New boss to shake up Starcom
New Starcom boss Matt Blackborn steps off the plane at Dubai International Airport today with one of the toughest briefs in the business — he's got two years to ensure the agency reaches international levels of transparency.
New Starcom boss Matt Blackborn steps off the plane at Dubai International Airport today with one of the toughest briefs in the business — he's got two years to ensure the agency reaches international levels of transparency.
In an industry seen by many as driven by private arrangements between agencies and media owners that clients are unaware of, the task will be a massive challenge. But Blackborn said: "It's my job to come over to make sure that we do everything 100% professionally, even if others aren't."
As Campaign Middle East predicted four weeks ago, Blackborn has been appointed to the new role of Middle East and North Africa CEO for the Publicis Media Groupe, which puts him in charge of both Starcom and sister agency Zenith Media.
In a statement, Publicis said Blackborn's job — a two-year appointment — would be to "assure compliance with Publicis corporate policies".
Starcom currently vies with OMD to be the region's biggest media agency. Blackborn was previously executive buying director at Starcom MediaVest UK.
His arrival is part of a wider regional management shake up which will see him supported in his overhaul by the arrival of a new chief financial officer Mike Fenwick, former CFO for Grey Advertising in South Africa.
And Oussama Jamal, managing director of Starcom in Egypt, will take on the role of operations director for the Middle East. Since the departure of the agency's regional CEO Tarek Ayntrazi, Jamal has assumed additional management responsibilities.
Blackborn's arrival follows increased tension between agencies and media owners, in particular the Choueiri Group, the biggest media sales house in the region. A priority for Blackborn will be to establish a straightforward business relationship following a turbulent time.
"I am aware that, certainly within TV, the market has changed with the Choueiri From page 1
Group holding a pretty significant proportion of it," Blackborn said. "We have got to be clear as a PLC, of our own internal guidelines, and that's what I am going to do."
Jack Klues, worldwide CEO at Starcom MediaVest and member of the PMG board of directors, said: "Success in any market requires the right balance of global commitment and local expertise. Matt and Mike will be complemented by a strong base of local talent, including Oussama, so we can deliver this balance to our clients.
"The leadership in MENA has extensive experience and profound understanding of the region's consumers and media infrastructure — great assets to our organisation, particularly as the interim chief executive and chief financial officer of PMG become acclimated to their new professional environs."

A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
It's My Birthday!
Since it's my birthday, I'm allowed to do whatever I want! I wanted the kids to finish their jr rangers at Beverly Beach, so we did that. Then, my next request was a big one: to drive back up to Depoe Bay to take a Whale cruise! Wow! We got to go out on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to watch whales!! I teared up quite often while standing on this little boat watching the whales surface to breathe! :) Once it got within 5 feet of the boat and you could hear the 'whoosh' of the blowhole! Amazing!!!! I loved every second of it! We saw whales, sea lions, brown pelicans... It's something I'll never forget!
After the whales, we tried calling some campgrounds to get reservations so we would have someplace to park at the end of the day, since we've had such a hard time finding places. Unfortunately, state parks don't take reservations on the weekends! It's a first come, first served basis. Doh! So, we decided to start heading down toward our camp site of choice. On the way, we saw a lighthouse that I was interested in visiting. It was a national parks site, so we stopped in! I'm so glad we did! It was super awesome! The visitor's center was cool with lots of super friendly rangers. The kids got to do Jr Rangers yet again, and learned tons about lighthouses! We took a little walk down to some tide pools, but the tide was coming back in, so we didn't see much other than a few dead birds and a LOT of seals playing near by! Then we hiked up to the lighthouse and had a tour! It was one of the oldest and tallest (and best) lighthouses of Oregon! Cool! The Ranger who gave the tour was very cute--all dressed up as if it were 1880. The kids were mesmerized! :) It was so enjoyable!
At the end of the tour, we had to run down to the visitor's center in order to get our badges before they closed! We made it just in time, and the kids are now lighthouse experts (ha ha).
We headed down to the next RV park...but it was all full. Doh! It's my birthday! Didn't they realize that?? So were the next 4 on the list. :( Finally, we stopped off where we are now, which is a tiny little campground RIGHT next to the beach in the middle of a National Forest! Ha! It's so fun! We're completely surrounded by trees, and there are HUGE Huckleberry bushes all around us (YUM!!), and yet if you walk about 100 meters west, you're on a huge sandy beach! Pretty funny! The kids got to play on the beach until it was too dark to see, then we ate roasted chicken, black beans, and roasted sweet potatoes for dinner.
Since it was my birthday, we ate ICE CREAM! yes, I had ice cream. i only have a birthday once a year! It was Breyer's, so it was better than most ice creams... :D We used matches for the candles and it was silly. Then, I shoved the kids into bed and I'm hoping for the best. There's no power at this site we're at, so there is no fan...just the sound of the Pacific Coast Highway on one side and the crashing beach waves on the other. He he he...
As far as birthdays go, though, this was the BEST DAY EVER! :D

