Best practices in designing your new business venture
This week's "Ask the Mompreneur" features an interview with Alex Cowan, serial entrepreneur and author of "Starting a Tech Business." Cowan is the creator of the Venture Design entrepreneurial methodology.
Ask the Mompreneur
Let's say I have a great business idea on the proverbial back of a napkin. How can I get from there to a fully-baked business model?
Alex Cowan
Great question; I think that's what everyone wants to know. Most people spend too much time building things and executing like they've already got a product that will sell. With a new venture you don't have that, so I always start by spending a lot of time talking to and observing the customer in as natural a setting as possible. My goal is to learn about their problems and habits and how they're acting today. I never, ever "sell" at this point because the customer will usually say "yes" to a hypothetical product, even if they don't really mean it.
If I believe I can create something that's "better enough" than what they have today, I think about how I can validate that with a minimum of time and money, because even if I've done a great job getting to know the customer, there's still a lot of risk. If there are 1,000 possible outcomes in the imaginary future where your product exists, only 250 of those scenarios are successful ones. In other words, there's a 75% chance of failure.
It feels better to build the business like you're going to be successful, but the reality is you're much better off placing small bets. Dropbox may be the best story on this. They had a huge engineering task to really build the thing, so they made a fake demo and promoted it to see if anyone in their early market signed up. And only after they did, did they place a big bet on real product development. That was brilliant.
If I decided the bet I wanted to place involved actually building the product, I would create it in the smallest possible chunks using really good descriptions of what we've learned about the customer. No one's allowed to just say "Hey, I built what you said you wanted!" I want everyone clued in about the customer and asking questions. If its software and we're building the front end, I'll do a fake version and put it front of users with a task for them to do and see if they get it. It usually takes at least 2-3 tries to get that right, even if you're working with an experienced team.
Ask the Mompreneur
That sounds like a logical approach, so why doesn't everyone create new businesses that way?
Alex Cowan
I think about that a lot since my work hinges on that question. It's like getting in shape - we all know how we should eat and that we should exercise, but we're not doing it. There are a lot of deep-seated emotional barriers to doing some of these things. It's hard to solicit input from others, and we desperately want to be right. It's hard to really put your idea to test when it's your baby. That's why you need frameworks like design thinking to help discipline yourself and tame your instincts.
Ask the Mompreneur
There's so much advice out there for starting a company, how did you cut through the clutter to your favorite tools?
Alex Cowan
It's really about knowing what tools to use when and for what. For learning about the customer, I like the body of work on design thinking. For placing small bets and iterating to a successful outcome, the Lean Startup stuff is good. The material on agile is good, but some of it is not relevant for a new venture. My material on Venture Design is about making those techniques accessible and making it easy to know where to focus, at what point, and why.
Ask the Mompreneur
And what is "Venture Design," exactly?
Alex Cowan
It's an online curriculum I make available for free. The mission is to bridge the gap between topics like design thinking, Lean Startup, and the traditional curriculum you have around business and design education. What's happening is that in a traditional university program, students are learn frameworks that are pushing 100 years old and basically designed around commodity businesses – like running a factory, for instance.
These same students get out into the real world and find innovation is the name of the game. Many feel a little flat-footed without an engineering or design background. The Venture Design material is about delivering something that's consumable in the scarce amount of time most people have, and that provides an encompassing structure and sequence so that innovators, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs can build a solid foundation to innovate effectively.
Ask the Mompreneur
What is the most dangerous phase for an entrepreneur? How can we avoid the most common pitfalls when it comes to launching a new product or service?
Alex Cowan
The biggest pitfall is at the very beginning when you're psyched about your idea. Think about it as a marathon, or maybe an obstacle course, but definitely not a sprint. You'll probably have to tweak your concept many times and find out you're wrong about things you wanted to be right about. Hold on to that enthusiasm but channel it in a disciplined way.
Ask the Mompreneur
What additional resources do you recommend?
Alex Cowan
For the person who wants to learn some of these techniques in their spare time, I just created a page called "The 20 Minute Innovator." You can sit down and use design thinking to draft a customer or user persona in 20 minutes and practice laying out a set of Lean Startup-style assumptions. You can think of it as a quick workout for your business innovation muscle.

I like this because it can be used to keep not only the teacher organized but the students as well. You can label the container the different subjects in which to turn in your homework, test, or for paper that are to be sent home the next day. And that they are small enough that you can have multiple containers and can stack them on top of each other withour taking up too much room.

