Mather (2019) presents convincing evidence that octopuses have minds, but in the first 85% of the target article, the evidence does not come through very clearly because it is hidden by other information and by problems with the paper's organization. I propose ways to build a tighter argument in the author's Response to the Commentaries.

I had the good fortune to grow up in a wonderful area of Jerusalem, surrounded by a diverse range of people: Rabbi Meizel, the communist Sala Marcel, my widowed Aunt Hannah, and the intellectual Yaacovson. As far as I'm concerned, the opinion of such people is just as authoritative for making social and economic decisions as the opinion of an expert using a model. Part memoir, part crash-course in economic theory, this deeply engaging book by one of the world's foremost economists looks at economic ideas through a personal lens. Together with an introduction to some of the central concepts in modern economic thought, Ariel Rubinstein offers some powerful and entertaining reflections on his childhood, family and career. In doing so, he challenges many of the central tenets of game theory, and sheds light on the role economics can play in society at large. The book is as thought-provoking for seasoned economists as it is enlightening for newcomers to the field. Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind, describes Economics Fables as a "wonderfully inviting introduction to game theory, rich in personalities, history and sense of place. Ariel Rubinstein is not only a brilliant theorist with a knack for lucid exposition, but a gifted storyteller. Students will find the ideas surprisingly accessible. Aspiring scholars, wondering whether a life of the mind is worth pursuing, will find his personal journey of intellectual discovery thrilling".

Recently a word 'Nation Branding' or 'Branding Bangladesh' is practiced a lot. A nation brand is the total sum of all perceptions of a nation in the mind of international stakeholders which may contain some of the following elements: people, place, culture, language, history, food, fashion, famous faces (celebrities), global brands, etc. The way for a nation to gain a better reputation is to communicate to the international audience that how good you are, is called nation branding. There is a misconception among most of the people that it is required to develop tourism sector of any country in case of nation branding. But nation branding focuses on the nation as a whole – its people, culture and heritage, investment and immigration, governance, exports and tourism. The objective of this paper is to clarify this misconception about nation branding, help our citizens to know about the branding Bangladesh and reveal the possibilities of branding Bangladesh. Process of nation branding –Nation Brand Index and Country Brand Index are discussed in this paper. This research is based on secondary sources and the researcher comes up with the Nation Branding Hexagon for Bangladesh. Hopefully this paper will be helpful for awaking our consumers and making responsible to come forward for unbeaten nation branding for Bangladesh.

Ever since the computer was introduced some 50 years ago, its role in society has been increasing. From being a tool for scientists and technicians, the computer has become a concern for everyone. Different actors engaged in introducing — or denouncing — this technology, have used many strong words for winning others to the cause. The high symbolic value tied to computers and information technology has made the rhetoric used to "sell" these very explicit. This discourse, the language and arguments used, is the object of study in the dissertation. When it became clear that computers could be used also for rationalising administration, the Swedish government started to investigate how this could be done. In the 1960s, this became one of the first big computerisation projects in Sweden. It turned out to be a controversy between two different ways of organising a big administrative system: national contra regional/local or hierarchical contra decentralised. It also turned out to bee a "war" between the suggested computer makes that should equip the County Computer Centres. In the late 70s, when the "PC revolution" was only beginning, the Luxor ABC 80 computer became the best selling micro in Sweden, outscoring TRS-80, Apple II and Commodore PET many times. From 1978 to 1986 Luxor ABC computers were by far the most used personal computers. A decade later, in the early 1990s, the info-highway hype struck Sweden. Giving politicians arguments for a new wave of computerisation, but now less based on technology and more directed towards the use of "information superhighways" which the development within IT had made possible. These three instances in Swedish computing history form the historical background for this study of computer rhetoric, of the discourse that evolves when a new technological frame is being introduced in society. The social construction of artefacts is an outcome of communication between people. Therefore the language used by different actors in the various "texts" they produce is of vital interest if we want to understand technology and our relationship with it. But it is also true that technology helps to set the frames of our minds. A rhetoric of technology must take this relation into account. ; The electronic version of the printed dissertation is a corrected version where all spelling and grammatical errors are corrected.

