Twitter allows me to cover more--and breaking news--to help you do better!
Shareholders In US Companies Have Lodged 360 Resolutions. - [COMMENTARY] "... the As You Sow foundation [reports] nearly 290 proposals are still pending meaning that they will usually go to an AGM vote. Of the total filed resolutions, 131 are either on environmental issues or requests for sustainability reports. A further 84 cover political contributions. Two other major issues —each with about 45 resolutions—are calls for workplace and corporate board diversity reforms and labour and human rights actions."
activism is growing and companies have to be more responsive to their
Bloomberg Announces Its Islamic Finance Platform (ISLM) & Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) Sukuk (Bond) Index. - [COMMENTARY] "Today, Bloomberg's Professional division announced the launch of a Bloomberg Islamic Finance Platform (ISLM), which will provide tools and services for investors who want to be compliant with Shariah law. It also announced the launch of a Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) sukuk index to provide a benchmark for MYR sovereign sukuk investments, in conjunction with the Association of Islamic Banking Institutions Malaysia (AIBIM)."
I have written in
The Rise of Islamic Finance about how Bloomberg has aimed to be no.
1 in Islamic finance reporting. Well, this proves it!
Resource Companies Concerned About New US SEC
Anti-Corruption Rules. - [COMMENTARY]
"Western energy and mining companies are under increasing pressure to
ensure their projects in developing countries do not become cesspools of
corruption and bribery – the so-called resource curse. But those
companies are also facing new competition from aggressive state-owned
corporations, many of which do not have the same pressure for reporting
overseas activity." Perhaps SRI-ethical rating organizations and
ethical investors will favour those resource companies that do stop
paying bribes. Thus, their stock prices might benefit!
LOHAS (Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability) Spending In Asia Tops $300 Billion. - [COMMENTARY] "In January 2010 LOHAS Asia partnered with The Natural Marketing Institute in pioneering LOHAS Consumer Research in Asia-Pacific, conducting an online survey across 10 countries. More than 18,000 consumers were surveyed, to provide in-depth research on the LOHAS consumer and marketplace across the following countries: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. Some of the highlights show very real desire for sustainably-made products in Asia, with Indonesia, China and India leading the way."
It seems that developing countries are very keen to have
healthy and sustainable lifestyles which translate into extraordinary
marketing opportunities for green companies there. Perhaps ethical
investors might want to see if their favourite green companies are also
adequately tapping Asian markets?
New Report Shows Private Investments In Green Sectors
Top $2 Trillion. - [COMMENTARY]
"Ethical Markets Media (USA and Brazil) released their February 2011
GREEN TRANSITION SCOREBOARD® tracking private investments since 2007 in
green companies and technologies globally, now totaling more than $2
trillion... Hazel Henderson, D.Sc.Hon., FRSA, former US government
technology advisor and president of Ethical Markets Media said, 'this
new total is remarkable in spite of economic uncertainty. It indicates
that the global transition away from the 300-year fossil-fueled
Industrial Era is accelerating toward the cleaner, greener,
information-rich economies
Hazel Henderson, a real pioneer in alternative energy and
ethical investing, deserves great commendation in her efforts to help
move us into a sustainable future.
Mercer Provides Climate Change Report & Proposes New
Asset Allocation Model. - [COMMENTARY]
"On 15 February 2011 Mercer's Responsible Investment (RI) team
launched Climate Change Scenarios - Implications for Strategic Asset
Allocation, a free public report. Mercer, together with 14 leading
institutional investors and industry thought leaders around the world,
has been working for over a year on this market-leading research into
the implications of climate change for markets and investors." This
is a fascinating report. Useful reading for ethical investors.
Fortune 1000 CEOs Say Sustainability Is A Moral
Imperative. - [COMMENTARY] "... in a
recent survey of senior leadership at Fortune 1000 firms commissioned by
Schneider Electric, almost 90 percent admit to feeling a 'moral
responsibility' to addressing sustainability at their companies... 61
percent of those executives said that the single biggest driver for
energy efficiency and other sustainability projects is the potential
cost savings from increased efficiency." What a turnaround this is
from say ten, or even five years ago!
More Than 45 US Companies To Face Proxy Initiatives On
Disclosure & Accounting For Political Donations. -
[COMMENTARY] "Since such resolutions were first filed
in 2004, shareholders are increasingly inclined to support them. Last
year saw an average 30 percent vote in favor of 28 resolutions on
contribution disclosure resolutions; votes above 40 percent were reached
at Coventry Health Care, CVS Caremark and Sprint Nextel. Proxy advisers,
public pension funds and mainstream mutual funds are getting on the
bandwagon. Even business leaders oppose secretive political spending,
No companies should be able to make political donations
unless approved by stockholders. And whatever donations they make--and
the reasons for them--should be available for full public scrutiny.
Norway, New Zealand & Sweden, Most 'Shariah-Compliant' Nations! - [COMMENTARY] "Think of two of the most common problems highlighted in today's news: the state of the global economy and violence at the hands of Islamists. Here's a possible remedy to both: a sovereign sukuk [Islamic bond] rating system."
This is not a news item, but it provides an insight into,
and understanding of, Islamic finance principles and how they could be
applied to rating sovereign debt. This is a useful piece for all ethical
investors as shariah-compliant investing becomes more common.
Eurosif Says EU Close To Making CSR Reporting Mandatory. - [COMMENTARY] "The European Commission (EC), the executive arm of the European Union (EU), is edging closer to making environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures mandatory for companies, according to the head of the European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif), the SRI lobby group."
Mandatory CSR reporting is something I have long
advocated. It is all about transparency and honesty in reporting what is
really happening in companies. See my posts:
We Need Mandatory Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reporting,
A Call for Mandatory Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting.
Powerful Japanese Union Federation Issues Formal ESG Guidance To Money Managers. - [COMMENTARY] "RENGO, the powerful Japanese trades union confederation whose members influence a significant part of the country′s institutional retirement savings, has issued one of the most far-reaching 'guidelines′ by any union in the world outlining how domestic pension plans should incorporate ESG factors into their investment decisions. RENGO-linked pension plans account for almost half of the schemes in Japan′s corporate pensions sector, which as a whole manages more than JPY50 trillion (€450bn). The influence of RENGO in Japanese pensions could make the new guidelines a game-changer in the take up of ESG by retirement funds in the country."
This is big news for ESG in Asia, and correspondingly,
Asian interest in ethical investing.

