Looking Back, Moving Forward
The resulting L'Aquila Food Security Initiative, one of the cornerstone results of the summit, pledged to reverse the neglect of agricultural development with "sustained and predictable" funding and "to act with the scale and urgency needed to achieve sustainable global food security" by working with governments in vulnerable countries to develop and implement their own agriculture strategies.
It was a first step to make good on a promise in the President's inaugural address several months earlier: "To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow, to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds."
It was a major step to begin shaping what the President already envisioned as a legacy for his administration: to be the leader of the greatest effort to end hunger since the Green Revolution, which stands alongside the Marshall Plan as the most significant deployments of American soft-power.
And, above all, it was a decisive step to address one of the world's great problems: the number of chronically hungry people in the world soared past one billion on the heels of the food crisis of 2007-08, when dwindling stockpiles of staple commodities and skyrocketing prices triggered rioting in dozens of countries.Now as the next G8 meeting approaches, in May in Chicago, those forward steps are in danger of retreat. The L'Aquila Initiative was a three-year commitment and it is coming to an end with only mixed results. The last two G8 summits did little to advance the program. President Obama launched his own initiative called Feed the Future to carry out the U.S. L'Aquila promises, and it has survived the Congressional budget-cutting battles fairly well. But some of the other countries have failed to meet their commitments and the momentum of ending hunger through agriculture development has slowed.
The G8's own accountability report, released at last year's meeting in Deauville, France, conceded, "G8 countries have struggled to maintain their official development assistance commitments." It acknowledged that only 22% of the L'Aquila pledges on agriculture development had been disbursed two years into the three-year initiative.
The ONE campaign, an advocacy movement pushing for global policies that would eliminate hunger and extreme policy, produced a report at the time of Deauville charging that, "The G8 and other major donors are not approaching agriculture and food security with the urgency they deserve…A major injection of political will and good faith are needed without further delay to leverage support from other donors, recipient country governments and the private sector."
And so it is up to President Obama in Chicago to restore the urgency and political will that was a hallmark of the L'Aquila Initiative. He will need to summon the passion that moved his fellow leaders in Italy.
In L'Aquila, he insisted that ending hunger through agricultural development be a top G8 priority, even though he wasn't the host. The leaders had come to Italy ready to commit $15 billion to a food security program, but Obama implored them to increase the stake to $20 billion, which later moved up to $22 billion. He did it with an impassioned plea that came from his own family connection to poor farmers in Africa. In briefing the assembled press about the deliberations at the summit, the president's aides stressed his passion for the food security issue so much that it prompted the first question at his press conference. Not the global economic meltdown, not nuclear weapon proliferation, not climate change – the other major topics of the summit – but this:
"Mr. President, we were told that you made your appeal for the food security money personal by citing your family experience in Kenya…"
The President acknowledged that he had talked about his father, who grew up herding goats in a small farming village in western Kenya before heading to the U.S. to pursue higher education. He noted that many family members still lived in rural Kenya; he hastened to add that his relatives weren't going hungry, but that hunger was real and ever-present in those villages. He said the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative was needed to help hungry farmers "become self-sufficient, provide for their families and lift their standards of living."
He also said: "There is no reason why African cannot be self-sufficient when it comes to food. It has sufficient arable land. What's lacking is the right seeds, the right irrigation, but also the kinds of institutional mechanisms that ensure that a farmer is going to be able to grow crops, get them to market, get a fair price. And so all these things have to be part of a comprehensive plan, and that's what I was trying to underscore during the meeting today."
That underscoring needs to be repeated – and done with bold strokes — in Chicago. As host of the meeting, President Obama can insist that agriculture development be a top priority on the G8 agenda and he can assure that it won't be pushed aside by deliberations over debt, recession and the world's conflicts. Chicago, the City of Broad Shoulders, is where the G8 leaders need to accept their responsibility and follow through on their commitments.
The President's own promises to the world's poor and to his own legacy depend on it. As does eventual victory in the fight against hunger.

The First 1,000 Days
Roger Thurow's book will tell the story of the vital importance of proper nutrition and health care in the 1,000 days window from the beginning of a woman's pregnancy to her child's second birthday.
The 1,000 days period is the crucial period of development, when malnutrition can have severe life-long impacts on the individual, the family and society as a whole. Nutritional deficiencies that occur during this time are often overlooked, resulting in a hidden hunger. It is a problem of great human and economic dimensions, impacting rich and poor countries alike.
The Last Hunger Season
In The Last Hunger Season, the intimate dramas of the farmers' lives unfold amidst growing awareness that to feed the world's growing population, food production must double by 2050. How will the farmers, Africa, and a hungrier world deal with issues of water usage, land ownership, foreign investment, corruption, GMO's, the changing role of women, and the politics of foreign aid?
Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman, award-winning writers on Africa, development, and agriculture, see famine as the result of bad policies spanning the political spectrum. In this compelling investigative narrative, they explain through vivid human stories how the agricultural revolutions that transformed Asia and Latin America stopped short in Africa, and how our sometimes well-intentioned strategies—alternating with ignorance and neglect—have conspired to keep the world's poorest people hungry and unable to feed themselves.