Another solution for preventing piles on your teacher desk. ...I'm a piler, even though piles drive me insane!
Love this! I have seen these sayings before, but I really like how simple this one is. Might be better suited to a younger classroom then some of the longer sayings. I also like the design...how cute :)
I would like to frame this and give it to my team members as a back to school gift. :-) Good Idea, Teaching Sisters.
A nice, efficient way to display what's important to your class. If the students are older, the teacher can write one example and the students can write their own "we do..." statement.
Is this too elementary for a high school classroom? of course, the monkey would have to go....but i have a grass skirt around my desk, and i'm thinking this corner tree would be cute...

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Só pelo sobrenome não é possível ter certeza da identidade desses elementos.
No caso dos cripto-judeus, muitos nem sabem das suas origens judaicas e não seguem o judaísmo, mas se revelam pelo modo de agir e traços raciais.
Segundo esta revista judaica, Elis Regina, Glauber Rocha e Alceu Valença são marranos (cripto-judeus):
Os serfaditas professam o judaísmo, ergueram a primeira sinagoga das Américas em Pernambuco e ajudaram na fundação de Nova York (na época, Nova Amsterdam), junto com os holandeses - a Jew York

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Esse artigo é a coisa mais mentirosa, falsa e idiota que eu já lí em toda minha vida.
Partindo do pressuposto que isso fosse verdade, praticamente todo e qualquer ibérico é cristão-novo, já que eles incluiram quase todos os sobrenomes portugueses e espanhóis nesta lista ridícula.
Looking for a fight, não notaste que o "autor" desta pérola pseudo-acadêmica termina seu texto com um discurso politicamente correto anti-branco e anti-católico e, ao se identificar, temos um negro (ele põe sua foto, e ainda se identifica como "judeu messiânico").
Vejam aqui a foto e auto-caracterização deste "autor": http://www.artigonal.com/authors_63422.html
Notem também que ele se refere à teologia como "escatologia", demonstrando um forte sentimento anti-católico, já que a grande maioria das instituições que ministram essa disciplina o fazem do prisma romano.

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
No Brasil pelo que me foi dado a perceber há até mais sefarditas com nomes Judaicos do que em Portugal onde há mais cripto-judeus e é tudo mais secreto.
O autor se auto intitula Judeu messiânico, mas não percebi bem o que ele quis dizer com isso, eu vi que ele é cristão protestante, portanto, deve de ser um lacaio dos judeus que acredita na vinda do Messias e que os Judeus são o povo escolhido.
Ele ao dizer que há 35 milhões de Judeus no Brasil deve de ser a contar com os sefarditas, ashkenazis os cripto-judeus e outros lacaios com mentalidade de escravo, como os cristãos sionistas.

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Voce esta certo. Ja vi chines com o sobrenome Cohen. A maioria dos monstrinhos metade asiaticos/metade "Caucasian" nos EUA, sao judeus. Muitos negros tambem misturados com judeus. Muitos negros com sobrenomes Davis, Cohen, etc. Na Europa e mais dificil de identificar os judeus. Mas pelos "europeus" que eu tenho encontrado, especialmente nos EUA, sao todos judeus, comunistas, homossexuais e drogados. Nunca tive uma experiencia decente com estes "europeus". Sao tudo lixo. Os ingleses judeus sao os piores. Parece que so tem judeu e macom naquele pais. Sao muito liberais.

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Realmente, muitos judeus pegaram sobrenomes arianos para poderem disfarçar melhor sua identidade.
Eu tenho um "nariz" bom pra descobrir se a pessoa é semita ou não, poucas são as chances de erro.
Não gosto muito de citar a Bíblia, mas tem uma frase realmente boa: "Pelo seus frutos os conhecereis."
Depois falam que judeu não é ganâncioso... até o sobrenome "COHEN" soa como "COIN" (moeda em inglês)

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Estou espantado, não imaginava que a ameça judia tinha se propagado em tamanha escala no Brasil, é incrivel como essa gente já está infiltrada em posições estrategicas da sociedade, manipulando distorcendo as coisas para tentar nos dominar... Cada vez tenho mais confiança no que diz os protocolos dos sábios de sião, realmente deve se ter muito cuidado com os judeus.
Que asco!

