St. Mary's is a challenging environment and a great school, but the most frustrating thing are the core courses which overlap many of the general requirements that transfer students will have completed at other colleges/universities. These St. Mary's Core courses are required even if you have similar requirements, so that it can take a bit longer to complete one's planned degree, so planning ahead is required.

The most frusterating thing about St. Mary's is the cost. It is extremely expensive, although it is a private school.
I love everything about my school! I wouldn't change the way it was. The staff and proffesor's are really caring.
The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of variety of food the students have to choose from. The cafeteria is a buffet, there is a subway, and chick-fi-la, but there is little else surrounding the campus. As far as healthy food goes, the students will have to go far off campus in order to find any or buy their own from a grocery store. There are also no personal kitchens on campus so students are limited to what they can eat.
There is nothing that frustrates me about the school, in my opinion it's a great school.
Geraldo
The financial aid gives my family and I a lot of trouble. With constant visits to the Financial aid office, I always find myself having to go back to resolve an issue. There have been many times that my family and I discussed my leaving since my family would sometimes not have the financial ability to pay for the tuition.
The most fustrating thing about my school is on campus jobs, most people dont have cars so when trying to find jobs on campus there are none, but they're students with work study who dont take advantage of it or even go, and it fustrates me and students who dont have it (like me) and is willing to work but cant get the job or get work study in general.
Nothing is frustrating about St. Marys, it is up to the students on what they let get in the way of their studies and if it be anything, it would be ,not having enough money to attend college or being in debt with student loans.
Probably the only thing that is frustrating is the lack of shuttles. Then again, since we don't have shuttles we get a good workout from walking around campus. Aside from that I don't find anything else to be a frustration.
The most frustrating thing about my school is that the student activites are not adequetly displayed in a medium where most students check. They are posted on walls and around school. The problem is that most of the time they are not taken down quickly after an event so the students dont bother to check the walls because they assume the posters on the wall are all old. The campus is pretty boring and the weight room really needs an upgrade especially for those of us who like to work out.
There is nothing bad to say about my school. I enjoyed every expereince and opportunity that came my way.
While I was looking for a school with a small class sizes, I gave up many of the social activities that big colleges offer. For example Football games.
The most frustrating thing about the school is trying to drop a class, you are required 3 signatures. One from your advisor, one from the dean, and one from the professor in whos class you'd like to attend. A lot of running around. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3201 | {"url": "https://www.unigo.com/colleges/st-marys-university/whats-the-most-frustrating-thing-about-your-school", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.unigo.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:49:27Z", "digest": "sha1:V6G42GIVQGWVI24DVFF6WELAIW6A7LT7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4133, 4133.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4133, 6643.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4133, 19.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4133, 102.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4133, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4133, 323.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4133, 0.50581395]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4133, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4133, 0.06073489]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4133, 0.04615852]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4133, 0.04615852]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4133, 0.02307926]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4133, 0.01700577]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4133, 0.03279684]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4133, 0.04190708]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4133, 0.01162791]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4133, 0.11744186]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4133, 0.40715268]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4133, 4.52957359]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4133, 5.09629953]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4133, 727.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 58, 0.0], [58, 111, 1.0], [111, 824, 1.0], [824, 1238, 1.0], [1238, 1245, 0.0], [1245, 1363, 1.0], [1363, 1477, 1.0], [1477, 1922, 1.0], [1922, 2011, 1.0], [2011, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2343, 1.0], [2343, 2698, 1.0], [2698, 2927, 1.0], [2927, 3151, 1.0], [3151, 3644, 1.0], [3644, 3750, 1.0], [3750, 3902, 1.0], [3902, 4133, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 58, 0.0], [58, 111, 0.0], [111, 824, 0.0], [824, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1245, 0.0], [1245, 1363, 0.0], [1363, 1477, 0.0], [1477, 1922, 0.0], [1922, 2011, 0.0], [2011, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2343, 0.0], [2343, 2698, 0.0], [2698, 2927, 0.0], [2927, 3151, 0.0], [3151, 3644, 0.0], [3644, 3750, 0.0], [3750, 3902, 0.0], [3902, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 22, 3.0], [22, 58, 5.0], [58, 111, 8.0], [111, 824, 107.0], [824, 1238, 66.0], [1238, 1245, 1.0], [1245, 1363, 20.0], [1363, 1477, 20.0], [1477, 1922, 84.0], [1922, 2011, 16.0], [2011, 2019, 1.0], [2019, 2343, 60.0], [2343, 2698, 70.0], [2698, 2927, 45.0], [2927, 3151, 40.0], [3151, 3644, 91.0], [3644, 3750, 19.0], [3750, 3902, 28.0], [3902, 4133, 43.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 58, 0.0], [58, 111, 0.0], [111, 824, 0.0], [824, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1245, 0.0], [1245, 1363, 0.0], [1363, 1477, 0.0], [1477, 1922, 0.0], [1922, 2011, 0.0], [2011, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2343, 0.0], [2343, 2698, 0.0], [2698, 2927, 0.0], [2927, 3151, 0.0], [3151, 3644, 0.0], [3644, 3750, 0.0], [3750, 3902, 0.0], [3902, 4133, 0.00446429]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 58, 0.0], [58, 111, 0.0], [111, 824, 0.0], [824, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1245, 0.0], [1245, 1363, 0.0], [1363, 1477, 0.0], [1477, 1922, 0.0], [1922, 2011, 0.0], [2011, 2019, 0.0], [2019, 2343, 0.0], [2343, 2698, 0.0], [2698, 2927, 0.0], [2927, 3151, 0.0], [3151, 3644, 0.0], [3644, 3750, 0.0], [3750, 3902, 0.0], [3902, 4133, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.13636364], [22, 58, 0.13888889], [58, 111, 0.01886792], [111, 824, 0.02805049], [824, 1238, 0.01449275], [1238, 1245, 0.14285714], [1245, 1363, 0.03389831], [1363, 1477, 0.02631579], [1477, 1922, 0.00898876], [1922, 2011, 0.01123596], [2011, 2019, 0.125], [2019, 2343, 0.02160494], [2343, 2698, 0.0028169], [2698, 2927, 0.01310044], [2927, 3151, 0.01785714], [3151, 3644, 0.00811359], [3644, 3750, 0.01886792], [3750, 3902, 0.03289474], [3902, 4133, 0.01298701]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4133, 0.23780781]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4133, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4133, 0.05427718]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4133, -107.49205276]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4133, 5.75519707]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4133, -318.15674194]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4133, 52.0]]} |

7 Comments on Parking Guru Donald Shoup to Speak at Mercantile Library Next Tuesday
Donald Shoup, world renowned economist and researcher, will be speaking at the Mercantile Library on October 28.
For those unfamiliar with his work, he is a forerunner in examining the effects of parking policy on urban economics, which he presented in his 2005 book The High Cost of Free Parking. The book was preceded by an article of the same name, which Shoup wrote in 1997.
Mandated parking requirements, it seemed, was an issue that many planners felt ill-equipped to tackle. It had not been lectured on in their classes, and textbooks were often silent on the matter. And according to the American Planning Association, planners requested information on this topic more than any other.
Mandated minimum parking requirements have been a zoning code staple since the widespread adoption of the automobile. For example, a zoning code may require that apartment buildings supply one parking space per unit, or that a restaurant provide one parking space for every 300 square feet of space used by patrons. While parking minimums are typically set by the use of a property, they vary based on what kind of zoning district the property is found in – for example, a low density, auto-oriented district will require more spaces than a dense area that is more walkable.
As planners wrote their zoning codes, they had few tools at their disposal to discern where they should set their parking minimums, which led to the common practice of borrowing numbers used by other cities that often did not account for local conditions. And as Shoup found, even if planners could observe capacities and usage for, say an office building, not every office building was created equal. An office building that allowed employees their own offices instead of cubicles would have fewer employees per square foot and therefore should conversely be assigned a lower parking spot minimum.
And since minimums were based on the maximum capacity for a particular use, an additional quandary arose from requiring parking that would very certainly sit unused most of the time.
Upon examination of the issue, the numbers used to set minimum parking requirements were considered arbitrary – a best guess, and applied with broad brushstrokes. Therefore, Shoup set out to examine where and how the cost of this imposition on property development was being absorbed.
Analyses were able to estimate how much development costs increase due to parking minimums, and the results bred a new understanding of how parking requirements can increase the cost of real estate, particularly in urban areas. A portion of these costs are presumably passed on to tenants and patrons, regardless of whether they own a car and utilize a parking space.
When applied to denser historic districts built before the automobile, lots frequently are not large enough to provide the amount of spaces that a zoning code may require for parking. The result is a tangible barrier to redevelopment, revitalization and the adaptive reuse of buildings.
Brian Bertha, a researcher in California, analyzed project costs before and after the establishment of parking minimums in 1961 in Oakland. He found that after the requirements were put in place, construction costs per dwelling unit increased 18%, housing density fell by 30%, and land values decreased by 33%.
In Shoup’s research he speculates that if “emancipated from minimum parking requirements, land and capital will shift from parking to uses that employ more workers and pay more taxes.”
Instead he advocates making parking a pay-per use amenity, and thus encourage greater use of public and active transportation. Furthermore, he believes that revenues generated from on-street parking be utilized within neighborhood improvement districts in order to provide more amenities in those districts.
Just as we are taught in economics class that “there’s no such thing as a free lunch,” Shoup uses his skill for economic analysis to illustrate that there’s no such thing as a free parking space.
Driving is still necessary for ease of accessing employment in most American cities, but Shoup’s analysis allows policy makers to think critically about the interconnectedness of these policies, and the role that a thoughtful approach can play in reducing congestion, decreasing auto-dependence, and removing barriers to investment.
If you would like to attend Dr. Shoup’s lecture, he will be speaking downtown at 6pm at the Mercantile Library at 414 Walnut Street. Tickets can be purchased online for $10 for members and $15 for non-members.

The following is illustrative of acceptable experience: field or laboratory work that would require application of hydrologic theory and related sciences such as geology, geo-chemistry, geophysics, or civil engineering to making observations, taking samples, operating instruments, assembling data from source materials, analyzing and interpreting data, and reporting findings orally and in writing. In some cases, professional scientific experience that is not clearly water resource experience may be acceptable if such experience was preceded by appropriate education in hydrology or by professional hydrology experience.
Applicants with related experience in hydrology gained through earlier Federal Government employment might have gained that experience in one or more occupational series. Such series include Soil Conservation, GS-457; Forestry, GS-460; Soil Science, GS-470; Civil Engineering, GS-810; Chemistry, GS-1320; Meteorology, GS-1340; and Geology, GS-1350. Comparable non-Federal experience may be given similar credit.

Biden urges use of ARPA funds for transportation, public health at NLC conference
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden implored a large crowd of city, town and village leaders to spread the impact of funds provided by last year's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and infrastructure law when he spoke at the National League of Cities' (NLC) Congressional City Conference Monday afternoon.
The ARPA legislation, which passed a year ago this month, contains $130 billion to be funneled directly through municipal and county governments. "As a former local official, I know that it matters having that flexibility and control to meet both the short-term and the long-term challenges you face," Biden said.
When NLC President Vince Williams noted how "cumbersome" it can be for small and midsized cities to access funds, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said, "We get it. We're going to make it easier," and he described visions of a user-friendly, more efficient "Common App"-inspired interface for applying for grants.

by Vein Clinic Long Island | Mar 18, 2023 | Venous Insufficiency
If you’re wondering whether or not you should get your varicose veins treated, you’re not alone. Varicose veins are a common condition that affects millions of people around the world. While they may not always be a serious medical concern, they can cause discomfort, pain, and swelling in the legs. Furthermore, if left untreated, varicose veins can lead to more serious conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and venous stasis ulcers. In this article, we will discuss how Long Island Vein Center, a group of vein centers led by board-certified vein doctors, can help treat venous insufficiency in the legs.
What is Venous Insufficiency?
Venous insufficiency occurs when the valves in the veins of the legs do not function properly, leading to the accumulation of blood in the veins. The veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart, and the valves in the veins prevent the backward flow of blood. In venous insufficiency, the valves do not function properly, which results in blood flowing backward and pooling in the veins.
When blood pools in the veins, it increases the pressure inside the veins, causing them to become stretched and dilated. This results in the formation of varicose veins and spider veins. In addition to these visible signs, venous insufficiency can also cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, and leg ulcers. There are several factors that can contribute to venous insufficiency, including genetics, age, pregnancy, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.
How Do We Diagnose Venous Insufficiency?
At Long Island Vein Center, we use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose the root cause of venous insufficiency. Vascular imaging and duplex ultrasound are non-invasive diagnostic tools that allow us to visualize the blood flow in the veins and identify any areas of blockage or reflux. These diagnostic tests are painless and do not require any downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately after the appointment.
Once we have diagnosed the root cause of your venous insufficiency, we will curate a personalized treatment plan that targets the specific problem areas. This may include a combination of minimally invasive procedures such as sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal, ClariVein, and ambulatory phlebectomy, as well as lifestyle modifications such as wearing compression stockings and increasing physical activity.
During the initial consultation, we will also ask about your medical history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. This information helps us to better understand your unique needs and goals, and to create a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you. Our team of board-certified vein doctors is dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care to each and every patient, and we look forward to helping you achieve healthier, happier legs.
Do Varicose Veins Cause High Blood Pressure?
While varicose veins are often associated with high blood pressure, they do not actually cause it. However, high blood pressure can contribute to the development of varicose veins by putting extra pressure on the veins in the legs. Additionally, if you have varicose veins, you may be at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure due to the extra strain on your circulatory system.
Does High Blood Pressure Cause Varicose Veins?
Similarly, while high blood pressure can contribute to the development of varicose veins, it does not actually cause them. However, if you have high blood pressure, you may be at a higher risk of developing varicose veins due to the extra strain on your circulatory system.
Treating Venous Insufficiency
At Long Island Vein Center, we specialize in minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of varicose veins and other venous insufficiency conditions. Our team of board-certified vein doctors will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
One of the most common treatments for venous insufficiency is compression therapy. This involves wearing compression stockings or socks that help improve circulation in the legs. Compression stockings work by applying pressure to the legs, which helps to improve blood flow and prevent blood from pooling in the leg veins. While compression stockings can improve blood flow and prevent the condition from worsening, they can’t treat the underlying problem. The only way to treat venous insufficiency is with minimally invasive procedures.
We offer a variety of minimally invasive procedures to improve blood flow and reduce the appearance of varicose veins. These procedures include:
Sclerotherapy: This involves injecting a solution into the affected veins, which causes them to collapse and eventually fade away.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): This procedure uses laser energy to close off the affected vein, which helps to reroute blood flow to healthy veins.
Radiofrequency Ablation: Similar to EVLA, this procedure uses radiofrequency energy to close off the affected vein.
VenaSeal: This is a newer procedure that involves using medical adhesive to close off the affected vein.
ClariVein: This procedure uses a rotating catheter to deliver medication to the affected vein, which helps to close it off.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy: This involves making small incisions in the skin to remove the affected varicose veins.
Which Procedure is Right for You?
The best treatment for your venous insufficiency will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of your condition, your medical history, and your personal preferences. At Long Island Vein Center, our board-certified vein doctors will work with you to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
Choosing the Best Vein Center
When choosing a vein center for the treatment of your varicose veins, it’s important to look for a center that specializes in minimally invasive procedures and is led by board-certified vein doctors. At Long Island Vein Center, we only offer minimally invasive spider vein and varicose vein treatments, such as sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal, ClariVein, and ambulatory phlebectomy. Our team of board-certified vein doctors has extensive experience in the field of venous insufficiency and is committed to providing the highest level of care to our patients.
In addition to our expertise, we also offer free insurance verification even before the first appointment, so you can have a clear understanding of your coverage and costs upfront. We have several convenient locations across Long Island, including West Islip, Jericho, Hampton Bays, and Port Jefferson, making it easy for you to access the care you need. Contact us today to schedule a consultation at your nearest vein center in Long Island and take the first step toward healthier legs. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3209 | {"url":

Inclusion, Equity & Psychological Safety Are Key Components In Preventing Burnout.
Our Beating Burnout blog shares the real life burnout stories of real people. We focus on how burnout impacted them, how they overcame it and what advice they would give people to prevent it.
In January 2022 we sat down and spoke with Jasmin. Here is Jasmin’s story…
Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
I’m Jasmin, the CEO and Co-founder of deidei.
We’re a diversity, equity and inclusion consulting agency that supports organisations with their DEI journeys. I studied international politics at university and have a background in communications and marketing. I have been working in the DEI space for the past 4 years.
I was born in Tampere, Finland, to a mixed family – I'm a “third culture kid”. And I love dogs. One visited our office earlier today and it was the best thing ever!
Can you let me know what happened in your situation?
It started early on in my life. At school, I was known as a “kympin tyttö”.
[A note from Stef: “kympin tyttö” doesn’t have a direct English translation but it means something like “the girl who scores 10s” i.e. an overachiever.]
Since then, once I have achieved something, I have to quickly move on to the next challenge. I am also someone who likes to be involved in lots of activities at the same time. At school I worked at a cafe, at university I worked at Ikea and when I began working I was still writing my final university thesis. This behaviour is not just the result of my own characteristics. My experiences as a marginalised person in the Finnish society has shaped the way I think, feel and act.
Growing up as a woman and a person of colour, from a cultural and ethnic marginalised background, has meant that I have had to deal with a lot of minority stress throughout my entire life. Discrimation, gaslighting, tone-policing and structural inequalities have been commonplace for me – and this has been exhausting. Navigating this throughout school and university was difficult enough. Unfortunately, when I entered the working world it didn’t get any easier.
A couple of years back, I ended up with really bad burnout. I don’t know how to quite explain it, but it was like all the little streams all came together to make a much bigger river. My learned need to overachieve, being involved in lots of activities at the same time, the minority stress I have faced my entire life, difficult company cultures, the pandemic, these were all of the little streams. The much bigger river was my burnout.
Is there anything else you remember about that time?
Yes. The strange thing is that my burnout symptoms did not appear until a few months after entering a new, safer working environment. Before then, I must have been in survival mode. It wasn’t until I felt safe again that I started to feel the cumulative effects of the experiences I had gone through.
I remember starting my work, one day in summer some years back. As I opened my laptop and started touching the touchpad, my hands were shaking and I was crying about everything. I couldn’t open Slack. Every part of my body was preventing me from working, both emotionally and physically. Every obstacle that came my way felt super heavy. I was having trouble speaking and remembering things. My cognitive function had been severely affected. It had gotten that bad.
Eventually, I called a doctor and was given sick leave immediately. I was tired all of the time, no matter how long I slept for and I remember thinking: “will I ever be the same?” The symptoms didn’t go away immediately, even during my sick leave. Thankfully, most of my symptoms have now gone away.
I’ve been managing my burnout for the last few years. The recovery does take longer than the time you get for sick leave, so when you return to work you also need to make sure that you are working in a more sustainable way, and that the culture around you is much healthier.
What are you doing to successfully manage your burnout?
Unfortunately, most of the tools I did use were taken away during the pandemic. But regular exercise, like yoga, has been really helpful for me.
This might sound twisted, but becoming an entrepreneur has also been a tool that has helped me recover from my burnout. Sure, it can be really challenging at times, but the freedom and autonomy I now have has made my recovery much easier. For starters, I am more in control of the environment I operate in. It’s psychologically safe and I have been able to play a big part in that. This has felt extremely liberating.
Have you been able to address your “kympin tyttö” mindset?
Trust me, I’ve tried. But I have come to the conclusion that it is a typical gender role that many women internalise at a very early stage in society. My marginalised ethnic minority background has also created more levels of it. I have felt like I have had to work twice as hard in order to be qualified, taken seriously, or even just accepted.
I am still decoding these internalised conceptions that I have had since I was a child. It’s continuous work for me. I am making progress, but at the same time, society and working life has to evolve too.
Is there anything in your story that you wish would have gone differently for you?
I wish I would have had tools and knowledge at an earlier stage, to recognize situations where my experiences had been gas-lit, minimised or questioned. Often in situations where I raised structural issues, I ended up being viewed as the ‘difficult woman of colour.’
To be in those situations creates psychological unsafety and is emotionally exhausting.
[A note from Stef: I asked Jasmin what being gas-lit meant. She told me that it’s when someone makes the other person question their own reality. It’s a very subtle way of manipulation. For example, if I were to tell my manager that I think I experienced some racism. They might say that it was only a joke and I shouldn’t take it too seriously.]
What advice would you give people to prevent burnout?
If you belong to an underrepresented group, find inclusive leaders who will act as your allies when work becomes difficult. These are people who will stand in solidarity with you and are committed to building inclusivity with you. Through my own experiences this is one of the key factors that has helped me manage my own burnout. Now, I am lucky to be constantly surrounded by people with whom I feel psychologically safe.
How can you identify these people?
That’s a good but also a very hard question. For me those people have been the ones who have an ability to reflect on their own actions, receive feedback openly, learn new things, unlearn old things, recognise and mitigate their biases, and stay accountable.
Anything else you want to add?
I really want to send out a message to all leaders and emphasise that inclusion, equity and psychological safety are important components in preventing burnout. They are not mutually exclusive. They all contribute to one another.
We need to speak more about how to manage the long term effects of burnout and how we can change the way companies work so burnout doesn’t happen in the first place.
For as long as unsustainable working practices, unsustainable ways of looking at efficiency, and toxic leadership exist - burnout will always be a problem.
If you felt inspired by Jasmin’s story, or just want to say thanks, you can.

Youth, Interrupted: The Heartbreaking, Hidden Lives of Transgender Teens
After meeting with transgender teens across America, I saw how anti-transgender "bathroom bills" have tragically disrupted an entire generation.
"Youth, Interrupted" is a series on trans teens in the United States whose lives have been dramatically disrupted by anti-trans "bathroom bills" and other political battles. Watch and read more from the series here.
Last month, I travelled across the country to meet three transgender teenagers whose lives were upturned by spitfire political debates around bathroom access. Today, Broadly is releasing the result of that journey. Youth, Interrupted is a three-part documentary series that intimately tells their stories, and also includes profiles and portraits of other cis and trans people affected by the ongoing political battle.
Our intention is to pivot the transgender "bathroom bill" debate away from red herring arguments about privacy and predators, and instead toward the truth: Anti-transgender legislation is an obvious violation of civil rights, and when these laws and policies are put in practice they severely disrupt the lives of trans kids and their families.
The bathroom argument has been burning for several years, but it became inflamed in early 2016, when North Carolina passed a discriminatory law called House Bill 2 (HB2)—legislation that required North Carolinians to use the bathroom that accords to the sex indicated on their birth certificate. Bills like HB2 are cropping up by the dozens in state legislatures across the nation.
The ACLU challenges policies and laws like these in court. In 2015, they sued on behalf of a transgender student named Gavin Grimm, who has since become a figurehead of transgender civil rights. Today, the issue is only getting worse. Early in 2017, the Department of Justice under Donald Trump rescinded the Obama administration's guidance to protect trans students, spurring the Supreme Court to drop Gavin's case—which means that there is still no formal protection for trans students at the federal level.
The separation of boys and girls is easy for adults to argue about at the dinner table, town hall meetings, or in court. But in classrooms and school hallways that span America, a generation of transgender children stands to lose everything.
In Delaware, I met a thirteen-year-old trans girl named Trinity who has been homeschooled since kindergarten because her school's administration refused to accept her as a girl. Trinity transitioned at 4 years old. Before that, she was despondent and depressed. Her mother DeShanna showed me photographs at their dinner table. It was late in the afternoon, and the low-hanging sun cast shadows over the empty face of a child with a shaved head.
By that time in her young life, Trinity had stopped responding to her birth name. Her mother would call out, but Trinity would ignore her; she had receded into an internal world and spent days in silence. Transition breathed life back into DeShanna's daughter. By refusing to treat Trinity like a girl, the school system threatened to return Trinity to that dark and lonely place. But because DeShanna had to homeschool Trinity, she also had to quit her job, and their family subsequently fell into poverty.
From Delaware, I flew to North Carolina, the hellmouth of anti-trans legislation. In Charlotte, a sixteen-year-old trans boy named Vinnie prepared to meet with his principal to discuss why he isn't allowed to use the boys' bathroom. Vinnie nearly lost his life during a long, painful struggle with gender dysphoria. Though his school touts itself as an inclusive, pro-LGBT facility, he and other trans students are fighting for an inclusive bathroom policy that doesn't segregate them from the rest of their classmates.
Finally, I traveled to rural Virginia to meet Gavin Grimm. In the parking lot outside a post office in Gloucester County, he told me that his boyhood was stolen from him.
Gavin transitioned during the summer before his sophomore year. Now he's about to graduate, and it appears that his adolescence was taken from him, too: Gavin has been in a legal battle with his school ever since he transitioned. On top of homework, puberty, and the awkward obstacles of adolescence, he has had to fight publicly for the right to use the bathroom. That fight started small, but in a few short years it become more important than he could have ever imagined.
Gavin is a funny, unassuming kid with a pet pig. He lives in a town where the behavior of vultures makes front page news and steeples pierce the horizon; it's easy to forget that he is the plaintiff in a landmark civil rights case that could dramatically impact the lives of trans people across the US.
In Delaware, North Carolina, and Virginia, I met three teens who are cruelly caricatured in anti-transgender legislation. They are beautiful, funny, brilliant young people who have had their lives interrupted by out-of-touch adults. The subjects in this series have witnessed firsthand the evil of well-intentioned ignorance. I saw it embodied most distinctly in a pastor in a small white chapel in southern Virginia. During our interview, Ralph Van Ness likened people like Gavin, Trinity, Vinnie, and me to criminals, offering our surrender to Christ as salvation.
As her children dug up carrots in their garden, racing across the lawn with their hands in the air, DeShanna told me that she is still struggling to rise out of poverty. Vinnie continues to experience severe emotional distress due to discrimination, and his mother Jennifer has had to take days off work to support him as he tries to achieve equality at school. Gavin, the good-humored boy from the sticks, is their unlikely martyr.
One thing became clear to me on the road—you don't know what it is like to be a transgender teenager today unless you are one. For the first time in American history, trans kids are coming of age with the knowledge that their bodies are not prisons, that gender isn't stone. They have hope that I never had, but their lives are still threatened by out-of-touch authorities—their youth, interrupted.

UNWTO: International Travel Largely on Hold Despite Uptick in May
Madrid, Spain, July 22, 2021 / TRAVELINDEX / The biggest crisis in the history of tourism continues into a second year. Between January and May, international tourist arrivals were 85% below 2019 levels (or a 65% drop on 2020), UNWTO data shows. Despite a small uptick in May, the emergence of COVID-19 variants and the continued imposition of restrictions are weighing on the recovery of international travel. Meanwhile, domestic tourism continues to rebound in many parts of the world.
The latest UNWTO data shows that over the first five months of the year, world destinations recorded 147 million fewer international arrivals (overnight visitors) compared to the same period of 2020, or 460 million less than pre-pandemic year of 2019. However, the data does point to a relatively small upturn in May, with arrivals declining by 82% (versus May 2019), after falling by 86% in April. This slight upward trend emerged as some destinations started to ease restrictions and consumer confidence rose slightly.
Accelerating the pace of vaccination worldwide, working on effective coordination and communication on ever changing travel restrictions while advancing digital tools to facilitate mobility will be critical to rebuild trust in travel and restart tourism
Rebuild trust to restart tourism
“Accelerating the pace of vaccination worldwide, working on effective coordination and communication on ever changing travel restrictions while advancing digital tools to facilitate mobility will be critical to rebuild trust in travel and restart tourism” says UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili.
By regions, Asia and the Pacific continued to suffer the largest decline with a 95% drop in international arrivals in the first five months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2019. Europe (-85%) recorded the second largest decline in arrivals, followed by the Middle East (-83%) and Africa (-81%). The Americas (-72%) saw a comparatively smaller decrease. In June, the number of destinations with complete closure of borders decreased to 63, from 69 in February. Of these, 33 were in Asia and the Pacific, while just seven in Europe, the region with the fewest restrictions on travel currently in place.
By subregions, the Caribbean (-60%) recorded the best relative performance through May 2021. Growing travel from the United States has benefitted destinations in the Caribbean and Central America, as well as Mexico. Western Europe, Southern and Mediterranean Europe, South America and Central America saw slightly better results in May than in April.
Mixed outlook for remainder of 2021
International tourism is slowly picking up, though recovery remains very fragile and uneven. Rising concerns over the Delta variant of the virus have led several countries to reimpose restrictive measures. In addition, the volatility and lack of clear information on entry requirements could continue to weigh on the resumption of international travel during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer season. However, vaccination programmes around the world, together with softer restrictions for vaccinated travellers and the use of digital tools such as the EU Digital COVID Certificate, are all contributing to the gradual normalization of travel.
In addition, domestic travel is driving the recovery in many destinations, especially those with large domestic markets. Domestic air seat capacity in China and Russia has already exceeded pre-crisis levels, while domestic travel in the United States is strengthening further.