Lots of great things come from social media.
The world is more connected than ever.
You can work and communicate with people anywhere in the world. Location doesn't matter as much anymore.
And people freely share all kinds of information. That is wonderful for communication and if you're paying attention it's a great way to learn…at no cost.
What about the business world?
Social media is great for sharing information to attract an audience and the attention of potential customers.
But what about learning about the competition? And using that knowledge to improve your own business?
Social media is great for that too.
Here are some of the ways you can use social media to learn about your competition…
#1. Style, Culture, Values
The first thing you can look for with your competition is the way they run their business in terms of culture.
It's often an overlooked aspect of competitive analysis. Sometimes companies sell things that are very similar. And they sell them for the same price.
When that's the case it's usually something like culture and communication that determines what a customer chooses.
Think of insurance. The companies are all basically selling the same products. They know that it comes down to communicated their style and values to the public so they spend a lot on marketing.
That helps determine if you're going to choose State Farm, Geico or Progressive.
You can learn the culture of your competition. Then learn your own culture. Knowing the difference can help you find the exact right customers.
#2. Pricing, Sales, Discounts
A big one that we usually do want to know, but can't always find out is the pricing. And not just the standard pricing, but any sales and discounts the competition does to try and get more customers.
For most industries, pricing is the thing customers care about most. Not always the lowest price, but the price that offers the most value.
If you're not keeping up with the pricing of the competition you can lose your competitive edge. They might be working to lower prices and if you're not aware you'll lose current and future customers.
#3. Employees
Many company employees put their work affiliation in their social media profiles and even as part of their handles.
This can key you in on a few things.
You can learn the type of employees a company has. You can learn more about their culture that way by the type of content the employees are sharing.
You can also see the type of content that those employees care most about. That can give you insight into the interests of the employees. That can help with your recruiting. The more you know about the employee field the more you can appeal to them.
You can also learn about frustrations that may lead to an employee that's looking for a new job opportunity.
#4. Clients
Many businesses will talk about their clients. Case studies, testimonials, quotes, articles and much more.
The clients and customers also often follow brands on social media.
What can you do with this information?
If you're in B2B, you can add the clients to a little list internally and keep tabs on them. Maybe when the employees changeover it's an opportunity to reach out just presenting your offer and they can internally compare it to your competition.
Those comparisons also happen at the end of each year as executives and managers ask their employees to review contract renewals and look for alternatives even just as an exercise.
#5. New Initiatives
Finally, you can keep up with any changes that the company is going through. New products and services. New campaigns. New employees. All kinds of things that show that they're changing.
It doesn't mean that you have to change with them. It just keeps you abreast of what they're doing and allows you to know how you differ in the marketplace.
People share a lot on social media. Much of it doesn't really matter, but if you're observant and looking for the right information you can learn a lot.
The old saying is that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason…you learn more by listening than by talking.
Fortunately, social media is the same. Especially in business. You learn much more by analyzing than by sharing.

Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival occurs every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. This date is in respect to the lunar calendar which is used by the Chinese. In the Gregorian calendar, used in America, this day would be approximately the fifteenth of September. On this day, the moon is supposed to be at its fullest and brightest of the year. The whole family eats out or in their yards to celebrate and watch the full moon. Children play with paper lanterns and the same lanterns are hung outside the front doors of buildings, such as houses and restaurants.
Mooncakes are eaten and Chinese tea is usually used to wash it down. The name, mooncake, is self-explanatory. It is a round cake, in the shape of a moon. The ingredients of the cake consist of lotus seeds, made into a sort of paste. The paste is surrounded by a crust, which usually has four Chinese characters imprinted on the top.

These characters either tell the type of mooncake it is (i.e. regular, lotus with egg yolk), the name of the store it was bought from, or just simply says mooncake. The origin of the mooncake is in China, during the Sang Dynasty. The Han people were conquered by the Mongolians and named the new dynasty Yuan. The Han people did not like living under Mongolian rule.
Therefore, they wanted to rebel and retake China. However, the Mongolians had taken this into consideration and did not allow the people to communicate (especially public gatherings) or to possess sharp, pointed weaponry. Thus, the people had to find a way of communicating secretly. One group of men thought up the idea of placing a piece of paper with the date of the rebellion inside little cakes, which they would sell to the people, who would read the paper and find out the date. To gain permission from the Mongolian soldiers to sell the cakes, they told them that the cakes were a sort of offering to the gods.
They said that they would pray that the Mongolian emperor could have eternal life. The gullible soldiers quickly agreed. Everyone received the cakes and the rebellion date was set for the fifteenth day of the eighth month. Since the Mongolians could not read Chinese, they did not know of the rebellion, were caught by surprise, and defeated. From then on, the fifteenth day of the eighth month was known as the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate the day of the rebellion.
Many myths are formed about holidays. One which goes with this holiday is about a time when the world had ten suns and the earth was hot and dry. Nothing could survive. A hero stepped forward and used nine arrows to shoot down nine of the suns. He was crowned king and married a beautiful wife.
Within years of his reign, he became selfish and greedy, a dictator. He wanted to live forever and make the people suffer. Therefore, he mixed a powerful potion and made a pill which, when eaten, would give the person eternal life. His wife found him out and stole the pill. To keep her husband from eating it, she ate it herself.
However, after she ate it, she felt her body get lighter and lighter until she was floating. She kept rising higher and higher until she reached the moon, where she lives until this day. There are many variations of this story, such as the bringing of a rabbit with her because the gods wanted to reward her bravery by giving her company for her loneliness. Some people say that they can sometimes see a woman in the moon with a rabbit and a tree (another variation).