What an amazing day!! Glad you had a good birthday!

My Favorites
Emily's books
by Dan Brown
I like that the plot twists and turns a lot...and it makes you think. However, I don't appreciate Dan Brown's endings in his books. I find the endings incongruent with the rest of his stories--why make it a romance for the last chapter...
I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!
I'm reading this one again. I liked it the first time I read it. I'm still liking it for the second time around. I like all of Shannon Hales' books. **Still lots of fun the second time around! I do like this book for a comfortable...

What would you do if you ran into your perfect double somebody who looks exactly like you? That is just the starting point for this supernatural thriller that explores the duality of nature, and the conflict that arises when we cannot come to terms with both sides of our personalities. Shortly after being told that if you encounter your exact counterpart your doppelgänger, you will die, meek scientist Michio Hayasaki (Koji Yakusho) comes face to face with his own. At first he is able to ignore him, but the doppelgänger becomes more and more insistent, until he has no choice but to deal with him. Despite being physically identical, they are frighteningly opposite in nature where Michio is quiet and reserved, the new arrival is confident, aggressive, and unbound by social conventions. The two learn to co-exist until Michios life starts heading into a downward spiral.

Okay. Very weird moment. So my stats hit the roof on Tuesday, because Singapore's Straits Times did a feature on my site as their "Blog of the Week" bücher herunterladen lesen.
I won't bother to retype all of it. It basically grabbed snippets from my entries and my bio – and made me sound like a very happy expectant mother indeed windows vista home premium for free.
Why we picked Karen Cheng's blog
"Karen Cheng, 26, was born on Christmas Island in 1978… Her online journal is designed to look more like a sketch book rather than an online journal… It is an account of life in Perth from the perspective of an Asian-Australian… Her candid banter on the joys of motherhood, the excitement of weddings and online shopping makes it a fun to read blog."

Oh well. That's publicity for ya. Pity they didn't choose the pic with my cleavage – bet I would've gotten double the hits herunterladen. Ha!

An estimated 112 million dead trees perilously populate the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The combination of unprecedented drought over the past four years coupled with significant bark beetle infestation has decimated trees throughout the mountain range in California. The severity of the problem pressed Governor Brown of California to issue an Emergency Proclamation in October of 2015 for the removal of dead/dying trees in High Hazard Zones.

Tomorrow, October 24, is my dad's birthday. It is also my anniversary.
He was generous enough to share this special day with us and we are very thankful. The year we got married, 1998, he truly enjoyed being The Father Of The Bride.
I wanted to wish him a happy and special day and wish it early. We look forward to seeing you today and hopefully tomorrow too, or another day this week.
Here we are pictured are together in 2006, before Ian was born. We were having fun on vacation as we usually do.
Dad, thanks for everything! You have been and continue to be a great dad and grandfather. I am so thankful for you and our relationship and your love. And, I am thankful that you love to play with Ian and visit and be with Kirk as well.

Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California is my favorite place on earth for the sacred work of exploring our inner world. It is an organic farm land, located right on the cliff over looking the beautiful Pacific Ocean, a sacred land for the Native people in the past, and for the last 50 years it has been a laboratory of seekers of Truth. The curriculum I am teaching was created in collaboration with neuroscientists Andrew Newberg M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman, who wrote the best seller book How God Changes Your Brain, which documented numerous studies on the impact of spiritual mindfulness practices on the brain.(http://www.amazon.com/How-Changes-Your-Brain-Neuroscientist/dp/0345503422). What we do in Eslaen is experiencing introspective and ecstatic practices of four ancient spiritual paths: Zen Buddhism, Kabbalistic Judaism, early contemplative Christianity, and Sufi-Islam. This unique experiential seminar is a journey deep into sacred music chanting, movement, and spiritual mindfulness practices, drawing from the hidden wisdom of the traditions of the East. These practices have been shown to alter the structure and function of the brain in ways that enhance memory, cognition, and social awareness. These practices also overcome the neural mechanisms that generate stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Each day my group will focus on a different tradition, and sessions will demonstrate the deep commonality and love for life and humanity reflected in these spiritual practices. The activities are based on my work with master spiritual teachers of the East and neuroscientists of the West. Through this incredible journey to your inner world, you will have a rare perspective into the worlds of Zen Buddhist masters, mystic Sufi leaders, Kabbalistic rabbis, leading neuroscientists, and scholars of the mysticism of Christianity. This seminar is experiential, and will not be lecture-based. The focus is on providing a deep spiritual healing experience, including walking, sacred movement, ecstatic chanting meditations, storytelling, and poetry.

Easter Family Picture. It was freezing, but we really enjoyed the church service.
Egg carton lunches were a big hit all week long.
There were definitely more highs than lows from our weekend so I'll give you a little run down of both. Let's start with the lows because they're funny now...
1. Fletcher got his head stuck inside of his Easter basket on the way to our egg hunt. He was riding in his car seat and started screaming. I turn around to help him and realize he's really stuck. I shimmy his head out of the basket only to realize he's scraped up his entire forehead on the scalloped basket edges.
2. Olive snuck into the Easter egg dyeing kit while I was putting Fletcher down for a nap. She got out all of the supplies she thought we needed according to the back of the box. I came out to a counter full of water filled cups, egg dye tablets in each and all the stickers out. She was ready to go. She was so proud and I was just thankful the mess wasn't worse. She said she was excited to be so helpful and I quickly reminded myself that my way isn't always the best way.
3. We're enjoying a yummy Easter brunch. In a split second, Fletcher grabs a handful of blackberries and smears them into the bright white table cloth. I was mortified and hope they've got some super start stain removing trick.
4. We head out to the golf course for the egg hunt. They let the littlest kids go first. I head out with Fletcher and this little boy blows past us. He gets going too fast and barrel rolls himself and his basket down the hill. His parents are running along behind him. I hold Fletcher's basket while he grabs a couple eggs. I look down and he's found as many golf balls as Easter eggs. He's thrilled.
5. Easter church. We head to church early. Have to park much farther away than usual. Are rushing into the service. Olive trips and falls on the way in. She's fine. Church is packed. Head to the cry room with the kids. Fletcher cries. We all settle in and really enjoy the Easter service. Head to brunch at our favorite spot - Dennys. Olive knocks over her drink seconds after getting it. Thankfully it's water and we have a great rest of the meal. When it's time to go Fletcher runs back into the kitchen. We hurry home.
So just remember...
There are lot of cute pictures in this post, but there was plenty of chaos behind the scenes.
I gathered all the kid's favorite things and stuffed their Easter eggs with a mix of salty and sweet things. The Tootsie Roll EGGS were the favorite. Our sweet neighbors brought each of us chocolate bunnies. They make all kinds of fancy chocolates for every holiday. I always look forward to their treats!
Bunny Brunch
This was our 3rd annual bunny brunch.
2017 Bunny Brunch
2016 Bunny Brunch
We had a great time. The food was tasty and the kids enjoyed all of the activities. It was freezing so we didn't last long without our coats. Olive was excited to give Fletcher some egg hunting tips.
My kids were really excited to see the Easter Bunny. They followed him around giving high fives, smiles and pretty happily sat by him for pictures. I always feel like he could use some bunny clothes, but they didn't ask for my input :)
Fletcher is quickly catching up to Olive.
Their personalities perfectly captured in one picture.
Brunch was delicious - quiche, ham, eggs, cheesey potatoes, berries, eggs and more.
Remember my story from above?? Here's his scratched up, blackberry stained face as proof.
I spy... Easter eggs!
We prayed that the rain would stay away until after the hunt and it did. We finished hunting eggs/golf balls and it started raining.
Another great Bunny Brunch in the books :)
Popcorn & Easter movies :)
Dyeing Eggs. Easily the most stressful holiday activity we do all year. Thankfully the kids were fast and we only ended up with one green hand casualty.
Olive loves all the bunnies around this time of year. She also wore her Easter dress all weekend!
Easter baskets ready to go. The bendy bunnies, kites, striped cookies and bunny mason jar cups were a big hit.
All smiles after church!
We love breakfast at Dennys!!
Egg hunt! We were so glad the rain stayed away. Our yard was MUDDY after a week of rain so the bunny very thoughtfully placed the eggs all along the driveway and front sidewalk.
I cooked an easy Easter dinner with all of our favorites. I used an assortment of my grandma's dishes that I love and we made Resurrection Rolls for dessert. I had the kids make place cards while I worked on dinner. They loved it.
Thankful for a great holiday with my family!! What was the highlight of your Easter??
Linking up for Hello Monday

