1939 Alvin 2020
Alvin Donalds
April 22, 1939 — August 1, 2020
“I’m FREE”
Alvin James Donalds, 81, of Overland Park, Kansas passed peacefully at home on Saturday (Sabbath), August 1, 2020. He was surrounded by beloved family and friends and basked in a sweet ambience of love in the presence of angels and our Heavenly Father.
“Danny” as he was affectionately known in his early- to mid-years, and “Uncle” in his latter retirement years was divinely positioned as the second and last child into the marital union of Joseph and Adeline Donalds. He was born on Saturday (Sabbath), April 22, 1939 in the town and parish of Falmouth Trelawny on the beautiful island of Jamaica West Indies. As a boy, Danny and his family moved to the parish of St. Ann, then later relocated in various cities in St. Catherine.
To his mom, Danny was a charming boy with early characteristics of a caring, loving, empathetic, and compassionate soul. Adeline could depend on him to complete chores and tasks around and outside of the home. She quickly identified and nurtured these gifts by connecting and commissioning him to read and memorize the Word of God, especially the Psalms. This early training would set Danny apart and prepare him for what would become a long life of ministry of encouragement, teaching, hope, healing, and love.
Danny attended the Brittanville School and later succeeded in his local junior exams. He was a hard worker at heart and developed a strong work ethic very early. At the age of 14, he was offered his first job at the Jobson Rio Magna Estates with 1,066 acres of produce. His main duties stationed him in the office where he maintained the company’s accounts receivables and payables as a Bookkeeper. His secondary duties included making weekly deliveries of bananas with the company’s truck to the railroad loading station. At 10 shillings per week, Danny was able to support himself and contribute to the economy of his home. He worked hard and long hours for many years. At around 19 years old, Danny became very ill for lack of eating on time. During this period, his family and community thought they would lose him, but through nourishment and much prayer and fasting from family and community, God gave grace and favor and restored him to full health. At age 20, Danny re-entered the workforce and began working with Stanigar Hardware and Furniture Department in Linstead, St. Catherine. Here, he worked faithfully and wisely, incorporating new disciplines that guided him to create a balance between his workload, taking 15-minute breaks in between lunch and departure time.
About a year and a half into this position, a wealthy man by the name of Canute Lawrence, a long-time customer of Springvale Estates, noticed his keen and adept skills, warm and charismatic personality, and attentiveness to details. Mr. Lawrence was so impressed with his work that he felt compelled to offer him a contract as his Accountant with a third more pay, and a promise of an increase of one to three pounds each year. Danny felt thrilled with this proposal, mused on it for weeks, then accepted it. With perks of an estate vehicle and other favorable benefits, it almost seemed as if he had won the lottery! Soon, his life felt like new money—having a polished appearance, strutting with confidence, and becoming a favorable suitor among the ladies. A few years after, Springvale Estates became the well-known Rice Mill in Spanish Town, St. Catherine where Danny coded the company’s books. Notwithstanding his humble beginnings, Danny could not have imagined how these early foundational jobs and mastery of skills would later become the stepping-stones toward a coveted position with the Ministry of Agriculture long before it became a large governing body for the Agri-sector in Jamaica. It was here that Danny would spend the rest of his work life, starting from a position of Area Pool Officer and climbing the promotional ladder to that off an Administrator in the Engineering Department, spanning over three decades before retiring at age 65.
In the early 1960’s, Danny met Hermine Eccles (who pre-deceased him). The two got married in 1964, and from this union they produced five children: Richard, Marvelette, Christine, Michael, and Andrew. The couple went on to live many years together in St. Catherine, Jamaica. It was here that they established their new home together in Meadowvale, St. Catherine. Danny, being a lover of nature, created a garden paradise at the home that was surrounded by diverse flowers and fruit trees. He would carefully tend to them—they seemed to have been an extension of his family. So, it is not unusual to hear him having conversations with his plants as he watered them daily with much care and love.
Then in the late 1990’s, Alvin met Lilieth Nelson and the two fell in love. They got married in the year 2000, and the union produced a daughter they named Caelia. After spending many years together in Jamaica, the family relocated in 2011 to Overland Park, Kansas. This became their permanent home. It offered them, not only job opportunities but a strong family support system of siblings, cousins, and other relatives and very close friends. Alvin so endeared himself to this new family that he was called “Uncle.” They embraced him as their own. His way of being dissolved distinctive lines of difference . . . hardly anyone felt uncomfortable around him. He was always attentive to their needs.
Though he had retired, Uncle ran errands and kept up with an exercise routine well into his 70’s. The do-it-yourselfer in his character would spur him to engage in various projects in and around the house. You see, Uncle believed in not only keeping his mind engaged, but also committing his hands in service. You know, for example, there was not a watch or a clock that was beyond repair for him. As a matter of fact, if the part were never available, he would manufacture it himself . Additionally, he could not resist the temptation of fixing an electric iron that stopped working although it was cheaper to purchase a new one. He had quite a remarkable amount of energy that amazed those around him. No one had imagined that Uncle would have gotten sick.
In late 2015, Uncle was diagnosed with end stage multiple myeloma. This began a lifelong struggle with the application of multiple therapies, traditional and alternative treatments, a wholesome diet, continuous intercessory prayers, and the emergence of advocacy from his loving and supportive family and friends. It is worth noting that the initial prognosis gave him just six months to live. However, his spiritual tenacity did not allow him to accept that reality. Rather, it engendered in him a fighting faith. He would go on to outlive the premature death sentence on his life. As he navigated the reality of this disease, Uncle did not stop his passionate work for the Lord. He found ways to continue ministering to others amidst his infirmities. He would share words of inspiration, well-needed advise, hope and encouragement even as he was confronting death. His spirit remained unbroken as his body bore the marks of the battle through the journey.
After many bouts with the disease, multiple hospital admissions, rehab centers, physical and occupational therapies, holistic care with alternative treatments, and much prayer, Uncle’s physical health bounced back and forth and stabilized multiple times. With the onset of COVID-19, nursing homes integrated a no-visitation rule, restricting access to loved ones to prevent the spread of the virus into facilities where vulnerable adults resided. But Uncle’s health soon declined (again). Though his spirit remained strong, his body grew weak.
Family members were alerted and between May and June 2020, Uncle had two emergency admissions, received aggressive treatments, then was stabilized. But exhaustive treatments had come to an end. Recommendations from hospital clinicians concluded that Uncle be discharged into palliative care. As limitations from the pandemic continued, the family decided that Uncle would come home instead of transported back to the nursing facility. At home, there was an intimate atmosphere of love and meaningful support. He was daily nourished and attentively cared for by his wife, Lilieth, and family. Of course, this called for great sacrifice and adjustments on their part. Clinical attention was coordinated with a local hospice service and all took turns to administer moment-by-moment care. Uncle was happy to be home and near to his family. He felt their love but soon he began to feel and see just one set of footprints in the sand—He knew that God was lifting and carrying him for the next six weeks.
As the final moments rolled down, Uncle endured much pain and pondered openly, “Am I going to die like this?” Amidst this discomfort, he was able to impart returned sentiments of love to his children. Soon after he deliberated again and asked God to “release him.” He thanked his beautiful wife, Lilieth, for taking good care of him. Like a sweet cherry on the top of an ice-cream cone, Uncle lavished her with his last breath the sentiments of his heart, “You’re my sweet 16.” Then, he closed his eyes. On hearing and seeing these signs, Lilieth called her son-in-law, Noel, asked for prayer while Caelia’s voice echoed the sweetest melodies, surrounded by love and support from family and friends who gathered to bask in the blessings afforded them by his presence.
So, on Saturday (Sabbath), August 1, 2020 at 3:10 p.m., Alvin took his last breath and went to his rest. He is now free . . . from pain and suffering. We now temporarily lay a brother, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, colleague, confidante, and Heaven’s manservant and friend to rest in the HOPE and certainty of the resurrection promise of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Alvin is survived by his wife, Lilieth; six children—three sons: Richard, Michael, Andrew; three daughters: Marvelette, Christine, Caelia; sons- and daughter-in-law, Dennis, Noel, Kimone; eight grandchildren: Zia, Nassor, Dontae, Dominique, Alexander, Dominick, Abriel, Azalea; one sister, Ione and beloved children, Karen (Kay), Collie, Dwight (Barry) and wife, Marie; sisters-in-law: Pearl, Verna, Christine, Velene, Tania, Lena, Sharon, Luna, Hazel; brothers-in-law: Hylton, Andrew, Howard, Sylvester, George, Bernard; many more in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended relatives, church family, and a whole host of friends in Kansas, New York, Florida, Canada, Jamaica, and other parts of the world.

Waze to make commuting easier
Local drivers are benefiting from an Israeli-developed user-generated map providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on live conditions of the road.

When Software engineer Ehud Shabtai received a hand held device with a GPS for his birthday in 2005, he thought it was just that. He did not expect his present to turn into the basis of his career move. Then he began developing Waze.
Thousands of drivers in the country are having an easier commute thanks to Waze, an Israeli-developed social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road, according to the developers’ website.
Shabtai teamed up with fellow Israelis Amir Shinar, now vice-president of research and development, and Uri Levine, president, to found Waze and launch the beta version of the program in Israel in 2008. Noam Bardin is the current chief executive officer.
The first Waze users, known as “Wazers,” were driving on a blank page. As they drove, GPS signals were sent to the Waze database, creating roads, and these users put the street names into the system.
Waze in Israel is a completely user-generated map, the self-proclaimed world’s largest social network of drivers.
The completed map took about three years to build and now covers 35,126 kilometers in Israel. The application is currently available for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Nokia and Windows Mobile.
The company approaches the turn-by-turn direction program from a unique angle: It concentrates on the commuter, aiming, it says, to break the traditional behavior where you use a navigation system to get to places you don’t know.
“The idea is that you will drive to places you already know and go to on a daily basis, but you will get added value,” said Fej Shmuelevitz, VP community and operations, including real-time updates of traffic jams, accidents, police traps and weather. If there is a clear problem on your way, Waze offers several alternative routes to guarantee the fastest commute.
Waze is “all about community strength in numbers. There is only one way you can beat traffic,” said Michal Habdank- Kolaczkowski, director of communications. “It is not knowing about what is in the news, but knowing about what is [happening] in the city now.”
Going beyond reporting road news, Waze in Israel has teamed up with Channel 2 news, allowing users to report news directly to the source.
Wazers can volunteer to participate in this additional feature.
In order to spread the word about what is going on the road, Waze has connected with Facebook, Twitter, Road Warrior and Four Square. Waze is able to pull in tweets and check-ins that are geolocated.
“The privacy settings allow you to be as anonymous or as public as you want to be,” explained Habdank- Kolaczkowski.
“Even when you cannot take another route, you know if there is going to be heavy traffic. If you are stressed, Waze helps you plan your trip with more information,” said Wazer Yair Gross.
Everything on Waze is user-generated, and 100% of drivers contribute information, passively or actively.
“We call this the Wikipedia of drivers, everyone can contribute,” explained Shmuelevitz. An active user pulls over to the side of the road to report what is going on. A passive user contributes information just by driving around emitting GPS signals.
Since 2009, Waze has expanded to 4.5 million users in over 45 countries; 27.7% are active users.
Although Waze has expanded to other countries, it does not manage the maps outside Israel and English-speaking countries.
“We cannot work on these maps because we do not understand them. We created a guide to create roads, and have given people privileges to be area managers,” explained Shmuelevitz. “People are actually promoting and using Waze because they understand the vision. They are asking for features and helping us translate.
We know the road types in Israel and the United States, but not in Prague.” | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13136 | {"url": "https://www.jpost.com/metro/features/waze-to-make-commuting-easier",

Laurisilva of Madeira, The ...
Laurisilva of Madeira, The Mustn't Miss Destination In Portugal
Laurisilva of Madeira comprises of 15,000 hectares and is located in the larger 27,000 hectares Madeira Nature Reserve. The site is made up of primary laurel forest, a vegetation species that is only found in the Azores, Canary Islands and Madeira. The Laurel forest found here is the largest surviving forest of its kind in the world. Around 90% of the forest is primary forest.
A lot of fossil evidence has been discovered in the area. Research from fossils shows that ‘laurislava’ flora covered much of the southern Europe during the Tertiary Era (15 to 40 million years ago). The available vegetation in Madeira today is the largest surviving relict of a species that is virtually extinct. Climatic changes led to its extinction in the continental Europe. The relatively ocean moderated climate in the island group made of Azores, Canary Islands and Madeira has been able to maintain the previously wide spread forest.
The importance of Laurel forest in the island of Madeira is something that cannot be gainsaid. The forest has helped maintain the eco-balance of the island. It has provided the ecological services to the island by protecting the water supplies, collecting and retaining water and protecting the micro-flora that is essential to the whole park. The forest cover is to be found on the V-shaped valleys that lead to plateau and east-west Ridge Island to the north coast. There are ancient trees at the park’s waterfalls, valley bottoms, and cliffs. This ensemble provides spectacular scenery. On higher altitudes, there are the arborescent plants that have small thistles that help it cling to the steep cliffs.
The Laurel forest in Madeira is especially notable due to the presence of at least 66 species of vascular plants that are endemic to Madeira. The vascular plants are a very rare occurrence in the continental Europe.
On the European scale, the 13 species of liverwort and 20 species of moss have been listed as endangered. Among the animals that are endemic to the site include Madeiran long-toed pigeon that survives on laurel fruit. Others include the lizard species, 2 species of bat, and subspecies of fire-crest and chaffinch.
The site was inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1999. It is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Portugal. It offers nature adventure that is unrivaled.

Warwick Man Admits to Conspire to Fraudulently Obtain COVID-19 Stimulus Loans
PROVIDENCE – A Warwick man today admitted to a federal court judge that he participated in a conspiracy with a Massachusetts man to submit fraudulent bank loan applications to a Rhode Island bank in an effort to obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars in forgivable loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed by Congress to assist businesses impacted by the pandemic.
David Andrew Butziger, 52, admitted that he conspired with David Adler Staveley, a/k/a Kurt David Sanborn, a/k/a David Sanborn, 53, of Andover, MA, to seek forgivable loans guaranteed by the SBA, claiming to have dozens of employees earning wages at four different business, three restaurants and an electronics business, when, in fact, there were no employees working for any of the businesses.
Butziger admitted that he submitted a loan application to BankNewport under the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), part of the CARES Act passed by Congress on March 29,2000, on behalf of an unincorporated entity that he called Dock Wireless. The loan application was in the amount of $105,381.50 and fraudulently represented that Dock Wireless had 7 employees and an average monthly payroll of $42,152.60. According to the government, in truth and in fact, Dock Wireless had no employees and no wages were ever paid by Dock Wireless.
Butziger admitted that he conspired with Staveley who himself allegedly submitted three fraudulent bank loan applications for SBA loans under the PPP totaling $438,577. It is alleged that Staveley claimed the loans were to be used to pay employees at three restaurants he claimed to own and to be operating, including Top of the Bay and Remington House in Warwick and On The Trax in Berlin, MA.
An investigation determined that Remington House and On The Trax were not open for business prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and at the time the loan applications were submitted, and that Staveley did not own or have any role in Top of the Bay restaurant.
Appearing today before U.S. District Court Judge Mary S. McElroy, Butziger pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud, announced United States Attorney Aaron L. Weisman, Special Agent in Charge Joseph R. Bonavolonta of the FBI’s Boston Field Office, and Acting Special Agent in Charge of Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Joleen Simpson.
Butziger is scheduled to be sentenced on December 18, 2020.
A federal grand jury returned an indictment on September 2, 2020, charging Staveley with three counts of bank fraud and one count each of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, false statements to influence the SBA, aggravated identity theft, and failure to appear in court as required.
After having been having been charged by way of a federal criminal complaint in May 2020 for his alleged role in the conspiracy to gain four fraudulent SBA PPP loans, and while on pre-trial release, Staveley allegedly faked his own death and failed to appear in court, as ordered by the court. It is alleged that from May 26, 2020, to July 23, 2020, in an effort to avoid apprehension, Staveley traveled to various States using false identities and stolen license plates. He was apprehended by the United States Marshals Service in Alpharetta, Georgia on July 23, 2020.
Staveley is now detained in federal custody while awaiting trial.
A federal indictment and a criminal complaint are merely accusations. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee H. Vilker.
The Justice Department acknowledges and thanks the SBA Office of Inspector General and the FDIC, Office of Inspector General for their efforts investigating this mater.

According to a new discovery, scientists have realized that there are life molecules (key component of DNA). Such molecules spread and scatter between the stars (interstellar). Astronomers have found these molecules after picking up radio waves from the center of our galaxy. After studying these waves, astronomers became certain that the seeds of life are amazingly scattered in the universe. All glory to Allah! This scientific fact confirms that there's life in the heaven between the planets and stars. Allah, the almighty talks about this fact in the holy Qur’an; Allah says:
“And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills.” Shura or Consultation: 42: 29
The question for all those who still have doubts about the holy Qur'an is how did Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, know that there's life scattering in the universe? | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13142 | {"url": "https://www.kaheel7.com/eng/index.php/picture-a-verse/800-the-seeds-of-life", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.kaheel7.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:00:40Z", "digest": "sha1:KRMTR2343TLAAV2XK4LUMID4UQFQKXHR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1063, 1063.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1063, 2257.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1063, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1063, 58.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1063, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1063, 318.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1063, 0.43062201]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1063, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1063, 0.17229336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1063, 0.17229336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1063, 0.17229336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1063, 0.17229336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1063, 0.17229336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1063, 0.17229336]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1063, 0.02328289]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1063, 0.02328289]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1063, 0.03259604]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1063, 0.00956938]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1063, 0.2]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1063, 0.14832536]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1063, 0.56497175]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1063, 4.85310734]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1063, 0.00478469]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1063, 4.32830348]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1063, 177.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 110, 0.0], [110, 692, 0.0], [692, 907, 0.0], [907, 1063, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 110, 0.0], [110, 692, 0.0], [692, 907, 0.0], [907, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 18, 4.0], [18, 110, 15.0], [110, 692, 92.0], [692, 907, 39.0], [907, 1063, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 110, 0.0], [110, 692, 0.0], [692, 907, 0.01913876], [907, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 110, 0.0], [110, 692, 0.0], [692, 907, 0.0], [907, 1063, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.16666667], [18, 110, 0.01086957], [110, 692, 0.02233677], [692, 907, 0.0372093], [907, 1063, 0.05128205]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1063, 0.40858239]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1063, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1063, 0.1783486]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1063, -4.79173858]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1063, 25.33555231]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1063, 0.33833462]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1063, 8.0]]} |
The shock you feel when what you see a woman in the mirror who is older than how you feel on the inside!
"Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength."
~Betty Friedan, Woman's Advocate
The other day I was talking to a friend of mind about aging. I mentioned how there are days when I am shocked by the person looking back at me in the mirror. On the inside, I still feel like I did when I was a kid, and when I look in the mirror and see this old woman with wrinkles looking back at me, I think, WTF?!?
My friend, who is also in her 60s, agreed that looking in the mirror can be shocking. We had a long chat about the discrepancy between how we feel on the inside and how we look. I was disgusted with myself because the best I could come up with at the time was the platitude, "beats the alternative."
Yes, getting older does beat the alternative, but there had to be a better way to deal with getting older. The disgust I felt stayed with me for a while, so it got me thinking. As I was mulling things over, I started to regard my mindset about getting older. Generally, I don't think about my age unless I get startled by a mirror. I am a very youthful 60, almost 61. Most people who know me are shocked to find out my age. They think I'm a good ten years younger.
A year ago, one month shy of my 60th birthday, I took on a young off-the-track-thoroughbred rescue. I spend a good portion of my time taking care of him; I am starting a coaching business; I work full-time; I write a blog. I keep myself physically and mentally active. I'm not telling you this to brag, but this rant has a point. I love doing all of these things. They keep me feeling young, and I focus on the positive that I bring into the world. That helps me to feel youthful.
As I thought about what keeps me feeling young, I wondered what the research said about having a positive mindset about aging. I know that maintaining a positive attitude is crucial to resiliency; could it also play a part in healthy aging? It does!
A 2019 study by Lewina Lee et al found that individuals who had an optimistic attitude had a higher chance of living longer. The study stated that optimism is specifically related to an 11-15% longer life span, on average, and to greater odds of living to 85+.
This study suggests that living life with the expectation that good things are going to happen can extend your life span significantly. Think about that for a moment; expecting good things to happen not only makes your life feel better in the moment, it also increases your feeling of positivity, and it can extend your life! That's a twofer I can get behind!
In 2002, a study was conducted at Yale University; the study found that older individuals who held positive views about aging lived 7.5 years longer than their more negatively inclined counterparts.
I don't know about you, but the older I get, the more fascinating things I find that I want to do. If staying positive will help give me more time to do all the incredible things life offers, sign me up for the positive thought express!
Positive Aspects of Aging
There are many positive aspects to aging. I think the biggest perk is acquired wisdom and life experience. Unless you sleep-walked your way through life, you have gained some knowledge by the time you hit your 50s and 60s. I don't know about you, but I spent my twenties and early thirties walking around in a constant state of WTF! I didn't have the life experience to draw from, so I felt like I was winging it most of the time.
I regularly step outside of my comfort zone, so there is still a hint of that sense of winging it, but I can make educated guesses with my acquired life experience. I have also learned to trust my intuition, a skill I shut down in my twenties. Honestly, I may gripe about the wrinkles and the turkey waddle that appeared on my neck, but I wouldn't trade my twenty-year-old skin for my 60-year-old knowledge for any price!
After spending a lifetime working, seniors often enjoy their retirement engaged in activities that bring them a sense of enjoyment, purpose, and fulfillment. This perk is something that I am eagerly awaiting; I can't wait to build my horse sanctuary!
Another perk? I'm looking forward to this one, the senior citizen discount! Just because one has the privilege of living to age 65, many stores and businesses offer a discount on all kinds of things, food, and movie tickets, and I honestly can't wait for that one!
How to Increase Your Positivity
There are several ways to increase your positivity levels. My favorite and the one I recommend to all of my clients is to start a gratitude practice. This practice can take many forms; it could be a gratitude journal, a gratitude walk, and mine is a gratitude drive. Whenever I get in my car, I start to list all I am grateful for. More often than not, I begin with gratitude for my car.
Make your gratitude practice your own; make it something you enjoy so that you will keep doing it. When I started my practice, I did a journal. Gratitude journals were all the rage, so I felt it was what I should do. The physical act of writing is very trying for me, and I almost gave up on doing it. I moved next to doing my practice during my morning walk with my dog; it then transformed into a gratitude drive, which works for me. If you don't do your practice, you can't get the benefits, which can include an improved mood, a positive mindset, and better sleep.
You can also increase your positivity by building connections and deepening bonds with the people in your life. When you have a deep sense of connection with people, you have a feeling of belonging, and you may have lower levels of anxiety and depression. Studies show that people who feel connected have higher self-esteem, greater empathy for others, and are more trusting and cooperative.
You can increase your sense of connection by making eye contact with the people you are speaking to, focusing on the conversation, and not being distracted by your phone or other things in the environment. A good way of building connections is by engaging in purposeful activities, which also happens to be an excellent way to increase your positivity.
Engaging in purposeful activities allows you to engage in your life in such a way that aligns with your values. Living your values is a crucial element in building resiliency. There is also the added benefit of increased heart health and living longer. Engage in activities that are meaningful to you, and you will find an unlimited supply of fulfillment.
Another way to increase your positivity is to be open to and engage in new learning. Keeping your mind active and curious will keep you engaged. This engagement is also interconnected with building connections, in that by engaging in further education; you could meet new people and build those bonds.
The field of positive psychology has resulted in abundant research about positive emotions. This research shows that having a positive mindset is beneficial not only for your mood at the moment but also for your health in the long run. Take an honest look at your habitual thinking. Do you run positive or negative? If you are a positive person, review the practices you engage in that help you to stay positive and add more to your repertoire. If you tend to be negative, look at the list of suggestions I gave and decide which one you could start to implement. Take baby steps to build your positive mindset. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, but you can make significant changes one step at a time.
Remember that if you look for the negative, you will find it. If you look for the positive, you will find it. Choose wisely; your happiness is up to you.

A movement gains force to 'put South Africans first,' and to drive migrants out
By Eyder Peralta

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — As they march through the streets of the Hillbrow neighborhood, the protesters wave at the windows of buildings high above them, but it's not a welcome greeting. They're waving a goodbye to the foreign residents who live there.
For decades, South Africa has grappled with a tense immigration debate, marked by hate, misinformation and bouts of violence. Now one group — Operation Dudula — is bringing the issue back to the fore and blaming immigrants for a range of problems.
One of the marchers, Mary Lowe, has a South African flag draped around her. She says her nephew was killed by an undocumented immigrant and has come to combat crime.
"We are basically fighting against all the crime committed by foreigners who are illegally in the country," she says. "We've got our own criminals here. Our hands are already full."
That's despite the fact that research shows immigrants don't commit crime at higher rates than South African-born citizens, in a country with alarming levels of violent crime.

More than a hundred protesters marched through the central business district of Cape Town, marking the launch of the Western Cape branch of Operation Dudula, on May 14. Operation Dudula is a campaign against undocumented foreign nationals that was founded last year.
They demand "South Africans first"
The marchers are members and supporters of Operation Dudula — which means operation "force out" in Zulu. One of their slogans is: "Put South Africans first."
Operation Dudula is an anti-foreigner, anti-illegal immigration group, which started in and around Soweto, a township outside Johannesburg, almost a year ago. Without clear political affiliations, the group has attracted a lot of support, and spawned organizations in other parts of the country, like Cape Town and Durban. Their aim is to force out immigrants who they claim, without evidence, are taking jobs, driving up crime and putting a strain on public services.
The protesters stop outside a supermarket and shout, "Viva Operation Dudula, viva!"
Zandile Dabula, one of their leaders, forces the store manager to come out to the street and commences to berate him.
"This supermarket is hiring too many foreigners," Dabula declares. "Foreign nationals have taken over, and we are tired as South Africans."
With that warning, she lets the manager go back inside. And the crowd continues on down the street.
As they march along, their anti-immigrant chants ricochet off the apartment buildings.

A South African man argues with a man he suspects of being an undocumented migrant during a demonstration in Johannesburg's business district, on March 26. In recent weeks, scores of protesters in South Africa have participated in demonstrations against migrants in what they have dubbed Operation Dudula, Zulu for "force out."
Immigrants are taunted to get out
A group of immigrants watches the protest from behind a fence. They say the problem in South Africa is with corrupt politicians — not them. They're too afraid to use their names for this story.
"We are not eating anything. We came here to look for jobs, not to steal," says one of the immigrants.
Another man, from Zimbabwe, says he has built a life here. He had a child with a South African woman. Getting a residency permit would require money that he doesn't have.
As he tells his story, two Operation Dudula members shout at the group from across the street. "Go back home, baba, go back home!"
Asked what it feels like to hear this, one man shrugs, acknowledging it hurts. "But what can we do? What can we do?" he says.

High school students and activists from various human rights organizations picket in front of the South African Human Rights Commission during Africa Day to protest against recent waves of xenophobia and vigilantism in the country linked to the rise of the anti-migrant Operation Dudula movement, in Johannesburg, on May 25.
Rights activists call out xenophobia
Gabriel Shumba, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer and activist in Johannesburg, says the protesters' behavior is xenophobia — fear and hatred of foreigners. He says leaders have long used this for political mobilization.
Through the years, politicians have blamed immigrants for crime, unemployment and AIDS. "It's just misinformation, which is supposed to be touted to the gullible," says Shumba, who runs a nonprofit association called Zimbabwe Exiles Forum.
"It is a chronic problem of xenophobia in South Africa, and Afro-phobia in particular," he says. "So it's a life of fear and terrible anxiety for non-nationals in this country and what it is testament to is a deep seated problem within the South African society."
In the late 1800s, many in the country scapegoated Asians and the government put restrictions on immigration from Asia.
That was followed by racial segregation and apartheid, in which the white people in power discriminated heavily against nonwhite South Africans.
And now, every few years, some South Africans turn their ire on immigrants from other African countries. And movements like Operation Dudula often lead to violence.

Police officers attend the scene as South African members of Operation Dudula clash with immigrants in the Alexandra township of Johannesburg, South Africa, on March 30.
Some members are well-off, others have economic grievances
A few days after the protest in March, Zandile Dabula is sitting in the Soweto living room of another supporter. It seems a world away from her life. She lives in downtown Johannesburg; she's well-off. But in Soweto, roads aren't paved. Some houses are made of aluminum siding.
She says the movement started after a conversation with friends. They perceived immigrants who worked at local businesses they frequented to be impolite. "We went to a restaurant, you complained about food and they did not care. So that's why we noticed that we were actually being disrespected," she says.
The fellow operation member she's visiting, Ndaba, only wants to use his first name because he fears for his safety.
A man in his 50s, Ndaba was at the protest in Hillbrow, in downtown Johannesburg, and says that same night someone came after him. Someone threw a brick at his head and then slashed him with a machete. He was unconscious for 45 minutes and woke up in a pool of blood.
He sits in his Soweto shack with his friends, his head still bloodied and bandaged.
He points at his home — small, cramped, not a window in sight. "Look at my house," he says. "For how long am I staying in a house like this?"
He says he tried to get ahead. He applied for a job at a local hospital, but he didn't get it. "They are hiring old women from Zimbabwe so they don't pay the money that they're supposed to pay South Africans," he says.
Ndaba makes a living collecting recycling in Johannesburg. He had dreams that his children could break them out of poverty. Both of his sons finished technical school but they can't find any work. Another member of the group suggests this is because of illegal immigration. They nod in agreement.
"Where's my son?" Ndaba says. "He spent about four years in school and he does not work. What must I do? I must fight until I die."
At this point, they break into song in Zulu. The song is about how the world has yet to see the power of Dudula, one of Ndaba's friends explains.

