I don't read the Lagniappe every week but enjoy it when I do. I really had to applaud you on the only column ("Scattered logic in comparing Waffle House to Starbucks," Damn the Torpedoes, April 25-May 1 issue) that really explained the true story of the now-infamous Waffle House story of the grossly over-publicized actions of Chikesia Clemons. You did it with facts and humor and said it exactly like it was instead of how the media and NAACP wanted it to be portrayed.
If the same thing had happened to a white, drunk Mardi Gras patron (as it probably has many times), there would not have been a word said or written about it. The drama people cause with their overreaction to every situation is what causes the unrest all over the country; it is very disturbing.
Of course, the media is also to blame for spreading and enlarging the facts just to sell their stories. That's why I'm praising you for telling it like it was instead of how the troublemakers like for it to be portrayed..
Thank you for your honesty, humor and truth.
Linda Foy
It is a sad comment on the state of our culture and public discourse that, given the times, I find your piece this past week "courageous." I am sure it generated some pushback, but it was a reasonable and sensible analysis. Of course, there are two sides to every issue, and apparently there is some disagreement among witnesses as to what actually happened at the Waffle House. Perhaps footage from the surveillance camera will provide some objective evidence as to what actually transpired.
Racism, in all its forms, is wrong. But logic would dictate that not every incident that occurs has a racial component. We live in a very "in your face" time in our culture. There is nothing wrong with daring to defend one's rights. In fact, it is a laudable practice. Rights, however, generally come with responsibilities and civility may well be a responsibility which is not well attended these days. We also live in a time of shameless self-promotion, and there are those who are not above using any incident which occurs to advance an agenda.
While I do not pretend to know what is in his heart or his mind, I see where Rev. (Al) Sharpton is coming to town this week to discuss this incident. One has to wonder if it is really worth his time. Perhaps it is; I do not know. If the facts show the police acted wrongly, that should be addressed. We should seek to right wrongs. But stoking societal conflict and division does not serve the greater good. Ms. Clemons' attorney is quoted in Jason Johnson's related article using the description "unarmed black woman" four times in a single sentence. It does not appear we will have a color-blind society anytime soon, and more's the pity.
Over the years, I have had several interactions with various law enforcement agencies. I realize I was born about the middle of the last century, but I was taught from kindergarten on to trust and respect the police. As an adult, I learned that the police are as human as anyone else, and do not always act rightly. But I have always found a low-key, respectful approach to work best. Maybe I lack courage, but a "butt-whipping" or being arrested was something I wished to avoid. It just seemed like a counterproductive waste of time to me.
As I have said, the police should be held accountable for their actions. But there does seem to be a national "attack" on policing agencies. I would submit that if we do not return to some degree of reasonableness in our interactions with law enforcement, the quality of individuals attracted to the profession will degrade over time. And that serves no one's best interest.
We do live in interesting times.

It was hand built in the late 1890s by a teenager named James Henry Blair, using materials scavenged off his father's Gloucester farm. Artifacts at the Canada Science and Technology Museum give us a rare chance to explore the mindset of this young inventor as he puzzled through the process of how to build a bicycle with limited resources.

The History of Homo Sapiens' Origin has Changed
Jesse Rogerson, PhD
Canada Aviation and Space Museum
Jul 25, 2017
Researchers from the Max Plank Institute in Germany have found humanoid fossils at a site in Jebel Irhoud, Morocco that are anatomically similar to homo sapiens and are measured to be approximately 315,000 years old. That is over 100,000 years older than the previously known oldest human remains, found in Ethiopia. This evidence completely changes our understanding of where and how-quickly homo sapiens emerged onto the African scene.

