice of the peace and manager of the Gaston Hotel on Middle Street.
It was later bought by Alfred Ward for his family, which included a daughter, Mary, born in 1900. She lived there her entire life until she died in 1979.
Marty Gunhus said Ward was instrumental in the establishment of the rebuilt Tryon Palace in the 1950s and involved in many city civic activities.
During World War II, the seven guest rooms were apartments.
In 1986, it was renovated by Louis and Carol Taylor as the first owners of the house as a bed and breakfast.
When the Streets bought the house in the 1990s, the d�cor had a theme of eagles, thus the name Aerie, or eagle�s roost.
The Streets had a colonial revival look, which was followed for a short period after they sold it to that of the Civil War.
Gunhus describes the current d�cor as �elegant Victorian� since she and her husband bought it in 2002.
The Gunhus� have added a 1908 vintage Colonial Revival house across the street to the Aerie complex. It is now the guest house and conference center.

Even fairly recently, Bridge tried to be recognised as a sport by Sport England, so as that it could receive funding too. However, this was turned down as they said it was no more a sport thanEuropean Sports Charter (2009) wrote: 1. For the purpose of this Charter:
a. "Sport" means all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels.
This is despite the fact that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognises the World Bridge Federation as a sports organisation, so is subject to the same regulatory environment as any other sport.Mr Justice Dove wrote:"sitting at home, reading a book"
So what, in your opinion, is a sport? What would you say is a fundamental requirement for something to be classed as a sport? What would you say is/is not a sport?
Personally, I think there needs to be more elements to it than just being a competition to be called a sport. Like, its hard to draw a line and say when something stops becoming a game and becomes a sport. Does a sport have to require physical exertion of some kind? I would say yes, for me.
For Bridge, I think it was a bridge too far to classify it as a sport. Plus, its relatively cheap to organise as the equipment does not cost much so I don't understand exactly why they needed access to the funding (as that seemed to be the main thing they were after in this).
However, this doesn't take away from the intelligence and thought behind games such as chess, chinese chess, bridge etc. Skill is required with these games, but they are "mind sports" if you wanted to classify them.

The township of Middleton in Lancashire is of particular historical importance to the family. "In the reign of Henry III., Hubert de Burgh, (c. 1170-1243) Earl of Kent, lord chief justice of England, had a grant of the whole of Wyresdale, with remainder to his heirs: he left two sons, from one of whom descended the Burghs or Borroughs, of Gainsborough; and it is probable that William de Burgh, of Middleton, who died about 1323, was descended also from the chief justice." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Stock sectors that could do well if Democrats win in November have been outpacing those that might be in favor if Republicans get control of the White House and Senate, according to an index created by LPL Financial.
"The move towards Democrats started back in April and May," said Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL. But since the Supreme Court upheld health care legislation in June, it moved more dramatically in favor of the Democratic camp.
Kleintop said LPL analysts assigned major S&P industry sectors to both the Democrats and Republicans.
To track what the market has priced in for the Democrats odds of retaining the White House and Senate, they then divided the Democrats index by the Republican index.
An upward sloping line shows the market may be pricing in better odds of Democrats winning, while a downward sloping line shows better chances for the Republicans. (Read More: Guess Which President Has Been Best for Stocks?)
Democrats were assigned health care facilities; food and staples retailing; gas utilities; health care services; life sciences tools and services; construction materials; homebuilding and construction and farm machinery.
Republican sectors are coal and consumable fuelds; diversified financial services; oil and gas exploration; oil and gas drilling; managed care; electric utilities; specialty retail, and telecommunications services.
The outperformance of homebuilders has clearly helped the Democratic stocks. For instance, Pulte Homes , up 154 percent year-to-date, is the best performing S&P 500 stock so far this year.
"We've had more momentum in housing, and I think people are feeling a little wealthier that way," said Kleintop. said the momentum in housing has helped the homebuilder stocks, a Democratic sector. Other homebuilders, like Hovnanian , Lennar and KB Homes are also up sharply. (Read More: Why Aren't Candidates Talking More About Housing?)
Even while domestic oil and gas production has increased dramatically in the four years that President Obama has been in the White House, Kleintop said the industry would be treated more favorably on a regulatory basis by Republicans. The energy sector, as a whole, is up 9.6 percent year-to-date.
Dividend plays, such as utilities and telecom names, are seen doing better under Republicans, since they would retain the Bush tax breaks on dividends. The S&P utilities sector is flat, up just 0.1 percent year-to-date.
Some analysts see a tax-related sell off if Republicans don't win.
"I think the key for the election basically is the Congressional outcome, particularly the Senate, because the market is focused now on what happens with tax policy on dividends and capital gains. The market is looking for a Republican outcome," said David Bianco, Deutsche Bank chief equity strategist. "If it gets one, I think the rally continues."
Republicans also favor keeping the lower capital gains, as well as the dividend rate, that expire Dec. 31, unless extended, and Bianco expects a post-election selloff if Democrats retain control of the Senate.

