The Image of CMF
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is promoting Common Module Family (CMF) strategy together with Renault S.A. In 2013, the OEM launched X-Trail, Rogue and Qashqai in the CMF-C and D segments. New model launches are scheduled also in the CMF-A and B segments. More than 80% of Renault-Nissan Alliance's future vehicles will be based on CMF and the two companies plans to produce 70% of their vehicles on CMF basis by 2020.
Since April 1, 2014, the Alliance has integrated four major functions: Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management, Purchasing, and Human Resources. The alliance plans to achieve a minimum EUR 4.3 billion annual synergy goals. In addition, the areas of partnerships with Daimler AG and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation will be extended. The Renault-Nissan Alliance thus aims to build up synergy effects within themselves and with the joint venture partners to compete with Toyota and VW Groups, whose production and sales volumes exceed those of the alliance.

70% of all Renault-Nissan vehicles to be based on CMF by 2020
The Renault-Nissan Alliance is promoting the Common Module Family (CMF) modular architecture system. The Alliance plans to deploy CMF to 70% of their vehicles by 2020 in order to achieve 40% reduction in development cost per model and 30% reduction in parts cost. By introducing CMF, the Alliance aims to compete with Toyota Group and VW Group, both with larger production volumes.
The savings achieved through CMF are used to add extra value to Nissan vehicles. For example, the Lane Departure Warning, the Around View Monitor and the Automatic Parking systems are available for the new Rogue, X-Trail and Qashqai, which were developed by using CMF in 2013.
The Alliance plans to produce CMF-based vehicles in more than 10 countries through 2020. CMF will be offered in three vehicle segments.
Outline and objectives of CMF
|A Common Module Family (CMF) is an engineering approach that dissects the vehicle into five components: engine compartment, cockpit, front underbody, rear underbody and electrical/electronic systems. Several Big Modules are developed for each component. Development engineers are able to create unprecedentedly various models through different combinations of the Big Modules.
|A CMF is not platform sharing but a "modular architecture system" that can involve several platforms, according to the Alliance.
|CMF introduces new vehicle architecture and promotes common use of non-visible parts, which significantly reduce costs. This has enabled the Alliance to offer their new technologies in environmental and safety areas to all their customers.
Three primary segments of CMF
|Small, fuel-efficient vehicles for high-growth markets
|Mid-sized vehicles such as Nissan March or Renault Clio
|CMF-C and D
|Larger vehicles, including many Renault and Nissan SUVs as well as Crossovers

New model launches in three segments: CMF-C/D, A and B
In 2013, the Renault-Nissan Alliance started to launch CMF models in the C and D segments. In 2015, they will develop and produce an ultra-low cost car using the CMF-A in India. For the next stage, they will develop the new Nissan March, Nissan Note, Renault Clio and other B-segment cars using CMF-B. The all-new March is scheduled to be released in 2016.