This post is the eighth in a series giving practical advice to startups with respect to understanding and negotiating a venture capital term sheet.
In the prior seven posts, we provided an introduction to negotiation of the term sheet and discussed binding and non-binding provisions, discussed valuation, cap tables, and the price per share, discussed dividends on preferred stock, explained how liquidation preferences work, discussed the conversion rights and features of preferred stock, examined voting rights and investor protection provisions, and analyzed anti-dilution provisions. This post will discuss carve-outs to anti-dilution provisions that typically do not trigger dilution adjustments and also examine "pay to play" provisions. [Read more…]

Following offensive social media comments by California Democratic Party Credentials Committee Co-Chair Neal Zaslavsky, CDP Chairman Eric Bauman released the following statement:
"As we made clear last week, we must hold ourselves accountable when it comes to ensuring that our California Democratic Party is a place where everyone can participate and contribute their time, energy and activism free from harassment and intimidation. I take this commitment very seriously. To that end I have asked for and received Neal Zaslavsky's immediate resignation from the Credentials Committee for comments he made directed towards a fellow member of the DSCC on social media.
Our California Democratic Party will always have passionate debates on issues, but those debates must always come from a place of mutual respect and honest debate, and it's up to all of us to hold each other accountable to those standards."
Arab American Caucus chair and CDP E-Board Member Iyad Afalqa expressed his dissatisfaction regarding DNC Chair Tom Perez's purge ousting several DNC Executive Committee members including longtime member and Arab American Institute president Dr. James Zogby. In a Facebook post, Afalqa stated,
Tom Perez alienation of Dr. James Zogby from DNC Executive Board is a clear message to the Arab Americans and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders supporters: We don't need you on board. But we need your $$$ and #Votes. First, the Democratic Party undermined Keith Ellison, because Haim Saban threatened to cut the funding to DNC if Keith is elected the chair of DNC. Now Dr. James Zogby.
#AIPACPandering. When the DNC Headquarters is moving to Tel Aviv?
In response, Zaslavsky replied:
What kind of fucking anti-Semitic comment is that? Move the fucking headquarters to Tel Aviv. Go fuck yourself you Jew-hating bastard. Fuck you and your anti-semitism. People like you are the reason we don't peace.
Iyad then mentioned that his father's – who was recently attacked in the occupied East Jerusalem suburb of Beit Surik – "blood is on your hands," Zaslavsky said:
Get off your fucking high horse you Jew-hating bastard. Your "Tel Aviv" comment was beyond the pale, and rather than apologize, you double down. And for the record, the capital of Israel 🇮🇱 was, is, and always will be Jerusalem, whether or not your people are holding hostage our Temple Mount.
And if your Dad's blood has been spilled, it joins in the pool of blood of the tens of thousands of innocent Israelis and others who have been murdered by your terrorist suicide bombers.
On October 4, Israeli Army Forces Special Unit who were disguised in civilian clothes pistol-whipped the elderly 69 year old Mustafa Afalqa him with a 5-stitches wound by the right eye, face and bruises in other areas of his body. Read the full story of Iyad's father here.

State Grid Corp of China, which runs the majority of China's electricity distribution networks, said its clean power generation installed capacity has reached 550 million kilowatts, 73 percent of the nation's total capacity of 700 million kilowatts.
The installed capacity for hydropower generation, wind power and solar power reached 227 million kilowatts, 146 million kilowatts and 153 kilowatts respectively, up 1 percent, 13 percent and 33 percent compared with the same period in 2017, making the company the world's biggest power grid with access to the largest installed capacity, the company said on Thursday.
This is as China has made substantial progress in developing clean energy, totaling 700 million kilowatts of installed capacity for hydropower generation last year, which accounts for 30 percent of the total global installed capacity for clean energy.
China will step up efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and improve its energy consumption mix to ensure improved air quality. It plans to cut carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 60-65 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels, while investing 2.5 trillion yuan ($366 billion) in renewable energy by 2020, according to the National Energy Administration.
Analysts said despite the substantial progress made by China on clean energy generation, it still looks tough to achieve the government's target of 5 percent or less curtailment rate by 2020.
Joseph Jacobelli, an independent energy analyst and Asia-Pacific CEO of clean energy producer Joule Power, said the nation's momentum in accelerating the use of clean energy picked up speed since the 2011 to 2015 period, and the fast pace has enabled China to become the undisputed clean energy growth engine in the world.
"I don't think this momentum will stop in the next two to three decades," he said.
"If you look at just the recent numbers, they are simply amazing. The country has been able to aggressively change its energy mix."
Qinghai province in northwestern China has set a record, running only on electricity generated from wind, solar and hydropower stations for nine consecutive days last June, which is a successful testament to China's commitment to a low-carbon future.
According to China State Grid's Qinghai branch, electricity consumption during the nine days reached 1.76 billion kilowatt-hours, and it said it would expand the duration of the clean energy power supply project to one month or longer this year.
The company will continue expanding its network for clean energy this year, aiming to transfer some 12.6 billion kilowatts of clean energy compared with the total 42 billion kilowatts of energy in total.

