It's never been more important for lenders to ensure that they're in pole position when it comes to property receivership.
What do I mean by this? In short, repossession cases must be as far advanced as possible to ensure that loans are recovered at the earliest opportunity once restrictions are fully lifted.
There are innumerable reasons why this is imperative…with the first anniversary of the outbreak of coronavirus crisis fast approaching, it's likely that some of the loans written during the first lockdown will be approaching expiry. Yet we continue to work through truly unprecedented times – and who's to say when they will conclude. When it comes to property receivership, the worst thing that could happen is for any form of reticence to set in. Lenders simply can't run the risk of issues surrounding liquidity arising.
The current situation
Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick announced on February 14, 2021, that there will be another extension to the ban on bailiff evictions as a result of the national lockdown restrictions. This ban, introduced at the start of the pandemic, has been extended for another six weeks from February 21 until March 31.
The government has also made clear that these measures will subsequently be "kept under review in line with the latest public health advice". Exemptions remain in place for the most serious circumstances.
This announcement will clearly have a direct impact on unregulated lenders' ability to enforce repossession orders, and the situation is much the same for lenders authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. In late January, the FCA confirmed that it was extending the period within which firms should not enforce repossessions for another three months from January 31 until April 1.
The FCA's approach took into account the worsening Covid-19 situation at that time and the government's tighter restrictions, which meant that borrowers could potentially experience significant harm if forced to move home during this period due to repossession proceedings.
What must happen next
While the ban on bailiff evictions has been extended, there still remains a great amount that can be done to ensure that default cases are consistently progressed as far as possible. Throughout the pandemic, CG&Co has consistently made certain that the interests of those lenders we work for are consistently as far advanced as possible.
We've entered into discussions with borrowers via web-based platforms or telephone calls and issued pre-action correspondence and possession proceedings online.
We've also collaborated actively with borrowers by seeking voluntary agreements for surrendering possession while simultaneously keeping them fully informed about the potential consequences of contested possession proceedings. These actions have borne the best possible outcomes for our clients throughout each of the lockdowns – and continue to do so.
To conclude…
At CG&Co, we remain determined that those lenders we work for will consistently be able to use their own funds to relend at rates that are most advantageous to them. It remains essential for default cases to be as far advanced as possible to ensure that evictions can be enforced at the earliest opportunity once the enforcement ban is lifted. We fully intend to continue adopting our highly proactive approach until the end of March – or for however long it takes. As far as CG&Co is concerned, nothing less than pole position for our clients will ever suffice.

During the winter, your heating unit is critical for comfort. Lack of maintenance and proper care of the heating unit can cause major trouble. The circuit breaker may be tripped, or there can be any other major issue if your heating unit overheats. As a result, the machine will be unable to satisfy your comfort requirements. It would be upsetting to arrive home and discover that your heating system is broken. When the heating system overheats, it will trip the circuit breaker until the underlying problem is resolved. Knowing the dangers of an overheated heat system, you may wonder what causes the issue.
The Following Are Some of The Reasons Why Your Heating Unit is Overheating:
- Filter is Clogged: Contaminants are kept out of your home, thanks to the filter. In the process, the filter accumulates a lot of dust, pet dander, and other debris, which might block it. When it becomes blocked, there will be insufficient ventilation throughout the system. Other components are required to work harder to keep your house pleasant due to insufficient ventilation. Your heating unit ultimately overheats as a result of the stress. Check your air filter regularly for any build-up and replace it if necessary. Call a professional for a heat pump repair in Orlando, FL, to replace your clogged filter.
- Filthy Fan Blades: Dirt may accumulate on the fan blades of your device over time. Like a clogged air filter, Dirty fan blades cause the engine to work extra hard to keep the fan spinning. As a result, the tension causes overheating. To avoid build-up, clean the fan blades regularly.
- Rusty or Loose Electrical Connections: Overheating can be caused by loose electrical connections in your heating system. Corroded wires cause overheating by causing a high or low voltage. Furthermore, old wiring generates a short circuit, which leads to overheating. Any electrical problem in the system is dangerous since it might cause a fire. You can inspect the electrical components of the heating system. Call HVAC companies in Orlando, FL. The professionals will double-check that everything is functioning to keep you safe at all times.
- A Deteriorating Heating System: Your heating unit, like any other machine, has a limited life period. Its performance may deteriorate as it nears the end of its useful life. Inevitably, the components that are already failing will have to work harder to keep your house pleasant, resulting in overheating. If the unit has reached the end of its useful life, consider replacing it to prevent becoming victims of the problem.
These are some of the probable causes of your heating equipment tripping your circuit breaker. While you can resolve some issues on your own, others may necessitate the services of a professional. For maintenance and repairs or even installation, contact (407) 743-7106 right now for outstanding service or visit ameritechfl.com. Their professionals will check all of the heating components to make sure they're in good operating order. The team of specialists will also inspect the wiring and any other issues.