In the Internet without frontiers all User-Elements define innovations, create interaction and provide all the things called L.I.K.E. and H.A.T.E. to success so companies transform money and a vision. But these both four letter words have absolutely nothing to do with making and giving L.O.V.E. to somebody or that User-Elements had to be G.L.A.D. with their social experience. Unfortunately User-Elements act like nomads. Nomads settle and leave. Worse luck! My first verbal rampage was "Click in the mud" that describes that search engines dies last. The second was a rapid reading of "Datenwolkenlead" at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2013. Since then one leadtext and catastrophe followed another. Help to divide the little minds that already mentioned or recommended, example given: "The Affron - Thank you for being afraid", "The Coming Collapse", "Bull in a China Shop" and "Scourge of Good". What a beautiful mind!

En "Una Mente Brillante", el decano de la facultad le dice a John Forbes Nash: "¿se da usted cuenta que esto contradice 150 años de teoría económica?". Además, desde que en 2002 el premio Nobel en economía le fue otorgado al psicólogo cognitivista Daniel Kahneman, más de un periodista sugiere que "lo poco que quedaba del análisis económico" tiene que ser tirado a la basura. Con respecto al trabajo realizado por Kahneman (y Amos Tversky), el objetivo de este trabajo consiste en contestar interrogantes como los siguientes: ¿Cuánto hay de cierto en la hipótesis periodística? ¿Cómo debemos los economistas digerir sus hallazgos y sus propuestas? ¿Qué debemos enseñar en las aulas?AbstractIn "A beautiful mind" the Dean says to John Forbes Nash: "do you realisethat this contradicts 150 years of political economy?". Besides, since in 2002 cognitive psychologist Daniel Khaneman got the Nobel prize ineconomics, journalists ask if there is any remaining worth in economicanalysis.Referred to the work of Khaneman (and the late Amos Tversky),this paper answer questions like the following: is it true the journalisthypothesis? What economists should do with Khaneman's findings andproposals? What should we teach in the classroom?

