Enquête de Deloitte sur la diversité des conseils d'administration
Il existe une solide unanimité sur l'importance d'accroître la diversité dans les conseils d'administration.
Mike Fucci, président du conseil de Deloitte, nous présente une excellente infographie* sur le sujet.
Voici un sommaire des thèmes traités dans son article, paru dans Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance.
(1) Perception de la diversité dans les conseils d'administration
Les CA sont d'accord avec la nécessité d'une grande diversité
Les leaders perçoivent clairement les bienfaits de la diversité
Cependant, il y a peu d'administrateurs qui voient le manque de diversité comme un problème majeur !
(2) Recrutement et pratiques d'évaluation
Les CA s'en remettent trop souvent aux critères traditionnels de sélection des administrateurs (grande expérience de management ou de PDG)
Environ la moitié des organisations qui ont des plans de relève n'ont pas de processus de recrutement comportant des habiletés liées à la diversité
Presque toutes les organisations sont conscientes que les politiques concernant la limitation du nombre de mandats et de l'âge sont nécessaires pour assurer le renouvellement du CA
Cependant, les pratiques utilisées semblent limiter la diversité
(3) Nouveau modèle de gouvernance — la mixtocratie
Atteindre un équilibre entre l'expérience souhaitée et la diversité requise
Nécessité de revoir la notion de risque
Faire la promotion du modèle de diversité
Revoir systématiquement la composition du conseil
Redynamiser la planification de la relève
Avoir des objectifs clairs de diversité
L'infographie présentée parle d'elle-même. Bonne lecture !
2017 Board Diversity Survey
Part 1. Perceptions of board diversity
The findings in this section show that the survey found nearly universal agreement on the need for diverse skill sets and perspectives on the board, and on the potential benefits of diversity.
Boards agree on the need for diversity
Note, however, that this finding does not reveal where diversity of skill sets and perspectives are needed. Thus, the skills and perspectives could be those of, say, financial or operating or information
technology executives. Such backgrounds would represent diversity of skills and perspectives, but not the demographic diversity that the term "diversity" usually implies.
Demographic diversity remains an essential goal in that gender and racial differences are key determinates of a person's experiences, attitudes, frame of reference, and point of view.
As the next finding reveals, however, respondents do not see demographic diversity as enough.
Board members see diversity as going beyond basic demographics
Nine in ten respondents agree that gender and racial diversity alone does not produce the diversity required for an organization to be innovative or disruptive. This may be surprising, given that gender and racial differences are generally seen as contributing to diverse perspectives. Yet those contributions may be tempered if recruiting and selection methods skew toward candidates with the backgrounds and experiences of white males with executive experience.
More to the point, it would be unfortunate if a focus on diversity of skills and perspectives were to undermine or cloud the focus on gender and racial diversity. In fact, typical definitions of board diversity include a demographic component. Deloitte's 2016 Board Practices Report found that 53 percent of large-cap and 45 percent of mid-cap organizations disclose gender data on their board's diversity; the respective numbers for racial diversity are, far lower, however: 18 percent and 9 percent. [1]
So, the deeper questions may be these: How does the board go about defining diversity? Does its definition include gender and racial factors? Does it also include factors such as skills, experiences, and perspectives? Will the board's practices enable it to achieve diversity along these various lines?
Before turning to practices, we consider the potential benefits of diversity.
Leaders overwhelmingly perceive benefits in diversity
Taken at face value, these answers indicate that boards believe in diversity, however they go about defining it, for business reasons and not just for its own sake or reasons of social responsibility.
…Yet relatively few see a lack of diversity as a top problem
The foregoing findings show that leaders believe that boards need greater diversity of skills and perspectives, that demographic diversity alone may not produce that diversity, and that diversity is seen as beneficial in managing innovation, disruption, and business performance. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, few respondents cited a lack of diversity as a top problem.
So, while 95 percent of respondents agree that their board needs to seek out more candidates with diverse skills and perspectives, far smaller percentages cite lack of diversity as among the top problems they face in candidate recruitment or selection.
Does this reflect contentment with current board composition and acceptance of the status quo?
Perhaps, or perhaps not.
However, we can say that many board recruitment and selection practices remain very traditional.
Part 2. Recruitment and evaluation practices
Board recruitment practices have arguably not kept pace with the desire and need for greater board diversity.
Boards still rely on traditional candidate criteria
In addition, 81 percent of respondents would expect multiple board members to see a candidate without executive experience as unqualified to serve on the board.
The low percentage of women candidates (16 percent) is striking, as is that of racial minorities (19 percent). However, that may be a logical outcome of a process favoring selecting candidates with board experience—who historically have tended to be white and male.
So, in the recruitment process, board members are often seeking people who tend to be like themselves—and like management. Such a process may help to reinforce a lack of diversity in perspectives and experiences, as well as (in most companies) in gender and race.
Relying on resumes, which reflect organizational and educational experience, helps to reinforce traditional patterns of board composition.
About half of organizations have processes focused on diverse skills and disruptive views
Given all their other responsibilities, many boards understandably rely on existing recruitment tools and processes. They use resumes, their networks, and executive recruiters—all of which tend to generate results very similar to past results.
However, our current disruptive environment likely calls for more creative approaches to reaching diverse candidates. Some organizations have taken steps to address these needs.
Our survey did not assess the nature or extent of the processes for recruiting candidates with diverse skills or perspectives, indicating an area for further investigation.
Policies affecting board refreshment
Policies, as well as processes, can affect board composition. Low turnover on boards can not only hinder movement toward greater diversity but also lead to myopic views of operations or impaired ability to oversee evolving strategies and risks.
While board members expressed agreement with term and age limits, the latter are far more common. Our separate 2016 Board Practices Report found that 81 percent of large-cap and 74 percent of mid-cap companies have age limits, but only 5 percent and 6 percent, respectively, have term limits. [2] This evidences a large gap between agreement with term limits as an idea and term limits as a practice.
Current practices tend to limit diversity
Deloitte's 2016 Board Practices Report also found that 84 percent of large-cap and 90 percent of mid-cap organizations most often rely on current directors' recommendations of candidates. [3] That same study found that 68 percent and 79 percent, respectively, use a recruiting firm when needed, and that 62 percent and 79 percent use a board skills matrix or similar tool.
Relying on current directors' recommendations will generally produce candidates much like those directors. Recruiting firms can be valuable, but tend to adopt the client's view of diversity. Tools such as board competency matrices generally do not account for an organization's strategy, nor do they provide a very nuanced view of individual board members' experiences and capabilities. In other words, bringing people with diverse skills, perspectives, and experiences to the board—as well as women and racial and ethnic minorities—requires more robust processes than those currently used by most boards.
Part 3. A path forward—The Mixtocracy Model
The term meritocracy describes organizational advancement based upon merit—talents and accomplishments—and aims to combat the nepotism and cronyism that traditionally permeated many businesses. However, too often meritocracy results in mirrortocracy in which all directors bring similar perspectives and approaches to governance, risk management, and other board responsibilities.
A board differs from a position, such as chief executive officer or chief financial officer, in that it is a collection of individuals. A board is a team and, like any other team, it requires people who can fulfill specific roles, contribute different skills and views, and work together to achieve certain goals.
Thus, a board can include nontraditional members who will be balanced out by more traditional ones. Many existing recruiting methods do too little to achieve true diversity. The prevalence of those criteria and methods can repeatedly send boards back to the same talent pool, even in the case of women and minority candidates. For example, Deloitte's 2016 Board Diversity Census shows that female and black directors are far more likely than white male directors to hold multiple Fortune 500 board seats. [4]
Therefore, organizations should consider institutionalizing a succession planning and recruitment process that more closely aligns to their ideal board composition and diversity goals. Here are three ways to potentially do that:
Look beyond "the tried and true." Even when boards account for gender and race, current practices may tend to source candidates with similar views. Succession plans should create seats for those who are truly different, for example someone with no board experience but a strong cybersecurity background or someone who more closely mirrors the customer base.
Take a truly analytical approach. Developing the optimal mix on the board calls for considering risks, opportunities, and markets, as well as customers, employees, and other stakeholders. A data-driven analytics tool that assesses management's strategies, the board's needs, and desired director attributes can help define the optimal mix in light of those factors.
Use more sophisticated criteria. Look beyond resumes and check-the-box approaches to recruiting women, minorities, and those with the right title. Surface-level diversity will not necessarily generate varying perspectives and innovative responses to disruption. Deep inquiry into a candidate's outlook, experience, and fit can take the board beyond standard criteria, while prompting the board to more fully consider women and minority candidates—that is, to not see them mainly as women and minority candidates.
To construct and maintain a board that can meet evolving governance, advisory, and risk oversight needs, leaders should also consider the following steps.
Rethink risk
Digitalization continues to disrupt the business landscape. The ability to not only respond to disruption, but to proactively disrupt, has commonly become a must. Yet boards have historically focused on loss prevention rather than value creation. Every board should ask itself who best can help in ascertaining that management is taking the right risks to innovate and win in the marketplace. The more diversity of thought, perspectives, experiences, and skills a board collectively possesses, the better it can oversee moves into riskier territory in an informed and useful way—and to assist management in making bold decisions that are likely to pay off.
Elevate diversity
Current definitions of board diversity tend to focus on at-birth traits, such as gender and race. While such diversity is essential, it may promote a check-the-box approach to gender and racial diversity. Boards that include those traits and also enrich them by considering differences gained through employment paths, industry experiences, educational, artistic, and cultural endeavors, international living, and government, military, and other service will more likely achieve a true mix of perspectives
and capabilities.
They may also develop a more holistic vision of gender and racial diversity. After all, woman and minority board members do not want to be "women and minority board members"—they want to be board members. In other words, this approach should aim to generate a fuller view of candidates and board members, as well as more diversity of skills and perspectives and gender and race.
Retool board composition
Current tools for achieving an optimal mix of directors can generally be classified as simplistic, generic, and outdated. They often help in organizing information, but provide little to no support in identifying strategic needs and aligning a board's skills, perspectives, and experiences with those needs.
Successful board composition typically demands analysis of data on organizational strategies, customer demographics, industry disruption, and market trends to identify gaps and opportunities. A board should consider not only individual member's profiles but also assess the board as one working body to ascertain that complementary characteristics and capabilities are in place or can be put in place.
A tool to support this analysis should be the initial input into the succession planning and recruitment process. It should also be used in ongoing assessments to help ensure that the board equals a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Revitalize succession planning
The process of filling an open board position may be seen as similar to that for recruiting C-suite candidates. But that would ignore the fact that the board is a collection of individuals rather than a single role. An approach geared to creating a mixtocracy can strengthen the board by combining individual differences in a deliberate manner. Differing gender and ethnic backgrounds as well as skills, perspectives, and experiences can make for more rigorous, far-reaching, and thought-provoking discussions, inquiries, and challenges. This can enable the board to provide a more effective counterbalance to management as well as better support in areas such as innovation, disruption, and assessments of strategies, decisions, and underlying assumptions.
In plans for board succession, the uniqueness of thought an individual will bring to the table can be as important as his or her more ostensible characteristics and accomplishments.
Toward greater board diversity
Given its responsibility to provide guidance on strategy, oversight of risk, governance of practices, and protection of shareholders' interests, the board arguably has a greater need for diversity than the C-suite, where diversity also enriches management. The path forward remains long, but it is becoming increasing clear as boards continue to work toward achieving greater diversity on multiple fronts.

*The 2017 board diversity survey was conducted in spring 2017 among 300 board members and C-suite executives at U.S. companies with at least $50 million in annual revenue and at least 1,000 employees. Conducted by Wakefield Research via an email invitation and online questionnaire, the survey sought to ascertain respondents' perspectives on board diversity and their organizations' criteria and practices for recruiting and selecting board members. The margin of error for this study is +/- 5.7 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

Creating A Better You is a project that I created from several basic questions of self exploration. This guide was created to gently walk you through the deep dark questions that many of us forget to take the time to ask ourselves. The benefit from the self exploration is an increased feeling of self esteem.
How much love do you have for yourself? Developing Self Love explores the theory that you have to love yourself in order to love someone else.
Confidence is vital for achieving success in any situation, but it is especially important if you want to become an internet sensation. Anyone who has experienced self confidence issues would benefit from checking out our CONFIDENCE selections here. The best place to start for someone looking for the confidence to network with others or build confidence in business settings is Confidence and Social Supremacy. It is a must have for anyone who needs a boost of confidence. | {

Free Daily Tarotscope — Aug 17, 2015 — The Hierophant
The Hierophant
Today could see you taking a more serious look at what you believe in and how you communicate those beliefs to others.
The Hierophant card speaks of pursuing knowledge, studying tradition, reflecting on Universal laws and principles and deciding where we stand.
The Hierophant is referred to as the Pope in some decks. But it's not only about religion. It's about carrying the wisdom of the ancients forward — as a means of gaining a greater understanding for yourself and using it to guide others.
The Hierophant in this card is in deep thought and reflection. He's not only in search of deeper knowledge, he's prepared to impart it to others. He's dressed in ceremonial garb, leading the way for those who follow. One hand holds a staff with a glowing orb at it's tip and the other holds a bag of coins.
You could be immersing yourself in your studies today or making plans to embark on a spiritual journey. You may also be called upon present your ideas to others — either formally or informally.
If you find yourself having to defend your views, do it in a calm, practical manner. This card is not about being radical or fanatical. It's about building on the conventions of those who've come before you and presenting your ideas with clarity and precision.
The card used for today's tarotscope — The Hierophant — comes from the adorable Rabbit Tarot by talented artist by Nakisha Elsje VanderHoeven.
She is the creator of four different animal-related decks, all available through her site's BlueDogRose Etsy storefront.
This deck is available in both full (hand) size and mini-size. The companion book is also available for purchase.
Please visit like her Facebook fan page, and be sure to follow her on Twitter and add her to Pinterest.
Nakisha also has a blog that she updates in between projects.
Used by generous permission. Thank you Nakisha.

£50m patient-centred mental health unit opens in Sunderland
Design & Build | Mental Health | Cognitive
Development completes final stage of £60m investment in modernising services south of the River Tyne
A new £50m recovery-centred mental health campus has opened in Sunderland.
Designed by Medical Architecture and constructed by Laing O'Rourke, Hopewood Park was commissioned by Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust and is located in Ryhope.
Hopewood Park has been designed with care to support service users and it will be a real pleasure to see how this new building and its staff will help people achieve their goals on their journey to recovery
The development, on the site of the former Cherry Knowle Hospital, completes the final stage of a £60m investment in modernising services south of the River Tyne and follows the completion of a new dementia care centre in Sunderland last November.
Hopewood Park is a 122-bed inpatient facility for adults, providing psychiatric intensive care (PICU), acute assessment and treatment, complex care and stepped care services. The new campus provides a safe recovery-centred environment with generous and relaxing places to appreciate views to the North Sea coast and surrounding landscape. Urgent care wards with safe enclosed gardens are paired for efficient staffing and these, along with the PICU, share common therapy, amenity and support in a prominent civic-scale facility, the Barton Centre, at the heart of the development.
The project sets new benchmarks for quality, therapeutic environment and long-term value in modern mental health accommodation.
Patients have access to therapeutic outdoor spaces
Inspired by the place and the name of the area, Ryhope, which in ancient language describes a riven valley cutting sharply through the landscape to the sea; the concept is reflected in the development of the architectural form, place making, landscape and wayfinding strategy.
The design concept is formulated, simulated and realised through the use of advanced multi-disciplinary 3D building information modelling (BIM), with links to components from the construction supply chain.
Good design adds immense value to NHS mental health services and to local regeneration
James Duncan, the trust's deputy chief executive, said: "Hopewood Park has been designed with care to support service users and it will be a real pleasure to see how this new building and its staff will help people achieve their goals on their journey to recovery."
Paul Yeomans, project director for Medical Architecture, added: "We get huge satisfaction in working with service users and staff through years of engagement, design development, sleepless nights and inevitable compromise. Hopewood Park illustrates how worthwhile this effort is. Good design adds immense value to NHS mental health services and to local regeneration."

Characters Unite: Take the USA Network Pledge Against Discrimination
I don't have much tolerance for intolerance, prejudice, and discrimination of any kind, which is why I am happy to feature Characters Unite. In a world where children are bullied to death and people fear and hate others because of race, religion, sexual orientation, or other differences, we all need to do our part to help create more tolerance and acceptance among people.
The Characters Unite campaign is a movement and pledge created by the USA Network. When you sign the Characters Unite pledge, you are making a commitment to combat intolerance, prejudice, discrimination and hate. You pledge to promote greater acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect. For every pledge made this month, USA Network will donate $1 to its Children's Defense Fund, National Council of Women's Organization, and other non-profit partners. (continues…)
In Honor of 9/11: Something to Remember While We Never Forget
(photo courtesy of Think Progress)
Islamic Fundamentalism is to Islam as ________________ is to Christianity.
The KKK.
If you're a fan of West Wing, then you may remember the thought-provoking episode that aired shortly after the 9/11 attacks (portion embedded below my signature). In that particular episode, the character Josh Lyman explains to students that it is wrong to judge an entire religion based on a handful of lunatics that use their religion as an excuse for inhumane acts. We don't think of the KKK as Christians and we don't attribute the KKK's actions to the Church. So why would we attribute the horrific acts of Islamic fundamentalists to the entire Muslim religion? As a shell-shocked nation searching for blame, we needed to learn that lesson. Nine years later, many are still struggling with that task.
Between the debate over acceptable locations for a Muslim Community Center, physical violence against Muslims, and the burning of Quran's, the persecution against Muslims seems to have only worsened.
When does it end?
Americans need to be careful to make sure that the freedom of which we boast is a freedom consonant with American values, and not an America premised on euphemism, bumper sticker mentalities, and flat-out hypocrisy. Americans cannot claim to believe in and stand for American values — values that stand for pluralism, equality, tolerance, and coexistence — while demonizing an entire religious group. We claim to be better than repressive governments that are intolerant of difference. So let's either be better or abandon the pretense.
Don't fly the flag of tolerance while extolling bigotry. Don't claim to believe in freedom of religion while protesting the construction of an Islamic Community Center. If we're really for freedom of religion, then any street in this country should be able to peacefully house Churches, Synagogues, and Mosques. (continues…)
Gay Rights: Why Mamas Need To Take A Stand Against Inequality
As a woman, I often think about the time before my birth and what my female ancestors had to endure.
For centuries, women have had to fight to establish equality in a very paternalistic society. Women had to band together to form the Suffrage Movement. Women fought for equality during the Civil Rights Movement and created the Feminist Movement when society still treated them like second-class citizens. In the last 100 years, women have been incredibly successful in overturning anti-discriminatory laws and creating new laws to protect our rights. There is no doubt that the time we live in now is markedly different than the era of our mothers and grandmothers.
As women:
We lived without voting rights until 1920.
We lived without FDA-approved birth-control until 1960.
We lived without discrimination laws and equal opportunity in the workplace until 1964.
We lived with sex-segregated employment ads until 1968.
We lived without the Equal Pay Act until 1970.
We lived without Title IX until 1972.
We lived without reproductive rights until 1973.
We lived without the Pregnancy Discrimination Ban until 1978.
We lived without the Lily Ledbetter Act until 2009.
From our mothers to our great-great-great grandmothers, women have worked hard to ensure a better future for their daughters, and the women of today continue to take a stand against injustice and inequality. As women, we have lived with discrimination and intolerance. We have lived as second-class citizens. We have lived without laws to protect ourselves and our rights. So, I ask my mama-sisters, why aren't we working harder to ensure a better future for our children and grandchildren? Why aren't we doing more to stand up to injustice and inequality? (continues…)
My name is Aimee. I'm a feminist housewife, unemployed therapist, mother of the Monkey (with another en route) and a fur-baby, and wife to the Dude.
This a mom blog. And it's not a mom blog.
I write about parenting (the fun, the crazy, and the terrifying), and discuss events, products, and recipes that parents may find useful. But I also delve into a wide-range of sensitive and sometimes controversial social topics. From motherhood musings to rant-filled opinions on societal and global issues - this ain't yo mama's blog.

Obama widening missile strikes inside Pak
: Report21 Feb 2009, 1107 hrs IST, IANS
Source: Times of India
NEW YORK: The Obama administration has expanded the covert war run by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) inside Pakistan by attacking amilitant network seeking to topple the Pakistani government, the New York Times reported on Saturday.Two missile strikes over the last week, on training camps run by Baitullah Mehsud, represent a broadening of the American campaign inside Pakistan, which has been largely carried out by drone aircraft, the influential US daily said in a report from Washington.
Under President George Bush, the US frequently attacked militants from al-Qaida and the Taliban involved in cross-border attacks into Afghanistan, but had stopped short of raids aimed at Mehsud and his followers, who have played less of a direct role in attacks on American troops.The strikes are another sign that President Obama is continuing, and in some cases extending, the Bush administration policy of using American spy agencies against terrorism suspects in Pakistan, as he had promised to do during his presidential campaign, the Times said.
Mehsud was identified early last year by both American and Pakistani officials as the man who had orchestrated the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister and wife of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari.
Bush included Mehsud's name in a classified list of militant leaders whom the CIA and American commandos were authorised to capture or kill. The Times said it was unclear why the Obama administration decided to carry out the attacks, which American and Pakistani officials said occurred last Saturday and again on Monday, hitting camps run by Mehsud's network.The Saturday strike was aimed specifically at Mehsud, but he was not killed, the Times said citing Pakistani and American officials.
The Monday strike, officials cited by the Times said, was aimed at a camp run by Hakeem Ullah Mehsud, a top aide to the militant.By striking at the Mehsud network, the US may be seeking to demonstrate to Zardari that the new administration is willing to go after the insurgents of greatest concern to the Pakistani leader. But American officials may also be prompted by growing concern that the militant attacks are increasingly putting the civilian government of Pakistan, a nation with nuclear weapons, at risk, the daily said.The strikes came after a visit to Islamabad last week by Richard C. Holbrooke, the American envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan.

opinion: A just war on terror —Rafia Zakaria
Source: Dailytimes
A just war on terror can only be a war that abandons force and invests faith in the idea that if people are no longer bombed in the name of protecting America, they will themselves join the just fight against terror?
On January 2, 2009, his first day in office, Barack Obama ordered the shutting down of Guantanamo Bay within a year. This pivotal move was long expected by his supporters and marked the beginning of what has been touted as the forthcoming theme of Obama's nascent presidency: regaining America's moral stature in the world.
By all accounts, shutting down Guantanamo seems to be a calculated symbolic first move, putting a dramatic and visible end to the kind of flippant rejection of the rule of law so closely associated with the Bush-Cheney Administration.
In addition to the Guantanamo order, another executive order forbade the use of torture in the interrogation of terror suspects in an effort to show, in the president's own words, "that we are able to follow the core standards of conduct not solely when it is easy but also when it is hard."
However, the closure of Guantanamo and the official cessation of the use of torture, welcome as it is, puts into focus what will be the Obama administration's most challenging task in the days ahead: redefining the war on terror as a just war. Inherent in this project is reconfiguring not simply the means and rules by which America conducts warfare but also taking a second look at the strategic goals that Obama has not questioned in his campaign.
One notable example of these is the oft-repeated American aim of catching and imprisoning Osama bin Laden, something Obama has continually recounted during his campaign speeches. The issue of bin Laden's pursuit and the concomitant portrayal of the Afghan war as the "right" and "just" war by Obama raises the question: can an unmanned drone attack on Pakistani territory in pursuit of this goal, and the killing of innocent civilians that routinely accompanies such attacks, be considered a "just" act equally capable of the moral high ground America achieves to recapture?
The answer from the Pakistani side is no, but will Americans be tempted to believe that all sins of the Bush Administration have been instantly absolved with the closure of Guantanamo and the forbidding of torture?
If they do indulge in such moral compartmentalisation where constitutional flouting in America is considered impermissible but killing civilians abroad is not, then little will have changed in the moral calculus of evaluating America. Americans may indeed believe themselves redeemed by eliminating the visible symbol of Guantanamo, but the rest of the world, most prominently the Muslim world towards which Obama has extended a conciliatory hand, will shake its head with the same disgust and disappointment that has marked its relationship with America in the past eight years.
The juxtaposition of the symbol of Guantanamo and the use of military power against civilians illustrates how both are ultimately symbols of imperial overreach that cannot be reconciled with moral leadership. It also brings forth another crucial dynamic of the war on terror: the gaping economic chasm existing between the countries where it is conceptualised and the countries where it is waged.
Take for example the following scenario: if a future terrorist attack on the United States were traced to a small village on the outskirts of London, how would the United States respond? Would a surgical strike that eliminates the village be an option?
The scenario sounds ludicrous since no one would even consider such a route, but the underlying logic it exposes is integral to understanding the moral dimensions of a war that is waged in a certain way when it involves poor countries and another where rich industrialised nations are involved.
Imagine further if such a strike on an English village is permitted and an unmanned drone kills members of a wedding party. It is undoubted, of course, that the world would be up in arms with moral outrage; there would be no doubt in anyone's mind that this was an unjust act, despite the presence of possible terrorists.
The purpose of drawing attention to such a hypothetical scenario is not to argue for its plausibility or probability but to emphasise how the Obama's administration's strategic military goals may clash with their stated moral goals. This often unaddressed aspect of the war on terror has successfully been used by Islamist groups to cast the struggle as one between the world's haves and its have-nots. A war where powerful nations can gloss over the sovereignty of poor ones and the lives of the cab drivers in Gaza cannot be equivalent to those of the ones in New York City is thus as much a moral quagmire as Guantanamo and the use of torture.
Recasting the war on terror requires re-evaluating the use of any military options against civilian populations. Support for groups like Al Qaeda and the Tehreek-e Taliban in the Muslim world persists because they are unfailingly able to portray themselves as the "little guy", the weapon-less, ragtag warriors of faith fighting a military behemoth armed with drones and F-16s. The populations where they have taken root are all identify with being the "little guy", and when a bomb falls on their village, the memory of burned CD shops, destroyed schools and public floggings fades under the deafening onslaught of an enemy that can kill without sending a single soldier.
In other words, the inherent destruction promised by military operations cannot possibly salvage moral standing for a superpower with much blood on its hands.
Undoubtedly, the impending closure of Guantanamo shows that the Obama administration is invested in turning the tide. The precept that insists that the Guantanamo inmates could be held indefinitely, tortured and refused a fair trial is the same doctrine that says civilian populations in areas where Al Qaeda may be hiding are mere collateral damage.
Accepting this fundamental similarity and abandoning both as epithets of the imperial overreach that has so maligned America in the Bush years requires elevating moral leadership not simply as a rhetorical theme but as a priority superseding the nation's reliance on brute military force. A just war on terror, thus, can only be a war that abandons force and invests faith in the idea that if people are no longer bombed in the name of protecting America, they will themselves join the just fight against terror.

The Afghan-Pakistan militant nexus
Seven years after 9/11, the US has declared the Afghan-Pakistan border region to be the new frontline in its war on terror. Use the map to see how militants operate on either side of the border. (Text: M Ilyas Khan)
Helmand, Chaghai
Kabul's writ has never run strong in the remote southern plains of Helmand province. Further south, across the border in Pakistan, lies the equally remote Noshki-Chaghai region of Balochistan province.
Since 9/11, this region has been in turmoil. In the Baramcha area on the Afghan side of the border, the Taleban have a major base. The chief commander is Mansoor Dadullah. From there they control militant activities as far afield as Nimroz and Farah provinces in the west, Oruzgan in the north and parts of Kandahar province in the east. They also link up with groups based in the Waziristan region of Pakistan.
The Helmand Taleban, unlike comrades elsewhere in Afghanistan, have been able to capture territory and hold it, mostly in the southern parts of the province. They constantly threaten traffic on the highway that connects Kandahar with Herat.
Kandahar, Quetta
Kandahar has the symbolic importance of being the spiritual centre of the Taleban movement and also the place of its origin. The supreme Taleban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, made the city his headquarters when the Taleban came to power in 1996. Top al-Qaeda leaders, including Osama Bin Laden, preferred it to the country's political capital, Kabul.

As such, the control of Kandahar province is a matter of great prestige. The first suicide attacks in Afghanistan took place in Kandahar in 2005-06, and were linked to al-Qaeda. Kandahar has seen some high-profile jailbreaks and assassination bids, including one on President Karzai.
The Afghan government has prevented the Taleban from seizing control of any significant district centre or town. International forces have large bases in the airport area as well as at the former residence of Mullah Omar in the western suburbs of Kandahar city.
But the Taleban have a strong presence in the countryside, especially in southern and eastern areas along the border with Pakistan. Afghan and Western officials have in the past said the Taleban have used Quetta, the capital of the Pakistan province of Balochistan, as a major hideout as well as other Pakistani towns along the Kandahar border.
Mullah Omar is probably in hiding in Kandahar or Helmand.
Zabul, Toba Kakar
Afghanistan's Zabul province lies to the north of Kandahar, along the Toba Kakar mountain range that separates it from the Pakistani districts of Killa Saifullah and Killa Abdullah. The mountans are remote, and have been largely quiet except for a couple of occasions when Pakistani security forces scoured them for al-Qaeda suspects.
Reports from Afghanistan say militants use the area in special circumstances. In early 2002, Taleban militants fleeing US forces in Paktia and Paktika provinces took a detour through South Waziristan to re-enter Afghanistan via Zabul. Occasionally, Taleban insurgents use the Toba Kakar passes when infiltration through South Waziristan is difficult due to intensified vigilance by Pakistani and Afghan border guards.
Zabul provides access to the Afghan provinces of Ghazni, Oruzgan and Kandahar. There are few Afghan or foreign forces in the area, except on the highway that connects Qalat, the capital of Zabul, to Kandahar in the south-west, and Ghazni and Kabul in the north.
South Waziristan, Paktika
South Waziristan, a tribal district in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), is the first significant sanctuary Islamic militants carved for themselves outside Afghanistan after 9/11. Militants driven by US troops from the Tora Bora region of Nangarhar province in late 2001, and later from the Shahikot mountains of Paktia in early 2002, poured into the main town, Wana, in their hundreds. They included Arabs, Central Asians, Chechens, Uighur Chinese, Afghans and Pakistanis. Some moved on to urban centres in Punjab and Sindh provinces. Others slipped back into Afghanistan or headed west to Quetta and onwards to Iran. But most stayed back and fought the Pakistani army during 2004-05.
The eastern half of South Waziristan is inhabited by the Mehsud tribe and the main militant commander here is Baitullah Mehsud. The western half, along the border with Afghanistan, is Ahmedzai Wazir territory where the chief commander is Maulvi Nazir. The Mehsuds only live on the Pakistani side, while the Wazirs inhabit both sides of the border.
These sanctuaries directly threaten Afghanistan's Paktika province, where the US-led forces have a base in the Barmal region and several outposts along the border to counter infiltration. Pakistani security forces also man scores of border checkposts in the region.
However, infiltration has continued unabated and the number of hit-and-run attacks on foreign troops has been one of the highest in this region. Militants based in the region are known to have carried out strikes as far away as the Kandahar-Kabul highway.
North Waziristan, Paktia, Khost
The North Waziristan region is dominated by the Wazir tribe that also inhabits the adjoining Afghan provinces of Paktika and Khost. North and South Waziristan form the most lethal zone from where militants have been successfully destabilising not only Paktika and Khost, but other Afghan provinces such as Paktia, Ghazni, Wardak and Logar. Groups based in Waziristan region are known to have carried out some recent attacks in the Afghan capital, Kabul, as well.
Tribal identities are particularly strong in Paktika, Khost and Paktia. During the Taleban rule of 1997-2001, these provinces were ruled by their own tribal governors instead of the Kandahari Taleban who held power over the rest of the country. In the current phase of the fighting they coordinate with the militants in Kandahar and Helmand, but they have stuck with their own leadership that dates back to the war against the Soviets in 1980s.
The veteran Afghan militant Jalaluddin Haqqani is based in North Waziristan. He has wielded considerable influence over the top commanders in South and North Waziristan. He is also reported to have maintained links with sections of the Pakistani security establishment and is known to have mediated peace deals between the Pakistani government and the Wazir and Mehsud commanders in the region. Mr Haqqani is now an old man, and his son Sirajuddin has taken over most of his work.
There are many Arab and other foreign fighters in North and South Waziristan. This is due to Jalaluddin Haqqani's close links with the al-Qaeda leadership. He married an Arab woman in the 1980s.
In view of the sensitivity of Waziristan region, US-led forces have set up a large base in Khost from where they conduct operations not only along the Waziristan region to the south but also in parts of the border region in Paktia and Nangarhar provinces to the north.
Kurram, Khyber, Nangarhar
As the Pakistani military strategists who organised Afghan guerillas against the Soviets in the '80s discovered to their delight, Kurram is the best location along the entire Pakistan-Afghanistan border to put pressure on the Afghan capital, Kabul, which is just 90km away. But because the region is inhabited by a Shia tribe that opposes the Taleban for religious reasons, the Taleban have not been able to get a foothold here. Analysts say this is the main reason why the Taleban have taken so long to improve their strength in areas around Kabul, such as Logar and Wardak.
Some militant groups in the Khyber tribal district have carried out attacks on foreign and Afghan troops in Nangarhar province. But the Pakistani government has kept a close watch on them. One reason may be to curb the ability of these groups to block the highway through Khyber which serves as the main conduit for supplies to international forces in Afghanistan that come via the Pakistani port of Karachi.
Mohmand, Bajaur, Kunar
Analysts have long suspected Pakistan's Bajaur tribal region to be the hiding place of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and other top al-Qaeda leaders. The Mohmand and Bajaur tribal districts are also believed to be the stronghold of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of the main Afghan guerrilla leaders of the 1980s. Mr Hekmatyar fought the Taleban in 1990s, but after 9/11 started working with them. The actual extent of cooperation is not known. The groups in Mohmand and Bajaur are members of an umbrella organisation which is headed by South Waziristan's Baitullah Mehsud known as the Tehreek-e-Taleban (Pakistan Taleban).
Militants based in Mohmand and Bajaur have been striking at installations and supply lines of international forces based in the Narai region of Afghanistan's Kunar province. In recent months, they are also reported to have crossed the Hindu Kush foothills to carry out attacks on foreign troops in the Sarobi, Tagab and Nejrab areas around Kabul.
Oruzgan, Ghazni, Wardak, Logar
For a long time the Taleban were unable to maintain sustained pressure on the country's south-central highlands. But with safe sanctuaries in the border region – from the Baramcha area of Helmand province in the south, to some parts of Pakistani Balochistan, the Waziristan country and Bajaur-Mohmand territory to the east – the Taleban finally have the capacity to challenge the government in this region. The roads in Ghazni and Oruzgan are not as safe as they were a couple of years ago and officials are losing the will to maintain the government's authority.
Training camps run by al-Qaeda and Taleban groups have multiplied in secure border regions over the last few years. Safe havens have also afforded the militants endless opportunities to find new recruits. The Waziristan region is also known to be a haven for young suicide bombers and trained in remote camps. The Taleban also appear to have had access to sophisticated military equipment and professionally drawn-up battle plans.
The strategy appears to be the same as in 1980s – 'death by a thousand cuts'. Sporadic attacks on the security forces and the police have grown more frequent over the years, and have also crept closer to Kabul. At the same time, the Taleban have destroyed most of the education infrastructure in the countryside, a vital link between the central government and the isolated agrarian citizenry.
Oruzgan has mostly come under pressure from groups in Kandahar and Helmand. These groups, as well as those based in the Waziristan-Paktika-Khost region, have also moved up the highway via Ghazni to infiltrate Wardak on the left and Logar on the right. Safe and quiet until less than two years ago, both these provinces are now said to be increasingly infiltrated by Taleban fighters. The same is true of militants putting pressure on Kabul from Sarobi and Tagab in the east, with their tentacles stretching back to Laghman, Kunar and Bajaur.
A former princely state, Swat, in northern Pakistan, was governed by a British era law which a court declared unconstitutional in early 1990s, triggering a violent campaign for the introduction of Islamic law in the district.
The insurgency was effectively put down in 1994, but it re-emerged after 9/11, and was joined by many battle-hardened militants from Waziristan, Bajaur and the neighbouring district of Dir. During a 10-month long operation that still continues, the security forces have disrupted the infrastructure of the militants but is still to clear them out of the area. The militants have been targeting the security forces, the police, secular politicians and government-run schools.

