Question: This email message, like most of the email found in the inbox of your computer's email program, was written and sent by a person, and not by some disembodied intelligent machine. However, these days, it's possible to imagine that this message was machine-generated. In your books, Holding On to Reality and How We Became Posthuman you both discuss how we got to this point. Could you summarize briefly, as a place to begin? Albert Borgmann: Your scenario shows that today we are dealing with a new kind of information we may call technological information. It was preceded first by natural information—tracks, smoke, fire rings. Such information (it still is all about us) can leave us uncertain as to who the person was that left tracks or built a fire in the distance. Natural

Saud Al-Faisal There are two very frustrating things about this article in the Arab News. It provides no details on what kind of inter-faith dialogue will occur. In what context and where? And will Saudi Arabia address the prickly issue of freedom of religion in this exchange of dialogue? I also wish that Prince Saud Al-Faisal was at the conference to personally give his speech. I have great respect for Prince Saud, but his presence would have sent a much stronger message.Saud Calls for More Inter-Faith Dialogue By Ghazanfar Ali Khan Arab News RIYADH — Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal called for holding more dialogues among different religions and cultures at a time when anger continues to simmer in the Muslim world following Western attacks on Islam and its scriptures. “Rath

When it comes to the blogosphere, a lot has been said recently about building dialogue. But what does this really mean? The most important part is encouraging visitors to comment. You want your visitors to comment on a regular basis, because the more they get involved in your blog, the better it is for you. Generally speaking, you want to have a conversational style of writing. Of course if you do not have a lot of traffic yet, do not be alarmed if you do not receive a lot of comments, but on the other hand try promoting your blog more. Basically if you have many visitors you want them to have a habit of commenting.

The twins got a mild flu infection yesterday. And when they woke up early this morning, the first thing that Gwyneth said,"Mommy, I have a flu, so I don't need to go to school today........Di di (her brother), you'll go to school alone today."Asher retorted by saying,"No....I am also sick, so I don't need to go to school too!". I was a little intrigued when I heard this dialogue. This two young kids actually knew that the "outcome" of being sick was that they could rest at home. And they were thrilled!Have they not settled in the childcare centre and enjoyed their friends' company? I wondered. Or they just simply love the freedom they have at home of not following a time-table? Maybe I would have the answer much later?

My mentoring experience had marked one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences that I had ever undergone. I was hoping to extend a dialogue over a group of people who I had never before encountered, but I had not, under any circumstances, known the kind of mental dialogue that this would foster within me and the kind of relationships that I would inadvertently, and then very intentionally, develop. By overcoming the frustration of an absence of knowledge through the proactive investment of time and energy, I had gone from a stranger in the classroom to a valuable asset, which a mentor should certainly be. The evolution of the relationships that have marked this experience had, thus, presented for me, the true meaning of mentorship, and, subsequently, co-mentorship. In co-mentoring, the “‘co' makes the mentoring reciprocal and mutual. This reciprocity means that over time the mentee and mentor roles may shift; no one is stuck in one or the other for the duration

"The purpose of dialogue between faiths is not to change the other, but rather to deepen the experience of one's own faith. Through greater understanding and appreciation of each other's faith, the Hindu becomes a better Hindu, the Muslim becomes a better Muslim, the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Jew a better Jew and the Buddhist a better Buddhist."- Mahatma Gandhi (1829 - 1948)O mankind! surely God created you of a male and a female, and made you into nations and races, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you. And God is the Knower, Aware.