I would like to respond to Ronald Hopkins' letter, "Writer: House criminals in nursing homes," in the May 30 edition of The Lancaster News.
First of all, I am sorry he had a bad experience with a nursing home. And I feel, as he does, that our prison system rewards those who do not obey the laws. But he is wrong to say that nursing homes give poor care and residents are treated badly.

Churaumi Aquarium: Okinawa's riveting sea show
Scores of silhouettes stand in the blue glow of the Kuroshio Sea Tank, only 60 centimeters of acrylic separating them from a mini-ocean filled with creatures great and small.
Smartphones gleam like beacons in the dark, cavernous room, on standby to capture photos once the show starts.
A woman appears on a screen that hangs next to the tank.
"Mina-san, hi, hi," she says in Japanese, welcoming everyone. She's behind the scenes, perched above the water and gearing up for feeding time.
Three whale sharks glide back and forth in the 7,500-cubic-meter tank as manta rays, nurse sharks and all manner of fish -- giant grouper, yellowfin tuna, yellow and blueback fusilier -- weave around them. The announcer provides more commentary (in Japanese) before staff start dumping plankton and shrimp into the tank by the bucketful.
The whale sharks open their mammoth mouths and keep on swimming.
"It's eating, look it's eating," I hear one man say to the little girl who's sitting on his shoulders. "That's a big fish."
Whale sharks are, in fact, the biggest fish in the world. But they're filter feeders, so watching them chow down is about as exciting as watching a plant suck in carbon dioxide. Still, seeing them do anything in this kind of setting is considered a rare treat.
The experts at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium say captive reproduction "has been fraught with difficulties" and that they've managed to house multiple whale sharks in a tank.
The oldest, which is about 17, came to the aquarium years ago after fishermen caught it in a net. It now measures 8.5 meters long and weighs 5.5 tons.
"I've been to quite a few aquariums in different cities, but never seen a whale shark in an aquarium," says Tracy Ruggiero, a tourist from Hawaii. "It's beautiful."
Full-day experience
The people who run the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium agree with Ruggiero. They tacked on the word for beautiful in the Okinawan dialect (chura) to the facility's name when it reopened in November 2002 after extensive renovations.
The aquarium, which began operating in 1975, is the main attraction at Ocean Expo Park, a sprawling coastal complex in the town of Motobu (30 minutes by car from Nago, two hours from Naha). The national government park also includes beaches, tropical and subtropical arboretums, a sea observatory and a native Okinawan village.
"It takes a day to walk around," says my guide, Keiko Gibo.
We start off at the Dolphin Lagoon, joining hundreds of people who are here to check out the performance. Staff in wetsuits use arm gestures and whistles to get the mammals to flip and dive, wave their tails and bob their heads, eliciting oohs, aahs and applause from the audience.
The dolphins jump through hula hoops and over poles, reaching heights of 5.5 meters, the ocean backdrop so close you'd think a simple twist in the air could propel them back into the sea and to freedom.
Diversity of the sea
Dolphin shows aren't for everyone, and sea enthusiasts may find themselves spending most of their time inside the aquarium, which welcomes nearly 3 million people a year.
Along with the Kuroshio Sea Tank, named after the warm ocean current that caresses the Okinawa islands, visitors can also see the world's first large-scale exhibit of coral reproduction, made up of more than 800 different coral colonies.
It's home to 200 types of tropical fish with colors that span the spectrum: humphead parrotfish, blue angelfish, five-lined snapper, orange stripe surgeonfish, clown anemonefish.
"Kirei, kirei," cries one woman, repeating the Japanese word for pretty as she snaps photos with her smartphone. The fish stare back silently.
The creatures in the aquarium's deep sea exhibit aren't what many would consider pretty, but they're interesting. Seventy rare species, such as blacksail snake mackerels, ruby snappers, lantern fish and sea spiders live in this dimly lit area. Most have been collected from depths of 200 meters off the shores of Okinawa.
At the shallow Touch Pool, unwitting volunteers such as starfish, cushion stars and sea cucumbers are picked up and put down by hundreds of people a day. A visit to the aquarium makes for a long day, perhaps for them most of all.

