Old RS back to work (parade season)
March 11, 2017 in Odds and Ends
Went and did the first two parades of the season today St. Patricks day in Dundee IL and Saint Charles IL surprised by the crowds since I don't think it got up to 30 degrees today.
We are having a 54th year St. Patrick Day in Erin, Tennessee all next week. I been attending for several years now , enjoying it each time , making it a tradition. Me and the g/f will be going Saturday morning before the parade starts at noon. We stay watching kids ride the Carnival rides and take in the good foods. If I can get my camera to download photos I will share them.
Being with the amvets we usually are in the front of the parade this one we were number 83 being there for the first time. I did one earlier in the day we were number four which is nice after I go through the route we pull over and watch the rest of the parade.
Thought st Patrick's day was the 17th

Penn Medicine and Wistar Awarded $11.7 Million Melanoma Research Grant from the National Cancer Institute
PHILADELPHIA — Penn Medicine and The Wistar Institute have been awarded a prestigious $11.7 million Specialized Programs of Research Excellence, or SPORE, grant from the National Cancer Institute. The five-year award will fund three new melanoma research projects that translate fundamental laboratory discoveries made in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and The Wistar Institute into new therapeutics to treat skins cancers.
The grant also includes a career enhancement program focused on training and retaining underrepresented minorities in skin cancer research, and a pilot award program that will expand research into non-melanoma skin cancer.
The SPORE team at Penn and Wistar will carry on a long tradition of developing new treatments for skin cancer with the grant, which follows a previous SPORE grant awarded to the institutions in 2014. With extensive support from the Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) and the Tara Miller Melanoma Research Center, the team developed new expertise and resources, including a tissue specimen core with more than 11,000 banked specimens, that helped secure the new SPORE grant.
Ravi K. Amaravadi, MD, an associate professor of Hematology-Oncology in Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine and the co-leader of the Cancer Therapeutics Program in the ACC, and Meenhard Herlyn, DVM, DSc, director of Wistar’s Melanoma Research Center and professor in the Molecular & Cellular Oncogenesis Program in Wistar’s Cancer Center, will serve as the co-directors of the SPORE.
“Our longstanding team approach to science and new therapies has been recognized by the NCI once again with this new SPORE grant. We can now expand on this collaboration—which has already led to important developments in melanoma,” Amaravadi said. “From new fundamental insights about how skin cancer escapes treatments to new treatment options for patients, these projects—and the people leading them—are at the cutting edge of translational medicine, and are entirely focused on improving the health of our patients.”
“Despite dramatic improvement brought about by immunotherapy, we still have major challenges for the majority of patients and new approaches are urgently needed,” Herlyn said. “Building on major breakthroughs by our team, we are poised to address crucial unanswered questions to improve immunotherapy response and identify new biomarkers to inform patient management and reduce therapy toxicity.”
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and the fifth deadliest form of cancer, overall. According to NCI statistics, more than 100,000 new cases of melanoma will occur in 2021 in the U.S. alone. The incidence of melanoma and other skin cancers, such as Merkel cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are rising both nationally and regionally. If caught early, skin cancer is considered treatable; however, when these cancers metastasize, they are especially deadly.
Other Penn faculty involved with the project include Wei Guo, PhD, the Class of 1965 Endowed Term Chair in Biology, Xiaowei Xu, MD, PhD, a professor of Pathology and Dermatology, Phyllis Gimotty, PhD, a professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Giorgos Karakousis, MD, an associate professor of Surgery, Gregory Beatty, MD, PhD, an associate professor of Medicine, Tara Mitchell, MD, an associate professor of Medicine, Lynn Schuchter, MD, chief of Hematology-Oncology and director of the Tara Miller Melanoma Center, and E. John Wherry, Chair of the department of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics.
Other Wistar faculty on the team include professor David W. Speicher, Ph.D., associate professor Jessie Villanueva, Ph.D., and assistant professor Andrew Kossenkov, Ph.D., from The Wistar Institute Cancer Center.
The three main SPORE melanoma research projects include:
Project 1: Exosomal PD-L1 in immunotherapy resistance
Co-Project Leaders: Guo, Xu, Mitchell, and Wherry
Currently, there is no approved assay that can help determine which melanoma patients will respond to immunotherapy. This project builds on a fundamental discovery that small segments of lipid-encapsulated vesicles released from cells called exosomes that carry PD-L1 on their surface are floating circulating in the blood of melanoma patients. Exosomal PD-L1 is an immunosuppressive factor, and can be measured in the blood noninvasively with assay developed by Guo and Xu. Working with collaborators at the John Wayne Cancer Institute, MD Anderson Cancer Center and New York University, the team will conduct rigorous clinical utility studies designed to demonstrate this blood-based measurement as a highly sensitive and specific predictive biomarker for response to immunotherapy in melanoma.
Project 2: Targeting autophagy to improve immunotherapy in melanoma
Co-Project Leaders: Amaravadi and Speicher
There are limited options for patients whose tumors have progressed on immunotherapy in melanoma. Based on extensive preclinical data and a new molecular target in the autophagy pathway, the team has developed a clinical trial of combined immunotherapy and autophagy inhibition. Targeting autophagy during immunotherapy can reprogram cells within the tumor to enhance the efficacy of T cell killing of melanoma cells. This clinical trial will include a novel PET imaging tracer that can track T cells as they enter the tumors in patients. The project also works with several biotech companies developing new autophagy inhibitors for cancer.
Project 3: Neoadjuvant immunotherapy for early-stage melanoma
Co-Project Leaders: Beatty, Karakousis, and Herlyn
Currently, patients with stage III melanoma are treated with immunotherapy after surgical resection. Some stage II melanoma patients have a higher risk of metastasis than stage III patients, but there is no approved therapy to reduce this risk. Based on previous work showing that one cycle of immunotherapy given before surgery can produce major benefits in stage III melanoma patients, the team has launched a clinical trial of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in stage IIB/C melanoma patients. Besides in-depth characterization of the immune response, the project’s preclinical studies, which include several innovative mouse models to study immunotherapy in stage II melanoma, will lead to new strategies for enhancing the immune stimulatory capacity of dendritic cells in the tumor microenvironment.

Nichi Glucan progresses to clinical studies in autism spectrum disorder
28 June 2021 | Opinion
Journey of a safe food supplement from Japan since 1996
Beneficial effects in autism spectrum disorders of the Japanese food supplement Nichi-Glucan (www.nichiglucan.com), a biological response modifier beta glucan produce of novel strains of a black yeast Aureobasidium Pullulans have been observed by neurologists who conducted a pilot clinical study. The recent publication on the potentials of the beta glucans in alleviating ill effects of neuro-inflammation caused by Covid-19 triggered coagulopathy, its complications such as stroke and intracranial hemorrhage in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences (doi: 10.1016/j.jns.2021.117554) have attracted neurologists and psychiatrists to undertake clinical studies on the various conditions caused by neuroinflammation because beta glucans have been reported to rejuvenate the Glial cells which are responsible for clearing the post-neural damage debris that cause the psychological or neurological implications, especially in post Covid sequalae, which is termed as ‘long Covid’.
According to Dr Raghavan, a developmental pediatrician who undertook studies of Nichi Glucan in kids with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), is of the opinion that the prebiotic effects of Nichi glucan play a vital role in improving the general health of these kids and he adds that being a food supplement with 25 years track record of safety, produced in a GMP certified facility is what comes to his mind first, when he recommends the Nichi Glucan for consumption. The feedback obtained from regular consumers in Japan reveals that relief from constipation is one of the major advantages of this nutritional supplement.
GN Corporation (GNC), the global exporter jointly with the manufacturer, Sophy Inc are researching on targeted applications of novel strains such as the N-163 produced Nichi Glucan-REFIX in specific health conditions by immune modulation which may have potentials to prevent and manage non-communicable diseases caused by inflammatory overreaction and fibrosis. Nichi Glucan is now available for sale in India through the Amazon portal (https://www.amazon.in/Nichi-Glucan-Beta-1-3-1-6-Glucan/dp/B088NDF5T4) where customers have reported its capability as a vaccine adjuvant, earlier reported in the publication in Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics (doi:10.1080/21645515.2021.1880210). In Philippines M/s JCS pharmaceuticals (https://jcspharmaceuticals.com/) have got approval for importing and selling and in Myanmar M/s Zar n Zar (https://www.zarnzar.com/) have got approval for importing and selling the product.
The AFO-202 strain has been earlier reported with potentials for immune enhancement (doi:10.3389/fimmu.2020.01548), especially in the context of COVID-19,by virtue of its effects on prevention of coagulopathy related immune dysregulation (doi:10.1186/s12959-020-00239-6), glucose balancing (doi:10.1007/s40200-020-00664-4; doi:10.1155/2012/895370) and lipid balancing effects (doi:10.3109/19390211.2013.859211) apart from capabilities to induce the trained immune response (TRIM) (doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.620658).
Research on novel strains of this poly-thermotolerant black yeast derived exopolysaccharide have a hope for path-breaking phenomenal solutions to human beings of the 21st century who are exposed to challenging situations in life-style, working and living conditions, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. While the N-163 strain produce is likely to have benefits in conditions as fatty liver -Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) for which pre-clinical studies are underway, further exploration of other strains which are in the pipeline is likely to have potential solutions for unmet health needs including those common in societies with increased longevity, according to the inter-disciplinary team, AXIS (Antony- Xavier Interdisciplinary Scholastics, a division of GN Corporation).
Neurotransmitters like Alpha-synuclein have been found to be lesser in children with autism. Similarly, for sleep related disturbances in both children and adults, supplementation with melatonin is advocated. When these two components can be balanced or induced by methodologies that don’t involve pharmacological drugs or invasive interventions, it may be of immense help in several neurological conditions. Further, with dysbiosis of the gut microbiota having been attributed to several neurological disorders, probiotics apart from having been described to be of help, pre-biotic solutions are also reported to be helpful. Thus, beta glucans having a pre-biotic potential are likely to have beneficial effects, for which the GNC team has been undertaking in-depth research including clinical trials in Covid-19 patients.

CultureMagazineteensSweet 16 PartiesThe Maps & Legends Issue
It’s My PartyHow Conspicuous Consumption Became the Theme of Sweet Sixteens
by Ruby Bilger
Reginae Carter on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 (Prince Williams/Film Magic)
This article was published in Maps & Legends Issue #62 | Spring 2014 Subscribe »
Most little girls who grow up under the watchful eye of Disney believe, at some point, that they are princesses. If you were like me and also had a clutch of like-minded friends with hand-me-down dresses, you had the privilege of dressing up as one, too. We were serious with our princess games—we made scepters out of paper-towel rolls and hats out of construction paper, and clomped around in our mothers’ comically large shoes. We color-coded our skirts to certain royal personalities—the yellow skirt was Bossy Princess, the pink one Sassy Princess, the green one Greedy Princess. When we convinced our brothers to play with us, we would even be Machine Gun Princess or Knife Princess. We didn’t discriminate.
Now, as a teenager, it’s like I’ve come full circle. Some of the same girls that played pretend with me at age 3 are back in their princess gowns, their faces slathered in pancake-thick makeup, and their families and friends sitting proudly around them. They’ve traded in the paper hats for silver tiaras, replaced the bunkbed castles with professional catering and lavish ballroom entrances. They’re reenacting an outdated aesthetic when they should be old enough to understand its elitist and sexist undercurrents. What is this strange teenage retrospective? Lords and Ladies, meet the Sweet Sixteen.
The Sweet Sixteen is exactly what it sounds like: a really big 16th birthday party almost exclusively thrown for young women. The parties vary in theme, cost, and crowd, but a loose formula persists: Birthday girl wears ball gown and tiara. Guests gorge themselves on minibar snacks and multitiered cake. There are speeches and hugs and a strange collision of friends and family as everyone jams out to Billboard’s Hot 100 on the dance floor. The Sweet Sixteen is meant to be a coming-of-age affair, in which a girl’s extended family and friends gather to mark her new maturity. Different cultures recognize this rite of passage in different iterations, the most notable being the quinceañera, a Latin American tradition for 15-year-old girls. The quinceañera certainly exists in America, but because it’s deeply tied to Latin America and Catholicism, it’s less far-reaching than the secular and culturally nonspecific Sweet Sixteen.
The Sweet Sixteen is pretty mutable, both in its celebration and its role as a coming-out party. Some families embrace this rite in its full glory. (Princess throne! Video montage! Father-daughter dance!) Others hesitate to use the phrase “coming-of-age,” but cling to its trademarks anyway: the tiara, the gown, the heels, the makeup. Sweet Sixteens have been around since the 1970s, when they began to replace debutante balls in many areas, but they’ve had a resurgence in recent years. Most American teenagers are familiar with the Sweet Sixteen party, or at least some version of it. Not all have attended one (the parties are more popular among the affluent), but they’ve become part of the cultural mainstream thanks, in large part, to reality TV.
From 2005 to 2008, an MTV show called My Super Sweet Sixteen followed bratty, privileged teenagers through the dress fittings, cake tastings, occasional helicopter rides, and characteristic breakdowns of a themed birthday party bankrolled by their rich parents. For those familiar with the show, it’s hard to forget Taylor, the teenager from Columbus, Ohio, who threw a seven-figure “Viva Las Vegas” Sweet Sixteen, or perhaps Haley, whose 16th-birthday gift was a $40,000 grill (gold and diamond plated for all your womanly dental needs!). But even if Sweet Sixteens aren’t always as extravagant as those on MTV, they’re certainly not cheap. According to a 2006 CNN Money article, the average cost of the party hovers around $10,000. Some parents stick to a tighter budget, of course—buy a cardboard cake or hire a DJ whose licks are slightly less smooth—but without the venue, the dinner, the dancing, and the clothes, the celebration becomes just another birthday.
The Sweet Sixteen isn’t just for girls who want to be princesses—it’s for girls whose families can afford for them to be. The modern Sweet Sixteener is something of a diluted debutante. In a traditional debutante ball, the symbolism centers on purity and ownership: The deb wears a white ball gown and is accompanied first by her father, then by a younger male escort. A deeply class-based tradition among the rich and Waspy, the balls were originally a way for families on the Social Register to announce that their daughters were eligible for marriage—classism with a nice eugenic twist (although African American cotillions did emerge in the early 20th century). And debutante balls still exist (some as charity fundraisers), especially in the upper echelons of Southern and Midwestern society. The International Debutante Ball, one of the most famous and exclusive cotillions in the world, is still held once every two years at New York City’s Waldorf Astoria; its recent participants include the niece of George W. Bush and the daughter of Arianna Huffington.
Like the princesses I loved when I was younger, debs revel in elegance and beauty, but their identity ends there—as a cookie-cutter image of the marriageable woman. As Karal Ann Marling wrote in her 2004 book, Debutante: Rites and Regalia of American Debdom: “The debutante’s dream is a potent elixir—a dream of being almost royalty, a paragon of good taste and elegance…. A collective family dream in which the pretty daughter is both proof of good breeding and a bid to improve the stock through grafting.” Back in 1938, when a debutante named Brenda Frazier appeared on the cover of Life, she couldn’t see past her regalia to the person inside. “I don’t deserve all this,” she later remembered thinking. “I haven’t done anything at all.”
Today’s Sweet Sixteener isn’t an exact replica of the debutante, but she reflects the same narrow view of womanhood. The age itself means something different for girls than for boys—if not marriageability nowadays, then at least sexual readiness. In the history of popular music, “sixteen” as shorthand for nubile and willing is everywhere from Chuck Berry to Billy Idol. More recently, Hilary Duff’s “Sweet Sixteen” is about “spreading her wings” and growing up, though the age would be irrelevant if the song were targeted at teenage boys. And if 16 is still a noteworthy age for girls, it’s for pretty ambiguous reasons. The Sweet Sixteener isn’t the Jewish girl who spends years memorizing scripture for her bat mitzvah. She’s not even the scrawny American boy who joins the football team to bulk up. Of course, other adolescent rites of passage have their flaws—modern bat mitzvahs can be incredibly lavish, and team sports enforce their own narrow view of masculinity—but at least their participants do something.
The Sweet Sixteener isn’t given that dignity. Like Brenda Frazier, she doesn’t have to do anything at all. And the traditions that may accompany the party remind her of just that: Some Sweet Sixteens include a shoe ceremony, where the girl’s father replaces the flat she’s wearing with a high heel, or a tiara ceremony, where the mother crowns her in a symbolic passing of the womanly torch. These traditions may seem like a harmless way for a family to celebrate a daughter, but their trademark pageantry and passivity completely miss the point. Maturity isn’t about marriage anymore; it’s not about wearing makeup and attracting a nice boy who plays football and wants to be a doctor. It’s about stepping out of a sheltered teenage world and acknowledging something larger than yourself.
And for girls who will still have to fight for equal pay, reproductive rights, and general respect toward their sex, stepping into the real world requires the opposite of passivity. Whether a young woman wants to join the Peace Corps or the army, become a lawyer or an artist, personal initiative and public service play no part in the Sweet Sixteen party’s celebration of womanhood. And that’s the most maddening part. What kind of message is society sending to these girls when their “maturity” is marked by a new shoe? A rite of passage is a celebration of growing up, a presentation of a hopeful future. But if a girl’s family—or worse, the girl herself—doesn’t think she has to do anything to grow up, how short is her ambition cut down?
As a Brooklyn high school student, I’ve watched many friends glide down the dance floor in many shades of pastel. Some were well aware of the archaic stereotypes their parties reinforced, yet they believed that the Sweet Sixteen celebrated something more profound. “It wasn’t just about looking pretty; it was about bringing together those close to me who could share my special night,” said Anjali, a friend of mine who had her party last October. I went to Anjali’s Sweet Sixteen—she had a grand entrance and a first dance with her father. But to her, that wasn’t the point. The formality and the rituals were just ways of honoring her family for the young woman they’d raised.
The Sweet Sixteen is just dressing up an old gender role in a new gown, crowning it with a tiara that means the same thing it did 50 years ago.
Other girls take the opposite angle, denying that their party is a ritual at all. Their families may have a lot of money, but no stake in the party’s traditions, so they ditch the rituals and the speeches for a catering service and a DJ for a blowout birthday party. There are even a few “anti” Sweet Sixteens: birthday parties where girls request charity donations instead of presents. But most Sweet Sixteens fall into a more ambiguous category: They’re not billed as coming-of-age affairs, but the formal dress, speeches, and other traditions suggest otherwise. Many of my friends went along with the ceremony but hadn’t given much thought to its meaning. “Because my family had done them for so many years, it was just a normal thing to do,” one classmate told me. “I never questioned why.”
She didn’t think that her party was any sort of rite of passage, but she didn’t deny her family’s expectations for it. Her mom bought her a taffeta dress and her dad gave a lengthy speech about what a beautiful young woman she was becoming. The more she thought about all this, the more reflective she became. “The fact that all I had to do was look pretty didn’t really cross my mind,” she said. “But now that I think about it, it is kind of weird. It’s like my parents were saying, ‘Here’s my daughter, she’s accomplished so many things and she’s 16 years of age.’ But you wouldn’t do that with your son. You’re just dolling up your daughter and showing off how pretty she is to your friends.”
Any good 21st-century feminist will tell you that there is no right way for girls to act. Doctrinaire academics have as little right to tell teenagers what to wear as traditionalist families do, so if a 16-year-old girl wants to wear a princess dress, that’s her right. But too often the situation is less clear-cut: The Sweet Sixteener may be enthusiastic about having a party, but the context—i.e., the traditions and aesthetic—is more socially imposed. Gender parity hasn’t reached a point where patriarchal symbols are no longer dangerous. Maybe one day, in a distant future where the word “postfeminist” actually means something, boys will regularly have Sweet Sixteens, daintiness won’t be a necessity, and the symbols won’t be symbols anymore. But for now the tradition is unjustifiably fraught. The Sweet Sixteen is just dressing up an old gender role in a new gown, crowning it with a tiara that means the same thing it did 50 years ago.

Queen Elizabeth II 1926 – 2022
Bedwyr Gullidge
BlogtorWho joins the world in mourning the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth she has been a constant for over 70 years. Her death is a monumental moment in history.
Queen Elizabeth II has been frequently referenced in Doctor Who’s history. For instance, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II provided the setting for the Doctor Who story ‘The Idiots’ Lantern‘. Whilst in Windsor Castle during the story ‘Silver Nemesis‘ the Seventh Doctor and Ace almost crossed paths with the Monarch as she walked some of her corgis. Following the events of ‘Robot‘ an offer of dinner at Buckingham Palace was extended to the Fourth incarnation of the Doctor. The Silver Jubilee of 1977 also provided a backdrop for some of the action at Brendon Public School in ‘Mawdryn Undead‘.
During ‘The Christmas Invasion‘ Prime Minister Harriet Jones made a national address appealing for help from The Doctor. A framed photograph of the Queen was positioned on the desk. The Prime Minister also commented that the royal family were stood on the roof. On Christmas Day a few years later an alien replica of the Titanic almost crashed into Buckingham Palace, whilst the Queen was in residence. The Tenth Doctor contacted the Palace to evacuate the Queen and her staff. Her Majesty thanked the Doctor and wished him a happy Christmas as he managed to prevent the ship from crashing into the Palace. Perhaps that’s why the Queen didn’t mind when the Tenth Doctor parked his TARDIS in the gardens of the Palace in 2009 during the story ‘Planet of the Dead’. Queen Elizabeth II would also be referenced in several Doctor Who books, comics and audio adventures.
Although Doctor Who is only a television programme, the reverence and respect for Her Majesty when she was referenced in the programme has been a reflection of the enormous regard that she was held in. She was of course an individual who delighted in crossing paths with fictional characters. As a part of the London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony the Queen appeared with Daniel Craig as James Bond. Earlier this year Her Majesty filmed a segment with Paddington Bear as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. She is thought to have been a fan of Doctor Who, having followed the programme since 1963. It is difficult to comprehend that she won’t be watching the next broadcast of Doctor Who having been the reigning monarch for all the previous 870 episodes.
BlogtorWho mourns the loss of Queen Elizabeth II. God save the King.

Boston Medical Center Issues the First Sustainability Bonds in the U.S. for a Not-For-Profit Health Care Organization
Boston Medical Center News
BOSTON – Boston Medical Center (BMC) became the first non-profit health care organization in the nation to issue sustainability bonds with a $232 million bond sale this month that reflects the hospital’s commitment to carbon reduction and health equity for its patient population.
Sustainability bonds are both green bonds – recognizing BMC’s leading efforts on environmental issues – and social bonds, which reflect BMC’s role as an essential safety-net provider and national leader on health equity and social determinant of health supports in wraparound care for patients.
The bond sale was managed by RBC Capital Markets. The sustainability bond designation was certified by Kestrel Verifiers. Initial orders for the bond sale were oversubscribed by nine times, totaling over $2 billion. Due to the strong demand, BMC will save $5.4 million in debt service through lower interest rates.
“BMC is deeply committed to understanding and solving persistent health inequities in communities of color,” said Alastair Bell, MD, MBA, President and Interim CEO of Boston Medical Center Health System. “We also view continuing to take action on climate change, which disproportionally impacts communities of color worldwide, as a core and necessary leadership role within the healthcare sector. We are appreciative of the investors who share our vision for health equity in this first-in-the nation sustainability bond offering in non-profit health care.”
The sale attracted orders from more than 50 institutional accounts, with nearly $90 million directly from environmental, social and government-focused accounts. Moody’s Baa2 (stable) and S&P BBB (positive) ratings were affirmed for the new debt issuance. The bonds were issued through the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency.
BMC, an academic medical center with 514 beds on its main campus in Boston’s South End, is adding 70 new inpatient beds, including 60 medical-surgical beds and 10 ICU beds, five new operating rooms, new pre- and post-op areas, and outpatient improvements through a $222 million renovation and expansion of existing facilities. The expansion project supports BMC’s goal to become carbon net zero by 2030, while also increasing access to patient care and wraparound social supports to historically underserved populations.
BMC has reduced carbon emissions from energy consumption by 94 percent since 2011 through a series of initiatives, from a major campus redesign to partnering with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a solar purchase agreement to the installation of a cogeneration plant on the hospital’s rooftop. Practice Greenhealth has recognized the hospital with a Top 25 Environmental Excellence Award, the highest level of achievement, for leadership in climate action and resilience.
In September, BMC opened the Brockton Behavioral Health Center in Brockton, Mass., which was carbon net-zero for carbon emissions from energy from day one. BMC was the first hospital in the nation to issue green bonds, for more than $200 million, in 2015 and 2017 for the prior campus redesign and consolidation.
BMC has also established a wide range of services and programs beyond the traditional medical model to close disparities in health care, from the first-hospital based preventative food pantry in 2001 to nationally recognized housing, economic mobility and violence prevention programs. In 2021, the hospital launched the Health Equity Accelerator to study the root causes of racial health disparities and develop meaningful solutions to close the gaps.
“BMC demonstrates leadership in the healthcare industry through the holistic advancement of operational sustainability, health equity and climate action goals,” Kestrel Verifiers concluded in its second party opinion certifying the sustainability bonds.

Pulp magazines: Magazines published primarily in the 20th Century named for the cheaply produced wood pulp paper on which they were printed. The quality of the materials used in production was in keeping with the stories printed in the magazines. Cheap and accessible, but not intended to last very long. These magazines became popular diversions for readers, offering hard working writers a steady income, and thus introducing the world to many significant writers, especially in the genres of mystery and science fiction. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2708 | {"url": "https://www.bookgilt.com/search/results/isbn/9781493664177/format/hardcover/limit/200/dj/true", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.bookgilt.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:39:22Z", "digest": "sha1:HGDUU3SRHPPCNVFLKECD3UVWLCXZBU76"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 631, 631.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 631, 2068.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 631, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 631, 73.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 631, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 631, 326.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 631, 0.34259259]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 631, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 631, 0.028463]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 631, 0.00925926]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 631, 0.16666667]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 631, 0.75555556]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 631, 5.85555556]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 631, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 631, 4.03490409]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 631, 90.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 108, 0.0], [108, 631, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 108, 0.0], [108, 631, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 57, 7.0], [57, 108, 1.0], [108, 631, 82.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.24528302], [57, 108, 0.42553191], [108, 631, 0.00389105]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 57, 0.0], [57, 108, 0.0], [108, 631, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 57, 0.10526316], [57, 108, 0.0], [108, 631, 0.01147228]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 631, 0.99191231]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 631, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 631, 0.00896436]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 631, -10.07150538]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 631, -0.32355571]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 631, 21.47058928]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 631, 5.0]]} |

Lack of Poverty in Finland
By Staff Reports on July 29, 2014 World News
HELSINKI, Finland — There is not much to discuss when it comes to poverty in Finland. Finland has the second lowest relative poverty rate for children in the world at 5.3 percent, according to UNICEF. In 2012, Finland also had one of Europe’s lowest rates—5.5 percent—of people living below the poverty threshold (with a threshold at 50 percent of the national median income).
Policymakers across the globe want to know: “What’s the secret to Finland’s success?”
The first thing to know is that Finland is a welfare state. The government of a welfare state strives to ensure its citizens are healthy and financially stable. How? A welfare state protects its citizens by providing them with free, or inexpensive, healthcare, large pensions and numerous benefits.
Critics of the welfare state argue that the aid programs give “handouts” to people too readily. They hold that by supporting the impoverished with welfare and healthcare, the state is encouraging them to remain poor.
The majority of Finnish people feel very differently.
In regards to the causes of poverty, sociologists often give three reasons:
Individualistic: The individual is to blame for being poor. His or her poor life decisions led to his or her poverty.
Structural: In society’s social hierarchy, the poor are kept poor by external factors like the inability to find work, make a decent wage or receive an education.
Fatalistic: Anyone can become poor. All it takes is a severe illness or a period of bad luck, both of which people have little to no control over.
People who support a welfare state tend to disagree with individualistic explanations and favor the structural. Surveys of Finnish people have shown that they generally do not believe poverty results from one’s own behavior. They blame society or fate instead.
Consequently, Finns support welfare programs more than citizens of many other countries. One event in particular of Finland’s past helped to shape this perspective.
Finland went through an economic recession in the early 90s, in which unemployment hit 18 percent. Scores of people who thought they were safe from poverty found themselves slipping into it. As a result, Finns came to view poverty as a much larger threat, and support for “safety-net” government programs grew.
Today, Finns still fear the specter of unemployment. They believe that keeping people working for livable wages is the best way to address poverty. Anti-poverty policies that garner support in the country typically seek to create new jobs and increase employment rates. In the past year, unemployment has increased from 8.15 percent to 9.2 percent, but only about 1.3 percent of people are listed as “inactive” in the job market.
With these percentages, Finland is in a relatively good position globally, but any rise in unemployment is a cause for concern to Finns.
If the Finnish economy slows down, which economist Thomas Piketty has projected to happen, unemployment could skyrocket.
Employed people could even become a minority in the country.
In the event that economic growth slows down, some people have supported reforming Finland’s complicated welfare system in order to prevent the unemployed from falling into poverty. The reformation would incorporate a basic income. In this system, the government provides everyone with a minimum income, but stops providing pensions and unemployment benefits. It is still a welfare state type program—just a more efficient one, proponents of the basic income argue.
While these concerns do exist, Finland is still generally doing well. Experts laud its educational system. The Fragile States Index lists Finland as the world’s most stable country. The relatively new Social Progress Index has placed Finland in its top ten countries.
While the poverty rate is low, the Helsinki Times recently reported that “the majority of immigrant households live in poverty” in Finland. Thus, only certain groups of people—Finns or the people most similar to Finns—fully enjoy the generous welfare programs designed to prevent poverty.

Parkland, Fla., students and families flew to Washington, D.C., on the Patriots’ plane

Students and families from Parkland, Fla., were transported to Washington, D.C., ahead of the “March for Our Lives” against gun violence this Saturday with the help of the New England Patriots.
On Thursday, team owner Robert Kraft provided the team’s official plane to fly the families of the 17 victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and some of the students who were injured to the nation’s capital for the event, Patriots spokesman Stacey James said.
James said Kraft decided to lend the plane to those affected by the shooting after former Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, reached out to him and asked for the favor.
Kelly and his wife founded “Giffords,” a gun violence prevention organization, after Giffords survived being shot in the head in Arizona during a public event in 2011.
According to the Washington Post, Kelly said the students wanted to get to Washington for the march, so they helped to make that happen.
“Not only did their friends and teachers get shot and killed, other friends shot and injured . . . most of them, they had bullets flying over their heads,” Kelly told the Post this week. “This is not fair that they have to deal with something like this at their age.”
The plane took off from Fort Lauderdale Thursday, James said, and will bring the students and families back to Florida following the march. He was not aware of any Patriots players on the flight. Kraft was not with them.
“No report other than they took off and everyone was happy,” James said.
The Patriots debuted the so-called “AirKraft,” a Boeing wide-body 767 that features the team’s logo and an image of five Vince Lombardi trophies on its tail, in 2017. It’s one of two that the team owns.
Some of the most prominent student activists from Stoneman Douglas were in Cambridge earlier this week to participate in a panel at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government about the gun-control movement building across the country.
Thousands of people are expected to participate in the march in Washington to call for stricter gun control measures Saturday, according to event organizers. Similar protests are taking place around the country the same day, including in Boston.
Students shared photos on social media Thursday of themselves getting ready to board the plane. Others thanked Kraft and the Patriots for allowing them to borrow the “AirKraft.”

“Are You Ready?” Prepare for the Return of the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Hype Machine
By Briggs Seekins
The big pay-per-view weekend is over in the world’s largest gambling mecca, in the world’s largest officially authoritarian state. And the big take away in terms of important boxing knowledge is that Manny Pacquiao is, indeed, a far better boxer than Brandon Rios, and a much quicker puncher. We learned, as well, that Rios is an extremely durable S.O.B. He can take a big shot and keep coming forward, throwing punches with bad intention.
Of course, all of this information came as a revelation to exactly nobody. In the end, Brandon Rios vs. Manny Pacquiao played out in exactly the manner most fans would have expected it to play out. Rios showed himself to be a tough, spirited competitor, capable of taking a beating in heroic fashion.
He played to type, just as Top Rank had cast him to do. From the beginning, a large amount of the apathy towards this fight among fans has essentially come down to the fact that it was a clear competitive mismatch. There was near unanimous agreement that Rios’ only chance to win would be if Pacquiao were suddenly “all through” as a fighter.
So the only real drama Top Rank could offer going into this pay-per-view was the tension of finding out whether or not the once-great Manny Pacquiao was now washed up. That’s not exactly compelling in the same way Pacquiao-De La Hoya, Pacquiao-Cotto and Pacquiao-Marquez were.
As it turned out, Pacquiao performed exactly as he would be expected to perform against Rios. Rios showed up determined to win and applied patient pressure for much of the fight. But Pacquiao’s advantages in speed, athleticism and tactics allowed him to carry the fight for nearly every second of every round.
With Pacquiao returning to the win column, the Online boxing world should quickly return to its favorite non-story of all time—the “will they/won’t they” soap opera of Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather.
The fight that never was somehow managed to be the biggest boxing story of President Obama’s entire first term. And like an unpopular Congress, it’s the story that just won’t seem to ever go away.
Even with Pacquiao no longer viewed as a serious contender for top pound-for-pound status, Pacman vs. Mayweather remains the biggest fight that could be made. For Mayweather, it’s the only compelling fight left for him, short of fighting a middleweight like Sergio Martinez or Gennady Golovkin.
But at this point it’s not a fight I expect to see happen. Based on everything I’ve read around this fight in the public records—and I’m almost ashamed to say, I’ve read just about everything to come across my computer feeds—I just don’t believe the fight is destined to occur.
And as a matter of principle, I feel boxing writers and fans have already spent enough time and energy on a fight that has been nothing but an endless tease over the course of years.
Of course if the fight could actually be made, I’d be all for it. It would be a week that I actually got my stuff read by regular sports fans, and not just the boxing crowd.
But no matter how great a fight it would be in theory, talking circles around it forever when it never happens long ago began to have the effect of hanging out in a Sport’s Bar in the 7th Circle of Hell.
After Pacquiao got knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez last December the great non-fight story faded from the headlines. A lot of exciting and deserving boxing stories broke through into the forefront instead during 2013.
But neither Robert Guerrero or Saul Alvarez gave Floyd Mayweather a remotely compelling fight this year. He’s got nobody else left to fight.
Top Rank could create interest in a rematch for Pacquiao with Timothy Bradley. But after that fight, Pacquiao’s got nobody left but Mayweather.
So prepare for another round of that old refrain, the hit song from a few years back that you grew so tired of, but can never get out of your ear once you’ve caught the opening chords by mistake on the radio. Do not be surprised if you catch yourself humming it under your breath. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2711 | {"url": "https://www.boxinginsider.com/columns/ready-prepared-return-manny-pacquiao-floyd-mayweather-hype-machine/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.boxinginsider.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:47:14Z", "digest": "sha1:OGFKGSTT3WWXRXZVINM7V7AIJDHCFM4J"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4103, 4103.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4103, 5720.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4103, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4103, 91.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4103, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4103, 324.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4103, 0.45138889]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4103, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4103, 0.00907441]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4103, 0.00725953]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4103, 0.01149425]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4103, 0.01388889]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4103, 0.12962963]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4103, 0.50909091]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4103, 4.62377622]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4103, 5.3740584]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4103, 715.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 110, 0.0], [110, 550, 1.0], [550, 851, 1.0], [851, 1194, 1.0], [1194, 1471, 1.0], [1471, 1781, 1.0], [1781, 1986, 1.0], [1986, 2183, 1.0], [2183, 2478, 1.0], [2478, 2756, 1.0], [2756, 2939, 1.0], [2939, 3113, 1.0], [3113, 3317, 1.0], [3317, 3538, 1.0], [3538, 3679, 1.0], [3679, 3823, 1.0], [3823, 4103, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 110, 0.0], [110, 550, 0.0], [550, 851, 0.0], [851, 1194, 0.0], [1194, 1471, 0.0], [1471, 1781, 0.0], [1781, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2183, 0.0], [2183, 2478, 0.0], [2478, 2756, 0.0], [2756, 2939, 0.0], [2939, 3113, 0.0], [3113, 3317, 0.0], [3317, 3538, 0.0], [3538, 3679, 0.0], [3679, 3823, 0.0], [3823, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 92, 14.0], [92, 110, 3.0], [110, 550, 74.0], [550, 851, 53.0], [851, 1194, 63.0], [1194, 1471, 45.0], [1471, 1781, 52.0], [1781, 1986, 32.0], [1986, 2183, 35.0], [2183, 2478, 46.0], [2478, 2756, 50.0], [2756, 2939, 35.0], [2939, 3113, 36.0], [3113, 3317, 41.0], [3317, 3538, 35.0], [3538, 3679, 23.0], [3679, 3823, 23.0], [3823, 4103, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 110, 0.0], [110, 550, 0.0], [550, 851, 0.0], [851, 1194, 0.0], [1194, 1471, 0.0], [1471, 1781, 0.0], [1781, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2183, 0.0], [2183, 2478, 0.0], [2478, 2756, 0.0], [2756, 2939, 0.0], [2939, 3113, 0.0], [3113, 3317, 0.00497512], [3317, 3538, 0.01843318], [3538, 3679, 0.0], [3679, 3823, 0.0], [3823, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 110, 0.0], [110, 550, 0.0], [550, 851, 0.0], [851, 1194, 0.0], [1194, 1471, 0.0], [1471, 1781, 0.0], [1781, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2183, 0.0], [2183, 2478, 0.0], [2478, 2756, 0.0], [2756, 2939, 0.0], [2939, 3113, 0.0], [3113, 3317, 0.0], [3317, 3538, 0.0], [3538, 3679, 0.0], [3679, 3823, 0.0], [3823, 4103, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 92, 0.11956522], [92, 110, 0.16666667], [110, 550, 0.02727273], [550, 851, 0.02325581], [851, 1194, 0.02040816], [1194, 1471, 0.05054152], [1471, 1781, 0.01935484], [1781, 1986, 0.03414634], [1986, 2183, 0.02538071], [2183, 2478, 0.03389831], [2478, 2756, 0.02517986], [2756, 2939, 0.01092896], [2939, 3113, 0.02298851], [3113, 3317, 0.0245098], [3317, 3538, 0.03167421], [3538, 3679, 0.05673759], [3679, 3823, 0.05555556], [3823, 4103, 0.00714286]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4103, 0.82550663]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4103, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4103, 0.6997633]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4103, -108.65158811]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4103, 117.45322444]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4103, -281.5017507]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4103, 40.0]]} |
CrossFit teen raises thousands after brain tumour diagnosis
A 17-year-old has taken part in a fitness competition and raised thousands for Brain Tumour Research after he was diagnosed with the disease last year.
Teenager Rob Bichan was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) in January 2020 whilst in his penultimate year at school. He underwent a six-week course of radiotherapy to try to stop the spread of the tumour, which is on his brainstem and inoperable.
Having battled the side effects of the gruelling treatment regime, Rob has worked on regaining his fitness. Earlier this month, the sports fanatic competed in a CrossFit competition to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research. Along with his girlfriend Jodie, mum Jenny and brother Johnny (pictured), he raised more than £4,000.
Rob says his focus remains on staying as strong and healthy as possible. He said: “Raising money for this fantastic cause in the process will help get us closer to finding a cure and I feel proud to have done my bit. I am hoping that I and other brain tumour patients can benefit from a much-needed breakthrough in this area of cancer research before it’s too late.”