On Dec. 19, 2008, a group of musicians under the leadership of Keith Price assembled at Epiphany Lutheran Church in Winnipeg to record an album. This is the result: straight-ahead neo-bop jazz reminiscent of that great collaboration of Miles Davis and John Coltrane but pre-Kind of Blue. Price has his Lenny Breau guitar licks down in this session. He is joined by Neil Watson on alto sax, reminding one of the Coltrane's Prestige recordings of the mid-fifties, William Bonness on piano and keyboards, Julian Bradford bass, Curtis Nowosad drums and, on one track, the immaculate songstress Amber Epp.
Each contributor here is alone a fixture on the Winnipeg music scene. It's fabulous to hear Julian Bradford play arco applying the bow to the strings of the bass, something which he does far too infrequently. This group moves tautly through a range of moods from the passionate to the sublime, reminding the listener, in the more romantic moments, of Errol Garner. Particularly note-worthy is the sensual tone of Epp's voice on "Warmth," a tune whose lyrics she wrote to Price's melody, accompanied by Bonness's Garneresque piano in the background.
The only thing diminishing the excellence of this CD is that Price's "Zoom Zoom" has been split into three parts with one beginning the CD, one in the middle and one at the end together with fade-ins and fade-outs, a gimmick which should have been discarded ages ago when the rock groups of the '60s began to use it. Other than that minor annoyance, this is an inspired album that belongs in every jazz lover's collection.

Disclosure: I was sent the Britax Advocate to provide my honest opinion of the product. No other compensation was received in exchange for this post. All opinions of the product are mine so yours may differ. Please use your best judgment before making a purchase.
Britax is a brand that has been a leader in mobile safety for over 70 years, they are one of the most trusted brands by parents and caregiveres around the world and their products undergo some of the most rigorous testing in the industry. We've been huge fans of Britax from car seats to their strollers so when they asked me to review their brand new Babies "R" Us BRITAX ADVOCATE ULTIMATE COMFORT SERIES convertible car seat.
The Britax Advocate is a Convertible Car Seat that accommodates children rear facing 5 to 40 pounds and forward facing from 1 year AND 20 to 65 pounds. This car seat features HUGS Chest Pads with SafeCell Technology, EZ-Buckle system, and Click & Safe indicator just to name a FEW great features.
One thing you may notice is that I didn't say this is an Advocate 70 G3 or CS. New for 2014 Britax has dropped the numbers from the names of their convertibles. You will still find older seats with the numbers on them though.
With the ADVOCATE ULTIMATE COMFORT SERIES you get exclusive the "Manhattan" print (black quilt and gray checkers), dishwasher safe cup holder and memory foam for ultimate comfort. You can really feel the difference with the memory foam added compared to our other Britax convertible seat. Kendall seems more comfortable and hasn't complained when we are our running errands or on a long car ride.
The ADVOCATE ULTIMATE COMFORT SERIES achieves revolutionary head safety through the use of BRITAX SafeCell Technology® in the base, integrated steel bars, and energy absorbing Versa-Tether® that work together to minimize head excursion and reduce the risk of head injury during a frontal impact.
Side Impact Cushion Technology™ features energy-absorbing cushions on the exterior of the child seat to reduce side impact crash energy by 45% by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger.
A new infant insert that's required for infants up to 22 lbs. After the child reaches 22 lbs., the insert must be removed. It's used for proper positioning for harness height and extra comfort.
The Click & Safe® Snug Harness Indicator is an audible aid that provides extra assurance when the harness is within range of appropriate snugness. Also, the new HUGS with SafeCell Technology manages crash energy and forward head movement while keeping the chest clip properly positioned. HUGS came out on 2013 model of seats but the 2014 HUGS version (found on Blvd, Pavilion & Advocate models. Marathon will have "old" version, and Roundabout doesn't have HUGS at all) has a wavy design on the front that the chest clip "locks" into when the harness is properly tightened. This should makes it difficult for children to push the chest clip down. Britax does note that HUGS is still optional for rear-facing children, although they do recommend that they are left on all the time so parents don't accidentally lose them.
You can purchase the Britax Advocate Ultimate Comfort Series exclusively at Babies "R" Us stores for $389.99. Right now through February 17th, 2014 Babies "R" Us is hosting their Great Trade-In Event. That means when you trade in your used baby gear or furniture for a new, let's say… a Britax Advocate, you'll receive 25% off your purchase! Check out more details about the Great Trade-In Event then go shopping!