Army veteran finds paint-by-number help and hope - April 7, 2016
Courtesy of The Post-Tribune • April 7, 2016
By Jerry Davich • Contact Reporter
Frederick Owens described himself as homeless, jobless and on the brink of hopelessness before relocating to this area.
Last summer, the 55-year-old U.S. Army veteran was living out of his 2000 Nissan Altima in Kansas City, Mo. He was driven to desperation, he said.
"I won't lie. I was beat up and beat down," he told me, shaking his head.
Without realizing it, he became the stereotype we typically hear about too many military vets in our country. Owens never figured he would find a permanent home, a secure job and newfound hope in Northwest Indiana.
"And in Gary, Indiana, at that," he said, shaking his head again. "If you told me this fact less than a year ago, I wouldn't believe it. Heck, I just came up to this area for a visit. Look at me now."
Owens served from 1979 to 1982. That service to Uncle Sam allowed him to be one of the fortunate veterans accepted at the Northwest Indiana Veterans Village in downtown Gary.
The impressive 44-unit, three-level residential facility was unveiled last month with special guests, guided tours and rousing speeches from officials.
I waited for the hyperbole to settle before paying a visit to Owens, who met me in the lobby sporting a crisp suit and proud smile. His artwork adorns the lobby walls. Each piece is a sort of paint-by-number creation, but Owens takes pride that he uses vibrant colors.
"It's like an elaborate coloring book, but it's like therapy for me," he said while giving me a tour of the 67,000-square-foot center.
Like Owens, I won't lie, I didn't expect it to be so impressive. Located a block off Broadway, it stands out like a new lighthouse in a sea of neglect. It houses a rooftop garden, a workout room, a cafeteria, computer room and picnic area.
"And look at this," Owens said excitedly, opening the door to his one-bedroom unit.
His room is spacious, completely furnished and filled with more of his artwork. He pays $580 a month, utilities included. It's a steal for the place, with the government subsidized rent based on 30 percent of each veteran's income, if they have an income.
"Frederick is extremely happy," said Vernita Leslie, executive director of the Broadway Area Community Development Corp., housed inside the facility. "He is sober, working, living in a safe, affordable and clean living environment now conducive to encouraging stability."
Stability was elusive for Owens before moving here. So was sobriety. He's a recovering alcoholic who hopes he left his drinking days in Missouri.
While living with his stepfather in Schererville, he was referred to WorkOne, which helped him land a job at Methodist Hospitals' Southlake campus in Merrillville. He started in October, working midnights as a custodian.
"I walk about 10 miles each night throughout that hospital," he said, pulling out his smart phone to show an app that keeps track of his steps. "It's a good, solid job with benefits."
"Fred completes his work proudly and always checks with his supervisor to see what else needs to be done," said Genora Newman-Chapman, the hospital's manager of environmental services. "He's a hard worker and always has a good attitude."
Last year, Methodist Hospitals joined the Veterans Choice Program, enabling veterans to receive healthcare services when the nearest VA medical center has a lack of available specialists, a long waiting period, or a long distance away.
"We also take every opportunity to hire veterans," said Ray Grady, president and CEO of Methodist Hospitals.
Owens also was referred to this area's Veterans Administration services, which registered him at the Adam Benjamin Jr. VA outpatient clinic. He's now receiving health care that also eluded him for many years.
Through the VA and other social services, he found Veterans Life Changing Services, where he lived for a few weeks. And he received mental health treatment for his alcoholism.
"I've been helped by so many people who were once strangers to me," he said.
At Veterans Village, all vets are thoroughly vetted before being allowed residency and support services, such as the culinary classes Owens will be taking later this month.
"Our VA case managers and property manager worked with several transitional housing facilities, like Safe Haven, Veterans Life Changing Services and Brother Keepers, to name a few," Leslie said. "The VA outreach team followed up on leads for those we found sleeping in tents and in their cars."
Each veteran was screened and given assistance to secure the necessary documentation needed to prove they were disabled and homeless, she said.
Owens said, "I was a broken unit, but I keep marchin'."
The facility's "Housing First" philosophy is based on a national model to curb homelessness for struggling veterans.
"Many lives are changed when placed in a safe environment that includes wraparound programs and on-site case management services," Leslie said.
The program is supported by CSH, a New York City-based organization with expertise in supportive housing, including residences prioritized for veterans, such as Veterans Village.
Thanks to federal, state and local efforts to end homelessness among veterans, there are more than 200 similar facilities across the country, according to CSH spokesman Robert W. Friant.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), along with Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, supports these facilities through a voucher program.
"Since 2008, a total of 79,000 vouchers have been awarded across the country," Friant said.
Owens has been the appreciative recipient of this multi-agency program, as well as from the kindness of people he just met a few months ago.
"My life completely turned around since moving here," he said, walking me toward the exit on Massachusetts Street.
"He's a proud man," Leslie noted.
Owens said with a firm handshake, "I honestly don't know where I'd be. By the grace of God, it's been a miracle."