Travel is all about dialogue and interaction between characters. Too often though, beginning travel writers focus exclusively on one character (the narrator), with little effort made at capturing others’ voices. For example, a beginning writer will describe a place, say a pueblo in Mexico, then add a brief dialogue: “Hola,” said the man. “How are you?” “Muy bien,” I said. And that’s it. The writer will go back to describing his or her adventures. The #1 easiest way to improve your travel writing is to pay attention to the way your characters sound and try to capture their individual voices. In other words, make the effort to write strong dialogue. Dialogue Serves Multiple Functions In the example of shallow dialogue above, the conversation served only a single function, which was to advance the story through an exchange, an interaction. Good dialogue, besides advancing the story, always performs secondary functions. Here are a few possibilities. Tell Backstory

Things To Remember In Relation To A Dialogue by Manoj SharmaRemember that....1) Your life is a living laboratory, for you to experiment and experience till you gain the liberation of enlightenment.2) Human relationships are a dialogue and that when the dialogue is over, the relationship is over.3) For there to be a true dialogue, human being needs to "check in" with themselves and other human beings too. We can loosely term these "check ins" as intra-personal communication and inter-personal communication that involve becoming present to intentions, contexts, contents, feelings and meanings.4) Once people re-discover the value of a dialogue, it is like a re-recognition of an art form they knew and a re-gaining of something they seem to have lost.5) Having a real dialogue, is having a real awakening that once had is impossible to put to sleep, as it is being in the midst of the most sublime of experiences.6) Just because you are having a conversation with another party it may not tantam

In his Encyclical Letter Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), Pope John Paul II wrote that, "In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is..never licit to obey it, or to 'take part in a propaganda campaign in favour of such a law, or vote for it." (EV, No. 73).And in No. 74, His Holiness reminded us that: "Christians, like all people of good will, are called upon under grave obligation of conscience not to cooperate formally in practices which, even if permitted by civil legislation, are contrary to God's law. Indeed, from the moral standpoint, it is never licit to cooperate formally in evil. Such cooperation occurs when an action, either by its very nature or by the form it takes in a concrete situation, can be defined as a direct participation in an act against innocent human life or a sharing in the immoral intention of the person committing it. This cooperation can never be justified either by invoking respect for the freedom

"Argument is the worst sort of conversation." -Jonathan Swift, Irish Cleric and Writer, Jonathan Swift books// A mentor once explained to me that dialogue was the best kind of conversation because it involved collaboration and a sharing of ideas, regardless of agreement. He also said that discussion was a conversation consisting of points and counterpoints, which inherently made it somewhat adversarial. Arguments, he said, were nothing more than a waste of time. I wonder if my mentor read much of Swift's work? I tend to agree with them both. To read the rest of this post, please click the headline and go to the Thoughts On Quotes site.

I see it in a positive view in the changes that the government is implemented. This makes the CPF better able to sustain.I got to understand the CPF scheme a little bit better after this dialogue.

They were shoulder to shoulder in the gymnasium. The younger man was putting away his dumbbells when he noticed the older guy looking at him. Their eyes met for a brief moment and the older man said, “I’ve been watching you for the past six or seven weeks now.” The younger man was about to do his walkabout before he picked up the weights for another set of triceps curls. He had been working out at the gym for close to two years and he hadn’t yet got conversation from any of the other users of the facilities.  Stuck for an adequate response he said the only thing he could think of, “Is there something wrong with my form?” There was a flicker in the older man’s eyes or perhaps it was just a trick of the light reflecting off his spectacles, either way he paused for a moment before he said, “No, your form is fine.” “Okay.

If you are familiar with Four tet, or fridge, you've probably come to expect beautiful electronic arrangements and interesting drum programming. This album is more beautiful shimmering guitars, sitars and wind chimes with programmed live, yet real sounding breakbeats. The CD is worth the price simply for one or two tracks, but as a whole the CD is one of those must have CD's that could easily escape ever being heard unless re-released.This album sounds a little less electronic and a little less involved than some other four tet releases, but the songs are still very interesting, original and well produced.

