Hi!
I've got this script to create dynamic groups built on a set start then a groupname followed by country and city All that works but since the amount of jobtitle differ from 1-7 per groupname I wanted the script to only create the dynamic rule containg the jobtitle cell with data and if the cell is empty skip it when building the $jobtitleQuery for the $groupquery later used to create the dnyamic group.
Any ideas and thoughts are welcome! Probably missed something as I'm fairly new to this.

1 November 1988. Erin Tieng, a new resident of Stony Stream, on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio, is starting her new role delivering newspapers. Falling afoul of Halloween revellers, she joins forces with three other paper girls for mutual protection: Mac, KJ and Tiffany. The girls find their job complicated by the normal problems: creepy residents, overzealous cops, bullies and, obviously, a trans-temporal war between two different groups of time travellers from the far and even further futures. Sucked into a conflict spanning millions of years, the four girls have to work out how to survive, get home and prevent the annihilation of the universe. And get their papers delivered on time.
Paper Girls was an American comic book published between 2015 and 2019. Written by Brian K. Vaughan, better-known as the writer of the epic science fiction saga known as, er, Saga, the series has become a cult hit over the years. Amazon started adapting the show in 2022, creating a first season that was well-cast and excellently paced with some intriguing variances from the source material whilst also remaining faithful to the big picture. Obviously, being good, it could not be allowed to survive beyond a single season.
The original comic series was collected into a single volume a few years back, large enough to be used to stun a yak if wielded correctly. Read as a single piece, Paper Girls is relentless in its pacing. Every issue throws new ideas, new factions, new characters (or different versions of existing ones) and new creatures at the reader. Weird alien beings from another dimension? Sure. Dinosaurs? Obviously! Older versions of the main characters suffering from existential and mid-life crises? Go wild. This turns the book into a compelling page-turner, if an occasionally confusing one. Unlike the well-paced Saga, it's sometimes easy to lose the thread of what's going on in Paper Girls, what each faction is after, what resources they have access to and so forth.
In a way that increases the reader's empathy with the core quartet of girls, who sometimes get as lost in the morass of competing timelines, alternate selves and wars being fought for obscure reasons that haven't even happened yet. Our central quartet are grounded, interesting characters who grow and learn from their crazy experience. Sure, maybe they take the insane events a little too easily in their stride (the TV show works a bit better by slowing down the craziness, giving them more time to adjust to what's happening), but that also feels true to the 1980s SF movies the comic feels like it's homaging.
Ultimately the crazy SF antics are a backdrop to the simple notion of adolescent friendship. As Stephen King said, the friendships you form in later life are nothing like the ones you form at and before the age of 13 or so, and the whole book feels like it revolves around that idea. This gives the story universality, but can feel a bit like an overtrodden path, especially as contemporary projects like the superficially similar Stranger Things (which started after Paper Girls but obviously got a lot more attention) also went down the same route. But universal narratives which a lot of people can relate to remain powerful, especially if attached to the furniture of combat robots, weaponised lizards and religions emerging from modern corporate entities.
Paper Girls: The Complete Story (****) is a fun, breathless read, if sometimes a tad overwhelming or confusing. The well-drawn central characters pull the narrative back on course when it threatens to meander, and there's enough crazy SF antics to keep genre fans entertained.

In my last post I showed why “Libertarian” capitalism sacrifices liberty to capitalism, a truth its advocates are able to deny only because they are prepared to abuse the language of freedom. Some of those who have actually read and understood the post, make the correct point that it does not prove that the they must abandon their political preferences, since they can always reformulate them without using the language of freedom. That is indeed so, but they lose, if my line of argument is sound, not, indeed, the capacity to stick to the society that they favour, but an argument for those views rooted in the value of freedom. The arguments that I have provided will not detach hard-core “libertarians” from their political position, but that is precisely because, despite their rhetoric, they do not care about liberty or freedom as such.
In this post, I will have a different approach. I will show why the justification of property rights can only be consequentialist. (And in a later post I will show why consequentualism is incompatible with capitalism. I will do so by utilising Otto Neurath's work.)
In this post, I will present a view called "universalism". Universalism is saying that a thing being me is decided solely by the quality of immediacy that is present in every experience (thus, surprisingly, making every experiencing thing turn out equally to be me).
That view would seem to steer all moral thinking away from opposing the rights of distinct persons to one another. One could not properly ground something called 'rights' on a respect for a distinctness of persons who must not illicitly interfere with each other.
A respect for something like such rights could only be justified as in some way contributing to the well-being and satisfaction of the one person in different manifestations who was always me. Since that one person would almost always be under the illusion that there was a distinction of persons, denial of such supposed interpersonal rights could often be a source of unhappiness for them. Thus, rights could have only a consequentialist justification.