Make 2022 a year when there are plans aplenty, with dates in the diary and a good variety of events to look forward to. The experts at Elite Hotels' three historic properties, based in beautiful locations in Hampshire and East Sussex, can help to make these plans and dates a wonderful reality…

Elite Hotels' two East Sussex properties – Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club, on the edge of Ashdown Forest, and The Grand Hotel, in a prime location on Eastbourne's seafront, have a variety of seasonal packages and events in 2022, plus many local attractions.
Why not treat mum to the Mothering Sunday Champagne Afternoon Tea (£49.50 pp) at Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club swith two-hour sittings from 3pm on 27 March? The tea includes a delicious selection of finger sandwiches and cakes, a glass of chilled bubbly, and a small Molton Brown gift to take home.
The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne is renowned for its music heritage, having hosted composers such as Debussy and Elgar over the decades. The hotel boasts several spaces with wonderful acoustics – hence it is an ideal location to enjoy a classical music performance. From 29 March-1 April, Some Enchanted Evenings – A Musical Getaway is a three-night musical extravaganza covering everything from opera to show tunes (from £515 pp total – £171.50 pp per night – for three nights' half-board accommodation and all performances).
Within reach of both hotels, Rathfinny Wine Estate, near Alfriston, East Sussex, produces some of the world's finest-quality sparkling wines. The vineyard holds weekly Winter Tour & Tasting sessions each Saturday and Sunday from 10.30 am until 1pm (£25 pp) until April, before switching to a summer programme of events. Visitors can also simply turn up during the Cellar Door shop's opening hours (daily, 10am to 5pm) and take a self-guided walking tour through the vineyard with the maps provided.
From mid-April until mid-May, get close to nature at a Singing with Nightingales evening (£79 pp; 7pm to 12.30am), where guests are taken on a guided woodland walk to hear nightingales sing. Conservationist and folk singer Sam Lee sings tunes around a campfire, and dinner and drinks are provided – all at a beguiling (and secret!) location near Lewes, East Sussex.
Celebrating the best in art, literature, ideas and politics, Charleston Festival (19-29 May 2022) is one of the UK's oldest and most prestigious interdisciplinary festivals, with over 100 speakers and 40 events. The festival takes place in the gardens of Charleston, East Sussex, once home to Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant of the artistic collective known as the Bloomsbury Group.
At Drusilla's Park in Alfriston, East Sussex, children can try their hand at being a Zoo keeper for the Day (from £140 pp; selected dates from May to December 2022). Tasks include preparing food for the animals, cleaning out enclosures and getting to know the animals.
In July, Glynde Place, East Sussex, hosts the Love Supreme Jazz Festival (1-3 July; adult day tickets from £69.30 pp), where big names in jazz and soul such as Erykah Badu, TLC, Tom Misch and Lianne La Havas will play alongside a range of yoga sessions, food stalls and fairground rides.
In Eastbourne itself, visit the magnificent TOWNER Eastbourne, which offers two new art exhibitions that launch in February and run for several months: Jananne Al-Ani Timelines (12 February - 22 May) is a new moving image work which reflects on the relationship between Britain and Irag, and the multi-talented painter, printmaker, illustrator and tapestry designer Eileen Mayo will hold her first solo exhibition in the UK, entitled A Natural History (12 February - 3 July).
Many of the town's biggest annual events will be back on the agenda in 2022, including the Viking International women's tennis championships at Devonshire Park (17-25 June), Eastbourne International Air Show (18-21 August) and the annual Walking Festival (September 2022).
Stay overnight at The Grand Hotel from £240 per room per night (two sharing), including breakfast. Contact The Grand Hotel on 01323 412345 (www.grandeastbourne.com).
Stay overnight at Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club from £255 per room per night (two sharing), including breakfast. Contact Ashdown Park Hotel on 01342 824988 (www.ashdownpark.com).

Fujis are finally ready! Our trees are loaded with them so come and enjoy!
Fujis are a well-loved, sweet eating apples. They are also great for applesauce and salads, and good for pies.
Apples so nice looking packed in boxes. Rome and Jonagold apples.
Jonagold: 6 rows left with 1/4 of each row left to pick. Still a large amount hanging out there. They won't last long if you want to store them because they are getting ripe, but you can't beat the flavor right now! Still yummy for eating, baking and applesauce.
Golden Delicious: These are amazing right off the tree compared to the store. Lots and lots of these left.
Red Delicious: A very large amount still available in the front, older section of the orchard. Please ask and we will help you find them.
Melrose: About 5 large trees left to pick in the older part of the orchard. We marked these trees with hot pink ribbon. Let us help you find them!
Granny Smith: Just started picking these so a ton left. Good storage apple.
Rome: Just started picking these, also a ton left. Just gorgeous. Great storage apple.
Always great to see these ladies! They have such passion for their apples. Thank you!
Our apple festival is on Saturday, Oct 10, from 10am-2pm this year!!
We will have applesauce tasting, apple variety tasting, tractors for the kids and adults to climb on, Gator rides, apple crafts and a scavenger hunt. All free! Come check it out and bring some friends! | {

Top Ranker
We're not going to see a lot of action on the baize for a bit so I have been considering a decent bet on one of the season long markets that has appeared online recently. Ladbrokes have priced up players to win a ranking event this season and are allowing multiple bets on it, so I thought I'd do a bit of research and share my findings with the group.
Snooker obviously now has a lot more ranking events than it used to, which explains the fact that we now have to look quite far down the ranking list to spot someone that has never won one (currently Yan Bingtao at 23rd on the list). I've done some analysis of the last four years rankers, I have even taken the trouble to list all the finalists and the results for you on this page, now that's what I call top drawer service.
Here are some of my conclusions following my painstaking investigation:
Firstly, over the past four seasons there have been 67 ranking tournaments, those 67 have produced a total of 26 different winners, so it doesn't take a genius to work out that for a lot of them we are seeing a familiar face and repeat winner get his hands on the trophy.
Over the past four seasons however there are only three players who have won a ranking event in every season and it may not be the three you would automatically think. The first as you would probably expect is World Number 1 Mark Selby. The Jester has won a total of 11 ranking events over the past four seasons, comfortably more than any other player on the tour, hence his number one tag and bulging wallet.
The second is Judd Trump, who has won 6 ranking events over this period and is just one behind Ronnie O'Sullivan who has won 7 but who failed to win one in season 2016/17, although he did win the Masters and was runner up in the UK to Selby, before returning to winning ranking form in style last season with 5 titles.
The third is Neil Robertson whose 4 ranking titles in this period have all come in different seasons. So these are the only three on the whole tour who can claim this level of consistency when it comes to winning rankers. You actually have to go back 11 seasons to the last time Robbo didn't win at least one ranking event which is pretty impressive as well as amazingly consistent.
As well as the three names above, plus O'Sullivan, there are only a further four players who have 3 or more ranking titles to their name in this period, those being John Higgins who has 5 and Ding Junhui, Stuart Bingham and Mark Williams, who all have 3 to their name, Williams' all coming last season.
It may come as a surprise that Shaun Murphy and Mark Allen haven't been mentioned yet, but they are both stuck on 2 ranking titles in the last four seasons, the same number as Ali Carter, Michael White, Barry Hawkins, Marco Fu, Ryan Day, who won both his last season and Anthony McGill, although one of his was that awful Shootout so he can only have one and a half. That actually completes the list of multiple ranking event winners in the last four seasons.
So what about this market? How easy do you think it is to predict that a player will definitely win a ranking event this season from the current calendar of 19? Selby you would assume will at some point get his hands on one, Ronnie will probably win one of the home nations ones and/or one of those other ITV ones he likes, Higgins shows no signs of letting up and Judd seems to develop a winning habit at some point in the season for a short spell. World Champion Williams will also be looking to carry over his winning streak and add to his recent run of successes. But apart from them who else? Can Robertson deliver again and keep his incredible ranking run going? Will Ding play in enough of them this time to be worthy of a bet or is he too risky to ermm risk? Will Kyren Wilson, still with just one ranking event to his name, kick on this season and add trophies to his collection given the promise he's been showing?
I can't believe that Murphy hasn't won anything ranking-wise recently other than the lowly Gibraltar Open, he's been in quite a lot of finals in this period and has lost in 7 of them and surely Masters Champion Allen is a prime contender to add something again this season? What about any new ranking winners? One of the new crop of Chinese players perhaps like Zhou Yuelong or Yan Bingtao? (though I'd not chance any dosh on Cao Yupeng for obvious reasons) or perhaps one of the recent improvers like Jack Lisowski?
Maybe some of the old firm like Joe Perry, Dark Mavis, Stephen Maguire or Ricky Walden might get back to the winners enclosure? Can the likes of Carter, White, McGill, Fu, Gould or Wenbo add to their ranking stats? So many questions….
After much deliberation I've decided to have a go on this market for some long term interest and I'm going to go with a sixfold which brings in a mix of established winners and those I think are due another trophy, I'm in this one for the long haul, best of luck if you join in.
Recommended Bet: Pays 9.07/1 (with odds boost at Ladbrokes) Mark Selby, Judd Trump, Mark Allen, Kyren Wilson, Shaun Murphy and Stuart Bingham all to win a ranking event in the coming season.
Also recommended (later edit): Mark Selby to finish the season as World Number One at 13/2 with Black Type. | {

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Heavy monsoon rains flooded several low-lying areas of India's financial capital Mumbai on Tuesday, paralyzing train services used by millions of commuters daily and causing flight delays.
Schools and colleges in some parts of the city declared a holiday but government offices, the stock exchange and banks remained open as rains lashed Mumbai for a fourth straight day.
Weather officials forecast heavy to very heavy monsoon rains in the city and its surroundings over the next two days, and urged people to stay indoors.
A spokesman for Mumbai International Airport said flights in and out of India's second busiest airport were delayed.
Flooded railway tracks forced authorities to cancel more than a dozen long-distance trains, while suburban trains, a lifeline for the city's population of about 18 million, were also affected, railway officials said.
Thousands of passengers were stranded at railway stations and others were forced to walk home through waist-deep water on rail tracks.
"Disaster management cell and all concerned departments are working hard to provide every possible assistance to Mumbaikars," Devendra Fadnavis, the chief minister of the western state of Maharashtra, where Mumbai is located, said in Twitter message.
Mumbai's dabbawalas, the city's famed lunch delivery men, suspended work for the day across the city due to the rains.
Although Mumbai bills itself as a global financial hub, many parts of the city struggle to cope with water-logging during the annual monsoon rains.
Floods in 2005 killed more than 500 people in the city. The majority of deaths occurred in shanty town slums, which are home to more than half of Mumbai's population.
Unabated construction on floodplains and coastal areas, as well as storm-water drains and waterways clogged by plastic garbage, have made the city increasingly vulnerable to storms. | {

Peruvian cuisine is rated among the best in the world and is currently experiencing a period of flourishing self-confidence and great popularity overseas. The country's chefs are adept at creating innovative new fusions with its fantastic wealth of food products, most of which are indigenous.
As with almost every activity, the style and pattern of eating and drinking varies considerably between the three main regions of Peru. The food in each area, though it varies depending on the availability of different regional ingredients, is essentially a mestizo creation, combining indigenous cooking with four hundred years of European – mostly Spanish – influence.
Guinea pig (cuy) is the traditional dish most associated with Peru, and you can find it in many parts of the country, especially in the mountain regions, where it is likely to be roasted in an oven and served with chips. It's likely however, that you may encounter more burgers and pizza than guinea pig, given that fast food has spread quickly in Peru over the past two decades.
All over Peru, but particularly in the large towns and cities, you'll find a wide variety of traditional fast foods and snacks such as salchipapas (chips with sliced sausage covered in various sauces), anticuchos (a shish kebab made from marinated lamb or beef heart) and empanadas (meat- or cheese-filled pies). These are all sold on street corners until late at night. Even in Peru's villages you'll find cafés and restaurants that double as bars, staying open all day and serving anything from coffee and bread to steak and chips, or even lobster. The most popular sweets in Peru are made from either manjar blanco (sweetened condensed milk) or fresh fruits.
In general, the market is always a good place to stock up – you can buy food ready to eat on the spot or to take away and prepare – and the range and prices are better than in any shop. Most food prices are fixed, but the vendor may throw in an orange, a bit of garlic or some coriander leaves for good measure. Smoked meat, which can be sliced up and used like salami, is normally a good buy.
All larger towns in Peru have a fair choice of restaurants, most of which offer a varied menu. Among them there are usually a few Chinese (chifa) places, and nowadays a fair number of vegetarian restaurants too. Most establishments in larger towns stay open daily from around 11am until 11pm, though in smaller settlements they may close one day a week, usually Sunday. Often they will offer a set menu, from morning through to lunchtime, and another in the evening. Ranging in price from S/6 to S/25, these most commonly consist of three or four courses: soup or other starter, a main dish (usually hot and with rice or salad), a small sweet or fruit-based third plate, plus tea or coffee to follow. Every town, too, seems now to have at least one restaurant that specializes in pollos a la brasa – spit-roasted chickens.
Along the coast, not surprisingly, seafood is the speciality; the Humboldt Current keeps the Pacific Ocean off Peru extremely rich in plankton and other microscopic life forms, which attract a wide variety of fish. Ceviche is the classic Peruvian seafood dish and has been eaten by locals for over two thousand years. It consists of fish, shrimp, scallops or squid, or a mixture of all four, marinated in lime juice and chilli peppers, then served "raw" with corn, sweet potato and onions. Ceviche de lenguado (sole) and ceviche de corvina (sea bass) are among the most common, but there are plenty of other fish and a wide range of seafood is utilized on most menus. You can find ceviche, along with fried fish and fish soups, in most restaurants along the coast from S/15–25.
Escabeche is another tasty fish-based appetizer, this time incorporating peppers and finely chopped onions. The coast is also an excellent place for eating scallops – known here as conchitas – which grow particularly well close to the Peruvian shoreline; conchitas negras (black scallops) are a delicacy in the northern tip of Peru. Excellent salads are also widely available, such as huevos a la rusa (egg salad), palta rellena (stuffed avocado), or a straight tomato salad, while papas a la Huancaina (a cold appetizer of potatoes covered in a spicy, light cheese sauce) is great too.
Mountain food is fairly basic – a staple of potatoes and rice with the meat stretched as far as it will go. Lomo saltado, or diced prime beef sautéed with onions and peppers, is served anywhere at any time, accompanied by rice and a few French fries. A delicious snack from street vendors and cafés is papa rellena, a potato stuffed with vegetables and fried. Trout is also widely available, as are cheese, ham and egg sandwiches. Chicha, a corn beer drunk throughout the sierra region and on the coast in rural areas, is very cheap with a pleasantly tangy taste. Another Peruvian speciality is the pachamanca, a roast prepared mainly in the mountains but also on the coast by digging a large hole, filling it with stones and lighting a fire over them, then using the hot stones to cook a wide variety of tasty meats and vegetables.
Jungle food is quite different to the rest of the country. Bananas and plantains figure highly, along with yuca (a manioc rather like a yam), rice and plenty of fish. There is meat as well – mostly chicken supplemented occasionally by game (deer, wild pig or even monkey). Every settlement big enough to get on the map has its own bar or café, but in remote areas it's a matter of eating what's available and drinking coffee or bottled drinks if you don't relish the home-made masato (cassava beer).
Beer, wines and spirits are served in almost every bar, café or restaurant at any time, but there is a deposit on taking beer bottles away from a shop (canned beer is one of the worst inventions to hit Peru this century – some of the finest beaches are littered with empty cans).
Soft drinks range from mineral water, through the ubiquitous Coca-Cola and Fanta, to home-produced favourites like the gold-coloured Inka Cola, with rather a home-made taste, and the very sweet Cola Inglesa. Fruit juices (jugos), most commonly papaya or orange, are delicious and prepared fresh in most places (the best selection and cheapest prices are generally available in a town's main market), and you can get coffee and a wide variety of herb and leaf teas almost anywhere. Surprisingly, for a good coffee-growing country, the coffee in cafés outside of Lima, Cusco and Arequipa leaves much to be desired, commonly prepared from either café pasado (previously percolated coffee mixed with hot water to serve) or simple powdered Nescafé. Increasingly it's possible to find great coffee in larger towns where certain cafés prepare good fresh espresso, cappuccino or filtered coffee. Starbucks (complete with wi-fi) has arrived in several of Peru's cities and is everywhere you turn in Lima.
Most Peruvian beer – except for cerveza malta (black malt beer) – is bottled lager almost exclusively brewed to five percent alcohol content, and extremely good. Traditional Peruvian beers include Cristal, Pilsen and Cusqueña (the latter, originating from Cusco, is generally preferred, and has even reached some UK supermarkets in recent years). In Trujillo on the north coast, they drink Trujillana beer, again quite similar; and in Arequipa they tend to drink Arequipeña beer. There are several new lager beers now on the market, including the Brazilian brand Brahma. Peru has been producing wine (vino) for over four hundred years, but with one or two exceptions it is not that good. Among the better ones are Vista Alegre (the Tipo Familiar label is generally OK) – not entirely reliable but only around S/8 a bottle – and, much better, Tabernero or Tacama Gran Vino Reserva (white or red) from about S/25–45 a bottle. A good Argentinian or Chilean wine will cost from $10 upwards.
As for spirits, Peru's main claim to fame is pisco. This is a white-grape brandy with a unique, powerful and very palatable flavour – the closest equivalent elsewhere is probably tequila. Almost anything else is available as an import – Scotch whisky is cheaper here than in the UK, but beware of the really cheap whisky imitations or blends bottled outside of Scotland which can remove the roof of your mouth with ease. The jungle regions produce a sugar-cane rum, cashassa (basically the Peruvian equivalent of Brazilian cachaça), also called aguardiente, which has a distinctive taste and is occasionally mixed with different herbs, some medicinal. While it goes down easily, it's incredibly strong stuff and is sure to leave you with a hangover the next morning if you drink too much. | {

Express MS Limited, a Tyne & Wear debt collection company, has been wound up in the High Court after failing to deliver on its claims.
Express M S Limited, a Tyne & Wear firm masquerading as a debt collection company, has been wound up following an Insolvency Service investigation.
The company was wound up in the High Court on 9 September for failing to provide the services it claimed it could deliver. The investigation quickly unravelled the shady practices that had been employed by the business to defraud honest customers of money.
The investigation quickly unravelled the company's spurious claims that it could take action against the directors of failed companies to help creditors recover their debts. The firm charged annual fees ranging from £100 to £1,250 plus VAT for a service it did not deliver. Over a two period, the company received more than £665,000 from unsuspecting creditors.
The lack of accurate accounting records prevented the investigators from establishing the full scale of the company's trading activities. It is known that the company was paid to collect at least £489,734 of debt. However, it successfully recovered a single debt to the value of £1,586. This amount was not paid to Express MS Limited's client.
The court heard how the company had duped creditors into believing they were dealing with a legitimate debt collection by making "misleading and unfounded statements". In actual fact, the services they delivered or failed to deliver in this case, had "little or no commercial benefit" for clients.
Employing a team of doorstep debt collectors across the UK when no such employees worked for the company.
To add further weight to the company's supposed legitimacy, some customers were even offered a money-back guarantee if Express MS failed to reclaim the money creditors were owed. Predictably, no provision was made to meet the guarantees when customers did make a claim.
The company has been wound up as a result of the Insolvency Service investigation.
This story highlights the importance of checking the credibility and legitimacy of debt collection companies before handing over any money. In this case, businesses struggling to reclaim their debts have been left further out of pocket by the activities of this fraudulent outfit.
As always, a personal recommendation from someone you trust is the best source of reassurance. However, client testimonials, case studies, awards and accreditations can also provide peace of mind.
Always, always ask for identification and if in any doubt you can visit the Citizens Advice Bureau website https://www.adviceguide.org.uk/ and check the bailiff's details and claim. | {

–That is so cool! Is also cool that you understand the importance of not having always a camera to "see" him and the show.
–That's right! I can't mess around with a phone at a Bruce concert! I let everyone else do that! I love him sooo much. I chose Bobby Jean for no particular reason other than I love that song! But lately I have a new favourite… NYC Serenade in Rome 2013 omg!!! That song is incredible! Gives me goosebumps!!! | {

On Sat 13th April 2012 the ACF Rugby Sevens were played at the Brecon Rugby Club – a change in venue brought about by the late cancellation by Christ College. In the end despite the change in venue and the difficult weather in the morning, teams from eight out of the ten ACF regions competed at both Intermediate and Senior sevens level. London and the North West were the absentees – a pity as London in particular has traditionally provided strong teams.
Throughout the morning in driving rain, the teams competed in the pool games getting muddier and muddier so by the time that the semi-finals and finals were played after lunch the colours of the rugby strips had been reduced to a uniform light brown. In the Intermediate finals Wales took on Eastern and convincingly beat them 21 – 12 whilst in the Seniors' finals Scotland beat South West 22-19 in a very closely fought contest – the lead changing hands several times during the game.
Prizes were presented by the Commander 160 Bde – Brig Philip Napier, the Chairman of the Army Sports Control Board – Maj Gen Christopher Elliot, and the President of the ACFA – Lt Gen Andrew Graham. The Mayor of Brecon, Councillor Ashton, attended the event in the morning and spent some time talking to the teams. | {

"Detectives are working the case now to try and determine who the person (the accused assailant) was and how this happened," Flowers said Sunday morning.
The motive was not immediately clear.

More: Gifford gunman shoots through man's shoulder in neighborhood shooting spree, sheriff's officials say
"The victim on scene could provide very little information," Flowers said. "The witnesses that were involved that saw the person flee provided a very vague description that wasn't helpful."
Flowers said someone heard screams and apparently reported the incident to authorities.
The man who was wounded was found in the home, Flowers said.
"It's very early in the investigation. It's only been a few hours," Flowers said about 9:30 a.m. Sunday. "It'll take our detectives a little bit of time to sort this out and … then we'll have more information."
Several hours after the incident, sheriff's officials were at the scene. A crime scene van and sheriff's car were parked out front as yellow tape affixed to a mailbox blocked off the area. A Ford pickup was in the front lawn and another vehicle in a covered driveway.
Wayde Douglas, 27, lives across the street from the single-story home where the incident occurred.
"As far as I know they were fairly quiet neighbors, good people," Douglas said.
Douglas said he's lived there almost six months and said there have been no issues.
"We're kind of surprised," Douglas said.
He said the area is home to a "wonderful mixture" of people.
"It's kind of creeping me out to be honest because we just moved over here and that's the last thing you want to see next door is a crime scene unit," Douglas said.
Flowers asked those with information to call emergency dispatchers at 772-978-6240 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273-TIPS. | {

Greetings from the President
The Japan Second Language Association (J-SLA) is committed to investigating the mechanisms of second language acquisition (SLA). It was founded in 2001 and has been active for almost 20 years since its conception, holding annual conferences and autumn seminars, as well as publishing a journal, Second Language. In addition, J-SLA hosted an international conference, the Pacific Second Language Research Forum 2016, attracting more than 300 participants from around Japan and beyond. We are proud to say that J-SLA has become a well-established association devoted to experimental and theoretical SLA research.
On the other hand, I feel that J-SLA is sometimes misunderstood, which has led some researchers and teachers to distance themselves from it. In the following, I mention three such misunderstandings, and by addressing each one, show you what J-SLA is all about.
Misunderstanding 1: J-SLA is exclusively dedicated to UG-based SLA.
J-SLA was established in 2001, when "access to UG" in SLA was being hotly debated within the Chomskyan principles-and-parameters framework. Therefore, UG-based SLA research was predominant during the early years of J-SLA and hence its association with UG-based SLA. However, this is no longer the case as theoretical orientations in SLA have diversified since then. While we do believe we need theory to probe into the mechanisms of SLA, we are not devoted to any single theory, welcoming SLA research from different theoretical perspectives, be it, e.g., UG-based, usage-based, cognitive, functional, sociocultural, etc.
Misunderstanding 2: J-SLA has no interest in second language pedagogy.
It is true that J-SLA focuses on the mechanisms of SLA and does not cover second language (L2) pedagogy per se. However, this does not mean that we believe that SLA research has no relevance to L2 pedagogy; on the contrary, we believe that SLA research has important pedagogical implications. After all, it is helpful to have an understanding of the L2 acquisition process in order to inform you about how to teach languages effectively. In fact, most of the J-SLA members are not only L2 researchers but also L2 teachers/learners, who care about how to teach/learn L2s. Moreover, instructed SLA is an important part of our inquiry as long as it sheds light on SLA mechanisms.
Misunderstanding 3: J-SLA is exclusively focused on the second language acquisition of English.
As a society in Japan, J-SLA has often featured studies on the L2 acquisition of English and, to a lesser extent, L2 acquisition of Japanese, but this does not mean that J-SLA is exclusively focused on the acquisition of English (or Japanese) as an L2. We do realize that we need data from various L2s to understand the mechanisms of SLA in general; therefore, we invite studies on the L2 acquisition of a variety of languages.
In short, J-SLA is a get-together of people who care about SLA and thus want to deepen their understanding of its mechanisms. If this appeals to you, I would strongly encourage you to join us. We are friendly people who truly believe that SLA is a worthwhile phenomenon to study scientifically, who want to share our passion for SLA with you. Let us join hands in our efforts to promote SLA research, not just within Japan, but around the globe, thereby contributing to the field of SLA!
Shunji Inagaki
President of the Japan Second Language Association
Professor, Doshisha University

Not sure how often I'll do SOTD but I generally listen to music everyday so...we'll just see. To piggy back off of yesterday's post...I wanted to here more of Ms. Janelle Monáe. She's done a lot of features I wasn't aware of. Now, I didn't realize until the Grammy's that she featured on the song "We Are Young" by FUN. I was so confused, like where is her voice but its during the bridge of the song. But what did I find today?! I bonus track on FUN. "Some Nights" album featuring more of Ms. Janelle. Want to take a listen?
It is way more mellow than the version you hear on the radio. As Porky Pig would say, "That's All Folks!" | {

I have always lived in the Midwest. Believe me, I don't regret it…for many reasons…. One of the best is that I get to experience all four seasons as they are meant to be experienced. The heat and humidity of summer; the crisp suddenness of fall; the blanketing somnolence of winter; the vibrant burst of spring. I feel sorry for those who choose not to know it, or actually don't want it. I overheard someone in the Denver airport recently say he wanted "warm" all the time. Bah!
Summers in the Midwest are times of exuberance! Despite the heat that can be well above 100 degrees with humidity to match (and as many bugs per square inch), we're out in our shorts and T-shirts enjoying the "Mom and apple pie" of baseball games, fireworks (beginning in June or earlier), and homemade ice cream. No way we can appreciate what's to come if we don't have the memories of the heat. Despite that, if you're willing to look, you can see the world here become green and gold as the land responds to the climate and the crops ripen and mature like the earth itself. Life slows a bit, and we all take the time to spend more time together outside. Even the palest of us takes on the glow of summer sun.
In the coming months the temperatures drop and the bugs begin to leave us alone. Instead of green and gold, we get red and orange and the crispness and lace of occasional frosted leaves. Fall means gathering the bounty of the summer and counting the blessings of our time. Days retain the summer's heat for a while and give way to nights of cozy fires and indoor pastimes. We remember what has been and begin the countdown to the new year.
Winter can be sudden. The blanketing snows may come early and cover the earth with a sameness of cold and clean, or they may tease the air and ring in the next year with only flurries of frigid somnolence. Despite this, we join together to celebrate what has been and rejoice in anticipation of what is to come. The trees raise bare arms to clatter in fierce, frozen winds, applauding our time of rest as well as celebrating the time we have to come together in shared warmth. Hearth and home warm hearts and souls and we give thanks for one another.
No other time anywhere is as glorious or as violent as spring can be here. Everything BURSTS overnight! One day it is frozen in the hard past. The next it is thawed in melting newness. The gold of the dawn is seen in suddenly opened buds that just as soon are excruciatingly green. Nothing is gradual. Mornings may be iced; afternoons wet with labor's sweat and preparation; evenings cooled to celebratory chill. The sun may seem to fall in gentle showers of rain. It seems that the changes are actually visible—buds to blossoms to leaves within minutes—explosions of life that should be audible, as well. The sleep of winter becomes the dance of spring. True, in one day's time lapse, we can experience every imaginable climatic event except hurricanes! The dawn may be cold enough to leave frost on the new grass; early morning might see snow showers changing to sleet, hail as large as baseballs; midday might mean torrential downpours; late afternoons chase us underground to cover our heads as the earth itself seems to rise up and turn over in violent cyclonic winds that strip away everything from blades of grass to high rise buildings; while sunset might present a palette of color to mock the destruction of the afternoon.
Why would anyone want to have only one season? The changes of the earth are the rhythms of life and living. We feel the revolutions of the earth. In its spinning around the sun we change our clothes and metamorphose physically, spiritually, emotionally. The older I get, the faster the turns seem to come. It's a wonder I'm not dizzy, but I love these evolutions. It's not a winding down by any means. I hope to be a Midwestern dervish for many years to come. Feel free to dance with me in any season.

For other reading, check this out.
The forum doesn't come as much of a surprise to me. I think "devices that light up" are an early fascination for kids, and if the internet age has proven two things it's that there's generally some childhood fascination that folks never grow out of… and that there's a forum for everything.
The price tag of the device gets me more.
Can't wait until they start handing this thing out to airport security. | {

HBO Plans Film Version of 2008 Election Book
Film will look at events from candidates' perspectives
By Amelia Atlas, Newser Staff
Posted Apr 14, 2009 2:32 PM CDT
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are now, respectively, secretary of state and president after a bruising Democratic primary campaign. (AP Photo)
HBO Films has picked up Game Change, a book about the 2008 election, to adapt for the small screen. The book, to be published next year, takes a character-driven look at the campaigns from the perspectives of the candidates and their camps, says Variety. The option continues the network's recent interest in timely political material, a la last year's 2000 election saga Recount.
"It's funny to call Obama and Hillary characters, but that's how I have to look at them," said the screenwriter who'll adapt the book by politics veterans Mark Halperin, of Time, and John Heilemann, of New York. "To me, the primary was one of the greatest title fights of the century, and John and Mark have a treasure chest of anecdotes and inside stories. I think it will present itself almost like a stage play, like Frost/Nixon or The Queen." (Read more Barack Obama stories.) | {

This had me thinking. If our perception is limited, things could appear much bigger than they are. Sometimes, one needs a broader vision to put things in their true perspective. How have you been looking at the problems that you are going through? While your eyes are focused on the problem, it will seem bigger than it is. In order to put it into perspective, you need to take a step back and broaden your vision.
When you stop looking at any problem you're facing and look to God, your vision will broaden, because you will begin to understand that, in comparison to Him, the size of that problem is insignificant, just as the size of the butterfly is insignificant, compared to the hand next to it. Don't be overwhelmed by the problems you face. Allow God to step into the picture, so that you may see the size of that problem shrinking before your eyes! | {

In 1988 Martin Pistorius fell ill. He became unresponsive and doctors thought that he was brain dead. That was far from the truth. Marin was well aware of his surroundings and could see and hear everything. He was trapped inside his own body unable to move.
This book tells the tale of a remarkable true story of Martin's life. While reading, I could not put down the book. I was captivated by his story telling and horrified at the ordeal he went through. I did find the chapters to be a bit sporadic at times, especially near the end of the book. I felt like he had so much to say that to remember that chapters were disjointed. Even so, I highly recommend this book. It makes you think how lucky you are and things could be worse. A lot worse.
I give "Ghost Boy" 4 out of 5 stars.
Search for the Shadow Key by Wayne Thomas Batson is the second book in the Dreamtreaders trilogy. It follows fourteen year old Archer Keaton who has the fantastic ability to enter his dreams, known as a Dreamtreader.
Archer Keaton is the last Dreamtreader and must find a way to save his family and friends from the new Nightmare King and the Trendrils. He must seal the Dream Fabric or the barrier between dreams and the waking world will merge.
Filled with imagination, fantasy, and temptation, this epic fantasy trilogy was captivating and held my attention. This second part of the Dreamtreaders trilogy is a superb continuation and I honestly can not wait to find out how it all comes together in the end.
I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson's BookLook program but was not obligated to write a positive review. These thoughts are my own. | {

By The Law Center for Social Security Disability posted in social security disability benefits for injuries on Thursday, March 2, 2017.
For those individuals who work hard for their living, a severe injury can prevent them from providing for themselves and their loved one. Fortunately, there are government programs that can assist people who are in these types of situations. One such program is the Social Security Disability Insurance program. | {

ACA legislative briefing tackles racism, police reform and mental health issues
By Laurie Meyers October 20, 2020
The nation is poised at a historic moment in which the American people's recognition and understanding of the injustices that happen every day in Black and brown communities is at an all-time high, said Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md., one of the speakers at the American Counseling Association's Legislative Briefing on Racism, Police Reform and Mental Health held via Zoom on Wednesday, Oct. 14. He urged legislators, policy makers and advocates to use this awareness to make truly transformational changes to police departments.
Organized by ACA's Government Affairs and Public Policy department, the briefing consisted of a bipartisan panel of national and local legislators.
ACA CEO Richard Yep opened the session with a statement noting that the association denounces all forms of racism, police brutality, systemic violence and white supremacy. The briefing was offered to ACA's membership, legislative staff and advocates who are working on bills currently before the 116th Congress, specifically focusing on racism, police reform and mental health.
MSNBC commentator Aisha C. Mills, a longtime political strategist and social impact advisor moderated the briefing. Before turning the discussion over to the first panelist, Brown, she took a moment to acknowledge the pain that was happening in communities all over the country as a result of interactions with police departments.
"It's fraught—there's a lot of tension," Mills said. "One of the conversations that too often gets lost is that law enforcement responds and reacts in a way that is about safety, is about duty to protect communities and is not always able to be flexible and sensitive to the needs of people who are struggling with mental health issues.
"We're hopeful that through this conversation, we will learn about a variety of solutions that policy makers are thinking about—legislation that can be moved and … that the counseling community will be able to connect with ways that you all can be in better partnership with law enforcement and legislators as we all try to seek solutions together," she concluded.
The role of mental health in transforming community policing
Mental health professionals play a vital role in the broader public health of our communities, noted Brown. Their expertise must be a key feature in work to combat racism—particularly in police departments.
"The killing of Black Americans at the hands of the police is an epidemic in this country—one that has existed for decades and has gone largely unaddressed," he continued. The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless other Black men and women has highlighted the need to fundamentally transform policing in this country.
"I believe we should start by changing the culture of policing by moving the officers who protect us away from a warrior cop mentality toward their proper goal as community guardians," Brown emphasized. "We must also recognize and acknowledge that officers are often tasked to respond to certain situations where they don't necessarily have the proper training."
Police officers are often unable to properly understand the citizens and communities that they are confronting or engaging with and thus cannot properly de-escalate or manage a situation, he said.
"Since 2016, nearly a quarter of the people killed by police officers have had a known mental illness," Brown said.
He believes that calling upon the expertise of mental health professionals is a vital part of preventing such tragedies.
"I believe we can save lives by acting more with compassion and understanding rather than force," he said. "We can save lives and livelihoods when we stop criminalizing mental illness and addiction by instead providing resources and help to those who need it. We must also provide structural reform in police departments."
This was the intent of H.R 7120, the "George Floyd Justice in Policing Act," which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in June.
The George Floyd Act seeks to transform police departments by reducing their militarization by preventing the transfer of military equipment from the U.S. Department of Defense to local police departments, removing bad officers and banning harmful practices such as choke holds and no-knock warrants. It also proposed training for police departments on diversity and cultural sensitivity, including how to end racial, religious and discriminatory profiling.
"We know that this legislation alone won't be enough," he said. To establish a more just country, we need to invest in long neglected policies and programs that meet the social needs of communities and address the structural disparities that harm Black and brown families, Brown said.
This month the House passed the Strength in Diversity Act of 2020 (H.R.2639) to address the persistent racial disparities in the education system. Brown authored an amendment to the act that would provide funds to recruit, hire and train more school counselors.
"School counselors play a vital role in students' success," he said.
On the other side of the aisle—and the other body of Congress—Jake Hinch, legislative assistant to Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., said that the senator had become interested in the intersection of mental health and policing because statistics show that approximately one in 10 police calls and one in four shootings involve someone with a mental illness.
Inhofe believes that one of the ways to address these issues is with S. 1464, the Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act of 2019, which would provide state, local and tribal agencies with federal grant funding for behavioral crisis response training. Inhofe believes that the training would provide knowledge that would assist police officers when responding to calls that include people who are suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol; are possibly suicidal or suffering from mental illness.
A call for counselors to lend their expertise
Charlyn Stanberry, chief of staff for Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., began her portion of the panel by noting that Oct. 14, the date of the event, would have been George Floyd's 47th birthday.
We are in a period of reckoning when it comes to systemic racism, police reform and mental illness, she said.
Rep. Clarke is the vice-chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over healthcare—including mental health, Stanberry noted. As part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)—which was specifically tasked by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi with putting together the George Floyd Policing Act—Clarke was involved with the public health aspects of the bill, which included discussions on how public safety in all communities could ultimately be reimagined so that it is just and equitable. In practice, such an effort would require bringing all stakeholders, such as law enforcement, mental health professionals and constituents to the table. One of the ways the CBC sought to ensure that would happen was by including a provision within the bill for providing public safety innovation grants for community-based programs, Stanberry explained. The grants would go toward creating task forces that would examine how policing would fit into the community and contribute to public safety in an equitable way.
"That's a big part of what we as individuals and counselors need to think about," she said. "How can you play a role if these grants are brought into the communities and talk about what this new 21st century police, community policing or public safety looks like?"
Hinch said that discussions like the ACA briefing are essential for him and other staff to stay aware of crucial issues. Legislative teams cover a lot of different subject areas and rely upon experts to educate them.
"It's important for counselors to come to their representatives in Congress to explain what the issues are and what they can do better," he said, adding that Sen. Inhofe wants to hear from everyone, whether they be Democrat, Republican or Independent.
"It's vital for the senator that we continue to have these kinds of conversations," Hinch said.
Stanberry added that although they are entering a lame duck session, the 117th Congress will be in session in January. There will be a lot of hearings that have to do with mental health, and she is officially issuing a call for research and expertise from counselors.
The final speaker was Georgia State Senate Majority Leader Bill Cowsert, the head of the state Republican party and chair of the Senate Law Enforcement Reform Committee, which is looking at police practices and procedures. The committee's intent is to see if police officers are receiving sufficient training to prepare them to deal with potentially confrontational situations such as crowd control or serving warrants or any incidents in which mental health issues may come into play, Cowsert explained. They've only had one meeting, but what the committee found is that throughout the country, police departments seemed to be getting a lot of training in de-escalation. Cowsert said he and the committee believe that the training could be improved upon. They intend to hold a hearing with members of the local mental health community in order to gain insight on how to improve training.
As the briefing ended, Stanberry and Hinch both placed their contact information in the comment boxes and urged the audience to get in contact with them to share ideas, comments and expertise.

