![]() These included education, social work, and, particularly, medicine and allied professions. In most of his later work Robin sought to apply philosophical thinking to issues encountered in everyday life and to the work of various professions. These ideas underpinned much of his teaching in philosophy classes. ![]() He acknowledged that it might not apply so readily to other traditions but pointed to examples such as the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights which suggest that it could be more widely shared. He argued that this can be seen as underpinning the liberal-democratic tradition in moral and political thought. In these works he developed a view of ethics based on the Kantian notion of respect for persons. This was the underlying theme of much of his teaching and of his first three books, Government Action and Morality, Respect for Persons (co-authored with his Glasgow colleague Elizabeth Telfer) and Roles and Values. Central to virtually all of Robin’s philosophical activity was the conviction that Moral Philosophy has a direct relevance to everyday life. He retired from the Chair in 2002 but continued to publish works of philosophy to the very end of his life. During that time he worked to increase the Department’s staffing and range of courses. He served as head of the Moral Philosophy Department until it was amalgamated with the Logic Department to form a single department of Philosophy. Ten years later he was appointed to the Moral Philosophy chair. Robin was appointed to a lectureship in Moral Philosophy in 1959. Together they had three daughters of whom Robin was immensely proud : Alison, Catherine and Barbara. ![]() In 1958 he married Eileen Flynn whom he had met during his undergraduate years in Glasgow. After demobilisation he moved to Oxford where he took the B. He was assigned to the Intelligence Corps, which meant taking intensive training in Russian language. He then spent two years in the army as a national serviceman. He took honours in Philosophy and English and graduated with a first class degree. Initially he thought of studying Music but a chance encounter with an introductory book on Philosophy led him to change his mind. He attended the High School of Glasgow and then came to the University. Robin was born in Stepps, Lanarkshire, but his family moved to Glasgow when he was still very young. She booted Ingle from her class for his WrongThink and “referred him to the public university’s Academic Integrity Board (AIB),” reports Fox.Robin Downie 19 April 1933-14 February 2023 This did not sit well with the feminist professor. When no women spoke up, Ingle says he challenged the notion that there are more than two genders and explained that even The New York Times has debunked the myth stating the “gender wage gap” is caused by sexism. The TED Talk speaker was a transgender ex-pastor named Paula Stone Williams who discussed “the ‘reality’ of ‘mansplaining,’ ‘sexism from men,’ and ‘male privilege.'”ĭownie first asked only the women in the class to share their thoughts on the subject matter. Lake Ingle, a religious studies major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, was kicked out of Professor Alison Downie’s Christianity class on February 28 for telling her that “biologists don’t agree that there’s more than two genders” and that the supposedly sexism-caused 23-cent “gender wage gap” is a myth.Īccording to a report from Fox News, Ingle was “silenced and punished” by Professor Downie after the senior pushed back on arguments made in a 15-min TED Talk she showed to the class. In the current year, it’s apparently permissible to ban a student from a class on Christianity for expressing inconvenient truths to a feminist professor.

If you have a tight budget and can’t afford a paid IDE, this is a best choice. ![]() However, like any other tool or technology, it also has some drawbacks: it is too slow and many developers using it have experienced slow code completion. NetBeans is a free IDE tool, which brings tons of benefits for the developers. It is light and offers great functional features. NetBeans comes with a Groovy editor with various integrated tools and offers features like code completion, providing name of dynamic methods for grails domain and controller class. NetBeans 6.5 or above versions support Groovy/ Grails development. ![]() NetBeans is a free and open source IDE which can be used for Groovy/Grails development. So, which are the best IDEs that developers can use to build applications based on Groovy and Grails? Let’s find it out! NetBeans Most of the developers are using Eclipse for developing any kind of Java applications, but when it comes to the Grails, developers have to consider various plugins and IDEs to easily and effectively develop applications based on Groovy and Grails. While Groovy is written for the JVM and uses features and syntax of Java, Grails is built upon Hibernate and Spring. However, when it comes to Groovy and Grails, it becomes crucial for the developers to choose the right kind of IDE to improve the productivity on the go. Integrated development environment (IDE) brings a whole host of features like auto complete, re-factoring source control and more for the developers. In today’s highly competitive software application development world, spending hours of time just to code everything right may not be a feasible solution for the developers, and that’s where the significance of IDE (Integrated Development Environment) comes into the picture, specifically when you’re developing applications using Groovy and Grails. Gone are the days when developers or programmers were solving all the programming issues on their own without using any tool. ![]() Script for increment and decrement number save position local StartPos = editor.CurrentPos Local fs,fe = editor:findtext( "\-*+", SCFIND_REGEXP,StartPos) Local CurLine = editor:LineFromPosition(StartPos) This script increment and decrement the next number found in text.