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Although they make up a tiny fraction of Brazil's population, Jews continue to be active in several aspects of Brazilian society.
According Professor Anita Novinsky, a specialist on the Jews at the University of Sao Paulo, "Brazil was made by the Jews." Their rich culture continues today.
Jewish history in Brazil dates back to the time of the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Gaspar da Gama, a Jew by birth, but later kidnaped and forcibly baptized, accompanied Portuguese admiral Pedro Alvares Cabral when he landed in what is now Brazil in 1500, beginning a more than 500-year presence in the New World.
When the Inquisition in Portugal took hold in 1497, Jews fled to places throughout the world, including Brazil. They arrived in Brazil primarily as New Christians or Conversos (Jews converted to Christianity), but many secretly practiced Judaism and began a colonization drive to settle on the land. Despite continued persecution by the Brazilian Inquisition, the New Christians successfully established sugar plantations and mills. By 1624, approximately 50,000 Europeans lived in Brazil, with New Christians making up a significant percentage.
They were businessmen, importers, exporters, teachers, writers poets, even priests. In that same year, Dutch forces arrived in Brazil, taking over portions of northeast Brazil. Dutch tolerance allowed for Jewish migration and the open practice of religion. In 1636, Jews built the Kahal Zur synagogue in the Dutch capital of Recife.
In Dutch Brazil, Jews flourished in the sugar industry, tax farming and slave trade. Jews often purchased slaves and resold them at great profit. Those they kept often preferred to work for Jews because both Shabbat and Sunday were rest days, whereas the Portugese only gave them Sunday off, and the Dutch worked their slaves seven days a week.
In 1642, Rabbi Isaac Aboab da Fonseca, a well-known Amsterdam rabbi and scholar Moses Raphael d'Aguilar came to Brazil as spiritual leaders to assist the congregations of Kahal Zur in Recife and Magen Abraham in Mauricia. By 1645, the Dutch Jewish population peaked at 1,500, approximately half of the European population there. Synagogue records show a well-organized Jewish community with high participation, including a Talmud Torah (school), a Tzedakah fund and an overseeing executive committee.
Other Inquisition-fleeing Jews headed south to Sao Paulo. Little is known what happened to them, some scholars suggest they assimilated quickly, however, recent evidence has revealed Brazilian jungle tribes who light candles on Friday night and refrain from eating pork.
In 1647, the Portuguese authorities arrested Isaac de Castro for teaching Jewish rites and customs in Portuguese controlled Brazil and sent him back to Portugal where the Inquisition sentenced him to death and burned him at the stake. The Portuguese also started a nine-year war that successfully drove the Dutch out of Brazil in 1654.
Portuguese anti-Jewish persecution led to a mass immigration to places like Curacao and New York, where they laid foundations for new Jewish communities, others returned to Europe. Most who could not escape were killed, but some became Crypto Jews, practicing Judaism in secret. They lived away from the authorities, in the interior of Brazil, many becoming ranch hands or cowboys.
The persecutions, arrests, confiscation of property and emigration of the Jews greatly damaged the Brazilian economy by bringing the manufacture and export of sugar to a near standstill and seriously disrupting trade between Portugal and Brazil. In 1655, the Portuguese closed a major symbol of Brazilian Jewry, the Kahal Zur synagogue. However, thanks to the Safra banking family, the synagogue re-opened in 2002 and now stands as the oldest existing synagogue in the Americas, housing a Jewish cultural center and hosting some religious ceremonies.
In 1773, a Portuguese royal decree finally abolished discrimination against Jews. They slowly filtered back into Brazil. Almost 50 years later, in 1822, Brazil gained independence from Portugal, and a stream of Moroccan Jews began arriving, and set up a synagogue in Belem (northern Brazil) called Porta do Ceu (Gate of Heaven) in 1824 and later one in Manaus (on the Amazon river). By World War I, Belem's Sephardi community of 800 people had its own charitable organizations and a social club.
In the last decade of the 19th century, European Jews began discussing the idea of establishing agricultural settlements in Brazil as an alternative to the unfavorable conditions in Europe. After the 1891 expulsion of the Jews from Moscow, a close associate of Theodor Herzl, Oswald Boxer went to Brazil and returned with a positive report, but plans were abandoned because of Brazilian political strife. The first agricultural settlement was finally established in 1902 by the Jewish Colonization Association (JCA) in the Santa Maria area (southern Brazil). Despite a 1903 pogrom in Bessarabia, only 37 Bessarabian families were willing to settle in the experimental colony, which covered 13,388 acres.
The 1904 farming season failed because of inexperience, insufficient funds and poor planning. Although a cooperative headed by an experienced teacher formed in 1907, the settlement continued to produce a fraction of its capability. In 1926, the JCA reported that of the 122 families that settled in the first colony, 17 remained, cultivating corn and beans on only 326 acres. The unused land was then sold.
In 1909, the JCA bought another track of land covering almost 94,000 acres in the Quatro Irmaos area, north of Santa Maria and near a large-scale government development. Despite a more rigorous selection process, the settlers once again failed. Administrative problems, lack of agricultural facilities and the lure of city jobs doomed the settlement. By November 1915, only 72 of the original 232 families remained in the colony. World War I and a civil war, which was partially fought on the colony's land drove out more settlers and by 1926, only 40 people remained. In 1920, the JCA began selling some of the land to non-Jewish settlers.
In 1935, after a renewed settlement effort, 104 Jewish families lived in Quaro Irmaos, only to be outnumbered five to one by non-Jewish settlers.
The JCA led a third attempt at agricultural settlement in 1935 because of deteriorating conditions in Germany. However, as part of a strict immigration policy against Jews, the Brazilian government refused to issue the settlers entry visas. The land was later sold.
The settlers who abandoned the colonies set up rich cultural communities in Brazilian cities. By World War I, approximately 7,000 Jews lived in Brazil. In Porto Alegre, capital of the southern state of Rio Grande do Sol, the community opened a Jewish school in 1910 and established a Yiddish newspaper, Di Menshhayt ("Humanity") in 1915. Sao Paolo was home to several philanthropic and cultural associations. In 1916, the Jewish community of Rio de Janeiro formed an aid committee for World War I victims.