In Massachusetts, some homosexual activists have a truly distorted idea of what constitutes authentic dialogue: http://www.massresistance.org/docs/info/know_thy_neighbor.html"A discussion is an orderly confrontation based on a mutual willingness to learn from one another. It involves the presentation of evidence by each party and then a good-faith attempt of the participants in the discussion to come to agreement. Discussion presupposes some degree of rational disagreement between us or at least a lack of consensus. If I agreed with you already, we would have nothing to discuss. In a discussion, I do not primarily want to disagree: I want to know the truth. If I do not think that what you say is true, then I disagree, stating my reasons as clearly as possible and without animosity. The same is true for you: you present me with your reasons. By sharing our ideas freely, we hope to arrive at a deeper truth. In a discussion, disagreement is for the sake of agreement.....An argument (emoti

"Healthy democracies require spaces for political dialogue and debate to allow divisions about the future direction of the country to be addressed in peaceful ways," the Carter Center said. Along with the above stance, the Carter center has taken firm stances on the issues: 1. Governments should not restrict access to coats and other outerwear if they want their people to stay warm. 2. Quick-flowing freeways require long stretches of unobstructed road. 3. Healthy democracies require elections to better know whom the people prefer as their leaders.

Today, Acciona announced that it has chosen West Branch, Iowa as the site of its new wind turbine assembly plant. This will be the Spanish company’s first such assembly plant in the United States and its fourth plant worldwide, with two in Spain and a third in China. According to the West Branch Times, West Branch has been waiting on “pins and needles” for news ever since Acciona announced that it was considering West Branch for its plant site in February. Iowa Governor Chet Culver and the West Branch are no doubt ecstatic over Acciona’s decision. “We are thrilled that ACCIONA has chosen the state of Iowa for its first production facility in the U.S.,” said Iowa Governor Chet Culver. “We welcome the

Is it possible for atheists and theists to have a meaningful dialogue? Forget for a second whether such a dialogue would be beneficial and consider whether it is possible. If so, what might it look like? As atheism becomes more common, this question will be asked even more frequently by both atheists and believers. I see one fairly massive obstacle to such a dialogue, and I am not sure what it will take to overcome it.The obstacle can be illustrated best with the following quote from Daniel C. Dennett (italics added):"..can we public atheists have productive conversations with believers? Certainly. We can discuss every issue under the sun...respecting each other as citizens with honest disagreements about fundamental matters that can be subjected to reasonable, open inquiry and mutual persuasion... As long as those who are believers will acknowledge that their allegiance gives them no privilege, no direct line to the absolute truth, no advantage in moral insight, we should be able to g

Am I the only one not complaining about the dialogue in Army of Two?   In the past few days I've seen a couple of gaming blogs, most recently Joystiq, complain about some of the dialogue featured in recent trailers (you can see two of trailers in previous posts) and I have to ask - what's the big deal? In the past few months I've played several games that were cursed with extremely poor dialogue and - what's worse - repetitive dialogue which you just can't escape. Here's the thing, Army of Two looks to be going with the "buddy cop" feel.  Think Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, even Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. From both of the early trailers it looks like Army of Two is supposed to be campy.  There's supposed to be obnoxious dialogue and while you may not laugh at all of it, it's there for a reason.  Look at the character's masks for cryin out loud?  they're hockey masks with air brushing.

The Howard Stern Show's rallying cry on uncensored Sirius Satellite Radio is "No more bullshit." Meanwhile, the fledgling Stern Show Network declares "No more censorship." Yet the claim is made not in defiance of FCC censorship or meddling terrestrial radio executives, but in challenge to a rival bulletin board's perceived suppression of critical debate concerning their mutual hero. Is free speech really worth all of this trouble? Dueling fan sites TSSN founder Mike (aka That Computer Dude) touts the new board as "a site for the fans, by the fans." He preaches tolerance for divergent points of view while providing capacity for 2,000 simultaneous visitors. (Some 641 people had signed up as of late March 7.) In contrast, Stern Fan Network lists more than 122,000 members — as well as a reputation for stifling those who dare to criticize the Stern show.