CMF-C/D segment vehicles to be released in 2013 and 2014
|In June 2013, the Renault-Nissan Alliance announced its CMF-based development plan. The first deployment of CMF will cover 1.6 million vehicles per year and 14 models (11 Renault Group models + 3 Nissan models) in the compact and large (C and D) segments. It will gradually increase CMF-based models from 2013 through 2020.
CMF-based models for the compact and large segments
|Later 2013
|Qashqai (produced at the Sunderland plant in UK), Rogue (at the Tennessee plant in the US), X-Trail (in Japan and overseas plants)
|Later 2014
|Scenic (MPV), Espace (MPV), Laguna (sedan and wagon)
CMF-A Project to develop and produce an ultra-low cost model in 2015
|Ultra-low cost model based on CMF-A
|In July 2013, Nissan announced the CMF-A project, which will develop the most affordable CMF model. Production will start in 2015 at a plant in Chennai, India. In the expectation that the Indians should be able to develop a vehicle at lower cost as Tata Motors Limited developed the Nano, the Alliance will perform all the processes from development through production in India. This ultra-low cost model will be exported to Southeast Asia as well as to Latin America.
|The Alliance had a project with Bajaj Auto Ltd. for developing an ultra-low cost car of USD 2,500, but dissolved the project in 2012 due to a policy conflict. The CMF-A project has replaced this Bajaj project.
|Datsun i2
|The Datsun "redi-GO CONCEPT (coded as Datsun i2 inside Nissan)" was displayed at the AUTO EXPO 2014. It is a crossover combining hatchback practicality with a rugged sports utility vehicle (SUV) stance. The first new-car-buyers are the targeted customers of the Datsun i2 to be affordably priced between INR 200,000 and INR 300,000. It will be a possible competitor of the Maruti 800. (The price of the Datsun Go, launched in March 2014 in India, starts from INR 312,270.)
|Renault A-Entry
|Renault plans to develop an ultra-low cost car based on the redi-GO CONCEPT and to produce the model in India. The company will market the model in South America as well as in India.
CMF-B segment vehicles to be launched in 2016
|The Renault-Nissan Alliance will develop next models of the Nissan March, Renault Clio and other B-segment cars based on the CMF architecture and start the production as early as 2016. A maximum of three million vehicles per year will be based on the CMF-B. The Alliance plans to standardize 50% of parts among the B-segment cars.
|The Nissan Micra currently manufactured in India will be produced at a Renault plant in France from 2016 (82,000 units/year), according to the announcement in April 2013. The Indian plant will be operated at a full scale with additional production of the Datsun GO, GO+, and the new low-cost car based on the redi-GO CONCEPT.
Renault-Nissan integrates four business functions
On April 1, 2014, the Renault-Nissan Alliance has integrated its four major functions: Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management, Purchasing, and Human Resources. Newly appointed Alliance Executive Vice Presidents (EVP) will take charge of each function: Alliance EVPs for Engineering and Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management are appointed from Nissan and those for Purchasing and Human Resources are appointed from Renault.
The Alliance partners have promoted cooperation on project basis, including platform sharing. This time, they are integrating their organizations, while maintaining respective identities and corporate cultures. The Alliance aims to take advantage of the economies of scale of over eight million vehicles in total, and to become further competitive with Toyota Group and VW Group. The Alliance plans to achieve a minimum EUR 4.3 billion annual synergy goals by 2016.
Renault and Nissan to integrate four major functions
|Renault and Nissan will combine Common Module Family (CMF) engineering, advanced research, powertrain development including electric vehicles, systems engineering and testing facilities and services. The Alliance aims to prevent overlapping investment by dividing responsible areas in engineering between the two partners.
|Approximately 20,000 employees, namely 60% of all the engineers, belong to the new Alliance engineering function after the integration. The remaining 40% will work on areas that represent vehicle characteristics of each Nissan and Renault brand.
|Manufacturing Engineering & Supply Chain Management
|The new integrated manufacturing function will cover global production strategy (including procurement from outside the Alliance), production process engineering, production control and supply chain management.
|The both OEMs' plants will remain as they are and continue to make respective production plans. Responsibility for both OEMs' manufacturing operations, however, will be centralized to the same officers so that the Alliance will be capable of centralized control over the overall production management. Logistics and supply chain as well as production methods will be standardized so that they can manufacture both Nissan and Renault vehicles at each other's plants and accommodate production capacity each other.
|Renault and Nissan have had an integrated purchasing organization for more than a decade. They expect the integration of major engineering and manufacturing functions will drive greater purchasing synergies and larger economies of scale.
|Previously in many cases, Renault and Nissan placed orders with different suppliers for parts and components of a common platform. They will increasingly place orders for the same parts with the same supplier, and larger orders are expected to reduce costs significantly.
|Human Resources
|Renault and Nissan will implement common human resource processes throughout the Alliance, including a unified "talent management" policy (Note).
|Renault and Nissan will promote personnel exchanges between them. They will build a database of their 2,000 top officials so that they can appoint right people in the right positions from the both OEMs in such cases as new plant launches.
Note: "Talent management" refers to "strategic efforts and systems for recruitment, competence development, evaluation and compensation" in order to train and develop human resources.
To expand collaboration with Daimler AG