BACKGROUND: Stigma is a social phenomenon known to have a negative impact on the lives of people living with HIV (PLWH). However, defining HIV-related stigma (HRS) is difficult because of the intersection it has with structural inequalities, and cultural differences, discrimination by health care providers that measure stigma among PLWH. HIV/AIDS has been characterized as a traumatic experience and PLWH may experience stigma which can cause negative mental health disorders and experiences, including emotional distress, shame, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation. A systematic review of the evidence on the mental disorders of PLWH is currently lacking. This study aimed to analyze the association between HRS and social support, alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders and experiences (depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation) among PLWH. METHODS: In accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) this study searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of sciences, PsycInfo, SciELO and Cochrane library electronic databases to identify publications between January 1992 and August 2020 that discussed social support, alcohol use disorders, mental health disorders and experiences (i.e., depression and anxiety and suicidal ideation) associated with HRS. Pooled Odds Ratios (ORs) were utilized at a 95% confidence level, and as sampling methods differed between articles pooled estimates used a random effects model. RESULTS: Twenty-two studies with 9548 participants met the eligibility criteria. No association was observed between HRS and alcohol use disorders. PLWH who had higher levels of social supports were less likely to report HRS. Participants who had been diagnosed with anxiety were 1.89 times more likely to report HRS, while those diagnosed with depression were 1.61 times more. Respondents who reported suicidal ideation also were 1.83 times more likely to report HRS. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis supports that HRS has a detrimental association with anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation, but social support protects again HRS in PLWH. Applying interventions which focus on the mental health disorders of PLWH may decrease HRS. Provision of social support by practitioners, combined with mental health treatment and assessments, and designing methods to identify stigma at different stages of illness are warranted.

Building a Resilient Supply Chain: From Backend Support to Core Competence
Covid-19 has forced companies to bring supply chains to the front and centre of their strategy. Going forward, successful firms will be those with strong supply chains

The world around us changed rapidly, and drastically, with the sudden spread of Covid-19 in March 2020. To call it a Black Swan event would be an understatement. During the lockdowns, it was not just brands competing with each other to reach consumer households. It was more a battle between their supply chains. The brands that won the race, won it on the back of the success of their well-oiled supply chains. Covid-19 has forced many companies, and in fact the entire industry, to rethink and transform their supply chain model.
The focus over the past two years has been on creating systems and processes that help the supply chain—regarded as the backbone of any organisation—have the ability and the flexibility to absorb such disruptions and shocks. As companies looked at developing supply chain strategies to gain a sustainable competitive advantage, the key pillars on which these strategies were built were: agility, resilience, collaboration and networking with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. As they continued on this path, higher investments were made in supply chain technologies. This is contrary to the traditional industry practice of firms slowing down technology investments to a trickle in a volatile and uncertain economic environment.
The birth of e-commerce in India a few years ago added a completely new dimension to the way of doing business. While e-commerce had been growing at a steady pace, the pandemic accelerated this. In the post-Covid-19 world, e-commerce has emerged as the most-preferred contactless method of making purchases among consumers. And this trend is likely to stay. This has put the focus on the importance of customer delivery experience, which encompasses everything from speed and accuracy to real-time traceability and quality of on-time delivery. These are today crucial for consumer satisfaction.
Having tasted success with e-commerce, a growing number of companies are now experimenting with newer models of delivery like D2C (direct-to-consumer) and D2R (direct-to-retail). These models will gain importance in the next 3-5 years and will only contribute to incremental growth for organisations. These models give organisations greater control over the delivery mechanism, thereby reducing the impact that disruptions such as Covid-19 would have on traditional brick-and-mortar channels, besides allowing businesses greater control over the delivery experience they want to give their consumer. That’s where digitisation has become imperative. It is today a must for ensuring cost-effective and agile supply chain management.
Over the past two years, the traditional linear supply chain has witnessed a digital transformation, leveraging advanced technologies to focus on end-to-end visibility, agility and optimisation, and be better prepared to deal with the unexpected. Digitisation of supply chains or creation of digital supply networks will gather pace going forward as firms look to address the new and emerging requirements of their customers without losing focus on ERA (efficiency, resilience and agility). End-to-end digitisation from demand to supply planning, from procurement to manufacturing and logistics, would become commonplace.
This will help integrate processes, increase operational transparency, improve visibility and make them more efficient. Agility in supply chain is also acquiring a new form with companies realigning their strategies to meet the changes in global trade flows, emergence of new trade agreements, country incentives, etc. A successful supply chain operating model of the future will be one that can periodically review what work should get done locally, regionally and globally, including warehouses and manufacturing sites. While there may be considerable tax implications here, such a model will keep the organisation ready for any future disruptions. There is also growing focus within businesses on retraining and reskilling the work force to ensure that they adopt digital and adapt to new ways of working.
Adding the ESG Focus
ESG-focussed business strategies are no longer a feel-good concept. They are emerging as a necessity for every aspect of business. Millennials want to work for companies with sustainability built into their mission statements; consumers are increasingly seeking products that are environment-friendly; and governments are enacting regulations and compliance requirements that are pushing firms to focus on ESG issues as a business strategy. Supply chain transformation is going to be central to the sustainability targets being set by firms in the years ahead. We would increasingly see enterprises sharpen their focus on creating a more sustainable business by addressing the environmental, social and corporate governance concerns, and managing the ESG impact across their supply chain. That would, in the process, unlock the opportunities that this sustainable supply chain brings.
Supply chains have the tendency to expose firms to hidden and uncontrollable risks that can negatively impact their ESG scores. Since managing vendors and other third parties in the supply chain will not only be important but also tricky for firms, there is a crucial need for developing and implementing metrics to assess the ESG practices of suppliers, contractors and vendors.
Effectively integrating ESG goals into supply chain operations would also require frequent communication with all third-party partners. Sustainable sourcing would be the cornerstone of any approach to drive sustainability throughout the supply chain, covering all partners. Technologies such as blockchain and AI can be explored to improve visibility and traceability of supply chains, and ensure that partners operate fairly and ethically. Companies must also work with suppliers and business associates to reduce GHG emissions. Going forward, the most successful firms will be those that embed ESG throughout their supply chains, working with suppliers to find solutions that meet both business needs and the greater good.

Etihad Cargo reinforces commitment to China capacity
posted on 5th July 2022 by Olivia Pilling
Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Aviation Group, has reinforced its commitment to the Chinese market with the introduction of 15 direct passenger and freighter flights per week.
Throughout the pandemic, the carrier remained committed to the market with a wide variety of capacity, including reconfigured cargo-only passenger freighters. From July onwards, it will continue to expand operations, focusing exclusively on direct passenger flights and dedicated 777 Freighter flights.
In addition to cargo capacity on passenger flights, Etihad Cargo also operates Boeing 777-200 freighter flights daily for Shanghai and six times per week for Hong Kong, bringing the total cargo capacity into and out of China to 2,708 tonnes per week.
Martin Drew, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Cargo at Etihad Aviation Group, said: “As the Chinese market starts to recover from COVID challenges and zero-COVID restrictions are lifted, Etihad is pleased to resume its passenger operations to Beijing and reaffirm our commitment to Etihad Cargo customers with the introduction of capacity on key trade lanes. These flights will connect China to the Middle East, Europe and the rest of the world via Etihad Cargo’s hub in Abu Dhabi.
“China is a critical strategic market for Etihad Cargo, and the direct flights between the two capital cities and other major destinations will further strengthen the comprehensive strategic partnership between the United Arab Emirates and China,” Drew concluded.
Throughout the pandemic, Etihad Cargo continued to operate direct routes into China, providing cargo capacity via a fleet of modified mini freighters. With the resumption of passenger flights and a schedule of freighter flights, the mini freighters will be taken out of rotation. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2720 | {"url": "https://www.caasint.com/etihad-cargo-reinforces-commitment-to-china-capacity/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.caasint.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:27:30Z", "digest": "sha1:WNCS5WLJ7L5BGWMHNUCUAHV3G77G7KU2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1875, 1875.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1875, 3624.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1875, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1875, 78.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1875, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1875, 324.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1875, 0.32012195]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1875, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1875, 0.04244373]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1875, 0.0244373]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1875, 0.02700965]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1875, 0.00609756]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1875, 0.12804878]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1875, 0.51736111]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1875, 5.39930556]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1875, 4.56411679]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1875, 288.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.0], [95, 292, 1.0], [292, 595, 1.0], [595, 846, 1.0], [846, 1332, 1.0], [1332, 1596, 1.0], [1596, 1875, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.0], [95, 292, 0.0], [292, 595, 0.0], [595, 846, 0.0], [846, 1332, 0.0], [1332, 1596, 0.0], [1596, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 53, 7.0], [53, 95, 8.0], [95, 292, 31.0], [292, 595, 41.0], [595, 846, 42.0], [846, 1332, 78.0], [1332, 1596, 38.0], [1596, 1875, 43.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.12195122], [95, 292, 0.01036269], [292, 595, 0.01016949], [595, 846, 0.04081633], [846, 1332, 0.0], [1332, 1596, 0.0], [1596, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.0], [95, 292, 0.0], [292, 595, 0.0], [595, 846, 0.0], [846, 1332, 0.0], [1332, 1596, 0.0], [1596, 1875, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.05660377], [53, 95, 0.07142857], [95, 292, 0.03045685], [292, 595, 0.01320132], [595, 846, 0.03187251], [846, 1332, 0.07407407], [1332, 1596, 0.03030303], [1596, 1875, 0.01792115]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1875, 0.32582957]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1875, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1875, 0.59663725]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1875, -84.17834066]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1875, 10.05240279]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1875, -12.09313768]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1875, 9.0]]} |
Introduction to Photography
Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera, usually via a digital sensor or film, to create an image. With the right camera equipment, you can even photograph wavelengths of light invisible to the human eye, including UV, infrared, and radio. The first permanent photograph was captured in 1826 (some sources say 1827) by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in France. It shows the roof of a building lit by the sun. We have come a long way since then.
Many people today believe that their phone is good enough for most photography, and they have no need to buy a separate camera. And you know what? They’re not wrong. For most people out there, a dedicated camera is overkill. Phones are better than dedicated cameras for most people’s needs. They’re quicker and easier to use, not to mention their seamless integration with social media. It only makes sense to get a dedicated camera if your phone isn’t good enough for the photos you want (like photographing sports or low-light environments) or if you’re specifically interested in photography as a hobby. That advice may sound crazy coming from a photographer, but it’s true. If you have any camera at all, especially a cell phone camera, you have what you need for photography. And if you have a more advanced camera, like a DSLR or mirror less camera, your tools are up to the challenge. All that’s left is to learn how to use them.
Camera - If you buy a dedicated camera (rather than a phone), pick one with interchangeable lenses so that you can try out different types of photography more easily. Read reviews, but don’t obsess over them, because everything available today is pretty much equally good as its competition.
Lenses – This is the most important part of a camera. For everyday photography, start with a standard zoom lens like a 24-70mm or 18-55mm. For portrait photography, pick a prime lens (one that doesn’t zoom) at 35mm, 50mm, or 85mm. For sports, go with a telephoto lens. For macro photography, get a dedicated macro lens. And so on. Lenses matter more than any other piece of equipment because they determine what photos you can take in the first place.
Post Processing - One way or another, you need to edit your photos. It’s ok to start with software already on your computer, or software that comes with your camera. But in the long run, a dedicated program will do a better job. Adobe Light room is the best App to edit.
These three parts are compulsory to click good pictures. Other than these there are other gears but those are completely optional.
1. A tripod. A landscape photographer’s best friend.
2. Bags. Get a shoulder bag for street photography, a rolling bag for studio photography, a technical hiking backpack for landscape photography, and so on.
3. Memory cards. Choose something in the 64-128 GB range to start. Get a fast card, if you shoot bursts of photos, since your camera’s memory will clear faster.
4. Extra batteries. Get at least one spare battery to start, preferably two. Off-brand batteries are usually cheaper, although they may not last as long or maintain compatibility with future cameras.
5. Polarizing filter. This is a big one, especially for landscape photographers. Don’t get a cheap polarizer or it will harm your image quality. We recommend the B+W Kaesemann filter (of the same thread size as your lens). See our polarizing filter article too.
6. Flash. Flashes can be expensive, and you might need to buy a separate transmitter and receiver if you want to use your flash off-camera. But for genres like portrait photography or macro photography, they’re indispensable.
7. Better computer monitor. Ideally, you’d get an IPS monitor for editing photos (which we’ve also written an article about). A colour calibration device is also really helpful, so you know you’re editing the “correct” colours.
8. Cleaning kit. The top item is a microfiber cloth to keep the front of your lens clean. Also get a rocket blower to remove dust from your camera sensor more easily.
9. Other equipment. There are countless other photography accessories available, from remote shutter releases to GPS attachments, printers, and more. Don’t worry about these at first; you’ll realize over time if you need one.
There are three most essential things to remember while clicking pictures. The three most important settings are called shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. All three of them control the brightness of your photo, although they do so in different ways. In other words, each brings its own “side effects” to an image. So, it’s a bit of an art to know exactly how to balance all three for a given photo.
1. Shutter speed: The amount of time your camera sensor is exposed to the outside world while taking a picture.
2. Aperture: Represents a “pupil” in your lens that can open and close to let in different amounts of light.
3. ISO: Technically a bit more complex behind the scenes, but similar to the sensitivity of film for taking pictures in different lighting conditions. Also similar to brightening or darkening a photo in post-processing.
The purpose of photography can vary depending on what the photographer is trying to achieve. For example, documentary and news photographers capture images for the purpose of providing detailed account of actual events, while hobbyist photographers aim to capture life moments with their families and friends. There are many different types of photography, such as landscape, macro, wildlife, portrait, documentary, fashion, travel and event photography. A great photograph should have good light, subject, and composition – the three elements that matter the most in photography. The photographer should have a strong vision, then express it in the most effective way possible. In photography, the technical and the creative go hand in hand.
As Ansel Adams said “There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.” If the idea behind a photo is weak, using the right camera settings won’t make it better. |

By Shantonil Nag
The year 2018 has witnessed some exciting launches in the Indian market so far. With half the year gone, automotive enthusiasts are still thrilled about the second half of the calendar year. Why? Because some of the most-awaited vehicles will be launched soon. Which are these highly awaited cars and SUVs that are yet to be launched this year? Let’s find out.
Expected launch time: July/August 2018
Internally named as AH2, the all-new hatchback from Hyundai is expected to wear the Santro moniker. The car will take on vehicles, such as the Maruti Alto and Renault Kwid, in the very competitive entry-level car segment. The new Santro will be based on the discontinued Hyundai i10 platform. It will retain the tallboy design and is expected to be powered by the 1.1-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine that powered the i10.
The Santro is expected to get a manual and an AMT automatic option. It will be positioned between the Hyundai Eon and the Grand i10. The car gets a fresh styling and is expected to get a sub-Rs. 3 lakh price tag for the base model.
Jeep Compass Trailhawk
Expected launch time: June/July 2018
Jeep Compass captured the segment soon after its launch. The American manufacturer is now planning to bring the Trailhawk version of the popular SUV, which is more capable than the regular version. The car has been already showcased by Jeep India to prospective customers and dealers.
The car will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine that generates a maximum power of 170 Bhp – 350 Nm. It gets a 9-speed automatic transmission and many off-road friendly aids. The Trailhawk version gets Jeep’s Active Drive low-range 4WD, hill descent and a new Rock Mode that makes the vehicle more capable.
Mahindra U321
Expected launch time: September 2018
The Mahindra U321 will be the premium MUV in India. It has been spotted numerous times under heavy camouflage in India. It will be positioned between the Maruti Ertiga and the Toyota Innova in the Indian market. The U321 gets a monocoque body and many interesting features like LED DRLs, projector headlamps, roof-mounted rear AC vents and more.
The U321 will be powered by a new 1.6-litre mFalcon diesel engine that has been co-developed with SsangYong. It will generate around 125 Bhp of maximum power and 305 Nm of peak torque. The U321 will also come with a petrol engine. It will get a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that generates a maximum power of 163 Bhp. Both manual and automatic transmissions are expected with the MUV.
Mahindra S201
Expected launch time: October/November 2018
Mahindra is working on the SsangYong Tivoli based compact SUV for the Indian market and it has been caught testing on Indian roads. It will be the first of the Mahindra-badged cars from SsangYong to be launched in India. The S201 will be the sub 4-meter version of the car and will take on vehicles, such as the Ford EcoSport, Maruti Vitara Brezza and Tata Nexon. This will be Mahindra’s fourth vehicle in the segment after the launch of Quanto, NuvoSport and the TUV 300.
The S201 will get a monocoque chassis and will be powered by both petrol and diesel engine options. There will be a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that will develop class-leading 140 Bhp, while the diesel variants will be powered by a 1.5-litre engine that develops a maximum of 125 Bhp. There will be no AWD option available with the S201. There is also a longer version of the SUV that will be launched next year and will compete with the Hyundai Creta.
Maruti Ertiga
Expected launch time: August 2018
Suzuki launched the all-new Ertiga in the Indonesian market recently and the same car is expected to be launched in the Indian market soon. Just like the all-new Swift and the Dzire, the new Ertiga will get the all-new HEARTECT platform. It grows larger in dimensions too but remains smaller than the Innova. The new Ertiga is also expected to mark the debut of Suzuki’s two new engines. Maruti is currently working on the new 1.5-litre diesel engine and a new 1.5-litre petrol engine. Both the engines are expected to be launched with MPV.
Tata Tigor JTP
Tata showcased the performance sedan, Tigor JTP, at the Auto Expo. The car has been developed with Jayem Auto and will be launched soon in the Indian market. The Tigor JTP will be the cheapest hot sedan available in India. It gets a lowered suspension, new air dams, air scoops on the bonnet, new smoked headlamps and a body kit. The body kit consists of a side-skirt and rear diffuser.
The car uses the same 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that goes into the Nexon but additional changes have been made to the intake and the exhaust system to improve performance. The power output is rated at 108 Bhp and 150 Nm and it gets 5-speed manual transmission.
Tata Tiago JTP
Tata showcased the affordable Tiago JTP at the 2018 Auto Expo earlier this year. It will be the most affordable hot hatchback in the Indian market when launched. The Tiago JTP was recently caught testing on Indian roads for the first time ever. The Tiago JTP also carries changes similar to the Tigor JTP. It gets smoked headlamps, bonnet scoops, body kit and rear diffuser.
It is expected to be powered by the same 1.2-litre turbocharged engine from Nexon that has an output of 108 Bhp and 170 Nm. It will only get a manual transmission and will get a new age body kit to help it look different from the regular version of the Tiago.

CASFIL | Award “Maiores & Melhores"
Casfil was distinguished with the Exame magazine award for the best company on the market in the base materials sector, for the 2021 financial year.
The company thanks its employees and business partners for their joint work.
Find out about Casfil's strategy, its latest investment and its position on sustainability.
Casfil’s strategy is based on the persistent search for continuous improvement, not only in technology, processes and products, but also in the customer service and employee satisfaction. The investments made over the last four decades are aimed at ensuring not only its continuity over time, but also its development and a positive contribution to the community where it operates. The company adapts to changes in consumption, market and technology, keeping its values unchanged.
The most recent world events, such as the pandemic, logistical disruptions and the war in Ukraine have caused difficulties in supplying the industry. Casfil's path, marked by lasting partnerships with suppliers and customers and the diversification strategy, proved to be decisive in facing the uncertainties and volatility of the times we live in.
The last investment project of 35.9 million Euros, which is nearing completion, comprises the installation of a hybrid line for the production of BOPP and BOPE films, with improved performance in terms of technical properties and recyclability, as well as the expansion of the Santo Tirso industrial unit and the installation of an energy production unit for self-consumption, using photovoltaic panels. This project was approved by the Portugal 2020 investment incentive program, with financial support of 5 million Euros.
During 2022, Casfil also invested around 4 million Euros in production equipment, information technologies and modernization of the facilities.
The plastic industry has been mistakenly identified as one of the most polluting activities on the planet. Most plastics have a petrochemical origin, however, only 4% of fossil resources are used worldwide in their production. Plastic is a very versatile material and suitable for ensuring the preservation of goods, hygiene and health. It is present in almost all aspects of our daily life and in sectors that depend on it, such as food, medicine, logistics and high technology, among others. We cannot allow the benefits of this material, such as its lightness and durability, to also be its greatest threat to the environment.
Casfil considers the disposal of plastic in the environment to be unacceptable. Industry must lead by example in realizing the circular economy. Therefore, in partnership with its suppliers, Casfil seeks solutions for even more easily recyclable products, according to the different collection and recycling chains of plastic waste in different markets. The packaging design also takes into account the reduction in the amount of material, while maintaining the intended functionality. On the other hand, Casfil plays an important role in raising the awareness of its employees, families and the surrounding community of environmentally responsible behavior, which results from each of us reducing consumption, reusing, repairing and recycling. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2724 | {"url": "https://www.casfil.pt/index.php?id=6&idn=11", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.casfil.pt", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:02:49Z", "digest": "sha1:7FFHC5SQJZNCXX36COQN4E4KIWAI2VFN"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3226, 3226.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3226, 3898.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3226, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3226, 52.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3226, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3226, 177.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3226, 0.41281139]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3226, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3226, 0.0093633]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3226, 0.01273408]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3226, 0.00533808]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3226, 0.13701068]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3226, 0.55942623]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3226, 5.47131148]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3226, 5.04170879]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3226, 488.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 185, 1.0], [185, 262, 1.0], [262, 354, 1.0], [354, 835, 1.0], [835, 1184, 1.0], [1184, 1708, 1.0], [1708, 1852, 1.0], [1852, 2482, 1.0], [2482, 3226, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 185, 0.0], [185, 262, 0.0], [262, 354, 0.0], [354, 835, 0.0], [835, 1184, 0.0], [1184, 1708, 0.0], [1708, 1852, 0.0], [1852, 2482, 0.0], [2482, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 36, 4.0], [36, 185, 25.0], [185, 262, 12.0], [262, 354, 13.0], [354, 835, 73.0], [835, 1184, 53.0], [1184, 1708, 79.0], [1708, 1852, 19.0], [1852, 2482, 103.0], [2482, 3226, 107.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 185, 0.02739726], [185, 262, 0.0], [262, 354, 0.0], [354, 835, 0.0], [835, 1184, 0.0], [1184, 1708, 0.01559454], [1708, 1852, 0.03571429], [1852, 2482, 0.00162866], [2482, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 185, 0.0], [185, 262, 0.0], [262, 354, 0.0], [354, 835, 0.0], [835, 1184, 0.0], [1184, 1708, 0.0], [1708, 1852, 0.0], [1852, 2482, 0.0], [2482, 3226, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.25], [36, 185, 0.01342282], [185, 262, 0.01298701], [262, 354, 0.02173913], [354, 835, 0.00623701], [835, 1184, 0.00859599], [1184, 1708, 0.02862595], [1708, 1852, 0.02083333], [1852, 2482, 0.00793651], [2482, 3226, 0.0094086]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3226, 0.53344393]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3226, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3226, 0.38317758]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3226, -52.6710802]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3226, 65.74806005]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3226, 75.13122713]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3226, 22.0]]} |
How to Conquer the World
By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky ( bio - articles - email ) | Jun 29, 2021
We often pray for a life of tranquility, living happily ever after with the love of family and friends in reasonable comfort. So it might come as a surprise, but Christians—whether comfortable or afflicted—have an obligation in faith to conquer the world. “Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 Jn. 5:5)
A living faith is inseparable from mercy: “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” (James 2:14-26)
The corporal and spiritual works of mercy summarize the duties of faith. Providing food, clothing, and shelter for the needy—beginning with our families—is a social obligation. So are visiting the sick and the imprisoned and burying the dead. Instructing the ignorant, admonishing sinners, and counseling the doubtful are the obligations of parents, priests, and all leaders, great or small. Bearing with the faults of others, forgiving offenses, and comforting the afflicted requires generosity and call for uncommon graces. Praying for the living and the dead should be as routine as the sunrise and sunset.
God applies His grace to our responsive souls and, through us, to our institutions. Because of our limitations as individuals and to help us multiply the effectiveness of our good works, the Holy Spirit inspires us to institutionalize the works of mercy. He does not confer His transformative grace top-down on institutional structures, but rather individually, on our receptive souls. Institutions have worth in the eyes of God only to the extent that we mediate His graces in our work through them.
The Church as the Mystical Body of Christ has inestimable value as His spotless Bride. But hierarchical structures—to the extent they reflect the flaws of our fallen nature—do not. So Jesus inspires us to constant conversion and renewal as we share in His generous Spirit of love for the transformation of the world.
Various charitable organizations feed and shelter the poor. Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus to provide a structure for Catholic fraternal charity. Not-for-profit hospice organizations care for the terminally ill, and we contribute dollars to support such agencies. We dutifully pay taxes (not charity but lawful coercion) to ensure that nobody falls through the proverbial social safety net. But funding institutions can disguise uncharitable hearts.
Jesus pierces the veil of corrupt hearts with the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. The Pharisee ruins his charity by taking sinful pride in it: “God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.” (Lk. 18:11-12) The remedy is humility: “But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” (Mt. 6:3)
Those who have custody of charitable funds may humbly maintain they are good stewards. But personal charity belongs to the benefactors of the institution. Keep this in mind the next time you pick up the lunch tab using the company expense account. The charity always belongs to those providing the financial life support, but only if the contributions are selfless.
Even when we exclude evil organizations presented as charitable organizations (such as Planned Parenthood and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), we can pervert organizations having otherwise noble purposes. When we institutionalize charity, vigilance protects good works from the effects of sin. Examples of mismanagement and abuse abound. It is particularly distressing to see some Catholic agencies entangled in government organizations promoting population control. Sometimes justice demands that we remove the financial life support of so-called charitable institutions.
Our attempts to institutionalize the Holy Spirit to deflect personal responsibility are not limited to the corporal works of mercy. We also may undermine the spiritual works of mercy through institutions. Here is an amusing fictional conversation between a high-powered New York bond trader and his daughter from “The Bonfire of the Vanities” by Tom Wolfe:
“Daddy?” “Yes, sweetheart?” “Daddy, what if there isn’t any God?” Sherman was startled, bowled over… “Who said there isn’t any God?” “But what if there isn’t?”… What insidious little troublemaker in her class had been spreading this poison?...[Sherman] had hoped he would never have to discuss religion with [his daughter]. They had begun sending her to Sunday school at St. James’ Episcopal Church... That was the way you took care of religion. You enrolled them at St. James’, and you avoided talking or thinking about religion again.
Individuals and parents may delegate their spiritual works of mercy responsibilities to institutions. But such delegation does not relieve them of their duty of continuing vigilance because God applies His grace on us, and we are His instruments.
Jesus uses a Parable of the Yeast to teach the almost invisible radical subsidiarity inherent in the work of transforming the world in Christ: The kingdom of God “is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.” (Lk. 13:21) When we consider our sinful inclinations, the mystery isn’t so much the extent of evil in the world. The enigma is why there is so much good. The Parable of the Yeast helps us understand the disproportionate effect of good deeds and the power of God’s grace.
That all politics is local is generally true, at least during an election year. But the works of mercy that conquer the world are always personal—guided by wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.

Has the Government and the Judiciary failed to protect the women against the increasing maternal deaths?
Posted on Aug 21, 2019 Aug 23, 2019 Categories News Leave a comment
For the preceding eight years, CEHURD (Center for Health, Human Rights and Development) a company limited by guarantee and established under the Laws of Uganda, has brawled tooth and nail to ensure that the government is accountable for its mandate under the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, as amended. In 2011, the organization filed a public interest case in the Constitutional court under Constitutional petition 16 of 2011 questioning the multiple maternal deaths in Mulago hospital, a government established hospital, due to the reckless and negligent behavior of health workers and the limited medical machinery necessary to assist pregnant mothers with complications.
The Attorney General of the Government, stating that it was a political question doctrine, dismissed the first hearing on a preliminary objection. The political question doctrine is a ghost that has been haunting the Ugandan legal system and it was first encountered by the Constitutional court in Exparte Matovu, a 1966 decision which was challenging the Constitutionality of Obote’s government and the pigeon hall Constitution. Since then, until 2013 however, whoever questions performance of activities by government or any governmental institution is dismissed from continuing the process on grounds that the government is accountable to no one and the courts cannot question the performance of its activities.
However, in 2013, Justice Esther Kisakye gave a landslide ruling on behalf of the Supreme Court in Constitutional Appeal No.1/2013 that has formed such good jurisprudence for the Ugandan judicial limb. The court stated that the government could not hide behind the political question doctrine and fail to give accountability for the roles that were assigned to it since the constituent assembly sat in 1995 to promulgate the Constitution.
The learned justices made reference to Uganda’s broad obligations under international law such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966, The Maputo Protocol 2003 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1954, which provide that the government ought to show a fulfillment of a ‘minimum core’ obligation towards all of its duties. It thus directed the Constitutional court to hear the merits of the case and determine whether the government has actually fulfilled its minimum core obligation as regards the inconsistencies pointed out by the petitioners, this was with regard to the decision in Government of the Republic of South Africa and others V Grootboom May, 2000.
It has taken the Constitutional court five years to adhere to this Supreme Court directive and we finally got a hearing date for 13 June 2019, after years of beavering to get a hearing date. This was a major delight and ecstasy for the organization as a whole, the affected mothers, victims and well-wishers. Various media houses rejoiced with CEHURD and a social media campaign commenced, stating that the delay to hear that case has led to an increased number of maternal and child deaths especially in government institutions.
Two weeks prior to the hearing, the team worked tirelessly to compile a list of authorities, make copies of all the volumes of our documents and file our substantive arguments and submissions.
At 8:00 AM on the 13th day of June 2019, the whole team effortlessly grasped the throng of documents and volumes required for the hearing and paraded to court. Our voyage was combined with heavy down pours of rain that intensified the traffic on the roads but by the grace of God, we were able to arrive at TWED Towers, in Kampala and we were settled by 9:00 AM to await the judges to make a determination as to when our case would be heard. The courtroom was filled to capacity as students, advocates, the public and nonprofessionals sat tolerantly to hear the substantive arguments for the eight yearlong case. Majority of the public had no space to sit but they stood and awaited the proceedings.
As expected, the judges arrived at their expediency, an hour and a half later and our case was slotted for 2:00 PM. To add salt to injury, when the time for our case hearing came, it began at about 3:00 PM and the Attorney General, representative of government, asked for a month’s adjournment because they were not equipped for the submissions. The five panel bench willingly granted this adjournment and the case was slotted for 17 July 2019.
This came with a horde of disenchantments owing to the mounting success of maternal and women rights as well as the unremitting struggle to launch the aspects of health and the law into our Ugandan system. For the past four months, various reports and media coverages have been trickling in concerning a number of maternal and child deaths from Mityana Hospital and on 11 June 2016, there was a report on the death of Sylvia Nantongo, a 19 year old who died while giving birth due to the negligence of the health workers.
These have been a few of the multiple reports that have been made since 2017 on the increasing rates of maternal deaths in the country. This questions whether the government essentially takes keen interest in protecting the maternal functions of women and their rights in society as guaranteed under Article 33 of the Constitution. Additionally, there were concerns about the Constitution of the bench. There was only one lady on the bench yet these are very sensitive and important issues to the society we live in.
A four-man panel cannot effectively make a determination of maternal health law issues when they do not have a clear understanding of the nitty grities involved with child birth and thus, a need to get a more constitutive panel of females that will be able to understand the plight of the mothers and the urgency of the issues.
Until this is done, am afraid the written law concerning the rights of women and their maternal functions in society will remain on paper and the practicability of seeing justice delivered in this respect, will continue to be deferred and create peril for the lives of both women and girls in this our Uganda. Something needs to be done more proactively!

Center for Alcohol Policy Presents National Award to Texas Regulator
Sherry Cook, Executive Director of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Receives Leadership in Alcohol Regulation Award
DALLAS, TX – The Center for Alcohol Policy is pleased to announce that Sherry Cook, executive director of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), is the recipient of the Fourth Annual Leadership in Alcohol Regulation Award.
The award, which recognizes a specific program, agency or person who oversees the alcohol industry and promotes public safety, was presented by the Center’s Advisory Council at the Ninth Annual Alcohol Law and Policy Conference, taking place at the Dallas Renaissance Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
“The Center for Alcohol Policy appreciates that alcohol regulators are the front lines of many initiatives in the states aimed at keeping the alcohol industry properly regulated, promoting public health and safety and supporting a competitive business marketplace,” said Jerry Oliver, a Center Advisory Council member who has served as alcohol regulator in Arizona and as police chief in Pasadena, Richmond and Detroit. “This award highlights effective best practices that may serve as examples to alcohol regulators in other states.”
“One of the most impressive facets of Sherry Cook’s work is her tireless dedication to improve the state standard for liquor regulation by spearheading innovative programs and initiatives aimed at protecting the public and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the commission,” continued Oliver. “Since Director Cook joined the commission in 2006, she has made giant strides to modernize TABC’s business practices and initiated programs that focus on education and training.”
Director Cook oversees an agency with more than 600 employees, a biennial budget of more than $95 million, $200 million in annual revenue collections and a licensing system covering 73 different types of licenses among more than 50,000 licensed businesses in Texas. She has worked tirelessly to modernize the efficiency and operations of the TABC as well as the inter-office coordination for a large and diverse state. As an example of Cook’s commitment to improving the agency, she has implemented a statewide reorganization of the agency’s leadership structure. The reorganization better distributes the agency’s manpower and resources in line with the demands of evolving public safety concerns, increases in the state’s population and a growing alcoholic beverage industry.
Director Cook has made public education a key focus of the TABC and has recognized that the public needs to have more facts about alcohol and its potential for misuse. Under her leadership, the Texas ABC implemented 2Young2Drink, a web-based education program aimed at school-aged students and their parents, which highlights the dangers of underage consumption of alcoholic beverages.