For the purposes of this blog I will first identify the characters in the sketch. 1) Daryl - he is the manager of my branch. He is about 5′10, shaved head, Auburn graduate, 49 years old or so, talks loudly. 2) Jeremy - he is a southern gentlemen from Alabama, but he transfered in from Kentucky. He uses dip as a way of staying awake during the day. The conversation: Daryl: Who the. . huh? Me: What? Who Dee Whoo?? Daryl: You know what that is? Me: What what is? Daryl: Whooo Deee Whooo? Me: No who? Daryl: That would be a Red Brested Lake Loon Me: Huh? Daryl: A Red . . Brested. . Lake. . Loon Me: Well I didn’t know what it was, but if I would have seen the bird I could have told you. Daryl: It isn’t a bird, it is a loon. Me: A loon is a bird, but at any rate I could have told you about any type of North American Aviary-being upon sight. Daryl: Oh yeah, how is that? Me: Obviously I would have consulted my Field Guide for Birds of the North America. Daryl: ::: smiles and s

I was recently contacted by Steve from HarvestBoston, a Christian blog. Far from condemning me to hell, he expressed interest in a Christian-atheist dialogue. Steve asked if I would be willing to write something that he could share with his readers in which I explained my belief that many Christians were Christian in name only, failing to act in a manner consistent with the teachings attributed to Jesus. He thought it would be beneficial to his Christian readers. I agreed, and you can read his post here. I encourage you to visit and share your perspective with his readers as well as contributing to the comments here.This experience confirms a few things I have long suspected. First, atheists and "real" Christians (i.e., those who attempt to follow the core themes contained in the words attributed to Jesus) have quite a bit in common. Of course, we disagree on the god question, but our similarities should not be overlooked. You see, Steve agrees that too many Christians fail to follow t

Fellow atheist, Lya, has a great post at Escapee From the Meme Machine in which she describes the results of an informal experiment in which she visited Christian forums for a few months. Why would she put herself through that? She wanted to see whether a discussion between atheists and Christians would produce anything of value.The results of this experiment were fascinating. She reports on several common misconceptions about atheists, reasons Christians provide for why it is okay to believe things that have no supportive evidence, frequently encountered fallacies, etc. I strongly encourage you to read her excellent post.Note: Lya's post also appears at God is For Suckers!Tagged as: Christianity, atheism

I've just started my novel, I'm probably on about 2000 words by now. I'm finding it difficult to find time to write and carry on with my studies. But i'm really enjoying the process of writing and the challenges created.For example, yesterday I wrote a conversation between two people. One person was from the 13th centuary and about to die and the other was from the modern day and was inside the mind of the other person. So, as you can imagine that was quite a tricky one, which took quite a while to get right. I'm still not sure if the dialogue conveys what I want it to. But it was really fun trying to write a conversation where one person believes they are having an internal dialogue with themselves but really they're talking to someone else.I quite enjoy the way that simple ideas like the concept of being able to enter the mind of dead people (in a sort of Being John Malkovich way) can lead to such complex situations.I'm also thinking about joining a writing group or writing cl

Writing advice on dialogue often tells us to use only the word 'said' as a dialogue tag. They seldom tell us what words not to use.

As a follow-up to my post about dialogue tags, I thought I would offer some links on how to write dialogue. What I found interesting in my research is that what characters say is important, but so is what they don't say. In addition, body language is a very important part of communication -- which lends itself well to avoiding the use of tags.When writing dialogue, remember this:Studies have shown that, in a face-to-face interaction, 58 percent of communication is through body language, 35 percent through how it was said, and a mere seven percent through the content of the message. In addition, how well do your characters listen? Do they always understand the true meaning behind what's being said? Dialogue, and the interaction that surrounds it, can be a great tool to show your character's goals and characteristics as well as a tool to help you manipulate your story.Here are some links:Holly Lisle's Dialogue WorkshopDialogue TipsSpecial Tips On Dialogue For The Romance WriterHow To