The leveraged buyout is very much the fashion right now, although its critics continue to express concern that it burdens a company with too much debt and leaves it vulnerable should the economy turn sour.
What lies ahead for the current rash of leveraged buyouts remains to be seen, but by most accounts the process has been good for Safeway Stores Inc., the giant supermarket chain that used one two years ago to avoid a hostile takeover. Safeway agreed to be acquired by the New York investment firm of Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Company to avoid the Haft family's Dart Group Corporation.
Although there have been some painful moments at Safeway, the leveraged buyout - a process by which a company is taken private primarily with borrowed funds - forced the company to accelerate a restructuring and more quickly trim the chain to its most profitable core.
Safeway is now well ahead of schedule in disposing of assets and reducing debt. And while it has benefited from the reduced costs of operating as a private company, Safeway is expected to go public again, possibly quite soon, analysts say.
''Safeway has had great success in selling off assets and paying down debt,'' said Jonathan Ziegler, an analyst with Sutro & Company in San Francisco. ''It has done an amazingly strong job, though I don't know who to give the credit to - Safeway management or K.K.R.''
That is not to say that Safeway is on easy street. Supermarket chains compete fiercely for every consumer dollar, with profit margins so thin that the companies do well to keep more than a penny of that dollar. Safeway's path to higher margins is to build still larger stores, called ''super'' stores, which offer more prepared foods - a capital-intensive strategy that puts the chain into competition with the equally competitive fast-food industry.
The changes began with a hostile tender offer in July 1986 from the Dart Group, led by Herbert and Robert Haft. That takeover attempt forced Safeway to agree to be acquired by Kohlberg, Kravis in July 1986. The $4.25 billion deal, which closed in November 1986, left Safeway management in command and offered certain officers of the company the right to buy 10 percent of the now closely held concern.
The deal also left Safeway burdened with about $5.75 billion in debt. The company had pared that to about $3.46 billion as of June 18 by the aggressive sale of assets, and has since completed another sale, which should reduce debt by about $300 million. Safeway had 2,326 stores in July 1986; now it has 1,161.
If the shrinkage means that Safeway is no longer the nation's largest food retailer, its parent now clearly is. Kohlberg, Kravis also owns a controlling interest in the Fred Myer Company, a Seattle-based chain of ''hypermarkets,'' and the Stop and Shop Companies, based in Boston. And the big investment firm's appetite for grocery stores is not sated yet; it recently bid $5.03 billion for the Kroger Company of Cincinnati, but withdrew when the offer was turned down by Kroger's management.
Analysts said that Safeway gets some of its best marks for doing an exemplary job in managing its own restructuring. It has been a shared process, Safeway and Kohlberg, Kravis say. While the investment firm keeps its hands off the sale of groceries, it has played an active role in the sale of assets. 'We Gave Them the Courage'
''K.K.R. has never wanted to try to tell us how to run grocery stores,'' said Peter A. Magowan, Safeway's chairman and chief executive. ''They've been very active in helping shape the disposition strategy -what to sell and how to sell it.''
George Roberts, a partner in the investment firm, concurred. ''We gave them the courage and the discipline to do what needed to be done,'' he said. He likens the disposition process to pruning an overgrown forest. ''When you clear away the brush, you release the growth potential of the remaining trees,'' he said. ''That's really what happened at Safeway.''
In most cases, Safeway pruned by selling underperforming divisions. Exceptions were the Safeway stores in Britain, which brought an ''extremely high price,'' Mr. Magowan said, and the sale of 172 Southern California stores to the Vons Companies in a $408 million deal that will also make Safeway the largest shareholder in Vons, the No. 1 supermarket chain in the Los Angeles area.
Safeway management would have preferred to keep some assets, like the British stores. ''It was not a question of what we wanted to do, but what we were forced to do,'' Mr. Magowan said. Still, by paring back to the most profitable operations, ''we've ended up with a smaller company, but one making more operating income on a $13.5 billion sales base than it was on $20 billion,'' he said.
Factors in Safeway's increased operating profits include the decentralization of management, the concentration of capital, and the elimination of less successful divisions, Mr. Magowan said. In addition, operating as a private company reduces costs and time spent serving the shareholder constituency, he said. A Labor Tightrope
But the greatest factor has been reduced labor costs, and that has not come painlessly. Indeed, the company seems frequently to be walking a labor relations tightrope.
Safeway has reached an accord with the United Food and Commercial Workers, which represents store employees, but recently initiated a lockout of teamsters at its northern California distribution centers after that union struck Lucky Stores Inc. Members of the teamsters, laid off after fire destroyed Safeway's Richmond, Calif., warehouse, have appeared on local newscasts singing an irony-tinged version of the chain's advertising jingle: ''You work an honest day and you want an honest deal.''
The sale of Safeway's Dallas division stores to nonunion operators put the company in a spotlight it would have happily avoided. In a speech, the Rev. Jesse Jackson blasted the chain for eliminating 9,000 jobs.
Mr. Magowan said Mr. Jackson's criticism was unfair because the buyers of those stores created at least as many jobs, albeit at lower, non-union pay rates. But he added that the Dallas experience made both Safeway management and the union more inclined to negotiate. In an out-of-court settlement reached after the Dallas sale, Safeway agreed to sell remaining divisions to union operators, and the union agreed to pay cuts that gave Safeway or the new owners parity with competing supermarkets. Union Cooperation Praised
''The fact that Safeway is healthier is due in large part to the cooperation the unions have shown us,'' Mr. Magowan said. He added that Safeway had increased man-hours in the remaining stores by 6 percent in 1988, or the equivalent of an additional 3,300 full-time jobs.
William J. Olwell, executive vice president and director of collective bargaining for the United Food and Commercial Workers, agreed that the relationship between Safeway and the union was now on a good footing, but added that the transition had been anything but easy. ''It's kind of like contracting a dread disease for which the cure is very, very painful, and you're never the same afterward, but you survive,'' he said.
While he complimented Safeway and Kohlberg, Kravis for honoring the agreement with the union, Mr. Olwell said he considered ownership by an investment firm rather than a grocer to be a negative factor. ''The K.K.R. philosophy as we understand it is not to acquire a business to grow it, but to put it back on firm footing and then spin it public again,'' he said. ''They don't talk to us in terms of food merchandising; they talk in terms of the financial page, which we never looked at before,'' he said. ''It's an awful thing.'' Investors Called Patient
Mr. Roberts agreed that he and his partners are investors, not grocers. But he said it was a misperception that the leveraged buyout process is based on quick turnarounds. ''We look at Safeway for the long term as a fantastic business we can continue to build on,'' he said. ''Our investors are all very patient.''
And Mr. Magowan said it was also a misperception that companies inevitably cut capital spending and raise prices after a leveraged buyout. While Safeway did reduce spending in the first year after the buyout, it has increased expenditures steadily since, he said. The company will add 45 stores next year, and continues to remodel existing stores. As for prices, Safeway is more competitive than it has ever been, he said.
The competition seems to agree. ''In the areas that they have targeted to stay in they remain awfully tough competitors,'' said Gary G. Michael, vice chairman and chief financial officer of Albertson's Inc., a chain, based in Boise, Idaho, that primarily competes with Safeway in northern California, Oregon and Washington.
''This idea of raising prices and being uncompetitive - I haven't seen that,'' he said. ''With the narrow margins in this business, you just don't want to see the volume dip at all.'' A Chinese Kitchen
Most grocery chains are looking to prepared foods and other higher-markup items to increase margins. Many Safeways now include full-service bakeries, delis and pharmacies at the center of the store, with traditional grocery items at the perimeter; one store includes a full Chinese kitchen. And the chain has become a major force in the retail wine business; a typical Safeway offers 125 different chardonnays, Mr. Magowan said.
Safeway, ''along with Kroger, helped to innovate the super store,'' said Philip Lempert, publisher of The Lempert Report, a food merchandising and advertising newsletter. They can move ''the more sexy departments up front because consumers will find corn flakes anywhere,'' he said. ''Safeway has always been one of the smartest retailers.''
And as a private company, Safeway enjoys one advantage over many competitors: it need not show quarterly increases in earnings; it need only generate sufficient cash flow to service debt. Despite analysts' expectations, Safeway has no plans to go public soon, Mr. Roberts said. If it does go public, Safeway management and Kohlberg, Kravis say they would retain a controlling interest.
''A good local or regional supermarket chain with management ownership will be better run than the XYZ national chain that is publicly owned,'' Mr. Roberts said. ''If you start two chains up with similar resources, one owned by management who cares, and one owned by a large public company, the former will beat the pants off the latter every time.''