The Aruba 310 Series consists of the Aruba AP314 and Aruba AP315 access points. Most of what is said here will apply to both models. The 310 series are high-end 802.11ac access points. They provide extremely fast gigabit speeds and superb, easy user experience for mobile devices and applications. Designed with an integrated HPE Smart Rate port to scale up to 5Gbps Ethernet, the 330 Series allows enterprises to leverage their multi-gigabit Ethernet wired network infrastructures to eliminate bottlenecks.
As with other Aruba APs, you can run the Aruba AP315 either controller-based, or controlerless (Instant) mode.
When deployed with an Aruba Mobility Controller, the Aruba AP315 offers centralized configuration, data encryption, and policy enforcement. It will also give you network services and distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
In controllerless (Instant) mode, the controller function is virtualized in a cluster of APs. As the network grows or requirements change, Instant deployments can easily migrate to controller-based mode.
Adaptive Radio Management
Importantly, the Aruba AP315 features ClientMatch, AppRF, Clarity and AirMatch. They ensure the 303H will have the best radio connection. At the same time, ARM provides control and visibility to the WLAN and applications dynamically. This is especially useful in changing environments.
The AP315 can automatically detect and classify 802.11ac Wave 2 mobile devices. This allows ClientMatch to automatically collect Wave 2 capable devices under a single radio so that performance benefits of multi-user MIMO can be realized. And without the adverse effects of slower 802.11ac and traditional 802.11n capable mobile devices. This means increased network capacity and a boost in network efficiency.
Aruba AP315 by the numbers
The Aruba AP315 has a concurrent data rate of 1.733 Gbps in the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. That's an aggregate peak data rate of 2 Gbps. The AP315, with its single gigabit Ethernet uplink, is ideal for device-dense environments like schools, retail branches, hotels and enterprise offices. The 802.11ac 310 Series supports 160 MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160), 4-stream multi-user MIMO and 4 spatial streams. They also provide simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices, maximizing data throughput and improving network efficiency.
Difference between the Aruba AP314 and the Aruba AP315
It's in the antennas. The AP314 has four RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas. Worst-case internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 0.6dB in 2.4 GHz and 1.2dB in 5 GHz. In case you were interested. So the antennas are external.
With the Aruba AP315, they are 4 integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO. They achieve peak antenna gain of 3.6dBi in 2.4 GHz and 6.0dBi in 5 GHz.
What we like about the Aruba AP315 access point
The Aruba AP315 has great, easy-to-use technology, and has great range! It's easy to set up multiple AP's, including guest access. There is no dedicated controller needed, although it is a snap to employ one, and they are excellent in their own right. Simply power up, plug it into your network, and connect.
Even if you are not familiar with Aruba products, they are easy to master quickly. And if you need to reconfigure, using Instant Mode makes configuration straightforward. Support gets consistently high marks, and the Airheads online community is top notch.
Initial config is a snap. And with the aforementioned ARM technology, you can automatically assign channel and power settings. You can also provide airtime fairness and ensure that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference. This will ensure reliable, high performance WLANs.
The Aruba AP315 access point is excellent for medium-to-enterprise companies. It is very well suited for organizations that require a large number of wireless access points and need simple intuitive management over them. And when it comes to Wi-Fi management, Aruba gives you the flexibility to choose. You can use an Instant access point or a controller to manage an entire cluster of access points. On the other hand, you can manage them with a cloud-based or an on-site network management platform.
Aruba also has plenty of switches to integrate with your access point for ease-of-access and peace of mind. The Aruba AP315 access point5 delivers superb user experience for medium-to-high density environments.
And Corporate Armor gives you uninterrupted 5-star service and years of specialization in Aruba's whole family of products. So call us at 877-449-0458, or email us with any and all questions. Thanks for reading!

A U.S.-based bottled water company will take start taking delivery of approximately 250,000 biodegradable preforms a week from Casey Container Corp., marking that company's first purchase order.
December 3, 2010
, marking that company's first purchase order. The preforms are injection molded from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the EcoPure organic additive, which reportedly renders the bottles biodegradable, and will be used for clear 18-20g water bottles, according to John Morrison VP messaging and communications at the Scottsdale, AZ-based firm.
Morrison told PlasticsToday that at this time the finished bottles will be sold into the domestic market, although there is some possibility for export for the bottling company, which at this time will remain unnamed.
Casey Container is an EcoPure licensee that injection molds biodegradable preforms from PET, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and other conventional polymers. The company believes prospects for biodegradable bottles are strong, citing an August 2010 report by The Freedonia Group U.S. that forecast demand for degradable products would increase 16.6% annually through 2014.
Casey Container's preform and bottle manufacturing plant is scheduled to come online in 2011, with the company stating it will have capacity to injection mold 35 million preforms once the plant is fully ramped up.
Ecopure is a specially designed additive that's mixed into plastics at low levels (0.7%, 1.0%, 1.5%) and "coats" a polymer's chains to make them attractive to microbes. The microbes can then release acid and move through the chains, feeding on their ends and allowing the material to biodegrade. The company claims to have more than 270 clients globally, with 163 of those in the U.S.
Casey Container, which is a publicly traded company, say that its preforms cost from $0.04 to $0.06 per preform than standard PET competitors, depending on volume.

The Upper House of Nepal's Parliament passed the constitutional amendment backing the New Map Amendment Bill(Coat of Arms) unanimously. All the 57 members of the upper house voted in favor of the bill. The New map amendment bill proposes the inclusion of three Indian territories into Nepal's updated map.
As per reports, on Sunday, Nepal's parliament had called for a discussion on the amendment bill that includes the Indian territories. On June 13, Nepal's lower house of parliament passed the amendment to include a new map including Indian areas of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, and Kalapani in the constitution of the country. The bill was supported by all the 258 lawmakers present there in the house.
As per latest reports, Nepal's President Bidhya Devi Bhandari has given her approval to the new bill, making it a part of Nepal's constitution.
#BREAKING: Presidential assent given to the new Nepal Amendment Bill (Coat of Arms) which shows strategically important Indian territories as part of Nepal. (New diplomatic standoff begins between India and Nepal. Oli has committed a big strategic blunder to be in power.) https://t.co/FNMw8tdZPf pic.twitter.com/ibOK2rxxFP
— Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) June 18, 2020
MEA India responded to the developments
The Ministry of External Affairs responded to the passing of the constitutional amendment bill in Nepal's Parliament to update the country's political map including the areas that come under India's territory. The Ministry said that artificial enlargement of the map is not based on historical facts, hence it is not tenable.
The MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said, "This artificial enlargement of claims is not based on historical facts or evidence and is not tenable. It is also violative of our current understanding to hold talks on the outstanding boundary issue."
Respnding to media questions over today's development, the MEA has stated that their stand remains the same.
The proposal came after Defence Minister inaugurated link road to Lipulekh
The KP Sharma Oli government in Nepal brought in the proposal to alter their map after the Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a link road on May 8 linking the Kailash Mansarovar route in Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand to Lipulekh.
The foreign ministry of Nepal had issued a press release voicing their protest against the move, claiming the link road passed through Nepali territory. However, India rejected the claims, saying "the link road lies completely within the territory of India".