Monday 18th July Baderitz to Bayreuth
A short drive down the road we came to our next destination for spending quality tourist dollars and that was Colditz Castle. After all our visits to Hitler's other WWII exhibits, it was only just that we should visit a camp that had contained prisoners of war. Colditz is probably the most notable because it supposedly had a good record of failed escapes and is most documented in film and book form. The prisoners held here had either tried to escape from other POW camps or were considered of high intelligence; no doubt this is why Sir Charles Upham, VC and Bar, was held here.
His picture graces the walls of the British wing, along with another NZer. We took a two hour guided tour in English and heard stories of how they lived, but mostly heard tales about various escapes, it all sounded much like Hogan Heroes to me, including the escape side, the underground network and the bribing of the guards, maybe Colonel Shultz really did exist?
Having come to the end of my semi organised tour plan we decided to stock up on fuel and food and do some impulsive sightseeing. Having not included the Romantic Road in the original plan, because its journey down the centre of Germany didn't fit with the overall direction we were travelling, we decided to spend the next few days exploring some of the towns and cities on the scenic romantic road.
To start the journey we have come to Bayreuth, camping in the car park of Sauna/Spa complex with quite a few others, we just managed to squeeze into a slot with power. Today and yesterday's drive took us through more forest roads which have an interesting feature. On every bend or area of gradient are little boxes on the side of the road that are filled with grit to throw on the road when conditions are icy, no need today as the temperature headed into the 30's. ..

The Scale of American Overclassification
[This piece was first posted here, for the Bradley Manning Support Network.] In his closing statement two weeks ago, PFC Bradley Manning's defense attorney David Coombs said of the information released, that it is all out in the public, and yet it hasn't caused any harm. "If anything, it's helped," he said. Coombs called the government's warning about the impact of the releases a "Chicken … Continue reading The Scale of American Overclassification

peter g. james sinclair is in the "heart to heart" resuscitation business, and inspires, motivates and equips others through his highly inhalational Motivational Memo Blog.
Here are Peter's "Five Rules For Life":
1.) There are no rules.
Imagine a world with no rules. Think of a life that can be lived with no constraints. Feel what it is like to have all chains broken. Breathe the "ruleless" air. That's why Napoleon Hill declared many years ago, "whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve." So there is absolutely nothing stopping you from being who you desire to be and from fulfilling whatever you wish to complete in your lifetime. Why? Because there are no rules.
2.) Create your own rules.
The rule canvas is completely blank awaiting for you to create your own rules. What will they be? Maybe they could be love God, love people and then every act that you make is for the betterment of the world that you live in. You have complete control over the rules that you write. What will they be?
3.) Rule your mind.
It's all in your head. The battle for mind superiority, that is. Henry Ford boldly stated that "if you think you can or if you think you can't - you're right". So the choice is yours. You can either yield to the negative thoughts that bombard your mind, or else you can fill your mind with such positivity that there is no place for a minuscule negative gremlin thought to reside.
4.) Let passion rule.
Life lived without passion is a living death. So don't live one moment without plunging into the depths of your passion. For from those depths will be birthed greatness and uniqueness that will encourage others to pursue their passion.
5.) Be unruly.
To be unruly does not make you a rule-breaker, but rather positions you to be a rule-maker. For it is the unruly ones who have lived in the past that have created our present - the misfits, the outcasts, the contrarians, the "beyond the box" thinkers, the dreamers, the inventors, the non-conformists who have created such a beautiful kaleidoscope that we experience in our world today. Be one and create a glorious future!
Peter currently resides in Australia.