2011 Biennial Report
New York City Emergency Management
A forerunner in the first shift from PDF reporting format to a truly interactive digital experience.
Since 2006, C&G Partners has collaborated with New York City Emergency Management. During that time we have sought to bring the latest developments in interactive design to the department. 2011 marked a shift for the Biennial from a PDF format to a truly interactive report. To make the content as engaging as possible, color photography drives the visual experience with concise text used to support each image, rather than the reverse. Viewers have the option to diminish or expand on the text as they wish. They are also able to choose how they prefer to navigate the document: as a linear slide show; selecting from a pull-down menu; or clicking on an image from a thumbnail menu. Infographics help to illustrate progress, achievements and report on programs. The Biennial is coded to be accessible on both desktops and iPads, allowing it to be as “green” a contribution to the public domain as possible. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2732 | {"url": "https://www.cgpartnersllc.com/projects/new-york-city-office-of-emergency-management-2011-biennial-report/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cgpartnersllc.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:20:20Z", "digest": "sha1:7HTESEGQ2UGPHAASNSXGSXW4FDGGI72X"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1065, 1065.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1065, 1248.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1065, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1065, 14.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1065, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1065, 266.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1065, 0.415]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1065, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1065, 0.12643678]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1065, 0.01724138]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1065, 0.02528736]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1065, 0.04597701]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1065, 0.025]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1065, 0.12]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1065, 0.59887006]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1065, 4.91525424]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1065, 4.34521932]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1065, 177.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 56, 0.0], [56, 157, 1.0], [157, 1065, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 56, 0.0], [56, 157, 0.0], [157, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 21, 3.0], [21, 56, 5.0], [56, 157, 16.0], [157, 1065, 153.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.2], [21, 56, 0.0], [56, 157, 0.0], [157, 1065, 0.00898876]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 56, 0.0], [56, 157, 0.0], [157, 1065, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.0952381], [21, 56, 0.14285714], [56, 157, 0.03960396], [157, 1065, 0.02312775]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1065, 0.07114863]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1065, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1065, 0.04053766]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1065, -51.08351003]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1065, 2.4713823]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1065, -10.9019668]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1065, 9.0]]} |
What's the challenge? Consultancy roundtable with Mercer, Hay Group, Aon Hewitt Middle East, Towers
23 Dec 2014 • by Changeboard Team
HR directors in the Middle East
What are the main challenges faced by HR directors?
Larisa Muravska, talent business leader – Middle East, Mercer (LM): As the region continues to divide into clusters, politically and economically, its labour markets start to show the same lack of homogeneity. The Gulf is a relatively stable geopolitical area, with economies that are driving activity across the region. So, as an HR director, you must focus on how to support business growth. Unemployment figures suggest that the supply side is in good shape, although the pipeline of employees in demand – those with the requisite skills, knowledge, and competencies – is far more restricted. To deal with this, employers are investing more in training and skill development to grow talent from within.
Peter Christie, managing director – Middle East, Hay Group: The biggest challenges lie in attracting, retaining and engaging talent. There are more issues around managing the performance and productivity of your organisation and holding people to account for their contribution to that. Increasingly, there is pressure to remain competitive in terms of pay, benefits and your business model.
Markus Wiesner, CEO, Aon Hewitt Middle East: The challenges of nationalisation are well known, not only to HR directors, but to organisations and governments alike. The region’s employable population is expected to almost double from 145 million to 278 million by 2050. It is one of the fastest growing populations in the world and there is a demographic youth bulge. Youth unemployment already stands at 27% and this is expected to rise in coming years.
In the GCC, there is a dependence on overseas labour to fill the roles that the local population feels are undesirable or for which it is hard to find appropriately skilled local talent. The region produces more graduates in humanities and social sciences than in science and technology. In some countries a dual job market has evolved, with nationals preferring to work in the public sector where wages are, on average, 30% higher than in the private sector. Yet the public sector’s capacity to assimilate more national talent is decreasing as both the wage bill and the number of young people looking for work grow. With one in every five nationals at high risk of attrition and an overall decline in engagement levels across the region, the overarching challenge is, as always, to attract, engage and retain national talent.
The bigger questions are: ‘What should HR managers do to address these challenges and how can they turn this abundance of working-age talent to their advantage?’
Elie Georgiou-Botaris, practice leader – talent management & organisation alignment, Towers Watson (EGB): Our research suggests that attraction and retention are ongoing challenges for HR, and are regarded as the greatest risks to organisations. Of the companies we surveyed, 65% are more concerned about the retention of
their critical-skill and top performing talent than ever before.
Risk and growth are high on the HR agenda in many organisations, and although our study participants are generally confident about the region’s prospects, there are appreciable risks and challenges surrounding HR and economic issues. The results of our 2012 Global Workforce Study, based on the opinions of more than 32,000 workers around the world (around 1,000 full-time employees in the UAE and around 500 full-time employees in KSA), suggested there is a struggle against the impact of financial pressure and constant change, with anxiety about the future. This represents a heightened performance risk for organisations – from lower productivity to higher inefficiency.
James Arnott, managing director, Accenture Capital Projects Services (JA): The MENA region has one of the most diverse workforces in the world, with professionals coming from more than 120 different countries. HR directors must provide practical organisational work strategies and policies for a diverse workforce that come from a variety of cultural, social, economic and religious backgrounds.
Just as globalisation has impacted other regional employment sectors, the MENA region is also continuing to evolve to meet new challenges. These include the rise of the
extended workforce, mobile workers, social media, mobile technology in the workplace, risk and privacy issues in a digital world and managing global operations. The ability
to identify, attract and retain talent continues to be a key differentiator in the market for employers.
What variations do you notice across the region?
LM: The market tends to split along economic growth fault lines. In the GCC, the focus is on employee retention and balancing rising labour costs with the need to retain, develop and promote. In the wider Middle East, where the issues of expat labour are less pronounced, HR is concerned with labour and benefit costs and ensuring alignment with local laws and regulations. The key questions that concern HR and business leaders in the Gulf tend to be around productivity, efficiency and business growth, with an emphasis on ‘localising’ workforces where possible.
PC: On a geographic basis, the UAE remains the most sophisticated market as it has the greatest degree of foreign direct investment, but Saudi Arabia is racing to catch up and is a very vibrant market, with a 5% growth in GDP expected during 2014.
There is a lot of interest in public sector reform to drive better service and efficiency, and there is a desire for greater competitiveness in the sectors that are most open to international competition – for example, transformation of the banking industry to enhance returns.
MW: Engagement figures for nationals are highest in Qatar, at 51%, and lowest in Saudi Arabia at 41%. Although neither of these rates are satisfactory, they presumably reflect the extent to which key engagement criteria – including pay, career progression and learning and development opportunities – are being met. Saudi is a relatively mature market in the Middle East, and also a very big one, while Qatar has experienced huge growth in recent years, from a far smaller base. Overlay that with the relative sizes of the national Saudi and Qatari working populations and we can assume that all the recent investment into Qatar and general optimism goes a long way to meeting the needs of a relatively small number of people. The opportunities per working Qatari may have flourished more recently than for the average working Saudi.
EGB: More than a third (36%) of the local national employees we surveyed in Saudi Arabia and nearly half (44%) in the UAE are likely to leave their employer within the next two years. However, 43% of Saudi national employees and 49% of UAE national employees would prefer to remain with their current organisation, even if a comparable job was available in the marketplace.
JA: The MENA region is constantly evolving as countries are impacted by economic, social, cultural and political changes. Developments and expansion have
produced a migrating workforce and competition for talent. Professionals are shifting locations to work on new projects. Now that Dubai has been awarded the 2020 World Expo, this will produce a new commercial magnet for professionals and workers with the creation of 275,000 new jobs. There will be an increasing demand for professionals from the engineering, construction, transportation, retail, logistics, and financial sectors, resulting in a rise in workforce competition. The ability to understand and navigate the varying employment rules and regulations across the region – and the drive towards local content – will also be an important aspect of the ability to create a flexible and competitive workforce.
How do engagement levels vary across the public and private sectors?
LM: In a recent global study, we asked respondents – mainly people employed in the private sector – what influences how motivated and engaged they are at work. While there was a variance in how employees in different countries and regions ranked their answers, the unanimous top choice was ‘being treated with respect’. We believe that this would score highly in a poll taken in the public sector, since it is a universal human desire.
PC: There is a major challenge in markets where jobs that have been created are so attractive that they make private sector careers unappealing to nationals. This inequality in
the labour market needs to be addressed before it becomes a major structural issue.
MW: Interestingly, despite the perceived attractiveness of working in the public sector – with its favourable conditions including considerably higher wages and regulated working hours – GCC nationals in the private sector report higher levels of engagement (45%) compared with their public sector counterparts (37%). Risk of attrition also rises from 20% for GCC nationals in the private sector to 24% in the public sector (and from 14% to 30% in the UAE).
This tells us that, while the public sector may be more attractive to nationals, the private sector is providing greater job satisfaction and is more likely to retain that talent pool.
EGB: Employee engagement is fundamental, yet fragile, especially since the economy is putting pressure on both employers and employees. Employers are at a critical point in their ability to sustain their employees’ engagement, mainly because they are running 21st-century businesses with 20th-century people programmes and approaches.
Globally, more than a third of the population we surveyed is highly engaged, a quarter of it disengaged, and the remainder feel some level of lack of support or detachment. We generally find that the public sector scores below the private sector in terms of engagement.
JA: In order to attract and retain top professionals, both sectors have been involved in developing high levels of employee engagement. Efforts have been spent on better articulating employee value propositions as a means to attract employee engagement initiatives to retain their talent. Regional nationalisation policies place additional pressure on the system. In many geographies there is limited talent, so efforts associated with ensuring high levels of engagement – to retain critical and scarce resources – are even more focused.
Public and private sector
Why is there such a disparity between the public and the private sectors?
LM: In general, the public sector provides better job security and work-life balance opportunities: no mandatory overtime, no unsociable hours, no shift work, and long holidays. Last year in the UAE, for example, public sector employees benefited from double the number of public holidays those in the private sector enjoyed. Public sector employees also receive very good benefits and their remuneration is as attractive as that in the private sector. In the UAE, about 90% of workers in the private sector are expats, while public sector jobs are dominated by UAE nationals.
PC: Many GCC governments have created employment opportunities in the public sector to mitigate youth unemployment, since this is more feasible than influencing the private sector.
To compete with the public sector, private companies must emphasise everything they have to offer, including career growth, exciting and rewarding work and the opportunity to effect real change. A clear career ladder must be shown to allow nationals who are here for the long-term to create a connection with the future.
MW: While the public sector is reputedly more attractive to nationals, those in private organisations are benefiting from an enhanced workplace experience. For example, Emiratis working in the private sector report significantly higher satisfaction levels than those in the public sector when it comes to key employee experiences such as learning and development opportunities (public sector nationals, 36%; private sector nationals, 59%),confidence in leadership (36% and 48%) and recognition within the organisation (49% and 67%).
EGB: Employers in the private sector are often reluctant to employ national workers based on previous bad experiences and their fear of job hopping and lack of loyalty.
JA: There are different focuses and intent. In some regional geographies, roles within government are highly sought after, in others not. The competition for talent is high and consequently the private and public sector are both recruiting from a limited number of high-tech professionals in the region.
What can the private sector do to redress the balance?
LM: A lot of companies have introduced graduate development programmes and special incentives – financial and non-financial – to attract local talent. However, there is still room for improvement. Companies could partner with local universities and high schools to educate graduates about private sector jobs, for example.
PC: Companies need to develop more compelling employee value propositions. For example, the most progressive organisations provide clear and planned career development opportunities with continued learning, and they create a corporate culture where knowledge transfer really works. For the first time, we are talking to leading-edge
organisations in the region about flexible benefits.
MW: Clearly there is an opportunity for the private sector to leverage the advantages it offers over public sector employment rather than trying to compete solely on pay. Interestingly, our nationalisation research shows that the percentage of nationals working in the public sector who are happy with their salaries (32%) was not significantly higher
than the overall average (30%).
The private sector needs to emphasise the meaningful experiences that locals have while working in that sector, to reinforce that the intellectual challenges and opportunities to prove themselves in the private sector might be higher. Given the drive to ensure nationals are taking on more of these roles, many private sector organisations are prepared to invest heavily in providing growth and development opportunities for nationals. So those who choose to follow that path may find it a more enriching experience.
EGB: Private sector organisations need to lose their fears and change their perceptions of national workers. Balance can be restored by employers who identify and attract the
right national talent, keep them engaged and motivated with concrete plans and focus on their career development. Also, sustainable growth will prepare them to assume pivotal and leadership roles in the organisation.
A research study conducted by Towers Watson Middle East in 2012 across the GCC indicated that succession management was widely seen among the majority of respondents (91%) as being a vital process in identifying and developing the next generation of leaders. Preparing nationals for leadership positions was also cited as a significant part of succession planning, with 70% of respondents agreeing on this focus. However, only 35% of them could identify, within their current talent pool, a GCC national with the potential to assume the role of the CEO.
This is one area that private sector employers can tackle in order to build and nurture a pool of capable, willing and highly engaged national talent with strong commitment and loyalty towards their organisations.
JA: Entrepreneurial opportunities offered by the private sector can be a differentiated proposition when organisations are formulating their employee value propositions and recruiting strategies. Due to high competition, this may not be enough and hence the private sector will need to go and challenge their conventional (and perhaps very Western) thinking to develop unique MENA region strategies. In some countries this implies looking to develop a mobile global workforce – a network of partnerships that are made up of contractors, outsourcing partners, vendors, business partnerships and non-traditional workers. In other countries it will be about the ability to develop local talent, be seen as the employer of choice through professional development and drive a differentiated proposition through in-country leadership, nature and type of work and local branding.
The future of HR in the region
What role does HR have to play in this?
LM: The HR function is more mature than it was five or so years ago, with tools, programmes and information now up to the task. The biggest thing HR can do is develop a closer appreciation of the business they operate in, so they can support advancement in this area. The key role for HR is to serve as an outward-facing employment brand for potential hires.
PC: HR has an absolutely crucial role to play. To effect change you must move away from being predominantly administrative and transactional to making a real
commercial contribution: influencing the leadership of the business and effectively implementing policies to create a high performance and high engagement culture. HR teams need the support of their leadership teams to ensure line managers recognise the contribution that HR can make, and give it space to do so. HR needs to work with the leadership team to effectively communicate local and regional concerns to corporate and global leadership, educating them about the region and how to best capitalise on the opportunities here.
MW: HR needs to take ownership of the nationalisation issue and address it more cohesively by adopting a more strategic approach to meeting the company’s
goals. Indeed we are seeing an increasing trend of moving away from isolated instances of intervention to a more managed approach addressing all facets of the employee lifecycle. Those HR departments who act now will provide a competitive advantage to their organisations in the future, as this issue is only set to become increasingly imperative.
EGB: HR can play a key role by translating business strategies into talent strategies through the introduction of fully integrated HR programmes and systems. These can create a high performance culture, build and grow a pool of high potential talent to prepare for and support future business growth, and address any emerging issues and challenges that may hinder or slow this down. HR can also support the business by maintaining highly engaged employees through addressing drivers such as leadership, work environment, development and growth, clarity of vision and strategic objectives.
JA: Accountability for workforce planning, HR strategies, recruiting and employee engagement all lie with the HR director. To be successful in the MENA region, HR directors will have to create non-traditional HR policies and strategies to manage a non-traditional workforce made up of more partnerships, contractors, freelancers and consultants. These people can work outside the traditional corporate structure and balance that with the ability to meet local content requirements and expectations.
What are your predictions for the future?
LM: Across the GCC, policy makers’ and business leaders’ agendas will be dominated by the issues of rising labour costs, labour productivity, employment and employability of local nationals. They will also need to juggle the supply and demand pipeline for the right mix of people and skills. Labour market competitiveness is an important building
block in the overall competitiveness of each country. A flexible labour market that is free of discrimination and accompanied by meritocratic incentive structures is one that is best placed to contribute to competitiveness.
PC: For HR, this year will be even busier and more challenging than 2013. There will be tougher battles to attract and keep talented individuals, to build capability through an organisation and create an HR function that is valued and recognised. As the war for talent returns, organisations must be conscious of the many levers that exist other than pay, which can help to build a more sustainable proposition through career development, leadership and by nurturing a positive organisational culture.
MW: Nationalisation has been an issue in the GCC for many years so one year is a very short period of time over which to look ahead. But in the short to medium-term, we can expect to see an acceleration of regulatory amendments to the functioning of GCC labour markets as well as and more government initiatives (such as Absher in the UAE) designed to encourage national workforces to consider the private sector as an employer. There will be an increasing focus on the education sector to provide work readiness, manage expectations and influence career choices. We have already observed – and would expect to see more – organisations taking a more strategic approach to realising their vision for nationalisation.
EGB: In order for HR to position itself for the future and gain credibility in organisations, it will undergo a mindset change and start to think more as a core business function rather than as a support. Accordingly, HR is expected to become more evidence-based to present the business with the required data and analytics to drive and support their human capital decisions and investment.
HR will also better integrate its systems and processes to ensure optimised and cost-effective investments in acquiring, developing, rewarding, engaging and retaining critical talent in pivotal and leadership roles towards sustainable business growth. HR technology will provide the platform for such integration, with ready and easy access to employee and market data for HR and the business. It will also be a tool for performance and reward management, recruitment and succession planning, and other HR systems. To support the upskilling and re-skilling of the workforce – and especially high potential local nationals who need to enter the workforce and play a more active and effective role – L&D strategies and opportunities will become the means for creating a competitive advantage, retaining the right talent and increasing employee engagement.
New competencies, leadership and otherwise, will emerge and become more critical to the success and sustainability of organisations working towards improved performance levels and employee behaviours. Ensuring business continuity through strategic workforce planning, succession planning and building bench strength will help identify critical roles and ensure the ongoing identification and feeding of the right talent into the pipeline.
JA: The MENA region is likely to be characterised by two key themes. ‘In-country value’ is a focus on the attraction and development of local talent – either as employees, potential employees or suppliers. ‘Extended workforce’ means increasing the number of employees, with a focus on cost and enabled by ‘lean human resources’ and ‘just-in-time’ employees. Regardless of all of this, the MENA region will be an exciting place to work in and be a part of.

Candid and insightful perspectives on the dilemmas and opportunities women confront as they take on leadership positions
Martha Piper and Indira Samarasekera had vastly different career paths on their way to becoming the first (and so far only) female presidents of two of Canada’s largest and most respected research universities and directors of some of the nation’s largest market cap companies, but what they had in common was their gender, their willingness to take risks when leadership opportunities presented themselves, and a work ethic second to none. It was not always easy, pretty, or fair, but it was always the result of choosing to answer the call to lead. A call that in the authors’ view, too many women still turn away from.
In Nerve: Lessons on Leadership from Two Women Who Went First, Piper and Samarasekera share their personal and professional stories, offering guidance for women leaders of every age and at every stage of their career.

How to Know What Size Business Envelope to Get
Talia Peterson
Source: zoeprint.com
Business envelopes can be useful for all sorts of things and are an important part of the mail process. There are a lot of different types of wrapping for different purposes, ranging from small ones that fit in your wallet to giant ones that could hold your entire phone book! By understanding these concepts, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision when it comes time to order your envelopes.
What is an envelope?
It is a document that has been folded once, typically to form four flaps. It is used for mailing items such as letters, memos, and brochures. They come in different sizes, depending on the item being mailed. Read more to get a detailed description.
When deciding what size envelope to get, it is important to consider the dimensions of the item being mailed as well as the recipient’s address. The most common size are A4 (229 x 295 mm), A5 (148 x 210 mm), and DL (178 x 260 mm). However, there are also smaller ones, such as an RSVP card envelope that is 95 x 110 mm.
The most common material used for business envelopes is paper. They are often white in color, but they can also be colored. They are usually folded in half along the long axis so that the front and back are identical. The folded edge should be glued or taped to the inside of the envelope so that it does not open during mailing.
Wrappings made from plastic are sometimes called “plastic bags without handles.” These envelopes are usually transparent or have a clear window so that people can see what is inside them. They are typically less expensive than paper ones, but they may not last as long because they can be more easily damaged. Plastic envelopes are often divided into two sections on the long axis so that they can be opened like a book.
Finally, it is always important to check the postage rate for the destination address before ordering an envelope. This will help you avoid overspending on postage fees.
Here is a list of some other different sizes and what they are used for:
-A 4×6 wrapping is typically used for letters or small cards.
-An 8.5×11 one is typically used for larger letters or packages.
-A letter size (such as an A4) is perfect for general mailing purposes.
-A large envelope (such as an XL) is best suited for heavier items, such as books or clothes.
The purpose of envelopes

Envelopes play an important role in business communication. When sending a document, such as a proposal or a letter, through the mail, it is often best to use a wrapping that is specific to that type of document. Depending on the size and content of the document, different envelopes may be appropriate.
Here are some tips on choosing the right one for your specific needs:
-To determine the size of the wrapping you need, measure the length, width, and height of the document. Add 1/4 inch to each dimension for seam allowances. This will give you the approximate package size you will need.
-For documents that will only go through surface mail (mail that does not go through a sorting machine), use pre-made economy wrappings. These come in sizes from 3 by 5 inches up to 9 by 12 inches.
-If your document will go through a sorting machine or if it is a special or large envelope, use a standard business package. These come in sizes from 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches up to 9 1/2 by 12 inches.
-Envelopes can also be classified based on their construction:
-Clasp envelopes have a fold-over flap that is sewn to the front and back of the wrapping. This type of package is best used for documents that will only go through surface mail (mail that does not go through a sorting machine).
-Sticker envelopes are similar to clasp ones, but they also have adhesive strips on the front and back that can be used to attach them to something else, such as a letter.
-Tapered envelopes have a narrower opening at one end and a wider opening at the other. They are best used for documents that will go through both surface mail and a sorting machine.
How to choose the right size for your business
With a bit of research and some simple guidelines, you can choose the perfect size for your needs.
It is important to consider the following factors:
-The number of items you will be mailing
-The average shipping weight of your items
-The delivery locations you plan to service
Below are some general guidelines to help you select the right envelope size for your business:
-If you only mail a few small items (less than 1 lb.), a mini mailer or flat rate wrapping may be enough.
-If you regularly mail larger items or have a high shipping weight average, a standard letter or large envelope may be better.
-If you plan to deliver to multiple locations, try to err on the side of larger wrappings (up to about 2 inches wider than tall) to avoid issues with overlap during postage.
-Keep in mind that some postal services offer discounts for larger packages, so it might be worth checking with your local post office before making a purchase.
Once you have chosen the package size and shape, be sure to choose the right paper for the document you are sending. There are many different types of papers to choose from, including cardstock, heavy paper, and vellum. Be sure to check the dimensions of the document to make sure it will fit in the envelope. Finally, seal it by crimping the flap or using a special sealer.
Envelopes are an important part of any business. Not only do they help to keep your correspondence organized and confidential, but they can also be used to present a company’s image in a positive light. In this article, we have outlined everything you need to know about business envelopes, from their essential characteristics to the different types that are available on the market. Hopefully, this information will help you choose the right one for your needs and make sure that it is delivered in impeccable condition.

Sometimes when our manually operated roller shutters have been used for many years, we may encounter that due to wear and tear after prolonged period of use over the many years, the manually operated roller shutters may start to lack tension in its spring system and therefore a change of spring may sometimes be required before the set of roller shutters eventually gets stucked.
Roller Shutters Does Not Spring Up or Down As It Should
If you notice that the manually operated roller shutters does not spring up or down as it should, it may be a sign that there is lack of tension. This may be true as a set of manual roller shutters contains a spring in its system and hence some form of tension should be felt whenever we lift up or bring down the roller shutters. If you are not able to feel the tension of the spring, you may want to seek the advice of a trusted roller shutter company to see if there is a need to repair or replace any of the parts before it eventually gets stucked. Once the roller shutters get stucked, urgent repair may be required as you are no longer able to gain access or secure your premises.
Tough to Push Roller Shutter Up or Down
Another possible scenario that you may encounter when the spring system lacks tension will be that when it is really tough to push up or bring down the set of manually operated roller shutters. When this happens, it may mean that the spring is lacking in tension and replacement may be required. This may be caused by wear and tear due to prolonged use of the roller shutters over many years. Just like any product or equipment which operates with a spring system within, wear and tear is normal and bound to happen once a product wears out over time.
If you encounter such situations while using your manually operated roller shutters, you may want to contact us and we will be able to advise if any replacement of spring or other parts is required. Upon actual site inspection, the roller shutter technician would be able to troubleshoot and advise you on what will be the recommended steps to take in order to rectify the problem and solve the issue. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2736 | {"url": "https://www.chengxing.com.sg/useful-tips/how-to-tell-if-a-manual-roller-shutter-lacks-tension-change-of-spring-may-be-required", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.chengxing.com.sg", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:30:15Z", "digest": "sha1:5F3FJ3JEUMUHRE2M34SRRZ44BALLHZB5"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2117, 2117.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2117, 3492.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2117, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2117, 48.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2117, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2117, 309.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2117, 0.53071253]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2117, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2117, 0.05260082]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2117, 0.10169492]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2117, 0.05260082]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2117, 0.05260082]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2117, 0.05260082]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2117, 0.05260082]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2117, 0.09000584]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2117, 0.06428989]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2117, 0.08766803]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2117, 0.04914005]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2117, 0.38501292]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2117, 4.42118863]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2117, 4.55621353]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2117, 387.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 381, 1.0], [381, 437, 0.0], [437, 1124, 1.0], [1124, 1164, 0.0], [1164, 1716, 1.0], [1716, 2117, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 381, 0.0], [381, 437, 0.0], [437, 1124, 0.0], [1124, 1164, 0.0], [1164, 1716, 0.0], [1716, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 381, 64.0], [381, 437, 11.0], [437, 1124, 134.0], [1124, 1164, 8.0], [1164, 1716, 100.0], [1716, 2117, 70.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 381, 0.0], [381, 437, 0.0], [437, 1124, 0.0], [1124, 1164, 0.0], [1164, 1716, 0.0], [1716, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 381, 0.0], [381, 437, 0.0], [437, 1124, 0.0], [1124, 1164, 0.0], [1164, 1716, 0.0], [1716, 2117, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 381, 0.00262467], [381, 437, 0.17857143], [437, 1124, 0.00582242], [1124, 1164, 0.15], [1164, 1716, 0.00724638], [1716, 2117, 0.00498753]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2117, 0.27906018]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2117, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2117, 0.04576123]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2117, -42.5470219]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2117, 2.31505732]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2117, -113.40980971]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2117, 11.0]]} |

The Centre for Health Policy welcomes its first post-doctoral fellow, Dr Adam Fusheini, who will work under the guidance of the new Chair for Health Policy and Systems Research, Professor John Eyles. This Chair was awarded as part of the South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) and focuses on universal access to quality health care for all South Africans.
During his two-year term, Dr Fusheini will focus on hospital governance in public and private hospitals in South Africa in view of the public health sector reforms underway in the country.
“This will entail an exploration of governance structures and processes and their impact on performance. There are perceptions that public health hospitals are stressed because their chief executive officers (CEOs) are constrained and cannot make certain strategic decisions independently. I want to see to what extent this is true, and if so, whether it is related to governance structures and processes, while reflecting on the business model of the private hospital sector,” said Dr Fusheini.
He explained that good governance included transparency and accountability in adhering to standards, systems and processes.
“I plan to examine the regulatory framework in which the actors of public and private hospitals – the CEO’s, boards and financial officials among others – work and interact with each other. This is especially important as South Africa moves ahead with its public health reforms under National Health Insurance,” he said.
A Ghanaian national, Dr Fusheini’s expertise lies in healthcare policy analysis of public social and welfare systems. He has a PhD in Social Policy and Administration from the University of Ulster in the UK, and received his Masters in Social Science in Development and International Relations from Aalborg University in Denmark. He also has a MPhil degree in Public Administration from the University of Bergen in Norway.

Encinitas Holiday Parade 2019
Looking for a fun holiday event? Stop by the Encinitas Holiday Parade! And if you need a Christmas light installer, look no further than ChristmasLightHanging.com!
Parade Details
San Diegans have attended the event for years. Don’t miss it! This year, the parade is being held on Saturday, December 7th, 2019 at 5:00 PM.
To get in the holiday spirit, stop by the tree lighting ceremony (5:00 PM at the Lumberyard) just before the parade. Directly following the ceremony is the main event- the parade! This begins at 5:30 PM. Don’t forget to bring some comfy camping chairs to settle in for the parade.
Pro Tip: To avoid a rush, arrive a little early, and set up those chairs in your preferred parade spot before making your way over to the tree lighting ceremony. To be on the safe side, designate a person from your group to stay behind with the chairs.
Marching Bands, Floats, Christmas Lights And More!
The Encinitas Holiday Parade is one of the most dynamic holiday events in the area. The event has been a staple San Diego holiday activity for many years, with thousands of people attending each year. It’s absolutely one of the best ways to start off the December holiday season!
Every year, the local community joins together to participate in the parade. Businesses, clubs, churches, and marching bands- they all do their part. There is really something for everyone to enjoy. A unique feature of this event is that classic cars can be seen throughout the parade.
And if you are an Encinitas local, you may even spot someone you know participating in the parade- that’s how many people come out to participate!
Finding street parking in close proximity to the parade can be a bit of a challenge. If you absolutely want to park on a nearby street, you may have to plan on arriving a few hours in advance. To avoid this, we recommend taking advantage of the free shuttles provided by the event that run from 4:00 PM through 8:30 PM. Park off-site at the YMCA on Saxony Road or at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas on Santa Fe Drive.

A Key Tool’s Outage Threatens to Set Back Financial-Aid Reforms
Jon Elswick, AP Images
An online tool that helps people retrieve tax data and fill out the application for federal student aid is out of commission. That threatens to undermine long-sought changes in the financial-aid application process.
For years, it was the holy grail of simplifying federal financial aid: Prior-prior year.
Allowing applicants to pre-populate the Free Application for Federal Student Aid with tax information from two years earlier would transform the notoriously complicated process of applying for money to pay for college, advocates said. It would increase Fafsa completion rates and encourage earlier filing, giving families more time to compare offers from colleges and a better shot at state and institutional aid. But the White House and Congress had hesitated again and again, citing the costs of expanding access to aid.
We got prior-prior year because we had the data-retrieval tool. Having that tool down sets the whole Fafsa-simplification process back years.
So when the Obama administration announced, in the fall of 2015, that it would allow applicants to use older tax data and file the Fafsa as early as October, student advocates and financial-aid administrators were elated. The Institute for College Access and Success called it a “crucial step to dramatically simplify and improve the financial-aid process for millions of students and families.”
The changes took effect just six months ago. But already, some of the promise of the switch to prior-prior-year has been lost. The Internal Revenue Service’s data-retrieval tool, which families use to easily import their tax information, is out of commission. Students are facing new obstacles to accessing aid. And financial-aid experts are warning that some low-income students won’t have their award packages by May 1 — decision day for many colleges.
The Education Department has implied that the data-retrieval tool will be back online by October, in time for the next Fafsa filing season. Still, some advocates fear that the consequences of the extended shutdown could extend beyond the fall, stunting efforts to streamline the Fafsa in the long term. They fear that families have lost confidence in the tool, and worry that attempts to increase its security will create fresh hurdles for low-income students.
“If the revised version of the tool is more complicated to use or requires information that families don’t have at their fingertips, students at the margin will fall out of the process,” said Robert M. Shireman, who served as a deputy under secretary of education under President Obama.
Setback for Simplification
Mr. Shireman should know. During his first year in Washington, in 2009, he helped broker an interagency agreement that led to the creation of the now suspended tool.
At the time, Obama officials and student-aid experts were arguing that letting applicants import information from their income-tax returns into the online application would save time and reduce transcription errors. But the Internal Revenue Service was balking at the idea, citing privacy concerns and the additional workload.
The breakthrough that occurred in 2009 was the result of “a high-level push, from the White House chief of staff to the IRS commissioner and education secretary, to come up with a workable solution” to sharing data, recalled Mr. Shireman, who is now a senior fellow at the Century Foundation. “It would not have happened at all without that push.”
In the eight years since then, the tool has become the “linchpin” for Fafsa simplification efforts, said Karen McCarthy, director of policy analysis for the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
“We got prior-prior year because we had the data-retrieval tool,” she said. “Having that tool down sets the whole Fafsa simplification process back years.”
Up until this fall, only applicants who had filed their taxes for the previous year could make use of the data-retrieval tool. Students or families who filed their taxes late often lost out on additional sources of non-federal aid.
The switch to prior-prior-year tax data, coupled with an earlier Fafsa start date, allowed families to file the aid application in the fall or early winter, before the scholarship deadlines set by states, colleges, and charities. It was supposed to increase the number of applications filed, and reduce the number subject to the time-consuming “verification” process, in which applicants must provide additional proof of income or other items.
And for a while, it seemed the change was working. By mid-February of this year, high-school seniors had completed 603,000 more Fafsa applications than they had a year earlier, according to the National College Access Network.
Low-income students can’t commit to a college without knowing if they’ll have enough money to attend.
Then, on March 3, just before many states’ deadlines for applying for aid, the IRS abruptly took down the tool, citing security concerns. The outage has forced applicants to manually enter their tax-return data and has slowed down what was supposed to be a speedier approval process.
In a recent survey conducted by the aid administrators association, a quarter of 192 respondents said that they had seen an increase in the number of applicants selected for verification, and 81 percent said the verification process had been lengthened or delayed as a result of the outage. Some said it was taking their students weeks — even months — to obtain tax transcripts from the IRS.
Advocates and aid administrators say the delays have already caused some students to miss out on state and institutional aid. Now, with “decision day” looming, they worry that some students who still haven’t received aid packages will have to put off college.
“Low-income students can’t commit to a college without knowing if they’ll have enough money to attend,” said Carrie Warick, director of policy and advocacy at the National College Access Network.
Like Mr. Shireman, she’s anxious to see what security fix the feds come up with for the tool. In a recent blog post, she urged the IRS to take a different approach than it took following a cyberattack on its Get Transcript tool in 2015. After that attack, the agency required people seeking a tax transcript for income-verification purposes to submit a cellphone number and evidence of a loan or credit card in their name. Low-income families may not have debt, credit cards, or cellphones, she said.
Others worry the shutdown has shaken public confidence in the data-retrieval tool, and could make some applicants wary of using it going forward.
“I think people had assumed that federal agency security was up to par,” said Ms. McCarthy. She said she’s already heard from one financial-aid administrator who was a victim of the data breach and is reluctant to use the tool again.
The challenge, Ms. McCarthy said, “is how do we make it as secure as possible, but still make it usable.”