The Finkbeiner test for gender bias in science writing
posted by Jason Kottke Apr 27, 2018
In a 2013 piece, Christie Aschwanden suggested a test in the spirit of the Bechdel test for avoiding gender bias in profiles written about scientists who are women.
To pass the Finkbeiner test, the story cannot mention:
- The fact that she’s a woman
- Her husband’s job
- Her child care arrangements
- How she nurtures her underlings
- How she was taken aback by the competitiveness in her field
- How she’s such a role model for other women
- How she’s the “first woman to…”
Aschwanden named the test after her colleague Ann Finkbeiner, who wrote that she was going to write a piece about an astronomer without mentioning that she, the astronomer, was a woman.
Meanwhile I’m sick of writing about [gender bias in science]; I’m bored silly with it. So I’m going to cut to the chase, close my eyes, and pretend the problem is solved; we’ve made a great cultural leap forward and the whole issue is over with.
And I’m going to write the profile of an impressive astronomer and not once mention that she’s a woman. I’m not going to mention her husband’s job or her child care arrangements or how she nurtures her students or how she was taken aback by the competitiveness in her field. I’m not going to interview her women students and elicit raves about her as a role model. I’m going to be blindly, aggressively, egregiously ignorant of her gender.
I’m going to pretend she’s just an astronomer.

KVANT / AKTUALITY / The Researcher´s night in Stará Tržnica with KVANT
The Researcher´s night in Stará Tržnica with KVANT
The Researcher´s night in Stará Tržnica was held this year on the 28th of September 2018. The motto of this year´s festival was „Researchers in us“. Once again, we have tested what it is like to be a scientist and have shown that everyone can contribute with their knowledge to progress.
The aim of the festival is to convince the public that science is not boring in any case, cumbersome, or too complicated area and work. On the contrary, while requiring a lot of patience, determination and discipline, it also offers adventures and unexpected experiences that encourage one to continue working, inspire new discoveries and constantly stimulate the human mind.
As every year , KVANT spol. s. r. o. participated on The Researcher´s night again. We think our booth fulfilled what it had – it showed new technologies, entertained children and adults, explained some basic physical principles in a simple and engaging way. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13151 | {"url": "https://www.kvant.sk/en/the-researchers-night-in-stara-trznica-with-kvant/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.kvant.sk", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:17:43Z", "digest": "sha1:3DSDSYBDTT7PSWCM3WJ6UP56EPVOKZY6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1043, 1043.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1043, 3806.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1043, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1043, 76.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1043, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1043, 266.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1043, 0.41176471]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1043, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1043, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1043, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1043, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1043, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1043, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1043, 0.14754098]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1043, 0.07025761]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1043, 0.09367681]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1043, 0.07728337]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1043, 0.0245098]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1043, 0.15196078]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1043, 0.63529412]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1043, 5.02352941]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1043, 4.4324611]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1043, 170.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 122, 0.0], [122, 410, 1.0], [410, 786, 1.0], [786, 1043, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 122, 0.0], [122, 410, 0.0], [410, 786, 0.0], [786, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 71, 10.0], [71, 122, 8.0], [122, 410, 51.0], [410, 786, 59.0], [786, 1043, 42.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 122, 0.0], [122, 410, 0.02105263], [410, 786, 0.0], [786, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 122, 0.0], [122, 410, 0.0], [410, 786, 0.0], [786, 1043, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 71, 0.32394366], [71, 122, 0.17647059], [122, 410, 0.02777778], [410, 786, 0.00531915], [786, 1043, 0.03501946]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1043, 0.41237599]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1043, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1043, 0.00340921]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1043, -21.91392798]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1043, 17.18528449]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1043, -14.81197982]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1043, 11.0]]} |

Kevin De Bruyne extends contract with Manchester City
Online News EditorApril 7, 2021
London, Apr 7 (efe-epa).- Belgian playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has penned a contract extension that will keep him at Manchester City until at least 2025.
The announcement on Wednesday came after the English team beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the first-leg of the Uefa Champions League quarter finals.
“I could not be happier,” De Bruyne told Manchester City’s in-house media.
“Since joining City in 2015, I have felt at home. I love the fans, my family are settled here in Manchester and my own game has developed really well.”
He added: “This football club is geared for success. It offers me everything I need to maximise my performance, so signing this contract was a straightforward decision. I am playing the best football of my career and I honestly feel there is more to come.
“My focus now is on ensuring we have a successful end to the current campaign. Our results and performances so far have been excellent, but we need to make sure we end the season with the silverware we deserve.”
The midfielder — widely regarded as one of the best in the world — joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015. He has scored eight goals and provided 16 assists so far this season.
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, currently top of the Premier League, could land a host of trophies this year. The team has a spot in the League Cup final later this month and remain in contention for the FA Cup and the Champions League. EFE-EPA

Sally gains hurricane strength off northern US Gulf Coast
Online News EditorSeptember 14, 2020
Miami, Sep 14 (efe-epa).- Sally strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane on Monday in the northern Gulf of Mexico and is forecast to grow even more powerful before making landfall on the northern United States Gulf Coast.
In its latest bulletin, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said the hurricane currently is packing maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers (90 miles) per hour.
At 1 pm (1800 GMT) Louisiana time, Sally’s eye was located about 200 km east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River and 260 km southeast of Biloxi, Mississippi.
It currently is “meandering over the north-central Gulf of Mexico” but should resume a movement toward the west-northwest at a speed of 11 km/h later on Monday, the NHC said.
The hurricane is forecast to slow down and turn toward the northwest on Monday night and then turn toward the north sometime on Tuesday.
Because of Sally’s slow movement, rainfall amounts are a major concern along the US Gulf Coast. The system is forecast to produce between 20 cm (eight inches) and 40 cm of rainfall, with isolated amounts of 60 cm, over a coastal area that stretches from the western Florida Panhandle to far southeast Louisiana, the NHC said.
It added that flash flooding is likely and that the rainfall will “likely lead to widespread minor to isolated major flooding on area rivers.”
Elsewhere, Paulette is now moving away from Bermuda after battering that British overseas territory in the North Atlantic as a Category 1 hurricane.
Paulette currently has maximum sustained winds of 170 km/h and continues to strengthen, but it is forecast to make a sharp turn to the east and not pose any threat to the US East Coast.
Three other storms also are currently swirling in the Atlantic basin.
Rene, a tropical depression, is far from land in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, while recently formed Tropical Storm Teddy is still far from the Lesser Antilles.
The NHC is forecasting that Teddy, which is currently located 2,015 km east of the Lesser Antilles and moving to the west at 22 km/h with maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h, will strengthen and become a powerful hurricane in a couple of days.
However, it is not expected to pose a direct threat to land.
Lastly, a tropical depression that formed far from the tropical western Atlantic on Monday became Tropical Storm Vicky, the 20th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season.
But the NHC said it is expected to be short-lived.
According to the NHC’s latest bulletin, that tropical storm was located 565 km west-northwest of the African archipelago of Cape Verde and was packing maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h. EFE-EPA

Availability of mental health care creating barriers for long-term disability claims
Historically, mental-health-related claims have been invisible to insurance companies, says lawyer

BY Aidan Macnab 16 Jun 2021
Despite Bell Let’s Talk and other efforts aimed at eliminating the stigma around mental illness, lawyers representing people with mental-health related long-term disability claims say the availability of mental health care remains a barrier for clients.
Historically, a claim related to a mental health problem has been “invisible” from the perspective of an insurance company, says David Share, president, managing director and co-founder of Share Lawyers. Lack of objective medical evidence has always been the biggest stumbling-block to these types of claims, he says.
“It's hard to understand, when you can't see an x-ray or an MRI, or some sort of objective diagnostic test that explains what the symptoms are, why someone has difficulty functioning in a work environment,” Share says.
Lawyers overcome these disputed claims by “working up the medical file” to get the support and back-up for the legitimacy of the client’s symptoms and their impact on that person’s ability to function, he says.
But producing a diagnosis and other medical evidence can be difficult and takes time.
“A lot of the insurance policies are written in a way that isn't very supportive of non-mainstream issues,” says Steve Rastin, lead lawyer of Rastin Gluckstein Lawyers, and past president of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association.
“A lot of policies, for instance, require you to be under the active treatment of a medical professional to qualify for benefits. And part of the problem is there are not enough mental health professionals in Ontario.”
There are not enough psychiatrists, psychologists or therapists to support those in need and in some areas, there are “acute service shortages, Rastin says.
“Pediatric mental health services are almost impossible outside of the large centres,” he says. “I practice in Barrie… It is practically impossible to get a pediatric psychiatric specialist to work with people.”
There are also unique obstacles to treatment and coverage for members of the LGBTQ+ community, says Rupa Karyampudi, co-founder of MK Disability Lawyers LLP. Some are not comfortable participating in the services for which they have coverage, such as group therapy, she says.
“If they’re the only LGBTQ+ person in the group, you can understand that they may be hesitant to share,” says Karyampudi, who is also a part-time professor, teaching social justice, at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law.
“That might not be the appropriate form of treatment for them. But the problem is insurance companies, they will terminate the client if they're not getting appropriate treatment, right? And they don't really care whether or not this person feels comfortable in a certain setting or not, unfortunately.”
There is also the challenge with finding healthcare providers who are properly trained on LGBTQ+ issues, she says.

“While engaged in prayer a light appeared in the heavens, and descended until it rested upon the trees where he [Joseph Smith, Jr.] was. It appeared like fire. But to his great astonishment, did not burn the trees. An angel then appeared to him and conversed with him upon many things. He told him that none of the sects were right; but that if he was faithful in keeping the commandments he should receive, the true way should be made known to him; that his sins were forgiven, etc. A more elaborate and accurate description of his vision, however, will be found in his own history. “The next day…the angel again appeared to him, and told him to call his father’s house together and communicate to them the visions he had received, which he had not yet told to any one… After we were all gathered, he arose and told us how the angel appeared to him; what he had told him as written above; and that the angel had also given him a short account of the inhabitants who formerly resided upon this continent, a full history of whom he said was engraved on some plates which were hidden, and which the angel promised to show him… All of us, therefore, believed him, and anxiously awaited the result of his visit to the hill Cumorah, in search of the plates containing the record of which the angel told him.”

US rules that Ukrainians who entered thru Mexico can extend stay
The Biden administration said Ukrainians who entered in 2022 through the US-Mexico border can renew their humanitarian status and retain access to government benefits
Some 25,000 Ukrainians escaped Russia's invasion and sought refuge in the US via Mexico in early 2022
To discourage border crossings, President Joe Biden launched the "Uniting for Ukraine" program in April 2022 to allow the entry of Ukrainians with US sponsors via air travel
WASHINGTON D.C.: The Biden administration has announced that Ukrainians who entered in 2022 through the US-Mexico border can renew their humanitarian status and retain access to government benefits, including food stamps and health insurance.
The US Department of Homeland Security said that some 25,000 Ukrainians who escaped Russia's invasion and sought refuge in the US via Mexico in early 2022 can now extend their stays beyond the initial one-year period.
To discourage border crossings, President Joe Biden launched the "Uniting for Ukraine" program in April 2022 to allow the entry of Ukrainians with US sponsors via air travel.
The US said that more than 118,000 Ukrainians entered the US through the program, with two-year grants of "humanitarian parole," which will not expire until 2024 or later. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13159 | {"url": "https://www.leedstimes.com/news/273635018/us-rules-that-ukrainians-who-entered-thru-mexico-can-extend-stay", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.leedstimes.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:57:59Z", "digest": "sha1:RWABEV3YIXU7FKRKZPWVUCNA2GWQN5FX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1315, 1315.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1315, 4577.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1315, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1315, 71.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1315, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1315, 286.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1315, 0.33609959]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1315, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1315, 0.59649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1315, 0.59649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1315, 0.59649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1315, 0.59649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1315, 0.59649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1315, 0.59649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1315, 0.02308403]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1315, 0.05540166]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1315, 0.04432133]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1315, 0.05394191]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1315, 0.15767635]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1315, 0.42718447]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1315, 5.25728155]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1315, 4.20902638]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1315, 206.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 232, 0.0], [232, 334, 0.0], [334, 508, 0.0], [508, 751, 1.0], [751, 969, 1.0], [969, 1144, 1.0], [1144, 1315, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 232, 0.0], [232, 334, 0.0], [334, 508, 0.0], [508, 751, 0.0], [751, 969, 0.0], [969, 1144, 0.0], [1144, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 65, 11.0], [65, 232, 24.0], [232, 334, 17.0], [334, 508, 28.0], [508, 751, 34.0], [751, 969, 36.0], [969, 1144, 28.0], [1144, 1315, 28.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 232, 0.02424242], [232, 334, 0.09090909], [334, 508, 0.02352941], [508, 751, 0.01694915], [751, 969, 0.04225352], [969, 1144, 0.02352941], [1144, 1315, 0.06097561]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 232, 0.0], [232, 334, 0.0], [334, 508, 0.0], [508, 751, 0.0], [751, 969, 0.0], [969, 1144, 0.0], [1144, 1315, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 65, 0.06153846], [65, 232, 0.03592814], [232, 334, 0.05882353], [334, 508, 0.05747126], [508, 751, 0.07407407], [751, 969, 0.05045872], [969, 1144, 0.05714286], [1144, 1315, 0.03508772]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1315, 0.04261106]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1315, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1315, 0.70062536]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1315, -43.45109457]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1315, 28.16048699]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1315, 28.087782]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1315, 6.0]]} |
Henry's Red Tricycle
On Feb. 10, 2011, a day after Henry Friedler’s first birthday, his family found out he was diagnosed with infant leukemia, a rare and aggressive cancer. After discovering Henry's diagnosis, the family was uncertain if Henry would survive the first night and the long journey ahead. Henry's family spent most of the following year in the hospital with him.
During the second year, Henry and his family were fortunate to have chemotherapy done at home rather than at the hospital. However, the process was still very intense, as Henry was treated with high-dose chemotherapy. On Henry's third birthday, his family celebrated because he was in remission. But later that year, Henry got sick again, and his family spent weeks and months trying to figure out what was wrong. Finally, they learned that although the two years of chemotherapy had cured his cancer, it unfortunately ruined his immune system. This forced Henry and his family to spend more time in the hospital. Henry was getting sicker. In September 2013, the family placed Henry on hospice. On Dec. 20, 2013, Henry passed away in his mother's arms at home. Henry was less than two months shy of his fourth birthday.
"We are forever thankful for the care he received at Randall Children's Hospital,” says Marla Friedler, Henry's mother and nursing administration supervisor for Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. “Not only did they care for Henry, but they also provided support for myself, my husband and our older son, Owen."
Marla and her family wanted to find the best way to give back to Randall Children's Hospital, and toys felt like the best option. Henry and Owen would receive toys regularly during hospital stays or after long days at the clinic. These toys, some small, some big, would bring so much joy to them. A Hot Wheels car would zoom on the side rails; Thomas the Tank Engine would ride along the windowsill.
"As a parent these toys allowed our kids to play and feel what it was like to be a kid, while they were dealing with things kids shouldn't have to go through,” says Marla. “We would laugh and play and make the hospital as 'normal' as we could."
Six months after Henry passed away, the family held their first toy drive. With the help of a friend, they created Red Tricycle Brigade. The name referred to Henry’s love of riding his tricycle. When he passed away, a picture of an empty tricycle became the photo associated with him on Facebook.
The Red Tricycle Brigade's mission is to spread kindness and joy. Over the years, the group has carried out random acts of kindness and monthly activities. Still, the one big thing they do every year is hold a toy drive. The toys are donated to Randall Children's Hospital every year on February 9, which is Henry's birthday. The group donated 4,601 toys this year, bringing their nine-year total to more than 26,000 toys. That's a lot of happy kids!
"Henry taught me the importance of living life to the fullest,” says Marla. “Play when you feel good. Laugh often. Cry when you need to. Life is short, so we live it fully. To be able to give back, to spread joy and smiles to kids' faces helps keep Henry's memory alive."
What started with donations from family and friends has now blossomed into a mission that motivates people who never knew Henry to support the group and contribute in some way.
"Each year, our support grows,” says Marla. “As a mom, it means the world to me that people still remember Henry. He had a short life, but it changed my world. Being his mom has been my biggest honor, and our toy drive is one of my greatest accomplishments."
Randall Children’s Hospital is grateful for the endless support Red Tricycle Brigade continues to show the hospital and for the opportunity to have been able to know and care for Henry and his family.

Fort de Chartres, Illinois
Fort De Chartres, Illinois by Kathy Alexander.
Fort de Chartres was the 18th Century center of the French civil and military government of the Illinois Country. The Fort de Chartres State Historic Site near Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, marks the location of the last of three successive French forts named “de Chartres.”
On January 1, 1718, the French government granted a trade monopoly to John Law and his Company of the West. Law planned to consolidate French colonial trading companies in the New World to mine precious metals and control all trade and banking in the Louisiana Colony.
French fur traders.
The company built forts to protect its interests, including Fort de Chartres in 1720. The wooden fort was built by Pierre Dugué de Boisbriand, leading a French contingent from New Orleans. The fort was comprised of a palisade of logs with two bastions at opposite corners and was surrounded by a dry moat. The fort’s purpose was to be the seat of government and control the Indians of the region, particularly the Fox. It was named in honor of Louis, duc de Chartres, the son of the Regent of France.
The fort and the nearby village of Prairie du Rocher flourished briefly. The settlement, however, was never as important as its neighbors, Kaskaskia, where the Jesuits established an academy, and Cahokia, where the Catholic priests maintained an Indian school. Across the Mississippi River from Kaskaskia was a fourth settlement — Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. Originally a fur depot, by 1740, it had developed into a town. Because of its location on the river’s west bank and its ready availability to the trappers and traders, it soon equaled the Illinois villages. Part of its growth was due to the opening of small lead mines in the Missouri Ozarks, which utilized it as a port.
By 1725, flooding from the Mississippi River had left the original fort in bad condition, and a new fort was constructed further from the river but still on the flood plain. This fort was also made of logs and had a bastion at each four corners. It too deteriorated over the years and by 1742 was in bad repair.

In 1747 the French garrison moved to the region’s primary settlement of Kaskaskia, 18 miles to the south. The French then debated where to rebuild the fort, which would be made of stone this time. Construction of the new limestone fort near the two previous sites began in 1753. The stone for construction was quarried in bluffs about two or three miles distant and ferried across a small lake. When it was completed in 1756, the fort’s stone walls were 18-feet high and two feet thick, enclosing an area of four acres. An impressive fortification, it had a bastion at each of the four corners and a massive gatehouse. Inside the complex were two long barracks, a guardhouse, officer’s quarters, a powder magazine, kitchen, and outbuildings, arranged around the parade ground. The fort could accommodate a garrison of 400 men but usually was manned by only half that number.
Following the French and Indian War, the fort fell under British rule in 1763. In October 1765, a small detachment of the Royal Highland Regiment took control of the fort and surrounding area. Soon, all French Canadian settlers were ordered to leave or get a special license to remain. The British abandoned the post in May 1772 when most of the soldiers were ordered back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Afterward, the Mississippi River continued to take its toll on the fort, and soon the south wall and bastion fell into the river.

The remaining walls also deteriorated, and by the 1820s, visitors noted trees growing in them. Locals utilized the stones for other construction purposes, and by 1900 the walls were gone.
The State of Illinois acquired the ruins in 1913, at which time, the only part of the original fort that remained was the stone masonry powder magazine. In 1917, the fort’s powder magazine was restored and is now thought to be the oldest standing building in Illinois. In the 1920s, the foundations of the fort’s buildings and walls were uncovered, and a combination museum and office building were built on the foundation of an original fort building. In the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration rebuilt the gateway and two stone buildings. In 1936, the large stone Guards House was reconstructed. Partial reconstruction of the fort’s walls on the original foundations was completed in 1989.
The site and its associated buildings were placed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a National Historic Landmark on October 15, 1966. In 1974, it was named one of the contributing properties to the new French Colonial Historic District, along with the Creole House, the Pierre Menard House, the former Indian village referred to as the Kolmer Site, and Fort Kaskaskia. In 1976, the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The state historic site hosts several large re-enactments at the fort of colonial-era civil and military life each summer. The museum houses exhibits depicting French life at Fort de Chartres, and the powder magazine is stocked with reproduction barrels and barrel racks. The north wall contains bastions, the gatehouse, musket ports, cannon embrasures, and the restored powder magazine. The large stone Guard House contains a Catholic chapel furnished in the style of the 1750s, along with a priest’s room, a gunner’s room, an officer-of-the-day room, and a guard’s room.
The Fort de Chartres State Historic Site is located four miles west of Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, on Route 155.

The New Nation, 1783-1815
First Continental Congress, September 1774, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
In 1776, the Continental Congress appointed a committee to create a plan for a central government. The committee quickly wrote the Articles of Confederation, which created a loose alliance of the states. While the Articles were drafted quickly, their ratification was delayed until 1781. The primary sticking point concerned disagreements about how to deal with the western lands claimed by several states. The states, without such claims, argued that the national government should own the western lands. The states with land claims were reluctant to give up their claims. The Articles of Confederation were adopted when Virginia finally gave up most of its claims to western lands.
The Articles of Confederation created a union of sovereign states. An assembly of delegates acted on behalf of the states they represented. Because the smaller states feared the domination of the larger ones, each state had one vote in the Confederation Congress, regardless of its size or population. Any act of Congress required the votes of nine of the thirteen states to pass.
Leaders of the Continental Congress John Adams, Gouverneur Morris, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. By Augustus Tholey, 1894
Congress claimed the following powers: to make war and peace; conduct foreign affairs; request men and money from the states; coin and borrow money; regulate Indian affairs, and settle disputes among the states. Enforcing laws, regulating commerce, administering justice, and levying taxes were powers reserved for the states. Representatives were forbidden to serve in Congress for more than three years to avoid the formation of a political elite. Even with these limits on its powers, the Confederation Congress achieved some remarkable successes during its short life.
At the successful conclusion of the Revolutionary War with Great Britain in 1783, Americans could reflect on the revolutionary events that had occurred in the preceding three decades. American colonists had first helped the British win a global struggle with France in that period. Soon, however, troubles surfaced as Britain began to assert tighter control of its North American colonies. Eventually, these troubles led to a struggle in which American colonists severed their colonial ties with Great Britain. Meanwhile, Americans began to experiment with new forms of self-government. This movement occurred in the Continental Congress during the Revolution and at the local and state levels.
After winning their independence, Americans continued to experiment with how to govern themselves under the Articles of Confederation. Over time, some influential groups — and these by no means reflected the sentiments of all Americans — found the Confederation government inadequate. Representatives of these groups came together in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to explore the creation of yet another, newer form of government. The result was a new constitution. Not all Americans embraced this new Constitution, however, and ratification of the document produced many disagreements. Even so, the Constitution was ratified, and with a new constitution in place, Americans once again turned to George Washington for leadership, this time as President of the new republic.
Although Washington proved to be personally popular and respected, conflict over the proper functions and locus of governmental power dominated his two terms as president. These disputes soon led to the formation of factions and then political parties that were deeply divided over the nature and purposes of the federal government, foreign affairs, and the very future of the new nation. Events during the single term of John Adams, our second president, made these divisions even worse, and they continued into the presidency of Thomas Jefferson.
Even so, President Jefferson nearly doubled the size of the new nation by purchasing the Louisiana Territory from France. This purchase also led Jefferson to form the Lewis and Clark expedition to discover what was contained in the new land. Jefferson’s successor as President, James Madison — one of the constitution’s authors — led the new nation through another war with Great Britain. This, of course, was the unpopular War of 1812. This war ended in 1815; if nothing else, it convinced Britain that the United States was on the map to stay. Meanwhile, Americans began to develop a culture and way of life that was truly their own and no longer that of mere colonials.

Student says she was physically assaulted for not reciting Pledge of Allegiance

River Bluff High School
Posted Friday, March 17, 2023 4:22 pm
Per the lawsuit, 15-year-old River Bluff High student Marissa Barnwell exercised her First Amendment right to refrain from acknowledging the pledge of allegiance in a non-disruptive manor on Nov. 29, and Nicole Livingston, an instructional assistant at the school, proceeded to demand Barnwell stop and acknowledge the pledge, physically accosting her before escorting her to Principal Jacob Smith.
According to the complaint, Barnwell, an honor roll student and a standout member of several extracurricular activities, was walking in the hallway when the Pledge of Allegiance began playing over the intercom at about 8:40 a.m.
“While the Pledge of Allegiance was being recited over the intercom, some students stopped in acknowledgment of the Pledge,” the suit states. “However, in accordance with her First Amendment Rights protected by the United States Constitution, [Barnwell] elected to continue walking to her class and refrain from reciting the Pledge.”
The suit specifies that Barnwell continued to walk silently through the remainder of the pledge and the subsequent call for a moment of silence.
“It was at this point that Livingston is accused of “yelling and demanding that [Barnwell] stop walking and physically assaulting her by pushing [Barnwell] on the wall and forcefully touching [Barnwell] in an unwanted way without her consent so that she would stop walking in recognition of the Pledge of Allegiance and Moment of Silence that was announced at the conclusion of the Pledge.”
The suit further alleges that when Barnwell was taken to the principal’s office, she was never assured that she has the right to not recite the pledge or participate in the moment of silence and shouldn’t be penalized for electing not to do so.
The suit also details that Barnwell’s family tried through “numerous measures” to see some sort of accountability for Livingston’s actions.
Tyler Bailey, who is representing the family in suing the district, didn’t respond to the Chronicle’s requests for comment.
Following the lawsuit, which was filed Feb. 13 and announced to the media earlier this month by the family, the district issued a statement March 17, announcing that its lawyers had filed to dismiss the suit on March 15.
"Lexington 1 officials strive to demonstrate our commitment to all families that incidents are taken seriously, investigated fully and addressed appropriately,” the district said in the statement. "We believe we have the necessary district procedures and board policies in place to fulfill this commitment. Unfortunately, there will be times when a family will not be satisfied with the district’s response, and we regret when that happens and attempt to resolve issues in a manner satisfactory to all parties involved."
According to the district, around 8:40 a.m. on Nov. 29, when Smith was made aware of the incident, an assistant principal began to investigate and review video footage. The assistant principal then met with the parents to inform them of the investigation.
The district’s human resources office was subsequently notified and opened its own investigation, the district said. The school resource officer was made aware of the incident and a report was filed that afternoon, which the district noted is standard procedure for an incident involving allegations of misconduct that could lead to criminal charges.
Livingston was placed on administrative leave and remained so until the district concluded investigating.
In the course of the investigation, the district said, it was discovered that another camera. Barnwell's parents and their attorney reviewed all video footage along with law enforcement, who informed the district that no criminal charges would be filed.
To remain in compliance with state law, Lexington 1 policy requires that schools designate a time for the Pledge of Allegiance each school day while honoring a person’s right to not participate. The policy states that the district will not penalize an individual for failing to participate.
“Typically, Lexington 1 does not issue statements about ongoing legal matters,” the district said. “However, district leaders feel compelled to issue this statement to address the response to media coverage and to clarify the details related to the situation.
“Due to the recent media coverage of this incident, the student and employees involved are receiving extremely hateful communication. District leaders strongly condemn this inappropriate behavior. We care for all of our students and employees and regret that those involved in this situation have been the target of cruel messages.”

Top 10 Life Insurance Companies in Australia
Top 10 Life Insurance Companies in Australia 2019 - 2020. Life Insurance Companies in Australia 2019… Do you consider your life to be precious and important?
Top 10 Life Insurance Companies in Australia… Do you consider your life to be precious and important? Just like you protect your houses, cars, and other property, did you know that you can insure your life? Yes, you can…because there are many insurance companies out there just for you to ensure your precious life.
Now, you may be wondering: what is life insurance? But let’s start by defining insurance first.
Insurance is an agreement whereby a company or the state agrees to provide a guarantee of compensation for a specified loss, injury, illness, or death in return for the payment of a specified premium.
Life insurance is the type of insurance that pays a sum of money either upon the death of the insured person or after a fixed period.
You may ask again, why life insurance?? Or what is the need for that???
The main reason life insurance is important is the peace of mind you get. You can sleep easy knowing what life throws at you; You and your loved ones will be financially well off. In short, you pay the insurer for a good night’s sleep.
If you’ve decided you need life insurance but have no idea where to start, I’d love to help. I’ll start by showing you the factors to consider when choosing a life insurer in Australia.
Factors to consider before choosing a life insurer in Australia
The best life insurance company is the one that fits your needs and your budget while giving you the peace of mind that your family will be protected when you die.
There are many factors to consider before selecting a life insurer, such as the features and benefits they provide in their policy and the long-term and short-term affordability of their premiums. Others include:
1. GET A FULL WARRANTY:
By making sure the company you choose gives you peace of mind knowing your family will be able to live the life they’re used to or, if you’re not married, make sure your coverage is sufficient for mortgage repayments and other debts.
Also, consider life insurance that offers a funeral advance benefit, so your loved ones don’t have to worry about paying your final expenses.
2. KNOWING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
The location of the best policy for you and your family should be determined by the terms and conditions of the company’s policy which you can refer to in their Product Disclosure Statements (PDS).
Direct insurer vs. retail insurer and group superfund offerings are very different, which is why it’s so important that you carefully read the product disclosure statement (PDS) for each policy you’re considering.
3. LIKELIHOOD OF CLAIMS BEING PAID:
Life insurance companies in Australia are regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), which helps ensure that the insurer has the funds to meet its claims obligations.
However, according to the ASIC 498 report on life insurance claims, your claim has a 71 higher chance of being denied when purchased directly from the insurer (not recommended) compared to purchasing life insurance through a retail distribution channel (recommended).
4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
When finding the best policy for you and your family, you should consider the terms and conditions of the company’s policy which you can refer to in their Product Disclosure Statements (PDS). The offerings of a direct insurer versus a retail insurer and a group superfund are very different, which is why it is so important that you carefully read the product disclosure statement (PDS) of each policy you are considering.
5. LONG-TERM LIABILITY:
Make sure you’ll be able to pay your policy premiums now and in the future. If you’re looking for short-term affordability, a tiered premium style might be right for you. On the other hand, if you can start with higher premiums, which don’t increase each year because of your age, then a company that offers tiered premiums might be for you.
6. DISCOUNTS AND REWARDS:
You should consider companies that add even more value to their policyholders helping them save on premiums and encouraging them to live healthier lives. Although reward programs shouldn’t be the deciding factor when choosing a company, add a little something extra.

