Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 24, 2025 is: ostensible ah-STEN-suh-bul adjective Ostensible is used to describe something that seems or is said to be true or real, but is possibly not true or real. In other words, it is plausible rather than demonstrably true or real. // The ostensible purpose of a filibuster is to extend debate, but in reality it is used to delay or prevent action. See the entry > Examples: “No drums, no bass, no conventional song structures: Hosianna Mantra was a 40-minute contemplation of the cosmos and cosmic love, couched in words and sounds that explicitly linked it to humanity's grandest and most consistent way of considering meaning, religion. The ostensible polytheism conveyed by the name and the concept were only ways to realize how little we actually know, and how much we wager through mere survival.” — Grayson Haver Currin, Pitchfork, 19 Jan. 2025 Did you know? British philosopher and economist Jeremy Bentham once wrote to Indian religious leader Ram Mohan Roy asking him to “send me two letters—one confidential, another ostensible.” By ostensible he meant that, unlike the confidential letter, the latter was intended to be shown to people other than Bentham himself. This sense of ostensible shows clearly the influence of the word's Latin ancestor, the verb ostendere, meaning “to hold out for inspection,” “to show,” “to make clear by one's actions,” and “to demonstrate.” Ostensible is still used today as it is in Bentham's letter, but it is much more likely to suggest a discrepancy between a declared or implied aim or reason (i.e., the aim or reason that someone displays or “shows” to others) and the true one. For example, someone might give “seeing an old friend” as their ostensible reason for planning a trip when in reality they are planning on spending most of their time relaxing on the beach.

And sure, the Mandela Effect is real, but can we talk about the Fruit of the Loom logo!? And talk about these things did we. Also something about peeing into golf clubs. Details inside.

Ostensible is an adjective that means stated or appearing to be true, but not necessarily so. Having been around since the mid-18th century, our word of the is derived from the Latin word ostentere (oh sten TEAR ay) which means ‘to display.' Here's an example: The ostensible reason for not giving the employees free coffee anymore was that the company could no longer afford it. But looking at the money the company spends on decorating the hallways makes it hard to believe that.

Trek TV - The most ambitious Star Trek podcast on the internet!
#197 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E02 - "Darmok". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek, Dereck, and Jared.. A podcast about Star Trek, on the internet. Darmok, a legendary episode. A long-lost podcast guest host, returned. Dathon and his questionable plan for forging understanding. The beast of El-Adrel, its electric body inadvisedly stabbed. A language composed entirely of metaphor, cool yet completely impractical. Picard, his basic wilderness survival skills shockingly lacking. Troi, easily discouraged by slight inconvenience. Derek and his lust for inappropriate licking. Jared, his fact-checking foiled. Modern media, its consumption decentralized. Many other things, their discussions also occurred. A podcast description, its gimmick not really working. Ostensible metaphors, actually mostly just descriptive statements. Trek TV's Darmok episode, enjoyed by all! DAAAAAARMOOOOOOOOK! Visit our website for fan art, news and more!

Earnest, occasionally angry music by straight white men? Sounds like a punk band Mark likes. And so it is, as this week we talk about the gruffest men on earth, Hot Water Music. Ostensible a punk band, their throaty yelling and cathartic choruses have had a huge influence on so many punk bands over the course of the past 15 years. Alternately called things like gruff punk, or beard core, or even gravel core, all of these ridiculous pseudo-genres bring to mind men with beards and plaid shirts. Which is entirely accurate, really. Formed in 1993, they’re celebrating their 25th anniversary this year and have been a hugely inspiration band for punks all around the world. This week Mark picks their fifth album ‘Caution’. Not a fan favourite, and definitely their “most well known” release, it’s their second release for Epitaph, and marks perhaps their most popular period. They landed great tours, the band were on a hot streak and it looked like things might actually be happening for them. From a musical standpoint, fans may well disagree that this album is the correct choice for inclusion in our discography. Do you agree, or is this the right one? Vote below.

All government contractors need to understand the ostensible subcontractor rule and how SBA makes the determination. This is especially true for new government contractors who lack past performance. Even if a prime contractor is following the limitations on subcontracting, it does not mean that SBA cannot find affiliation between them. Small business government contractors that rely too much on another business for subcontracting could raise concern for affiliation under the Ostensible Subcontractor Rule. What is Ostensible Subcontractor Rule? Ostensible contractor affiliate happens when a small business holds a prime contract, but a subcontractor ends up controlling the work. SBA will review whether the subcontractor performed the primary and vital work of the contract. If the subcontractor performs the primary and vital work on the contract, then SBA will deem that the small prime contractor is affiliated with the subcontractor based on the ostensible subcontractor rule. The Ostensible subcontractor Rule also states that a small business is overly reliant on a subcontractor may be deemed affiliated for size determination purposes. Therefore, small businesses must understand the potential risks under this rule when hiring subcontractors for government contracts. By the way, this rule can also come into play when using teaming agreements and subcontracting agreements. How This Rule Came To Be? The rule was implemented to stop large businesses from entering relationships with small businesses to get around SBA’s size requirements. Please see 13CFR121.404(d)(5) for the regulations governing this rule. Let’s take a deeper look into this rule. By now, you are asking yourself how SBA determines the primary and vital work of the contract. That is a great question, unfortunately SBA does not provide any information on this matter. The small business prime contractor must determine the main requirements of the contract and ensure that it is performing these tasks with its own employees. If you let your subcontractor perform those tasks, you will have given SBA more reason to find affiliation. Another Factor There is another factor that you must take into consideration and that factor is unusually reliant on your subcontractor. In fact, in order to protect yourself you need to meet both conditions; perform primary and vital requirements AND cannot be overly reliant on your subcontractor. These two items are independent and if you do not meet both you could be found affiliated with your subcontractor. SBA’s Office of Hearings and Appeals has stated that SBA must examine all aspects of the relationship, including the terms of the proposal, and any agreements between the firms. When the prime contractor and its subcontractor perform the same type of work, the firm that will perform the majority of the total contract must be deemed to be performing the primary and vital contract requirements. This is different the primary and vital requirements. Four Key Factors Below are Four Key Factors that will lead to unusual reliance: Proposed subcontractor is the incumbent contractor that is not eligible to compete for the procurement; The Prime Contractor plans to hire the large majority of its workforce from the subcontractor; Prime contractor’s proposed management previously worked for incumbent on previous contract; The Prime contractor lacks relevant experience and must rely upon the experienced subcontractor to win the contract. The first factor alone is not enough to show unusual reliance but add one or more factors and you are opening yourself up to a protest based up ostensible subcontractor rule. Another important fact is SBA will look at the final revised proposal. Don’t think that you can later make changes to this final proposal and fix your errors. This will not work. Conclusion The goal with today’s topic is to make you aware of the ostensible subcontractor rule and provide some guidance for you. If you are in doubt, contact your legal representative and run the circumstance by them. For more articles.

Ostensible conservative David Brooks pens another misguided column for the New York Times, shallowly misappropriating the legacies of Hamilton, Lincoln and Reagan. Brooks offers yet another Establishment plea for open borders in America -- but is anyone listening? The uber-sophisticated George Will calls Trump a "whiner" and a "crybaby." Meanwhile, Trump offers a strong critique of America's present "free trade" policies, in the context of Ford announcing plans to build a $2.5 billion plant in Mexico. With regard to illegal immigration, Trump says he plans to "close up our borders" during his "first day as President." Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty joins Trump onstage in Oklahoma, and Ivana Trump offers her flattering take on how her ex-husband would serve as a potential chief executive.
