Naaninaw ni Enrile nga sawomsom na...

CEBU, Philippines - Si Senate president Juan Ponce   Enrile miduaw sa buhatan ni Mayor Socrates Fernandez   sa dakbayan sa Talisay kagahapon sa buntag ug mipaila sa iyang anak nga si Jack Enrile kinsa molansar sa pagka-senador sa umaabot nga election sa tuig 2013.

Isip amahan si Enrile nagkanayon nga dili lamang tungod kay iyang anak busa mibilib siya kang Jack, kundili   matud pa niya nga kwalipikado kaayo kini sa pagka-magbabalaod sa senado.

Si Enrile nasinati kaayo sa pangatungdanan ni Jack isip Kongresista sa unang distrito sa Cagayan.

Matud pa ni Enrile nga ilang gipahimuslan ang bakasyon sa pagpanuaw nganhi sa lalawigan sa Sugbo uban kang Jack. Samtang si Mayor Fernandez ug  uban pang mga opisyal sa Talisay midawat nga mahinangpon kang Enrile, Jack ug mga kaubanan.

Bisan wala sila mopasabot kun mosagop ba sila sa   gipasabot ug gipaila ni Enrile nga iyang anak, apan kasagaran sa mga opisyal sa Talisay milantaw sa kabayanihon ni Enrile nga midumala sa impeachment case ni Corona.

Ang maayong pagpanguna ni Enrile sa maong kaso, labing nakapabantog kaniya nga lisud kaayong balibaran sa mga lokal nga opisyal sa kagamhanan nga iyang hangyoon. (BANAT NEWS)

Of particular note is this discussion of the function and nature of memory, something we’ve previously explored:

"Far from being a mere repository for odd pieces of information, your memory is charged with relating the episodes of your life to each other, seeking recurring patterns â€" crisscrossing paths that run through the space of possible perceptions, motivations, and actions.

"Because of its likely evolutionary roots in way-finding, episodic memory relies heavily on taking note of locations in which events happen and of their spatial relationship, turning a representation of the layout of the physical environment into a foundation for the abstract space of patterns and possibilities that it constructs over the mind’s lifetime. As they fall into place the paths through the possibility space can support mental travel in space and time, which are both simulated to the best of the mind’s knowledge and ability. Episodic memory is thus the mind’s personal space0time machine â€" a perfect vehicle for scouting for and harvesting happiness."

Forethought, in fact â€" the distillation of experience using statistical inference â€" plays a large part in how the brain computes mind, and computation is a central element of cognition. The best way to understand the building blocks of the mind, from perception to action, Edelman argues, is by considering them as a web of interlinked computations:

"Computationally… the unfolding of behavior can be thought of as a ball rolling down a continually shifting landscape of possibilities, always seeking the deepest valleys. This computational understanding of the nature of perception, motivation, and action offers some intriguing insights into the meaning of, and the prospects for, the pursuit of happiness."

Edelman goes on to explore “three things everyone should know about life, the universe, and everything.” (Cue in Neil deGrasse Tyson on the most important thing to know about the universe.) The first has to do with the arrow of time and the idea that the universe is built around an asymmetry between the past and the future, governed by the basic laws of physics. The second hinges on the predicament of being alive and the awareness that “life is fragile and time is irreversible,” and that terrible things can happen in a flash, leaving us unable to undo them, but we can anticipate and try to prevent them through insights from our past experience. From these two follows the third fact: that the future is predictable from the past, but only up to a point.

"The reason for this predictability is the sheer physical inertia of the universe. On an appropriately short time scale, things are guaranteed to stay as they are or to carry on changing in the same manner as they did before. There are also many kinds of long-term regularities, such as cycles of seasons. Animals can evolve to rely upon seasonal changes n the environment and to anticipate them from telltale cues (think of migratory birds that respond to the first frost.) Or, animals can evolve sophisticated brains that represent patterns of change in the environment and anticipate the future by treating it as a statistically projected extension of the past. Either way, it is the capacity for forethought that distinguishes, on the average, between the quick and the dead."

Though much of the book is rooted in scientific inquiry and research, Edelman begins with a disclaimer against the classical conception of science, one that echoes this beautiful recent definition of science as “systematic wonder”:

"According to one popular conception of science that goes all the way back to Francis Bacon’s invention of it in 1620, scientific endeavor is all about getting answers from nature. That said, given the quality of answers one gets depends conspicuously on the quality of the questions one asks, scientific inquiries lacking in intrepidity, imagination, and insight are likely to yield little more than scientifically validated tedium."