This subgroup contains photographs usually mounted on boards and primarily depicting athletic team shots, class pictures, buildings, and cadet companies from the first few decades of the university. Similar images also exist in other photograph subgroups. The North Carolina College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts was founded as the state's land-grant institution in 1887, and formally opened its doors two years later. In 1917, the school was renamed the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, reflecting its broadened instructional and research activities. In 1965 the institution was renamed North Carolina State University (officially the North Carolina State University at Raleigh).

New Mandatory Gender Pay Gap Disclosures Will Soon Take Effect for Large Employers in Great Britain
By Tahl Tyson and Lavanga V. Wijekoon on
Effective April 6, 2017, new Gender Pay Reporting regulations to address the gender pay gap1 (the “Regulations”) come into force in Great Britain. The Regulations are intended to address the pay gap between men and women by requiring large employers to calculate and publish certain gender pay information annually.
What is a “relevant employer”?
Any private sector employer in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) with at least 250 “employees” on the “snapshot” date of April 5 of each year is a “relevant employer” under the Regulations and must comply.
Who are the “employees” that must be counted towards the 250?
An "employee" for purposes of the Regulations includes not only workers who are on the company payroll as employees, but also those who have a contract with the company to personally perform work, such as some independent contractors.
The Regulations specifically limit their territorial scope to Great Britain. However, in defining a relevant employer, the final Regulations did not specifically exclude for purposes of the definition employees who work for the employing entity wholly or partly outside of Great Britain (in Northern Ireland, for example, and countries outside of the United Kingdom). As a general rule, these employees probably need to be included if they have a strong enough connection to Great Britain that, based on case law, would allow them to bring a claim to an Employment Tribunal under the Equality Act 2010. This will depend on whether the employment relationship suggests a stronger connection to Great Britain and British employment law than to the law of any other country. Some indications that someone should be counted may include:
having a contract subject to Great Britain legislation;
continuing to have their home in Great Britain; and
having United Kingdom tax legislation apply to their employment.
The threshold of 250 employees is determined on basis of the employing legal entity and is not aggregated group-wide.
Covered employers must calculate and publish on their websites and on a government website, six metrics relating to the gender pay gap.2 The metrics must be based on a “snapshot” of pay information taken on April 5 of each year, published within 12 months of that date, and kept there for three years from the date of publication.
The first snapshot date is April 5, 2017, so the first publication date is no later than April 4, 2018.
A relevant employer must publish:
The gap between the mean hourly rate of pay of male full-pay3 relevant employees4 and that of female full-pay relevant employees.
The gap between the median hourly rate of pay of male full-pay relevant employees and that of female full-pay relevant employees.
The gap between the mean bonus pay paid to male relevant employees and that paid to female relevant employees.
The difference between the median bonus pay paid to male relevant employees and that paid to female relevant employees.
The proportions of male and female relevant employees who were paid bonus pay.
The proportions of male and female full-pay relevant employees in the lower, lower middle, upper middle and upper quartile pay bands.
The published information must contain a statement that it is accurate and signed by a senior company representative, such as a chief executive.
Optional Explanatory Narrative
Employers have the option to provide a narrative to give some context for the results of the calculations.
Are there any penalties?
Failure to comply will be considered an “unlawful act” under the Equality Act 2010. Therefore, violations of these reporting requirements will fall within the existing enforcement powers of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which include applying to courts to order compliance. The results or steps taken to address violations could potentially be used by unions or by claimants making equal pay claims.
Practical Pointers
Employers in Great Britain should consider taking the following steps:
Identify the employees to be included in the count of 250 and determine whether the threshold is reached.
Identify which employees will be included in the calculations.
Conduct an initial audit and risk assessment under privilege. Consider how legal privilege will apply to in-house counsel and the team that will be involved with the risk assessment.
Identify any problems (the EHRC considers a significant pay gap to be 5% or more), and consider ways to address them, or to provide context in the explanatory narrative.
Identify a senior executive who will sign the certification of accuracy confirming that the information is accurate.
1 The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017, 2017 No. 172 (Feb. 6, 2017).
2 Although they will need to be considered for purposes of triggering the obligations, those “non-traditional” employees do not need to be included in the calculations if the employer does not have, and it is not reasonably practicable for the employer to obtain, the data for such individuals.
3 A “full-pay relevant employee” means a relevant employee who is not being paid at a reduced rate or is unpaid as a result of the employee being on leave.
4 A “relevant employee” means a person who is employed by the employer on the snapshot date.

Lost Gravity
How to Make a Giant
it’s been a long time…
It’s been a very long time since I blogged. My last post is from December 2013! So much has happened since then! Whenever I have some free time I will write a blog covering 2014 (our busiest year ever, hence no time for blogging…lol) – but right now I’m gonna write about the first semester of 2015.
The year started with a well deserved break! Giuliano was in Brazil on holidays for a couple of months and I was there too for about 5 weeks (but we didn’t have the chance to meet – I’m from Sao Paulo, he’s from Rio Grande do Sul). Back in London we had to sort out our bassist situation (more on this topic when I write about 2014…lol).
In March after a few weeks thinking about what to do I posted an ad online looking for the ideal bassist. It was a very specific ad. We got a few replies and one of them was from an awesome bassist, David Whitmore. When I checked him out I had the feeling that he was the missing piece in Lost Gravity. I was so sure that we didn’t even book an audition with anyone else.
Mr. David Whitmore
When we got in the studio with David, he nailed our whole album and I was very impressed (specially considering that he didn’t want to get any tabs or videos before hand showing him how to play our songs – yes, I have done that in the past for other bassists…lol).
After all these years we have finally found the right bassist! Dave’s got the right attitude, the right tone, stage presence and looks, plus the guy grew up listening to rock and grunge. He knows exactly what to do with our songs. And I believe that Lost Gravity is the perfect band for him too (when I saw his previous band I actually said that he was in the wrong band..lol) And now I can really say that Lost Gravity are stronger than ever! I know I said it before but now things are just in a new level really! (If you have seen us live in 2015 you know what I am talking about.
Below I’ve made a list with the main things that happened in 2015 so far:
– 10th April – we played at The Garage, Islington – That was our first show with David. Really good show with a great crowd!
Live at The Garage – 10/04/2015
– 30th May – we played at Camden Rocks Festival 2015 – fantastic show! You can read a gig review here.
Camden Rocks Festival 2015
– 2nd July – Changes – Official Video Released – this is our first lyric video ever. Click here to watch it.
– 25th July – we played our whole album live at The Barfly (best show to date!) – that was definitely a night to remember!
Live at The Barfly – 25/07/2015
– 2nd August – Friendly Fire – Official Video Released – this is our second video released in 2015 and third video from our debut album. By the way, one of the plans made earlier this year was to release more videos in 2015. So far, so good! We’re doing well sticking to the plan…lol
So that’s it for now, folks. If you’re still reading this blog post, thank you so much for your interest and support. We hope to see you soon at one of our shows!

Nicholas Stern warns that current carbon pricing is too weak to achieve goals of the Paris Agreement
Press release on 12 December, 2017
Professor Lord Nicholas Stern (Credit: LSE)
Current carbon prices around the world are too weak to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, and Europe needs to show leadership by driving up pricing levels, Nicholas Stern will warn in a speech at the One Planet Summit today (12 December) in Paris.
Lord Stern, Chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, will say:
“Europe can and should show leadership in carbon pricing. Current carbon pricing around the world is weak on coverage and is at levels far below those necessary. To deliver the goals of the Paris Agreement prices must reach $40-80 per tonne of carbon dioxide by 2020, and $50-100 by 2030. Europe can drive prices to these levels quickly.”
Lord Stern will add:
“Fossil fuels must be confronted with their real costs, and polluters must pay if markets are to work and emissions are to fall at the rate necessary to deliver the Paris goals. However, a carbon price by itself cannot deliver the required design of cities and networks that will be crucial to reducing emissions on the scale necessary. Carbon pricing must be supported by other policies to drive the low-carbon transition. Regulation must play its role too, for example by driving out coal from our power systems quickly and stopping the sale of new cars powered by fossil fuels over the next couple of decades.”

About M3G Entertainment LLC
Renowned Musician, Conservationist and Respected Author
Chuck Leavell has been pleasing the ears of music fans for more than 40 years. His piano and keyboard work have been heard on the works of Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, George Harrison, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry, Train, John Mayer... and many other prominent artists. His association with the Rolling Stones began back in 1982 and is still going strong and he is credited as the band’s music director. He recently completed the Stone’s “No Filter Tour”. He is a first call session musician, often working in Nashville. Recent recordings there include work with Miranda Lambert, Montgomery-Gentry, Lee Ann Womack, Heidi Newfield, Lady Antebellum and more.
Chuck is also an artist in his own right, with several successful solo albums in circulation…the latest of which is his “Chuck Gets Big with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band” released in 2018. This project was recorded live with an amazing group of top-notch musicians, who make up a 17-piece jazz orchestra. The goal of the project was to make the recording to be as if a person walked into a beautiful room, and had a private concert with Chuck and the band.
Also a respected author, he has penned four books. His book on forestry called Forever Green: The History and Hope of the American Forest, is now in its second printing in the U.S. with translated releases in Germany and Austria. His children’s book, The Tree Farmer, has garnered several awards including special recognitions from the National Arbor Day Foundation and the American Farm Bureau Federation and is in its third printing. His autobiography, Between Rock and a Home Place chronicles his career in music and also explains how he came to be so passionate on environmental issues. The book has recently been translated and released in Japan. Chuck’s most recent book, “Growing A Better America: Smart, Strong and Sustainable”. The theme is "smart growth", and how we can deal with the pressures of America's growth pains that are already causing us concern. He identifies sustainable methods to help us with our growing transportation, energy, and housing needs.
Leavell co-founded The Mother Nature Network (mnn.com) in January of 2009, and the site made a quick rise to become the world’s première website for environmental news, information and education. Chuck is a renowned environmentalist and tree farmer, and he and his wife Rose Lane were given the ultimate honor for their outstanding stewardship of their own forest, Charlane Plantation, by being named National Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year in 1999. Leavell sits on several important environmental boards, including The American Forest Foundation, the U.S. Endowment for Forests and Communities, The Georgia Land Conservation Council and others. Chuck’s passion for forestry and the environment have elevated him to one of the most respected leaders in the field.
Chuck offers two motivational speeches, one is called “PRIDE”, on taking PRIDE in one’s work, and the other is called “Stewardship and Partnerships”. Within each speech, Chuck offers personal stories and life lessons from his vast career. Both messages can be customized for any particular group and can apply to a wide range of themes. Chuck is unique in the industry in that he is willing to both speak and, if desired perform a few songs.

Ankur Jain: Taking a leap of faith with Macquarie
In 2010, Ankur Jain joined the Financial Management Group in Macquarie’s Gurugram office as an Executive. At the time there were just 150 employees in the office. He’s now an Associate Director and the Gurugram team has grown to over 1,600 people, and Ankur has played an integral role in this journey.
After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary, Ankur Jain spent two years as a tax consultant at a multinational professional services firm, before taking what he describes as a “leap of faith” with Macquarie in 2010.
“Macquarie had a relatively small office in India at the time, but its global profile was appealing,” Ankur says. “I could see the potential of what Macquarie could achieve in India.”
Contributing to growth
Ankur is now an Associate Director in the Financial Management Group in Macquarie’s Gurugram office, leading teams that support the finance function of Macquarie Asset Management and its subdivisions.
Originally, Ankur began his career with the organisation as an Executive working in financial control. As his role expanded, he was promoted to Manager, then Assistant Vice President.
From the very beginning of his career with Macquarie, Ankur says he was encouraged to engage with senior stakeholders and given exposure to complex projects like setting up the fund management team for Macquarie’s investment management arm.
“This laid the foundation of my career at Macquarie,” he explains.
“As part of establishing finance projects and setting up teams in India, I had the opportunity to travel both to Sydney and New York.”
Ankur also had the chance to work across global projects, including setting up and training finance functions for Macquarie’s then newly established office in Jacksonville, US.
Ankur and his team provides end-to-end accounting and financial reporting to asset management teams across the globe, as well as a complete legal entity control function for Australia and Asia.
Working across Australian, US, Asian and European time zones, the team deals with issues and questions from senior stakeholders and auditors. Daily reporting work sits alongside large projects like Macquarie’s recent transition to a new general ledger.
Building a network
Collaborating with other teams is a key part of Ankur’s role, and he believes the global networks he has built are as important to his role as his finance skills.
“I’m proud that through my networks I’ve been able to solve complex problems with ease and expand our Gurugram team that is delivering great outputs for Macquarie,” Ankur says.
He believes one of the biggest challenges he’s faced over his decade at Macquarie was the transition to a management role, but it also brought the greatest rewards.
“I spend a lot of time connecting with people and taking a partner approach to leadership, alongside the problem solving and decision making that comes with the job,” Ankur says.
Embracing and enabling change
Having spent seven years at Macquarie, Ankur decided to leave in 2017 to work for a New York-based investment technology company. But within a year he was drawn back to Macquarie by an opportunity to augment the finance function for the asset management division in Gurugram.
“I missed the size of Macquarie and its dynamic environment,” says Ankur. “Macquarie is synonymous with change and, unsurprisingly, a lot had changed in my year away.”
As Vice President, leading the Financial Control team of the asset management business, he quickly grew the team from 16 to 38 employees, and says he enjoys working with a diverse group of people, the challenges in the global role and the freedom and entrepreneurship he experiences at Macquarie.
“It’s the Macquarie gene that keeps me here,” he says. “It’s a culture of ownership where you have the freedom to lead and deliver.”
Due to the pandemic, it has been more than 18 months since his whole team worked in the office. However, Ankur says their resilience combined with Macquarie’s investment in technology means the work has been seamlessly completed.
“I’m itching to get back to the office but excited about the possibilities hybrid working gives our teams to work flexibly and still deliver our best,” Ankur says. “This approach has always been unique to Macquarie, even prior to the pandemic.”
Transforming the future
Ankur says the transformation occurring in Macquarie’s finance function represents a huge opportunity for his team. He is also excited about being part of the bigger picture of Macquarie Asset Management’s journey.
“The focus of Macquarie on green energy and sustainable growth for the entire community is also inspiring.”

macOS Mojave and the future of the Mac
By Dan Moren, Contributor, Macworld SEP 27, 2018 8:00 pm PDT

“The Mac keeps going forever.”
So said Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller in an interview in this very publication on the occasion of the computing platform’s 30th anniversary in 2014. With this week’s release of macOS Mojave, the modern version of the Mac’s operating system hit its fifteenth major release, and celebrated its seventeen-and-a-half birthday—quickly closing in on outliving its predecessor, the classic Mac OS.
Mojave charts some new directions for the Mac, most notable of which is the ability to run iOS apps with little to no modification. That feature has its fair share of shortcomings and has also caused a degree of consternation from some longtime Mac users who don’t want peanut butter in their chocolate.
But it seems unlikely Apple’s going to back away from the idea of bringing more iOS into the Mac—the former is, after all, the more popular of the company’s two platforms, and with more than 1.3 billion active devices overall, it’d be strange for Apple not to figure out a way to bring them together. But what’s equally clear is that Apple is trying to balance incorporating iOS with keeping the Mac the Mac.
The biggest criticism levied against the iOS apps that Apple has brought to the Mac—News, Voice Memos, Home, and Stocks—is that they don’t feel particularly Mac-like. They’re one-window apps with too-big buttons that seem clearly designed for a touch-based interface. In particular, many have seized upon the incongruity and inutility of something like iOS’s date picker when used with a keyboard and pointing device.
Apple News Mac app
Meanwhile, others have wondered if the addition of these iOS apps, with little in the way of interface changes, might presage a touch interface coming to the Mac. I’m far from opposed to such a thing—touch is the default way most people interact with their technology these days; if the Mac is to keep going forever, it can’t remain an unchanging monolith. As others beside me have noted, you only have to work with an iPad and a physical keyboard for a little while to realize how instinctive it becomes to reach up and touch the screen. (And I know I’m not the only one to restrain themselves from such an impulse when jumping between my iPad and my MacBook Air.)
What we’ve seen from Apple with these apps so far is only a proof of concept. Yes, you can move these simple apps over and they’ll run. They aren’t optimized or really even designed for the Mac. None of which is to say they can’t be. Over the next couple years as Apple no doubt refines this system we’ll get a better idea of what additional changes can be made to iOS apps that jump to the Mac and how they can be good citizens on this new platform.
The Mac stays in the picture
At the same time that iOS is encroaching on the Mac’s territory, Apple is making it perfectly clear that Mojave and the progression of the macOS isn’t about taking away features from the Mac. Hence the renewed prominence of Quick Actions (née Services), which not only let you perform tasks without launching an application, but also bring the Mac’s automation powers to the forefront. Likewise, the ability to customize which metadata is displayed in the Finder’s preview pane. Both of these are indications that Apple realizes who most of its Mac users are.
Similarly, some of the under-the-hood changes to Mojave demonstrate that Apple has been giving more thought to how the Mac distinguishes itself from iOS. During this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, Apple announced that some developers—including Bare Bones Software, in whose BBEdit I’m writing this very column—would be coming to the Mac App Store.
Apple announced at WWDC 2018 that Bare Bones is bringing BBEdit back to the Mac App Store.
Bare Bones had previously left the Mac App Store in part because of the more onerous requirements of macOS’s iOS-inspired sandboxing system, which required compromising certain powerful features of the application. The fact that Bare Bones is returning, and that other vendors like Panic, Microsoft, and Adobe are coming along with it, suggests that Apple may have loosened up those restrictions.
More importantly, it points to the fact that Apple realizes what’s important to Mac users: the programs that they run and care about. If the Mac is the truck to iOS devices’ car in Steve Jobs’s old analogy, well, the people buying a truck want a truck. A Mac without these complex, long-standing applications, or in which power features are ignored or pushed to the back in favor of newer and shinier apps that appeal to consumers might indeed keep going forever, as per Schiller’s statement, but it wouldn’t be a Mac so much as a hollow shell of one.

PMP Protein: Requirements Management and Requirements Traceability Matrix
By Poornima Nagaraja, PMP
Mediocre requirement management processes are major causes for project failures. Continuous research studies constantly mention this aspect of management. Unfortunately, it continues till date.
Many organizations believe (and rightly so) that utilizing the right set of project management processes would lead to high probability for project success. Hence, if you are working as a management professional and/or practitioner in any organization, you need to understand Requirement Management Processes and its advantages.
One of the fundamental aspects of requirement management is this:
Do what is required and deliver based on available time, money and resources. Over committing has been known to be one of the biggest reasons for project failures.
What is a Requirement?
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) defines requirements as follows:
A condition or capability to be present in a product, service or result to satisfy an agreement or other formally imposed specification.
Requirements are needs and expectations of project stakeholders. Requirements are usually in the language of customers. Requirement gathering starts from the early phase of pre-project work, where needs assessment happens.
If a Business Analyst (BA) is available for the project, then all requirement related activities will be part of that role. Project Managers should be collaborating with the BA to manage requirements.
Before further going into details of Requirement Management, let’s understand the difference between Scope and Requirements.
Requirements can be vast, because when you consider all possible items as per customer expectations, the coverage becomes large. However, the scope of the project, program sets the boundary conditions. The scope will have:
The elaboration of project scope.
The deliverables to be given to the customer.
What is included in the project.
What is excluded in the project within available time, budget and resources, which is tacitly explained by the “inclusion” part.
While managing scope, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) plays a key role because when the scope of the project is broken down, you get a WBS. A WBS is applicable irrespective of project life cycle being used. In some life cycles, the term WBS may not be used, but effectively you get it when you break down the scope of the project. For example, in Agile, you take the epics and break it down to user stories.
Now, let’s understand requirements management.
Requirements Management is a repetitive set of activities that includes determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and expectations during project lifecycle to meet project objectives. Do read this line again. It’s repetitive as it’s both iterative and integrative in nature.
Requirements management also includes tasks, which will establish a requirements baseline and maintain the traceability of requirements, which we will see shortly. In Adaptive/Agile life cycles, requirements are consistently managed with Backlog Refinement. Dedicated time is allocated for such activities.
Requirements management is very crucial to consistently engage with stakeholders and understand their needs and requirements. This ensures the project manager and the team to prioritize requirements appropriately and implement the deliverables in a right way which leads to Customer Satisfaction.
After all, a project is declared successful only when our customers are satisfied. Meeting the requirements of the customer helps achieve customer satisfaction.
Now, requirements are usually managed with the Requirements Management Plan. This plan is the output of a planning process, i.e., Plan Scope Management. This plan tells how project and product requirements will be analyzed, documented and managed. Some organizations may call it the Business Analysis Plan. If a BA is available, it’s his/her responsibility to maintain the Requirements Management Plan.
Contents of Requirements Management Plan
One can think of the following contents for the Requirements Management Plan:
How requirement activities will be managed.
How configuration management activities for requirements will be done.
How requirements will be prioritized.
What metrics will be used.
What will be the traceability structure/matrix.
In the previous line, I introduced a term called (requirements) traceability matrix. Let’s understand it.
Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
The Requirements Traceability Matrix is one of the outputs of Collect Requirements process – other being the Requirements Documentation. Requirements documentation lists out all the requirements for your project. In your organization, you may have different names for Requirements Documentation, such as Product Requirements Documentation (PRD), Product Requirements Specification (PRS) or any other name.
Coming to the RTM, PMI defines is as follows:
Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a grid that links product requirements from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them.
The RTM creates a clear way to track requirements throughout the project life cycle. It thus ensures the requirements approved in requirements documentation are delivered at the end of the project.
As per PMI, the RTM components can be:
Business needs and objectives
Project scope and WBS deliverables
Test strategy and test Scenarios
High-level requirements to more detailed requirements
A sample of RTM is shown in the below figure. It’s taken from PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) guide, 6th edition.
As shown, the RTM is a grid/matrix like structure. There are attributes such as Unique ID, Requirement Description, WBS deliverables, Test cases among others. One can have other attributes such as Owner, Requirement Priority, Versioning etc.
With this, I believe you got an introductory understanding to:
Requirement Management Plan
Requirements Documentation
Requirements Traceability Matrix

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in Traditional and Agile Life Cycles with MS Project
Work breakdown structure (WBS) is a key element for management planning, monitoring, and control of a project or a program scope. Regardless of the chosen life cycle (predictive, iterative, incremental, adaptive, or hybrid), WBS plays a role in almost every project. A WBS is important to further estimation—cost, duration, or resources, planning for resources, risk identification, schedule development, among others. It’s also used in earned value management (EVM).
In this article, I will cover the fundamentals of WBS with the definition, the key concepts which drive WBS development such as rolling wave planning and progressive elaboration, and best practices for using WBS in predictive (Waterfall) and adaptive (Agile) life cycles. I’ll also show how, with MS Project software, you can build a WBS in all possible project life cycles. We will conclude with the importance of a WBS in a project or program.
WBS Definition
The project management institute (PMI®) defines WBS as follows:
A WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.
The definition looks quite simple, but it’s a very significant statement for understanding the WBS. Let’s break it down.
Hierarchical structure: The WBS is usually a hierarchical structure. It can present in a graphical format, tree form, or a tabular structure, but it will always be hierarchical in nature. The highest level of the WBS is known as Level-1 and followed with Level-2. It can continue to Level-N.
Decomposition: The total scope of project work is considered and the team breaks down the work into manageable chunks. That’s why in the name WBS, we have a term breakdown. The decomposition or breakdown of the WBS creates the various levels, deliverables, and work packages. As you follow the breakdown, each descending level of WBS represents a further detailed definition of the work to be done.
Deliverable: The deliverable is the unique, verifiable product, service, or result produced. The WBS is usually deliverable oriented when you do the decomposition. Based on the WBS, deliverables are created by the project team.
The previous statement of deliverable-oriented breakdown will enable us to understand how to actually break the project or program scope down to create the WBS.
WBS Examples
Let’s take, for example, the writing of a book. Say you are writing a book on risk management. You want to have deliverables in terms of “Manuscript,” “Write Book,” “Edit Book,” and finally, “Publish Book.” Under “Write Book,” you have the individual chapters to be written (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and so on). Similarly, under “Edit Book,” you’ll want to edit the individual chapters. In such a case, the WBS would be represented as shown.
At the highest level, i.e., Level-1 (L1), we have the name of the book. In the next level, i.e., Level-2 (L2), we have the phases of writing, such as “Write Book,” “Edit Book,” and “Publish Book.” Next, “Write Book” is broken down into “Chapter 1,” “Chapter 2,” “Chapter 3,” and so also with the other WBS elements in levels. At the lowest level (L3), we have more details on each chapter (“Project Risk,” “Project Risk Management,” and “Agile Risk Management” and so on).
You may have noticed that I’ve assigned a numbering system to each element of the WBS, i.e., “1.2.2.2 Enterprise Risk Management.” The number used is the WBS identifier (ID), and is called the WBS code. This code or identifier uniquely identifies each element of the WBS. The WBS code is part of the WBS dictionary, which has detailed information about each element of the WBS.
But, let’s say you want to have a delivery in terms of your book’s chapters, i.e., Chapter 1 followed by Chapter 2, which in turn is followed by Chapter 3, and so on. In this case, the WBS would be shown as below.
Can you see the differences between the previous WBS and the current one?
In the first WBS, the breakdown is in terms of writing the complete book, followed with editing the book, and finally, its publication. However, in the second WBS, the breakdown is in terms of writing, editing, and publishing individual chapters.
Depending on how you want to deliver, the WBS is built accordingly.
The lowest level of the WBS is known as the work package, where you can estimate for cost and duration. A work package is further broken down into activities, but these are not shown in the WBS, because activities are used in schedule management. The WBS can also have planning packages, which unlike work packages, are without the activities. Planning packages are put in the WBS for known, but unplanned work, whereas the work packages will have both known and planned work.
Above the work package level, there is a control account, where management control is exerted. The approved version of the total scope of work or scope statement, WBS, and WBS dictionary constitute the scope baseline.
At this stage, some questions may be coming to your mind:
What should be done when one can’t decompose to the level of the work package?
How can we implement further schedule or cost planning as they are based on the WBS?
This leads us to the concepts of progressive elaboration and rolling wave planning.
Progressive Elaboration and Rolling Wave Planning
Many management practitioners mistakenly think the concepts of progressive elaboration and rolling wave planning are only applicable in Agile environments. It need not be the case. In fact, these concepts apply both to traditional/Waterfall and adaptive/Agile projects.
Let’s first consider the definition of progressive elaboration. As per PMI:
Progressive elaboration is the iterative process of increasing the level of detail in a project management plan as greater amounts of information and more accurate estimates become available.
It’s highly possible that in a traditional project, there will be elements in the WBS which can’t be broken down further. As and when more clarity comes to those WBS elements, this can be done iteratively. This is progressive elaboration.
One key aspect of Agile development is its iterative nature. The concept of progressive elaboration fits with iterative development—more of which we will see shortly. Decomposition in an Agile project can happen with progressive elaboration, i.e., while building the product backlog, the backlog items are detailed progressively according to their priorities.
Rolling wave planning is a form of progressive elaboration. PMI defines rolling as planning as:
An iterative planning technique in which the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail, while the work in the future is planned at a higher level.
In Agile, rolling wave planning happens with project planning, release planning, and iteration planning. For example, while at the release level, the plan is at a higher level, and for the immediate next iteration, the plan is more detailed and granular.
Agile – Iterative and Incremental
The Agile life cycle is both iterative and incremental, i.e., the product, result, or service is delivered in a series of iterations in an incremental way. To understand all possible life cycles in a project, refer to this article, Why and When to Go for Agile Life Cycle.
Let’s reuse our book example from earlier to understand how we can apply WBS in Agile mode. We want to write a book in an iterative and incremental way.
Iterative development is based on this premise:
We rarely get anything right for the first time, and it takes time to get anything right! Hence, iterate.
This is especially true in an environment when change is high, requirements are highly uncertain, and scope has differing perceptions among stakeholders. In such a case, we iterate. The focus in iterative development is learning optimization, rather than speed of delivery.
When writing a book, I wouldn’t complete ONE chapter in just one go. I would write, edit, delete, and rewrite the content of a chapter many times. The first version is usually a poorly written one, which gets better with feedback and iterations. In fact, while writing this article, I’ve followed the iterative mode of development, where I iterated the sections of this chapter multiple times.
Incremental development, on the other hand, is based on this premise:
It is better to build some of it (the product, service, or result) than to build all of it! Hence, deliver incrementally.
Again, taking the example of the book, I wouldn’t complete ALL the chapters in one go. Rather, I’ll write one chapter at a time and deliver it to an initial audience who wants to have a look. While editing the first chapter and writing the second, I’ll incorporate their feedback. The next chapter is built on top of the first chapter, and the subsequent chapters will be built on top of the previous ones – hence, the book develops in an incremental way. The focus in incremental development is speed of delivery.
While writing this article, I’ve also used incremental mode, i.e., I completed the first incremental cut and shared it with Jana Phillips, my editor. Jana has checked, added, and edited the article, providing me with her feedback. There may have been a new section added for the next incremental stage. In the final build, I’ll review it again and advise if anything more is needed. Finally, we go live with publication by the MPUG team (republished here).
Agile development combines and leverages both iterative development with improved or optimized learning and incremental development with speed of delivery. This is depicted below.
WBS in Predictive Life Cycle
In a predictive life cycle model, requirements are fully known, change is low, and risk is also low. Hence, the phases in a project can be sequentially executed, though the final product (or service or result) is delivered at the end of the final phase.
Taking our book example, one can say the following phases of the project create the book. (I’ve made the phases a bit more formal compared to the previous example.)
With the adoption of these phases, the WBS will become as is shown below.
At L1, you have the project name, i.e., “Book – Risk Management.” At L2, you have the various phases. The level-2 elements of the WBS are further decomposed to finally give us the work packages:
“1.2 Design” is broken down to “1.2.1 Front Cover” and “1.2.2 Back Cover.”
“1.3 Development” is broken down to “1.3.1 Write Book” and “1.3.2 Edit Book,” which are further broken down to the individual chapter level.
With Microsoft Project as your tool, you create and plot the WBS quickly as I’ve shown in the next figure.
The default WBS code for the WBS elements (i.e., 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 …) can be shown by enabling the “Outline Number” under the Format tab. You can also create custom WBS codes with the help of this tool. The graphical side has various timescales, and, in our case, it has three tiers—the top tier in quarters, middle tier in months, and the bottom tier in weeks.
WBS in Agile Life Cycle
In Agile approaches, the scope of a project is not clearly known from the beginning. It evolves throughout the lifecycle. All the requirements, features, epics, and stories for the project are part of the (Product) Backlog, as this article explains.
Though WBS is often associated with predictive lifecycles, in Agile approaches, WBS can be used. The scope of an Agile project is supported by the backlog. In Agile development, epics are decomposed into user stories, just like high level elements in a traditional WBS are finally decomposed into work packages. Also, as the work package represents the lowest level in a WBS, (user) stories will represent the lowest level of a WBS in an Agile project. In other words, you could say work packages in an Agile WBS will be equal to the (user) stories.
You may be wondering how to decompose from the project level to the user story level. There are many approaches, but for this piece we will explore a Project to Release to Iteration to (User) Stories scenario. The project is divided into multiple releases. Each release will have many iterations, and, in every iteration, we will deliver a set of features (an entire chapter, part of a chapter, or design of the book). The features can be estimated in story points. I’ve selected this decomposition approach to be consistent with my previous article on Agile Release Planning.
As we already know, Agile is both iterative and incremental. Hence, we have to deliver incremental value in every iteration.
As shown above, at L1, you have the project name, i.e., “Book – Risk Management.” However, at L2, you have the various releases shown. The level-2 elements of the WBS are the further decomposed iterations (L3), and in every iteration, we will deliver the chapters (L4) estimated in story points. This level could be considered the work package level for this Agile WBS.
Like with the traditional WBS, with MS Project, this WBS can be as easily created. The software tool supports a Scrum framework, where iterations are known as Sprints. The created WBS is shown below.
As shown in the above WBS, we have releases broken down into Sprints, and in each Sprint, we will be delivering a chapter or part of a chapter. This is a tabular view of the WBS and can be seen in Sprint Planning Sheet view.
You can switch to the Gantt Chart view to see the graphical depiction of the chart, which is shown below.
While the scope defines the why of the project, the WBS tells the what of the project. It doesn’t inform how or when the deliverables will be produced or who will produce the deliverables.
The how part of the project comes later and is informed by the activities or tasks of the project. The how much part of the project also comes later and is typically addressed under the umbrella of cost management. The when part is best described by the project schedule. The who part of the project is addressed by resource management, i.e., the team members who will be executing the projects to give the required deliverables.
Nevertheless, it’s the what part of the project, the Work Breakdown Structure, which drives these other aspects—the how to do, when to do, how much money will it take, and who will do it. The WBS provides a clear vision of the total scope of work involved in a project and is the beginning stage of defining the deliverables—both intermediate and final deliverables—to be created. Due to its visual nature, the WBS is an effective communication tool used by managers in a project or a program.