Call For Papers
The Future of Food Law & Policy in Canada
Thu 3 Nov and Fri 4 Nov 2016, Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia
What is the changing role of law and legal practice in shaping sustainable, productive, resilient, innovative and just food systems? Over the past decade, a new constellation of principles, practices, ideas and institutions has begun to define the domain of "food law and policy", challenging legal actors to understand and critically reimagine their place in realizing food system objectives from producers, to processing, transport and sale, to the dinner plate. On November 3-4, 2016, the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University and Food Lawyers of Canada will bring together thought leaders from across this field at a two-day national conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia to explore law's changing role in Canadian food systems and to help chart the future of food law and policy in Canada.
EVENT OVERVIEW: This event comes at a critical juncture for Canada's food systems one at which Canadians are confronting both pervasive challenges and a growing set of public and political commitments to respond. Without a doubt, law and legal actors - including lawyers, researchers, policy makers, adjudicators, advocacy organizations and others - already occupy influential positions in this space. But these actors frequently approach food systems from a particular discipline or perspective, such as agriculture, health and safety, regulation and innovation, poverty and social justice, or environmental planning. As a result, food law and policy in Canada has yet to develop around a clear understanding of its participants or its diverse sites of action. The Future of Food Law & Policy will be a unique forum for these actors to come together, make connections, share ideas, identify common needs and resources, and map new directions.
We are excited to announce that The Future of Food Law & Policy will also be partnering with Nova Scotia's signature Devour! Food Film Festival (http://www.devourfest.com) to explore legal issues in food along with prominent film-makers at a special conference event. Conference participants are invited to take part in the many other Devour! events being planned in Wolfville, Nova Scotia - information about a special events package for conference participants will be available soon on our website.
CALL FOR PRESENTERS: (Deadline: 12 Aug 2016)
Scholars, practitioners, policy makers, adjudicators, organizations and others who would like to be part of the conference program are invited to submit individual-presentation or group-panel proposal abstracts of no more than 300 words on any of the following conference themes:
- How do/should we define the domain of "food law and policy", and what are the implications of that definition for this emerging field?
- What are the next big legal and policy challenges confronting Canadian food systems?
- What does the future of food law legal practice, research and advocacy look like?
- How can we best provide access to, educate and mentor the next generation of thinkers, practitioners and decision-makers in Canadian food law and policy?
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Please submit abstracts to firstname.lastname@example.com by August 12, 2016.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Details relating to conference registration, program and continuing education accreditation will be available soon. Please visit our website at http://foodlaw.ca/halifax2016 for up-to-date information. We look forward to working with our partners in developing this exciting event, and to welcoming participants to Halifax in November.