The holidays are almost here, and with that the new year! As the year comes to an end you may be thinking about your marketing endeavors. And thinking about giving it one more big push before the end of the year. This is a busy time of year for plumbing and HVAC companies, so ramping up your marketing game at the end of the year makes a lot of sense. Here some end of year marketing tips that can help you close out the year with a bang.
Measure Your Successes
Before you move forward with your end of year marketing strategy, it is important to take a look at your marketing successes for the year. What worked? What didn't work? Afterall, you want to spend your time and money where it counts right? Since we only have a short while until the end of the year, you want to put forth your effort and your resources into areas that are going to deliver the biggest ROI. Some things to consider:
- What platforms deliver the most traffic?
- What type of content archives the most engagement?
- Which keywords are the most effective?
- How is your conversion rate?
- What type of ads deliver the biggest ROI?
Up The Ante With What Works
Once you have answered the above questions, you will know what areas to focus on. If Google Service ads are your jam, consider increasing your budget. If most of your traffic is coming from sites like Facebook, consider boosting some fresh content. The point is, do more of what works best.
Spread A Little Holiday Cheer
As far as end of year marketing tips go, spreading a little holiday cheer makes a lot of sense. Tie the holidays into your marketing strategy. The holidays are always really busy for home service companies because of the extra entertaining that goes on. Use this to your advantage.
Run A Promotion
Again, since the holidays are such a busy time, and with all the black Friday sales and cyber Monday deals, it makes sense to offer a promotion. This helps generate engagement with your brand by giving something back to your customers. A promotion can help make existing customers feel appreciated and incentivizes new customers to become repeat customers.
Be Social

Most participants of team training sessions get completely fired up to act upon valuable insights from their training day. As trainers, we find this very gratifying since the action is a key part of learning. But we know that people can quickly lose their energy when they return to the office to face their bulging inboxes, urgent demands and the seductive lure of the convention. No matter how good we are as "fire-starters", we need people to feed the flame of self-improvement in the weeks following the training event. The job of keeping the fire going typically falls to the team manager and Human Resources department.
In an effort to help make training "stick", Summit has created a training follow-up guide for managers. We send this document to each team leader after the training program to help them support their staff members and teams on their journey to high performance.
The goal is to keep the learning 'top of mind', and to ensure that action plans become, well, actions.
In the next two blogs we will share some of our suggestions for training follow up regarding team and individual action plans.

"Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort warns Richard Quest about getting into bitcoin.
"Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort warns Richard Quest about getting into bitcoin.
So essentially it's just like the NYSE
He looks like he's on coke
And he was right
if belfort is doing this as a community service requirement from that past thing with the sec and the fbi, thanks for the heads up jordan, i appreciate it.
Save this video. Watch it again 20 years from now and laugh your brains out!
Pretty safe to say, "He called it."