About Connect
"Everybody wants to be heard. Everybody wants to be seen. Everybody wants to be known, and everybody's got some dreams." At first glance, the title "Formerly Known" will strike a chord with anyone who has been following Andy Mineo's music. Those who know about the name change from C-lite to Andy Mineo will get it, but that only scratches the surface of the much deeper meaning of the title. Each of us long to be understood, loved, and known. Most of us spend the majority of our lives pursuing people, places, and things that we believe can offer this kind of comfort. Andy's hope is that this project will point people to the answer to those longings. We were made to have fellowship with the God that created us and knows us better than we know ourselves. The God that knew us before we were formed in our mothers womb. The God that knows every hair on our head. The God that makes us a new creation.

Staring directly at the sun can be dangerous, but with the specially designed equipment at the Perkins Observatory, not only is it safe, it's also the focus of a three-weekend-long celebration.
Staring directly at the sun can be dangerous, but with the specially designed equipment at the Perkins Observatory, not only is it safe, it's also the focus of a three-weekend-long celebration.
Each July, the observatory changes up its typical weekly astronomy programs to recognize the long days of summer and host what it calls the Celebration of the Sun.
"We started doing these Saturday-afternoon programs because of that pesky daylight savings time that leads to a lack of darkness in July," said observatory Director Tom Burns.
During the Saturday celebrations, visitors use glasses and special telescopes to view the sun, then may take tours of the observatory and launch model rockets.
Eclipse glasses will be on hand to demonstrate the size of the sun, making the 93-million-mile distance between Earth and the sun more relatable, Burns said.
"Astronomers say you could fit 1.3 million Earths inside the sun," he said. "That doesn't mean much to anyone, so we try to show that in a practical way."
Add rainbow glasses on top of those eclipse glasses and visitors will see the true colors of the sun, which Burns said usually comes as a surprise to most viewers.
"You hear people say all the time that the sun is a yellow star, but we will prove to them that it is not," he said.
A white-light telescope can be used to look at sun spots and other detailed features of the day star. The light telescope that Burns built 25 years ago also is able to cast a shadow on the sun, giving it a three-dimensional look that is unique among astronomical objects, he said.
To view explosions caused by the constant uplifting of gases on the sun, visitors can look through a hydrogen alpha telescope.
"The hot upliftings of gas being carried along by the magnetic field of the sun is probably the best part of looking at the sun," Burns said. "They come in all shapes. Some even look like trees sprouting up on the sun."
Burns will kick off each Saturday program by discussing what stars are and how they fit into galaxy. Including his talk, there are about two hours of scheduled programming, but Burns said visitors are invited to linger.
The observatory, an extension of Ohio Wesleyan University, features a gift shop, a library, children's room and static displays and exhibits.
The special Saturday programming, which begins at 4 p.m. July 13, 20 and 27, will afford visitors not just a rare look at the sun, but at the observatory as well.
"The nice thing about doing the tour of the observatory when its daylight is that you can see the 25,000-pound doors opening and you can see the dome spinning around," Burns said.
During nighttime programming, the observatory is completely dark.
"I have seen the roof opening in daylight a thousand times and I still get that sense of vertigo that I'm spinning and not the dome," Burns said.
Just 80 tickets are available for each Celebration of the Sun program. They can be purchased in advance online and cost $8 for adults, $5 for children and seniors.

What's New
Lexington Font by Canada Type
A revival and major expansion of a 1926 Ludwig Wagner Schriftgiesserei typeface called Titanic, Lexington is the ultimate art deco expression of the high times of signage and theater during the first half of the twentieth century. Big feminine caps and cozy direct minuscules make for a unique combination rarely found in other deco faces.
Topped off with the humorous and quite suave tall and pointy ascenders and descenders of the alternates, Lexington makes for a versatile and uniquely eye-catching display face beneficial to poster art, book covers, classy menus, product packaging and music paraphernalia.
The original specimen Hans van Maanen worked from showed the majuscules, minuscules, figures, and 4 alternates of some ascending minuscules. This new digital version includes all of the above, plus many more additions:
- Plenty more alternates, for come caps as well as for all the ascending and descending lowercase. - Three different size variations for the comma and the period. - Oldstyle figures. - A full complement of accented characters to support more Latin-based languages than ever, including Baltic, Celtic, Turkish, and Central/Eastern European languages. - A Handtooled style variations that covers both the main character set and the alternates.
Lexington was named after Manhattan's Lexington Avenue, home of the some of the most famous and polished art deco architecture of the 1920s and 1930s.
Lexington and Lexington Handtooled come in all popular font formats. The OpenType versions combine their respective alternates with the main character sets, for ease of use within OpenType-savvy applications.