Can Robinson yet lead an unlikely Easter rising?
by Rick Everitt
Having taken four points from their last two matches, the chances of Charlton being relegated to League Two for the first time in the club’s history have thankfully receded.
Manager Karl Robinson has attempted to frame the challenge facing the team in its final matches as finishing top of the nine – or ten – club min-league at the foot of the third-tier table.
The fact the number of teams in his nominated group changed when the Addicks edged above Northampton Town perhaps illustrates what a strange argument this is.
However, with all three matches remaining against teams below 15th-placed Charlton, Robinson is likely to be judged by fans against several historical benchmarks.
The first, simply, is to avoid defeat against Gillingham on Easter Monday.
While SE London based Charlton fans eschew the description of this clash as a derby - and those of us in East Kent can testify that the Gills are equally invisible at the coastal end of Kent - this is a fixture that does have local pride as stake for the significant contingent of Addicks in the Medway Towns and thereabouts.
Moreover, Charlton haven’t lost a league fixture to these particular neighbours since 1929 and Gillingham have never won at The Valley, their three wins in 27 attempts all coming on home territory in the 1920s.
Movingly swiftly past the FA Cup humiliation at Priestfield in 2004, it has to be acknowledged that Gillingham have been getting closer to lowering Charlton’s colours in recent years. The Addicks were lucky to get a draw on their two most recent visits, requiring an own goal in 2009 and late penalty last October to secure a share of the points.
Indeed, with the 2-2 draw at The Valley in March 2010, it’s 36 years since either team recorded a victory in the fixture. The rare meetings in Charlton’s two promotion campaigns of 1974/75 and 1980/81 both ended 2-1 at The Valley and 1-0 at Priestfield.
More meaningfully, Gillingham’s 3-1 win over Bristol Rovers on Good Friday was their first in six matches and went a long way to easing their own relegation fears. Should they win at The Valley, they will go above Charlton, opening up the possibility of them finishing above the Addicks for the first time since 1926.
Therein lies the second historical challenge for Robinson. He has to get the team up to 14th or better – in effect escaping the mini-league of his construction – to avoid the Addicks’ lowest finish in 91 years. That badge of dishonour currently belongs to Theo Foley's 1973/74 side, which finished 14th despite the presence of Mike Flanagan, Derek Hales, Keith Peacock and Colin Powell in its ranks.
With a zero goal difference and three clubs clustered four points above them, there is still a chance to do that if he can secure six or more points from the final matches, which take in trips to doomed Chesterfield and the final-day Valley clash with teetering Swindon Town.
That situation cannot be entirely pinned on a manager who took over 19 games into the 46-game season, but there is no escaping the awfulness of his own record with just five wins matches to date, an average of one point per game.
Over a full season that would be highly likely to see a club relegated, with or without the “famous trainer” who owner Roland Duchalelet claimed was sacked in 2014 for a similar performance.
In fact, the draw at Coventry City on Good Friday means it is now statistically impossible for Robinson to end the season with a better record than his sacked predecessor Russell Slade, even if the Addicks win all their final three fixtures.
Such an outcome, however unlikely, would at least avoid a humiliation of historic proportions. Beating Gillingham, who have sold more than 2,000 advance tickets for the Easter Monday clash, is a necessary but not sufficient part of even that modest task. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3215 | {"url": "https://www.votvonline.com/home/the-2016-17-blogs/16-4-can-robinson-yet-lead-an-easter-rising/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.votvonline.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:58:40Z", "digest": "sha1:4K42IEYZ4W4MKJV45T7JZHXLV4JYQQAO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3874, 3874.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3874, 14104.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3874, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3874, 282.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3874, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3874, 290.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3874, 0.44313725]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3874, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3874, 0.00956023]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3874, 0.01402167]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3874, 0.00956023]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3874, 0.00261438]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3874, 0.14117647]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3874, 0.52023988]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3874, 4.70464768]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3874, 5.35031617]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3874, 667.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 1.0], [49, 65, 0.0], [65, 239, 1.0], [239, 428, 1.0], [428, 587, 1.0], [587, 750, 1.0], [750, 825, 1.0], [825, 1151, 1.0], [1151, 1362, 1.0], [1362, 1709, 1.0], [1709, 1963, 1.0], [1963, 2281, 1.0], [2281, 2681, 1.0], [2681, 2957, 1.0], [2957, 3187, 1.0], [3187, 3378, 1.0], [3378, 3620, 1.0], [3620, 3874, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 65, 0.0], [65, 239, 0.0], [239, 428, 0.0], [428, 587, 0.0], [587, 750, 0.0], [750, 825, 0.0], [825, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1362, 0.0], [1362, 1709, 0.0], [1709, 1963, 0.0], [1963, 2281, 0.0], [2281, 2681, 0.0], [2681, 2957, 0.0], [2957, 3187, 0.0], [3187, 3378, 0.0], [3378, 3620, 0.0], [3620, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 8.0], [49, 65, 3.0], [65, 239, 29.0], [239, 428, 35.0], [428, 587, 26.0], [587, 750, 23.0], [750, 825, 12.0], [825, 1151, 59.0], [1151, 1362, 35.0], [1362, 1709, 61.0], [1709, 1963, 45.0], [1963, 2281, 55.0], [2281, 2681, 68.0], [2681, 2957, 49.0], [2957, 3187, 43.0], [3187, 3378, 33.0], [3378, 3620, 42.0], [3620, 3874, 41.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 65, 0.0], [65, 239, 0.0], [239, 428, 0.0], [428, 587, 0.0], [587, 750, 0.01265823], [750, 825, 0.0], [825, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1362, 0.04830918], [1362, 1709, 0.02339181], [1709, 1963, 0.09836066], [1963, 2281, 0.0192926], [2281, 2681, 0.03076923], [2681, 2957, 0.0], [2957, 3187, 0.01777778], [3187, 3378, 0.0212766], [3378, 3620, 0.0], [3620, 3874, 0.01619433]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 65, 0.0], [65, 239, 0.0], [239, 428, 0.0], [428, 587, 0.0], [587, 750, 0.0], [750, 825, 0.0], [825, 1151, 0.0], [1151, 1362, 0.0], [1362, 1709, 0.0], [1709, 1963, 0.0], [1963, 2281, 0.0], [2281, 2681, 0.0], [2681, 2957, 0.0], [2957, 3187, 0.0], [3187, 3378, 0.0], [3378, 3620, 0.0], [3620, 3874, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.06122449], [49, 65, 0.125], [65, 239, 0.02298851], [239, 428, 0.01587302], [428, 587, 0.02515723], [587, 750, 0.01840491], [750, 825, 0.05333333], [825, 1151, 0.03680982], [1151, 1362, 0.02369668], [1362, 1709, 0.02881844], [1709, 1963, 0.03543307], [1963, 2281, 0.03459119], [2281, 2681, 0.0375], [2681, 2957, 0.01811594], [2957, 3187, 0.00434783], [3187, 3378, 0.01570681], [3378, 3620, 0.03719008], [3620, 3874, 0.01968504]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3874, 0.85585183]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3874, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3874, 0.83896899]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3874, -132.91652865]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3874, 86.49876882]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3874, -5.63125071]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3874, 23.0]]} |
Some libertarians cheer when the government shuts down. Here’s why they shouldn’t.

Outside contributors' opinions and analysis of the most important issues in politics, science, and culture.
Libertarians believe in smaller government. How much smaller? Roughly back to its size and scope in the 90s — that is, the 1790s.
So one might naturally assume that libertarians would cheer federal government shutdowns. These do not stop all federal government activities, but they at least suspend some parts temporarily. And no doubt many libertarians do find government shutdowns appealing.
But I think that view is a mistake. Perhaps shutdowns serve the libertarian view in a small way by illustrating that government is not as essential as past and present gloom-and-doom commentary suggests. After all, the United States has experienced 18 shutdowns, of varying size, since 1976, and in each case, the world kept spinning on its axis.
They have no meaningful effect on how much the government spends, however. To begin with, shutdowns are (presumably) temporary. The average length of previous government shutdowns was seven days. And if history is a guide, then most of the suspended expenditures for salaries, benefits, and the like will be paid retroactively. If you think a shutdown helps keep the budget in check, you’re wrong.
Shutdowns also have zero effect on entitlements like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare, which continue automatically unless Congress explicitly amends them. Shutdowns only influence discretionary spending that has to be reauthorized every year. Because entitlements constitute the large majority (roughly 67 percent) of federal expenditure, and because this component is growing at an unsustainable rate, shutdowns cannot have any meaningful impact on the budget deficit. And even with discretionary spending, around half is exempt given that many Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security functions are exempted from the shutdown, because they are considered “essential” services.
What’s more, praising the shutdown lends credence to the view that libertarians hate government in all its forms, which is not accurate. A full cessation of all spending, tomorrow, is not the libertarian dream. Libertarians believe most government impinges our freedom and reduces economic efficiency, but we do not hate government as a matter of principle; we merely argue it should be much smaller. And the process for winnowing out important projects from non-essential ones ought to be reasoned and democratic, not the result of a showdown between two parties all too happy with big government (even if their preferred programs differ).
There is, moreover, no evidence that shutdowns persuade voters that we could do without many of the services that cease during a shutdown. Federal outlays as a proportion of national GDP have fluctuated over the past 40 years, but overall they reveal a gradually increasing trend; shutdowns don’t bend the spending curve downward in a meaningful way. (The month-long shutdown in 1995-1996 helped put pressure on the Clinton White House to balance the budget, but those gains were small and short-lived.)
Libertarians will happily vote to reduce most government, but in an orderly way that gives current beneficiaries time to adjust and allows private markets and institutions to develop in the place of government.
Given the abrupt personal and economic disruption shutdowns cause, they may actually hurt the cause of small government. During the last shutdown before the present one, in 2013, approximately 850,000 federal workers were furloughed for 17 days. For many of them, the uncertainty of not being paid for weeks likely caused short-term financial stress as well as decreased economic activity. Past shutdowns also resulted in disruptions to government services like passport renewal, national park staffing, and federal court activity, which greatly inconvenienced citizens and businesses. Under principled small government, you’d be able to get a passport; the implication that less government equals chaos hurts our agenda.
Libertarians will only succeed in reducing the size of government when they convince non-libertarians that smaller government is better. A government shutdown does little to nothing to change minds. In fact, many institutional fixes — such as adopting balanced budget amendments, or imposing term limits, or insisting that every new regulation undergo an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office — do not directly limit government, and politicians are adept at circumventing them. For example, unfunded liabilities for Social Security and Medicare, or generous pensions paid to state and local employees, allow governments to expand while still appearing to satisfy balanced budget rules. But even though institutional fixes aren’t the most effective way to reduce the scope of government, they are less destructive than ceasing to conduct congressional business in regular order and forcing the hurried passage of stopgap spending bills.
Any reductions in government achieved by this shutdown will be minor and temporary. Shutdowns distract from the serious conversations that need to be had about fiscal reform and the size of government.

This past Sunday's Oklahoman (06.20.2021) featured a front-page article on Critical Race Theory. My friend Carla Hinton, the superb Faith Editor for The Oklahoman, wrote the article.
Carla correctly quotes me saying, "Critical Race Theory has nothing to do with Christianity."
But the pastor of Oklahoma City's 5th Street Baptist Church, Byron Coleman III, is then quoted in response to my statement, "Jesus was concerned with the lost, the least and the oppressed. How does it not fit in that? Because it doesn't fit in the narrative of white impunity."
I am accustomed to Baptist pastors disagreeing with me. For example, I believe the Bible teaches that both men and women are qualified for leadership in the church and society because of the Spirit's giftings, and not a specific gender. In addition, I have long taught that "to forbid" the speaking in tongues is a direct violation of the command, "Forbid not the speaking in tongues" (I Corinthians 14:39), even though I've never had the "gift of tongues." These and other issues have caused some Baptists to see me as a "liberal." But now, with Critical Race Theory at the forefront of our churches and our society, some (wrongly) think that I am a political right-wing conspiracist.
In reality, I am a follower of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of Christ is more important to me than any denomination or creed of man. I believe in what Christ teaches, just like Pastor Byron Coleman. We mutually agree that Christians should have a concern for the least, the littlest, and the lost. But Pastor Colemen and I disagree on the means by which Christians should relieve this oppression. I state clearly:
Critical Race Theory is incompatible with true Christianity
I can assert this fact boldly by using the words of the founders of Critical Race Theory in comparison to the words of Jesus Christ (a special thanks to Ryan Chapman for the graphics). I will point out THREE major FACTS about Critical Race Theory (from the writings of its founders) that make CRT incompatible with Christianity.
FACT #1: CRT PROMOTES RACISM, CHRIST REMOVES RACISM
Whereas a follower of Jesus Christ will be "color-blind" and see the value of a human being not "in the color of their skin, but in the content of their character" (Martin Luther King, Jr.), Critical Race Theory moves away from Christian character, conduct and Christian beliefs of the former Civil Rights Leaders by actually calling on people to SEE color. All shadow boxes below with yellow highlights are the writings (and words) of the founders of Critical Race Theory. In their own words, they show they are anti-Christian, anti-American, and ultimately anti-Civil Rights.
A Christian who follows Christ must be blind to the color of one's skin. The Good News of Jesus Christ drives the Christian to no longer "see color". Galatians 3:28 states: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
However, a proponent of Critical Race Theory calls on you to SEE color. Integration as a result of the Christian principle of "the brotherhood of all mankind" is anathema to proponents of CRT. To believe in a meritocracy based on achievement, regardless of the color of one's skin, is not possible if one promotes CRT.
CRT proponents ask you to see WHITE skin and then harbor animosity toward WHITES because they have inherent power in America. In other words, the only way to be ANTI-RACIST is to see WHITE people and to know them to be racists. Therefore, anything constructed by WHITES (the American Republic, the legal system, the police, and military, etc.) must be DECONSTRUCTED because they were built on shameful WHITE supremacy values, culture, and habits. For black people who oppose CRT (e.g. Candice Owens), they are racists as well because they have INTEGRATED their thinking with that of the WHITE racists.
Fact #2: CRT DESTROYS; CHRIST TRANSFORMS
Critical Race Theory calls for the DECONSTRUCTION of American culture, government institutions (including the military and police), education, and capitalism because these are built on WHITE values and an inherent belief in WHITE supremacy. Therefore, the United States of America - its culture, capitalism, Christianity, and customs - must be DECONSTRUCTED (a polite way of saying "Destroyed."). It's "okay" to riot and destroy businesses built on capitalism because capitalism is all about WHITE supremacy.
Fact #3: CRT is MARXIST; Christ Is KING.
The 1917 Revolution in Russia and the 1949 Revolution in China were both the result of principles advocated by Karl Marx. Marxism as a political philosophy seeks to rid a country of anything "old" - old customs, habits, culture, and ideas - by FORCING equality. Whereas Marxism sought to divide people by CLASS, Critical Race Theory seeks to divide people by race.
Jesus Christ is the great UNITER. Critical Race Theory is the great DIVIDER.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we cannot advocate Critical Race Theory. It is diametrically opposite of the teaching, practice, and conduct of biblical Christianity.
If CRT is successful in deconstructing the Republic of the United States of America, the United States will soon look like present-day China and Russia. We will be a country run by Big Brother, big government, and a totalitarian leader who removes personal liberties.
Do not let it happen in your lifetime.

It is possible for many good people, when asked to identify their race, to write in 'human'. So a lot of thoughtful people did, thereby confounding those social scientists collecting sociological data used to assist in making public policy. Having been thwarted, the response was then to ask people to identify their race/ethnicity, hopeful that folks would write down something about their 'ethnicity' that revealed more than just the word 'human'. :)
I suspect that the whole controversy that has arisen is some kind of reaction to departing from examining faith, philosophy, and the usual humanities; and instead,
taking a really good look at how peoples' diversity affected the formation of actual laws and public policies over time, including just how far the laws and policies either affirmed OR steered clear of affirming 'what is the worth of a single human person?'
NOW, when people got down to specifics which philosophers and theologians did not grapple with,
specifics such as economic impact on diverse peoples, the effects of power structures of diverse peoples which 'sorted' humans into 'categories' that then allowed for 'less than' equal treatment backed up by the laws and the power structures in place........
that's when people got shook up by even the idea that this way (of looking at how a whole society evolved to come to terms with diversity) was based on more than thoughtful analyses by responsible theologians, philosophers, and let's face it - most people of good will. (In short, we tried.)
Even now, in the confusion and attacking of of one another, we still are asking and perhaps we will always ask
'what is the value of a single human life, a single human person?'
but now people are asking HOW and IN WHAT WAYS have we as a nation affirmed or failed to affirm respect for persons over time, in our laws and public policies,
and it's these specifics which are painful indeed when examined in this way.
No wonder there is controversy and lack of understanding. No wonder.

So what can we do to stop this.

Keep spreading the word. Keep speaking up and out. Take individual liberty seriously and refuse government Big Brotherism.
"I have borne children and seen most of them sold into slavery, and when I cried out with a mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me."
(Sojourner Truth)
There are those who will always say
'some things are best left forgotten'
There are others who have always said
'never forget'
There is some thought that we have citizens in our country who 'share' multiple reasons for experiencing more than one kind of injustice. Sojourner Truth had known the lash on her back and she also stood up for the rights of women of all races, so for me, she models one kind of American hero whose life was not vanquished totally by the compounded sins of racism and misogyny. I don't see her as something who 'threatened' what was right about our nation. I see her as someone who saw its promise, and was a witness that in America, people could survive the hate and contempt leveled at them and stand up for the coming of right to be done.
The laws of our land have a history. It's complex and fascinating, some not pretty, but the ways in which our laws came to be and to change are part of our national story.
In the history of the laws of our land, is also a story of hope for change for better to come. It's an American story we shouldn't 'look away'from or 'forget'
about, but examine for those insights into 'who we are as a nation'.
Those 'insights' are of value to us. We ignore the past at our peril.

The meaning of the word 'martyr' in the Church is 'WITNESS'
"Where Bonhoeffer had caught a glimpse of the living church in the United States in 1931 was in the historically black churches. He participated in Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church during his first visit and was captivated by the lively worship, the immediacy of Christ in the midst of suffering, the active and prophetic resistance to racism and its powerful expressions of faith in the music of the spirituals.
In the later essay, he remains troubled by the legacy of slavery: segregated worship, the white church’s guilt, and the racialized construction of Christ. Racial reconciliation within the church as well as society, he predicted, must be a primary task for the future of American Protestantism."
“Bonhoeffer’s time at Abyssinian “marked the beginning of something,” she said.
He was arrested in April 1943 and imprisoned by the Nazis until 1945, when he was hanged just few days before the end of World War II. Bonhoeffer is one of six Christian martyrs remembered with busts in the sanctuary of Beeson Divinity School’s Hodges Chapel."

Most theologians worth their salt are troubled by human slavery. They've just never been able in the history of the world and mankind to eradicate it. Slavery is not a legacy exclusive to blacks alone.
1943 was a long long time ago.
RB Kuter said...
I wonder why it is helpful to identify one's gender, ethnicity, or religion, on secular employment, education, and government forms? Age? I can understand. But not the other classifications.
What if there was no consideration to a person's gender, color, origins, or ideology when hiring or delegating government support/subsistence?
I'm trying to think of advantages in doing that and am open to altering my knee-jerk impression about it, so maybe you can enlighten me as to why it is necessary.
One additional thought on requiring those classifications: doesn't the use of such measures intensify all sorts of tendencies toward prejudice, injustice, partiality, or discrimination?
Hello Mr. Kuter,
good questions
I think what gets 'intensified' is when a person lives with multiple issues which double, triple, or more, their chances of being victimized.
Example: you perhaps have a woman addicted to pain medications who is a single mother, who is also African American, homeless, unemployed, lesbian, and mentally challenged. I call it a 'compounded' woundedness where the human person may encounter many types of discrimination, injustice, prejudice, and so forth DEPENDING on which category(categories) the world decides to inflict discrimination upon.
Some people involved with sociology have a term for it also: intersectional discrimination. Apparently, this is a universal phenomenon which is being studied all over the world for what can be gleaned from it that may be of value, especially since so many refugees have sought asylum in lands far different in culture from their own. An example: this study from Finland:
https://www.abo.fi/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2002-Makkonen-Multiple-compound-and-intersectional-discrimination.pdf
Specifically, I can imagine MANY concerns people might have about the issues of those who 'fit certain categories', sure. That's why it is SO important for Christian people to respect that the dignity of the human person resides in the fact that they were created in the image of God, and that this dignity cannot, must not, be taken away from them regardless of their circumstances.
You, yourself, seem to understand, with great respect, the value of a single human life.
Tue Jun 22, 12:07:00 PM 2021
Understanding the "value of a human life" does not necessarily mean tailoring laws,life and religious precepts in catering to the various issues of "compounded woundedness". That's where the rub comes.
Last night at our men’s Bible study, I asked our Fannin County Association missionary, Darrel Hathcock, (we’re good friends) when were we going to ask you to come lead us in a revival. He said, he was going to get with our pastor about that.
Our Bible study is the Book of Acts (my favorite). Last night was:
“But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message…” (Acts 9:15 NLT)
That reminds me of ‘many are called, but few are chosen’.
Paul knew ‘God’s heart’ better than Peter:
“But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision.” (Galatians 2:11-12 NLT)
Paul understood God’s plan:
“…The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.” (Galatians 3:24-25 NLT)
James had a different view of the law than Paul:
“…you will be judged by the law that sets you free. There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.” (James 2:12-13 NLT)
Wed Jun 23, 05:40:00 AM 2021
"7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."
(from the Holy Gospel of St. Matthew chapter 5)
Loved your lazer-like comparison of perspectives between Paul and James on the role of "the law".
Raises several questions in my mind posed by the obvious deconstructive agendas within organized Christianity being offered by some Me Too activists as well as the racism and marxism constituting the basis for CRT.
Your impression on that issue is not knee jerk IMO. The less data we provide on employment apps these days, the less stats being used to legitimize equitability at the expense of both equality and productivity in America.
Never sought or found employment through standard "conventional" apps or 3rd parties. Locate and interact with decision makers personally and apart from the internet and third parties.
We've got computer algorithms of social engineering deciding "the worth of individual human souls".
Would love to hear Christianne's take on that.
"...But to him who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one."

Wade, I read this blog and then consulted the Encyclopedia Britania. Seems to be quite a bit of difference between the two. Any comment?
Wed Jun 23, 12:48:00 PM 2021
Today’s Herald Democrat newspaper:
“The Rev. Wade Burleson knew some might criticize him if he publicly condemned the critical race theory. Nevertheless, the outspoken past from Enid made it clear that he would vote to approve a resolution denouncing the controversial academic concept if it was introduced at the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting.
For Burleson, the issue of critical race theory was simple:
“It has nothing to do with Christianity,” he said during an interview…Burleson said every Southern Baptist would say racism is sin, it is ungodly and has nothing to do with real Christianity.”
Scott Shaver,
Thanks. All Scripture not reference is from Acts written from NLT.
It’s important that Paul heard Steven’s prayer before he was killed: “…Lord don’t charge them with this sin…” (7:60) because Paul will repeat the same prayer before he died.
“…Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles! You can’t become famous if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, show yourself to the world! For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.” (John 7:3-5)
Since James missed the teachings of Jesus, why was he selected to be the pastor of the Jerusalem church? Politics! (He was the brother of Jesus!)
JAMES WARNS PAUL HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER
“The next day Paul went with us to meet with James and the elders of the Jerusalem church…You know, dear brother, how many thousands of Jews have also believed, and they all follow the law of Moses very seriously. But the Jewish believers in Jerusalem have been told that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn their backs on the laws of Moses. They’ve heard that you teach them not to circumcise their children or follow other Jewish customs. What should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.” (21:18-22)
Scott, I believe the thousands of Jews James referred to was his church. Paul was the hero of the Gentile churches. If his church killed Paul, James would lose control of the Gentile churches. Paul was in Jerusalem 3 days before he met James and the elders. This gave them time to come up with a ‘plan’ because in the same breath they asked “What should we do?”, they had the answer.
“Here’s what we want you to do. We have four men who have completed their vow. Go with them to the Temple and join them in the purification ceremony, paying for them to have their heads ritually shaved. Then everyone will know that the rumors are all false and that you yourself observe the Jewish laws.” (21:23-24)
Scott, James wants Paul to go to the Temple where the Jewish Leaders are! “Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me the thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned…” (Second Corinthians 11:24-25)
Scott, Paul goes to the Temple 7 days to complete his vow. Maybe because his head was shaved, no one recognized him. There’s no proof of what I believe that James told a cohort to identify Paul to someone that wouldn’t recognize him.
“The seven days were almost ended when some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul in the Temple and roused a mob against him…” (21:27)
“As they were trying to kill him, word reached the commander of the Roman regiment…He immediately called out his soldiers and officers and ran down among the crowd. When the mob saw the commander and troops coming, they stopped beating Paul.” (31-32)
Scott, at Paul’s first trial before Felix only his accusers were present. James and the elders were absent in capture 24. (Paul will refer to their absence in 2 Timothy.)
Book of Second Timothy Overview - Insight for Living Ministries
“Paul wrote 2 Timothy from a dark and damp Roman prison cell, just before his death in AD 67.”
“…The time of my death is near.” (2 Timothy 4:6)
Scott, remember the prayer Paul heard Steven pray?
“The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. MAY IT NOT BE COUNTED AGAINST THEM.” (2 Timothy 4:16)
I believe he was referring to the ones that called him “…dear brother…” (Acts 21:20)

Very intriguing Rex. Thanks for sharing.
An interesting confrontation about CRT and the military:
https://youtu.be/h535TzrcjUE
Political 'talking points' are repeated and taken up by 'sides' but frequently slanted one way or another. The idea for some is to denigrate or 'label' what is opposed or to praise what is promoted.
But occasionally, people will actually have an opportunity to examine issues in ways that offer more of substance than what talking points can provide. I do think it is better for the healing of divisions for there to be discussions which are more of dialogue than anything a 'talking point' can bring to the table.
When 'dialogue' opens the door to substantial discourse on an issue, people can begin to see WHY something is meaningful to others. It is at that point that real understanding can take place. When people accuse without evidence and refuse to at least debate an issue, I want to know 'why'. What causes that refusal? Are these people afraid or is there some other reason(s) we all need to know about?
Sorry Christianne: The days of fruitless dialogue are over. Time to fight.
This soldier should stick to what he knows rather than fumbling with what he doesn't IMO.
It is interesting because the military is now attempting to root out extremism by promoting racist and queer ideaology.
With military oversight like this, what nation needs enemies?
Precisely.
Very interesting take on an event in the New Testament that I've never thought through.
Christiane,
We may not always agree, but I must say, your spirit and love for me and those who disagree with you is why I consider you to be a wonderful example of what it means to follow Christ. Please don't be discouraged if I do not respond to all of your comments. I read them, I think about them, and even if I do not agree, I always respect the person from whom they come.
Don't CARE WHY racism and marxism are "meaningful" to others. Not in the least interested in WHY.
Interested in fighting and resisting it at every turn from EVERY quarter.
Thanks, WADE.
We may sometimes disagree, but I also respect you as a person who is unafraid to stand up for innocent people who are being persecuted. That, to me, is a stellar mark of character. It doesn't get much better.
I do hope the Good Lord watches over you and keeps you safe from all harm. Maybe REX RAY can spare some of those power-house guardian angels who watch over the Ray family? In any case, may you live and be well. God Bless!

Wade and Scott,
Someone told about his friend, “He didn’t live right, but he died good.”
I believe it was the same with James. There are other accounts, but they’re pretty much the same as the one below.
Death of James, Jesus' Brother (christian-history.org)
“He was the only one allowed to enter the temple alone, and he prayed and asked forgiveness for the Jews so much that his knees became hard like a camel's. He was known as “The Just”.
The Pharisees thought they could get James to discourage the people from believing in Jesus. They asked him to stand at the pinnacle of the temple on Passover and speak. They shouted to him from below: Oh, righteous one, in whom we are able to place great confidence; the people are led astray after Jesus, the crucified one. So, declare to us, what is this way, Jesus?”
James replied: “Why do you ask me about Jesus, the Son of Man? He sits in heaven at the right hand of God, and will come in the clouds of heaven!
The Pharisees were horrified, but the people began shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” The Pharisees, began crying out, “Oh, the righteous one is also in error!”
They climbed the temple and threw James down, but it didn’t kill him. He rose to his knees and prayed, “Lord forgive them, they do not know what they are doing.”
The Pharisees began to stone him, but one of the priests shouted, “Stop! The righteous one is praying for you.”
When they stopped, another killed him with a club.

Wade, I think that the opposition to CRT comes from old white men in the GOP right.
Sorry, the abbreviated post above was rudely interrupted by a 12-hour power outage in Portland, OR. This was what I wanted to say: Galatians 3:28-29 New International Version
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise; Romans 3:23 New International Version 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; and Romans 16:17 New International Version 17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
The opposition to CRT is a construct of old white men, mostly republicans who are afraid of losing their positions to non-white people.
Sorry Gerry:
All you've done with your last comment is demonstrate your ability to cut and paste scripture passages while spewing unsubstantiated vitriol against "old white men".
Your three whole enchiladas short of a combination plate, hombre.
Scott, your reply shows that there is at least one churl in Conroe, Tx

And they sounded wonderful.
In the 8th grade, the choir director kept moving my brother, Hez, around trying to get him beside someone that sang loud enough, Hez couldn’t be heard.
Hez asked me why I was never moved because I couldn’t sing any better than him. I told him I ‘mouthed the words’ but never made a sound.

CD Review: Matt Gouette - Sunnyside
It seems like it's been a while since we've heard from pop songster Matt Goutte. Seems only appropriate that he releases his latest effort Sunnyside as winter turns to spring. It also seems like he's been taking his time to get the perfect blend of his rockin' Cassingles project and his previous melancholy pop solo work.
Sunnyside is upbeat tunes and sad tales, melodic hooks and lonely lyrics. It's the Get Up Kids without the indie rock pomp or Weezer without waving the "geek pride" flag. I don't believe that New London has ever had a more true pop rock songwriter than Matt Gouette. There is a purity to his style that no one else can boast. This album more than anything else I have heard of his seems to have been written so that everyone would like it. I say that without any irony or malice, I say it with the utmost respect. Matt just seems to have tapped into a sound that people everywhere couldn't find fault with. It moves and it's got some push to it but it never loses it's sense of melody or it's hooks. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3218 | {"url": "https://www.wailingcity.com/2014/03/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wailingcity.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:36:53Z", "digest": "sha1:4UXGUMNF5QXX53PW4EMU73XF272VPFML"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1153, 1153.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1153, 7422.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1153, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1153, 176.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1153, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1153, 316.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1153, 0.44444444]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1153, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1153, 0.02414929]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1153, 0.02414929]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1153, 0.01984127]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1153, 0.13492063]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1153, 0.63902439]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1153, 4.44390244]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1153, 4.65419491]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1153, 205.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 95, 0.0], [95, 131, 0.0], [131, 454, 1.0], [454, 1153, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 95, 0.0], [95, 131, 0.0], [131, 454, 0.0], [454, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 43, 7.0], [43, 95, 3.0], [95, 131, 5.0], [131, 454, 56.0], [454, 1153, 134.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 95, 0.0], [95, 131, 0.0], [131, 454, 0.0], [454, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 95, 0.0], [95, 131, 0.0], [131, 454, 0.0], [454, 1153, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.1627907], [43, 95, 0.07692308], [95, 131, 0.16666667], [131, 454, 0.02167183], [454, 1153, 0.02575107]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1153, 0.05039543]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1153, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1153, 0.91599274]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1153, -9.40866469]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1153, 6.42496355]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1153, -73.60458345]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1153, 13.0]]} |
Start | Klezmer Music | Klezmer Music «B | Beyond the Pale
Beyond the Pale is a Toronto-based Canadian world/roots fusion band. Their style is rooted in klezmer, Balkan and Romanian music but heavily accented with contemporary and North American styles including bluegrass, jazz, reggae, funk and classical chamber music. They are known for unique songcraft, virtuosic musicianship, meticulous dynamics, and exuberant live performances. They are widely regarded as one of Canada's most accomplished and innovative acoustic ensembles. Some have described their sound as being in the same spirit as "New Acoustic Music" and David Grisman's "Dawg" music, but tinged more heavily with an east European accent. The name of the band is a reference to the EasternEuropean Jewish Pale of Settlement, from where their music is partially inspired.
Beyond the Pale was formed in 1998. Original members included mandolinist Eric Stein, bassist Bret Higgins and guitarist Joshua Engel. They were joined by violinist Anne Lindsay the following year. Dutch Clarinetist Martin van de Ven joined the group in 2000 while Engel left the same year. Serbian-born violinist Bogdan Djukic gradually replaced Lindsay over 2000-2001. The band released its first CD, Routes, in 2001 through Borealis Records; the recording was nominated for a Canadian Independent Music Award. In 2002, Serbian-born accordionist Milos Popovic joined the group, replacing Sasha Luminsky, who had played with the group the previous two years. A second album, Consensus, was recorded live at the Al Green Theatre in Toronto in 2003 and released the following year. This album received great acclaim and captured a Canadian Folk Music Award for "Instrumental Group of the Year." "Consensus" was also nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award, and Eric Stein's composition "Reunion" from that album won the Folk Music Ontario Song from the Heart award for songwriting. In fall 2004, the group was joined by Serbian-born violinist Aleksandar Gajic. Between 2001-2010, Beyond the Pale toured across North America and Europe, including performances at Carnegie Hall, the Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków, and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
During this period the band was involved in many unique and challenging collaborative projects, including a series of concerts with legendary singer/actor Theodore Bikel, numerous collaborations with Josh "Socalled" Dolgin, two separate stints as guest accompanists with the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir on world premieres of ambitious choral works, guest soloist turns with the Toronto Children's Chorus on a world premiere composition by clarinetist van de Ven, and performances alongside CBC radio personality Barbara Budd with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. There were also self-initiated collaborations with other esteemed world music ensembles such as Creaking Tree String Quartet and L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio.
The group was also featured in a number of national radio broadcasts for CBC's Canada Live, including the performance of interpretations for the CBC's A New World of Mozart, which honoured the 250th birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In 2009, the group released its third album Postcards, [22] which featured guest appearances by Israeli Yiddish singer Vira Lozinsky (picture) Postcards received four nominations from the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Awards and won for "Instrumental Group of the Year" and "Pushing the Boundaries". In 2011, the group toured in Australia, and in Brazil in 2012. In 2017 Beyond the Pale released a new album, Ruckus, and was nominated at the Canadian Folk Music Awards for Instrumental Group of the Year.

Situation at home of Vikings player Everson Griffen ends peacefully
KSTP-TV/WDIO-TV
Police responded to the home of Vikings player Everson Griffen on Wednesday.[Minnesota Vikings]
Police responded to the home of Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen on Wednesday following concerning social media posts and a 911 call from his home.
According to the Minnetrista Police Department, Griffen had called 911 shortly after 3 a.m. and said someone was inside his home and that he needed help. Police said Griffen told the 911 dispatcher he had fired a weapon but that no one was hurt.
Upon arrival, law enforcement officials said they were unable to find an intruder in the home.
Police were on the scene until the situation ended peacefully in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Griffen’s social media accounts carried screenshots of text conversations that included the phrases "I need help" and "people are trying to kill me" as well as a video depicting Griffen holding a gun.
The team said it has staff members at Griffen’s home working with law enforcement.
"Vikings representatives and the team’s mental health professionals have been on-site at Everson Griffen’s home since early this morning and are cooperating with law enforcement. Our only concern at this time is the safety and well-being of Everson and his family. We will have further comment at the appropriate time," the statement read.
Concerns have previously surfaced regarding Griffen’s mental health.
Police reports from 2018 indicated Griffen’s behavior at a Vikings practice was disruptive to the point he was ordered to get a mental health evaluation before being allowed to rejoin the team. Griffen’s behavior at that time was described by a team official as "explosive, screaming and yelling."
A Minneapolis police incident report filed the same month, in which Griffen’s name was redacted, stated that Griffen had allegedly threatened to shoot members of the Hotel Ivy staff unless he was allowed into his room. A source confirmed to KSTP-TV that Griffen was the person identified in the report. No gun was ever found, according to the report, and Griffen was allowed by police to leave the hotel on his own accord.
In a social media post following the 2018 incidents, Griffen apologized to those affected by his actions and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am extremely grateful for the support I have received from my family, the Vikings organization, my teammates and our tremendous fan base."