Curious Minds
We like playing around with technology at Akiya & Inaka. For example, we:
- Film and edit inaka concerts and akiya tours to put on Youtube.
- Build websites using WordPress.
- Keep style guidelines in a living document on Confluence.
- Consolidate disparate listing information in giant, linked databases on Airtable.
- Accept ETH and BTC as payment for research services.
- And now, we've started playing with ERC-721 ecosystems, also known as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT).
This isn't a flex so much as it is a statement of intent. Akiya are in such a funny situation not because they're bad by their nature – we've proven that that isn't the case – but because accepted practice so often doesn't accommodate them. At the intersection of technology and akiya lies a real enticing suggestion: that if you use the tools available to you to change your perception, you can break open historically stagnant segments.
So… Cultural NFT?
Sure, A&I is a business so we appreciate money hitting our bank account, but as we've stated before, that's not our main focus. Instead, we seek to offer proof that meaningful development in erstwhile sleepy markets is possible. It just requires some ingenuity.
Given our history in blockchain and media, then, maybe it's not surprising that we've begun playing around with the NFT ecosystem. Specifically, on OpenSea.
It is, after all, explicitly made for putting media onto the Ethereum blockchain.
Our most recent endeavor in this direction is starting an NFT series documenting the sounds of dusk in Yugawara.
Yes, that's right: we put the natural soundtrack of inaka on the blockchain.
No Joke
Speaking seriously, though, there's an interesting argument to be made based on the assumption that NFT technology lives up to its promises.
There's a confounding problem of provenance in the digital media age which, boiled down, is concerned with truth. When was a piece of content created? How many edits? Who authored it? Where is the original copy kept? Metadata is still extremely porous and subject to tampering or, more often, neglect.
However, our hunch is that by sustainably placing digitized IRL cultural artifacts onto a blockchain, over a long enough period of time you would end up with an extremely accurate historical representation of the ecosystem in which those artifacts first occurred.
A Fascinating Proposition
The allure of the NFT is that it purports to solve this conundrum by placing media contents into the Ethereum blockchain, effectively locking in relevant metadata. Now, we're currently uploading raw field recordings, which might not seem like much. To be honest, we actually do think its kinda cool as a form of immutable cultural documentation, but that's not what we're after here.
By creating an NFT of unique Japanese assets, we're exploring use case with an eye on taking akiya on-chain. To whit, we suspect that the problems an NFT solves for entertaining media can easily be applied to technical media. Such as akiya listings, or transfer of property ownership documents.
NFT Use Case
To see what we mean, just take a look at our map of akiya banks across the Kanto plain. They are all garbage, but of various orders. None of them are synchronized, automated, or, often enough, even designed very well. The akiya market is a disaster, a travesty, in part because of the extremely disorganized management of it.
But – assuming that the NFT promise is true – imagine that each akiya listing was an NFT, a single source of truth that can be reliably updated and implemented by multiple actors over time. This is a very enticing proposition for us as it would break the market wide open in ways even we haven't yet imagined.
Cultural NFT Creation
The above statement is admittedly somewhat lofty, but we have others. Just as important as the technological use case is education. If you didn't know how to create an NFT, or didn't even know what one was, now you are aware. Awareness is, in our opinion, one of the best tools for setting the stage for new and positive developments.
Fortunately, this is not overly complex stuff. In fact, we'd like to see more people try it. Here're the steps we took:
- Bought a Zoom H6 Field Recorder and a bunch of 128GB microSD cards
- Got Audacity
- Acquired some ETH.
- Grabbed a hardware wallet.
- Installed Metamask to access Web3.0
- Connected our wallet to Metamask
- Created an OpenSea account
With the above completed, it's just a matter of turning our intent into action!
The above is how we went about starting on this adventure, but it is a Choose-Your-Own adventure. If you wanna get involved, do your own research on the matter and conduct yourself in the manner you see fit.

Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, UK
Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, UK
Fernand Léger once claimed to have tricked a cinema audience with an extreme close-up. The audience 'thought that they recognized a photograph of some planetary surface'. After they had spent some time discussing the image, the artist told them that it was in fact the thumbnail of the lady next to him, magnified 'a hundred times'. Imagery of objects enlarged to the point of defamiliarization is the basis for an exhibition of photography and film at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh. Nineteenth-century microscopy, camera-less film and photography, body-mapping (inside and out), Surrealism and Conceptualism make strange bedfellows, conjoined by the subject of close observation in science and art. 'Close-Up' makes rare connections between material, both contemporary and historical, identifying scientific or pseudo-scientific strategies at play in the formulation of imagery by artists in print and on screen.
The exhibition finds its locus in the early photographic and cinematic experiments of the avant-garde. Microphotography, botanical studies and 1920s' natural history documentaries are assimilated into the irreverent couplings made by Georges Bataille in the journal Documents (1929–30). Unlikely parallels are drawn with Bataille's project to declassify the content of naturalist photography and the more formal treatment of László Moholy-Nagy's Bauhaus publication Painting, Photography, Film (1925). Similarly, Moholy-Nagy's technical experiments with the raw materials of light and film are compared to Man Ray's Surrealist, automatic techniques for exposing photograms and footage for Le Retour à la raison (The Return to Reason, 1923) with 0objects placed directly on photographic paper or film.
Simon Starling's slide projection piece Inventar-Nr. 8573 (Man Ray), 4m-400nm (2006) cuts a path from fact to distortion. Eighty black and white slides record a process of photographing Ray's Geological Fold (c. 1930) at increasing magnification. Images showing the photograph in storage are succeeded by a microscopic exploration into the surface of the print. Context disappears as the investigation bores deeper, and the increasing abstraction runs counter to the effort to excavate information from the object.
Stan Brakhage's film Mothlight (1963), printed from fragments of dead moths and plants that the filmmaker fixed between Mylar editing tape, is traced within a popular tradition of scientific illustration. Brakhage's minute objects enlarged through cinematic projection are given a technical antecedent in slides from magic lantern displays. Similarly, details of the wings, petals and grasses find parity with the close photography of Albert Renger-Patzsch and Karl Blossfeldt, whose straight treatment of similar matter was heralded in 1920s' Germany as 'New Objectivity'. Other associations are made between Brakhage's film collage, Brassaï's photograph Papillon à la bougie (Butterfly and Candle, c. 1933) and the uncanny Death's Head Hawk Moth sequence in Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's film Un Chien andalou (An Andalusian Dog, 1929).
Attempts to describe strategies of defamiliarization in the camera's scrutiny of the human body prove less successful. The sticky intimacy of Mona Hatoum's video installation Testimony (1995–2002) and Carolee Schneemann's photographic Portrait Partials (1970) fail to be ambiguous within the wider proliferation of close-up imagery in circulation via television and the Internet. Presented alongside other works of a disrobed, corporeal nature, the subject matter loses its edge and nose-dives into an essay on the abject.
The highs and lows of 'Close-Up' are marks of its distinctly academic rigour and the background noise of specialist knowledge brought by its art-historian curators, Dawn Ades and Simon Baker. True to form, Léger's fingernail anecdote finds its way into one of the catalogue essays and resurfaces in a discussion of Mike Kelley's photographs of fluff, Untitled (Dust) (1994). Kelley's work shares its minute subject matter with a more compelling image by Ray, Dust Breeding (1920). Etched within the fleece of particles pictured in the photograph is a cryptic, geometric circuit of line and curve. The image was originally published in the Dada journal Littérature in 1922, described within the caption as 'the domain of Rrose Sélavy'. Ray's fantastic plane was later identified to be Marcel Duchamp's sculpture The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass) (1915–23) gathering dust in the artist's studio, an act of distortion that required not so much art as genuine neglect.
Ray's photograph is encoded with the double-bind of 'objective fact' and illusion that Léger and his contemporaries sought in cinema and its tools. The fingernail experiment was one of a number Léger conducted around the time that he was working on the film Ballet Mécanique (1924). The artist would gather local workers and people from the neighbourhood to test out the rushes so that the film could be edited to achieve the desired impact. By his own account, the audience left feeling angry that day, annoyed that they had fallen for his close-up trick. Léger could barely conceal his pride. He concluded that he had proved to them that 'the subject or the object is nothing; it's the effect that counts'.