If Tindalos can manage that for Dark Descent, this could turn out great – we can’t wait to see more of it.Not since Robert Taylor's "PHANTOM STRIKE" (which is long sold out and sells for upwards to $2500.00 on the secondary market) has there been such an amazing print of the F-4 Phantom. Our main concern would be the pacing of things though, as Aliens works so well because there are moments of suspense, moments of relative peace and quiet and then sequences of edge of the seat action. Aliens is an action film, and being in control of the action rather than just issuing orders is a good way of getting that across. It might be harder to implement because of the squad leader/management aspect of things, but because this one looks like “The Ascent meets Aliens” it seems like too much of a good thought to pass up – maybe in a separate game mode, please?Īnyway, we can see XCOM purists lamenting the fact that they’re not getting a turn-based take on the popular Alien IP here as the cycle of planning, anticipating and reacting would lend itself well to an Aliens game, but we’re definitely down for what the developers are going for here. One thing we wish that Dark Descent had was support for local/online multiplayer, with each player controlling a squad member and working together. That’s in addition to managing your health and inventory, as both are finite resources as well. Getting a moment of peace is important though, as keeping your team’s sanity at a normal level is one of the gameplay mechanics here. To relieve some of that, you can set up motion sensors and automated turrets to give you support and some advance warning when danger is close, but there’s little room to relax. You know they eventually will, so tensions are always high. The isometric point of view also works well in this regard – when you’ve secured you and your team in a room and welded the doors shut, it’s a harrowing sight to see xenomorphs floor the hallways outside, looking for a way in. With dimly lit space stations partly overgrown with organic matter and some cool lighting and fire effects, Aliens: Dark Descent also does a great job of recreating the atmosphere of the film. ![]() The more action-oriented approach is a great natural fit for a video game, and the squad-based dynamic of the film carry over extremely well to a team-based shooter. During the (hands-off) demo, we saw lengthy overview of gameplay mechanics through live gameplay, exploring what Dark Descent will play like.Īs much as we enjoyed Alien: Isolation, we love that Dark Descent is much more aligned with James Cameron’s sequel than with Ridley Scott’s original. We were invited by Focus Entertainment to see a developer-led demo for Aliens – Dark Descent. Quick thinking and dynamic battle tactics are essential as you anticipate and react to enemy movements, so you might want to order your team to weld some doors shut in order to focus your firepower on a singular point of entry, only to see that other doors get broken down in the heat of battle. The story campaign is grounded in an original story and features both familiar foes (from Facehuggers to Queens) and new creatures, but you’ll come under attack from Weyland-Yutani forces. Dark Descent also features different character classes with abilities you level up in order to give them special skills while also researching a tech tree as your base in order to improve your combat abilities even more. It’s a single player game, but it’s squad-based, so you’re essentially commanding a team of space marines in real-time despite an almost XCOM-like feel (due to the isometric point of view and indirect controls). This one, scheduled for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, has us pretty excited. It’s not always a happy combination, but Alien: Isolation was great and Fireteam Elite was pretty decent as well. Continuing our look at some of the games we have to look forward to in 2023, we turn towards Aliens: Dark Descent, the upcoming team-based (single player) shooter from Focus Home and Tindalos Interactive.ĭeveloped by Tindalos Interactive (previously responsible for the Battlefleet Gothic Armada games), Aliens: Dark Descent is a return to the world of the Alien franchise. |