[ARCHIVED] Homestead’s Award-Winning National Parks Trolley Returns
Homestead’s award-winning National Parks Trolley service returns Saturday, January 2, 2021 offering a free ride, free guided tour, and free admission to Everglades & Biscayne National Parks every weekend through April 4, 2021. The Trolley hub is in Downtown Homestead, where visitors can enjoy local restaurants, visit the free Historic Homestead Town Hall Museum, or catch a show at the Seminole Theatre.
The Homestead National Parks Trolley can be boarded at the hub located from Homestead Station in Downtown Homestead at 4 S. Krome Avenue or at an additional stop at the Marriott Hotels complex located on Campbell Drive just east of Exit 2 of Florida’s Turnpike. The trolley also connects to bus routes from Miami-Dade County public transportation and there is plenty of free parking adjacent to the trolley stop Downtown.
From Downtown Homestead, the National Parks Trolley will bring visitors to Everglades National Park’s Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center and the Anhinga Trail at Royal Palm. From Royal Palm, it will adjoin to tours of the Historic Nike Missile Site. On the way back from the Everglades, the Trolley stops at iconic local fruit stand Robert Is Here, known for its selection of tropical fruits and creamy milkshakes. Trolley riders will have the chance to pre-order from the stand or browse the unique array of fresh produce.
The Trolley also travels from Downtown Homestead to Biscayne National Park’s Dante Fascell Visitor Center and boardwalk and to the atoll beach at Miami-Dade County’s Homestead Bayfront Park. At Biscayne National Park, visitors can explore this mostly aquatic park on the Boca Chita Island Experience.
The National Parks Trolley is the only public transportation available to these nearby natural treasures and is one of the first programs of its kind in the nation. The groundbreaking program boasts a variety of prestigious awards including the National Parks Service Director’s Partnership Award and the City-County Communications and Marketing Association Savvy Award.
The Homestead National Parks Trolley is the result of coordinated efforts, spearheaded by Councilman Stephen Shelley, between National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) in collaboration with National Park Service and the City of Homestead. NPCA is America’s voice for National Parks and works to protect and enhance America’s National Park System for current and future generations.
Due to COVID-19, capacity on the Trolley is limited and a reservation is highly recommended. All riders on the Trolley must wear a mask, hand sanitizer is available, and vehicles are deep cleaned on a daily basis.

Wilson a big red zone target for MSU
The Clarion-Ledger
STARKVILLE – De’Runnya Wilson set the expectations at historic levels before the season. The Mississippi State wide receiver proclaimed he’d find the end zone 20 times this season to go with 1,000 receiving yards.
Through eight games, the 6-foot-5 junior has 524 yards and six touchdowns — not nearly at that self-proclaimed pace. In the last three, though, he’s played to those lofty standards with 258 yards and four scores.
“He’s a guy that hasn’t played a ton of football still,” MSU coach Dan Mullen said. “…I think he really is starting to learn to become a better route-runner right now and that’s going to be huge for him in the future.”
No Mississippi State wide-out stands taller than Wilson. Recently, MSU’s offense exploited that size within the red zone.
Bulldog quarterbacks targeted Wilson nine times in the red zone through the first five games. He's had 34 targets overall.
In the last three games, 10 of Wilson's 19 total targets have come in the red zone.
“You’re getting a lot of man coverage and some one-on-one opportunities,” Mullen said. “Even when you’re covering him you can’t get to the ball.”
Wilson brings unique eye-hand coordination to attacking the ball at its highest point. Like NFL tight ends Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates, Wilson first grabbed the attention of scouts on the basketball court.
He led Wenonah High School in Birmingham to a state title averaging a double-double, including 10.9 rebounds per game.
“I know how to beat a defender at the highest point of the ball,” Wilson said. “I just use that in football terms in boxing out and just trying to grab every ball I can get eye-level or higher.”
Wilson arrived on campus in 2013 with his 6-foot-5 frame as his biggest asset. The true freshman displayed the hands that helped him win Alabama’s Mr. Basketball, playing immediately in the season-opener against Oklahoma State in Reliant Stadium in Houston.
Raw athletic ability allowed for 26 receptions for 351 yards and three touchdowns. A year later, as a sophomore, he surpassed those numbers with a 47-reception, 680-yard season.
His growth continued this year by adding leverage to his routes. If the corner plays him inside, a quick grab, pull and release creates separation to the outside. If the corner prevents an outside break, Wilson plants his outside foot and separates with a move inside.
“I just think I run good routes,” Wilson said. “I know I’m expected to get the ball if I run a great route in the red zone.”
Even with five games remaining, Wilson won’t have enough time to pad his six touchdowns and capture his preseason goal of 20. His prediction might not have been as outlandish as it sounded at the time.
Defenses have brought Wilson down inside the 10-yard line seven times this season. Wilson could have double-digit scores through eight games with a bit more fortune and a few more broken tackles.
“I go hard. I strain each and every play,” Wilson said. “We’ll get to the 12th play, we’ll run on the field, I’m foaming at the mouth. I get down the field and make the catch, it’s almost like the burst ain’t there.”
There's still time for Wilson to finish 2015 in historic fashion. He’s caught a touchdown in three straight games. He trails Chad Bumphis by six for the all-time lead in school history.
“All the passes (Dak Prescott) makes, it doesn’t have to be great,” Wilson said. “Big time players make the passes great. That’s what I try to do out there in the red zone.”

On Movies, Mental Health And Roger Ebert
Popular film critic Roger Ebert died in April after a long struggle with cancer. He was 70 years old. Ebert was an intelligent, entertaining, and Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, with a passion for his craft. Over the course of his career, Ebert presented thousands of movie reviews. He published over 300 in 2012 alone. One of the films he reviewed in 2012 was the Academy Award-winning film, Silver Linings Playbook.
Many people connected with mental health are fans of this movie, and multiple mental health organizations have written about the impact of the film on mental health and people with mental health conditions. Ebert wrote from a different perspective.
Ebert had been quoted earlier saying, “No good film is too long and no bad movie is short enough.” He had good things to say about this film. In his review of Silver Linings Playbook Ebert notes:
“One of the ingenious and sort of brave accomplishments of Russell’s screenplay (inspired by a novel by Matthew Quick) is the way it requires both father and son to face and deal with their mental problems and against all odds finds a way to do that through both an Eagles game and a dance contest. We’re fully aware of the plot conventions at work here, the wheels and gears churning within the machinery, but with these actors, this velocity and the oblique economy of the dialogue, we realize we don’t often see it done this well. ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ is so good, it could almost be a terrific old classic.”
Some of the words he uses may not be the way we would describe mental health matters, but what Roger Ebert, and many others have done, is endorse the impact of the film. People not connected with mental health got, and continue to get, a glimpse into the real impact of mental health on families. And whether or not you agree with how this is presented in the film, it does provide people with an opportunity to discuss the real effects. This kind of talk is a good thing. And certainly worthy of a “Thumbs up.”

Local fans of outdoor gear and goods rejoice! Cabela's has announced plans to open a retail outlet in Avon, OH.
Construction on the new 81,000-square-foot digs, which will be located off exit 153 of I- 90 near Chester Road, will commence later this year and may be completed as early as fall of 2016.
“Cabela’s has been interested in northern Ohio and the greater Cleveland area for some time now, and we’re absolutely thrilled to announce this location in Avon," Tommy Millner, Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer, said in a press release.
“Ohio has proven to be a state full of outdoor enthusiasts, and full of loyal Cabela’s customers. Now Cabela’s will have a fourth conveniently located store to serve Ohioans and help them enjoy their time outdoors,” he said.
The Avon location will feature a mountain replica, an aquarium, wildlife displays, an indoor archery range, and a fudge shop. It'll also open up some 200+ full and part-time jobs for area residents.
Cabela's is the second outdoors store to target northeast Ohio in recent months. Retail giant L.L.Bean also announced plans to open a store in Lyndhurt's Legacy Village this November. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2745 | {"url": "https://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/Print?oid=4565762", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.clevescene.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:48:12Z", "digest": "sha1:4YJTUWTSZCAJHLU666IS5XSPCX5KKXV4"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1222, 1222.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1222, 4865.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1222, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1222, 143.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1222, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1222, 293.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1222, 0.33962264]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1222, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1222, 0.04290092]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1222, 0.01838611]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1222, 0.03268641]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1222, 0.04085802]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1222, 0.01886792]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1222, 0.18867925]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1222, 0.64390244]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1222, 4.77560976]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1222, 4.65115405]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1222, 205.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 48, 0.0], [48, 77, 0.0], [77, 189, 1.0], [189, 378, 1.0], [378, 615, 1.0], [615, 840, 1.0], [840, 1039, 1.0], [1039, 1222, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 48, 0.0], [48, 77, 0.0], [77, 189, 0.0], [189, 378, 0.0], [378, 615, 0.0], [615, 840, 0.0], [840, 1039, 0.0], [1039, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 6.0], [31, 48, 3.0], [48, 77, 5.0], [77, 189, 20.0], [189, 378, 34.0], [378, 615, 37.0], [615, 840, 38.0], [840, 1039, 33.0], [1039, 1222, 29.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 48, 0.0], [48, 77, 0.0], [77, 189, 0.0], [189, 378, 0.07734807], [378, 615, 0.0], [615, 840, 0.0], [840, 1039, 0.01587302], [1039, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 48, 0.0], [48, 77, 0.0], [77, 189, 0.0], [189, 378, 0.0], [378, 615, 0.0], [615, 840, 0.0], [840, 1039, 0.0], [1039, 1222, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.12903226], [31, 48, 0.17647059], [48, 77, 0.13793103], [77, 189, 0.04464286], [189, 378, 0.02116402], [378, 615, 0.04219409], [615, 840, 0.02222222], [840, 1039, 0.01507538], [1039, 1222, 0.05464481]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1222, 0.97294956]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1222, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1222, 0.68967319]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1222, -80.16394696]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1222, 26.4716435]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1222, -42.70012157]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1222, 13.0]]} |
The rise in conversational search is changing digital customer engagement
What Is an SMS Gateway and How Does It Work?
Conversational customer engagement
Users are changing the way they search. They're increasingly using natural language and asking questions. Digital customer engagement is not the same as it once was.
In the past, we’ve always expected to be served the same content and information that would be seen by other users. Another user may live across the world and have a completely different set of needs and interests to you, and you’d both be seeing the same content on every website and digital platform you’d visit. But times and technology have changed.
Personalized digital customer engagement
Users want to see the information that has been personalized to their needs and interests. They want their previous interaction with the site to be remembered and to inform the way in which the website is currently being displayed.
The digital marketing industry must also embrace this change in search to inform online marketing strategies. What would appeal to one customer likely won’t appeal to all. It’s no longer acceptable to send the same messages to all customers. In fact, that’s a pretty effective way to frustrate them, leading to them unsubscribing, unliking, and unfollowing.
An option that digital marketing professionals have long used to their great advantage is location marketing. By understanding where a customer is based, using their GPS-enabled mobile phone to pick up their location, you're able to push adverts from their closest store. This ensures they aren't arriving at a store only to find out that specific promotion is only available in another town, two hours away. That’s an effective way to personalize your online marketing strategies, without feeling too intrusive but rather offering helpful information.
Increase in voice search
One of the reasons why search is changing so significantly is due to the increase in voice search. Previously, you would have typed “sushi New York” into a search engine. Now, you’re more likely to ask your smart device to help you find “the best and most affordable sushi restaurant in New York’s Greenwich area that’s open tonight”. By asking such a specific question, you’re making your intention and desire to purchase obviously.
According to Think with Google, during the past two years:
Mobile searches for “do I need” have grown by more than 65%. Do I need a new mobile phone?
Mobile searches for “should I” have grown by more than 65%. Should I buy a new mobile phone?
Mobile searches asking “can I” questions have increased by 85%. Can I get a new mobile phone on my current phone contract?
In the past, people used more simple searches. Just by typing in simple keywords, they were able to find the information they were looking for. Now, though, searchers have become more specific and so have their questions. This means that marketers need to meet these specific customer queries. Customers are becoming more comfortable with using technology. They’re using natural language while looking for answers to their questions and exporting intuitive experiences.
“In search, after locking down the keywords and phrases typically associated with your business, think beyond those to consider more conversational phrases that customers might be using to find you,” says Sara Kleinberg, Head of Ads Research and Insights at Google.
Google has become really effective at understanding search intent. It knows what users are really saying when they ask a question. Search queries which start with "I want", “how”, “why”, “when”, and “where”, trigger algorithmic outcomes which work to bring relevant answers to searchers.

Kilimanjaro: The Trekking Guide to Africa’s Highest Mountain
About the Kilimanjaro Guide Book
The Climb Mount Kilimanjaro trekking guide is published by Trailblazer Guide Books. Written by me, Henry Stedman, it provides unbiased and comprehensive advice on climbing Kilimanjaro. Whatever your question about your trek, you’ll find the answers here.
With the first edition published in 2002, the Kilimanjaro Guidebook quickly became established as the go-to trekking guide for those wishing to reach the summit of Africa’s highest mountain.
While you can find a lot of information on this site, there’s even more information included in the book. Information such as reviews of all the trekking companies. There are also complete guides to the towns and cities that will act as the base for your trek.
The fifth edition of the ‘Kili Bible’ is now available. Use the links below to buy the Kilimanjaro Guidebook, or scroll down to see some of the reviews and find out more about what’s included in the latest edition. Note that as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. However, it does not cost you any more to purchase through us.
For this fifth edition we have improved and updated the Kilimanjaro Guidebook in a number of ways.
As a result, this guide book:
Is the only Kilimanjaro guide with full descriptions of the trekking routes by somebody who has climbed all of them.
The only one to include town and city guides to Arusha, Moshi and Marangu, the places that will be your base before and after your climb.
The only Kili guidebook with a review of the trekking agencies. These include the opeartors in Tanzania (Arusha, Moshi and Marangu) as well as the tour operators in the UK/US/Canada/Europe/Australia/New Zealand/South Africa. As it is the tour companies that, more than anything else, will make or break your trip, this is a vital part of the book. As such, it should be required reading for anybody before booking a climb. We do not accept sponsorship and our reviews are completely unbiased and based on our dealings with the companies. We also welcome readers’ letters and recommendations and include these in our opinions.
The only book with up-to-date and accurate maps and altitude readings.
The only guide with GPS waypoints for all of the major routes.
A comprehensive run-down of Kilimanjaro’s nature including full-colour flora guide.
The guide book also provides:
A thorough health and fitness section. This will help you stay healthy in East Africa, increase your chances of making it to the top and ensure you make it back down again;
Advice on how to book your trek and what to look out for in the agency’s contract.
Comprehensive pre-departure information including advice on what to take, and what to leave behind!
Details on flights to East Africa.
City guides to Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, the two biggest cities in East africa that you may well fly into,. What’s more, we also provide an introduction to Kilimanjaro International Airport.
A thorough practical information section (including visas, currency, budgeting, transport, food etc) on travelling around Tanzania and Kenya.
We work closely with the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) to highlight the plight of porters and how trekkers can help to alleviate their suffering.
The most comprehensive sections on the history of Kilimanjaro and Tanzania.
A look at the culture of the local Chagga people who inhabit Kilimanjaro’s lower slopes.
Photos and illustrations (from both contemporary and historical sources, including some wonderful pen-and-ink sketches by the first Europeans to see the mountain, way back in the nineteenth century).
Thirty maps covering every stage of climbing and descending from the mountain.
Furthermore, there’s a full description of the Mount Meru trek.
And if that’s not enough, this book is still the most up-to-date available.
Everything, indeed, to help you get from the safety of your favourite armchair at home all the way to the very summit of Africa’s highest mountain. And no other guidebook can provide anything like that kind of comprehensive coverage.

But don’t just take our word for it. Check out our reviews in the press and on amazon.com or amazon.co.uk (all of which we promise you are genuine). We work hard to make this book the best Kilimanjaro Guide Book there is… and we’re proud that other people seem to appreciate what we’ve done!

US Users
This Website is provided strictly on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Use of the Service is at Users’ own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner expressly disclaims all conditions, representations, and warranties — whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights.

The disclaimers and exclusions under this agreement shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

All communications relating to the use of this Website must be sent using the contact information stated in this document.
Should any provision of these Terms be deemed or become invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed and reformed to the extent reasonably required to render it valid, enforceable and consistent with its original intent. These Terms constitute the entire Agreement between Users and the Owner with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other communications, including but not limited to all prior agreements, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. These Terms will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Should any provision of these Terms be or be deemed void, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall do their best to find, in an amicable way, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions thereby substituting the void, invalid or unenforceable parts.
In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, if so permitted or stated under the applicable law.
Without prejudice to the above, the nullity, invalidity or the impossibility to enforce a particular provision of these Terms shall not nullify the entire Agreement, unless the severed provisions are essential to the Agreement, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract if they had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship on any of the parties.
These Terms are governed by the law of the place where the Owner is based, as disclosed in the relevant section of this document, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Exception for European Consumers
However, regardless of the above, if the User qualifies as a European Consumer and has their habitual residence in a country where the law provides for a higher consumer protection standard, such higher standards shall prevail.
Venue of jurisdiction
The exclusive competence to decide on any controversy resulting from or connected to these Terms lies with the courts of the place where the Owner is based, as displayed in the relevant section of this document.
The above does not apply to any Users that qualify as European Consumers, nor to Consumers based in Switzerland, Norway or Iceland. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2749 | {"url":

Functional Assessment Service Teams (FAST)
By Nancy Aird The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted on July 26, 1990. It guaranteed equal access to individuals with disabilities to state and local programs, services, programs, activities, and facilities, which included support from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), faith and community-based organizations, and private sources. FEMAs’ Whole Community preparedness approach promotes integrating people with access and functional needs (AFN) into general emergency shelters or other areas. In 2007, the California Department of Social Services created the Functional Assessment Service Team (FAST) program after Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath showed sheltering thousands of disaster victims needed pre-incident and proper coordination.

How far is Newark from New Jersey?
Also known as EWR, this airport is located 15 miles southwest of midtown Manhattan in New York City and sits on the border between Newark and Elizabeth, in New Jersey. Owned by the city of Newark, it—like nearby LaGuardia and John F.
Yes, Newark is technically a “New York City” airport even though it’s in a different state. And it’s about the same distance from Manhattan as JFK, so it’s easy to assume that flying into Newark is the same as flying into JFK.
As far as commuting into the city, both are at the mercy of traffic. Newark is closer to Manhattan than JFK geographically. In terms of traffic on highways, I think you would get to Manhattan quicker if you fly into Newark.
Newark Airport was the first major airport in the United States. Newark Airport, along with JFK Airport and LaGuardia Airport, combine to create the largest airport system in the United States, the second largest in the world in terms of passenger traffic, and largest in the world in terms of total flight operations.
Newark Liberty International Airport is located in Newark, New Jersey, 24km from New York City’s Manhattan borough. Newark serves New York City and the wider Tri-State metropolitan region, and is a major international gateway to the United States.
Newark, city and port, Essex county, northeastern New Jersey, U.S. It lies on the west bank of the Passaic River and on Newark Bay, 8 miles (13 km) west of lower Manhattan Island, New York City. Newark was incorporated as a city in 1836.
Newark, New Jersey Country United States State New Jersey County Essex Founded Religious colony (1663).
Newark Liberty International Airport opened (as Newark Metropolitan Airport) in 1928. It was built to be the first airport serving New York and was the busiest commercial airport in the world in the pre-war years. JFK opened in 1948 (as New York International Airport).
What is the nearest airport to Brooklyn? The nearest airport to Brooklyn is New York Skyports Seaplane Base (NYS) Airport which is 6 miles away. Other nearby airports include New York JFK (JFK) (8.8 miles), New York La Guardia (LGA) (9.6 miles), Newark (EWR) (12.4 miles) and White Plains (HPN) (31.9 miles).
Because of its higher passenger volumes, JFK is better equipped to deal with incoming international flights. Out of the top 20 airlines using JFK International during the 12 months ending May 2019, only four are domestic carriers. By comparison, eight of the top 20 at Newark Liberty International are domestic.
It is the closest airport to Manhattan. It’s good to consider if being near Manhattan is best for your flight. EWR (Newark Airport) is a huge international airport located 25 minutes west of Manhattan and is ideal if you’re staying in Manhattan, or really anywhere, including New Jersey during your trip.
JFK might be rated at the bottom, but EWR and LGA aren’t much better. LGA is closest to Manhattan, so that would be my first choice. After that, it’s a toss-up, though I find it easier to get from EWR to the west side of Manhattan, and from JFK to the east side. 3.

October Development’s $20M Hotel and Apartment Project in Pittsburgh Receives $3M Economic Growth Initiative Grant

A $20 million redevelopment project centered around the renovation of the former ARC House building on Pittsburgh’s North Side will result in a new 120-key Comfort Inn by Choice hotel, a 300-space parking garage and a 36-unit apartment building.
According to the Pittsburgh Business Times, Gov. Tom Corbett has announced a $3 million Economic Growth Initiative grant that would support the new development, which is slated to rise along a two-acre stretch of East Ohio Street in Historic Deutschtown. The area, which includes 20 parcels, is an active junction for nearby Interstate 279 and Route 28 and serves as a gateway location for all of the city’s North Side neighborhoods.
A team led by locally based October Development and assisted by the North Side Leadership Conference has yet to determine the project’s construction start.
The redevelopment of the historic 20,000-square-foot bank building has in fact been in the planning stages for about five years.
“It’s an incredibly important site for the Deutschtown neighborhood and for the North Side as a whole. It’s about remaking that entry point. Right now, what you see is a beautiful but vacant bank building and a bunch of empty lots and vacant and decaying structures. It’s not what the North Side is,” Mark Fatla, executive director of the North Side Development Conference (NSLC), told the newspaper.
Design and financing for the project are yet to be finalized, as are the agreements with other development partners. North Side Community Development Fund, a subsidiary of the NSLC, is one of the funding providers for the new development.
“This investment will continue our mission of making the city of Pittsburgh a premier, worldwide destination,” Corbett said in a press statement. “Bringing people and jobs to the Northside area will ensure that we can continue to build a stronger city and state.”
Other grants recently awarded by Gov. Corbett include $30.7 million for United States Steel Corp.’s $187 million investment in its Mon Valley Works operations in Braddock, as well as $4 million for the revitalization of the former Saks department store building on Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh.

Simon’s $3.6B Taubman Buy a Positive Sign for Class A Malls

The deal signals not only that Simon is in it for the long haul but also that premier shopping centers are undervalued.

Simon Property Group Inc.’s pending acquisition of an 80 percent interest in Taubman Centers Inc.’s The Taubman Realty Group LP will give Simon majority ownership of some of the highest quality malls in the U.S. And the $3.6 billion price tag on the 25 million-square-foot portfolio serves as a vote of confidence in the future of premier malls amid a challenging climate for lesser quality shopping destinations.
Of the 24 super-regional shopping centers involved in the transaction, 21 are located in the U.S. and three can be found in Asia. The portfolio includes such notable properties as the nearly 900,000-square-foot Beverly Center in Los Angeles, which emerged from a half-billion-dollar makeover in late 2018; the 1.3 million-square-foot Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo.; and the Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota, Fla., featuring 880,000 square feet. Assets in Asia include Starfield Hanam, a 1.7 million-square-foot center in Hanam, Gyeonggi, South Korea.
“Admittedly, Taubman is a much smaller mall REIT than Simon, but it’s a company that has well above-average sales productivity in their centers—the Mall at Short Hills [in Short Hills, N.J.], Cherry Creek [in Denver], Waterside Shops in Naples,” James Sullivan, managing director & REIT analyst with BTIG, told Commercial Property Executive. “So, they’re really focused in very strong local residential markets in the U.S. that have very high sales numbers and rich revenue.”

The Taubman portfolio was 94 percent leased in the fourth quarter of 2019 and recorded U.S. comparable sales totaling an average of $972 per square foot. The deal marks an upgrade for Simon, as while Taubman’s portfolio is comparatively small, its average quality is higher than the average quality of Simon’s holdings.
LONG LIVE THE (CLASS A) MALL
Simon’s cash acquisition of all Taubman common stock amounts to $52.50 per share, marking a 51 percent premium to Taubman Centers’ closing price just days ago on February 7. “While they’re paying a 51 percent premium to the closing price, these stocks have sold off 60 percent over the past 15 months so it’s at a discount to where it was trading back in 2018 and it’s at a discount to where just about everybody on the street pegs where the actual underlying value of the real estate should trade,” Kevin Brown, equity analyst with Morningstar, told CPE.

Simon plans to rely on existing liquidity to fund the multi-billion-dollar Taubman purchase. Both Sullivan and Brown agree that while this is a big-ticket deal, Simon—graced with size and an investment-grade balance sheet—will likely be able to take out long-term debt and equity to pay down their credit facility as pricing on debt and equity moves to a better position over the next couple of years.
“[The Taubman acquisition] shows that Simon is in this for the long term and they are some of the smartest people in the space out there, and it gives everybody confidence that at least with the Class A malls, there is a long-term viability and potential there,” Brown noted. “If Simon says it’s too good to pass up, it sends a signal that Class A malls are undervalued.” High-end mall REIT Macerich saw its stock go up 11 percent on news of the Simon-Taubman agreement, but the reaction has been different for Class B and Class C mall owners. PREIT stock was up just 3 percent, and CBL Properties’ stock went on the downswing. “This gives credence to the he story I’ve been telling investors over the last year; we’re looking at a bifurcation of retail where the top 100 malls are going to continue to see very strong, solid growth but the headlines are going to be dominated by stories of store closures and dying malls that are all going to happen in the Class B and C category,” he added.
Simon has been pursuing major acquisitions for a few years now.
In 2015, Simon made a failed unsolicited bid for Macerich, ultimately proposing to buy the mall REIT’s outstanding shares for $23.2 billion, including the assumption of debt, before rescinding the offer.
More recently, news emerged last week that Simon had joined Brookfield and Authentic Brands Group on the proposed acquisition of most of fashion retailer Forever 21’s business in a stalking-horse bid of $81 million. The Taubman deal, however, is a gamechanger. “This is a really good move for Simon. There are only a select number of Class A malls in the U.S. and those malls just don’t become available every day,” Brown said. The transaction is on schedule to close in mid-2020.

Client Alert: FCC Sets August 31, 2010 Deadline for Payment of FY 2010 Annual Regulatory Fees
The FCC has announced that full payment of all applicable Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 2010 must be received no later than August 31, 2010.
As mentioned in a July 9, 2010 Report and Order, the Commission will mail assessment notices to licensees/permittees reflecting payment obligations for FY 2010, but intends to discontinue such notifications beginning in 2011. Be aware that the notices sent may not include all of the authorizations subject to regulatory fees, and do not take into account any auxiliary licenses for which fees are also due. Accordingly, you should not assume that the notice is correct or complete. Similarly, if you do not receive a notice letter, that does not mean your authorizations are exempt from regulatory fees. It is the responsibility of each licensee/permittee to determine what fees are due and to pay them in full by the deadline.
Annual regulatory fees are owed for most FCC authorizations held as of October 1, 2009 by any licensee or permittee which is not otherwise exempt from the payment of such fees. Licensees and permittees may review assessed fees using the FCC’s Media Look-Up website – www.fccfees.com. Certain entities are exempt from payment of regulatory fees, including, for example, governmental and non-profit entities. Section 1.1162 of the FCC’s Rules provides guidance on annual regulatory fee exemptions. Broadcast licensees that believe they qualify for an exemption may refer to the FCC’s Media Look-Up website for instructions on submitting a Fee-Exempt Status Claim.
For more information on annual regulatory fees, including assistance in preparing and filing them with the FCC, please contact any of the lawyers in the Communications Practice Section.

FCC Releases Final Regulatory Fee Amounts
FCC Eliminates Earlier Proposed Fee Reductions for Radio and Sets Hefty Increases for UHF Television Stations
Last week, just as broadcasters were finishing up with their new Biennial Ownership Report filings, the FCC released its final order setting the annual regulatory fee amounts stations must pay for Fiscal Year 2010. In so doing, the FCC erased promised reductions in annual regulatory fees for radio broadcasters and reallocated the television fee burden from VHF broadcasters to UHF broadcasters, resulting in considerable increases in the fees paid by UHF broadcasters over last year and even over the Commission’s prior proposals for FY 2010.
Each year, the FCC reports to the Office of Management and Budget the amount of money that the FCC estimates it will need to run its operations in the coming year. Congress generally accepts this estimate and sets it as the amount that the FCC is statutorily obligated to raise from its licensees through annual regulatory fees. Between 2008 and 2009, fee amounts increased by about 10%, prompting outcries from broadcasters that the fee increases have historically been too high year to year, and that they were simply intolerable in a year in which the industry was so adversely affected by the economic downturn.
Perhaps because of this, for 2010, the Commission requested, and Congress required, that it raise 1.8% less revenue than it had in 2009. Based on that reduction, in April the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing modest, across the board cuts in the amounts paid by radio licensees. Only AM construction permits were to increase–by $20. In contrast to the broad increases in television fees experienced in 2009, the FCC’s proposals were for modest increases in some, but not all, television categories. In most television categories where an increase was proposed, it only amounted to a few hundred dollars over the 2009 level. Even the three categories that were hardest hit (VHF stations in Markets 26-50, and UHF stations in Markets 1-10 and Markets 11-25) only saw increases of a few thousand dollars.

Senate Amends DISCLOSE Act to Delete Lowest Unit Charge Provisions
In my recent commentary on the Senate version of the DISCLOSE Act (Senate Disclose Act Bill Raises Serious Concerns For Broadcasters), I highlighted provisions related to the Lowest Unit Charge which had the potential to cause a very significant adverse impact on broadcast station revenues from federal election advertising.
Senator Schumer introduced today a revised version of the DISCLOSE Act. While retaining other campaign finance reform provisions, the new version thankfully eliminates the LUC provisions that were the focus of my concern.
The Act has not yet been passed, and could still be modified either in the Senate or in a Conference Committee with the House. We will continue to monitor the bill and let you know if further attempts are made to reinstate the troublesome LUC concepts.

Let Them Eat Fees: Broadcasters and the Spectrum Measurement and Policy Reform Act
At a recent presentation on legislative matters affecting the communications industry, I noted that broadcasters, while lately feeling much under siege, should not underestimate their part in the digital future. It is true that the government wants broadcasters’ spectrum (the National Broadband Plan), cable operators want broadcasters’ programming, ideally for free (the retransmission battles in Congress and at the FCC), politicians want broadcasters’ airtime (the DISCLOSE Act), musicians want broadcasters’ money (the Performance Tax), and the Internet would love to have broadcasters’ audiences. However, the conclusion to be drawn from those facts is that broadcasters have what everyone else wants, and need to themselves capitalize on those important assets.
Let there be no doubt that broadcasters are in for some challenging times fending off those who covet their riches, but that is a far better position than having no riches to covet in the first place. As the possibilities for television and radio multicasting become better developed through experimentation and innovation, mobile video gains the prominence in the U.S. that it is experiencing overseas, and broadcasters continue to refine how best to leverage their content on multiple platforms, broadcasters have as good an opportunity as anyone to make their mark in a digital future, while others fall by the wayside as “one-idea wonders.”
Unfortunately, government has begun to place its thumb on the scale, discouraging broadcasting while encouraging other wireless uses. The latest example is this week’s introduction of the Spectrum Measurement and Policy Reform Act (S. 3610) by Senate Communications Subcommittee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). The legislation would encourage broadcasters to abandon spectrum for a share of the government’s auction proceeds for that spectrum, and authorize the government to impose spectrum fees on broadcasters. In other words, the FCC can use spectrum fees to “encourage” broadcasters to relinquish their spectrum.
This government push is propelled by one of the oldest myths regarding broadcasting, and one of the newest myths. The first myth is that broadcasters are the only licensees who have not paid for their spectrum, and therefore merit less leeway in how they use it, or whether they get to use it at all. Of the thousands of broadcasters I have worked with over the years, however, only a handful actually received their spectrum for free. The vast majority bought their stations (and FCC licenses) from another party, paying full market price, and therefore being really no different than the wireless telephone licensee that also bought its FCC authorization from a prior licensee. Whether some earlier, long-gone broadcast licensee that built the station enjoyed some financial windfall doesn’t bring any benefit to the current licensee. The current licensee inherited the dense regulatory restrictions of broadcasting, but not the “free spectrum.”
In addition, new broadcast licensees have generally purchased their spectrum at FCC auction since Congress changed the law in 1997, just like wireless licensees. Despite that, no one has suggested that even these more recent licensees should be released from FCC broadcast regulations because they paid the government for their spectrum.
The second and newer myth, propogated by advocates of the National Broadband Plan, is that broadcasting is a less valuable use of spectrum than wireless broadband since spectrum sold for wireless uses goes for more money at auction than broadcast spectrum. That is, however, a distorted view of value. Everyone, including the FCC and the wireless industry, has denoted broadcast spectrum as “beachfront property” from a desirability standpoint, meaning that it is not the spectrum, but the regulatory limits placed on it, that is creating the difference in cash value at auction. An alternate way of viewing it is that the public receives that difference in auction value every day from broadcasters in the form of free programming and news, rather than in the form of a one-time cash payment to the government. That the public receives more value for their spectrum from continuing broadcast service than from a one-time auction payment (that is swallowed by the national deficit in a matter of seconds) becomes more obvious when you realize that the public will then spend the rest of their lives leasing “their” spectrum back from the auction winner in the form of bills for cellular and broadband service.
An apt analogy is national parks. Would selling them outright for industrial use bring in more cash than keeping them and allowing them to be enjoyed by the public? Certainly. Is selling them for industrial use therefore the most valued use of parkland? Hardly.
Broadcasters have been good tenants of the government’s spectrum, paying the public every day for the right to remain there. If they stop those public service payments, they lose their license, making way for a new tenant. This new legislation aims to entice these paying tenants from their spectrum so that the spectrum can be sold outright to the bidder who perceives the greatest opportunity to extract a greater sum than the auction payment from the public. That may be poor public policy, but it is at least voluntary for the broadcaster, though not for the public. Threatening to tax broadcasters with spectrum fees until they surrender their spectrum is not marketplace forces at work, but the government forcing the marketplace to a desired result. Proponents of wireless broadband must have little confidence in their value proposition if they feel they can come out ahead only if they first devalue broadcast facilities by imposing yet more legal and financial burdens on broadcasters.

Senate Disclose Act Bill Raises Serious Concerns For Broadcasters
Last month, the House of Representatives passed the DISCLOSE Act (“Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act”), H.R. 5175. The bill responds to the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission which held that corporations (and presumably unions and other associations) have a constitutional right to make independent expenditures in election campaigns. The bill would, if it becomes law, impose significant new disclosure requirements related to political expenditures, prohibit government contractors from making campaign expenditures, and ban such expenditures by U.S. corporations owned 20% or more by foreign nationals or which have certain other foreign ties.
The Senate’s companion DISCLOSE Act bill, S. 3295, was introduced on April 29 by Senators Schumer, Feingold, Wyden, Bayh and Franken, and remains pending at this time. The focus of this commentary is on a provision in the Senate bill, but not the House version, that we believe has the potential to have a very significant adverse impact on broadcast station revenues from federal election advertising.
In our previous discussions of the DISCLOSE Act here and here, we pointed out that the Senate bill would allow national committees of any political party (including a national congressional campaign committee of a party) to take advantage of Lowest Unit Charge (LUC) rights previously only available to legally qualified candidates or their official committees. Similarly, it would extend Reasonable Access rights to national party committees which are now only available to federal candidates. In addition, it would effectively make all federal candidate and party committee advertising non-preemptible, regardless of the class of advertising purchased. Stations would also be required to promptly list all requests of candidates and party committees to purchase time on the stations’ web sites.
While troublesome, these and other provisions in the DISCLOSE Act pale in significance, in our view, to the proposed amendment to the LUC provisions of Section 315 of the Communications Act. Under Section 315, as currently in effect, legally qualified candidates for elective office are entitled to receive during specified pre-election periods “the lowest unit charge of the station for the same class and amount of time for the same period” that is then clearing on a station. Under the Senate version of the DISCLOSE Act, federal candidates and party committees (but not state or local candidates) would be entitled to receive the “lowest charge of the station for the same amount of time that was offered at any time during the 180 days preceding the date of use.”
This is troublesome for two reasons. First, the bill eliminates the “same class” and “same period” provisions in current law. Because “class” refers to the level of preemption protection which the advertiser has purchased, federal candidates and committees would be entitled to obtain non-preemptible status while paying rates that commercial advertisers would pay for immediately preemptible spots. Similarly, because “period” refers to the day part or rotation involved, stations could not charge more to federal candidates and committees for the most desirable spot placement – fixed position in prime or drive time – than they charge commercial advertisers for the same length spot that runs in the least desirable time period or rotation – late night or run of schedule (ROS).
Second, the new 180 day look-back provision means that stations will be required to give federal candidates and committees the lowest rate that has run on the station in the past half year, rather than which is currently running on the station. Therefore, if the LUC period occurs during a period of strong advertising demand, or a station has increased its rates due to extrinsic factors, such as improved programming or a format change, the station will still be required to give federal candidates and committees preferential rates that no other advertiser can currently obtain.
We view these provisions, if adopted, as creating a perfect storm for broadcasters. The number of entities entitled to reasonable access and lowest unit charge rights will be greatly expanded. Stations will be required to give non-preemptible access to federal candidates and national party committees in their most desirable time periods at their lowest rates for any advertising. Rather than election years being seen as a period of enhanced revenues for broadcasters, this provision might well cause election years to be viewed as a major drag on station revenues.
For some reason, this proposal to dramatically change the prevailing law has received little publicity in the press or in releases from proponents or opponents of the bill. A little sunshine on this part of the bill appears appropriate.

