Dear Dr. Block,
Say we get technology that can measure the Butterfly Effect. Then, I get sued because someone in Kentucky got stuck by lightning because I went on walk last week. How would libertarian law deal with this scenario?
Dear Nathan:

Reading aloud can help with pronunciation and understanding while improving memory and boosting self-confidence. And those are four very good reasons why everyone should start reading aloud more often, whether at home or with an audience.
Reading aloud is making a comeback and is increasingly being appreciated for its many virtues. In fact, reading aloud can help develop skills and self-confidence. Here are four good reasons to read aloud.
To improve pronunciation

Are they mispronouncing the words that they read? Are they articulating properly? Reading aloud can help pick up on any problems while helping kids learn.

Ongoing pandemic restrictions has forced the cancellation of HebCelt’s delayed 25th anniversary celebration this summer.
The Hebridean Celtic Festival’s landmark event, which was to feature a line-up including Texas, Seasick Steve and Saving Grace, featuring rock legend Robert Plant, was postponed in July 2020.
It was hoped a “rollover” festival could be held this year, but uncertainty over Covid lockdown and travel restrictions means the event cannot go ahead.
Instead, a “hybrid” festival is being explored which could mix live performance and online content.
The past year hasn’t quite offered up the romantic opportunities we may have been hoping for - with the minor issue of a global pandemic somewhat getting in the way - but that hasn’t stopped love from being in the air. In fact, at dates-n-mates - Scotland’s national dating and friendship agency for adults with learning disabilities - quite the opposite is true. It wasn’t straightforward for anyone to adapt when the full effects of the pandemic began to be felt in Scotland last year, but the team at dates-n-mates was determined to make sure their members still had opportunities to nurture their friendships and relationships.
ONR (feat Sarah Barthel of Phantogram) - Must Stop A Killers-style R Rated epic with one of the most barbed pop lyric of the year in “must stop falling in love with every girl/boy who f cks me” . ONR is the psuedonym of the man behind some of Scotland s best tunesmiths and former frontman with the underrated Dumfriesshire combo Finding Albert. ...
Tommy Ashby - Blood Wolf Moon Borders-based singer-songwriter Tommy Ashby who has a PhD in psychoacoustics notched up more than 2m streams of this gorgeous and reflective indie-folk song. ..
Callum Beattie - Some Heroes Don t Wear Capes The Edinburgh-raised singer-songwriter says it is the most personal song he has written and is around how his dad, who was the first to introduce him to songwriting, brought him up on his own. It has since been reworked as a tribute to key workers during the Covid pandemic. That new take features in the latest NHS Professionals video for International Nurses Day.
