Most people try to avoid living in blocks of flats. Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. The people who live in flats are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else. The dislike of living in flats is very strong despite of that they are very comfortable. People said they felt cut off from the world all those floors up. The new highrise blocks quickly deteriorated. Private property and public property Home as a castle implies a clear demarcation between private property and public domain. Flats involve uncertainties. Uncetainties perhaps explain why the ,,communal" living expected of flatdwellers has been unsuccessful. Law and custom seem to support a clear separation between public and private. People who lives in public domain also have a lot of restrictions and dutyes. People who lives in the private property have no restriction for own property and it shows exactly where the private property begins. The importance of "home"
A systematic structural analysis of the key concepts in science would yield what fictionalize scientific practice. /.../ some authors have referred to as a "theory of science." It would provide not only /.../ unifying threads among diverse disciplines, but clear structural or formal lines of 5. Syntactic, Semantic, and Pragmatic. Fifth, in the task of analyzing or demarcation. /.../ explicating key concepts in science, three distinct approaches have been devised, with 1 technical names: "syntactic," "semantic," and "pragmatic
Science is the collection of results and ‘facts’ that we know. Science discovers new truths and increases our knowledge. However, part of this body will probably be proved to be mistaken in the future. Therefore, it is better to define science in terms of methods rather than in terms of results. 3. Science as an activity What makes something a science? Is there a common scientific method? (will be discussed later) What is the demarcation criterion between Science and Non-science? Important problem in Philosophy of Science Useful to discredit Pseudo-science. Falsifiability Karl Popper’s criterion of demarcation: falsifiability Falsifiability is the possibility to falsify. A statement is falsifiable if it is possible that it conflicts with an observation. Marx’s theory of History, Freud’s Psychoanalytic theory, Astrology, etc. Being infalsifiable does not mean being incorrect

Ten years later, Afonso de Albuquerque conquered Goa in India, Ormuz in the Persian Strait, and Malacca, now a state in Malaysia. Thus, the Portuguese empire held dominion over commerce in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic. The Portuguese sailors set out to reach Eastern Asia by sailing eastward from Europe landing in such places as Taiwan, Japan, and the island of Timor. The Treaty of Zaragoza, signed on 22 April 1529 between Portugal and Spain, specified the antimeridian to the line of demarcation specified in the Treaty of Tordesillas. All these facts made Portugal the world's major economic, military, and political power from the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century. IBERIAN UNION AND RESTORATION Portugal's sovereignty was interrupted between 1580 and 1640. This occurred because the last two kings of the House of Aviz King Sebastian, who died in the battle of Alcácer Quibir in Morocco, and his great-uncle and successor, King Henry of Portugal both died without

There's also quasi territory of the states, e.g. 1) territory of embassies, 2) territory of the ships

army from the defenses blocking the invader and poised it in the north for a plunge downwards into the right side of the Russian wedge. On November 11, the point of this dagger—an army under Mackensen— began to pierce the Russian flank. At 2:10 p.m. the next day, the chief of staff of one of the Russian armies under attack transmitted a long radiogram which the Central Powers intercepted. In addition to mentioning the date of the projected Russian advance, it specified the line of demarcation between his army and a neighbor—always a zone of weakness. This message lay, cryptanalyzed and translated, on the desks of the German headquarters for the Eastern Front at Posen by the next afternoon. It was immediately forwarded to Mackensen. At 7:30 p.m., with this picture of the Russian dispositions before him, he telephoned his order for the next day to his subordinates. It called for an all-out attack, concentrating on the meeting line of the two armies in the hope of driving