In April 2010, the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG signed a partnership agreement including mutual shareholding. According to Nissan, ten significant projects were ongoing as of September 2013, when the OEM announced that Nissan's NV350 Urvan commercial vans would be supplied to Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) of the Daimler Group.
Many of their collaborations are related to the Infiniti brand luxury cars, but the scope is expanding to include small cars such as the smart/Twingo, commercial vehicles and joint development of fuel cell vehicles (FCV).
Joint projects of Renault-Nissan and Daimler
|Production of gasoline engines
|Production of Mercedes-Benz 4-cylinder gasoline engines will start in mid-2014 at a new facility constructed at Nissan's engine plant in Decherd, Tennessee. The engines will be supplied for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, built at Daimler's plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and for the all-new Infiniti as well.
|Development of turbo-charged engines
|The joint development is under progress for a new family of three and four cylinder gasoline engines with turbo-chargers and direct fuel injection.
|Diesel-powered Infiniti Q50
|Nissan launched the Infiniti Q50 fitted with Daimler's 2.2-liter diesel engine and automatic transmission in Europe in the fall of 2013.
|The Nissan Skyline fitted with M-Benz engine
|Nissan plans to release in Japan a new Skyline powered by a Mercedes-Benz 2,000 cc turbocharged engine by the end of 2014. Only a 3.5-liter gasoline engine with a hybrid system is available for the current Skyline model. The Infiniti Q50 is expected to mount the engine for exports. (A media report in April 2014.)
|Infiniti Q30
|In 2015, Nissan will release a model based on the Infiniti Q30 Concept, which will share components with Daimler's compact models. It will be manufactured at Sunderland, the U.K.
|Production of small luxury cars
|Nissan and Daimler announced that they were negotiating on production of small luxury cars together at Nissan's third plant in Mexico. As of April 2014, however, the plan does not seem to be substantiated.
|Production of Daimler's four-seater "Smart" and the Renault Twingo will begin at the Renault plant in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, for launches in later 2014. The four-seater "Smart Fourjoy" Concept was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2013.
|The new generations of the Smart and the Twingo are under development on the basis of a shared architecture.
|M-Benz Citan
|Daimler launched the Mercedes-Benz Citan light commercial van based on the Renault Kangoo in 2013.
|A fuel cell vehicle is under development jointly by the Renault-Nissan, Daimler and Ford. Nissan plans to launch the model in 2017 and Daimler plans to start production in 2017.
|Commercial vehicles
|The MFTBC of the Daimler Group supplies 2-ton trucks to Nissan, while Nissan supplies the 1.5-ton Atlas F24 trucks to the MFTBC.
|Nissan will supply the NV350 Urvan commercial vans (NV350 Caravan in Japan) to the MFTBC by the end of 2014. MFTBC will sell them as the Canter vans in emerging countries in the Middle East, Asia and South America.
Note: Although competition is expected to rise between Nissan and Daimler in the luxury car segment, "The overlapping clientele of the Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz brands are limited and the cooperation is worth continuing as far as positive effects are larger than negative effects," according to the partners.
Considering joint development of entry-level global minicar with Mitsubishi Motors
In June 2011, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation established NMKV Co., Ltd., a joint venture company to develop and produce minicars. The Nissan Dayz, Dayz Roox, Mitsubishi eK wagon and eK Space have already been launched in the market.
In November 2013, the Alliance and Mitsubishi Motors announced that they would expand areas of their joint projects. Specifically, the projects will include co-development of a new entry-level car based on a minicar platform for the global market.
Renault-Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors to expand collaboration
|To develop Mitsubishi brand sedans based on Renault cars
|To develop a sedan in the D-segment based on a Renault car, presumably the Laguna, and launch it under the Mitsubishi brand in the U.S. and Canada. To manufacture this sedan at the Renault-Samsung plant in Busan, South Korea and export it to North America under the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
|To develop a sedan in the global C-segment, presumably to be based on the Renault Megane. The manufacturing location is under discussion.
|Entry-level global car
|To strengthen the Nissan-Mitsubishi joint venture NMKV and develop a new entry-level car including an electric version for the global market. This model will be based on the platform used in the minicar that both OEMs sell in Japan.
|Mini commercial electric vehicle (EV)
|Supply of mini commercial EV from Mitsubishi Motors to Nissan is under consideration.
|Sources:Joint press release by the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Mitsubishi Motors dated on Nov. 5, 2013.
|Note 1.
|Mitsubishi Mortors' mid-term plan "New Stage 2016"(FY 2014 to FY 2016) announced on Nov. 5, 2013 advocates "effective use of resources through business partnerships."
|Mitsubishi Motors has already been supplied with Nissan's luxury sedans, the Fuga and Cima and sells them in the market as the Mitsubishi Dignity and Proudia respectively. As for development and production of the sedans, Mitsubishi Motors will totally depend on the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
Renault-Nissan's 2013 global sales volume reaches 8.27 million
In 2013, the Renault-Nissan Alliance including AVTOVAZ of Russia achieved record high global sales of 8,264,821 vehicles, up 2.1% from the previous year. The Alliance aims to further extend the integrated management and achieve larger synergy effects through leveraging the size of over eight million unit sales.
Renault-Nissan Alliance Global Sales
|Alliance Total
Source: Renault-Nissan Alliance news releases dated on Feb. 4, 2013, Feb. 7, 2014 Note: Mitsubishi Motors' global sales: 987,000 units in FY 2012 and 1,065,000 units estimated for FY 2013. Therefore the grand total sales of the Alliance and their increasingly strategic joint venture partner Mitsubishi Motors will exceed nine million units, which is competitive enough with Toyota Group (global sales of 9.98 million units in 2013) and VW Group (9.71 million units).