Almost 30,000 Western European Jews came to Brazil in the 1920s and, by 1929, there were 27 Jewish schools. Despite a strict immigration policy in the 1930s, more than 17,500 Jews entered Brazil. While immigration enriched Brazilian Jewish culture, the wide array of Jewish customs and beliefs, made it nearly impossible to unify them, despite attempts by Rabbi Isaiah Raffalovitch of JCA.
Brazil began an assimilation effort in 1938 and closed the Yiddish newspapers and the Jewish organizations, both secular and religious. A wave of anti-Semitism followed, including several editions of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Only after Brazil adopted a new, more democratic constitution in 1945, did organized Jewish activities resume.
In 1947, Brazil voted for the partition of Palestine and for the creation of a Jewish state at the United Nations General Assembly. A Brazilian statesman, Oswaldo Aranha, played a vital role in the adoption of the resolution. Brazil recognized Israel in February 1949 and opened an embassy there three years later. In 1959, Brazil and Israel signed the first of several agreements to cooperate in a variety of areas, including culture, commerce, agriculture, science and industry.
In the late 1950s, another wave of Jewish immigration brought more than 3,500 North African Jews to Brazil. By the 1960s, Brazilian Jewry was thriving. In the 1966 parliamentary elections six Jews, representing various parties, were elected to the federal legislature. In addition, Jews served in state legislatures and municipal councils. In 1967, 33 Jewish schools were attended by more than 10,000 students. By 1969, approximately 140,000 Jews lived in Brazil, mostly in the large cities: Rio de Janeiro (50,000), Sao Paulo (55,000), Porto Alegre (12,000), Belo Horizonte (3,000), Recife (1,600) and Belem (1,200).
Jewish communal life was uneventful throughout the 1970s, save some minor anti-Semitic activity by the right-wing Catholic organization Tradicao, Familia e Propriedade (Tradition, Family and Property).
Contemporary Brazil
Today, Brazil's rich cultural life includes several Jewish publications as well as a weekly Jewish television program, Mosaico. Author Moacyr Scliar has been published worldwide. Museums exhibit Jewish history and art and efforts to preserve Brazil's Jewish history are underway.
The Center for Jewish Studies of the University of Sao Paulo, the Federal and State Universities in Rio de Janeiro and the Marc Chagall Institute in Porto Alegre sponsor lectures, conferences and academic courses of Jewish interest. Jewish and Israeli film festivals are common in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Special commemorative and cultural events are held in conjunction with Yom Hashoah and Yom Hatzmaut.
Within Brazil's Jewish community are several Zionist organizations, youth groups, adult groups, and social clubs, including B'nai Brith, Hadassah International, Pioneer Women, the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Like many other countries, Brazil's religious observance encompass a wide spectrum, from liberal to orthodox with both strong Sephardi and Ashkenazi influences. Chabad-Lubavich has grown considerably in recent years with schools and synagogues in several major cities.
Politically, Jews have continued to play an important role. In 1994, Jaime Lerner was elected head of Parana, a major industrial state, becoming Brazil's first Jewish governor. In 1998, Dr. Eva Alterman Bay, a distinguished professor, became the first Jewish woman to serve in Brazil's Senate. Jews have also served in the Cabinet.
Professionally, Jews have made a tremendous impact on the Brazilian economy. Jewish families own Brazil's two largest publishing and jewelry companies, the sixth largest bank and are among the executives of several other large corporations.
While Brazil's total population exceeds 160 million people, the Jewish population has stabilized at approximately 150,000. More than 8,000 Brazilian Jews have moved to Israel since 1948. There are more than 40 active synagogues, several kosher supermarkets and a number of kosher restaurants. The Confederacao Israelita do Brasil (CONIB), founded in 1951, is the central body representing the 12 federations (states) of Brazil, and serves as an umbrella organization for more than 200 associations involved in Zionist activity, Jewish education, culture and charity.
Brazil's Jewish community has been on high alert since the 1994 bombing of the Jewish community headquarters in nearby Buenos Aires, Argentina, but has suffered only isolated anti-Semitic attacks such as harassment, threats and vandalism. Intermarriage is actually the greatest threat to Brazilian Jewry. Experts say the rate is even higher than in the United States. Brazil's slumping economy poses another challenge for the Jewish community.
Sao Paulo is home to 75,000 Jews, approximately half of Brazil's Jewish population. Located on Rua Antonio Carlos 653 is the Congragacio Israelita Paulista. This Ashkenazi synagogue is the largest on the continent with 2,000 family members (600-700 regularly attend Friday night services). The primary Sephardic synagogues are Ohel Yaakov and Beit Yaakov. At Rua Hungria 1000 is the 28,000-member Jewish club called A Hebracia. It resembles a self-contained city, complete with swimming pools, movie theaters, ballroom, synagogue, bank, restaurants, art gallery, library and more.
A tiny hasidic synagogue still functions in the old Jewish neighborhood called Bom Retiro ("Good Retreat") is in northern Sao Paulo, but most of the Jews have moved to other parts of the city. There are four orthodox schools and four secular Jewish schools. Approximately 3,000 students attend the Educacio Hebraico Brasileiro Renscenca at Rua Prates 790. Sao Paulo Jews are especially proud of their support of the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, one of the best in all South America. The Casa da Cultura Judaica, the Jewish cultural house is another popular place that organizes debates, folk dancing and other activities.
In 2001, the synagogue in Recife, the first shul ever built in the Americas, was reopened, 347 years after it was closed by Portuguese colonial rule. After two years of excavation and restoration, the synagogue will house a Jewish cultural center and host a few religious ceremonies. The synagogue had not been used since the mid-17th century when the Portuguese defeated the Dutch at Recife and expelled the estimated 1,200 Jews and banned Judaism.
The Jewish musuem in Rio de Janiero documents the history of Jews in Brazil and gives insight into the culture of the city's Jewish community. The area around Rua Alfandega is the center of Rio's old Jewish neighborhood. The Congregation of Grande Templo Israelita is located at Rue Tenente Possolo 8.
In August 2004, the mayor of Sao Paulo declared her city a sister city with Tel Aviv. Mayor Marta Suplicy said the new status would strengthen ties between both Brazilians and Israelis. Suplicy, who recently married a Jew, added that the new status would be a kickoff for urban, cultural, scientific, tourist and economic programs.