Over the past few years, federal officials have expressed concerns about a perceived increase in a "Islamist homegrown terrorist" threat. High-profile cases involving "lone wolves" accused of terrorist plots on U.S. soil coupled with public perceptions of Muslims as prone to terrorism have triggered a flurry of congressional hearings and executive reports recommending more aggressive counterterrorism enforcement focused on Muslim communities. Meanwhile, critics of "hard" counterterrorism tactics propose increasing community outreach to Muslim communities, through community policing in particular, as the solution to homegrown terrorism. As a consequence, community policing has become popular both among policy makers seeking to be more preventive in counterterrorism and Muslim community leaders concerned with protecting the civil liberties of their constituents.
But community policing in counterterrorism as currently envisioned betrays its rhetoric of empowerment and mutual trust, and serves as another tool in the federal government's toolkit that perpetuates the "terrorist other" stereotype. Until this stereotype can be stripped away from "hard on terror" preventive counterterrorism strategies, the benefits gained in the traditional local community policing model of the 1990s are unlikely to be realized. And Muslim communities have the most to lose.
In contrast to traditional community policing where citizens seek the protection of local law enforcement from third-party drug dealers, gangsters, and other criminal elements, Muslim communities engage with federal law enforcement to dissuade them from spying on their mosques and social gatherings, targeting their vulnerable youth in informant-led terrorist plots, prosecuting their charities for giving humanitarian aid to conflict zones, and adopting invidious counterterrorism tactics that destroy community bonds. And as they beseech their government to respect their civil liberties, Muslims must also seek the protection of law enforcement against private acts of violence and discrimination. For many Muslims, the government may come across as more a foe than a friend.
Thus, counterterrorism community policing ("CCP") is not, nor is it intended to be, the same as community policing in the traditional criminal context. Rather than fundamentally change relations between law enforcement and communities into a partnership, CCP perpetuates preventive counterterrorism strategies that prioritize surveillance, investigation, prosecution, and conviction of Muslims.
Put simply, community policing co-opts Muslim community leaders into gathering and sharing intelligence on Muslims' political beliefs, religious practices, and other information otherwise unavailable to law enforcement due to constitutional constraints. Believing they are serving the best interests of Muslim communities, many unwitting participants disclose the on-goings of the community and provide information about the politics of community leaders and mosques. This enables law enforcement's investigative arm to reach deeper into Muslim communities' affairs than they could otherwise, resulting in a de facto deputization process. All the while, aggressive counterterrorism enforcement practices and policies focused exclusively on Muslims remain unchanged.
Herein lies the paradox -- Muslims have little choice but to engage with the same entities that both violate their civil liberties and legitimize civil rights violations by private actors. Indeed, for many Muslim proponents of community policing, it offers a formal mechanism to reform counterterrorism practices that adversely impact Muslim communities' civil liberties. Accordingly, community policing is likely to exacerbate, rather than resolve, the underlying subordination of Muslims post-9/11 manifested in racialized counterterrorism policies notwithstanding the increase of homegrown terrorism threats from white supremacists groups, far right militia groups, and anti-immigrant extremists.
Proponents of community policing between law enforcement and Muslim communities erroneously presume a convergence of interest between the two. Moreover, they shortsightedly focus on local policing when in practice federal law enforcement agencies drive counterterrorism enforcement. In the end, community policing is merely an extension of the federal government's prosecutorial approach that prioritizes law enforcement's interests in expanding the number of anti-terrorism investigations and prosecutions at the expense of key collective rights of American Muslim communities' and the kinds of community alliances essential to defeat genuine terrorism threats. These include the rights to be free from surveillance, practice their religion without undue scrutiny by the state, travel to their countries of origin without fear of being watch listed or exiled on No Fly Lists, and politically mobilize their communities without inviting further government scrutiny.
Rather than meaningfully address these problems, community policing bolsters the broader strategy of integrating local police as the eyes and ears on the ground in the federal counterterrorism regime. As a result, federal funding will seduce some local law enforcement into the process through attractive federal funds while others eventually will abandon the project to preserve the credibility necessary for decreasing non-terrorism crimes with the assistance of the communities they serve. In the end, for community policing to work federal law enforcement culture and practices must abandon the adversarial model. In light of the post-9/11 politics built on the assumption that Muslims are inherently prone to terrorism; such changes are unlikely in the near future.
So long as countering terrorism is driven more by the identity of the suspect rather than the nature of the crime, communities and local law enforcement alike should reject community policing in counterterrorism.
This article is based on a more in-depth analysis of community policing, Policing Terrorists in the Community