But how could anyone arrive at such a view? First, I will show why the standard view on personal identity is wrong. After that, I will show you how to arrive at the proper alternative view, by solving the sleeping beauty problem. Let's beginn...
Brain Bisection
Brain bisection, the surgical cutting of the connection between the hemispheres of the brain at the bridge of nerves that normally joins them (the corpus callosum), was an operation that gave relief to epileptics. But experimenters working with split-brain patients in the 1960s discovered an additional result of this surgery that was startling and disturbing. When they fed markedly different information into each hemisphere, the subject would, it seemed, possess two mutually excluding experiences at one time.
In a somewhat simplified example, if a subject whose hands are out of sight, under a table, is given a spoon to hold in one hand and a brush in the other and afterwards asked to point to a picture of what he had been holding, he would with each hand only be able to point to the picture of the object that that hand had held. As we might say, one hand wouldn’t have known what the other was doing.
Let us engage in a variation on a thought experiment in Derek Parfit’s paper ‘Personal Identity’ that dramatizes the puzzle in brain bisection. Imagine that by pressing a button I could cause a device to anaesthetize my corpus callosum, so that the communication between the hemispheres of my brain could be stopped temporarily.
Tonight a concert of my favourite music is going to be broadcast on radio, but I also have to do some tedious studying from audiotapes. Well, why don’t I arrange that the music will go into only the right hemisphere (which is musical) while the study material will go into only the left (which is verbal) after the button has been pushed to stop the integration of the activities of the hemispheres and thus any distraction of either by the other? But now a big question arises: what would my evening be like?
Think about this: Someone just slogs through the studying. And someone just enjoys the concert. But is it me in both cases? Or am I doing one while someone new does the other? Or have a couple of new someones taken my place?
Note that the continuing identities of the hemispheres and of the branching thought processes are not at all problematic like the question of which of these are then mine. The hemispheres could be easily distinguished and their distinct histories charted over time, as could the branching development of the thought into that about the concert and that about the studying. The problem, then, cannot be in the identification of these hemispheres or branchings. The problem is rather what would be making one of them or neither of them or both of them mine instead of somebody else’s.
The ordinary understanding of what a person is does not allow that I could be both enjoying the concert and suffering through the studying, since each of these experiences seems walled off from the person who is having the other. Yet it cannot be that I only enjoy the concert or alternatively only suffer through the studying or that I somehow experience neither. For following a more extensive anaesthetizing, or a stroke, that completely incapacitated one hemisphere I would certainly have had whichever experience was in the remaining functioning hemisphere. The concert experience would be mine if there were only the right hemisphere and the studying would be mine if there were only the left. In our case there are both. How could either experience fail to be mine merely because another one is taking place across the way?
Furthermore, after the anesthetic wears off and the integration of activities in the hemispheres has returned, I will remember having had both experiences equally well. I will remember both as having been mine. But it cannot be that the memory is somehow retroactively making both to have been mine. It is rather that I am discovering what had been true at the time but had then been hidden because of the lack of integration—that both experiences were mine when I had them.
The answer to what my evening will be like, then, must be that I will experience both the concert and the studying, though each will seem falsely to be the whole of my experience at that time. I shall contend that it is this same false seeming that hides the fact that all experience, of all conscious things at all times, actually is mine, and therefore yours.
The Sleeping Beauty Problem and its solution
The ‘player’ of ‘the awakening game’ is hypnotised into sleeping a trillion days. After he is first made to sleep, a secret toss of a fair coin will decide whether he’ll be briefly awakened on every day of the trillion or only one time, on a randomly selected day. Crucially, after any awakening, the hypnotist, while making the player sleep again, will make him forget he was awake. So he will not know directly whether he is being awakened a trillion times or once.
You are the player awake during the game. Can you not reason that it would be a trillion times more probable that this awakening would be occurring if there is an awakening every day and, therefore, given that this awakening has occurred, that it is a trillion times more probable that there are a trillion awakenings? Notice that this inference would be perspectival, like the earlier inference of the lottery winner to the probability of all entrants being winners rather than only him. From another perspective there would be no improbable coincidence in that awakening’s day having been randomly selected if there was only one.
The Sleeping Beauty problem is that before the game you would not have been able to make any such inference and yet you know that in your very next episode of thought you will be properly doing so. It is as though you know what you will see when you open a door to a next room and what you will infer on the basis of seeing it but you cannot yet make the inference. The paradox is not solved simply by recognising that because the inference is perspectival one shouldn’t expect to be able to make the inference from outside the awakening. For, as I shall explain, knowing that one will be properly making the inference in ‘the very next episode of thought’ seems to put the evidence one will then have right into one’s hands even before the game.