IHC Holland launched a fully-automated cutterhead dredge "Al Mirfa" for National Marine Dredging Company of Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates on June 8. The 10500 kW single pontoon dredge is being built at IHC's Sliedrecht yard.
The vessel was named by Linda J. Ferguson wife of NMDC Senior Superindendent Ron Ferguson.
The contract for design and construction of the dredge was signed at the end of 1998 and the dredge will be commissioned and added to the fleet in Abu Dhabi in early 2001.
The dredge is powered by a 1500 kW electric drive and can dredge to a depth of 20 meters using a ladder-mounted submersible dredge pump and a hull pump. The dredge swings by means of a stern spud and two forward anchors and moves forward by a hydraulically powered spud carriage. A 25-ton travelling crane is installed on deck to access to all major equipment. The dredge is being built in accordance with Bureau Veritas rules and regulations.

People do many things to keep their families together. If you do not have the same legal status as your other family members, you may have entered the United States illegally or overstayed your visa just to be with them. However, now you may be facing deportation. Can you ever come back? And if so, when?
The good news is that some people can get a provisional waiver that eliminates the penalties for being here unlawfully, provided you have immediate relatives who are here with the right documentation. At Bolour/Carl Immigration Group, we have had great success in obtaining waivers for people who are eligible. We have helped many clients in Los Angeles and throughout California. We can help you, too.
We speak Spanish and Persian. Tell us how we can help.
Avoid Penalties For Being In The Country Unlawfully
When someone has been in the United States for six months on an expired visa — or without any paperwork to begin with — they are barred from reentering the country for three years. If their status expired more than a year ago, the reentry bar is extended to 10 years.
By applying for a stateside waiver, you can eliminate the three- or 10-year bar on reentry. This will let you overcome circumstances that would normally make you inadmissible.
Who Is Eligible For A 601A Unlawful Presence Waiver?
Only certain people can apply for a waiver. You must meet these requirements:
- Your parent or spouse must be a U.S. citizen or have a green card.
- You must prove that being separated from them would cause extreme hardship to the parent or spouse who is a U.S. citizen.
- After receiving the waiver, you must temporarily return to your home country to seek an immigrant visa. The waiver itself does not change the immigration process.
These are the main requirements, but there are additional ones as well. Please contact our office to see how they apply to your situation. Obtaining a waiver can take six months, but it is part of an overall immigration process that typically lasts between 18 months and two years.
What Counts As 'Extreme Hardship'?
This is different for each person. Separation could cause extreme financial hardship, for example. You might be helping with medical bills or taking care of someone who has cancer. You might be in extreme danger by returning to your country. Everyone's situation is different, and our attorneys will work with you to identify the necessary documentation.
We Work Hard To Keep Your Family Together
We know how much you value your family, and our goal is to help you remain together for as long as possible. To do that, we work incredibly hard. Most people who apply for waivers on their own are denied. However, our team of experienced lawyers has had great success. We know what the requirements are and how to meet them.
Contact us to find out how our lawyers can help. You can email our office or give us a call: 323-857-0034.

"We human beings now have the power to exterminate ourselves; this seems to be the entire sum of our achievement. We have taken this journey and arrived at this place in God's name. This, then, is the best that God (the white God) can do. If that is so, then it is time to replace Him—replace Him with what?" ― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
"In spite of the Puritan-Yankee equation of virtue with well-being, Negroes had excellent reasons for doubting that money was made or kept by any very striking adherence to the Christian virtues; it certainly did not work that way for black Christians." ― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
Did you guys chase Brother Keith off of this forum?
Not I. I don't even read his posts, except when he challenges mine. He must be get sense.
"One would never defeat one's circumstances by working and saving one's pennies; one would never, by working, acquire that many pennies, and, besides, the social treatment accorded even the most successful Negroes proved that one needed, in order to be free, something more than a bank account. One needed a handle, a lever, a means of inspiring fear. It was absolutely clear that the police would whip you and take you in as long as they could get away with it, and that everyone else—housewives, taxi-drivers, elevator boys, dishwashers, bartenders, lawyers, judges, doctors, and grocers—would never, by the operation of any generous human feeling, cease to use you as an outlet for his frustrations and hostilities. Neither civilized reason nor Christian love would cause any of those people to treat you as they presumably wanted to be treated; only the fear of your power to retaliate would cause them to do that, or to seem to do it, which was (and is) good enough." ― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