2020 may be over, but there are still plenty of problems that keep us up at night. Will sending my kid back to school be safe? Why are there so many bills? Will my husband ever stop leaving half empty mugs around the house? It'll be 2 a.m. and I'll be simultaneously worried about what we have in the fridge for dinner tomorrow and something stupid I said in 8th grade. Friends will say, "Try tea," or "Have a bowl of cherries," or "Hello, wine?" and I've done it all — nothing works. (Well, the wine, yes, but then I wake up with a killer headache the next morning.) Enter the supplement that saved my sanity with some quality sleep: Proper.
What I love about Proper is that they offer a totally personalized sleep supplement experience — because everyone is different. The supplements are PhD-formulated and backed by medical doctors in sleep science, nutritional biochemistry, and integrative medicine. They're also made with 100% vegan, natural ingredients that are clinically proven to improve sleep without making you groggy. And I've actually learned more about my sleeping needs and habits by taking the Proper Discovery Pack, which includes five different formulations (Core Sleep, Sleep + Restore, Sleep + Calm, Sleep + Clarity, and Sleep + Immunity).
Here's how it works: You try five different supplements — each for for five nights — so you can test and see which formula works best for you. If you subscribe, you can even work one-to-one with a board-certified coach on a personalized sleep action plan (this alone is worth $65!).My sleep coach identified the everyday habits and behaviors that contributed to my poor sleep (Spoiler – the wine right before bed is a no-no). Once you've figured out which supplement does the job, you can then order a full-sized bottle. So, no more guessing and wasting money on stuff that doesn't work.
The Discovery experience is $35.99/month (the subscription price is 10% off the one-time purchase price of $39.99, *and* you get an extra 15% off through FamFare presented by Scary Mommy) and it's worth every penny I'd otherwise be spending on a bunch of bottles with pills and gummies that never seem to work. Ah, actual restful sleep. How I love thee.

As every young scout learns, it's always a good idea to be prepared. When it comes to ensuring safety and comfort in your home, there's a good chance that your heat pump has a backup plan, too. It's called the emergency heat switch, and it's an important feature to know.
What is emergency heat?
In some circumstances, such as extremely cold temperatures or damage to the HVAC unit, the heat pump will have difficulty drawing heat energy from the outside air to bring inside. When that happens, the heat pump can switch to a secondary stage heat source, which could be electric, natural gas, or hot-water backup system. This emergency heat (also called auxiliary heat) is intended to be used temporarily until the primary heating source can function or the equipment is fixed.
Pros and cons of emergency heat
In a perfect world, you would never need the emergency heat of your heat pump. Of course, we know life can be unpredictable, so this feature gives you peace of mind that your home will stay warm even in challenging circumstances.
Emergency heat is also easy to turn on. You should see a switch for "emergency" or "auxiliary" heat with most heat pumps. Just flip that switch and the system should turn to the secondary heat source. Just remember to flip the switch back off when you no longer need the emergency heat.
The downside to emergency heat is that it tends to use up more energy than the primary heat pump. So if you need to activate the emergency heat for any reason, you may see an increase in your next utility. Hopefully, you won't need this function very long, so the extra cost should be minimal.
Heat pump repair and maintenance in Evansville, IN
We hope it's comforting to know that your heat pump is prepared for anything. To make sure your heat pump is working correctly (including the emergency heat function), be sure to schedule regular maintenance and get a professional's opinion if a problem arises.
At Baylor Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we've been proudly serving the Evansville, IN, area since 1984. To schedule an appointment, call (812) 425-8435.

Sea Bass with Dill
Serves 1. Just double, triple, etc., to serve more.
Time requirement: 5-10 minutes prep and 25-30 minutes to cook.
What you will need.
1 whole black sea bass, head on, scaled and gutted. These fish will be about one pound each before they are gutted and scaled.
Dash of kosher salt.
1 lemon.
6 long fresh dill sprigs
1 garlic clove, peeled, and thinly sliced.
1 tablespoons olive oil.
Wash the fish under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Put a dash of salt in the fish cavity. Place the fish on a clean flat work surface. On each side make three deep incisions in the flesh – from the skin to the bone, on the diagonal.
Strip the dill fronds from the dill stalks and chop to render 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill.
Cut 3 thin slices from half of the lemon. Cut each slice in half. Reserve the remaining lemon half to roast with the fish.
Place some dill in each incision cut into the fish. Insert a piece of lemon into each incision. If the lemon piece is too large to insert, cut it down to fit. Finally place some lemon and dill in the cavity of the fish.
Choose a glass or ceramic oven-proof pan that can accommodate the fish with just a little extra room. Layer the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Scatter a little dill in the dish. Place the fish in the center of the pan. Scatter the sliced garlic atop the fish. Place the remaining lemon half in the dish. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish.
Preheat the oven. When the oven is 450 degrees F. Loosely cover the pan with foil and place in the oven Set a timer for 20 minutes. Then uncover the fish and cook an additional 5 minutes. At 25 minutes test for doneness. Remove from the oven. Place a fork in one of the incisions of the fish. If you can easily flake the flesh from the bone, the fish is done. If not cook continue to cook and test again in three-minute interval. If the fish is nearly done, remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes. The retained heat in the pan will finish the cooking.
Serve the fish on a warm serving plate with the roasted lemon half to squeeze over the fish.