The evidence for the inference in the awakening game is that ‘this particular experience exists’. And what creates the paradox is that there are two different ways of taking what the existence of a particular experience depends on. Both ways of individuating experience recognise that any experience will feel to itself like this particular one. Of course, that feeling is merely subjective and would have to belong to any experience. But according to the ‘objective individuation’ of an experience for it actually to be this particular experience in which that feeling is being had two additional objective conditions must also be satisfied—the objective identity of the possessor of the experience and the objective time at which it occurs. An experience had by anyone else could not have been this one. And neither could an experience had at any other time, like on another day out of the trillion, be this one. The identity of the possessor remains constant in the awakening game, so the crucial determinant of the particularity of an experience of awakening would be which time it occurred. And it is this way of thinking of a particular experience, as depending on the time it occurs, that inspires the player, when in an awakening, to think that this, his evidence, that this particular experience exists, would be made a trillion times more probable by a trillion days of awakenings instead of only one.
But we also have a temptation to individuate an experience subjectively, according to nothing but whether it is felt from within to be “this” experience, whether it has immediacy. Thinking of an awakening game that has only one awakening makes this especially tempting. We can easily think that the random choice of day would merely have determined on which day the same one awakening would happen to occur. When we do think this way, it must seem that one and the same ‘very next episode of thought’ will occur just as well no matter in which objective time it happens to be placed. And what is crucial to the paradox is that we are thus thinking that in our pre-game anticipation of that next episode of thought we already have hold of its particularity as an experience, the very particularity that we shall be using to make our inference to a trillion awakenings. But within subjective individuation we could not use the existence of the particular experience we were in to make an inference to a trillion awakenings because the same experience would exist just as well either way. If we stayed consistently within either objective or subjective individuation there would be no paradox in our pre-game thinking. Within objective individuation we could recognise that later, from within an awakening, we’ll be properly inferring that there are a trillion awakenings but now we don’t have that evidence we’ll have then as a basis for the inference—that the particular experience within which we are making the inference has managed to exist. Within subjective individuation, on the other hand, our anticipation of the next episode of thought would have captured completely its particularity—what would be the evidence for the inference within objective individuation—but we would know that that could not be evidence, even within the game, for inferring a daily awakening, since that same one awakening would be existing as well on any day it occurred even if there was only one.
The Probability Argument for Universalism
Let me point out first that by using the style of reasoning of the awakening game one can establish the overwhelmingly greater probability that subjective rather than objective individuation is right. Again imagine being the player in the awakening game and finding yourself awake. If objective individuation is true you should infer that it is a trillion times more probable that there is an awakening every day rather than only one. But let us now add that for sure there is only one awakening in the game. That, if you believe it, might seem to leave you with no option other than wallowing in the great improbability of this awakening having occurred. But now let me remind you that there are two competing hypotheses regarding the individuation of this experience. According to subjective individuation there would be no improbability in the existence of this particular awakening. In fact, it is better at improving the probability of this evidence than even the trillion awakenings within objective individuation, since many potential experiences would have fallen outside the times of awakenings. So from within this awakening it must be inferred that its existence was made easy by subjective individuation instead of incredibly hard by objective. Of course if objective individuation is true there would still exist an awakening and this inference made within it would have been misleading, but what you would have to think within an awakening is that it would have been incredibly improbable that it would have been this one that was misleading in that case because the probability would be overwhelmingly greater that it had never existed to mislead.
But must such an inference favouring subjective individuation be confined to a fantastic game? Not at all. For the existence of this experience that you are actually now having would have been incredibly improbable in exactly the same fashion if objective individuation were true. Its existence would have required you to be existing and conscious in just one small period of time, the time at which your experience is actually occurring. If you and your experience had instead existed at any other time, this experience would never have come to be. But it does exist. So you can now infer the immensely greater probability of the truth of subjective as opposed to objective individuation.
We are forgetting something. Recall that objective individuation required two objective conditions to be met for the existence of this, your experience. One was the objective time of its occurrence—and we have had to let go of that. The other we haven’t yet considered—the objective identity of the possessor of the experience. If we give up that condition, we have full-blown subjective individuation—or ‘universalism’. And, as we’ll see, the same reasoning gets us the truth of that.
Think first of a many players version of the awakening game. Imagine an extraordinary hotel of a trillion rooms, in each of which there is a different sleeper. The two versions of this game have either all these sleepers awakened or else only one.