ACP Live Lessons Success Story: ACP Live Lessons is the Best Way to Earn Your PMI-ACP Credential
By Sindhu Pillai, PMI-ACP, PMP
One year ago, I attended an interview and the interviewer asked me a large number of questions on Agile methodologies. I couldn’t even answer a single question properly.
I took it very personally and felt very offended by it. I made up my mind to master this topic and decided to earn the PMI-ACP credential.
At the end of my journey, I’ve not only earned the ACP certification, but also understand the Agile mindset and I want to pursue this understanding in my career path.
ACP 21 Contact Hours Experience
I bought Satya's PMI-ACP Book and PMI-ACP Live Video Lessons because I believe in the guarantee he claims. Both the video course and the book have helped me crack the ACP exam. In fact, I was sure that I would crack the ACP exam with Satya’s help.
After going through all domains, I wrote a test conducted by Satya (as a part of ACP Live Lessons, FAQs). After completing the test, I received the needed 21 contract hours to fill the ACP exam application form.
I first bought Satya’s course material (bought both the book and video course) to kick-start my preparation. However, I couldn’t stick to a regular routine of keeping in touch with the course as my official workload increased. I also had a few family emergencies because of which I had a gap in my studies and was finding it very difficult to get back on track.
When I took PMP training from Satya, I remember his words: “Everyone is enjoying their weekends. But you are sitting here and attending classes. MAKE IT COUNT”. I kept telling myself, “make it count Sindhu for the weekends and hours you have already put in by sacrificing all the weekend time.”
I did put my heart and soul into preparation and went hard during December 2021, when the workload reduced. In this month and previous one, I could invest up to 8 hrs a day in preparation.
Preparation and practice of questions will be the keys and there is no shortcut to success! I’ve gone through Satya’s Live Lessons course a couple of times till my concepts were clear. Simultaneously, I made my notes, which I could refer to whenever needed. And I did a lot of Mock Questions, which were provided by him.
I did have my ups and downs during the preparation. Satya was always available to help me with all queries and guide me through any obstacle I came across.
Review – PMI-ACP Live Lessons
The ACP Live Lessons course comes with a money back guarantee with no conditions applied, except you appearing in the exam. I was very certain that this course is a complete package to earn this certification. Also, I’ve already used Satya’s PMP Live Lessons, which helped me to clear the PMP exam. Hence, I didn’t have any second thoughts before getting the Live lessons and the I Want To Be An ACP book from Satya.
The ACP Live Lesson course covers every possible aspect of Agile and associated concepts. Satya has created short and long videos and broken down the lessons in such a way that it makes our life easier. At certain points Satya asks a few questions which act like revisions automatically. There are a set of Smart Card questions after every domain which ensures you have the fundamentals in place.
After every domain there are a good number of mock questions provided. This helps you to gauge your understanding with respect to the specific domain. Once you are done preparing with all the domains, there are lessons available with video exercises which gauges your overall understanding of this course.
I found this course very helpful in understanding the Agile principles, values, methodologies in a very insightful way.
After you are done with all the domains and practice tests provided at the end of the individual lessons, there are six full-length questions sets provided in this course. These question sets get tougher with each set.
These question sets will train to face the exam questions where you get 180 minutes to appear 120 questions. My score was consistently above 95 to 100. Satya informed me these scores are good.
Finally, in my ACP exam, I was able to score Above Target in five domains and Target in two domains. This I did in a few months after the knowledge I gained using this course material and by doing 6 full length questions provided by Satya.
ACP Exam Experience
I booked a centre close to my house to avoid longer travel in traffic. I visited the exam centre a day prior to the exam and enquired about the documents required on the day of exam. The full-length mock questions had given me a feel of the actual exam. The more seriously you take it, the easier it will be for you in the exam.
Following are highlights from my ACP Exam:
In the ACP exam I faced a lot of questions on Scrum, Retrospectives, Kanban and Velocity.
There are not many mathematical questions. I had faced one on Velocity.
The exam follows the domain distribution closely. The better prepared you are, the higher chances of you clearing the exam.
During the exam, keep a tab on timing and ensure you don’t spend much time on a single question. There is an option to flag the question which can be reviewed later.
There is an inbuilt calculator on the screen. Hence, you don’t have to carry a calculator.
Suggestions for ACP Aspirants
Always stay focused and always stay in touch with the course during preparation.
Do a lot of practice questions and revisit the areas where you go wrong.
Pay special attention to topics where Satya says: it’s important.
I did prepare thoroughly on Scrum, Kanban, Velocity, Charts, XP, Retrospective and I did get a lot of questions in my exam related to them.
I’ve always visualized myself clearing the exam and returning home with a pack of sweets and that did happen, so it’s important to stay positive.
Don’ts:
You should always remember that by failing to prepare you are preparing to fail!! Hence, leave no stones unturned when you prepare. Success will follow you.

The Value of an Agile Project Management Office in 2020s
Imagine this scenario as you start-off your day: You open your business site and the message says: “it doesn’t exist.” You then try to login to your email account, which also displays the same message. Your heartbeat goes up and you rub your eyes in disbelief. You remember receiving emails from customers about payments via payment apps, but there too, the same message is displayed, “this account doesn’t exist!” Overall, you feel like the character of the 1998 movie, Enemy of the State.
Is my imagination running wild? Not really.
Such a scenario happened to many in mid-December 2020. A number of service providers’ sites and applications were hacked and systems were brought down. In fact, I thought my personal computer had been hacked, and I rebooted a couple of times without knowing what exactly to do because my service providers’ status dashboards were all green–a good 10 minutes into the internet outage.
Now imagine that a senior executive starts off his day and decides first to have a quick look at the project dashboard expecting to see metrics such as the current status of projects, earned value indices in terms of money and performances, and top risks. Instead, he sees story boards, iteration and release burndown charts, and velocity graphs. Can you feel the frustration, confusion, and possibly anger? What could have been done differently?
Welcome to the concept of the Project Management Office or PMO.
In this article, we will learn about PMOs as organizational structures, about various types of PMOs, and about traditional roles within a PMO. Then, we will dive into the topic of Agile PMO, its relevance, and a number of roles that can be played by such a PMO.
PMO Definition
Any organization exists primarily to provide business value to its stakeholders–internal or external. A PMO, like the service providers I mentioned in the example at the beginning of this article, also exists to provide value and insight into project performances.
The Project Management Institute (PMI) provides a broad definition of PMO as:
A project management office (PMO) is an organizational structure that standardizes the project-related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of resources, methodologies, tools, and techniques.
As noted in the definition, a PMO is an organizational structure. If it exists, then a number of Project Managers (PMs) can be a part with various roles and responsibilities.
Do note that the “P” in PMO can stand for a project, program, or portfolio, and the “O” can refer to the organization itself.
With a standardized set of processes, practices, and metrics, enabled by a PMO, the executive stakeholder would not have faced the “it does not exist” situation as previously mentioned.
Types of PMOs
As per PMI, there are three types of PMOs:
A Supportive PMO largely plays a consultative role such as providing templates, imparting training and coaching, and storing lessons learned across projects.
A Controlling PMO plays a role in project compliance to standards and/or regulations, and it ensures conformance with various governances and associated frameworks. It can also be involved in audits of projects and project works.
A Directive PMO exerts highest power and has the ability to initiate and/or terminate projects in an organization. You can say, this PMO directly manages all of an organization’s projects.
While the degree of control provided by the supportive PMO will be low, controlling and directive PMOs will have moderate and high degrees of control, respectively.
Traditional Roles of PMO
If a PMO structure exists in an organization, then the main role in a traditional set-up is to support the PMs. Beyond that, the PMO holds some or all of these listed responsibilities:
Standardization: Standardization of processes, policies, procedures, templates, and other documentation, along with compliance.
Knowledge sharing and retention: Acting as a repository of lessons-learned and providing access to projects as and when needed.
Training: Facilitating or conducting, providing coaching, and mentoring.
Consulting: Adopting various project management frameworks or methods.
Resourcing: Managing shared resources across projects.
Communication: Coordination communication across various projects.
For a PMO, unlike a program or portfolio, it’s not necessary that the projects are related or managed as a collection.
With this background, let’s proceed towards the concept of Agile PMO. The first question that comes to mind in having a PMO coupled with an Agile approach is this:
Is a PMO really needed at all in an Agile setting? Are not Agile teams cross-functional, self-organizing, and self-managing?Isn’t there a leader who serves the team and removes the impediments?
At first-glance, having an Agile PMO may look contradictory–not only to the way Agile teams operate, but also to Agile values and principles. However, it need not be the case.
As noted in the definition, a PMO is an organizational structure. Your organization may or may not have such a PMOstructure, but if your organization does and your organization is transforming itself to adopt Agile practices, then it must change to have an Agile PMO because agile creates structural, as well as mindset changes.
Instead of a traditional directing or commanding/controlling PMO which first dictates and enforces standards, policies, procedures, an Agile PMO is more facilitative in nature. An Agile PMO takes the most effective practices used in other projects and shares them across the organization. An Agile PMO is useful when an organization is doing a transition to an Agile approach, and particularly can play a crucial role if the organization is planning to undergo an Agile transformation.
In the context of Agile, PMOs will have the characteristics shown in the below figure:
Let’s break these down one at a time.
Value-Driven
This is the most important aspect of an Agile PMO. The PMO’s goal should be to deliver the right value. An agile PMO should have a customer collaboration mindset. Customers, in this case, are the internal customers within the organization and can also be external customers. In many cases, this may result in PMOs working as a “consulting business unit” in an organization. The PMO can tailor their work to meet the customer’s need. For example, the PMO is responsible for providing the template for use story or the template for Product Review/Demonstration.
Multi-Disciplinary
An Agile PMO should have competencies other than project management, e.g., organization design, change management etc.
Center-of-Excellence (CoE)
With a plethora of Agile frameworks available, it’s easy to get lost in the woods. An Agile PMO deeply understands a variety of approaches available and can adopt or tailor the ones that best meets the organizational needs.
Change-Agent
An organization usually struggles while transforming to fully adopt Agile values, principles, and practices. It’s never easy to move into a different mindset and way of working. An Agile PMO acts as a change-agent and guide.
Invitation-Oriented
An Agile PMO invites for its services only the projects or project teams which are interested in PMO services. This kind engagement ensures that the practices are followed vs. a PMO forcing its practices on teams.
Roles Played by Agile PMO
Let’s consider some of the roles played and responsibilities that can be taken-up by an Agile PMO. There are many applicable roles here, and I’ve highlighted a few of them in the below figure.
Let’s consider them one by one.
Multi-project Management
Whereas the Agile project manager is the obstacle remover for the team, many times an Agile PMO overlooking a number of projects is an obstacle remover for the program (defined as a collection of interrelated projects, sub-programs, and other works).
At the level of a portfolio, which is a collection of programs, projects, sub-portfolios, and operations, the PMO can work on investment themes, i.e., which project to take on or invest in.
In the beginning stages of an Agile transformation, it’s highly likely that there will be resistances to the changes being brought in. The PMO, in this case, informs, communicates, educates, and gets buy-in from the stakeholders having Agile mindset, values, and principles.
Simultaneously, when a trial project is undertaken by an Agile PMO, the team members may not get the needed support from stakeholders across the organization. Here, too, an Agile PMO can help provide training to existing or aspiring POs, SMs, Agile PMs, and team members.
Standard Development and Implementation
Earlier we saw the roles played by PMOs in a traditional set-up. In the context of Agile, the PMO can provide:
Templates for user stories,
Tools to be used for wireframes,
Samples for burn-down/up charts,
Metrics to be used, among others…
If different teams have different metrics, it doesn’t help the organization at all. Sometimes, teams may even inflate data to show they have done more than planned. An Agile PMO helps to standardize on meaningful metrics such as release burndown, cycle time, etc.
Compliance and Audit
An Agile PMO can act as the informant on compliance issues and/or amplify the teams’ external department needs regarding compliance. The Agile PMO, in this case, should try to be facilitative, i.e., listen to what is working for the team instead of dictating or directing.
If it’s regulatory compliance, then the PMO can find ways to get it done, e.g., putting it as a backlogged item in the Product Backlog in collaboration with the Product Owner (PO).
The Agile PMO, like its traditional counterpart, can participate in audits, which is basically to see if project activities comply with organizational, as well as project policies, processes, and procedures. An example is participation in Quality Audit.
In any organization, there will be critical resources, which are shared across Agile teams, e.g., architects, database administrators (DBAs), technical writers, etc. Sometimes, non-human resources have to be procured from outside, and these are used on a shared basis. An Agile PMO can work with the POs, Agile PMs, Scrum Masters (SMs), and Functional Heads to satisfy the need of such resources.
The Agile PMO can also help in hiring resources and evaluating team members. An example is developing interview guidelines for Agile practitioners.
Training, Coaching, and Mentoring
Here the Agile PMO can act as a coach, trainer, and educator by themselves or by partnering (or coordinating) with the training unit of the organization or external training organization.
The Agile PMO can conduct sessions on:
Behavior Driven Development (BDD),
Retrospectives and intraspectives,
Story writing workshops,
Story mapping workshops,
Backlog prioritization, among others.
Strategic Focus and Alignment
In an Agile PMO setting, the product backlog is executed over a number of iterations or with a flow-based cadence in order to move towards the vision or goal of the product. This, in turn, is usually linked with the strategic objectives, mission, and vision of an organization.
However, a large organization can have many initiatives with hundreds (or thousands) of projects running. In such cases, it’s possible to miss the strategic alignment for all projects in the organization. The Agile PMO defines and ensures a strategy deployment method.
In addition, an Agile PMO can also have additional roles such as that of a traditional PMO—facilitating learning by storing, managing, and dispensing lessons learned from various retrospectives.
In the beginning of this article, I raised the question, Do we really need Agile PMO when Agile teams are self-managing and cross-functional?
Over the course of this article, we discussed various utilities of having such an organizational structure. However, if it’s a small organization, if the owner of the organization is driving few projects on his or her own, or if there are dedicated departments for compliance, audit, training etc., then an Agile PMO may not be needed.
Nevertheless, for a large organization that requires a complete Agile transformation and/or has a large number of projects running, the Agile PMO structure will bring a number of benefits and business value.

A Deeper Look: Top Changes in the New 2020 Scrum Guide for Agile Practitioners
A new version of Scrum guide was released in November, 2020. There are quite a few changes in the guide, as well as new additions. While the outline and structure of the guide have remained almost the same, as you go through the guide, you will immediately notice three high-level changes:
The new guide is a much lighter and smaller version.
It’s less prescriptive and seems to be intended for a wider audience group, particularly non-software users.
It contains commitments for each of the Scrum artifacts.
In this article, I’ll outline the top changes and the deeper meaning associated with each change. My perspective is based on my analysis, my own interpretations, and the interactions I’ve had with Agile practitioners who follow my publications, books, and/or courses.
The Product Goal has been defined clearly. It’s not an introduction because it existed earlier, but in the previous version, it was mentioned along with the vision.
As per the guide, the Product Goal is the future state of the product. This definition of the ‘goal’ can create confusion for many who understand project-program-portfolio management and how goals aligns with the vision, mission, strategy, and objectives of an organization.
Ideally, the vision is the future of a product or program/portfolio or an organization. A vision is always associated with goals, without which a vision has no value or meaning.
However, as you look closely at the new guide, a big picture emerges:
The Product Goal is the long-term objective of the team.
A team works on and fulfills a single objective at a time.
Before tackling another objective, the team has to fulfill (or abandon) the objective they are currently working on.
In other words, the goal is written with one or more objectives for the team. As the product roadmap is prepared, it gives further directional clarity to the product goal. The product goal should be linked to the strategic goals of the organization. One could summarize this by saying:
The Product Goal is more strategic in nature, whereas,
Sprint(s), mentioned as a project in the guide, will be tactical in nature.
With each Sprint (iteration), the product moves closer to the product goal.
The Product Owner (PO) is the person who is responsible in building, and clearly communicating product goal to the team. The items in the product backlog (PBIs) should map to the Product Goal. Product Goal also reflects one of the values of Scrum: “Focus.” The team, as earlier noted, should focus on one objective at a time.
Now, you may be wondering what happens when multiple teams are working on the product backlog?
Regardless of the number of teams, there will be a single product backlog, a single PO, and a single product goal. This is depicted in the figure below.
Commitment based Artifacts
Now, every artifact in Scrum comes with a commitment.
The formal artifacts in Scrum are three:
Now, all these artifacts come with commitments to ensure transparency and progress.
For Product Backlog, the commitment is the Product Goal.
For Sprint Backlog, the commitment is the Sprint Goal.
For Increment, the commitment is the Definition of Done (DoD).
While Product Goal is newly introduced, Sprint Goal and DoD (earlier called “done”) existed earlier. In the new guide, all of these have found homes. For example, the home of Product Goal is the Product Backlog.
At this point, it may be useful to note that “Commitment’ is also one of the values of Scrum, others being Focus, Openness, Respect, and Courage. Hence, one can say that commitment-based artifacts are reflections of one of the Scrum’s values. Commitments also increase “Focus,” another Scrum value.
I’ve mentioned the values here, because I believe they are very important, but you shouldn’t confuse values such as openness, courage, honesty, etc. with the value that you get while delivering an increment, although the latter is also important.
As the saying goes, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
In my view, it’s actually the values and value-system which eat strategy for breakfast. Strategy execution is the downstream of culture. Culture is the downstream of human, team, or organizational values. And values are the downstream of the philosophy on which civilizations (or a team/organization) is based.
At times, values are thrown around like punchlines, brandished as political weapons, or misused for self-serving interests. It’s true adherence to values that really matters because without values, nothing really works. This is true for a person, team, organization, or even a civilization.
As we proceed through the other changes, I’ll continue to reflect on the Scrum values.
Multiple Increments
Earlier it was mentioned that an Increment will happen at the end of Sprint. Now, within a Sprint, multiple Increments can happen.
An Increment happens when a backlogged item meets the DoD. Hence, an Increment can be created at any point of time during a Sprint. This is depicted in the below figure.
As shown, at the end of the Sprint, we have Increments. Increments can also happen at any time during the Sprint. The new guide clearly informs that Sprint Reviews should not be considered “gates” for releasing value.
As there can be multiple Increments, the sum of all these Increments are presented to the (key) stakeholder at the Sprint Review.
Introduction of Cadence
For the first time, we are introduced of a concept called “Cadence.”
This is an important introduction, which is missed by many Agile practitioners. Cadence is used in other Agile frameworks such as Kanban, and is basically a rhythm that gets developed as one continuously follows a set of events over a period of time.
In Scrum, the cadence is provided in the form of five events:
Sprint – the container event
Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Retrospective, and Sprint Review – the contained events within a Sprint
I’ll suggest that you read this change along with the previous change of “Multiple Increments.” As you go through these updates together, you can see two things emerge:
Development is happening in cadence, whereas,
An Increment can be there at any time during the Sprint.
You can say development (or build) of the product and incremental delivery have been decoupled. In fact, they can be thought to be of two streams as shown below.
As shown, the stream for cadence is decoupled from the stream for increment. The diamond shapes in the cadence stream denote the Sprint Reviews. While there is an increment at the end of the review, on-demand increments can happen at any time, as we see in the increment stream.
Cadence helps with inspection, which is one of the pillars of empiricism. This, in turn, drives another value of Scrum: “Openness.”
Lean Thinking
Earlier the guide referred to empiricism. Lean thinking has appeared for the first time.
Empiricism is a practice which is based on knowledge coming from experience and what you know or have observed. The three pillars are: Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation.
To include and encourage lean thinking, the wording in the guide has changed in quite a few places. For example, the guide notes: “Transparency enables inspection. Inspection without transparency is misleading and wasteful.” Again, remember that “Transparency” (or Openness) is one of the values in Scrum.
A key principle of lean thinking is to avoid “Muda,” a Japanese term meaning “waste.” When work is not done after being taken into a Sprint, the result is Muda. With DoD, Muda is avoided. Do remember DoD is the commitment for an increment. With DoD:
You know exactly what it means to have an increment.
The team is compelled to complete the items taken, not start taking new items.
One can say it’s about: Start Finishing, Stop Starting.
From that perspective, some elements of Kanban have been absorbed into Scrum.
Introduction of “Why” in Sprint Planning
Other than “what” to do in the Sprint and “how” to do it, the “why” aspect has been introduced.
Earlier, before the start of Sprint Planning event, two questions were emphasized:
Topic – 1: What should be done in this Sprint?
Topic – 2: How do we do it within the Sprint?
In the new guide, emphasis has been given to Sprint Goal. Hence, we now have three aspects:
Topic – 1: Why is this Sprint valuable?
This is shown in the below figure.
Sprint Goal has to be collaboratively defined by the entire team. The introduction of Sprint Goal in the Sprint Planning event, reemphasizes a value of Scrum: “Focus.”
Single Scrum Team
Earlier, there was a Development Team within the Scrum Team. There is no ‘team within team’ now.
A Scrum Team is one, and it consists of the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers. This is a step away from the “us-vs-them” mentality created with the term “Development Team” earlier. It also avoids a “throw-over-the-wall” mentality (i.e. my or my group’s work is done and now is the time to throw it over the wall, so that the other group takes care of it!)
Now, the team is considered to be a cohesive unit of people focused on the Product Goal. The PO, SM, and Developers are all intrinsic parts of the Scrum Team. The new version of the guide also notes that the team is the fundamental unit of Scrum.
The single Scrum Team concept enables two values of Scrum: “Respect” and “Openness.” With a single team concept, there is less likelihood of “us-vs-them” mentality.
Also, a single team concept with no hierarchies creates a culture where everyone knows that the team succeeds or fails together, hence candor goes-up. It’s likely to stop compartmentalization of members, prohibit group or community biases, reduce politics, and cripple finger-pointing, and eliminate blame-games and back-biting. If one team member is failing, it means the whole team is likely to fail with their ability to meet the goals of Sprints, the goal of the Product, or the honoring the DoD. The team moves towards, or strives to be, an indivisible whole.
Self-Managing Team
Instead of “Self-organizing,” the team is now “Self-managing.”
Agile teams are cross-functional meaning that they have all the needed skills to do the work and create value in each Sprint. Along with that, whereas the team was described to be self-organizing in the earlier edition, the terminology has now been changed to self-managing. There is a subtle difference between these two terms. Self-managed teams go one step ahead of self-organized teams.
A self-organizing team chooses who will work and how to do the work. A self-managing team, on the other hand, chooses who, how, and what to work upon. In my view, the team can consider the new aspect of “what,” because the PO is now explicitly part of the team.
It’s not that a team will be self-organizing from Day 1 or even within a few weeks of interactions. The team has to go through the stages of team formation, such as forming, storming, norming, and performing.
Also, with the introduction of “what,” the team decides which items are to be taken-up for the next Sprint. This, in turn, reflects another aspect of Lean Thinking: “Muri,” another Japanese term meaning “overburden.” As the team decides what items are to be taken-up, Muri is less likely to arise. When what items are determined at the beginning of the Sprint, it reflects another aspect of lean thinking: Just-in-time (JIT).
Not a Servant Leader, but a Leader who Serves
The Scrum Master being referred to as the Servant-Leader of the team has been removed.
The guide currently notes, “The Scrum Masters (SM) are true leaders who serve the Scrum Team and the larger organization.”
This enables the SM to play a larger role in the organization. The SM is not only now accountable for establishment of Scrum, the SM also leads, trains, and coaches the organization on Scrum adoption. He or she also advises the organization on Scrum implementation.
In my view, this is a positive change because I’ve noticed that the words, “Servant Leader,” have been weaponized by some teams. The SM is not a clerk or secretary to take notes during Sprint events and send meeting emails or reminders. The role of a SM is much bigger with a focus, not only on the team, but also playing a broader role in the organization. This larger aspect is emphasized by putting leadership first.
As you go through the new guide, you may also notice changes such as:
The three questions of Daily Scrum are no longer mentioned.
One process improvement item from Sprint Retrospective, which must be taken into the next Sprint’s backlog is no longer there.
The term “useable” has been used in place of the term “releasable,” among many others.
In this article, I’ve elaborated on some of the top changes. I hope you are not only aware of these, but understand the deeper, philosophical reasonings behind these changes in the Scrum framework.