The origins of science lie in the study we call philosophy which itself is traced back through traditions of wisdom. Here a look at al Farabi's description of wisdom and the history of philosophy.
This article by Professor Mubahat Turker-Kuyel, was first published in the Turkish review Erdem, 18 (1990). Ankara 1992, pp. 737-747. We are grateful to Imran Baba, editor of Erdem for allowing publication.
Al-Fârâbî says that philosophy comes to us from the ancient Greeks, [1]especially from Plato and Aristotle who have founded and perfected it.[2]
Historians of philosophy begin their studies, after citing the name of Homer, with those of the "Seven Sages" among whom Thales is cited first. All the people who are interested in philosophy know that the word philosophy is compounded from two words philia, that is quest and love and sophos that is wisdom. It seems that the word philosophy is an invention of the Pythagoreans.[3]
In the literature, the following questions have been asked rather frequently: "What is wisdom?" "What is the relation between wisdom and philosophy?" "Is this wisdom an invention of ancient Greeks or contributions from other cultures?" It seems to me that it is possible to ask these questions now with reference to Plato, Aristotle, Beressos, Ibn Newbakht, al-Fârâbî, Ibn Maymun, Roger Bacon, Miklosh Daczi Yanos, [4]and, to the recent studies on ancient Mesopotamia.[5]
In this article, we ask all these questions and we utilize the works of al-Fârâbî, his definitions and his terms as a reference source. And we see, that according to him, wisdom has come to us from the Chaldeans; and that it is the basis of philosophy and science, as well as religion, and, that it makes the distinction between that which is intelligible with certainty, and religion which lets us know the truth by image through similitude and offers us conviction, belief and persuasion. The starting point of al-Fârâbî in these subjects is certainly found in his very important little book, entitled "The Conditions of Certain Truth."[6] All these aspects reveal the beginning of the history of philosophy.
As regards to the ancient or new bibliographic and bio-bibliographic sources[7]it is well-known that al-Fârâbî has written many treatises on the definitions of philosophy, its appearance in the world, its transmission from one culture to another and the meaning of the philosopher's names, as well as which things are necessary before beginning to study philosophy.[8]We have at hand some of these books, while we do not have some others.[9]But al-Fârâbî has, always, taken these subjects into consideration directly or indirectly in his main books.[10]At the same time he has given to us the definitions of wisdom and philosophy. The following are the definitions of the human not divine wisdom given by al-Fârâbî to us:
- "Wisdom is the knowledge about the First One from whom all the creatures have gotten their virtues and perfections." [11]
- "Wisdom is the knowledge about the ultimate and supreme principles of creatures." [12]
- "Wisdom is the veneration before the most venerable subject by knowing it by means of the most venerable knowledge." [13]
- "Wisdom is searching on the ultimate happiness." [14]
- "Wisdom is the virtue of the parts of the rational soul [15]such as intelligence, reason, understanding, cleverness, just as courage, righteousness and altruism are the virtues of the parts of the animal soul like lust and passion."[16]Indeed, according to al-Fârâbî, the virtues are either "theoretical" or "deliberative" or "moral" or "practical" for all people or "nations" (Milla).
All previously mentioned definitions of wisdom are essentially the same although they seem different at first glance. This is because the theoretical virtue of man and his searching for "certain truth" is wisdom in itself. [17]
We could appreciate this point also in taking into account the outlines of the philosophy of al-Fârâbî and his definitions of philosophy.
It is well known that, according to the philosophical views of al-Fârâbî, existence per se is only for God Himself. This means that God exists necessarily, while His creatures exist only by God. God is the one and absolute existent per autrui whose essence is His own existence. [18]God possesses wisdom and intellect. Thinking His essence, God, gives their existence to His creatures as well as to man. Therefore, from the First One emanates the Intellect, the Soul and the Matter. The essence of God being wisdom, and since Intellectus, Intelligens and Intellectum, all the Universe, including men, are emanated from His knowledge, all the Universe should be constructed according to divine wisdom. For this reason, the knowledge of man about God, and His creatures as they are, is human wisdom itself and the search of man for knowledge of these subjects is the theoretical virtue itself.
|The drawing of Ibn Sînâ on the Pakistan stamp. The stamp reads: Hakim Ibn E-Sina (980-1037), Health from Herbs.
The wisdom of God is identical with His life i.e. God's wisdom is "the intellection about the most venerable subject by means of the most venerable knowledge." "The most venerable subject" is God Himself. According to the philosophical view of Ibn Sînâ, man finds, the "ultimate happiness" in the search for knowledge about God. This means that man comes to imitate God's wisdom and life and that the response of man to the "Creatio Dei"(God's creatures) is only by "Imitatio Dei"(imitation of God). For example, the response of man to the "Tajallî" (manifestation) of God is only by the "Ittisâl" (contact, conjunction) of man with Him. "Imitatio Dei" is then, man's theoretical virtue itself. According to al-Fârâbî, the purpose of man in studying philosophy is to know God in order to imitate Him as much as possible. [19]Further, "philosophy is to know the being as being."[20]"The end of philosophy is to know all beings as they are."[21] Philosophy concerns all being, as in theoretical or practical philosophy. Mathematics (including Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy and Music), Physics and Theology are theoretical philosophy, while moral, economic and political sciences are practical ones.
With all these views, al-Fârâbî establishes a parallelism between wisdom and philosophy on the one hand and a connection between wisdom and moral and political sciences on the other. He proposes wisdom as the way to the "attainment" of the ultimate happiness which is also attainment to the "certain knowledge" about God. One could attain to knowledge with certainty about God, when one studies all beings as they are or being as being. These topics are studied in the "Book of Lambda", part of the Metaphysics of Aristotle. These subjects are called sometimes "metaphysics", sometimes as "theology". [22]Theologies come "after" physics. Its place is "higher" than it. For, to study the principles of beings and the subjects whose separation from matter is not imagery like those of Mathematics, but ontological, is the most venerable thing to do for man. All these subjects are the most venerable ones. One knows all these "most venerable subjects" by mean of the "most venerable science" which is both the "certain truth" and the "theoretical virtue". One attains to the "ultimate happiness" by integrating his "theoretical virtue" with the "deliberative" and "moral" virtues as well as with the "practical arts".
With these considerations, al-Fârâbî puts together wisdom based on philosophy, and science, as well as that of religion. Then, it is clear, why in the Turkish language Physics and Biology have been called for a long time "the wisdom about nature" or "the natural wisdom" (Hikmet-i tabiiyye).
For, according to al-Fârâbî, man possesses the "certain truth" as the human intellect concerns a being and the knowledge about it is exactly being the same as it is. Both this being and the knowledge about it are called "truth" or "truthfulness". When there is no doubt within the human mind about the knowledge about a being that it is exactly the same as this thing itself, this "truth" becomes "certain". Then, this state of human mind is called "certain truth". When any human intellect is not concerned about any being this being does not become "truth", it rests alone as a being. When the human intellect is concerning with the Eternal Being; with certainty, man has then, the "certain truth" the "true science", the "most venerable science".
Man attains to it by asking the following questions and taking their "certain" responses which are similar to the mathematical definitions: "Whether the thing is", "What is it?", "By which, from which, for which is it?", "Why is it?" These questions and their responses are called the "Principles of instruction". Man attains to the First Principle by asking all the time to himself the following questions: "Whether the thing is", "Why the thing is", and having their "certain" responses. [23]The "Principles of Being" are the following questions and their "certain" responses: "What", "By what" and "How the thing is", "For what it is." In some subjects, like the mathematical ones, the "Principles of instruction" are the same as the "Principles of being", while in some subjects it is not. [24]There is not any "true science" about the changing objects, of course, [25]Man attains to the "true science" through "apodeictic", that is, "certain demonstration' starting with premises which are true, general, and necessary. To attain to the "true science" or the "most venerable science" is to attain to the "certain truth".
|A calligraphy that mentions about wisdom (hikma): Ra's al-Hikmatu mahâfatullah.
|Ibn Sînâ drawing by A. Suheyl Unver
The "certain demonstration" is other than the certainty itself. Therefore, the "certain demonstration" is a scientific syllogism formed with the premises which are general, true and necessary, while certainty is a state of mind to which one attains by starting from the premises which are true, necessary, general, primary, immediate, indemonstrable, first, more intelligible than and prior to the conclusion and causes of the conclusion. [34]
The proposition, which informs us of the necessary existence of a thing, is invertible with the proposition that is necessarily certain and informs us about it.[35]There is not any being which is necessary with the exception of God. The only being that is necessary is God Himself. Other beings are possible in the different degree of majority, equality, minority and eventuality. The natural things are not necessary but possible in the degree of majority. The thing, which is possible in the degree of equality, is called neither contingent, that is not possible to say neither "is" (true) nor "is not" (true) about it. They, who give us "true demonstration" about creation and attain to the "certain truth" about it, are the philosophers; they who give us the "persuasive demonstration" are theologians. [36]But, the "true demonstrations" of philosophers are superior and most venerable. [37]
According to al-Fârâbî, man knows God and divine subjects by means of intellect.[38]The intellect is the nearest being to God. It is a part of the "most honourable world".[39]It is the "most honourable part of human soul."[40]It is a part and a faculty of the human soul by means of which man comprehends the "certain truth".[41]When God created the beings; He gave the most convenient nature to man to receive the intellectual soul. . The first place for the human soul is in the heart [42]which is one of the parts of the human body.[43]The knowledge about the First One is the attainment to the ultimate happiness which is the specific perfection of man.[44]This is the First and Eternal One who gives to the beings as well as to the man their virtues and perfection.[45]
The Supreme Ruler prepares his people for the virtuous city by instruction with "certain truth". There is a parallelism between God, Universe, Society and Peoples. The people of the virtuous city are those who know wisdom and justice. One attains to the Milla through the "certain truth" or similitude as we said before. It is clear now from all these explanations that, "true wisdom" is the "most honorable science" or the "certain truth" according to al-Fârâbî. According to him "it is said that this science existed anciently among the Chaldeans [46]who are the people of Iraq, subsequently reaching the people of Egypt, from there transmitted to the Greeks, where it remained until it was transmitted to the Syrians, and then to the Arabs. Everything comprised by this science was expounded in the Greek language, later in Syriac and finally in Arabic."[47] We have also very detailed information coming from al-Fârâbî, included in cUyûn al-Anbâ' and appreciated by Max Meyerhof on the transmission of philosophy from the Greeks to the world of Islam. [48]
Both ancient and new archaeological studies on the literature of wisdom and science in Ancient Mesopotamia and especially in Sumer made by many cuneiform scholars, especially by Thureau-Dangin, Neugebauer, Thomson, Arno Poebel, Landsberger, Van Dyck, and Kramer, affirm the main thesis of al-Fârâbî.
As a result, we could say that, although al-Fârâbî says that philosophy comes to us from the Greeks, especially from Plato and Aristotle, both the definitions and the history of wisdom, in the light of works of al-Fârâbî as well as those of cuneiform literature, point out to us that the main conceptions of Greek philosophy and philosophers are included in the Mesopotamian, especially Sumerian literature of wisdom.