Rob Kardashian Rumored To Be Writing Tell-All About Family
Amanda Crum
Rob Kardashian has been in the headlines recently due to his strained relationship with his famous family, and now rumors are flying that he’s working on a tell-all book that would blow the lid off the reality stars’ private lives.
A source from Closer says that Rob wants to spill quite a few secrets, and that a major portion of the book would focus on Kim and Kanye, which would certainly boost book sales.
“Rob wants to show how fame tainted the family over the years,” the source said.
On the most recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the family had a discussion about how best to help Rob, who is reportedly suffering from depression and doesn’t want the attention his family gets. In fact, he didn’t want to be on camera for the show. He did, however, have someone call his mother, Kris Jenner, to ask for money, and she revealed that he has cut himself off from the family and stays withdrawn in his room at sister Khloe’s house.
“As a mom, it breaks my heart to see Rob going through what he’s going through. He’s kind of stuck in a really bad place and I just want to help him get out of it…I can’t take it anymore. I just kept thinking it was going to go away and he would figure it out on his own, but he’s not…I feel like if I don’t help him do something drastic, that he’s going to die,” Kris said.
Kim has reportedly been trying to contact Rob but has been rebuffed, and she had a talk with Kris on the show about letting Rob figure things out for himself, perhaps with some tough love from the family.
“I think that now what we have to do is everyone back off. Everyone licks Rob’s a– and does whatever he says. And it’s just at some point, you just have to give it up! We all make his life so easy. ‘Okay, we’ll drive you around with a chauffeur so no one has to look at you!’ We had a chef on standby, a trainer. ‘We’ll send people to run out and buy you socks and underwear!’ Like, this is pathetic!” Kim said.

The Freshwater Creek (formerly Waldkirch) congregation celebrated the laying of their church’s foundation stone on 19 November 2006.
As early as 1849, Dr Alexander Thomson, one of the founders of Geelong, was instrumental in bringing a number of German families to the Geelong area. They first established vineyards and market gardens at Germantown, now Grovedale, and gradually other settlements followed. By 1859, a community at Freshwater Creek, south-west of Geelong was well established. Some early German pioneers of Freshwater Creek include Johann Seiffert, Johann Schmidt, Johann Einsporn, Johann Leibhardt and Karl Rau.
St. David’s Lutheran Church and Cemetery (originally “Waldkirch”) was the community centre and final resting-place of most of the pioneer families of Freshwater Creek. In November 2006, a service was held to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the present bluestone building, on 15 April 1866.
St. David’s Lutheran Church and Cemetery are listed on the Heritage Register and on the National Trust, for their links to the earliest German settlers in the Geelong region.

Are we doomed to fail? Is Global Democratic Governance a chimaera?
By Keith Best
Many will have read the recent fascinating analysis of global popular opinion (not nearly enough surveys such as this are done) about global governance issues. Published in International Studies Quarterly (2022) by Farsan G Hassim (University of Oxford, UK, and Lund University, Sweden) Mathias Koenig-Archibugi (London School of Economics and Political Science, UK) and Luis Cabrera (Griffith University, Australia). It is 19 pages long and I shall not attempt to summarise it here. Among the conclusions are “that the general public in several countries prefers certain designs to others, and often the most popular option is not the one represented by the current UN. On the whole, we find public opinion to lean toward the positions of those reformers who have sought to see the UN and related global institutions moving closer to supranationalist and cosmopolitan ideals. In contrast, the positions of policymakers and commentators who advocate weaker international authority and fewer constraints on state sovereignty resonate less with aggregate public preferences. This is perhaps especially notable given that our six-country sample includes four of the most powerful countries in the world.” Their analysis reveals that reform proposals that would make the UN more authoritative and reduce global inequalities in representation are most preferred by citizens across the six survey countries (Argentina, China, India, Russia, Spain, United States) on average.
Interestingly but perhaps unsurprisingly, maintaining the status quo of veto rights for current P5 members increases favourability of UN models among respondents in P5 countries and decreases it among respondents in non-P5 countries. The option of eliminating all veto rights decreases support for UN models among P5 respondents, while it does not significantly affect the choices of non-P5 respondents. Among those who prioritize environmental protection, but not among those who prioritize economic growth and jobs, the proposal to make UN decisions binding on a range of important security, environmental and economic matters increase the favourability of UN models. Somewhat disturbingly, it is clear that nationalism influences opinions in these matters as the authors note the potential obstacles to UN institutional reform: when reforms involve a redistribution of power among countries, individuals in the sample tend to favour the options that increase or at least preserve the influence of their own state. While the views of respondents in Argentina and Spain may be more typical of people in most countries of the world, the four powerful states whose citizens were surveyed would be able to obstruct UN reforms even if they were endorsed by most other governments.
I am not suggesting that WFM-IGP should formulate its policies based on perceived global public opinion – especially as it is clear that this differs greatly from state to state, region to region and in the socio-cultural economic situation of the people. Moreover, public opinion is mercurial and to base policies on its perception at any one given time would be foolhardy. Nevertheless, I have long advocated that among our preferred policies we should go for the “low-hanging fruit” or those that may be easier to achieve rather than banging our heads against a brick wall for worthy objectives but for which, outside our own bubble, there is little support. We need to consider, therefore, in making policy choices where the emphasis of governments (which provide potential funding) may lie and, as in this study, where public opinion is supportive so that we pursue those objectives which may have a realistic chance of realisation.
With this wind in our sails (as our late President Sir Peter Ustinov used to remark) why is it that entitle this piece Are We Doomed To Fail? So much of world federalist thought has been based on the belief that what we espouse is self-evident. How could anyone disagree the desirability of seeking greater accountability for global institutions, further mechanisms for the voice of the people to be heard and vehicles for permanent peace and legal responsibility for abuse of human rights? Surely, these are axiomatic. Yet we need to be careful not to be blinded by our own rhetoric or to assume that our beliefs are so unchallengeable that we do not fall into complacency. Not everyone thinks like us. Apart from the obvious point of disagreement within our own communities on such issues there is the cultural divide between the East and West and North and South. Europe (and the world) is facing a major crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. In Europe we speak of horror of a major war on our continent – yet for those in parts of Africa and Asia war and its appalling consequences has been a continuing occurrence throughout the last several decades.
These divides and a failure to appreciate or anticipate others’ geopolitical aims and objectives mean that there remains the capacity for misunderstanding highlighted recently by the UK’s National Security Adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove who gave a speech at the end of July in the United States where he said the situation was more dangerous than in the Cold War in terms of dialogue with rival countries that have nuclear capabilities. He said that with the Soviet Union the lines of communication meant that it was unlikely for the world to stumble into a nuclear war and he focused on the threat from China as being particularly worrying. He warned of the “pace and scale with which China is expanding its nuclear and conventional arsenals”, while adding that the world is entering a “dangerous new age of proliferation”. He added “During the Cold War, we benefited from a series of negotiations and dialogues that improved our understanding of Soviet doctrine and capabilities – and vice versa. This gave us both a higher level of confidence that we would not miscalculate our way into nuclear war. Today, we do not have the same foundations with others who may threaten us in the future – particularly with China.”
These issues are relevant as the Tenth Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty runs 1-26 August this year. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres said on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the NPT’s opening for signature, 24 May 2018, Geneva “The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is an essential pillar of international peace and security, and the heart of the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime. Its unique status is based on its near universal membership, legally-binding obligations on disarmament, verifiable non-proliferation safeguards regime, and commitment to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.” Yet we are now a long way not just in history but in attitudes from the McCloy-Zorin accord of 1961 which set out a pathway for complete disarmament. Indeed, it established a foundation or “roadmap” for all future negotiations and international treaties with regard to nuclear and general and complete disarmament under effective international control and effectively aimed at abolishing war as an institution: it was passed unanimously by the UN General Assembly on 20 December 1961. Nevertheless, 191 states parties have joined the NPT, including the five nuclear-weapon states, making it the most widely adhered to multilateral disarmament agreement.
There is a belief in China that the USA is in terminal decline and that China will be the dominant world power before the end of the hundred years’ anniversary of the Communist Revolution. That creates a dangerous mindset. Major democracies like USA and UK have endured or are experiencing crises of democratic control with populist leaders emerging demonstrating what little checks and balances exist – the essential constraints on preventing a democracy from creeping into an autocracy. With the recent defenestration of the British Prime Minister for sound and irrefutable reasons it is disturbing that thousands of his backers are demanding that his name should be on the ballot paper for the new leader and a Government Minister has intimated that we have moved subliminally from a Parliamentary democracy (in which the Prime Minister is primus inter pares in the Cabinet and does not have the powers of a President) into a quasi-Presidential system: the contention being that at the last general election the people not only voted for a Party to form the Government but also for the leader to be the Prime Minister – an argument that if you change the leader (ie the Prime Minister) that can be done only by plebiscite (in the British system, a general election). It is, of course, constitutional nonsense but is superficially persuasive and has gained adherents.
To many of the current global security issues and abuses of human rights the Western response has often been one of paralysis, of the rabbit in the headlights. The exception has been the arming of Ukraine and the draconian sanctions (although still not yet on oil and gas) against Russia. As the winter approaches, however, and the lights go out over Germany and other parts of Europe and its economy is hogtied by consequent factory closures we must ask the inevitable question – for how long will that resolve last? In ten years’ time will we have seen a complete withdrawal of Russian forces and the return of Ukrainian national integrity with the proof that the response really did work or will either the war be dragging on with a kind of guerrilla insurgency against the invader or, the worst case, Ukraine forced to cede territory in exchange for Europe being heated and lit? The last will condemn us to ongoing aggression as the price is seen to be worth paying – and Taiwan as well as other peripheral European NATO nations may well be in the firing line. Surely, we cannot dismiss so easily the recent history of Nazi territorial aggrandisement.
What is needed now and at that time in the future is international statesmanship – which does not seem to be that obvious right now. At an early stage there must be a roadmap for rapprochement with Russia under new leadership in which mutual trust can be achieved both culturally and militarily through joint operations and observation.
What of the other issues that confront our planet both environmentally and socially? At the same time as we see a merciful reduction in child and other mortality and an extended life expectancy as well as an ever-increasing global population it seems that even a pandemic with a new virus will not have the same winnowing effect as the Black Death or The Plague which in some cases accounted for the demise of half the population. Science seems ahead of the game. It seems, also, that the scourge of war is unlikely to make serious inroads into population numbers. There has been a decrease in inter-state wars but an increase in civil wars, as Steven Pinker pointed out in WFM’s policy conference on 24 October 2020; we have seen the end of WWII but not, thankfully, as yet, the beginning of WWIII (even an invasion of Ukraine is unlikely to lead to bellicose action from NATO and would be met by sanctions rather than direct military intervention). There are only a few states that see a military answer to their issues by way of seeking to annexe whole countries or parts. How is the world going to cope in governance terms, let alone the provision of food, water and essential care with this increasing population?
A further nail in the coffin of the Von Clausewitz concept of war being an extension of foreign policy by other means is that recent military intervention in other states has not had a happy history since the Second World War – America’s Vietnam, both Russia’s and America’s experience in Afghanistan and, of course, prior to these salutary lessons the failure to quell the fight for freedom in the East European states by military intervention from the Soviet Union. Pinker maintains that war is no longer a legitimate option. He referred to Immanuel Kant’s 1795 essay entitled “Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch,” which concludes that citizens of a democratic republic are less likely to support their government in a war because “this would mean calling down on themselves all the miseries of war.” One of his three Definitive Articles that would provide not merely a cessation of hostilities but a foundation on which to build a peace has particular relevance for world federalists, namely “The law of nations shall be founded on a federation of free states.”
The pillars of democracy, trade and the international community, where present, buttress this concept. Of course, it can be said that these were present immediately prior to WWI but, as many esteemed academics have shown in their examination of the causes of the First World War there were other factors and alliances as well as the terrifying misappreciation of others’ intentions which led almost to the accident of war that none of the combatants really wanted. Maybe, as Saskia Sassen has pointed out, the liberal democratic system is reaching its limits and in some countries is in decay. The concept of transversality, of a system in one country being copied in another, will be partial: good for some but not for others.
Are we in a period of fundamental change in the way in which we manage international affairs? If so, other that with the benefit of hindsight, how do we know? How can we recognise such change until after it has happened? Sassen argues that we need a more philosophical understanding of where we are and what we need to change. Maybe Marie Antoinette was correct when she stated that nothing is new other than that which has been forgotten.
As we seemingly retreat into a national and regional polarised world, see a regression from globalisation and multilateralism, enter a new arms race with ever more sophisticated hypersonic means of lethal delivery, see Russia before our eyes tearing up the constraints on brutal warfare which have been curtailed painstakingly over a couple of centuries in international human rights norms in the light of previous atrocities what hope can we have for the future?
The first is that history cannot be undone. Those international norms, treaty obligations and institutions still remain even if breached – the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. Secondly, as mentioned, public global opinion is with us as are most states that realise that unilateralism is no longer an option – states must work in concert. Finally, there is civil society exemplified by WFM-IGP and a myriad of other organisations that will continue to spread the common-sense of disarmament, collective security and strengthening of the international order and rule of law. We may have to face a mini dark age before we emerge once again into the dawn of a new realisation but that in itself will act as an imperative and stimulus to taking forward the cause of common humanity and our planet. After all, the truth, uncomfortable though it may be, is there for all to see. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3226 | {"url": "https://www.wfm-igp.org/federalist-paper/are-we-doomed-to-fail-is-global-democratic-governance-a-chimaera/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wfm-igp.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:47:50Z", "digest": "sha1:J5EKW3YYN4MVOYXJCZGRD5L6ZZAFBYQJ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 15192, 15192.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 15192, 16683.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 15192, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 15192, 92.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 15192, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 15192, 259.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 15192, 0.47084233]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 15192, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 15192, 0.00866565]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 15192, 0.01002969]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 15192, 0.00866565]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 15192, 0.00866565]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 15192, 0.00866565]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 15192, 0.00866565]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 15192, 0.00802375]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 15192, 0.00264784]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 15192, 0.00312926]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 15192, 0.01439885]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 15192, 0.09863211]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 15192, 0.3904]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 15192, 4.9852]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 15192, 5.89004183]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 15192, 2500.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 104, 1.0], [104, 171, 1.0], [171, 185, 0.0], [185, 1654, 1.0], [1654, 2932, 1.0], [2932, 3870, 1.0], [3870, 5025, 1.0], [5025, 6244, 1.0], [6244, 7530, 1.0], [7530, 8900, 1.0], [8900, 10056, 1.0], [10056, 10393, 1.0], [10393, 11612, 1.0], [11612, 12682, 1.0], [12682, 13410, 1.0], [13410, 13850, 1.0], [13850, 14314, 1.0], [14314, 15192, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 104, 0.0], [104, 171, 0.0], [171, 185, 0.0], [185, 1654, 0.0], [1654, 2932, 0.0], [2932, 3870, 0.0], [3870, 5025, 0.0], [5025, 6244, 0.0], [6244, 7530, 0.0], [7530, 8900, 0.0], [8900, 10056, 0.0], [10056, 10393, 0.0], [10393, 11612, 0.0], [11612, 12682, 0.0], [12682, 13410, 0.0], [13410, 13850, 0.0], [13850, 14314, 0.0], [14314, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 104, 16.0], [104, 171, 11.0], [171, 185, 3.0], [185, 1654, 220.0], [1654, 2932, 196.0], [2932, 3870, 154.0], [3870, 5025, 203.0], [5025, 6244, 205.0], [6244, 7530, 189.0], [7530, 8900, 227.0], [8900, 10056, 202.0], [10056, 10393, 57.0], [10393, 11612, 215.0], [11612, 12682, 177.0], [12682, 13410, 122.0], [13410, 13850, 79.0], [13850, 14314, 73.0], [14314, 15192, 151.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 104, 0.0], [104, 171, 0.0], [171, 185, 0.0], [185, 1654, 0.00418702], [1654, 2932, 0.00396511], [2932, 3870, 0.0], [3870, 5025, 0.0], [5025, 6244, 0.0], [6244, 7530, 0.01746032], [7530, 8900, 0.0], [8900, 10056, 0.0], [10056, 10393, 0.0], [10393, 11612, 0.00500835], [11612, 12682, 0.00377715], [12682, 13410, 0.0], [13410, 13850, 0.0], [13850, 14314, 0.0], [14314, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 104, 0.0], [104, 171, 0.0], [171, 185, 0.0], [185, 1654, 0.0], [1654, 2932, 0.0], [2932, 3870, 0.0], [3870, 5025, 0.0], [5025, 6244, 0.0], [6244, 7530, 0.0], [7530, 8900, 0.0], [8900, 10056, 0.0], [10056, 10393, 0.0], [10393, 11612, 0.0], [11612, 12682, 0.0], [12682, 13410, 0.0], [13410, 13850, 0.0], [13850, 14314, 0.0], [14314, 15192, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 104, 0.09615385], [104, 171, 0.07462687], [171, 185, 0.21428571], [185, 1654, 0.03403676], [1654, 2932, 0.01877934], [2932, 3870, 0.01172708], [3870, 5025, 0.02251082], [5025, 6244, 0.02296965], [6244, 7530, 0.03343701], [7530, 8900, 0.02554745], [8900, 10056, 0.01903114], [10056, 10393, 0.00890208], [10393, 11612, 0.02543068], [11612, 12682, 0.02616822], [12682, 13410, 0.01648352], [13410, 13850, 0.01590909], [13850, 14314, 0.00431034], [14314, 15192, 0.01366743]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 15192, 0.88101852]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 15192, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 15192, 0.69839871]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 15192, -251.93043232]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 15192, 289.2850145]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 15192, -118.2659247]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 15192, 82.0]]} |

Use Case: FCAI Defective Airbag Communications
Whispir Team
These faulty airbags have 50% chance of exploding with too much force, spraying shrapnel like bullets when triggered by a collision. The defective “alpha”-type Takata airbags have affected over 100 million cars across the globe, affecting 4 million airbags in Australia alone. Almost 2 in 7 vehicles on the road in Australia are at risk, sparking the world’s largest recorded compulsory airbag recall. Replacement of the potentially deadly airbags is free for all Australians.
"SMS “Takata” to 0487 247 224 to see if your airbags are affected in a matter of seconds."
The awareness campaign, dubbed “Don’t Die Wondering” seeks to identify and recall the 1.6 million Australian drivers who are yet to have their airbags checked. “There have been 24 reported deaths and 266 injuries worldwide caused by Takata airbag inflator ruptures, with one dead and one serious injury reported in Australia.” says Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries’ chief executive, Tony Weber. The Don’t Die Wondering campaign introduced a website, “www.ismyairbagsafe.com.au”, that is easy to navigate and effective. With 60% of user checking the safety of their airbags via mobile, the FCAI understood that they also needed a mobile-accessible platform.
The FCAI recognised that they were in need of a non-internet platform for those who did not have access to a nearby computer, and needed to find the answer to the life-threatening question as fast as possible.
Whispir developed a simple, effective and reliable solution to this potentially life-threatening situation. Whispir’s platform is comprised of an SMS service that promptly informs Australian drivers if their airbags were safe or not. Utilising an AWS Lambda-based solution, Whispir created a rapid, robust and infinitely scalable platform that has the capability of saving millions of lives. The Whispir platform has the capability to handle a load of thousands of requests in a matter of seconds.
All Australians have to do is simply SMS “Takata” to 0487 247 224 (0487 AIRBAG) and follow the straightforward prompts to check the safety of their airbags. The SMS solution is capable of checking multiple registration numbers. This allows Australians to check the airbags of loved ones who may not have access to a phone or a computer, such as the elderly. The text-in solution is incredibly fast, reaching the user with an answer to the potentially life-threatening question within a matter of seconds.

Family of double amputee fatally shot by Huntington Park police files claim
Officers tried and failed to subdue Anthony Lowe with Tasers, but he allegedly continued threatening police with a knife when they opened fire

HUNTINGTON PARK — The family of a double amputee fatally shot by Huntington Park police officers filed a claim Thursday against the city on behalf of the man’s 15-year-old son.
The claim is the first step needed to file a lawsuit against the city for wrongful death and civil rights violations.
Officers shot and killed Anthony Lowe on Jan. 26 after responding to a stabbing call. When Lowe was approached near the scene of the call, Lowe — who had both of his legs amputated and used a wheelchair — was allegedly armed with a 12-inch long butcher knife, according to the Huntington Park Police Department.
Police contend 36-year-old Lowe ignored commands and “threatened to advance or throw the knife,” and officers used Tasers to try and subdue him but failed, HPPD said in a statement.
“The suspect continued to threaten officers with the butcher knife, resulting in an officer-involved shooting,” HPPD said. It was not immediately clear how many officers were present or shot the suspect.
Lowe, who lived in the neighborhood, was struck by gunfire in the upper torso and pronounced dead on scene, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in an initial statement.
Calls to HPPD and the Huntington Park city attorney’s office were not immediately answered. The Lowe family attorney was also unresponsive to calls.
A blurred 23-second cell phone video, posted to Twitter, appears to shows Lowe out of his wheelchair and attempting to hobble away from officers on the stumps of his legs while holding a knife. The shooting is not shown.
At a press conference Thursday held by the Coalition for Community Control Over the Police, Lowe’s family called for the prosecution of the officers who shot Lowe, telling reporters they cannot understand how a disabled suspect posed enough of a threat to warrant lethal force.
Cliff Smith, an organizer with the coalition, said the L.A. County district attorney’s office “must criminally prosecute the officers involved. There’s just no justification for shooting this man.”
Smith said a demonstration is planned for noon Friday in front of the downtown Hall of Justice. Lowe’s family members, their attorney and relatives of other people shot and killed by Los Angeles law enforcement are expected to attend.
“These shootings are systemic in law enforcement generally,” Smith said.
Huntington Park police, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office are investigating the shooting, and the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, the HPPD statement said.
Supervisor Janice Hahn tweeted on Wednesday that she hopes the results of the probe “show that these officers could have and should have used different tactics in subduing this double amputee, who was armed with just a knife, besides resorting to shooting him in the back and killing him.”
Police said they responded to the stabbing call at 3:40 p.m. Jan. 26 in the 2400 block of Slauson Avenue. Upon their arrival, a man suffering a life-threatening stab wound told officers he was stabbed by a man in a wheelchair, according to the LASD.
Lowe’s family members said the decedent’s legs were amputated last year after an altercation with law enforcement in Texas.

National news in 2010
by Andrew Davis
This article shared 5565 times since Wed Jan 5, 2011
It certainly was an eventful year for the LGBT community on the national front. (Do George Rekers, Constance McMillen and Dan Savage ring a bell?) Here is the list of national highlights and lowlights for 2010 (in chronological order):
—Transgender advances: President Obama appointed transgender individuals Dylan Orr and Amanda Simpson. Simpson, 49, is a native of Chicago and began work Jan. 5 as senior technical advisor in the Bureau of Industry and Security. In a related development, the Obama administration, through the Office of Personnel Management, started to list gender identity among the classes protected by federal Equal Employment Opportunity policies.
—Sworn in: Annise Parker, 53, was formally sworn in as the 61st mayor of Houston, Texas. She officially became the first openly gay person to be elected as mayor of one of the country's five most populated cities.
—Change in New Hampshire: New Hampshire became the fifth state to allow same-sex marriage, joining Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont.
—What can Brown do for you?: Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley was expected to assume the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat—but she was upset by Republican Scott Brown, dashing hopes for immediate advancement on measures of interest to the LGBT community. However, Brown was one of the few Republicans who voted for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in December.
—AIDS council named: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the appointment of 24 new members to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA). Among those named were actress Rosie Perez, The Black AIDS Institute Executive Director Phill Wilson and Dartmouth College President Jim Kim.
—Mother's day: The United States Supreme Court denied review in a custody dispute Feb. 22 involving a non-biological lesbian mother whose former partner, the child's biological mother, was seeking to strip her of any parental rights.
—Capital idea: Washington, D.C.'s marriage-equality legislation became law in spite of a Herculean effort by opponents to block its implementation through both legal action—including a last minute Hail Mary pass to the U. S. Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts for a stay—as well as legislative maneuvering in the House and Senate.
—Prom date: In Mississippi, Itawamba Agricultural High School cancelled prom when Constance McMillen wished to bring her girlfriend as her date. Among what ensued were a fake prom—and an agreement by the school district to pay McMillen $35,000 and enact a nondiscrimination policy.
—Shocking stat: At the 2010 National STD Prevention Conference, a CDC analysis revealed that men who have sex with men are at least 44 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than other men, and 40 times more likely than women. In coming up with those numbers, however, the CDC assumed demographic percentages some found questionable.
—Protesting: Gay-rights activists staged sit-ins at the Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, Calif., offices of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi March 18, demanding that voting on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act take place on the House floor. At the White House, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" activists Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo were arrested after they handcuffed themselves to a fence.
—Outgoing: Celebrities came out of the closet last year, including musician Ricky Martin, talk-show host Stephanie Miller and country singer Chely Wright. Wright was grand marshal of Chicago's gay-pride parade.
—Beating cancer: Lesbian tennis icon Martina Navratilova was diagnosed with breast cancer. Navratilova, who was diagnosed with a non-invasive form, had a lumpectomy and endured six weeks of radiation therapy in order to overcome the cancer.
—To one's health: After signing a memo directing the secretary of health and human services to take steps to address hospital visitation and other health care issues affecting LGBT families, President Barack Obama called Lambda Legal client Janice Langbehn to express his sympathies for the tragic loss of her partner, Lisa Pond, and the treatment she suffered.
—I fought the law...: LGBT groups and public figures spoke out against the immigration law enacted in Arizona April 23. The statute requires police to check an individual's immigration status whenever an officer suspects an individual may be in the U.S. illegally. The law has been dubbed, "Papers, please."
—By George: George Rekers, a prominent anti-gay activist who co-founded the conservative Family Research Council, was reportedly caught with a male prostitute at the Miami airport. Rekers posted on Facebook, "I deliberately spend time with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them."
—Guilty: In Puerto Rico, Juan José Martínez Matos pled guilty for the brutal murder of gay teenager Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado that occurred in November 2009. Matos—who had been charged with stabbing Mercado to death before decapitating, dismembering and burning his body—was sentenced to 99 years in prison.
—DOMA down: In two decisions, Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. HHS and Gill v. Office of Personnel Management, United States District Judge Joseph Tauro held section three of the Defense of Mariage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. Tauro said that DOMA interfered with the traditional state right to define marriage and forced the state to "violate the equal protection rights of its citizens."
—Addressing an epidemic: Suicides among LGBT teens—a problem that was well-known within the community but rarely addressed—became one of the biggest stories of last year, if not the biggest. As dozens of teens committed suicide, a nation responded (thanks in part to Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" project) and mourned.
—Winning strategies: The White House released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and accompanying NHAS Federal Implementation Plan. As for monies, $30 million of the Affordable Care Act's Prevention Fund was to be dedicated to the strategy's implementation—although activists expressed concern that new funding may not be available for the plan.
—Games controversy: The City of Cleveland sent a letter to the Cleveland Synergy Foundation stating that the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) was terminating Synergy's license agreement for Gay Games 2014 and that the city was halting all payments to Synergy. Another organization, the Cleveland Special Events Corp., has formed to bid, but Synergy has filed a lawsuit against the FGG, claiming breach of contract and defamation.
—Target on your back: Target was in the middle of a political firestorm when it was discovered that the company (along with Best Buy) sent $150,000 to MN Forward, a Minnesota political action committee (PAC) that was backing anti-gay gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel sent a letter of apology to his employees, although the company declined the Human Rights Campaign's suggestion to donate an equal amount of money to a pro-gay candidate or organization. Emmer conceded the race to DLF candidate Mark Dayton.
—Prop and go: U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker ruled Aug. 4, 2010, that California's Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection and due process. Currently, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals is weighing the case—and it is expected to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, regardless of the appeals court's decision.
—Confirmation: The U.S. Senate confirmed the appointment of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court Aug. 5—but not without complaints from nearly every Republican opposing her nomination. The vote was 63-37.
—"American" woman: After just one season on the TV megahit American Idol, Ellen DeGeneres departed as judge. The new line-up consists of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
—The doctor is out: Radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger is on the hot seat after using the "N-word" repeatedly on the air during an Aug. 10 show with a caller. She later apologized and ended that show—but is now on XM/Sirius radio.
—Time for recess: President Obama was using the recess appointment to install openly gay nominee Richard Sorian as assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services. In March, he used the recess appointment to put lesbian law professor and activist Chai Feldblum on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
—Ken do: Ken Mehlman, George W. Bush's 2004 campaign chief and the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, came out of the closet Aug. 25 in an interview with The Atlantic. He was the most powerful Republican in history to openly identify as gay.
—Crime time: Eight teenage and adult males were arraigned Oct. 10 regarding an Oct. 3 attack on a teenager in New York City on charges including sexual assault, robbery and hate crimes. Gang members heard that one of their recruits happened to be gay, and allegedly stripped him, beat him and sodomized him with a plunger handle—something they also reportedly did to two others.
—Pulpit talk: Jim Swilley—the pastor of Church in the Now, the Georgia institution he found a quarter-century ago—officially came out of the closet. Meanwhile, another Georgia megachurch pastor, the Rev. Eddie Long, fought charges that he sexually abused several young men.
—Southern discomfort: Board Midland School District (Ark.) school board member Clint McCance, in response to a request to wear purple to support LGBT youth, posted on Facebook, "Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide." On Anderson Cooper's show, AC360, McCance apologized and resigned from his position.
—Family ties: Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum announced Oct. 22 that he would not challenge a Sept. 22 state appellate court ruling that overturned Florida's bar on adoption by gay men or lesbians, ending the 33-year-old ban.
—Takeover: On Nov. 2, 2010, Republicans won enough seats in the House to take over majority control starting in January 2011. They also increased their margin in the Senate, from 41 seats to 47. The shift immediately marked a change in the chances of pro-LGBT legislation passing, as the next session will undoubtedly be more conservative. However, openly gay Providence, R.I., Mayor David Cicilline was elected to the U.S. House. (See the cover story.)
—Here's to you, Mr. Robinson: V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, announced that he would retire from his position in early 2013. Robinson said that he would continue to commit his full energy to his diocese until that date.
—Numbers: Gays are far more likely to be victims of a violent hate crime than any other minority group in the United States, according to a new analysis of federal hate-crime statistics in the latest issue of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report,released Nov. 22.
—Hide and Leak: The U.S. soldier in the middle of the WikiLeaks scandal involving thousands of the military's classified documents was 23 years old—and gay. Private First Class Bradley Manning lip-synced Lady Gaga songs while allegedly downloading thousands of classified documents from military computers.
—Ban overboard: The U.S. Senate approved a bill Dec. 18 to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the 17-year-old law banning openly gay people from serving in the military. The roll-call vote on the measure, which came to the Senate from the House, was 65 to 31 (including six Republicans); it had passed the House 250 to 175. President Obama signed the bill Dec. 22 at the Department of the Interior.
Passages:

—Brendan Burke: The 21-year-old openly gay son of Toronto Maple Leafs and U.S. Olympic Team General Manager Brian Burke died Feb. 5 in a car crash near the Indiana-Ohio border.
—Margaret "Midge" Costanza: Costanza, who died March 23 at age 71, was the first woman to hold the office of assistant to the president of the United States when Jimmy Carter appointed her to the position of assistant to the president for public liaison in 1977. She served as a link between the President and a wide range of groups who previously had limited access to the White House, including women, youth, seniors, minorities, gays and lesbians, and the disabled.
—Christopher Klucsaritis: Klucsaritis, who wrestled professionally as Chris Kanyon, died April 2 as a result of an apparent overdose from prescription pills. He was 40 and openly gay.
—Dorothy Height: Dorothy Height, president emerita of the National Council of Negro Women, died at 98. For more than six decades, Height fought for civil rights and social justice. She was the only woman seated on the podium when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, and remained a prominent leader of the civil-rights movement for the rest of her life.
—Rue McClanahan: The actress, who was a favorite of the gay community, passed away June 3 at the age of 76.

