دوحه – ایرنا – فرودگاه بین المللی ابوظبی پایتخت امارات، هدف حمله هواپیماهای بدون سرنشین یمن (پهپاد) قرار گرفت.

به گزارش عصر پنجشنبه ایرنا ، خبرگزاری یمن ( سبا) با اعلام این مطلب افزود : هواپیماهای بدون سرنشین صماد 3 این عملیات را بر عهده داشتند.

حمله به فرودگاه ابوظبی یک روز بعد از هدف قرار گرفتن یک ناو جنگی عربستان با نام ’ الدمام’ در دریای سرخ انجام می شود.
’شرف لقمان’ سخنگوی رسمی نیروهای مسلح یمن پیشتر اعلام کرد : شرکتها و سرمایه گذاران خارجی منافع خود را از امارات خارج کنند چرا که مورد تهدید پهپادهای ما قرار خواهند داشت و موشکهای بالستیک یمن نیز به زودی به آنجا خواهد رسید.
وی تاکید کرد ساحل غربی به باتلاقی برای متجاوزان تبدیل شده است که توانایی خارج شدن از آن را ندارند.

در این توئیت ادعا شده است که حادثه مربوط به یک خودروی حمل بار در ساختمان شماره یک فرودگاه بوده است.

Contextual #logging with log4j2: How we Nailed it in Project-X

To know an object is to lead to it through a context which the world provides.— William James (1842–1910)Logging — ​maintaining a temporal trace of operations — ​is vital for any mission-critical system, no matter how big or small. Same was the case with our Project-X framework, which is why we wanted to get it right, right from the beginning.Contextual logging — where each log line automatically records its originating logical context, such as whether it came from a specific unit or from the base framework — ​was something we have been looking forward to, based on our experience with logging on the legendary UltraESB.We already knew log4j2 was offering contextual logging with its CloseableThreadContext implementation, with almost everything that we need; but we needed more:We needed a proper log code (...)

You Can Have Emotions You Don’t Feel - Facts So Romantic

What does it mean to have an emotion? It seems obvious that having one means feeling it. If you’re happy but don’t know it, in what sense could you actually be happy? Such reasoning seemed sound to William James. Conscious feeling, he thought, was precisely what distinguished the emotions from other mental states, like desire. Without conscious feeling, he wrote, “We find that we have nothing left behind, no ‘mind-stuff’ out of which the emotion can be constituted.” Sigmund Freud agreed: “It is surely of the essence of an emotion,” he wrote, “that we should feel it, i.e. that it should enter consciousness.” Sigmund Freud—was he wrong about emotions needing to be felt?Wikicommons But emotions are complicated things.

Is consciousness an instinct?When feeling at sea about definitions and meanings in the mind/brain business, it is always rewarding to dial up William James once again.William JamesMore than 125 years ago, James wrote a landmark article simply titled “What Is an Instinct?” He wastes no time in defining the concept:Instinct is usually defined as the faculty of acting in such a way as to produce certain ends, without foresight of the ends, and without previous education in the performance…[Instincts] are the functional correlatives of structure. With the presence of a certain organ goes, one may say, almost always a native aptitude for its use. “Has the bird a gland for the secretion of oil? She knows instinctively how to press the oil from the gland, and apply it to the feather.”The (...)

In The Principles of Psychology ▻http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/James/Principles/index.htm, philosopher William James considered the perception of time and concluded that we all live in the “sensible present,” a period of time more like a segment on a line than a point:

In short, the practically cognized present is no knife-edge, but a saddle-back, with a certain breadth of its own on which we sit perched, and from which we look in two directions into time. The unit of composition of our perception of time is a duration, with a bow and a stern, as it were — a rearward — and a forward-looking end. It is only as parts of this duration-block that the relation of succession of one end to the other is perceived. We do not first feel one end and then feel the other after it, and from the perception of the succession infer an interval of time between, but we seem to feel the interval of time as a whole, with its two ends embedded in it. The experience is from the outset a synthetic datum, not a simple one; and to sensible perception its elements are inseparable, although attention looking back may easily decompose the experience, and distinguish its beginning from its end.

The question of being is the darkest in all philosophy.” So concluded William James in thinking about that most basic of riddles: how did something come from nothing? The question infuriates, James realized, because it demands an explanation while denying the very possibility of explanation. “From nothing to being there is no logical bridge,” he wrote. In science, explanations are built of cause and effect. But if nothing is truly nothing, it lacks the power to cause. It’s not simply that we can’t find the right explanation—it’s that explanation itself fails in the face of nothing. This failure hits us where it hurts. We are a narrative species. Our most basic understanding comes through stories, and how something came from nothing is the ultimate story, the primordial narrative, more (...)

The 19th-century French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot is best remembered as a teacher of William James and Sigmund Freud, and also for the haunting, fascinating photographs he collected of patients in various states of symptomatic mental distress. Like other important figures in the history of medicine, he is a complicated figure in retrospect, at once a charlatan and a pioneer, a monster and a modernizer.

Norway’s Terrorism in Context - Daniel Pipes - National Review Online
►http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/272804/norway-s-terrorism-context-daniel-pipes?page=1

In the past, one had the cold comfort of knowing that deranged acts such as his were carried out by individuals under the sway of extremist ideologies. Not so Behring Breivik. This terrorist lists among his favorite authors George Orwell, Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, John Locke, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, Ayn Rand, and William James. The disconnect between Behring Breivik’s mainstream political conservatism and his psychological derangement presents a shocking new dilemma and challenge.

Bon sang, même Daniel Pipes lui-même est obligé de l’admettre : « Behring Breivik’s mainstream political conservatism » !

(Évidemment, l’article de Pipes est délirant de bout en bout. À nouveau : il ne faudrait pas que les actes d’un islamophobe pro-israélien nuisent à l’image de l’islamophobie pro-israélienne en général. Solution ici : Pipes se demande si Breivik n’a pas agit, en fait, justement pour nuire à l’image de l’islamophobie pro-israélienne.)