FG flags off empowerment scheme with 27,000 youths in Jigawa
January 8, 2021 Favour Lashem News, Project 0
The Federal Government, on Friday, flagged off the Extended Special Public Works (ESPW) programme in Jigawa with 1,000 unskilled youth benefiting from each local government.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that each participant will receive N20,000 monthly for three months for the duration of the programme.
The Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, who made this known at the flag off of the ESPW in Dutse, said that the extended programme was an outcome of the pilot SPW in rural areas approved by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020.
Adamu said that the programme was introduced following the emergence of the novel COVID-19 pandemic, as a measure to cushion the adverse socio-economic effects of COVID 19.
"It aimed at shielding the vulnerable from the ravaging effects of COVID-19 pandemic which included, but are limited to pervasive hunger, poverty, environmental degradation and joblessness.
"The need to quickly address the above mentioned informed the decision to implement the ESPW,'' the minister said.
According to him, the target is to immediately engage the 774,000 selected unemployed Nigerians for the programme to execute carefully selected projects across 774 local government areas in the country.
He announced that each participating local government identified its preferred project and would be responsible for ensuring that they are executed as planned.
Adamu said, "it is instructive to mention that all the tools and equipment required have been provided hence the federal government expects strong commitment from all stakeholders in ensuring efficient implementation.''
The Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Malam Abubakar Nuhu, said that the ESPW programme was designed as a veritable tool through which the lives of 774,000 unemployed Nigerians will be positively touched in the next three months.
He said that all participants have been duly documented and their details captured by designated banks to guarantee a fraud-free, transparent and fair service delivery.
In his remarks, Gov. Muhammad Badaru, expressed appreciation to President Buhari for initiating several poverty intervention programmes of which Jigawa benefited immensely.
Badaru noted that most participants were between the ages of 18 and 25, adding that each beneficiary would benefit N20,000 within the three months programme.
The governor said that with the additional social intervention, N540 million would be injected into the state's economy every month, accumulated to N1.6 billion in three months. (NAN)

Email:[email protected]
Collaborations Map
Dr Graeme Browne is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. He is the Program Convener for the Masters in Mental Health Nursing and the senior academic and coordinator of the Port Macquarie Campus. He is a credentialed Mental Health Nurse. Early in his career Graeme saw limits for nurses practicing under a bio-medical model so undertook studies in community health nursing.
For much of his clinical career he worked as community health nurse in mental health, NGOs, domiciliary nursing and bush nursing as well as in private practice. Graeme's primary focus is on mental health research but because he works outside a major center, that is in Port Macquarie, he works collaboratively on a wide range of projects in collaboration with RHD students and clinicians
Addressing the power structures in health is one of the cornerstones of the development of primary health care. The declaration of Alma Ata (1978) and the Ottawa Charter (1986) committed to the 'bottom up' delivery of health services. As can be seen from Graeme's publications he is committed to this. His personal leadership and teaching styles are inclusive and respectful of the input from consumers, colleagues and students. On his wall he has written 'education is more about lighting a fire than filling a bucket (Yeats)'. Graeme's academic leadership includes: developing and coordinating undergraduate, honors and masters level programs and leading successful research teams.
Graeme's clinical leadership includes: public health especially community health, working and developing services in the non-government sector and leadership in developing education and research in health services and developing evidence-based practice culture among clinicians. His success in these areas is enhanced by his interest in engaging with clinical colleagues and developing mutually respectful relationships. Graeme has a strong and genuine commitment to the development of the nursing profession as a leader in the future of health services. One of the attractions of working at the University of Newcastle SON&M is its commitment to the future development of nursing. It offers leadership in the rapidly changing landscape of health care. More than that there is a belief at all levels in nursing and a vision in the school of what nursing can contribute to the community.
Mixed methods including a variety of qualitative approaches and quantitative design.
Grounded theory.
Graeme collaborates in research with clinicians from a variety of backgrounds including mental health, palliative care, emergency care, midwifery and public health. He has also been involved in studies on housing, substance abuse and the families of people with developmental disabilities.

© 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Objectives: This integrative review aimed to synthesize studies that investigated the effects of acupressure on sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and agitation in older people, and to describe the acupressure procedures and techniques applied in the included studies. Methods: A literature search was conducted using electronic databases including CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. The inclusion criteria for the review were studies examining the effect of acupressure in older people aged 60¿years and above, measured the outcomes for sleep quality, depression, anxiety or agitation, applied body acupressure, and published in English language. The exclusion criteria were studies using auricular acupoints only, and articles published in any language other than English. Methodological quality of studies was assessed using the critical appraised tools developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The information about study design, findings, and description of acupressure intervention were extracted, summarized, and synthesized. Results: A total of 255 articles were identified from the search and as well one article from cross-references. From there, a total of 19 studies were included in this review. Nine studies consistently showed positive effects of acupressure on sleep quality, and four studies consistently showed that acupressure reduced depression. The outcomes of acupressure on anxiety and agitation showed inconsistent findings, in which three studies measured anxiety and five studies measured agitation. There was also variation of acupressure techniques applied in the reviewed studies. Conclusion: This review found some emerging evidences that acupressure can be beneficial for older people who suffer from sleep problems and depression. Use of specific acupressure points, with standardized acupressure treatment protocols, may improve sleep quality and possibly psychological wellbeing of older people. Future research with well-designed mixed method studies are required to produce stronger evidence, as well as in-depth understanding of acupressure intervention in aged care context.

© 2017 Australian College of Nursing Ltd Background: Although, person centred care has for a long time been an important approach to nursing care, it is often not a reality in the clinical environment. The focus of health research has, until recently, been on the physical aspects of a persons¿ illness and this has influenced how care is delivered. There is a need to broaden the focus from the illness to the person who is ill. A holistic approach to the persons¿ social and cultural experience of their illness will aid health care professions to provide person centred care. This paper will make the argument that narrative inquiry is a well suited to health care research in general and nursing research in particular as it focuses its inquiry on the individual person's experience of their illness ¿ ¿what matters¿ from the person's point of view. Narrative inquiry explores the narrative from a temporal, social and spatial view. Conclusions: There is a need to find what is important from the patients¿ ¿point of view¿ to optimise care. Narrative Inquiry is a methodology often used in education and sociology. It is a gentle relational methodology that has the capability to uncover what is important to the person in their situation. The research findings are presented narratively, that is, informally and engagingly for the consumer of the research.

© 2017 Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Inc. Mental Health Nurses have a long tradition of delivering talk-based interventions across a range of clinical settings. Despite this, Mental Health Nurses receive limited recognition of this contribution. This paper presents findings from a study that explored Mental Health Nurses' experience of delivering talk-based therapies in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. This study uses semistructured interviews and a phenomenological approach to explore eight Mental Health Nurses' experience. Themes emerging included that: mental health nursing is a talk-based therapy in its own right, talk-based therapy was part of everyday nursing care on the floor and integrated talk-based therapy enhanced recovery opportunities for consumers. However, a further theme was that there were tensions around providing talk-based therapy conflicted with other roles including unit management and the role of nurses in controlling challenging behaviours. This study found that Mental Health Nurses, in this setting, are offering talk-based therapy to the people they care for. The findings of this study have implications for research: there needs to be a larger study investigating nurses' use of talk-based therapy in inpatient settings. If, as the authors expect that, it is found that mental health nurses are offering these therapies generally in inpatient settings, this has serious implications for postgraduate education in Mental Health Nursing policy in terms of recognition that this is happening and finding ways to support nurses to do this well. There also needs to be further research in the best ways to offer talk-based therapy in these settings.

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) is associated with a wide range of personal, professional and social benefits with numerous applications evident for nursing education and clinical practice. Despite growing support for increasing the focus on EI in nursing and nurse education, empirical evidence for the effectiveness of training to increase EI is sparse. The aim with this study was to test the effect of a brief EI training program for registered nurses. Methods: We conducted a cross-site quasi-experimental study measuring nurses¿ EI pre- (T1) and three months post- (T2) EI training with a matched (untrained) control group (total n = 60). EI training consisted of a five-hour workshop, a 30-minute one-on-one feedback session, and an individualised follow-up reminder sent via SMS. Results: Training resulted in a significant increase in EI scores over baseline levels for the trained group while scores for the control group did not increase. Conclusion: This pilot study has provided clear evidence of the applicability and efficacy of a low-cost training intervention for nursing staff in a real world setting.

© 2016 Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Inc. New graduate nurses have reported negative experiences in mental health settings, particularly during the transitional period of practice. Previous research has focused on addressing the undergraduate preparation of nurses for practice instead of the experiences and outcomes of the transitional period. Recently, there has been growing interest in exploring the experiences of graduate nurses in transition and the implementation of promising interventions to facilitate new graduates' assimilation to practice. Despite these initiatives, the overall shortage of mental health nurses continues to rise, and graduates still report negative experiences in the mental health setting. The purpose of this study was to identify and explore the experiences of new graduate nurses in mental health services in their first year of clinical practice. An integrative review was conducted with 22 studies sourced from the CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and PsychINFO electronic databases, as well as through hand-searching the literature. Literature review findings have highlighted negative clinical experiences and increased attrition from mental health services for graduate nurses. These experiences were closely linked with the changes in the training of mental health nurses, role ambiguity, inadequate clinical preceptorship, encountering the reality of mental health services, and the role of health services in transitioning graduate nurses into clinical practice. Established research into organizational cultures demonstrates that negative organizational outcomes result from negative workplace experiences. Therefore, further research into new graduate nurses' experiences of mental health nursing and its culture might clarify the reasons why they might not be attracted to the discipline and/or are leaving early in their career.

© 2016 Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Inc. Public sector organizations have been shown to have high levels of workplace bullying, despite widespread adoption of zero-tolerance policy. Given the level of harm that stems from bullying, it has been suggested that it might be one of the most serious problems facing modern organizations. The qualitative findings from a large cross sectional study of public servants in Australia are reported in the present study. The results highlight palpable mental distress and illness stemming from exposure to workplace bullying. This distress was exacerbated by failures in prohibitive workplace procedures. Reporting bullying through formal organization processes did not lead to resolution of the problem; it instead highlighted feelings of powerlessness and mistrust. In light of the findings, we suggest that an alternative discourse is required, one that gives attention to enhancing employee resilience and self-healing behaviours to the emotional trauma of workplaces. Organizations might be better placed investing resources in fostering the resilience and emotional intelligence of their workforce, rather than continuing to invest resources in prohibitive policies that fail to address the problem. Employees should be supported to prioritize responsibility for their own mental health, rather than an overreliance on organizational responses.

Objective This study examined data recorded by one urban publicly funded opioid-replacement therapy clinic (from 2009 to 2011) to identify whether these data could be used to inform the rostering of clinicians more effectively to improve access to treatment. Methods Data analysis incorporated descriptive and inferential methods. Results There were trends in the times of the year consumers seek opioid-replacement therapy, similarity and differences between gender requests for treatment and variation in consumer wait time on triage. Conclusions National reporting of opioid-replacement therapy triages would help gain a better understanding of the number of people in need of treatment. If opioid-replacement therapy providers monitored consumer triages, they could roster more effectively, have gender-specific clinicians available, acknowledge and inform consumers of wait time on triage and allow re-orientation of services to lower wait time. © 2014 AHHA.

The Mental Health Nurse Incentive Program (MHNIP) is a Commonwealth Government funded scheme that supports people living with a mental illness. Despite its significance, the program has received little attention from researchers nor critical discussion within the published work. This paper first critically examines the MHNIP from the contexts of identities, autonomy, and capabilities of mental health nurses (MHN) and then reports on findings from a qualitative study that explored the experiences of staff working in the MHNIP. Key findings from this qualitative study include four main themes indicating that both the program and the nurses working within it are addressing the unmet needs of people living with a mental illness. They achieve these ends by adopting holistic and consumer-centred approaches and by providing a wide range of therapeutic interventions. As well, the MHN in this study valued the freedom and autonomy of their practice outside public health services and the respect received from colleagues working in other disciplines. Findings suggest that MHN within the study were experienced as having autonomous identities and roles that may be in contrast to the restrictive understandings of MHN capability within the program's funding rules. © 2013 Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Inc.

© 2014 Published by Elsevier Australia. Problem: Obesity in pregnancy is associated with an increased incidence of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality, from conditions like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth and stillbirth. Between 20% and 25% of pregnant women in Australia are presenting to their first antenatal appointment with a body mass index (BMI) =30kg/m2, defined as obesity in pregnancy. These figures are concerning for midwifery and obstetric staff directly involved in the clinical care of these women and their families. In the absence of national or state clinical practice guidelines for managing the risks for obese pregnant women, a local quality improvement project was conducted. Aim: To plan, implement, and evaluate the impact of an alternative clinical care pathway for pregnant women with a BMI=35kg/m2 at their first antenatal visit. Project setting: The project was undertaken in the antenatal clinic of a rural referral hospital in NSW, Australia. Subjects: Eighty-two women with a BMI=35kg/m2 were eligible for the alternative care pathway, offered between January and December 2010. Intervention: The alternative care pathway included the following options, in addition to usual care: written information on obesity in pregnancy, referral to a dietitian, early plus repeat screening for gestational diabetes, liver and renal function pathology tests, serial self-weighing, serial foetal growth ultrasounds, and a pre-labour anaesthetic consultation. Findings: Despite being educated on the risk associated with obesity in pregnancy, women did not take up the offers of dietetic support or self-weighing at each antenatal visit. Ultrasounds were well received and most women underwent gestational diabetes screening.

Schizophrenia can be a very disabling illness that affects between 0.5% and 1% of the population. This illness has a great personal impact on the individual sufferer, their family and friends. In addition, it makes significant demands on health services and the community in general. This paper reviews the literature on housing and supportive relationships for people with schizophrenia. The literature reports that people's experience of their schizophrenia is that it not only causes symptoms, but often impacts on their ability to maintain the basic resources in life. These resources include the ability to maintain reasonable quality housing, which seems to further impact negatively on their illness and their ability to maintain supportive social relationships. People with schizophrenia (and people in general) rely on their social relationships and family to maintain their mental health. The loss of social relationships and inability to maintain quality housing seem to be related - if people cannot maintain quality housing, they find it difficult to maintain supportive social relationships. © 2007 Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Inc.

The aim of this study was to develop a substantive grounded theory describing the relationship among housing, social support, and the mental health of people with schizophrenia. To achieve this aim, data were collected from people with schizophrenia living in boarding houses and living in their own home. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 people with schizophrenia to explore their experiences and views regarding the impact of their housing on their mental health. Findings indicate a strong desire among all participants to live in their own home. When they do they feel they belong, they feel safe and most importantly they have greater opportunities to make and maintain supportive social relationships. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Inc.

Accommodation is considered to be important by institutions interested in mental health care both in Australia and internationally Some authorities assert that no component of a community mental health system is more important than decent affordable housing. Unfortunately there has been little research in Australia into the consequences of discharging people with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia to different types of accommodation. This paper uses archival data to investigate the outcomes for people with schizophrenia discharged to two types of accommodation. The types of accommodation chosen are the persons own home and for-profit boarding house. These two were chosen because the literature suggests that they are respectively the most and least desirable types of accommodation. Results suggest that people with schizophrenia who were discharged to boarding houses are significantly more likely to be readmitted to the psychiatric unit of Gold Coast Hospital, although their length of stay in hospital is not significantly different.

This study examines stress in the parents of adolescents and young adults with an intellectual disability and compares it with stress reported by parents with offspring without an intellectual disability. An initial qualitative pilot study lead the authors to Baine et al's Stress Scale. The Baine et al scale is relatively new and addresses aspects of stress not previously investigated among the parents of people with an intellectual disability, namely, stress from the difficult relationship with health professionals and service providers and negative community attitudes to people with an intellectual disability. Because of the relevance to nurses, particular interest is paid to stress from the relationship parents have with health professionals and service providers. The study found significantly greater stress in the parents of young people with an intellectual disability in all aspects of stress examined, including stress from the individual with the disability, internal family stress, stress from the financial strain of having a family member with a disability, stress from community attitudes and stress perceived from the relationship with health professionals and service providers. These findings are distressing in the light of government and service agency policies of community care and independent living. This paper makes recommendations relevant to nurses and identifies difficulties for parents of young people with an intellectual disability in the implementation of current government policy.

What are the Experiences of Carers Receiving After-hours Visiting Palliative Care Support in the Hastings Macleay? $22,800
The research will explore the effect an after-hours visiting palliative care service, provided in the Mid North Coast Local health District (MNCLHD) in collaboration with the Non-Government Organisation (NGO) Silver Chain, has on the carer's experiences, ability and willingness to keep loved ones at home for end of life care. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, the emergent theory will contribute and add to the body of research in palliative care provision and inform policy and practice that is scaleable to other rural and regional areas.

2019 PhD Exploring the Experiences of Receiving Care from a Physical Health Nurse Consultant
It is well known that a 13-30 year life expectancy gap exists between people experiencing a mental illness and the general population (De Hert et al. 2011; Vancampfort et al. 2015). This cohort experiences disparity with an increased mortality risk resulting from multifactorial problems including physical illnesses and premature deaths. Mortality (77.7%) rates in this cohort were attributed to physical comorbidities; cardiovascular disease (29.9%), cancer (13.5%) and respiratory disease compared to the suicide related excess deaths of 13.9% (Lawrence, Hancock & Kisely, 2013). Prevalent physical comorbidities including the metabolic syndrome (32.6%), occur from compounding factors such as their illness process, obesity, smoking status, sedentary lifestyle and side effects of treatment (De Hert et al. 2011; Morgan et al. 2014; Vancampfort et al. 2015).<br />The proposed PhD study will provide further depth understanding of individual experiences of key stakeholders to the implementation of such a role is important, particularly to maximise its effectiveness as a strategy to improve the physical well being of consumers and physical health care practices. A qualitative exploratory study is proposed (Stebbins, 2001), to provide an in-depth understanding of consumers’ experiences of receiving care from a PHNC. Semi structured interviews will be undertaken with consumers to the point of data saturation (usually 15-20 interviews), to more fully understand the impact of a PHNC on the physical health status of people living with a mental illness. Interview data will be analysed to identify main themes using the Braun and Clarke framework (2014). These findings will build on the quantitative results , for example identifying aspects of the intervention that were most effective and those that could be improved or refined, contributing to further refinement of the intervention.<br /> Mental Health Nursing, Faculty of Health and Medicine, University of Newcastle Co-Supervisor
2019 PhD Safewards impact on consumer experience.
One paper has examined Safewards from a consumer&rsquo;s perspective and considers the model from a trauma informed perspective offering further enhancements (Kennedy et al 2019). There are no accounts in the literature that investigate the consumers&rsquo; viewpoint on the Safewards model and how it may increase their feeling of safety and wellbeing and how mental health nursing practice may be enhance through the adoption of the Safewards model.<br />This project proposes&nbsp; four stages to address this gap in the literature by aiming to explore the consumers views about how Safewards impacts on their experience of care within an acute inpatient mental health unit. Furthermore to understand from the staff&rsquo;s perspective how they perceive Safewards impacts on consumer experience.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br /> Mental Health Nursing, Faculty of Health and Medicine Pilot Grant University of Newcastle Co-Supervisor

2018 PhD A Comparison Study between current patients' nursing Assessment in Primary Health Care Setting in Saudi Arabia and Evidence Based Approach to Assessment in PHC.
Service delivery in the Primary Health Care sector in Saudi Arabia has continued to<br />experience drastic changes. Just like in the rest of the world, the most changing area has<br />continued to be in nursing profession. Whereas some PHC centres still practice the traditional<br />actual patients' nursing assessment, Cruz et al.,(2016) found that it is time "healthcare and<br />educational institutions" in Saudi Arabia shifted their focus to evidence based approach and<br />practice.<br />The same study goes on to conclude that evidence based practice is currently the goldstandard<br />of assessment and care in the nursing discipline today. The transition from current<br />nursing assessments and evidence based approach to nursing assessment has elicited lots of<br />discussion in the past decade. In fact, a study by El-Said et al., (2010) noted that evidence based<br />approach remains one of the most essential developments in decades for professionals in the<br />fields of nursing, psychiatry, medicine, psychology, counselling and other helping professionals<br />in Saudi Arabia.<br />The practice of traditional patients' assessment conducted by nurses is still in use in Saudi<br />Arabia though there is less documentation on it, despite the focus on evidence based practice<br />initiated by other discipline. Although this is widely the case, a comparative study would be ideal<br />to identify the shortfalls of either approach in order to improve service delivery in PHC centers<br />(El-Said, Zaki and Jakalat, 2010).

A bedroom remodel is fairly fundamental. Most everyone has done something to the bedroom to make it their own, whether it's as simple as a new paint job and hanging a new light fixture, or as complex as blowing out a closet or wall to make a master suite of an entire floor.
For me, tackling this master bedroom project meant creating a space that makes sense for living in this century—a handy feature for a house built in 1905. Old houses are tough enough to work on, but this old bird was (I'd like to say "lovingly remodeled," but that would be deceitful) was remuddled some 75 years later. And by "remuddled" I mean That 70's Show style hit this house like an out-of-control freight train, complete with accents of wood paneling and pink shag carpet throughout.
Upgrading this bedroom to meet such high-brow standards as un-cracked plaster walls and ceilings, along with suitable clothes storage (there was no closet in this bad boy), required blowing out a neighboring room's closet to add square-footage. I also upgraded all the electrical from the haphazard knob-and-tube to 21st Century specs. All this was to reach the ultimate goal of creating a remodel-free sanctuary while the rest of the house undergoes its growing pains on its way to a second life in modernity.
This master bedroom is a gut-job. Nothing is worth keeping.
The plaster has long-since over-served its duty and has been trying to retire to the floor—without a lick of encouragement from a wrecking bar I might add—for at least a decade. The windows refuse to stay open without special assistance from a book or scrap of lumber. The electrical knob-and-tube is like an active volcano waiting to light. The trim looks like it was cut during a blind-folded dare. And the insulation is like believing in a Santa Claus: I like to think that it exists, but it doesn't. The walls are just simple, sturdy ol' terra cotta block with plaster-on-lath. Not a high R-value here.
And you don't have to know anything about remodeling to catch this fastball: I just don't think pink works for an adult's bedroom. Once we settled on a realistic scope of work and a proper budget, I couldn't wait to start smashing out the mangy pink walls.
But, planning precedes smashing, despite the spike in my blood pressure when I got clearance to have at it.
You may be thinking, why doesn't he just sheet the entire room in drywall? Wouldn't that save a whole pile of time and money? No and yes.
Time. It would actually be more of a hassle to work around the current state of affairs. Laminating drywall on top of bad plaster would trap substandard wiring under a new finish and leave the HVAC system sucking wind like it was breathing through a straw. Not only would it have been not right, it would have been seriously wrong—and not safe.
Money. It does cost more out-of-pocket to do things the right way, but the amount of time saved from not spending hours jimmy-ing around with seriously PITA carpentry (you figure out that acronym) like tiny jamb extensions and/or re-hanging the door combined with bringing out the brittle, cloth-jacketed wires to the new drywall plane, I will actually save money in labor cost.
The biggest benefit to stripping the room back to block: The room can be insulated and a proper tie-in can be made to the HVAC system. That's a big bonus for a house that's never had any—and the project is ultimately cheaper to own over the long haul. 'Nuf said.
Tearing out plaster isn't something I do every day, but it's hardly new to me either. With all remodeling projects, there's always some nuance behind the sheathing. And I always expect a little surprise that some previous tradesman thoughtfully (or, more likely, thoughtlessly) left behind. To make haste on this project I reached for a few new tools to help speed up tear-down.
Ruggedly ready. I've never found any reason to wear anything that's been purchased in the last decade during a demo job—until now. Don't get me wrong. When I'm walking around my customers' houses, I try to keep a workmanlike, yet professional, appearance. So, I decided to try out a button-down shirt from RIGGS Workwear for demo, and I'm glad I did. Demo is sweat-factory work. Wearing the long-sleeve RIGGS layer over a short-sleeve layer kept me cool (okay, cooler) and as free of debris as possible during total rip-out. And the cotton fabric is rugged but not stiff, so I can move (www.RiggsWorkWear.com).
No matter what you decide to sheath your body in during demo jobs, it's important to remember to wear eye protection and gloves. You never know what might fling back at you while you are tearing the walls down. And get good dust masks while you're at it.
Ripped and wrecked. The other new tool on the project was a set of three Demo Dawg wrecking bars (www.DemoDawg.com). If you've used wrecking bars, you'll know that not all perform the same. The bars from Demo Dawg have sharp, wide and flat prying heads that are ideal for plunging behind trim or into plaster and lath, enabling the wide head to release a large swath of plaster for faster progress.
Bag it. Ever since I read a book about trash—Gone Tomorrow, The Hidden Life of Garbage—my first inclination is to use anything re-usable. It's not necessarily because of global warming, it's just that I don't like adding to the growing pile of waste on the planet. On this job I didn't have the option of renting a dumpster. Instead, I had to bag up the detritus and lug it out like Santa doing sidework. I suggest using DemoBags (www.DemoBags.com). They're re-usable, bulletproof, and—I like this—even when you have to dump them, they decay at a much faster rate (according to the company) than your basic black plastic deals. Sweet.
After I had the right work gear, the right tools, and a place to put all of the debris, it was time to start the fun part: Shredding the room back to block.
Starting with the walls and then moving to the ceiling, I ripped the decaying plaster to its final resting place inside the trash bags. The ceiling was a special case. It's the only place that had insulation in the house (rock wool packed the bays) so instead of taking it all down (and taking a shower in rock wool) I left the lath but took the plaster. The best tool for the job was a simple, square edged garden spade. While perched on a rolling scaffold, I was able to delaminate the plaster from the lath with no damage—while saving the existing insulation.
The last step for demo was to rip up floor boards (there was no subfloor here) to gain access to the floor joist bays for insulation later on.
Floor-joist Bays. Insulation wasn't a top priority when this house was built a century ago. And while it's much more talked about now, there's still a much-overlooked spot that is a source of heat loss and a cause of cold floors. I'm talking about floor-joist bays along a house's perimeter.
While it's possible to just pack the bays with R-30 fiberglass batts (Tip: It's smart to do this in a basement's joist bays to keep a first floor warmer; I install one batt vertically against the outside wall, then another installed horizontally 24 inches into the bay), instead I chose three layers of Dow R-11 rigid Styrofoam. This saved time, because I didn't have to remove very many floor boards. I could also adhere the rigid cubes to the block wall and then seal around them with DAP low-expanding foam. And where I had to sneak the chase through the existing floor system, I could put half a layer of foam (you can halve the pieces using a handsaw—I use a Stiletto brand for this; it's awesome) to get an R-5-ish panel. That'll help knock down cold air without sacrificing too many cubic inches of airflow. Then I stuffed the joist bay on the interior side of the chase. This really sealed up the joists nicely.
Along the wall running parallel with the joists, I was able to rip more sheets of Styrofoam into pieces I could wedge between a joist that was about an inch off the block. I then sealed off this area with Great Stuff spray foam. There'd be no way I could stuff fiberglass down in this gap, and if I sprayed it entirely with Great Stuff (which would have worked) it would have taken a long time and a zillion cans of goop.
Sound work. Between adjoining rooms, I ripped sheets of Styrofoam at full thickness to fit between the studs. I could have used sound deadening batts, but there were a couple of challenges: First, the bays were a full 2-by-3 so the batts (at 3-1/2 inches) would have been slightly overstuffed. Second, studs (like the floor joists) were randomly spaced so each panel had to be cut. Sawing through the rigid panels is a snap, so they went in quickly and snugly.
I was left with all kinds of cut-offs from the rigid foam, so I used them over windows and in other areas instead of batts. Nothing went to waste, which I like.
In essence, I was building a new room from scratch, so I framed just as if I were building a new house by pulling all of my layout lines from one corner.
Framing was pretty straightforward. The only thing to point out is that instead of tripled-up framing in the corners to create a nailing surface for drywall, I use "chicken ladders"—blocking cut like ladder rungs—to create the nailing surface and a cavity I could insulate (wood is not a great insulator).
But, because I had to weave in an HVAC return chase through the existing floor joists (spaced randomly), I paid special attention to where the chase laid out and moved studs accordingly to save myself backpedaling later on.
Also, I had to be sure none of the new electrical ran through the planned HVAC chase, so I made sure to lay out all of these plans well ahead of time with my electrician.
Scheduling is critical on every project. It's hard to avoid surprises, but it's also important to try to make a master schedule so work is completed when it makes sense, and is scheduled at a point when it's easiest for each trade to complete their work. That's why I felt lucky when my electrician was able to do the rough-in before I started full-bore insulation. And I know he appreciates that he could just go ahead and pull all the wires and place all the device boxes without having to wire around insulation. Not only would that have made him feel less pleased with me as a client, the hassle would jump up his hours, and my bill, too.
After the electrical was roughed-in, packing the bays with R-13 fiberglass batts was a snap.
Don't squeeze me in. Insulation is supposed to be fluffy, not vacuum-sealed into the walls. If you cram it in, you'll get lower thermal performance. It's the air pockets inside the pink fluffy matter—not the pick fluffy stuff itself—that really does the work of trapping heat, and keeping your house at your desired temperature. Compressing the insulation chokes off layers of those little air pockets. To keep the insulation fluffy in these bedroom walls, I carefully notched it around electrical devices rather than simply stuffing the full batts around a box or around any blocking. For wires, it's best to slice the insulation up the middle and wrap the wire (like a sandwich) rather than jam it behind—or in front of—the wire.
I reached for my hammer tacker to secure the paper ears on the batts of insulation to the surrounding framing. It's important not to move randomly around the batt, and to start at a fixed point when affixing the insulation. I like to start at the top and work my way down. This way the batt doesn't sag while I'm tacking it in place, preventing a possible gap between the top of the stud bay and bottom of the top plate.
I like to hang rock myself when possible and profitable. The main benefit is that I can control the amount of bulk material moving through a home while—hopefully—avoiding any possible damage to other finished spaces along the way.
Finishing the drywall is another story. While I'm pretty good at getting a nice smooth seamless-looking finish, my subs can do an impeccable job somewhere on the order of a thousand times faster and better than I can. And using subs doesn't hurt my bottom line at all. I'm freed-up to move other parts of my projects forward, so in the end, I actually save money on the job by working at high-efficiency.
Insulating walls is great, but if the windows are leaking like sieves, you've still got huge energy problems and an investment into a Swiss cheese palace.
So, the last phase of tightening the building seal is replacing the two windows with new vinyl replacements. I've picked out a window with a Low-E coating and argon gas between the glass. Instead of bright white, I'm going for Simonton's new Driftwood color, which will give a nice contrast tot the eventual high-gloss white trim around the windows. And while the windows will save energy costs throughout the year, they also have the neat upgrade not included in the originals—they can stay open without any special rigging. | {

Instead of PasteID, each text pastes is stored as a hash like SHA3.
This will allow for multiple pastebin website clones to be linked together with a single reference to a file. If a file is not found in one webserver, it can ask around for reference to that file (before showing it and then caeching it).
Popular paste can be auto syncronised to other HashBins (some behind anonymity networks like tor), increasing resiliency against server takedowns.
If phone to phone mesh network become capable enough (instead of being artifically limited at the moment by phone makers), then apps can be created that can speak the same 'hashbin' syncing protocols. This will allow for accessing textfiles (and maybe small images like SVG diagrams), off other nearby phones via a 'hashbin' QR code (e.g. a hidden wifi mesh node acting as an offline hashbin repository).
where URN = Uniform Resource Name, and AS = acceptable fallback source. | {