—Jill Johnston: Johnston—writer, cultural and arts critic and legendary lesbian-feminist activist—died Sept. 18 at the age of 81 following a stroke nine days earlier. Through her visibility as one of the first publicly out lesbians, and her access to the "bully pulpit" through her columns in the Village Voice, Johnston gave expression to the growing frustration among lesbians working in the mainstream feminist movement.

By Jared Goffinet, Catherine Bodak and Andrew McMunn
CINCINNATI (WXIX/Gray News) - A home in Ohio that’s been around for more than two centuries is up for sale.
The home in the Columbia Tusculum neighborhood at 3644 Eastern Avenue was built in 1804, which makes it the oldest residence in Cincinnati, according to Lee Robinson with Sotheby’s International Realty.
In 1804, the United States held its fifth presidential election, with the incumbent, Thomas Jefferson, defeating Charles Pinckney.
The three-bedroom house listed for $498,900 even has four wood-burning stone fireplaces.
The downtown home is a short and easy walk to nearby restaurants and bars, according to the listing.
For more information and photos of the home, check out the listing.

They lost loved ones in 9/11. We invited them to leave a voicemail in their memory

Voicemails are deeply embedded into memories of 9/11. On that day in 2001, as people all across New York City tried to get hold of their friends and family, cellphone networks were overloaded. And for some of the victims inside the planes and towers, leaving a voicemail was their last way of communicating with their loved ones.
In the weeks leading up to the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, NPR set up an old phone booth in Brooklyn Bridge Park — across the river from the new World Trade Center — and invited people to leave a voicemail for someone they lost that day.
By searching public records, reaching out to national survivors' networks, and collaborating with facilitators of 9/11 support groups on Facebook, we connected with six people who were willing to share their stories with us — people like Trish Straine, whose husband died in the north tower just six days after their second son was born; and Matthew Bocchi, who was only 9 years old when he lost his father in the attacks. Their individual experiences offer insight into the nature of grief and how it changes — or doesn't — over time.
This project is inspired by the Wind Phone, a phone booth set up in Japan by garden designer Itaru Sasaki for people to communicate with those they lost in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.

Myanmar's military escalates its campaign to eliminate resistance
By Michael Sullivan
The military in Myanmar appears to be escalating its campaign to eliminate resistance to its coup. The military deposed the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi back in February. Since then, the military has killed more than 1,200 civilians. Michael Sullivan reports from neighboring Thailand.
MICHAEL SULLIVAN, BYLINE: Myanmar's military used scorched-earth tactics to burn out the Muslim minority Rohingya in 2017, sending more than 700,000 fleeing into neighboring Bangladesh. Now the military is employing the same tactics again against a town of more than 10,000 in the northwest of the country, where opposition to the coup has been fierce.
RICHARD HORSEY: There's a wholesale destruction of the town. By and large, the town has been deserted.
SULLIVAN: Richard Horsey is the International Crisis Group's longtime Myanmar analyst.
HORSEY: One can't help feeling that this is punishment revenge for the resistance that that town put up.
SULLIVAN: He worries what's been happening in and around Thantlang long may be the beginning of a larger effort all across the north.
HORSEY: All the indications are that over the past weeks, the military has been pushing troops into those areas for some sort of dry season offensive. The rains are ending now, and I think the next few months we'll see quite intense military operations.
SULLIVAN: And more people killed, wounded or displaced after nine months of violence that have crippled the economy and threatened the food security of millions.
MOE THUZAR: The magnitude of this humanitarian crisis may seem hard to grasp, and yet that's what the everyday reality is going on in Myanmar.
SULLIVAN: Moe Thuzar is with the Myanmar Studies Program at the Institute for Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore.
THUZAR: People are, I think, going about in fear of their safety every day.
SULLIVAN: And that's what Myanmar's military wants, says David Mathieson, a longtime Myanmar analyst now living in Thailand since the coup.
DAVID MATHIESON: To destroy, crush any opposition and try and ignore the damage to the society, the economy and the country's standing in the region. And if that's holding power over a funeral pyre for the whole country, they don't seem terribly worried with that.
SULLIVAN: Nor does the international community seem eager to intervene nine months in, argues retired Singaporean diplomat Bilahari Kausikan - apart, he says, from ineffective sanctions and condemnation.
BILAHARI KAUSIKAN: How is this, to use the U.N. charter language, a threat to international peace and security? It isn't.
SULLIVAN: The U.S. and China, he says, two superpowers vying for influence in Southeast Asia, aren't that concerned, either, as long as the conflict doesn't spill over into neighboring countries.
KAUSIKAN: Not such a big problem. It's a tragic situation, but a tragedy is not the same as a geopolitical problem. Both of them, the U.S. and China, have bigger things to worry - to wit, each other.
SULLIVAN: Not that Myanmar's military cares much of what the international community thinks. Last month, it sentenced 80-year-old Win Htein, an ailing longtime confidant of Aung San Suu Kyi, to 20 years in prison for high treason.
David Mathieson.
MATHIESON: And it's kind of like, yeah, that's right; we're the kind of guys that will persecute an 80-year-old man just because we don't like him with 20 years, a death sentence, to prison. That's who we are, world, and get used to it.
SULLIVAN: And a hint, he says, of the likely fate awaiting Suu Kyi herself, now being tried by the military on several counts, including sedition and corruption. Mathieson sees no way Myanmar's crisis ends any time soon. Neither does the International Crisis Group's Richard Horsey.
HORSEY: The most likely scenario for the next year or two is that a determined military unleashes an enormous level of violence to attempt to keep its control and expand that control and that the vast majority of the population of the country remains determined to resist that in any way they can.
SULLIVAN: For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai.

Maureen Corrigan's favorite books of the year: 10 disparate reads for a hectic 2022
Fresh Air | By Maureen Corrigan
Some years, my best books list falls into a pattern: like a year that's dominated by dystopian fiction or stand-out memoirs. But, as perhaps befits this hectic year, the best books I read in 2022 sprawl all over the place in subject and form. Here are 10 superb titles from 2022:

Of those aged 65 and older, 15 to 20 percent have mild cognitive impairment. People living with mild cognitive impairment are more likely to develop Alzheimers, and almost two-thirds of people currently living with Alzheimers are women.1
There are three basic forms of cognitive decline associated with aging:2
Age-related changes in memory, which are a natural consequence of aging.
Mild Cognitive Impairment, which involves mild memory loss such as forgetting important events or appointments, or an inability or difficulty with finding the right word in a conversation.
Dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s disease, is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and comprehensive cognitive impairment that may affect daily functioning.
There are a range of risk factors that can lead to cognitive decline, including:3
Increased age
Excessive use of alcohol
Physical and mental inactivity
Medical conditions, such as diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol
Low social involvement
Strategies to Help Manage Cognitive Decline
Intellectual Stimulation
Reading, learning a musical instrument, and playing cards or board games are all activities that stimulate the brain and may reduce cognitive decline.
Staying physically active can improve your mood, reduce stress, and help eliminate some of the medical conditions that are risk factors.
Low-Fat Diet
A nutritious diet, low in fat, may help reduce contributory risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.3
A Sound Night’s Sleep
It’s normal for sleeping difficulties to emerge with age, but insufficient sleep can impair memory and learning. Going to bed and waking up at the same time can help. However, if you have a sleep disorder, consider seeking qualified assistance.
Staying engaged with friends and family stimulates the brain. If you live alone or have limited social ties, look to build up contact with neighbors and social groups.
Talk to Your Doctor
It’s best not to self-diagnose or treat yourself if you think you are suffering from cognitive impairment. Visit your doctor to explain your symptoms and let him or her assess your condition and recommend the necessary treatment and counseling.

NLRB Alleges That McDonald’s and Franchisees Are Joint-Employers
By Epstein Becker Green on December 19, 2014
Posted in Retail
Our colleagues Adam Abrahms, Steven Swirsky, and Martin Stanberry at Epstein Becker Green have a Management Memo blog post that will be of interest to many of our readers: “NLRB Issues 13 Complaints Alleging McDonald’s and Franchisees Are Joint-Employers.”
While the General Counsel’s actions are alarming, particularly for businesses that rely upon a franchise model, the issuance of these complaints comes as little surprise because, as we reported in July of this year, the General Counsel had previously announced the decision to take this action and pursue claims of joint-employer liability. What is somewhat surprising about the announcement is its timing because the Board has not yet issued its decision in Browning-Ferris, 32-RC-109684, where the Board invited interested parties to opine in amici briefs on the benefits and drawbacks of the current standard relied upon by the Board to determine if two employers are a joint-employer and to propose a new standard and factors the Board should consider in such cases. Similar to its recent repudiation of Register Guard, the Board may use Browning-Ferris to moot the thirty years of joint-employer case law that followed TLI, Inc. 271 NLRB 798 (1984).
On the Wage & Hour Defense Blog, coauthor Steven Swirsky comments:
The National Labor Relations Board continues to focus on the changes in the nature of the employer-employee relationship, and the question of what entity or entities are responsible to a company’s employees for compliance with the range of federal, state, and local employment laws, including wage payment and overtime laws.
The Board’s General Counsel has now taken another big step in his effort to broaden the definition of “employer,” issuing a series of 13 complaints alleging that McDonald’s shares responsibility for franchisees’ employees. At the same time, the Board is poised to answer the question of whether the long standing test that the NLRB has relied on for more than 30 years to determine joint employer status should be replaced with a broader definition, and if so what it should be.

Kenya Needs 2 Million More Low-income Homes: Building Them Would Boost Its Economic Growth

World Bank says Kenya’s economic growth will dip to 5.5% for 2017, down from earlier forecasts
Slowdown in Kenya’s economic outlook is due to drought, weak credit growth, and rise in global oil prices.
Kenya’s GDP growth will accelerate to 5.8% in 2018 and 6.1% in 2019
Kenya’s economic activity remained robust in 2016 but is expected to dip in 2017 to 5.5%, picking up again in 2018 and 2019, according to the latest economic update from the World Bank Group. The Kenya Economic Update: Housing—Unavailable and Unaffordable, attributes the slowdown in economic activity to weak credit growth, the ongoing drought, and rising global oil prices.
“While Kenya is currently facing certain economic headwinds that are likely to dampen GDP growth in 2017, I am happy to note that the GDP forecast is expected to pick up in 2018 and 2019 as headwinds ease,” said Diarietou Gaye, the Bank’s Country Director for Kenya.

The focus section of this edition of the Kenya Economic Update is dedicated to analyzing Kenya’s housing market and the policies that can be put in place to make housing more affordable for many Kenyans, as stipulated in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the National Development Plan, Vision 2030 Strategy.
These blueprints have targeted the provision of 200,000 housing units annually for all income levels. However, the production of housing units is currently at less than 50,000 units annually, well below the target number, culminating in a housing deficit of over 2 million units, with nearly 61% of urban households living in slums. This deficit continues to rise due to fundamental constraints on both the demand and supply side and is exacerbated by an urbanization rate of 4.4%, equivalent to 0.5 million new city dwellers every year.
According to Mehnaz Safavian, Lead Financial Sector Specialist and co-author of the report, “Kenya can make housing more affordable to many more Kenyans, and in turn create new channels to boost overall economic growth both at the national and county levels.”
Numerous benefits can be attributed to improving access to housing finance, including economic growth, job creation, and deepening of the financial sector. There are various global examples supporting the “housing multiplier effect” as every dollar spent directly on a housing unit results in various indirect benefits to the country.
Kenya has the right fundamentals in place to achieve results on a significant scale. Collaborative efforts between government and the private sector are required, and a supportive policy and regulatory environment strengthened so that tools like the ones below can be leveraged:
Narrow the affordability gap in the housing market and improved financing for both developers and users. The inaccessibility of affordable housing finance is highlighted by the fact that there are fewer than 25,000 mortgages outstanding. Mortgage debt in 2015 represented 3.15% of GDP, substantially lower than in developed countries. Banks have limited access to long-term funding and few institutions have accessed capital markets to fund mortgages. Kenya ought to explore the role of SACCOs to help bridge the gap in the housing finance market.
Explore financing solutions can play a catalytic role in stimulating the supply and demand of affordable housing, and create momentum for other underlying reforms. Such solutions have been used in other emerging markets, including the creation of Mortgage Refinance Companies (MRCs), the provision of Housing Finance Guarantees, and developing Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for Affordable Housing.
Innovative financing instruments must be accompanied by policy reform to be effective. Such reforms include the standardization of mortgage contracts, the establishment of appropriate mortgage foreclosure regulations, a clear legal and regulatory framework for mortgage-backed securities and covered bonds, and the creation of an environment conducive to mobilizing long-term domestic capital. Underpinning these is the inclusion of cooperatives and SACCOs.
The Government of Kenya could rely on the private sector to provide financing for affordable housing, with government actively supporting the sector by creating the right environment for lenders and developers. Such support can come in the form of working with the private sector to attract financing through financing instruments, improving access to land, providing basic infrastructure, and improving the efficiency of accelerating mortgage registration and title transfers.
Outside of housing, Kenya’s economic performance is expected to strengthen once the rains return to normal, the global economy picks up, the tourism sector rebounds, and some of the underlying causes of slow credit growth are resolved, as well as the completion of major infrastructure projects.

Cutting Bars of Soapku
WAC 1 Comment on Cutting Bars of Soapku
by Timothy Green
Every year, the Wrightwood offers a unique publishing opportunity for poets around the world. Whole Life Soaps hosts an annual Soap Haiku contest, pressing one winning haiku on a custom line of all-natural handmade soaps. The winning haiku also appears online in Rattle magazine.
The contest is judged by Bill McConnell, the store’s owner. McConnell is also English Department Chair at Ontario High School and author of the novel Saving Xotchil, a thriller set in the Coachella Valley.
And he knows his haiku.
There’s a common myth in the U.S. that haiku is a matter of counting syllables (lines of 5, then 7, then 5), but that isn’t the case. Counting syllables doesn’t even make sense in Japanese poetry, which is a moraic language, metered by time rather than syllabics. Real haiku revolve around the process of “cutting”—known as kiru—where two competing ideas are juxtaposed, often to startling effect. The experience of reading haiku is like stepping into two different universes simultaneously. It’s a brief poem that pushes and pulls at the same time, providing a fleeting grasp of the ungraspable.
“I look for that elusiveness,” McConnell explains, “that contrast between joy and grief. When I started this contest, I made it a point to look for those layers of meaning. I also look for haiku that aren’t simply about my soap, but use soap to express an emotional contrast.”
Past winners have been excellent examples of this contrast. The 2017 soap haiku was written by Cheryl Heineman, a graduate of the MFA program at San Diego State University:
My dad held me up.
I smell him almost in the
soap you left behind.
The syllables may add up to 5-7-5, but the haiku’s power is drawn from the subtle shift in tense and subject. The first line is a memory of the past, but the last two exist in a different time and place altogether. It isn’t the soap “he” left behind, but the soap “you” left behind—not the father, but someone else, conjuring, for me, a here-not-here emotion similar to the experience of déjà vu.
Before a break for Covid, the 2020 winner was another great haiku, this one by Christina Tang-Bernas, which reminds us of the ways that the dead support the living in a never-ending cycle:
matter is never lost
I eat the fruit of the tree
you are buried beneath
These are finely crafted haiku that fit perfectly on the back of a bar of finely crafted soap. You might even say the Soap Haiku contest itself is an elusive juxtaposition. I wanted to learn more about how it came to be, so I went straight to the source.
Whole Life Soaps started out as a cottage industry in the McConnell kitchen in 2013. Bill and his wife, Laurie, started selling soaps at the local farmer’s market, and the business grew from there. Two years later, they moved into their current location at 6013 Park Drive in Wrightwood. As the business expanded, they worked to add a variety of products beyond soap, including lotions, lip balms, bath bombs, and products for men.
When I asked Bill how he got into soap-making, he gave the credit to his wife. “When we were first married and living in Ontario, she was always looking for ways to be more natural at home,” he told me. “At the same time, she wanted a hobby that we could do together, so she started making soap. She watched all these tutorials online and read a bunch of books and articles on the process. One day, a shipment of lye and coconut oil arrived on our doorstep. I was leery about working with it, but she just dived in. It was over a year before I started making soap, but I immediately fell in love with the process.”
“There’s an art to coloring and scenting,” he explained. “Really, I think anyone can make soap, but I think few people can make a soap that lasts a long time, smells good, feels good on the skin, and looks aesthetically pleasing.”
When the Wrightwood Literary Festival began in 2015, Bill wanted to participate and had the idea of stamping haiku into his soap. He figured it was the perfect poetic form for the task: “small, concise, and emotional.”
For the first two years, Whole Life Soaps published the winning poem on every bar that they made. As sales grew to around 700 pounds a month, it became difficult to keep hand-stamping poetry on that many bars of soap. So, more recently, the store is making a special line of soap for the winner that they’ll carry for six months. The winning poet will also receive a prize of $100 and a few complimentary samples.
Submissions to the Soap Haiku contest are free, but limited to one haiku per poet. They’re accepted online through a Google form or in-person at Bill’s shop during the 2022 Wrightwood Arts & Wine Festival on May 21st. This year’s theme is “Intolerance.”
More information, including full contest guidelines and the submission link, can be found on the Whole Life Soaps website—and while you’re there, you can also buy some soap to help support the project!

US wins latest legal battle to seize Russian yacht in Fiji
by: NICK PERRY, Associated Press
Updated: May 27, 2022 / 02:56 AM EDT
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The United States on Friday won the latest round of a legal battle to seize a $325-million Russian-owned superyacht in Fiji, with the case now appearing headed for the Pacific nation’s top court.
The case has highlighted the thorny legal ground the U.S. finds itself on as it tries to seize assets of Russian oligarchs around the world. Those intentions are welcomed by many governments and citizens who oppose the war in Ukraine, but some actions are raising questions about how far U.S. jurisdiction extends.
Fiji’s Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed an appeal by Feizal Haniff, who represents the company that legally owns the superyacht Amadea. Haniff had argued the U.S. had no jurisdiction under Fiji’s mutual assistance laws to seize the vessel, at least until a court sorted out who really owned the Amadea.
Haniff said he now plans to take the case to Fiji’s Supreme Court and will apply for a court order to stop U.S. agents sailing the Amadea from Fiji before the appeal is heard.
As part of its ruling, the appeals court ordered that its judgment not take effect for seven days, presumably to give time for any appeals to be filed.
The U.S. argues that its investigation has found that behind various fronts, the Cayman Islands-flagged luxury yacht is really owned by the sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov, an economist and former Russian politician.
Kerimov made a fortune investing in Russian gold producer Polyus, with Forbes magazine putting his net worth at $16 billion. The U.S. first sanctioned him in 2018 after he’d been detained in France and accused of money laundering there, sometimes arriving with suitcases stuffed with 20 million euros.
The FBI linked the Amadea to the Kerimov family through their alleged use of code names while aboard and the purchase of items like a pizza oven and a spa bed. The ship became a target of Task Force KleptoCapture, launched in March to seize Russian oligarchs’ assets to pressure Russia to end the war.
The 106-meter (348-foot) long vessel, about the length of a football field, features a live lobster tank, a hand-painted piano, a swimming pool and and a large helipad.
Haniff, who represents paper owner Millemarin Investments, argues the owner is another wealthy Russian who doesn’t face sanctions, Eduard Khudainatov. He’s the former chairman and chief executive of Rosneft, the state-controlled Russian oil and gas company.
The U.S. acknowledges that paperwork appears to show Khudainatov is the owner but say he’s also the paper owner of a second and even larger superyacht, the Scheherazade, which has been linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. question whether Khudainatov could really afford two superyachts worth a total of more than $1 billion.
“The fact that Khudainatov is being held out as the owner of two of the largest superyachts on record, both linked to sanctioned individuals, suggests that Khudainatov is being used as a clean, unsanctioned straw owner to conceal the true beneficial owners,” the FBI wrote in a court affidavit.
The U.S. claims Kerimov secretly bought the Amadea last year through shell companies. The FBI said a search warrant in Fiji turned up emails showing that Kerimov’s children were aboard the ship this year and that the crew used code names — G0 for Kerimov, G1 for his wife, G2 for his daughter and so on.
The FBI said crew members discuss a possible “upcoming G0 guest trip” noting he wants the quickest jet skis available — so they’ll need to buy new jet skis.
In his appeal, Haniff argues the U.S. case is based on hearsay and rumors spread by unnamed crew members, and there’s no evidence that Khudainatov couldn’t afford an investment in two superyachts.
The yacht remains berthed at Lautoka harbor in the heart of Fiji’s sugar cane region.

13 Investigates: Sweet deals for school supers
Updated: 12:46 PM CST Nov 7, 2014
Vestavia Hills is a great place to live according to the website, Business Insider. Its ranked in the top 50 best suburbs in the country. Ask any resident and most would say the great school system is part of Vestavia Hills' appeal. But according to some residents a recent decision by the school board is putting that reputation at risk. Lisa Crane has more as Alabama's 13 investigates sweet deals for school supers.For most of us, being retired means giving up your paycheck, but not if you happen to be Vestavia Hill's school superintendent.Jim Metrock is a Vestavia resident who says, “it makes no sense and that's the problem.” Thousands have viewed Metrock's 37 minute youtube video vent posted in August. Since then he's become the voice of those who've questioned the school board's decision to continue paying retired school superintendent, Dr. Jamie Blair, his annual salary and benefits equaling almost $200,000, even though he's already been replaced by a new superintendent.“I went to the school board and I couldn't find him. He no longer has an office even in the board of education building”, according to Metrock.In February of this year, Dr. Blair told the board he intended to retire on October 1st, 2015, even though his contract with the district ran through October of 2016. That gave the board more than a year and a half to find his replacement. But they started the search immediately.Over the summer the board made their choice and promoted assistant superintendent Sheila Phillips to superintendent and hired an assistant superintendent to replace her. Because Mrs. Phillips was already working in the district, they decided to move her start date from 2015 to August 1st of 2014, saying they wanted her at the helm as soon as possible. The board then voted to create a new position for Dr. Blair, saying that made more sense than simply buying out his contract and losing access to his experience and input.At the June 18th school board meeting, Board member Kym Prewitt said, “Its our intent to create a position called the executive advisor to the superintendent and move Dr. Blair into that position beginning August 1st.”They announced the move and voted on it with no public input at their June 18th, 2014 board meeting. So now, Dr. Blair is a consultant, working from his farm in Tuscaloosa County, on as "as-needed" basis. He's still receiving his $178,869 salary and his $9,888 car allowance. That's more than the new superintendent makes whom he's advising.We wanted to speak to school board members and district leaders about this decision, but they declined our request for an interview saying they feel like the school board meetings which were videotaped and are now available online speak for themselves. (http://www.vestavia.k12.al.us/boardvideo.cfm#)At one of those meetings, board member Jerry Dent said one reason they created a position for Dr. Blair had to do with his retirement. “He needs to get to October 2015 in order to qualify for certain retirement benefits.”But that's not true according to the deputy director of the Retirement Systems of Alabama. Don Yancey says whether Dr. Blair retires on October 1st of 2015 or on the day he turned in his resignation in February of 2014, his retirement benefits would be the same.Jim Metrock says this is just a case of board members cutting a sweet deal for a friend. “Jamie Blair just got tired of being superintendent.... so he talked to the board, basically they agreed let's get somebody new in here, let's create a job for you, you don't have to do much.”But school board president Kym Prewitt says, not to worry, no programs will have to be cut because of this additional expense since the system has plenty of money. “In addition to our nearly 70 million dollar annual budget we have a healthy reserve of 26 million dollars.” She adds they only legally have to have about $5 million in reserves... But that doesn't sit well with some residents.Jim Metrock, “Well no, you're supposed to be a good steward of our money even when we have a lot of money.” David Harwell, also a Vestavia resident, says, “Why not give this money back to the schools? And why not let Mr. Blair take this money and donate it back to the school foundation?”Harwell says this decision stings even more because earlier this year Vestavia Hills school officials successfully urged voters to extend a property tax hike set to expire in 2017. That money is earmarked for schools. According to Harwell, “It's supposed to be an emotional thing (getting the tax passed) where you're voting for your tax dollars to do it for the children. Let's do it for the children, let's do it for the children. Well why don't we do something for the children? It seems like everything we do is all around the adults.”Jim metrock says he's considering filing a formal complaint with the Alabama Ethics Commission over the job the board created for Dr. Blair. “That can't possibly be legal because they posted a notice for 14 days why did they post a notice? They already named the person who won the job, so that's also something that's been misleading.”Several residents have asked board members questions about these decisions. On several occasions board members have said that the district is contractually obligated to pay Dr. Blair till October of 2015, which has just sparked more questions and confusion.At the September 9th, 2014 meeting, resident Jeff Tenner asked, “But when he resigned, when you have a contract and resign because I don't want to work anymore, why do you have to pay someone because they resign?”The new superintendent says she speaks with Dr. Blair daily. At the September 9th meeting Sheila Phillips said, “As he is assisting me in assuring that we don't miss a beat. That might sound to some if he's not sitting at a desk everyday he's not doing that work, but I can assure you he is working.”]But is that enough to earn a hefty 6 figure salary?David Harwell says no, “If the school board cannot show that they have that fiduciary duty that they can be good stewards with the tax payer's funds then I would appeal to the school board and say everybody needs to resign.”Jim Metrock says, “We've hurt our reputation, our school board has hurt our reputation, that's a shame.”In several board meetings as residents asked questions about these decisions, board members have repeatedly stood by their actions and they maintain they are being good stewards of tax payer money.

NEW YORK (AP) – The estate of rapper Coolio plans to release a studio album later this year that the Grammy-winning hitmaker had been working on in the days before he died.
“Long Live Coolio” will be the first posthumous album release from the “Gangsta’s Paradise” star.
The first single, “TAG You It,’” dropped Friday featuring Too $hort and DJ Wino.
The raunchy single’s video begins with Coolio and Too $hort in a boxing ring as various women gyrate and marks the last piece of visual content Coolio appeared in before his death from cardiac arrest on Sept. 28, 2022, at age 59.

As her testimony ends, Amber Heard says she wants Johnny Depp to leave her alone
Actor Johnny Depp arrives in the courtroom at Fairfax County Circuit Court in Fairfax, Va. on Thursday.
Amber Heard told jurors Thursday that a harassment campaign waged against her by ex-husband Johnny Depp has left her humiliated and scared for her life from multiple death threats, and said she just wants "Johnny to leave me alone."
Heard was the final witness in the six-week libel trial Depp brought against his ex-wife. With cameras in the courtroom, millions of people have followed the trial, and interest seemed to gain momentum as the weeks went on and both Depp and Heard testified about the ugly details of their relationship.
Online and at the courthouse, Depp's fans have overwhelmingly dominated the narrative, with groupies lining up overnight to get one of the few spots in the courtroom and wave at Depp as he walks in and out. Heard has been booed by spectators on the street as she enters and leaves the courthouse.
"The harassment and the humiliation, the campaign against me that's echoed every single day on social media, and now in front of cameras in the showroom — every single day I have to relive the trauma," Heard said as she fought back tears. "Perhaps it's easy to forget I'm a human being."

Actor Amber Heard appears in the courtroom at Fairfax County Circuit Court in Fairfax, Va. on Thursday.
On cross-examination, Depp lawyer Camille Vasquez told Heard that "your lies have been exposed to the world" and questioned her about people who contradicted portions of her accounts.
"I know how many people will come out of the woodwork to be in support of Johnny," Heard responded.
Depp is suing Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." His lawyers say he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name.
Heard said she hopes the lawsuit will allow her to regain her voice, and said she had the "right as an American" to publish an article that described her experiences and how they relate to the national debate over domestic violence.
"Johnny has taken enough of my voice," she said. "I have the right to tell my story."
Spectators in court look at monitors in the courtroom at Fairfax County Circuit Court in Fairfax, Va., on Thursday.
She said Depp has been fixated on revenge ever since she filed for divorce and obtained the restraining order against him. She referenced earlier testimony in which Depp texted Heard's disgruntled former personal assistant and urged her to "come over for a spot of purple and we'll fix her flabby a— nice and good!!!"
"Johnny promised me — promised me — that he'd ruin my life, that he'd ruin my career. He'd take my life from me," Heard said.
Depp has denied he ever struck Heard, and says she was the abuser in the relationship. Heard has testified about more than a dozen separate instances of physical abuse she says she suffered at Depp's hands.
The final witness Thursday morning for Depp's side was a hand surgeon, Richard Gilbert, who said he thinks the injury that occurred to Depp's middle finger could have occurred as Depp describes it.
The tip of the finger was severed during a fight the couple had in Australia. Depp says it occurred when Heard threw a large vodka bottle at him. Heard says Depp did it to himself in a drug-fueled rage on a night when he also sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle.
Jurors will hear closing arguments on Friday. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3246 | {"url": "https://www.wwno.org/npr-news/npr-news/2022-05-26/as-her-testimony-ends-amber-heard-says-she-wants-johnny-depp-to-leave-her-alone", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wwno.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:14:05Z", "digest": "sha1:ITVAW2ENBNTHAQWO37JDHBURA4FXKDR6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3594, 3594.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3594, 6080.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3594, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3594, 184.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3594, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3594, 308.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3594, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3594, 0.4532967]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3594, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3594, 0.06474069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3594, 0.06474069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3594, 0.06474069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3594, 0.06474069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3594, 0.06474069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3594, 0.06474069]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3594, 0.01566307]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3594, 0.02436478]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3594, 0.03480682]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3594, 0.00686813]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3594, 0.12225275]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3594, 0.4592]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3594, 4.5968]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3594, 5.10855438]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3594, 625.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 185, 1.0], [185, 418, 0.0], [418, 721, 1.0], [721, 1018, 1.0], [1018, 1306, 0.0], [1306, 1328, 0.0], [1328, 1432, 1.0], [1432, 1616, 1.0], [1616, 1716, 1.0], [1716, 1994, 1.0], [1994, 2227, 1.0], [2227, 2313, 0.0], [2313, 2429, 1.0], [2429, 2747, 0.0], [2747, 2873, 1.0], [2873, 3080, 1.0], [3080, 3278, 1.0], [3278, 3549, 1.0], [3549, 3594, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 185, 0.0], [185, 418, 0.0], [418, 721, 0.0], [721, 1018, 0.0], [1018, 1306, 0.0], [1306, 1328, 0.0], [1328, 1432, 0.0], [1432, 1616, 0.0], [1616, 1716, 0.0], [1716, 1994, 0.0], [1994, 2227, 0.0], [2227, 2313, 0.0], [2313, 2429, 0.0], [2429, 2747, 0.0], [2747, 2873, 0.0], [2873, 3080, 0.0], [3080, 3278, 0.0], [3278, 3549, 0.0], [3549, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 81, 15.0], [81, 185, 17.0], [185, 418, 39.0], [418, 721, 51.0], [721, 1018, 53.0], [1018, 1306, 52.0], [1306, 1328, 3.0], [1328, 1432, 17.0], [1432, 1616, 28.0], [1616, 1716, 19.0], [1716, 1994, 47.0], [1994, 2227, 41.0], [2227, 2313, 17.0], [2313, 2429, 19.0], [2429, 2747, 54.0], [2747, 2873, 25.0], [2873, 3080, 36.0], [3080, 3278, 33.0], [3278, 3549, 52.0], [3549, 3594, 7.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 185, 0.0], [185, 418, 0.0], [418, 721, 0.0], [721, 1018, 0.0], [1018, 1306, 0.0], [1306, 1328, 0.0], [1328, 1432, 0.0], [1432, 1616, 0.0], [1616, 1716, 0.0], [1716, 1994, 0.01470588], [1994, 2227, 0.0], [2227, 2313, 0.0], [2313, 2429, 0.0], [2429, 2747, 0.0], [2747, 2873, 0.0], [2873, 3080, 0.0], [3080, 3278, 0.0], [3278, 3549, 0.0], [3549, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 81, 0.0], [81, 185, 0.0], [185, 418, 0.0], [418, 721, 0.0], [721, 1018, 0.0], [1018, 1306, 0.0], [1306, 1328, 0.0], [1328, 1432, 0.0], [1432, 1616, 0.0], [1616, 1716, 0.0], [1716, 1994, 0.0], [1994, 2227, 0.0], [2227, 2313, 0.0], [2313, 2429, 0.0], [2429, 2747, 0.0], [2747, 2873, 0.0], [2873, 3080, 0.0], [3080, 3278, 0.0], [3278, 3549, 0.0], [3549, 3594, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 81, 0.0617284], [81, 185, 0.09615385], [185, 418, 0.02575107], [418, 721, 0.01650165], [721, 1018, 0.01346801], [1018, 1306, 0.01736111], [1306, 1328, 0.18181818], [1328, 1432, 0.09615385], [1432, 1616, 0.02717391], [1616, 1716, 0.03], [1716, 1994, 0.03956835], [1994, 2227, 0.00858369], [2227, 2313, 0.02325581], [2313, 2429, 0.06896552], [2429, 2747, 0.01572327], [2747, 2873, 0.02380952], [2873, 3080, 0.01932367], [3080, 3278, 0.03535354], [3278, 3549, 0.02214022], [3549, 3594, 0.04444444]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3594, 0.98142058]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3594, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3594, 0.96484256]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3594, 108.16204426]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3594, 95.1893957]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3594, -37.25532057]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3594, 31.0]]} |

Xperience Group Raise Thousands For Alzheimer’s Society
Xperience Group raised over £6700 in aid of their chosen charity of 2017, Alzheimer’s Society, to help people affected by dementia, inspiring change and advancing research.
In 2017, Xperience Group selected Alzheimer’s Society as a chosen charity of the year. The Group held a raft of fundraising activities dedicated to this cause, raising over £6700.
Employees across Xperience Group biked, swam and ran their way to support people living with dementia and their carers. Taking on one of the toughest races in the UK, Vitruvian Triathlon, and the Belfast City Marathon, the teams push their boundaries, motivated by the good cause.
Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive at Alzheimer’s Society, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been chosen by Xperience Group as their charity for 2017. There are 800,000 people living with dementia in the UK. It is caused by diseases of the brain and can happen to anyone. “
“As a charity, we rely on the generosity of individuals and companies like Xperience Group to help us continue our vital work. We are extremely grateful for their fundraising efforts, helping Alzheimer’s Society to continue leading the fight against dementia.”
Sylwia Lysakowska, Marketing Executive at Xperience Group, commented “The challenges chosen last year put endurance levels to the test – suffice to say, our fundraising teams exceeded expectations and outperformed to support Alzheimer’s Society. I’m delighted for the total we raised. Onto the next challenge”.