"The focus on the pursuit of happiness, endorsed by the Declaration of Independence, fits well with the idea of life as a journey â€" a bright thread that runs through the literary cannon of the collective human culture. With the world at your feet, the turns that you should take along the way depend on what you are at the outset and on what you become as the journey lengthens. Accordingly, the present book is an attempt to understand, in a deeper sense than merely metaphorical, what it means to be human and how humans are shaped by the journey thorough this world, which the poet John Keats called ‘the vale of soul-making’ â€" in particular, how it puts within the soul’s reach ‘a bliss peculiar to each one’s individual existence."

The Happiness of Pursuit: What Science and Philosophy Can Teach Us About the Holy Grail of Existence
by Maria Popova
http://www.brainpickings.org/


“When fishing for happiness, catch and release.”


The secret of happiness is arguably humanity’s longest-standing fixation, and its mechanisms are among the most consuming obsessions of modern science. In The Happiness of Pursuit: What Neuroscience Can Teach Us About the Good Life, Cornell University psychology professor Shimon Edelman takes an unconventional â€" and cautiously self-aware of its own unorthodoxy â€" lens to the holy grail of human existence, blending hard science with literature and philosophy to reverse-engineer the brain’s capacity for well-being. What emerges is a kind of conceptual toolbox that lets us peer into the computational underbelly of our minds and its central processes â€" memory, perception, motivation and emotion, critical thinking, social cognition, and language â€" to better understand not only how the mind works but also how we can optimize it for happiness.

As it turns out, a fundamental truth about happiness lies in the very language of the Declaration of Independence, which encouraged its pursuit:

“[A]n owner’s manual for the mind, albeit an entertaining one.”
â€"Greater Good

“[An] accessible volume on the science of the brain and mind.… Drawing on hard science, literature, and observations of the human condition, the work presents a readable narrative covering both physical and psychological aspects of happiness.”
â€"Book News

“In The Happiness of Pursuit…Shimon Edelman takes an unconventional â€" and cautiously self-aware of its own unorthodoxy â€" lens to the holy grain of human existence, blending hard science with literature and philosophy to reverse-engineer the brain’s capacity for well-being. What emerges is a kind of conceptual toolbox that lets us peer into the computational underbelly of our minds and its central processes â€" memory, perception, motivation and emotion, critical thinking, social cognition, and language â€" to better understand not only how the mind works but also how we can optimize it for happiness…. [The] blend of philosophy and science is indeed the defining, winning characteristic of The Happiness of Pursuit, the underlying message of which may seem simple â€" roughly captured by the tired yet infinitely true adage, ‘Stop and smell the roses,’ and premised on the idea that experience itself, or ‘pursuit,’ is the true fountain of happiness â€" but it cuts to the heart of what we intuit to be true, and does so with a razor-sharp blade of science and critical thought.”
â€"Brain Pickings

Read the entire review


“The Happiness of Pursuit is for fans of inquiries into the nature of the brain, mindâ€"and happiness itself…. [Edelman] offers a happy addition to the classic recipe of ‘self-knowledge, self-improvement, and, eventually, selfless conduct’â€"a coherent notion of the self.”

â€"New Scientist

“From Bayes’ theorem of probability to Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ Edelman offers a range of references and allegories to explain why a changing, growing self, constantly shaped by new experiences, is happier than the satisfaction any end goal can give us. It turns out the rewards we get for learning and understanding the workings of the world really make it the journey, not the destination, that matters most.”

â€"Salon


“Taking passages by luminaries including Homer, William Shakespeare and Jorge Luis Borges as touchstones, Edelman powers along on his ‘quest for an algorithmic understanding of happiness’, revealing that it is this computational journey that constitutes the good life.”

â€"Nature


“An elegant tour de force that combines neuropsychology with liberal references to Shakespeare and Homer.”

â€"Kirkus Reviews



“Edelman marries his scientific mind with his poetic eye to give us the neuroscience that matters the most: an understanding of our own lives.”

â€"David Eagleman, Director, Laboratory for Perception and Action,Baylor College of Medicine, and author of Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain



“The ancient injunction to ‘Know thyself’ gets a lively update in Shimon Edelman’s eclectic examination of ‘knowing’ and ‘self’ through the lens of twenty-first century cognitive science. It’s human to wander thoughtfully through real and imaginary landscapes, learning as we goâ€"this is happiness, embodied in Edelman’s witty odyssey, which provokes the very pleasures it describes.”