Indecency Ruling Changes the Game
In light of today’s decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit invalidating the FCC’s indecency policy, it would be hard to justify writing about anything else. From my first days as a young lawyer screening programs before they were aired (I still remember assessing the legalities of airing a live satellite feed of “Carnaval” from Rio) to defending stations accused of airing indecent programming in FCC enforcement actions, the FCC’s indecency policy has been an ever-present, ever-broadening part of the practice. While the definition of indecency has remained largely constant (“language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, sexual or excretory organs or activities”), its interpretation has always been a moving target.
When the Supreme Court originally found that requiring indecent content to be channeled into late-night hours was constitutional, it did so based upon a narrow view of what qualified as indecent content (basically George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words” routine) and the assurance of the FCC that restrained enforcement would protect First Amendment concerns. Over the next twenty years or so, broadcasters programmed accordingly, and with a few exceptions, broadcasters and the FCC learned to coexist on the issue of indecency.
However, the rise of cable television placed immense pressure on both television and radio broadcasters to more precisely map the boundary between “decent” and “indecent” content. While most broadcasters remained determined to stay on the “decent” side of that line, they could no longer afford to remain at such a safe distance from that line as to be deemed “fogey programming” by a generation of consumers that did not distinguish between broadcast programming and cable programming. To these viewers, all channels are equal, and whether programming arrives by cable, satellite, or antenna is beside the point. To reach this audience, many programmers struggled mightily to make their programming more edgy and relevant to young adults. This programming stayed clear of Carlin’s seven dirty words, and focused more on situation and entendre to engage its audience.
In response, the FCC stepped onto a slippery slope, seeking to broaden its interpretation of indecency by expanding its view of what constitutes “patently offensive” material. The FCC was not prepared for the mission it undertook. What at first appeared to be a slippery slope of line drawing quickly became a well-greased plunge into the abyss of eternal peril. Those filing complaints at the FCC often urged the agency, as a practical matter, to forget that indecency must be patently offensive and instead sought action against content that was merely offensive to the complainant. The result has been a gut-wrenching high speed slalom down the slippery slope, resulting in the FCC’s headfirst encounter today with the large oak doors of the Second Circuit’s courtroom.
Although the court based today’s ruling on a finding that the FCC’s interpretation of indecency is impermissibly vague, and therefore chilling of protected speech, the problem actually goes far deeper than that. Some of the greatest damage to free speech has resulted from complaints where just about everyone, including the FCC, would agree that indecency is not present. While baseless complaints were once met with a prompt and pleasant FCC letter notifying the complainant that the subject of their complaint was categorically not indecent, the FCC in later years treated every complaint even mentioning the word “indecency” as a reason to put a hold on that station’s license renewal or sale application for literally years until the FCC could investigate the complaint. In the meantime, these stations struggled, as a delayed license renewal made obtaining financing difficult, and a delayed sale often meant that the contract to sell the station expired before the FCC could resolve the indecency complaint and approve the sale. Under these circumstances, it is pretty easy to see how a station would be hesitant to say anything offensive to anyone, even without the potential for a $325,000 indecency fine.
Among the “indecency” complaints I have encountered that were holding up a station’s applications at the FCC was a complaint from a politician who didn’t like what a station said about him (apparently using the word “indecent” in his complaint got it put into the indecency pile), and a complaint that a Spanish word yelled at soccer matches when a goal is scored sounds too much like a bad word in English. When such complaints are allowed to languish or become the basis of a pointless inquiry, they interfere with the operations of a station, serve to chill future speech, and create a “bunker mentality” among broadcasters that anything they say will be held against them.
So where does this leave us? Well, as a pragmatic matter, the court’s ruling will not become effective until it issues its mandate, and the FCC may ask that the court delay taking that action while the FCC seeks a rehearing en banc or review by the Supreme Court. If the court’s ruling does become effective, it will apply only within the jurisdiction of the Second Circuit (which includes Connecticut, New York and Vermont). Both legally and politically, the FCC will feel compelled to pursue an appeal, and the result of that effort will determine the future of its indecency enforcement efforts across the US.
That places the FCC in a very high stakes game of poker. Does it place an ever larger bet on trying to defend its existing policy? If it does, it runs the risk that the Supreme Court will rule that the very notion of indecency enforcement is unconstitutional in light of a changing media landscape and the FCC’s seeming inability to apply a narrow and restrained enforcement policy. Or, does it fold this hand and return to the table later with a “back to basics” indecency policy similar to what was once found constitutional by the Supreme Court? One thing’s for certain–for the first time in a long time, broadcasters are holding all the right cards in this game.

Bonus Spots, No Charge Spots, and the Lowest Unit Charge
We are frequently asked by broadcasters during the political season whether they are required to provide political candidates with free spot availabilities because they are running “free” or “no charge” spots for commercial advertisers. These spots, of course, are really not free at all. They have a cost, but it is hidden in the cost of the other spots in the package.
The FCC has said that bonus spots to churches, charities, non-profit organizations and governmental entities do not need to be considered for purposes of computing a station’s lowest unit charge (LUC). Thus, the bonus spots (or PSAs) given an organization such as the Office of National Drug Control Policy — which required one free spot for every paid spot — do not affect stations’ LUC.
Much more common are the bonus spots that are given to a for-profit commercial advertiser as an inducement to enter into a package deal. For example, a radio station may offer an additional 20 Run-of-Schedule (ROS) spots for no additional charge to commercial advertisers who enter into a package deal to buy 20 drive time spots at full rate card price.
Sometimes these are listed simply as “bonus spots,” and no price is allocated to the spot at all. In such cases, the station is required to divide the total number of spots of all types in the package into the total consideration paid to compute the price for each spot in the package, including the “no charge” spots. So, if a radio station charges $1,000 for a package consisting of 20 drive time spots (shown on the invoice as $50 each) and 20 ROS spots (shown on the invoice as “bonus”), the FCC would divide the total number of spots (20+20=40) into the total package price ($1000) and say that the rate for LUC purposes of both the drive time and ROS spots is $25 each. This may well be lower than any drive time spot running on the station, and higher than any ROS spot. Because candidates may “cherry pick” spots in a package, and buy only one at the package rate, this leads to a very harsh result, because a candidate would be able to buy one or many drive time spots at the low $25 rate without having to buy any ROS spots.
In other cases, the advertising contracts for such package deals list price for the bonus spots as “no charge,” “free” or “$0.00.” While the FCC has said that it would not rule out the possibility that a station could assign a value of “zero” to a bonus spot, it said that such assignment would have to be based on the station’s normal commercial sales practices. Moreover, listing a bonus spot as free would trigger a requirement that the station make the spots available to candidates at no cost. In our experience, few, if any stations are in the business of giving away free advertising — at least unless tied to the purchase of full priced spots.
To avoid these traps, the station should put a price on each spot in the package, without changing the total package price. For example, if the station were to assign a price of $48 to each drive time spot, and $2 to each ROS spot, the charge to the customer stays the same, and the station has preserved the rates of its most valuable time. And, because most candidates want their ads to appear in better time periods, we believe it is unlikely that candidates would purchase ROS even at these low rates.
It is best that these rates be shown on the station’s contracts and invoices. However, the FCC recognizes that advertisers and agencies want to believe they are receiving “something for nothing” even though we all know there is no such thing as a free lunch. Therefore, stations are permitted to create a contract and invoice showing the “no charge” rate in a package, so long as there is a contemporaneous memo attached to the contract in the station’s records (but not sent to the advertiser or agency) that allocates the rates properly (in this case, $48 and $2), is signed and dated and can be produced upon request by the FCC. By doing so the station can send a contract and subsequent invoice to a commercial advertiser showing a “no charge” rate, while preserving the maximum value for the station’s best spots. These memos should be created, signed and dated at the time the contract is executed.
Stations should consult counsel as to how to deal with outstanding advertising packages that list spots as “free” or “no charge.”

TODAY: Georgia General Assembly to Hold Redistricting Hearing on Draft Maps
11.4.2021 / 12:30 PM
Aunna Dennis (202)644-6500 [email protected]
The members of the state’s Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee are convening for a meeting on their proposed district maps that will be live streamed this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. The meeting is the first and only opportunity for the public to provide testimony on draft maps before they are signed into law for the next ten years.
Common Cause Georgia will underscore the overall lack of transparency in the current process, advocate for additional public hearings before maps are approved, and highlight how the proposed maps slice and dice communities, making it more difficult for those areas to receive the representation and resources they need to thrive.

Below is the prepared testimony of Common Cause Georgia Executive Director Aunna Dennis.
“Thank you for the opportunity to testify today. My name is Aunna Dennis and I am the Executive Director of Common Cause Georgia. For decades, Common Cause has advocated on behalf of our members, supporters, and all Georgians for a fair, transparent, accessible redistricting process that results in truly representative maps.
Redistricting in Georgia has historically been conducted in a secretive process, where the interests of partisan operatives and party leaders were prioritized over the interests of everyday Georgians. We deserve better. It is past time for Georgia to come together and demand fair and transparent maps that don’t divide our communities and dilute our voting power.
In addition to the partisan machinations of previous redistricting cycles, there has also been a sustained and historical attempt to silence the voices of voters of color, particularly African-American voters. This has been accomplished by intentionally diluting African-American voting strength, particularly in districts that are held by African-American elected officials. Vote dilution most commonly occurs when those who draw redistricting plans compress minority communities into a small number of districts (packing) or spread them thinly into a large number of districts (cracking or splitting). Cracking and Packing has become a huge concern in cities of Lawrenceville, and Stonecrest, with Richmond, Muscogee, Fulton, Henry, and Cobb Counties having the most “cracked” state house districts.
Here in Georgia, the white population decreased by .96% with an overall state population falling from 55.88% to 50.06%. However, Fulton County has experienced an increase in gentrification as more whites move from rural areas to the Atlanta metropolitan areas, and Hispanics now make up 10% of Georgia’s population. These significant demographic changes must be represented in the final, enacted voting maps.
We are deeply concerned that the patterns of the past are repeating themselves in 2021. The maps that have been presented solidify racial voter polarization while impacting precinct allocations. This is very harmful when we look toward the 2024 election. Mapping lines should not be used to manipulate local delegations to secure future federal wins. This is particularly concerning given the fact that preclearance is no longer in effect, which means that there is no mechanism to check the Georgia General Assembly maps prior to enactment. This is further exacerbated by the way this redistricting process has moved forward.
While we appreciate that you held hearings before the maps were drawn, today’s hearing is the only opportunity for Georgians to testify on the proposed maps. These proposed maps were released less than three days ago, several hours after they were promised, and during a time when most Georgians were focused on something else, which provides insufficient time for advocates and members of the public to fully analyze the maps in order to provide you with meaningful comments. Further, our understanding is that these maps are slated to be voted on tomorrow which does not give you, as members of the General Assembly, sufficient time to digest and incorporate the public feedback that you are receiving today.
For purposes of our testimony today, given the short amount of time available for analysis, Common Cause focused on general, statewide concerns, along with a deeper understanding of how the proposed district lines impacted four cities: Lawrenceville, Stonecrest, Newnan, and Fayetteville. In each of these cities, district lines divide up the cities and the communities contained within them. These divisions will intimately impact not only the voting experience of Georgians in those communities (who they can vote for, where their polling places are), but will also impact the representation and resources available to them.
Statewide concerns:
First, compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a legally mandatory minimum when adopting new maps. Achieving VRA compliance requires the judicious use of racial data and previous election results in order to conduct a racially polarized voting analysis. We strongly encourage the Georgia General Assembly to make their results of this analysis public.
Further, we encourage the Georgia General Assembly to view compliance with the VRA as a floor, not a ceiling, when it comes to ensuring that Indigenous, African-American, Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander and other communities of color have an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice. The Georgia General Assembly should, with significant public input from organizations and communities of color, consider whether drawing opportunity districts, coalition districts, or influence districts could ultimately increase the voting power and representation of communities of color who have historically been sidelined or used as pawns in the redistricting process.
Second, we are concerned about the impact of splitting voting precincts on election administration and voter experience. As you know, when a precinct is split into multiple districts, election administration becomes more complicated. Voters may be confused about which district they are in, which leads to slower processing times and longer lines. Elections officials need to manage multiple ballots, rather than just one, which again, increases the complexity of their work. Especially in cases where voters have been moved from one district to another, we are concerned about increased voter confusion and challenges in election administration. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to minimize precinct splits to only those that are necessary to achieve substantially equal population.
Impact of Proposed Maps on Select Cities
At its core, the purpose of redistricting should be to ensure that every Georgian has an equal opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. This means that, among other things, districts must be mostly equal in population, comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and keep communities whole as much as possible. We know that people’s first connection to politics is at the local level. Decisions made by local elected officials intimately affect every part of our lives. Additionally, local politics is often a stepping stone for emerging leaders. It’s a place for community leaders to run in smaller elections to build their skills and political power in hopes of someday representing their community in the Georgia General Assembly or the U.S. Congress. Accordingly, the impact of redistricting on these communities is about more than just immediate resources and political power; it is about building toward better representation in the future.
To determine how the proposed maps would impact Georgia communities, we took a closer look at four municipalities: Lawrenceville, Stonecrest, Newnan, and Fayetteville. Each of these municipalities have a growing Black population and each have been the subject of testimony by community members during the redistricting hearings.
Lawrenceville:
Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett County and generally considered a suburb of Atlanta. It has a population of approximately 30,000 people. As you can see from this map, it is split into four senate districts. This means that the people of Lawrenceville may struggle to have full representation since it makes up only a small part of each of the four districts.
Stonecrest is a relatively new city, which was incorporated in 2017. It is located in the southern part of Dekalb County and has a rapidly growing population. The vast majority of the population in Stonecrest in Black.
As you can see from the map, the proposed House map divides the city of Stonecrest into four separate districts. This is especially concerning given the majority Black population and the fact that the city itself was founded to ensure the interests of the people who lived in this previously unincorporated area.
Newnan:
Newnan is a city in the metro Atlanta area and is the county seat of Coweta County with a population of over 42,000. As with our other example cities, it is split into two separate house districts, district 70 and 73. Additionally, it was moved into a different congressional district.
Of all the examples that we looked at, Fayetteville is the most concerning. Not only is Fayetteville split between two counties, it is also split into four House districts (districts 68, 69, 73 and 74) and two Congressional districts (3 and 13). Fayetteville is the smallest of the municipalities we looked at with a population of under 20,000. Nevertheless, it is divided into multiple districts, leaving residents without someone who is primarily tasked with representing them. Additionally, the demographics of Fayetteville are changing – with the quickly growing Black population primarily located in the south of the city. Notably, Fayetteville did not elect its first Black mayor until 2015. Local politics are often the stepping stone to higher office and are concerned that dividing up the city of Fayetteville into multiple House and Congressional districts may make it more difficult for candidates from Fayetteville to run and win in those districts.
One final note: Redistricting works best when people, not political operatives are at the center of the process. That’s why it is essential that (1) there are accessible opportunities for meaningful public input into all the local redistricting processes; and (2) every Georgian pays attention and participates in the local and state redistricting processes.
We understand that there are significant political impacts to redistricting. The way our district lines are drawn can dictate the outcomes of elections for one party or the other. And that’s important, particularly given the serious issues at hand as well as the heightened political polarization. However, at its core, redistricting should be about the people of Georgia and creating districts where they can elect candidates of their choice. For Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian/Pacific Islander and other communities of color who have traditionally been left out of the process or, worse, used as pawns for partisan operatives, this is even more important.
We strongly encourage the Georgia General Assembly to commit to fair, transparent, and community driven maps that protects communities of Black, Latinx, AAPI, Indigenous and other communities of color who rarely have a seat at the table.”

Czech Republic Visa, EU Cards, Czech Residency Permits
We provide our clients with a full range of services in the field of Czech alien law, which is itself a very broad area. Our team will be able to assist you with every step of the process in order for you to have all the necessary documents in place and help you to realize your plans.
Foreign citizens (other than from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) must obtain a visa in order to reside in the Czech Republic. Citizens from countries with which the Czech Republic has an agreement to abolish visa obligations or for which the visa obligation was abolished by a Czech government directive (e.g. Japan, USA), may reside in the Czech Republic without a visa for up to 3 months. However, if the purpose of residence is to earn money (e.g. employment), then the foreign citizen must apply for a Czech Republic work permit and a visa (e.g. for the purpose of employment). Depending on the intended length of his/her stay, the foreign citizen applies for either a short-term or long-term visa. If the foreign citizen intends to stay in the Czech Republic for the purpose of employment he/she must first apply for a work permit.
Effective 1 May 2004 (when the Czech Republic entered the European Union), EU citizens may stay and work in the Czech Republic without a permit, only on the basis of a travel document (passport) or identity card. An EU citizen, under certain circumstances, is entitled to file an application for a temporary residency permit (EU Card). These situations include registration in the commercial register as the person performing the function of member of a company’s statutory body, working contract in the Czech Republic, marriage of Czech citizen, property purchase in the Czech Republic, etc. Temporary residency permit allows holders to obtain real estate properties in their own name, to register a car in the Czech Republic, etc.
At Companies.cz we offer following Czech Republic visa services:
Short-term Visa
Long-term Visa
Working permit
EU Cards (residency permits for EU citizens)
An EU citizen can apply for a temporary EU card, which enables the purchase of property in the Czech Republic under his or her own name. We can apply for the EU Card on client’s behalf, however client has to come to Prague (Mo – Thu) in person in order to collect the EU Card which will be issued within 30 days after the application is submitted. We strongly advise clients to come to Prague at least 1 day before collection of the EU card. General documents needed for EU card:
3 passport pictures
Original passport – a copy of the passport should be sent in advance via email
Original health Insurance Card valid in the Czech Republic
Ideally filled in Purchase Contract or Future Purchase Contract – fully signed by the seller and the buyer
Proof of residential accommodation
EU Cards are issued by the Czech Government, there is no legal guarantee of getting the Czech residency permit (Czech authorities are also empowered to ask the client for an interview). However, all clients of Companies.cz have thus far received their EU Cards without a problem.

Swiss-European mobility programme (SEMP)
Following the suspension of negotiations with the EU to join the Erasmus+ programme, the Federal Council has adopted a transitional solution to continue to allow students, teachers and administrative staff of the institutions to implement exchange projects in Europe.
The “Swiss-European mobility programme” (SEMP) will enable exchanges between Switzerland and universities in Erasmus+ countries with an Erasmus+ University Charter.
Funds provided by the Confederation will be used to finance both outgoing mobility costs and the costs of foreign participants in Swiss mobility projects (incoming). Payment of these costs is, however, subject to the guidelines of the Swiss National Agency and the number of grants made available annually.
More information is available on the website of the State Office for training, research and innovation (SEFRI) and on the website of the National Agency (Movezia)
The SEMP programme offers three types of mobility:
Student mobility for study purposes (SMS)
Lecturer mobility for teaching purposes (STA)
Mobility for lecturers and staff for continuing training (STT)
The University School of Music does not accept applications for student mobility for placements.
Funding is set by the National Agency (Movetia) from year to year and can be found on the Agency's website (click on “Contributions for incoming and outgoing mobility”).
Student mobility for study purposes
The programme allows students to spend a period of study (1 or 2 academic semester) at a university school in another European country. Applications for student mobility for study purposes must comply with the following conditions:
SUM STUDENTS
Applications must be submitted no later than 31 March of each year for the following academic year.
Applications must be submitted by the deadline of each partner institution.
All applications must be accompanied by:
application form (AEC template accepted);
letter of motivation;
curriculum vitae academic;
video recording (see details in pdf format);
learning agreement proposal.
Other documentation will be requested once the application has been accepted.
Partner institutions have specific requirements, but usually the following documentation is requested:
application form;
recording;
Students may contact Hernando Florez for assistance in completing the forms.
We accept applications in one of the following ways:
Via email, sent by the Erasmus coordinator of the partner institution;
Via EASY, for institutions which use this system.
Each partner institution has their own application procedure. Students may contact Hernando Florez for further details.
Incoming applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by a special committee and the final decision is made by the end of June.
The decision on outgoing applications depends on the partner school.
Lecturer mobility for teaching purposes
The programme also allows lecturers at the Conservatorio University School of Music to carry out educational activities in a partner school and vice versa. This teaching activity includes at least eight hours of lessons and can last up to a maximum of six weeks. Applications for this type of mobility must comply with the following conditions:
INCOMING (EU to CH)
OUTGOING (CH to EU)
Incoming applications are assessed in two different ways depending on the type of educational activity. Masterclass applications are forwarded to the relevant lecturers who decide, in agreement with the head of studies, whether or not the masterclass can be included in the curriculum of the following academic year. All other applications (e.g. for theoretical seminars) must be accompanied by a detailed description of the proposed seminar (description, learning objectives, methodologies, materials required, etc.) and will be evaluated by a special committee.
Outgoing STA applications must meet the criteria of the host partner school. SUM lecturers are asked to contact Hernando Florez for more detailed information.
Funding agreement
Mobility agreement
Confirmation letter
All receipts relating to transport costs for both outward and return journeys must be attached to this documentation.
Depending on the type of application, a response will be given between March and June of the current academic year.
Confirmations are issued based on the criteria and timetables of the host partner school.
Mobility for lecturers and staff for continuing training
This programme allows the staff of the Conservatoire University School of Music (lecturers and associates) to spend a period of training (between 3 working days and 6 weeks) at a company, organisation or higher education institution in another participating country.
The candidate must submit a plan of work to their own institute, which must first be approved by their supervisor and the SUM director, and then by the host company/institute. The programme does not fund language courses and conferences.
Applications for this type of mobility must comply with the following conditions:
Applications may be submitted at any time, but no later than two months before the date of departure. The teaching and administrative staff of the University School must state their intention to undertake an STT by February 28th each year.
The candidate must submit a proposed plan of work that will be examined and, if appropriate, amended by the relevant person. The candidate should draw up a list of questions and expectations to be used as a basis for drawing up a possible training offer.
The candidate must submit a detailed plan of work which must include at least the following elements: overall purpose and objectives, expected outcomes of training or learning activities and a programme for the period of mobility.
Depending on the type of application, as response should be issued within one or two months.
The application must be agreed with the direct superior and approved by the SUM director. Confirmation of the application will also depend on the company, organisation or partner institute that will be hosting the candidate.

Ageism and Discrimination, Housing and Accomodation, Transport
January has been a busy month in the policy space, with submissions to two Victorian inquiries and and on the Australian Government’s Religious Discrimination Bill 2019.
Inquiry into Homelessness in Victoria
Our recent submission to the inquiry highlighted the steadily increasing number of older people who are homeless. For growing numbers of older people, safe and secure housing is becoming out of reach. Today, one in seven people experiencing homelessness is over the age of 55, and older single women are now the fastest growing group of people experiencing homelessness in Australia. We know that there is a direct relationship between the security, affordability and quality of housing and a person’s health and wellbeing. Homelessness – and the threat of homelessness – makes it harder for older people to receive proper health and aged care, and to contribute to and participate in their communities.
Homelessness can also lead to elder abuse. Seniors Rights Victoria’s submission focuses on elder abuse as both a cause and consequence of homelessness.
The deadline for submissions has been extended to 31 March 2020. Read more about the inquiry.
Inquiry into the Increase in Victoria’s Road Toll
Increasing fatalities on Victoria’s roads is the focus of another parliamentary inquiry, which is investigating the causes of the current road toll and the adequacy of Victoria’s road safety approaches. As detailed in our submission, COTA Victoria believes it is time to take a public health approach to planning for future trends. Our ageing population should be a major consideration in determining road safety priorities and investment decisions.
Pedestrian fatalities are a key issue. More than 400 pedestrians have lost their lives on Victorian roads in the last ten years, one-third of them aged 70 years or over. People aged 65+ make up only 15% of the population, but account for 39% of pedestrian fatalities. Action is needed on a number of fronts to reduce high fatality figures for both walkers and bike riders.
Second exposure draft of the Religious Discrimination Bill 2019
The Australian Government is consulting on the second exposure draft of its Religious Discrimination Bill 2019. We are deeply concerned that the proposed legislation overrides existing Commonwealth, state and territory anti-discrimination laws.
Under the proposed legislation, LGBTIQ older people cannot be technically ‘refused’ a service on the basis of religious belief, however, the expression of views by staff can cause harm and create barriers to access. COTA’s submission notes that the Bill’s provisions may still allow discrimination and the expression of views and harassment against groups of older people seeking access to public services and facilities – including aged care services. In its current form, the bill appears to value workers’ rights to freely express religious values and beliefs over residents’ rights to live in a safe environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. We are also concerned that the legislation would effectively override no-cost remedies that already exist at the state level, severely limiting the ability of older people to uphold their rights.

Ex-Official Says SAG Pension Plan Defamed Him
Matt Reynolds / December 21, 2012
LOS ANGELES (CN) - A former Screen Actors Guild official claims in court that the SAG pension fund defamed him in a letter to thousands of members, "shortly after he reported illegal misconduct and improper behavior of Bruce Dow," CEO of the SAG pension plan.
Craig Simmons sued the SAG-Producers Pension and Health Plans in Superior Court. The Screen Actors Guild itself is not a party to the lawsuit.
Simmons' lawsuit follows a wrongful termination claim he filed against the SAG pension fund in March.
Simmons' new lawsuit repeats many of the allegations from that complaint, but this time alleges only defamation.
Simmons, a former executive director of human resources, claimed that CEO Bruce Dow asked him to lie to a U.S. Department of Labor official investigating whether Dow had paid his brother-in-law as a "phantom employee," and gave insurance business to his wife.
Simmons, who claims he was suspended and fired for refusing to help Dow, accuses his former boss of underreporting millions of dollars embezzled by an employee, and passing on the pension plans' investment information to another organization he headed, the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
Dow made unspecified "false accusations against" Simmons and then fired him on March 25, after Simmons complained to the SAG Pension and Health Plans' board of trustees, according to the new complaint.
The pension plans, which control roughly $2.5 billion in assets, concluded that Simmons' claims were unfounded, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2011.
"(O)n December 22, 2011, the SAG-PPHP [Producers Pension and Health Plans] board of trustees delivered a letter to thousands SAG plan participants. In this letter, the board of trustees claimed that an independent investigator found that most of plaintiff's allegations were false," Simmons' new complaint states. "Plaintiff is informed and believes that the board of trustees wrote this letter knowing that plaintiff's allegations against Dow were true. However, the board of trustees wrote this letter to the SAG plan participants, in an attempt to protect the SAG-PPHP against a lawsuit by plaintiff. In short, the board of trustees was 'circling the wagons.' The board of trustees signed the letter and ratified its contents by their collective action."
SAG Pension and Health Plans later conceded that a former employee may have misappropriated $2 million, according to The Wrap, an online magazine that covers Hollywood.
Simmons came under scrutiny for allegedly directing money from the fund to his husband's [sic] marketing company, Fortress Communications, according to an October 2011 article in the Los Angeles Times.
The Wrap article reported that Simmons dismissed those allegations as a "false smokescreen."
Dow resigned his post as CEO of the SAG Pension and Health Plans in April, according to another industry website, Deadline Hollywood.
Simmons seeks damages and punitive damages, and costs, for defamation.
He is represented by Gregory Smith of Beverly Hills.
SAG Pension and Health Plans declined to comment.

Rain delayed the start time by an hour, and the game was not worth the wait.
I will not dwell too much on the awful third inning, other than to say that that type of play is not acceptable at any time of the year, never mind in early May after an off day. And that if a fireworks display causes enough smoke to disrupt play, maybe it's a good idea to at the very least tone it down.
Ubaldo Jimenez's line:
4.2 IP, 8 H, 7 R (4 ER), 6 BB, 1 SO, 2 HR, 105 Pitches (54 Strikes)
This came against one of the weaker offenses in the league. US Cellular is an easy park to hit home runs in, but Jimenez's problem yet again was walks and low velocity. His fastballs were only in the low 90s, and you can't get away with that combination against any kind of offense. If Ubaldo pitches this way on Sunday, his outing's going to shorter than 4.2 innings, since he'll be facing the Texas Rangers. And after Texas, he's going to face the Boston Red Sox. And if there's no disruption in the rotation, he'll be facing the Detroit Tigers four starts from now. The lineups he's going to face over the next three weeks are going to be much more patient, and they're going to know that he can't find the strike zone.
Jimenez has never been a control guy, but he's made up for it with lots and lots of strikeouts and very few home runs, thanks to overpowering stuff. His stuff isn't overpowering now so his strikeout rate is 4.5, half of what it usually is. Some of that I suppose could be chalked up to he being behind in the count all the time, but he just isn't getting swings and misses. I'm not pressing the panic button just yet, but my finger is just inches above it.
Manny Acta emptied the bench again tonight, which he tends to do against a left-handed pitcher. Carlos Santana made the start at first base (thankfully giving Casey Kotchman the night off) but there was a lot of breathing space for starter Chris Sale. He didn't breeze through the Tribe lineup as in his first start, but he didn't have too much trouble, especially after the Indians gifted the Sox four runs in the third. Shelley Duncan, who will be losing playing time now that Johnny Damon is on the roster, had his best offensive night in a while, going 2-for-3 with a double and a home run. Batters 1-5 went a collective 0-for-20 with no walks, so I'm not going to blame the bench guys for the lack of offense.
As mentioned above, the Indians added Johnny Damon to the roster before the game. At least initially, he's going to be the leadoff hitter, and he's going to be the left fielder, relegating Shelley Duncan into a reserve role. I'm not sure what to make of Damon batting leadoff, especially given all the unknowns that come with a 38-year-old player who didn't participate in spring training. Acta's reasons:
"Other than the .350-plus on-base percentage that he has lifetime?" Acta said. "Other than that? And the close to 3,000 hits he's got? And the fact that over the last three years he's hit lefties even better than righties? What, the beard? The hair? What else do you want me to give you?"
With Damon in the lineup, the Indians will have against right-handed pitchers zero right-handed bats. So there aren't really too many ways to arrange the lineup without having 3-4 non-switch hitters in a row for left-handed relievers to face in the late innings.

Effort To Pursue Assault-Style Weapons Ban Lacks Key Allies At The Colorado Capitol
· Apr. 9, 2021, 4:00 am

Rep. Tom Sullivan speaks during a vigil for victims of gun violence on the Capitol steps, Aug. 4, 2019.
Updated 7:30 a.m.
Any major push to pass an assault-style weapon's ban in Colorado is looking increasingly less likely, with the legislature's highest-profile advocate for stricter gun laws saying now isn't the time.
“It diverts all of the attention,” said Democratic Rep. Tom Sullivan of Centennial.
Instead, Sullivan wants to focus efforts on policies he believes would be more effective at preventing gun violence. Technology, he said, can circumvent bans on specific types of weapons.
“They work around it, with printers at home, or ordering piece by piece, that has no serial number on it,” he said. “And they manufacture something that could be deemed an assault weapon.”
These so-called "ghost guns" are one of the items President Joe Biden announced executive action on from the White House. The president is also looking at model legislation on a national "red flag" law and regulations on stabilizing braces.
Sullivan got involved with politics after his son Alex was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. He's sponsored several gun bills, including Colorado’s 2019 red flag law and one this session to require people to report lost and stolen firearms. He worries that if members of his party introduced a bill to ban assault-style weapons, it will make it harder to pass other reforms.
“I've had this conversation, since the day Alex was murdered,” Sullivan said about the debate about what policies to push for. “It’s a slow process, again, like all of the major changing legislation that is gripping our country, from voters rights and women's rights and LGBTQ rights, civil rights and racial equality. Those all take a lot of time. And, you know, I believe that we're on the right path.”
10 Questions You Asked About Firearms And Gun Laws In Colorado, Answered
For a ban to be effective, Sullivan believes it would have to happen at the federal level.
“I mean, if we were to ban something here, it'd be very easy to go to any of the surrounding states.”
Some Democratic lawmakers began discussing the possibility of pushing for a ban after 10 people were killed at the Table Mesa King Soopers in Boulder on March 22. The accused gunman allegedly used a Ruger AR-556 pistol, with a brace that makes it operate more like a rifle.
Democratic Gov. Jared Polis told CPR’s Colorado Matters that he is not focused on the type of firearm that was used in the massacre. Instead, Polis would like Colorado to strengthen universal background checks.
“What's striking from this case is — how was this young man, who had a prior history of violent offense, able to legally buy a gun?” asked Polis. “I think he had two guns, right? I'm not concerned about the model of the gun at this point. Why was he able to buy a weapon when he had a recent conviction for a violent offense?”
The accused shooter, Ahmad Alissa, was arrested in 2017 on a misdemeanor assault charge, pled guilty and spent a year on probation. That criminal history was not enough to prohibit him from legally buying a gun under current Colorado law.
Polis said he wants lawmakers to discuss what would have “the biggest impact on keeping people safe.”
“Let's look at the classification of violent offense that prohibits you from purchasing a gun, at least for a period of time, maybe a decade, maybe five years.”
Before It’s Even Introduced, Colorado Gun Owners Want Dems To Know They Oppose An Assault Weapons Ban
Colorado passed universal background checks in 2013, after the shootings in Aurora and at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut. That year the state also passed a high capacity magazine ban. More recently, Polis signed the so-called “red flag” gun law that allows the courts to temporarily remove firearms from people who are determined to be a danger to themselves or others. Polis said that law could be even more effective.
“(It) could have been used in this instance. Family didn't know about it,” said Polis. “We need better outreach. It's been mostly used by law enforcement. We'd like to make sure that families know about it — when parents see their kid with a gun and they're worried about their mental state, and they're showing signs of risk, an extreme risk protection order can be a great tool.”
Even without Sullivan’s discouragement, moving forward with an assault weapons ban would be a tall order for Democrats in the state.
At least two other statehouse Democrats are likely to vote against any such bill. One of them is Senate President Leroy Garcia, who was among the few Democratic lawmakers to oppose the red flag law. He argued the policy does not respect the “rights of responsible gun owners.”
During a town hall shortly after the Boulder shooting, Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, whose district includes the King Soopers where the mass shooting occurred, alluded to how tough it would be to pass a ban, even with Democrats in charge of the state government.
“The Boulder County delegation, probably the vast majority of the Denver delegation, are supportive of the most absolute, most aggressive policies one could come up with when it comes to gun violence prevention,” Fenberg said. “Obviously to get it passed, we need more than just us.” | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2763 | {"url":

The Witch Movie Review Essay
For the better part of a year, The Witch was receiving universal praise on the indie circuit – thanks to positive reviews coming from Sundance and the Toronto film festival. As such, the momentum granted the film a wide theatrical release – when normally, such a low-budget production would find itself skipping straight to streaming, on-demand markets. And, perhaps that would have been best for everyone… In The Witch, written and directed by newcomer, Robert Eggers, Anya Tyalor-Joy stars as…
Horror And German Expressionism
The horror genre has evolved drastically over time. When one mentions horror today, they might imagine the screams of poor teenagers as all their guts are ripped from their bodies, or the unsettling tension created by the knowledge that evil lurks around characters that are oblivious. Over the years, horror has had to keep audiences on their toes and switch up their scaring tactics to kept the adrenaline pumping. But is the horror film dependent on the scares it provides, or the topic within the…
Jordan Peele
Jordan Peele’s film“Get Out”, the film showcases racial hypocrisy and white supremacy in modern day society. Best known for his appearance on the series “Key & Peele”, Jordan Peele made his directorial debut with a horror film that focuses on the life of a black man living in a white man’s world. Still keeping in touch with his comedic side, the movie was more lighthearted than a typical horror film. The film itself wasn't what scared people, yet it was the reality and message behind the film…
Literary Devices Used In Literature Essay
very much an uneasy feeling in the literature, as in that of a supernatural horror movie. Films such as The Blair Witch Project will use mythical elements as part of magical realism, in trying to make the audience process mentally; what is happening in the film. Many other horror and thriller genres use magical realism and especially dramatic irony as part of their themes. The old stereotype of a character in a horror film, going into a room when the audience knows there is a horrible creature…
Frankenstein Movie Vs Book
popular film, much less a breakout role for the unknown actor”, Boris Karloff, also known as Frankenstein (Biography.com). James Whale, and starred Colin Clive and Mae Clarke, which is based on the best-selling novel, Frankenstein, written by Shelley, released Frankenstein in 1931. It is a story of a young scientist trying to create life after one has died and the struggles and drama that come along with that.