President Mills is a fraud and hypocrite who hides behind fake Christian credentials to do bad things and Ghanaians are being flummoxed and adumbrated by this wicked President.
Can this President sleep soundly when Teachers are not being paid because of lack of funds but we have $54,000 to give to each Parliamentarian? Folks, the same Parliamentarians are going to receive the same amount or higher in another four years, is that fair when the minimum wage for a government worker in Ghana is less than $70.00 a month?.
Our christian President is aware about this inequality but has no heart to address this anomaly. The NDC government government he is presiding over is supposed to be social democrats who care about the ordinary Joe six pack but that is not so if you extrapolate what they say to what they really do. They lie to Ghanaians that NPP is a party that values property owning but look how their Ministers, and Presidential Aides are grabbing properties left and right and fighting over contracts(Ama Benyiwa Doe vs Allotey Jacobs) These Politicians are using their pens and fancy English to rob poor Ghanaians and it is about time we mount a big demonstration and stop the 'armed robbery" by these Politicians.
It was reported in this forum yesterday, 7/14/2011 that, President Evans Atta Mills has ordered the powers that be to release the ex-grati of Parliamentarians to them.
The ex-gratia to these Parliamentarians is an eye-popping GHc80,000, close to $54,000. Most of these Parliamentarians are still in Parliament drawing about $3,000 a month which they want the government to increase to $8,000 when these MP's live free on government housing, allowance for gas(Petrol), free electricity and water and car loans of $50,000. Now do we understand why some people will even kill their mother's to become Parliamentarians?
It was reported in this forum about three days ago that, some Teachers have not receive their salaries for past twenty four(24)months. Why should it take twenty four months for new Employees to be paid their first salary? One wonders how these Teachers have survived for two years without drawing salaries. Do we understand why corruption is soo rife in our country? The government has no money to pay teachers and contractors and our children are schooling under trees because we do not have money to do these things but we have 18.4 million Ghana cedis or $12.35M, that is 80,000 times 230 MP'S
Read what an excuse the deputy Majority leader used to justify the stealing going on in Ghana. "However, the Deputy Majority Leader, Hon Rashid Pelpuo says the Manhyia MP got it all wrong.
�This is terribly unfounded and vicious. There is no iota of truth in this very vile accusation. There are members from the opposition NPP who are saying they are broke and need money and there are members from our side also who say they need money.
�So there is pressure from both sides asking us to expedite action on the ex-gratia. So anybody who has gone round to spin it and give it that kind of vicious image is very unacceptable�.
We the Electorates have had it with our prima donna Politicians we are going to embark on a dharna at the castle and Parliament house until these hallucinating Politicians come out of their stupor of power drunkness and realise how they are suffocating Ghanaians to death with their narcisstic demands. Let it sink into the heads of these Parliamentarians that, we will not accept an increase of a penny more to their 2,700 cedis a month salary. If they think they can do better outside Parliament, they should resign and go out out get those jobs paying 7,000 cedis a month, that is their prerogative.
Fellow citizens, whether you are an NDC, NPP, CPP or any other Party supporter, lets calm down now and assess how our Politicians, those in power now and in the opposition are stealing the country to 'bankruptcy without batting an eye doing it. In this short article geared mainly towards our Parliamentarians corrupt atitude, some people are going to be shocked about how some Parliamentarians are using their positions to rob the country with the backing of the constitution. This article will address three areas of corruption that our constitution has put its stamp of approval to.
1. What is the meaning of end of service benefits? According to our thieving Parliamentarians, end of service benefits which is about $50,000 to each of the 230 Parliamentarians are paid every four years at the end of the general elections. My layman's understanding of end of service benefits is when one retires from his job, but it means a whole different thing to our Parliamentarians.
Some of our Parliamentarians have been in Parliament since 1992 and that means they have collected this end of service benefits four times, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. One such Parliamentarian is Alba Bagbin who is involved in this recent brouhaha about collecting more than what he is entitled to. He is not alone, there are a lot of NPP and NDC members who have collected this booty four, three or two times. My fellow citizens, this is as bad as armed robbery only that these people in suits are doing it by passing laws that allow them to steal legitimately. How many workers receive end of service benefits four or five times in their lives?
2. Almost every Ghanaian living in Ghana, whether working for the government or a private company pays his or her own rent, electricity, water bill and transportation to work and back except our Politicians in the Judiciary, Executive and the legislature branch who are the top earners in our society in terms of salary and benefits and living rent free with electricity and water service with maid and garden boy service provided free of charge and paid by the hardworking hoi polloi who have a hard time making ends meet while our Politicians are still maintaining the colonial mentality of having their bills paid by the poor while they bank their fat checks.
Is it fair to ask a teacher earning about GHc200 a month to pay his own rent, electricity, water bill and transportation cost while a Parliamentarian earning about GHc3,000 a month is living rent free on this poor teachers taxes?
3.What is the meaning of ex-gratia? It is defined as a favor rather than as a matter of right so how can these Parliamentarians use ex-gratia as a collateral to secure $50,000 loans to buy cars? Can the Doctors, Nurses, teachers, civil servants at the Ministeries go to any Bank and access loans by telling the loan officer, I want to use my end of year bonus as a security when one is not guaranteed to receive one? But hold on people, the Parliamentarians have passed laws to make this favor as right and even know the amount they are going to receive.
People, don't get confused, this ex-gratia is not the same as retirement benefits because when these Parliamentarians retire from government service, they are going to receive their retirements. If one was a teacher before becoming a Parliamentarian, he or she will receive his retirement as a former teacher.
I am appealing to my brothers and sisters in Ghana, especially the workers, Professors, teachers, Pysicians, Nurses, Accountants, Engineers and the educated Professionals to educate others about how their representatives are using the law to steal and agitate for changes in the constitution to deny our Politicians these benefits which they do not deserve. Let's make it crystal clear to our Politicians that, we are tired of their stealing and will not take it anymore.
This is a serious issue and should be taken as such so I am providing my email for interested people to contact so that we can start a popular movement to get our Politicians to do the right thing by living on their salaries like any other Ghanaian.