This guy is a financial expert? All he did was basically say "blah blah blah Bitcoin copy cats" and "yadda yadda pump and dump".
Bunny tokens still a thing ?
He was right
This is the only way he knows how to get paid Lie!!!
'Everything that isnt bitcoin is a pump and dump' hahahahahahahahahaha
He called it!!!
When I saw last year that bitcoin ads were all over the place( youtube, emails, tv, etc)…..to me that was a Warning sign. It was impossible to be legit.
Someone(a group of scammers…) made a huge "pump and dump" and used all that publicity to do it.
The people who entered the market late, before the December drop in price, were suckered into buying bitcoin when it was expensive.
Now all the crypto youtuber's try to convince people to hold and wait.
"Wait for the next big rise in price" – that will never come in my opinion. (maybe they are payed to influence people not to get out the market so fast and also to lure others in with the promise of a new opportunity).
When will people learn? These types of scams are not new.
I have wolves of crypto street in my office..
This is one of the most scandalous persons in American history any one taking advice from a scam artist needs to get their head checked
I've made Millions from Bitcoin and there's more millions to come…I don't listen to a word this guy says…
Many of you are saying "Oh look, a fraud telling me what's a fraud!" " a schemer telling me what's a scheme! Ha! I'm not listening".
It's like saying "A drug addict telling me about drugs! What's does he know!!" .
I'm not praising the man but if he participated in fraudulent acts and he's telling you what s a fraud, I would listen. Not saying take his word as gospel but he obviously knows how a scheme works. And the more information you know, WILL NOT hurt you.
bitcoin is Hitler's dream money, BC THE JEWS CAN'T TOUCH IT!
and now the bit-thing is worth 20% of is peak value…
i believe it's only a matter of not if but when a BTC ETF gets approved. dozens if not hundreds of ETFs will get rejected by the SEC, but eventually one will get approved. By then, perhaps almost all BTC will have been mined or close to it. People forget that it's like the 90's when the internet was just getting started. Blockchain tech isn't going anywhere.
Whyyiiii, sir, do you believe…. 0:36
"If everyone is buying you start selling if everyone is selling you start buying "
You have genuine opinions that could result in concern on some issues…
But you have to remember mr Belfort, crypto currencies started underground, it's been against the government from day dot (when corrupt Wall Street's 2008 financial crisis took effect to be exact) you said the government isn't going to let this happen, this will and is happening regardless even if the government placed a total ban, it will just knock the unground market back a few years, and we will rise again.
The government can choose to spend time and money to try and stop innovation which they won't, or can work with us, we are putting the ball in their court not vice versa.
In 3 years from now, the entire world will be saying, "remember all that crypto-currency scam, bubble nonsense? How was I so gullible?"
People complain about criminal banksters running the baseless fiat monetary system. But at least the criminals have the laws and regulations, and a tax system, and a banking system on their side, and if all else fails, the fiat system is enforced by weapons.
Whereas, crypto currency is backed by the slippery foundation of the GULLIBLE FOOL THEORY. What a fraud.
Don't believe anything with the letters cnn in it
Jordan Belfort is not smart…
There's not 1 rich or influential person out there.. not 1 filmmaker who has compassion to film the victims who are still owed a $100 million dollars by this dirtbag.
This past year year the US gov't threatened to throw him back in jail if he doesn't start really paying his restitution .
See the vid on the Inside Edition Channel called :" Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort still living lavish lifestyle "
He pays back about 5,000 a month so technically in about 1600 years he will have paid off his debt.
Yeah he lies and says it is paid off.
On YouTube here I see only 1 video that interviews one or two of his victims.
I wish somebody who really cares will make a documentary and interview his victims… see how he ruined them and how some of them have been destroyed well Jordan Belfort sleeps good at night.
The man is a psychopath ..a very Charming psychopath… where is the justice for his victims…. why is the government not garnishing the money from his books and lectures at the very least ?
Does anybody else understand what I am saying here ? Or is almost everybody brainwashed by this con artist.
The debate is really interesting right now. We see hyperinflation in both Turkey and Venezuela and their respective bitcoin trading volumes are huge as the local's filter as much money in Lira and Bolivar's out and into a decentralized digital currency. What would you do if the country and currency you are living in suffered hyperinflation? For various reasons, Bitcoin can be an excellent inflationary hedge.
The SNAKE of salesmanship

I have a love/hate relationship with biographies and memoirs. On the one hand they are the natural adjunct to reading history. My problem is (and I fully acknowledge this an unfair and possibly self-defeating) I only really care about the parts of the subjects life that occurred during the events that made them worthy of having a biography or memoir in the first place. I don't really care about their childhood or any of the other things that get put in as "filler." People always say to me "but those are the things that made the person who they are". Yes but if they are doing a good job writing it, you'll figure out the "kind of person they are" from the main narrative.
This diatribe is kind of the long way of getting to how I picked up Land of Lost Borders. The short answer is, Silk Road. I'll read anything about the Silk Road. This particular book is about Harris and her friends cycling the sections of the Silk Road that are still roads over the course of several years. The book opens with her and a friend sneaking into Tibet and ridding to Lasa. The parts where they are on the Silk Road are fantastic. I think her bike level view of the world gives the setting a granuler look that travelers by plane or car wouldn't be able to describe. She also does a great job of conveying the extreme exertion she is under crossing a very unforgiving landscape. Heat, cold, mountains, unimproved roads and saddle sores are omnipresent.
My only quibble, and I'll be the first to admit that it is a very personal quibble, I didn't enjoy the parts of her life that weren't about the Silk Road. This is no doubt because I was there for the silk road so everything else was just getting in the way of that. Her life beyond the silk road is certainly interesting. She wanted to be an astronaut on the mission to Mars so spend several months training in the desert in Utah. So definitely pick this one up if you love travel writing or biography.