Dracula And Frankenstein Comparison
One of my favorite subgenres of film is Classic Horror. It is such a specific genre, but they are so good. In particular, I love the ones coming out of Universal in the 1930s through 1950s. What I enjoy most about the genre is the extravagant characters, amazing set design, and the themes. The characters in these films are truly larger than life and nothing short of iconic. Bela Lugosi's Dracula is over-the-top in the most amazing ways. His voice and his costume will live in the halls of…
Gendered Tropes In Popular Culture: Film Analysis

What an audience sees in film would be considered to mirror how people construct themselves. Gender portrayals in the movies can often be based on continually perpetuated stereotypes and expectations of how people should act. Firstly, the two films that will be discussed in this essay come from a time where there were believed to be only two genders and sexes. One was…
Pan's Labyrinth Analysis
“real world” in the plot of this film. The depiction of real life as a more dangerous environment is another major problem with the escapist theme of Pan’s Labyrinth. Ofelia’s intersecting experiences between the Spanish Civil War and the Underworld define similar dangers that Ofelia must face as a child. Franco's Civil War was certainly a horrific event in Spanish history, yet the premise of escaping reality is not…
The Haunted Castle Film Analysis
The evolution of horror spans many centuries. Starting with the Silent Films of Georges Méliès with “ The Haunted Castle” to the newest innovations in horror such as Unfriended. In the late 1800’s something like The Haunted Castle was horrifying, but not at all by today 's standards. Our perception of horror has changed over the years with how our lives have changed drastically. We went from handmade products to factory style production, from horse and buggy to Formula One Racing. Our…
Would You Either Film Analysis
caretaker of. She chooses to shoot the guy and get the money, then goes home and finds her brother had killed himself because he didn’t want her to have to deal with him. Would You Rather is completely opposite from the average horror film. It is a realistic horror, one that is actually possible. The antagonist survives with no harm to him, and the movie was mainly set in a bright room, unlike the dim lighting of most movies. But the biggest difference comes in the type of fear given off. In…

Real Madrid demand apology from Blatter over Ronaldo remarks
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has described recent comments made by Fifa president Sepp Blatter about Cristiano Ronaldo as showing a “lack of respect” and revealed the Spanish giants have been in touch with the world governing body asking for a retraction.
Madrid have taken umbrage over Blatter’s response after being asked to compare Ronaldo with Barcelona star Lionel Messi while speaking at the Oxford Union last week.
Blatter said both players were exceptional but described Messi as a “good boy” before going on to say, in apparent reference to Ronaldo, that “one has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other”.
The FIFA president then concluded by saying he preferred Messi of the two players.
Ancelotti was asked about Blatter’s comments at his press conference ahead of Wednesday’s match with Sevilla, and was quoted as having said on Madrid’s official website: “I’m aware our president (Florentino Perez) has sent a letter to Fifa asking to retract what I consider to be a lack of respect to a very serious, very professional player.
“I’m completely in agreement with our president. I haven’t spoken with Cristiano about this. He’s trained very well today, as always. He’s shown every day that he’s a great player, serious and professional, respectful to everyone and he has to continue like that.”
Blatter’s comments came during a question and answer session at Oxford University on Friday where he was asked about Messi and Ronaldo.
Blatter started off by heaping praise on Messi, saying: “They are both exceptional players but they are totally different and football is about the difference of styles, because Lionel Messi is a good boy who every mother and father would like to have at home.
“He’s a good man, he’s very fast, he’s not exuberant, he’s playing well, he’s dancing, he’s a kind man, he’s a good boy.
“And that’s what makes him so popular and naturally he will always get a lot of goals because he is this nice man, and he plays well and scores goals.”
Then, when appearing to talk about Ronaldo, Blatter said “the other one, this is something else. The other one is like a commander on the field of play,” before the Fifa chief stood up from his chair and walked across the podium in comic fashion.
Blatter continued: “But this is the other side of football and that’s good to have such commanders on the field also. Because you don’t have the same attitude, and that gives life to football and one has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other, but that doesn’t matter…
“So I cannot say who is the best. The list (Ballon d’Or) will be published on Tuesday, and then the public will make the choice.
“I like both of them, but I prefer Messi.”
Ronaldo and Messi are both on a 23-man shortlist for Fifa’s Ballon d’Or award which was announced early on Tuesday morning, with the winner to be unveiled on January 13 in Zurich.
Messi has won the award for the last four years, with Ronaldo finishing runner-up to the Argentinian the last two times. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2768 | {"url": "https://www.cristianoronaldofan.net/real-madrid-demand-apology-from-blatter-over-ronaldo-remarks/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.cristianoronaldofan.net", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:59:30Z", "digest": "sha1:3EVNKBMH44UMPVJWEAZIBL2Z4O6PFZN4"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3049, 3049.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3049, 7331.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3049, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3049, 279.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3049, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3049, 264.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3049, 0.48382126]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3049, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3049, 0.03160454]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3049, 0.03160454]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3049, 0.03160454]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3049, 0.03160454]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3049, 0.00729335]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3049, 0.01215559]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3049, 0.01458671]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3049, 0.01232666]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3049, 0.05882353]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3049, 0.15100154]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3049, 0.5]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3049, 4.69201521]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3049, 0.00154083]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3049, 5.15022107]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3049, 526.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 322, 1.0], [322, 488, 1.0], [488, 690, 1.0], [690, 773, 1.0], [773, 1116, 1.0], [1116, 1381, 1.0], [1381, 1517, 1.0], [1517, 1778, 1.0], [1778, 1899, 1.0], [1899, 2051, 1.0], [2051, 2298, 1.0], [2298, 2577, 0.0], [2577, 2706, 1.0], [2706, 2749, 1.0], [2749, 2929, 1.0], [2929, 3049, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 322, 0.0], [322, 488, 0.0], [488, 690, 0.0], [690, 773, 0.0], [773, 1116, 0.0], [1116, 1381, 0.0], [1381, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1899, 0.0], [1899, 2051, 0.0], [2051, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2577, 0.0], [2577, 2706, 0.0], [2706, 2749, 0.0], [2749, 2929, 0.0], [2929, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 61, 9.0], [61, 322, 42.0], [322, 488, 26.0], [488, 690, 34.0], [690, 773, 14.0], [773, 1116, 57.0], [1116, 1381, 43.0], [1381, 1517, 22.0], [1517, 1778, 45.0], [1778, 1899, 23.0], [1899, 2051, 30.0], [2051, 2298, 45.0], [2298, 2577, 49.0], [2577, 2706, 25.0], [2706, 2749, 9.0], [2749, 2929, 32.0], [2929, 3049, 21.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 322, 0.0], [322, 488, 0.0], [488, 690, 0.0], [690, 773, 0.0], [773, 1116, 0.0], [1116, 1381, 0.0], [1381, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1899, 0.0], [1899, 2051, 0.0], [2051, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2577, 0.0], [2577, 2706, 0.0], [2706, 2749, 0.0], [2749, 2929, 0.02272727], [2929, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 61, 0.0], [61, 322, 0.0], [322, 488, 0.0], [488, 690, 0.0], [690, 773, 0.0], [773, 1116, 0.0], [1116, 1381, 0.0], [1381, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1778, 0.0], [1778, 1899, 0.0], [1899, 2051, 0.0], [2051, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2577, 0.0], [2577, 2706, 0.0], [2706, 2749, 0.0], [2749, 2929, 0.0], [2929, 3049, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 61, 0.06557377], [61, 322, 0.03831418], [322, 488, 0.04819277], [488, 690, 0.01485149], [690, 773, 0.07228916], [773, 1116, 0.02915452], [1116, 1381, 0.01886792], [1381, 1517, 0.04411765], [1517, 1778, 0.01915709], [1778, 1899, 0.00826446], [1899, 2051, 0.00657895], [2051, 2298, 0.02024291], [2298, 2577, 0.01075269], [2577, 2706, 0.04651163], [2706, 2749, 0.06976744], [2749, 2929, 0.04444444], [2929, 3049, 0.025]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3049, 0.9456107]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3049, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3049, 0.89683896]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3049, -149.39332151]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3049, 153.89056597]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3049, -206.74777671]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3049, 21.0]]} |

The Danube River
From the Danube to the Black Sea
The Sava
The Tisza
The Danube
The Danube is the longest river in Europe (after the Volga, but the latter has its source in Russia), and the longest running through the European Union. It starts in the Black Forest in Germany where two rivers, Brigach and Breg, meet at Donaueschingen; it is from this point that the river takes its name from Danube. The Danube measures approximately 2970 km from Donaueschingen and measures in fact 3019 km from its official source. It then flows east, and crosses several capitals of central, eastern and southern Europe (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade). It flows into the Black Sea via the Danube delta located in Romania and Ukraine, a delta on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
The Danube has been an important river route for centuries. Known in history as one of the borders of the Roman Empire, the river flows along the borders of ten countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.

The Tisza is a central European river and a tributary of the Danube. The Tisza is considered one of the richest fish rivers in Europe. It was on the banks of the Tisza that Attila the Hun died. The course of the Tisza is 1,378 km long, making it longer than the Rhine. However, the distance from its source as the crow flies is only 467 km. Its width varies from 160 to 320 meters. The Tisza comes from the forests of the Ukrainian Carpathians, at the junction of the White Tisza and the Black Tisza. It draws the border between Ukraine and the Jude? from Maramure? in Romania. Until then, the Tisza is pure and flows fast in the bottom of narrow valleys. Then it travels all over Hungary, where it becomes slower and muddy. It strides across the Great Eastern Plains and joins the Danube in Serbia after Novi Sad.
7 countries to discover and stops in major capitals. Go through the famous Iron Gates and sail onto the Danube Delta.
The Iron Gates is a major gorge on the Danube gorge. It is part of the border between Serbia and south-west Romania. There, the river separates the southern Carpathians from the northern Balkan Mountains. The course has a length of 135 km. The width of the river varies from 2 km to less than 150 m in some places. The Danube Delta is located three quarters in the north of the Romanian province of Dobrogea, and a quarter in the Ukrainian province of Odessa in the Boudjak region of southern Bessarabia. With an area of 3 446 km², it is one of the largest of the European deltas after the delta of the Volga.
The Sava is a river flowing in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Serbia. It is a tributary on the right bank of the Danube, which joins Belgrade. (Not to be confused with the Sava which is a tributary of the Garonne in France.) The Sava is about 1000 km long and its basin measures 95.720 km ². In Roman times it was known as the Savus. It is often considered to mark the northern limit of the Balkans. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2769 | {"url": "https://www.croisieurope.travel/en/river/danube-cruise", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.croisieurope.travel", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:22:59Z", "digest": "sha1:KBX5OWKMIDFA3FZZLWUIACMHQ5SIIIBB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3083, 3083.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3083, 15212.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3083, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3083, 322.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3083, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3083, 133.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3083, 0.38412698]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3083, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3083, 0.03462322]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3083, 0.01629328]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3083, 0.01221996]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3083, 0.0015873]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3083, 0.14603175]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3083, 0.41952984]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3083, 4.43942134]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3083, 4.65503315]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3083, 553.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 45, 0.0], [45, 63, 0.0], [63, 73, 0.0], [73, 90, 0.0], [90, 123, 0.0], [123, 132, 0.0], [132, 142, 0.0], [142, 153, 0.0], [153, 846, 1.0], [846, 1112, 1.0], [1112, 1130, 0.0], [1130, 1945, 1.0], [1945, 2063, 1.0], [2063, 2673, 1.0], [2673, 3083, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 45, 0.0], [45, 63, 0.0], [63, 73, 0.0], [73, 90, 0.0], [90, 123, 0.0], [123, 132, 0.0], [132, 142, 0.0], [142, 153, 0.0], [153, 846, 0.0], [846, 1112, 0.0], [1112, 1130, 0.0], [1130, 1945, 0.0], [1945, 2063, 0.0], [2063, 2673, 0.0], [2673, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 30, 4.0], [30, 45, 2.0], [45, 63, 3.0], [63, 73, 2.0], [73, 90, 3.0], [90, 123, 7.0], [123, 132, 2.0], [132, 142, 2.0], [142, 153, 2.0], [153, 846, 116.0], [846, 1112, 42.0], [1112, 1130, 3.0], [1130, 1945, 152.0], [1945, 2063, 21.0], [2063, 2673, 114.0], [2673, 3083, 78.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 45, 0.0], [45, 63, 0.0], [63, 73, 0.0], [73, 90, 0.0], [90, 123, 0.0], [123, 132, 0.0], [132, 142, 0.0], [142, 153, 0.0], [153, 846, 0.01190476], [846, 1112, 0.0], [1112, 1130, 0.0], [1130, 1945, 0.0163522], [1945, 2063, 0.00869565], [2063, 2673, 0.02006689], [2673, 3083, 0.02512563]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 45, 0.0], [45, 63, 0.0], [63, 73, 0.0], [73, 90, 0.0], [90, 123, 0.0], [123, 132, 0.0], [132, 142, 0.0], [142, 153, 0.0], [153, 846, 0.0], [846, 1112, 0.0], [1112, 1130, 0.0], [1130, 1945, 0.0], [1945, 2063, 0.0], [2063, 2673, 0.0], [2673, 3083, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.03333333], [30, 45, 0.06666667], [45, 63, 0.16666667], [63, 73, 0.1], [73, 90, 0.17647059], [90, 123, 0.12121212], [123, 132, 0.22222222], [132, 142, 0.2], [142, 153, 0.18181818], [153, 846, 0.05627706], [846, 1112, 0.05639098], [1112, 1130, 0.11111111], [1130, 1945, 0.05030675], [1945, 2063, 0.04237288], [2063, 2673, 0.04098361], [2673, 3083, 0.05121951]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3083, 0.80126274]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3083, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3083, 0.88457513]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3083, -20.28993755]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3083, 43.59947547]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3083, 161.52234128]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3083, 36.0]]} |

Haley Scholars (Group 1) Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's "The Era"
[Haley Reading Groups Spring 2022]
Since 2009, we've done this reading group and in the process covered dozens of readings. But perhaps we've never read a short story quite like Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's "The Era." It's a story set in a future world after various wars and a re-organized society where genetic engineering has apparently gone to extremes, and brutal honesty has quite brutal.
After reading "The Finkelstein 5" and now "The Era," I think we have to say something, really a lot of things at some point about the creative and intriguing ways that Adjei-Brenyah's mind works.
Alright, I'm not even fully sure what questions to ask you because "The Era" disoriented me in unexpected and ultimately useful ways. So for now, let's do this: imagine several of us were in a room discussing this story. What should we focus on first concerning "The Era"? Why?
Linda H. said...
An important focus in The Era was how in this future society feelings and emotions are a weakness. Being anything but happy is ridiculed and treated like some kind of disease that they even have a cure for. It was sad to see the main character addicted to the "Good" just like any other drug we have now. Money could literally buy happiness in this society and the main character still wasn't happy.
Samantha A. said...
There are a couple of focuses that come to mind with this story, but the main ones are the concept of "Good" and the children characterized as "optimized." Good seems to be like a drug that is the only source of happiness, which illustrates how happiness should not be taken for granted. The "optimized" children are ridiculed and bullied based on their appearance, and placed beneath everyone else. These children are denied before being able to get a chance to express themselves.
Samantha A.
Kahleea Washington said...
An important concept to focus on is how things that are known to bring us happiness such as cake or a strong family connection has been eliminated from this society. Instead of having multiple sources of genuine happiness, they depend on doses of good to get them through the day. I believe “good” can represent the various substances people believe brings them happiness. The importance of being numb in this future society reflects parts of our reality.
Kahleea W
Raven Ginger said...
The first thing I would make a case on is that “Good” is like a drug. At first, I thought it was like a granola bar or a little snack because he went to get some from the school nurse before lunch. As the story went on, I understood that “Good” is like the feeling of good, calm, mellow, or relaxed. The second thing I would make a case on is that if you weren’t perfect there wasn’t a safe space for you; at school, you could be bullied by everyone and even hit by other students with no consequences for anybody, just laughter. Even at home, the “not perfect children” would be told that they were a mistake and bullied by their parents.
-Raven G.
Melanie Millsap said...
The first thing I would make a case on is need to be perfect and not being emotional. Their parents chose for them not to have emotions because it showed weakness. The main character struggles with the fact that he is not perfect and has to turn to the "Good" to fit in and meet society standards. He was constantly reminded how he was mistake.The main character was very blunt with his speech and thoughts because he was being honest but would hurt other in the process. Being able to express yourself is important but people also need to be aware of other's feelings.
Alexis S. said...
A major focus that I would bring up are the definitions of "clouding my truth" and "emotional truth clouding" as they both seem to mean the same thing but are different things? Both statements seem to mean, "telling the truth", but telling the truth in an emotional way in this dystopian society is bad. I would bring up this focus in a group setting to see how everyone interpreted the definitions of these two statements. Also, while reading this story, I was shocked to see just how honest people were and the different punishments that came with being honest and how people interpreted different characters honesty.
- Alexis S.
Chaianna Curry said...
The first thing that I would make a case on is the significance of “optimized” people. From what I understood, “optimized” people have had different chips inserted into their bodies as well as technological upgrades to their body systems to make them more advanced. For example, towards the beginning of the story we learn that most of Mr. Harper's class has had chips installed in their bodies that allow them to read at ridiculously fast speeds. This immediately reminded me of the controversial baby gene-editing debate that started in 2018. I think that if we continue to attempt gene-editing, we could have a society like the one in this story.
-Chai Curry
Kayla Person said...
I would focus on first how hypercritical people are in this future world. If you are anything other than what they describe as “perfect” , you’re disdained. It seemed like almost any trait/action we would consider normal would be scorned upon in this world. It was also concerning how insensitive the people were and that they were purposefully made to act that way.
-Kayla P.
McKenna C. said...
Society seems to be caught up in being perfect, which consequently causes chaos and separation amongst those in the new society. This story allowed an individual to get away from then new societal norms and feel comforted by others instead of artificial happiness. Lack of point of view and perspective creates tension that divides nations and leaves everyone wondering, what if...?
McKenna C.
Paris S. said...
An important idea to focus on is that the character in this story seems to be addicted to the "Good". While reading this story, I came to the thought that the "Good" is like a drug, and it seems to be the only thing that brings the character a sense of happiness and calmness. Without the "Good", the character seems to struggle emotionally. This idea can relate to the real world in terms of how people in society may struggle with drug-related addictions.
Kai Binta Steward said...
The first thing that I would make a case on was the lack of value between family members in the inner section versus in the families that lived in the outer part of the section. The McStowes saw the good and the bad and learned to accept what came with those emotions. Because when you accept the primary you can enjoy multiple aspects of life like comedy, sweets, and family.
I also thought it was interesting how the children were prescribed Good in the morning, the father of the McStowes family prescribed three days a week with them in the era and that he would be good as new. Both sides are on completely different pages of how to live.
LaTrina Brown said...
I would focus on the idea of how the main character was stuck on being "Good". The idea of being good seems to be the only thing that would satisfy the main character. A lot of people in reality struggle with trying to be perfect assuming that they need to be for society. The fact that happiness only came from being "good" goes to show how affective society can be. Society can influence one so much to where in this case the main character wasn't happy unless it meant being perfect.
Taiye J said...
A case from this story that was brought to my attention is that the truth is the highest form of communication. No matter how mean, rude, upsetting the truth is, it must be told. This creates no filter within the society as people just say what's on their minds without any thought of consideration of how their words may hurt others. And the thing is everyone just has to be okay with it, there is no consequences for telling mean truths or insulting people, as lying was the causes of the Wars. Another aspect that was very interesting to me was optimization and Optilife. I loved the touch of how optimization prebirth can make a person perfect but, sometimes it does go haywire, which is a result of Marlene and Samantha. This creates realism in the story as things are not always perfect and when you even try to make things perfect they may end up less than perfect or a nightmare.
Tamia Flowers said...
The importance of "optimized" people is the first point on which I would build a case. According to what I've learned, "optimized" people have had various chips implanted in their bodies, as well as technical enhancements to their bodily systems, to make them more advanced. For instance, we learn near the beginning of the story that most of Mr. Harper's students have chips implanted in their bodies that allow them to read at breakneck speeds. This quickly brought to mind the contentious debate over newborn gene editing that erupted in 2018. If we keep attempting gene editing, I believe we will end up with a civilization similar to the one depicted in this scenario.
-Tamia Flowers
Kalonji said...
The case I would focus on is this society's emphasis on labels. There are many examples of this such ass "clear-borns, "optimal", and "optimal or ideal". These labels are held in high regard because they are associated with the potential of the individuals within this society to achieve perfection. I would argue that fundamentally this society is flawed despite its emphasis on honesty and performance because they are in pursuit of something that humans can't achieve. Labels tend to overgeneralize people and box them in which can harm the overall development in the long run.
Zaria Hankins said...
I would focus on how much perfection seems to be valued in this story. The idea of being “optimal” or “unoptimal” seems to weigh heavy on the characters. There are also a lot of physical descriptions in the story, like when the character talks about Mr. Harper and Ms. Higgins, and I think that just further supports that these characters are obsessed with being perfect or good enough for society. They view non perfection as less than, and I think that is similar to reality when people are too hard on themselves.
Elizabeth Kyande said...
My case in this text would be the fact that perfection is the standard. From a different perspective, perfections sound wonderful. However, in this text, it's more like having insurance. If you are not perfectly protected by anyone. People have to turn to good for it to compensate for happiness as seen with the main character.
Daniel Allison said...
One thing I have noticed about the author's stories so far is that they initially sound outlandish until you realize that they are just exaggerated. The biggest detail of the era that stuck out to me was the insistence that emotions are unnecessary and they have been holding people back. This sounds crazy when you think about it at 1st. Until you realize how in our society we are expected to move on from tragic and historic events in a matter of days like it never happened.
-Daniel Allison
Kelsey H said...
One thing I would make a case focused on first would be the concept of “Good”. “Good” in this story was almost used as a drug. Once they got that “Good” it made them feel relaxed, calm, etc. It also seemed as if it was there only source of happiness which shows how happiness shouldn’t be taken for granted. Being anything but happy is treated like some kind of disease that has a cure for it which would be the “Good”. The author so far has done a decent job of connecting points from society now.
Nyah C. said...
Something I would focus on is how being emotional is considered not optimal. I pointed out in the last blog that our blackness was something we tried to adjust in our lives in real life, the story was just an exaggerated version of that. It is the same way in this story, we are expected to move past our flaws, which could be "being too emotional" because that is not celebrated in our society.
Jalen White said...
One thing that instantly caught my attention is the whole concept of the power of truth and emotion, and how if that balance is disturbed, the whole state of society is put into a flux. The whole idea shines a light on the current state of our world, where the line between truth and emotion is constantly blurred, particularly on social media. When a society thinks that the solution to the world's problems is to suppress emotion and encourage brutal honesty, humanity is ultimately lost.
Jalen W
Ebonie Byrd said...
Something that I would focus on when discussing “The Era” that is significant is how emotion have been seen as a weakness in the story. Specifically, that the characters had to only be happy. “The Era” gives a perspective of what society should be like in a perfect world, yet these ideas are detrimental to society. The chapter also shows the haunting truth about society today and how many time emotions are masked for the rest of the world.
Ebonie BYrd
Tiffany Ellison said...
The thing that I would like to focus on is how brutal that brutal honesty has become. And how the people just take it. In the beginning of the story, when Mr.Harper is talked about, he never showed emotion about how a student thought about brutally hurting him. It's easy from the start to see that emotion is not something that people show in this story, and so I'd like to focus on that.
-Tiffany E.
Tiana J said...
An important focus of this story is the concept of being Good associated with being perfect. It parallels how in today's society with social media especially there are so many people who associate the two together. I think that the concept of Good as portrayed in this story is a feel-good emotion, but in today's world people can associate themselves thinking perfect and good equal the same thing.
Tiana J
Jania G said...
Something that caught my attention was the concept "Good". It almost seems like a drug that relived people in the aftermath once they got it. The author did a good job of relating the idea of being perfect in the story and connecting it to society today.
Janielle F said...
Something I would focus on is how flimsy their society was. If a person was unable to regulate their emotions/bring themselves back to the their standards, it seemed to overwhelm the society quickly. Everyone in their society has to conform to its standards because any deviation or feeling could ruin it.
Lexis Lewis said...
The important focus would be how "Good" is used. The "Good" is a drug used as a source of happiness, which in reality is what many drugs are used for now. Ben is addicted to "Good" because everything around him negatively impacts him which leads him to be sad. Sometimes the "Good" does not make him better. The main concept I would bring up is how drugs can be the only source of happiness for a person.
- Lexis Lewis
Phoenix Johnson said...
My focus would center around the question "what does the "Good" symbolize ?" I personally believe that it is an actually drug i think it symbolize how in today's time how so iett uses drugs to escape life. Ben hats feeling depressed and sad from the messed up world he lives. The knly thing that keeps him from suicide is this drug. I think that symbolizes how today's teenager and young adults use drugs to escape mental health and the world issues.
Nijay Spellman said...
When I first started reading the assigned pages, I was taken aback. I was wondering why are the teacher and students being so rude to each other and why is this even being allowed? But, I guess "The Era" is meant to be some futuristic society, and how people interact with each other would not be common in today's society. This society accepts people who are rude, blunt and tend to suppress their emotions; and those who wear their emotions on their sleeves are considered outcasts
Nijay S.
Brooke Harris said...
The focus of The Era is selective blindness. Everyone always is selective on what they deem acceptable in the realms of sadness, justice, and happiness. This creates a split in how people see the world which stems instability in society.
-Brooke Harris
SylveA’sha Radley said...
I would make a case on “being emotional isn’t prideful, and being truthful, prideful and intelligent are the best things.” People make it seem like having emotions and being honest with yourself is the worst thing you could. A person needs to have a balance of different emotions or you will end up unhappy like Mr.Harper. I can tell Mr. Harper is very full of himself and doesn’t want to show any kind of weakness. People have to understand that we are all human and nobody is perfect. Be who you are, if people don’t accept you for being you then they are not meant to be part of your life.
Ehriana . C said...
One focus I would talk about is the facts that the shoelookers are basically the sad and depressed people of society. The shoelookers are looked down upon compared to the others. This shows how people tend to judge those with depression and other mental health issues. It's also crazy how Ben eventually became a shoelooker once he stopped indulging in "Good". I think "good" represent temporary un-genuine happiness in this story.
-Ehriana .C
Walter Carroll said...
One thing to focus on is the parallels between the society in the story and ours. Everyone in this story was so focused on being the perfect person for society and not in ways that were actually meaningful. Just like in our society people put so much emphasis in their lives on fitting the "perfect" standards in society, so much that they never seem to be pleased with themselves.
-Walter Carroll
Noah Phillips said...
Something that was very evident in this story to recognize is the innate desire to achieve "Good". "Good" is what made the people feel happiness and was less of a intentional purpose and more so an addiction. Something else to consider is how being emotional was not looked at in a good light. Being anything besides good was seen in a negative light. Lastly the whole concept of perfection really shines through this story and the society. Perfection was more than just something to strive for in good faith, it was almost a requirement for happiness.
Chelsea Cooper said...
I would focus on the standard of "Perfection" and the main characters needs for the "The Goods". When the parents told the main character he was a mistake and they forgot to put the correct genes in him while in the womb, I was shocked. He was left behind and put in this place because he was not created in the "Perfect" image. "The Goods" was a drug that the main character was entirely dependent on this for a glimps of comfort and peace. This chapter was a scary reality.
-Chelsea Cooper
Kiya R said...
I would focus on how "The Era" was disorienting purposefully. I believe the story was disorienting to discuss how emotions can be disorienting, especially in a society where it is frowned upon to be shown. When we have to supress our emotions, we feel that same disorientation because we are unsure of what to do, and I find that very interesting.
Kiarra Chark said...
One thing that I would make a case to focus on is the immense sense of depression and sadness surrounding the characters in the Era. This story had much symbolism on the subject of depression that could be related to our current society nowadays. Ben is a good example of depression in this story. In the beginning, you could feel the pull of sadness dragging him under just by the context of his words.

The first concern I had about “The Era” was how people did not believe in the term fake it til you make it. I’m my opinion not one person will have all the right tools to be successful or how to do anything right the first time through. Believe in him yourself is the first step and acting as if you have it is the next until you actually get it. Everyone who used Good was not actually being themselves. They were being a fake version of themselves and that isn’t faking it til you make it. It’s just faking it. The McStowes were the few people who still believed in making things for yourself by yourself. Ben understood this too, but his family tried to make him not. In a sense they were creating him to be a revolutionary leader in many ways.

The main focus of this story to me is being unemotive. But I think no matter how “inefficient” it is, it’s the most significant part of human exitance that we take for granted. Even though genetic testing as illuminated the necessity for positive feelings, not everyone seems to be allowed to get it. It has created a power distance between people with different types of testing. Another focus of “The Era” is the main characters struggle with humanity. He’s struggling to control his “irrational” emotions because he isn’t allowed to express himself. Almost everyone around him was constantly reminding him that his lack of genetic modification made him inferior.

An important focus would be how everybody idolizes being "Good". They take it as being good like a drug, the happiness that you get when you are being good. It questions what lengths people would go to in order to achieve being "good". It is a strive to be good and perfect which isn't healthy.
William Akpan said...
The part of this that deserves the most focus is how regular human emotion in the way that it exists today is completely eliminated from society. Instead there is an artificial system that disperses feelings of good as if it were food. What I got out of this was a deeper appreciation of feeling a range of emotion and appreciating the good rather than everyone in society being given "good".

One of the most important themes include the concept of perfection. So many morals, values, and even respect is considered not normal in today's society. People are not always considerate of others nor perspectives and challenges. People must look out for others always.
K Carter said...
I think we should bring attention to the focus of perfection in the story. It aligns with so many people because in reality, nobody likes making mistakes. We could take away the lesson from this point in the story by remembering that it is okay if life does not go our way all the time
Philip Bowen said...
One focus of this story is the about term being " Good". It remind of something we as a society goes through today with the idea of being perfect is associated with a drug. But it was upsetting to see because it something that we see today in society with teenagers and adults always trying to be consider perfect but suffering in the end.
The numbing nature of this future is blatant. This reminds me a lot of the game "We Happy Few", which surrounds an existence that is dependent on Happy pills. This idea of universal numbness seems relative to dehumanizing humanity.

I'd make a case to focus on how much emphasis people in this era put on being "perfect". To mask your emotions and only be happy to put out an image that a society is brewing with happiness and positivity only to realize it was fake all along. I think many people could make a case for this type of thing in certain places of the world. Especially in places on the west side of the world.
Ta'mya Cummings said...
A focus that comes to mind with this particular story is how the characters are given “Good” to determine their happiness and mood. Having the “Good” as a source can make the characters feel like they can’t create their own happiness unless they have that, which makes it seem like a drug. Also, it can come off as trying to be perfect, because they always want to have it and be happy, but in reality everybody has their different moods and it is normal.
Keaira C. said...
This story was definitely interesting, and personally took me on a mental trip. I think a few focuses come to mind with this story for me. One of the main ones is how Ben's dependency on "Good", seemed to parallel to one suffering from addiction, specifically drug dependence or substance abuse to me. People will look to abuse these things to have confidence, to feel happy, more at ease or relaxed (as overall mood enhancers). And though this happens to people, it's often that most people tend to look down on others that are sad and suffering, or people that abuse drugs or have addictions to substances for mood enhancing effects. When in reality instead of their being divides of people that are sad (the Shoelookers), people that rely on "Good" or drugs/substances (ex. Ben), and those that don't, we need to be thinking about as a collective how we should try to be more like the McStowe's. Seeking happiness upon ourselves and valuing the connections that we have with others, is what they represented to me. Also, emphasizing the idea of being open to understanding other possibilities and uplifting and supporting those that we can. I think the McStowe's served as the reality to the dystopian society within this storyline. This family represented the understanding that there is no standard that matters aside from your own, and that "normal" can look different for everyone.
Alleson Huntspon said...
If we were sitting in a room I would make a case about the shoe lookers. This may not be super important but it does play a role in what the setting and the society of this story is suppose to look like. We could discuss whom the so called shoe makers in our society would probably represent. We also could show what the “good” in our world symbolizes compared to this stories.

Geonel M.:
The era is a futuristic society also called the new federation. It looks a lot like the past but is a-lot worse. It is a perfectionist society. People could achieve this perfection through unnatural routes. As a matter of fact, fertility is optimized in the new federation. Meaning that parents could choose certain traits for their children before their conception.
In the era, people are not allowed to show emotions and stand against everything that the present generation fights against. We can also note that people are stripped away from social mechanism (e.g: no lies). Which leads me to question if becoming better will not be more harmful than being perfectly flawed.
Ashanti Y.:
A major focus to look at is how normal feelings and emotions were cut. If you weren’t what the deemed “normal” or “perfect”. It seemed like every trait is as society declare normal they didn’t. I think because of this is why everyone was so desensitized to everyone else’s feelings
Josephine Kanyi said...
I haven't had a passage throw me in for such a loop as much as this one did. It's important to focus on the constant dissatisfaction that people living in the industrial era are facing. The era is not just about futuristic predictions but does a good job at depicting mental health specifically depression. To the main character Ben, Good is simply an escape from the sad reality his life is and reflects on how a lot of people find different avenues to distract themselves from their current reality, and some end up being addictive coping mechanisms like "good" was for Ben.

My case for the readings this week would pertain to how someone is viewed and how they feel about it. In the beginning of this section, The Era, the teacher, Mr. Harper, is doing a terrible job at building his students confidence. He is instead pointing out and telling them how imperfect they are and why they'd always be "unoptimal" to others. The students can't even express their emotions truly because their emotions are disregarded by others because it shows them as being inadequate. Also, I instantly noticed how some students have an implanted chip in their bodies while those who are "unoptimal" don't.
Charles R
The Era focus on the future, society, family, and how emotions are handled in a dystopia. In Era, the sister Leslie is judgmental of others while the brother works on being good. Also, the parents telling their child that he was a mistake show how emotionally disconnected families are to each other.
In discussing "The Era," the point of focus I would like to address is the standard of perfection/ "optimal" being. It's fascinating that some of the qualities that makes human beings beautiful (empathic, sensitive, genuinely loving) are considered as a weakness/defect.