The Baseball Hall of Fame: A Qualitative Analysis – Final Thoughts
By my count, there are just over 200 former Major League baseball players in the Hall of Fame. This does not count players who were eventually elected to The Hall not for what they did on the field, but for what they later did as coaches, managers, or even team owners.
I also did not count former Negro League players like Satchel Paige who, though he did spend some time in The Majors, is actually in The Hall primarily for his vast accomplishments as a Negro League pitcher.
After having written well over 15,000 words on this subject, I have come to several conclusions.
First, there is broad consensus on the top 40-50 players of all-time. I don't mean that you and I would come up with exactly the same list of players on such a list, just that if you polled a room-full of those of us who spend an inordinate amount of time on this stuff, our lists would not vary greatly.
So far, so good.
There are 23 players who have a career WAR over 100. These are the shoo-ins. There are another ten players who accumulated WAR between 90-99 in their respective careers (interestingly, this is one of the smallest cohort groups in the HOF.)
Among the players in the 90+ range include Christy Mathewson, Jimmie Foxx, and Al Kaline, so I think it's probably safe to assume that expanding the Hall to at least the top 33 players would be acceptable to a reasonable person.
Yet, if we limit Hall membership to this elite group of 33 players to ensure that only the "best of the best" are included, we have slammed the door shut on Cal Ripkin, Jr., Joe DiMaggio, Roberto Clemente, George Brett, Nolan Ryan, and a dozen other players who generated 80-89.9 WAR in their careers. And I know you're not up for that, are you?
Now that I have strong-armed you into accepting the top 50 players, (as measured by WAR), into The Hall, I'm sure you feel like you can rest on your laurels here. Just keep these 50 plaques in The Plaque Room in the HOF, and eliminate all the others. Then you'll have a TRUE Hall of Fame where only the best of the best are honored.
But we still have a couple of problems here (three actually.) The first thing you might be forgetting is that baseball is constantly generating new players, some of whom are pretty damned good. Albert Pujols, for example, is already approaching 90 WAR. What happens when he is elected into The Hall? To keep Hall membership exclusive by limiting it to just the 50 top players, whom do you then kick out of The Hall? Wade Boggs? Steve Carlton? Good luck on that.
And Pujols won't be the last player to top 80 career WAR in his career.
You also have another problem. You still don't have a catcher in the HOF.
WAR is tough on catchers (see Adam Darowski's Hall of wWAR for more on this topic,) in large part because they just don't play as often as other position players, and because the nature of the position takes a bigger toll on the human body, which tends to wear out faster than someone playing, say, first base.
Also, though this may be of lesser concern to you, there also aren't any relief pitchers over 80.0 WAR in The Hall.
We can go on and on like this, adding now all players between 70-79 WAR (including Bench, Carew, Reggie Jackson, Johnny Mize, Robin Yount, etc,) and even dropping into the 60's WAR (including Ernie Banks, Duke Snider, Tony Gwynn, Carlton Fisk, and some guy named Jackie Robinson, to name a few.)
Pick a random WAR cohort to eliminate, and I'll tell you why you have a problem. No players in the 40-49 range should be allowed, you state firmly, because now you're shoving in guys with less than half the career WAR as the top couple of dozen players in The Hall.
I've got two words for you: Sandy Koufax. Or, if you prefer, Dizzy Dean. How about Rube Waddell? He only led his league in strikeouts six straight season. Sure there are players in the 40+ WAR cohort who don't belong in The Hall, but where's the cutoff, exactly?
Meanwhile, in the 20+ and 30+ career WAR groups of HOF players, you have some of the best relief pitchers of all time, including Goose Gossage, Bruce Sutter, and Rollie Fingers. What should we do about them?
If we ignore WAR for these players, plus the players like Koufax and Dean who burned brightly for just a few short years, and players like Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, Ryne Sandberg and Willie Stargell (each in the 50+ WAR cohort) whose reputations somehow don't mesh with what we'd expect their WAR's to be, we are left with a bit of a mess of a situation.
Sure, in general, the lower the WAR, the worse the player is, but there are enough exceptions to make us consider, perhaps, what this all means.
What exactly is it we're trying to accomplish here? When we say that we want only the best players in The Hall, do we mean that we simply want the players, regardless of our emotional connection to them, and despite what their historic legacy might be, who meet the standards of a mathematical formula (however well put together), or are we looking for something more here?
Catfish Hunter has one of the lowest career WAR of any starting pitcher in the HOF. I concede, unconditionally, that he was an overrated pitcher who, if we wasn't fortunate enough to have pitched for excellent A's, then the Yankees teams in the '70's, he would have been more or less just another pitcher.
But I'm glad Catfish is in The Hall. The fan in me just doesn't give a rat's ass what his WAR is (and I don't consider myself a "traditionalist," whatever the hell that means, when it comes to stats, either.) I greatly respect modern statistical analysis, and I'm glad that I have a nice peg to hang my biases on when it suits me (WAR says Jack Morris doesn't belong in The Hall, so screw him.)
None of this changes the fact, however, that there really are players in The Hall who don't belong there. We could probably even agree on several of them. I would take out Lloyd Waner, Tommy McCarthy, Freddie Lindstrom, Herb Pennock, and Dave Bancroft before breakfast tomorrow morning. But they're there, and I guess they're not going anywhere.
Meanwhile, short of taking the vote away from the BBWAA and from the Veteran's Committee (which has largely stopped electing former players just about all together anyway), what is to be done about Hall voting now and on into the future? How do we eliminate mistakes, and get back to the Golden Age of the Hall of Fame?
Here's the good news. If it is exclusivity you seek, we are already swiftly sauntering down that street. Here's the evidence.
In each decade since the 1970's, inductions of former MLB players into The Hall has declined for four straight decades. The number of players inducted into the HOF in each of the past four decades is as follows:
1970's – 36 (one of the worst decades in terms of quality of players inducted in history.)
1980's – 29
1990's – 24
2000's (including 2011 inductees) – 22
And this is without yet knowing how the steroids controversy will affect several (otherwise obvious) potential HOF'ers like Bonds, Clemens, etc. Almost certainly, in the very near future, there will be a huge backlog of historically significant players not in The Hall that will rival the untapped talent available to the first HOF election committees back in the 1930's. Whether this is a good thing or a tragic situation depends on your point of view.
But one thing's for sure. No one will be able to argue that too many mediocre players are being elected into The Hall.
Although no group of humans, and no statistical formulas, will probably ever solve the puzzle of how to create a "perfect" Hall of Fame, I believe that if you are looking for a time when there was something resembling a Golden Age for the HOF, you can stop looking.
We may already be there.

As we are talking about trends of 2017 we have to mention the oversized denim jacket, which is one of the trends that came back again strongly in 2017 and we saw a lot of celebrities and fashion gurus rocking it.
If you're curious about the best way to style an oversize denim jacket, we've picked up on a few simple tips for wearing the summer staple.
Since we came to fall season which is our most favorite one, we advise going for a medium to dark acid wash or even a grey/black denim jacket, instead of leather jackets, the oversized denim jacket is the perfect yet cool choice! Since oversized denim jackets have that grungy side we would like to stick to edgy pieces in neutral colors.
Like distressed black denim, graphic T-shirts, plaid blouses, chokers, layer necklaces, anything leather and dark lipsticks! Also, since the jacket is going to be loose, make sure the rest of your outfit is the complete opposite so you're not drowning in your clothes.
For example, if you're going to wear a relaxed T-shirt, grab your skinny jeans, to balance the look. Wear it over an oversized t-shirt with over the knee boots. This look is one of the most popular ways to wear them and also looks like instagram looks of bloggers and celebrities and also will be suitable for girls with hijab.
Tip to keep in mind is styling your jacket like you would style a knit loose cardigan or sweaters, like wearing it over a summery dress with tights and boots.
Don't be afraid of wearing jeans over jeans. In fact, many of our favorite outfits include a denim-on-denim look. Try wearing it off your shoulders, hang it on your shoulders or in place of a top. Pay attention when it comes to choose the right cut.
Go for a shape that's more rectangular than square. To make you look baggy, not boxy. Style your denim with your favorite sweatshirt and a pair of sneakers to do something completely different and to stay as cozy as possible.
Mix and match to style your jacket like wearing it with velvet dress and accessories like a hat, platform shoes, and gold jewelry to change the whole look. You can even wear these with fancy clothes. Wear your oversized jacket with a tight dress and heels for a night out with a glam makeup look or even a vintage makeup and a clutch.
Finally pair of shades and a good makeup will finish the look perfectly and will give you a feel of confidence.