John's mother took her husbands' death very hard. She could no longer run the stable business that her husband ran for so many years. With these facts in place, Frances then looks to remarry to help run the business. Barely two months after her husbands' death, she remarried a minor bank clerk named William Rawlings on June 27, 1804. William was a fortune hunter and the children did not like him at all. Mr. Rawlings did not care about anything but money during their marriage, which made the marriage an indefinite disaster. Upon the end of their ill-fated marriage John, along with his other siblings were sent to live with their grand parents, months later Frances moved in also. Frances also left Mr. Rawlings with the stables she inherited from her late husband Thomas, and from that day forward Frances health began to dwindle away.
The times up until know have been very hard on the Keats family, especially hard on the children, they only get worse as time goes on. The children loved being around their grandparents and living with them, they cared very deeply about them. On March 8, 1805, John Keats grandfather died of natural causes. With his death not only did grief and sorrow fill the families heart; his death also brought on a financial burden, which will seem to consume John for the rest of his life.

This issue of money all began when Mr. Jennings, being the gullible person he was, hired a land surveyor, not a lawyer to write his will. The sneaky land developer intentionally made John's grandfathers' will to be extremely vague and ill written. Mr. Jennings real wishes were obscured and open to interpretation.
The fight over shares in the estate began shortly after his death (and ended long after John Keats' death). John's grandmother was left with about half of the income, which she and her husband had to live on. To live comfortably, she moved into a smaller home and attempted to save what she could. In her own will, John's grandmother appointed Richard Abbey trustee and guardian of her grandchildren. At this time she felt he would be a great help to the children when she passed on.

Global Cloud-based Content Management Services Market for the Higher Education Sector 2016-2020
About Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is being increasingly adopted by educational institutions as it offers flexible and scalable services at nominal costs, such as consumption-based payment models. These exempt educational institutions from investments in outdated hardware and applications and enable them to adapt the latest technologies. In addition, apart from providing numerous client platforms, for both inside and outside educational institutional work, it streamlines processes by standardizing software, offering a shared pool of software applications and services, and providing centralized licensing and updates to the schools. As a result, the lead time involved to develop and implement multifaceted solutions, even without in-house expertise, is significantly less, which improves the learning process cycle.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global cloud-based content management systems (CMS) market for higher education to grow at a CAGR of 30.03% during the period 2016-2020.
Covered in this report
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global cloud-based content management systems (CMS) market for higher education for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sale of education content management software solutions that use cloud platforms to higher educational institutions.
The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
Press Release
Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global Cloud-Based Content Management Systems (CMS) Market for Higher Education 2016-2020
Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global cloud-based content management systems (CMS) market for higher education: Campus Suite, Ingeniux, OmniUpdate, and Percussion Software.
Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Hannon Hill, Jadu, Krawler Information Systems, Schoology, White Whale Web Services, and Xyleme.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "The data captured can then be analyzed for the type of information shared by learners. While understanding the pattern, institutions can update content and upload materials that can help students have a better e-learning experience. The traditional CMS are unable to offer these kind of features and hence cloud-based CMS have been introduced. Cloud CMS that consists of various other features are supporting informal learning for their users. This trend is slowly gaining momentum in the education sector."
According to the report, rising support toward e-learning will be a key driver for market growth. With the onset of online teaching and learning methods, there has been a greater need for online content creation, management, and delivery. Content management-related activities have been shifted to online learning platforms. Content production specific to the needs of students, teachers, staff, and other parties require particular software, such as LMS, LCMS, and other content authoring tools. As a result, teachers leverage the freedom to create, add, modify, and edit course content from anywhere and anytime according to their work schedule. Institutions that do not possess adequate technical expertise and resources rely on cloud-based services and are able to utilize content-related services.
Further, the report states that many educational institutions are facing a challenge in choosing suitable cloud solutions for the education system. The lack of differentiation among product features offered by vendors is one of the reasons users are confused. In addition, the compatibility differences of the services with the infrastructure available is another drawback. All these factors are cumulatively influencing the decision process of institutions to choose suitable cloud CMS. With a large amount of information available on the internet and the presence of open-source platforms for various software, the decision-making process has become more complex. Choosing the right vendor is a challenge, as many software enterprises and regional core cloud content management vendors have market presence across the globe.
Companies Mentioned