Well, Penn alum Vin Marshall (ENG '00, WQHS) actually accomplished this on the new show he is hosting on the National Geographic Channel called "How Hard Can It Be?" and it premieres this Sunday October 2nd.
After the jump watch this AWESOME clip of a "bonafide flying house" from the show and find out what 2 other captivating episodes of his will also be airing this week!
And like many of our successful Penn alumni, it's all about perseverance:
"I'd been building big, weird, sort of giant toys and making videos about them for years. This was mostly while I was living in Fishtown. Last year, I took some of those projects up to the Maker Faire in NYC for PopSci's booth there. I met a number of TV producers while there who were interested in what I'd been up to – one in particular had all but sold this show to Nat Geo, lacking only hosts. I supplied that and a week later we were at Nat Geo's headquarters in DC.
This was, by the way, after years of trying and failing, for various reasons, to really make any headway toward a TV show – various sizzle reels, production companies, etc… Ultimately, a show where you attempt to do things like fly a rocket to over 50,000 feet – which required formal approval from all of the branches of the military – seems to be pretty difficult to make. It's over the head of most of the production companies I tried to deal with.
So, in short, a lot of hustling and getting nowhere combined with being in the right place at the right time. And stealing the show at the maker faire with a machine that made 30′ tall columns of fire didn't hurt either."
And it looks like he's not only making a house fly, but showing you his "Homemade Rocket" and "DIY Robo Sub" (see clips below)!
"This show is about my buddy Gocke and I taking on incredible challenges – like we used to do in our videos in Philly, but times 100. If this show gets picked up for a season, you'll get to watch us doing this stuff all year long. But we need everyone's support for this to happen – Nat Geo is only going to pick up the show if people watch these episodes and send positive feedback to the network. So help us to help you – because I know you all want to see us try to jump the grand canyon."
Come on Penn alumni and undergrads, be sure to watch the show this Sunday and email into the Nat Geo site so Vin can create some more cool shows!
Episode: Homemade Rocket
Sunday, October 2 at 9 PM EST/PST
Could an average joe send a rocket into space? The How Hard Can It Be? hosts, Vin, Paul and Eric, are about to find out. They've been building crazy machines and fabulous inventions together for years, but now their skills will literally be pushed to the limit. Using everyday materials and knowhow that anyone could acquire they'll attempt to launch a homemade rocket into the atmosphere.
Episode: DIY Robo-Sub
Wednesday, October 5 at 8 PM EST/PST
Is it possible to build a homemade remote-controlled submersible that can withstand the terrifying pressures found at 12,000 feet down? Vin, Paul and Eric, are three "do it your-selfers" who are going to find out. After a series of intense experiments and a visit to DOER (Deep Ocean Exploration and Research) they head to Hawaii to test their sub. Despite the loss of vital equipment to the ocean depths they get footage of a man-eating tiger shark, and glimpses of deep sea creatures.
Speaking of Nat Geo, remember this Penn alum who was featured there as well?

text: Cold and flu season is among us! Despite my preventative efforts to avoid it, I have been sick for part of this week. While nursing myself back to health with plenty of rest, chicken noodle soup, and orange juice, the importance of self-care came to mind. Taking care of yourself is important, physically and otherwise, to your health. Yet practicing self-care doesn't always come easy. With busy schedules, family obligations, and work expectations, there can be a lot of pressure to rush along instead of putting these things aside at times to put yourself first. Doing so will reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and enhance your relationships. Women especially seem to suffer from believing that this makes them selfish and end up feeling guilty for taking time for self-care. I'm no exception to this, as I found myself ignoring my cold symptoms by trying to toughen up and push myself to go to my office. Ultimately, I decided against this, realizing that I am no help to my clients when I am not well. This reminds me of the air mask instructions they give on airplanes..."make sure your mask is secured first before assisting other passengers or children". When you're feeling under the weather, and even when you're healthy...don't neglect or overlook the importance of YOU!

GENEVA — "A vile slanderer seeking to earn filthy capitalist lucre by besmirching the homeland that nurtured him."
The China People's Daily, perhaps, on Friday's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony for jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo?
No. Moscow's Sovietskaya Rossia in 1970 on writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn who won the Nobel Literature Prize that year for works deemed anti-Soviet by the Kremlin.
"A hermit isolated from the people, wallowing in his own moral degradation."
That was the official Soviet Writers' Union in 1958 on Boris Pasternak, a poet and novelist who had just won the Nobel prize for his saga of the Revolution, "Doctor Zhivago."
"A self-important nonentity whose scribblings and pronouncements on political matters show nothing but a wish to please his masters in the West."
These were Moscow Radio's comments at the time on previously honored physicist-turned-human rights campaigner Andrei Sakharov who in 1975 was named — like Liu this year — Nobel peace laureate.
Soviet officials were as vitriolic about the Nobel committees, the Peace one in Oslo and its Literature counterpart in Stockholm, as the Chinese who have denounced the award to Liu as "an obscenity." "A bunch of Cold Warriors determined to besmirch our peace-loving country," was the standard epithet recycled in only varying form at the time of each award.
Neither Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn nor Sakharov, like Liu, could go to pick up their prizes in person — at the time.
Pasternak died in Moscow in 1960, a broken man after being forced to decline the award. Solzhenitsyn was hounded, isolated, and then expelled from the Soviet Union in 1974 when his labor camp study, "The Gulag Archipelago," was published in the West.
Sakharov, pushing on with his human rights work, was stripped of all his scientific and state awards, then arrested in 1980 and sent into exile for five years in Gorky, now Nizhny Novgorod. Liu for his part has been jailed for 11 years on subversion charges.
But in what could provide a grain of comfort for Liu — a former literature professor and author, like Sakharov, of a manifesto for greater democracy — times changed and their country revised its view of the three Soviet prizewinners. "Doctor Zhivago" was published in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s under President Mikhail Gorbachev, and Pasternak has long been restored to the official pantheon of great Russian writers. Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader in 1958 who authorized the campaign against him, repented after his enforced retirement in 1964, writing in his secret memoirs that he had been misled. Khrushchev's reminiscences have also appeared in Moscow.
Solzhenitsyn, who lived for two decades in the United States, saw his long-banned books become best sellers in the Soviet Union under Gorbachev in the late 1980s and in Russia after communism collapsed in 1991. In 1990, his Soviet citizenship was restored, and in 1994 he returned in triumph to Moscow to a warm official welcome. In 2007, a year before his death, he was awarded a state prize for humanitarian work by then-President Vladimir Putin.
Gorbachev was also instrumental in the rehabilitation of Sakharov. Soon after becoming Kremlin chief in 1985, he personally telephoned the physicist in Gorky and told him he could come home. All his awards and his status in the Academy of Sciences were restored, and on occasion Gorbachev quietly sought his advice on social policies.
In 1989, he was elected to the new Congress of People's Deputies, which replaced the old rubber-stamp Supreme Soviet, and immediately made his mark with feisty speeches. But he died from a heart attack at the end of the year.
Today, museums, streets and squares across Russia bear his name, and St. Petersburg has a Sakharov monument.
The age of the Internet means that Gorky-style isolation for dissidents and their supporters may be more difficult for Chinese authorities to enforce.
But for Liu, whose absence at the ceremony will be symbolized by an empty chair, hope may have its bounds.
Beijing is following an avowedly different approach to reform than the Soviet Union did. While promoting economic change, it eschews Gorbachev's political liberalization that ended ultimately in the Soviet collapse.
Official Beijing's reaction to Liu's peace prize, worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.46 million) alongside the medal and diploma, suggests little change to this approach for now. "An obscenity." "We will not change because of some wind blowing the grass, because of the interference of some clowns."