A vulture of great size, they can reach up to one metre in length and exceed 10Kg in weight, with large and wide wings with a wingspan of approximately 3 metres. It is considered the largest bird of prey of the Palearctic. The dominant colour is dark brown, close to black when they are young, which lightens with age. They have a characteristic dark plumage on their head which gives them the appearance of a monk giving them their name monachus. Although they have a large and robust beak, and strong talons with long fingers, they primarily consume small to medium sized prey which allows them to manipulate and tear apart the hard parts of the carcass (muscular and cartilaginous tissue).
Habitat: in Spain they select forestall habitats in which they can nest and form lenient colonies. In the appropriate areas of abrupt orography they can reach high densities, with the nests being less than 150m apart. The nests are located preferably in mature woodlands on the top third of the mountainside on pine trees, junipers and holm oaks, from where they can make the most of air currents to access and leave the nests. They are constructed by both adults using large branches and they can reach great volume and weight reaching two metres in diameter and surpassing the metre in height. From the colonies they access the feeding grounds which are quite far away; although rarely exceeding the 45km range, they can reach distances further than 80km. They frequent open areas of the plateau, but also visit semi mountainous regions and grasslands.
Nutrition: Their diet is based primarily on rabbits and domestic livestock (preferably sheep), as well as wild ungulates (wild boar and deer); it varies depending on the availability of these in the area of influence of the colony and the time of year.
Daily trophic needs: Between 500-656g of carcass/day. It is estimated that the annual requirement of a breeding adult is around 300kg.
Reproduction: long-living species, with a low annual reproduction rate and high survival rate as adults. The reproductive cycle is very long, starting with courtship in January, and the preparation of the nest in February. They just lay one egg, normally at the beginning of March, and incubation lasts 57 days. The chicks' development and stay in the nest lasts for more than three months, finally leaving between August to early October. The period of dependency of the young birds is long, feeding has been seen as late as the end of autumn, little before the start of a new mating season.
Monotypic species, are discontinuously distributed around the southern Palearctic, from Iberia, the Balearic Isles, southern France (where it has been reintroduced), eastern Balkans (Greece and Macedonia), Turkey, Caucasus Mountains, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and possibly southeast of Kashmir to the south of Siberia, Mongolia and north-eastern China. Part of the population spends their winters in the southern Middle East, southern Pakistan, northern India, Nepal and a small number in eastern China and Korea. In Spain, the reproductive communities are found in several mountainous systems in the southeast of the Peninsula, and in the north of the island of Mallorca. Recently it's being successfully reintroduced in the Pyrenees around Lerida. The main colonies are found along the banks of the Robazo in the Tajo River, Sierra Los Ibores and Monfragüe in Caceres, Sierra de Hornachos in Badajoz, mountains off Toledo, Cabaneros, Sierra Canalizos and Umbria in the Alcudia Valley in Ciudad Real, towards the south in the Andalusian sierra of Hornachuelos, sierra Pelada, sierra in Andujar and northern mountains of Seville. In Catile & Leon it is present in the south of the region, on the northern slopes of the central range, with colonies in the Carpetanos Hills and sierra de Guadarrama in Segovia, western ranges and central Range in sierra de Gredos in Avila and in Sierra de Quilamas, Alagon river and north of the Sierra de Gata in Salamanca.
The global population has been estimated at 7.200-10.000 pairs, of which some 5.500-8.800 are in Asia and 1.700-1.900 are in Europe. Spain has the largest population in Europe with around 1.500 pairs, 287 of those are found in southern Castile and Leon.
The two major threats faced by the species in Europe are direct mortality primarily caused by the use of poisoned lures targeted for the extermination of predators, and the decrease in the availability of food, due to the effect of different epizootics in rabbit populations, and more recently, the disappearance of livestock carcasses due to the application of European Union legislation regarding the removal of dead animals. However, the recently approved statute with regard to this should ease and revert the situation. | {

Canadian officials, families honour Flight PS752 victims on third anniversary
January 9, 2023, 11:25 a.m.
Grieving friends and relatives of victims killed during the downing of Flight PS752 called for justice and accountability from the Iranian regime as Canadians from coast to coast marked three years since the country's military shot the plane down. At a highly-emotional and politically-charged ceremony in North Toronto, The Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims remembered those lost in the crash while condemning the Islamic Republic of Iran's human rights violations. | {

Kimolos is a volcanic mountainous island with lots of white cliffs, breathtaking landscapes, natural caves and secluded sandy beaches. The islands economy depends on the export of chalk and fishing to some extent.
Tourism isn't as developed in Kimolos as in the rest of the Greek islands and hence it is a getaway destination for those who prefer peace and quiet. | {

Aziz Pabani W'13 interned at Sabunta in Lagos, Nigeria
2012-2013 Startup Internship Award winner, supported by the Wharton Entrepreneurship Advisory Board
I worked at Sabunta over the summer in Lagos, Nigeria. Sabunta is a Rocket Internet portfolio company and is an online fashion retailer of apparel, shoes, and accessories. Rocket Internet was a company I had followed for some time and I found the internship by applying directly through the Rocket Internet website, though I was also lucky enough to meet a recruiter on campus about a month after my application. Entrepreneurship is what I'm most passionate about so I particularly wanted to work at a small, very early stage startup, both so I could be involved in a position of greater responsibility and so that I could see the business grow from scratch.
Any startup is a roller coaster ride and an e-commerce startup in Nigeria was the epitome of one. When I first reached Nigeria, I was only the second person on the ground. We were still a month away from launch so it was a great foray into the toil and hard work that go into launching a business from the ground up. By the time I left at the end of the summer, the company had grown to 70 employees, was in a brand new office, and the only remnants of these early days were the memories that stuck with us.
The early weeks were spent trying to get some marketing and publicity going for the business. Setting up various social media initiatives, putting in place content guidelines, trying to reach out to local bloggers and fashion media outlets, getting in touch with local publications, and trying to create our own content was all part of this push. As a result we were able to collect a fair number of signups even before we launched and there was definitely a big buzz on the local tech scene about Sabunta's launch.
The next part of my summer was spent with the purchasing team (all two of us) trying to sign up local suppliers, distributors of international brands, and high profile Nigerian fashion designers. A lot of cold calling, tapping into all our networks, attending fashion shows and trying to make connections, and hours of Google searches were all part of the game. Once we had a meeting; negotiations on prices, payment terms, procurement, and inventory storage options were all obstacles that had to be overcome, as well as the biggest one of them all: the fact that shopping online was a revolutionary new concept, and brands still weren't convinced that e-commerce was for them.
They say you wear many hats at a startup and that cliché almost always held true for me. Our big push with suppliers had started bearing results, and we realized we had no real way of getting these products online. So I set about trying to create the production department, recruiting photographers, sourcing high end studio equipment, setting up relationships with modeling agencies, and trying to establish best practices, all while remotely coordinating with our South African sister company on established guidelines and practices that result in high conversion rates. This was also a time we were stretched to capacity from a human resource point of view and we had to go to Lagos Business School and recruit some of their top graduates as well as first year MBA interns to staff up our teams and increase efficiency. Up till now, most work had also been about setting up structures and putting the processes in place, and now attention shifted more towards improving efficiencies and tracking production rates, as well as implementing a profitability drive across the firm.
The final part of my summer was spent trying to implement new processes for the operations team. The number of orders we were doing were growing by the day and fulfillment was lagging pretty far behind. I had previously worked on setting up our inbound logistics, and now was trying to connect it to the warehousing and outbound functions, all while building an in-house customer service operation and looping it to connect with all of these functions. The operations task was incredibly challenging but one that absolutely had to be revamped to manage the large order quantities we were doing as well as keep excess capacity as week-on-week sales kept showing incredible growth rates.
Trying to set up an e-commerce company in a developing country requires a fair amount of innovation and thinking outside the box. Nigeria was a country more renowned for internet scams than online shopping and very few people were willing to use their credit card details online so excellent customer service and cash-on-delivery payment mechanisms were a must. Logistics were another hassle and traffic in Lagos was probably the worst I've ever seen, which meant we had to ditch our rather unreliable logistics partner and build our own delivery team complete with a motorcycle fleet and a mobile warehouse. All part of a day's work at a startup.
Also, working in Nigeria was an incredible opportunity and it was great to discover the business potential in a country that few ever visit. While it is certainly plagued by the usual developing country problems of poor infrastructure, unnecessary bureaucratic hassles, and a general unease in doing business; for those who are willing to work hard to overcome these obstacles, the potential is enormous. Nigeria is Africa's largest and fastest growing population, and one of its biggest economies. It dominates the West African economic and cultural landscape but for those willing to look beyond Nigeria (I also had a chance to travel to Benin and Togo), the entire West African region is one that is often overlooked, even by other Africans, and an area that is ripe for development.
As far as startups go though, the one thing I'd say to anyone interested in an entrepreneurial career would be to have incredible hustle, and keep trying harder no matter the adversity. It's certainly something that helps in finding cool startups and landing positions with them, but it's even more useful if you're interested in doing you own startup. I'm perhaps too young to be dispensing advice but would love to chat with anyone interested in entrepreneurship and startups and feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] | {

Q: Terminal commandline basics
Sometimes, actually, it's lowercase. Other times, it has someone else's login. Like it'll be "jdoe" for some reason. Why does it change like that? This is my work computer, if that explains anything. Thanks!

Saturday, July 25th, was our drive to Denver day. Sam and Ben and Bethany and Kyle sat towards the front of the van and we talked about our favorite and least favorite things about all the schools, at least seven, that we've been to in the past eight years of school life, as we drove through the pine tree green mountains.
We always stop in Grand Junction, that's where my father's father lived on a corn farm. I lectured the kids on rest stop safety and Rob assured me that the unsavory types hanging out by the restrooms were my cousins.
Back on the road we passed out sandwiches with ham and ham without sandwiches, and cookies and cheese sticks and listened to Bob Dylan on the ipod. I love passing through Vail and all the mountain towns and winding up to the summit and then driving down in to Denver. We have good travellers.
Saturday evening we walked with Grandma to one of Denver's many delicious and authentic Mexican restaraunts. It was sprinkling as we walked back to the motel. We got back in the van and drove a few blocks to where my Annie (my sister) and Eric live. Thier little red house has a crop of sunflowers outside so enticing that some stranger was out front picking them in the rain that was pouring down when we arrived. It was a fun reunion. We exchanged gifts. The boys showed off their movies. Everyone played with the dogs. The cats hid, of course.
Sunday morning we went to church and then took a drive to the LDS temple.
We drove around Littleton, where Rob went to middle school and ninth grade. Returning is important to us.
We went back to the motel to finish up the left over travel-food for lunch. Sam and Ben went for a walk with Grandma to check out the views of Elitch Gardens...Monday's adventure.
In the evening we met Annie and played at an elementary school with a great playground and then went to another delicious Mexican restaurunt for dinner, Eric met us too. | {

Las Vegas Prepared to Survive Coronavirus
Exhibit City News
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is prepared to take a hit financially from a downturn in business due to concerns about the deadly coronavirus, while the potential number of upcoming event cancellations remains unknown, Chief Executive Officer Steve Hill says.
On Wednesday, March 11, the National Association of Broadcasters announced that its annual convention in Las Vegas is off in April because of the coronavirus. The convention drew about 91,000 attendees in 2019.
"In the interest of addressing the health and safety concerns of our stakeholders and in consultation with partners throughout the media and entertainment industry, we have decided not to move forward with NAB Show in April," Gordon Smith, president of the trade group, wrote in a letter to attendees. " We are currently considering a number of potential alternatives to create the best possible experience for our community."
The LVCVA is abiding by Southern Nevada Health District guidelines in protecting employees and customers, Hill said at the March 10 regular meeting of the LVCVA Board of Directors.
ConExpo-Con/Agg (pictured above), North America's largest construction tradeshow with 129,000 estimated attendance, continues March 10-14 at Las Vegas Convention Center.
The NFL Draft is still on for April 23-25 with some 400,000 projected to show up for the three-day event. The LVCVA approved a $2.4 million budget to host the draft, and the NFL continues to monitor the situation.
Hill praised Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, Clark County commissioners and the health district and health providers for keeping Las Vegas safe and tempering fears about visiting the city and conducting corporate meetings, conventions and tradeshows.
"Fortunately, we've had time to prepare for this and we've made the most of that time," Hills says. His staff has been on conference calls with travel partners around the globe, and managers are working closely with employees on health and safety recommendations.
From a budgetary perspective, there's going to be a reduction in revenue over the next couple of months, Hill admits. But the authority is taking steps to mitigate those losses.
"We came into the situation with a pretty significant surplus. We will continue to look at reducing costs everywhere it's appropriate to do so," the CEO says.
"It's a challenging time, no question, and it hit quickly," Hill continues. "We saw the impact on business happen very fast."
Hill said there's been some "pullback" at ConExpo-Con/Agg, though nothing has been confirmed. "We're still expecting strong attendance, but anecdotal evidence from hotel properties indicates there are some cancellations," he says.
ConExpo-Con/Agg is held every three years in Las Vegas, and it takes more than a month to deliver and set up the massive construction equipment for more than 2,300 exhibitors at Las Vegas Convention Center and Festival Grounds.
LVCVA has instituted every recommendation from Southern Nevada Health District, the Centers for Disease Control and other sources to protect people from the virus. It has doubled and tripled cleaning efforts, and it has asked employees to stay home if they're sick.
Board member and Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman says now's the time for the state, local municipalities and the tourism agency to join forces and show that Las Vegas is still the entertainment capital of the world. She urged Hill to spend "every cent we can afford" on promoting the destination.
"The media is absolutely destroying us," Goodman says. "This fear has overtaken the world. We have to be proactive or the media will bury us."
She quoted President Franklin Roosevelt's 1933 inaugural address: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
The economic repercussions from the spread of coronavirus are not the same as those from the Great Recession, which lasted from 2007 to 2009, Hill notes. Health officials predict that warmer weather will have a dampening effect on the virus.
"If that's true, this will be short term," Hill says. "The impact during that time will be pretty significant. We don't know exactly what the numbers will be, but it will be meaningful."

Glasgow's beloved Botanic Gardens has been a favourite place of relaxation and recreation for residents and visitors to the city since it opened in its current location in the west end back in 1842.
And it's been the site of many a notable moment in Glasgow history, with ex Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli giving his University of Glasgow address there in 1873, the Suffragettes letting off a bomb there in 1914 and, in more recent years, Belle and Sebastian playing a free concert there in 2004.
Yet there's a forgotten moment in the history of the Botanic Gardens, one that involved the King and Queen partaking in their own form of 'royal relaxation' within the confines of the gardens, beneath ground level, away from the world to see.
That's because in September 1917, King George and Queen Mary spent three nights in a tunnel under the gardens on board the Royal Train between (the now long defunct) Botanic Gardens and Kirklee Stations.
With Britain at the time in the grips of the First World War, the royals came to Glasgow on a morale boosting three-day mission to visit the shipyards and industrial plants of the city - at a time when industrial unrest on 'Red' Clydeside was at its height.
The visit to the city also saw the King participate in an open air Investiture Ceremony at Ibrox, where he conferred knighthoods on local dignitaries and awarded war medals to soldiers and their families (the first time such a feat had happened in Scotland since 1603) in front of thousands of spectators.
And for security reasons, they used Kirklee Station as their headquarters, where they would leave from and return to while touring the city in their royal limousine, prior to the royal train being shunted into the tunnel under the gardens during the night with the King and Queen on board.
Rumour has it that the train was closely guarded at both ends by a detachment of soldiers of the Glasgow Highlanders (9th Highland Light Infantry) who had their HQ next to Glasgow Green.
At the time the station was closed to passengers, due to financial constraints imposed on the country during the war, and wouldn't reopen again to the public until March of 1919.
The royal couple would return to Glasgow in 1933 on the royal train, to open the King George V Graving Dock, which was opened to accommodate larger vessels then beginning to service the Clyde.
While Kirklee Station was permanently to passengers on 1 May 1939, with the line being closed on 5 October 1964. | {

Un viaje inesperado es una película para Lifetime Television estrenada en 2004, protagonizada por Mary-Louise Parker, Zac Efron, Bubba Lewis, y Aidan Quinn.
Sinopsis
En un flashback, una madre soltera, Corrine Morgan-Thomas (Mary-Louise Parker) lleva a sus hijos mellizos Stephen (Jake Cherry) y Philip (Jeremy Shada), de siete años de edad, a la consulta del médico y se entera de que tienen autismo. Philip simplemente repite lo que oye decir a otros, mientras que Stephen es completamente no verbal. Después de salir de la clínica en un estado de ánimo muy alterado, se va de compras al supermercado con los niños. Su visita al supermercado no es agradable, ya que sus dos hijos comienzan a gritar por toda la tienda y Stephen hasta se orina encima, haciendo que todos les miren. Al enterarse de su condición, su novio la deja porque sabe que criar mellizos con dicha discapacidad, es muy difícil.
Corrine se traslada con sus hijos a otra ciudad, y los inscribe en una escuela pública. Sus compañeros de clase están perplejos por su extraño comportamiento, así como sus maestros. A Corrine le dicen entonces, en una reunión con el director y varios psiquiatras que no son aptos para la escuela pública, y que serán enviado a una escuela especializada. Entonces el hospital psiquiátrico local envía un terapeuta para a su casa con el fin de enseñar a los niños las habilidades básicas del lenguaje y prepararlos para la sociedad normal. Con su ayuda y apoyo, el vocabulario de Philip se expande, y Stephen dice su primera palabra, "pizza".
Después de terminar con la enseñanza de los niños, el psiquiatra se traslada a otra ciudad para trabajar con otras familias. A lo largo de varios años, los niños florecen verbal, social y académicamente. Sin embargo, algunas de sus características autistas siguen siendo, ya que tienen un poco nasal, voces robóticas, participar en los hábitos de auto-lesión, y son muy sensibles a los ruidos fuertes y repentinos. También tienen una obsesión con Rocky Desde Rocky películas. En su primer día de escuela secundaria, Stephen (Zac Efron) se enamora de una chica llamada Jennifer (Alicia Morton). Mientras conversa con Philip (Bubba Lewis) en el cuarto de baño, Stephen habla de Jennifer y dice: "Tal vez ella pueda ser mi novia". Otro chico, mayor con el pelo largo, se burla de Stephen y lo empuja, lo que hace que ambos empiecen a gritar y a llorar.
El profesor de educación especial de los chicos llama a Corrine al trabajo para que vaya a la escuela. Ésta convence a los chicos de salir del cuarto de baño e ir a almorzar. En el almuerzo, Jennifer decide sentarse con ellos. Stephen ve a varios corredores en el pasillo y decide unirse al equipo de Cross Country. Antes de la carrera, Stephen ve a Jennifer besar a otro chico. Stephen está dolido y confuso. Corrine encuentra a Stephen sentado en el césped con cara triste y ve un poema de amor en sus manos que Stephen escribió para Jennifer. Entonces, Stephen se da cuenta de que tiene que seguir adelante. Gana la primera carrera que corre y Philip entra en una escuela especial de música tocando la guitarra, un talento recién descubierto, a través del teléfono. Entonces Corrine crea la Fundación Miracle Run para la investigación sobre el autismo. Stephen da un discurso acerca de cómo su madre le ayudó a él y a su hermano con su autismo.

Robert Schnurmann (* 2. August 1904 in Stuttgart; † 1. April 1995) war ein deutsch-britischer Chemiker.
Leben und Tätigkeit
Schnurmann war ein Sohn des Kaufmanns Jacob Schnurmann und seiner Frau Elsa, geb. Frank. In seiner Kindheit besuchte Schnurmann die Vorschule, eine Reformschule in Heidehof in Stuttgart und das Reformrealgymnasium in Stuttgart, das er zu Ostern 1922 mit der Reifeprüfung verließ.
Ab dem Sommersemester 1922 studierte Schnurmann an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät in Heidelberg. Das Wintersemester 1922/1923 verbrachte er an der Universität Frankfurt, wo er sich mit Physik, Chemie und Mathematik befasste, um im Sommersemester 1923 nach Göttingen zu wechseln. 1927 promovierte Schnurmann mit einer von Alfred Coehn betreuten Arbeit über Raumladungen in Elektrolyten. Anschließend war er beim Institut für physikalische Chemie in Göttingen beschäftigt.
Von 1930 bis 1933 war Schnurmann Assistent von Otto Stern am Institut für physikalische Chemie der Hamburger Universität.
Nach dem Machtantritt der Nationalsozialisten im Frühjahr 1933 wurde Schnurmann aufgrund seiner – nach nationalsozialistischer Definition – jüdischen Abstammung zum 31. Juli 1933 gemäß den Bestimmungen des Gesetzes zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums aus dem Staatsdienst entlassen.
1935 fand Schnurmann eine Anstellung am Institut de physique de l'Ecole technique supérieure Royale in Stockholm. 1937 wechselte er an das Physical Chemistry Laboratory in Cambridge. Anschließend war er von 1939 bis 1942 für das Research Laboratory der London Midland and Scottish Railway Company in Derby tätig.
Von den nationalsozialistischen Polizeiorganen wurde Schnurmann nach seiner Emigration als Staatsfeind eingestuft. Im Frühjahr 1940 setzte das Reichssicherheitshauptamt in Berlin ihn auf die Sonderfahndungsliste G.B., ein Verzeichnis von Personen, die der NS-Überwachungsapparat als besonders gefährlich oder bedeutend ansah, weshalb sie im Falle einer erfolgreichen Invasion und Besetzung der britischen Inseln durch die Wehrmacht von den Besatzungstruppen nachfolgenden Sonderkommandos der SS mit besonderer Priorität ausfindig gemacht und verhaftet werden sollten.
In den Jahren 1943 bis 1956 war Schnurmann Chefphysiker am Physics Department der Mamcnehster Oil Refinery Ltd. Später war er für die Esso Research Ltd. in Abingdon in Berks tätig.
Ab 1963 lehrte Schnurmann als Lecturer am Department of Chemical Engineering der University of Birmingham. 1975 wurde er emeritiert.
197 wurde Schnurmann Honorary Research Fellow des Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham
Schriften
Freie Raumladungen in Elektrolyten, 1927.
On the Size of Gas Bubbles in Liquids, 1943.
Familie
Schnurmann heiratete am 22. Dezember 1938 in Derby Aina Ingeborg Nordqvist.

Kodak to Cut Even More Jobs
Posted on September 7, 2012 by Harrison Barnes in Bankruptcy, Other Industry Layoffs with No Comments on Kodak to Cut Even More Jobs
Kodak is name that many of your may know, but when you think about the company does a lot. Or at least they used to. The company is getting ready to cut back on its business operations in order to become a more profitable operation. Here is a look at how the company has chosen to describe itself, "As the world's foremost imaging innovator, Kodak helps consumers, businesses, and creative professionals unleash the power of pictures and printing. If you can see yourself in our vision, Kodak is the place for you."
Sadly the company is getting ready to make about 400 job cuts. 300 of the job cuts will come from various operations around the world. Then there are the cuts to the USA. The remaining 100 cuts are set to come from workers in the city of Rochester, triggering a mass layoff action. For those of you who are not familiar with the idea of a mass layoff action here is a look at how the federal government defines the term, "The Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program collects reports on mass layoff actions that result in workers being separated from their jobs. Monthly mass layoff numbers are from establishments which have at least 50 initial claims for unemployment insurance (UI) filed against them during a 5-week period. Extended mass layoff numbers (issued quarterly) are from a subset of such establishments—where private sector nonfarm employers indicate that 50 or more workers were separated from their jobs for at least 31 days."
These cuts are part of a larger plan by the company to recover from the fiscal problems that led them to file for Chapter 11 recently, "Eastman Kodak Company today outlined its next steps toward a successful emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization as a company primarily focused on commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions and enterprise services. Accordingly, the company has initiated sale processes for its market-leading Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses… In accordance with its prior announcement, the company is continuing discussions with parties with respect to the potential sale of its digital imaging patent portfolio. The company reiterates that it has made no decision to sell the portfolio and Kodak may, in consultation with creditors, retain the portfolio as an alternative source of recovery for creditors."
Sadly this is not the first time that the company has resorted to layoffs in order to cut back on its expenses. For those of you who missed out on our coverage of earlier layoffs by the company here is an excerpt from that coverage that will get you up to speed in no time at all, "The Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester New York has announced that it will be conducting more layoffs in June. The company which has been in bankruptcy, had been planning to let go 91 employees in late June, but another forty-one are to be laid as well, a week later, and from three of their locations." And this was only one in several rounds of previous layoffs.

U.S. Smoking Rate Reaches Record Low
by: Joshua Baughn
The percentage of Americans who smoke has reached its lowest level since a Gallup poll began asking people in 1944.
Only 16% of Americans say they smoked a cigarette last week. The biggest decrease in smoking is among 18 to 29 year olds. It fell from 22% in 2015 to 15%. The age group with the highest percentage of smokers is 50-64 at 24%. When Gallup first began asking this question, more than 4 of 10 Americans said they smoked.
ABC has announced its new lineup for the 2019-2020 TV season! Three new scripted series will debut in the fall – dramas Emergence and Stumptown; and the black-ish comedy spinoff mixed-ish. ABC has also picked up a new iteration of Kids Say the Darndest Things, hosted and executive produced by Tiffany Haddish.
Top shows like Grey's Anatomy, A Million Little Things, The Good Doctor and the No. 1 new comedy, The Conners, along with the highly anticipated 11th and final season of Modern Family are also returning this fall. New dramas The Baker and the Beauty and For Life, along with the new comedy, United We Fall, will debut mid-season. Please note that shows picked up to series but not listed on the schedule below will debut later in the 2019-2020 season. ABC's fall prime-time schedule and premiere dates are as follows:

Classic Chicken Soup becomes colorful and interesting by adding chunks of sweet potato. Sweet, salty and savory, give this Classic Chicken Soup with Sweet Potatoes a try.
Under the weather? Feeling puny? Classic Chicken soup …a cure for the common cold? Could be, and it sure defines a comforting meal for any Winter evening. The aromas alone are enough to soothe the soul and the hot broth make any scratchy throat feel better.
A steamy bowl of vitamin-packed vegetables swimming in a savory broth alongside chunks of chicken and floating herbs and spices and you've got a classic easy homemade soup.
Years ago, I learned to add small chunks of sweet potatoes to make the combination even more interesting. Did you know that a sweet potato is a member of the bindweed, morning glory family? Makes sense since we plant these beautiful vines in our Summer patio pots and hanging baskets. It's a vigorous grower and makes a big splash. You can eat the tubers from these plants, but the texture and flavor won't be as good as commercially grown plants used for produce that you'll find in our markets.
With that said, let's take a look at this healthy soup recipe.
I hope you give this version of Classic Chicken Soup a try, and if you do, please come back and give the recipe a star rating. And please leave a comment about your experience with this recipe.
And if you have a favorite version of chicken soup, let me know, I'd love to give it a try.
The ultimate comfort food. Adding chunks of sweet potato makes this classic Chicken and Vegetable Soup even more interesting with flavor.
In fry pan, saute chicken breasts in olive oil until almost done. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil in a large sauce pot over medium heat. Saute onion, carrots, celery, sweet potato and parsnips for 2 minutes to enhance the natural sugar in them.
Add the stock and bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Add the fresh minced parsley and spices. Season with salt and pepper.
Add in shredded chicken and serve.
Classic Chicken Soup with Sweet Potatoes …It's what's for Dinner.
Yum! This looks so good Lea Ann. I love the addition of tarragon and sweet potato.
Comfort food is right! but I've never put a sweet potato in mine….great idea, Lea Ann!
Love the bowl Lea Ann. So pretty.
This sounds souper! 🙂 You know, I've been tempted to add sweet potato to my chicken noodle soup, but was never sure if it "went" with it. I'm going to try it next time. And dill seed? Never cooked with it – what an interesting spice to try next time as well. I love reading your versions of stuff. And I'm smitten with your cracker dish.
I toss whatever veggies I have into chicken soup. Summer squash that was frozen at it's peak, has turned out to be surprisingly good.
Looks really good Lea Ann and just this morning a medical preson was telling that chicken soup has been proven to provide some positive impacts when you're ailing – I'd heard this before.
YUM! I love homemade soup! My grandma always made us a caldo de pollo when we were sick. Sometimes I faked being sick just so that she could make it for me. Naughty. LOL!
Love, love it! I cannot think of anything more comforting than a bowl of hot chicken soup. Yours looks wonderful.
I feel like the comforting chicken soup EXPERIENCE is a cure for the common cold. This looks great!
I love chicken soup throughout the winter, mostly because if we aren't sick, we probably will be soon! It's a great, comforting soup.
I totally agree Kristen. Thanks for stopping by and the comment.
There is nothing quite as comforting as a warm bowl of chicken soup. Yours is perfect.
The sweet potato is a new trick to me, I like that idea for the color AND nutrients it brings.
I threw in a sweet potato a few years ago because I needed to use it. It's become part of my recipe now. | {

Apple's legal team just received some new ammunition against unlicensed patent users as the USPTO on Wednesday issued a series of patents to the Cupertino based firm. Among the patents issued was one that was filed by Apple for the use of finger gestures on the original Apple iPhone as a replacement for buttons and a stylus. Apple notes that the use of a finger that could be tracked on the touchscreen of a portable multifunction device could help in displaying and managing lists.
Apple's patent filing mentions how some mobile communications devices can end up being swamped by buttons, or manufactured with buttons that control a number of different functions, or controlled with the use of a complex menu system. Apple noted that the use of these tools could result in the user having to memorize certain key sequences in order to store or retrieve information. In its filing, the tech giant also notes that some portable devices use a stylus to manage a list. But the problem with that is because the screen is designed to use the pinpoint edge of the stylus, it won't work with a thicker fingertip.
On the image below, provided courtesy of Patently Apple, you can see on the left, the diagram from Apple's patent filing that shows how the company envisioned displaying and managing a favorite contacts list on an iPhone. To the right is a screenshot of an Apple iPod Touch showing the patent in operation.
Another patent awarded to Apple, 8,090,767, covers how the portable hard drive capabilities of the Apple iPod Touch was eventually carried over to the Apple iPhone. The latter did not have the functionality of being used as a portable hard drive from the get go, which is something that the iPod Touch was capable of almost immediately upon its launch.

did they just not patent it? because otherwise apple did it first if they got the patent… but if htc decided not to patent it then that is fully expected

TouchFlo (and HTC Touch) are announced after the original iPhone was originally announced. A few months later.

Yippee, more lawsuits courtesy of APPLE are just around the corner - and, do not forget to patent the power key or rather how one presses it to turn the power off.

The_Miz, u got issues and most of iFans, it's ppl like you that makes the rest of use Apple fans sound stupid, brainwashed and simply...... STUPID, what do you get by defending Apple? I love Apple and some of their products, but me defending them and letting them stop innovation is gonna end up hurting me, as the consumer. Plus who will Apple copy now, Let's all face it, there is nothing new that Apple came up with, they took an existing idea and polished it and made it work better (I'm sure that is called innovating) which I believe other manufacturers are doing the same, the difference here is that Apple has loyal fans, that we turn a simple idea from Apple as a "game changing" idea, while other manufacturers come up with game changing ideas we just side line them, I bet you if Android was the one using Siri, it'd have not have received such fame, tech sides would have looked for the bugs and what it doesnt do and so on, because it's Apple's, we side lines all the bugs within Siri, and how easy it is as Apple fans when iPhone has a problem, we just say, well you can work around it.

best thing I have heard from an apple user ever....apple with these lawsuits and patenting things that existed before is not helping anyone but themselves....good thing is that most of these broad and vague and used ideas get thrown out in court....remember the lockscreen patent apple got and everone got scared but when they tried to use on Samsung...guess what the judge didn't have any of apples nonsense with the lockscreen patent.
14. E.N.
If Android didn't receive fame if they received Siri, then blame it on Android for not putting it out there and not make excuses for them. And let's not make Android the only victim of criticism. Whenever iPhone has a problem, it spreads throughout the internet like fire.

They won't because apple have always been scared of microsoft after loosing so many lawsuits against them.

Dear Die Hard, you rock. Especially the part where that dude is on the rooftop. P.S. Do you know Mad Max?

Apple won't sue Windows Phone for the same reason they don't sue the china companies who are making cheap blatent iPhone ripoffs...They aren't a threat yet...

Yes, I'm sure they'll patent the Home button too. The volume toggle on the side in a certain spot. The battery icon and clock at the top. They want to make sure they can sue more companies. Keep it Apple! You'll see your company FALL and hit rock BOTTOM!!
One more thing, have you all noticed that in Apple's legal battles with these other companies, there always seems to be an "ex-Apple" employee that defected to the other company that had "secrets" they shared "supposedly" with that company?

The new United States Patent and Trademark Office Department of Commerce should just change that logo to an American flag made out of an Apple.

Touchscreens have been in development since at least the 60's... there should be absolutely zero patents granted to any company now for touching a screen. People point and gesture naturally around the age of 1; so it's all prior art. | {

Die Travel Air Manufacturing Company war ein US-amerikanischer Flugzeughersteller aus Wichita in Kansas. Das Unternehmen wurde im Januar 1925 von Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech, und Lloyd Stearman gegründet.
Geschichte
Das Unternehmen fertigte anfangs eine Reihe von Sport- und Schuldoppeldeckern mit offenem Cockpit. Dazu gehörten die Modelle A, B, BH und BW, deren Bezeichnungen später geändert wurden. Weitere Modelle umfassten die Hochdecker 5000 und 6000 sowie das Postflugzeug CW/7000.
Modell A unterschied sich nur in kleinen Details vom Modell B. So verfügte sie nicht über die überhängenden Hörner an den Querrudern, die der Fokker D.VII nachempfunden waren und den anderen Modellen der Serie den Spitznamen "Wichita Fokker" einbrachten. Die Modelle B, BH und BW unterschieden sich nur in der Motorisierung. So wurden die Modelle A und B von einem Curtiss OX-5 angetrieben. Im Modell BH war ein Hispano-Suiza 8-Triebwerk verbaut und das Modell BW verfügte über einen Curtiss-Wright-Sternmotor. Später, insbesondere nach der Umbenennung in 4000, wurde das Modell BW auch mit anderen Sternmotoren ausgerüstet.
Neben den Wichita Fokkers, die in Filmen wie Höllenflieger von Howard Hughes eine Rolle spielten, wurde eine D4D mit der Registrierung N434N (eine Version des Modells BW, das in den Farben von Pepsi lackiert war) für Flugshows und zum Himmelsschreiben eingesetzt. Dieses Exemplar ist erhalten geblieben und befindet sich heute im Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center des National Air and Space Museums in Washington, D.C.
Ein zweites Exemplar der D4D mit der Registrierung N343P, die später von Pepsi als Ergänzung und Ersatz zum Originalflugzeug eingesetzt wurde, befindet sich im Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, Kalifornien.
Die Travel Air 5000 war eine Konstruktion von Clyde Cessna, die in kleiner Stückzahl von der Fluglinie National Air Transport eingesetzt wurde. Zwei davon wurden zu Langstreckenflugzeugen in der Art von Charles Lindberghs Spirit of St. Louis umgebaut. Die von Art Goebel geflogene Woolaroc gewann das verhängnisvolle Dole Air Race von Oakland in Kalifornien nach Hawaii, bei dem der Großteil der Teilnehmer über dem Meer spurlos verschwanden oder auf andere Weise ums Leben kamen.
Danach fertigte Travel Air das Modell 6000, einen abgestützten Schulterdecker mit Kabine und fünf bis sechs Sitzen, der für wohlhabende Eigner und den Einsatz bei Fluglinien gedacht war.
1928 betrieb die National Air Transport Maschinen des Modells 6000 auf ihren Post- und Passagierlinien zwischen Chicago und Dallas sowie zwischen Kansas City und New York. Die paraguayische Regierung kaufte zwei Travel Air 6000 während des Chacokriegs für die Transportstaffel ihrer Luftwaffe. Die Flugzeuge erhielten die Registrierungen NC624K und NC9815 und die militärischen Kennungen T-2 und T-5, die später in T-9 umbenannt wurde. Sie wurden während des Konflikts als Ambulanzflugzeuge eingesetzt. Beide Exemplare überstanden den Krieg und verblieben zunächst bei der paraguayischen Luftwaffe. 1945 wurden sie an die erste paraguayische Fluglinie, die Líneas Aéreas de Transporte Nacional (LATN), übergeben und bekamen die zivilen Registrierungen ZP-SEC und ZP-SED. 1947 wurden sie ausgemustert.
Das Modell CH beziehungsweise 7000 war nur wenig erfolgreich und wurde in Alaska als Buschflugzeug für den Transport von Fracht und Passagieren eingesetzt. Im Gegensatz zu den Passagieren saß der Pilot nicht in der Kabine, sondern dahinter in einem offenen Cockpit.
Travel Air fertigte auch eine Reihe von sehr erfolgreichen Rennflugzeugen, die von der Presse aufgrund der Geheimhaltung des Unternehmens Mystery Ships genannt wurden. Die Mystery Ships dominierten den Rennzirkus für mehrere Jahre und hatten den Ruf, schneller als alles zu sein, was das US-Militär zu bieten hatte. Dieser Ruf führte dazu, dass ein Exemplar nach Italien verkauft wurde und als Vorbild für Rennflugzeugkonstruktionen und das Kampfflugzeug Breda Ba.27 diente.
Im August 1929 fusionierte das Unternehmen mit der Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Curtiss-Wright setzte die Fertigung von verschiedenen Travel-Air-Konstruktionen unter anderen Bezeichnungen fort. So wurde aus dem Modell 4000 das Modell 4 und aus dem Modell 6000 das Modell 6. Weitere Modelle mit den Bezeichnungen 8 bis 16, die kurz vor der Einführung standen, wurden unter der Führung von Curtiss-Wright ebenfalls gebaut – so zum Beispiel die Curtiss-Wright CW-12, die in verschiedenen Varianten in südamerikanische Länder verkauft wurde.
Der Mitgründer Walter Beech verließ das Unternehmen kurz nach der Fusion mit Curtiss-Wright.
Women's Air Derby
Im August 1929 wurde das erste Women's Air Derby, auch bekannt als Powder Puff Derby, veranstaltet. Von den zwanzig Teilnehmerinnen flogen sieben ein Flugzeug der Travel Air und Louise Thaden gewann das Rennen von Santa Monica nach Cleveland. Opal Kunz wurde achte. Die anderen fünf Travel-Air-Maschinen wurden von Pancho Barnes, Claire Fahy, Marvel Crosson, Mary von Mack und Blanche Noyes geflogen.
Eine der seltsamen Startbedingungen war, dass die Flugzeuge eine "für Frauen geeignete" Motorleistung haben mussten. Das Flugzeug von Opal Kunz wurde als zu schnell eingestuft, um von einer Frau beherrscht werden zu können. Sie wurde vor die Wahl gestellt, ein anderes Flugzeug zu nutzen oder nicht am Rennen teilzunehmen. Mit der Aussicht auf ein Preisgeld von 25.000 US-Dollar kaufte sie eine Travel Air mit geringerer Motorleistung und startete bei dem Rennen.