Medical Excuse Notes
Consistent with Centers for Disease Control and American College Health Association recommendations, the SSU Student Health Center (SHC) does not provide medical excuse notes for missed classes, assignment deadlines, etc. except in those rare instances where the SHC has specifically recommended a specific and significant extended time away from classes or referred the student for hospitalization.
Many acute illness and injuries can best be handled by rest and self-care at home and do not necessarily need a face to face visit with a medical provider. In such instances, a medical visit to obtain a medical excuse should not be required or encouraged, as this activity can subject the individual to unnecessary discomfort or injury, compromise the individual's recovery, and needlessly expose others to infectious illness. Filling a physician's appointment schedule with these kinds of visits also interferes with healthcare access for patients whose illnesses or injuries do require physician attention and unnecessarily consumes medical resources.
Healthcare providers must take patient complaints of headache, back pain, dizziness, indigestion, anxiety, depression, etc. seriously, even when there are no attendant physical findings. Excuse note requirements that might motivate an individual to overstate symptoms can lead to unnecessary, potentially costly, and sometimes harmful diagnostic tests or treatments and saddle the patient with an inaccurate medical record or diagnosis that could compromise future care or insurability.
In many cases the Student Health Center (and any other medical provider) has no way to evaluate the degree to which reported symptoms actually interfere with a student's ability to participate in required coursework. Most illness and absence circumstances are therefore best worked out between the student and the instructor, who has had an opportunity to observe the student's academic performance and knows what is required for success in the course. Decisions of this nature are and should be at the discretion of course instructors.
SSU students are therefore encouraged to contact their professors or instructors by whatever method indicated in the course syllabus or by the academic department and notify him/her promptly of an illness, injury, or other reason for missing class or not turning in an assignment and discuss potential solutions with them.