Can a closing be delayed due to a hurricane or tropical storm?The short answer is, yes.
Should a delay occur, knowing what your clients legal rights and obligations are can help ease the stress on all involved. Occasional closing disruptions caused by tropical storms and hurricanes include:
Most Florida residential real estate contracts provide relief for these issues, including an automatic extension of 5 - 7 days if a "casualty" (e.g. fire, flood, extreme weather, or force majeure) prevents the buyer from obtaining insurance on the property at a reasonable rate or causes "services essential for closing" to be unavailable. If the disruption continues 30 days after the "casualty", either buyer or seller may terminate the contract. A FARBAR Sales Contract-As Is (Residential Improved Property) form grants the exception only when the buyer is unable to get insurance due to extreme weather. Once a hurricane or storm enters a certain proximity to the area, there might be a pause on issuing an insurance policy for a loan. If there is no insurance, a loan can't close. Most willing buyers and sellers usually agree to delay a closing rather than starting all over again. If this content is helpful please share with clients and friends.

Swagelok Welcomes Ohio Department of Veterans Services
Swagelok Welcomes Ohio Department of Veterans Services to Global Headquarters
Solon, Ohio (October 4, 2022) — Leaders and associates involved in Swagelok Company's efforts to recruit and hire U.S. armed services veterans welcomed representatives of the Ohio Department of Veteran Services (ODVS) and the office of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to the company's global headquarters and innovation center on Tuesday, September 27.
The visit included a tour of the company's shop floor and a presentation on how Swagelok has tapped into the unique skills of veteran associates and new hires—both historically since the company's founding 75 years ago and through an associate resource group dedicated to veterans that was established by a team of associates in 2017.
Swagelok's Veteran and Military Resource Group supports outreach to hundreds of veterans in and around the Greater Cleveland community. Its members from across the Swagelok organization support veteran programs and organizations through volunteer hours, donations, fundraising, and mentoring.
Major General (U.S. Army, retired) Deborah Ashenhurst, director of the ODVS, commented, "We had a terrific visit at Swagelok today. I can't imagine a better way to spend my time. Swagelok sets the standard on how to right-hire and retain veterans in Ohio."
Veteran Outreach and Support Efforts
Swagelok has been an approved U.S Department of Defense SkillBridge partner since 2021. The program provides fellowship opportunities for all ranks and branches of the active-duty military during the last few months of their commitments, prior to separation.
"The majority of our program participants have taken on full-time permanent roles with Swagelok," noted Hannah Delis, chief human resources officer, Swagelok Company. "Since we launched the program last year, 10 fellows have participated and at least five more will start their fellowships this fall."
Swagelok employs more than a dozen actively serving Guard members and Reservists. Associates from Swagelok—many of them veterans—are also serving or leading efforts for other veteran-focused organizations, including the United Service Organizations (USO) and Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana.
Explore Careers at Swagelok
Interested active military members who are transitioning to the civilian workforce are invited to find more information at the Swagelok SkillBridge website or email firstname.lastname@example.com with specific questions. Veterans interested in networking and general career opportunities may inquire at email@example.com or visit jobs.swagelok.com.

Today, we celebrate with the majority of Americans and the world that the United States is again assuming its leadership responsibility to address the climate crisis. As the premier medical journal The Lancet states, "Climate change is the greatest global health threat facing the world in the 21st century, but it is also the greatest opportunity to redefine the social and environmental determinants of health." At the Evangelical Environmental Network, we couldn't agree more.
Extreme weather, fossil fuel pollution, increased vector-borne diseases, and food and water scarcity fueled by climate change threaten every child of God, both here in the United States and throughout the farthest corners of the world. Yet with the Senate's passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the hope for a quick passage in the House of Representatives, the United States is now decisively moving the most transformative piece of climate and clean energy legislation in American history. While the IRA is not a silver bullet, it is a giant leap forward for humanity and for all God's creation.
The Inflation Reduction Act provides $369 billion to act on climate, secure a clean energy future, and make clean energy more accessible to all Americans through tax credits and other provisions. These investments will reduce inflation, lower household and business energy bills (Figure 1), reduce the federal deficit by nearly $2 trillion over two decades (Figure 2), all while achieving an estimated 35-42% reduction in greenhouse gasses by 2030 (Figure 3). The IRA not only means cleaner air and a safer climate for our children and communities as it kickstarts the transition to a lower carbon economy, it also advances the overall wellbeing of American households by keeping taxes on middle- and lower-income families the same while delivering significant health care benefits and lowering costs. The IRA also stands to revitalize our communities by jumpstarting American manufacturing and creating as many as 9 million new family-sustaining jobs over the next decade (Figure 4).
The Inflation Reduction Act, the previously passed bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the recently passed bipartisan Chips and Science Act are a dynamic trio that will propel American energy and job creation into the next century. Together, these policies set the stage for every community across America to thrive in the 21st century -- from urban cities and former fossil fuel towns to America's abundant rural and farming communities. With these bills, there is hope for a bright and healthy future that we can be proud to pass down to our children and grandchildren where every American can experience abundant life. A future free from the air pollution that cuts short lives and damages the lungs, hearts, and brains of our children and the most vulnerable. A future of reinvestment in frontline communities forced to endure redlining and other racist policies. A future of hope for coal mining communities who subsidized America's addiction to fossil fuels with their health and their very lives.
The IRA, however, must be only the beginning; we need to do much more. We celebrate this historic start and thank President Biden for his leadership as well as Majority Leader Schumer and Senators Manchin, Wyden, Carper, Stabenow, Hickenlooper, and Coons, their staff, and everyone who has worked to bring our country to this point. EEN will continue to work to do even more to secure a safe and healthy future for our children and for God's creation.