UNDATED - South Dakota gas prices have fallen 2.0 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.47/g today, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 628 stations. Gas prices in South Dakota are 8.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago, yet stand 36.5 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in South Dakota is priced at $2.29/g today while the most expensive is $2.89/g, a difference of 60.0 cents per gallon. The lowest price in the state today is $2.29/g while the highest is $2.89/g, a difference of 60.0 cents per gallon. The cheapest price in the entire country today stands at $1.75/g while the most expensive is $5.49/g, a difference of $3.74/g.
The national average price of gasoline has fallen 5.1 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.58/g today. The national average is down 6.3 cents per gallon from a month ago, yet stands 22.4 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
Historical gasoline prices in South Dakota and the national average going back a decade:October 28, 2018: $2.83/g (U.S. Average: $2.81/g)October 28, 2017: $2.45/g (U.S. Average: $2.46/g)October 28, 2016: $2.22/g (U.S. Average: $2.21/g)October 28, 2015: $2.31/g (U.S. Average: $2.19/g)October 28, 2014: $3.12/g (U.S. Average: $3.02/g)October 28, 2013: $3.23/g (U.S. Average: $3.27/g)October 28, 2012: $3.55/g (U.S. Average: $3.54/g)October 28, 2011: $3.51/g (U.S. Average: $3.44/g)October 28, 2010: $2.84/g (U.S. Average: $2.79/g)October 28, 2009: $2.65/g (U.S. Average: $2.67/g)
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:Sioux Falls- $2.43/g, down 2.4 cents per gallon from last week's $2.46/g.North Dakota- $2.55/g, up 1.6 cents per gallon from last week's $2.53/g.Nebraska- $2.52/g, down 1.5 cents per gallon from last week's $2.53/g.
"The air is getting crisp, the leaves falling, and for the third straight week the national average price of gasoline has too, " said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Most states saw notable declines, while California and the Great Lakes states saw the largest dips. Solidly in the rear view are California's previous refinery issues that caused prices to soar, but now a new problem- filling up with the cheaper gasoline as power outages have cut access to hundreds of stations across the state. GasBuddy has again activated its emergency tracker for California, and this event is unlikely to impact gas prices, so long as refineries don't lose power. Across the rest of the country, the Great Lakes states saw prices fall far faster than wholesale prices, and a correction is likely in the region. With that exception, the nation should see a fourth straight week of decline with over three-quarters of stations passing along lower prices in the coming week."

They were so wonderful and took it back and replaced it with no problem. I also bought my husband a matching wedding band. We are so happy with them. The service was so fast. I can't say enough about them. This is the only ring my husband has ever worn in the 30 years I have known him.
My overall experience with Happy Lauleu has been excellent. They have a great website and very helpful customer service.
It is just what we wanted