Atriums
Atriums are often found as an architectural features in buildings, serving more than one purpose. They can be used as a light well, permitting natural light to pass through the roof structure, or they can be used for internal vertical circulation, incorporating escalators, lifts, and communication stairs.
Skylights-Rooflights
Skylights, also known as roof lights or roof windows, are installed in the roof of a building to provide natural light and ventilation. They are typically made of glass or plastic and can be fixed or operable, allowing for adjustable ventilation. Skylights can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be installed in a variety of roofing materials.
There are different types of skylights such as:
Fixed skylights: These are non-opening skylights that are designed to provide natural light but not ventilation.
Ventilated skylights: These skylights can be opened to allow for ventilation and can be controlled manually or automatically.
Tubular skylights: These skylights consist of a small, highly reflective dome on the roof and a tube that runs to the interior of the building. They are designed to provide natural light to small spaces such as bathrooms, closets and hallways.
Solar-powered skylights: These skylights have built-in solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity to power an automatic opener.
Skylights can also come with features such as UV protection, low-E coatings, and self-cleaning coatings to improve their energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.
Skylights can be an excellent way to improve the natural light and ventilation in a building, as well as to reduce energy consumption by reducing the need for artificial lighting and HVAC systems.
An atrium is an architectural feature that is typically found in the center of a building and is open to the sky. Atriums are usually multi-story spaces that are surrounded by other rooms or floors of the building. They are designed to provide natural light and ventilation to the interior of the building and can also serve as a central gathering or meeting space.
There are different types of atrium, such as:
Single-story atrium: an atrium that spans only one floor.
Multi-story atrium: an atrium that spans multiple floors.
Courtyard atrium: an atrium that is open to the sky but is surrounded by walls on all sides.
Lightwell atrium: an atrium that is created by cutting into the roof of a building to allow natural light to reach the lower levels.
Green atrium: an atrium that is designed to include plants and gardens to improve air quality and create a more natural environment within the building.
Atriums can have a positive impact on the energy consumption of a building by reducing the need for artificial lighting and HVAC systems. They can also create a sense of spaciousness and improve the overall aesthetic of the building.

Trump, family failed to disclose more than 100 foreign gifts, congressional report says

Former President Trump and members of his family failed to disclose more than 100 gifts worth nearly $300,000 that they received from foreign governments during his presidency, according to a report House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats released on Friday.
The report, based on White House records that the committee requested from the National Archives last June, identified 117 undisclosed foreign gifts received by the former president, former first lady Melania Trump, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, and Trump’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump.
Trump’s youngest son Barron Trump and the Kushner children were also listed as recipients of some of the undisclosed gifts.
The president and his family are not allowed to personally keep gifts worth more than $415 from foreign governments and instead must accept them on behalf of the United States. The gifts, which must be publicly disclosed, are then turned over to the National Archives.
After Trump left office, the State Department reported that it was “missing items of a significant value”, finding that a “lack of accurate recordkeeping and appropriate physical security controls contributed to the loss of the gifts.” A later report also said that the president’s office had failed to provide a foreign gift listing for 2020.
Friday’s report from the Oversight Committee noted that the undisclosed gifts create concerns about “potential undue influence,” highlighting that the Trump family failed to report $45,000 worth of gifts from Saudi Arabia, $47,000 worth of gifts from India and $3,400 worth of gifts from China.
The previously undisclosed gifts included, among other things, a “larger-than-life sized painting” of Trump from the president of El Salvador and a $3,755 gold golf driver from the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
White House email correspondence suggested officials may have provided inaccurate advice on reporting requirements, according to the report. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3250 | {"url": "https://www.yourbigsky.com/hill-politics/trump-family-failed-to-disclose-more-than-100-foreign-gifts-congressional-report-says/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.yourbigsky.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:01:43Z", "digest": "sha1:L4UWEWMCTRTZ7OU7IC2HLZAIR72OBKTU"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2163, 2163.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2163, 7902.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2163, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2163, 209.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2163, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2163, 218.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2163, 0.32439024]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2163, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2163, 0.03712036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2163, 0.03712036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2163, 0.03712036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2163, 0.01799775]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2163, 0.02362205]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2163, 0.02699663]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2163, 0.01219512]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2163, 0.20487805]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2163, 0.54954955]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2163, 5.33933934]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2163, 4.78844117]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2163, 333.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 88, 0.0], [88, 106, 0.0], [106, 142, 0.0], [142, 179, 0.0], [179, 453, 1.0], [453, 769, 1.0], [769, 893, 1.0], [893, 1162, 1.0], [1162, 1506, 1.0], [1506, 1801, 1.0], [1801, 2023, 1.0], [2023, 2163, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 88, 0.0], [88, 106, 0.0], [106, 142, 0.0], [142, 179, 0.0], [179, 453, 0.0], [453, 769, 0.0], [769, 893, 0.0], [893, 1162, 0.0], [1162, 1506, 0.0], [1506, 1801, 0.0], [1801, 2023, 0.0], [2023, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 88, 13.0], [88, 106, 3.0], [106, 142, 7.0], [142, 179, 7.0], [179, 453, 40.0], [453, 769, 46.0], [769, 893, 20.0], [893, 1162, 45.0], [1162, 1506, 55.0], [1506, 1801, 45.0], [1801, 2023, 34.0], [2023, 2163, 18.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 88, 0.03529412], [88, 106, 0.0], [106, 142, 0.33333333], [142, 179, 0.32258065], [179, 453, 0.03345725], [453, 769, 0.00977199], [769, 893, 0.0], [893, 1162, 0.01140684], [1162, 1506, 0.01179941], [1506, 1801, 0.04912281], [1801, 2023, 0.01869159], [2023, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 88, 0.0], [88, 106, 0.0], [106, 142, 0.0], [142, 179, 0.0], [179, 453, 0.0], [453, 769, 0.0], [769, 893, 0.0], [893, 1162, 0.0], [1162, 1506, 0.0], [1506, 1801, 0.0], [1801, 2023, 0.0], [2023, 2163, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 88, 0.01136364], [88, 106, 0.11111111], [106, 142, 0.19444444], [142, 179, 0.18918919], [179, 453, 0.03284672], [453, 769, 0.0443038], [769, 893, 0.03225806], [893, 1162, 0.02230483], [1162, 1506, 0.01453488], [1506, 1801, 0.02711864], [1801, 2023, 0.04054054], [2023, 2163, 0.01428571]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2163, 0.87297404]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2163, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2163, 0.97349167]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2163, -121.02717061]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2163, 75.78384976]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2163, -3.18608686]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2163, 10.0]]} |

Lexa Doig Bio – Net Worth, Measurements & How She Met Michael Shanks
In the movie industry, a lot of stars have garnered fame playing perfectly in either lengthy films, short films or in television series. For our person of interest here, Lexa Doig, she has gained more prominence on television series than in lengthy movies. Lexa is a Canadian actress who against all odds, withstood several storms and has gone ahead to build a successful acting career. She was a reccurring star in the Canadian-American fiction adventure series; Andromeda. She fell in love with one of her kind, married him and currently is a mother of three. Read on to find out more about Doig.
Lexa Doig’s Biography
Lexa Doig’s Relationship with Michael Shanks
Often referred to Lexa Doig, Alexandra Lecciones Doig was born on the 8th of June 1973 in Canada. She is the youngest of the children born to David W. Lecciones (father) and Gloria B. Doig (mother). Her mother; Gloria who is not an indigene of Canada, is a registered nurse from Dumaguete in the Philippines, while her dad, David is a Canadian who works as an engineer. Also, her dad is of Scottish and Irish descent.
As a child, Lexa Doig learned gymnastics and when she grew older, she studied the American Sign Language. She decided to take up acting as a career after she watched the theatre production of the short film; Porgy and Bess. Initially, Lexa didn’t venture into acting, she started up as a model just after she graduated from the Don Mills Collegiate Institute and later enrolled in the vocational modeling program. While she was still studying there, she got a lot of modeling offers and that became the platform she used in rising to fame.
At first, when Lexa Doig indicated her intents in the theatre world, her parents frowned at the idea especially because she dropped out of high school in order to pursue an acting career. Then, in a bid to get her parents blessings, she worked harder and later got the spot to co-host a famous game show; Video & Arcade Top 10. Ab initio, it wasn’t all juicy for the actress who was new to the show business, in her early years, she attended a lot of auditions before finally landing a role in the theatre production of the short film; Romeo and Juliet and also Arsenic and Old Lace.
Lexa’s film debut was in the movie, The Hidden Room (1993) where she played a minor role. She later landed another role in the 1995 movie, Jungleground but it was with her year 2000 movie, No Alibi that she gained public recognition. Alexander’s remarkable performance in the movie cemented her role in the television series, Andromeda. Later on, she became the lead role for the movie; Jason X in 2002. Recently, Lexa Doig has continually appeared on different roles both in movies and in television series like Killer Instinct (2005), Supernatural (2009), Tactical Force (2011), Continuum (2012–2015), The Arrangement (2018) and Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: The Disappearing Game (2018).
As regards the actress’ net worth, there has been an inconsistency in records. Some sources say that Lexa Doig is worth $500,000 while a few say her worth runs into millions of dollars. Whichever be the case, we believe that the Andromeda star has pocketed enough cash in the course of her career.
It is undeniable that Lexa Doig is one of the prettiest stars we see on set today. Her carriage in most of her roles depicts so much elegance and boldness. She stands at 5 feet 6 inches and weighs 50 Kg. Her body measurement of 35-24-35 inches (bust-waist-hips sizes) is proof that she has an hourglass shape.
Love is most beautiful when you find it with one of your kind. Lexa Doig and Michael Shanks both played as a cast in the movie; Andromeda, the two fell in love on set and took their affairs a step further. In the movie, Michael played as Lexa’s love interest and that scene marked the begining of their love life.
They dated for a while before taking their marital vows on the 2nd of August 2003 in Vancouver at Brock House. The duo has two kids together; Mia Tabitha (daughter) and Samuel David (son). Shanks also has a child named Tatiana Shanks from his past relationship.
Lexa and Michael are actively involved as charity fundraising partners for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

16 667 ladies in pink [and me: 10k, 38:18, 58th & 2nd V2]
Last weekend, I ran my second race of the week, in Caen. (This also explains for the uncontrolled posting of the weekend!) This 10k race is part of a large collection of races, called Les Courants de la Liberté, always near June 06 in commemoration of the D-Day landing on the nearby beaches in 1944. The marathon starts from Courseulles-sur-Mer (Juno Beach) and follows the coastline to Ouistreham (Sword Beach), before proceeding along the Ornes canal to Pegasus bridge, then Cambes-en-Plaine and its British War Cemetery, and ending up at the Memorial for Peace in Caen… The half-marathon starts from Pegasus bridge and the 10k even closer to Caen, as they all end up in the same place.
However, those road races (on the Sunday) are proceeded with a female race called La Rochambelle, the name of a health unit that was created and equipped by the Americans during the Second World War, as nurses and ambulance women in the 2nd Armoured Division of General Leclerc. The race is undoubtedly the most impressive of all by its size, 16 667 participants this year!, and the commitment to the fight against breast cancer through the local associations Mathilde and Etincelle. And the fact that all participants wear the same fuschia tee-shirt for the race. (The number of participants was limited to 16 667 this year to reach a support of 100,000 euros, for 6 euros by runner.) To stand in the stadium (next to my high school!) and watch this pink wave slowly but steadily occupy the whole stadium was a tremendous sight.
The 10k did not start very auspiciously as rain was pouring on us while we were waiting on a country road for the departure signal. When it came, rain had stopped and there was hardly any wind at all, which is a usual difficulty with this race. I managed to get close to the departure line (although it took me 5 seconds to reach it if I judge from the difference between my watch time and my official time). The first 5km went by in a blur: 3:33 – 3:52 – 3:46 – 3:50 – 3:48. By then I was faster than on Thursday. (Being in a larger group and passing people helped.) I started fighting by the 6th km as I was unable to reach the group of the first woman, a few meters in front of me, and ran the remaining kilometers by myself: 3:56 – 3:53 – 3:58 – 3:55 – 3:44, with two runners passing me on the last kilometer. I was quite pleased with the overall time, 38:18, but since there were many runners (57) in front of me, I did not bother checking about my position and went home for a warmer shower. It is only when checking the results after lunch that I saw I was second in the V2 category, which truly amazed me as this was not such an outstanding time. (There was no cup, though!) I presume the top runners were too busy running the half- and full marathons to take part in the 10k…

Extensive Online Documentation
Learn more about Online Documentation and why it could be beneficial to have an elaborate documentation on hand all of the time.
Regardless of the fact that the hosting service supplied by the different companies is more or less the same, every provider has a personalized platform with its own tweaks and different ways to carry out given operations. Because of this, an information-laden knowledge base would be exceptionally useful both for people with little or no prior experience and for technically skilled users who will at some point find out how given tasks are performed, but will lose valuable time in the process. The objective of such a knowledge base is to make the service fast and simple to use, sparing users both time and efforts. The end result is gladder customers, since they can easily find the info they are seeking, and much less work for the help desk support team members, because typically the vast majority of the enquiries and problems that clients have are already described in the knowledge base. Given that the articles are competently written and encompass more things, you’ll be able to discover more not only about your own account, but also about the web hosting service as a whole.
Extensive Online Documentation in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting plans include an extensive knowledge base where you can find information on all the predicaments that you could encounter and their solutions. You can discover how to create and administer a mailing list, how to use an .htaccess file, or how to proceed in case the settings of your email client are accurate, but still you are unable to send emails, for example. We have made every effort to be as exhaustive as possible and to cover all possible options so as to save you time and to supply you with different solutions for every problem. The knowledge base features educational articles as well – both general ones about the hosting service as a whole, and more specific ones, which will help you become familiar with the functions and features of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can find relevant articles about particular functions and features in each section of the Control Panel, while if you wish to browse through the whole article list, you should go to the all-inclusive Help section.
Extensive Online Documentation in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Help section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included in our semi-dedicated servers, will allow you to access the extensive online documentation that we have compiled for you. The articles themselves offer general information on our hosting services, instructional manuals about the various features that you can access, as well as troubleshooting instructions that can help you solve common issues that you may encounter. The topics that we’ve included encompass virtually everything, from simple things such as how to host a brand-new domain name in the account, to more complex ones such as which SSH commands can be executed on the servers. Articles that are dedicated to the features of a certain Control Panel section will always be available on the right side of the page that you are on, whilst the complete article list can be accessed through the all-encompassing Help section. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3255 | {"url": "https://xways.co/hosting-terminology/extensive-online-documentation/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "xways.co", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:16:27Z", "digest": "sha1:QMGF7QPEILMXG7YHGPX5WYOQMBYHWVFT"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3289, 3289.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3289, 5783.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3289, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3289, 148.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3289, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3289, 228.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3289, 0.51666667]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3289, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3289, 0.0162963]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3289, 0.01296296]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3289, 0.04148148]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3289, 0.01259259]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3289, 0.00166667]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3289, 0.08166667]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3289, 0.44301471]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3289, 4.96323529]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3289, 4.97492308]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3289, 544.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 160, 1.0], [160, 1251, 1.0], [1251, 1307, 0.0], [1307, 2327, 1.0], [2327, 2384, 0.0], [2384, 3289, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 160, 0.0], [160, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1307, 0.0], [1307, 2327, 0.0], [2327, 2384, 0.0], [2384, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 3.0], [31, 160, 22.0], [160, 1251, 185.0], [1251, 1307, 7.0], [1307, 2327, 175.0], [2327, 2384, 6.0], [2384, 3289, 146.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 160, 0.0], [160, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1307, 0.0], [1307, 2327, 0.0], [2327, 2384, 0.0], [2384, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 160, 0.0], [160, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1307, 0.0], [1307, 2327, 0.0], [2327, 2384, 0.0], [2384, 3289, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.09677419], [31, 160, 0.02325581], [160, 1251, 0.00458295], [1251, 1307, 0.10714286], [1307, 2327, 0.01078431], [2327, 2384, 0.0877193], [2384, 3289, 0.01546961]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3289, 0.49942178]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3289, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3289, 0.11868161]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3289, -74.42999929]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3289, 26.86806267]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3289, -130.24149239]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3289, 16.0]]} |

I say this a lot. In marketing and communication, perfectionism is often seen as the ultimate goal. But perfectionism can sometimes be a hindrance to success. When it comes to marketing, done is better than perfect.
Firstly, perfectionism often leads to procrastination. If you’re constantly striving for perfection, you’ll likely spend too much time on small details, trying to make everything “just right”. This can lead to missed deadlines and lost opportunities, harming your business.
On the other hand, if you focus on getting things done, you can always go back and make improvements later. By promptly getting your marketing campaigns out there, you’ll have more opportunities to gather feedback from your audience and make the necessary tweaks.
Secondly, the pursuit of perfection can be exhausting. It can lead to burnout and a lack of motivation, ultimately hindering your progress. By focusing on getting things done, you can maintain your momentum and stay motivated to keep pushing forward.
And finally, it’s important to remember that perfection is subjective. What one person considers perfect, another may not. By striving for perfection, you may be setting yourself up for failure because you’re trying to meet an unrealistic standard.

About Yoshantea
Growing And Making Tea Since 1880
The journey of Yoshan Tea can be told alongside the history of Taiwanese Dong Ding Oolong. Oolong has been cultivated on Dong Ding Mountain as early as the mid-19th century when local villagers started harvesting “qing xin oolong" in favor of the native “wild tea”. By this time, the Chen family of Yoshan Tea were already knee-deep in their exploration of Taiwanese oolong. It is now Yoshan Tea’s mission to preserve and continue the art of making this classic tea.
The history of the Chen family of Yoshan Tea goes back more than 100 years to when they began the cultivation and production of Dong Ding Oolong Tea in the Fenghuang Village located in the Lugu Region of Nantou County. The simple, industrious lifestyle and careful attitude towards tea making have since been deeply imprinted into the hearts of the Chen family. Since then, the tea production region has been expanded and developed, the wholesale business has been diversified, and there’s a rise in popularity with tea competitions, All of this laid an excellent foundation for the future "Yoshan Tea".
Mr. Chen moved the business to Zhushan, and established the Jia Jan Tea Production Facility (precursor to Yoshan Tea). Along with expansions in the scale of the business and rise in popularity of high mountain tea, Yoshan Tea began to co-operate and signed contracts with farms in each of the high mountain tea production zones. Mr. Chen also established a tea quality grading system, remodeled the store for a cleaner and uncluttered tea-drinking environment, and standardized the tea inventory management process.
Expansion in retail sales led to rising of branding importance. Mr. Chen decided to combine the meaning of the Chinese word “traveling through great mountains for great tea” to establish the brand "Yoshan Tea". Mr. Chen also set up the biochemical pesticide testing facility and began to strictly implement tea batch inspection and testing system (regarding the seriousness and hazardous nature of pesticide residues). Yoshan Tea also trained and sent tea culture experts to schools, in order to pass the tradition of Taiwan’s tea culture.
In 2008, Yoshan Tea built a new factory and made the company one of the very few tea companies with an ISO-22000 qualified manufacturing facility. In the same year, General Manager Miss Ye Shu-pen was one of the winners of the Council of Agriculture’s Shennong Award—a sign of affirmation by the government of Yoshan Tea’s years of contribution to the industry. Yoshan Tea also established “Tea Culture House” next to its production facility, so that visitors can learn about the diversity of Taiwanese teas and experience the production process.
Taiwan's tea industry continues its growth and evolution with the increasing appreciation from the youth and people with trendy lifestyles. In 2014, Yoshan Tea remodeled its “Tea Culture House” museum to shorten the distance between people and tea, with a multilingual introduction of Taiwanese tea culture and enhanced quality of experience. In addition, Yoshan Tea has been expanding branches in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, England, and the United States. Now, International tea drinkers can also experience the passion and hospitality of Taiwanese tea culture.
In 2016, Miss Lee met Miss Ye in Taiwan and decided to set up a store in Los Angeles to promote Taiwan’s oolong tea culture. Ms. Lee is now the manager of Yoshan Tea Los Angeles, which opened in Arcadia in 2016. This will mark the official entry of Yoshan Tea into the United States.

Can You F***** Believe It?
The F-word continues to reverberate both on Capitol Hill and in the Washington Post newsroom.
VP Cheney, who uttered “Fuck Yourself” to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) late last week, refused to apologize or express any misgivings that he said it.
OK. Most of us have probably said this at some point, though probably not to a U.S. Senator. But here’s what Cheney said to Bush before they were elected, er I mean stole the election.
“I look forward to working with you, Governor, to change the tone in Washington, to restore a spirit of civility and respect and cooperation.…The days of the war room and the permanent campaign are over. . . . We take seriously the responsibility to be honest and civil.” So said Mr. Cheney in February 2001, in his first major speech as vice president.
But Friday he said,
“I expressed myself rather forcefully, felt better after I had done it,” Cheney told Neil Cavuto of Fox News. The vice president said those who heard the putdown agreed with him. “I think that a lot of my colleagues felt that what I had said badly needed to be said, that it was long overdue.”
Badly needed to be said? Did he think that Leahy would as a result change his position on the war become a Republican because the VP pointed out the senator’s inability to contort himself?
Evidently, the usually pompous and pious Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) was OK with remark, too.
“With regard to the vice president’s comments, I did not hear the comments, did not witness the comments, but clearly they reflect a lot of that emotion,” he said. “Without taking one side or the other, a lot of personal feelings are being expressed, and that emotion came out by the vice president, and I’ll let the American people judge as to whether or not it was warranted.”
Pressed whether he condones the use of such language in the Senate, Frist pointed out that the chamber was not in session at the time, “so I am not going to condone, I am not going to overly criticize the language that people in the — the language that people use to express themselves.”
The “Wear-my-religion-on-my-sleeve” Dubya was also sanguine about it.
On Saturday, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said President Bush had no problem with his vice president’s language. “It’s not an issue with the president,” McClellan said.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post, which set tongues a-wagging when it published the obscenity uncensored, felt the need to explain itself and address the lack of consistency that we highlighted last week.
“When the vice president of the United States says it to a senator in the way in which he said it on the Senate floor,” says Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr., “readers need to judge for themselves what the word is because we don’t play games at The Washington Post and use dashes.” At the same time, the article recalled that in 2000 then-candidate George Bush made an off-mike comment about Adam Clymer, then a New York Times reporter, calling him a “major-league [expletive],” to which Cheney responded, “Big time.” Downie said the paper used the vulgar term for an orifice at the time and he saw no reason to repeat it in yesterday’s newspaper.
The Post also editorialized on the matter.
Whenever one of these angry moments comes along, someone points out that politics has always been rough-and-tumble, that attacks were pretty vicious in Thomas Jefferson’s day, and so on, all of which is true. It’s also true, though, as Mr. Cheney said in 2001, that there’s been less and less willingness in recent years to assume good faith on the other side, a trend that makes governing more difficult. Mr. Cheney indicated yesterday on Fox News that he has no regrets (“I felt better after I said it”), which in itself is another sad milepost.
The inability of this administration to admit fault continues to have deadly consequences, which are certainly more critical than an occasional “fuck.” But that the VP could not, as most had expected, simply say “I’m sorry I lost my temper” raises the question of whether that inability is seriously pathological.

How To Get Startup Funding?
Here's the recipe for a successful startup -
One great idea,
One or more passionate founders,
a good team,
some early users or customers,
and, most importantly, initial capital.
Now, most people have a great startup idea and are passionate about it. But what they usually don't have is a pot of money to get their business off the ground. This is where startup funding comes in.
Startup funding is the process of raising capital for your business from investors. These could be venture capitalists, angel investors, government grants, or even your friends and family.
But how do you get these people to invest in your business? And most importantly, what's right for your business?
This is what we're here to answer. In this guide, we'll tell you everything you need to know about getting startup funding, including:
Why do startups need funding?
Who all funds early-stage startups?
Where to find such investors?
The ways funding is disbursed to startups.
What do investors look for while investing in startups?
How to convince investors to invest in your startup?
By the end of this guide, you'll have a clear understanding of how startup funding works and what's the best way to get it for your business.
But before we dive into all that, let's first answer the most critical question:
Which funding is best for startups?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The best funding for your startup will depend on your specific business needs and goals. However, some common types of startup funding include venture capital, angel investment, and crowdfunding.
What do investors look for in a startup?
Investors usually look for a few key things when considering whether or not to invest in a startup. These include the team, the market opportunity, the product or service, the business model, and the competitive landscape.
Is bootstrapping better than funding?
Some startups may be better off bootstrapping, while others may need investment in order to grow and scale. For example, a startup that requires a lot of expensive equipment or inventory may need investment in order to get off the ground.
What are the risks of taking external funding for your startup?
There are a few risks associated with taking startup funding, such as giving up equity in the company, dilution of ownership, and losing control of the company. Additionally, there is always the risk that the startup will not be successful and the investors will not get their money back.

It's simple. You don't need funding to validate your business idea. An investor is least interested in giving you millions just so you can figure out whether people actually want to buy your product or not.
So if you're thinking of raising money just because you have a great but invalidated startup idea, think again.
What startups need funding for is to grow their business. And that's what investors are interested in - businesses with high growth potential.
This growth can be in terms of various factors like -
Hiring key personnel and expanding the team
Improving product quality
Creating awareness about the product
Reaching out to more customers, etc.
Investors love high-growth potential startups because they want to make money from their investment, and the only way to do that is if the startup they've invested in grows exponentially.
According to CBinsights, failing to raise startup funding is number one reason why most startups fail.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's take a look at who all funds early-stage startups.
Focus on the key phrase "early-stage startups" here. This means that the startup is in its initial growth stages and has yet to become profitable.
Not every investor invests in such high-risk ventures. In fact, most investors prefer to invest in established businesses that have a proven track record.
So, who does invest in early-stage startups?
There are a few types of investors who are more likely to invest in early-stage startups. They are:
Startup Incubators: Startup incubators are organisations that help startups in the early stages of their development. They provide mentorship, resources, and access to required resources to the startup (including funding). Some incubators even fund the startups they work with in return for a small equity stake in the business.
Startup Accelerators: Startup accelerators are similar to incubators but are more structured and deal with slightly more developed startups. They typically have a specific program that the startups go through. These programs last for a few months; at the end of it, the startups pitch to a group of investors. If the investors like what they see, they also invest in the startup in return for equity.
Angel investors: Angel investors are usually high-net-worth individuals who invest their own money in startups. They're often the first to invest in a startup and help it get off the ground. In return, they take a higher stake in the company than other investors.
Venture capitalists: Venture capitalists are professional investment firms that pool money from other investors (such as pension funds and wealthy individuals) to invest in startups. They tend to invest larger sums of money than angel investors but also expect a higher return on their investment. Mostly, venture capitalists invest in later-stage startups that have already proven themselves to be successful. But some venture capitalists are willing to invest in early-stage startups as well.
Crowdfunders: Crowdfunding is a way of raising money from a large number of people, typically through an online platform. You can think of it as a way of getting small donations from a lot of people instead of large investments from a few people. In return for their investment, backers usually get some kind of reward, such as a product or service from the startup. Some startups even offer equity to their backers.
Friends and family: Startups often turn to friends and family members for funding, as they are typically more willing to take a risk on an unproven company than professional investors are.
Government: There are a number of government programs and initiatives that offer to fund to startups. In India, for example, the government offers a number of schemes to support startup businesses, such as the Startup India Initiative.