Working from home is one of many ways that the pandemic has changed our lives. What do you wear when your workplace and home are virtually the same? Let's talk about what to wear when you work from home.
Must Read: printed t shirt in fashion
Do I need to dress up for work at home?
You can dress up for work from home, the short answer being yes. You don't have to worry about what you wear to work from home. Your bed is only steps away so it's possible to stay in your pajamas throughout the day. While this works well for many, and we love it, there are other factors that could change your mind about wearing your pajamas all day.
1. An employer might suggest a specific dress code
We are often in virtual meetings, even though we might not be at work. Employers may suggest that you wear business casual or business attire similar to what you are used to in the workplace. Although it is your decision to decide what to wear when working remotely, you may find this advice helpful.
2. Routine is essential
Our morning routines mentally prepare us for the day, regardless of whether we are aware of it. Although the clothes we wear to work from home won't change our outlook, dressing up every day can help us keep our head above water, maintain our normality, improve our mood, and ultimately, increase our productivity.
Never Miss: everything you need to know about traveling on a budget
3. Limits
The pandemic has seen a spike in desk sales. To be able to differentiate work areas from relaxation areas, people want dedicated spaces. This is also true for style. The decision of what to wear to work from home establishes a clear line between personal and professional life.
4. Time-saver
Emails and video calls are a common tool in virtual workplaces. We mean that they can fuel our work lives. They can be overwhelming, last-minute, and can lead to unpredictable schedules. It can be easier to jump from video calls and emails without having to spend extra time getting ready in the morning, which will save you time and effort for more important tasks like preparing lunch.

What can I wear to work in casual and cozy styles?
While there are many reasons to dress up for work, it doesn't mean that you should sacrifice comfort. It's equally valid to keep it casual and comfortable while working from home. It's an individual choice. Here are some reasons why you should wear leisurewear when working from home.
1. Because we can
Who wouldn't love to be able to work comfortably all day? Look for the silver lining in every situation and take it. This casual style of working from home can improve your productivity.
2. Ultimate time-saver
We said dressing up can save time, but dressing down could also help you save time at the start of the day. You can save time by keeping it casual and cozy, or for more sleep.

3. Stress-reliever
Comfortable measures are essential in stressful times. It's not an exaggeration to say that we have had a lot of stress in recent months. A simple act such as wearing our favorite hoodie can greatly improve our relaxation. Sometimes, grace can be found in keeping things casual and comfortable while keeping your work priorities at the forefront.

We've been following here at the blog the fascinating debates in the U.S. surrounding the proposed Employee Free Choice Act, a labor law reform bill that is supported by President Obama.
You will recall that the two main features of the law would be (1) a move to a "card-check" method of determining if a majority of workers support unionization, and (2) the introduction of a process for mandatory first contract arbitration if the parties are unable to reach a first collective agreement themselves after the union is certified to represent the workers.
While the debates continue in the U.S., the opposition of a few Democrats to the law seems to have killed its chances of being accepted in Congress. It is hardly suprising that American employers went berserk at the prospects of a law that would make union organizing easier. Nothing scares the crap out of employers like the threat of a union (which, by the way, is why I have proposed elsewhere that the state harness that threat to encourage greater compliance with employment-related statutes).
But what I find very interesting about the American labor law reform debates is the complete polarization of economists into two distinct camps.
One group of economists that included big-whig classical law and economics gurus Richard Posner, Gary Becker, and Richard Epstein (here a podcast of Epstein and his take on the EFCA here) argued that the EFCA would destroy the American economy. Here's a story about a "survey" of economists conducted by an anti-union lobby group apparently showing economists oppose the EFCA.
Another group of leading economists argued the complete opposite, that the EFCA was necessary to save the American economy. This latter group included many heavy hitters, including Nobel Prize winners Joseph Stiglitz (former Chief Economist of the World Bank) and Robert Solow.
What can explain the gaping difference of opinion among leading economists who, after all, are supposed to speak the same language and use the same analytical tools when analyzing labour markets?
I'm just a lowly lawyer, and economists have always confused me, so don't ask me to explain. Although, I think there is some strong hints of the answer in Joseph Stiglitz's writings. See, for example, "Employment, Social Justice, and Societal Well-Being". Stiglitz argues that the economists in the Posner, Becker, Epstein camp have bound themselves to assumptions about how labor markets work that have no application to the real world.
Contrary to the classical economic models those economists rely on, in the real world, workers do not have near full information to make rational decisions, workers are not mobile, workers and employers do not make rationale choices driven by self-interest, and so on. Once you strip away the assumptions of the classical economic model, you are left with a model that has little predictive or prescriptive value for policy-makers.
Fascinating debates. Of course, what we can take from this fight among the economists is that economics can provide no answer to labour law debates. Economists can be found to back up any argument you want to put forward about whether unions and collective bargaining are good or bad. Just change your assumptions, alter your methodology, and "poof", you have new "evidence" in support of whatever policy you like.
Is this an unfair assessment of economics contribution to labour law?

Church History Forum: the Immaculate Conception
the Immulate Conception QUESTION from dr theadore August 22, 2001 Am i right to assume that because of Marys special relationship with God the Father and been chosen to bring the Saviour into this world that she was without sin conceived as a spotless maid and why do Old Catholics reject this Dogma?
ANSWER by Q & A Staff on August 25, 2001 Dear Dr. Theadore,
Mary was chosen by God from the beginning of time to be the Mother of the Saviour. As the ark of the Old Testament was a sacred vessel, so much more must the ark of the New Covenant be, as she was to carry for nine months the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Please see, for example, Catholic answers: Immaculate Conception and Catholic Encyclopedia: Immaculate Conception for more information on this dogma.
Regarding your question as to why the Old Catholics reject this dogma: the reason for this is that the dogma was defined infallibly by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1854. Old Catholics, who were formed by the dissident Joseph Dollinger after the First Vatican Council (1869-70) do not accept the dogma of papal infallibility.
As a group, the Old Catholics were far more numerous in the couple of years after Vatican Council I, but then went into rapid decline.
As a matter of fact, the Old Catholics, who number only a few thousand adherents, are something of an illogical group. On the one hand, they claim to recognize the Pope as the successor of Peter (though rejecting his infallible magisterium) yet at the same time they reject the dogmatic definition of an Ecumenical Council (namely, Vatican I). So, on the one hand, they reject the authority of an ecumenical Council under papal authority (as shown by their rejection of the Dogma of Papal Infallibility) and at the same time they reject the dogmatic teaching action of the Pope when he acts alone. So they in effect have no binding authority.
An example of their illogical standpoint is the fact that they waited till 1870 to reject the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, even though this dogma was defined in 1854! However, they claim to reject this dogma today because they reject Papal infallibility (defined in 1870). So why then did they not reject the dogma for the first sixteen years? They are placed in an untenable position by this standpoint.
I hope this answer is of help to you in your discussions.
Thanks Cornelius.
God bless,

What I took from it was that According to Grantham1. We are not in a Bubble.... yet.2. His read on the economy is that a bubble starts at a S&P level of 22503. A bubble is coming for a variety of reasons, (deal making, cheap debt, and high profit margins among them)
What I find interesting about Grantham is his focus on the extreme long-run. I get the sense that he thinks about time periods on the order of 20 or 30 years.
And maybe the most recent MMM posting will help with this? Nah, doubt it.
Quote from: Eric on August 21, 2014, 01:21:38 PMAnd maybe the most recent MMM posting will help with this? Nah, doubt it.Probably not, but at least now we can directly point to the scripture we have received from the Mustache on high, and move to cast out any heretics who disobey!