Today's reading is from the Lenormand deck by Robert Place and Rachel Pollack, The Burning Serpent Oracle.
It's a sign of good news, of having hope, and of approaching the mystery with faith and reason to believe in a good outcome. Are you getting ready to go back to school, or getting the kids ready to go back? I know, I know, it's the middle of summer and who wants to be thinking about these things now? But it will come, the school year, and the little ones have every reason for hope. The older kids have reason to feel good about their studies, and you as a parent (if you are a parent) have every reason to feel good about their progress.
But the cards can mean something a little less literal as well: the Children (13) can indicate something new coming into your life, something fresh and clear; or perhaps you are being granted a new way of seeing an old problem. The Stars (16) offer both hope and clarity of vision, so whatever the Child card is about, the good news is that there's good news around it (does that make sense?). The Book of Life (26) is a card of secrets, but also of Fate and Destiny, and when added to the Stars card, the idea of what is fated is emphasized. What is to come is what's meant to be, and it's important to take it in as a child would, with wonder and curiosity and a clarity of mind that is often only granted to the newest of the new. Jump into the unknown, my dears. You are stardust, you are golden. You are billion-year-old carbon. And you've got to get yourself back to the Garden. Where is your Garden?

For those of us who use social media as part of our marketing efforts, one of our goals is to sell our products or services! Of course, we also want to build relationships, increase awareness, build a following and so on, but let's face it, none of those things actually pay the bills. They help, but we also need to actually tell people about what our product or service is and hopefully they'll either make a purchase and/or tell their friends to.
There's a fine line – often a very fine line – between promoting and spamming. While many people may think what you're posting is fine, others may think it's spam. It's like the old saying about art: one person's art is another person's porn.
More importantly, you may think what you're posting is fine, but people who read your posts may think they're spam. That's where the problem comes in. All it takes is a handful of people reporting your messages as spam to potentially have your accounts – personal or business – limited or even banned.
I manage several social media sites for other entities and unfortunately, spam is an ongoing issue. It's important to remember that if it's your Page, Group, etc., you make the rules! I always advise having a statement somewhere that says something along the lines of:
We reserve the right to delete any post containing inappropriate or offensive material or language. Spamming is not allowed and if you post information that is considered spam, your post(s) will be deleted and you may be banned.
That way, if you do have a spammer, you can remove their posts and refer them to the rules.
On one of the sites I manage, we had a person who posted frequently – often daily – about her business. Her posts were only about what she sold. She never contributed to the group in any other way. Additionally, her posts were often in ALL CAPS.
Several members reported her for spamming and as the group manager, I was asked to contact her. The clearly-stated purpose of the group is to network with other businesses in our area. I was polite, pointing out the group rules. As the group is for a business organization like a Chamber, with monthly meetings, I invited her to attend – as my guest – so she could meet the other members and find out more about the organization.
She wasn't happy.
Her reply was pretty snarky, with lots of ALL CAPS, and, as she doesn't live anywhere near the group, she had no interest in attending. She also thanked the Facebook creator for accepting and allowing millions of groups to form (huh?). However, most importantly, she said that her posts weren't spam.
Therein was the problem. She didn't think her posts were spam, but the other group members did. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
So, how do you tread that fine line? My rule-of-thumb is that at least 80% of your posts and comments on ANY social media site should be informational and non-product/service related. Only 10% of your posts should be about your product or service, but you also need to not be "in your face" with your message.
Obviously, if someone has asked for information and you can answer the question with information about your business, it's OK to do so. Just don't go overboard! And remember, it's really bad form to post your product or service information when it's not asked for!
I'd love to get your thoughts on this. If you use social media sites for business, what do you do with spammers? What about on your personal pages? Comment below!