Startup investments are not like usual investments where people simply give you money and wait for returns. Instead, they are more hands-on, and want to see the company succeed. There are five main types of investments that investors can make in your startup:
Equity financing: The most common type of investment made by VCs and angels, equity investment involves giving the investor a share in the company in return for their funding. This type of investment is often seen as high risk, as the investor will only make a return if the company is successful. However, it can also offer the potential for high rewards if the company does well.
Debt financing: An alternative to equity investment, debt financing involves the investor lending money to the company, which is then repaid with interest. This can be a less risky option for investors, as they will get their money back even if the company fails. However, it can also mean that the company has to give up a larger share of its profits to the investor if it is successful.
Debt Financing
Convertible Debt: This is a type of loan that can be converted into equity at a later date, typically when the company raises additional funding. This can be beneficial for startups as it allows them to delay giving up equity in their company, but it can also be more expensive in the long run if the company's value increases.
Convertible Debt
Grants: These are usually offered by government organisations or philanthropic groups and do not need to be repaid. However, they tend to have very specific eligibility requirements and are often only available to companies working in certain industries or pursuing certain types of research.
Startup Business Grants
Reward-based investments: Usually a model used for crowdfunding where a large number of people invest small amounts of money in exchange for a reward, such as a discount on the product or service once it launches. This can be a good option for companies with a strong customer base as it can help to generate interest and build buzz around the product or service before it launches.
Rewards-Based Crowdfunding
Every startup journey is unique, but most will go through similar stages and require different types of funding. The five most common rounds of startup funding are:
The pre-seed fund is the money you require to validate its problem-solution hypothesis. This is the very first funding stage and is mostly used to cover expenses such as market research, product development, and initial team salaries.
Usually, you cover these expenses yourself or with the help of friends and family. You can also join an incubator or accelerator program that will provide you with some initial funding, resources, and mentorship.
But there are exceptions. Say you plan to develop a rocket ship and need a lot of money. In this case, you look for outside funding from a VC fund or a government grant.
The seed fund is the initial investment you require to start your business's operations and get it off the ground.
This is when the planning stage ends and you've validated your business hypotheses by conducting market research, developing a product prototype, and testing it with potential customers.
Angel investors are the most active investors in the seed stage and they typically invest between $100,000 to $5 million in a startup.
Other sources of seed funding include incubators, accelerators, and crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
Series A is the first stage of venture capital financing where you start to scale your business by building your team, developing your product, and acquiring customers.
At this stage, you've validated your business model, got initial traction, and are now focused on growth.
Series A rounds usually range from $2 million to $20 million and the most active investors in this stage are Venture Capital firms.
Series A funding
Series B is the second stage of venture capital financing and usually happens when a startup has achieved significant growth and is looking to scale even further.
The company will have a much larger team, a more developed product, and be generating revenue at this stage.
Series B rounds can range from $30 million to $100 million.
Venture capital firms and private equity firms are the most active investors in this stage.
Series C and later rounds are for companies that have achieved significant growth and are looking for capital to continue scaling (expanding into new markets, hiring more staff, etc.).
These rounds can range from $30 million to over a few billions.
The most active investors in these rounds are usually private equity firms, venture capital firms, and investment banks.
There are a few ways to find investors for your startup. Some common methods include:
Personal connections and networking
Going through an accelerator program
How To Find Investors For Your Startup
According to Fundera, almost one-third of the businesses fail to get the financing they need, resulting in their failure.
Your existing network can be a great place to start when looking for investors for your startup, especially for the initial funding rounds.
Some of the people you might want to approach include:
Friends and family members
Former colleagues
People you've met through networking events
They are more likely to invest in your business because they know and trust you. Moreover, the initial investment is in the person or the team more than the product or service.
Besides this, networking is also a great way to meet potential investors who might be interested in your business idea.
You can attend startup events, trade shows, and conferences related to your industry. There are also online communities and forums where you can connect with like-minded individuals, such as founders, startup investors, and entrepreneurs.
Some popular networking platforms and events include:
Startup Weekend: 54-hour events that take place in over 100 countries around the world, aimed at building startups. Several of these events include real investors as judges and mentors
Startup Grind: A global startup community designed to educate, inspire, and connect entrepreneurs. The community hosts monthly events in over 125 countries and has over 5 million community members worldwide, including entrepreneurs, investors, educators, and more.
SaaStr Annual: One of the world's largest conferences for SAAS companies attended by over 10,000 SaaS founders, VCs, and others. The event includes over 1,000 sessions and keynotes from some of the top minds in the industry.
Slush: A student-led, not-for-profit movement founded to change attitudes toward entrepreneurship. Slush has grown into one of the leading startup events in the world. The event is held annually in Helsinki, Finland but they also hold small-scale spin-off events in various cities around the world.
Y Combinator's The Startup School: One of the most popular startup accelerators, providing seed funding and mentorship to early-stage startups. Their initiatives like The Startup School, which is a 10-week online course teaching how to build a startup, have educated over 100,000 founders worldwide.
Besides this, you can use platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to search for startup communities, people belonging to your industries, and startup events.
As an entrepreneur, data should be your best friend. There are a number of online directories and databases that offer detailed information on startup investors, such as:
Crunchbase: One of the most popular startup databases with information on over 1 million companies, investors, and people in the ecosystem. It's a freemium platform, which means that some features are locked behind a paywall. Use this platform to get information about your niche's companies getting funded, investors investing in companies like yours, and other startups in your space.
F6S: F6S is a global startup community with over 8 million members. This platform has a section called the Startup Directory which contains a list of startup accelerators, co-working spaces, and service providers. They also have a database of startup jobs, events, and deals.
AngelList: AngelList is a website that connects startups with investors. They have a database of over 15,000 funds and syndicates and have invested in over 190 unicorns.
Private Equity List: The Private Equity List is a dedicated directory for private equity firms, venture capital firms, and angel investors. You can segregate them using filters like countries, sectors, and even fund size.
Funden: Funden is an AI-powered database of startup investors that even provides assisted fundraising services (they introduce you to the investors). Besides this, you also get strategic guidance on fundraising at various stages.
Funderbeam: Funderbeam is a data-driven startup funding platform that allows startups to raise money from a global investor network.
Seed-DB: Seed-DB is a global directory of startup accelerators along with their investment data and statistics that you can use to identify the right one for your business.
Product Hunt: Product Hunt is a website that curates and highlights new tech products. The platform also has a social networking component and a section dedicated to startups. You can find like-minded people, get advice, and read about startups on their blog.
HackerNews: HackerNews is a social news website focused on computer science and entrepreneurship. It is a great place to find out about new startups, as well as funding opportunities. Various entrepreneurs share their stories on the site, which is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the startup scene.
VC News Daily: It's a dedicated news platform focusing solely on startups, venture capital, and funding news. You can find articles on the latest funding rounds, as well as advice and insights from VCs themselves.
Techcrunch: Techcrunch is a widely-read tech blog that covers a range of topics, including startups and funding. They have a dedicated section for startup news, where you can find the latest information on new companies and venture capital funding.
While some of these are actual directories, most of these are news and information platforms that cover the startup scene. You can use them to find investors who fund companies like yours and hop on to the directories like Crunchbase to find their contact information.
You can easily get your initial investment by winning some startup competitions. Organised by accelerators, incubators, venture capitalists, and even tech companies, these competitions include:
Pitch deck competitions
Business plan competitions
Prototype competitions
Business model competitions
Social impact challenges
Technology challenges, and so on.
You can find a list of all the startup competitions happening in your city or region on sites F6S and Gust.
The best part about these competitions is that you don't need to have a working startup to participate. Most of the time, all you need is a great well-defined idea for your product and the ability to pitch it well.
If you win, you not only get the prize money but also the attention of VCs and other investors who might be interested in funding your startup.
Accelerators like YCombinator, Techstars, and 500 Startups have proved to be great platforms for startups to not only get mentorship and resources, but also funding.
You can find hundreds of accelerators worldwide, many of which have their specific focus areas. For example, if you're starting a healthcare startup, accelerators like StartX and Rock Health provide great resources and funding opportunities specifically for healthcare startups.
To get into an accelerator program, you generally need to go through a competitive application process. Once selected, you'll be given a small amount of funding and access to resources like office space, mentorship, and networking opportunities.
In return, you'll usually give up a small amount of equity in your company.
Seed-DB is a great resource for finding startup accelerators around the world.
The internet has made it possible for anyone to raise money from a large group of people, usually in small increments. This is called crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo allow you to pitch your product or service to the masses and solicit funds. These platforms are popular with hardware startups, as they can pre-sell their products and use the funds to finance manufacturing. But you can even use crowdfunding to fund your SAAS business.
For example, the video hosting platform Vimeo used Kickstarter to pre-sell their premium service before it launched. And they raised over $500,000 in just few weeks!
You can choose any of these four crowdfunding business models -
Rewards Crowdfunding: In this type of crowdfunding, backers are rewarded with some kind of perk or product. For example, if you're starting a food business, you can offer backers a free sample of your product.
Equity Crowdfunding: In this type of crowdfunding, backers receive equity in your company in exchange for their investment. Equity crowdfunding is only available to accredited investors in the US. But platforms like Equitynet and SeedInvest are changing that.
Debt Crowdfunding: Like a traditional loan, debt crowdfunding allows you to borrow money from backers and pay them back with interest. The biggest benefit of debt crowdfunding is that you don't have to give up any equity in your company.
Donation Crowdfunding: In this type of crowdfunding, backers simply donate money to your cause with no expectation of anything in return. Wikipedia, for example, is primarily funded through donations.
The crowdfunding revenue model is a great way to validate your business idea and generate some early buzz for your product. However, it's important to note that not all crowdfunding campaigns are successful. In fact, the success rate is quite low. So before you launch a campaign, be sure to do your research and set realistic goals. Validate:
Whether the rewards you're offering are attractive to your target audience
How much money you'll need to reach your goal
The timeline for your campaign
Other risks and challenges associated with crowdfunding
If you decide that crowdfunding is the right route for you, there are a few platforms you can use to get started, including:
EquityNet: EquityNet is an equity crowdfunding platform that helps startups raise funds from accredited investors.
Wefunder: Wefunder lets investors, accredited and non-accredited alike, invest as less as $100 in startups in return for equity.
Fundable: A rewards and equity crowdfunding platform, Fundable is designed for startups that want to raise anywhere from $1k to $10m.
Kickstarter: A popular crowdfunding platform for creative projects, including art, design, film, games, and music.
Indiegogo: One of the first online crowdfunding platforms, Indiegogo offers flexible funding options for a wide range of projects.
Experiment: A platform for scientific research projects, Experiment can be a great option if you're raising money for a new invention or innovation.
Seed Invest: A equity crowdfunding platform that allows accredited investors to invest in early-stage companies.
Lending Club: A peer-to-peer lending platform that can be used for a wide range of purposes, including business loans.
Patreon: While not exactly a crowdfunding platform, Patreon can be a great way to raise money for ongoing projects by offering backers exclusive content or access in exchange for their support.
Even though different startups seem to follow different paths when it comes to fundraising, there is a general process that most of them follow. Here's a quick overview:
Assess the need for funding and investor readiness
Agreement and term sheet negotiation
The first step in the fundraising process is to assess whether or not your startup actually needs funding. In some cases, it might be possible to bootstrap your business and grow it without any outside investment.
There are a few key questions you should ask yourself before deciding to raise money:
What do I need the money for?
How much money do I need?
Have I validated my business model?
Do I have a solid team in place?
Do I have early customers or users?
Is my product or service ready for market?
What is my burn rate (the rate at which I am spending money)?
These answers will help you determine whether or not you are ready to start the fundraising process. If yes, how much money should you raise, and which type of investor is right for you?
If you've decided that you do need to raise money, the next step is to start reaching out to potential investors. To do that, you'd require a sound pitch deck that tells your story in a convincing and engaging manner.
A pitch deck is what you use to communicate the story of your business to potential investors. The purpose of a pitch deck is to:
Generate interest from investors
Secure investor meetings
Communicate key points about your business
The contents of a pitch deck vary, but there are certain slides that are essential in order to tell your story in an effective way. These essential slides usually include:
An overview of your business
The problem you're solving
Your solution
The market opportunity
Your business model
Your traction to date
Your financials
How much money you're looking to raise
Your startup pitch deck is more than just a few pretty pictures. In order to make a lasting impression, your deck must be clear, concise, and easy to understand. Additionally, it must be visually appealing and convey the key points of your business in an exciting way.
Usually, you develop two versions of your pitch deck - email deck and presentation deck. Your email deck is a more concise version of your presentation deck that can be easily emailed to potential investors. Your presentation deck, on the other hand, is what you'll use when presenting in person.
Once you have your pitch deck ready, it's time to start reaching out to potential investors. The more you research and the more prepared you are, the better your chances of getting funded.
Some things to keep in mind while researching investors:
Check if the investor has funded companies in your industry in the past
The stage of funding that the investor is comfortable with (seed, early stage, etc.)
The geographical region that the investor is interested in
The size of investment that the investor usually makes
Whether the investor is an angel, a VC, or a corporate venture capital firm.
Once you've shortlisted some potential investors, it's time to start reaching out. The best way to do this is through personal connections. If you know anyone who knows the investors, ask for an introduction. If not, you can reach out to the investors directly through email or social media.
When reaching out, keep your message short and to the point. Introduce yourself and your startup briefly, and mention why you think the investor would be interested in your company. Include a link to your pitch deck or website so they can learn more.
Once you've made contact, try to set up a meeting or call to discuss your startup in more detail. This is your chance to really sell your company and get the investor excited about what you're doing.
Startup pitches are unlike what TV shows and movies make them out to be. There's no need to be flashy or over-the-top. In fact, investors prefer pitches that are clear, concise, and easy to understand.
You're alloted a limited amount of time to make your pitch, so it's important to be prepared and know what points you want to hit.
The pitch is where your business knowledge and investor research will come in handy. You should be able to answer any questions the investor has about your business, and you should also be asking them questions about their investment preferences and strategies.
If the investor is interested in your business, they'll likely present you with a term sheet. This document outlines the terms of their investment, including how much money they're willing to give you and what percentage ownership stake they'll receive in return.
It's important to have an attorney look over the term sheet before you sign it. They can help you understand the legal implications of the terms and negotiate for a better deal if necessary.
Once you've agreed to the terms, it's time to close the deal. This usually involves signing a few more documents and transferring the money. If all goes well, you'll have the funding you need to get your business off the ground.
Investors are businesspeople. So you need to make a good case for why they should invest in your startup and speak of how your company will make them money.
Portray your business as an investment opportunity with a great ROI potential. Convince them that you're going to make them a lot of money, and they'll be more likely to invest.
Here's how you can do that:
Before you even approach investors, you need to have a firm understanding of your target market and industry.
You should be able to speak numbers, statistics, and other data that will help show them that you know what you're talking about.
The more knowledgeable you are, the more confident you'll sound, and the more likely it is that investors will take you seriously.
Investors are not all the same. Each one has their own preferences, styles, and areas of focus.
You need to do your research on each one before approaching them so that you can tailor your pitch to their interests.
The last thing you want to do is go in cold and try to wing it – that will almost certainly result in a rejection.
Investors want to know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and that their money isn't just being thrown into a black hole.
You need to have a clear exit strategy so that they can see how they're going to make their money back (with interest).
This could be through an IPO, being bought out by a larger company, or simply achieving profitability and then paying dividends to shareholders.
Besides the knowledge about the investor, you also need to be across your numbers inside out.
You should be able to answer any question they throw at you without hesitation and have a solid understanding of the competitive landscape.
If you can't answer their questions or if you don't understand your own business or the market you're operating in, then they're not going to have much faith in your ability to succeed.
Investors will also be looking at your team and assessing whether they believe in their ability to execute the vision. You need to sell your team's skills, experience and passion for the business to the investor.
If you don't have a strong team in place, it will be very difficult to convince an investor to give you their money.

United State of Unemployment
By Bill Humphrey March 6, 2009 - 4:01 pm July 29, 2014 Arsenal Essay
The New York Times has put out a cool interactive map of unemployment by US counties, as of December 2008 (Feb 09 unemployment was at 8.1%):
Click on the map to go to the full graphic.
There is, however, a major problem with this map that limits its overall usefulness. It’s great for just looking at how this particular recession is hitting various regions, which is what it was made for, but it’s concealing other issues. The graphic’s caption states, “Job losses have been most severe in the areas that experienced a big boom in housing, those that depend on manufacturing and those that already had the highest unemployment rates.” And it’s true that you can see this from the map. But that’s not good enough to get a real picture of current unemployment.
The map is based off what’s called U3 unemployment by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is the “official” number. Since the recession in the early 1990s, this measure has been reworked for political reasons and is still the one that the media uses to report unemployment figures (released the first Friday of each month). U3 unemployment only counts a person as unemployed if they have been looking for a job sometime within four weeks of the time of the survey, which means that if people have given up looking for work, they don’t get counted as unemployed under U3.
Look at the map and notice that, with the exception of the perpetually dying state of Michigan, the Rust Belt areas of Pennsylvania/Ohio/Illinois/Indiana/etc don’t really seem too bad in terms of unemployment. If you were to go there right now, you would find massive economic devastation and chronic joblessness almost everywhere in the Rust Belt, where the industrial/manufacturing jobs have been flowing out of the country for years. The disconnect between reality on the ground and the map above is because of U3’s insistence on discounting people who have just given up altogether because there are no jobs, so there’s no reason to bother looking. People who are not looking but could work, haven’t looked recently but could work, and people who are working part-time (because the economy can’t sustain as many full-time jobs as workers want) all fall under various categories that are not included in the official rate, U3.
If you have ever wondered why unemployment during good times is so high in many European nations, compared to the US, you weren’t considering the way unemployment is measured in each place. It’s pretty difficult to compare unemployment statistics between nations because every government counts it differently. But Republican politicians frequently deride high French unemployment and blame it on SOCIALISM (!!!!) to score political points. Let’s look deeper.
The 2008 Bureau of Labor Statistics estimate for the average unemployment for the whole year was 5.8% U3 unemployment. France had a 7.4% estimated unemployment for the year. At the moment, of course, with the recession, the US rate climbed to 8.1% and France’s has presumably also climbed. But if we now add back all the other folks excluded in the official rate, as described above, the US rate jumps up. The U4, U5, and U6 rates add in more and more groups, until we come up with an accurate portrayal of the unemployment/underemployment situation. The U6 unemployment figure for the US currently stands at 14.8% nationwide, and even one year ago before the recession got going, it was a full 4.3 points higher than the “official rate” of 5.2% U3 unemployment. At that point, the French figure doesn’t look too bad.
So, what exactly does the U6 rate measure and why is it important to understand? The BLS describes U6 thus:
Total unemployed, plus all marginally attached workers, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers.
NOTE: Marginally attached workers are persons who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the recent past. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not looking currently for a job. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule.
From what I’ve read, this is very comparable to how the French government measures its national unemployment rate. It’s more honest, but it’s disheartening. It’s politically expedient to quote the U3 figure and move on to praising the American way. It’s also taken me WAY too long to explain this, which is why when the unemployment data comes out, only the official rate makes the news. What anchor wants to explain U6?
But when the official reports say we had only 7.2% national unemployment in December, it makes the map above look much better and much less permanent, and it means we don’t have to worry about the parts of the country that are often doubly and chronically worse off in joblessness. In reality, we’ve reached nearly 15% unemployment.

The Arts Undergraduate Society operates a $180K+ budget and is governed by policies evoked by the AMS and the Arts Student body. Council, composed of the elected AUS Executives, AUS club Representatives and elected AMS Representatives, functions as AUS’s decision-making body and acts as a platform for students to speak on issues that concern their academic experience.
The council needs to hold the Society’s operation accountable – Your voice matters! We are collectively representing Arts student voices and driving changes that will affect our collective experience. Council minutes are taken and published on our website after each council, for all students to access and learn about any decisions that are being made in the AUS.

The objective of scaling and root planing is to remove etiologic agents which cause inflammation to the gingival (gum) tissue and surrounding bone. Common etiologic agents removed by this conventional periodontal therapy include dental plaque and tartar (calculus).
These non-surgical procedures which completely cleanse the periodontium, work very effectively for individuals suffering from gingivitis (mild gum inflammation) and moderate/severe periodontal disease.
Reasons for scaling and root planing
Scaling and root planing can be used both as a preventative measure and as a stand-alone treatment. These procedures are performed as a preventative measure for a periodontitis sufferer.
Here are some reasons why these dental procedures may be necessary:
Disease prevention – The oral bacteria which cause periodontal infections can travel via the bloodstream to other parts of the body. Research has shown that lung infections and heart disease have been linked to periodontal bacteria. Scaling and root planing remove bacteria and halts periodontal disease from progressing, thus preventing the bacteria from traveling to other parts of the body.
Tooth protection – When gum pockets exceed 3mm in depth, there is a greater risk of periodontal disease. As pockets deepen, they tend to house more colonies of dangerous bacteria. Eventually, a chronic inflammatory response by the body begins to destroy gingival and bone tissue which may lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in the developed world.
Aesthetic effects – Scaling and root planing help remove tartar and plaque from the teeth and below the gumline. As an added bonus, if superficial stains are present on the teeth, they will be removed in the process of the scaling and root planing procedure.
Better breath – One of the most common signs of periodontal disease is halitosis (bad breath). Food particles and bacteria can cause a persistent bad odor in the oral cavity which is alleviated with cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing.
What do scaling and root planing treatments involve?
Scaling and root planing treatments are only performed after a thorough examination of the mouth. The dentist will take X-rays, conduct visual examinations and make a diagnosis before recommending or beginning these procedures.
Depending on the current condition of the gums, the amount of calculus (tartar) present, the depth of the pockets and the progression of the periodontitis, local anesthetic may be used.
Scaling – This procedure is usually performed with special dental instruments and may include an ultrasonic scaling tool. The scaling tool removes calculus and plaque from the surface of the crown and root surfaces. In many cases, the scaling tool includes an irrigation process that can also be used to deliver an antimicrobial agent below the gums that can help reduce oral bacteria.
Root Planing – This procedure is a specific treatment which serves to remove cementum and surface dentin that is embedded with unwanted microorganisms, toxins and tartar. The root of the tooth is literally smoothed in order to promote good healing. Having clean, smooth root surfaces helps bacteria from easily colonizing in future.
Following these deep cleaning procedures, the gum pockets may be treated with antibiotics. This will soothe irritation and help the gum tissues to heal quickly.
During the next appointment, the dentist or hygienist will thoroughly examine the gums again to see how well the pockets have healed. If the gum pockets still measure more than 3mm in depth, additional and more intensive treatments may be recommended.

Psychology of Behavioral Safety
Many companies have spent a lot of time and effort improving safety, usually by addressing hardware issues and installing safety management systems that include regular (e.g. monthly) line management safety audits. Over a number of years these efforts tend to produce dramatic reductions in accident rates.
Often, however, a plateau of minor accidents remains that appears to be stubbornly resistant to all efforts to remove them. Although many of these are attributed to peoples' carelessness or poor safety attitudes, most of these are triggered by deeply ingrained unsafe behaviors. Behavioral Safety addresses these by making use of proven management techniques which almost always results in a positive step change in safety performance and safety attitudes.
Why Focus on Unsafe Behavior?
Although difficult to control, approximately 80-95 percent of all accidents are triggered by unsafe behaviors, which tend to interact with other negative features (termed Pathogens) inherent in workflow processes or present in the working environment. Often inadvertently introduced by the implementation of strategic plans, every organization has its fair share of accident causing pathogens. These pathogens lie dormant and are relatively harmless, until such time as two or more combine and are triggered by an unsafe behavior to produce an accident.
Illustrating this, is a company that installed a new production process that entailed designing and building two new mezzanine floors in an existing plant. A project team had approved plans developed by plant based engineers. Once the construction work was complete, it was found that supporting girders had been installed five foot above the second step of a staircase on both floors, thereby introducing two pathogens into the physical environment. During commissioning of the process equipment, product blockages were frequently found to occur in the related pipe work (a third pathogen) that could only be cleared by going to the top mezzanine floor where the inspection hatch was situated. Due to increased production pressures and reduced manning resulting from a downsizing exercise the blockage required the operator to isolate the equipment at a lower production floor (another pathogen), and ascend the stairs to the mezzanine floors to clear the pipe work. At this point all these pathogens combined to trigger an accident when the operator rushed up the stairs to clear the blockage. He ran into one of the low girders, gashing his head and inflicting whiplash effects on his neck while also knocking himself unconscious. This resulted in a reportable accident, lost production and associated costs, etc.
In this true example, the potential for this type of lost-time accident will always be present until such time as the pathogens are addressed. Given that it is much more difficult to address these resident pathogens, focusing attention upon the operator’s unsafe behavior of running up the stairs is a much easier option as it is within the operator's control, whereas the pathogens are not. Because behavioral safety approaches identify and focus on particular sets of unsafe behaviors, people tend to be more aware of their potential to cause harm. In turn this gives people the mechanism by which they can control their own safety behavior and that of their colleagues.
A focus upon unsafe behaviors also provides a much better index of ongoing safety performance than accident rates for two reasons: First, accidents are the end result of a causal sequence that is usually triggered by an unsafe behavior; And second, unsafe behaviors can be measured in a meaningful way on a daily basis. Accident rates tend to be used as the primary outcome measure of safety performance simply because they signal that something is wrong within the company's safety management system. Because of the way they are calculated, they also provide a crude benchmark by which companies can compare the effectiveness of their safety management systems across industries. Unfortunately, this tends to result in management attention and resources being focused on safety only when accident rates rise dramatically. When the immediate problems appear to be resolved, management attention and resources are diverted to other pressing organizational issues until such time as the accident rate rises once again, and so on.
Consequently, rather than being proactive, those who focus almost exclusively on accident rates as a measure of safety performance tend to be reactive in their approach to safety. Conversely, a regular focus on actual safety behavior is proactive as it allows other safety-related issues in the accident causal chain to be identified and dealt with before an incident occurs. Because 'safety behavior' is the unit of measurement, a collaborative, problem-solving approach involving both management and employees is adopted to identify critical sets of safe and unsafe behaviors and used to develop 'Safety Behavior Inventories' (See Cooper, 1998). These inventories provide the basis for personnel to systematically monitor and observe their colleague’s ongoing safety behavior, on a daily basis, in an enabling atmosphere. Based on the first few weeks’ results of the peer monitoring, the workforce set their own 'safety improvement' targets. Information feedback is then provided on a weekly basis to allow the workgroups to track their progress in reaching the safety improvement targets. Companies adopting this approach are usually rewarded by fewer accidents, consistent safety management, better communications and greater involvement in team working, all of which can exert beneficial effects on production related issues and bottom line profits.
Why Do People Behave Unsafely?
People often behave unsafely because they have never been hurt before while doing their job in an unsafe way: 'I've always done the job this way' being a familiar comment. This may well be true, but the potential for an accident is never far away as illustrated by various accident triangles. Heinrich's triangle, for example, suggests that for every 330 unsafe acts, 29 will result in minor injuries and 1 in a major or lost time incident. Over an extended period of time, therefore, the lack of any injuries for those who are consistently unsafe is actually reinforcing the very behaviors that in all probability will eventually lead them to be seriously injured. The principle being illustrated here is that the consequences of behaving unsafely will nearly always determine future unsafe behavior, simply because reinforced behavior tends to be repeated.
Although it is not unusual to find the continuation of unsafe behaviors being supported by more than one reinforcer, some will exert stronger effects on peoples' behavior than others. This is particularly the case for reinforcers that are soon, certain and positive. Smokers, for example, find it hard to stop because the consequences of smoking are soon (immediate), certain (every time) and positive (a nicotine top up), whereas the negative consequences (e.g. lung cancer) are late (some years away) and uncertain (not every smoker contracts or dies from lung cancer). In exactly the same way, employees will find it hard to follow certain safety rules and procedures if they are consistently (certain) rewarded by an immediate (soon) timesaving that achieves extra production (positive) by behaving unsafely. What would you do, for example, if you were faced with a ten to fifteen minute period to put on the correct clothing and equipment to enter a mandatory PPE area to read a gauge that takes only 10 seconds?
In some instances, the actual workflow process also reinforces peoples' unsafe behavior. By way of example, supermarket 'shelf' stackers were required to replenish freezers with frozen foods. Warehousemen fully load five-foot high, three-sided meshed trolleys with large cartons of frozen foods. The stackers push the trolleys from the warehouse and transfer the individual packages into the appropriate freezer. Unfortunately, no provision was made for the storage or disposal of empty cartons. To ensure customer access to the surrounding freezers, while also avoiding the creation of tripping hazards, the stackers were forced to place all the empty cartons on the top of the trolley at the rear. This particular unsafe behavior had the potential to injure both customers and stackers due to the trolley tipping over when the last carton was removed from the trolley because of the additional, unbalanced, weight. Nevertheless, it soon became part of the stackers normal way of working, because their behavior was always (certain) reinforced immediately (soon) by getting their job done (positive) to maintain sales volume.
Unsafe behavior is sometimes further reinforced by line managers turning a blind-eye, or actively encouraging employees to take short-cuts for the sake of production. Unfortunately, this has negative effects that are not always immediately apparent: First, employees learn that unsafe behavior pays; Second, it wastes resources as the very behaviors that companies spend a lot of time, money and effort trying to eradicate are reinforced; and third, by condoning unsafe behavior, line managers are transmitting conflicting messages that undermines employee's confidence in the whole of management's commitment to safety.
How Do We Stop People Behaving Unsafely? Why not engineer out hazards?
Eliminating hazards by engineering them out or introducing physical controls can be an effective way of limiting the potential for unsafe behavior. While successful in many instances, it does not always work, simply because people have the capacity to behave unsafely and override any engineering controls.
For example, in attempts to reduce the number of fatalities associated with quarry transport, companies install belt conveyers to replace vehicles as the main haulage system for transporting extracted minerals. To overcome major operational problems associated with these conveyance systems (e.g. the spillage of minerals at transfer points from the belt), engineer’s design and install belt scrapers to minimize mineral build-ups at the pulleys to reduce belt distortion. Despite these precautions, materials often build-up at the nip point between belt and pulley. When this occurs, it is not unusual to find operators removing the guards while the belt is still in operation to clear the material build-up. Others are known to attempt to clear the moving pulleys with iron bars or shovels. In both cases there is a high risk of the tools becoming caught in the nip points of a pulley, and drawing the operator in with serious consequences.
Clearly, despite the presence of the machine guards, operators often believe that the consequences of behaving unsafely will be more than repaid by continued production. This illustrates the point that many engineering solutions tend to be reliant on peoples' 'rule following' behavior (e.g. stopping the machinery before removing guards) but people still have the capacity to ignore them and behave unsafely.
Thus, although engineering solutions have a strong place in safety management, they cannot be relied upon.
How Do We Stop People Behaving Unsafely? Why not change people’s attitudes?
Comments on accident reports often say 'So and So should take more care. With better attitudes and safety awareness, this accident would not have happened'. Where this occurs, attempts to change unsafe behavior usually hinge upon the belief that attitudes determine behavior (Indeed, this is a very common opinion amongst many safety professionals). Remedies tend to rely on publicity campaigns and safety training to bring about changes in people’s attitudes, which in turn is expected to change people’s behavior. Although positive safety attitudes are important and very desirable, the link from attitude change to behavior change is very weak. This can be explained by the fact that a single attitude comprises of at least three components: thinking (cognitive), feeling (emotional), and the intention to act on it (commitment). Additionally, a single attitude is usually linked with a set of other related attitudes. Logic dictates, therefore, that attempts at attitude change must target each individual component of each individual attitude, for each single employee. In practical terms this is nigh on impossible.
Fortunately, the link from behavior change to attitude change is much stronger. If people consciously change their behavior, they also tend to re-adjust their associated attitudes and belief systems to fit the new behavior. This occurs because people try to reduce any tension caused by a mismatch between their behavior and attitudes. Behavior change, therefore, tends to lead to new belief and attitude systems that buttress the new set of behaviors. This was demonstrated in a manufacturing plant, where the safety climate of the company was measured before introducing behavioral safety. Eighteen months later, the company's safety climate was re-measured. Positive changes occurred in six of seven topic areas (Cooper & Phillips, 2004).
An additional factor that enhances attitude change by focusing on behavior is the positive reinforcement brought about by peer pressure. Psychologists have known for some time that group membership demands conformity to the groups' behavioral and attitudinal 'norms'. If a workgroup adopts the 'norm' that 'thinking and behaving safely' is best for all concerned, the group as a whole will tend to apply social 'sanctions' to the individual who deviates from this norm and behaves unsafely. If people wish to remain a part of the social fabric of the workgroup, they soon revert back to the safety norm and behave safely. Importantly, this illustrates the point that workgroups will adopt a collective definition of those behaviors, work practices or tasks that are considered to be risky (Cooper, 1997). This fact lies at the very heart of behavioral safety, simply because its essence is to help workgroups positively redefine their own safety related 'norms.
How Do We Stop People Behaving Unsafely? Why not punish people until they behave safely?
Some approaches to safety management are heavily reliant on the use of authority, fear and punishment (i.e. if you do not behave in a safe manner at work you could be reprimanded, fined or even dismissed). These approaches emphasize the use of discipline and punishment to discourage unsafe behavior, while safe behavior is largely ignored. This often results in the opposite of that intended (e.g. accident or near-miss incidents are not reported for fear of sanctions). Although the judicious use of discipline and punishment can have the intended effects, more often than not it doesn't. The reason for this is quite simple: The effectiveness of punishment is dependent upon its consistency. It only works if is given immediately, and every single time an unsafe behavior occurs. It is self-evident that punishing someone every time they behave unsafely is a very difficult thing to do, simply because they will not always be seen to do so by those in authority. This means those soon, certain and positive reinforcers gained from behaving unsafely will tend to outweigh any uncertain, late, negative reinforcers received from inconsistent punishment.
Thus, although punishing those who deliberately put other people at risk is a valid option, punishing people for everyday infractions of safety rules (e.g. not wearing a hard hat) is a very difficult thing to do consistently and does not address the underlying problems (e.g. the hard hat is uncomfortable or gets in the way of doing the job safely). In essence, therefore, punishment should be reserved: [1] to those who deliberately put other people at risk; and [2] only after the organization has done everything in its power to create the safest working environment, provide the most comfortable protective equipment and a persons' unsafe behavior is a consistent, willful act aimed at flouting authority.
How can we stop unsafe behavior? Why not praise people for behaving safely?
So how can line management ensure that the reinforcers for working safely outweigh those for working unsafely? It is a fact that most people tend to respond more to praise and social approval than any other factor. Think if you will, of people smoking their first cigarette. This normally occurs during the teenage years because it is seen as the 'thing' to do. Although the cigarette smoke may taste foul and cause severe coughing, people will continue to suffer the discomfort, if the cigarette smoking behavior meets with their peer group's approval. Likewise, some people may not use PPE or follow a procedure at work because of their colleague’s disapproval: e.g. it goes against the workgroup's macho image.
It makes sense, therefore, to make use of this phenomenon and praise people for behaving safely (something very rarely done) to bring about the required changes (Incentive and reward schemes reflect this principle). Crucially, the effect of this is to explicitly link the desired safe behavior to the praise received. Once the required behavior pattern starts to become established, the timing and frequency of the praise and social approval can be reduced over a period of time: i.e. it doesn't need to be given immediately and every single time that someone is seen to be behaving safely. Additional benefits include the strengthening of a positive safety culture due to increased trust and confidence between line managers and the workforce.
Thus, positive praise coupled with constructive feedback, tends to eliminate unsafe behavior.
We know that focusing on people's safety behavior will bring about the desired changes and that attitude changes follow behavioral changes. We know that social approval and encouragement can bring about positive changes in safety 'norms'. We also know the workforce is best placed to redefine their safety 'norms, as they control their own behavior. It follows, therefore, that any safety improvement initiative which relies almost exclusively on line management's efforts, is less likely to be as successful as one that empowers and enables the workforce itself.
Accordingly, behavioral safety approaches are very much driven and shaped by the workforce, in conjunction with line management. In this way, the workforce is given responsibility and authority for identifying, defining and monitoring their own safe and unsafe behaviors, as well as setting their own 'safety improvement' targets. As a result, workgroups are able to redefine their own safety related 'norms' in an enabling atmosphere. Line management facilitate this process by providing the necessary resources and support to encourage 'employee ownership of safety', while also stressing that no individual will be identified or disciplined as a result of the monitoring. In this way a 'blame free' pro-active safety culture is created that is so vital for long-term success.
Have we provided insights into many of the issues you face? If so, perhaps now is the time for your company to consider behavioral safety as the way forward. But you are wondering if it will work.....
Because the behavioral approach differs considerably from traditional ways of improving safety, a question commonly asked is 'Do these ideas work in practice?' Overwhelmingly, the answer is yes! Researchers from around the globe have consistently reported positive changes in both safety behavior and accident rates, regardless of the industrial sector or company size (See references section). These include studies conducted in construction, mining, engineering, bakeries, food processing, manufacturing, oil & gas, shipbuilding and others (See the references section particularly the reviews by McAfee &Winn, 1989 & Sulzer-Azeroff et al., 1994, Grindle et al, 2000). Positive results have also been obtained by the author and colleagues over the last decade in many sectors of the UK, Irish and US economies, such as Construction (Duff et al., 1993), Manufacturing (Cooper et al., 1994), Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Paper, Foods, Steel, Paints and Offshore Oil & Gas. Typical results include:
1. 40-75 percent reductions in accident rates and accident costs year on year
2. 20-30 percent improvements in safety behavior year on year
3. Greater workforce involvement in safety
4. Better communications between management and the workforce
5. Ongoing improvements to Safety Management Systems
6. Improved Safety Climates
7. Greater 'ownership' of safety by the workforce
8. More positive attitudes towards safety
9. Greater individual acceptance of responsibility for safety.
Thus Behavioral Safety has a lot to offer to the world of work, although it must be stressed that it is not a panacea to cure all ills.