"Body Say" Singer Demi Lovato Looks Sexier than Ever Due to Workout and Fitness Dedication
By : Emily Lunardo
Photo credit: Splash News
Demi Lovato, who's currently on tour with friend Nick Jonas, is looking amazing post-breakup with Wilmer Valderrama.
The "Body Say" singer currently has pictures of her circulating the internet that reveal her healthy body in a bright orange bikini. Lovato's look could be attributed to her many boxing classes, along with the other workouts she's been doing for her tour.
But Lovato wasn't always as confident as her hit single would suggest. A few years back, the singer struggled with eating disorders, depression, self-harm, and bullying, which landed her in rehab to overcome her struggles—and overcome she did! Lovato is currently at the top of her game.
Her choice of live performance costumes have been quite revealing, as she's being singing her famous songs in tight body suits that really show off her figure and killer legs! Art mimics real life, and she is now feeling more confident.
Demi Lovato Workout Secrets Routine
Lovato is the face of Skechers, and she practices what she preaches by not only promoting fitness shoes but by incorporating fitness into her life. The singer enjoys boxing, which she has posted videos of on her Instagram account.

Lovato also weightlifts! In one of her posts, you see the singer doing barbell squats.
All the extra hours in the gym were to prepare for her FutureNow tour—you need plenty of stamina to perform night after night in different stadiums to a sold out audience.

After her high-profile breakup with longtime boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, Lovato bounced back with ease by picking up some boxing gloves instead of a tub of ice cream.
The singer has noted that hitting the gym has been the best remedy for dealing with her breakup. Immediately after the breakup, Lovato was posting not one, not two, but three workouts a day! That's definitely one way to get over a guy.
But breakup aside, Lovato has been working on her fitness for the past few years, as she finds it provides her with numerous health benefits.
Being bipolar, Lovato regularly takes medication and attends therapy. She is now more focused than ever on being a role model for young girls and speaking up about mental illness.
Demi Lovato has come a long way since beginning her career as a child star. Although the path hasn't always been easy, it's good to see she has regained her confidence and is powering through.
She is looking better than ever, and all that time spent in the gym is really paying off. Whether she's hitting a bag, or dropping it low in a squat, there is no doubt that Lovato is working hard to stay healthy and look and feel her best.

Overpaid or not?
Libby Moeller, Feature Writer|October 7, 2013
The Welcome Center and new wing of classrooms were completed by Glenn Construction, 2011.
Gym A, the large theater, the library, the 700s, the Art wing, the two-story 800/900 hallway, the Welcome Center and its adjoining classrooms and lab. Glenn Construction, the district's program management company, coordinated each of these projects that reshaped the nature of the EHS campus.
"I absolutely love my classroom," Mrs. Debbie Powell, Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, said. "It was really great because we got to work with the architects to plan it and make everything usable space."
For over a decade, Glenn Construction served as RSD's primary provider for all construction-related projects.
"In that role, they would help the district identify projects and the scope of the project," Mr. Tim Rooney, Chief Financial and Legislative Officer, said. "Then they would help select architects and oversee the project."
Glenn Construction came under severe scrutiny after claims stating that they caused Rockwood School District an overpayment of approximately $1.2 million after work done through a 2010 bond issue when a state audit reported that the district may have overpaid Glenn Construction by $1.2 million over a span of ten years, according to state auditor Mr. Thomas A. Schweich's findings, Feb. 2013.
"It appears the district overpaid this program management company by paying a percentage fee of estimated costs rather than actual costs and by paying $1,203,178 in additional fees for change orders for work not contemplated in the original contract," Mr. Schweich said in his audit report of the district.
In other words, the audit report proposes that the $1.2 million given to Glenn was an overpayment due to the ordering of more construction projects.
Students, as well as the community, are not fully aware of the entirety of the situation, which received negative coverage from a multitude of news sources.
Among the various articles and tidbits of news from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Eureka-Wildwood Patch, West News Magazine etc., the public has received an abundance of information that proved to be misleading at best in light of the findings of Mr. D. Lynn Whitt, President of The Challenge Group, Inc. and financial expert with background in construction litigation whom the district-hired law firm Lashly & Baer found to review the audit's findings. He shared his findings at the BOE meeting, Aug. 15
"What [the Auditor] said he needed us to do was to get a legal review and then find out whether or not there were over payments and whether or not they could be recovered," Mr. Matt Doell, Board of Education Director, said in a phone interview, Sept. 10.
Mr. Whitt reported that the district did not overpay Glenn Construction.
Originated due to 2010 bond issue, the primary contract for the projects completed by Glenn provided the district with a specified sum of money devoted to construction projects.
Once the projects were completed under budget, RSD was left with the remaining amount to order more projects that had not been mentioned in the original contract, referred to as change orders.
"The expert went through and reviewed how this fee was calculated and when they added additional projects, and whether or not we should have paid them the additional fees," Mr. Doell said. "The answer was yes. The contract negotiated a firm fixed fee for a list of projects we were going to do. When those projects came in under budget, we had additional bond funds that we could use for more projects. When the contractor managed additional projects, he did more work and he got additional fees for that."
Students, among the rest of the public, have been confused with the main dispute regarding the district and Glenn: whether or not RSD actually overpaid the company by $1.2 million.
"Even if we overpaid them but we got what we needed done, then I don't think we should worry about it," Brittney Blunt (10) said. "But if we didn't and we still overpaid them, then I think we should get the money back."
Mr. Whitt reported that Glenn Construction actually saved the district money.
"Because of the favorable economic climate during the bidding period, that $30 million worth of projects actually cost about $20 million," Mr. Rooney said. "When it came in at $20 million, the district benefited because they had the additional $10 million worth of projects that they could expand on."
Glenn was then paid for those change orders with the remaining sum of money from the bond issue.
The language of the initial contract determined that the costs calculated for the change orders were to be counted as additional fees rather than an overpayment.
While the issue of the possible overpayment affected RSD's financial credibility, the reputation of Glenn Construction also received a brutal beating.
"Glenn Construction has gotten a negative spin from this whole thing," Mr. Rooney said. "This was an audit of the school district, not of Glenn Construction. Since I've gotten to the district, I've had nothing but praise for the work that Glenn has done."
After five attempts over the past week to contact the company and former employees, a member of Glenn Construction could not be reached for comment on the matter.
"There may have been mistakes made or there may have been things that could have been done differently, but as far as anyone trying to do something illegal, unethical or immoral, from my perspective, I never ever saw anything like that," Mrs. Deborah Asher, head principal, said.
While the expert's findings vindicated Glenn Construction and the district, the perception of wrong-doing proved damaging.
"Even if you're doing things in a legitimate way, if it looks like there's a conflict of interest, then that's a bad thing," Mr. Doug Dietrich, business education teacher, said. "Perception is more important than reality, and the perception is that it was not a good situation."
Although Eureka students may not have been personally affected by the audit dispute, the prominence of this specific situation has caused many to expand their interest for events going on within RSD.
"I think it's important for us to know what's going on in the district," Aileen Markovitz (11) said. "Since we're older, we've seen the changes over the course of our existence in school."
A lack of public understanding creates roadblocks not only in the community but in the school as well.
"It impedes us moving forward when people either are not aware or have misconceptions about what has taken place," Mrs. Asher said. "We find ourselves in a situation where the construction plans that we had have not been able to progress to the next step."
With high school comes the realization that students will soon find themselves voting on and judging these decisions for themselves.
"We're affected by these situations," Josh Tipton (10) said. "A lot of the things that we depend on and rely on in school can be changed due to financial situations."
More information regarding the background of the district audit can be found in the Program Management Review.

How Businesses Can Prepare Their Communications Infrastructure And Critical Event Management Plans For The Next Chapter Of The Global Pandemic
The global pandemic has created a working environment filled with uncertainty and, at times, fear, as COVID-19 cases surge yet again and businesses continue to navigate a complex web of infectious disease mitigation protocols and managing the distribution of a potential vaccine. Organizations are operating in an environment where a critical event, posing significant risk to its employees and daily operations, could occur at any moment. Even with a vaccine showing light at the end of a very dark tunnel, the pandemic unfortunately may be far from over, and the communication of accurate public health information to a widely distributed, often remote workforce is vital to keeping employees safe and businesses running. Organizations that plan ahead, invest in an emergency management system and share key updates quickly, reliably and securely, can keep employees safe while ensuring business continuity when it matters most. Taking time to plan and prepare Throughout the pandemic, U.S. offices have gone through alternating stages of reopening and re-closing Throughout the pandemic, U.S. offices have gone through alternating stages of reopening and re-closing. However, whether businesses are operating at a limited or full capacity, medical experts are expecting continuous waves of COVID-19 cases, as community transmission continues to hit record highs. The only way for businesses to keep their employees and customers safe, protect their operations, and retain trust with their key stakeholders during these tumultuous times is to be proactive in nature. Organizations need to put a business resiliency plan in place now that outlines key actions to take if (or when) an issue relating to local spread of the novel coronavirus arises. By having a plan in place and practicing it regularly, organizations can minimize risks and maximize employee safety surrounding critical events, such as suspected or confirmed exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace. Context of emergency management Ensuring the safety of employees (and others within the company's facilities) needs to be the number one priority for organizations; and in any crisis scenario, a prepared and practiced plan maximizes a company's chances of success. In PwC's 2019 Global Crisis Survey, business leaders across a range of industries shared their experiences, expectations, and top strengths and weaknesses in the context of emergency management. By a wide margin (54% vs. 30%), organizations that had a crisis response plan in place fared better post-crisis than those who didn't. When it comes to ensuring the wellbeing of staff, businesses need to think through a comprehensive, iterative infectious disease mitigation and operational continuity strategy and practice it as often as possible. Investing in proper technology A vital step in adequate critical event management planning is investing in the proper technology infrastructure For today's modern organization, a vital step in adequate critical event management planning is investing in the proper technology infrastructure to streamline the communication of vital information. Organizations should explore risk intelligence, critical communication and incident management software to keep their people safe, informed, and connected during critical events - and, thankfully, decision-makers are starting to take note. The Business Continuity Institute 2020 Emergency Communications Report found that 67% of organizations at least use emergency notification and/or crisis management tools. Reliable risk intelligence system Building upon that trend, a reliable risk intelligence system can anticipate and analyze the potential impact of incidents, such as increases in local cases of COVID-19, send vital updates to a distributed workforce of any size on multiple devices regarding infectious disease mitigation protocols and public health directives, and then help incident response teams virtually collaborate while maintaining compliance standards. Automating as much of this process as possible through technology allows human decision makers to efficiently and effectively focus their time, effort and expertise on what matters most in a crisis situation - implementing sound operational continuity strategies and, more importantly, ensuring employees' safety and well-being are prioritized and appropriately considered when stress rises. Communicating vital updates This is the cultural component of incident management based on emotional intelligence, empathy, effective employee engagement, and authentic listening that makes or breaks an organization's response to challenging situations. Employees must be aware at a moment's notice to stay away from or exit contaminated areas If employees are exposed in the workplace to a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19, employers must be prepared to quickly update staff on vital next steps, as outlined by the CDC and other public health authorities, and arm key functions - such as security operations, HR, facility management, legal and compliance - with the information they need to mitigate potential spread of the virus, including: Closing/cleaning the office: Employees must be aware at a moment's notice to stay away from or exit contaminated areas. From there, it is critical that businesses communicate clearly with cleaning staff to follow procedure, use the right disinfecting products and sanitise high-touch surfaces. Alerting key groups that may have been exposed: Employers have a duty to rapidly notify workers of potential exposure to COVID-19. Having the proper communication infrastructure in place can streamline contact-tracing as well as the subsequent testing process, and save vital time. Ensuring work-from-home continuity or diverting workflows to alternative physical environments: Every work environment looks different today. Whether an organization is managing a distributed workforce, full-capacity essential workers or something in between, there needs be a communication system in place to ensure business continuity. Outlining next steps for reopening: After a potential exposure, employees require the proper reassurance that they will be returning to a safe working environment in an organized, thoughtful manner, which is aligned to public health best practices. Whether it is coordinating a limited capacity return to the office or outlining new infectious disease mitigation protocols - such as steps for receiving a vaccine in the coming months - employees must continue to be updated quickly, comprehensively, and often. Incident management technology There is no doubt that organizations will continue to face a myriad of challenges as they navigate business operations during the pandemic into 2021, as the general public awaits the broad deployment of a vaccine. Public and private sector leaders still have months ahead of them before daily operations even begin to resemble "business as usual." To best prepare for the next chapter of the global pandemic, organizations should outline a plan tailored to infectious disease mitigation protocols; explore augmenting their crisis management policies with risk intelligence, crisis management and incident management technology; and focus employee communications on containing and rapidly resolving events associated with COVID-19 exposure. Keeping employees safe, informed, and connected during critical events are mandatory considerations for leaders as they analyze existential threats to their business in 2021 and beyond.
Biometrics Provides Industries With Security, Access Control And Data Protection
Several major players vigorously employ biometric recognition technologies around the globe. Governments use biometrics to control immigration, security, and create national databases of biometric profiles. Being one of the most striking examples, the Indian Aadhaar includes face photos, iris, and fingerprints of about 1.2 billion people. Financial institutions, on their part, make use of biometrics to protect transactions by confirming a client's identity, as well as develop and provide services without clients visiting the office. Besides, biometric technology ensures security and optimizes passenger traffic at transport facilities and collects data about customers, and investigates theft and other incidents in retail stores. Widespread use of biometrics Business, which suddenly boosted the development of biometrics, is an active user of biometric technology Business, which suddenly boosted the development of biometrics, is another active user of biometric technology. Industries choose biometric systems, as these systems are impossible to trick in terms of security, access control, and data protection. Being in demand in business, these three tasks are also relevant for the industry. However, the use of biometrics at industrial sites is discussed unfairly seldom. Therefore, it is the face identification that is the most convenient there, as workers often use gloves, or their hands may be contaminated, and the palm pattern is distorted by heavy labor. All these features make it difficult to recognize people by fingerprints or veins and significantly reduce identification reliability. Therefore, industries seek facial recognition solutions. Thus, let us demonstrate the application of face recognition technology at different enterprises, regardless of the area. Facial recognition use in incident management Facial biometric products are known to automate and improve the efficiency of security services by enriching any VMS system. These systems provide an opportunity of instantly informing the operator about recognized or unrecognized people, and their list membership, as well as save all the detected images for further security incident investigation. Furthermore, some sophisticated facial biometric systems even provide an opportunity to build a map of the movements of specific people around a site. Besides, it is relevant not only for conducting investigations but also in countering the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Identifying and tracking COVID-19 positive cases Therefore, if an employee or visitor with a positive COVID-19 test enters a facility, the system will help to track his/her movement and identify his/her specific location. It will also help to take the necessary measures for spot sanitary processing. Thus, the introduction of biometric facial recognition at the industrial enterprise can improve and speed up the incidents' response and investigations without spending hours watching the video archive. Access control system to secure physical assets The right access control system can help industries secure physical and informational assets The right access control system can help industries secure physical and informational assets, cut personnel costs, and keep employees safe. Facial recognition systems may enrich access control systems of any company by providing more security. As biometric characteristics, by which the system assesses the compliance of a person with the available profiles in the database, cannot be faked or passed. The human factor is also reduced to zero, due to the fact that while identity documents can be changed, the inspector can make a mistake or treat his/her task carelessly, be in collusion with an intruder, the biometric system simply compares a person in front of the camera with the biometric profiles database. Biometric facial identification software For example, RecFaces product Id-Gate, a specialized software product for reliable access control to the site, checks the access rights by using biometric facial identification alone or in conjunction with traditional IDs (electronic passes, access keys, etc.), which means that there is almost a zero probability of passing to the site by someone else's ID. The access control system's functionality allows one to strictly account the number and time of all the facility's visitors and also track their movement. When unauthorized access is attempted or a person from the stop list is detected, Id-Gate sends an automatic notification to the access control system and operator. Enhanced data and information security Even despite the division of access to different industrial enterprise areas, the security service needs to provide independent information system security. Employees with the same facility access rights may have different access rights to data. However, in that case, a personal password is not enough, as an employee may forget it, write it down and leave it as a reminder, tell a colleague to do something for him/her during the vacation, or just enter it at another person's presence. Password-free biometric authentication systems make the procedure user-friendly and secure Password-free biometric authentication Password-free biometric authentication systems make the procedure user-friendly and secure. Such systems usually provide an option of two-step verification when successful password entry is additionally confirmed by biometric recognition. Hence, it is particularly relevant due to the current lockdown in many countries. To sum up, the application of biometric technologies solves several issues of the industry, such as: Optimizes and partially automates the work of the security service, as it provides reliable identification and verification of visitors/employees, reduces the amount of time spent on finding a person on video and making a map of his/her movements, without spending hours on watching video archive in case of investigation. Provides a high level of reliability and protection from unauthorized access to the enterprise and the information system. Provides a two-step verification of the user/visitor (including password and biometric data) and almost eliminates the risk of substitution of user data/ID.
This year has brought about changes in virtually every sector. As with other frontline industries, the security sector has been tested more than those able to move entirely to remote working. While the promise of a vaccine means an end is in sight, the post-COVID era will not bring with it a return to the 'normal' we knew before the pandemic. Organizations have adapted, becoming more resilient and agile and this will have lasting effects. The coming months will continue to be testing. The tiered system will see the precautions in place fluctuate with the situation. Initial lockdown period At the same time, a gradual return to normal as the vaccine is rolled out will require adaptive measures. The security sector will be at the heart of keeping people safe throughout this process. The initial lockdown period and the first wave of panic buying might seem like a lifetime ago. However, the introduction of the second lockdown in November was accompanied by another wave of stockpiling despite organizations trying to reassure their customers. It is uncertainty that breeds anxiety, and we continue to see this as the restrictions fluctuate across the country. The tier system depends upon a number of factors: case detection rate, how quickly case numbers are rising or falling, positive COVID-19 test numbers in the general population, pressure on the NHS in that region, and local context and exceptional circumstances. Social distancing measures For the sector to meet demand, technology will be needed to work alongside the manned guarding role While travel is allowed in all tiers if necessary for work, government advice still recommends that those able to work from home should do so. This means that throughout the country, many buildings will remain empty or at minimal capacity for some time to come. Security risks vary with the restrictions in each area. Although shops are largely open, tier three still requires the closure of many premises. Vacant premises are more vulnerable to theft and damage, meaning officers and security technology remain in higher demand than usual. As more premises are allowed to open, the need for officers to implement social distancing measures increases, stretching the sector like never before. For the sector to meet demand, technology will be needed to work alongside the manned guarding role. Temperature checking devices It will continue to be important in providing security when officers cannot be present in person through CCTV and sensors. But it will also be integrated into the manned guarding role to streamline processes. We are already seeing the start of this as many officers are using handheld temperature checking devices to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We'll also see temperature scanners installed into buildings to allow security guards to focus on other priorities. Those businesses that are open will need to continue to adapt to the changing regulations in the coming months. Christmas is a busy period that stretches the retail sector. Unpredictability results in heightened stress levels and makes it more difficult for people to reliably take in and recall information. Security officers are a key first point of contact both to enforce measures and reassure anxious staff and members of the public. Enforcing one-Way systems Security staff will need to keep members of the public safe and prevent disruption Some shops are enforcing one-way systems and limiting the number of customers allowed inside. Over Christmas, many more may choose to do so. Security officers will be responsible for ensuring these precautions are followed. With the heightened pressure of the festive period, it can be hard to predict how members of the public will respond to officers enforcing measures. Security staff will need to keep members of the public safe and prevent disruption. Doing so will require tact and empathy in dealing with customers. Within shops, too, officers will be tasked with ensuring social distancing and other measures are followed effectively. Doing so, they must work closely with clients to understand what protocols are in place and how to handle a breach. They must also be able to enact discretion. For example, clients may not take issue with protocols being broken momentarily or accidentally. Extensive government guidance There is extensive government guidance on the precautions that should be taken on various premises. They include the introduction of one-way systems and limiting building capacity. Measures such as one-way systems may be broken by those that don't notice or don't care. Officers must be able to judge what responses are appropriate while maintaining a calm and reassuring presence. The security officer role has long been moving toward a more front of house position as, for many visitors to a building, they are the first point of contact. The pandemic has accelerated this trend. Working on the frontline of the pandemic, officers have had to play a more multifaceted role than ever before. Officers still act as deterrents and manage security issues, but they must also use empathy and strong communication skills to inform and reassure customers and staff onsite. Adapting to new technology They will need to be able to learn quickly on the job and adapt to new technology and practices Being able to demonstrate this flexibility and to read a situation and react appropriately will be some of the skills most in demand in the industry in the future. Officers will need to build close working relationships with clients. In addition, many will have new roles, such as taking temperatures with handheld devices. They will need to be able to learn quickly on the job and adapt to new technology and practices. Technology, too, will be more important. If the global pandemic has driven any point home, it is that we cannot always see or sense threats. Data-Driven insights Temperature checks and occupancy sensors will be the norm in protecting from COVID, while security technology and data-driven insights will continue to grow in popularity. The security sector specializes in adapting to the unexpected and the threatening. It continues to demonstrate incredible value through the pandemic. While the coming months will undoubtedly be trying, the sector is adapting. Lessons have been learned from the pandemic that will affect business globally. Security specialists are taking these on and creating a stronger and more effective industry.

Das Deserteurdenkmal in Bernau bei Berlin ist ein Bronzerelief des Biesenthaler Bildhauers Friedrich Schötschel. Es wurde am 15. Mai 1998, dem "Tag der Kriegsdienstverweigerer", am nördlichen Durchlass der historischen Stadtmauer des Ortes angebracht.
Beschreibung
Das Relief zeigt einen an Händen und Füßen gefesselten Deserteur bei seiner Hinrichtung. Die Augen sind ihm verbunden. Neben ihm befinden sich in der Wand zahlreiche Einschusslöcher. Das Relief wird durch die Inschrift "Weil er nicht töten wollte" ergänzt.
Zu Füßen des Reliefs erinnert eine Metallplatte an alle Deserteure und Kriegsdienstverweigerer. Auf ihr ist zu lesen:
In Sichtweite des Deserteurdenkmals befinden sich zwei weitere Denkmale; einerseits das Kriegerdenkmal zum Gedenken an mehrere kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen des 19. Jahrhunderts, andererseits der Obelisk des Ehrenfriedhofs für Gefallene der Roten Armee.

Resumo: The South African manufacturing industry is a significant consumer of electricity. Energy consumption in this sector increases with increased production levels and decreases with decreased production levels. It can be asserted, therefore that there is a probabilistic causal relationship between manufacturing production level and electricity demand. The aim of this work is to develop a mathematical model for this causal relationship to assist in forecasting the future energy demand in the manufacturing sector. Neural networks are used to build the causal model. It is assumed that in the causal relationship between these two variables the cause occurs before the effect. In line with this assumption, lagged values of the production index are used to build a neural networks model which is used for assessing its effect on the demand. The results show the causality neural network models created can be used to predict electricity demand with accuracy. | {

Apple may counter Google Maps with Foursquare venture
by Alan Ng December 18, 2012, 15:47
How are you enjoying Google's new Maps app which has been dubbed the savior of iOS 6? Apple has been having well documented problems with their own in-house map solution, but they have always maintained that they are working hard on a solution to improve the issues. The company has just seen Google release their maps app which everyone has downloaded in an instant, but now we're hearing that Apple may turn to Foursquare in a bid to improve mapping functionality for users.
If you are not familiar with the current Foursquare setup which allows users to check in at local hotspots, the service may start to become a lot more mainstream if Apple is indeed plotting some sort of partnership. The Wall Street Journal has published a fresh report, saying that Apple are now in discussion with Foursquare over a move which will improve the current maps situation that users are not happy about.
Google Maps is the clear favorite mapping solutions already on iOS 6, despite only being available for a week. Apple obviously doesn't want to waste any time either in getting their app firmly in the minds of consumers once again. Is Foursquare the definitive answer to the problems though, or is just one part of Apple's plans to revamp the map completely?
It's fair to say that Foursquare has its select followers, Steve Wozniak included, but some consumers may argue that a secondary check-in service is not really needed with many just using the similar feature available through Facebook. On the other hand, Foursquare is also seen as the best location based app around, so it could be viewed as an excellent move by Apple if iOS 6 users have the advantage of using maps with Foursquare features built-in that won't be available on the likes of Android and other operating systems.
Let us know your initial thoughts on this potential move from Apple. Are you a big fan of Foursquare, or it a feature that you can happily do without in 2013? Going back to Google Maps on iOS 6, will you still stay on Google's app despite Apple's upcoming improvements?

NFL - US Sports: Bolts strike bold trade for Mack
bet365 News Team Mar 11 2022
The Los Angeles Chargers made a bold move on Thursday by reportedly trading their 2022 second-round pick and a future sixth-rounder for elite-but-aging Chicago Bears pass-rusher Khalil Mack.
The Chargers, 18/1 to win Super Bowl LVII, are looking to emerge from the shadow of the 10/1 Rams and could be ready to adopt a similar all-or-nothing policy that brought the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the City of Angels.
Mack heads to Cali
Mack spent four seasons in the Windy City where he wasn't able to elevate the team beyond the wild-card round of the playoffs, although the Bears did win the NFC North title in his first year.
The 31-year-old racked up 36 sacks in four seasons with the Bears and earned three Pro Bowl selections, two All-Pro honors and a runner-up finish in Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2018 while there, but he missed most of the 2021 season with a foot injury that required surgery.

Williams pens new deal
The Chargers, who locked up Mike Williams on a three-year $60million deal last week to make him the fifth-highest paid wideout in the NFL, are trying to put all the pieces together around talented quarterback Justin Herbert while he remains on his rookie deal.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that, as part of the deal, the Chargers will take on the entirety of Mack's remaining three-year $63.9million contract, including bonuses.
The Bears won't receive the massive haul they probably expected from a deal involving a top-shelf player, but Mack's departure will free up some salary cap space and add a day two draft pick to the pot for new general manager Ryan Poles to potentially add much-needed-talent to the roster.

Yes I am wearing a lot of stripes and no I cannot stop. I don't know if I was always like that or if I just started paying attention, stripes have taken over my wardrobe and pretty much my life. To make matters worst Express just came out with the PERFECT stripe Barcelona cami and dress. You guys already know how I feel about these camis. I wear them every weekend and I started wearing them to work with a cardi when it's really hot out.
I hope you guys have a great weekend, mine will be spent cooking and catching up on all the things I have to do. I made a list and everything to avoid driving myself crazy. Thank you for reading and see you all next week.
do not stop wearing stripes! stripes are good! hihi!
love your outfit! your sunnies are perfect!
Love your striped cami!! So cute and so versatile!! Have a great weekend!!
What a perfect cami, and yes that dress is ah-mazing!!! This is exactly the type of item I am always pulling to wear on those super hot summer days…If they ever get here.
never apologize for stripes! they're my fave 🙂 loving that style of top–such a huge fan of those lately.
Gorgeous! Love seeing how you styled this! I can't wait to wear mine again! And I'm totally a striped addict also so I can't judge!!
Huh, I haven't paired this cami (or the Portofino….lol) with black yet and obviously that will be my next choice. Thanks for giving me yet another outfit idea! And thanks for making me order yet another striped Barcelona cami!!
Loving this laid back look! I need those jeans!!
I love that striped tank! So cute and casual!
This is such a cute outfit! I love the striped cami with the pink sweater. Great colour for spring!
This is one of the cami's I really must get! I love the stripes as well!
Perfect weekend casual. Bring it on weekend!
VERY cute casual look, and I love the lip color on you!
Oh, u made me think about to get white sandals that u have! U look fantastic!
Have a great weekend! Love those sunnies!
Great weekend look. I especially like the Cami.

Prada sunglasses oh my my, you should do a post on all your stripe looks!
I love those Prada sunnies!! I had my eye on them during the Shopbop sale, but had too much other stuff in my cart. They look great on you and I really like this cami! I hope you are having a great weekend!
I love the colors! I'm jealous of those sunglasses too.
Lovely weekend casual! The cami is so pretty!
I love your casual style, and I'm so jealous of those thin strap cammies, I can't deal with strapless bras, so they are not in my realm of possibilities.
Oh, those colors are AHMAZING! Weekend casual perfection!
Love this casual weekend look! Those sunnies are on my wish list!

Wherwell è un villaggio (Parish of Wherwell) nella contea di Hampshire in Inghilterra. Il villaggio si trova sulle rive del River Test.
Prima della Riforma protestante, la parrocchia di Wherwell apparteneva ad un'importante abbazia di monache benedettine, la cui badessa aveva giurisdizione su di un'area molto più grande di quella della parrocchia.

Review by Jeff Tamarkin, AllMusic.com
The type of warm, sophisticated jazz-inflected pop/rock proffered by Bruce Hornsby & the Range was probably the last thing anyone expected to find at the top of the charts in the late '80s. Yet Hornsby, with his virtuosic piano playing and mature song craftsmanship, placed six consecutive singles into the Top 40 between 1986 and 1990, among them the number one "The Way It Is" and the equally solid "Mandolin Rain" and "The Valley Road," both of which reached the Top Five. Hornsby's career has taken many turns in the two decades since his first appearance, and while his commercial fortunes have dissipated, his willingness to grow as a musician, to dodge stagnation, has only expanded. That's what Intersections 1985-2005 is all about. With 2004's single-disc Greatest Radio Hits already out there for those who just want, well, the greatest radio hits, this four-CD/one-DVD kitchen-sink of a box set is intended for the true believer.
The CDs are divvied thematically. The first, titled "Top 90 Time," contains the hits, albeit rarely in their familiar studio versions. Most are previously unreleased live and alternate versions, sometimes performed faithfully to the hit renditions, other times warped beyond recognition. With the Range, Hornsby offers his own 2005 take on "The End of the Innocence," the song he wrote for Don Henley, while "The Way It Is" opens the collection in a solo piano version.
The second disc is easily the most interesting and eclectic. A mishmash of solo piano noodlings ushers it in, many of them simply assigned letters of the alphabet ("Song A," etc.) and released as album tracks over the years. There are collaborations with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (a bluegrass take on "The Valley Road") and jazz legend Ornette Coleman (an unreleased 1995 Coleman composition titled "Hop, Skip and Jump"), and covers of Elton John and Grateful Dead tunes (Hornsby served briefly as a member of the Dead during a transitional period for the band); there's yet another workup of "The Valley Road," one of many songs Hornsby penned with his brother John, which represents that side trip -- the live Dead version from 1990 makes a particularly convincing case for his contribution to that band. Various songs recorded for film soundtracks round out the disc. The third and fourth CDs were chosen "By Request," both Hornsby's and fans', and while the surprises are fewer here -- much of it consists of album tracks -- there are still a number of previously hidden little gems, both solo and in various group configurations, worth investigating.
A solo piano version of "Sticks & Stones," which opened up the largely electronic Big Swing Face album in 2002, is a totally unexpected reimagining, and if Hornsby's recent composition "Fortunate Son" (no relation to the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic) bears a resemblance to Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," that's because Hornsby once dueted with that group's Roger Waters on said song and felt inspired to write this tribute. The actual video clip of the Waters collaboration is among the 22 tracks found on the accompanying DVD, which also includes an array of live performances, TV appearances, a handful of music videos (some Spike Lee-directed) and other odds and ends, even a duet with Branford Marsalis on "The Star-Spangled Banner," from the 1997 World Series. This box isn't the place to start a Bruce Hornsby collection, but those who've hung in there with him will find it amply rewarding.
Review by Mat Brewster, BlogCritics.org:
"Brrrrooooooooooo…"
The crowd of several thousand standing in the Atlanta Fairground shouted into the bright, hot, southern sky.
"Are they saying 'Bruce' or 'boo?" Juliana asked.
"It's hard to tell," I replied. "I, for one, am shouting 'Bruce.' How could you boo the spidery fingers of Bruce Hornsby? Especially during such a hot version of 'The Way It Is!'"
"They must be yelling 'Bruce.'"
And they were, as hundreds of thousands have yelled the same throughout Hornsby's twenty year career.
That night Bruce was playing keys with the Other Ones – the first Grateful Dead reincarnation following Jerry Garcia's death. It was but one of many collaborations in a career full of imaginative, incredible ensembles including Ricky Skaggs, Elton John, Bonnie Raitt and Pat Methany.
To say Bruce Hornsby is a multifaceted musician would be like calling Leonardo DaVinci a renaissance man – certainly it is true, but also rather superfluous and redundant.
With the release of the new boxed set, Intersections, Bruce Hornsby has shown just how multi-talented he really is – from piano based power-pop to bluegrass and century's old fiddle tunes to improvisational jazz the songs covered in this set stretch across the American song book.
The bulk of the music presented here is culled form previously unreleased live cuts. This is not only good news for the hard core fan who already has all the studio tracks, but for the casual listener interested in understanding Hornsby's work. As is the way for many of the artists I enjoy, Hornsby's studio albums are often less than totally satisfying. In a live setting is where Bruce has always found his own, and performed nothing less than inspiring.
The set is separated into three categories spanning four disks. The first, "Top 90 Time" contains the hits and singles, albeit often live and in a different arrangement than what is found on the original album.
The second disk, labeled "Solo Piano, Tribute Records, Country-bluegrass, Movie Songs" contains just that. The first seven songs are instrumental piano numbers uniquely titles "Songs A-H". The rest are songs Hornsby either played on for friends and co-conspirators, movie soundtracks, and tribute albums.
The remaining two disks, named "By Request" are fan favorites and personal selections.
Interestingly, Hornsby has elected to keep most of his up tempo numbers as the officially released studio version. It is on his slower ballads that he has brought unreleased liver versions to this set. This is perhaps because fans were treated to primo live versions of his faster songs on the 2000 release Here Come the Noisemakers. Or, perhaps it is because live, his up tempo numbers can stretch into double digits, minute wise, which would leave few spaces for more songs.
Whatever the reason, we are still left with a tremendous collections of songs showcasing one of the more talented musicians of the last 20 years.
The boxed set is encased in a lovely three fold binder and includes a 59 page booklet highlighting his career. It includes a personal note from Bruce about each of the songs, numerous photographs, an a tongue-in-cheek retrospective of the critical assessment of his albums (including a number of reviews completely panning his work).
Also included in the set is a DVD full of videos clips (ranging from super cheesy ready-for-MTV videos from the 80's to highly stylized clips directed by Spike Lee to live performances with the Grateful Dead, Roger Waters and even the "Star Spangled Banner" performed with Branford Marsalis at the World Series.)
This is an excellent set, filled with enough new material to please the biggest fans, and yet so accessible as to find a few new fans along the way.
Review by Philip S. Wolfe, Amazon.com:
Bruce Hornsby has released this fantastic Box Set of 4 Audio CD's and 1 DVD and it is worthy of the great talent of this Incredable musician. If you haven't been grabbing up every CD he has released since 1985 it would not be a mistake to start here, there are versions of his hit tunes that have not seen the light of day before this Box such as "The Way It Is", "Mandolin Rain". "The Valley Road","Look Out Any Window" & "The End Of The Innocence" that will Floor-You...
For those of us that have been buying the Original CD's there is lot's of Un-Released Cuts and almost every tune we are already familar with is presented in a Brand New arrangement so that they sound Fresh & New in these new and / or Live Settings.
I Own over 60 Box Sets by a lot of Different Artists, but it is easy to tell you that "Intersections" would place in my Top Five of all the Sets because this Music is Timeless. The Talent of this Great Artist is a 10 on a 10 scale, Jazz, Rock, Bluegrass, Classical, Rag-Time it's all right here in Bruce"s fingertips. This is American Music in the sense that you can HEAR the sound of New Orleans, Wiiliamsburg, New York City, San Francisco and Detroit all in the course of one song and that is the POWER of this music.
From the Range to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to the Grateful Dead to Spike Lee, Bruce has covered lot's of ground and on these 4 CD's you get to enjoy the ride of the last 20 years of Music. The Fifth Disc is a DVD of Music Videos and Live Clips and it's packed with 23 cuts and adds extra value to an already Great Package.
Review by D. Sean Brickell, Amazon.com:
Fair disclosure: I've known Bruce Hornsby for 30 years but have never allowed that cloud my critical judgement of his work.
Saying such, let me be the first to state his box set is amongst the most articulate and honest career retrospective compendia in the history of music. Mr. Hornsby has never been one to play it safe and stay predictable. The familiar favorites -- and there are many! -- have been retooled and served freshly anew. This collection is filled with gems.
Millions of listeners prefer the comfort of knowing their music note-for-note. That's why the likes of Eagles, Paul Simon and Chicago continue to do so well; they're the same show-after-show, year-after-year. But for those of us who appreciate the high-wire challenges presented by Mr. Hornsby, the artistic rewards are breathtaking.
We all know what syncopation does for a song. And while it's true that Mr. Hornsby is masterful at shifting accents within a tune, it's also true that he's pulled off the remarkable feat of syncopating his entire body of work in this overview.
It's my judgement that only Van Morrison and Miles Davis have so continuously evolved their music whilst carrying the loyal to newer heights each time.
Asking me to pick a favorite cut, or CD for that matter, from the box set is sort of like picking your favorite child. Simply impossible. The level of performance and song selection never drops below excellence. Many times, these qualities are staggering. Not once will you hear a single note played for the sake of purely being clever, however. Mr. Hornsby is comfortable with his wide scope of aptitude, unconcerned about unnecessary emphasis, and always tasty in his delivery.
It all coheres.
The last CD that brought me this much joy was Randy Newman's "Songbook, Vol. 1," which was my selection for 2003 CD Of The Year. Mr. Newman rebooted standards in his earlier catalogue, then reintroduced the songs more fully realized to his fan base who also had matured. That's precisely the platform upon which Mr. Hornsby has so ably built his box set.
So here's my recommendation. Buy this for the plentiful rewards. Your appreciation for the songs herein will expand exponentially.
In short, you'll experience an artist at his zenith.