It's possible to frighten a person to death, and people have been charged with and convicted of murder for doing so.
The recognition that a person may be guilty of some degree of murder even though no physical injury was inflicted represents a change from early common law that said the cause of death in homicide must be physical, not nervous or emotional.
One of the oldest in my collection of reference articles explains that in the common law era, the means by which fright could kill was beyond the ken of mortals. Human laws were inadequate to judge such cases because "secret things belong to God."
The nature of the association between fear and death is no longer a divine secret. I have lots of papers that explain the adverse physiological effects of stress on the heart and circulatory system.
For decades before I became a forensic pathologist, medical examiners believed and courts found that the acceleration of a frail person's death constitutes homicide, that ignorance of a person's illness is no excuse and that extinguishing "even the least spark" of life is as much a homicide as killing the most vigorous individual.
In the classic scenario, a store clerk with severe heart disease collapses and dies when confronted with a weapon during a holdup. Almost all medical examiners would certify such a death a homicide.
Though medical examiners agree on certification in the classic case, opinions sometimes diverge depending on the perceived intent of the perpetrator and the nature of the frightening event.
One extreme is a death brought on by a menacing, criminal act – the store clerk scenario. At the other end of the spectrum is the man who collapses and dies when his 5-year-old great-grandson jumps out of hiding and yells, "Boo!"
I'd call such a death natural because mischievous kids are part of the wear and tear of ordinary life.
Between the extremes are more complicated cases:
A frail old man quarreled with a friend over living arrangements. The friend stomped out and inadvertently slammed the door on the old man's hand, causing a painful bruise. A neighbor called 911. The injured man collapsed while describing events to the police. When a fire alarm sounded, a man with congestive heart failure ran to escape from what he thought was a burning building. He collapsed in front of responding firefighters, who found that somebody pulled the fire alarm as a prank.A woman who saw a gang fight outside her window collapsed and died while phoning the police.None of these fear-inducing events was as innocuous as a kid yelling "boo," but no victim's death was intended, and nobody foresaw the possibility. I doubt that murder or manslaughter charges would stick in any of the cases, but most medical examiners think legal charges are irrelevant to their manner-of-death classifications.
A colleague whose intellect and judgment I particularly admire has a system for classifying deaths by fright:
If you think fright caused death and believe intent to harm or kill is necessary for a homicide determination, it's an accident.If you think fright caused death and believe that only the intent to commit the frightening act is necessary for a homicide determination, it's a homicide.If you think the timing of the death was a coincidence, it's a natural.In lots of cases, a medical examiner could reasonably defend any of those certifications. We don't have firm rules – just individual philosophies that sometimes differ.

Appeal of Singapore service sector jobs will gradually dim for foreigners, hence need to reduce quotas: Josephine Teo
SINGAPORE: Singapore's services sector must bite the bullet and prepare for a day when there may be a dearth of foreign workers willing to work here for the sort of pay being offered for their jobs.
Minister for Manpower Josephine Teo says this is one of the main reasons why Singapore needs to reduce its dependency on foreign workers in this sector.
"It wasn't an easy decision to make. We had to mull over the decision many times," she said referring to Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat's Budget 2019 announcement on cutting the foreign worker quota for the services sector.
READ: 'We agonised over this': Chee Hong Tat explains tightening of foreign worker quota for services sector
READ: Budget 2019: Services sector to face 'challenge' of tighter foreign worker quota, but adapting firms will benefit
Also known as the Dependency Ratio Ceiling (DRC), the quota tables the maximum permitted ratio of foreign workers to the total workforce that a company can employ.
The DRC for that sector will be further cut – in two stages – from the current 40 per cent to 35 per cent by 2021.
The S Pass sub-DRC will be lowered from 15 per cent to 10 per cent eventually in 2021.
To further account for these decisions, Minister Teo, who was speaking to 938NOW in a recent interview, pointed to a future scenario of a growing middle class in South-east Asian countries.
If increasing affluence in these countries leads to their citizens start getting a level of pay comparable to what is being offered in Singapore, it may result in many of them declining such services jobs here.
She said: "We have to ask ourselves this question: 'Do we think that it will always be a case where we can get an indefinite supply of foreign workers?'
"And if the answer to that is 'No', then we'd better think twice about that and adjust our policies."
She added that positive outcomes arising from adjusting the DRC cuts will eventually lead to more sustainable business practices, holistic job redesign and reskilling of local workers to adapt to an increasingly digital future.
But the Government will also be helping firms to achieve this and more, via expanded schemes and new initiatives. For example, Finance Minister Heng announced a slew of measures worth S$1 billion to help local companies transform.
In a Facebook post following the Budget announcements, Mrs Teo assured companies there will be no change to DRC quotas in other sectors.
She added that the Manpower Ministry will not raise foreign worker levies. Nor will it make changes to the current policy for Employment Pass holders.