what I did last year
This is a post I intended to write in May, as my second academic year of unemployment-by-choice, as I've been calling it, neared an end, an end that began with ten weeks of summer break. But in May I was furiously wrapping up the first season of the Artists in Offices podcast. Check that off the list! For now, at least.
But first, before I get into my goals for this year, a (brief) look back, as I did last year, at the half-dozen blog posts I wrote in 2018-19:
A recap of the first time I spent 10 weeks of summer "break" with both kids in tow 24/7. Over that long period, I managed to carve out just one afternoon alone to go to a movie I really didn't want to have to wait until it was streaming on Netflix to see.
A DIY version of Arby's Jamocha shake for National Chocolate Milkshake Day. I mean, why not?
As if my crazy cat lady status wasn't already official, I wrote a cat-themed parody, with accompanying music video, of Sophie B. Hawkins' 'Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover'. Blog post here, in case this requires further explanation.
A late fall podcast status update.
Once the podcast launched, I wrote a fairly thorough summary of how the project went from idea to podcast, and everything in between.
And, over the summer, a little more about what the podcast is about.
So, yeah, the big project of the year was the podcast. But let's take a few minutes to review my original to do list after I left my last day job just shy of 2 years ago.
I’m writing a screenplay.
I'm truly, honestly still working on this, I swear. In fact, I was so inspired by my surprising ability to actually finish something big and creative that I decided, once I get caught up on all the things I neglected over summer break, that I'll work on only this in any kid-free time I have each week until it's done. Like, 100% done. Okay, maybe just the first, rough draft. But I'm still catching up. My goal is to be caught up on all the miscellaneous domestic stuff by about Labor Day weekend.
I need more time to make art in my cozy little backyard studio.
I feel pretty good about where I am in my studio practice after this two-year recovery period. At some point last year I declared Heavenly a necessary failure that was successful in transitioning me back into a more consistent creative routine. I've since devoted most non-audio studio time to a newer body of work collectively titled dollhouse/100 days in the dollhouse/I see things that nobody else sees (I should probably pick one title at some point...). It mostly lives on Instagram at the moment, but I'm excited to see how this project evolves over the course of the next 9 months or so. Like a fetus gestating in my studio womb. (Too much?)
I’m starting a podcast (and/or support network) about(/for) other artists in offices.
Done! The first season is complete, with a trailer, 10 full-length interviews, 2 bonus episodes around formal art training, and 2 bonus episodes catching up with the artists who quit their day jobs after our initial interviews. I'm currently exploring next steps. I'd like to continue the interviews, with a season devoted to parent artists, and for any creative book editors/publishers who might be reading this, I really feel like this could be a book. An authored book with contributing interviews and such, right? So call me, okay?
I'm going to revive my boutique wedding invitation design business.
Uh, quite the opposite, actually, since I finally shuttered this business in December 2018, after years of limping along (the last time that income from my micro biz offset the minimal costs of running said biz was in January 2013, before my now 6 1/2 year old daughter was born). I'm still interested in design, just like I'll always be crafty and make stuff, even if I never have another art show. But running a business on Etsy just isn't what it was in the early days.
I’m working on a kids’ book based on the Cosmos series, starring a cuddly tardigrade as Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Zero progress made on this front. Also, do we still like Neil deGrasse Tyson? I'm not sure we do.
I’m planning to volunteer at the cat cafe until they just give me a job.
I no longer volunteer at Cat Town, spending all of my volunteer hours (about 4 a week, usually on one weekend afternoon) at Oakland Animal Services instead. I spend time in adoption as well as in the back of the shelter as part of both the kitten and cat "crews". If what I do as a volunteer there was a job, I'd apply in a heartbeat.
I’m compiling a “quit your day job” bibliography that will eventually be turned into a manuscript for a self-help book with the working title: “Little Boxes: How to get out of the office and into the studio...” (or something like that).
This has morphed a bit to focus on the podcast audience in particular, but it's still very much a work in progress.
I'm going to figure out how to make hand-stitched felt phone cases for Android, minus the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Nope. Nothing. I got nothin' on this one. Not sure I ever will. When I checked in with Laura Torres, the second artist I interviewed for the podcast, who'd quit her day job for a few months to focus on her creative practice, she wrote this in her email update and it really resonated with me in terms of all the random creative/crafty stuff I think I want to do in my spare time: "When I was working a day job, I always thought I wanted to do all this other stuff. But I am realizing some of that was a sort of escapist fantasy." Same. I can't say I miss making those phone cases, so why devote precious time on that now? (And if you'd like to hear more from my follow-up conversation with Laura, check out the bonus episode here.)
I’m developing recipes for a cookbook called “Sweet on Oakland: Cookies Inspired by Oakland Neighborhoods".
No cookbook (yet), but I did make a few new cookies over the past year, mainly because I donated a six-month cookie subscription to my kids' school's fundraiser last fall. I still need to post recipes for the last couple I completed. Shelving this project for now to make time for all of the above.
So what's new this year? Well, if my extra debut in Season 2 of The North Pole is not the breakout role I'm fully expecting it to be (I'm kidding, of course), find another day job, basically. In a perfect world, I'd finish my screenplay and find some sort of funding for the podcast while I'm reviewing 7-figure offers on the screenplay and making sure it actually gets made into a movie. But until then, I can't not work forever. So wish me luck, friends, and stay tuned.

Government is now mandating safer software
In the late 90's I was invited to attend an event sponsored by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). It was about how software sucked and was unsafe.
I saw the handwriting on the wall that someday the Government would start regulating software, because industry wasn't (Management sees it as a waste of time and more importantly Their money). I started my Software Safety site way back then and became a Certified Software Quality Engineer (CSQE from ASQ). I expected someday there would be a need for people, such as myself, that could review software for correctness, especially in the Embedded System area. It has taken far longer than I expect for the Government to start mandating safer software. That day has arrived.
This is about TicTok. However they make no distinction about 'connected software' from embedded devices such as Their '(d) end-point-device'.

"... In evaluating the risks of a connected software application, several factors should be considered. Consistent with the criteria established in Executive Order 13873, and in addition to the criteria set forth in implementing regulations, potential indicators of risk relating to connected software applications include: ownership, control, or management by persons that support a foreign adversary’s military, intelligence, or proliferation activities; use of the connected software application to conduct surveillance that enables espionage, including through a foreign adversary’s access to sensitive or confidential government or business information, or sensitive personal data; ownership, control, or management of connected software applications by persons subject to coercion or cooption by a foreign adversary; ownership, control, or management of connected software applications by persons involved in malicious cyber activities; a lack of thorough and reliable third-party auditing of connected software applications; the scope and sensitivity of the data collected; the number and sensitivity of the users of the connected software application; and the extent to which identified risks have been or can be addressed by independently verifiable measures. ...
(d) The Secretary of Commerce shall evaluate on a continuing basis transactions involving connected software applications that may pose an undue risk of sabotage or subversion of the design, integrity, manufacturing, production, distribution, installation, operation, or maintenance of information and communications technology or services in the United States; pose an undue risk of catastrophic effects on the security or resiliency of the critical infrastructure or digital economy of the United States; or otherwise pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons. ...
Sec. 3. Definitions. For purposes of this order: (a) the term “connected software application” means software, a software program, or a group of software programs, that is designed to be used on an end-point computing device and includes as an integral functionality, the ability to collect, process, or transmit data via the Internet; ..."

Honoring Elijah Cummings by not repeating a mistake made at the 2016 Democratic National Convention
I think it's fitting on the day that the great civil rights and congressional leader Elijah Cummings is laid to rest to take a look back at the disrespect he endured giving an opening speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Reflection on this cautionary tale is critical because failure to take what happened then into account at next year's convention could very well mean a continuation of the political nightmare we have been experiencing for the last three years.
The setup for this video is pretty simple. It was July 25, Day 1 of the 2016 convention. The opening speeches, as always, were intended to strike unifying themes, the kind of things upon which it was imagined all Democrats could agree.
Accordingly, Representative Cummings had prepared a speech that emphasized the the need to address environmental concerns, including global warming, while creating jobs and maintaining U.S. global economic competitiveness; the related need to provide American children with a first-class education to accomplish this economic goal; the need to protect women's access to reproductive health services; and the need to secure and extend the access to healthcare that had been made possible by President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
What's not to like, right?
Well, it wasn't easy going for Representative Cummings. From the get-go he had to contend with resounding shouts of "Stop TPP" from the crowd, in particular from a cadre of very vocal Bernie bros. The shouts were so loud that they made his remarks impossible to hear in the conventional hall itself. The audio feed from speaker's microphone is what saved Cumming's speech from being lost to history and internet streaming.
I recall this situation first hand. I had tuned in to listen to the opening day speeches because I knew that Stacey Abrams was scheduled to be making her first appearance on the national stage. I was already a big fan of Leader Abrams, as she is called, and wanted to witness what I believed would be a historical moment in her political career, one that a good year before the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial campaign that would make her a Democratic superstar. The shouting infiltrated her later appearance as well.
I remember sharing Representative Cumming's frustration as he tried to do his assigned duty by calling Democrats together to recognize, in spite of their differences, the many things that united them in common cause. And I shared in his disappointment that his important message was drowned out by those who had much more narrowly focused agendas.
Of course, it's hard to argue with true-believers of any stripe, those people who would see a promising party platform dashed to pieces unless it included a particular plank of their own insistence. Besides, as many thought at the time, the presidential election was in the bag, so why not take the opportunity to make a lot of noise about TPP, especially given how poorly the Democratic establishment had treated then upstart contender Bernie Sanders. What harm could it possibly cause?
One of the great ironies of this situation is that, as far as my informal survey would indicate, very few people now even remember what the initials TPP stand for. It's Trans-Pacific Partnership, by the way; a trade deal approved by President Obama and backed by candidate Hillary Clinton which was anathema to Democrats who saw it, understandably, as yet another big concession to multinational corporations to the disadvantage of American consumers and working people.
However important an issue TPP was at the time, it is recalled now as a vague skirmish in a fratricidal, intra-party conflict which preceded a war that Donald Trump and the Republicans would win three months later. I should add that shouts of Stop TPP will forever remind me of the unwarranted disrespect shown to the great Elijah Cummings, a man who had committed decades of his life to improving the lot of his party and the American people.
I hope that the salience of this video from July 2016 to our particular political moment is not lost. I fear that history could very well repeat itself as some notable, perhaps long-serving, well-respected Democratic leader like Elijah Cummings tries to offer a unifying message at the 2020 Democratic National convention. My genuine expectation is that person will drowned out with shouts of one sort or the other. My money is on "Medicare for all" as the deafening shout if, say, Joe Biden or Pete Buttigieg is the nominee apparent, but I imagine that there is a chant available for every variation of Democratic presidential primary outcome.
Whatever slogan the crowd is shouting in July 2020, what they won't be hearing - or allowing others in the hall to hear - is the list of things that the opening speakers are enumerating that unite us.
These will include, but not limited to: securing and extending current access to healthcare; reestablishing and defending women's right to reproductive health services; recognizing and safeguarding the rights of LGBTQ citizens in the workplace and in our society at large; restoring the EPA to former glory with a commitment to keeping our air and water clean; rejoining the Paris Climate Accords; returning our country to a progressive tax policy designed to narrow the growing chasm of wealth that separates the very rich from the middle class and the poor in this country; preserving our national wilderness for future generations to enjoy; and addressing and correcting the crimes being committed against people of color not only on our borders but also in our own communities. The list goes on.
It would seem to me that one of the most significant ways we could honor the memory the late Elijah Cummings is to remember this stain on the 2016 Democratic National Convention and vow to not let it happen again next summer. Whatever single issues inspire us, in the final analysis we need to keep focused on the constellation of concerns that bring us together. By insisting defiantly on any one thing, we risk - once again - the possibility of losing them all.

An FAQ: Why the House should move forward with the impeachment of Donald J. Trump
My mind is made up. I think that the U.S. House of Representatives should move forward with the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. Instead of writing a long argument which no one will read, I thought I would cast my position as a long and thinly-disguised FAQ. So here goes.
Q: Isn’t impeaching Trump by the House, absent the chance of conviction on the Senate, just playing into his hands? Won’t he use a failed impeachment to mobilize his base even more in 2020?
This kind of idle speculation is brought to you by the same folks who like to get Democrats to agonize over the “electability” of their competing presidential candidates. These are the very same pundits who opined in 2015 that Jeb Bush had a lock on the Republican presidential nomination and declared that nominating Trump in 2016 would lead to the GOP’s imminent downfall as well as their embarrassing rout in the general election.
The fact of the matter is that no one knows how impeachment of Trump by the House will play out. A lot depends on how the impeachment proceedings unfold and what the related investigations reveal. To make confident predictions about this process is an act of intellectual hubris. Also, I think it’s downright silly to imagine that Trump’s base could get anymore mobilized. They are full-time, Fox-News-fueled, nut-job mobilized as it is.
In addition, few commentators appear to be considering just how mobilized the Democrats might become as a result of Trump's impeachment. Sure, they're pretty pumped up coming off a very effective mobilization that led them to victory in last year’s midterm elections, but I don’t think they are anywhere near peaking. Besides, with two dozen candidates vying for the top of the Democratic ticket in 2020, the moral clarity that could result from a thorough investigation of the high crimes and misdemeanors of Donald Trump, may just what will be needed to unite a fractured party on the run-up to the general election.
There is one other component to my political analysis that recommends pursuing impeachment. And that is it will upset DJT to no end, day in and day out, for the better part of the next year. And, lest you think that I am motivated solely by wanting to see Trump suffer as some compensense for what he has put us all through these last couple of years, I point out that a fuming Trump has turned out to be a fumbling Trump.
Yes, what has gotten us to this critical point in this sad tale of presidential misdeeds, was not the original charter of the Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation itself, it was the way that original charter resulted in Donald Trump’s becoming so unhinged that he committed serial acts of obstruction of justice. (In sports parlance, I believe that these are called “forced errors.”) If you think Robert Mueller's investigation sent Donald Trump off the deep end, imagine what a months-long, 24/7 impeachment inquiry will do. Besides, if recent experience is any guide, Trump is likely to commit new crimes that can serve as more impeachment fodder should he somehow be reelected next year.
Q: Isn’t the sole purpose of impeachment by the House the real prospect of removing the president from office as a result of conviction in the Senate? Does it make any sense to forward articles of impeachment to the Senate when it's pretty much given, at least with the information we have in hand now, that Trump will be acquitted there?
Although impeachment by the House was viewed by the framers of the constitution as the first step in a two-step process of removing a corrupt president from office, there is nothing that speaks to that being its sole purpose. The House’s job isn’t to determine whether an impeachment will succeed, its job is to act as a guardian of the American democratic system of government by uncovering and documenting crimes and misdemeanors committed by the highest office holders in the land and forwarding those determinations to the Senate for their consideration in full public view.
My last qualification, in full public view, emphasizes a central purpose of the impeachment process. The House, using investigative powers granted only to it, lays out a case that the president has committed inexcusable wrongs. Its responsibility is to make that case convincingly, not only to clarify the situation to contemporary audiences, but also to set the historical record straight. Only the House can do this.
And, although it is the case with impeachment that the House proposes and the Senate disposes, I can think of no better way of documenting the moral and political failure of a craven Republican Senate than by having them dismiss the weight of the evidence brought before them by their colleagues in the lower chamber. Another way of saying this is that House is bound to proceed with a stillborn impeachment, if only to underscore the cowardice the Senate has demonstrated the last two years.
Q: Well, even if further congressional investigations of Donald Trump are a good idea, why do they have to be conducted under the rubric of impeachment? Isn’t it sufficient to have the various House committee investigations (e.g. Intelligence Committee, Oversight Committee) move forward? Won’t they eventually have the same effect as an impeachment investigation without all the hullabaloo?
In a more perfect world - one where the executive branch was responsive to congressional requests for information and complied with congressional subpoenas - the answers to these questions would be “yes.” But we don’t live in such a world. Far from it, we live in a world whether the President of the United States has vowed to refuse to cooperate with all investigations initiated by the U.S. House of Representatives.
And how these disputes between the legislative and executive branches are worked out in the federal courts will ultimately tell the tale of this corrupt administration. Depending on whether those investigations originate in, say, the House Ways and Means Committee which is seeking Donald Trump’s tax returns from the Department of the Treasury or from a committee tasked with investigating Donald Trump’s impeachment makes all the difference.
The reason behind this difference has to do with the authority that Congress relies on in pursuing its investigations. When committees like the Ways and Means Committee undertake an investigation it has to be done in order to make laws, in other words it has to have a legislative purpose. This is the legislative authority granted to the Congress by Article I, Section I of the constitution.
Not surprisingly, objections to such committee-initiated investigations often emanate from claims that the requested information serves no legislative purpose. This is exactly what has happened with the request by Ways and Means for Trump’s tax returns. Secretary of the Treasury Mnuchin contends that the request - even though it conforms with the letter of the law - is intended only to harass the president and has no legislative value. Although the committee has responded with identifiable legislative objectives associated with its request, the case will have to work its way through an appeals process which could take months or years to resolve. The same is true of other committee subpoenas, although they may thwarted by other legal claims, notably exemption due to executive privilege.
But things change qualitatively when the House investigation is being conducted as an impeachment inquiry. According to Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 of the Constitution:
“The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”
This power of impeachment exists outside of any legislative authority granted to the House in Article I, Section I and is so not subject to legislative-purpose scrutiny. The operative word in Clause 5 is “sole,” which indicates that the power of impeachment - and, by extension, necessary impeachment investigations - are exercised at the discretion of the House alone. Although this does not circumvent all federal court challenges raised by the executive branch to subpoenas issued as a result of an impeachment inquiry, it should expedite the consideration of any cases that arise as a result.
All said, the investigative power of a House impeachment inquiry, unlike that of legislative committee counterparts, is largely unconstrained. When you recall that the House is tasked with the impeachment of corrupt officials, the very people who would avoid investigation, this makes a lot of sense.
So here’s it is in a nutshell, my argument for the House moving forward with impeachment:
(1) Determining the political consequences of a failed impeachment of Donald Trump is a pundit's guessing game; the only thing I can say with any certainty is that the process will keep Trump rattled and making political mistakes for the foreseeable future, which I take to be a good thing.
(2) Even a stillborn impeachment will have the desired effect of launching an investigation which further documents the crimes of this president and of his administration for historical purposes; this record can be used to help lawmakers determine how to protect our democracy from such abuses in the future.
(3) Investigations by standing House committees are subject to challenges concerning the validity of their legislative purposes; a House impeachment inquiry, once constituted, will have much freer rein in subpoenaing essential information thus expediting a legal process that could otherwise take months or years.

It's all in the timing: a tale of two detonations
Athens Double-Barrelled Cannon
You might think that this double-barrelled cannon sitting next to City Hall in Athens, Georgia could be prop in some sort of misguided Civil War comedy. And, if you did, you wouldn’t be far from right. According to a plaque nearby, the cannon, the only one of its kind, was the brainchild of a Mr. John Gilleland, a private in the “Mitchell Thunderbolts,” an elite “home guard” unit of business and professional men ineligible because of age or disability for service in the Confederate army. Here I use the the words “brainchild” and “elite” quite loosely.
The double-barrel design was intended to fire simultaneously two balls connected by a chain which would “mow down the enemy somewhat as a scythe cuts wheat.” It failed for lack of a means of firing both barrels at the exact same instant. Apparently, “the lack of precise simultaneity caused uneven explosion of the propelling charges, which snapped the chain and gave each ball an erratic and unpredictable trajectory.”
My first reaction to reading this story of this unusual weapon was, “well, duh!” I ran the numbers in my head, first estimating that the velocity of a ball leaving the muzzle of a cannon was on the order of a a thousand feet per second. This meant that if the two detonations occurred even a millisecond apart, the balls would be separated by a foot when exiting the mouth of the cannon, and that separation would increase by an additional foot for each additional millisecond difference in the timing of the detonations. It’s no wonder the chain broke
It’s hard to imagine how 1860s technology, utilizing sputtering fuses and hand-packed gun power, could achieve such precise simultaneous detonations. It’s also hard for me to imagine how the “elite” men of the Mitchell Thunderbolts failed to do the simple arithmetic required to determine the feasibility of their ambitious Yankee-killer.
Oddly enough, this misadventure in weapons development brought to mind a more recent development in military technology that faced a timing challenge far more daunting than the one that faced the Mitchell Thunderbolts. Fast forward only eighty years, and a genuinely elite international team of scientists and engineers found themselves engaged in the development of the first atomic bombs as part of the American Manhattan Project.
Most popular discussion of the technological hurdles faced by J. Robert Oppenheimer and his crew based at Los Alamos centers on the difficulties in creating the necessary amounts of enriched uranium and plutonium to serve as the cores of the fission bombs they wanted to build. But there were other formidable problems, including some having to do with then as yet uninvented electronics.
In particular, design for one of the first two bombs, dubbed Fatman, employed a spherical plutonium core and required that it be compressed by an implosion that would squeeze that core to the critical density needed to initiate the sustained chain reaction that would result in the desired nuclear detonation. To accomplish this, the small plutonium core was nestled in a spherical structure whose outer layer was formed of facets of very powerful chemical explosives. For this arrangement to work, these facets — or lenses as they were called — had themselves to be detonated within a microsecond of each other.
Failure to achieve this kind of “precise simultaneity,” to borrow words from the Athens double-barreled cannon plaque, would lead to an “uneven explosion of the propelling charges.” In the case of Fatman, this would mean that the plutonium core would not be compressed uniformly to the required density and, as a result, the necessary chain reaction would be muted or, perhaps, not occur at all.
As we know from history, whether for good or ill is a matter still hotly disputed in some quarters, the Manhattan Project team succeeded in achieving the exquisite timing required for an implosion bomb.The 40,000–80,000 deaths in 1945 resulting from the detonation of such a device above the city of Nagasaki, Japan on August 9 of that year serve as lasting reminder of their tragic success.
In closing, it is interesting to note that the Athens-area Confederates failed attempt at constructing a weapon of enhanced destruction resulted in a public “object of curiosity.” More telling, as it says on the plaque, the double-barrelled cannon “performed sturdy service for many years in celebrating political victories.” Somehow the cruel madness of the Jim Crow South saw this ill-conceived cannon as something to be proud of. Go figure.
I can only hope that one day our own more successful weapons of mass destruction will be stripped on their nuclear cores and their husks distributed to city halls far and wide as objects of curiosity where they can perform sturdy service celebrating the victory of those fighting for complete nuclear disarmament.

Trump running out the clock on Congressional subpoenas: why the Supreme Court is of little help to resolve it anytime soon
As I have discussed elsewhere, one constructive side-effect of the Donald Trump administration and its abundance of deliberately orchestrated constitutional crises has been to get me to reflect on what that document says and how it works to resolve or, more aptly, to fail to resolve the aforementioned crises.
The latest of these challenges to the constitutional order has to do with the president's decision to not comply with several subpoenas issued by the U.S. House of Representatives. The first of note results from the House Ways and Means Committee demanding Trump's recent tax returns from Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin. The second, emerging from investigations by the House Intelligence Committee, requires Attorney General William Barr to turn over the unredacted Mueller report. There are others.
To the extent that these disputes between the executive and the legislative branches constitute constitutional crises, a question begs be asked, "why can't these be resolved quickly with a Supreme Court decision?" Instead, we are faced with months-, perhaps years-long, litigation in the federal courts before any related case arrives at the SCOTUS doorstep. How did such an inefficient approach to a much-touted system of checks and balances come to be standard operation procedure for the federal government?
The first level of explanation lies in Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution which defines the "original jurisdiction" of the Supreme Court. Original jurisdiction, meaning the kind of cases that can go directly to the court, are pretty restricted. They are mostly limited to seldom employed disputes between representatives of foreign governments (e.g. ambassadors) and the United States and between the states themselves, the latter representing the lion's share of these original cases.
But wait, you might ask scratching your heads - as I did - why aren't disputes between the court's "co-equal" branches of government, namely between Congress and the president, included in cases that could go directly to the Supreme Court? The answer has to do with a deeper reading of Article III and the thinking that went into constructing it. It also has to do with a lie we continue to tell ourselves about the visionary system of checks and balances crafted by our constitutional founding fathers.
The lie emanates from the fact that, in many respects, the judicial branch of our government wasn't construed at first as being a co-equal branch of government at all. Indeed, Alexander Hamilton spends a fair amount of ink in Federalist Paper 81 assuring opponents of the yet-to-be-ratified constitution that the Supreme Court proposed in it would possess limited in power. He asserts that its original jurisdiction would be circumscribed, as I described above. In addition, Hamilton even goes so far as to say "there is not a syllable in the plan under consideration which DIRECTLY empowers the national courts to construe the laws according to the spirit of the Constitution." This latter claim may come as a shock to modern ears, as it should.
We tend to forget that Hamilton was making his case for the Supreme Court in response to anti-federalists who didn't want to see the creation of a separate judicial branch of government at all. They felt, as many others did at the time, that the legislature was the primary branch of government since it was most representative of the will of the people. (That's why it's positioned front and center as Article I in the constitution.) They did not want its power usurped by a bench of unelected judges, and they were fearful that these judges would overturn congressional acts at their discretion. Across the pond, Britain seemed to function just fine with a high court residing in the House of Lords, part of their legislature. Hamilton's task was to assuage opponents concerns about the proposed Supreme Court.
Needless to say, a lot has changed since Hamilton penned Federalist 81. As far as the Supreme Court goes, it only took a handful of years and Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the bedrock case of Marbury v. Madison to establish the doctrine of judicial review and so elevate the court toward the co-equal status it enjoys today. Sadly, in the intervening years, the primacy of the legislative branch - the central feature of government as imagined by the framers - has suffered depredations by the self-aggrandizing imperial presidency that we are stuck with today.
So, even though its currency has risen over the past couple of centuries, the Supreme Court is pretty much saddled with the restrictions of its original jurisdiction. This means that enforcement of congressional subpoenas directed at the administration will have to wind their way through an appeals process that begins in the federal courts. It's possible that these cases will be expedited, but in all likelihood, thanks to the reluctance on the part of the framers to position the judiciary to resolve disputes between Congress and the president, it looks like Donald Trump will be able to run out the clock on matters of accountability that are critical to our democratic form of government. So it goes.