Arielle S. said...
The yearning for perfection and the lack of emotion. Emotions showed weakness which is something that today's society is trying to shy away from but is still struggling with, myself included. The desire to be. perfect is almost scary in today's society and the one discussed seeing that people would do anything to be perfect.
Darius Campbell said...
One thing that needs to be discussed is this bizarre society. It is extremely important to not show emotions in this society. So much so that the main character was discouraged from speaking his truth because it was coming from an emotional state. Emotions are seen as an imperfection and this society strives for perfection. And they even go to the lengths of changing peoples genetics to make them perfect.
-Darius C.
Oyeyemi Efunkoya said...
One thing I found interesting was how they said the reason why we all humans fight or argue is because of people being living wrong which causes distrust. I noticed when they were talking about emotions, it was one reason which led to war/problems in the world. Another one was being "Good", appreciation wasn't accepted which is really wrong. This whole story just felt not okay.
Dasmin W. said...
The first concern we should bring up is how society feels about people who is shown through the main character. He not only attacks himself, but almost everyone in the book because they are not "perfect" in the eyes of society. I was shocked by how the characters value emotions as weaknesses and value "honesty" in the form of insults as showing strengths. It's also concerning that once you are marked with something, you cant develop or change from that. The main character describes himself as dumb, slow, and more of a thinker than a listener, but at home, he's able to read the chapter. It seems like the character could grow with help and maybe prosper in the previous society.
- Dasmin W
If we were to sit down and have a discussion, I would focus the conversation on the “good” and how the main character strives for perfection and that is how he defines his happiness. I think this conversation would open up a good space for explaining what each individuals perception of “good” is. Being that we all have different experiences, everyone understands certain situations differently. I would also like to discuss in what ways we all feel we can relate or compare to the main character.
Jamie Tabron
One of the major things I focused on was parents being able to pick out their children's characteristics. All children are blessings. So how they come into this world is how they are supposed to be. I also thought that the dad was being a little hard on the kids. It is important to raise them in the right manner though. Everyone is different, but everyone is perfect as they are. It was really hard for me to see how other kids were treating each other.
-Rotrisha Epps
Fatima B.:
Concerning "The Era" I think we should focus on the concept of "Good" first. It draws many parallels to real life where "Good" symbolizes drugs, alcohol, or anything else used to achieve a false sense of happiness. Also, the obsession with perfection is quite shocking. These high expectations lead to never feeling fulfilled and content.
Breana B.:
What I would discuss is the origin of the war and how it began. I would talk about this because it reminds me so much of today. People are doing things not because they want to but have to work to survive. People always make sacrifices for the greater good when they suffer in return. I enjoyed reading this chapter.
Torian henry said...
One major thing I focused on and discussed was the perception of "right". or "good" in the society in the text and how it translate to the current society. Often times I see this notion is what drives us to make many our decisions and leads me to question what really is free will and do we have it in our current civilization.
Mahlik G said...
If I were in a room discussing this story, I'd potentially propose how relatable I feel, at times, to Ben. I'd inquire if we feel that in some ways, elements of The Era play out in today's world. I'd inquire about whether Ben and the other non-optimized folks are actually the problems or if it is the perfectionists who are the problem. Overall, I'd present how, in some ways, we aren't too far off from The Era. Good, in today's world, can be many things - it could be how individuals use and depend on weed, medicine, etc. to feel good and to regulate their emotions and body. |

Creating Shareable Content
One of the major struggles with social media is getting companies noticed and their posts shared. The majority of corporate social media accounts receive little, if any, interaction with potential customers and tend to languish in obscurity. Even those that post often can still struggle to get results. If you feel that your social media campaign is lagging behind, here are some tips on how to make your content more shareable:
Not every post should be a sales pitch.
While it is important to get information about your company and services out there, you should mix up the types of posts you make. Informative posts that are related to the field you're in should make up the bulk of your posts. This can be recent statistics, infographics, videos, or links to interesting articles.
It is important to update your social networks regularly, but depending on the field you're in, it can be difficult to think of fresh, new ideas. Instead of focusing solely on the services and products your company provides, think about topics surrounding your field of work that might interest your customers.
Create incentives with a core benefit.
One of the best ways to get people to engage and share your content is by using incentives. Rewarding those who take action and enticing them to do more in the future will go a long way to help your social media campaign. Creative incentives that make it easier for people to try out or buy your services, because once they do, they're more likely to return.
Stand for something.
Being the best, the most experienced or the least expensive option is great, but it doesn't always set you apart in the world of social media. Having a clear and distinct voice that sets you apart from your competitors can help bring personality to your business and keep customers interested in what you have to say.
Integrating these ideas into your current social media strategy isn't always easy. If you're looking for help with your social media campaign, the social media specialists at CyberMark International can help you.

R32: Next-Generation Refrigerant
Daikin Singapore recognizes that air conditioners consume a significant amount of electricity, and with the use of refrigerants that include the chemical, fluorocarbons, is harmful to the environment. This chemical contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer, resulting in global warming. Daikin believes that as the only air conditioner manufacturer in the world to produce both air conditioning equipment and refrigerant, we have the responsibility to expand the use of substances that can contribute to the reduction of the greenhouse emissions throughout the product life cycle. With this corporate direction and the impact on the ozone layer that is reflected through climate change in recent years, Daikin aims to alleviate the harmful effects of air conditioners, while at the same time ensuring that you are still able to enjoy the comfort of cool air in your premise.
To tackle the significant consumption of electricity, Daikin has been constantly improving its air conditioner technology to ensure that some of its products offered to the market are recognized as the highest efficiency rating of 5 ticks. Our upcoming multi-split air conditioner will be certified with 5 ticks and most importantly, this product will be using the world’s first R32 refrigerant.
Our upcoming R32 multi-split air conditioner that uses the next generation refrigerant will have zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and lower Global Warming Potential (GWP). GWP is a measure of how much energy the emission of 1 ton of a gas will be absorbed over a given period, relative to the emissions of 1-ton carbon dioxide. The lower the GWP, the less that a given gas warms the earth compared to carbon dioxide over the same time period.
To further pursue environmental sustainability, Daikin will continue to develop and promote products and services that aims to reduce environmental impact and increase the efficiency of our air conditioners, such as our recent venture into Building Management System (BMS) that targets to increase efficiency in all areas. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2776 | {"url": "https://www.daikin.com.sg/csr-activity/R32:-Next-Generation-Refrigerant%20/sitemap", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.daikin.com.sg", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:45:59Z", "digest": "sha1:YP5LQOADSOQ24DEQSK6I2LUFM6OMHERA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2099, 2099.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2099, 7248.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2099, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2099, 288.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2099, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2099, 165.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2099, 0.40810811]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2099, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2099, 0.01440922]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2099, 0.0092219]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2099, 0.02162162]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2099, 0.10810811]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2099, 0.51057402]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2099, 5.24169184]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2099, 4.65794266]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2099, 331.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 934, 1.0], [934, 1330, 1.0], [1330, 1777, 1.0], [1777, 2099, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 934, 0.0], [934, 1330, 0.0], [1330, 1777, 0.0], [1777, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 4.0], [20, 53, 3.0], [53, 934, 138.0], [934, 1330, 61.0], [1330, 1777, 78.0], [1777, 2099, 47.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.31578947], [20, 53, 0.06666667], [53, 934, 0.0], [934, 1330, 0.01025641], [1330, 1777, 0.0091954], [1777, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 53, 0.0], [53, 934, 0.0], [934, 1330, 0.0], [1330, 1777, 0.0], [1777, 2099, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.05], [20, 53, 0.12121212], [53, 934, 0.00681044], [934, 1330, 0.01010101], [1330, 1777, 0.04697987], [1777, 2099, 0.02484472]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2099, 0.52775395]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2099, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2099, 0.14483744]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2099, -68.80276313]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2099, 20.42490364]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2099, -20.17644133]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2099, 10.0]]} |

Boulder tabbed as pilot for euthanasia…
Boulder tabbed as pilot for euthanasia alternatives program
Boulder has been chosen as one of five pilot cities to test the Humane Society of the United State’s Wild Neighbors program, which will help municipalities deal with urban wildlife issues without euthanasia.
The Wild Neighbors program aims to provide local agencies the training and resources to deal with “nuisance” wildlife calls more safely and more effectively. The Humane Society will be pairing with the five pilot cities to document and exchange ideas.
“As we’re working with the city of Boulder and our other pilot cities, we’ll be closely documenting their process so Boulder and the other cities can serve as role models for other communities across the country,” said Lynsey White Dasher, the director of Humane Wildlife Conflict Resolution at the Humane Society
The other four cities are Arlington, Va; Austin, Texas; San Diego, Calif.; and Washington, D.C.
Dasher said the pilot cities, including Boulder, were chosen because they already are using non-lethal methods of dealing with wildlife.
“We chose Boulder as one of our pilot cities because they are already a leader in this country in progressive wildlife policies and human solutions to conflict with wildlife,” Dasher said. “We thought that what they are already doing would be useful for other cities that aren’t as far along as they are. Boulder is also unique in that there are so many departments that deal with animal issues.”
The Wild Neighbors program will be working with the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks Department, Urban Wildlife and the Boulder Police Department’s animal control unit.
“It’s exciting and its an honor to be recognized for what we’re already doing for our community and see how we can continue to be progressive in that way,” said Janee Boswell, animal control supervisor with Boulder police.
The program will last about a year and will start this week as Humane Society officials come to Boulder for training and to ride along with animal control officers as they respond the numerous wildlife calls they get on any given day.
Boswell said one of the things she is excited about is seeing the recorded data of the animal control units calls, something she said the department doesn’t have the resources to do on its own.
“Their hope is that they will be able to collect a lot of data around the calls we’re responding too,” Boswell said. “I just think it would be great to have that information so we can assess what is going on. It would be nice to know what kind of calls we’re handling.”
Dasher said the program will also help Boulder with public education by creating pamphlets on dealing with wildlife and helping on social media campaigns.
“Whether it may be a raccoon in a trash can or a bear wandering through the neighborhood or a coyote who has attacked someone’s pets, we will be helping with ways to help the public solve wildlife conflicts,” Dasher said.
Dasher said the variety of wildlife Boulder sees is also one of the reasons Boulder was chosen, something Boswell agreed with.
“We’re talking anything from squirrels to birds to raccoons and skunks up to coyotes and foxes,” Boswell said. “We have a lot of urban wildlife, and for us to just exterminate all of those animals just isn’t humane and doesn’t provide the ecosystem that we want. If we can live in relative harmony, then that’s ideal for us, because the animals are here for a reason.”

Branding refresh for Miami Beach hotel
How do you refresh one of Miami’s most luxurious hotels? At the heart of every branding exercise is the very real need to stay true to the brand’s core and showcase what makes it unique and memorable. So was the vision for The Setai Hotel in Miami Beach.
Conspicuous elegance amidst one of the sexiest beach cities in the world was our guiding vision. After research, brainstorming, and designing, we presented three distinct alternatives with one common theme. The Setai Miami Beach, we said, is the embodiment of elegance, sensuality and mystery—perfect for a property located in one of the sexiest cities in the world.
Through the use of a distinct sharp angle, we conveyed a sense of peeking into The Setai world and evoked the famous Art Deco influence of Miami Beach. Photography was shot with a flair for fashion over a 4-day shoot.
The final touches came with a play on words and smart use of negative space. Design elements included email templates, sales kits, and print ads for newspapers and magazines, plus display ads, a media kit, menus, a wedding brochure and in-room advertising.

Whistleblower Receives More Than $17 Million in Omnicare Case
A decision has been made in the case against Omnicare, Inc. that will net a former Omnicare pharmacist more than $17.2 million in the ensuing settlement.
The settlement with the Department of Justice orders Omnicare, Inc. to pay more than $124 million after having allegedly violated the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS). Omnicare was accused of luring in nursing homes to choose the company to be its primary drug supplier for Medicare and Medicaid patients by offering discounts to those facilities. The whistleblower lawsuits resulting from these accusations were filed under the False Claims Act.
The money not awarded to the pharmacist/whistleblower will go to the federal government. Of the amount sent to the government, about $8.2 million will be sent to states that were affected by the alleged kickbacks, which harmed Medicaid programs.
Under the AKS, it is considered a felony to provide these kinds of rewards when federal healthcare programs are involved. Therefore, there are some significant penalties involved for these violations. Violators could be penalized $50,000 for each instance. Over the course of the last five years, the government has doled out fines of more than $19.5 billion for False Claims Act violations, which includes AKS violations. This has been largely due to the Obama administration’s determination to fight healthcare fraud.
Cases such as these, with whistleblowers receiving huge settlements, are going to continue to be common over the next ten years — the Affordable Care Act has a significant amount of funding ($350 million) allocated toward fighting healthcare fraud, conducting fraud investigations and more. The theory is that so long as whistleblowers continue to be rewarded, they will keep coming forward in droves.
If you are aware of a similar healthcare fraud issue in a company you work for, be sure to speak with the Dallas attorneys at Whistleblower Law for Managers about how you can bring the issue to light and potentially earn significant rewards.

Cloud Data Warehouse vs. Cloud Data Lake: Overall Resource Efficiency and Productivity

Since the COVID-19 crisis began, IT budgets have become tighter, driving technology leaders to figure out ways to do more with less. Data-driven enterprises cannot simply afford to sunset data modernization or data analytics projects. In times like this, several industry verticals (insurance, financial services, and healthcare) are generating more data than ever before, and this data has to be processed and analyzed with fewer resources.
Modern IT leaders have been using cloud data lakes and cloud data warehouses as the technologies of choice to store, manage, and analyze data. Cloud data warehouses, for a long time, have been the technology used to store highly structured data for specific BI use cases. Alternatively, cloud data lakes are a much newer technology that allows enterprises to work with much larger volumes and varieties of data in a more agile, natural manner.
Although data warehouses can handle semi-structured data, they are not the most optimal option to do so. At the speed and volume that data is generated today, it is not cost-effective to store all data in a database or a data warehouse. Additionally, there is a significant effort of data processing and preparation that takes place before storing it in a data warehouse, and this process is slow and expensive. Given their ability to store structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, and their adaptability for future analytics needs, cloud data lakes have become the go-to answer to address today’s wide-ranging data challenges.
Everything we do today generates data, from the electronics we use and even wear to the cars we drive to the supply chains we manage. As a result, data is growing exponentially and is coming from more sources faster than ever. While deemed in the past as incredibly costly and inefficient, today cloud data lakes enable enterprises to establish a single source of truth by keeping all their data in a centralized repository, accessible by many teams for many purposes. This gives companies the ability to gather insights from their data that otherwise would be impossible to discover.
Doing more with less applies to the resources and budget available for data projects in your organization, as well as the time spent working with the data. Cloud data lakes outperform cloud data warehouses because they enable organizations to gain faster value from their data, and from more of their data. The open architecture of a cloud data lake allows for the deployment of resource-efficient, best-of-breed processing engines that help to accelerate exploration and insights while keeping costs down.
The highly structured nature of cloud data warehouses requires decisions to be made on what data to include or exclude from reports. In today’s environment, the disposal of unused data is more expensive than retaining it. The flexibility and open architecture of the cloud data lake allow enterprises to retain all of their data as it has the potential to provide valuable insights not yet discovered.
The monolithic architecture of cloud data warehouses is famous for locking users into proprietary data formats that are hard to migrate from and makes it difficult to leverage the best-of-breed technologies that open cloud data lakes offer. Also, the time and money involved in developmental processes to make changes in a data warehouse is not a good investment of available resources. Copying and moving data into a cloud data warehouse is a complex and slow process that degrades data freshness and results in lost business opportunities. In contrast, cloud data lakes enable enterprises to answer business questions with high agility at the user’s pace.
Cloud data lakes afford enterprises complete control over their data at all times with a much lower risk of vendor lock-in. Its open architecture allows users to leverage storage technologies such as Amazon S3 and Microsoft ADLS, and best-of-breed processing engines like Databricks. It also provides easier access to data, so data engineers, architects, and data consumers can make the most of their data using the tools that they already are familiar with.
Cloud data lakes offer enterprises the ability to pursue new and more complex data projects in order to take advantage of the cost savings, accelerated time to insight, efficiency, and productivity that they deliver.

Latin America’s strongest democracy offers many lessons
DemDigest January 31, 2023 February 2, 2023
The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked it the 13th strongest democracy in the world, ahead of the United Kingdom (#18), Spain (#24) and the United States (#26), and well ahead of regional peers like Brazil (#47), Colombia (#59) or Mexico (#86), and it is blissfully free of the protests and political instability shaking places like Brazil and Peru, writes Americas Quarterly’s editor-in-chief Brian Winter.
Tim Kaine, a Democrat on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a board member of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), recently called it “a model in so many ways” and asked why the U.S. is not investing more in Latin America’s least corrupt and most economically prosperous country, with the highest per capita income (about $17,000), its lowest poverty rate (7%), and among its lowest levels of inequality.
So what can we learn from Uruguay? What are the secrets to its relative success? Winter asks:
Chief among them: Having a robust social safety net, as Uruguay does, can actually strengthen capitalism by giving citizens a minimum level of security, making them less likely to lash out at the system or elect populist leaders. Uruguay’s strong political parties are integrated into society and have consistent ideas, instead of being mere vehicles for personalistic leaders. … Democracy only returned in 1985 following a period of guerrilla violence and repressive military rule. Today’s achievements were not the work of any one leader, or ideology, but a concerted effort over many years.
“It almost doesn’t matter who’s in power; there’s a kind of social democratic consensus that doesn’t fundamentally change,” said Nicolás Saldías, a Uruguayan-born analyst for Latin America at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
“Uruguay has the lowest level of poverty in Latin America, it doesn’t have any extreme poverty, and its level of inequality measured by the Gini index is also the lowest in the region,” said Nicolas Saldías, a Latin American analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit. “This allows it to avoid the political polarization you see in many other parts of Latin America. Look at Brazil or Peru right now, that is unthinkable in Uruguay.”
The country has a historically strong democratic governance structure and a positive record of upholding political rights and civil liberties while also working toward social inclusion, says Freedom House. Although all citizens enjoy legal equality, there are still disparities in treatment and political representation of women, transgender people, Uruguayans of African descent, and the Indigenous population.
It was in the opening decades of the 20th century that Uruguay transformed itself from a rural backwater into the first modern social democracy in Latin America, notes analyst Andreas Campomar. Secularisation, the abolition of the death penalty and the recognition of the rights of illegitimate children accelerated the country’s development. The electoral franchise, through the introduction of the secret ballot and proportional representation, reinforced the idea of Uruguay not just as un país modelo (‘a model country’) but as an outlier in the region, he writes for The Spectator.
Active social movements
One thing that sets Uruguay’s institutions apart is how open they are, and integrated into society. Almost everyone seems to be part of something; a political party, a union, a neighborhood club, that in turn has ties, or at least some connectivity, to the state. “Active social movements have been the motor of Uruguayan politics and democracy,” Carolina Cosse, the mayor of Montevideo and another possible presidential hopeful, told me, Winter writes:
She said virtually “all” social policy reforms of recent years began at the grassroots level, pointing to universal health care, marriage equality and a new university in the country’s interior as causes that politicians then adopted as their own. Cosse and others highlighted the particular importance of political parties: The same three have dominated Uruguayan politics for decades, have espoused generally consistent ideologies instead of serving as personalistic vehicles, and count thousands of everyday people among their members.
So there is actually much that the rest of Latin America, and indeed the world, can learn from Uruguay’s relative prosperity, he concludes. RTWT

Setting captives free
April 13, 2003 - Jim Denison, PhD
Topic Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11
This week has brought great victory to our coalition forces in Iraq. You’ll always remember the Saddam statue’s fall in Baghdad on Wednesday. Now we begin the process of rebuilding that nation. In that light, this story may be of interest to you.
When in England at a conference, Colin Powell was asked by the former Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were an example of empire-building by President Bush and America.
The Secretary of State replied, “We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years, as recently as the last year in Afghanistan, and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in.”
For instance, 65,000 young Americans were killed liberating France from Hitler, and lie buried in French soil. It is the same around the world.
With such courage, Americans and others have set captives free again this week in Iraq. You have watched the Iraqi people on television, as I have. So many are responding in joy, welcoming our troops with gratitude. Some reject our presence, and some are apathetic. These either don’t want to be free, or don’t know that they are.
Hold that thought, and join the crowds with me at the first Palm Sunday.
Join the crowd
The Israel of Jesus’ day was an occupied country, under the heel of their Roman oppressors. Caesar could be as despotic as Saddam Hussein, his troops as cruel. So when Jesus of Nazareth came to Jerusalem on Sunday, April 12, in the year A.D. 29, the crowds went wild with joy. They believed their Messiah had come—the one sent from God to liberate them from the evil Romans and set them free.
Had there been no joy that day, it would have been for one of two reasons. Either they didn’t want to be freed from Rome—thus the religious authorities’ rejection of Jesus. Or they didn’t believe they were—thus the apathy of those who watched this parade but refused its joy.
They missed the only One who could fulfill God’s plan for their freedom.
Matthew shows us that Palm Sunday “took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet” (v. 4), Zechariah’s prediction, made 567 years earlier.
Jesus made preparations for this event before it occurred, sending his disciples ahead to find the donkey he would ride into the Holy City. Jesus prepared on that day, but he began before the first day was created—he is “the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world” (Revelation 13:8).
This fact proves that he is “the Lord” (v. 3), the only time in Matthew’s gospel where this title is applied to Jesus. Those who missed the joy of Palm Sunday missed the only One who could fulfill God’s plan for their freedom.
They missed the only One who would die for that freedom.
A Roman conqueror rode into a city in a chariot drawn by four horses, with a slave holding his crown above his head.—on white horses.
Jesus came on a donkey. He chose to. He had just walked the 15 miles from Jericho to Jerusalem, up an elevation of some 3,000 feet, through some of the most difficult landscape to be found anywhere in the world. He could have walked into the city. But he rode a donkey, a beast of suffering, a symbol of peace. He came as one “gentle” (v. 5)—the word means strength under submission. He came humbled before the Lord, and those he had been sent to save.
These crowds wanted a military ruler. If Jesus had been the Messiah they wanted, he would have set them free from Rome. But they would still have been slaves. Slaves to sin, to Satan, to death. So would we be.
So he died for them, and for each of us. Christ “died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6).
He “died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3).
He “laid down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
He “was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
He “redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13).
He “gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father” (Galatians 1:4).
He “gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own” (Titus 2:14).
He has “freed us from our sins by his blood” (Revelation 1:5).
He “purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9).
He “died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God” (1 Peter 3:18).
The word of God is true: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
Some were overjoyed at his coming. Some were apathetic. Some rejected him. It is still the same today. We are each one in one of those crowds, this moment.
Choose your crowd
Which is yours? Let’s find out.
How did you feel about coming to worship today? As you got up this morning, what if your Sunday school teacher or a staff member had called your house to say that worship was cancelled. A water main broke, flooding the Sanctuary, and the service was impossible. How would you have felt—one less thing to do? Or a joyous opportunity missed?
How do you feel about the Christian faith in general this morning?
Many in the Arab world interpret America’s war in Iraq as another Christian crusade against Muslims.
Last Sunday’s “High Profile” in the Dallas Morning News profiled a lawyer who built a successful AIDS housing program. The column always asks among other questions, “If I could change one thing about myself, I’d ….” The man being profiled answered, “I’d rid myself of the Judeo-Christian and Western hang-ups that stunted my growth as a human being.”
How do you feel about the faith? About prayer, Bible study, ministry? Is yours routine, habitual, even boring? Or filled with excitement and joy?
How do you feel about the cross, the subject of this week in church life?
An ornament? Jewelry? Church architecture?
Perhaps this will help. I’m holding a crown of thorns from Israel. These are the thorns which grow in that region of the world. As you can see, some are four inches long, and all are razor sharp. This is the way we crowned the King of Kings and Lord of Lords when he came to Jerusalem for us.
A medical doctor described crucifixion in physical terms. This is not for the faint of heart: “The cross is placed on the ground and the victim is thrown backwards with his shoulders against the wood. The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He drives a heavy, square wrought-iron nail through the wrist deep into the wood. Quickly he moves to the other side and repeats the action. The left foot is pressed backward against the right foot, and with both feet extended, toes down, a nail is driven through the arch of each, leaving the knees flexed. The victim is now crucified.
“As he sags with his weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating fiery pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms as the nails press on the median nerves. He pushes upward to avoid this stretching torment, placing full weight on the nail through his feet. Again he feels the searing agony of the nail.
“As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through his muscles, filling them with deep and throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breathe. Finally carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood stream, and the cramps partially subside. Spasmodically he is able to push himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen. This goes on for hours.
“Then another pain begins: a deep, rushing pain deep in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over. The loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical level. The compressed heart struggles to pump heavy, sluggish blood through the tissues. The tortured lungs make frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. Finally the victim dies.
How do you feel about the hell from which that cross saves you?
Only 60% of Americans even believe that hell exists, and only 2% are afraid they might go there. Most see hell in cartoon terms, with Satan in red tights and a pitchfork.
The Bible doesn’t: “Each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:13-15).
That’s where you and I would spend eternity, except that Jesus died in our place, paid for our sins, purchased our salvation, freed us from hell for heaven.
If you’re a bit apathetic on this Palm Sunday, or even worse, opposed to the message of this day, it’s for one of two reasons. Either you have not been saved from hell by the Lord Jesus, or you’ve forgotten that you have been.
This week I needed a brief diversion, so I went to see the movie The Core. A long story made short: the earth’s core has become dysfunctional, and all life on the planet will die. A brave group of “terranauts” travels to the core and restarts it. Most lose their lives to save ours. If this were really true, how grateful we would be for them today?
Someone did just that for us. How will you respond to him this morning?
Will you accept his gift, with joy? If the Iraqis would greet our soldiers this week with celebration, pulling down Saddam’s statues and welcoming our liberation, how will you welcome the Savior of your soul? Do you remember the time you asked him to forgive your sins and be your Lord? Have you met him personally? When? Will you today?
Will you tell his story? The crowds paved the path to Jerusalem with their palm branches—we pave it with our witness and ministry. Are you using your Impact card to pray for lost friends? Are you willing to find your spiritual gifts and discover your ministry? When we find joy we want to share it—it’s just that simple.
Do you have the joy of your faith this morning?
If you traveled to Hong Kong, contracted Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, but have been cured, you’ll be the most joyous person in the room. If you’ve heard this week the words, “Your cancer is in remission,” or even better, “The tests were wrong—there was no tumor at all,” your joy knows no bounds.
If you’ve been spared from death for life, you’re grateful to the one who saved you. If you’re not, it’s because you haven’t been saved, or have forgotten that you are. There is no third option.
C. S. Lewis was clear about our choices, in the most famous words he ever wrote: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
On this Palm Sunday morning we must each give Jesus either a crown of thorns or a crown of joy. Which will he receive from you?

'A hot drought': Warming is driving much of the Colorado River's decline, scientists say
Ian James
Since 2000, the amount of water flowing in the Colorado River has dropped 19 percent below the average of the past century, a decline that has left the Southwest on the brink of a water shortage.
Now, new research indicates that a large portion of that decline isn't due to less rain and snow falling from the sky, but to warmer temperatures brought on by climate change.
Scientists from the University of California-Los Angeles and Colorado State University found that about half the trend of decreasing runoff from 2000-2014 in the Upper Colorado River Basin was the result of unprecedented warming across the region.
“A good chunk of the decline we’re seeing right now is temperature-related. And as the Earth continues to warm, we’re going to see less flow in the river,” said Brad Udall, a water and climate scientist at Colorado State University who co-authored the research. “We need to prepare for a river that has significantly less water in it.”
Udall, together with UCLA researchers Mu Xiao and Dennis Lettenmaier, used a hydrologic model to examine the streamflow in the Upper Colorado River Basin from 1916 through 2014. They found the flow declined by 16.5 percent over the past century.
They calculated that 53 percent of the trend was linked to warming, which has shrunk the average snowpack in the mountains, boosted the uptake of water by plants and increased the amount of water that evaporates off the landscape.
“We separated the effect of different factors and determined the influences,” said Xiao, the study's lead author and a doctoral student in UCLA's Geography Department. “Aside from warming temperature, the precipitation also contributed to the drought. This was not obvious to us as the precipitation in the Upper Basin doesn't show a significantly decreasing trend.”
The researchers attributed the remaining 47 percent of the decrease in the river’s flow to shifts in precipitation patterns, with less rain and snow falling in four areas of Colorado that tend to be especially productive in feeding tributaries in the Rocky Mountains.
“The precipitation is falling in different places, places that aren’t nearly as effective in generating runoff,” Udall said. “It’s the heat and it’s also this changing pattern in precipitation from areas that are really productive in generating runoff, like the state of Colorado, to areas that are much less effective, like the deserts of Utah.”
Comparing two droughts
Udall and some other researchers have taken to calling the unrelenting dry spell the Millennium Drought.
The river's reservoirs have fallen dramatically since 2000. Lake Powell is now 47 percent full, and Lake Mead is just 38 percent full.
The scientists compared data for the Millennium Drought from 2000 to 2014 with a drought from 1953 to 1968. That earlier drought similarly shrank the flow of the river, but they found it was driven by a decrease in precipitation across the river basin, not by warming.
And when the researchers removed the influence of higher temperatures in their modeling and looked at precipitation alone, they saw that the 1953-68 drought became worse than the Millennium Drought.
“In the 1950s, there’s no warming signal there. It’s about the same as the long-term average, and so the precipitation decline fully explains that 1950s drought,” Udall said. “But to get into the 2000s drought, to explain it, you can’t just use precipitation. It’s a hot drought.”
The study, which was published Aug. 30 in the journal Water Resources Research, is part of growing body of scientific research examining how global warming is affecting the Colorado River and how rising temperatures are likely to affect water supplies in the future.
In another study last year, Udall and climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck used climate models to estimate a business-as-usual scenario of greenhouse gas emissions. They projected that without changes in precipitation, warming will likely cause the Colorado River’s flow to decrease by 35 percent or more this century.
The Colorado River and its tributaries provide water for about 40 million people and more than 5 million acres of farmland from Wyoming to Southern California.
The legal framework that divides the Colorado River among seven states and Mexico was established during much wetter times nearly a century ago, starting with the 1922 Colorado River Compact. That and subsequent agreements have allocated far more water than what flows in the river in an average year, leading to chronic overuse.
The treaties that originally divided the river allocated 7.5 million acre-feet of water per year for the four Upper Basin states; 7.5 million acre-feet for the Lower Basin states of Nevada, Arizona and California; and 1.5 million acre-feet for Mexico.
The river’s flow in recent years has been far less than the water doled out under those agreements. Since 2000, the river’s average flow has been less than 12.4 million acre-feet per year.
“It’s quite possible that we could see 12 million acre-feet or even less going out into the future,” Udall said.

The river is managed under a system that delineates between the Upper Basin and the Lower Basin, with the dividing line running through Lees Ferry in northern Arizona, just downstream from Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell.
Across the Upper Basin, which produces about 90 percent of the runoff into the river, the scientists said the trend in average annual temperatures from 1916 to 2014 was an increase of 1.8 degrees Celsius, or 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
"The entire West has become substantially warmer over the last 50 years or so. There’s no reason to think that that trend is going to reverse itself anytime soon given the continuing increase in greenhouse gas emissions. So, it seems pretty clear that that is going to be felt in the streamflows," said Lettenmaier, a UCLA professor who focuses on hydrologic prediction and water-climate interactions.
“If I was a water manager, that would be my concern," he said, "and I know that is the concern of the Bureau of Reclamation in particular.”
Water crisis spurs talks
With the levels of Lake Mead near historic lows, Reclamation Commissioner Brenda Burman and other federal officials have been urging leaders of water agencies in Arizona, California and Nevada to proceed with negotiations on a proposed drought-contingency plan under which each state would take less water from the reservoir to keep it from falling even further.
Under the current rules, if Lake Mead's water level reaches elevation 1,075 feet above sea level at the end of any year, the federal government will declare a shortage and supplies to Arizona and Nevada will be cut back. Federal officials have said the region will narrowly escape a shortage in 2019 but that a shortage may be declared in 2020.
To work toward a plan in Arizona, state Department of Water Resources Director Tom Buschatzke and Central Arizona Project General Manager Ted Cooke have been leading biweekly meetings since mid-July with a committee of stakeholders. In a joint statement this week, Buschatzke and Cooke said the goal is to have a plan in place before the end of the year representing “broad-based agreement” between parties including water districts, cities, farmers and tribes.
They said the plan, once finalized, won’t prevent Lake Mead from falling into a shortage but will “keep us and the Colorado River system from being in an even worse place.”

'We really need to open our eyes'
Connie Woodhouse, a professor at the University of Arizona who has studied the effects of warming on the Colorado River but wasn’t involved in the latest research, said the findings are interesting and informative. She said the analysis of variations in different sub-basins is new and important.
“The fact that the sub-basins have different contributions to total (Upper Colorado River Basin) flow, and that some basins have particularly large contributions, has been known, but this level of analysis hasn't been done before,” Woodhouse said in email.
She said the results underscore how critical some headwaters areas in Colorado are for the river’s flow — including watersheds where runoff feeds into tributaries such as the San Juan, Gunnison and Yampa rivers — and how sensitive the flow is to conditions in those areas.
She said the new information “gives us a better understanding of what seasons and regions are the ones that might be important to keep an eye on,” and might be useful for anticipating runoff in the future.
As for the finding that about half the decrease in river flow since 2000 was linked to warming, Udall said that he was initially shocked by the result but that he sees the numbers as plausible — and scary.
“The likely explanation for why they’re so high is that we now have a bunch of self-reinforcing feedbacks, a self-reinforcing cycle here, that promotes dryness,” Udall said. “We really need to open our eyes to the possibility for very large flow declines and how we would best manage our way through it.”
To deal with the situation, Udall said, it will be important for officials to allow as much flexibility as possible in how the river system is operated, and to optimize how water is used.
With hard choices ahead, he said, it may be that what emerges looks a lot different than how the river was managed in the 20th century.