Re: Lista de Judeus de destaque no Brasil
Gaspar da Gama - um judeu no Descobrimento do Brasil (1444-1510?)
Cristãos Novos no Brasil
Pesquisas demonstram que é incontestável a presença de muitos cristãos novos no Brasil já no início da colonização. Para compreendermos tal fato, devemos nos reportar para a Europa do séc. XVI de XVII.
Devido a Reforma Protestante houve um arrefecimento da Inquisição, a perseguição aos considerados hereges se estendeu aos judeus que, para escapar das fogueiras se converteram ao cristianismo, mas, na realidade, mantinham as práticas judaizantes em suas casas.
A perseguição a este grupo tornou-se bastante feroz na Espanha, durante o reinado de Isabel e Fernando, os reis católicos.
Tal situação levou os judeus sefarditas que ali haviam se instalado a transferirem-se para Portugal onde o processo inquisitório parecia, pelo menos por algum tempo, mais abrandado.
Porém os judeus sefarditas foram obrigados a se converter para não acabarem na fogueira.
Muitos, com o intuito de escapar, foram para os Países Baixos transferindo para lá grande parte do capital português, já que as casas bancárias eram por eles controladas; outros, com o mesmo objetivo, vieram para o Brasil acreditando que tão longe a Inquisição não os iria encontrar, fato que não ocorreu.
Acredita-se que no início do processo colonizador três quartos da população branca era composta por cristãos novos.
SILVA, Lina Gorenstein Ferreira da Heréticos e Impuros - a Inquisição e os cristãos-novos no Rio de Janeiro, século XVIII. Rio de Janeiro, Secretaria Municipal de Cultura, Depto Geral de Documentação e Informação Cultural, Divisão de editoração, 1995. Coleção Biblioteca Carioca, vol.39
Cap.II - A vida urbana, as profissões, o cotidiano (p.41-58)
Encontramos cristãos-novos no Rio de Janeiro desde o final do século XVI; naquela escassa população branca mencionada por Anchieta (1), de cerca de 700 portugueses, os Lucena, os Cardoso e os Barros tinham seu lugar como proprietários de terras (2); em meados do século XVII, cristãos-novos oriundos do Rio de Janeiro foram estudar em Coimbra, voltando advogados e médicos; apesar da legislação restritiva, durante o século XVII vários desses cristãos-novos fizeram parte do grupo dos "homens bons" e participaram da burocracia colonial, das atividades da Câmara Municipal do Rio de Janeiro; adquiriram e negociaram propriedades e escravos, estabeleceram-se na cidade como médicos, advogados, homens de negócios, e no campo, como senhores de engenho, donos de partido e lavradores de cana e mandioca.
Da população estimada para a cidade e seu recôncavo, de cerca de 20.000 (vinte mil) habitantes na primeira década do século XVIII (3), cerca de 392 (trezentos e noventa e duas) pessoas ficaram registradas como cristãs-novas pelo Tribunal do Santo Ofício da Inquisição, representando por volta de 2% da população da província; esta cifra, porém, mostra 2% da população cristã-nova conhecida, presa ou denunciada, não significando o total da comunidade cristã-nova da região e desse período; vale lembrar que nesses 20.000 habitantes incluíam-se os nativos e os escravos negros, que desde o início da ocupação da província eram em maior número que os brancos (23% de brancos no início do século); se mantivermos a mesma proporção, isto é, cerca de 23% no início do século XVIII, teremos cerca de 4000 brancos.
Assim, os cristãos-novos denunciados ou presos pelo Tribunal representariam no mínimo 10% da população branca do Rio de Janeiro no período.
A importância dos cristãos-novos era tão marcante na cidade que um viajante francês, François Froger, que esteve na cidade em 1695, ao referir-se ao fato de ter sido obrigado a negociar com o governador e a conceder preços melhores, escreveu :"...ce qui fait voir la mauvaise foy de cette Nation, dont plus des trois quarts sont originairemente Juifs..." (4): ou seja, considerou que três quartos da população branca da cidade era de origem judaica.