When it comes to incentivising companies to hire workers, particularly older ones and those who have been made redundant or are on the brink of retrenchment, Mrs Teo said programmes from the Manpower Ministry's 'Adapt & Grow' initiative, such as the Career Support Programme (CSP), have worked.
Indeed, such Workforce Singapore programmes have, to date, placed more than 76,000 jobseekers into new roles.
It is why Mrs Teo said she is "very happy" with Mr Heng's announcement that the CSP will be extended for two more years until March 2021.
And contrary to what some people may think, the Minister says many of these workers did not have to suffer a pay cut upon accepting new job offers.
"More often than we dared to expect, these people moved on to better jobs, in terms of pay," she revealed
"Now we don't dare to say that that is a promise, but I can share with that many people have been able to do so."
She added that it takes tenacity and a certain growth mindset to venture into taking up a new job role in a different job environment.
"It does require a certain amount of willingness to adapt to either a different job or a different industry, particularly those who have entered into sectors that are in a growth stage," she said.
"And that is where the opportunity to grow in your career is still possible."
Displaced jobseekers who seek help from Workforce Singapore need not worry about forking out money for training costs, said Mrs Teo. This is because these skills-training programmes are heavily subsidised by the Government and prospective employers.
In all, the 2019 Budget will set aside a further S$3.6 billion to help workers ride the wave of technological disruption.
Another key Budget announcement was the disbursement of the Bicentennial Bonus worth $1.1 billion for lower-income Singaporeans.
Minister Teo says this should not be considered a handout. Instead, they should be seen as a way of recognising and remunerating these employees for their hard work.
READ: Budget 2019: S$1.1 billion Bicentennial Bonus for Singaporeans
READ: Bicentennial Bonus: What you need to know
"The Workfare Bicentennial Bonus recognises that they have put in the effort and therefore, provides them with a top-up that says 'Well done and keep going!" Mrs Teo said.
'If you think about the older Singaporeans who are about to retire, the Bicentennial Bonus package provides a CPF top-up.
"And that essentially says, 'We know you're concerned about retirement adequacy and this is one way in which the government can help.'"
Around 1.4 million lower-income Singaporeans will receive Bicentennial payments of up to S$300 through a GST Voucher cash payout.
Lower-income workers – under the Workfare Income or WIS scheme - will also get a Workfare Bicentennial Bonus.
They will get an extra 10 per cent of their payment for work done in 2018, with a minimum reward of S$100 in cash.

Rorem, Ned. SETTING THE TONE: ESSAYS AND A DIARY. New York City, NY: Coward-McCann, Inc, 1983. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 383 pages. Fine/Fine.
Retrospective collection of essays on music and a diary. One of Ned Rorem's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a tiny first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Ned Rorem's "Setting The Tone". As a single volume, it shows us Rorem in the twin roles that have made him legendary as a writer: An acute essayist and a riveting diarist. He is, of course, widely regarded as the greatest American composer of the Classical art song (of which he has composed literally hundreds). This has not stopped him from writing equally compelling music in every other conceivable medium: Choral pieces, symphonies, operas, chamber music, divertissements, and concertos. Only Paul Bowles comes readily to mind as being a genius of both literature and music. But the two close friends could not be more different from each other: Bowles wrote fiction as well as music that was heavily influenced by his exposure to and immersion in other musical traditions. Rorem wrote essays and music that are firmly grounded in the Western tradition, which he nevertheless writes about with iconoclastic wit and insight. "His meditative voice, his wit, his provocative (and often provoking) ideas constitute a unique sensibility" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Ned Rorem collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in blue pen-marker on the front free endpaper by the author: "With pleasure, Ned Rorem '84". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient is named. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (slight wear on DJ) it still in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest American writer/composers of the 20th century. A fine copy. . ISBN 0698112342. $70.00

Hi there, we're Annie & Steve and we started Londoner In Sydney back in 2014 as a guide to help expats moving to Australia.
Little did we know back then that Londoner In Sydney would grow into having a monthly audience of 130,000+ readers which is insane when we think about it.
We've built Londoner In Sydney to be a resource for anyone moving to Australia in a honest and authentic guide. We'll tell you how it truely is to live a life in Australia as an expat.
You'll also find some of our travels around the world. We've included this aspect because our blog is about inspiring others to visit some the awesome places we've seen around the world too.
If you're interested in getting stuck into our content, go to our Start Here page. Here we've broken down all of the popular parts on our blog so you can get a clear understanding and find out what content our readers love the most.
If you're interested in our story about how we met, we think it's a good un. So we've decided to share it with you below!
How did we meet?
Let's take a little step back from the blog for a minute; we absolutely LOVE to travel.
You know, we actually met during a meditation retreat in the Himalayas (in the town where the Dalai Lama lives) in India back in 2011.
Annie had just started her six months trip around the world as she gave up the corporate London life and Stevo was at the end of his one year away.