"A classified and hierarchically ordered set of pluralities, of variants, has none of the sting of the miscellaneous and uncoordinated plurals of our actual world." (Dewey, 1989: 49) "We do many things today that a few hundred years ago would have looked like magic". We all know versions of this banal assertion - we've probably all made it ourselves at some point or another. And if we don't understand a given technology it looks like magic: we are perpetually surprised by the mellifluous tones read off our favorite CDs by (we believe) a laser. Star (1995b) notes that even engineers black box and think of technology `as if by magic' in their everyday practical dealings with machines. A common description of a good waiter or butler (one thinks of Jeeves in the Wodehouse stories) is that she clears a table `as if by magic'. Are these two kinds of magic or one or none? The following paper is an attempt to answer this question, which can be posed more prosaically as: * What work do classifications and standards do? We want to look at what goes into making things work like magic: making them fit together so that we can buy a radio built by someone we have never met in Japan, plug it into a wall in Champaign and hear the world news from the BBC. * Who does that work? We want to explore the fact that all this magic involves much work: there is a lot of hard labor in effortless ease[1]. Such invisible work is often not only underpaid - it is severely underrepresented in theoretical literature (Star and Strauss, in press). We will discuss where all the missing work' that makes things look magical goes. * What happens to the cases that don't fit? We want to draw attention to cases that don't fit easily into our created world of standards and classifications: the left handers in the world of right-handed magic, chronic disease sufferers in the world of allopathic acute medicine, the onion-hater in MacDonalds (Star, 1991b) and so forth. These are issues of great epistemological, political and ethical import. It is easy to get lost in Baudrillard's (1990) cool memories of simulacra. The hype of our times is that we don't need to think about the work any more: the real issues are scientific and technological - in artificial life, thinking machines, nanotechnology, genetic manipulation. Clearly each of these are important. However, we endeavor to demonstrate that there is rather more at stake - epistemologically, politically and ethically - in the day to day work of building classification system and producing and maintaining standards than in these philosophical high-fliers. The pyrotechnics may hold our fascinated gaze; they cannot provide any path to answering our questions. Through looking at classification systems and standards, we will move towards an understanding of the stuff which makes up the networks of actor network theory. Latour, Callon and others within the actor-network approach have developed an array of concepts in order to describe the development and operation of technoscience. Their valuable concepts include: regimes of delegation; the centrality of mediation; and the position that nature and society are not causes but consequences of human scientific and technical work. The position that a fact may be seen as a consequence, and not as an antecedent, is axiomatic to the American pragmatist approach as well, particularly in the work of John Dewey (e.g., Dewey, 1929). As he noted in his Experience and Nature: For things are objects to be treated, used, acted upon and with, enjoyed and endured, even more than things to be known. They are things HAD before they are things cognized.the isolation of traits characteristic of objects known, and then defined as the sole ultimate realities, accounts for the denial to nature of the characters which make things lovable and contemptible, beautiful and ugly, adorable and awful. It accounts for the belief that nature is an indifferent, dead mechanism; it explains why characteristics that are the valuable and valued traits of objects in actual experience are thought to creative a fundamentally troublesome philosophical problem. (1989 [1925]: p. 21) We draw attention here to the places where the work gets done of assuring that delegation and mediation will work: to the places where human and non-human are constructed to be operationally and analytically equivalent. And following both Dewey and Latour, we also question the indifference -- of nature, and of machines. So doing, we explore the political and ethical dimensions of actor-network theory, restoring the interlinked and webbed relationships between people, things, and infrastructure.

Basically the acquisition of moral values is seen as the regeneration of the traits of a person. It can be said that the moral values as continuity of psychological processes such as perception, attitude, and belief in oneself. On the other hand, some are saying that the acquisition of moral values as the social interaction between the individual and his environment. Current perspective is more emphasis on the role of the outside world as a factor that facilitates value system. The role of parents, teachers, community and moral value system that is maintained in an environment in which he lives is an important factors for the possession of the moral values of the individual self. In the view of philosophy, moral values are often associated with the problem of goodness. Something is said to have a moral value if something is useful, true (truth value), beautiful (aesthetic value), good (moral values), religious (religious values), and so forth. Moral values and the ideal is something that is good. Hence the value is regarded as something abstract and can not be touched by the five senses. In connection with this, the Fraenkel (in Hamid Darmadi, 2007: 27) states that this nilaimoral presence in the "people's minds" (human chimera) as well as different other. The opinion similar to the view of this Fraenkel is Rokeah, stating that moral values is something valuable that is considered valuable, fair, good and beautiful as well as to guide or handle themselves.

Childhood is a time worth remembering in everyone's life. We all cherish the beautiful memories and fun we had in our childhood once we're old. We never know the real value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Even now we are happy to go back to those places where we have spent our childhood. Thinking about it fills our heart with nostalgic feelings. But have you ever thought about children who never had such a beautiful childhood as yours? This novel takes us to those children who are being kidnapped from their parents and sent into a frightening government facility called 'The Institute' for gifted children! The Institute (2019) is a science fiction horror novel written by Stephen King. It is one of his terrifying novels yet. Many of his works are transformed into movies and television series. The main focus of this novel is on the childhood betrayal done by the authorities running the Institute, and the survival of the children. The story is written by taking the ideas of a fictional child abusing institution where gifted children from all over the country are taken in and they are being forced to undergo dreadful medical experiments. Most of the children have super powers of Telepathy or Telekinesis. The officials running the Institute want the children to get control over their powers and to master them, so that they can be used in wars. They can be used as weapons against terrorists, and as mind readers. The doctors don't treat them like humans. To them they are merely test subjects. The government kills any test subjects it can't control because only then it can keep the country safe. There is no hope of escape for the children, yet they are all finally escaped by the brave efforts of Luke Ellis, the main character in the novel and his friends.