70 Double Blown GTO
My 1970 GTO with two blowers. It's 474ci Pontiac engine with a 8-71 blower
on top of a 6-71 blower. This is from the last day of being double blown.
I'm going to one single 8-71 blower and going racing. The front clip was
removed to make it easier to work on. The reason for the double blowers was
not as a power enhancement like many ASSume. I stacked the blowers to have
a car that stood out in the crowd. Most Pro Street cars were starting to
blend together. If you seen one, you had seen them all. That wasn't the
case with this GTO. Al someone had to say was "The double blower GTO" and
people knew which car. I was told it couldn't be done, so I attempted it
and it worked. It stayed that way for almost 2 years. I knew a twin turbo setup would make more HP. I knew I could
have run a 14-71 blower and made more power. That wasn't the point. I
wanted to be different than the other cars in the parking lot, I did that
now it's time to ove on. For all those people who don't understand why,
I'm not going to try and explain it to you anymore. Get over it. I didn't
expect EVERYONE to love it. But you won't forget it.

Review: Fringe - What Lies Below
by Jane Boursaw, posted Jan 22nd 2010 4:00AM
(S02E13) "Quickly, get your pajamas off and let's go!" - Walter to hazmat guy escorting him back to the lab
Ok, I know Walter Bishop is brilliant, but coming up with a cure for a 75,000-year-old virus? A little far-fetched, but hey, we'll go with it. Geez, put Walter on the cure for the common cold or cancer. Just put him in a room with Astrid and a refrigerator, and who knows what awesome scientific wonders he might come up with. He's the new MacGyver.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Feds reject MTS sale of Allstream, citing national security concerns
The sale of MTS's Allstream national business telecommunications division to Egyptian-based Accelero Capital Holdings has been rejected by Industry Canada citing unspecified national security concerns.
The sale announced in May had valued the Allstream division at $520 million.
MTS CEO Pierre Blouin said the news late Monday afternoon came as a complete surprise to the company.
Blouin said, "We have been collaborating with the government for 136 days. I am sure the review is not about MTS and Allstream and more about Accelero. We have been very open with the government."
Accelero's principal Naguib Sawiris has already been active in Canada, investing about $1 billion in his financial backing of Wind Mobile Canada.
The original deal with Accelero was only made possible after Industry Canada loosened its foreign investment criteria for certain smaller Canadian telecommunications companies.
Blouin said it was in light of those changes that MTS launched a strategic review to see if it could find a buyer for Allstream.
Although this was the first such review the government undertook with the new regulations, Blouin said it seemed to be right in line with the new government policy.
"We pursued the review in a very collaborative way and to come at the end today and be basically informed that the government was rejecting the transaction based on national security concerns without outlining what are those concerns or giving us an opportunity to correct them is quite a surprise," Blouin said.
The transaction did not impact MTS's Manitoba operations and the rejection of the sale will also not impact the company's operations here.