New season, new coach
Jeff Kai had little intention of becoming a ski coach.After all, the Sandy, Ore., native didn't even start skiing until the age of 12, and had never heard of the U.S. Ski Association until his senior year in high school. "By then, it was too late for me," he joked Thursday.He would have been content harvesting the 20,000 Christmas trees dotting his family's farm, and tending to the Black Angus cattle. But everything changed in 1985.A friend offered him the opportunity to coach a high school ski team near his hometown. Kai was enamored with the experience, one that sent his life in an unexpected, but rewarding new direction. "I loved the challenge," Kai said. "It's very rewarding and satisfying when you're able to have an influence and help athletes."For nearly 20 years Kai has coached athletes of all ages – from J5s to female World Cup giant slalom and slalom skiers – and traveled around the world. In October, following a six-year stint as head of development for the U.S. Ski Association's Western Region, he landed in Aspen as new head alpine director for the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club."This is an opportunity for me to work with a group of athletes and watch them grow and develop as athletes and individuals," Kai said. "This is a great club. Others would be so lucky to have these training facilities and this staff."Kai wears the smile and relaxed demeanor of a content man. It's been only one month since he made the difficult decision to leave a job he loved and family in Oregon, but he said he can tell Aspen will be a great fit.Club executive director Mark Cole agreed.
"I've been impressed with his calm, thoughtful approach to things," Cole said Thursday. "He's been involved in dry-land training and is already getting to know the athletes."Kai was the lone member of his family who picked up skiing. His father, a doctor from the Midwest, and his mother and four sisters had little interest, he remembered. But, at the behest of a friend that joined a local ski club, an intrigued Kai soon followed suit."I thought it was cool and interesting," he said. "I went for it. I broke some skis."Kai started racing competitively three years later. His career never truly blossomed because he didn't know about opportunities offered through the USSA, he said. That, and he, admittedly, wasn't very good.Following his graduation from Portland State University, where he earned a degree in business and forestry, Kai was offered a ski coaching position at an area high school. His interest was piqued. He then took a position as race director for a small ski area near Mount Hood. There, he cultivated a relationship with the ski director for the Mount Hood Academy. He was hired as a coach by the academy in 1988. He worked there for seven years.In 1995, he signed on as an assistant coach and technician for the U.S. Ski team, working with female World Cup giant slalom and slalom athletes. During the season, he made seven trips to Europe and visited Chile. He also continued to learn a lot about his own abilities. "You progress a lot as a skier when you're a coach at that level," Kai said. "You have to set the example and work on presentation. It's hard to ask an athlete to do something you can't do correctly."Kai parlayed his experience on the World Cup circuit into a job at Mission Ridge Ski and Board Resort in Wenatchee, WA. Following a brief return to the Mount Hood Academy, Kai was wooed by USSA in 2000 to work with the Western Region's elite-level young athletes as head of development.
He also taught USSA certification seminars for alpine ski coaches to help bolster the performance of various ski schools."I was impressed by his experience working with USSA," Cole said. "There's no question about the fact the Western Region has been one of the strongest. He helped make that happen."AVSC severed ties with previous alpine director Dave Hjerleid on April 18. And while rumors concerning Hjerleid's departure were rampant, Hjerleid told the Aspen Times on May 1 that the club simply chose a path that did not involve him. In order to fill its vacancy, the club embarked on a nationwide search, entrusting staff, board members and the USSA with the responsibility of identifying potential candidates. Kai was one of 15 potential replacements targeted."I received an e-mail from Mark in June," Kai said. "I wasn't looking to make a change. I loved doing what I was doing. But I said, 'What have I got to lose?'" AVSC marketing and Development manager Alan Cole, who helped conduct the nearly two-hour phone interview with Kai, told The Aspen Times in May that Kai emerged as the front-runner."It was his depth of experience. No question," Alan Cole said. "He has worked with elite-level athletes and has great experience running a program."Kai, hesitant to leave Oregon and his two sons, 9-year-old Renn and 7-year-old Trace, mulled over an offer that would change his life. He had been to Aspen just six times, the last coming during the Sirius Satellite Winternational in December when he brought some of the country's best J2 skiers to be forerunners. In 2002, he came to the valley with some athletes to compete in a NorAm event.
He knew little of the town, except for the athletes he coached during various developmental system camps. They were athletes who demonstrated tremendous potential, he remembered. "Would I say I knew Aspen well? No," he said. "I had never been off Highway 82 except for in town."I never thought I'd leave Oregon. I'm sure other people didn't think I would either."Mark Cole was confident, he said. After all, he had the perfect selling point."One thing we had going for us was that we could provide better powder than the Northwest," Cole joked. "We have a program and a setting here that is just outstanding. I was convinced that we could provide a great opportunity for him."Kai had been approached by various organizations in the past, but showed little interest in making a change, he said.But AVSC was too enticing an offer to pass up."This is an opportunity for me to grow as a coach and an individual," Kai said. "This club is more multifaceted [than I've experienced in the past], and has the infrastructure to be truly successful. There's tremendous support from the community here."This club has been a player at times. I want to do my best to make it a nationally recognized club."