â€"Dan Lloyd, Brownell Professor of Philosophy, Trinity College



“For all its seriousness, ambition, and learning, Shimon Edelman’s The Happiness of Pursuit is an extraordinarily human book. It is ambitious because he bases his view of the nature of happiness on what for many of his readers will be an unusual conception of the relation between the brain, the Self, and the body. Happiness, says Edelman, is not simply a state of mind one tries to attain, but an unceasing activity. That is,whenever it does attain its goal, after a pause for savoring its success it must change its goal for a new one. The Happiness of Pursuit shows Edelman to be a witty, resourceful, raconteur. You never forget his presence. He leans out of his book as if he were at an open window beckoning to us to come inside and listen.”       

â€"Ben-Ami Scharfstein, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy,Tel-Aviv University, and author of Art Without Borders: A Philosophical Exploration of Art and Humanity

http://www.happinessofpursuitbook.com/

Before dealing with the question of happiness, the author elaborates on his contention that human minds could evolve “to support foresight” because of the brain's ability to “compute by learning and using the statistics of the world in which we live.” He explains this with examples such as the ability of a baseball pitcher's brain to specify the location of his body and control its action by directing his shoulder according to horizontal and vertical planes and rotation, while anticipating a ball's trajectory; or the more mundane ability of a shopper to estimate which is the fastest check-out lane. Our brains are continually deluged with data that must be evaluated for cognition to occur. Survival of the organism depends on its ability to foresee the future and act accordingly. Edelman writes that this is the basis for the pursuit of happiness in humans, and by extension all living beings. On a more sophisticated level, humans retain memories and develop foresight, which the author felicitously describes as “remembering the future.” We build up expectations while savoring the past and imagining possible futures, with episodic memory acting as “the mind's personal space-time machineâ€"a perfect vehicle for scouting and harvesting happiness.” Edelman describes learning language as a similar process that depends on the brain’s use of statistics as a basis for inferences about meaning, and concludes that we derive our most sustained happiness from our predisposition to “enjoy every day learning.”

Because English is such a complex language, it is fraught with traps that we all frequently fall into. With this list I hope to clear up at least a few of the confusing words we use every day. This is a list of some of the more common errors people make with English.


1. Practice / Practise

In US English, practice is used as either a verb (doing word), or noun (naming word). Hence, a doctor has a practice, and a person practices the violin. In UK english, practice is a noun, and practise is a verb. A doctor has a practice, but his daughter practises the piano.

2. Bought / Brought

Bought relates to buying something. Brought relates to bringing something. For example, I bought a bottle of wine which had been brought over from France. The easy way to remember which is which is that bring start with ‘br’ and brought also does. Buy and bought start with ‘b’ only. This is one of those difficult ones that a spelling checker won’t catch.

3. Your / You’re

Your means “belonging to you”. You’re means “you are”. The simplest way to work out the correct one to use is to read out your sentence. For example, if you say “you’re jeans look nice” expand the apostrophe. The expanded sentence would read “you are jeans look nice” â€" obviously nonsensical. Remember, in English, the apostrophe often denotes an abbreviation.

4. Its / It’s

As in the case above, the apostrophe denotes an abbreviation: it’s = it is. Its means “belongs to it”. The confusion arises here because we also use an apostrophe in English to denote possession â€" except in this case; if you want to say “the cat’s bag” you say “its bag” not “it’s bag”. “It’s” always means “it is” or “it has”. “It’s a hot day.” “it’s been fun seeing you.”

5. Two / To / Too

With a ‘w’ it means the number 2. With one ‘o’ it refers to direction: ‘to France’. With two ‘o’s it means “also” or refers to quantity â€" for example: “There is too much money”. A good way to remember this one is that too has two ‘o’s â€" ie, it has more ‘o’s than ‘to’ â€" therefore it refers to quantity.

6. Desert / Dessert

This is a confusing one because in English an ‘s’ on its own is frequently pronounced like a ‘z’ and two ‘s’s are usually pronounced as a n ‘s’ (for example: prise, prissy). In this case, desert follow the rule â€" it means a large stretch of sand. However, dessert is pronounced “dez-urt” with the emphasis on the second syllable â€" ie, something we eat as part of our meal. To make matters worse, when a person leaves the army without permission, it is spelt desert. So, let’s sum up:

desert (pronounced dez’-it): dry land
desert (pronounced dez-urt’): abandon
dessert (pronounced dez-urt’): yum yum! â€" remember, two ‘s’s because you want second helpings!