Lars And The Dreaded Soft Bed
Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench famously said that "Slumps are like a soft bed. They're easy to fall into and hard to get out of."
Lars Anderson can identify.
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
After going 0-for-4 in Friday's 2-1 loss to Columbus, the PawSox first baseman is hitless in his last 29 at-bats. His batting average in 44 games with Pawtucket has dipped below the Uecker Line at .199.
If you've never heard me discuss it on the radio, I go with the Uecker Line instead of the Mendoza Line since the immortal Bob Uecker batted exactly .200 in his big league career. Mario Mendoza finished his career at a robust .215.
After striking out in his first two at-bats on Friday, Anderson hit the ball well in his last two trips to the plate. In the 6th inning he hit a screaming line drive over the first base bag that probably would have been a double, but it came with Columbus first baseman Wes Hodges holding a runner, and he didn't have to budge to make the catch. In the 9th inning, Anderson flied out to the warning track in left (a Wall Ball at Fenway).
As a result, Lars has gone eight games without a hit.
"Not to be unexpected," PawSox manager Torey Lovullo told me. "I think a lot of young players have good and bad moments. I think Lars is experiencing that wave of emotion where he's trying to go out there and do too much every single day. We have to understand that there are going to be some struggles for a young player. He will go through some growing pains this year and learn from this. When he is a great big leaguer, he will use this year as a reference – I'm certain of that. He'll say, 'I learned those lessons when I was 22 years old,' and that's what is going to make him special many years down the road."
Lovullo speaks from experience. In 1989 after he excelled in spring training with the Detroit Tigers, Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson called Torey "the finest young player I've seen since Johnny Bench."
Anderson made Lovullo his starting first baseman on Opening Day and told reporters that "I'll die before he comes out of the lineup."
Lovullo began the season 0-for-20 and was out of the lineup by May.
It wasn't the last slump of his career and Torey says that one of the biggest lessons he had to learn was to ignore the well-intended suggestions of teammates and friends.
"Keith Moreland told me once to pick up the bat that is the most uncomfortable in your hands and you are guaranteed to get two hits," Lovullo said. "Well, I got two hits but it took me about three weeks because I had this bat in my hands that felt like a lead weight. Everybody wants to help. I think the bottom line is that you have to have some fundamental beliefs and know that you don't have to change. That's what Lars is going to remember."
As soon as he climbs out of that soft bed.