Vietnam Vets sought for Honor Flights
COLUMBUS - Honor Flight Columbus is seeking applications from those who served in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War years. That time period is Feb. 28, 1961 to May 7, 1975.
The first flight will be for Purple Heart recipients on Oct. 22. This is the last flight for 2016. Veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart medal should apply soon for this one-day trip to Washington, D.C.
Beginning in April of 2017, all Vietnam-era veterans who apply will be included on regular flights. Applications and detailed information about the program are available at www.HonorFlightColumbus.Org or by calling the office at 614-284-4987. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13182 | {"url": "https://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/news/local/2016/06/21/vietnam-vets-sought-honor-flights/86199620/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:01:47Z", "digest": "sha1:DV2KSWR7IHKZROIE34PXSJKSBAF36ORE"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 673, 673.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 673, 4413.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 673, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 673, 21.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 673, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 673, 135.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 673, 0.33571429]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 673, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 673, 0.02218115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 673, 0.03571429]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 673, 0.23571429]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 673, 0.71559633]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 673, 4.96330275]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 673, 4.22130413]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 673, 109.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 218, 1.0], [218, 431, 1.0], [431, 673, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 218, 0.0], [218, 431, 0.0], [431, 673, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 38, 6.0], [38, 218, 31.0], [218, 431, 38.0], [431, 673, 34.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 218, 0.06470588], [218, 431, 0.02926829], [431, 673, 0.05982906]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 218, 0.0], [218, 431, 0.0], [431, 673, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 38, 0.10526316], [38, 218, 0.1], [218, 431, 0.05164319], [431, 673, 0.03305785]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 673, 0.03135878]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 673, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 673, 0.02197003]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 673, -43.85313745]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 673, -0.96694654]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 673, -12.33334314]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 673, 14.0]]} |
Genetic and Environmental factors driving Lung Cancer Rates in Atlantic Canada

Project Title: Genetic and Environmental factors driving Lung Cancer Rates in Atlantic Canada
MOHCCN Consortium: Atlantic Cancer Consortium (ACC)

To evaluate environmental factors that contribute to lung cancer (LC) in Atlantic Canada
To uncover germline variants and genetic mutation signatures underlying LC in AC and lung cancer multiple primary (LCMP) tumors using whole-genome sequencing (WGS)
To compare the genetic mutational profiles from Aim 2 with changes in the total transcriptome in these cancers from individuals with and without identified germline cancer predisposition variants as well as those with high vs low levels of environmental risk factor exposure (i.e. radon, uranium, thorium, arsenic).
In Canada, one in every five cases of lung cancer is diagnosed in people who have never smoked. This suggests that the causes of lung cancer are not only related to smoking, but to other environmental factors as well. The main environmental causes of lung cancer in non-smokers are radon, arsenic, and other environmental carcinogens. Radon is a gas that builds up in sealed areas, such as newer buildings, and damages DNA with radiation. Arsenic, a metalloid, can get into food and water supplies, and damage cells through chemical reactions. Air pollution and other forms of radiation can also contribute to lung cancer in people who do not smoke. In Atlantic Canada, the rate of lung cancer is around 30% higher than in other provinces. Environmental factors (such as radon, arsenic, and air pollution) are thought to be the cause of this high rate. The unique genetic structure of the population in Atlantic Canada could also make some individuals more likely to be affected by environmental carcinogens. Interestingly, more than 10% of cases of lung cancer in Nova Scotia present with additional primary tumors in organs that are known targets of environmental carcinogens linked to lung cancer (such as arsenic).
We hypothesize that the combination of environmental exposure and genetic factors in Atlantic Canada is associated with the high rate of lung cancer. This exposure could also explain the emergence of a cohort of lung cancer patients with multiple primary cancers (LCMP) of different tissue origins, and the clustering of lung cancer in certain families in this region. We will measure exposure to residential radon in AC, estimate exposure to arsenic, air pollution and other elements using geographical province-wide mapping, and determine the amount of arsenic and other metals present in lung tissue from the Nova Scotia Lung Tumour Bank using a technology called inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP- MS), which measures the amount of metals present in a sample. We will use DNA and RNA sequencing of the tumors analyzed to investigate how genetic and epigenetic variations are related to levels of environmental exposure. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13183 | {"url": "https://www.marathonofhopecancercentres.ca/our-research/genetic-and-environmental-factors-driving-lung-cancer-rates-in-atlantic-canada", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.marathonofhopecancercentres.ca", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:02:14Z", "digest": "sha1:YSCGL332WGZPZM4UDMFY5SJDAD77EDPO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3284, 3284.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3284, 4786.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3284, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3284, 64.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3284, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3284, 331.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3284, 0.32937182]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3284, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3284, 0.0756396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3284, 0.0756396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3284, 0.0756396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3284, 0.0756396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3284, 0.0756396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3284, 0.0756396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3284, 0.05561735]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3284, 0.03559511]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3284, 0.03337041]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3284, 0.03395586]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3284, 0.1426146]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3284, 0.446]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3284, 5.394]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3284, 4.85192494]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3284, 500.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 79, 0.0], [79, 180, 0.0], [180, 274, 0.0], [274, 326, 0.0], [326, 491, 0.0], [491, 557, 1.0], [557, 646, 0.0], [646, 810, 0.0], [810, 1126, 1.0], [1126, 2345, 1.0], [2345, 3284, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 79, 0.0], [79, 180, 0.0], [180, 274, 0.0], [274, 326, 0.0], [326, 491, 0.0], [491, 557, 0.0], [557, 646, 0.0], [646, 810, 0.0], [810, 1126, 0.0], [1126, 2345, 0.0], [2345, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 79, 11.0], [79, 180, 14.0], [180, 274, 13.0], [274, 326, 6.0], [326, 491, 17.0], [491, 557, 10.0], [557, 646, 13.0], [646, 810, 23.0], [810, 1126, 47.0], [1126, 2345, 200.0], [2345, 3284, 146.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 79, 0.0], [79, 180, 0.0], [180, 274, 0.0], [274, 326, 0.0], [326, 491, 0.0], [491, 557, 0.0], [557, 646, 0.0], [646, 810, 0.0], [810, 1126, 0.00325733], [1126, 2345, 0.003367], [2345, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 79, 0.0], [79, 180, 0.0], [180, 274, 0.0], [274, 326, 0.0], [326, 491, 0.0], [491, 557, 0.0], [557, 646, 0.0], [646, 810, 0.0], [810, 1126, 0.0], [1126, 2345, 0.0], [2345, 3284, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 79, 0.08860759], [79, 180, 0.0990099], [180, 274, 0.09574468], [274, 326, 0.25], [326, 491, 0.16363636], [491, 557, 0.13636364], [557, 646, 0.05617978], [646, 810, 0.07317073], [810, 1126, 0.00632911], [1126, 2345, 0.01640689], [2345, 3284, 0.02981896]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3284, 0.20872623]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3284, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3284, 0.15587449]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3284, -158.61590956]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3284, -7.30155434]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3284, 37.090447]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3284, 19.0]]} |

'I could almost see it come to life': Stratford freshman writes children's book
Marshfield News-Herald
STRATFORD – Ashlyn Solinsky has dreamed of becoming a published author since she was in third grade.
Now, at just 14, she made that dream come true.
Ashlyn, a freshman at Stratford High School, authored the children's book "Happy Snappy Wonderful Places to Go!" The story follows main character Little Annie Rosy Rainbow as she uses her imagination to go on spectacular adventures without leaving her backyard.
The main character is named for two of Ashlyn's great-grandmothers.
"It’s been really neat watching it go from something she wrote in a notebook to what it is today," Ashlyn's mother, Sara Solinsky, said. "She had almost seen the book in her mind already."
A lifelong love of reading and writing inspired Ashlyn to write the book. She's written other short stories, but she knew this one was different.
"I could almost see it come to life," Ashlyn said.
She said it's been great seeing her dream come true at such a young age. Though she has no concrete plans for another book, she said she would love for writing to be her future career.
The book was published by Niko 11 Publishing & Design in Mukwonago and is illustrated by Rob Peters of Topeka, Kansas. Peters has illustrated several children's books, including "Go Car Go" and "Fire Dinos."
The process of writing the book was quick, Ashlyn said. Publishing the book took about a year. Ashlyn was able to make a lot of the decisions about the book on her own, including choosing Peters to illustrate the pictures, her mother said.
People can order copies on the book's Facebook page or by emailing [email protected]. Copies will soon be available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble, as well.

Author Talks: In the ‘age of AI,’ what does it mean to be smart?
As artificial intelligence gets better at predicting human behavior, a business psychologist encourages people to strengthen the uniquely human skills that machine learning has yet to tap.
In this edition of Author Talks, McKinsey Global Publishing’s Raju Narisetti chats with Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic about his new book, I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique (Harvard Business Review Press, February 2023). Chamorro-Premuzic explains why some AI algorithms model humanity as a simple species, how attention has become commoditized, and why the right questions are now more valuable than the right answers. An edited version of the conversation follows.
Why did you write this, your 12th book, now?
I’m a professor of business psychology at Columbia University and UCL [University College London] and the chief innovation officer at ManpowerGroup. I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique is a book about the behavioral consequences or impact of artificial intelligence, including the dark side of human behavior and what we should do to upgrade ourselves as a species.
The book is written at a time that, in my view, could only be described as the AI age. Humans have always relied on technological inventiveness and innovation to shape their cultural and social evolution, and I think there can be very little doubt that the definitive technology of today is artificial intelligence, or AI.
Now, even the wider public is talking about things like ChatGPT and other conversational interfaces, and the tech giants are described mostly as data companies and as algorithmic prediction businesses.
The book was very much written in the midst of the AI age, or under the influence of AI, because I wrote the bulk of this at the height of the pandemic when we had very little physical interaction or contact with other people outside of our nuclear families. This means I was heavily influenced by hyperconnectedness and the datafication of me. Everything I did was being datafied and subjected to the predictive powers of AI during 2020 and 2021.
I can’t say that there won’t be a better era to read the book, but it certainly wouldn’t have had the same connotation and impact if we had published it five or ten years ago.
Haven’t humans always blamed technology for every problem they face?
There is a common tendency for people to overreact to things that are novel, whether in a good way or in a bad way, and technologies are a very good example of this.
Perhaps the best example is how, when the written newspaper first scaled up and productized, people feared that humans would never meet in person ever again because there would be no information or even gossip to exchange if all the news was in written form. Also, from the 1950s onward, people showed concern that television would lead to less intellectual activities, but I don’t think they were wrong because reading habits went down since mass TV was introduced.
What I tried to do with this book is not be at one extreme or the other. What’s important to me is to not miss the opportunity to highlight the behavioral impact and consequences that we have already seen artificial intelligence have on us. This is not a book about AI, but about humans in the AI age.
Although a lot of what I highlight is about the dark side of behaviors that AI has unleashed, there are also some great opportunities that have had very positive effects on us—on both an individual and collective level.
What is the ‘crisis of distractibility’?
What humans do when they’re at their best is focus. I don’t even know that I need to give a lot of examples of distractibility because the audience right now may not be able to focus 100 percent on what I’m saying. It’s likely that they’re also looking at another screen or device.
Attention is finite. There is increasing competition for it, and what happens when you have more companies, vendors, devices, and technological tools competing for our attention? It becomes commoditized, and then we’re left with very, very little [attention], which in turn values the little we have left even more.
We deceive ourselves into thinking that we can do multiple things at once, when in fact all the signs suggest that multitasking is a myth, and we’re just splitting the resources we have between lots of different activities.
I think the dominant feature of the AI age is that life in itself—if not the world in itself—has turned into a big distraction, but we’re only focused on what algorithms and artificial intelligence want us to focus on.
Has AI made people dumb?
This is a question that can only be answered with some nuance. It is important to highlight the main nuances without seeming like we’re sitting on the fence but can’t take a position. I compare it with other technological devices or inventions.
For example, we can talk about the smartphone as something that makes people smarter because when we have that device, and so long as that device is connected to the internet, we are wiser, smarter, and more adaptable than the average human today or even smart humans of the 1960s or 1760s, given that they lacked smartphones.
At the same time, if you measure how smart we are by the actual behaviors that we engage on a typical level—not by the best we can do through the device but by what we mostly do—there is very little indication that we’re being creative, curious, smart, or otherwise exercising our higher-order mental capacity in any way or form.
I think this happens with the AI age too. Just because we can ask Chatbot or open-source AI lots of questions and get the answer doesn’t mean that we’re going to spend a lot of time doing this. In fact, most technologies—and AI is no exception—are invented and optimized for efficiency. One of the qualities of efficiency is that it makes us lazier because being lazier is actually smarter than having to work hard.
What happens when we automate our most impactful and superior cognitive capacity—thinking—and we don’t think for ourselves?
So what happens when we automate our most impactful and superior cognitive capacity—thinking—and we don’t think for ourselves? I think we end up not acting in very smart ways, and then the algorithms are trained by behaviors that have very little to do with intelligence. Most of the stuff we spend doing on a habitual basis is quite predictable and monotonous and has very little to do with our imagination, creativity, or learnability—which is how we refer to curiosity.
What is learnability?
The essence of learnability is intellectual curiosity. It has to do with having a hungry mind. It’s your desire and propensity to want to understand things, to go beyond superficial answers, and to dig deeper to understand the causes of things, deep down.
It makes sense, as I highlight in the book, that in an age where all of the knowledge of the world—which seems very hard to quantify or even grasp—has been outsourced and can be crowdsourced, accessed, and retrieved on an on-demand, 24/7 basis, there is really no advantage in being knowledgeable. Rather, the advantages come from asking questions and being hungry enough for knowledge that you actually leverage access to this information.
Access to knowledge and information has been democratized, but the ability to utilize it in a smart way has become the essence of expertise and intellectual competence.
Interestingly, way before the recent phase of the AI age, if you go back to the 1950s and 1960s a lot of scholars and researchers in the area of creativity noted that one of the main differences between creativity and expertise was that, whereas expertise is the ability to understand something and be in possession of knowledge of information, creativity consists not of having the answers to questions but in asking the right questions.
That is an integral part of learnability. Access to knowledge and information has been democratized, but the ability to utilize it in a smart way has become the essence of expertise and intellectual competence.
Why do you believe that humanity downgrades itself as AI gets better?
We spend a lot of time thinking about the limits of artificial intelligence and how much machines can upgrade themselves, especially given that one of the critical features of AI is its ability to get better and learn in an autonomous way. It’s not about how accurate or smart machine learning programs are, but how good they can get if we feed them the right data and if they have the ability to autocorrect and develop.
But when we do that we miss the fundamental point, which is: What happens to us humans while machines are getting better?
A lot of times we pay attention to this at the level of professional jobs or careers. In previous technological revolutions, people were able to create technologies that made doing certain things easier or enabled them to do more with less, but that also rendered those people irrelevant in those areas, which forced humans to reinvent themselves, upskill, and reskill.
If we take that same logic to the current age, the AI age, the main question that I try to answer in the book is, “What are we doing with ourselves while machines are getting so good at understanding us that they can basically emulate or replicate most behaviors? What should we be doing now that we have created technologies, machines, and computers that can do all these things?”
I don’t know the definitive answer to this question, but I can tell you it’s probably not staring at your screen or phone for most of your day, clicking on boxes, and reacting to algorithmic recommendations to train AI to get even better.
If we think of humanity as the model that algorithms and artificial intelligence try to imitate, we’ve diluted ourselves to create a model of humanity that is too simple. Artificial intelligence has already managed to do most of the things we do. Instead of pushing ourselves to create, be curious, learn, and do things that are beyond AI’s capabilities, it’s almost like we’ve thrown in the towel and have little hope in our capabilities just because we created something that manages to emulate what we do most of the time.
That is the ask at the end of the book: to reclaim our humanity and find ways to be more than what AI thinks we are and more than what the algorithms can predict in our everyday life.

Breaking Down the Basics of ISOs
Companies have several tools they can deploy in order to retain top talent, and one that is gaining traction is incentive stock options, or ISOs. Much like non-qualified stock options (NSOs), ISOs are a form of equity compensation in private or public companies.
ISOs give employees the chance to buy shares of company stock at a discount, and are typically reserved for executives or key employees. ISOs can be an attractive way to retain valued team members due to the preferential tax treatment they allow. To understand their tax benefits, let’s first review a concept called the Alternative Minimum Tax, or AMT.
Employees utilizing ISOs may find themselves subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, or AMT. AMT is a measure to ensure that taxpayers receiving certain tax-preferred income – like ISOs or municipal bonds – pay a minimum tax rate.
There is an AMT exemption amount, so lower-income individuals may not be subject to AMT, while higher-earning individuals may be impacted, such as those exercising large lots of ISOs. AMT is taxed at either 26% or 28%, which is often lower than NSOs taxed at ordinary income tax rates. What makes AMT unique is that the amount of taxes paid may be used as a credit in future years. But this is limited to years that no AMT income is generated, and only to the extent that ordinary income exceeds AMT.
Before exercising an option, it’s always good to remember that stock options are the option and not the obligation to purchase a company’s stock. Employees who are given these options do not have to take part in the offering, although many times they may have a financial incentive to do so.
When exercising an option, there are two costs to consider: the cost of exercising the option and the associated tax that comes with it. The cost of the option is equal to the “strike price” of the option multiplied by the number of options exercised. Taxes upon exercise are calculated based on the “bargain element,” or the difference between the strike price and what the shares are valued at on the day of exercise. For ISOs, taxes on the bargain element are then potentially taxed as AMT.
Cost to Exercise = Cost of Option + Taxes on Exercise*
Cost of Option = Strike Price * # of Options Exercised
Taxes on Exercise* = (FMV – Strike Price) * # of Options Exercised
(Taxes on Exercise may be an AMT preference item – as referenced above – or taxed as ordinary income in the event of a disqualifying disposition.)
How Much to Exercise?
The amount you exercise in an ISO purchase may largely be a financial decision. Is the current share price higher than the “strike price” of your option? Do you have the funds necessary to exercise? Will you owe additional taxes?
While some individuals will have saved up the funds required for their ISO exercise, others may require more creative ways of financing. Short-term loans may be available through banks, financial institutions or the employer. Employers may allow for loan provisions within the 401(k), or the client’s custodian might offer lending on other assets via a securities-backed loan.
Others may decide to exercise NSOs in a call-to-cover strategy, allowing the ISOs to maintain preferential capital gains treatment via a qualifying disposition.
Qualifying Dispositions
A qualifying disposition determines which tax rates will be levied on these options. To “qualify” for this preferential tax treatment, an ISO must be held for at least two years from the date it was granted and at least one year from the date it was exercised.
If the stock is eventually sold after a qualifying disposition, you can enjoy the benefits of AMT and long-term capital gains rates, which currently cap at 23.8%. If the stock is sold after a disqualifying event, you risk getting taxed at your highest ordinary income bracket. The “2-1 Rule” for Qualifying Dispositions can therefore be one of the most important things to consider when using this strategy.
ISOs in Action
Let’s look at a hypothetical “real world” example of ISOs: Prakash was granted 1,000 ISOs at $1. The ISOs came with a three-year vesting schedule, prohibiting Prakash’s ability to fully exercise the ISOs until his third work anniversary. Should he decide not to utilize the ISOs, they also had a seven-year expiration date, at which point his ISOs would no longer be usable.
On Prakash’s fifth work anniversary, his company stock was valued at $6 per share. Believing that the company stock would keep increasing, Prakash exercised all 1,000 options at the original cost of $1 per share. This would have resulted in an AMT adjustment of $5,000 – take the current price ($6) minus the original price ($1) and multiply by the number of options (1,000).
But because Prakash’s household income was below the AMT exemption for that year, he did not owe any additional taxes for exercising the ISOs. Had his income been above the annual exemption or if his AMT adjustment was substantially more, this could have added to his overall tax bill.
Prakash is aware of the tax benefits in waiting for a qualifying disposition of his ISOs, and thus decides to wait at least one year before selling his shares. His patience is rewarded, as just a few months later, his company announces its intent to go public.
When the company holds its IPO the following year, Prakash is pleased to discover his stock is now worth $13.50 per share. Wanting to further his financial goals and pay down his wife’s student loans while also still taking advantage of the company’s future growth potential, Prakash decides to sell half of his equity position.
Prakash’s current equity position is $13,500 ($13.50 per share x 1,000 shares), while his realized equity position is $6,750 ($13.50 per share x 500 shares). His capital gain income upon sale equals $3,750 – take the current share price ($13.50) minus the share price when Prakash exercised his options ($6) and multiply by the number of shares sold (500).
Prakash has both NSOs and ISOs. He has accumulated 1,000 of each over his career, all of which were granted at $1 per share. Prakash would like to exercise his options before they expire, but unfortunately does not have the cash available.
His financial planner suggests a call-to-cover strategy. In doing so, Prakash first exercises and subsequently sells half of his NSOs, valued at $6 per share.
Cost of exercising: $1 per option x 500 options = $500
Taxes on exercising: ($6 – $1) x 500 options = $2,500 ordinary income, which at a 12% effective rate comes to $300
Sale proceeds: ($6 – 1) x 500 options = $2,500
So if we take the full sales proceeds ($2,500) and subtract the cost of exercising ($500) and the additional taxes ($300), Prakash earns $1,700 in net sale proceeds. Prakash then uses his net sale proceeds to exercise his remaining 500 NSOs and 1,000 ISOs.
Cost of exercising NSOs: $1 per option x 500 NSOs = $500
Taxes on exercising: ($6 – $1) x 500 NSOs = $2,500 ordinary income, which at a 12% effective rate comes to $300
Cost of exercising ISOs: $1 per option x 1,000 ISOs = $1,000
Prakash’s total out of pocket: $1,700 – $500 – $300 – $1,000 = a net loss of $100
By utilizing a call-to-cover strategy, Prakash preserves the majority of his options with very little cash outlay. He maintains the tax benefits of the ISOs by not selling them before the 2-1 qualifying disposition clock, and is able to hold onto his equity should his company experience substantial growth in the future.
This example does not reflect sales charges or other expenses that may be required for some investments. Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long term investments.

DuPage County Workers' Compensation Death Benefits Attorney
Death Benefit Attorneys for Family Members of Illinois Workers
If an injury or illness that occurred in an employee's workplace ultimately ends in death, family members or dependents of the employee can receive death benefits through the Illinois workers' compensation system. The knowledgeable workers' compensation attorneys at Mevorah & Giglio Law Offices can help advise you about the death benefits you are entitled to through workers' compensation laws.
Recipients of Workers' Comp Death Benefits
The idea behind death benefits is to help provide monetary support for those who are affected the most by the employee's death. The members of a person's household and any other dependents are presumably the people to whom the death will have a significantly negative impact. A person's spouse and minor children will generally be considered to be dependents. If the person was unmarried and had not minor children, their parents may be eligible for benefits if they were totally dependent on the person. If a person did not have totally dependent parents, other family members may qualify for benefits if they were at least 50 percent dependent on the person
Types of Death Benefits and Award Amounts
In Illinois, beneficiaries can receive monetary support that helps with the expenses associated with the funeral and burial of the deceased. Generally, workers' compensation provides a burial benefit of $8,000. Beneficiaries can also receive benefits that pay a percentage of the deceased's weekly wages. This benefit pays two thirds of the average weekly wage that a person received in the year before they were killed.
The person's spouse will usually be able to receive death benefits for the rest of their life. Benefits may be paid to support minor children until they reach the age of 18. If the spouse remarries, they will still be able to receive benefits until their children reach adulthood. However, if the spouse remarries, and they have no minor children shared with the deceased at the time of the marriage, they will receive a lump sum benefit equal to two years of the compensation benefits they are entitled to receive, and after that, their right to receive benefits will cease. The benefits received by survivors may be adjusted anually based on changes to the cost of living.
Additional Prerequisites
For survivors to qualify for workers' compensation death benefits, their loved one's death must be work-related. The death itself does not necessarly have to stem directly from the injury or illness. The main prerequisite is solely that the injury or illness contributed significantly to the death.
Separation of Benefits
Death benefits awarded to beneficiaries of the deceased are a separate entity than the workers' compensation benefits for a living employee. If an employee is owed his or her regular workers' compensation benefits at the time of their death, these accrued benefits are normally directed to either pass through the deceased's estate or to his or her dependents. Death benefits are separate claims.

What Is Speciality Coffee?
According to most experts, specialty coffee was a term made by Knutsen Coffee Ltd. They had a speech in conference in France, and the concept is highly straightforward.
Geographical microclimates can easily affect the flavor of beans and create uniqueness known as specialty beans.
Of course, you should have in mind that specialty coffee has to be correctly brewed, freshly roasted and well prepared so that you can get the most out of it.
For most people across the globe, coffee is the most popular and favorite daily beverage. However, being a geek is interesting, because through research and dedication you will be able to understand the specific culture of coffee making so that you can drink the best ones.
At the same time, it brings the satisfaction that you will ultimately be aware of what you are drinking and how much. For other people, all coffees are the same, so entering the point of understanding the difference between Ethiopian, Brazilian and Guatemalan beans is not relevant.
If you wish to find speciality coffee to buy online, we recommend you to visit the link we shared with you. It is vital to be informed of what you are eating and drinking because that is the best guarantee that you will have a fantastic experience along the way.
Therefore, in the further text, you will learn more information about specialty beans in general.
1.Geography
Taste, texture, and quality depend on geographical location, especially since specific environment will affect the result you will get. For instance, the optimum temperature for Arabica is approximately between 17 and 21 degrees C.
At the same time, the location requires a significant amount of rain, but not after the harvest during the periods of drying and processing the crop. In general, it tends to grow better on high altitudes, and they have much better flavor than the ones on low grounds.
Apart from that, different continents feature specific flavor profiles due to growing conditions, soil, as well as other environmental factors. Similarly as wine, you can create a difference between beans varieties, especially when comparing ones from different regions.
You should also consider other factors that may affect its flavors such as roasting profile, processing methods, preparation, and freshness.
Single Origin and Single Estate Coffees
It is vital to remember that single origin beans come from the specifically defined country and in most cases, from an individual district or farm. On the other hand, single-estate coffee represents a one, which is made in specific country.
An individual farm can quickly process and harvest particular lots and keep them segregated because it requires systems that will create better-tasting beverages. We are talking about the ones that can be made in specific region.
Remember that farmers are receiving a substantial premium for considerable work, which is essential considering that you should have in mind.
2.Trading
Coffee is one of the most popular commodities that features unstable prices due to its popularity among people.
You should have in mind that the market comes with numerous fluctuations daily, and price volatile has consequences on those that depend on it for steady income.
At the same time, instability of the market creates difficulty for growers because they cannot predict the income as well as budget for farming requirements. Apart from that, the impact of climate change can make a difference in bean production.
Changes are creating severe issues because farmers have to alter harvesting season, use specific chemicals to fight diseases and pests, and the most crucial part is water, which may be problematic during the dry season.
3.Processing
The most significant impact on the flavor is the processing methods that specific manufacturers are using. Remember that processing is vital part of the process because it creates the structure as well as texture that you will use afterward.
The first process involves washing the beans, in which the producer will take the coffee cherry and place it in de-pulpier with an idea to remove the pulp. The next step is to place the beans in water for a short time to allow the breakdown of sugar.
The coffee will head to drying beds, but in case of massive production, manufacturers are using machinery for drying. Remember that washed coffee comes with cleaner, rounder, and more subtle flavor than others, and in general, it is not so intense.
Some manufacturers make semi-washed coffees that are similar to washed ones, but they are not placing the beans in water, which means that they retain sugar on the outside.
This will create a cup with more sweetness and less acidity, which is typical for premium Arabica beans. Finally, the best way to process coffee is through natural strategy. As soon as you pick the cherry, the drying process starts.
As soon as it dries, the bean will separate from the fruit allowing sugars to break down completely. This is the best method possible in the world apart from washed coffee because you will not need machinery and expensive infrastructure to get the unique and perfect flavor.
4.Roasting
Roasting is an essential process that will affect the flavor you will have when drinking your favorite beverage. The idea is to turn the beans from green to brown, so you should roast to break down acids into soluble sugars so that you can extract them during the preparation process.
Each roast depends on time and size, as well as equipment that you used for the process. Roasting is vital because it releases unique flavors that will provide you the ultimate perspective of coffee beans you have.
It is the best representative of origin and quality, as well as other factors for growth, such as weather, geography, and many more. Roasting allows us to develop specific taste based on your particular enjoyment so that you can create a balance between acidity and sweetness.
Every single process for producing the final coffee we drink daily has to be perfect so that coffee could be special. Of course, the next step is household preparation, having high-quality makers and bringing emotions to a process that will also affect the flavor and enjoyment.

Rebuilding A Life And A City After Years On Detroit's Streets
By NPR Staff

Marvin Shaouni for NPR
Isaac Lott has been working in deconstruction for four years. He's one of several Reclaim Detroit employees who have spent time in prison and are now starting a new life with the company.
Each week, Weekend Edition Sunday host Rachel Martin brings listeners an unexpected side of the news by talking with someone personally affected by the stories making headlines.
After years of selling drugs and serving prison time in Detroit, 54-year-old Isaac Lott is now a site supervisor with the organization Reclaim Detroit. The group deconstructs abandoned homes to reclaim materials from them.
These last four years have been wonderful, wonderful for me. I've never been so comfortable in my own skin. Because they gave me an opportunity to really enhance my life. So I try to give back.
Lott says he is hopeful about his own future, as well as the future of the city of Detroit. He tells NPR's Rachel Martin that he was proud just to make it through the training program that got him his job.
"This is the first time I really completed anything," he says. "And I enjoy coming to work everyday."
Lott says what's different now is that he doesn't have to look over his shoulder anymore, either for police or other criminals. He says it was a life full of stress.
Lott was dealing heroin and cocaine, but he says he was also his own best customer.
"I wasn't good at it because I'm not rich," he says.
Lott says he came from a good home, and his parents always worked hard to provide, but that he and his two brothers gravitated toward making money on the street. At one time, he says, they were making more money than their parents. Those two brothers died living that street life.
Now that he works for Reclaim Detroit, the first legitimate job he's ever had, working to help rebuild the city he's lived in his whole life, Lott says he's hopeful.
"In the next 10 years you won't really know Detroit; I really believe that," Lott says. "Once we get rid of all of this blight and educate these younger kids, I think it's going to change."

UPDATE: Bay City water use restrictions lifted
Michigan Radio | By Steve Carmody
UPDATE 3:50pm
Water use restrictions in Bay County have been lifted.
A major water main break in Bay City leaked nearly 20 million gallons of water since Saturday.
Bay City officials on Sunday imposed strict water use restrictions on more than 90,000 people in Bay County.
The source of the leak was found late Monday.
The water use restriction that was in place allowed the water treatment plant to restore its reserve to an acceptable and safe operating level.
Now that they have enough water, city officials have lifted the last of the restrictions.
Bay City officials have ended a local state of emergency created after a major water main break caused the loss of nearly 20 million gallons of water during the past few days.
But the city is still asking people to conserve water.
City crews finally found the source of the leak Monday afternoon. An old water main was leaking into a storm drain near the Saginaw River.
Since isolating the pipe from the rest of the water system, Bay City’s water reserves have been slowly climbing. But a non-essential water use ban is in effect. People are asked to not water their lawns, fill their pools or wash their cars at home.
The city is allowing businesses to once again use water.
The remaining water use restrictions on more than 90,000 Bay County residents will be lifted after Bay City’s water reserves are fully replenished.

Ministry Of Education Says Guided By The Ministry Of Heath, Remote Learning Will Continue
The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Development, Religious Affairs and Information is extending the suspension of face-toface learning, based on the guidance of the Ministry of Health.
Given the fluidity of the COVID-19 situation in Grenada, and the need to balance education and health, the Ministry says school will remain online until further notice.
While it is concerned that some students are currently unable to participate in online learning activities, it says this decision is in the best interest of all concerned.
The Ministry says it will continue to be guided by the advice of the Ministry of Health, regarding a possible date for the return of students to the physical classroom.
It commends all stakeholders for the invaluable role being played to support the continuation of teaching and learning, as we grapple with the challenges associated with the pandemic, and is heartened by the many reports of dedication, creativity and determination of teachers and principals.
The Ministry of Education also extends its sincerest condolences to principals, teachers and education officials who have recently lost loved ones to COVID-19.
It reminds all that vaccination offers protection against the deadly virus and can help prevent severe disease, hospitalisation and death.