Three Atlantic Health System hospitals earn 2021 Leapfrog Top Hospital award for outstanding quality and safety
NEW JERSEY – Highlighting their nationally recognized achievements in patient safety and quality, three Atlantic Health System hospitals were named Top Hospitals by The Leapfrog Group. Morristown Medical Center and Overlook Medical Center were named Top Teaching Hospitals, and Chilton Medical Center was named a Top General Hospital.
The Leapfrog Top Hospital award was announced Tuesday and is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards American hospitals can receive. The Top Hospital designation is bestowed by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization of employers and other purchasers recognized as the toughest standard-setters for health care safety and quality.
More than 2,200 hospitals were considered for the award. A total of 149 hospitals nationwide were selected as Top Hospitals, including 72 Top Teaching Hospitals and 46 Top General Hospitals.
"Our strategy for building healthier communities is founded on our commitment to delivering extraordinary caring today while training and developing the healthcare professionals of tomorrow," said Brian Gragnolati, President and CEO, Atlantic Health System. "Congratulations to the Morristown, Overlook and Chilton teams on this remarkable recognition. I am grateful for your tireless commitment to our patients, communities and caregivers."
Leaders in Medical Education
Morristown Medical Center and Overlook Medical Center, with their close proximity to New York City, are sought-after facilities by medical professionals at all stages of their training, including undergraduate (UME), graduate (GME), and continuing (CME) medical education. Together, these campuses train over 300 residents and fellows annually.
Residency training in dentistry, diagnostic radiology, family medicine, internal medicine, Ob/Gyn, pediatrics, podiatric surgery, and general surgery occurs at both campuses, in addition to emergency medicine and osteopathic neuromuscular medicine at Morristown Medical Center.
Morristown Medical Center also trains fellows in cardiology, emergency medical services, hematology/oncology, interventional cardiology, geriatrics, pediatrics/emergency medicine, sports medicine, and urogynecology.
Atlantic Health System's major medical school affiliation is with the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Additional affiliations with Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, and St. George's University School of Medicine bring a total of 90 to 100 medical students to its campuses at any given time.
Rising Leader in Care
Chilton Medical Center was one of only two hospitals in New Jersey to receive Leapfrog's Top General Hospital recognition. Additionally, Chilton was also named #1 mid-size hospital in New Jersey by Castle Connolly for the past six years and a high-performing hospital in multiple specialties by U.S. News & World Report.
Chilton has undergone significant enhancements in recent years, including the renovation of its ICU, the development of a progressive care nursing unit contiguous to the ICU, a modernization project for the emergency department, a renovated lobby and access center, and the opening of The Children's Center, an innovative and dedicated center that combines both pediatric emergency services and inpatient hospital care in one, family-friendly facility.
Both Chilton and Overlook last year joined Morristown Medical Center in achieving Magnet Designation for Nursing Excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Morristown, Overlook and Chilton all earned the highest possible safety rating of 'A' by The Leapfrog Group in its Spring and Fall 2021 Hospital Safety Grades.
The quality of patient care across many areas of hospital performance is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, surgery, maternity care, and the hospital's capacity to prevent medication and other errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year's Top Hospital Methodology.
"We are pleased to recognize Morristown, Overlook and Chilton medical centers as Top Hospitals this year," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "Even with the continued strain of the COVID-19 pandemic, these Atlantic Health System hospitals have demonstrated an extraordinary dedication to excellent health care in their communities. We congratulate the board, leadership, staff and clinicians who put their patients first."
To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest standards for quality and patient safety. To see the full list of institutions honored as 2021 Top Hospitals, click here.

A New Clinton Computer Scandal?
JW Uncovers another Hillary Clinton Computer Scandal
Hillary Clinton Discussed Prosecuting Republicans for Classification Violations
Federal Judge Orders State Department Answers on New Clinton Documents
This is unbelievable. We have just received records from the Department of State disclosing plans by senior State Department officials to set up a "stand-alone PC" so that Clinton could check her emails in an office "across the hall" through a separate, non-State Department computer network system. Referencing the special Clinton computer system, Under Secretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy, writes Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, "The stand-alone separate network PC is a great idea." The emails are from January 23-24, 2009, a few days after Clinton was sworn in as Secretary of State.
The new emails were obtained by Judicial Watch in response to a court order in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for State Department records about Hillary Clinton's separate email system.
In the email chain, Lewis Lukens, former deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the secretariat, responds to a request from Mills by informing her, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and Kennedy that the new personal computer "in the secretary's office" would be "connected to the internet (but not through our system)." Abedin responds, "We are hoping for that if possible."
The email exchange discussing plans to provide Clinton a separate computer to skirt the internal State Department computer network begins with a message from Mills to Lukens in which she requests Clinton being able to access her emails through "a non-DOS computer." The email discusses how the stand-alone computer can be set up and why it is "a great idea' and "the best solution":

Lew – who can I talk to about:
1.Can our email be accessed remotely through the web using a non-DOS computer like my laptop?
2.I am traveling to the M-E – will my DOS bb work there and is there a cell phone attached?
3.Spoke to Dan [Daniel B. Smith, former DOS executive secretary] re: bb for HRC (and reports that POTUS is able to use a super encrypted one)
4.Spoke to Dan re: setting up Counselor office for HRC so she can go across hall regularly to check her email

I talked to Cheryl about this. She says a problem is hrc does not know how to use a computer to do email – only bb [Blackberry]. But, I said would not take much training to get her up to speed.
In separate litigation, the State Department told Judicial Watch and federal courts that Hillary Clinton was never issued secure State Department computing devices.
These emails are shocking. They show the Obama State Department's plan to set up non-government computers and a computer network for Hillary Clinton to bypass the State Department network. The fact that these records were withheld from the American people until now is scandalous and shows the criminal probe of Hillary Clinton's email system should include current and former officials of the Obama administration.
Our legal team filed these new emails with U.S. District Court Judge Emmett Sullivan, who is now considering whether to grant discovery in a lawsuit seeking information on the "special government employee" status of Abedin. In our filing, we state:
[Judicial Watch] just recently received additional evidence that demonstrates that senior management at the State Department was well aware that Mrs. Clinton was using a "non-state.gov" system to conduct official government business. This evidence also shows that the senior management at the State Department knowingly aided Mrs. Clinton in establishing and using a "non-state.gov" system.
[T]his newly discovered email demonstrates that there is at least a "reasonable suspicion" that the State Department and Mrs. Clinton deliberately thwarted FOIA by creating, using, and concealing the "clintonemail.com" record system for six years.
The media took up this story (which was reported first by Fox News.) The Obama gang responded with careful word parsing. The State Department spokesman John Kirby told CBS News:
"I will say, a computer was not set up for Secretary Clinton," he said in an email to CBS News State Department Correspondent Margaret Brennan.
Because "these matters are under review generally," Kirby declined to comment further.
Was a computer set up for Cheryl Mills (who evidently had the Counselor's office across the hall)? It will take another lawsuit or court-ordered discovery to get past this obfuscation.
We will continue our investigation – we hope with the support of the courts. In the meantime, you can see that email isn't the only Clinton computer scandal.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this one, but pay close attention to what a Hillary Clinton confidant advised her to do in response to some of the actions by congressional Republicans. When you have Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary Clinton, Eric Cantor and David Petraeus mentioned in one government document, it's time to pay close attention.
Back on January 7, 2016, we obtained a new batch of documents from the Department of State, including a "Confidential" memo from Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal to the former secretary of state suggesting that a grand jury and the Senate Judiciary Committee should investigate whether former Rep. Eric Cantor or his staff violated the Espionage Act by disclosing classified information related to the FBI investigation of former CIA Director David Petraeus.
According to the Blumenthal-to-Clinton email, if classified information was discussed by Cantor, his staff, or anyone "inside or outside the bureau," it "is a felony" in violation of the Espionage Act. Blumenthal's fantasy prosecution of Cantor aside, it is for sure true that if Clinton kept classified information on her non-state.gov server, that also may be a criminal violation of the Espionage Act. (And, of course, Petraeus eventually was forced to plead guilty in a slap-on-the-wrist plea deal.)
The documents also contain an email to Clinton in which Blumenthal sent a copy of a "Confidential" memo to top Obama 2012 presidential debate advisor Ron Klain warning that GOP candidate Mitt Romney would "falsify, distort, and mangle facts" in the final campaign debate. The Blumenthal memo was sent to Klain and copied to Clinton just four days before the final debate.
The documents include an email sent after the Benghazi attack in which Blumenthal informs Clinton of his "Latest Libya intel" regarding the turmoil in that country. Though barred by the Obama administration from being an official State Department advisor to Clinton, Blumenthal – who at the time was also employed by the Clinton Foundation – claimed to have "a very sensitive source" providing him "internal govt discussions high level" concerning Libyan internal security.
The new emails, also available on the State Department website, were obtained by Judicial Watch in response to a court order. The Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on May 6, 2015, asked for the following:
Communications between officials, officers, or employees of the Department of State and members of Congress, Congressional staff members, or Congressional members or staff members of the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Benghazi concerning the use of non-"state.gov" email addresses by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton regarding the September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The timeframe for this request is September 11, 2012, to January 31, 2013.
The State Department's records include the November 13, 2012, email from Blumenthal to Clinton in which he speculates about former Rep. Eric Cantor's dealings with then-FBI Director Robert Mueller concerning the agency's investigation of former CIA Director David Petraeus. In the email, Blumenthal raises the possible need for both a grand jury and a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation of possible violations of the Espionage Act by Cantor and his staff if classified information was made public:
From: Sidney Blumenthal
Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2012 9:13 AM
Subject: More questions. Sid
Who else in the Congress besides congressmen Reichert and Cantor knew of the Petraeus investigation before it became public? How many congressional staffers were informed? What roles did they play in deciding who to inform about it? What were their communications among themselves and with others outside their offices if any? Did any of them discuss the matter with anyone in the Romney-Ryan campaign?
Why was Cantor intent on informing FBI Director Mueller of the existence of an FBI investigation that was already resolved?…
What were the internal discussions between Cantor and his staff on his referral to Mueller?…
Was the supposedly rogue FBI agent, described in the Washington Post as motivated by his "worldview," acting alone? Did he discuss the investigation with any individual either inside or outside the bureau before he went to Reichert and Cantor?
Disclosure of an espionage investigation is a felony. Will a grand jury be empaneled by the Justice Department?
When will Senator Patrick Leahy, chair of the Judiciary Committee and a former FBI agent, begin an investigation of this matter?
Clinton, the United States Secretary of State, responded not with a "you are crazy, why are you writing this to me" but with a request for more info:
What was his "worldview" and why would he think hurting P furthered it? Why would Cantor want to hurt P (beloved by Rs)?
The other major find is an another unhinged October 19, 2012, email from Blumenthal to Clinton in which he sends a copy of a lengthy "Confidential" memo to Klain expounding upon how to defeat Mitt Romney in the third and final 2012 presidential debate:
Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 10:32 AM
To: H
Subject: H: fyi, see especially point about bush. Sid
1.Romney will inevitably falsify, distort and mangle facts on a range of subjects from Libya to the defense budget. But why is this debate different from all other debates? In the dedicated foreign policy debate, the stakes are higher—America's role in the world. That makes Romney's errors even more consequential and potentially threatening. And that must be an essential predicate of Obama's point when he exposes Romney's falsehoods. When Romney lies on domestic policy it's shameful, but when he lies on foreign policy it's dangerous.
3.Romney's attack line on Libya is not only false, as exposed in the last debate. (Obama here can joke that Romney apparently wants to rerun the last debate but this time without Candy Crowley present to call him out. Romney will become angry and nonplussed.) His attack line is a reheated leftover of the Bush era attacks on Democrats designed by Karl Rove as weak on terrorism, which were themselves repackaged old Republican attacks from the Cold War. It's all nostalgia….
Then, really stick in the shiv by having Obama say that he was somewhat surprised that Romney in the last debate did not give President George W. Bush credit where credit is due—for example, breaking with the neoconservatives around Vice President Cheney by adopting the surge in Iraq led by current CIA director David Petraeus that prepared the groundwork for Obama's own policy in Iraq.
An email from Blumenthal to Clinton contains a lengthy "Confidential" memo in which he provides his "latest Libya intel" from "internal govt discussions high level." The memo, later forwarded by Clinton to then-Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan, reveals that more than a year after the Obama/Clinton assisted overthrow of Qaddafi, ostensibly intended to bring about a peaceful transition, the country remained at the mercy of the same terrorist groups that attacked the Benghazi consulate. Claiming that his information comes from a "very sensitive source," Blumenthal informed Clinton of the following:
Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 11:20 AM
Subject: H: latest Libya intel; internal govt discussions high level. Sid
On the morning of January 15, 2013 Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan was informed by Interior Minister Ashour Shuwail and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Mohamed Abdulaziz that Italy plan to close its consulate in Benghazi and reduce the size of its embassy in Tripoli following attacks on the consulate itself and the Italian consul general. Shuwail reported that the attacks were carried out by Eastern militia forces associated with Ansar al Islam, which, although put under pressure by the National Libyan Army (NLA) following the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in September 2012, continues to operate in and around that city.
According to a very sensitive source, General Hassi disagrees with the NLA analysis that the Sabha attack was not aimed at Magariaf specifically, noting that there were five prior assassination attempts against Magariaf in 2012, and that he is a target for a diverse collection of enemies, including former Qaddafi forces, groups like Ansar al Sharia, and even his political adversaries in the GNC. Accordingly, Hassi intends to establish new programs to train a detachment of presidential bodyguards, and his own anti-terrorism personnel.
It is beyond ironic that Hillary Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal, her secret Clinton Foundation adviser at the State Department, discuss criminal prosecutions of Republicans for the handling of classified information over the Petraeus scandal. And it is disturbing that then-Secretary of State Clinton was involved in advising the Obama reelection campaign on how to continue lying about the Benghazi attack. No wonder Hillary Clinton tried to hide these email records rather than disclose them years ago as required by law.
The Obama administration continues to provide cover for Hillary Clinton, but some in the judiciary are running out of patience with the gamesmanship. We are pleased to report to you this week that Judge Rudolph Contreras ordered the State Department to explain how and when new records from the office of Hillary Clinton were located and why they were not identified previously.
The court order comes in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit seeking records about the State Department vetting of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's potential conflicts of interest. The explanation was initially due on Monday, but Judge Contreras granted the State Department an extension to Friday, February 5, 2015, due to the federal government shutdown because of the recent blizzard. (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00688)).
Last month, we learned that the Obama State Department recently found "thousands" of new records from Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. According to information provided to Judicial Watch by various Justice Department attorneys, the new documents appear be "working" records in electronic format located on both "shared" and "individual" drives accessible to or used by persons identified as being relevant to our various FOIA lawsuits on the Benghazi scandal and controversies from Clinton's term at State. The State Department admitted to Judge Contreras on January 14 that the new records include the files of two of Clinton's top aides:
The newly identified files that need to be searched in this case consist of office files that were available to employees within the Office of the Secretary during former Secretary Clinton's tenure as well as individual files belonging to Jake Sullivan and Cheryl Mills.
Judge Contreras responded with a January 15 order that states:
Defendant [State Department] shall complete its additional search and file a status report (1) disclosing the volume of potentially responsive documents that must be reviewed, (2) containing a detailed description of how and when these files were located and why they had not been previously identified, and (3) proposing a revised schedule for the production of the non-exempt portions of responsive documents subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
At a July 9, 2015, hearing the judge was "concerned" about the preservation of Clinton's records and warned that the State Department will "have to answer for" any destruction of Hillary Clinton email records.
The lawsuit stems from a Judicial Watch FOIA request on March 17, 2015, and a subsequent lawsuit filed on May 6, 2015, seeking:
Records that identify the policies and/or procedures in place to ensure that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's personal or charitable financial relationships with foreign leaders, foreign governments, and business entities posed no conflict of interest to her role as Secretary of State; and
Records concerning the State Department's review of donations to the Clinton Foundation for potential conflicts of interest with former Secretary Clinton's role as Secretary of State.
The State Department is protecting Hillary Clinton and has a history of illegally hiding documents from the courts and the public about her record. These newly found Hillary Clinton records show the State Department needs special policing from the courts, federal investigators, and Congress.
A separate and ongoing Judicial Watch lawsuit, one of nearly 23 active Judicial Watch lawsuits in which the Clinton email system is at issue, forced the disclosure last year of documents that provided a road map for over 200 conflict-of-interest rulings that led to $48 million for the Clinton Foundation and other Clinton-connected entities during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state. Previously disclosed documents in this lawsuit, for example, raise questions about funds Clinton accepted from entities linked to Saudi Arabia, China and Iran, among others.
I wish I could tell you the State Department's explanation has arrived, but it has not. I expect it will come after hours in order to keep the new scandal out of the news. But we will spread the details far and wide, so be sure to check back here next week. | {

Fiscal year 2013: Rentenbank's special promotional loans reach record level
Fiscal year 2013: Special promotional loans granted continue to grow, new issuance on the rise, promotional performance increases further, capital ratios improve again.
First quarter 2014: Demand for special promotional loans increased significantly, successful issuance activity continued.
The Board of Managing Directors of Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank, Frankfurt/Main, is very satisfied with the business development in the current fiscal year 2014 as well as with the financial results for fiscal year 2013, as stated at the press conference on annual results of Germany's development agency for agribusiness. "In the past year, new commitments within our special promotional lending business reached a new record level at a volume of €7.2 billion. Simultaneously, our promotional performance also set a new record," said Horst Reinhardt, Speaker of the Board of Managing Directors.
In the first quarter of 2014, new business in special promotional loans amounted to €1.5 billion, thus significantly exceeding the high level achieved in the previous year. Reinhardt was also satisfied with Rentenbank's issuing business: "We have raised funds in the amount of €4.4 billion, representing almost 50% of our total funding requirement for 2014."
Fiscal year 2013: Favorable economic conditions on agricultural markets led to an increasing demand for loans
The continued favorable business environment on agricultural markets and the low interest rate level contributed to a strong demand for loans. Rentenbank achieved a new record level regarding new business with low-interest special promotional loans, amounting to a volume of €7.2 billion (2012: €6.5 billion).
Special promotional loans for traditional agricultural investments such as buildings, land and machinery saw especially high demand. Rentenbank's commitments in the promotional line Agriculture amounted to €2.8 billion, which represents an increase by 16.6% over the previous year.
Promotional loans granted by Rentenbank for investments in renewable energies came to €1.6 billion (2012: €1.4 billion). The new focus within this promotional line was the financing of wind turbine installations, rising to €767.9 million (2012: €83.4 million). This includes commitments in the amount of €331.3 million (2012: €6.0 million) from a special promotional loan program for investments of citizens and farmers in wind turbine installations in rural areas, which was newly introduced by Rentenbank in 2012.
In addition, Rentenbank also promotes rural development, mainly by financing of local infrastructure measures. Overall, Rentenbank granted €2.1 billion (2012: €2.1 billion) within the context of its promotional line Rural Development as well as in the framework of global refinancing agreements concluded with the federal state promotional banks.
Issuing business 2013: Euro remains most important issuance currency
In the reporting year, Rentenbank raised medium and long-term capital market funds in the amount of €10.2 billion (2012: €9.6 billion) on domestic and foreign capital markets in order to refinance its promotional business. 33% (2012: 26%) of the issuance volume was placed with central banks and 46% (2012: 53%) with banks. For banks, the zero-risk weight of Rentenbank's issues is particularly important.
The most important issuance currency was the euro with a share of 34% (2012: 47%), followed by the U.S. dollar with a share of 28% (2012: 30%). The Australian dollar continued to rank in third place with a share of 24% (2012: 12%). With an outstanding volume of AUD 10.6 billion, Rentenbank remained the third-largest foreign issuer in the Australian "Kangaroo" market at year-end.
Share of special promotional loans continues to increase in the balance sheet
Total assets fell by 1.1% to €78.3 billion in 2013 (2012: €79.2 billion) in accordance with German Commercial Code (HGB). The asset side of the balance sheet primarily comprises loans and advances to banks due to the fact that the bank generally extends loans via other banks, in accordance with competition neutrality. As of the balance sheet date, this item amounted to €50.0 billion (2012: €51.2 billion) or a share of 63.9% (2012: 64.6%) in total assets. Due to the strong rise in new business, the portion of special promotional loans in the balance sheet continued to grow and amounted to €33.8 billion (2012: €30.2 billion) as of December 31, 2013.
Securitized promotional business, which is reported in the balance sheet item 'Bonds and other fixed-income securities,' amounted to €19.2 billion (2012: €20.2 billion). The securities portfolio had a total volume of €20.3 billion as of year-end 2013 (2012: €22.0 billion).
Securitized liabilities amounted to €61.4 billion (2012: €62.2 billion), representing the largest liability item of the balance sheet in 2013. This includes Medium Term Notes in the amount of €46.4 billion (2012: €45.1 billion) as well as global bonds of €11.0 billion (2012: €11.7 billion) and Euro Commercial Papers of €4.0 billion (2012: €5.3 billion).
Appropriation of profits in 2013: Distributable profit used for promotional purposes
As expected, the operating result before provision for loan losses and valuation as reported under HGB in 2013 decreased to €248.7 million compared to the previous year (2012: €303.7 million). The decline was largely attributable to the decline in net interest income, but also to higher administrative expenses due to increased regulatory requirements. For this reason, especially the expenses for personnel and IT projects for necessary improvements of infrastructure increased.
Net income increased to €53.0 million in 2013 (2012: €51.0 million). The distributable profit remaining after transfers to reserves amounted to €13.3 million (2012: €12.8 million) and is utilized by Rentenbank exclusively for promotional purposes. One half of the distributable profit is transferred to the Special Purpose Fund (Zweckvermögen) and the other half to the Promotional Fund (Förderungsfonds).
Rentenbank used an amount of €77.0 million (2012: €75.9 million) from its net interest income to reduce the interest rates of its special promotional loans. In addition, Rentenbank provided grants in the amount of €3.0 million for the program Research on Agricultural Innovation. Furthermore, the capital of Edmund Rehwinkel Foundation was increased by €3.0 million. Overall, the portion of Rentenbank's income provided for promotional purposes (promotional performance) in 2013 amounted to €96.3 million (2012: €90.7 million).
IFRS financial performance 2013 with increased net income for the year
In Rentenbank's IFRS consolidated financial statements, the operating result at €238.8 million (2012: €299.5 million) also declined. The main contribution came from the net interest income before allowance for credit losses/promotional contribution in the amount of €333.7 million (2012: €365.9 million). Due to the strong measurement gains from fair value measurement and from hedge accounting in the amount of €221.2 million (2012: measurement loss of €55.7 million), net income for the year amounted to €460.0 million which is a significant rise over the prior year (2012: €243.8 million).
Due to the continued stabilization of the capital markets, the credit spreads further tightened in 2013, above all for issuers particularly hit by the crisis. This had a positive impact especially on the measurement of Rentenbank's securities, above all in the revaluation reserve. Taking into account the change in the revaluation reserve in the amount of €244.6 million (2012: €565.8 million), the Group's total comprehensive income amounted to €704.6 million (2012: €809.6 million).
"Rentenbank is a non-trading book institution. Therefore, we pursue a buy-and-hold strategy. Measurement gains and losses are merely of a temporary nature and will be reversed by the maturity date of the relevant transactions provided that no counterparty defaults," explained Hans Bernhardt, responsible for finance within the Board of Managing Directors.
Rising capital ratios as solid basis for Basel III
Own funds as reported in the HGB balance sheet for 2013 grew to €4.1 billion (2012: €4.0 billion). Of that figure, €2.4 billion (2012: €2.2 billion) was attributable to the fund for general banking risks. Both the Tier 1 capital ratio (2013: 25.6%; 2012: 21.3%) and the total capital ratio (2013: 31.3%; 2012: 27.5%) which are calculated pursuant to the German Solvency Regulation are well above the prior-year figure.
The capital ratios at Rentenbank will become lower as a result of the fact that regulatory own funds are required to be reported based on IFRS since January 1, 2014 and the stricter provisions as regards capital requirements from the EU Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR). However, pursuant to preliminary calculations as of the end of March, the Tier 1 capital ratio at 16% as well as the total capital ratio at 19% still remain significantly above the increased new regulatory requirements.

After selecting a lawn mower, you will be released into the garden where 30 eggs are on the loose. Smash them before time runs out. Each level starts off with 99 seconds. Once all 30 eggs are smashed you will proceed to the next level.
As the levels progress, rocks are placed in diverse patterns around the map, the bugs will gradually become better at avoiding the mower. If you run out of lives and have made a new top score you will be asked to enter your name and then the date. Just type them in then press enter/return to return to the main menu. | {

There are Latinos, there are wannabe Latinos and then there is Will Smith. If you just became obsessed with Marc Anthony, Bad Bunny & Will Smith's latest drop, "Está Rico," and you were wondering why Will Smith was rapping in Spanish, let us give you the brief photo history showing how he has embraced and become part of Latino culture.
Will Smith has always been a lover of Latino culture.
Yes, he really is from West Philadelphia, where he was born an raised, and was a pretty popular rapper in the '80s. Once the IRS claimed his recording equipment, he took on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in an interim that lasted six years. Since then, he's been top charting and making bank in film.
He is BFFs with Marc Anthony.
He has proven several times that he speaks decent Spanish.
He's even accepts interviews in Spanish on the regular, including this one on Telemundo where he carried his weight for the first half, and was translated for the second half.
Apparently, Smith travels with a Spanish language instructor so he's always learning.
La comunidad agrees his trip to Colombia with Marc Anthony changed him.
Back in May of this year, Smith was all over Instagram sharing the multiple dance offs he had with folks all throughout Colombia. He basically danced his way through the country.
Truth, he may have been on a working vacation since his new movie "Gemini Man" is based in Colombia, set to release in October 2019.
While he was there, him and Marc shipped Colombia hard.
Can you spot Marc Anthony to his right? Boy is literally on a balcón; it doesn't get more Latino than that. Unless he's hiding a cigar somewhere, and then there's no going back.
He "loves the fire" of Latin America.
He knows to always give the spotlight to the person who really runs things: his wife.
He got the handbook on this one. She deserves all the glory and honor to even be by your side and if you aren't over the top about acknowledging her grace, she will take it very personally y le botó.
And always has been. Why do you think we were all so obsessed with "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"? It was the only American telenovela we had.
Miami is his second home.
Miami is like the American capital of Caribbean Latinos and he's been singing about it (and even dropping some lyrics in Spanish) since the '90s.
Plus, he's always been a fanboy for Mariah Carey.
If you look closely at the CDs the Fresh Prince had laying around his room in the sitcom, you'll see Mariah's face everywhere. In this photo, Mariah is 18 years old and Will Smith is 19 years old back in 1988.
Smith is here for his Afro-Latina co-stars.
Back in the day, Tatyana Ali played his on-screen cousin, Ashley Banks. He wishes her a feliz cumple cada año on social media.
Will Smith brought us Eva Mendes.
He's just like a prankster Latino dad.
Just last week, he tossed Jada onto his shoulders to start the #ThePiggybackChallenge.
Will Smith is just the kind of dad who will always treat his kids like babies and also like adults. They went to Target to promote Just Water, and Smith was giving Jada sass for talking instead of working on stocking the shelves. Classic.
Latinos are already posting that their dads are way ahead of him.
We didn't use our legs for the first 4 years of life. It's the Latino way.
He publicly sasses his son for not knowing Spanish.
Tell me your papi wouldn't do the same thing. I hear it from every abuelita I meet. Maybe Will Smith is an honorary abuelita, no sé.
He laid down a Bomba Estereo "Fiesta" remix like a boss.
He reportedly has said he thinks he was Latino in another life.
In this life, he is one of us.
The guy has spent decades obsessing over Latino culture, respecting it, living in it, lifting up Latino actors and remixing iconic bands. We 💜 you, Will Smith. You're up there with Rhianna. | {

Unfortunately, some of our families have had to move home - some abroad and some to other parts of Ireland. We miss them and wish them well in their new homes and schools.
This does mean, however, that some school places have opened up in our school! If you know of anyone looking for a school place, please let them know this great news. We have places in most of our class levels - Junior Infants, Senior Infants, 1st class, 2nd class and 3rd class. Pre-enrol online or call in to the school. | {

Q: Classifying groups of order 399 and finding their centers and commutator subgroups Let $G$ be a group of order $399=3\cdot 7 \cdot 19$. By Sylow Theorems, we get that there is a unique Sylow 19-subgroup. If $N$ is that subgroup and $H$ is a Sylow 7-subgroup, it's easy to show $NH$ is normal in $G$. We must examine $\varphi: \mathbb{Z}_3 \to Aut(NH) \cong \mathbb{Z}_6\times \mathbb{Z}_{18}$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_3 = \langle s \rangle$, $N = \langle a \rangle$, and $H= \langle b \rangle$. Let $\varphi(s) = \sigma$. We must examine $\sigma(a,b)$ of order 3.
We know that $\sigma(a,b) = (a^k, b^l)$ such that $k^3 \equiv 1 \mod 7$ and $l^3\equiv 1 \mod 19$. If $k=l=1$, then $G\cong \mathbb{Z}_3\times \mathbb{Z}_7\times\mathbb{Z}_{19}$ and has obvious center/commutator subgroup. If $k,l \ne 1$ , after some work, one determines that $k=2,3$ and $l=7, 11$. This gives a total of 9 groups of order 399.
At this point, they each have their own presentation, but how does one then determine the center? Simply messing around with the relations? Also, I found a document that gives the number of groups of order $n\le 2015$, and it says there only 5 groups of order 399. Any hints on how to determine which of mine are isomorphic?
A: You found nine ways to map $\Bbb Z_3\to \operatorname{Aut}(NH)$. However, any two such homomorphism that differ only by an automorphims of $\Bbb Z_3$ lead to isomorphic groups. Thus instead of $1+8=9$ you get $1+\frac 82=5$.

A group of strangers took a filmed test drive but they were asked to stopped at a car wash.
"They never reached their final destination," explains The Texas Chainsaw Massacre style opening by Ford.
They were greeted by attendants, who complain about not receiving a tip then violently wash the windows. The confrontation primes them for what's to come. Lights eerily flash while men in monster masks pound on the car. The setup is perfect because there's nowhere to go. You're trapped in your car. Even if you freak out and hit the gas, your car is on a lift so there's no escape and more importantly no chance of a car accident. | {

Ritratto di una donna e sua figlia è un dipinto del pittore veneto Tiziano Vecellio realizzato circa nel 1550 e conservato nella Rubenshuis ad Anversa in Belgio.
Storia
Il dipinto rimase incompiuto nella sua bottega, a seguito della morte del maestro e completato da un suo allievo.
Il quadro appartenne alla collezione della famiglia Barbarigo fino al 1850, quando venne venduta allo Zar Nicola I di Russia, che in seguito venne acquisita dalla famiglia Tyszkiewicz. Nel 1920 il dipinto venne acquistato dal collezionista francese René Gimpel.
Identità
Ignota ad oggi l'identità delle donne ritratte, anche se potrebbe trattarsi di persone vicine alla famiglia di Tiziano (Emilia Vecellio o Lavinia Vecellio e sua figlia).
Alcuni storici attribuiscono la figura della donna alla nobile Lucrezia Gonzaga (1522-1576) di Gazzuolo. Secondo alcuni esperti, questo ritratto non è Lucrezia Gonzaga. Il titolo ufficiale è Portrait of a Patrician Woman and Her Daughter (in italiano: Ritratto di una donna patrizia e sua figlia). Forse "l'amante di Tiziano, Milia e la loro figlia Emilia".