Mark-Anthony Kaye has been named to the MLS Team of the Week for Week 11. Laurent Ciman made the team as a member of the bench.
Kaye played the full 90 minutes in LAFC's 2-2 draw with NYCFC on Sunday. The midfielder had two tackles and two shots in the match, providing LAFC with a box-to-box presence throughout.
With the help of center-back partner Walker Zimmerman, Ciman held NYCFC striker David Villa to just one shot on target from open play. The Belgian defender's frequent forays forward led to eight interceptions, pinning NYCFC deep in their own half on numerous occasions.

New Year, New Word : Word of the Year is Brilliance
Last year I started out my vision with the word "fearless". I decided it was time to come out from behind my fears because I am a creator. I am inspired by the divine. I color my life vibrantly, and not always within the lines. I am an artist, I dream big, go for it (move ahead), dance!! I am me… and I love who I am!!
I did a lot of growing the year before, and felt that I was taking a step or two backwards… but the truth I came to that day was that I was taking a giant leap forward. And so the year of 2015 began with an entirely authentic desire and belief that there is more that I am going to do this year than any year before. Are you fearless? I am!! What really struck a cord was that I wrote,
Bring it to me universe, I'm ready to take my journey to the next level of brilliance.
Daily meditation is on my mind, and on my plans for this year, because connecting to that higher power and plugging into that light really does make all of the difference. It gives you gratitude for everything around you. If you haven't tried it, I bet it's because you are a Type A personality like I am. I just cannot deal with slowing down. That's why I use a guided meditation. I really need that to do it, and I really really need the mediation.<
What is your word for the year?
I've settled on 'brilliance' this year!! I'm doing things big, bold and vibrant because there's nothing like a leap into your soaring desires to get you going in the morning!! And I have this intensely bright knowledge that can heal others. As a soulpreneur it took me a long time to get to that reality that my knowledge is powerful and the universe is just waiting for me to realize it and share it. Mapping out and defining your skills and desires helps, both life and businesses. You have to be aligned because they intertwine so often. So what are you doing to make this difference moving into the new year?
I determined that my motto this year will continue to make sure I "do not waste time" as in wasting time on bad relationships, bad business, bad habits… and as an underlying tone, those really stupid things that I was wasting my time with I will no longer worry about. There are truly too many stupid things that don't matter that consume our lives. Last year, I again went into the year with my Heart Chakra wide open expecting to accept all of the amazing infinite possibilities for our life journey. However what I finally get today, on this new year of brilliance, is that there is a place of having your chakra too wide open where we allow our personal boundaries to be skewed. Instead of giving you voice, it often takes it away.
So this year I am going to be that intense brightness of light with my voice, even if only to laugh, kiss or whisper. I am going to let music back into my life in the best ways. I am going to create unplugged zones, in both time and place.
Also, I give up the external competition. The only competition is with myself to be a better me. I will believe that I am always worthy of the light and manifestation of good things in my life. I will lead as I have been called to this and can do so much good by releasing this idea that I have to play small to keep from hurting the feelings of others. My gift is meant to be shared, not hidden. That doesn't mean I won't take some time for myself, because I am worthy of that self love and care as well.
Energy work and yoga are vastly prevalent in my future. Lord help me get through that without putting up my guard. I do honor my feelings, but squashing them doesn't keep our soul intact. It instead creates voids that are empty and that feeling is something I don't want to ever honor or nourish to growth.
What's funny is that my Solar Plexus has been in deep need for most of my life of being honored. And one way we can do that is to be joyful when we poop. I BELIEVE this!! 🙂 In fact when I pooped this morning I thought,
Yes… good riddance to that last of the shit from 2015!!
I know, TMI, but so empowering!!
And glorious plants, you are coming back into my daily life with nourishing water without fear. I let go of the fear that my needs cannot be met with the beautiful bounty of the Earth.
I am going to be vividly alive this year when we talk, and I am going to engage you at a level that you had better be ready for. I am more than the torch, I am the spark – that's what I know and where I will thrive!!

Japan has pledged to provide $5.4 million to fund the emergency assistance of Palestinian refugees through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Japan and the UNRWA have had a long-standing relationship, with Japan being a valued donor for decades and even sitting as a member of the UNRWA Advisory Commission since 1973.
In 2017, Japan contributed $43.4 million in aid to the agency. The recent announcement of support comes amid growing concerns about the agency's financial crisis. The UNRWA has been struggling through severe budget deficits. The lack of funding may affect the coming school year for refugees.
The coming funds are to be used to provide immediate food and aid to the near one million Palestinian refugees displaced from the Gaza Strip.
The struggling budget situation of the UNRWA has been exacerbated by the freeze on aid to Palestine by the United States of America since the start of 2018. The Trump administration declared a need for internal review of its policy for aid, prompting a hold on outgoing assistance. President Donald Trump announced the a total of $65 million would be withheld from UNRWA.
These financial limitations have forced the UNRWA to dismiss 13 percent of its emergency program workers placed int he Gaza Strip. Employment has also shifted 57 percent towards part-time contracts. UNRWA staff have begun protesting against the "harsh measures" the agency has imposed on their employees as a result of the budget cuts.
The UNRWA functions as the agency of the UN body that provides healthcare, education, and social services to Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and in occupied East Jerusalem. The agency also extends assistance to Palestinians displaced to neighboring Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.