The better angels of Robert Mueller's nature
As I scoured the Mueller Report the past couple of days for yet more evidence of presidential crimes, I found myself in the position of uncovering evidence of an unexpected glimmer of human virtue. And what struck me at first as just an interesting nuance to a complicated legal discussion now appears to me to be the pivot around which the morality tale of the entire story of the Trump administration turns.
To put things in context, we have been aware since the days of Watergate that the legal question of indicting a sitting president — and by that I mean bringing formal criminal charges — is fraught. In fact, according to Justice Department guidelines, such an indictment isn’t permitted because it would undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions. Robert Mueller, a by-the-book kind of prosecutor if there ever was one, hewed to this established policy while formulating the results of his almost two-year long investigation into Russian meddling in our 2016 presidential election.
This tale of non-indictability is the beginning and end of the story in most of the news coverage of why Mueller chose not to charge President Trump with obstruction of justice for his interference with an ongoing federal investigation. But there is more to it than that.
Some coverage does go further and points out that Robert Mueller takes the opportunity in his report to refute the theory — championed by Attorney General William Barr and others — that it is indeed legally impossible for the president of the United States to obstruct justice. Good for him.
Barr’s expansive reading of executive power ignores the role that “corrupt intent” plays in determining the criminality of a presidential act. If such a twisted doctrine were upheld, it would permit, say, the president to trade get-out-of-jail pardons for cash on the barrelhead. Such a reading of the constitution, one which places any president above the law, is little more than a prescription for tyranny.
But Robert Mueller goes beyond simply adhering to Justice Department regulations concerning indictments and beyond refuting Barr’s dangerous constitutional interpretation of executive power in his treatment of the question of obstruction of justice. He could have, if had wanted to, included an opinion that the president had committed obstruction of justice even while he refrained from issuing a criminal indictment. This threading-the-needle is the path that many Trump opponents had hoped for. It was certainly at the top of my list.
So why did Mueller choose to hedge his bets and take this ambiguous path? The answer in one word is “fairness.” As the Mueller explains on page 2 of volume 2 of his report: “Fairness concerns counseled against potentially reaching that judgment when no charges can be brought.”
And why would it be unfair to make claims of criminal behavior absent the ability to bring formal charges? Mueller continues,
“[t]he ordinary means for an individual to respond to an accusation is through a speedy and public trial, with all the procedural protections that surround a criminal case. An individual who believes he was wrongly accused can use that process to seek to clear his name. In contrast, a prosecutor’s judgment that crimes were committed, but that no charges will be brought, affords no such adversarial opportunity for public name-clearing before an impartial adjudicator. “
In other words, in this analysis, although the protection of the president from criminal indictment serves the constitutional purpose of allowing the executive branch to operate free from the inevitable legal entanglement that it would imply, it is, at least in Mueller’s mind, a personal disadvantage for the president in these circumstances.
Take a moment and let that sink in: Robert Mueller believes that freedom from criminal indictment can, at times, be a personal liability since it makes it impossible to defends one’s reputation against damaging charges in open court. In Mueller’s opinion, charging the president in the report, but not through due legal process, would subvert the president’s right to his clear his name of accusations leveled against him.
So, ultimately, the Special Counsel’s decision not to declare the president’s efforts at obstruction as crimes had to do with Mueller’s commitment to fairplay and to the ability of someone under legal scrutiny to defend his reputation. This was not a conclusion I expected.
There are two glaring ironies at play here. The first has to do with the fact that Robert Mueller appears to be more dedicated to Donald Trump’s ability to protect his good name than the president himself, at least in practice. It’s hard to think of any living politician more disreputable or anyone holding a position of public office who has conducted himself with such unabashed disregard to standards of moral rectitude.
The second irony in Mueller’s taking up Trump’s cause in this way is even more disturbing. While Mueller inhabits a civil world of due process in which the right of suspected criminals to defend their reputations must be preserved, Donald Trump lives in a thuggish world of brute power where adversaries are to be spared no quarter and dispatched by any means necessary, including nefarious ones.
The implication here is startling: Donald Trump has spent the better part of the last 23 months smearing the reputation of Robert Mueller with insults and baseless lies, the very Robert Mueller who, it turns out, was busy making sure that Donald Trump would not have his reputation sullied unfairly. If there is a better example of turning the other cheek in American political history, it escapes me.
All this said, I’m not exactly sure how I feel about Mueller’s decision not to present clear claims of obstruction of justice in his report even in spite of his inability to indict Trump. Such declarations could have gone a long way toward helping to clarify the ongoing public debate. In addition, a forthright statement of Trump’s criminality could have provided additional impetus to the Congressional investigations underway that could have helped propel them beyond mere impeachment of the president in the House to the possibility of his conviction in the Senate.
It may very well be that Robert Mueller’s commitment to fairplay has made it more difficult to remove Donald Trump from office before his term is up. But, in any event, it has illuminated for me the central moral question presented by the Trump administration I alluded to at the start.
We are all witnesses to an unfolding battle which pits an age-old, corrupt form of politics rooted in the exercise of raw power, as exemplified by Donald Trump, against an enlightened political system committed to justice and fairplay, as exemplified by Robert Mueller.
Although I believe that Mueller’s decision to err on the side of fairness may prove to be a short-term tactical mistake, in the long run I feel that it will be seen as a turning point for distinguishing the mobster politics of Donald Trump from the legitimate exercise of political power based in law. This may very well be what, in Lincoln’s words, the better angels of our nature demand. It appears that Robert Mueller may have heard their call.

A new study finds that climate change may be causing birds to transform their physical shapes, with the resulting changes making them more likely to become prey for predators.
Researchers examined more than 1,500 nesting pairs of African wild parrots and red-winged blackbirds, confirming previous studies. The new work found that bird populations have increased in the region in recent decades, which apparently has been good for them. But their reproductive success has dropped off, and the so-called “organshield syndrome” that occurs when birds are so decimated by disease and trauma that they lose their familiar upper body shape – a torso with a more robust top half, for example – suggests a growing vulnerability to predators.
“It becomes harder for them to defend themselves and to feed themselves,” said Matt Bailey, the lead author of the study and a professor of biology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
The research was published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Bailey and his co-authors studied climate and body shape data from monitored populations of birds across the Sahelian Africa region and evaluated the prevalence of plumage modification. They compared the number of bird deaths with the frequency of changes in plumage. While their data set was large, it was limited – they only took advantage of the birds’ nesting season. And they had no data on how many birds are killed in the wild (often by hunting and eating poisoned crops).
Previous studies had found only a relative few bird-eating bacteria do not have a good meal on birds – meaning that the birds as a whole are more likely to be killed by predatory birds. But larger plums and many other plants grown in the area are now larger than they used to be. These changes, combined with the prevalence of bird-eating bacteria, give some birds more access to meat – which means more birds are vulnerable to predators.
“I’ve tried to be honest about the results,” Bailey said.
The focus on greenhouse gas emissions is misplaced
“They are not huge effects, but they are detrimental to survival,” he said.
Small changes in plumage can actually be important. Sperm bladders are important in artificial reproductive displays in which birds use their bodies to attract mates. The mammals that prey on birds include numerous species of leopards, leopard leeches and snakes.
“That plumage is being adapted because of predators,” Bailey said.
Risk for birds increases with warming climates, he said, because rising temperatures cause diseases to spread to bigger birds, while requiring more energy to fight the disease.
This is not the first work to demonstrate the dangers presented by climate change on birds. In a 2017 study, researchers looked at 19 species of migratory birds around the world. They found that bird species are on average 17 percent less active in warmer temperatures, which allows predators to more easily hunt them.
A recent study found that migrating birds around the world face a 25 percent increased risk of starvation from changes in climate, according to biologist Mark Osterberg, whose work was published in journal Conservation Letters in September.
Scientists have long known about the dangers that some migrating birds face on their return journey. These include birds that include the black-backed woodpecker and the bald eagle, which have a small “adopt-a-bird” program in order to provide habitats for particular species. Black-backed woodpeckers are particularly vulnerable to predation and mortality because they cannot fly as long, which makes them more difficult to spot.
But the study published Monday found bird changes are driving permanent changes in plums – specifically, the absence of a robust upper half.

About Winesburg, Ohio
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time
Before Raymond Carver, John Cheever, and Richard Ford, there was Sherwood Anderson, who, with Winesburg, Ohio, charted a new direction in American fiction–evoking with lyrical simplicity quiet moments of epiphany in the lives of ordinary men and women. In a bed, elevated so that he can peer out the window, an old writer contemplates the fluttering of his heart and considers, as if viewing a pageant, the inhabitants of a small midwestern town. Their stories are about loneliness and alienation, passion and virginity, wealth and poverty, thrift and profligacy, carelessness and abandon. “Nothing quite like it has ever been done in America,” wrote H. L. Mencken. “It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own.”
With Commentary by Sherwood Anderson, Rebecca West, and Hart Crane
Published in 1919, Winesburg, Ohio is Sherwood Anderson’s masterpiece, a work in which he achieved the goal to which he believed all true writers should aspire: to see and feel “all of life within.” In a perfectly imagined world, an archetypal small American town, he reveals the hidden passions that turn ordinary lives into unforgettable ones. Unified by the recurring presence of young George Willard, and played out against the backdrop of Winesburg, Anderson’s loosely connected chapters, or stories, coalesce into a powerful novel.
In such tales as “Hands,” the portrayal of a rural berry picker still haunted by the accusations of homosexuality that ended his teaching career, Anderson’s vision is as acute today as it was over eighty-five years ago. His intuitive ability to home in on examples of timeless, human conflicts—a workingman deciding if he should marry the woman who is to bear his child, an unhappy housewife who seeks love from the town’s doctor, an unmarried high school teacher sexually attracted to a pupil—makes this book not only immensely readable but also deeply meaningful. An important influence on Faulkner, Hemingway, and others who were drawn to Anderson’s innovative format and psychological insights, Winesburg, Ohio deserves a place among the front ranks of our nation’s finest literary achievements.
“Here [is] a new order of short story,” said H.L. Mencken when Winesburg, Ohio was published in 1919. ”It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own.” Indeed, Sherwood Anderson’s timeless cycle of loosely connected tales–in which a young reporter named George Willard probes the hopes, dreams, and fears of the solitary people in a small Midwestern town at the turn of the century–embraced a new frankness and realism that ushered American literature into the modern age.
“There are moments in American life to which Anderson gave not only the first but the final expression,” wrote Malcolm Cowley. ”Winesburg, Ohio is far from the pessimistic or morbidly sexual work it was once attacked for being. Instead it is a work of love, an attempt to break down the walls of loneliness, and, in its own fashion, a celebration of small-town life in the lost days of good will and innocence.”

"When he calls himself a ‘poor scribbler’ don’t believe him. He is not a poor scribbler . . . he is a very great writer."–Ernest Hemingway
"Winesburg, Ohio, when it first appeared, kept me up a whole night in a steady crescendo of emotion."–Hart Crane
"As a rule, first books show more bravado than anything else, unless it be tediousness. But there is neither of these qualities in Winesburg, Ohio. . . . These people live and breathe: they are beautiful."–E. M. Forster
"Winesburg, Ohio is an extraordinarily good book. But it is not fiction. It is poetry."–Rebecca West

The 80´s decade ushered a profound sense of nationalism, born of the newfound and finally total independence from colonial rule and foreign domination. But for the Church, this was also a challenging decade because of the rise of Freemasonry and the looming consequences of a growing move for the separation of the Church and State.
A primary concern of the Bishops during this period was education, specifically religious instruction in public schools, which was strongly opposed by the Freemasons and other anti-Catholic groups. Their position and sentiments on this issue are well articulated in the documents of this decade, specifically in the Joint Statement Concerning Optional Religious Instruction in Public Schools, followed immediately after by the Pastoral Letter on Religious Instruction in Public Schools, a Joint Pastoral Letter on Catholic Education, and Statement on Adherence to Religion.
This was also the decade when the Philippine Hierarchy issued a definitive statement on Freemasonry, and issued their first document focusing on the political process, specifically the Joint Statement on the Electoral Rights of Catholics. There were to be other documents on elections during this decade -- the Statement on Elections and Joint Statement on the Eve of the National Elections of 1957.

Date – 26th May 2023
Venue – RITCS, Brussels, belgium
Film schools have a long tradition in Europe tied to educational models of the conservatoires, which are, for the most part, still distinct from the wider academia. The focus on the elements of craft and art making results in an orientation that was, and still continues to be, practical, placing the master/disciple relationship at the heart of the educational process. In the last decades, these institutions have been under a great deal of pressure. The reforms of the Bologna process had far-reaching ramifications for these institutions by replacing some training regimes of flexible length with ones that could accommodate the ordered cycle of degrees proposed by the reform. Further faced with the need for European Standards compliance, namely those articulated in the “Dublin descriptors” of 2004 and more recently in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), many of these institutions started transforming themselves by engaging in a process of “academicisation”. This resulted in great tension between the original nature and focus of these institutions on professional-level training and the much wider mission to which academic institutions are nowadays ascribed. The result was that many film schools went through a period of turmoil that has greatly hindered their ability to build alliances or experiment with structural changes. Throughout this period, these institutions and many other programmes that have emerged inside universities based on similar educational models, have continued to pursue progressive pedagogical approaches supported by their special heritage, their pragmatic response to individual working methods, and their close connections to students and their work. Yet, many impediments to these HEI activities remain, like legal or institutional constraints that disallow the introduction of the subject as a self-sufficient element of a doctoral degree, or concerns over financial viability due to the costly nature of teaching, resulting in pressure for greater massification and a decrease in the intensive use of expensive state-of-the-art technologies. With the Brussels Leadership symposium, GEECT wishes to be at the forefront of the discussion on future and engaging forms of cooperation between schools. The symposium will include three areas of focus that will at the centre of three round tables to be held during the one-day event:
Associations of HEI: benchmarks with associations in other sectors – how do they operate? Benefits to members?
Pedagogical cooperation: what new challenges? I.e. Ai in higher education
EU instruments for cooperation: the ETGT and the European Universities

Andrew carnegie and the rise of big business ebook Rating: 7,7/10 879 reviews
Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist who played a major role in the development of the American steel industry in the late 19th century. He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1835 and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1848.
Carnegie began his career as a telegrapher and quickly moved up the ranks to become a division superintendent for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He used this position to invest in various businesses, including iron and oil, and eventually became a leading figure in the steel industry.
In the 1870s, Carnegie established the Carnegie Steel Company, which eventually became the largest steel producer in the world. He revolutionized the industry by introducing new technologies such as the Bessemer process, which allowed for the mass production of steel. Carnegie's business practices were also innovative, as he implemented cost-cutting measures and efficient management techniques that allowed him to sell steel at a lower price than his competitors.
Carnegie's success in the steel industry made him one of the wealthiest men in the world, and he used his wealth to fund various philanthropic endeavors. He believed in the "Gospel of Wealth," which stated that the rich had a moral obligation to use their wealth for the betterment of society. Carnegie donated millions of dollars to fund libraries, universities, and cultural institutions around the world.
Despite his philanthropic efforts, Carnegie's business practices were not without controversy. He was known for his tough negotiating tactics and his willingness to use force to break strikes. He also faced criticism for his treatment of his workers, as he opposed unions and did not provide them with the same benefits as his white-collar employees.
Despite these criticisms, Carnegie's impact on the steel industry and his philanthropic legacy have had a lasting impact. He is remembered as a symbol of the rise of big business in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his business practices and philanthropy continue to be studied and debated by historians and scholars today.

Conflicts of interest and behavioral ethics in the news: 031012
More on the Goldman Sachs/El Paso case: El Paso’s own lawyers had warned of conflicts, but the company rejected the advice (would love to know why) and a good overall analysis of what the case means: “Goldman’s brazenness in this deal is nothing short of breathtaking. It is just another example of why Goldman’s reputation has been dented as questions have circled about the firm’s loyalty to its clients over itself. Other firms have conflicts, but rarely do you hear about them being so incestuous. A Morgan Stanley banker involved in the deal wrote in an e-mail at the time: ‘This is GS at its most shameless.’ What’s even more surprising about Goldman’s role working for El Paso is that it came just six months after the firm issued a new set of guidelines by its ‘business standards committee.’ The firm had just agreed to a $550 million settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations that it knowingly sold its clients financial instruments meant to fail.” Note: El Paso’s shareholders did approve the sale to Kinder Morgan this week (no surprise- in the absence of a competing bid), but will now seek to show that the transaction was, in the words of the court, “tainted by disloyalty,” entitling them to damages.
From the world of medicine: “the majority of U.S. medical schools have implemented strong conflict-of-interest policies this year, according to the 2011-2012 American Medical Student Association (AMSA) PharmFree Scorecard. Released today, the Scorecard finds that 102 of 152 medical schools (67%) now receive a grade of A or B for their policies governing pharmaceutical industry interaction with medical school faculty and students, compared with 79 last year.” And, conflictofinterest.net has a good roundup of recent stories about conflicts in the realms of science and medicine (lots of interesting stuff here).
And what ethicists can learn from scientists: a story about two experiments showing that a) individuals are much more likely to make ethical choices when they are not rushed and b) individuals are much more likely to make ethical choices when they are reminded right before the decision about ethical standards. In our ongoing behavioral ethics series, we’ve written about similar findings – and what they could mean for C&E programs (specifically having to do, in the case of the first result, with risk assessment; and in the case of the second, with the importance of “just-in-time” ethics communications). Hopefully, these most recent findings will draw further attention to the ways in which behavioral ethics can improve C&E programs.

The three prime directives for open source development
While Open Source licensing creates a legal mechanism for developers to collaboratively develop software source code and distribute it, there are many software projects that fail to function as an open source project—in other words, they fail to attract users, and they fail to attract developers.
The three Prime Directives for Open Source Software Engineering provide a simple means to assess whether or not a software project has the potential to successfully function in the open source community. Satisfying the three prime directives does not guarantee that an open source community will grow up around the project, but failure to satisfy them will make it significantly more difficult for such a community to emerge.
1. The system successfully accomplishes a useful task.
The system does not have to include every bell and whistle to accomplish a useful task. Indeed, the art of incremental development is to determine the smallest useful increment of functionality and implement that first.
In most cases, careful thought, ample user interaction, and efficient design and implementation can lead to a first public release with some useful functionality within weeks after project inception.
A system developer cannot verify that the system achieves PD #1. Only an external user can.
2. An external user can successfully install and use the system.
The system must include sufficient user-level documentation to support download, installation, and use of the system without significant interaction with a system developer.
Typically, but not always, the system must also be distributed in an executable form so that external users do not have to compile the system themselves.
3. An external developer can successfully understand and enhance the system.
The system must include developer-level documentation providing insights into the design and development of the system that enable an external developer to understand and enhance it.
A system developer cannot verify that the system achieves PD #3.

Safety company Pyroban® confirms it is possible for cranes, telehandlers and other plant equipment to be converted for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Pyroban says there are various options to ensure the staff and site remains safe from explosion, no matter how briefly the plant equipment is on site.
“Most companies with potentially explosive atmospheres have addressed the explosion protection requirements for equipment used regularly on site such as forklift trucks,” says Matthew Shirkie, Global Sales Manager at Pyroban. “However, during temporary works where cranes or other plant is rented on a short-term basis, risks are often overlooked, which has to be addressed through the supply chain.”
“There is sometimes the misconception from plant hire companies that it is not possible to apply explosion protection to a crane or telehandler, or that it will take too long to do so. This is simply not the case,” Matthew continues, explaining that some safety conscious hire companies have already introduced explosion protection systems to their equipment very effectively.
“We have found that some plant hire companies have used their explosion protection units to win new business, particularly in refineries, large chemical facilities and other manufacturing and logistics operations,” he says.
In a Zone 2 area, where a release of flammable gas or vapour is possible but not likely during normal operation, it is a typical requirement for equipment with Category 3G explosion protection to be used. Mobile cranes, telehandlers and an array of other plant equipment can undergo a full ATEX 2014/34/EU compliant conversion for safe operation in Zone 2 by Pyroban.
“This is equally important whether the equipment is owned outright and onsite on a permanent basis or if the equipment has been hired and will only be used for a short time, for example during building work or maintenance,” he says.
Pyroban’s most popular solution for Zone 2 environments is system6000™ which combines gas detection with other explosion protection methods such as restricted breathing enclosures and surface temperature monitoring to ensure the engine, motors, brakes, electrics and other components remain below the auto-ignition temperatures of flammable materials. Gas detection continuously monitors the direct environment around protected equipment and automatically shuts it down where necessary, eliminating the risk of an explosion.
This unique system is available with either a pellistor or infrared based gas detection system, meaning it is suitable for use in a variety of different applications. It can be used with diesel or electric equipment and most types and brands of crane, telehandler, tractor or other plant.
“Plant equipment used in so-called ‘safe’ areas located adjacent to Zone 2 environments can also still carry a risk of ignition,” says Matthew, suggesting that safety devices such as Gascheka™ from Pyroban could be supplied and fitted quickly for use in these areas for added peace of mind.
The Gascheka system ensures that in the event of gas or vapour release and subsequent detection, an audible and visual warning alerts the equipment operator and if necessary, the system safely shuts off the equipment. Gascheka can be added simply to any brand of LPG, diesel or electric equipment.
Matthew continues “Plant hire companies are often surprised to learn that this system can be fitted locally within a matter of hours. They can also transfer the system to other units in their fleet as needed.”
“It is not necessary for hire companies to deliver a crane or telehandler – a potential source of explosion risk – for use in a Zone 2 environment or adjacent area without adequate protection,” he concludes.

Ten years later and the economic effects of 9/11 still stunning
It has been a decade since the devastation of 9/11 rocked our world. For many this past decade has been a horrible one filled with losses of one type or another including loss of lives and personal finances. For others it has been a hugely profitable one. No matter what your personal experiences have been, one thing is confirmed: For the past 10 years the markets have not been stagnant.
For some reason I had the notion that 9/11 marked the beginning of America’s slippery financial slope downwards. Of course I blamed the terrorists for that. But after some research, I realized that 2001 didn’t start the year out in good stead. The dot-com bubble in 2000, for instance, wiped up 50-75 percent of all of the fantastic growth we’d seen in the 1990s. By 2001, however, our economy was worsening and unemployment and businesses were failing. All of which resulted in a recession. A recession that began in March 2001 ended eight months later in November and often gets overshadowed because of the memories of 9/11.
Today, with over 40 million people receiving food stamps and our employment rate at 9.1 percent (likely higher if you ask me) here are a few bits and pieces about how the employment rate and the DJIA have changed in the last 10 years.
First unemployment.
We all know that people need to work to keep America and the markets humming. To that end, here’s a look at how the unemployment figures have changed since 2001.
-In September of 2001, our unemployment rate stood at 5 percent. In that same month one year later it had grown to 5.7 percent. By September 2003, the unemployment rate had moved up to 6.10 percent.
In the following years, September unemployment figures ranged from a low of 4.5 percent in 2006 to a high of 9.8 percent five years later in 2009.
As for the market, here’s a review of some of the DJIA’s highs and lows since 9/11/01:
-On the Friday before 9/11, the DJIA closed at 9,605.85– off over15 percent since May 21st of that year.
-On September 17,2001, the day the markets reopened, the DJIA closed at 8,920.7. That figure reflected the largest dollar loss in the history of the DJIA, at that time..
-By September 21st, the DJIA had lost all of the gains it had made since July 3, 1997.
-October 9, 2007 was the first time that the DJIA closed over 14,100. That close represented a gain of 94 percent since the Dow’s closing low five years earlier of 6,878 on October 9, 2002.
-On September 9, 2011 the DJIA closed at 10.992.13. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3295 | {"url": "http://diansfundfreebies.com/other/090911.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "diansfundfreebies.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:46:06Z", "digest": "sha1:3IAHU5NHSYHW3TSBCVJMVE3UUVKEWHCB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2534, 2534.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2534, 2732.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2534, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2534, 20.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2534, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2534, 195.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2534, 0.38461538]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2534, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2534, 0.0245]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2534, 0.026]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2534, 0.0225]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2534, 0.02097902]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2534, 0.26223776]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2534, 0.5]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2534, 4.40528634]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2534, 4.89894149]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2534, 454.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 64, 0.0], [64, 454, 1.0], [454, 1081, 1.0], [1081, 1316, 1.0], [1316, 1336, 1.0], [1336, 1498, 1.0], [1498, 1697, 1.0], [1697, 1844, 1.0], [1844, 1931, 0.0], [1931, 2036, 1.0], [2036, 2206, 1.0], [2206, 2293, 1.0], [2293, 2483, 1.0], [2483, 2534, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 64, 0.0], [64, 454, 0.0], [454, 1081, 0.0], [1081, 1316, 0.0], [1316, 1336, 0.0], [1336, 1498, 0.0], [1498, 1697, 0.0], [1697, 1844, 0.0], [1844, 1931, 0.0], [1931, 2036, 0.0], [2036, 2206, 0.0], [2206, 2293, 0.0], [2293, 2483, 0.0], [2483, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 64, 11.0], [64, 454, 70.0], [454, 1081, 107.0], [1081, 1316, 44.0], [1316, 1336, 2.0], [1336, 1498, 30.0], [1498, 1697, 36.0], [1697, 1844, 27.0], [1844, 1931, 17.0], [1931, 2036, 19.0], [2036, 2206, 29.0], [2206, 2293, 18.0], [2293, 2483, 35.0], [2483, 2534, 9.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 64, 0.0483871], [64, 454, 0.01308901], [454, 1081, 0.04918033], [1081, 1316, 0.02620087], [1316, 1336, 0.0], [1336, 1498, 0.02531646], [1498, 1697, 0.07368421], [1697, 1844, 0.08450704], [1844, 1931, 0.06097561], [1931, 2036, 0.13265306], [2036, 2206, 0.06918239], [2206, 2293, 0.08536585], [2293, 2483, 0.11538462], [2483, 2534, 0.26086957]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 64, 0.0], [64, 454, 0.0], [454, 1081, 0.0], [1081, 1316, 0.0], [1316, 1336, 0.0], [1336, 1498, 0.0], [1498, 1697, 0.0], [1697, 1844, 0.0], [1844, 1931, 0.0], [1931, 2036, 0.0], [2036, 2206, 0.0], [2206, 2293, 0.0], [2293, 2483, 0.0], [2483, 2534, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 64, 0.015625], [64, 454, 0.01282051], [454, 1081, 0.02073365], [1081, 1316, 0.0212766], [1316, 1336, 0.05], [1336, 1498, 0.01851852], [1498, 1697, 0.02512563], [1697, 1844, 0.01360544], [1844, 1931, 0.05747126], [1931, 2036, 0.06666667], [2036, 2206, 0.06470588], [2206, 2293, 0.08045977], [2293, 2483, 0.04210526], [2483, 2534, 0.11764706]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2534, 0.5476476]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2534, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2534, 0.16845191]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2534, -202.12713998]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2534, 12.8397069]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2534, -63.0064025]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2534, 35.0]]} |

Supreme Court decision re planning of wind turbine project, Çeşme, Turkey
This decision of the Supreme Court is one of the most important judicial verdicts ruled in Turkey regarding wind turbine projects.
Environment lawyer Mehmet Horuş
One of the most fundamental issues regarding ABK Çeşme RES project is that it is being established on a “1st degree natural protected area”, abbreviated as SIT. At present, because wind turbine project cases are something new to the judicial system, the courts have not been able to establish a clear approach in this respect. Of course until now, the courts have also been affected by these projects being presented as "renewables". However, according to the laws in Turkey, the establishment of wind turbine projects should never be allowed on the 1st degree natural SIT areas. Due to this, The Ministry of Environment and Urbanization issued a resolution N° 98, with this regulation titled "RES Resolution Decision in Natural SIT Areas", a 300-meter distance condition has been brought in to the criteria. It may be argued what makes the distance of 300 meters, but with this principle, the Ministry of the Environment has accepted the fact that wind turbine projects have an impact on the environment. Thus, a scientific fact was legally accepted, although partially, as well. The pre-acceptance of the impact of wind turbine projects on natural environment as “ZERO” has now been refuted.
In the development plans prepared for ABK Çeşme RES, the effects of RES wind turbines had been acknowledged as "ZERO", and the effects on the environment were limited only to the impact of the turbine platform areas during the construction.
The Supreme Court/the Highest Court has finally ruled that this approach is unacceptable. Under the laws of the Turkish Republic, it has been concluded that scientifically and legally it is wrong to make "spotted" and "fragmented" plans. The verdict stated that the evaluation and assessment as a whole region should be made and that the development and construction plans prepared for ABK Çeşme RES should be canceled.
This decision of the Supreme Court is one of the most important judicial verdicts ruled in Turkey regarding wind turbine projects. What is even more important is that all court cases against ABK RES regarding expropriation, license, EIA, not required that had been on halt until this decision of the Supreme Court now will be ruled. Henceforward, all administrative permits for this project have to be cancelled.

Meeting on the state order for Russian-made aircraft
Vladimir Putin held a meeting on including Russian-made civil and transport aircraft in the consolidated state order until 2020.
Ulyanovsk Region
During the meeting, a contract for the Defence Ministry's purchase of the Il-76MD-90A transport aircraft was signed in the President's presence.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues, friends,
I have every reason to thank and congratulate the chief designer, plant director and the entire team who worked hard to achieve this stage in the creation of a new Russian transport aircraft. Today we witnessed the final phase of the project.
As you know, Ulyanovsk Aviation Plant was one of the youngest enterprises in the Soviet time: it had barely began operating in the late 1980s — early 1990s when it closed down again. Attempts were made to organise the production of buses and some other things, and in 2003 the plant employed 1,500 people, most of whom were engaged mainly in protecting the industrial facilities and the territory.
It was around 2005 when we focused our efforts on the plant and the question arose if it was possible to create here a new Russian transport aircraft on the basis of IL-76. Long negotiations ensued with our friends and partners in Uzbekistan since the aircraft’s final assembly was done at the Tashkent plant in the Soviet period, but unfortunately, we did not reach agreement for economic reasons and made the final decision to launch production at the Ulyanovsk plant.
”A key challenge is the thorough modernisation of the entire aviation industry, both civil and military which includes personnel training, renewing testing and manufacturing infrastructure, developing the full chain of auxiliary production facilities to manufacture hardware components and prospective materials, including composites.“
Practical work began in 2006 but it took us six years to get the new plane up in the air. Once again, I congratulate all of you, both the veteran workers, and the plant already has such employees, and young professionals who joined the company in recent years.
What we saw here today, the event we all witnessed was more than just the flight of a newly restored aircraft. Over 70% of IL-76 has been modernised, and the result is essentially a new aircraft with a qualitatively higher performance, reliability, range, cost effectiveness and cargo capacity, which has increased by 20 tons.
I want to emphasise that there is a truly great demand for IL-476. We started negotiations six years ago with our partners in some Asian countries, including China. I think they were ready to buy 38 – up to 50 aircraft. I am sure that there will be great demand for this aircraft in our country and abroad. The plant will get a solid list of orders, which is why we have invited not only Government members here today, not only technology manufacturers, but also all potential customers.
I am confident that our foreign partners will show an interest in this aircraft. Our key customers will include the Russian Armed Forces, state agencies and local aircraft companies. We agreed that a contract is to be signed today on the purchase of 39 aircraft by the Defence Ministry for a total of almost 140 billion rubles. I want to note that this is the largest order in the Russian aviation industry in all of its short history.
This is the first new aircraft the Russian aviation industry has produced in the past 21 years. I congratulate you once again and ask you to sign the contract I have just mentioned.
Signing of contract.
Vladimir Putin: [Defence Minister] Mr Serdyukov demonstrated a good example to all potential clients. I hope our colleagues present here will also follow this example. I will address the subject in more detail.
The demonstration flight of a new Il-76MD-90A transport aircraft
Of course, we have some major, serious work ahead to fulfil the signed contract, and I expect it will be duly and timely implemented, therefore particular attention must be given to resolving all issues concerning the launch of the serial production of the new aircraft which requires staff and production facilities to be ready for such production.
For our part, we will provide the necessary assistance to the Finance Ministry and the Defence Ministry. Instructions will be given to ensure issue of state guarantees to the enterprise for undertaking serial deliveries of the Il-476 airplane.
No doubt, a key challenge is the thorough modernisation of the entire aviation industry, both civil and military which includes personnel training, renewing testing and manufacturing infrastructure, developing the full chain of auxiliary production facilities to manufacture hardware components and prospective materials, including composites.
This is why it is so important for the enormous resources we are channelling toward the armament programme and the development of the military-industrial complex in Russia to have a cumulative, systemic effect, allowing us to create a truly global, competitive aviation industry. You all know quite well that the competition in this sector, in global aviation, is very fierce.
”Russia must certainly maintain a strong aviation sector overall. This is required to guarantee our security and our technological sovereignty. In equipping our Armed Forces and other state agencies, we will rely primarily on Russian manufacturers.“
But so far, there is in fact no one aside from ourselves and our American partners who is producing such aircraft. The Europeans are planning to build an aircraft that seems to be essentially based on the An-70, but its loadbearing capacity will be 20 tonnes less. Still, they have not produced it yet; they are just planning to do so. And so, there is currently no one aside from Russia and the US building such planes.
Russia must certainly maintain a strong aviation sector overall. This is required to guarantee our security and our technological sovereignty. I repeat: in equipping our Armed Forces and other state agencies, we will rely primarily on Russian manufacturers.
This summer, we had detailed discussions on issues of organising deliveries of new military aviation technology to the army and navy. Today, we will talk about designing the state order for civil and specialised aircraft which will meet the needs of the Defence Ministry, Emergencies Ministry, Interior Ministry, the FSB, and other agencies and ministries. Such aircraft include transport, medical and fire-fighting aviation, airplanes that are used in emergencies for cargo transportation, humanitarian assistance, transporting wounded and sick individuals.
Currently, a significant proportion of the existing fleet of these airplanes is outdated morally, technologically and physically. By 2018, overall, we will have to retire some 80 aircraft. So now, we are to carefully plan the programme for renewing our air fleet, with an eye toward the future: what airplanes, of what class and in what quantity the country will need.
We should put together a common – I want to stress this – a common, consolidated state procurement order for Russian-made civil and transportation aircraft. And we must take this approach, because we fully understand that if we do not have such a consolidated order, it will be practically impossible for companies to launch production to the fullest extent; it will be impossible to ever build things serially – the financial factors won’t allow it. They require a stable order for several years. It is precisely that approach which will allow for companies to be engaged in rhythmic, efficient work and have the opportunity to plan long-term technological development programmes and cut costs.