Q: Is it okay to rewrite unit tests? I am still learning OOP, and each day I discover something foreign. So when writing unit tests, it looks like it's common to have function names, and the program design in general, already defined. "Test this factory or that dependency container to see if it works as expected", for example.
Being a learner, I am pretty sure I'd want to change a lot of things, from function names to the structure of the code to what the functions do themselves, over time. Obviously, this would mean rewriting the tests to make them pass. Did you face this problem? A few things I read speak like it is taboo to touch tests once written, so how do you solve this?
A:
it is taboo to touch tests once written
This is total nonsense, of course. Time passes, things change, code evolves, tests need to be touched. Feel free to amend and rewrite tests, but be careful to not accidentally lose functionality in the process (when rewritten version does not test cases that previous version did).
For me this problem simply doesn't exist.
A: As @Sergio said, of course you have to change tests if the class under test changes.
Just to note about changing tests in general: don't forget to make sure that the new test actually fails if the class under test is wrong. When you're doing new code and writing tests first, you get to see the test fail before you implement the new functionality and the test passes (TDD's "red/green" rhythm). When you're changing tests, you need to make sure you didn't just make a test that always passes.
For your question about changing things about the class under test (names, behaviour), you can easily do this in a test-first manner too:
*
*Change the test to reflect the changes you would like to make to the class under test
*Run the test to verify that it fails (or possibly won't compile, if name changes) [Red]
*Update the class and see the test pass [Green]
A: An important thing to remember is that test code is just as important as production code, if it's not, why bother with it at all? With this in mind, it's just as important to maintain and refactor your tests as it is to maintain and refactor your production code.
That said, I wouldn't recommend rewriting a test just because your knowledge has moved forward and you don't like the way you did it initially. If a test is testing something worthwhile, is understandable, and always passes, i'd leave it alone.
A: I think this depens on your programm. If you have a really huge programm you should not rewrite your tests if you are not sure that other functions uses that functions. If you are in the development you can change them if you are sure that this will make no trouble.

On Phobias and Phobes
In the early 1960s, General Knowledge was a competitive sport - at least it was in my boys' grammar school. Countries and capitals; tallest, longest, deepest …. In this world, phobias were things which lent themselves to alphabetical challenges: Name a phobia beginning with H! (Answer: Hydrophobia).
These phobias were, with one exception, names given to fears - very varied fears (arachnophobia, claustrophobia, nyctophobia …) but all deserving of sympathy, explanation, and - in some cases - treatment. The exception was xenophobia which hovered between a fear and a hatred, so that it was unclear whether it deserved sympathy or disapproval - none of us boys thought it could be a badge of honour. And though we probably used the word xenophobic to characterise attitudes, we were less likely to label people xenophobes; somehow we had got hold of the idea that you shouldn't, in general, reduce a person to one of their aspects.
It's true, we did have hate figures, in the front line Henry Brooke, the UKs Conservative Home Secretary 1962-64 who the archives show to have been even worse than we believed him (see Richard Davemport-Hines, An English Affair (2012)). But we had no means of giving effect to our feelings other than by writing Letters to the Editor or taking part in demonstrations. We had no social media.
Returning to our phobias, they were normally characterised as "irrational" and though that is an imprecise and potentially contentious qualification it did roughly succeed in distinguishing between reasonable fears induced by the immediate presence of a highly poisonous species of spider and unreasonable fears attaching to the usual ones found in cupboards and gardens.
Things change. Modern phobias are names for alleged hatreds (homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia …) and the words are primarily used to point the finger at people, reduced - essentialised - to one of their aspects: Homophobe! Islamophobe! Transphobe! They leave no room for sympathy, explanation, or treatment. A 'phobe is a 'phobe, through and through, best dealt with by denunciation and exclusion from the society of the elect. Thus the world of Twitter and university campuses.
What is most odd about this finger-pointing essentialism is that it is performed by people who are, for the most part, also committed to the idea that everything is a social construct which is to say that there are, in fact, no essences and no natures, only contingent and changeable social fabrications. If that doctrine is true, or even only partially true, homophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia are social constructs. I think that they are - and of very recent fabrication, too. They have been specifically designed for weaponised use as finger-pointing, denunciatory weapons which expose the dark hearts of the wicked and the witches.
Those last words are not hyperbolic. The social constructions which produce the - phobe targets of denunciation are the work of theologians - or, at least, Sunday school teachers - and fairly pitiless ones. The barbed arrows aimed so freely on Twitter and in university discourse carry within them no invitation to make amends, no offer of redemption, no suggestion that the phobias might be irrational fears or - God forbid! - even have some rational aspect. Any distinction between toxic spiders and harmless ones is unknown to the theologians. Their world is one which allows no room for uncertainty or reasonable disagreement, things which are central to the mind-set of democrats and humanists. I'll digress a bit to consider that by way of an example.
Secularists, who normally think of themselves as democrats and humanists, might be said to fear and even loathe organised religions; in consequence, they must surely be considered Islamophobic.
The secularist's obvious first line of self-defence is to point out that they are also Christophobic so whatever their belief, it is not discriminatory in the way that Islamophobe! supposes. Google barely recognises the term Christophobic, which is not in current Twitter use, but if they are Islamophobes secularists must also be recognised as Christophobes - though they would deny that they are irrationally so: the newspapers every day contain stories of clerical abuse and corruption which show that secularists have a lot of evidence on their side. It is no accident that our oh-so-liberal Christian bishops are happy to debate with and even cosy up to atheists (what's a difference of belief between friends who dine at the same high table?), but extend no such affection to secularists who threaten their incomes and the worldly power which for centuries has allowed them to hide their crimes and avoid ordinary accountabilities.
A second line of defence for the secularist is to attempt a clear distinction between organisational religions and the religious beliefs of individuals. Unlike the atheist, the secularist has no quarrel with the latter as such and will agree that such beliefs are not in themselves a ground for any form of discrimination. They are not on their own toxic, indeed may be very far from it: the beliefs are compatible with being a very good person. But it's not always so simple: some religions are inseparable from their organisational form: there is no Roman Catholicism outside the Roman Catholic church, a position very clearly articulated in the Church's own doctrines: Extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Outside the church there is no salvation). Well, of course, that is the most extravagant attempt at institutional self-preservation ever made and is open to a very simple objection, How do you know? But it remains true that there is no wriggle room for an individual Roman Catholic: either you are In or you are Out and if you are Out you are not a Roman Catholic. Roman Catholicism is not a personal belief; it is an attachment to an organisation. In contrast, many forms of Protestant belief do not require institutional adherence or any demand for secular power over such things as schools.
It would seem that those currently targeted as - phobes could either accept the scarlet letter and wear it proudly or seek to demonstrate that it does not apply and that the attitudes, arguments or beliefs they have articulated do not amount to proof of wickedness or witchcraft. But the latter response runs up against the problem that no one is listening. The students and faculty who recently drove Kathleeen Stock from the pleasant parkland campus of the University of Sussex ("No TERFS on our Turf" read one of the banners) have no intention of actually reading her book Material Girls (2021); she has been convicted by tweet and the sentence cannot be appealed.
This is why being accused of homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia - the list will no doubt grow longer - poses such a threat to those who may be picked out for denunciation. It is not only that the denunciations quickly replicate across a million screens - almost as if human intervention is not required - it is also that they contain within them prosecution case, verdict, and sentence. Once made, the accusations will never be withdrawn; no apologies ever made. And sentences are indeed carried out. Papal infallibility is a pale thing is comparison.

Gender Formerly Known as Sex
This is a chapter from my 26-chapter paperback The Best I Can Do, published in 2016 and readily available from Blackwell online or Amazon. Trevor Pateman
I went online recently to check the status of my driving convictions. I was surprised to find at the head of the page which dealt with me the words "Gender: Male". Well, I have to say I never told them that. I am pretty sure that when I filled in their form however many decades ago I responded to a question which asked me for my "Sex" and that I answered "Male", which was truthful and true. If they had asked me for my "Gender", I am not sure I would have known what it was. The idea hadn't yet been imported. But why was it imported anyway? I have no real idea - I just guess that lots of people were reading the excellent, imported sociology textbook by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann The Social Construction of Reality (1966) and concluded that binary essentialist categories like Sex are Bad - because they imply that things exist which are not socially constructed - but binary non-essentialist, everything-is-a-social-construct categories like Gender are Good. Upper Seconds all round.
Gender is an adjectival rather than a nominal aspect of people's selves and it is rarely uncomplicated. Few people are as straightforwardly gendered (what is now called "cis-gendered") as is assumed by the bureaucrats whose imagination did not rise above deleting the word "Sex" and inserting the word "Gender". But just as few people are completely cis-gendered, few people are completely "trans-gendered". I doubt that there are many F people in transition to becoming M people who have Jeremy Clarkson as their target role model. As they start approaching that target, I feel they might decide to hang on to a bit of their F side.
We have always been taught that gender is distributed in a bi-polar way: plot people's gender on a statistical curve and there are big clusters of M people and F people on either side with only a few people in the middle. Over time and in different cultures, this may change. For example, I have read lots of Op Ed pieces telling me that over recent decades in my society boys have found it harder to develop (or been under pressure not to develop) + M masculine characteristics resulting in a "Crisis of Masculinity". Statistically, that would come out as a change in the shape of the distribution curve, reducing the M cluster on one side and creating a new bulge nearer the middle. In addition, if girls are under less pressure to stick to + F characteristics, then that would also create a bulge nearer the middle and we could then be on the way to what is called a normal curve of distribution (a Bell Curve - it looks like a church bell), with most people being bits of F and bits of M, regardless of sex, and clustering in the middle of the curve. If anything like that does happen, then people will begin to object to the gender binary boxes M and F. Some are indeed beginning to do so.
But when big companies are castigated for not having a "Gender Balance" at top executive level no one would be amused if they adopted the following strategy:
Look, we're all men I know but, hey, some of us are less masculine than others – more feminine. Yeah? So why don't we start by scoring people for their masculinity and their femininity? Like, you know, everyone says I am a "Good Listener" which must knock 10 points off my 100% Masculinity index. So why not credit those 10 points to the Female side of our Balance Sheet? That way, we at least make a start on changing the Gender Balance here. Yes, guys?
No, guys. The truth is that your critics are talking anatomy. They don't like to say so, may even deny it, but anatomy is what they are talking about. Why should anatomy be so important? One reason is that it will remain an extremely powerful profiling tool for some basic things and quite powerful for other things until such time as we move to a normal curve of distribution for gender characteristics. You never need to be screened for prostate cancer if you tick the F box and you never need to be screened for ovarian cancer if you tick the M box. Athletic abilities also can be read off from your M or F profiling, which is why we have Men's and Women's events for most Olympic sports and tests to ensure people aren't cheating ( which they do but that's another story). And so on, with the usefulness of the profiling declining as we move away from obvious ones like those I have just instanced. But until such time as most people have a significant mix of gender characteristics, it will be possible to profile for lots of things from anatomy alone: having driving convictions for speeding or annual expenditure on clothing, for example. In 2002, 83% of speeding convictions in the UK were picked up by men. In 2011, the Office of National Statistics records women spending £588 on their wardrobe and men £322.
Nothing more needs to be true for such profiling to be possible than the fact that societies set out to gender their new members – children – differentially according to their sex and that to, some considerable degree, they usually succeed. Parents and teachers (not to mention makers of children's toys and clothes) are huge enthusiasts for making sure that their M and F children are introduced to the right gender boxes – hundreds of them - from very early in their lives. In some respects, it was less oppressively so forty years ago than it is now when everything is Pink or Blue, Girl or Boy. It wasn't quite so then. We can wish it otherwise and we can work to make it otherwise. That thought is only intelligible if you accept the basic distinction between Sex and Gender and don't conflate the two as has now been done on my driving licence.
Of course, the distinction between Sex and Gender has been known about for a very, very long time though sometimes I read things which tell me that someone discovered it last week. In England, the most intellectually serious daily newspaper is The Financial Times. On 28 November 2015, India Ross interviewed Jill Soloway, creator of the American TV series Transparent which has a transgender theme (I haven't seen it – no TV). They talk about gender issues and at the end Soloway says:
People will recognise that just because somebody is masculine, it doesn't mean they have a penis. Just because somebody's feminine, it doesn't mean they have a vagina. That's going to be the revolution over the next five years
India Ross adds:
I suggest that, even today, that's a fairly radical thing to say. She agrees …
I paused. When, if ever, has this "radical thing" not been recognised as true – and even platitudinously true?
Think, for example, of "cissy" and "tomboy". A cissy was a boy who displayed feminine tastes and traits, deemed unacceptable. A tomboy was a girl who displayed masculine tastes and traits, though sometimes these were treated more indulgently than cissy traits. To go back just sixty years, think of To Kill a Mockingbird which – among other things – belongs to a genre of tomboy novels. Go back a bit farther and you get to Jo March in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (1868 – 69).
Both "cissy" and "tomboy" imply a fundamental distinction between sex and gender. Both recognise that sex and gender can be mismatched in a person. Neither supposes that cis-gendering (the neat matching of sex and gender) is inevitable, though as judgemental terms, they assume that cis-gendering is desirable. So maybe the revolution is simply to remove the judgemental aspect. No one will get called out as a cissy or laughed at as a tomboy. They will just be accepted. But didn't that also happen in the past?
Caring has been marked + Feminine in my culture and for a very long time. Let's go back a hundred years. In wars, like the unbelievably stupid and destructive First World War, there were male officers who distinguished themselves by caring for their men in terrible circumstances. This was regarded as admirable, not cissy.
Bravery has been marked + Masculine in my culture, also for a very long time. But go back to 1838 and read the story of Grace Darling, a lighthouse keeper's daughter who assisted her father in the rescue of nine survivors from a shipwrecked steamer. This 23 year-old woman got marked + for Bravery (in fact, + + +). But no one dismissed her as a tomboy and several men who had never met her wrote seeking her hand in marriage. No one called her out for rowing the boat.
It is simply not true that the sex / gender distinction has ever been unclear to anyone, except perhaps to those who have been made to read Judith Butler's obscurantist Gender Trouble (1990). It is also - perhaps surprisingly - untrue that society has been consistently and remorselessly unwilling to recognise, accept, and even occasionally applaud, transgender characteristics as in the two examples instanced above.
Of course, its tolerance has never been whole-hearted and probably never consistent. But a flicker of tolerance can often be found. If we can nurture that flicker into something stronger, that will be a very good thing. But to do so it is both historically incorrect and politically unproductive to claim that we have just this last week invented something which will take us out of the Dark Ages once and for all. Lots of people like to be pioneers (maybe it's a + M thing); but most of the time, someone else got there already.
Curiously, the only situation in which Jill Soloway's claim makes sense is one where most people remain strongly cis-gendered, bunched at either end of the statistical curve but where a few (special?) people are allowed to jump over the binary divide and join the other camp. That doesn't sound to me much like the social progress envisioned by mainstream feminists back in the 1970s who thought it was the fact of binary bunching itself which should be challenged. Feminists back then wanted most women to be more assertive and most men more caring, so that gendering became less Either – Or, more bunched in the middle, less a war between the Pinks and the Blues.

They/Them? A Very Critical Look at Self-Identifications
I've never liked being called by positional names or displaying symbols of such positions. So though married for a long time, I never wore a wedding ring. Nor did my wife who never changed her name, used "Ms", and was irritated (as I was) by Christmas cards addressed to Mr and Mrs T. Pateman. Our generation? Born in the 1940s. Outside of university settings, I never used my academic title.
I encouraged our children to use my first name and now do the same for my grandchildren. But the encouragement was never a demand and is now generally ignored, except by one grandchild. As a result, I now sign emails as Dad x but persist in signing birthday cards to grandchildren with a cartoon which has so far allowed me to completely avoid Grandad x
So I was not immediately unsympathetic to those who want to be called They/Them; for many years in my writing I have used they as a generic, having tried the clumsy he or she and the stylistically disastrous App. which mechanically alternates he and she.
But something doesn't seem quite right in what's happening now. I accept that my own past preferences could be considered to some degree prissy or attention seeking or narcissistic. But what is happening now strikes me as massively - and not much more than - prissy, attention seeking, and narcissistic, with added readiness to affect offence or worse if not properly noticed. And it does seem all very much more about having a one-up Twitter identity rather than about relations with intimates.
To me it looks like this: middle-class young people, burdened with names and expectations which they cannot always live up to, mostly at university or recently graduated, are making themselves appear special by turning themselves into They/Them on grounds that they are non-binary. The threshold for entry into this special class of people has not, to my knowledge, been disclosed unlike the titles which Debrett's regulates. Is it enough to paint your finger nails in non-matching colours? No, but only because no more than self-identification is required, is that not so?
So it is irrelevant for me to muse whether in the past I was, unwittingly, non-binary because I changed nappies. Or because I entered my home-made jams into village horticultural shows. Or because even on the most charitable interpretation my sexual encounters never (sometimes to a partner's disappointment) achieved the expected binary climax of Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'm? No, it's not feminine or effeminate traits, nor the desire to avoid toxic forms of masculinity, which make you non-binary. It's brass neck or, to put it in more modern terms, a sense of entitlement.
I look at the images on Google and think to myself, This is just fashion and will mostly be abandoned within a few years just as most of us gave up fairly rapidly on Carnaby Street and Flower Power. But while it lasts there is a big difference: current self-identifications are moralised and essentialised to the hilt. Hence, the offence if you don't take them seriously enough. Rather like bearded young men in theological seminaries, our They/Them people are utterly convinced of their own self-righteousness - that their choice has real existential depth and the fires of Salem await those who can't see it.
To be honest, I simply don't believe many of the self-presentations, partly because the choice so obviously opens career opportunities in the crowded field of desirable, non-manual jobs - well, not just non-manual; preferably media-related. But non-manual is a good start; people on building sites tend to get on with the job; They/Them is not a priority which clearly rules out building sites as workplaces. But university seminars can grind to a halt over naming protocols. After all, seminars are not that important: if you pay your money, you're going to get a two one anyway unless you make the mistake of studying a STEM subject.
I suspect too that They/Them is attractive to boys more than girls; the girls can always build online Presences by taking their clothes off and for some that earns daily mega-bucks; the boys remain in less overall demand with clothes off - girls remain obstinately more interested in brains and personality - and so the boys have to find other ways of building a path to alienated Twitter success.
There is another dimension, that of the private and the public. At universities in the 1960s, people were lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, kinky (sometimes quite imaginatively so, given the absence of accessible porn and sex toys). They might let you know this or they might not. But it was not the primary way in which they defined themselves: like everyone else, they were studying Maths or History; they were Conservative or Labour or Revolutionary Socialist. That has now changed; it is "gender identity" (especially if you are white) or, more seriously and convincingly, ethnic identity or religious identity which trumps everything else. And "trumps" is not a bad word here because very little of it seems to have anything to do with progressive politics in its usual sense; some of it seems to me frankly far to the right, in the hunting grounds of those who bully and intimidate TERFS, people who to me are simply the feminists - or descendants thereof - from whom I learnt my feminism back in the 1970s. They had and have a coherent set of critiques of patriarchal societies; our modern gender theorists - if "theorists" is the right word - have so far done no more than replace argument with intolerant, incoherent mystifications. There is no coherent argument or theory which supports the (bourgeois? neo-fascist? entitled?) ideology of self-identification. Hence the immediate recourse to outrage and witch-hunting.
Donald Trump self-identifies as the true President of the United States and about forty million American adults accept the self-identification, based on no evidence at all. It must be something in the drinking water.

What follows is the second chapter (of 26) in Trevor Pateman, The Best I Can Do (2016) available from Amazon or Blackwell.co.uk. It has not been updated
Bus Passes and Benefits
I've never claimed my Free Bus Pass. I would be ashamed to wave it while paying passengers watch. Imagine that it was Coloreds who paid and Whites who didn't .Where I live, looking at workers boarding the bus and paying their fares on the way to low-paid jobs, that's not far from the reality. Nor is it far from the reality that poor people pay and better-off Over Sixties don't. Yet the Over Sixties, quite solidly and sometimes fiercely, now seem to believe that they have a Human Right to bus travel paid for by others – even though Bus Passes are a very recent invention. How did this come about? The fault lies with our political parties, always looking for cheap ways to gain the favour of those most likely to vote. Any party now proposing to withdraw the passes would face a backlash of unreasoned wrath. My Benefits, right or wrong!
Bus Passes are not Pensioner Passes. You qualify by virtue of reaching your 60th birthday, well below the ages at which most people qualify for state pensions. At sixty, many people are still working, their children are gone, and they have paid off mortgages. They are better off than at any time before. Many of those waving Bus Passes – of course, not all – are better dressed than they have ever been. They can afford to be. Eventually, they will become old and even frail. It's always stressful to watch a frail elderly person board a bus, struggling with shopping bags and sticks. They don't need a Bus Pass any more. They need a once-a-week Taxi Pass. Or, rather, they need adequate pensions. Free bus passes are not only electoral bribes; they are also one of the cosmetic means by which feckless governments have sought to disguise the inadequacy of State Pension provision in the UK.
In relation to former earnings, that pension is much lower than the European average: about one third against an average of a half across twenty-seven other European nations. Our governments have been too fearful to force people to pay enough into retirement income schemes to fund adequate pensions and reluctant - until absolutely forced by a huge rise in life expectancy- to raise the pensionable age. Until very recently in the UK, the State Pension age for women was set at sixty. Men at sixty-five. No one challenged that extraordinary bit of entrenched sex discrimination. It had its origins in discriminatory thinking: women filled up the workforce during two world wars and thus qualified for pensions. But allowing them to take their pensions at sixty was also meant to ease them out of the workforce, leaving more room for men who had fought. Over time, the discrimination transformed from discrimination against women to discrimination in their favour. But for decades no one challenged it.
Self-respect is very much connected to the ability to make your own choices. Older people generally benefit from walking or even cycling but politicians want you to take the bus. The bus companies are happy enough; they get paid. The Bus Pass is a clunking decision by politicians to make choices for you: Here, my good woman, take this Pass and use that bus over there! And show some gratitude!
In a better world, older people would dispose of enough income to make their own choices and thus maintain an important aspect of personal dignity. It would be acceptable to withdraw the Bus Passes and add to the State Pension the equivalent of the money saved. All that you lose is the self-satisfied smile of the politician who wants you to doff your cap and thank him (Gordon Brown, Ken Livingstone).
The Bus Pass is a symptom of a deeper problem which resides at the core of the British Treasury and the way it relates to British governments. The Treasury hates two things above all: ring fenced money and entitlements. It is committed to the ideas that all revenues should go into a single big undifferentiated Pot under its own control and that all outgoings, whether to government departments or citizens, are a matter of discretion. That is, of course, an understandable way for a Treasury to think. It gives you the maximum of flexibility in what is often – thanks to politicians – a struggle to make the books balance. But it is also completely symbiotic with the interest of party politicians. They too want maximum discretion.
Let me give one example. British prime ministers now normally want to pick at least one war to fight during their time in office. These wars of choice can be vote-winners. They allow the prime minister to walk tall. Mr Cameron was deeply disappointed in 2013 when he was not able to get his war in Syria, supporting Syrian jihadis. He had better luck in 2015 when Parliament agreed to his new plan to attack jihadis in Syria. It put him up there with the Big Boys. But equally a government going to war does not want voters to think about the financial costs. The last thing it wants is being forced to impose a War Tax. That would make voters think twice about their gung-ho enthusiasms for bombing far away countries. Fortunately, the Treasury pot is usually big enough to absorb the costs of a small war, one which sticks to the cheap route to failure, that of bombing civilians. Money can be shifted between notional budgets and, if not, borrowing can be discreetly increased. But when monies are ring-fenced and there are entitlements, it becomes more difficult. As a result of this way of thinking, both Treasury and politicians are committed to the ideas (though they would never admit it) that All Benefits are Voluntary Hand Outs and No Benefits are Entitlements. In other words, citizens have no rights.
The obvious way to create entitlement to benefits is through insurance schemes. People pay into the scheme and, at the same time, they are informed of their entitlements under the scheme. That is what Britain's National Insurance system was once supposed to be about. But now it isn't. No one pays in anywhere near enough to accumulate entitlement to the benefits they can claim. Nowadays, it is merely a concession to the idea that there can be benefits to which you are entitled because you have insured for them. If the Treasury had its way, even that concession would be abolished. The Treasury loathes the idea of insurance. It gets in the way of tax and spend. The Treasury has almost a winning hand in one simple fact about our psychology. We hate it when we see money removed from our pay packet before we even get it: Pay as You Earn taxes, National Insurance. If National Insurance was for realistic sums of money we would hate it even more. But when it comes to paying 20% Value Added Tax on virtually everything we buy – well, we don't even notice it (often we don't see it separately itemised). This is the Treasury's winning hand – taxes we don't notice. Not only that, such invisible taxes are not linked to any specific government expenditures. The Treasury gets just the kind of money it wants, money it can use as it (or its political masters) please. In addition, VAT quietly and effectively reverses the progressive character of Income Tax and produces the desired overall result that the poor pay a higher percentage of their income in tax than the rich.
The symbiotic Treasury - Politician commitment to avoiding entitlements and favouring handouts immediately opens the door to the parlour game known as Benefits Scrounging, in which the winners are those who work out every handout for which they can make themselves eligible and promptly claim them all. Those who celebrate their 60th birthday by claiming their Free Bus Pass are benefits scroungers. They have no entitlement to the pass, they have done nothing to deserve it, they often don't need it – but it's there, a handout, yours for the asking.
We have an increasingly shaky idea of what it means to be a citizen. The benefits culture, created by politicians and sustained until very recently by an all-party consensus, has been disempowering. It encourages childishness at election times as voters shop around looking for the party which offers three for the price of two. No more than that. No expectation that you think about the future, about your children and grandchildren; certainly no expectation that you think about right and wrong, justice and fairness. An obvious route towards re-building ideas of citizenship involves, among much else, dismantling the Handouts culture and re-instating the idea of a contributory system: you pay in for health care, unemployment benefit, and pensions. That must be the expectation for nearly everyone, with a non-contributory but generous social safety net principally for those who are born disabled or become so. It also involves challenging the Treasury - Politician collusion. There is no reason why money should not be ring-fenced, why taxes on X should not go towards paying for Y and only for Y. If politicians want a war, then they must use a War Tax to pay for it. If voters want a war, then they should be obliged to put their money where their flags wave.
Probably the only interesting alternative to this approach is the idea of a universal Citizen Entitlement to a flat monthly income about big enough to live on. Everyone would get it, regardless of income or age. For those in work, for example, it would simply lower their tax bill. For those not earning, for whatever reason, it would be a handout but without the disfiguring features of the electoral bribes currently on offer to selected groups, most obviously and repeatedly in the UK, the voting over 60s. The idea has the merit of threatening the destruction of a thousand benefits bureaucracies, most of which end up in the newspapers for incompetence of one kind or another. So it is a sleek proposal. It has the de-merits that it hands money to people who don't need it and, in practice, will still have to include small print provisions for special cases like those of people whose disabilities oblige them to make use of expensive equipment or carers. From where I am coming from, universal citizen entitlement has the demerit that it puts all citizens in the position of state dependents. I have yet to read an argument that persuades me that is not the case.

Defending Dogs from Humans: a Case against Pet Ownership
Defending Dogs from Humans
[Dogs]… are the ultimate reminder that there is more to life than a smartphone
Gillian Tett, FT Weekend Magazine, April 13/14 2019
It being the opinion of some philosophers that the absence of an alternative has a great deal to do with the faithfulness of spaniels.
George Eliot, deleted sentence from Silas Marner.
In many - maybe most - countries, dogs are bred to satisfy the needs of humans. Some of those needs seem to me strong enough to justify the breeding; in this category I place sheep dogs, sniffer dogs, guide dogs. Those dogs are usually well-cared for. Other human needs I am doubtful about, including those identified by Gillian Tett in her "The Truth about Cat and Dog Owners"
At the top end, exotic dog brands are created to satisfy a demand for status symbols which fit into a designer handbag. Some of those exotic dogs suffer from chronic health problems which are reckoned a small price to pay for the exoticism. Far from providing a status symbol, ownership of such dogs ought to downgrade the owner's status as it would if the symbol was a dwarf or a black slave. Likewise, some dog breeds are engineered to create attack animals, and that should also be cause for concern.
But the vast majority of dogs are bred to satisfy ordinary human needs for companionship or to compensate for chronic emotional problems. It's not that easy to find a dog owner who does not have fairly obvious emotional needs or problems to assuage for which a dog has been selected as the drug of choice. Those problems are evident in the way dog owners address their dogs and talk about them to others. The stand-out literary representation of the situation is to be found in J R Ackerley's My Dog Tulip.
From the perspective of the owners, the wonderful thing about dogs is that they are liable to Stockholm Syndrome; they adopt the values of those who have taken them hostage. Occasionally, a dog will go on the attack, but not against its controller; the victim is either a complete stranger or else a child in the same house. But most of the time, dogs are compliant in a way that other human beings aren't. Part of being mentally healthy is being able to accept that other people don't always want to run fetch or sit up and beg. Some people can't come to terms with that and that's probably a mental health problem in itself, or a sign of one.
The dependence of owners on their dogs is not just a worrying psychological fact; it is also a significant social problem - and a growing one, since dog ownership is ever-increasing partly due to the advertising efforts of very large pet food corporations. They encourage the dependency in exactly the same way as the purveyors of alcohol and tobacco. Their advertising is long overdue for the same kind of regulation as applies to the promotion of other drugs, though I am not sure how you regulate sentimentality. You can't just proscribe doe-eyed, floppy-eared doggies; maybe you just have to ban all pictures of dogs in dog food advertisements. They are exploitative of canines who have not signed consent forms and do not get paid. They feed the traffic in dogs.
The dependency would not matter so much were it not for the fact that it spills over into a variety of social nuisances. Rather like street drinkers who scatter cans and piss on the pavement, dog owners think that public space exists for the benefit of their pets, that the main function of public space is to provide convenient pit stops for dogs. If dogs did not shit and piss, you can be absolutely certain that very few of them would be taken for such regular walkies.
Though in my country (Great Britain) it has now become more common for dog owners to Pick Up - and what does that tell us about their state of mind, for goodness sake? - they have at the same time become more grandiose about their own entitlements. A few decades ago, it was unusual for dogs to be allowed into shops, restaurants, offices, schools, hospitals, trains, buses …. Now they are everywhere and there are moves afoot to get them into the last hold-out against their presence, rented homes. So if you live in a converted Victorian terrace house with no sound-proofing and grubby public areas, prepare for the next deterioration in your quality of life. The dogs are coming.
Ultimately, we should consider a ban on the breeding of dogs as pets. That would be in defence of the dogs against humans. Such a world is a long way off. Right now, one public policy aim should be to marginalise dog owners in the same way that smokers have been marginalised. Huddled in doorways for a fag break, there is now no disguising the fact that theirs is an addiction which other people, who were once forced into the role of passive smokers, now refuse to share. It took a long time to reverse the grip of Big Tobacco over our lives.
In relation to dogs, the place to begin is reversion to how things were before. Dog ownership should be taxed as it once was, very much for the same reason that alcohol and tobacco are taxed. The taxes discourage use but also pay for the clean-up costs of other people's addictions: the street mess, the hospital admissions. Second, we should re-introduce the old policy of Dogs not admitted. Hospitals, chemists' shops, schools, anywhere that serves food and drink - these are obvious No Go areas. In relation to public recreational space, a good starting point would be to exclude dogs from half of them. Parents of young children, especially, would welcome this. Weekend football and cricket players would also welcome playing fields which do not do double duty as dog shitteries.
I like animals. I am uncomfortable with human dog-dependence, so obviously a symptom of emotional and psychological difficulty; but more to the point, I am tired of dog owners' sense of entitlement, their sense of privilege in which their rights trump those of dog-free people. It should be possible to enjoy a meal in a restaurant without someone else's dog under your feet and go for a walk admiring the scene, rather than keeping your eyes down for the dog shit.

Lord Frost and Imperial Measures
This is a short extract from my book The Best I Can Do (2016), available from Amazon and Blackwell
….. The UK has a pre-modern political system - a Ruritanian monarchy with the usual trappings of odd local rights and privileges (ownership of swans and such like); an unelected and completely corrupt second chamber; a first chamber designed to remind its Members of 19th century public schools. Those members have their own unbreakable habits - in the UK, the House of Commons, despite modest changes, remains submerged under fatuous rituals designed to create a backlog of real work and thus to stop as much change as possible. It is made tolerable to Members of Parliament only by the availability of large amounts of subsidised alcohol, recently revealed as the secret ingredient in the famous rowdiness of the House of Commons.
But even where politicians are open to change, they have to contend with the electorate's resistance. Voters are people who stand there, fold their arms and tell you that they always have done and always will do it THIS way. Urged to change, they will stamp their feet and cry, Shan't! Can't! Won't! As a result, for example, the United Kingdom has no coherent system of weights and measures which everyone uses. For a number of years, the European Union tried to get us to Go Metric. But teachers had no intention of going metric (they didn't understand these foreign ideas) and market traders saw the chance to become Metric Martyrs, and like the pound sterling, wasn't it part of our Tradition and Heritage to have fourteen pounds to the stone and , er, eight stones to the hundredweight (which is not one hundred but one hundred and twelve pounds ) and, your turn, how many hundredweights is it to the ton unless it's a short ton ….and so eventually the European Union gave up in the face of irredeemable stupidity. We were granted yet another opt-out.
As a result, the UK remains pre-modern, with an incoherent jumble of systems in use. Just visit any supermarket. Here you can find pints for some liquids, litres for others. Grams and kilos on one shelf, ounces and pounds on another. In Cornwall, maybe they still sell potatoes by the gallon. Weigh yourself on the bathroom scales, and some of us will use pounds and stones and some kilos. Medications are normally measured in milligrams and grams, millilitres and centilitres and not everyone understands what that all means so there are occasional disastrous results. Go to a fabric shop and you may find meters or you may find yards. Buy petrol and it's in litres, but distance measurement is in miles not kilometres. And, to rub it in, road signs show fractions of miles rather than decimal points of miles - as you approach the Channel Tunnel, you are counted down from two-thirds of a mile to one-third of a mile, a final flag-waving Work-That-Out-If -You-Can optout from new-fangled and, above all, foreign systems.
Two hundred years or more ago, as countries entered the modern era, so they unified, simplified and extended the reach of systems of weights and measures. Local and highly particular traditions disappeared as did local currencies. The decimal system and the metric system are the expression of this move to the modern era, and their near-universal adoption is one of the enduring achievements of the French Revolution. It was a political achievement but the actual work was done by mathematicians and scientists of the first rank – Condorcet, Laplace, Lavoisier. They tried to work with British and American colleagues – Thomas Jefferson notable among them – but both those countries turned up their noses at what the French were proposing. It took Britain until 1971 to decimalise its currency and 1984 until the anomaly of a ½ penny coin was removed.
But we still haven't made it into the modern era. Children learn how to use bits of different systems and none of them very well. They have no idea of how powerful a tool a unified system can be. They simply become good at bodging which is fine for a nation of bodgers. It's obtuse to expect children to be good at maths when their culture constantly tells them to muddle through with anything to do with numbers.
The moral is this: dysfunctional and, more generally, sub-optimal states of institutions and practices can persist indefinitely. They don't necessarily get eliminated any more than do pandas (who are terribly ill-adapted to their environment and generally miserable in consequence). All that happens is that people are generally miserable as they see their societies and economies grumbling and stumbling along, their politicians still aspiring to nothing more than an Opt Out from the modern world.
But people won't do anything about it. They made their vows long ago.

A Church of England Christening: Ultimate Wokeness?
The newspapers tell me that Harry and Meghan want to have Lilibet baptised into the Church of England, ideally in the private chapel of Windsor Castle; Godparents as yet unnamed.
The Church of England, despite its status as a state church and its enormous property empire, is very much down on its luck, and has to trim with the winds - fortunately, it has a lot of previous experience. So the words it now uses for the Christening Trade aren't quite those it used back when I was given no choice in 1947. Here are the instructions handed out at the time to my godparents and which would also have been those in place for Prince Charles in 1948:
Click to Magnify
It's all different now and I have cut and pasted from the C of E's website the latest version, rather more Laura Ashley and chilled white wine than the 1947 version - notice the nice generic "themselves", unfortunately attached to a singular "child".
https://www.churchofengland.org/life-events/christenings/guide-godparents/godparents-promises
In the christening service, you will make some big promises to support your godchild throughout their life. You could talk to your own vicar about what these promises mean, or join with your godchild's parents when they explore what a christening means. If you're wondering what these promises might look like in practice, or how you can begin, explore our links for some simple ideas.
These are the first things you'll be asked in the christening service:-
"Will you pray for them, draw them by your example into the community of faith and walk with them in the way of Christ?"
"Will you care for them, and help them to take their place within the life and worship of Christ's Church?"
To the questions above, the parents and godparents answer: "With the help of God we will".
You will then be asked some questions which you answer on behalf of a child who is too young to answer for themselves:
You will be asked to turn away from all things that are against God – the wrong in our own lives and to stand against the wrong in the world.
You will then be asked to turn positively towards Jesus, the companion and guide for the amazing journey ahead.
Alongside your godchild's parents, you will
Give your time to your godchild to talk to about the bigger questions of life – questions about hope, faith and love.
Model and encourage them to develop Christian values – being kind and compassionate towards others, being generous towards others in need with time or money and standing against things in the world that cause injustice and suffering.
Pray for your godchild through the ups and downs of their life and their faith journey.
Show them practically how to make good choices in life, for themselves and for others. This might mean talking to them about how to stay healthy, how to resist temptations that can harm us and other people, how to care for God's amazing world and how to handle peer pressure as they grow older.
Help them to learn more about the Christian faith, through their church and in other ways. Going to church with them, talking about what the Bible shows us and helping them learn how to pray are all brilliant ways to support your godchild.
That whatsoever king may reign, Still I'll be the Vicar of Bray, sir.