Practical Technology – Automotive GPS Units
Before the invention associated with automotive GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM units, traveling that will unknown areas needed to be done as a result of reading an important map and/or requesting directions. Each methods experienced problems. For example, how is one able to effectively go through a road while traveling? Map-reading is simply best when there is another passenger within the car, that isn't usually possible. Asking to get directions may also be annoying, at least when the person presenting the plans does so in a fashion that is quite a bit less clear. Luckily, with your emergence with automotive GPS DEVICE units the procedure of map-reading plus getting directions hasn't been simpler and easier as each can be achieved either by voice initial, touching a screen, pushing buttons or perhaps a combination. Maps pinpointing the precise location crop up right high on the TV screen, while directions could be given through the computer-generated speech. Nothing might be easier and also better. The only real issue is definitely deciding which in turn automotive GPS SYSTEM unit really should be purchased. This content will serve like a guide showing consumers what utilized together look for whenever choosing automobile GPS instruments.
The first patch of consideration whenever buying motor vehicle GPS equipment is witnessing how accurate these devices is. One method to determine this is certainly by the number of channels the actual GPS system has. This happens because more signals means the console can communicate having a larger wide variety of satellites, leading to more protection. Another way to look for the accuracy of all automotive GPS SYSTEM units will be through the simplest way its antenna was created. Make certain the antenna lies in a section of the unit whereby it can stand easily. The next thing give some thought to when viewing automotive DEVICE units is normally size. There are many automotive DEVICE units that won't be compact. OnStar, which should be installed for one's vehicle, is an illustration of this an auto-grade GPS machine that can't be moved out of car-to-car. All kinds of other automotive DEVICE units contrast in portability.
In addition, perspective individuals of auto-grade GPS gadgets should cherish a unit's screen. More extravagant automotive DEVICE units could contain voice-activation and/or touch-screens, while lower priced ones may only use through some buttons. If somebody else is on the car, using buttons is just not as damaging, but only if the driver implement the product, it is really important that that be when hands-free that they can. It is as well important to get a car GPS unit that features the capacity to give directions by way of a computer-generated tone of voice. Doing therefore is one more way in order that the driver for the car maintains their eyes driving on the road and thin air else.
Automotive Advertising Agencies Use Search Engine Algorithms and Social Networks to Sell More Cars
Vehicle advertising services are challenged that provides more intended for less in order to serve a new consolidating automatic industry along with today's World wide web has supplied them while using media along with the methods to try and do it. Budget conscious ?ndividuals are firmly from the driving seat on line Super Road and car dealers get directed its marketing messages on their online showrooms against. Their local facilities to acquire their particular attention. More properly, they usually are following his or he's customers onto the web and in hopes that most of the past as well as pending customers can get them generally there.
The days to weeks of tricky sell messages with conventional growing media like a radio station, T. Sixth v. and newspaper not to mention dealer-centric banner ad ads plus websites advertising and marketing daily supplier specials usually are numbered. Today's car or truck shoppers happen to be empowered by msn to filter dealer messages simply information on the new as well as pre-owned car or truck they are seeking. In improvement, Social Sam tale communities connected with online contacts have rallied most of the support as well as opinions to help your car purchasers decide what they will buy and that dealership they will buy it all from. Since of course, what usually are friends intended for!
The customers' new found method to obtain information on line to allow them within their car searching process doesn't have replaced your need for auto advertising agencies while in the retail motor vehicle industry, nevertheless it really certainly has got changed their particular role within it and the techniques that they should use in order to earn their own agency service fees. The first of all adjustment that the automotive promoting agency will have to make into their business model is usually to recognize that internal profits they will used to appreciate in his or he's radio, L. V. and print out production departments is unable to be guaranteed by the auto automotive dealer clients. Reduced profits volume and income on the particular auto dealers' side on the table demand a much better R. U. I. as well as dollar and even though these departments will still be required to provide digital promotion material pertaining to online email campaigns the manufacturing costs needs to be a small part of prior pricing for you to competitive when using the newly developing online learning resources that a motorcar dealer has having access to.

Connecting High School Student Athletes to the Vast Careers in the World of Sports
Our Mission
Careers In Sports (CIS) is a non-profit 501 c(3) dedicated to presenting career options in the sports industry to high school student athletes through educational workshops, internships and scholarships. We believe by providing students with the information for alternatives to becoming a professional athlete they can still make their dream a reality and work with the pros!
Video of Our First Annual Fundraiser!
Our Vision
The CIS EXPO provides information and knowledge to high school student athletes in an effort to channel their dedication to their athletic skills into a bona fide successful career within their chosen sport. Our hope is to inspire youth to seek meaningful and impactful careers in the sports world; off the field.
By the Numbers
Professional Stats
The stats show the probability of a high school athlete making it in the pros and making millions like Trout or Harden is very small. The probability of a high school athlete making millions over a lifetime pursuing a career in the sports industry is much higher.
Our goal is to equip student athletes with the desire, knowledge and forethought. This is accomplished through introduction to career opportunities, taking advantage of a college scholarship to learn the proper coursework for that chosen career, and internships in desired fields.
A study by the NCAA concluded:
"Sadly though, it comes as a rude surprise to many athletes yearning for a professional sports career to learn that the odds against success are astronomically high..Student athletes whose sole and now failed objective was to make the pros suddenly find themselves in a world that demands skills their universities did not require them to learn."