We were put into the same small group within the retreat where we had one hour a day to talk about Buddhist topics. It was there Annie started to have a crush on Stevo (because let's face it, she has a thing for Aussie men) and fast forward to a few weeks later, we bumped into each other in the very North of India, right in the middle of the Himalayas.
Stevo convinced Annie to go on a trek the next day and before we knew it, we shared our first kiss 4,000 metres above sea level right in the heart of the mountains.
Side note, trying to kiss that high up is actually pretty impossible!
So we spent three weeks infatuated with each other and travelled around India together. Annie's visa unfortunately ran out and on our final day together in India we had thousands of Indians watch us whilst we had an emotional goodbye at Jaipur train station. Imagine people hanging out of the train doors, the windows, the top of the trains, on the platforms, everywhere. Everyone watched us and it felt like we were in our own movie as Annie got on the train to Agra with tears running down her face.
Fast forward to a month later Annie was working in a tourist bar on Koh Tao island in Thailand and Stevo had been sunning himself on the Andaman Islands.
One day we were both online at the same time and skyped each other. After three hours of talking, Annie convinced Stevo to come and visit her in Thailand before he was to embark on a teaching career in Taiwan.
Within a few weeks, Stevo changed his plans at the last minute, and told Annie he was coming to Bangkok in a few days time. So Annie fled her current trip around Cambodia and made a beeline back to Bangkok. It was then she knew it would be her final few days before spending the rest of her life with Stevo. Mind you, we only knew each other for a couple of months beforehand, but she just KNEW he was the one.
Meeting each other at Bangkok airport was literally like another scene from a movie. Annie jumped over the barriers at the arrivals gate and when Steve walked through, he flung his backpack off and they just ran towards each other. Hundreds of people watched on as we faced one of the most romantic moments of our lives!
From that day on, we've travelled to over 30 countries together, spent pretty much every single day side by side and we are now living our dream of inspiring others to travel and helping people live an awesome life in Australia.
Thanks for following along, we really do appreciate it!
Annie & Steve

VIOLET MENGO, Lusaka & HONE SIAME, Kitwe
GOVERNMENT has given a New Year gift to workers by banning casualisation of labour and unjustified termination of contracts of employment.
The Employment Act has been amended and President Lungu has assented to the revised law.
Minister of Labour and Social Security Fackson Shamenda said this at a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday.
"An employer will not be allowed to terminate employment of a worker without a valid reason,†Mr Shamenda said.
The minister has, however, warned that the law will not shield non-performing and undisciplined employees from being punished or dismissed.
Mr Shamenda said the enactment of the amended Employment Act into law means that it is illegal for any employer to engage an employee on casual basis for any job that is of a permanent nature.
The minister explained that given the rampant violations and exploitation of workers' rights in the country, Government was prompted to fast-track amendments to the employment act to arrest the scourge of casualisation.
He said the new law will also regulate fixed term contracts of employment so that workers are not perpetually kept on fixed term contracts that are renewed at various intervals.
"The Employment Act number 15 of 2015 is indeed a Christmas and New Year present to the workers of Zambia, the majority of whom have for a long time suffered exploitation and abuse of their rights through rampant casualisation,†Mr Shamenda said.
He said, however, that although employers will not terminate employment of workers without valid reasons, non-performing and undisciplined employees will be punished or dismissed.
He said workers must ensure that their productivity and discipline levels remain high.
Zambia Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) president Nkole Chishimba has commended President Lungu for ending casualisation of labour.
Mr Chishimba said in an interview yesterday that the new law was long overdue.
He said Government should ensure the law is enforced to protect Zambian workers from further exploitation by their employers.
He said there is also need for employees to raise alarm to labour inspectors to take action against employers that will abrogate the law.
Mr Chishimba also said labour inspectors need to step up their inspectorate role.
"For us, the issue is about implementation and enforcement. It (law) must be implemented to protect employees from casualisation.
"We appeal to employers to make sure they don't wait for their employees to complain for them to implement the new law. People should report all employers who will breach the law,†Mr Chishimba said.
Patriotic Front (PF) chairperson for labour and social security Joyce Simukoko said she is happy that finally the amendment to the Employment Act has been effected.
Mrs Simukoko, a former president of the Zambia Union of Financial Institutions and Allied Workers, said casualisation of labour has been a major challenge in the country and the PF government has fulfilled its promise to bring the practice to an end.
"I just hope that employers will comply because Government has had huge challenges with some employers complying with labour laws,†she said.
ZCTU secretary-general Cosmas Mukuka said Zambia has been active in advocating the International Labour Organisation decent work agenda, therefore amendment of the Employment Act is necessary.
"If this partial amendment to the employment act can be supported in this manner by other laws which are still in draft form, it will place the country in very good standing in the region,†Mr Mukuka said.
No more casuals