At about 1,900 people, Indian Head has the ubiquitous small-town vibe: Most everyone knows each other; businesses crowd the lots on main street and the service road off the highway; old-timers still lament the closure of a storied tree farm years ago; buildings are fastened (rightfully so) for their utility first, their aesthetics second.
Like in most small communities, it's easy in Indian Head to assume urban problems are just that — confined to the city, absent from the town.

By Randy E. Barnett
The U.S. structure present in institution textbooks and less than glass in Washington isn't the one enforced this day by way of the very best court docket.

From the trade Clause, to the mandatory and correct Clause, to the 9th and 10th Amendments, to the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth modification, the perfect court docket has rendered every one of those provisions toothless. within the strategy, the written structure has been lost.
Barnett establishes the unique which means of those misplaced clauses and gives a pragmatic strategy to restoration them to their vital position in constraining executive: adopting a "presumption of liberty" to provide the advantage of the doubt to voters while legislation limit their rightful workouts of liberty. He additionally presents a brand new, life like and philosophically rigorous thought of constitutional legitimacy that justifies either reading the structure based on its unique that means and, the place that which means is obscure or open-ended, construing it that allows you to larger shield the rights retained by means of the people.

Freedom's Law: The Moral Reading of the American by Ronald Dworkin
By Ronald Dworkin

The structure, he observes, gives you person rights in tremendous summary phrases. the 1st modification prohibits the passing of legislation that "abridge the liberty of speech"; the 5th modification insists on "due strategy of law"; and the Fourteenth modification calls for "equal defense of the legislation" for all folks. What does that summary language suggest while it really is utilized to the political controversies that divide Americans--about affirmative motion and racial justice, abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, censorship, pornography, and homosexuality, for instance? Judges, and finally the justices of the ideally suited court docket, needs to come to a decision for everybody, and that provides them nice energy. How should still they come to a decision? Dworkin defends a selected solution to that query, which he calls the ethical examining of the structure. He argues that the invoice of Rights needs to be understood as starting up common ethical rules approximately liberty and equality and dignity, and that personal voters, legal professionals, and at last judges needs to interpret and practice these common ideas through posing and attempting to solution extra concrete ethical questions. Is freedom to settle on abortion relatively a easy ethical correct and may curbing that correct be a deep injustice, for instance? Why? within the distinct discussions of person constitutional concerns that shape the majority of the ebook, Dworkin exhibits that our judges do come to a decision challenging constitutional circumstances by way of posing and answering such concrete ethical questions. certainly he indicates that that's the in simple terms approach they could come to a decision these circumstances. yet so much judges--and so much politicians and such a lot legislations professors--pretend in a different way. they are saying that judges must not ever deal with constitutional matters as ethical matters simply because that will be undemocratic--it could suggest that judges have been substituting their very own ethical convictions for these of Congressmen and kingdom legislators who were elected through the folk. in order that they insist that judges can, and will, make a decision in a few extra mechanical means which consists of no clean ethical judgment on their half. the outcome, Dworkin exhibits, has been nice constitutional confusion. Is the basis on the center of this confusion relatively sound? Is the ethical reading--the merely analyzing of the yank structure that makes sense--really undemocratic? In lively and illuminating discussions either one of the nice constitutional instances of modern years, and of normal constitutional rules, Dworkin argues, on the contrary, that the extraordinarily American model of presidency lower than precept, in response to the ethical examining of the structure, is in truth the simplest account of what democracy quite is.