Strong Sitting
So many children have been caught up in the busy-ness and chaos of life that they no longer know how to find their internal power and internal voice. Some experts warn that our society may be over-encouraging the development of quick responses and mental multi-tasking in young people at the expense of equally valuable life skills: planning, thinking things through, and predicting the consequences of actions (Bloom, Floyd). The children's brain development is not yet mature enough to offer much help in setting priorities or in weighing that it may not be possible to do all these things.
Strong sitting is a tool in the form of exercise developed by therapeutic foster parent Nancy Thomas of Colorado. It is a time to allow refocusing, a shifting of gears, a time allowed to go to the "think within spot". This time can be used to rethink one's actions, set goals, meditate, plan, pray, develop new ways of behavior, or just to "float" in one's head. It is a time set aside to teach and encourage the child to learn to quiet themselves, sit with themselves, and calm themselves.
To do strong sitting, the child sits cross-legged, back straight, with hands resting comfortably on his knees. The arms will be relaxed, the neck straight with the head facing forward. The back must be held straight to allow air to flow to the brain most freely. He faces a blank wall. Nothing should be moving and the child should not be talking. The parent will begin timing the strong sitting after the child is still. We work towards one minute per year of age and double this if the child has Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder. Yes, children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are very able to do this and in fact, benefit greatly from learning the skill and discipline of this exercise.
The parent sets up asking the child to do the strong sitting and also when the child is done with it. Although it can appear to be similar to a time out, it is much more active in what it sets up for the child. It is not used as punitive, although getting to the point where they will do strong sitting when asked may take some intervention on the parent's part. The exercise can be used as an intervention in disruptive behavior. The quiet sitting is time that allows the child to come up with the appropriate responses without parental suggestions.
Once this skill is learned, it can be implemented in many ways to enhance the child's well-being. It will help the child to develop strategies for better coping mechanisms, teach children to visualize themselves being successful at a task coming up, allow time to re-think certain actions, permit time to back away from chaos and regroup, and enable the child to draw on internal strength and energy.
We have taught children as young as three years old to do strong sitting and implemented it all the way up through the teenage years. I usually sit with the child in therapy to teach them how to do it while the parent watches. Very often when we are done with just a few minutes, the child states that it really felt good. Our children need to learn to just "be" more. Consider shutting off the T.V.s , game boys, and X-Boxes or at the very least, limiting them. These are very stimulating, not interactive with people, and not good for brain development. Give the child a coping mechanism and a lifelong gift that can teach him how to be with himself, be calm, and "think within".

Women wage peace at Kennedy School:
Colloquium draws women from around the world
Women from conflict-ravaged nations around the world gathered at the Kennedy School of Government last week for a colloquium focused on how to empower women worldwide to work for peace.
The fourth annual Women Waging Peace Colloquium, sponsored by the Women and Public Policy Program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, brought 35 women from Afghanistan, Iraq, Northern Ireland, Colombia, South Africa, Kosovo, Rwanda, and many other nations in the midst of war, internal strife, or rebuilding from conflict.
The weeklong colloquium, which ran from Nov. 2 to Nov. 8, featured sessions on everything from articulating a message to gender issues and negotiation to policy workshops. The program's last day featured a plenary session in the Kennedy School's ARCO Forum. The session included a keynote address by Jayantha Dhanapala, the United Nations' undersecretary general for disarmament affairs, and a panel discussion featuring women from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Philippines, and Kosovo.
Kennedy School Academic Dean Stephen Walt welcomed the delegates to the plenary session, saying that women's influence on global affairs has yet to be completely felt.
"Many of you have courageously chosen to work for peace from the ground up," Walt said. "The contribution women can make to global security has yet to be fully realized."
Swanee Hunt, director of the Women and Public Policy Program and founder of Women Waging Peace, introduced the session, saying that while serving as ambassador to Austria in the mid-1990s she realized she hadn't done enough to stop the tragedy in the Balkans. It was that realization, she said, that made her begin to look for ways to change how crises are handled.
"The number of conflicts, displaced people, and deaths are not diminishing," Hunt said. "The paradigm has to be changed. That's why you're here."
Dhanapala said that humanity has a big stake in promoting gender equality and disarmament. He cited the resources used in arms buildups as funds that could be diverted to more constructive uses. He said protests by women played an important role in ending atmospheric nuclear testing after contaminants began showing up in breast milk. That showed the potential for women to influence continued efforts at disarmament.
"When women move forward and disarmament moves forward, the world moves forward," Dhanapala said.
During the panel discussion that followed Dhanapala's speech, Faida Mitifu, ambassador to the United States from the Democratic Republic of Congo; Amina Rasul-Bernardo, founder of Magbassa Kita Foundation Inc. and president emeritus of the Muslim Professional Business Women's Association of the Philippines; and Vjosa Dobruna, from Kosovo, now a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, shared their experiences.
Mitifu told of the sexism she experienced from the start and how when flying to the United States to take her new post the airliner crew assumed a man seated near her was the new ambassador. Dobruna told of working to get women representation in Kosovo's new government. And Rasul-Bernardo told of having to manage difficult people from international organizations seeking to help Philippine youth.
"My mother told me that if you want something, to be relentless. Things are difficult and it's 99 percent perspiration, 1 percent inspiration," Rasul-Bernardo said. "She also said you catch more bees with honey than with vinegar."
Joining the three was Donald Steinberg, principal deputy director of policy planning at the U.S. State Department. Steinberg told the audience that they shouldn't assume government officials know what's going on and that it is part of the mission of U.S. diplomats to further women's rights. He said they should be held to that.
Hunt closed the session, saying that change is slow, but with the efforts like those of the women who attended the colloquium, it will happen.
"Movements don't happen in a year or two years or four years," Hunt said. "They happen gradually with thousands of moving parts and conversations and documents and defeats. The first time you say something, they may not hear you, or the third time or the 30th. But that 31st time, they will hear you."