What is symbrachydactyly?
Symbrachydactyly is a rare congenital hand defect in which the fingers are abnormally short and webbed or conjoined. The bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the hand are usually affected. The roots of the word are from the Greek "syn/sym" (joined), "brachy" (short), and "dactyl" (finger, digit).
Symbrachydactyly occurs in about one out of every 32,000 babies. It affects boys and girls equally.
There are different levels of the condition:
- The thumb is essentially normal, but the remaining fingers are short and stiff and can be webbed (least severe).
- Only the thumb or the thumb and little finger are present (moderately severe).
- All the fingers are missing, and small skin stumps are located where fingers should have developed (most severe).
What causes symbrachydactyly?
Most cases of symbrachydactyly happen for no known reason and without any other abnormalities in the child. It isn't thought to be inherited. In some cases, symbrachydactyly is an accompanying defect in a genetic syndrome called Poland syndrome, in which there is underdevelopment of the chest muscle on one side of the body.
What are the symptoms of symbrachydactyly?
Symbrachydactyly is visible at, or shortly after, birth. Sometimes it is seen on ultrasound before birth. Your child's fingers will be short and webbed. In severe cases, your child's fingers will be small stumps of skin and soft tissue. Because of these differences, your child may have trouble using the affected hand.
How Boston Children's cares for symbrachydactyly
Combining training in adolescent and pediatric orthopedics, hand surgery, plastic surgery, and microsurgery allows our surgeons to provide a comprehensive level of care unmatched in most other hospital settings.
Hand and Orthopedic Upper Extremity Program
The Hand and Orthopedic Upper Extremity Program provides comprehensive care involving occupational and physical therapy, splinting, casting, and reconstructive surgeries for infants, children, and adolescents with complex congenital, neuromuscular, sports-related oncologic, and traumatic upper limb conditions.
Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery Program
The specialists in the Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery Program at Boston Children's are experts in the management of congenital and acquired hand deformities. We recognize the social elements involved in pediatric hand surgery, so an essential part of these operations has been making the child's hand as symmetrical as possible with the unaffected hand.

I bought this scope last fall for a Remington 700 that I was planning on buying, but never did. It's still brand new, but I don't have any use for it anymore. You get the scope, 1" rings, lens covers, and a lifetime warranty. I paid $150 for it and I'm asking $80 SHIPPED to the lower 48 states. I accept Paypal (gift) or Money Orders only. Email me if you're interested or if you have any questions. Thanks!

I will embed a video of some of the photos I took today from front and side angles of each portion of marble that's available. If you need more photos, let me know. I did notice at least one section of larger marble towards the back which appeared to have at least a partial crack towards the edge about several inches from the edge on one side, there were a few pieces that had small minor chips around the edges of the marble the size of a thumb of small finger.
There were two types of marble I noted. One was white with some streaking through it and some was grayish, both are said to be Italian Stone.

Riona Moodley is a PhD student and affiliate at the Kaldor Centre For International Refugee Law at the University of New South Wales. Her doctoral research is focused on assessing the legal feasibility of proposed EU measures to 'regionally' process asylum seekers in non-EU states during mass influx situations. Relevantly, her study seeks to explore whether such an idea, if undertaken as a complementary pathway to protection in the EU (i.e. without prejudice to the right to claim asylum on the territory of EU member states), is capable of operating in compliance with international and EU refugee and human rights law, and if so, what that might look like in practice.

The GANG Scholars(tm) Program provides select highly motivated and high-achieving full-time music and sound design or audio programming students who have a passion for interactive audio with free event passes to professional conferences in the video game or audio industries.
Last March the G.A.N.G. Scholars program awarded passes to five full-time students to GDC 2019!
This Spring March 16-20, the G.A.N.G. Scholars Program will be providing 5 "GDC Core Plus Summits Passes" to GDC in San Francisco, CA. G.A.N.G. Scholars will be selected by the Game Audio Network Guild officers and advisers from among completed applications.
In addition to the event pass, an industry mentor will be paired with the Scholar. The mentor and Scholar will meet during the event in order to ensure the recipient gets the most out of the event and also to answer general industry questions they might have.
GANG Scholars show their commitment to both game audio and scholarship by submitting an application including academic sponsor, GPA, course study as well mandatory essays on how they feel attending the conference or event will impact them and their future in the industry. Other optional essays may also be submitted.
Each applicant must provide a name, title and contact for their Academic Sponsor. The Academic Sponsor must be directly affiliated with the student's institution and is usually a professor or instructor who knows the applicant well, and can provide a short, 1 paragraph confirmation of enrollment and why they recommend the student for the G.A.N.G. Scholar Program.
Passes to the Game Developers Conference (GDC), GameSoundCon, Develop and NYU Videogame Scoring Workshop are donated by their respective organizations. The Game Audio Network Guild is indebted to these organizations for their support of the G.A.N.G. Scholars Program.
NOTE: Due to program limitations, we are only able to consider the first 100 applications to the program for most G.A.N.G. Scholars events. The Application Period may close early if we hit our application limit.
Special Thank You to Game Developers Conference