If, as a player, you find yourself awake, you should infer the immensely greater probability that all have awakened. But if you are assured that only one has awakened, you need not simply wallow in the improbability of its having been you, as you would have to do if you stayed within objective individuation regarding the possessor of this experience. There is an alternative hypothesis. This is the view that this particular experience, of being me at this time, is such purely because it is experienced as such—which is equally true of all experience. All experience is experienced as this, happening to this experiencer (which is therein I) at this time (which is therein now) and in this place (which is therein here), whatever the objective circumstances of the possessor and time and place might happen to be. So this hotel awakening was not an improbable event. That it happened to this person at this time and in this place is not at all improbable. For that’s how it is in all experience.
And need this inference be confined to a fantastic game? No. You can make it now
Objective individuation says that your own coming to be was unbelievably improbable. Subjective individuation says that your coming to be was as easy as pie.
Just consider the history of begettings that would have been required for you to exist on the objectively individuating ordinary view of the matter. Let’s say conservatively that during your conception there were 200 million sperm cells competing with each other to reach the egg first. And on the ordinary view if any sperm cell but the one that did happen to make it had got through to the egg instead you would never have been around (and never have had this experience). So you had only a one in 200 million chance of being produced from that conception. But it gets far worse than that, because in order for that conception to have occurred, your parents had to have been conceived, and in each of their conceptions the chance of it turning out right for your later existence was, with our conservative estimate of the number of sperm cells, again one in 200 million. So the chance of your emerging from those three conceptions was one in 200 million to the third power, or one in 8 septillion— pretty slim. And, of course, all ancestral begettings before these had to be just the right ones for your future existence, the number multiplied in each preceding generation, and all of it going back to the time of the dinosaurs and far earlier than that. Otherwise it would have been eternally blank for you. You would have had no experience whatever. Only others would have been in the world instead.
Only the hypothesis of universalism can relieve this improbability. It didn’t matter which sperm cell hit which egg. You must be there equally in any conscious being.
Think about what you ordinarily would recognize to be ‘my experience, now’. What makes it ‘mine’ for you? Is it the detail of its content? If the colours you were seeing had been different, would the experience have failed to be this, yours? Think of all the features of this experience that could be varied while its character of being ‘mine’ remained untouched. If you had fallen asleep and were now in the midst of a wild dream that had little in common with any of the usual content of your experience, would that experience have therein failed to be experienced as ‘mine’? If you had eaten different particular items of food over the past years (as you might so easily have done), so that all the particular atoms in the structure of the body were different in numerical identity from those in your body now, would the experience have failed to have that character of being ‘mine’? Must you take care with the particularity of the food that you eat because it is determining the identity of an experiencer, of the subject of self-interest? If the experience were had in a different location, if it were at a different time, would the experience not still have had that same character within it of being this and being mine?
What makes an experience yours is none of the specification of its content or of the particularity or other properties of its possessor. All that is required for an experience to be yours, to be 'mine', is that it be immediate in its character as its character is experienced within it, that it be first person. My pains are pains that are not remote like those that belong to another. My pains are those that are immediate. They have internality. They are experienced in a first person way. They are subjectively at the center of the world, here in me. But all real pains must be had with this quality of immediacy that makes them 'mine'. What could really be a pain without its thus hurting?
What I am saying has spectacular implications: It means that my self-interest reaches fully into the life of every conscious organism, each of which I equally am, and that the death of any one of these does not annihilate me so long as there still is any other conscious thing anywhere in all reality—since I will be that thing. And every experience in any time is experienced by me with all the same urgency of its happening now. All of it equally is mine and now.
It also follows that inflicting pain as retribution for wrongs is a horrible mistake: The person wronged and the person punished are one and the same.

Hello, I have Vba code which opens template file- fills setting sheet so that it can refresh Sql server to get corresponding data, then it removes links and save as excel file. Therefore, created excel file has tables/queries indicating ‘connection only’.
Here my question comes.. I can do this process without any issue but my colleague creates excel file which shows same data in template file so it does not refresh it… what should we check for this issue except background refresh? He can refresh template file by filling manually btw so it also should not be related to access… and our query properties in excel are same…

Hi,
I'd like to create a link from a word document to a specific cell in a workbook sheet. I have tried \\workbook address #gid=.'pagename -'!$A$160. which initially takes me to the correct cell but I get a pop up box saying "reference isn't valid" and when I put a different page name-cell ref it takes me back to the first cell referenced.
Is there any way I can do this easily and correctly please?
Thanks

I'm into 3D printing miniatures, and there are a lot of patreons out there with excellent models. I'm new to the Patreon scene, as I just found it this week while searching for printable STL files.
Problem is, I don't want to join a Patreon before knowing which files I'll have access to. Is there any way to see what someone is offering before joining in order to download the files? Every Patreon I've seen thusfar has a monthly membership which would allow me to download printable files, but everything is blurred out so that I can't see them.