On the Record - Steve Ahearn
with sarah kienle
Clarinetist Steve Ahearn takes a deep dive into the ways in which we all enjoy music and shares his experience of being a parent and orchestral musician.
Brahms: Symphony No. 4, I. Allegro non troppo
"For me the opening of this piece is so perfect. Every time this piece starts, for me, it's like walking into a door of a warm room and the music is already playing. I feel like there's music that begins and it's like you're walking into it, like stepping into the ocean and it's always been there, and then there's music that sort of starts and hits you in the side of the face, and this is one of those pieces that for me it's like opening a door on a winter day and a fire's going in the hearth. It's just so warm. But it's also so immediately Brahms. It seems you can sit back and sort of bathe in it, in the simplicity of it, and then as you start to peel back the layers, he's creating something that feels simple that's incredibly complex."
Mahler: Symphony No. 2, III. In ruhig fließender Bewegung
"For me the third movement of Mahler 2 is quintessentially Mahler… the way that he writes so beautifully but at the same time it's also funny, and it's sarcastic, it's sardonic, it's witty…
I think just from the opening, if Brahms is walking into that room with the fire going, Mahler just kicks the door in."
Radiohead "NUDE" from In Rainbows
"What they did on this album In Rainbows for me really is beautiful. It's so simple and it really highlights Thom Yorke's voice in a way that's almost operatic…
Also on this track early in the song you can hear their guitarist, whose name is Jonny Greenwood, who is also a composer and he is a huge fan of Messiaen, and he uses an instrument on this song called the ondes martenot, which is a French instrument from the 1920's that actually Messiaen uses in his Turangalîla-Symphonie and they use it in a very subtle way. It sounds a little bit like a theremin. It's like a keyboard but it has wires on it so you can bend pitches. So it's in the background, but I love that he uses that and to me, that's a meaningful part of my connection with that band and this song in particular is hearing people experimenting with other instruments and finding other ways of making music."
Ryuichi Sakamoto: "Church Dream" from The Revenant (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
"[The Revenant] to me was absolutely incredible and a main character of the movie was the soundtrack…
In this movie, it's this incredible space that they create, this vast frozen tundra which is also a character in and of itself in the film. And then the music backs that up so much. I love the simplicity of the writing and I really love how there's some production in it, like there's a little bit of synthesizer but the strings are still the main voice."
The Bad Plus and Joshua Redmond "As This Moment Slips Away" from The Bad Plus Joshua Redmond
"This track always gets me every time I put it on. It's not unlike the Brahms in that… it sets up an expectation and then 'whap!', immediately it's different, but it's not in a way that is that obvious to you…
I can't imagine playing it actually, it seems incredibly hard, but it sounds so natural and the rhythm section is so tight. Then, when Josh Redmond solos over the top of this thing that is already so complex, I just absolutely love it. It gets me every time."