Is Dead Space 3 Lying To You?
Cyril Lachel
| Posted on
February 11, 2013
| Episode 45 (
Show Archive
There's nothing unusual about a video game company boasting about good reviews; we see that every day. But sometimes they can take it too far. That is the case with this bizarre new Dead Space 3 advertisement from Electronic Arts. Join us as we fact check this questionable claim from the publishing powerhouse.
"Get the Game That's Best of 2013 on 30 Lists" -Electronic Arts
That's the email I received at 4:31 pm on February 8, 2013. It's the kind of junk mail I get from time to time, perhaps because I registered one of Electronic Arts' products or just looked at them funny. I should probably go through the hassle of unsubscribing, but I usually just push delete and vow to resolve the problem another time. That's exactly what I was going to do with this Dead Space 3 promotion, but then I took a second look.
And there it was, right in front of my face: "Get the Game That's Best of 2013 on 30 Lists." Best of 2013 ... already? We're only seven weeks into this year, how is it possible that 30 different critics have named Dead Space 3 the "best" of 2013?
As you might have guessed, the statement isn't backed up by any facts. The advertisement lists a bunch of positive reviews, but there's no mention of even one "Best of 2013" list. And for good reason, because that's the last thing on the minds of game critics. With Grand Theft Auto V,
BioShock Infinite, The Last of Us and a whole slew of unannounced games (and systems), it would be ridiculous to name Dead Space 3 the best of 2013.
But wait, I have more bad news for Electronic Arts. Averaging 78% on MetaCritic, Dead Space 3 isn't even the best reviewed game of the first seven weeks. Currently, both Devil May Cry (86%) and Fire Emblem: Awakening (91%) are scoring higher than the action-oriented third chapter in the Dead Space trilogy. And let's not forget that most games released in January and February are forgotten come awards season.
It's possible that EA meant that Dead Space 3 is listed on 30 different "Most Anticipated Games of 2013" lists. That's a much more plausible scenario. But even if that's the case, I'm here to say that "Most Anticipated" is not synonymous with "Best Of." Don't let EA's marketing department trick you into thinking that 2014 is just around the corner; we still have a lot of games to play.