Virginia Degen: From Princess of Pigs to World Ambassador
Since 1982, more than 500 German Schleswig-Holsteiners enjoyed Virginia Degen’s hospitality and friendship. First plans are on its way in inaugurate in memory of her transatlantic bridge building The Virginia Degen Lecture & Research Series in German-American Studies.
It’s difficult to imagine the tiny, delicate woman with the curly white hair and smiling eyes amidst a bunch of squealing and grunting pigs. But for decades, Virginia Degen was the mistress of more than two thousand pigs on the thriving hog farm she and her husband Leonard founded.
After Leonard died following a battle with Parkinson’s disease, Virginia’s son Rick took over the operation, and she moved to a senior citizens’ residence on Kiel Street. To the east of Kiel Street is a long, arrow-straight road called German Avenue. Although one might think these streets are to be found in Kiel, the capital of Germany’s northernmost state of Schleswig-Holstein, they’re located in a little Iowa town of fourteen hundred. As one approaches this small Midwestern town, he’s greeted with a sign emblazoned with large letters spelling out the German greeting Willkommen Freunde (Welcome Friends).
Thanks to Virginia Degen’s indefatigable efforts over the past three decades, about five hundred visitors from Schleswig-Holstein have come to know this tiny spot in America’s heartland. More importantly, because of this energetic and remarkable woman an intense transatlantic friendship between Holstein, Iowa, and Schleswig-Holstein has grown and prospered.
The seeds for this extraordinary friendship were sown in 1978 when Kiel students Joachim “Yogi” Reppmann and Dietrich “Dee” Eicke journeyed to America to research German immigration to the United States. The two young men had the bright idea of visiting American towns with German names. One of those towns was Holstein, Iowa, where they met Virginia Degen in 1982. The fifty-nine-year-old farmer’s wife and the two young Germans discovered their shared love of history and their mutual desire to better understand the Germanic roots of the small Midwestern town of Holstein.
Reppmann and Eicke had arrived in Holstein at a very propitious moment, as the small town was about to celebrate its centennial. Virginia was one of six members on a planning committee tasked with organizing the celebration. Largely due to her tireless efforts, a 517-page book was published, which chronicled the town’s history and contained biographical sketches of Holstein’s residents over the past century. While researching the book, the committee noticed that eighty percent of Holsteiners had German roots, with most having ancestors who’d hailed from northern Germany. One of those was Virginia Degen, whose mother’s maiden name was Wellendorf.
One of the primary inquiries in writing Holstein’s centennial history was how the town came by its name. A letter to the newspaper in New Holstein, Wisconsin, led to a startling discovery. Holstein, Iowa, had not been named in honor of the Duchy of Holstein in northern Germany — at least not directly. In 1882, Joachim Thode, the first mayor of Holstein, Iowa, had named the town after the place he grew up. That was the town of New Holstein, Wisconsin, which had been founded in 1848 by Forty-Eighters hailing from the Duchy of Holstein, north of Hamburg. Nevertheless, the town’s name always reflected the home across the Atlantic from whence its settlers had emigrated. In fact, before the initial tiny town was dubbed “Holstein,” it was known simply as the “German Settlement.”
Learning of the visit of the two young north Germans, a New Holstein reporter recommended they be invited as special guests to the Holstein centennial celebration. Virginia’s friends Sophie and Harlan Bauer (whose surname means “farmer” in German) invited the two young men to stay with them during their visit. During that visit, the Holsteiners treated Reppmann and Eicke like royalty, and the young history students indeed felt like German princes as they waved from the back of a big Cadillac convertible during the centennial parade festivities. Before they left to return to Germany, Yogi and Dee invited Virginia and all her fellow Holstein residents to visit them in Germany. Unbeknownst to the travelers and their gracious host, this invitation was the first pier in a transatlantic bridge that would carry the traffic of countless visits creating and then strengthening a deep German-American friendship spanning more than thirty years.
A few months after their return to Germany, the postman brought Reppmann and Eicke a letter from Iowa in which Virginia and her husband Leonard accepted their invitation. What’s more, the Degens informed the two students they would be accompanied by forty-two farmers, many of whom had reached their “golden years.” They not only hoped to see the landscape of Schleswig-Holstein, where their forefathers had trod, but also the great cities of Hamburg, Cologne, Heidelberg, Munich, and Salzburg. Reppmann and Eicke’s youthful exuberance quickly turned to panic. They were living in simple — perhaps squalid would be more accurate —student quarters with a shared toilet. How could these two humble college students possibly show their American visitors everything they wanted to see?
After the initial shock, the poor students hit upon a plan. They wrote to the mayors of all the cities the Holsteiners wanted to visit and asked for help. Amazingly, they got it! In Bonn, the then Federal Secretary of Finance Gerhard Stoltenberg even hosted an amazing reception for the Americans. Before that, the little group had spent a week in Schleswig-Holstein, where to everyone’s great surprise, hosts and guests were able to communicate about their farming experiences in Plattdeutsch, or Low German. This language, which was spoken on the countryside in northern Germany, had been used around the dinner table of the Americans by their German ancestors for many years. The discovery of this shared lingual bond was an indescribable joy to both the Germans and the Americans.
1983, Len Degen, Yogi Reppmann, and Virginia Degen – the tour group of 42 Holsteinites had been welcomed: the ladies with a red rose, and the men with a bottle of ‘Flensburg Beer.
Of course, on a trip like this, not everything goes a hundred percent smoothly. Visitor Sophie Bauer had her wallet stolen on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg’s famous red light district, and in Würzburg, the bus Reppmann and Eicke had leased cheaply in Kiel broke down. When the bus company in Würzburg advised the two young tour guides that a replacement would set them back 3500 Marks, the two students gulped, as they had nowhere near that kind of money. Sensing the boys’ distress, Virginia spoke with the other travelers. After learning of their guides’ plight, the Holsteiners passed the hat, and the trip continued without any ruffled feelings. It was all done very matter-of-factly, like going to the local farm implement store to buy a replacement part for a broken piece of farm machinery.
The German trip of those forty-four Holsteiners marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship that continues to this day. Virginia Degen’s home became the first stop for young German journalists and students visiting from Kiel, Flensburg, and Lübeck. They learned a lot more about life in the States than they ever would have in a hotel room. For decades, Schleswig-Holstein musicians, politicians, and even members of the German Parliament have made their way to the tiny town of Holstein and its one-woman welcome wagon, Virginia Degen. In turn, Virginia became a regular visitor to Schleswig-Holstein.
Thirty-one years after that remarkable centennial celebration, Virginia still enjoys greeting every German visitor from her senior residence. Self-taught, hard-working, and possessed of a remarkable vim and vigor, Virginia has achieved a good deal of worldly success without ever losing her humility, charm, and wit. Virginia Degen, once a “princess of the pigs,” had become a world citizen and a goodwill ambassador between two great nations.

Transformed: Parenting Your Gender Non-Conforming Child with Pride Blitz
Nonfiction / LGBTQ+ / Parenting / Self-Help
Publisher: Mamaste Books
In Transformed, Parenting Your Non-Conforming Child with Pride, Wendy Jones uses personal stories and clinical data to show you how to support your gender-diverse children, while taking care of yourself along the way.
“With love, compassion, support, and encouragement Wendy Jones candidly shares her experience as a mom of transgender youth. As an LCSW who counsels LGBTQ families, she offers a unique perspective that provides expertise and wisdom experienced by few. Additionally, Wendy weaves in first-person stories from other families which ultimately provides a pathway in a relatable and sensitive manner.”
-Jeanette Jennings, mother of Jazz Jennings and LGBTQIA+ rights advocate and spokesperson
As a gender therapist and mom to a transgender child, Wendy felt there was a strong need in the world to support parents of trans kids. She knew that her own journey was challenging at first, and finding support wasn't always an easy thing. As she's been working with transgender people and their parents over the past five years, she's come to find that the parents are oftentimes scared and feel alone in the process of accepting their child's gender identity.
As a gender therapist and mom to a transgender child, I felt there was a strong need in the world to support parents of trans kids.
I know that my own journey was challenging at first, and finding support wasn't always an easy thing. As I've been working with transgender people and their parents over the past five years, I've come to find that the parents are oftentimes scared and feel alone in the process of accepting their child's gender identity.
Due to the time constraints of therapy, I wanted to find a way to reach more parents with my own hard-earned strength and wisdom. Writing seemed to be just the right medium to accomplish this goal. Books were one of the main ways that our family got the necessary knowledge to start our gender journey eight years ago. However, there aren't many books out there that offer both lived/personal and clinical experiences.
I hope that my book can reach parents around the world that are in need of education, support, and encouragement. My overreaching goal is to help trans kids by helping their parents and to be a strong positive force in today's gender revolution.

Disclosure of Role - Agency by Larry Estabrooks, Licensed Independent Agent
I'm a REALTOR®, a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association and I subscribe to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. One requirement is that REALTORS® must fully disclose in writing whom they are representing when providing professional services.
Article 2: Disclosure of Role - Agency, A REALTOR® shall fully disclose in writing to, and is advised to seek written acknowledgement from, his or her Clients and those Customers who are not represented by other Registrants regarding the role and nature of the service the REALTOR® will be providing. This disclosure shall be made at the earliest possible opportunity and in any event prior to the REALTOR® providing professional services which go beyond providing information as a result of incidental contact by a consumer.
The difference between merely receiving information from an agent and being represented by an agent is the difference between a customer and a client.
A client (principal) is a person who has engaged or employed an agent to act as that person's agent. The agent and every employee of the agent owes the client the fiduciary duties of undivided loyalty, full disclosure, lawful obedience, confidentiality, accounting and reasonable care.
A buyer’s agent represents the buyer, often through a Buyer Agency Agreement. The Buyer is entitled to all the fiduciary duties which an agent owes to a client.
A seller’s agent represents the seller, often through a Listing Agreement with the seller or by cooperating as a sub-agent of the listing agent. The Seller is entitled to all the fiduciary duties which an agent owes to a client.
DUAL AGENCY (conflict of interest)Dual agency occurs when a real estate agency is representing both seller and buyer in the same transaction. Since the real estate agency promised confidentiality, full disclosure and loyalty to both client parties, the agency will have to limit their fiduciary duties in this situation, but only if both client parties provide informed consent in writing.
If you are asked to become involved in a double agency relationship, you have the right to say "No thanks" and assert your right to full representation and undivided loyalty.
Here is my disclosure of the role and of the nature of my service: I disclose that I represent buyer clients as well as seller clients in SINGLE AGENCY. As my client you have the right to my undivided loyalty in a real estate transaction therefore I will represent you in Single Agency as either a Buyer's Agent or a Seller's Agent. I have a NO DUAL AGENCY policy and I encourage you to say "no thanks" to the practice of DUAL AGENCY. You have the right to full representation and undivided loyalty through the entire process.
I / we, ___________________________, have read and understand this disclosure form and acknowledge that Larry Estabrooks, Agent & REALTOR®, disclosed the role and nature of the service Larry will be providing to me is Single Agency representation as Buyer's Agent [_] or Seller's Agent [_] check one box only !
I represent Buyers as well as Sellers and do not practice double agency.I'm licensed as an Agent, not as a salesperson employed by an Agent, so I am truly independent. I pledge undivided loyalty and full disclosure to all my principals, whether they are Buyers or Sellers. I take my work seriously and I thoroughly enjoy representing people in their residential and commercial real estate transactions.

Research re: Money Habitudes
Research on the intersection of emotions and finance
Elena Garrison, EdD
Research re: Money Habitudes pdf link
The brain is both the most researched and the least understood organ, yet everything we know, do and experience is a product of our brain. The shared interest of social and neural sciences in understanding human behavior has led to the emergence of the interdisciplinary field of neuroeconomics, the study of the biological foundations of economic behavior (Camerer, Loewenstein, & Prelec, 2005). The field combines research methods from neuroscience (e.g. neuroimaging, eye-tracking, etc.), experimental and behavioral economics, including its subfield, behavioral finance, and cognitive and social psychology. Among the theoretical and practical pursuits of neuroeconomic research is the attempt to identify and test the biological links between cognitive building blocks and economic behavior in order to predict behavior, measure drives and well-being, and design interventions that will lead to making better economic decisions and improving well-being (Camerer, et al., 2015). Without this research, we are limited to classical economic assumptions of human consistency and rationality that fail to explain internal contradictions and irrational behavior.
Risk, intertemporal choice, that is, decisions that involve tradeoffs between outcomes that occur at different points in time, self-regulation, social preferences, and strategic behavior are among the current topics of neuroeconomic research (Breiter, 2001; Camerer, et al., 2015; Konovalov & Krajbich, 2016). Functional MRI studies have already identified multiple neural mechanisms involved in valuation and decision-making. More complex studies of the interactions among neural mechanisms will shed additional light on the biologically complex patterns of decision making, including economic decision-making, self-regulation, and social preferences. For example, multiple brain activities that signal preferences for donating money or rejecting unfair offers are involved in the trade off between social rewards and economic self-interest.
The increasing complexity and therefore uncertainty and stress of life in the 21stcentury make research on decision-making under conditions of heightened uncertainty and risk of great significance. Risk is preferred to ambiguity. In addition to the uncertainty that is built into our physical and biological world, neuroeconomics takes into consideration the uncertainties of the social world, uncertainties that arise out of our limited ability to predict the behavior of others. While such uncertainty is a source of anxiety, both it and risk are important factors in value-based decisions. Gauging the risk of outcomes is often just as important as predicting how valuable they will be. Higher cognitive skills, for example, reduce loss aversion and risk sensitivity (Burks et al., 2009). Personality traits are powerful predictors of economic outcome when it comes to educational and occupational attainment and marital stability (Roberts et al, 2007).
In a stock market experiment, Nadler and others (2015) demonstrated the causal effects of testosterone, a chemical messenger especially influential in male physiology, on financial asset mispricing and resulting market bubbles. Such biological factors can exacerbate risky behavior, which could in turn impact multiple parties, even the whole marketplace when organized trading is involved. The authors suggest the need to consider hormonal influences on decision-making in professional settings and recommend “cool down” periods to interrupt exceptionally positive feedback cycles and a return to focusing on the fundamental valuation of assets.
Bach and Dolan (2012) investigated how uncertainty is encoded in the brain and how it influences behavior, determining that neural encoding of uncertainty is highly individualistic. Learning rate is a key variable that determines the capacity for dealing with changing circumstances (Behrens et al, 2007). According to Rustichini (2008), higher cognitive skills affect the economic lives of individuals by enabling them to systematically change their preferences and choices in a way that favors economic success.
According to a research review by Konovalov and Krajbichthe (2016), nueroeconomics has contributed to our understanding of how the brain learns the value/utility of actions and options in its environment. Neurobiological data is now used to create models to predict people’s choices that are the result of the output of a dynamic comparison process in our brains and to detect when individuals or groups are likely to exhibit economically problematic behavior.
While the effects of exercise or lack thereof on our bodies is generally well understood, until recently only an academic elite understood the impact of the brain activities that guide our behavior. New popular publications in neuroeconomics (Zweig, 2007; Cross, 2017) and behavioral economics (Ariely, 2017; Thaler, 2015) however, have brought the discussion of brain science into everyone’s home.
Thanks to progress in neuroscience, the study of economics now benefits from understanding the brain activities involved in decision-making (Glimcher & Fehr, 2014; Phillips, Kim, & Lee, D., 2012). Understanding what generates individual differences can lead to a better understanding of the underlying processes of decision-making. While studies of the neural basis of personality traits continue to enrich our understanding of such differences, there is still little agreement on what the complete theory of human decision-making should be (Rustichini, 2009; Nadler et al., 2015).
Money, Mind and Body
Psychologists have begun to approach the question of money and its impact on brain activity and behavior by observing the biological and psychological processes triggered by money that shape experience and behavior. Theories of money as a biological motivator and as a cultural object provided the foundation for their research (Bijleveld, Aarts, & Henk, 2014). According to neuroeconomists (Zweig, 2007), “…a monetary loss or gain is not just a financial or psychological outcome, but a biological change that has profound physical effects on the brain and body.” Financial losses are processed in the same areas of the brain that respond to mortal danger, while the neural activity of someone experiencing financial gains is indistinguishable from that of someone who is high on cocaine.
More recently, the American Psychological Association published Stress in America: Paying With Our Health in 2015,a report which found that regardless of the economic climate, money has consistently topped Americans’ list of stressors, above work, family responsibilities and health. “Nearly three quarters (72 percent) of adults report feeling stressed about money at least some of the time” and “more than one-quarter of adults (26 percent) report feeling stressed about money most or all of the time”. Adults in lower-income households were also found to be twice as likely as those in higher-income households to say they feel stress about money all or most of the time (36 percent vs. 18 percent). Additionally, the APA noted that the impact of stress over money appears to be worse among Millennials and Gen Xers as well as the parents of children under the age of 18. Women are also noted to have more difficulty coping with financial stress than men. Both financial insecurity and the resulting stress feed upon one another to create a downward spiral, with regard to both finances and health. Financial insecurity causes stress. Stress worsens health. Poor health adds to financial insecurity, which in turn causes more stress . . .
Report findings also show that Americans who say they have emotional support, someone they can talk to about financial stress, report lower stress levels than those without such support. However, finding support can be challenging. “One in five Americans (21 percent) say they have no one to rely on for emotional support. A similar percentage of Americans (18 percent) say money is a taboo subject in their family and more than one-third (36 percent) say that talking about money makes them uncomfortable” (APA, 2015).
Money can also affect social relationships in both positive and negative ways. The underpinnings of some financial decisions are more complex than just a simple quest for gain; hope, pride and status are also involved. Money provides strong extrinsic motivation but can also negate other motivational factors and make individuals more self-centered. It may also hinder the ability to understand the thoughts, intentions, and emotions of others and thus complicate interpersonal relationships (Ridlinger, McBride, 2015). Erich Kirchler and Eva Hofmann (2006) stress that differences among family members with regard to spending habits, attitudes about debt, charitable giving and the like impact the dynamics and outcomes of spousal disagreements about expenditures and savings in the family.
Money can be a source of distress and financial disorder; it can also be a source of happiness when used appropriately or in a meaningful way to help others. Thus, the emergence of financial therapy is a natural outcome in the pursuit of helping people to deal with money-related issues.
Financial therapy
Financial therapy, a 21stCentury development, combines financial and emotional literacy under one roof. Its focus is the evaluation and treatment of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and economic aspects of financial health. (Brit, Klontz, & Archuleta, 2015) Financial behavior tends to be more emotional than rational for most people. Consequently, while professionals in the field focus on helping with personal financial planning, cash flow and debt management for example, they also counsel clients to manage their emotions and avoid interpersonal conflicts when presented with financial choices. Financial therapy integrates both personal and interpersonal aspects of financial well-being. Therapists group intrapersonal money scripts, or childhood beliefs about money, into four categories: money worship, money status, money vigilance and money avoidance (Lawson, Klontz, & Brit, 2015). Money worship is the belief that money and purchasing power determine happiness. The money status group encompasses people who equate self-worth with net-worth. They sacrifice self-actualization and happiness to consumerism. Their more conservative money vigilance counterparts are at the opposite extreme. They vigilantly control their spending, live frugally and avoid even those expenses that could make life more pleasant. Although the complete avoidance of talking about or dealing with financial issues is associated with heightened emotional distress followed by conflict, he final group rejects the very idea of money altogether. (Novak, Johnson, 2017).
Unrecognized, money scripts can lead to money disorders. Identification of dysfunctional money scripts and behaviors, including such money disorders as compulsive buying, hoarding, and workaholism (Canale, Archuleta, & Klontz, 2015), is a long process of self-awareness. But because discussing the problems we have with money is difficult for so many of us self-awareness can be difficult to achieve without a structured social situation or a prompt (such as Money Habitudes) to broach the subject.
Emotionally driven as we are, researchers recommend a balance between emotion and reason is needed to arrive at better financial decisions. Money, while it is often a major stressor, can also relieve stress when it is used correctly. Money canbuy happiness, but only when spending matches a buyer’s personality (Matz, Gladstone & Stillwell, 2016). We can also infer that when spending mismatches one’s personality internal dissatisfaction and/or external conflict may result. Research shows that people often fail to predict what will make them happy and overestimate the affective outcomes of their consumption decisions (Wilson & Gilbert, 2005).
No two brains work the same. By focusing on individuals rather than groups, Money Habitudesprovides an opportunity for self-discovery through communication by better understanding underlying spending habits and their effects. Personality matched spending may also help people avoid compulsive purchases, especially when discretionary spending is restricted, by encouraging the habit of self-reflection and an awareness of one’s needs.
The desire to understand the effects of money and our financial decisions on our well-being unites neuroeconomics and financial therapy. The former seeks to design universal interventions that will lead to making better economic decisions and improving overall well-being; the latter seeks to treat individuals in order to achieve a greater degree of personal happiness through self-knowledge and self-control. As profound as money-related biological changes in the brain and body are, researchers stress that expectingboth good and bad events is often more intense than experiencing them (Zweig, 2007). Happiness can be fleeting, but knowing oneself and practicing self-control can increase the likelihood of achieving it.

DuplicateGangstar Rio: City of Saints
Duplicate Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is an Adventure, Simulation, Open-World, Exploration, and Single-player video game developed by Gameloft. Unlike the GTA-styled game, the player takes on the role of an unnamed protagonist who can roam freely around the city streets and can perform any desired action. While navigating around, the player sees the environment from the third-person perspective.
The game has a series of weapons that a player can use to either complete missions or shoot policemen. Along the way, the player finds a range of vehicles and bikes to ride and cover large distances in no time. NPC conversation is also possible via ore-defined dialogues. Moreover, the player earns in-game currency by doing illegal tasks that he can use to purchase new equipment or weaponry. The controls are pretty simple, where using a joystick on the left side, the player can move the character, and some action buttons on the right side offer him to perform other activities.

Bad Bosses
My Micromanaging Boss Timed My Visits to the Restroom
I looked right dead into his eyes and said, “Would you like me to type up an agenda of what I did in there?”
Anonymous as Told to Noah LanardSeptember 14, 2021
The person in this story, who asked to remain anonymous, studied opera at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Several years after graduating, she wasn’t making enough money singing to support her family. So she took a part-time job at a boutique tax firm outside New York City.
In 1994, when I was about 34, I was doing an administrative assistant job three days a week outside New York. My boss was a tax attorney and CPA. He was very wealthy, just judging from his house. To own a house in that area, you have to have some money, but he had a very big house. He drove sports cars. The whole bit.
The clients were all extraordinarily wealthy people. He had a kind of specialty of dealing with people who had equine ranches. He specialized in getting wealthy people who intentionally went into the business of raising horses to lose a bunch of money so they could get all the farm write-offs. It was a tax shelter for them. I think almost all his clients had either foundations of some kind or horse ranching.
He seemed cordial and gregarious at first. It took two to three weeks to realize I was going to have problems with him. The first clue was that he’d stand over me when I worked. He would ask me irrelevant questions like, “Why is your Num Lock key on?” He would stay for quite a while.
Because this was 1994, we were trying to transition to Windows. He was frustrated with Windows and he would stand over my desk and watch me try to figure it out. He would stay for 10 to 15 minutes, but that’s an eternity when you’re trying to figure something out. He would come by three or four times a day at least.
He had a shelf specifically for packages that were coming in and out. I would place the packages on it, but he kept moving them to the floor. I actually saw him do it once. I was like, “Oh, you don’t want those on the shelf?” He said, it’s not convenient, or something along those lines.
One day, I was in his office, and he asked me to come around to his side of the desk to see something he was looking at. I looked up and I could clearly see my desk in the reflection of the print above where the shelf packages were supposed to be. His desk was in the exact same position as mine but in a separate office. When he would leave the French doors open, he could see into that print and it would reflect to me. I got a cold chill. I didn’t perceive this as a sexual thing. It was more of a control issue, that he wanted to know what I was doing every second of every day by watching me.
I kept thinking, wait, don’t you have something better to do? But he was afraid that someone in his employ was going to waste a microsecond of his paid time. I was the only one he could see all the time because of the way the office was set up.
The way he handled his displeasure was more disturbing than just asking me not to do something. My husband and I needed to communicate during the day. We had a 2-year-old in day care. If I was talking to my husband, he would come into the secretary’s area, which is where I sat, and he’d just stand right by the door. He wanted you to know he was eavesdropping.
I knew after a few weeks that I needed to leave. But my son was 2 and I was trapped financially. My husband and I had just bought a house in Putnam County and we couldn’t afford for me not to have an office job, even though I was also performing operas.
So I’d use the restroom to get away because that was the only place I could go where he couldn’t see me and where I felt like I had just a minute to breathe. One day, when things were really coming to a head, he asked me point-blank what took me so long in the bathroom. He actually was timing me in the restroom.
I just looked right dead into his eyes, and I actually used these words: “Would you like me to type up an agenda of what I did in there?” He had no answer. There’s no taking that back. Our relationship at work was not working. So I moved on.
I already had a position lined up. I told him I would not be back. I didn’t give him notice because I knew he would make my life a living hell, and he probably wouldn’t have let me stay. I just told him, “I’m not going to be back on Monday. Here’s the key.” I smiled at him and said, “I don’t think either one of us is happy with this arrangement.”
He seemed stunned by that. He said, “Happy?”
I said, “Yes. You remember happy?”