Mikhail Eisenstein and Sergei Eisenstein: Father and Son
In the mid 1990s, I made a trip to Riga and wandered the streets taking photographs. The photograph above shows detail from a Jugendstil building in Elisavetes iela. The building was designed by the architect Mikhail Eisenstein (1867 - 1921) - you can find better, more recent images of the same building on his Wikipedia page. Mikhail Eisenstein was the father of the Soviet film maker Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein (1898 - 1948) who began his career as a student of architecture, but parted ways with his father during the Russian Revolution. Looking at the enormous heads atop the building in Elisavetes iela, I imagined that despite their political differences, the son owed to his father the idea of using - in Battleship Potemkin and other films - images of vast and sometimes grotesque heads.

Young woman brutally beaten by thugs while defending friend from heinous homophobic abuse
This headline from Pink News of 21 July 2021 puzzles me. Is the paper worried that readers won't end up on message unless supplied with the brutally and the heinous? Well, that was a concern they had in the old Soviet Union where readers had to be guided, rather clumsily, to the right response. And it was indeed true, you could not entirely rely on Soviet citizens to be on message, especially as the message did change fairly frequently. But I doubt that is really a problem for Pink News. Very few people are in favour of women being beaten by thugs (though they may have no specific issue about young women); nor are they sympathetic to those who shout homophobic abuse, even if it's because their objection is a general one about shouting abuse rather than specific to homophobic abuse. So I wonder what is the function of the brutally and the heinous? Perhaps they are just the nervous tics of an insecure intern? Or maybe the tics take their inspiration from television's Canned Laughter, still in use after all these years just in case you don't find American comedy all that funny.
Soviet-style control anxiety also shows itself in British celebrity gossip magazines which never, but never, print a photograph of Prince George; they only ever print an adorablephotograph (it's one word, really). All royal babies are by definition adorable though that does not prevent the fact being spelt out. But, perhaps unfortunately, it does not serve to distinguish babies from dogs which - at least when owned by celebrities - are also adorable.
But what then is the function of adorable? I suppose it conveys a sense of the writer as someone who is permanently elated and effusive, rather like a party host who reckons that tonight is a wonderful occasion and everyone looks wonderful and isn't it wonderful that you were able to come. The cleverness of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight is that it manages to reclaim a trite (over-used and unthinkingly-used) expression and make it meaningful again. But I don't expect any celebrity magazine anytime soon to pull off the same trick with adorable. The word is totally fucked.
Added 31 July 2021:
Today Pink News is taking a different approach:
'Beautiful' queer woman and her dog both killed in 'gruesome' murder while walking in the park
Adding quote marks doesn't really solve the problem; it's still a control-anxiety introduction to the story. Compare and contrast with another murder reported in today's Independent:
Woman found beheaded on sidewalk in Minneapolis suburb
That's a news headline; and it does its work without suggesting that this crime is newsworthy because the woman was young or 'beautiful'.

That Diana Statue
The following letter was published in The Financial Times on 18 June 2021, uncut from the version I sent them:
Statues which reproduce the bodies of dead individuals in metal or stone are a bad idea, full stop. This ghastly genre has never produced anything of artistic merit or aesthetic value, which is a main reason why - to be honest - only dogs and pigeons take an interest. Neither the "wokes" nor the academics who feel under threat from government policy, as they appear in "The Battle over Britain's history", (FT Weekend, June 12), challenge the genre; they seem to think that introducing more "diversity" into this bizarre world of effigies and mummies would solve the problem. It won't, not least because heroes are never saints and reputations wear out faster than stone or metal. So: No More Statues! Our public spaces are cluttered with too many of the damned things already and the more that can be got rid of the better. And just to avoid a mis-reading of my argument: Collective memorials, like the Cenotaph, are entirely different in character which is why they are more readily appreciated both as prompts to remembrance and as works of art.

What follows is the complete text of one chapter in my book Between Remembering and Forgetting published in 2020 and easily available on Amazon and at Blackwells.co.uk Buy the book and you will find a photograph of Coles's Truss Manufactory included ....
Let Us Forget
We are afraid of forgetting. From school days on, we are chastised for it and as we sense ourselves ageing become terrified of any forgetfulness as if it can only be a premonition of much worse to come. At school, we got gold stars for remembering and now in our diaries dutifully note birthdays and wedding anniversaries shameful to forget. The diaries themselves are usually printed with reminders of dates we are expected to remember – Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day (such is modern romance).
The United Nations encourages us to remember a quite different list, to be found at http://www.un.org/en/sections/observances/international-days/ and currently extending to one hundred and fifty six days, beginning with the International Day of Commemoration of the Victims of the Holocaust on 27th January and ending on 20th December with International Human Solidarity Day. The month-long breathing space before it all starts up again is partly owing to the congestion created by the different parties of organised Christianity who remember Saviours born on different Christmas Days. Partly also to the fireworks and inebriation obligatory at New Year. Some of the UN days have a tragic connecting logic: World Tourism Day on 27th September is followed on the 28th by World Rabies Day. Other juxtapositions suggest something else: World Philosophy Day on 15th November is shortly followed on the 19th by World Toilet Day, a delight for fans of Rabelais and Mikhail Bakhtin.
Our obsession with not forgetting anyone or anything is exhausting. We are trying to remember too much and we don't know how to prioritise, as the time managers might put it. As a result, not only do we have over-stuffed diaries but - to take something I want to discuss - over-stuffed city streets cluttered with bronze and stone effigies, monuments in perpetuity to personages who were erected in order not to be forgotten.
Many tourists visiting London will already know that it is Nelson on top of the column in Trafalgar Square. But other characters are memorialised there, asking for whose names would put an end to anyone's aspirations to become a TV quiz millionaire. Nobody knows, nobody cares, but if I have driven you to your smart phone you will discover that they include George IV (who contends for the title of England's most dissolute king), General Sir Charles Napier ("the best way to quiet a country is a good thrashing") and Major General Sir Henry Havelock (Memoirs of the Afghan Campaign). You don't even have to make it up.
At the edge of the square, a backdrop to King Charles the First on the inevitable horse was once provided by large bold letters arranged downwards through three storeys and drawing attention to Coles's Truss Manufactory. They have long since been removed, despite the apostrophe being correctly placed1. But take down those other monuments to past glories because we now no longer have any use or have simply forgotten? Oh no. They are history, they are heritage. True, no one is corrupt enough to claim that the monuments have artistic merit. No one even tries that on. I defy you to find an aesthetically pleasing, artistically significant monument to a dead king or general bigged up on a plinth or a horse or doubly on both. You might, I suppose, try the Bronze Horseman – the equestrian monument to Peter the Great in St Petersburg. But then look again and you'll see that it's the nameless horse which is the success story, not the toy rider. One day they will erect Vladimir Putin and sit him on a motorbike; there will be much knowledgeable discussion of the bike.
I realise that there are people now who want to bring more balance, more diversity to our city streets and squares, people who want to big up a different kind of person. It's been done recently in London, where in Parliament Square the bronze effigy of a suffragette now stands among the dead men: Millicent Fawcett holding a tea towel to advertise the firm of Gillian Wearing. It's dire, and necessarily so. If imagination does not extend beyond bigging up in the traditional mould - bronze or marble, on a plinth, upright bearing, best foot forward, chin up, strong gaze towards heaven - then you reduce the challenge and energy of your revolutionaries, your radicals and feminists, to fit the smugness of your generals, your slavers and those famous only for their accident of birth. Get rid of them all. Have the courage of your own forgetting. But also have the courage to remember in different ways – how is it that we have limited them so disastrously?
Memory starts out as personal memory. He was killed in the war, and she remembers him and will remember him until she dies when all will be forgotten. In peacetime, if he had died in a car accident, then neighbours and friends would rally round. In wartime, it is quite different. Everyone has their loss, their losses. Likewise, in a mining disaster when many die it is a community which is affected as well as families and individuals. So instead of those who have not suffered rallying round those who have, we have shared suffering, shared grief. In that context, it is not surprising that people should look towards shared remembering.
Grief fades with time, and so too does memory. If we are afraid of that, or guilty about it, then one function of a shared ritual of remembrance is to keep the memory alive, perhaps even revive the grief. In some ways it seems a bit perverse; in other respects, we might argue that nothing is ever truly forgotten, no grief ever truly exhausted and so it is better to return, from time to time, to the scene of the crime committed against our hopes and happiness. Or at the very least to show some respect, especially to the memory of those who died that others might live.
In New South Wales, the Mount Kembla mining disaster of 1902 killed ninety six miners leaving thirty three widows and one hundred and twenty fatherless children in the adjacent mining village. We can be sure that none of those children are still alive, but an annual commemoration of the disaster still takes place on the 31st July and the memorial erected still stands. Why? Well, probably some children of the fatherless children are still alive and their lives were no doubt marked in some way, probably a very significant way, by an event which preceded their birth. The disaster is part of their history, even part of the history of one or two further generations.
The last Holocaust survivor will die in the near future, but the Holocaust will take much longer to die in the lives of its children, grand-children, great-grand-children. Eventually, however, it will become one of those things which took place a long time ago and in another country, rather like the Conquest of the Incas which is not now marked by solemn occasions anywhere, though its horrors have been amply documented, and for centuries, in historical works.
But it is not just for short-term memory purposes that people want the monuments, the commemorations, the days of remembrance; they want them to remind us of something, to teach us a lesson. We learn early on that life is about being taught lessons. Mount Kembla reminds us of the negligence of mine owners, one of the most enduring negligences, still delivering its deaths on every continent. So the point of the commemoration, one might say, is directed beyond and outside the circle of those who were most immediately and intimately affected. That, of course, means that there is the possibility of a tension arising between the needs of those directly in line of the hit and the motives of activists and ideologues. It is a commonplace that suffering is hi-jacked, agitators heading to the scene, the current disaster cut and pasted onto the standard issue placard. The Holocaust is well on the way to suffering a similar fate, not so much remembered and grieved over as used to coerce.
Such mismatches between suffering and how it is made use of are most obvious in the ways in which nation states officially recognise the war deaths of those they have sent to fight and, sometimes also, the civilians who were victims of the enemy. In the old Soviet Union, the party line dictated that the twenty million casualties in World War Two could only be memorialised by huge and brutal installations which suggested the crushing might of Russia and the iron will of its fighters. But those memorials - lacking any elements of simplicity, intimacy and privacy - must surely have left those still grieving with feelings of awkwardness and confusion. It could have been done differently.
One day during a 1998 holiday, I walked around the National Gallery of Armenia in Yerevan. My attention was caught by a very large painting (196 x 250 cm) which depicts all kinds of simple but very colourful flowers stuck in jam jars, often only a few to a jar, lined up in rows as if on shelves, some pieces of fruit also scattered around. I smiled, felt warmed, but also felt that the painting expressed some sadness. I looked at the gallery description. It told me that the painting - by Martiros Saryan and dated to 1945 - was a tribute to Armenians who had fought in the Red Army, both those who survived and those many who died. I was astonished and moved. I now saw the jam jars placed on simple graves with whatever flowers were to hand, and imagined the actions and feelings of those who bent to place them there. Perhaps also, the flowers could belong in the centre of kitchen tables, set to celebrate a safe homecoming.
If that second way of seeing the painting is legitimate, then Saryan has done a very interesting thing. His painting allows for the expression of both sadness and joy. If we follow through that idea, it suggests that our habit of firmly separating celebrations from commemorations or remembrances, gaiety from solemnity, should at least sometimes be disrupted. It often is at modern funerals which try to celebrate the life of the deceased instead of mourning their passing. That has its dangers. It may work well for a professional colleague or even a friend of long-standing. It may be harder for those still punched into immediate grief and, worse, little more than denial if they seek to find laughter simply because too much embarrassed by tears.
But even with that caveat, we need to loosen up, be more imaginative about the ways in which we choose to remember as well as more willing to acknowledge and even welcome the fact that we forget. For the present at least, all new statues should be firmly off the plinth if the best we can come up with are effigies in the style of mummification originally favoured by the nasty party of humanity. Those old statues put up to forgotten bit-players of Empire should simply come down. They have had their day.
That a subscription was raised to put up a monument in perpetuity places no obligations on future generations. Let us continue to have the history books about English public school boys trained to put down Indian mutinies and Afghan defiance. But since we have forgotten their names and if, perchance, do remember but no longer admire, the statues should be cleared off the streets, out of the parks, and removed to some outdoor museum – or sent to the scrap yard since they have no artistic or aesthetic value. There would be no vandalism involved. Private graves in cemeteries are eventually bulldozed to make way for new coffins or simply to create public green spaces. No one much cares, though one might want to save for museum purposes the occasional drooping angel to illustrate how monumental masons have conceived drooping angels through the centuries. Likewise, one might reserve a few Queen Victorias and Lenins for the clinical gaze of the historians.
A private subscription or a centuries-old governmental decision cannot take away from us the right to control our own public spaces. We are the ones who have to live in them now and, if the corpses mummified in bronze or stone are forgotten or disdained, they should go. We redecorate our private living spaces, we re-furnish our rooms. There is no reason why we should not do the same with our streets and other public spaces. I know that the urge to clutter public space is very strong – municipal authorities abhor a vacuum and will never miss an opportunity to put up yet another street sign. But we should resist the temptation and if we want to install new things, then we should think more widely and look to the merits of temporary installations, of things which change through the seasons like plants and trees, of objects which are less literal and less static, like fountains - almost everywhere a neglected genre of public art. We should be more willing to recognise that most heroes are local heroes and temporary ones too, more suitable for writing about in history books than parked on a plinth on our pavements, their only devotees pigeons and dogs.
There is something to be said for a cityscape where all that is solid melts into air. It has been rammed into us from childhood that forgetting is a fault. We should challenge that. It's only human to forget and we should sometimes accept our humanity. Those men on plinths had their time and now we have ours. If we are afraid of them, it is only in the Oedipal way that Don Giovanni is afraid of the ghost-statue of the Commendatore. From time to time, such fear is overcome and the statues of Stalin and Saddam Hussein are pulled down to public glee. Since we have largely forgotten them, there's not much glee to be had in pulling down the bit players, the Napiers and the Havelocks. It's merely a task for municipal authorities, charged to sustain public spaces which are a pleasure to share both with our friends and the ever changing cast of strangers who come and go. All might take passing delight in a less literal cityscape, furnished with fountains and avenues of trees but not with bodies in rigor mortis petrified on pedestals. For those who deserve to be remembered, there are much better ways of prompting our memory2.
1. In Culture and Anarchy (1869) Matthew Arnold is horrified by the backdrop standing where it ought not which was reason enough to search for the photograph; Arnold has no qualms about Charles the First.
2. This essay was written before I read David Rieff's excellent book In Praise of Forgetting (2016). Rieff takes a cue from Josef Yerushalmi's Zakhor: Jewish History and Jewish Memory (1982) and probes the idea that the antonym of "forgetting" is not "remembering" but "justice" (p. 91) and expands this by introducing the term "peace". It is forgetting which often enough enables peace, even without justice; in contrast the demand to remember links easily to the demand for justice, understood in terms of crimes and punishments. Rieff mobilises some significant examples of historical moments when forgetting has been accepted as a way out from conflict, yielding peace even if it does not deliver justice. He references the end of white rule in South Africa, Spain at the time of Franco's death, Chile in 1990, the 1995 Dayton accords in Bosnia, and the 1998 Good Friday agreement in Ireland.

Home Features Centuria's Ross Lees on tightening warehouse yields in Australia
Australian industrial and logistics real estate yields are set to compress further, with an ever-growing crowd of investors fuelling competition for assets, says Centuria Industrial REIT's Ross Lees.
"We're seeing so much more demand for these assets and the pricing getting to levels we haven't seen before," Lees, fund manager of the A$1.2bn (US$850m) warehouse trust, told APAC Real Estate.
Online shopping has energised the industrial and logistics real estate markets, as e-commerce players and traditional retailers seek out the best locations to service home deliveries and supply chains.

A rush to capture rental growth in hot property markets like Sydney and Melbourne drove down super prime yields by 23 basis points nationally to an average of 6% in 2018, according to advisor CBRE.
"Yields will continue to tighten for the industrial class, driven primarily by the growing field of investors competing for a smaller bucket of assets," Lees said.
Bringing on new stock has its challenges despite the increasing demand for well-positioned warehouse stock around Australia's major cities.
The growth in e-commerce is projected to stimulate occupier demand for an additional 350,000 sq.m. of new industrial and logistics space each year in Australia until 2022, predicts CBRE.
Yet the supply of available land in coveted industrial locations has become scarce due to strong land take-up and demand from competing uses like residential.
The robust supply-demand conditions have pushed up land values, with 1.6-hectare plot land values rising by 6.3% on average across Australia in 2018, and up a staggering 21.9% in Melbourne.
The investment side is also changing, says Lees, with more investors zeroing in on Australia and less new stock coming to market.
"Ten years ago, there were a lot of private developers in the space and they would sell into the market, but now all the developers are putting them into their own funds," the fund manager said.
Lees has also seen the field of investors grow, with dozens of groups, including local and international REITs, private equity and fund managers, looking at warehouses at the moment.
The impact of dwindling appears to be rippling throughout the sector.
"Everybody has been used to having options in the market," said Lees.
"We've always known there to be the opportunity for someone to develop the next block and it's actually becoming more limited to do that.
"I don't know necessarily know if the occupiers have realised that yet, and even some of the developers haven't realised that with how they'll chase the deal."
The fund manager pointed to Sydney, where the city may not be able to grow much further due to national parks to the north and south, coastline to the east and the Blue Mountains to the west.
"This year, we've probably seen 20% rental growth in some parts of Sydney," he said. "In my career, that's never happened."
Rental growth will continue in Sydney and parts of Melbourne, driven primarily by the cost of land, he said.
Centuria Industrial REIT owns 41 industrial assets located around the country, and is listed on the Australian stock exchange.
In December last year, the REIT bought two warehouse properties in Brisbane and Perth for a combined A$54.4m, as it targeted locations capital city airports.
The REIT is managed by Centuria Capital Group, an ASX-listed investment manager with A$5.6bn of assets under management.

The Kinsey Sicks is celebrating 25 years of dragapella, performing their hit Off-Broadway show "Things You Shouldn't Say" and "Naked Drag Queens Singing" until September at the Art House in Provincetown, Mass.
The tour is bittersweet however as Benjamin Schatz, founder and chief writer for the group, will retire along with his character Rachel at the end of the month. The quartet was founded in 1993 when five friends went to a Bette Midler concert as the Andrews Sisters and were requested to sing.
Their decline was short lived once they realized that they all had musical backgrounds. From then on, they've performed all around the country at some of the most prestigious venues such as Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, the Nordstrom Recital Hall in Seattle, the Broward Center in Ft. Lauderdale, the Hobby Center in Houston, the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen and the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles. Schatz/Rachel spoke with the Blade about her beginnings with the Kinsey Sicks, her love for the stage and her plans for retirement.
WASHINGTON BLADE: How were you introduced to drag?
BENJAMIN SCHATZ: I used to do drag in college but I always did it as a politically provocative thing. This was back in the '70s so drag was pretty threatening back then. Back in the late '80s and early '90s when I was an attorney and executive director at the peak of the age of terror in terms of discrimination and hatred, I used to organize drag excursions with my friends. Part of my job as an activist back then was to be a respectable homosexual and I wanted to remind myself that I wasn't, in fact, respectable.
BLADE: When you founded the Kinsey Sicks, how did the character of Rachel come about? Or has Rachel always been the name you used while doing drag?
SCHATZ: Back in college my friends and I assigned each other drag names. I'd do it to anybody who was queer, male or female, and I'd give them a drag name. So my friends called me Rachel. The character of Rachel has evolved or devolved over time to be somewhat different from Ben I hope. It was just a name that people originally assigned to me and it stuck.
BLADE: How has Rachel shaped or shifted the way the way you present yourself as Ben?
SCHATZ: I often say that Rachel gives Ben a fighting chance of being socially appropriate because Rachel gets all of that out of Ben's system. Rachel is an unboundaried mess. A delightful unboundaried mess and let's just say Ben has a tendency to let Rachel do the work for him. Rachel has changed over time. One of the Kinsey Sicks moms said, "You should make Rachel more vulnerable," and I did. I started making her more vulnerable and more lovable. She's a lovable unboundarly mess. I think Rachel represents for a lot of people their queerness, unboundaried, embarrassing self. But she does it with such utter cluelessness that you just can't help but love her. There is nothing she won't do or say. Although, as a writer, there are many directions we won't have her go. People think that we'll go anywhere but in fact, as a writer, we're very careful about racism, gender stereotypes and sexism. We're very careful about who's the butt of our jokes.
BLADE: Speaking of your writing, as I was looking at your repertoire of songs, I noticed the amount of creativity that goes into creating these and I think it's amazing. So, how do you come up with these titles?
SCHATZ: I appreciate your lack of taste and judgment. That's a promising sign. So there's three different types of writing goes on. About 60 percent of our songs are parodies and 40 percent are original songs. For parodies, that just happens when I hear something and all of a sudden the idea comes to mind. It's very easy to write words to another tune. The challenge is to change as few words as possible, use the original lines and completely subvert the original intention. So once I get an idea for a parody, I spend a lot of time with the original rhyme scheme and thinking about making as few changes as possible and words I can change the intent and the meaning 100 percent. With original songs, that's more of isolating myself. I'll often say I'm taking this time on the side to write a song. I don't really know where they come from. I have no idea. Then there's the writing of the script, which is a whole other beast in itself. They utilize different skills and they're all entirely different skills than the performance. So, I can't write when we're on the road. That's sort of an extroverted energy while writing is very quiet, withdrawn and un-Rachel like. I hate writing. I love having written. You can have an office job and coast but if you're writing you want to write the best you can and you never can write the best you can. There's always something better you can do which can make it torture.
BLADE: With you retiring from the show, how will that process change?
SCHATZ: The great thing is that I still get to offend people all over the world without having to get dressed or leave my house. That's what I'm really excited about. I love the performing. I've loved it as much as I ever have but, touring life after a couple dozen years, and it's not like we're Cher or Madonna with a glamorous entourage, we're schlupping luggage upstairs at three in the morning. It loses its glamour after a couple dozen years when your body gets old. So, I have mixed feelings about retiring from touring but my body does not. So, it'll require more communication with the group because part of what we do now is we test it out on the road and we say, "Oh that didn't get a laugh" or "that needs a different ending musically because it doesn't have enough pop" and I won't be there for that. There will also be times when the group will be performing where I am. It's much easier to critique what's going on on stage when you're not actually on stage performing. I will really be thrilled to be able to write stuff and then be in the audience not trying to remember my lines, or my note, or my choreography. Just to see what's going on and how the audience reacted. That's something I'm really looking forward to.
BLADE: Angel is the group's newest member. How will the transition from Rachel to Angel affect the content of the show?
SCHATZ: Well the show is a show I wrote and we started it off with me. Angel is taking over the spot. Rachel and I met with J.B. (McClendon), who plays Angel, and we got to know each other and I think I gave him some useful tips. We've had people replace other people in the past, not too often because we have a lot of longevity like Jeff (Trixie) who's been with us for 16 years, so the others tell me great things. It takes awhile for people to sink to the level of performing with a group. So there's a certain kind of observation that's our own and I think that culture remains very strong. So the others are really excited about Angel's performances and I think they have the tools to guide Angel to blossom over the years to come.
BLADE: You all are currently performing two shows: "Things You SHouldn't Say" and "Naked Drag Queens Singing." How will "Naked Drag Queens Singing" be different or similar to previous shows?
SCHATZ: The show that they're doing in Rohoboth ("Things You Shouldn't Say") was the first time we broke character in the show. It's a really powerful show, on top of being hilarious, it's also very heartbreaking. So the question was what do we do after that? So "Naked Drag Queens Singing" was another "let's try this experiment and see if it works." So, everybody breaks character and we kind of go seamlessly back and forth between character and not and talking with the audience. It's a very exciting experiment and it's been going fantastically so that really people get eight characters for the price of four. It's a really interesting experiment because lots of drag performers are very tethered to their personas and I think a lot of people are interested to see what's behind drag and the members of the Kinsey Sicks are very thoughtful. While we are a comedy group, there's a lot of thought behind what we have to say and why we say it. It was another big risk and it turns out it was a successful one.
BLADE: Let's say under this current administration that the Kinsey Sicks were invited to perform at the White House. What would you all perform and what would you want to accomplish?
SCHATZ: I would totally take the opportunity to perform. My personal goal would be to induce a heart attack. I think that would be a worthwhile goal. People like the current administration need to be challenged. They shouldn't have safe spaces. So I would perform at the White House. And I'll tell you what; when we're done with this conversation, I'll sit by my phone waiting for the invitation. I would definitely come out of retirement for that.
BLADE: What will you miss about performing?
SCHATZ: Well, I'll definitely miss picking on big guys and sitting on them. It tends not to work very well in civilian life. I love making people laugh, making people think (and) I love the uniqueness of us. There's nothing like us. I never feel more alive then when I'm on stage and I never feel more dead then when I'm on the road waking up at 3 in the morning getting ready for the next gig. I'll miss the incredible excitement and satisfaction. I love the feeling of constantly growing and I do a lot of improvisational humor so I'll definitely miss that. But, the goal is to quit while you still love it and while people still love you.
BLADE: Is there anything in your personal life that you'll be doing to replace that theatrical high?
SCHATZ: I promised myself that I would set no goals for my retirement for at least a year. I've spent my whole life perpetually making the impossible happen so right now I'm letting things happen to see where things go which is kind of revolutionary. I suspect that I'll be writing again soon. Well, I know I'll be writing for the group. I don't know what I'll write. I don't know what I'm doing and I'm wildly excited about it. I know there will be other chapters but I don't know what they'll look like and that is fantastic.
BLADE: What's been your favorite Kinsey experience?
SCHATZ: There's a particular kind of experience that I love like Salina, Kansas. Going into conservative communities and rocking people's world and not holding back. We did this essentially county fair and there were letters to the newspaper and protests and threats on our lives. We did four sets over two days and by our fourth set, we drew the largest crowd the musical festival has ever drawn. And we did it unapologetically. We cleaned up our language but not our content. When you've got a bunch of kids around you're not going to say the f-word. But we had very political songs talking about racism and homophobia and I love the feeling of going to a place like that and winning them over shocking the hell out them and making them love you for it. People who have no business loving us coming out and loving us anyway. I was an activist for years and still consider myself one today, but what you can do with laughter and music in terms of opening people up, is something you can't do in another context. I'm so proud at the fact that we've been able to do that and we continue to do that.
BLADE: Who's your all-time favorite drag queen?
SCHATZ: I would name two who are very different: Divine and Coco Peru. Divine was absolutely fearless and was not trying to pass and was not trying to look pretty. Divine was drastically provocative and in your face. Coco is so thoughtful and I love how she mixes comedy with heart, with politics and with integrity. You do not leave her show without thinking something and feeling something.
BLADE: Where do you see the Kinsey Sicks going in the next decade?
SCHATZ: If you would've asked me when we started the luck we'd have 26 years later, I never would've thought it possible. I think the goal is to be provocative, fresh, to take risks and to be unafraid. We'd be a lot more commercially successful if we would've said, "What does the market want and let's do that." So we always try to be cutting edge, to push the boundaries, to test things and to risk provoking people and people know when their seeing something that it's live and not safe. So I hope the group continues to take risks because there's no shortage of people out there who are playing it safe and who's taking the less controversial route. To take risks creatively in terms of what we're willing to do. That's the goal and to keep loving what we do.

The Directors were empowered to select and buy land suitable for the cemetery during a second meeting in April 1877. They reported back in January 1878 that after careful consideration, they had purchased suitable lands and that it was fenced and Mr. Pollock of Galt had prepared a map laying out walks and roadways and that five acres were now ready for occupation.
By 1885, the first removals from outlying burial grounds were considered and this was strengthened by the action of the Village Council in prohibiting burials within the corporation.
On the same date permission was granted to purchase a stove for the house at the entrance to the Cemetery as it was found necessary for the Caretaker while awaiting funerals in the winter.
In 1890 the Company authorized the buying of the first equipment to look after the grounds which included a step ladder, a pair of new shears and some chairs for the gate house also the Caretaker was authorized to secure paint and do the outside of the gate house.
At first, many of the Directors took a hand in the care of the cemetery on a volunteer basis but in 1883, $10 was set aside for the payment of a part-time caretaker for one year. This was raised to $65 a year in 1885 and again in 1891 to $1.25 per day and by 1900 it was back to $200 per year.
Financial Statements were presented each year at the Annual Meeting and it is noted that in 1893 the Financial Statement was published in the Ayr Advocate and also 150 hand bills were authorized to be printed and distributed. At the same meeting, special permission was granted to the Shareholders to use the Company hand mower when cutting their own lots, as each lot owner looked after his own lot.
The first direct move towards a perpetual care fund was started in 1885, when Mr. David Goldie in his will left $1,000 to the Company on the condition that the Company in a period of over just one year raised another $3,000 to be set up as a special fund. The interested from such a fund to be used for the care of the pathways and roads of the cemetery. The Company raised the necessary money and this was a start of a reserve fund, which in 1960 had grown to over $25,000.
In 1926 consideration was given to a proper building at the gates for people to await funerals and later in 1929 an estimate of $1,800 was received and the matter was put off.
At this time a donation was received from Jas. G. Robson amounting to $500 for new entrance gates and it was decided to use this money to erect proper pillars and in 1932 Mr. A.E. Watson, on behalf of himself and his family, donated the iron gates and fence between the new pillars in memory of John Watson. These gates and fence were designed and built by Mr. A.E. Watson in his plant at Ayr.
In 1944, Miss Elizabeth Dolman Watson left to the Ayr Cemetery Company a sum of $4,000 and in 1950 her sister Miss Mary Urie Watson left a similar sum of money amounting to $5,000 for the erection and furnishing of a suitable Chapel for the Cemetery.
In view of this $9,000 received, the Directors of the Company decided to ask the lot owners of the Cemetery if they would come forward and donate the balance of an estimated cost of $18,000. Suitable letters were sent out and as a result in 1951 sufficient funds were received to enable the Directors to go ahead.
Mr. Ray Hall of Galt was employed as architect and a very excellent building of stone was completed with a fire proof vault erected near the gates on the east side of the entrance.
Since then interested people and organizations have donated furnishings and the Company has installed up-to-date lighting and heating units making the building complete.
Through careful management of funds and the continued interest of all those connected with the Cemetery Company, the cemetery has become one of the best in Ontario and when the Inspector from the Ontario Department of Health checked the complete set of records, the grounds, chapel and equipment in August 1959 in his report said: "The Cemetery and records are being kept in accordance with the Cemeteries Act and that it is with pleasure that we extend our congratulations with respect to the same." "Condition of the Cemetery – very well cared for".

This Sunday in America…at the Church of The Compassionate Conservative, Beloved Whistleblower Publisher, once again the Right-Wing Reverend Charles Foster Kane was asking God's help "Praying for Precise and Plainspoken Political Punditry, because during this Fake News Pandemic, America needs accurate and honest expert opinions more than ever.
Wikipedia says: Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person, and/or gain financially or politically, often with sensationalist, exaggerated, or patently false headlines that grab attention. Intentionally misleading and deceptive fake news is different from obvious satire or parody which is intended to humor rather than mislead its audience.
The Trumpster railed against "Fake News" during much of the 2016 Presidential Campaign, but according to The Fix, Trump's first-ever tweet containing the phrase "fake news" was posted on Dec. 10, 2016, more than a month after Election Day. By then, the press had reported extensively on the way social media platforms such as Facebook facilitated the spread of fake news articles.
And for sure, everybody will be watching the announcement of Trump's Fake News Awards on Monday.
However, preceding all of that folderol, this headline containing the term "Fake News" originally appeared in The Blower's "DemocRAT Talking Points Memo" on April 9, 2016.
And Here's The Fake News The BOSTON GLOBE Is Set To Publish Tomorrow, In The Lampoon Trump Edition Of Sunday Paper.
And on December 22, 2015, The Blower reported TruthorFiction.com had declared the false report of Obama's supposedly launching a war on Christmas with a "fake news website" called Fox News The FB Page.
Still, The Blower has been talking about the concept of "Fake News" for much longer, although we may not have been using that precise term. Our Whistleblower Archivist found a November 6, 2006 reference to the Whistleblower Truth Squad's exposing all those lies members of the mainstream news media had been "too lazy, too stupid, or too dishonest to report." We should've used the term "Fake News" then. "We would have really been ahead of the curve," explained Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane at yesterday's meeting of the Conservative Agenda.

The Chritianity, Judaism, the Bible, science, and religion
Hidden Bible Codes: Hoax or prophecy?
"The biggest news of the millennium-maybe of all human history." Baltimore Sun.
"I only recall four predictions made in the book. The 2006 nuclear war, the assassination of Arafat, the worldwide economic depression beginning in 2002, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons by Libya. [Don Scott pointing out false predictions derived from Bible codes in an Amazon.com review.]
From medieval times, the belief that the Bible contains some type of secret code has fascinated many people, including the great scientist Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727).
In 1958, Rabbi Weissmandel found some interesting patterns in the Hebrew Pentateuch (also known as the Books of Moses, the Torah, and the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament). Unfortunately, he had no access to computers, and so was not able to fully develop his findings.
A team at Hebrew University in Jerusalem reported remarkable findings of codes buried in the book of Genesis in 1988. Other researchers followed, claiming to find predictions in the ancient text of "the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 to a Los Angeles earthquake in 2010." 1 Some authors capitalized on these findings and published a series of best-selling religious books. Michael Drosnin's book "The Bible Code" reached the #3 spot on the New York Times best-seller list. 2 By 1999-OCT, at least 12 books had been written on the topic; we were only able to find two books skeptical of the idea of hidden codes.
The actual truth about the Bible codes was finally revealed by statistical analysis: they are not confined to the Pentateuch; they are found everywhere -- in any . ELS codes are found with approximately equal frequency in the Book of Genesis, the Qur'an -- Islam's holy book, Tolstoy's "War and Peace," or in any sufficiently long text written in any language -- probably even in this web site which totals over 350 megabytes of text and HTML coding.
Even though Drosnin's claims were exposed as meaningless, he published a subsequent book "Bible Code II: The Countdown" in 2003-OCT. 3 By late 2003-FEB, it had risen to achieve a sales rank of 1,091 at Amazon.com -- an impressive rating since Amazon.com lists millions of books in their web site. By 2004-JUL, its rating has sunk to about 40,000. By 2012-SEP it has sunk to 316,275.
In 2010-OCT, Drosnin published the third book in the series: The Bible Code III: The Quest. It predicted a nuclear attack by Osama bin Laden on the U.S. in 2011, and that Sarah Palin (R-AK) was going to run for the presidency in 2012. There were 34 reviews on Amazon.com's web site; 14 were five-star reviews -- the highest possible rating. 13 were 1-star reviews -- the lowest possible rating. By 2012-SEP, it was Amazon's 41,849th most popular book.