Joint Philippines-China exploration proposed to settle Spratly dispute
Publication Date : 18-04-2012
A joint gas and natural resources exploration with China of the whole Spratly Islands is the "only practical solution" left for the Philippines to settle the dispute, a senator allied with the present administration said today.
Instead of filing diplomatic protests against China, Philippine Senator Ralph Recto said the country should engage a possible joint exploration agreement in the disputed islands.
"Every stand-off, the territorial tension only escalates and we're not gaining anything – zero. We could pursue a different tact by working out a possible joint exploration without impinging on our sovereignty," Recto said in a statement.
The senator, a senior member of the Senate national defence and security and of foreign relations committees, said the Philippines should no longer wait for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to side with Manila since its members are also trading with China.
The only practical solution left for the country, Recto said, is to pursue a possible joint exploration deal of the whole of Spratlys for gas and other natural resources.
"I'm not saying that we back track from our claim. In fact, we should do it relentlessly. But while the natural finds of Spratlys lay underneath, idle and untapped, a joint exploration appears to be the more logical engagement with China," he said.
"The engagement policy should be pegged on how both countries could benefit from the subterranean wealth of Spratlys — not on how fast each country could annihilate each other in case mad men from both sides take over," he added.
Recto said the country could put on the table its proximity to the Spratlys for the build-up of infrastructures and other logistics needed for the joint exploration.
As an emerging power, China would naturally gravitate toward the country that is nearest to the disputed islands in case it would want to conduct exploration projects unmolested, said the senator.
"We must tone down the rhetoric's but we must have well-toned diplomatic and trade muscles to convince China to a joint economic exploration," Recto said.
"Although far-fetched but only to stress my point, we should not wait for China to forge a joint deal with Vietnam and put up a united socialist claim over Spratlys," he said.
Recto said the Philippines would not lose its sovereignty even if it engages in a joint exploration agreement with China, citing a similar case when the country tapped foreign oil companies to jointly explore the Malampaya natural gas deposits off Palawan.

TV Review: Michael Bracewell's profile of Oscar Wilde
Thomas Sutcliffe
Monday 13 October 1997
Like most of Wilde's aphorisms the remark is nowhere near as simple as it appears - he doesn't mean that art is pointless, naturally, although the phrase is carefully constructed to trap those who, along with most of Wilde's Victorian contemporaries, make the mistake of confusing utility with worth. And given the studious elusiveness of many of Wilde's positions you might equally have heard him say, on a different occasion, that everything but art was useless.
Bracewell saw in such flamboyant provocations the origins of much later posers - by this account Wilde was the first prince of glam-rock, a thesis pressed home with quite a few David Bowie tracks (quite effective in their louche affectation) as well as a number of explicit comparisons, some considerably more strained than others. It's true that when you are shown Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull camping it up as Wilde and Bosie, complete with the trademark green carnations, you can see that he stands as a role model for subsequent outsiders (in whose number Bracewell quite explicitly counted himself).
But the problem with it as the armature for an appraisal is that it tends to congratulate Wilde for being us before we got round to it - rather than alerting us to how belated most of our novelties are (not to mention the self-congratulation of equating a minor drug bust with Wilde's calvary).
What's more Bracewell's loyalty to the idea occasionally pulled him into trouble - as when an attempt to link The Portrait of Dorian Gray to the extended adolescence of rock stars began with the image of Cliff Richard and went on to Elvis Presley. This didn't make the sense Bracewell wanted it too - Cliff Richard looks like that precisely because he doesn't dine with panthers and Elvis scarcely concealed the image of his degradation - he put it on stage in Vegas (Wilde, incidentally, hid his own revealing portrait behind his hand - his teeth were blackened by mercury treatment for syphilis, so that the mouth which made his reputation also advertised its darker side).
Similarly the presentation of Wilde's first trip to the States as a Victorian equivalent of a pop group's attempt to break the American market simply wouldn't wash - as Stephen Fry almost instantly pointed out (the programme could have done with rather more of him and of Tom Stoppard too. They were the only contributors to appear in book-lined rooms - the traditional backdrop for a literary documentary - and they brought to their remarks the reassuringly old-fashioned virtue of thoughtful erudition).
This film would have been a little disappointing on paper - in particular the slightly underpowered nature of Bracewell's own conclusions ("In short", he summed up at one point, "Oscar was an aesthete with attitude". He could hardly have been one without it.) But on screen it was often effective - nicely opportunistic in the way it represented our own continuities with Wilde's preoccupations. Bracewell walked through the preposterously minimal lobby of an Anouska Hempel hotel while he talked of Wilde's revolutionary orientalism and down an infernal spiral staircase as he sketched in the underbelly of his social comedy. Most affecting of all was his visit to a cell in Reading Gaol - a gleaming white side-chapel to the St Sebastian of self-expression, lit by a single barred window.
Viewers whose appetites have been whetted but not sated by this film should turn to Richard Ellman's wonderful biography - a true banquet for Wilde disciples.
I wish I knew what Oscar might have made of Bright Hair, a two-part thriller postponed by the mood of terrified tastefulness that followed Princess Diana's death (and what would he have made of that paroxysm of sensibility?). He would surely have been impressed by Emilia Fox's eyes, though - far and away the spookiest element in this implausible tale of amnesiac schoolgirls and malign teachers. Not really worth seeing for her gaze alone, but very close.