Filed under: Math, Set Theory | Tags: Math, order theory, set theory, topology, weird
When we talked about cardinality, we defined "standardized" finite cardinal numbers as the set , which we modeled as and so on. We've since noted certain special properties of this model:
- the set exists by the ZFC axioms
- because of this, it is "pure" — everything is a set of sets, there are no ur-elements
- the "successor function" is well-defined, injective, and its image is everything but
- because of this, if a statement is true for and its truth for implies its truth for , it is true for all elements of — this is the "inductive property"
- iff , and these synonymous relations are total orders on .
In the discussion of the Axiom of Choice, we defined a "well-order" as a total order in which every subset has a least element, and proved that every set can be well-ordered if we assume the AC. In fact, the subset/element ordering on is already a well-order: given , the set is a least element, and you should prove that this is always an element of (induction might help).
Cardinalities tell us everything about sets up to bijection. But when sets also have orders on them, this isn't enough. If we care about the orders on and , the only functions we should be caring about are those that are order-preserving: that is, that when . Likewise, rather than all bijections, we care about the order isomorphisms: bijections that are order-preserving and have order-preserving inverses. We're "pairing off" the sets again, but in the same order. None of the bijections with in the post on countability did this, and it's pretty clear why: any order isomorphism has to preserve the type of ordering, and is well-ordered while and aren't.
The order isomorphism classes (or order types) of general posets or tosets are many and difficult to talk about. But the order types of well-ordered sets are easier to study. Below the fold, let's take them on.
We define an ordinal as a transitive set well-ordered by inclusion, where by transitive we mean that every element of the ordinal is also a subset of the ordinal. Plainly, the natural numbers as defined above satisfy this condition. But the set does as well! This is our first infinite ordinal, and in these circumstances we write it as . To get beyond this, we'll appeal to a couple of propositions:
Proposition. If is an ordinal, then is as well.
Proof. The elements of are and its elements, and must be greater than each of its elements since it includes them all. is well-ordered: every subset is either a subset of (and has the expected least element), or is union a subset (and has the least element you get if you subtract ), or is (and its least element is ). Similarly, all elements of are , and by definition.
Thus, from , we get . To go further, we need our second proposition.
Proposition. The union of ordinals is an ordinal.
Proof. Let $\latex \beta=\bigcup_{i\in I}\alpha_i$, for some indexing set. Then for all . Any element of is an element of some , thus a subset of it, and so of .
So, for example, the union of the set is a new ordinal; we call it . Because of transitivity, it's not necessary to include the whole set, just for ever-increasing values of . Similarly, we can define , and then take their union to get . Continue further, and you get . For want of a better name, the limit of this sequence is called .
An ordinal of the form is called a successor ordinal; an ordinal not of this form is called a limit ordinal. So is the first limit ordinal, is the next one, and so on. Ordinals don't form a set, because this set, being a union of ordinals, would be an ordinal itself, and thus an element of itself! But the class of ordinals is well-ordered by inclusion, as expected, and when you restrict to an individual ordinal, the well-ordering is preserved. So each ordinal is really the set of ordinals less than it.
This observation leads to an important tool, an analogue of induction on natural numbers. It's called transfinite induction. Again, suppose we have a property, and suppose that the property holds for the ordinal if it holds for all ordinals . Then it holds for all ordinals. Note the zero case is given because any property holds vacuously for the nonexistent subsets of . In practice, it's easier to do one of these proofs in two steps: successors, and limits. Here's an example.
Lemma. No two ordinals are order isomorphic.
Proof. The property in question is " is not order isomorphic to any ordinal smaller than "; we write this as . Clearly holds, because there are no ordinals smaller than .
Suppose but not ; instead, say is order isomorphic to . Since has a greatest element, does too, so is a successor ordinal, say . But then the order isomorphism restricts to an order isomorphism , which is a contradiction. So implies .
Now let be a limit ordinal, and we know for all . Then if we have an order isomorphism , it restricts to an order isomorphism on each , say to . The union of all is clearly , but since we know , then , so their union, , is equal to . By transfinite induction, the proof is done.
Theorem (fundamental theorem of ordinals). Every well-ordered set is order isomorphic to a unique ordinal.
Proof. Uniqueness comes from the lemma. Given a well-ordered set and , define the section of , , to be the set of elements less than . Let be such that for all , is order isomorphic to an ordinal. Such a exists — the least element of is an example. Look at the union of ordinals order isomorphic to for ; this is also an ordinal, and it is clearly order isomorphic to . By transfinite recursion, every element has order isomorphic to an ordinal. Let , with for all . This is also well-ordered, and so is order isomorphic to a unique ordinal.
So our claim that ordinals enumerated order types of well-ordered sets was correct! Before we leave set theory forever, let's look at a few cool things you can do with ordinals.
First, we can define cardinals as ordinals. Assuming the Axiom of Choice and hence the Well-Ordering Theorem, any set can be well-ordered, and so has an order isomorphism to an ordinal. If we ignore the order part, this is just a bijection. We can look at all the ordinals bijects with in this way; since the ordinals are well-ordered, this set has a least element, and we call this the cardinal number corresponding to . Thus, is just , the smallest countable ordinal. The smallest uncountable ordinal is usually written ; whether this bijects with depends on whether you accept the continuum hypothesis. Note that is the set of countable ordinals (or union of them, your choice).
Besides , there are some other large ordinals. We might talk about ordinal arithmetic later, but for now look at this. We defined as the limit of . Another way of looking at this is by saying that is the smallest ordinal with . But other ordinals could satisfy this: the next such is the limit of . We can call these successive solutions , where $\iota$ is indexed by the ordinals! But even this isn't good enough. All of these epsilons are defined by what are called "computable" functions, which basically means something a human or computer can define. We can take the union of all computable ordinals to find the first non-computable one: the Church-Kleene ordinal, . Oh, by the way, this is still countable. And it gets worse…
Last, since these guys basically are order, let's look at their order topologies. We saw that has the discrete topology, and is discrete except at its last element, , which is a limit point. In general (investigate this yourself), the limit points of an ordinal with the order topology are precisely its limit ordinals! Oh, and uncountable ordinals are also interesting, because they show that sequences aren't good enough to understand limit points. For instance, is a limit point of , and its greatest element; but any sequence of ordinals less than it is countable, and thus converges to some countable ordinal below it. So in this space is a limit point but not a limit of any sequence! We'll come back to these examples often.
I think I'm done with set theory for a while now. We'll get onto some classical topology tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

Mark as Story: An Introduction to the Narrative of a GospelRhoads, David, Joanna Dewey and Donald MichieMinneapolis: Fortress, 2012 pp. xiv + 191.3rd Edition. $24.00
Description: For thirty years, Mark as Story has introduced readers to the rhetorical and narrative skill that makes Mark so arresting and compelling a story. Rhoads, Dewey, and Michie have helped to pioneer our appreciation of the Gospels, and Mark in particular, as narratives originally created in an oral culture for oral performance. New in this edition are a revised preface and an afterword describing the significant role Mark as Story has played in the development of narrative criticism.