Oh â€" one more thing â€" another very common mistake is using the word dessert (two ‘s’s) to mean pudding â€" pudding is a sweet course, often consisting of some kind of cake or icecream. Dessert is fruit or cheese â€" normally taken after the pudding course.

7. Dryer / Drier

If your clothes are wet, put them in a clothes dryer. That will make them drier. A hair dryer also makes hair drier.

8. Chose / Choose

This is actually quite an easy one to remember â€" in English we generally pronounce ‘oo’ as it is written â€" such as “moo”. The same rule applies here: choose is pronounced as it is written (with a ‘z’ sound for the ‘s’) â€" and chose is said like “nose”. Therefore, if you had to choose to visit Timbuktu, chances are you chose to fly there. Chose is the past tense, choose is the present tense.

9. Lose / Loose

This one is confusing. In this case, contrary to normal rules of English, the single ‘s’ in loose is pronounced like an ‘s’ â€" as in wearing trousers that are too loose. Lose on the other hand, relates to loss â€" for example: “I hope we don’t lose this game”. A good way to remember this is that in the word “lose” you have lost the second ‘o’ from loose. If you can’t remember a rule that simple, you are a loser!

10. Literally

This one is not only often used in error, it is incredibly annoying when it is used in the wrong way. Literally means “it really happened” â€" therefore, unless you live on a parallel universe with different rules of physics, you can not say “he literally flew out the door”. Saying someone “flew out the door” is speaking figuratively â€" you could say “he figuratively flew out the door” but figuratively is generally implied when you describe something impossible. Literally can only be used in the case of facts â€" for example: he literally exploded after swallowing the grenade. If he did, indeed, swallow the grenade and explode â€" that last sentence is perfectly correct. It would not be correct to say “she annoyed him and he literally exploded” unless she is Wonder Woman and her anger can cause people to blow up.

Bonus: I could care less

I have to add this one as a bonus because it is one I especially hate. When you say “I could care less” you are saying “I care a little so I could care less”. Most people when using this horrific sentence mean to say “I couldn’t care less” which means “I care so little I could not care less”.

Bonus 2: Ironic

Isn’t it ironic? Actually, no, most of the time it is not. Irony, in its true form, is when you state something to a person who does not understand what you truly mean, but another person does. Essentially, it makes the hearer the brunt of the joke without their being aware of it. This is called dramatic or tragic irony because it originated on the stage where the audience knew what was happening but the victim on stage did not. The most sustained example of dramatic irony is undoubtedly Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, in which Oedipus searches to find the murderer of the former king of Thebes, only to discover that it is himself, a fact the audience has known all along.

Another form of irony is Socratic irony, in which the person pretends to be ignorant of a subject in order to truly show the ignorance of the person with whom he is arguing.

Unfortunately, poor Alanis Morissette had no clue when she said “it’s a free ride when you’ve already paid” or “it’s like rain on your wedding day”. This is not irony â€" it is misfortune or coincidence.

To sum it up, basically Irony is a figure of speech in which what is stated is not what is meant. Sarcasm can be a type of Irony. -- http://listverse.com/

If you believe you are correct I'm sorry to tell you I'll stick to my usage of the word "vain".

Hmm, you will stick to your ridiculous, ignorant, clueless usage? Bwahaha! If your vocabulary is that deficient, why should I venture tangling with you in the more complicated discipline of logic?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Logic is the philosophical study of valid reasoning. Logic is used in most intellectual activities, but is studied primarily in the disciplines of philosophy, mathematics, semantics, and computer science. It examines general forms that arguments may take, which forms are valid, and which are fallacies. In philosophy, the study of logic is applied in most major areas: metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, and ethics. In mathematics, it is the study of valid inferences within some formal language. Logic is also studied in argumentation theory.

That is not only a claim but it is based on leftist belief that the government is the sole mover in the management of the economy. If the private sector will participate they should be taxed to the hilt. Mura'g sharia law ning klaseha sa gobierno.

Other sectors like the academe, the church, the media and others are also influenced by the left demonizing capitalists as a vain to society. They always initiate class warfare. Try to scrutinize the Obama administration. 

I try not to be dragged into pedestrian thought processes but this kind of pretentious analysis makes me sick. Any tenth-rate intellectual who says "vain" instead of "bane" is a vain TB member who is a bane to this forum.   

I don't find it amazing at all. There is nothing amazing about the limits of human knowledge.
