France's national holiday on July 14 (also known as the Fête nationale or 14 juillet) is a day of celebration! It commemorates two momentous events in France's history: the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, and the Fête de la Fédération in 1790. The latter refers to the popular uprising that took place the previous year, marking the beginning of the French Revolution.

A heartfelt thank you and birthday wishes, Revolution, to all of France!

There are role models. Okay, let's say the French Revolution is a model for overthrowing a system, which is entirely possible again given the level of injustice in certain countries.

The powerful often underestimate the power of desperation.

13. The Bohm or de Broglie-Bohm approach has never received wide attention. Perhaps one reason for this, as pointed out by John Bell in his article "The Impossible Pilot Wave," collected in Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics, is that neither de Broglie nor Bohm was particularly fond of what he himself had developed. But, again as Bell points out, the de Broglie-Bohm approach does away with much of the vagueness and subjectivity of the more standard approach. If for no other reason, even if the approach is wrong, it is worth knowing that the particles can have definite positions and definite velocities at all times (ones beyond our another, even in principle, to measure), and still conform fully to the predictions of standard quantum mechanics – uncertainty and all. Another argument against Bohm's approach is that the nonlocality in his framework is more "severe" than that of standard quantum mechanics. By this it is meant that Bohm's approach has nonlocal interactions (between the wavefunction and particles) as a central element of the theory from the outset, while in quantum mechanics the nonlocality is more deeply buried and arises only through nonlocal correlations between widely separated measurements. But, as supporters of this approach have argued, because something is hidden does not make it any less present, and, moreover, as the standard approach is vague regarding the quantum measurement problem – the very place where nonlocality makes itself apparent – once that issue is fully resolved, the nonlocality may not be so hidden after all. Others have argued the there are obstacles to making a realistic version of the Bohm approach, although progress has been made on this front as well (see, for example, John Bell Beables for Quantum Field Theory, in the collected volume indicated above). And so, it is definitely worth keeping this alternative approach in mind, even if only as a foil against rash conclusions about what quantum mechanics unavoidably implies.

HEARD, a deaf/disabled criminal justice advocacy organization, has worked with Harris for years. They said the courts and his attorney failed him.

Harris went to a gas station to dial 911. A police officer questioned him and then he was brought to a police headquarters to provide statements. An “interpreter” named Barbara Bell was brought in. Bell was not a professional interpreter but was a law enforcement dispatcher who seemed to know some signs and fingerspelling.

she was not a certified interpreter. So the stories were twisted up, his statement was twisted. 

"I stayed for 14 hours. My mind was not fresh. I waited for 14 hours in the interview room. The detective called for me and said an interpreter was present. But the interpreter kept on fingerspelling and I was confused. She didn’t look like a professional interpreter, but I went with it. I had to sign again and again. She didn’t understand my ASL. So I resorted to pen and paper. The detective compared it against what the interpreter said and said there were mixed messages and that I was lying. I said no. My primary language is ASL. They said I was lying and arrested me on a murder charge. I was stunned."-Ricardo Harris