Here's what we learned from Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary
Published December 8, 2022 at 3:00 PM MST
Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle, announcing their engagement on November 27, 2017 in London, England.
Those expecting a juicy, revelatory tell-all about the royal family from Netflix's new docuseries Harry & Meghan, may be disappointed.
The first three episodes — focused on the romance, engagement and marriage of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry — treads carefully around criticisms of specific royals or individual actions. Instead, the opening installments of the series offer their personal story: an American actress from the TV show Suits meets the youngest son of Princess Diana in 2016 and forges an improbable, groundbreaking relationship.
There is, however, more generalized criticism here: In particular, over allegations the royal family failed to help Meghan learn the protocols of royal life and failed to intercede as she endured a torrent of racist stories in the press, because of her biracial heritage.
One tabloid headline, the series notes, proclaimed she was "straight out of Compton," a predominantly Black neighborhood in Los Angeles, though she had never lived there. Another said Harry had "gone gangster" by dating her. Harry felt his family shrugged off the impact of such stories too readily, affected by unconscious bias.
Calling out unconscious bias of the royals
For some of his relatives, Harry says, the bruising press coverage "was almost like a rite of passage. [They said] 'My wife had to go through that, so why should your girlfriend be treated any differently? Why should you get special treatment? Why should she be protected?'...I said, 'The difference here is the race element.'"
Later, in the third episode, Harry talks specifically about his own unconscious bias, admitting a 2005 scandal where he wore a Nazi soldier's uniform to a costume party was "one of the biggest mistakes of my life." But the docuseries handles such moments with a light touch, covering narrative ground at such a relentless pace, that it barely has time to explain before the story moves on.
If anything, the media itself gets the most sustained and direct criticism throughout the docuseries — particularly the gossip-focused tabloid press and especially the British tabloids. This is to be expected, given that Harry's mother died in a car crash while fleeing from paparazzi photographers.
Bruising tabloid press coverage exposed
The show seems aimed at an American — or at least non-British audience — explaining many things Britons may already know. This includes details on how the press covers the royals in England — including the pool of outlets focused on the family, called the "royal rota." Harry & Meghan describes essentially a devil's bargain the monarchy has made with the British tabloid press — identified as toxic arbiters of public opinion. Forced into performing for story-hungry tabloids, the royal family needs favorable coverage to maintain its high public approval ratings.
But such attention comes at a price: intrusion into their lives. We see Harry talking about how harsh coverage intensified after his mother separated from then-Prince Charles. Meghan says her neighbors were paid to put streaming cameras in her backyard after news broke that she was dating Harry.
As the docuseries progresses, we see the couple transformed from young lovers sneaking moments together under the nose of the world's press, to a more cautious pair who wind up hiring a security firm to plan how they move about, trained in special driving techniques to shake off pursuing photographers. Meghan is discouraged from smiling at or speaking cheerfully to the paparazzi for fear she would be portrayed as enjoying the attention.
One of her Suits co-stars revealed he was offered $70,000 to say he slept with her. An older half-sister she barely knew was quoted by media outlets saying disparaging things and threatening to write a tell-all book (that half-sister, Samantha Markle, did not appear on camera, but gave a statement to the show saying she had been misquoted by press in the past).
And days before the worldwide event of her wedding to Harry, Meghan saw reporting which alleged her father took money from media outlets to pose for photos. According to the docuseries, he cut off contact with her after the arrangement was revealed publicly, creating a huge scandal.
Their story, told from their point of view
All these events are presented from Harry and Meghan's perspective — featured in a docuseries created through their massive, multi-year deal with Netflix — bolstered by sources who seem largely friendly to the couple with lots of personal footage, including video diaries. There are no members of the royal family interviewed for the docuseries, though there is disagreement over whether Buckingham Palace was aware that producers were trying to reach them.
So, even as the docuseries offers an unprecedented look inside the story of a woman who married into the British royal family, it is undoubtedly framed from the couple's perspective — made with little sense of how a more objective source might view their information.
Still, it is a potent presentation. Particularly in another area where the docuseries delves deeply: race.
Tough truths about race
Harry & Meghan also spends a lot of time detailing how race works in Britain – outlining how conflicts over immigration issues have become a proxy for race in the country, how the country avoids talking about its past participation in the slave trade, how a lack of diversity in the tabloid press can contribute to stories rooted in prejudice and how racism often bubbles just beneath the surface in many interactions for people of color.
"One of the realities of life in Britain, is if you walk into a palace or a stately home, or any place that represents tradition, you are likely to be faced with racist imagery," says Afua Hirsch, an author who is a woman of color. She appears briefly in the show commenting about a member of the royal family who attended a lunch with Meghan while wearing a piece of racist jewelry called a "blackamoor brooch."
Another moment in the show features Black British people reacting with amazement and positivity over the possibility of a non-white woman joining the royal family. "Who dreamed that Britain would have a Black princess?" says David Olusoga, historian and author of the book, Black and British. "Could this be a moment in which, in essence, the royal family caught up with the rest of Britain?"
These notions, as laid out in Harry & Meghan, aren't particularly extreme or surprising. But they are already being met with sensationalism by some media outlets. One headline asserted that Markle called their engagement an "orchestrated reality show" (she was referring to the public announcement of it, including a BBC interview). Another in the Daily Mail reacted with alarm over the discussion of racism in British society.
Such excesses mostly prove the validity of the media criticism in Harry & Meghan, which presents a largely measured portrait of a young couple trying to navigate the outlandish pressures which have come from their connection to one of the most famous families on the planet.
With three more episodes due to drop Dec. 15 — expected to detail their wedding and decision to step back from royal duties — there is also likely more fodder to come for outlets determined to make the most sensational story out of their uniquely turbulent journey. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13212 | {"url":

Fever Ray's 'Radical Romantics' explores love in all of its freaky, complicated forms

In their work as Fever Ray, artist Karin Dreijer has used eerie, experimental pop music to excavate love's more complicated or marginalized incarnations.
"An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word 'love,' " the feminist poet Adrienne Rich once wrote, "is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other." Are those the words you'd use to describe romance: delicate, violent, terrifying? Perhaps not. In the face of a more traditional, or more culturally consumable, conception of romance — a candlelit dinner on Feb. 14, a classic boy-meets-girl rom-com, a dozen roses, butterflies in your stomach — Rich's vision might feel downright radical, a sharp and urgent reminder of the power of a different approach: one that's more nuanced, more deliberate and perhaps ultimately more rewarding.
In their work as Fever Ray, artist Karin Dreijer has long been finely attuned to Rich's definition of love, using their eerie, experimental pop music to excavate its more complicated or marginalized incarnations. Fever Ray's icy, alluring self-titled debut was created in the isolating haze of new parenthood; the follow-up, 2017's magnificent Plunge, is a thrilling and righteous exploration of queer eroticism. Radical Romantics, Fever Ray's new record, looks at love even more broadly: romantic connection, sexual desire, the making of family, the fostering of community, the rewards of commitment. It is interested in love not as a destination but, as Rich would put it, an ongoing process, and gives a glimpse into the many approaches — bravado and vulnerability, experimentation and hesitation, violence and delicacy — that process requires.
What might make romance radical? For starters, Fever Ray's world feels largely unrestricted by the norms of gender. Dreijer's shape-shifting vocals have been a staple of their music since their time as one-half of The Knife, the subversive and now defunct pop duo they formed with their brother Olof. This practice of pitch-shifting and vocal processing allows them to perform femininity, masculinity, androgyny — sometimes all in the same song, sometimes all at once. "Music works for me as a totally open space," they told Pitchfork recently. "I do not have to think about gender so much, which is amazing, because in real life, you have to think about it all the time."
That sense of queer freedom is everywhere on Radical Romantics — in the delightfully ungendered pet names ("smoothie," "bird seed") on "Looking For A Ghost"; the sapphic eroticism of "Shiver"; the depth of their delivery on "Tapping Fingers" or the girlish helium voice on "Carbon Dioxide." It's perhaps most striking in the androgynous characters Dreijer portrays in their music videos — as in "Kandy," where they play both roles in a freaky, sensual encounter: both the bored, suit-wearing office drone in a club's dimly lit room and the grotesque, glitter-speckled, balding singer who libidinously performs for them, eventually tying them to the chair with a mic cable and earning a smile. As in much of Dreijer's works, there are no obvious gender roles or puritanical sexual norms to be found in the video, and Dreijer's obfuscation of these classic romantic tropes makes the aching, thirsty emotional core of the work even clearer.
Where Plunge playfully clanged and thrilled and fantasized — an urgent, intense, often frenetically paced record — the heartbeat of Radical Romantics is somewhat slower, its mood more pensive. Dreijer tapped a number of co-producers for the record, including their brother Olof, who imbues tracks like "What They Call Us" and "Shiver" with many of the startling, squiggling synths and syncopated beats that have become a hallmark of their collaborations. "Looking For A Ghost" is propulsive, thanks to Portuguese batida DJ and producer Nídia, yet still inquisitive. And there's a haunted quality to tracks like "North," where production from Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross add industrial grit and crunch, and "Tapping Fingers," where washes of synth, courtesy of Swedish production duo Aasthma, advance and retreat under Dreijer's forlorn voice.
The more reflective tone and pacing fits the record's lyrical perspective, where romance is never presented as a given or a sure thing — another trope Dreijer gently admonishes. Instead, they demonstrate the care and resolve that goes into maintaining these forms of love: the decisions, the needs, the boundaries, the mistakes, the courage. The first line of Radical Romantics is an apology — "First I'd like to say that I'm sorry" — on a song that ultimately turns into a declaration of vulnerability: "The person who came here was broken." Elsewhere on the record, there are sensitive questions — "Can I trust you?"; "Is this feeling true?" — and sincere requests: "Be nice to me"; "Be still and patient"; "Let me know." And when Dreijer does sing candidly about desire, otherwise straightforwardly sensual lyrics can land with a twist, on another plane entirely from romantic cliché. A line like, "She laid me down and whispered / all girls want kandy," in Dreijer's unsettlingly measured delivery, feels miles away from a bubblegum pop hit; when they whisper-sing, "In the whole wide world / there's no place I'd rather be / than with you" in their lower register, it sounds not like an escapist fantasy but like the result of careful, mature consideration.
That's not to say there aren't moments of intensity on Radical Romantics, too. On "Even It Out," Dreijer fantasizes about getting revenge on their kid's high school bully: "There's no room for you / and we know where you live," Dreijer sings, "one day we might come after you / taking back what's ours." (It reminds me of a scene from the film Tár, where Cate Blanchett, as the title character, seeks out her child's bully on the playground. "If you ever do it again," she warns the young perpetrator in a frank, cool tone, "I'll get you.") Dreijer had originally called out the bully by their actual name in the song, but changed it after a friend said it was disturbing to hear an adult threatening a child. Still, in its own way, could that be radical love, too — transgressing a taboo out of loyalty or the desire to protect? ("Violent, often terrifying," as Rich wrote, indeed.) Elsewhere, on the hedonistic headrush of "Carbon Dioxide," production by the British experimental artist and producer Vessel makes the song feel urgent and arena-sized, with bright synths that ping-pong around Dreijer's many voices.
Overall, if Dreijer shows love to be the result of anything on Radical Romantics, it's the hard work of patience. Dreijer has described much of the album as being about the "radical acceptance of what you need to feel safe and loved." That acceptance, they say, "brings you a stillness, but it also brings you a sadness": It means recognizing what doesn't work for you and being able to say no. The album ends in that place: with a seven-minute composition, originally written more than a decade ago for an Ingmar Bergman play, that feels, at times, both stirring and meditative. The song unfurls with gentle swells and wordless vocalizing and comes to feel like a resting place. It is slightly sad — a fitting place to say goodbye to the things that love is not. After nine tracks of asking, wanting, waiting, pushing, finding, searching, enjoying, it is fitting that Radical Romantics ends with a song of stillness, and a model of the radical acceptance that might be found there. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13213 | {"url": "https://www.mtpr.org/2023-03-10/fever-rays-radical-romantics-explores-love-in-all-of-its-freaky-complicated-forms", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.mtpr.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:24:47Z", "digest": "sha1:B34FX4EZBZNEWZ7Y6Y7HX2RKRJDUJ2P7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 7772, 7772.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 7772, 11306.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 7772, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 7772, 262.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 7772, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 7772, 324.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 7772, 2.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 7772, 0.38715711]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 7772, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 7772, 0.01358784]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 7772, 0.03817535]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 7772, 0.02491103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 7772, 0.01358784]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 7772, 0.01358784]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 7772, 0.01358784]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 7772, 0.02070527]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 7772, 0.00873504]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 7772, 0.00420576]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 7772, 0.0074813]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 7772, 0.19139651]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 7772, 0.47049567]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 7772, 4.8638867]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 7772, 5.71628189]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 7772, 1271.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 86, 0.0], [86, 105, 0.0], [105, 145, 0.0], [145, 160, 0.0], [160, 314, 1.0], [314, 1089, 1.0], [1089, 1937, 1.0], [1937, 2610, 0.0], [2610, 3548, 1.0], [3548, 4410, 1.0], [4410, 5673, 1.0], [5673, 6790, 1.0], [6790, 7772, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 86, 0.0], [86, 105, 0.0], [105, 145, 0.0], [145, 160, 0.0], [160, 314, 0.0], [314, 1089, 0.0], [1089, 1937, 0.0], [1937, 2610, 0.0], [2610, 3548, 0.0], [3548, 4410, 0.0], [4410, 5673, 0.0], [5673, 6790, 0.0], [6790, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 86, 13.0], [86, 105, 3.0], [105, 145, 8.0], [145, 160, 2.0], [160, 314, 23.0], [314, 1089, 125.0], [1089, 1937, 130.0], [1937, 2610, 113.0], [2610, 3548, 152.0], [3548, 4410, 132.0], [4410, 5673, 209.0], [5673, 6790, 190.0], [6790, 7772, 171.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 86, 0.0], [86, 105, 0.0], [105, 145, 0.24324324], [145, 160, 0.0], [160, 314, 0.0], [314, 1089, 0.00271003], [1089, 1937, 0.00488998], [1937, 2610, 0.0], [2610, 3548, 0.0], [3548, 4410, 0.0], [4410, 5673, 0.0], [5673, 6790, 0.0], [6790, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 86, 0.0], [86, 105, 0.0], [105, 145, 0.0], [145, 160, 0.0], [160, 314, 0.0], [314, 1089, 0.0], [1089, 1937, 0.0], [1937, 2610, 0.0], [2610, 3548, 0.0], [3548, 4410, 0.0], [4410, 5673, 0.0], [5673, 6790, 0.0], [6790, 7772, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 86, 0.04651163], [86, 105, 0.15789474], [105, 145, 0.175], [145, 160, 0.13333333], [160, 314, 0.03246753], [314, 1089, 0.01032258], [1089, 1937, 0.01768868], [1937, 2610, 0.01783061], [2610, 3548, 0.01918977], [3548, 4410, 0.03828306], [4410, 5673, 0.01900238], [5673, 6790, 0.02327663], [6790, 7772, 0.01527495]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 7772, 0.87296265]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 7772, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 7772, 0.97995025]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 7772, 60.98513019]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 7772, 111.91324559]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 7772, -115.89303621]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 7772, 46.0]]} |
Caring professions such as teaching can have an emotional toll, leading to high stress levels and career burnout. But tools to develop resilience and healthy engagement strategies are now only a click away.
Although teaching can be a highly rewarding career, teachers experience multiple and complex challenges in a profession that has seen work intensification, increased accountability and calls for improvements in teacher quality. Teacher stress and burnout have become of increasing concern, but in contrast, teacher resilience has been associated with positive outcomes such as teacher quality, enthusiasm and commitment, along with positive outcomes for students.
Associate Professor Caroline Mansfield, in Murdoch’s School of Education, has conducted research focused on teacher resilience and the strategies that enable teachers to maintain engagement, commitment and motivation throughout their career. Her work has underpinned the development of the BRiTE program, an online resource for pre-service and practicing teachers.
The program helps users build their awareness of the skills and practices that will facilitate resilience in their teaching career. The program contains five online interactive personalised learning modules addressing Building resilience, Relationships, Wellbeing, Taking initiative, and Emotions. Throughout each module participants can take quizzes, learn skills and strategies, view videos, apply skills to realistic situations, learn from experts and build their own personal resilience toolkit.
The online learning module design for BRiTE was informed by Mansfield’s extensive research and 15 years of collaborative research evidence, and developed through extensive consultation with stakeholder groups, including pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and resilience experts. The online approach was deliberately chosen to enable flexibility for users, provide opportunity for reflection on personal growth over time and to reach a wider audience.
BRiTE is a freely available resource. Most BRiTE users are pre-service and practicing teachers, teacher educators, and major employers of early career teachers such as the WA Department of Education. Its uptake has been endorsed nationally by the Australian Institute of Teaching and School Leadership, who have adopted aspects of the BRiTE modules in their Induction app for early career teachers. The work of Mansfield’s National Fellowship, Staying BRiTE, has since developed a collaborative network of teacher educators, embedding the resource into teacher education programs at five partner universities across Australia and building an international network of users.
Since the website’s launch in 2014, it has attracted over 31,000 individual visitors, from 148 countries, although the majority of visitors are Australian. Over 7,000 users have created personal accounts, and over 2,000 users have completed the entire suite of modules. Feedback about BRiTE suggests that the module design may also be beneficial beyond the teaching profession, in other caring professions such as nursing and veterinary medicine where similar challenges may be experienced.

Music is the art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. It is one of the universal cultural aspects of all human societies. General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "(art) of the Muses"); see § Etymology and glossary of musical terminology.
Music can be divided into genres (e.g., country music) and genres can be further divided into subgenres (e.g., country blues and pop country are two of the many country subgenres), although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. For example, it can be hard to draw the line between some early 1980s hard rock and heavy metal. Within the arts, music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art or as an auditory art. Music may be played or sung and heard live at a rock concert or orchestra performance, heard live as part of a dramatic work (a music theater show or opera), or it may be recorded and listened to on a radio, MP3 player, CD player, smartphone or as film score or TV show. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13215 | {"url": "https://www.muzicfanatic.com/video/477441992/club-tropicana-wham", "partition":

Definition: The accounting rate of return (ARR), also called the simple or average rate of return, is an investment formula used to measure the annual earnings or profit an investment is expected to make. In other words, it calculates how much money or return you as an investor will make on your investment.
What Does Accounting Rate of Return Mean?
What is the definition of accounting rate of return? ARR is an important calculation because it helps investors analyze the risk involved in making an investment and decided whether the earnings are high enough to accept the risk level.
This Most people and companies have some types of investments. Whether the investments are short-term CDs or long-term retirement plans, investments play a big role in Americans’ lives. The only way to tell whether an investment is worthwhile or not is to measure the return or amount of money the investment has made and is expected to make in the future. To do this we must know how to calculate the accounting rate of return.
The accounting rate of return formula is calculated by dividing the income from your investment by the cost of the investment. Usually both of these numbers are either annual numbers or an average of annual numbers. You can also use monthly or even weekly numbers. The time length doesn’t matter.
Let’s take a look at an example.
Let’s assume that you invested $100 into your racecar. After making the investment, you won $18,000 in prizes. Your ARR would be:
Obviously, this is a huge return and a racecar isn’t your typical investment. This great return might have had more to do with your driving abilities than the actual investment, but the principle is the same. I would still tell you to keep putting money into your racecar with returns like this.
Define Accounting Rate of Return: ARR means the percentage income that an investment will make over a period of time calculated by dividing the investment income by the investment cost. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13216 | {"url": "https://www.myaccountingcourse.com/accounting-dictionary/accounting-rate-of-return", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.myaccountingcourse.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:14:31Z", "digest": "sha1:3RL4MD64DRA36PZHZHDQNHTD4UZBI44Z"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2079, 2079.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2079, 3383.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2079, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2079, 102.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2079, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2079, 237.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2079, 0.42892157]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2079, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2079, 0.13801309]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2079, 0.05710886]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2079, 0.04045211]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2079, 0.04045211]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2079, 0.03212374]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2079, 0.06424747]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2079, 0.10469958]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2079, 0.01715686]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2079, 0.12254902]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2079, 0.44382022]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2079, 4.72191011]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2079, 4.54217715]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2079, 356.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 45, 1.0], [45, 121, 1.0], [121, 430, 1.0], [430, 472, 1.0], [472, 709, 1.0], [709, 1138, 1.0], [1138, 1435, 1.0], [1435, 1468, 1.0], [1468, 1598, 0.0], [1598, 1894, 1.0], [1894, 2079, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 121, 0.0], [121, 430, 0.0], [430, 472, 0.0], [472, 709, 0.0], [709, 1138, 0.0], [1138, 1435, 0.0], [1435, 1468, 0.0], [1468, 1598, 0.0], [1598, 1894, 0.0], [1894, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 45, 8.0], [45, 121, 13.0], [121, 430, 53.0], [430, 472, 7.0], [472, 709, 39.0], [709, 1138, 75.0], [1138, 1435, 50.0], [1435, 1468, 7.0], [1468, 1598, 22.0], [1598, 1894, 52.0], [1894, 2079, 30.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 121, 0.0], [121, 430, 0.0], [430, 472, 0.0], [472, 709, 0.0], [709, 1138, 0.0], [1138, 1435, 0.0], [1435, 1468, 0.0], [1468, 1598, 0.06557377], [1598, 1894, 0.0], [1894, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 121, 0.0], [121, 430, 0.0], [430, 472, 0.0], [472, 709, 0.0], [709, 1138, 0.0], [1138, 1435, 0.0], [1435, 1468, 0.0], [1468, 1598, 0.0], [1598, 1894, 0.0], [1894, 2079, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.15555556], [45, 121, 0.13157895], [121, 430, 0.01941748], [430, 472, 0.14285714], [472, 709, 0.01687764], [709, 1138, 0.01864802], [1138, 1435, 0.01346801], [1435, 1468, 0.03030303], [1468, 1598, 0.04615385], [1598, 1894, 0.01013514], [1894, 2079, 0.03783784]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2079, 0.10594356]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2079, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2079, 0.10283226]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2079, -102.43697473]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2079, 19.11031786]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2079, -96.35120522]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2079, 22.0]]} |

Fire at Historic Bastion in Nanaimo
By Kyle Christensen
Wednesday, Jul. 15th, 2020
The historic Bastion on Front Street in Nanaimo. Photo supplied by Google Maps.
Nanaimo’s Bastion is the last remaining wooden Hudson’s Bay bastion in North America and RCMP is looking for those responsible for setting it ablaze.
The historic landmark sustained damage from a fire that, following an investigation, was deemed to have started in the stairwell at the lower door.
The fire spread to the door and frame before a good samaritan stopped and put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher.
Two people were seen at the fire at the time of the incident and while no one was in the historic landmark at the time of the fire, it contains objects that have significant historical value.
If you have any information about who started this fire, call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13217 | {"url": "https://www.mycowichanvalleynow.com/59664/news/fire-at-historic-bastion-in-nanaimo/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.mycowichanvalleynow.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:56:18Z", "digest": "sha1:2IY4GJTPFIHNVCU7NCFMZYOMOWV3EEUX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 929, 929.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 929, 3542.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 929, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 929, 138.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 929, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 929, 312.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 929, 0.41666667]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 929, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 929, 0.10568032]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 929, 0.02642008]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 929, 0.04491413]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 929, 0.05019815]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 929, 0.01111111]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 929, 0.12777778]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 929, 0.6025641]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 929, 4.8525641]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 929, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 929, 4.21387981]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 929, 156.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 80, 0.0], [80, 100, 0.0], [100, 127, 0.0], [127, 207, 1.0], [207, 357, 1.0], [357, 505, 1.0], [505, 623, 1.0], [623, 815, 1.0], [815, 929, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 80, 0.0], [80, 100, 0.0], [100, 127, 0.0], [127, 207, 0.0], [207, 357, 0.0], [357, 505, 0.0], [505, 623, 0.0], [623, 815, 0.0], [815, 929, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 44, 6.0], [44, 80, 6.0], [80, 100, 3.0], [100, 127, 4.0], [127, 207, 13.0], [207, 357, 24.0], [357, 505, 24.0], [505, 623, 22.0], [623, 815, 36.0], [815, 929, 18.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 80, 0.0], [80, 100, 0.0], [100, 127, 0.26086957], [127, 207, 0.0], [207, 357, 0.0], [357, 505, 0.0], [505, 623, 0.0], [623, 815, 0.0], [815, 929, 0.09174312]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 80, 0.0], [80, 100, 0.0], [100, 127, 0.0], [127, 207, 0.0], [207, 357, 0.0], [357, 505, 0.0], [505, 623, 0.0], [623, 815, 0.0], [815, 929, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.13636364], [44, 80, 0.11111111], [80, 100, 0.15], [100, 127, 0.07407407], [127, 207, 0.1], [207, 357, 0.06666667], [357, 505, 0.00675676], [505, 623, 0.00847458], [623, 815, 0.00520833], [815, 929, 0.05263158]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 929, 0.07121021]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 929, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 929, 0.0799188]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 929, -34.38943025]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 929, 7.75530553]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 929, -3.87582073]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 929, 8.0]]} |

The Future of Work: Imagination vs Reality
by | Liz Alexander, PhD Futurist. Author. Consultant. Speaker.
Dr. Liz Alexander has been named one of the world’s top female futurists. She combines futures thinking with over 30 years’ communications expertise to produce publications that showcase the advice of fellow futurists on issues including the future of education, and how businesses can practically benefit from working with the futures community.
Dr. Liz is the author/co-author of 22 nonfiction books published worldwide, that have reached a million global readers, and has contributed to leading US technology magazine Fast Company, Psychology Today, and journals such as Knowledge Futures, and World Futures Review. She earned her PhD in Educational Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin.
How does your working day look so far?
I imagine you are in your fully functioning home office where digitisation has replaced every scrap of paper. Everything you need, including your robotic personal assistant, is available at the swipe of a finger. Or perhaps you are carrying out your job from a beach in, say, Tahiti. At the very least, you have relocated to what Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World, once envisaged: One of those “small country communities, where life is cheaper, pleasanter, and more genuinely human than… the great metropolitan centres of today.”
No? Not even close?
Yet this is what future thinkers of yesteryear imagined we would experience in 2022. And these aren’t even some of the more outlandish suggestions that have been made about the future of work over the past 100 years (See Boxout).
Perhaps it is time we asked ourselves: Why is it that so many predictions about the future of work are just plain wrong? Why, for example, did a highly publicised University of Oxford study from 2013 confidently state that “47 percent of US jobs were at high risk of being automated within two decades,” when just three years later the figure was estimated to be closer to 9 percent?
Why do we fail to question a future in which autonomous trucks will put tens of millions of drivers out of work worldwide, when the reality–at least according to someone who has studied the phenomenon–is that: “Trucking and delivery includes a lot of skills and tasks that are probably going to be very hard to automate? ”More to the point, what can we learn from these past biases and mental blocks, in order to avoid repeating them?
Psychology First
Allow me to segue into that by pointing out how often decision-makers appear to ignore the importance of work for the psychological health and wellbeing of the vast majority of ordinary people.
Countless international studies have shown that the loss of jobs is associated with a range of mental health issues, from apathy and depression, to substance abuse and the decline of family relationships.
Where high unemployment occurs across communities, this is associated with a rise in violence and criminal behaviour.
Why, then, would those who help shape our future appear so enthusiastic about (or accepting of?) a world in which robots take all the jobs and we humans are largely left to navigate life without any sense of well-being, individual satisfaction, or accomplishment? Let alone where the money to live is going to come from.
Thankfully, that scenario is unlikely to come to pass.
Yet that brings me to my first point, about the hubris inherent in much of our future thinking concerning the world of work. I have written on several occasions about how prominent business leaders frequently try to sell us visions of futures that are tied largely to their own commercial advantages (see for example, my Fast Company article entitled: What Faux Futurists Cost the Rest of Us). Just because someone is seen as smart, passionate, and a “visionary” it doesn’t mean that their pronouncements are right. Elon Musk is a prime example. According to Tesla employees’ testimony to the California Department of Motor Vehicles in 2021, “Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s messaging around driverless vehicle technology does not always ‘match engineering reality’.”
No matter how brilliant or well-educated a person might be: “Combining exponential change with multivariate phenomena two things humans are bad at estimating and understanding is a challenging analytical problem. That’s why futurists are so often wrong: There are too many variables and unknown feedback and feedforward loops.”
When their feet are being held to the fire by impatient stakeholders, decision-makers tend to want future-focused outcomes that are quickly arrived at, neatly packaged, and cut-and-dried.
After all, who wants to grapple with uncertainty when you are responsible for determining how the future will affect your constituency?
But if we are not willing to take the time and considerable mental effort to work through a range of scenarios not least the “worst case” examples–then it is hardly surprising that so many variables and loops are overlooked.
Giving Attention to the Wrong People?
Another reason why predictions about the future of work tend to be so inaccurate, at least in my opinion, is that we focus too much time and attention on those who are over-confident about what the future of work will look like, and how soon it will appear.
As Bill Gates was quoted as saying, “We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.”
But when, in all that time, does anyone ever ask the people who will be affected by these changes about how, where, and when they want to work?
As one report backed by the London School of Economics entitled ‘Unlocking Opportunities for People Hard Hit by Automation and Globalization’ recommends: “We should spend less time trying to predict the future of work and more time focusing on what workers really want from work.”
As a futurist this makes total sense to me, given that we know the future is fluid and shaped by the decisions and actions we take in the present.
Configure work according to human needs, not just technological drivers, and we will create the future people want, rather than presenting them with forecasts they will likely fight against.
After all, we have plenty of examples where human behaviour trumps technological pronouncements:
Human Choice Trumps Technology
• E-books were expected to threaten the physical book with extinction. Even in 2016 a BBC.com article proclaimed that this vision, “is well on its way to being realised”. In 2022, e-books didn’t even come close since a considerably higher percentage of people still buy printed books rather than ebooks .
• In 2005, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology posited that by now we would be ingesting “nanobots,” making traditional food consumption “obsolete.” Yet TV shows and YouTube about cooking and eating are increasing in popularity worldwide. A meal-in-a-pill, or even a nanobot, might fit “abstract notions of technological efficiency and scientific notions of health ,” but those aren’t why people are enjoying cooking, and eating, real food.
• In Shift 2020, one “global trends expert” predicted that robots would become our therapists and home care assistants. Yet such pronouncements glibly overlook concerns raised by one study entitled, ‘Caregivers’ use of robots and their effect on work environment: “We know little about robots’ long-term effects on working life. Also missing is research about legal and ethical aspects of using robots, not just in regard to patients’ and clients’ integrity and safety but also to employees.”
In short, predictions about the future–not least the world of work which provides many human beings with a sense of esteem, satisfaction, and accomplishment– invariably ignore human psychology. They also highlight the fact that we have a tendency to become over-excited by the latest technological advancements without thinking deeply about their social, even ethical, ramifications.
Data ≠ Futures Thinking
Which brings me to one more forecast that I don’t see bearing fruit any time soon; another example of how technologists get things wildly wrong.
In 2012 the chief futurist for Cisco Visual Networking believed that in less than a decade. there would be no need for futurists because, “everyone would be able to predict the future themselves.”
He ascribed the universal adoption of this skill to the “rich source of data, creating unprecedented insight.” As if access to “cloud-based tools” alone would enable widespread “what-if” analysis and transform people into futures thinkers.
As with so many highly-educated, smart individuals, this man made the mistake of thinking that if you provide people with a certain environment, they will suddenly think, act, and achieve in the ways you expect.
That isn’t reality, it’s wishful thinking.
As the Director of the Institute for the Study of Political Economy at Ball State University in the United States, Professor Steven Horwitz points out, “Rather than focusing on the big, dramatic technologies and what seem to be their efficiency-enhancing elements, predictors of the future should be thinking more about the everyday things that matter to human beings and trying to imagine how technological change might interact with commerce and culture to produce the weird but still recognizable future.”
Could it be that we get the future of work so wrong because we’re trying to fit complex, unpredictable human beings into scenarios that hold no appeal for them?
Should we not try to better understand what people want from their working lives–and then help them create futures that are more, in Aldous Huxley’s words, “genuinely human.”
Otherwise the future of work that we posit today will never become a reality, but remain an over-enthusiastic elitist dream.

Our View: Learn more about the jail district
This May, voters in Cochise County will be asked to vote on a jail district. The ballot issue asks voters to consider a temporary half-cent sales tax for no more than 25 years to fund the Cochise County jail system to improve staff safety, additional help for the mentally ill, and manage medical needs.
The Cochise County Jail is significantly outdated and faces safety concerns, power capacity issues, plumbing problems, technological problems, leaks and other costly repairs. It was originally designed to house 168 prisoners, but over the years, it has been modified to hold as many as 302 inmates.
A recent assessment of the Cochise County Jail found that the 40-year-old facility has lasted twice its expected life, but now faces maintenance costs that are estimated at several million dollars. This needed renovation would not improve officer safety or provide space and staffing for 24/7 jail medical services.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and county leadership worked together with community leaders, public health and safety professionals, and finance experts to better understand the public safety needs of our community through an extensive public process from August to October of last year.
The Public Outreach Committee made a unanimous recommendation that a new jail was needed and a “Jail District Question,” regarding funding for facilities and staffing should be decided by the voters. Voters can review all of the agendas, minutes and videos of the outreach meetings at cochise.az.gov/856/Jail-District-Public-Outreach-Committee-.
On Nov. 15, the Cochise County Board of Supervisors passed resolution 22-29 stating: “That the Board of Supervisors of Cochise County finds that the public interest, convenience, and necessity will be served by the formation of a Jail District. That the Board of Supervisors of Cochise County hereby orders formation of a Jail District contingent on voter approval of an excise tax as provided in A.R.S.§48-4022, with a maximum effective rate not to exceed .50 percent (one-half cent). That if, approved, collection of the excise tax would be authorized for a period of 25 years.”
Next month, the Sheriff’s Office and county officials will be holding public information town halls to inform about the election and answer questions. Each town hall will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the following locations:
Sierra Vista (Monday, March 27, Cochise College Student Union Community Room)
Willcox (Wednesday, March 29, Willcox High School Auditorium)
Palominas (Friday, March 31 Palominas School Gymnasium)
Bisbee (Monday, April 3 – Cochise County Board of Supervisors Hearing Room)
Douglas (Tuesday, April 4 – City of Douglas Visitor Center)
Benson (Wednesday, April 5 – Benson School District Multi-Purpose Building/Cafeteria)
For information regarding the Jail District Question or details on the towns halls, voters can visit: https://www.cochise.az.gov/864/Cochise-County-Jail-District
The Special Election will be an all-mail election. Voter registration deadline is April 17. Ballots will be mailed to all active registered voters on April 19. Election Day is May 16, and all ballots must be delivered or received by that day. To verify your voter status, you can contact the recorder’s office at 520-432-8358.

