witness, not as a gude. Under the name conscience we must also include that which is called synteresis, or the general repository of moral principles? If popular language had followed these distinctions, much confusion, and perhaps not a little bloodshed, would have been avoided. But that is not the way of common language. It would have nothing to do with the word synteresis though it was ready to talk abundantly about the thing. It therefore used the single word conscience, sometimes to mean the consciring of what we have done, sometimes the Inner Lawgiver who tells us what we should or should not do, sometimes the inner nagger or prompter that urges us to obey the Lawgiver here and now, and sometimes other things as well. All the senses work upon, and in and out through, one another, and often, no doubt, men did not know themselves, much less make clear to others, exactly what they meant. There are, it is true,
three bottles the one in front it’s a Melnik 55 with a rather ornate and verbose (tho not legible) label in cream and red with various ornamental motifs. behind on the right is a not entirely visible bottle apparently of fernet branca and on the right another bottle with a fragment of visible italian perhaps. to th left is some sort of pastoral art postcard all a bit bleary. composition sits against some white kitchen tiles and a rather horrible grey, black and white flecked formica kitchen surface top. it probably has a name i don’t know it.

a cat with white fur and brown patches including over their left eye perches on a roof, gaze intent on something beyond the left side of the picture, at an elevated angle. the top of a tower block and blue sky with some light clouds are in the background.
izing theory, an ultimate grand idea. Instead, to set down a fantasy. And then to induce from the fantasy, a research project. The fantasy for this year of a form of living together that would accommodate rather than dictate the individual rhythms of its small-scale com-munity. Allowing for something like solitude, as Barthes puts it, with regular interruptions. What kinds of structures, spatial or temporal, would enable this? Where to look for suggestion and detail, for models and counter- models that could be simulated, or already find their part-equivalents, in life? As materials to think with, Barthes compiles this unlikely corpus - an unexpected collection of writings and novels: The Magic Mountain, Robinson Crusoe, the texts of the Desert Fathers, Zola's novel set in an apartment building, André Gide's account of the real-life sequestered woman of Poitiers. The inquiry will proceed sketchily, says Barthes. Each lecture will offer just a few

black text on salmon pink FT page: So, the stage is set and we're in what feels like the patrician, male-centric world of an Updike novel. Yet Ebbott, while writing with the grace of the old masters - "trees poured along the sides of the road. The car seemed to swim through them" - subverts…

For those already getting PIP, it will not simply be taken away. Any changes will only apply at their next award review. No one will lose PIP without first being assessed by a trained assessor or healthcare professional, who takes into account individual needs and circumstance. Someone who does not score 4 points in an activity in a previous assessment may well score 4 points in a future assessment, not least as many conditions tend to get worse, not better, over time.
a book cover with EXILES OF COLSEC, DOUGLAS HILL written on it. a man in a tunic and breeches is shooting a large worm - which has writhing tendrils around a gaping maw - with a laser pistol. it is badly drawn and appears to be taking place in a desert.
a screen cap of text on the light salmon pink of the FT pages in pristine digital form, unbesmirched by breakfast crumbs or egg yolk: …representative system, Perot said he would institute "electronic townhalls", an experiment in direct democracy that would poll the people, live.