In The History of the Fire Lands, by W. W. Williams, we learn that Dr. Joseph Caldwell came to Huron, Ohio in the spring of 1833, and he continued practicing medicine there until his death on June 13, 1866. Mr. Williams wrote that Dr. Caldwell's death was "much lamented by many friends."
A page from Dr. Caldwell's ledger is found in the Business Collections of the Archives Research Center of the Sandusky Library. A record was kept of the Lewis Hoyt family's appointments with Dr. Joseph Caldwell from September 1833 through June 1835.
On September 7, 1833, quinine was given to Lewis Hoyt. On September 10, Dr. Caldwell made a house call to the Hoyt family, and medicine was prescribed. Other visits to the doctor were made by Lewis Hoyt and his wife and children. The final item on the ledger was made on June 27, 1835, at which time liniment was given to Mrs. Hoyt. At the bottom of the ledger is an entry for interest for two years, which was listed as being 84 cents. Mr. Hoyt's son's account was $3.50. The total for two years of Dr. Caldwell's medical services for the Hoyt family, including interest, was $20.56.
The Erie County, Ohio Cemetery Census Before 1909 provides the dates of death for Dr. and Mrs. Caldwell as well as for Lewis and Mercy Hoyt. Dr. Joseph Caldwell, who died on June 13, 1866, is buried in Scott Cemetery in Erie County. Mrs. Margaret Caldwell died on October 25, 1863. Stephen Caldwell, son of Joseph and Margaret Caldwell, died of cholera in 1834. He is buried near his parents in Scott Cemetery. Lewis and Mercy Hoyt are buried in Peakes Cemetery in Berlin Township of Erie County. Lewis Hoyt died on November 4, 1853, and Mrs. Mercy Hoyt (listed as Marcy on the tombstone) died at the age of 91 on August 20, 1878. It appears that Dr. Caldwell's medical services helped Mrs. Hoyt to live a long life, in an era when life expectancy was under age 50.

- Sandusky Library Archives Research Center said...
The notes that came with the photograph say that it is West Monroe Street at the crossing of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., 1933; view looking north along tracks from about 100 feet south of middle of West Monroe Street. I'm not certain, but it looks like it's in the vicinity of the coal docks.

I normally approach careers workshops with a slight trepidation, quite sensibly avoiding events which spend the whole time explaining to me in intricate detail why I should change my career choice (Even now I can hear imaginary careers counsellors saying "Stop! Go and do something else! Make lots of money! Who cares about job satisfaction!?"). After all, my imaginary careers counsellors argue, why would I want to be a research scientist?
I want to be a research scientist because I am passionate about research; about finding out new things and trying to use that knowledge to improve our lives. I am confident (for now) in the choice of my career and while I know I have other options, I don't want to pursue them right now. So you can imagine that I didn't really know what to expect from a two day workshop in Oxford for "Future Science Leaders". Well, what can I say? It was absolutely brilliant!
Finally, I had a chance to chat (often one-to-one) with successful scientists who have eminent careers in research science. We had talks from Jocelyn Bell Burnell, William Phillips and other very eminent scientists - too many amazing people to list! Most of them were female but ALL of them were absolutely inspiring.
The speakers shared advice on everything from tools to keep your travel organised (thanks to Alyssa Goodman, I now use the wonderful TripIt!), to how to approach eminent scientists at conferences without saying "lovely weather, isn't it?" thanks to Catherine Heymans.
It was an amazing opportunity to chat to the speakers about issues like the retention (and uptake) of women in science, and the advice on keeping your profile high was invaluable. There were also some great ideas for presentations and advice on giving sessions in schools.
I particularly liked one very practical piece of advice which I'll share with you here: when you're at a conference wear your badge high and on the right side - that way when you meet someone and shake hands they will read your name even if they don't hear it.
The most important thing I learned though, courtesy of Katherine Blundell who organised the workshop, is to be confident in my own research, and when self doubt creeps in, to tackle it with sheer hard work. Good advice, if I ever heard it!