GM announces uncapped fund for ignition switch victims
After months of investigations and internal probes, General Motors (GM) announced how it intends to compensate the victims of the deadly ignition switch defect that killed at least 13. Kenneth Feinberg, a compensation expert hired by GM earlier this year, outlined the specifics of the plan and who is eligible.
Previous speculation and GM's actions worried some that their claims wouldn't be evaluated because the accident occurred after the automaker filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Feinberg, whose past victims' funds experience includes 9/11, Boston marathon bombing and the shooting at Virginia Tech, told the media there are no time exclusions.
Additionally, the current death tally for the faulty switch doesn't include victims who were in the backseat of the wrecked vehicle, but Feinberg reiterated this was not a deterrent either. Admitting money cannot replace a loss of life, he created equations to determine the amount each claim will receive in an attempt to ease the pain and financial burdens resulting from the accidents.
Starting August 1, those wishing to file a claim will have until December 31 at 11:59 p.m. Upon filing, questions must be answered about the accident and its cause to show it was due to the ignition switch defect, although absolute proof is not required. If the airbag deployed, it is an immediate refusal. Other factors previously used as reasons for the accidents, including speeding, texting, drinking and not wearing a seatbelt, aren't deterrents for claims.
The fund covers three types of claims: deaths, catastrophic injuries and less-serious injuries. From there, the matrix helps determine the exact amount due based on age and income. Claimants range into the millions depending on the facts of the case.
While most will be decided using the system, some cases will be determined by Feinberg based on the uniqueness of the situation. For example, a woman from Texas believed for most of a decade that it was her fault her boyfriend died in a car accident when she was driving. A trace of Xanax in her system led to a manslaughter charge. Learning about the defect freed her from blame, but also allowed years of pain to resurface, leading Feinberg to take a personal interest. He calls it an "extraordinary circumstance" and should be evaluated without the formula.
In recent interviews, GM CEO Mary Barra promised to do the right thing and remedy the mistakes of her company. This led to the decision to trust Feinberg's judgment and allow victims from any time and location to file for a claim.
Anyone who files a claim agrees not to sue GM, but those considering or currently in the process can still submit as a free preview to see what they can receive. If someone received money from a previous lawsuit for the defect, they can still file a claim and if more money is awarded than what they received in court, they can receive the difference through the fund.
If you believe you have a claim against GM due to the ignition switch defect and would like to determine your compensation amount, visit Feinberg's site for more information and how to get in contact with him. He's willing to meet with anyone who files for more information.

Public Citizen on Tuesday launched a new project aimed at documenting President Donald Trump's vast entanglement of business interests and highlighting "the urgent need for the president to disclose his tax returns so Americans can determine the extent of his business holdings and how they may be affecting his policy decisions."
"Trump has created at least 49 business entities since he announced his bid for the Republican nomination on June 16, 2015."
—Public Citizen"Our current president has two jobs: leader of the free world and owner of hundreds of business entities worldwide. That combination is toxic for democracy," Michael Tanglis, a senior researcher for Public Citizen's Congress Watch division who coordinated the project, said in a statement.
In a report accompanying the launch of the project—titled "President Trump Inc."—Tanglis notes that despite Trump's persistent refusal to release his tax returns, there is abundant evidence of "a massive conflict problem based on what we already know from his 278e financial disclosures."
Public Citizen's analysis of available documents found that "Trump has created at least 49 business entities since he announced his bid for the Republican nomination on June 16, 2015."
"Roughly half of the entities were related to projects in foreign countries, including Argentina, India, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia," the report notes.
Furthermore, just "[s]even days after he announced his candidacy for president, Trump formed more businesses than he had on any previous day. The businesses were related to projects in Indonesia."
The report goes on to argue that Trump's moves to distance himself from his business empire following the presidential election were "cosmetic at best." Public Citizen explained in a video:
"The risk of self-dealing, conflicts, and corruption is just as great as if there were no separation at all," Tanglis notes.
An interactive map and a downloadable dataset, both released alongside the new report, show the complexity of Trump's business ties, revealing the vast number of potential conflicts of interest.
"The information in this report should provide a clarion call to Congress to require him to disclose his taxes and to establish prohibitions on Trump using his office to enrich himself."
—Lisa Gilbert, Public Citizen"The knowledge that [Trump] is still ultimately in control of his businesses alone is enough to invite corruption," Tanglis adds. "It's a recipe for disaster."
In refusing to distance himself from this sprawling business empire, "Trump has made a mockery of the public trust," said Lisa Gilbert, vice president of legislative affairs at Public Citizen. "The information in this report should provide a clarion call to Congress to require him to disclose his taxes and to establish prohibitions on Trump using his office to enrich himself."
As Common Dreams has reported, Trump is currently facing several lawsuits that allege he has used the office of the presidency to turn a profit.
Tanglis observes at the close of his report that while Trump may be an "unprecedented" case as the first president with "a global business empire," he is nonetheless a "natural culmination of the decades-long stranglehold wealthy individuals and corporations have had on public policy."
"For far too long, they have achieved an outsized influence on public policy by filling the coffers of elected officials who in turn craft policy to their benefit," Tanglis concludes.