Diary of a Tiger: w/c Wed 1 June
10 June 2022 Diane diary of a tiger

Chapter 22: Week commencing Wednesday 1 June
Last week’s diary should have finished on Wednesday, but I was so busy I didn’t have time to go into detail. I’ll do that now, but as this means this week’s diary will cover an extra few days, I’ll try and keep it short and sweet.
The only things I managed to do on Wednesday of mine were really faffy things. I did daily competitions, and I watched episode 8 of my Lester Dent Master Plot Formula lecture. Before I watched any of these, I opened up the version I have of the plot formula so I knew what I’d be learning about today. (It was about writing the last 1,500 words of the 4-part story.)
The rest of the day was editing. I’ve been having a right problem with the current Word file. It reminded me of why I dislike the program so much. It truly does have a mind of its own. There was a load of corrupt coding that had sneaked in and by the time I found most of it and replaced it with correct, there were far too many changes for the poor thing to track. So it kept freezing.
I tried copying and pasting the entire file into a new document and then stripped out all of the formatting, and then I started the electronic edit all over again. However, it seems I didn’t manage to strip out all of the coding because it just kept on crashing until eventually it repaired itself and I had to go back to the beginning. Again.
This meant the job was taking much longer than it needed to, especially as I had to start it again twice. But by the end of the day, it seemed to be working again.
I shared a currently reading graphic on Instagram and finished up last week’s Diary of a Tiger, but I finished work just as the poet was finishing cooking tea.
Thursday was supposed to be a bank holiday. However, thanks to Word playing up, I ended up working, with the intention of doing some more editing and, if I had time, writing up the first drafts of 2 short stories. I also had a Wordsworth Short to prepare and publish still.
Determined to at least feel as though it was a day off-ish, we got up late and I put some washing through. It was such a nice day, I wanted to get some washing on the line. Then, because I’d decided to work, the poet decided to go fishing. It was either that or go and mess in the garage and I think he wanted to take advantage of the nice weather too.
I still did the daily competitions, and I watched the last episode of my Master Plot Formula. Eventually, I sat down at my desk to do some work and… horror of horrors, my brand spanking new but cheap and crappy keyboard started to type rubbish all by itself, and if I tried to type something, the screen whited it all out.
I have no idea what was wrong with it. I played with the cables, tipped it up and emptied it of all the crud that gathers between the keys, tried switching everything off and on again, and tried a different program. But no. My keyboard wasn’t having any of it.
Worried that it might actually be the laptop that was playing up (also brand spanking new but certainly not cheap or crappy), I dug out my old gaming keyboard. And… voila! It worked. Or it is so far. So before it changed its mind. I cracked on with that work, after first sneaking a watch of the queen’s flypast for the platinum jubilee.
I uploaded another graphic to Instagram, this time June’s publications. Then the outline for the new ghostwriting job that starts on Monday arrived. I’d only been waiting for it for the best part of two weeks and here, on the first day of my short break, it was.
And then it was back to the editing… only it wasn’t. Because for some reason, the last known file that I’d been working on was modified at 15:38 the day before and had been given the suffix ‘(Repaired)’.
I didn’t finish working until 6:30pm at the earliest on Wednesday. Where had those 3+ hours of work gone?
Well, I searched and I searched. I checked my memory stick. I checked the hard drive. I checked the cloud. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Everything I’d done after 3:40pm the day before was gone.
To say I wasn’t happy is an understatement.
Once I’d got over the cursing and shouting and stomping about, I had to try and find out why it hadn’t saved my work. But I couldn’t. So then I tried several different scenarios, saving the file as a .doc, a .docx, a .rtf. But I couldn’t find the work and the file was still taking an aeon to load. I did some work on it, then it crashed and reverted back to that repaired version.
I got stuck in this loop for a few hours until in the end I just saved another version, stripped out ALL of the formatting, cleared ALL of the styles. And I started again… again. This time, with everything gone, I also had to go in and tell it how to do the footnotes, references and text – and this was a 600-page history book. It needs its footnotes.
So… that’s how the first day of my long weekend petered out.
On Friday, another holiday day, I wanted to at least have some holiday. However, before we did anything, I wanted to make sure that the file I’d been working on had survived.
It had. Phew!
So we went and did the shopping and the poet took me to buy a new keyboard and mouse. We went to the pet shop to buy supplies for the pets and the garden birds. And we went to visit the mother-in-law. When we got home, I had a sit down and a breather, and then it was back to work.
The file was still there, exactly where I left it. So now I’m wondering if the formatting or one of the styles had a bug in it. Stripping all the formatting used to be one of the very first jobs I did when editing a book. I think I’m going to revert back to doing that again. I lost far too much time over this.
I let GW1 client know that the outline looks fine and I can start it next week. I fitted my new keyboard and mouse, and then knuckled down to more editing work. This job needs to be gone now. Problems like this cause me to have enough of it and lose my patience. And when I lose my patience, I start to get cross at the silliest of typos or errors in a book.
Every time I made a comment, I had to take a deep breath first and paste an imaginary smile around my words. After all, it’s not the author’s fault that Word can be a complete arse at times. And nor is it the author’s fault that home-computer keyboards are not built to withstand the kind of wear and tear they get from someone like me who uses them day in, day out.
I took my time getting to where I’d got to when it all went wrong, and then called it a day, with the intention of having a good run at it before the end of the weekend.
On Saturday we went out to Spurn Point for a walk and a blow. We were lucky with the weather, although we should have taken proper coats with us. We walked for about 2 miles. It’s a lovely place, but the dog wasn’t allowed right out onto the point, so we had to walk along the estuary first and come back along the beach.
On Sunday, it apparently bucketed down for the entire day, so we chose the right day to go for the weather. On Sunday, we chilled.
On Monday, another Wordsworth Short was published.
Sunnymead Farm is another short story I wrote just for fun. I don’t think I even sent it out anywhere. It was one I did for my own amusement.
You can find all of my books on the BUY MY BOOKS tab on the blog, or you can go to www.books2read.com/DianeWordsworth.
Also on Monday, the poet finally had his operation. (See Wednesday’s post.) I drove him to the hospital in the morning (he had to be there at 7am!), and I went to visit him on the evening (it was a 60-mile round-trip both times). In between, I spent the entire rest of the day editing.
I wrote Tuesday off. (See Wednesday’s post.)
On Wednesday I was back at work and the first thing I had to do was make some sense out of my work schedule. I’d missed two days and had to move a lot of things along. I was up late anyway, after two long and tiring days, so the day started late. I wasn’t ready to actually do any work until 1pm, and then it was still mostly rejigging the schedule or catching up on the daily competitions.
I had another read-through of the outline GW1 client sent me for Book 10, but I’d already had a good read when he sent it to me to make sure it was ‘approved’ and that it’s unlikely to be withdrawn after I’ve already written 60,000 words… I won’t have time to start this new book this week, so I’ll be writing 2 chapters a day from Monday (4,000 words per day).
The rest of the day was spent on the editing job.
There was no portable garden again this week due to me catching up on work I didn’t do on Tuesday. I did the daily competitions, prepared another short story for publication, created the graphics for that, and then exchanged several emails with both the author of the editing job and the client. For the rest of the day I was working on that.
Today I want to get the next ghostwriting job set up on Scrivener, and I want to have another blitz at the editing. My own work, from much of this week, has been moved to the weekend. I need to work on that and not on client work.

What Really Happened Between Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville on 'RHOBH'?
By Joseph Allen
Aug. 19 2020, Updated 10:51 a.m. ET
Things are getting tense on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. On Season 10 of the Bravo reality series, cast member Denise Richards has been the source of a lot of drama — from getting upset at her co-stars for discussing raunchy moments in front of her daughters, to dealing with the allegations that she had an affair with RHOBH alum Brandi Glanville.
The issues are so extreme that there were rumors that Denise had quit the series mid-season, while the cast took a trip to Rome. She later denied exiting the show, but much of the season's most jaw-dropping moments do center around her.
What's the deal with the Denise and Brandi drama on RHOBH? Details on the salacious speculation, and what the two have said.
What's going on between Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville?
After months of teasing it on the show, the details of the alleged months-long affair between Denise and Brandi are about to be revealed. The Daily Mail was the first outlet to report on the affair between the two back in January of 2020.
According to Brandi, she and Denise were sexually intimate. Though Denise has been married to Aaron Phypers since 2018, Brandi said that Denise told her that their marriage was open. Denise has denied being more than friends with Brandi.
When did Brandi Glanville and Denise Richards start their alleged affair?
According to The Daily Mail, Denise and Brandi‘s relationship began in early 2019, and lasted through the middle of that year. Denise also reportedly misled Brandi, saying that she and Aaron were in an open relationship when that wasn't actually the case. A source told the outlet at the time that Brandi was upset that Denise had lied to her.
The rest of the cast found out about the purported affair while filming, but their exact reactions have yet to be seen on the show. In teasers for the series, Denise has discussed how a "secret" has the potential to end her marriage to Aaron.
Viewers have already seen Aaron insert himself into the group by defending Denise's frustration about the explicit conversations that her daughters overheard at her barbecue.
In April of 2020, cast member Erika Jayne confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that Denise had sent the cast and the crew cease and desist letters to end the discussions surrounding her alleged tryst with Brandi.
"Let me say this — I'm gonna go on the record — sending a cease and desist to [the network and your co-stars], that's like trying to break the house in Vegas. The house always wins. Don't be stupid," Erika said. "Save your money."
In the same interview, Erika also confirmed that Brandi had compelling text message receipts to corroborate her side of the story. But, she also admitted that the issue was far more complicated.
"Brandi's part of the story is backed up by receipts. But, there are always two sides to every story, and both women will have the chance to tell their complete story," Erika said.
The "Painkillr" singer also called the drama between the two a "slow burn," meaning that viewers might be waiting until much later on in the season to find out what exactly went down.
RHOBH airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Untreated or overlooked illnesses in a prison population can expose whole communities to the risk of infection from a contagious disease, according to a report from the National Center for Primary Care at the Morehouse School of Medicine.
The report, titled “Prison Health and the Health of the Public: Ties that Bind,” found that of the estimated 2.2 million incarcerated men and women, many suffer from HIV/AIDS, diabetes, hypertension or asthma. Even more suffer from undiagnosed or untreated mental illness.
Many health experts correlate the rise of HIV cases among Black women with the return of HIV-positive men after their release from prison.
“Once released, many former prisoners have no access to health insurance and, thus, no entrée to health services,” says the report.
The report says that in 2005, 8.1 percent of Black men between the ages of 25 and 29 were incarcerated, compared to 2.6 percent of Hispanics and 1.1 percent of Whites. The same data show that women represented 7 percent of all prisoners, an increase from 6.1 percent in 1995. Even so, men were at least 14 times more likely to be incarcerated in state and federal prisons. Racial and ethnic disparities appear to be consistent regardless of gender.
Williams says health care workers and policy makers must together work to expand health care coverage, increase the number of health care providers and address barriers to housing and employment among ex-offenders, among other recommendations.
U.S.-born Latinos, Asians and Caribbean Blacks Have Higher Rates of Mental Illness
A new study from the Cambridge Health Alliance has found that rates of psychiatric disorder among U.S.-born Latinos have increased substantially over the past decade.
The study, “Correlates of Past-Year Mental Health Service Use Among Latinos: Results From the National Latino and Asian American Study,” was led by Dr. Margarita Alegría, director of the Center for Multicultural Mental Health Research at Cambridge Health Alliance and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. The study was published in the American Journal of Public Health.
The authors examined data from the National Latino and Asian American Study to use in a national sample of Latinos residing in the United States.
The results: 30.2 percent of Latinas and 28.1 percent of Latinos had a lifetime prevalence rate of any mental disorder. Puerto Ricans had the highest overall prevalence rate among the Hispanic ethnic groups for any disorder. There were higher rates of psychiatric disorders among the U.S.-born, English proficient and third-generation Hispanics, says the study.
A study of immigration and mental disorders among Asians found that, among women, those born in Asian countries had lower rates of mental disorders than those born in the United States. Asian men who spoke English proficiently had lower rates of mental health problems.
A study of the mental health of Black Caribbean immigrants found that, when compared to Black Americans, immigrant women were less likely to suffer mental health problems. Black Caribbean men, however, were more likely to develop mental health issues.

For free and paid events
General conditions of participating in DQS events
These terms and conditions of participation apply to all bookings of events of DQS GmbH, DQS CFS GmbH, DQS BIT GmbH and DQS Medizinprodukte GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "DQS") between DQS and the customer. The term 'events' includes digital formats as well as attened forums, customer days, congresses, conferences, workshops, courses, seminars, and webinars.
The contact details of the specific provider within the DQS Group can be found in the respective event announcement.
2. Registration or Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The promotion of the event and other associated services on the homepages of DQS does not constitute an offer in the legal sense. Registration for our events can be made online via the registration form or by e-mail. The customer can submit an offer via the registration form integrated into DQS' online presences. After completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer regarding the selected events by clicking on the button that concludes the booking process. Before sending the registration form, the customer can continuously correct his entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions. In addition, all entries are displayed again in a confirmation window before the binding submission of the order and can also be corrected there using the usual keyboard and mouse functions. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer by e-mail stating the mandatory information required for the event.
2.2 DQS is entitled to accept the contract offer made by the customer in whole or in part. DQS is under no obligation to accept under any circumstances. Registration shall be deemed accepted if the participant has received a confirmation of registration from DQS in text form, for example by e-mail.
2.3 If the number of registrations exceeds the maximum number of participants, a waiting list will be set up and the persons concerned will be informed if places become available again.
3. Services, Dates, Right of Modification
3.1 Contractual performance is the right to participate in the event. Content, speakers, or lecturers as well as the course of an event depend on the pre-published event program.
[For the implementation of a face-to-face event on site, the hygiene concept published under link [---] at the time of the event applies.]
3.2 The event does not constitute a fixed transaction.
The date of the event can be postponed up to 7 days before the originally communicated date by DQS if there is an objective reason. Customers must be informed of the changes. DQS however is entitled to change individual program items of an event program at short notice, without prior notice and without the consent of the participant, if this does not affect the content objective of the event.
DQS is entitled to replace the announced speaker with another speaker at short notice if there is an objective reason. Such program changes do not entitle the customer to withdraw from or cancel the concluded contract, unless this changes the nature of the event, so that the contractual balance between the parties is not significantly disturbed.
3.3 At the DQS may, at its discretion and if there is an objective reason, change a presence event up to 7 days prior to the event date into
a hybrid conference, i.e. an event held both on-site and online, or
an online event.
3.4 A n objective reason exists in the event of temporary circumstances preventing DQS from providing its services for which DQS is not responsible, in the event of force majeure, in the event of measures to protect event participants, employees and speakers of DQS, in the event of an insufficient number of participants and in the event of the illness of a speaker. DQS's right to cancel the event pursuant to Section 5.4 shall remain unaffected. "Force Majeure" shall be deemed to exist in particular in cases of (i) war (declared or undeclared), hostilities, attack, acts of foreign enemies, extensive military mobilization; (ii) civil war, riot, rebellion and revolution, military or other seizure of power, insurrection, acts of terrorism, sabotage or piracy; (iii) currency and trade restrictions, embargo, sanctions; (iv) lawful or unlawful official acts, compliance with laws or governmental orders, expropriation, seizure of works, requisition, nationalization; (v) plague, pandemic, epidemic, natural disaster or extreme natural event; (vi) explosion, fire, destruction of equipment, prolonged failure of transportation, telecommunications, information systems or power; (vii) general labor unrest such as boycotts, strikes and lockouts, slowdowns, occupation of factories and buildings.
4. Revocation
Customers who are consumers (whose registration is not related to a commercial or professional activity) have the right to revoke their registration within 14 days of receipt of the registration confirmation without justification in text form (e.g., letter or fax). No cancellation fees will be charged in this case. The right of revocation can no longer be exercised once the event has taken place. To meet the revocation timely requirements, it is sufficient to send the cancellation within the 14 day time period. The revocation can be sent to the contact address stated at the end of the General Terms and Conditions of Participation, stating the event title, the event location and the event date.
5. Cancellation and Costs
5.1 Cancellation by the customer up to two weeks before the event date will incur 50% of the booking costs, thereafter 100% as cancellation costs if the event takes place. In case of no-show, 100 % of the booking costs will be charged as cancellation costs. Cancellation must be made in text form (letter, fax, e-mail); relevant is the date of receipt of the declaration.
5.2 Free events, that are offered in attendance including catering, can be cancelled by the participant free of charge up to 10 days prior to the start of the event. After that, if the customer fails to attend the event without informing us in due time, regardless of the reasons, he/she shall pay a fee in the amount of the catering costs incurred (min. 50 EUR).
5.3 Representation / Substitute Participant
The participant is entitled to send a representative (substitute participant) in the event of being prevented from participating. This requires prior coordination with DQS.
5.4 DQS reserves the right to cancel the event if a minimum number of participants is not reached or if speakers/lecturers are absent at short notice. In the case of fee-based events, the full refund of any participation fees already paid unless the date can be postponed in accordance with para. 3.2 or changed into a hybrid or online event according to para. 3.3 or other objective reasons within the meaning of para. 3.4, exist. Further claims of the participant are excluded.
5.5 Refund claims of the customer due to temporary interruptions of an event (especially in the case of digital events) are excluded. Program changes do not entitle the customer to withdraw from or cancel the concluded contract, insofar as this does not change the nature of the event as a whole, so that the contractual balance between the parties is also not significantly disturbed.
5.6 Any claims due to grossly negligent conduct on the part of DQS or a person commissioned by it shall remain unaffected.
6. Terms of Payment
6.1 For events subject to a fee, the participation fees specified in the announcement of the event and confirmed upon registration plus applicable value-added tax shall apply.
6.2 The participation fees are due for payment without deduction within 14 days after invoicing. Payment shall be deemed to have been received as soon as the equivalent amount has been credited to the DQS account. If invoices are overdue, incoming payments shall first be calculated on any costs and interest, followed by the payment of the outstanding amount.
7. Copyrights Event Documents
All documents that are handed out or made accessible either in paper form, on data carriers or electronically via links are subject to copyright. They are made available exclusively to participants to complement or enhance the event topics and may not be reproduced or published or made publicly available - not even in part - without the consent of DQS or the speakers and lecturers appointed by DQS.
8. Image and Sound Recordings
During the events, image and sound recordings can be made for public relations marketing purposes, which are used on dqsglobal.com, DQS social media channels and DQS advertising materials for public relations. By participating in the event, the customer agrees to the use of this material, on which he may be depicted.
9.1 DQS shall only be liable for damages – regardless of the legal grounds – in the event of intent and gross negligence. In the event of simple negligence, DQS shall only be liable for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health, or for damages resulting from the breach of an essential contractual obligation (obligation the fulfilment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the contractual partner regularly relies and may rely); in this case, however, the liability is limited to the compensation of the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
9.2. The limitations of liability resulting from Clause 9.1 shall not apply if DQS has fraudulently withheld a material defect or has assumed a guarantee. The provision of sentence 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to claims of the Customer under the Product Liability Act, should this apply.
9.3 This clause 9 also applies to breaches of duty by DQS’s agents and legal representatives.
All legal relationships between the parties shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the laws on the international purchase of movable goods. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
If the customer acts as a merchant, a legal entity with its registered office in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of DQS. If the customer has its registered office outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the place of business of DQS is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract, if the contract or claims from the contract can be attributed to the professional or commercial activity of the customer. In the above cases, however, DQS is entitled in any case to appeal to the court at the customer's registered office.
Verbal agreements require written confirmation to be binding.

All about Insulin
Every time you eat, your body releases a cascade of hormones in response. One of them is insulin. It is produced by your pancreas in response to dietary sugar (carbohydrates) to either utilize it as energy immediately or to store it as fat for future use. This mechanism was really, really important up until the last 100 years or so when our access to food became so abundant that, in the Western world, we really don't have to worry too often about when our next meal will come. If you're like me, you've been planning dinner ever since breakfast.
There are foods that result in a very small insulin response (fat and protein) and foods that result in a big insulin response (carbohydrates). The problem with the standard North American diet right now is that it's full of carbohydrates. I'm talking about cereal, bread, wraps, pitas, pasta, pizza, cake, candy, soda and slurpees, just to name a few. Our intake of carbohydrates has greatly exceeded our energy needs resulting in a lot of stored body fat. Once this happens repeatedly, our cells eventually stop responding and the sugar stays in our blood. When this continues to happen we are at risk of diabetes and its complications such as chronic kidney disease, foot problems, lower limb amputation, eye disease that can lead to blindness, heart attack, stroke, anxiety, nerve damage, and erectile dysfunction.
According to Stats Canada, Canadians polled in 2015 get between 45% and 55% of their overall calories from carbohydrates. If we assume that we are eating 2,000 calories per day, for example, that means we are eating, on average, 250g of carbohydrates per day (50% of calories from carbohydrates, carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram). It's brutally hard to find guidelines and recommendations on how many carbohydrates we should be eating. The Mayo Clinic recommends 225g to 325g per day. If that was the case, shouldn't Canadians be totally healthy and fit with what they are eating right now? Instead, 20 Canadians are diagnosed with diabetes every hour of every day. 11 million Canadians are diabetic or pre diabetic. According to Pew Research, just over the past 40 years, we've seen a huge uptick in chicken, grain consumption, cooking oils (which I do not consider quality fat) and corn sweeteners. That's a lot more carbs and processed foods.
Virta Health has been treating type II diabetes with a ketogenic diet and limiting carbohydrates to 30g per day with excellent results. I don't necessarily think we all have to go that low to start balancing our insulin levels. I do think we would all benefit from sticking to between 75g and 175g of carbohydrates per day. Keep it on the lower end if you are over weight, sedentary, pre diabetic or at risk for diabetes. If you are active and consider yourself overall healthy, you might be okay with upwards of 175g per day. Beyond diabetes and it's complications, if your insulin levels are constantly elevated, you are at risk for the following:
Gestational Diabetes (putting your child at risk of all of the above plus malformation and developmental disabilities)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
I truly think if more of us make managing insulin levels a priority, our health would be so much better. We can't control everything in our lives, but the food choices we make is something within our control multiple times per day, every day for the rest of our lives.

Implant Information
Of all the ways modern dentistry has to replace missing teeth, dental implants are by far the best. There is no tooth-replacement option that will give you a longer-lasting result. Implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost. Loss of bone is one of the major hidden consequences of losing teeth. A dental implant most often takes the form of a small, screw-shaped titanium post that replaces the root-part of a missing tooth. The surgical procedure used to place an implant is actually quite minor and routine, requiring only local anesthesia in most cases. After a healing period, the implant is topped with a lifelike crown custom-made to match your existing natural teeth. Implants have a documented success rate of over 95%, which is significantly higher than any other tooth-replacement option.
How Implants Work
During a minor surgical procedure, your dental implant is inserted directly into the jawbone in the space vacated by the missing tooth. It will then be left to heal for a period of months before the final crown is attached. During this healing period, the implant actually fuses to the bone surrounding it.
Tooth Replacement Options Using Dental Implants
Implants can replace missing teeth in a variety of ways. They can be used to:
Replace One Tooth — When you have one tooth missing, a single implant is inserted into the bone to replace the root part of that tooth; a crown then goes on top to simulate an actual tooth. This treatment choice has the highest success rate, making it the best long-term investment for replacing a single missing tooth. Even if the initial cost is slightly higher than other options, it is the most cost-effective solution over time. An implant will never decay or need root canal treatment, and it feels just like the tooth that was there.
Replace Multiple Teeth — When you have more than one tooth missing, implants provide an ideal replacement mechanism. You don’t even need one implant for every missing tooth. Instead, implant teeth can act as supports for fixed bridgework. For example, if you are missing three teeth in a row, we can place two implants, one on either side of the gap, and a crown in between that has no implant underneath. As a result, you won’t need to use any of your remaining natural teeth as bridge supports, which could weaken them and make them more susceptible to decay.
Replace All Teeth Permanently — Implants can support an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth that are fixed into the mouth and are never removed. Sometimes the new teeth can be supported by as few as 4 implants. It’s comparable to the structure of a table, which only needs 4 legs to hold it up. In cases where jawbone density and volume have deteriorated, 5 or 6 implants might be needed to support a row of 10 to 12 teeth. Dental implant replacement teeth protect your jawbone, won’t slip, and should last a lifetime.
Support Removable Dentures — Implants can even make removable dentures more comfortable, effective and healthier to wear. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and put pressure on the underlying bone. This accelerates bone loss so that the jaw shrinks and the dentures slip, particularly on the bottom. But today dentists can attach a removable denture onto implants, transferring that pressure into the bone structure rather than the bone surface. This prevents the dentures from slipping while you eat and speak, and preserves the bone directly beneath them.
There are only two ways an implant can lose attachment to the bone and fail once it has successfully fused: poor oral hygiene or excessive biting forces. Poor oral hygiene and/or a lack of regular cleanings can lead to a destructive bacterial infection called peri-implantitis. Flossing and brushing your teeth on a daily basis, along with regular professional cleanings, can prevent this. Excessive biting forces can come from either a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth, or an insufficient number of implants to handle the forces generated by your bite. You should receive the correct number of implants so this does not happen. And if you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, a night guard will be recommended to protect your implants. After all, implants are a long-term investment in your smile, your health and your well-being, so it’s best to protect your investment.
Implant Bone Grafting
When teeth are lost, the bone that used to surround them begins to melt away or “resorb.” Tooth-supporting bone can also be lost when you have periodontal (gum) disease. If you lose enough teeth and bone, your facial features will sag, giving you a more aged appearance; it can also complicate treatment to replace your missing teeth. Fortunately, with modern bone grafting-techniques, the bone that has been lost can be built up again. This can benefit both your health and appearance by strengthening your jawbone, allowing more effective tooth replacement, and increasing support to your facial features.
Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure that is normally done in a dental office. An incision is made in your gum to gain access to the bone beneath it, and then grafting material is added. Most often, the grafting material is processed bone minerals around which your body will actually deposit new bone cells. The grafting material itself can come from your own body, but very often it is bone from an animal or human donor that has been treated by a laboratory to make it sterile and safe. It can even be a synthetic substance. Grafting material comes in a variety of forms: powder, granules, putty or a gel that can be injected through a syringe. The graft, which is generally covered by a collagen membrane for optimum bone repair, will act as a scaffold onto which your body will build new bone.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole to ensure Canadian workers have their voices heard
Ottawa, ON – Today, the Hon. Erin O’Toole, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives, released his plan to ensure the needs of Canadian workers are being addressed by having a seat on the boards of directors. “Too many decisions at major corporations are being made without the people who helped build the company – the workers – at the table,” said O’Toole. “Canada’s Recovery Plan will give workers a real voice within these companies to support the long-term success of their employer, and ultimately, their ability to make a living.” To ensure workers’ needs are heard at the very top, an O’Toole government will require federally regulated employers with over 1,000 employees or $100 million in annual revenue to include worker representation on their boards of directors. Federally regulated sectors include aerospace, trucking, marine shipping, rail, oil and gas, mining, telecommunications, and banking. Together, these sectors employ hundreds of thousands of Canadian workers across the country. “As we work toward recovery, we have an opportunity to ensure Canadian workers go back to better jobs,” said O’Toole. “Canada’s Recovery Plan will stand up for workers and deliver jobs for all Canadians.” If you don’t care about getting Canadians back to work in every sector and every region of the country, you have three parties to choose from in this election. If you do, then there is only one choice – Erin O’Toole and Canada’s Conservatives. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2795 | {"url": "https://www.dsrn.ca/conservative_leader_erin_o_toole_to_ensure_canadian_workers_have_their_voices_heard", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.dsrn.ca", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:13:42Z", "digest": "sha1:3YLWAHCKSD7CF7IZILNJNM55MPKO4BQT"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1528, 1528.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1528, 2673.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1528, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1528, 46.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1528, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1528, 133.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1528, 0.35830619]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1528, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1528, 0.05755396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1528, 0.05755396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1528, 0.02557954]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1528, 0.02557954]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1528, 0.03677058]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1528, 0.0228013]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1528, 0.18566775]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1528, 0.5942623]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1528, 5.12704918]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1528, 4.71241248]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1528, 244.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 84, 0.0], [84, 1528, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 84, 0.0], [84, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 84, 12.0], [84, 1528, 232.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 84, 0.0], [84, 1528, 0.00496454]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 84, 0.0], [84, 1528, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 84, 0.07142857], [84, 1528, 0.02770083]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1528, 0.67707247]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1528, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1528, 0.12704015]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1528, -115.13602216]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1528, 46.51875309]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1528, -87.5374505]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1528, 11.0]]} |

Faculty & Staff, University News •
Three staff members and one department have been named winners of the 2020 Staff Awards. The winners embody the dedication and forward-looking spirit that drive DU to be its very best.
Outstanding Service Award: Deana Ahmad
The Outstanding Service Award is the highest award presented each year and recognizes a person who exemplifies the University of Denver’s mission.
Ahmad has been with DU since 2007, initially serving as both director of undergraduate and graduate student affairs in the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. Currently, Ahmad is assistant dean for students in the Graduate School of Social Work.
“Deana can often be found in spaces that invoke challenging conversations around race, equity and inclusion,” Jasmine Pulce, assistant director of affinity group support, writes in a nominating letter. “She has worked hard in multiple roles at varying levels to foster an environment of inclusion, especially for graduate students.”
According to Pulce, Ahmad helped students in Korbel find their voice and navigate campus politics, often serving as a liaison between students and administrators. At GSSW, Ahmad represents the only graduate school to have integrated power, privilege and oppression into its curriculum, and she continues to serve as a resource for graduate students as she did in previous roles.
“While some choose to stay silent because of what they might risk by speaking up or because of fear or discomfort, Deana is someone who speaks up — I have witnessed this bravery myself,” says Pulce. “As a former recipient of this award, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge those whose shoulders on which I stand.”
Quality Department Award: Custodial Services
The Quality Department Award honors the staff of a DU department for its outstanding service to the DU community.
More than 120 full- and part-time staff comprise the Custodial Services department within Facilities Management and Planning. Some of the employees have been with the University for as little as a few months, while others have been at DU for more than 40 years. The department is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of all interior spaces in academics and administrative buildings, as well as dining halls and common spaces in residential buildings.
Custodial Services is recognized for outstanding work during the COVID-19 pandemic that continues to this day. “The University remained open during COVID, and thus, there remained a need for custodial services,” one DU employee commented when nominating the department. “Whether it be utilizing new sanitation equipment or wearing new PPE, these staff, many of them immigrants to this country, deserve to be acknowledged for the risk and sacrifices they have taken on so that the rest of us are safe.”
Crimson and Gold Award: Brianna Johnson
The Crimson and Gold Award recognizes a DU employee who demonstrates outstanding commitment to and support of the University.
Brianna Johnson is a graduate of the University of Denver and has now worked for DU for the past six years. She currently works as an executive assistant in the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. However, for the preceding five years, she served as a program coordinator and a program manager with DU’s Living and Learning Communities (LLC). Johnson developed and executed academic courses and community-based programming for students in the wellness and environmental sustainability LLCs.
“Brianna has allowed our department to flourish during her six-year tenure with the program,” writes Molly Clarke, a program coordinator with LLC. “She goes above and beyond in her dedication to creating excellent programming and a well-running team. More than that, her passion for student success is incredible.”
Johnson is also co-founder of WORC, Whites Organizing for Racial Consciousness. The group serves as an informal network for DU community members eager to support racial justice and to acknowledge the responsibility white people have in building a more just and fair community in solidarity with people of color.
“WORC was a very ambitious project that took a lot of time and effort,” says Alex Parsons, also a program coordinator with LLC. “In the beginning, attendance at WORC meetings was low. Despite this, she persisted as she believed that it is of the utmost importance on campus.”
Staff Innovator Award: Shanna Pomager
The Staff Innovator Award is given to a DU staff member who has demonstrated creativity and innovation in work that advances the University’s strategic plan.
Pomager came to the University of Denver when she left Louisiana for college, and now, two decades later, she is the senior associate director of admission and the campus visit manager. When the pandemic forced everything online last spring, Pomager led the effort to evolve every aspect of the daily prospective student visit program and the admitted student yield program.
“It is utterly amazing once you think about all that has happened since March 14 and everything that has really been accomplished to bring in our first-year students this fall,” writes Jennifer Gross, her colleague in Undergraduate Admission. “Shanna and her team were able to envision and pull off an incredible achievement I believe few could have managed.”
While many universities struggled this year to meet enrollment targets, DU managed to recruit and enroll a first-year class that is similar in size and make-up to a typical year. “Without Shanna’s efforts, undergraduate admission may not have had as successful a year,” writes Craig Dionne, another colleague. “She worked tirelessly for weeks to get virtual tours, information sessions and special webinars planned, scheduled and executed.”

Over one-third of Turkey’s population is in debt
According to Treasury and Finance Minister Lütfi Elvan, nearly 35 million Turkish citizens hold personal loan debt, totaling nearly 875 billion Turkish Liras.

Serkan Alan / DUVAR
The Turkish Credit Registration Bureau and the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency have released data on personal debt, showing that as of June 2021, over 34 million Turkish citizens hold personal loan debt, totaling nearly 875 billion liras.
When asked in parliament about this figure by main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) deputy Sezgin Tanrıkulu, Treasury and Finance Minister Lütfi Elvan confirmed its validity. With skyrocketing inflation and plummeting individual GDP, this is yet another indicator of Turkey’s dire economic straits.
The data cited by Minister Elvan indicates that over one-third of Turkey’s population of over 85 million is in debt. This ratio is far higher in Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul: 13 million of the city’s population hold some form of personal loan debt, totaling over 252 billion Turkish Lira. In other words, over 85% of Istanbul’s population is in debt. In Ankara, Turkey’s capital, over 3 million people hold over 87 billion lira in debt.
Turkey’s economy has been in free-fall since 2013. According to World Bank data, individual GDP has fallen from a high of $12,614 in 2012 to $8,538 in 2020. Inflation rates have also been in double-digits since 2016. Food prices were up over 17% year-over-year as of June, and housing and rental prices have soared. This data on personal debt only further confirms that many Turkish citizens are no longer able to afford life in Turkey’s largest cities.
The cities with the lowest numbers of debt, cited by Minister Elvan, were far smaller municipalities in Turkey’s rural Anatolian regions. In Bayburt, in Central Anatolia, 36,595 people held over 413 million lira in debt, the lowest of any municipality in Turkey. In Tunceli, also in Central Anatolia, just over fifty thousand people held over 910 million lira in personal debt.
While the number of people in debt is lower in these cities, the ratio of indebted people to the population is high: in Tunceli, just under 60% of the total population is in debt, while in Bayburt that number is 44.5%.

NRC Announces Energy Star Market Transformation Award Winners
June 11th, 2012 by Editor
Natural Resources Canada (NRC) recently announced winners of the 2012 Energy Star Market Transformation Awards, which included a number of door and window manufacturers and suppliers.
Jeld-Wen of Canada was awarded Manufacturer of the Year – Windows, Doors and Skylights. The company has won three previous Energy Star Recognition Awards, for promotional campaign of the year, participant of the year and sustained excellence.
All Weather Windows Ltd. received the Energy Star Participant of the Year award, which is traditionally presented to a company or organization that has integrated Energy Star into all aspects of its operations.
Vinyl Window Designs Ltd. was presented the award for Advocate of the Year – Specific Product. The announcement points out that for the seventh year in a row, the majority of window dealers that became Energy Star participants are those that stock qualified products manufactured by Vinyl Window Designs Ltd. The company was also named Manufacturer of the Year – Specific Product in 2006.
The Home Depot Canada received the sustained excellence award. Previously the company received the Energy Star Retailer of the Year three times and Advocate of the Year once.

Liability insurance for directors and officers is not just for large public companies; it can be an equally valuable risk management tool for smaller businesses.
Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance helps protect directors and officers of public and private for-profit businesses of all sizes, as well as non-profit organizations, and educational institutions.
A D&O insurance policy provides financial protection for managers against claims arising from actual or alleged “wrongful acts” of directors and officers acting within the scope of their managerial duties. A D&O policy is designed to pay for defense costs and financial losses. It may also cover the costs associated with administrative and criminal proceedings and with investigations by regulators or criminal prosecutors.
D&O insurance is not designed to cover certain risks, such as those attached to fraud, intentionally bad acts, illegal remuneration, property damage and bodily harm, and pre-existing legal actions.
Primary D&O Risks
The risks confronting directors and officers are manifold, and may include:
Employment practices and other human-resource-related issues
Shareholder actions
Inaccurate and inadequate disclosure
Failure to comply with laws or regulations
Decisions that exceed the authority of a company officer
D&O insurance is not just about protecting directors and officers against the financial risks that may arise from the decisions they make. A key benefit of having such protection is that it provides company officers and members of a company board with the room to make decisions with the knowledge that the risks attached are manageable and transparent. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2799 | {"url": "https://www.eaglerockadvisors.com/resource-center/insurance/directors-and-officers-liability-insurance-1", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.eaglerockadvisors.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:05:29Z", "digest": "sha1:AMMZ2KKOHGDBYNJ3Y7H63FCB7HIG7ATF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1661, 1661.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1661, 4989.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1661, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1661, 82.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1661, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1661, 248.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1661, 0.35640138]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1661, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1661, 0.05194805]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1661, 0.08658009]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1661, 0.02308802]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1661, 0.05190311]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1661, 0.11418685]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1661, 0.54285714]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1661, 5.65714286]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1661, 4.54721304]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1661, 245.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 162, 1.0], [162, 373, 1.0], [373, 798, 1.0], [798, 996, 1.0], [996, 1014, 0.0], [1014, 1090, 0.0], [1090, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1208, 0.0], [1208, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1308, 0.0], [1308, 1661, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 162, 0.0], [162, 373, 0.0], [373, 798, 0.0], [798, 996, 0.0], [996, 1014, 0.0], [1014, 1090, 0.0], [1090, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1208, 0.0], [1208, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1308, 0.0], [1308, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 162, 25.0], [162, 373, 28.0], [373, 798, 63.0], [798, 996, 29.0], [996, 1014, 3.0], [1014, 1090, 11.0], [1090, 1151, 6.0], [1151, 1171, 2.0], [1171, 1208, 4.0], [1208, 1251, 7.0], [1251, 1308, 9.0], [1308, 1661, 58.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 162, 0.0], [162, 373, 0.0], [373, 798, 0.0], [798, 996, 0.0], [996, 1014, 0.0], [1014, 1090, 0.0], [1090, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1208, 0.0], [1208, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1308, 0.0], [1308, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 162, 0.0], [162, 373, 0.0], [373, 798, 0.0], [798, 996, 0.0], [996, 1014, 0.0], [1014, 1090, 0.0], [1090, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1208, 0.0], [1208, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1308, 0.0], [1308, 1661, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 162, 0.00617284], [162, 373, 0.01895735], [373, 798, 0.01647059], [798, 996, 0.01010101], [996, 1014, 0.22222222], [1014, 1090, 0.01315789], [1090, 1151, 0.01639344], [1151, 1171, 0.05], [1171, 1208, 0.02702703], [1208, 1251, 0.02325581], [1251, 1308, 0.01754386], [1308, 1661, 0.00849858]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1661, 0.08171666]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1661, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1661, 0.01057929]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1661, -40.59268189]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1661, 7.5301855]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1661, -1.25753027]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1661, 8.0]]} |
