  We want to move beyond politics in which each party seeks to outmanoeuvre others and score a decisive victory. This leads to political stalemate. We want to reflect on the successes and failures of devolution and offer a series of proposals for reform that could be embraced by a broad swathe of opinion.
  What were the hopes and aspirations of devolution?
  To what extent has devolution been successful?
  What are the challenges and opportunities ahead?
  How can we meet the challenges and best take advantage of opportunities?
  Where is Scotland heading on its unfinished journey?
  How will changes in the rest of the UK impact on this journey?
  In  1999, legislation was passed to create the Scottish Parliament and the Consultative Steering Group (CSG) issued its report on the Scottish Parliament's guiding principles. Four key principles were set out in the CSG report reflecting the hopes and aspirations of campaigners for a Scottish Parliament: sharing power between the people, legislators and government; greater accountability from government to Parliament to the people; facilitating accessibility, openness and responsiveness; and promoting equality. These principles remain as relevant today as they were at the Parliament's establishment though much has changed in the intervening quarter century.
  In this book, former First Minister Henry McLeish, Minister responsible for devolution and chair of the CSG, and Professor James Mitchell of Edinburgh University consider the journey Scotland has been on – the challenges, obstacles and opportunities in seeking to achieve these hopes and expectations.

  Ludwig Wittgenstein - Language...

  Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, profoundly shaped modern thought, particularly in the realms of language, logic, and the philosophy of mind. His philosophy spans two distinct periods, marked by an evolution in his views on the relationship between language, meaning, and reality. Wittgenstein’s work challenges the way we think about and use language, positing that philosophical problems often arise from misunderstandings of language and its limitations. 
  Wittgenstein’s early philosophy, as presented in his landmark work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, was grounded in the belief that language could mirror the structure of reality. According to his "picture theory of meaning," words and sentences are pictures that represent facts in the world. He argued that the limits of language are also the limits of the world, and anything that could not be meaningfully expressed through language was simply beyond the scope of philosophy. This view led him to conclude that many traditional philosophical problems were nonsensical, arising from a misuse of language. 
  However, Wittgenstein underwent a significant philosophical transformation after his work on the Tractatus, largely due to his dissatisfaction with the results of his early approach. By the time of his later work, particularly in Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein had rejected the picture theory of meaning and developed the concept of "language games." He argued that meaning is not inherent in words themselves but is derived from their use in various social contexts. Language, for Wittgenstein, is a tool embedded in human practices and activities. He claimed that understanding language requires understanding the ways it functions in specific contexts, challenging the idea of a fixed, underlying structure of meaning.

  Harness the power of the Enneagram to learn about yourself, maximize your strengths, and improve your relationships. Pronounced ENN-EE-UH-GRAM, stemming from the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the Enneagram is a centuries-old categorization tool that classifies human personalities into nine interconnected personality types.  Through in-depth descriptions and discussion, learn how to assess how you think, feel, and experience life, so that you can correctly identify which of the nine types you are.  Type 1: The Improver/Reformer/Perfectionist (Life Strategy: “I must be perfect and do what is right.”)  Type 2: The Helper/Giver/Befriender (Life Strategy: “I must be helping, caring, and needed.”)  Type 3: The Achiever/Performer/Motivator (Life Strategy: “I must be impressive and look accomplished and successful.”)  Type 4: The Individualist/Romantic/Artist (Life Strategy: “I must be understood uniquely as I am.”)  Type 5: The Investigator/Observer/Theorist (Life Strategy: “I must be knowledgeable and equipped.”)  Type 6: The Loyalist/Skeptic/Guardian (Life Strategy: “I must be secure and safe.”)  Type 7: The Enthusiast/Optimist/Epicurean (Life Strategy: “I must be enjoying myself and avoiding pain.”)  Type 8: The Challenger/Protector/Advocate (Life Strategy: “I must be strong and outside the control of others.”)  Type 9: The Peacemaker/Mediator/Reconciler (Life Strategy: “I must maintain peace and calm.”)  Authors Liz Carver and Josh Green, creators of the hugely popular Instagram account @justmyenneatype, help you discover how knowing your type—and the types of those around you—can affect your daily life, your decisions, and your relationships with others, and how to use this wisdom to live life with more clarity, peace, and insight than you ever thought possible.

  "HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

  Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
  The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
  parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
  heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
  comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
  This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
  العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
  "A good reason is found in a good body" 
  in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
  only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
  sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
  where something cannot be 
  a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
  point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
  point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
  of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
  then it becomes; 
  الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
  According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
  various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
  thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
  suitability of a life path that is carried out.