KLM's Email Offers a Chance at Inspiring Travel Stories
As this email shows, you can offer a prospect the smallest of tastes to whet their appetites for much more.
Mailer Name: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Date Mailed: January 3, 2017
Founded in 1919, KLM is the carrier airline of the Netherlands, and the only one still operating under its original name. Its long global reach is leveraged in an email that hints at what is possible.
The subject line, "Win 2 tickets to your favourite destination!" gives the customer an easy reason to open it. This email links to another edition of iFly, KLM's online travel magazine.
It opens at top with a large, diverse lineup of photos from locations around the world. "Places To Go 2017" reads the headline. Below, a graphic of two KLM boarding passes adds "Win 2 Tickets," and points to the call to action button.
The traveller can immediately click there to go to KLM 's website for additional information. But for those who opt to read on, a few sentences below explain more.
"Join us on a spectacular trip of images, video and sound to our 50 must-see destinations," it begins. And after viewing that travelogue, they can choose their top five, then enter the tickets contest.
Even that reveal may not be enough to get the prospect to click through. The next two blocks each include an image from a destination in the top 50 list. For example, this one shows stilt fisherman in Sri Lanka. Each also reminds the reader of the contest and gives them two more opportunities to join in.
The Takeaway
A few colorful, beautiful images have the power to instantly connect with your customers.

Many people believe blockchain is going to solve all of the world's problems including something that has plagued the healthcare industry for decades: interoperability of medical records and data. While blockchain and interoperability of medical records could have a symbiotic relationship, there is nothing inherent in blockchain that addresses the interoperability problem of healthcare data.
In the world of health care, sharing data requires a centralized server or the transmission of bulk data between institutions. According to a study by the Mayo Clinic, centralization may increase security risks while bulk data transmission may force institutions to give up control of their data.
What makes blockchain unique is that it is actually decentralized and utilizes an open ledger of data through an intricate system of blocks. Instead of centralization, trust is distributed to participating parties in the network. In effect, blockchain operates as the "Level 1 and Level 2" of an infrastructure that is efficient, decentralized and secure.
As CEO of a company that directly works with the implementation of a decentralized blockchain application, I have seen this system provide a common supporting technical architecture and infrastructure for sharing health data transactions. But it can do nothing to provide interoperability of medical records where the requirement is to convey clinical intent across institutional boundaries.
On the other hand, the health care industry has begun to coalesce around fast health care interoperability resources (FHIR) as a new standard for exchanging data. Health care standards organization, Health Level Seven International (HL7) is responsible for creating this standardized model of data exchange, which leverages web application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide a standard interface so any authorized application can send and receive data with proper authentication. (Full Disclosure: Our CTO has joined the HL7 FHIR Foundation as a member.)
Analogous to the layers of the open systems interconnection model (OSI Model), FHIR translates system-specific data representation to standard formats in order to improve interoperability of data between different applications and systems including mobile devices. In the context of blockchain, the data itself can be either off-chain or on-chain depending on whether it is a public or private blockchain.
You might have heard terms like LOINC and SNOMED tossed around in the context of health care delivery. These are systematically organized codes, terms and definitions used in clinical documentation and reporting. When delivering care, it is vital that these codes are understood and interpreted in a consistent manner across healthcare settings. The problem is that different electronic health records (EHR) systems have their own implementation of clinical definitions. As a result, the same health information has the potential to be identified by a number of different values and hence subject to misinterpretation.
The good news is that FHIR supports information sharing by a variety of document formats which are validated to ensure they meet current standards. The higher the level of detail in the FHIR profiles for things such as conditions and vital signs, the greater the likelihood that the meaning will be exactly understood between sender and receiver systems.
An alternative approach is to have an external terminology server that represents code systems and vocabularies and works with FHIR as a resource. The terminology server can be referenced for the latest versions of code systems and vocabularies instead of having these reside in FHIR. The external terminology server can be maintained and updated as new versions of standards are finalized.
Regardless of which path the industry takes, it is clear that achieving true semantic interoperability is going to take a lot of work.
Combined with blockchain, FHIR can uphold the security and integrity of health data transactions. Even though they work in very different ways, their potential to disrupt traditional health care is far-reaching and full of promise. However, nirvana lies in true semantic interoperability of clinical information and blockchain is not going to help with that.