An influential consumer magazine on Wednesday lambasted Ford Motor Co's touch-screen entertainment and navigation system, saying it is distracting, clumsy and overly complex.
"MyFord Touch still frustrates us like few other control systems in any other brand's automobiles," Consumer Reports said in a blog post. "And worse, it is influencing competitors."
Vehicles with the system have few traditional knobs and buttons. Instead, drivers can change the radio station or temperature by voice, tapping the touch screen, using controls on the steering wheel or sensitive buttons on the dashboard.
In its blog post, titled "Why the MyFord Touch control system stinks", Consumer Reports called the touch-sensitive buttons "maddeningly fussy" and hard to find while driving.
It can be difficult and time consuming to change the radio by voice command, the magazine said. Some pages are cluttered with information, such as a feature that tracks fuel economy with multiple graphs every five, 10 and 30 minutes.
"This system needs an editor," Consumer Reports said. The magazine also criticized certain aspects of the MyLincoln Touch system that Ford uses in its Lincoln brand vehicles.
Glitches in these systems cost Ford several spots in quality surveys last year. In March, the No. 2 U.S. automaker upgraded its systems to repair those problems.
"We listen closely and value all feedback on our vehicles - whether it's from customers or third parties. That feedback is used to continuously improve our products and we're seeing results from that commitment," Ford said in a statement.
Ford said surveys showed owners who upgraded were more satisfied with their vehicles and 71 percent would recommend the systems to others.
In its blog post, Consumer Reports said the updates made MyFord Touch faster and more reliable. But those upgrades do not repair the fundamental flaws of the system's design.
In the 2013 Escape sport-utility vehicle, the corners of the touch screen can be hard to reach and the font is too small, the magazine said. Using some features require a drivers' eyes to stray too long from the road.
"Ever consider why video games still use separate controllers with physical buttons, knobs, and joysticks? You never have to take your eyes off the screen, where the bad guys could appear suddenly and shoot you," Consumer Reports said. "The same should be true for the view of the road out the windshield while driving."

It's hard to imagine how BART directors will ever trim benefit excesses if they can't lead by example.
Consider the free lifetime train passes for directors, their spouses and dependent children. That's right: While we pay to board, current and former directors and their families ride BART gratis for life, sticking us with the tab.
OK, maybe there's a policy argument for free passes for current BART directors. Maybe it will encourage them to ride the system so they experience the dirty seats, packed cars, screeching wheels, surly agents and train delays like the rest of us.
But they should also experience the pinch in the pocketbook. As for including their spouses and dependents, that's just a perk, plain and simple. There's no excuse for it.
It gets worse. After directors leave the board, they get the same deal for the rest of their lives. And, yes, that extends to their families.
Not surprisingly, BART employees, some of the best compensated transit workers in the nation, get a similar lifetime family deal if they retire from the system after just five years on the job. It's part of the contract approved by, of course, BART directors.
As Denis Cuff reported last year, BART forgoes more than $2.1 million a year for the free rides, $741,000 of it for family members. More than 15,000 people have passes.
Although other Bay Area transit agencies offer free-ride programs to their workers, BART's is among the most generous. Moreover, of seven Bay Area transit operators surveyed, only BART extends the lifetime benefit to board members or their families.
It's against that backdrop that BART board President Joel Keller recently proposed what can at best be characterized as a tweak: Current directors would continue receiving the free passes for them and their families now and when they leave. Future directors would be able to keep the benefit after they leave the board only if they serve 10 years.
Now there was a politically gutsy proposal. Stick it to the next folks, but keep it for yourself.
Instead, directors decided to reduce the service requirement to eight years but apply it to current members too. Of course, most already meet that threshold. Three board members — Rebecca Saltzman, Robert Rayburn and Zakhary Mallett — will have to win election to second terms to qualify.
"I wanted reform, and that's what we got," Keller said. Reform? It gives new meaning to incrementalism. Then he added, "If there's a majority that wants to get rid of it, I'm very comfortable with it."
If he meant that, he should have proposed it.