Citation: Baird, Nellie Wilhelmina. The relation of the physical body to the mental body. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1905. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: When we consider physical culture in the various states of development, we find that it runs parallel with the intellectual and ethical efforts of mankind. The latter were caused, to a great extent, by the material wants of the individual. To the pre -historic human being, the struggle for existence was a severe teacher of physical training. Man, in his primitive state soon found that he who could handle the largest club and throw the heaviest stone had the best prospects for life. The wild woods were his gymnasium; his competitive games were battles for life, either with the beasts of the woods or with the human foes of his tribe. History tells us of but one people in whom physical culture manifested itself, as it were, as the living idea of beauty. These were the ancient Greeks. But only for a comparatively short time did the Greeks stand on this unparalleled high pedestal of physical culture. In proportion to their intellectual and political decline physical culture returned again to little better than barbarism, proving thus that mind and body will always ascend or descend together. Though the aspiration for the noble and beautiful had proved the most successful teacher of physical culture, the Romans dismissed him and engaged Master War again as their ideal teacher. It is true he served them faithfully, but could not prevent the dawn fall of the Roman Empire, because the Roman mind soon degenerated and mighty Rome died of voluptuousness. In the Middle Ages chivalry became the bearer of physical training, but the people at large were "dumb -driven cattle". Europe fell victim to this piratical state. Rapacity, ambition, struggle for supremacy were the motives of its physical culture.

The tourism sector is one sector that is able to increase employment and economic growth. Currently, halal tourism (halal tourism) is starting to be in great demand. This is in line with the increase in Muslim tourists from year to year. The development of halal tourism has begun to be carried out by various countries, both Muslim and non-Muslim majority countries. One of the things that come to mind when people call Aceh is the application of Islamic Shari'a in every aspect of life, including the aspect of tourism. Halal tourism is an ongoing effort by the Acehnese Government to realize the Aceh brand as a halal symbol. The fact is that Aceh won three categories in the 2016 National Halal Tourism Competition held by the ministry of Tourism of Republic of Indonesia. Aceh's tourism potential is very promising both in terms of diversity and unique culture, culinary peculiarities, coffee flavors, atmosphere in the coffee shop, Islamic culture and its natural and beautiful natural charm. Efforts to branding Aceh as halal tourism are challenges that are not easy to implement. The halal label in Aceh is actually not a terminology that needs to be debated again. This article will explore the development of halal tourism in Aceh, review the concepts and principles of halal tourism, and discuss opportunities and challenges

ABSTRACT Lamak Kato-Lego Bunyi is a sentence found in Pasambahan, which in Indonesian means literally as beautiful word-clash of sound but the contextual meaning of this sentence is "the beauty of an agreement resulted from various opinions/inputs discussed previously". The discussion refers to a democratic discussion, meaning everyone present has equal right to speak up his/her mind regardless what her/his age is. In this case, it carries the same idea with a Pasambahan.Pasambahan plays an important role in building Minangkabau people's characters, a discussion room that has ethical, aesthetic, and educational values and teaches Minangkabau people how to convey polite/courteous words toward others. In the theory of conflict, discussion room has three elements or concepts in comprehending dialectics and several stages in completing the discussion. The elements found out in dialectics are thesis, antithesis and synthesis, and the stages in completing a discussion consist of the emergence of conflict, discussion, and agreement.The objective of this artwork is the Reinterpretation of Pasambahan. Several objects which become the inspiration and then are interpreted into this artwork consist of the room of democratic discussion, dialectics, and the positive value of Pasambahan which has good impacts on the supporting society. The embodiment of this artwork aims at being the medium of appreciation for artists and youths in noticing the importance of Pasambahan culture.