Backing flexibility to empower workplace talent
The promise of preserving an employee's seniority can be a powerful policy to retain talented women in law, the Australian of the Year has said.
According to former Chief of Army and 2016 Australian of the Year Lt. General David Morrison AO (Retd), policies that promise to preserve the seniority of talented staff when they take a break from work can bolster the retention of female talent in the workforce, especially among the top tiers of business.
"It takes a bit of bold thinking and the professional world obviously answers to a different set of circumstances [to the Army] – there's hours billed and there can be shareholders and so on but I would say that [policy] was one of the dramatic things that the Army did and it worked," Mr Morrison said.
The retired Chief of Army spoke to Lawyers Weekly about his views on what the 'captains of industry' could learn from his stewardship of sweeping gender-equality and workplace diversity change in the Australian Army.
"My strong sense is that you will attract talented people into an organisation with promises of remuneration, but you won't retain them unless they sense that they are part of the organisation, unless the organisation is investing in social capital," Mr Morrison said.
"Australian society is at a tipping point, and organisations like Gadens and others are recognising something has to be changed. Because for the long-term health of this firm, you need to have an inclusive workforce where diversity of thinking is actually the norm. That actually affects the corporate bottom line," he said.
The Australian of the Year was in Sydney speaking about workplace diversity at an event hosted by Gadens last week.
Firm partners Stephanie Nicol and Helen Ord co-chair the firm's Gadens Women Connect program. Both lawyers share the view that Gadens has a holistic approach to fostering talent in diversity.
"The firm has a number of measures in place and obviously we're always looking at other ways we can improve. Gadens has a Diversity Council that is charged with overseeing all of these initiatives and we all have various roles to play within the firm as well," Ms Nicol said.
"I think you need everybody on board to drive change, male and female, and that's an approach the firm has taken."
As an example of Gadens' efforts, Ms Nicol highlighted measures to prompt those nestled on the firm's top echelons to check their own unconscious bias.
"Gadens is making genuine, meaningful attempts to try and invest in diversity and inclusion. For example, at partnership level and senior leadership level we have all had to participate in training in unconscious bias, just to try and identify or bring to the forefront underlying biases people might have. This was done to understand and eradicate unconscious issues that could be relevant from a diversity perspective," she said.
According to Ms Ord, communicating a narrative that reflects the truth of diversity within the firm is also an important step towards meaningful change. On an individual level, that means women in the firm's leadership ranks must visibly demonstrate alternative work arrangements.
The Gadens partners and WomenConnect co-chairs both work flexibly in some form.
"Gadens supports working from home and role models are important," Ms Ord said.
"We are moving away from the perception that facetime equates to productivity. I get every scrap out of my day in terms of the use of technology and you can do everything you need to do to run your practice remotely. We can deliver work remotely, we can record time remotely," she said.
Gadens Womens Connect is an initiative of the firm's Diversity Council, whose organisational objectives target diversity issues as they apply for gender, flexibility, culture and LGBTI areas.

Deja Vu 2013: Likely False Flag Event has US Preparing for War with Syria; Proof Please!!• https://mishtalk.com, Mish
Had Hillary won the election war was certain. Last week, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson said that Mr. Assad's fate "will be decided by the Syrian people." That is exactly how it should be.
Unfortunately, Déjà Vu 2013 has arrived in yet another rush to judgment with absolutely no facts at hand.
The New York Times reports, Worst Chemical Attack in Years in Syria; U.S. Blames Assad.
One of the worst chemical bombings in Syria turned a northern rebel-held area into a toxic kill zone on Tuesday, inciting international outrage over the ever-increasing government impunity shown in the country's six-year war.

Electoral violence rocks Uganda
At least 16 people have been killed in protests in Uganada since the arrest of two leading opposition candidates in upcoming presidential elections. One of the detained candidates, the popular musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine, was accused of breaking COVID-19 restrictions at campaign rallies. Both he and fellow candidate Patrick Amuriat Oboi were detained while on their way to attend rallies. Four candidates, including two former military generals, have suspended their campaigns following the arrests. The military has been deployed to put down the protests in Kampala and other cities. Protesters are tearing down and burning campaign billboards of incumbent President Yoweri Museveni who has been in power since 1986, before the majority of Ugandans were born.

Norwalk man arrested for allegedly punching pregnant girlfriend in the ribs
NORWALK -- A Norwalk man was arrested Sunday for allegedly punching his pregnant girlfriend in the ribs during an argument, police said.
Benjamin Friedman, 20, of 3 Elmcrest Terrace, appeared for arraignment Monday at Norwalk Superior Court to face charges of third-degree assault on a pregnant victim, criminal violation of a protective order, disorderly conduct and first-degree failure to appear.
Superior Court Judge Maureen Dennis issued a protective order over the 31-year-old victim and ordered Friedman remain held on $20,000 bond due to the seriousness of the allegations.
Norwalk Police were alerted of the situation early Sunday morning after the victim called 911 from a friend's house to report that she was assaulted by her boyfriend during an argument at his apartment.
Police say Friedman, who is the father of the victim's unborn child, became enraged when she tried to break off their relationship. He then proceeded to punch her on the left side in the ribs, police said.
When the victim attempted to call the police, Friedman allegedly spit in her face and then spit on her again after she tried to leave the apartment, police said.
When police officers responded to the scene, they found that Friedman had already left the apartment.
Police advised the victim to call 911 if Friedman tried to contact her again, but when officers returned to his Elmcrest Terrace apartment Sunday afternoon, they found the woman inside her boyfriend's home. Friedman was taken into custody without incident.
He is due in back in court Nov. 16.