Relive the Best Ice Hockey Moments of the 2022 Winter Olympics
/ by Bryan Murphy
Ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics had a plethora of highlights during the two weeks of competitions.
While the Olympics did not feature any NHL players on the men’s side, that does not mean there weren’t plenty of exciting moments. It was an opportunity for other players to shine and for some countries, get a chance to make some history.
The United States continued its dominance on the women’s side, getting back to the gold medal game with a team it is all too familiar with.
On the men’s side, the United States could not have asked for a better start, going undefeated in group play before suffering an upset early in the playoffs.
Here is a look at some of the best moments in ice hockey in Beijing.
Finland wins first gold medal in ice hockey
What better way to conclude ice hockey at the Olympics than with some history?
Finland’s men’s ice hockey team defeated the ROC 2-1 in the gold medal game to win the country its first-ever gold medal.

The Finns finished the 2022 Winter Olympics undefeated. After the three wins in group play, the team beat Switzerland in the quarterfinals, Slovakia in the semifinals and the ROC in the finals.
Coach Jukka Jalonen’s crew allowed just two goals in its three playoff games en route to the milestone. It’s the seventh total medal in men’s ice hockey for Finland at the Winter Olympics.
Slovakia earns first Olympic ice hockey medal
It wasn’t just Finland making history with its Olympic medal. Before the gold medal game, Slovakia had etched its name in Olympic ice hockey history as well.
Slovakia won its first-ever Olympics ice hockey medal, defeating Sweden in the bronze medal game.

The closest Slovakia had ever come before to a medal was reaching the bronze medal game in 2010, where the team fell to Finland, missing the podium.
A large portion of the success came on the shoulders of 17-year-old Juraj Slafkovsky. A projected top-five pick in this summer’s NHL draft, Slafkovsky earned tournament MVP honors with a tournament-best seven goals in seven games. He had two goals in Slovakia’s win over Sweden to grab the bronze.
Canada edges the U.S. in one of the greatest rivalries
The women’s ice hockey tournament ended with the two teams that have dominated women’s ice hockey on an international scale for years — the United States and Canada.
The two met for the fourth-straight Olympics in the gold medal game, but this time, it was Canada coming out on top with a 3-2 win.
It was the fifth gold medal for the Canadians, who avenged its 3-2 shootout loss to the U.S. in the 2018 gold medal game.
Marie-Philip Poulin terrorized the United States yet again, potting two goals in the win. “Captain Clutch” has appeared in four gold medal games and has a goal in every one. Out of the last 10 goals scored by Canada in a gold medal game, Poulin has seven of them.
Sean Farrell opens Olympics with hat trick
Sean Farrell kicked off his Olympics debut with a bang.
The forward from Harvard University and Montreal Canadiens’ draft pick potted a hat trick and added two assists in the United States’ men’s ice hockey opening win over China.
Farrell’s five points were the second-highest scored by a U.S. male skater in a single game at the Olympics, as well as the first hat trick at the Olympics for an American male since Phil Kessel in 2014.
Canada’s Sarah Nurse creates history
When it came to women’s ice hockey at these Olympics, no name appeared more often on the score sheet than Sarah Nurse.
The 27-year-old Canadian forward set a new record for points in a single Olympics for women’s ice hockey with 18 in six games, breaking the longtime record held by fellow Canadian Hayley Wickenheiser from 2006. She also now holds the record for most assists at a single Olympics with 13.
NEW RECORDS! 🤩 @nursey16 now has the most points (18) and most assists (13) in a single women's Olympics. #TeamCanada | #Beijing2022 pic.twitter.com/bOHeLbtM0c
— Hockey Canada (@HockeyCanada) February 17, 2022
She started off the tournament on Canada’s third line but between an injury to Mélodie Daoust and Nurse’s play, she was eventually bumped up to the top line where she did not disappoint. Nurse kicked off the scoring in the gold medal game against the U.S. with a goal in the first period.
Perhaps more importantly, not only was Nurse the only Black hockey player out of any of the women’s teams, but she became the first Black woman to win Olympic gold in ice hockey.
Denmark grabs first wins in Olympics debut
The 2022 Winter Olympics marked the first time that Denmark was competing in ice hockey.
Both the men’s and women’s teams for Denmark made their Olympics debut in Beijing. But these two squads didn’t have plans just to show up and have that be enough.
No, both the men’s and women’s teams earned their first Olympic ice hockey victories. The women’s team defeated the Czech Republic in group play to grab the Danes’ their first-ever Olympic ice hockey win. The men’s team followed with two wins group play before beating Latvia in the qualification round of the playoffs.
It’s safe to say that Denmark looked like it belonged on the Olympic stage and hopefully there is more Danish participation in the coming Winter Olympics. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13221 |

St. Michael Indian School Leads With Catholic Faith, Navajo Culture in Educational Excellence
The school founded by St. Katharine Drexel provides a potential model as the US bishops ponder a comprehensive pastoral plan for Native American Catholics.

ST. MICHAELS, Ariz. — Could a Catholic school founded by a saint, Franciscan friars and Navajo elders provide a renewed vision for Catholic education among Native Americans?
As the U.S. bishops ponder a comprehensive pastoral plan, St. Michael Indian School in Arizona is showing how Catholic educational excellence can make a profound difference in Native American communities by fully embracing both Catholic and Native identity.
Founded in 1902, St. Michael Indian School is a Pre-K to 12th grade Catholic school whose campus borders the Navajo Nation. And it is exploring the groundwork with Xavier University of Louisiana, also founded by St. Katharine Drexel, for the first Native American Catholic university on its sprawling 463-acre campus.
“There are a lot of leaders and professionals that come out of the school,” Derrick Terry, a St. Michael’s alumnus, told the Register. Terry and his wife, Reynalda, graduated with St. Michael’s Class of ’93, went onto higher education and work at the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority, where Derrick is a renewable energy specialist and Reynalda is a chemist.
Derrick said his experience at St. Michael’s helped give him much-needed direction in life, when he was taught by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament.
“They realized you had more potential than you know,” he said.
Reynalda said St. Michael’s introduced her to the Catholic faith and showed how it was beautifully compatible with traditional Navajo spirituality.
The Navajo Catholic husband and wife send all five of their children to St. Michael’s, where they benefit from the school’s Catholic educational excellence, secure environment and commitment to Navajo (Diné) language, culture and identity. They said the school is also accountable and transparent with parents in its decisions.
And 98% of graduates are college-bound. The Terrys are looking forward to their second oldest daughter graduating this year. Their oldest daughter graduated in 2018 and is attending university in state to graduate this year.
“Students have an opportunity to attend a Catholic school that really embraces their culture, as well as the Catholic faith,” St. Michael’s president, Dot Teso, told the Register. “Here, it’s blended together very nicely.”
Teso said St. Michael’s has renewed and increased its commitment to carry on the founding vision of St. Katharine that Catholic education should both teach the Catholic faith and embrace Native American cultures.
The school teaches Navajo language and culture, starting at the pre-K level and going into high school. The school Masses include Navajo language and also a Four Directions prayer approved for Catholic worship.
The school’s commitment increased as COVID-19 had a devastating effect on Navajo elders, who still spoke Navajo, the language that transmits much of their culture, stories and knowledge.
“People are extremely concerned about kids understanding the language and carrying it on,” Teso said.
Teso said they replaced their Spanish I and Spanish II requirements with Navajo I and Navajo II, to support their students practicing the language and speaking it at home and with their elders.
“The school has expanded efforts of language revitalization. Now we’ve seen Navajo language normalized with daily use among students and for families to expect that from our school,” Renee Tsinnie, Director of Advancement, told the Register.
The school’s increasing efforts on Navajo language learning is actually a vital tool to saving lives and healing families wounded by intergenerational trauma from the U.S. government’s efforts to assimilate Native families, which had the negative result of depriving them of their Native identity. According to a 2007 preliminary study by the University of British Columbia (UBC) of 150 Indigenous communities in British Columbia, Canada, youth suicides dropped to near zero in communities where more than half the people could converse in their Indigenous language; but Indigenous communities in which less than half the members spoke their own language saw six times the suicide rate.
St. Michael’s has many alumni working as staff and teachers who return to the school because they believe in its Catholic mission and Navajo expression.
“Navajo identity has been here for a long time,” said Navajo government and language teacher Jan-Mikael Patterson. And he said the school is finding different ways to explore their Navajo identity fully. Besides teaching Navajo government, culture and language, Patterson introduces his students to different Native American customs and traditions, like the Shalako dance of the Zuni Pueblo or the stories of the Lakota.
A Navajo and Catholic Vision
Teso said every decision she has undertaken with her staff begins with an intense period of prayer. Teso said she believes St. Michael’s has succeeded because it has renewed its mission as St. Katharine Drexel intended, by fully teaching the Catholic faith and deepening their Navajo identity.
One major change was that the school discontinued the practice of hiring teachers from programs where the teacher would teach a year in order to get their master’s degree. Teso said Navajo youth needed permanent teachers at the school, as role models and mentors, just like every other Catholic student.
Patterson agreed, saying it was painful for him and other students to see temporary teachers, particularly those they bonded with, come and go every year. He is grateful for the opportunity to be a stable presence in the lives of St. Michael’s youth.
Under Teso’s leadership, today all but four of St. Michael’s staff are Navajo. And Navajo parents like the Terrys say the decision to hire Navajo means their children have “the role models of the community” right there to inspire them to excel in school.
“It gives a new perspective to those kids,” Derrick said.
Teso said the school’s commitment to the fullness of Catholic faith and fullness of Navajo identity has allowed the school to thrive, while other Catholic schools that did not prioritize teaching the Catholic faith and Native culture in harmony have closed their doors. Teso said the St. Michael’s approach has had an evangelizing effect on their students and staff. Over the past 10 years, the school’s Catholic population rose from a third of the school population to more than 60% of their 360 students and families. On average 13 to15 students and staff join the Catholic faith annually, Teso said, a statistic she said rivals most parishes.
A Catholic Legacy of Trust and Respect
St. Michael’s students bus into the school back and forth from all over the Navajo Nation, a considerable distance, given the territory is on par with West Virginia. Modern transportation allows the school to serve their families in line with St. Katharine’s intent that Catholic education should be at the service of parents and not deliberately separate them from their children. The COVID-19 pandemic became an opportunity for the school to invest in new technology, and some students continue to do remote learning.
“St. Katharine thought it was an injustice not to educate children in their homeland, in the very neighborhoods, with their families, where they should be,” Teso said.
St. Katharine’s vision for Catholic education is consistent with the original vision of Catholic evangelization in North America and makes her remembered differently among the Navajo. Armed with her vast inheritance, and with the consent of Navajo head men, St. Katharine placed St. Michael Indian School right next to the Navajo reservation. She spoke personally with Navajo parents about Catholic education and invited them to send their children there to be taught by her Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. While the school was originally set up as a boarding school, given the extensive size of the reservation, St. Katharine also welcomed Navajo parents to set up temporary residence on the school property to stay close to their children.
Teso said St. Katharine also made a point of having children continue traditional Navajo cultural practices, like weaving blankets. And she found partners in Franciscan friars who immersed themselves in the Navajo language and culture in order to minister effectively and provide the sacraments.
However, St. Katharine’s respect for Native parents made her enemies among Catholic bishops and religious who thought the Church should cooperate with the U.S. government’s push (from the late 19th to late 20th centuries) to coercively take children from their families and place them far-away in residential schools to deprive them of their language, culture and identity.
“They fought her tooth and nail,” Teso said. History has vindicated St. Katharine Drexel; and the Catholic Church today is coming to grips with the trauma and scandal of the residential-school period.
Patterson said Navajo historical trauma from this period is real, but he believes St. Katharine is one of those who “treated us like human beings.”
“She didn’t want to separate the families. She just wanted the people here to get a quality education,” he said.
Toward a New Catholic University
Teso said Xavier University of Louisiana, today the nation’s only historically Black Catholic university, is working with St. Michael Indian School to investigate building “the first Catholic, American Indian university in the country, probably in the world, on St. Michael's campus.”
Teso said when the saint purchased the land for St. Michael’s, St. Katharine likely intended the Navajo Catholic school to grow on the same trajectory as Xavier University, which began as a high school and then turned into a university 10 years later.
St. Michael’s grew into a high school in 1946, but St. Katharine died in 1955 before a university was realized. With her death, the saint’s fortune that funded her evangelization instead reverted to other charitable enterprises, as directed by her father’s will. “Nobody would have imagined that she would buy that much land if she had not intended the same outcome for St. Michael Indian School,” Teso said.
As the educational mission of St. Michael Indian School expands, Teso said, the school continues to see success by adhering to St. Katharine Drexel’s vision.
“We need to meet them where they are, minister to them, and educate them where they are,” she said. “That’s what God is calling us to.”

Costly Child Care Is Keeping Parents Out of the Workforce, Hampering the Economy
The absence of reliable and affordable child care has contributed to a labor shortage, which in turn has hurt businesses and made it more difficult for customers to access goods and services

After Bryan Kang’s son was born in July, the occupational therapist and his wife, a teacher, started looking for child care in the Los Angeles area. The couple called eight day care centers: Some didn't have spots for months; others stopped taking their calls and some never answered at all.
So with no viable options, Kang scrambled to find a new job that would allow him to work remotely.
“I told my manager, ‘Hey, by the end of the month, I have to transition out,’" Kang said. "They were very supportive and very understanding because they’re all mothers. But now there’s one less body to see patients.”
Kang said he's fortunate he found a job teaching online classes, but the unexpected career pivot forced him to take an 11% pay cut.

Getting Women Back to Work Is Crucial to Boosting Economy, White House Says
Joe Biden Oct 8, 2021
An Investment in Child Care Would Help Lift Some Latina Women Out of Poverty, Analysis Finds
The truth is, even if he could find a day care spot for his now 3-month-old son, the $2,500 monthly cost of infant care is so high that taking a lower-paying job so he can work from home and care for the baby is the most financially sensible thing to do.
The child care business has for years operated in a broken, paradoxical market: low wages for workers and high costs for consumers. Yet the critical service somehow managed to limp along.
Now, the pandemic has made clear what many experts had long warned: The absence of reliable and affordable child care limits which jobs people can accept, makes it harder to climb the corporate ladder and ultimately restricts the ability of the broader economy to grow.
“Early learning is no longer seen as just a women’s issue or a children’s issue. It’s really seen as an economic issue. It’s about workforce participation,” said Mario Cardona, policy chief for Child Care Aware of America. “It’s about employers who don’t have to worry about whether they’ll be able to rely upon employees.”
Child Care Aware of America estimates 9% of licensed child care programs have permanently closed since the pandemic began, based on its tally of nearly 16,000 shuttered centers and in-home day cares in 37 states between December 2019 and March 2021.
Now, each teacher resignation, coronavirus exposure and day care closure reveals an industry on the brink, with wide-reaching implications for an entire economy’s workforce.
The national crisis has forced many people — mostly women — to leave their jobs, reshaping the child care crisis as not just a problem for parents of young children, but also anyone who depends on them. It has contributed to a labor shortage, which in turn has hurt businesses and made it more difficult for customers to access goods and services.
“The decisions we make about the availability of child care today will shape the U.S. macroeconomy for decades to come by influencing who returns to work, what types of jobs parents take and the career path they are able to follow,” said Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the University of Michigan.
President Joe Biden has pledged an unprecedented burst of federal spending in hopes of fixing the child care market. At a recent town hall in Baltimore, he assured parents they would “not have to pay more than 7% of your income for child care.” Federal money would go directly to care centers to cover costs in excess of the 7% cap. This means the median U.S. family earning $86,372 would pay $6,046 annually for child care.
At a campaign event on Wednesday, former vice president Joe Biden announced the third pillar of his 'Build Back Better' economic recovery plan which would focus on creating 3 million new caregiver jobs and incentivize companies to provide childcare for employees.
Biden’s plan also includes universal pre-kindergarten, which could further reduce child care expenses for families. The expanded monthly payments from the child tax credit approved in Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package would be extended for another year. The president also proposed increasing the size of a tax credit for the cost of child care, all of which should help improve access for families.
The Congressional Budget Office has yet to score the costs as the measures are still being negotiated ahead of Biden’s departure Thursday for the G-20 conference in Rome. But Donald Schneider, a former chief economist for the House Ways and Means Committee who now works for the consultancy Cornerstone Macro, estimates the child care and pre-kindergarten support would cost $465 billion over 10 years. The one-year price-tag of the expanded child tax credit would be around $120 billion. The credit would cost an additional $940 billion if renewed for nine more years.
It remains to be seen what survives in the brutal negotiations in Congress for Biden's broad family services agenda, but the pandemic is proving to be a make-or-break catalyst for the future of the child care industry.
At Forever Young Daycare in the Seattle suburb of Mountlake Terrace, Amy McCoy is burning out fast.
She's spent half of this year trying to hire a new assistant for her in-home child care, but until then, the former public school teacher works 50 hours a week caring for children herself, and more doing the cooking, cleaning and administrative work needed to run her business.
“At what point is my day care more important than my own family?" McCoy asked.
One of McCoy's assistants, who worked there for five years, quit the $19-an-hour job in April for a $35-an-hour job nannying. McCoy has posted the opening for an entry-level assistant on Indeed and Facebook, offering $16 per hour — nearly 20% more than the state minimum wage. She's gotten few responses and all turned her down over pay, making hiring impossible without a tuition increase.
“Nobody wants to work for what I can afford to pay right now,” McCoy said. “I absolutely believe these are $20-an-hour employees, but I hate that, most likely, I will have to raise tuition."
Child care is an essential service for so many parents trying to get back to work, but now child care centers are making a desperate plea for help just to stay open. Kim Baldonado reports for the NBC4 News on Thursday, Oct. 15.
The U.S. Treasury Department noted in a September report that child care workers earn on average $24,230. More than 15% of the industry’s workers live below the poverty line in 41 states and half need public assistance. The sector has high levels of turnover, with 26% to 40% leaving their job each year. Nor is their much room to give among child care centers that tend to operate on profits of 1% or less.
In nearby Edmonds, Briana McFadden shuttered her business, Cocoon Child Care Center, last month due to the stress of the pandemic, though McFadden thinks she would have stayed open if there were government subsidies to stabilize the industry.
In 12 years in business, McFadden said she never raised tuition and was the rare day care in the affluent northern Seattle suburbs to accept low-income families on a state subsidy. In pre-pandemic times, Cocoon employed seven people to care for 37 children. Now McFadden plans to open a convenience store.
“It really wasn’t worth it to continue,” McFadden said, her voice quivering with emotion. “Day care is a hard business.”
Tatum Russell’s livelihood depended as much on McFadden’s day care as the restaurant that employs her to hand-bread seafood.
During a COVID-19-related day care closure in August, the single mom could only stitch together help from relatives for some of the time. Russell ultimately had to miss four days of work.
“It’s been a nightmare, and it’s not over,” Russell said.
Boak reported from Washington, D.C.

Republican supporting two Democratic candidates
Lindra Ricketts
I have been a lifelong Republican, but on Nov. 3, I will be voting for at least two Democrats —Michael Mangus for Newark City Council president and Alex Rolletta for Newark City Council At-Large.
I have known Dr. Mangus for more than a decade. He is highly educated and knows how to run a meeting so that everyone will have a voice. He is an excellent listener and works hard on complex issues. He has always been ethical, and he and his wife, Amy, have been active in our church teaching children to make the right decisions. He cares deeply about Newark and its citizens and will do everything that he can to make our city better.
Mr. Rolletta has been called names in this newspaper recently. He is a respectful man and listens to everyone — even his critics. He believes in strong safety forces, new business investment, and better paying jobs. He has spent his time on council fighting for these things. While his opponents claim that he voted for the highest pay raise in city history, it actually was the smallest raise in the last 25 to 30 years. We need more people like Rolletta on council.
Please join me on Nov. 3 and vote for these two fine men. They have both been endorsed by our firefighters and by the local Fraternal Order of Police. If the men and women who we trust to keep us safe believe in these two men, we should as well. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13225 | {"url": "https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/opinion/readers/2015/10/23/republican-supporting-two-democratic-candidates/74377386/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.newarkadvocate.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:20:24Z", "digest": "sha1:6KLSHKAJTTPNQMSMFVG4PDHNLYH6FXG2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1410, 1410.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1410, 5221.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1410, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1410, 25.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1410, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1410, 265.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1410, 0.45833333]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1410, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1410, 0.01066667]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1410, 0.01066667]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1410, 0.03555556]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1410, 0.01041667]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1410, 0.12152778]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1410, 0.60700389]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1410, 4.37743191]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1410, 4.75839753]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1410, 257.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 64, 0.0], [64, 260, 1.0], [260, 697, 1.0], [697, 1165, 1.0], [1165, 1410, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 64, 0.0], [64, 260, 0.0], [260, 697, 0.0], [697, 1165, 0.0], [1165, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 5.0], [48, 64, 2.0], [64, 260, 34.0], [260, 697, 83.0], [697, 1165, 83.0], [1165, 1410, 50.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 64, 0.0], [64, 260, 0.00526316], [260, 697, 0.0], [697, 1165, 0.00875274], [1165, 1410, 0.00416667]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 64, 0.0], [64, 260, 0.0], [260, 697, 0.0], [697, 1165, 0.0], [1165, 1410, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.04166667], [48, 64, 0.125], [64, 260, 0.08673469], [260, 697, 0.02059497], [697, 1165, 0.01709402], [1165, 1410, 0.02857143]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1410, 0.42599916]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1410, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1410, 0.252545]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1410, 7.94198835]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1410, 39.82390993]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1410, -33.53724432]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1410, 19.0]]} |
BNA Season 2 Episode 1: All the information you need to know about the upcoming season!
By Jivika Last updated Apr 6, 2022
For the past year, BNA has appeared on our televisions. The search for BNA: Brand New Animal Season 2 continues, despite this. One of Netflix’s recently released original anime series, BNA is a standout. The unique premise of the show’s first season drew in a large audience.
More of it would be appreciated now. As far as I know, Netflix has not renewed the show for another season. We’ve got all the latest information here.
The original anime series was created by Studio Trigger and later licenced to Netflix. A year after its first appearance at Anime Expo, the show debuted on Fuji TV’s extreme programming block. It was directed by Yoh Yoshinari, with a screenplay by Kazuki Nakashima.
The storey of Shirou Ogami and Michiru Kagemori in Anima City could be proceeded in BNA Season 2. The question is whether or not Trigger will produce a second season of the Brand New Animal anime.
As a science fiction, fantasy drama anime, it’s attracting a lot of attention from viewers because of its compelling storyline. With 12 episodes, Netflix will premiere the first season in April 2019. Season ended with a cliffhanger, making viewers wonder what happens in the next season.

This Is What Fans Can Expect From BNA Season 2
First-season BNA viewership figures
When the first series of BNA was written, there was no indication of a second season renewal, and Netflix did not reject the second season either. This anime has amassed a sizable fan base in a short amount of time since its debut.
And, as we all know, in order to minimise their viewership, Netflix will never show such a famous and anticipated series among fans. BNA is a one-episode animation that isn’t based on any manga. This means Netflix has the option of renewing the show while also pushing the writers to produce a distinct and compelling storyline.
The anime Brand New Animal was released by Tonari no Young Jump, and the manga was published by Asano. On May 29, 2020, 12 further chapters of the anime were released.
Not yet finalised or determined on a release date for season 2 of Brand New Animal, Studio Trigger. There is no official word from the film studio that the anime will be restored. Rumors have circulated at Anime Expo 2019 that the second series of the anime would be revived for a second season in early 2021 due to the Covid-19’s spread.
For the time being, Netflix will never again air two shows back-to-back as closely spaced as Beastmen. Assuming all goes according to plan, the public can expecting BNA season 2 to be aired in the mid- or early-year of 2022 or 2023 if all goes according to plan.
Due to the fact that the show is not based on any manga series, guessing the storyline can be difficult. If the film is to be set in a certain location, it must be decided by the filmmakers. The first season’s conclusion left one loose end. Unanswered questions about Michiru and Nazuna’s pasts led to their transformation into humanoids.
Sylvasta Pharmaceuticals has figured out how to turn into a super Beastman, but the treatment for turning a human into a humanoid has yet to be found. That’s why BNA season 2 is likely to be able to go in any path it wants with Michiru and Nazuna’s storey.
Are you searching for the soundtrack to the show?? When and where did it air? How many people watched? This show has received positive reviews from reviewers with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating.
People who saw this anime felt it was excellent more than 97% of the time. Given how well the show has done in the ratings, this isn’t surprising. The audience gave this presentation a rating of 4.8/5 stars, which is an excellent score.
Rotten Tomatoes has awarded it a terrible 7.3/10, but MyAnimeList has given it an ecstatic 7.4/10.

Meta restores Trump’s Facebook, Instagram accounts
(The Hill) – Meta, the parent company of Facebook, restored former President Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts on Thursday, giving Trump access to post on both social media platforms amid his previous suspensions from both platforms.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed to The Hill on Thursday that it has reinstated Trump’s account on the platforms, pointing to a Jan. 25 statement saying Trump’s account would be reinstated in the “coming weeks.”
Trump’s official Facebook and Instagram accounts currently have 34 million followers and over 23 million followers respectively.
As of Thursday afternoon, his most recent Facebook post was still from Jan. 6, 2021, asking “everyone” at the Capitol to “remain peaceful.”
Trump, who announced his third run for the White House in November, has not said whether he will return to Facebook or Instagram, after starting his own Truth Social platform following his ban. However, Facebook has been an important part of his previous fundraising operations.
Facebook did not consult its oversight board in its decision to allow Trump to return to the platform, but the company said it believes the risk the former president poses to public safety has sufficiently receded since his supporters attacked the Capitol more than two years ago.
“As such, we will be reinstating Mr. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks,” a spokesperson said last month. “However, we are doing so with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses.”
Before his suspension, Trump and his allies had spread misinformation about the 2020 election results, alleging the election had been stolen.
Trump’s campaign team recently sent a letter to Meta last month asking the company to unlock Trump’s Facebook account as he pursues another bid for the White House. The ex-president is also facing a slew of legal battles and federal investigations against him and his company.
Twitter, under the leadership of new CEO Elon Musk, reinstated Trump’s account in November after a nearly two-year ban from the platform. However, he has not tweeted from his account since the ban was lifted.
Trump has amassed nearly 4.9 million followers on Truth Social, which he launched in response to his suspension from other platforms. An exclusivity contract Trump signed with the company reportedly expires in June.

Lunar eclipse may shed light on climate change

Last month’s lunar eclipse not only treated skygazers to a ruddy view of the Moon – it revealed that Earth’s atmosphere contains little light-blocking volcanic dust.
Some researchers say the low volcanic dust levels in the atmosphere over the last dozen years could be contributing to global warming, but others dispute the claim.
During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon directly. But some sunlight still gets through, refracted through Earth’s atmosphere. The amount varies, depending mainly on how much dust from volcanic eruptions is floating around at high altitudes.
Because dust can block sunlight from passing through the atmosphere, more dust makes for a darker Moon during lunar eclipses. “All the big dimmings of the Moon during eclipses can be attributed to specific volcanoes,” says Richard Keen of the University of Colorado in Boulder, US.
Keen and his collaborators have charted the brightness of eclipses back to 1960 and for a few years around the time of the 1883 eruption of Indonesia’s Krakatoa volcano.
They are using the eclipse data to track changes in the opacity of Earth’s atmosphere. While most of the light deflected by particles in the atmosphere is just temporarily diverted and eventually reaches the Earth’s surface, the effects of atmospheric dust can have a significant, if temporary, impact on the climate, Keen says.
Global average
Earth-orbiting satellites can measure atmospheric opacity, but only for a small part of the atmosphere at any given time. A lunar eclipse, on the other hand, conveniently gives an average over all latitudes, Keen says. Eclipse measurements are also easily compared with old eclipse records, which extend back much further in time than the satellite measurements, he says.
The most recent lunar eclipse, on 20-21 February, was a bright one, measuring a 3 – the second-brightest level – on an eclipse-rating scale that ranges from 0 to 4.
That is in line with eclipse data taken since 1995. In that time, the stratosphere has been especially clear, with very little haze-producing volcanic activity compared to the previous three decades, from 1965 to 1995, Keen says.
Because more sunlight is reaching the surface, Earth should be 0.1 to 0.2° Celsius warmer in recent years than it was back in the late 1960s, Keen and his colleagues calculate. Over the same period, the average surface temperature of the Earth has risen by about 0.6° C.
Many factors
According to the scientists that make up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which reports to the United Nations, most of the warming since the mid-20th century is due to the greenhouse gases released by human activity. Other factors, including fluctuating patterns in ocean circulation and slight changes in the Sun’s brightness, also influence the climate.
“All of these have been contributing to a warming, adding on top of each other,” Keen told New Scientist. “The difficulty is, of course, what are the relative magnitudes [of these effects],” he says.
Susan Solomon of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colorado, a member of the Nobel-prize-winning team that put together the 2007 IPCC report, says atmospheric haze, including haze from volcanoes, was included in computer models used for the report.
But she disputes Keen’s conclusions. “There’s no evidence for a significant warming trend over the last several decades [due to a decline in volcanic haze],” she told New Scientist. “In fact, it’s exactly the opposite.”
Ocean heating
The amount of haze in the stratosphere has been higher – blocking more sunlight – in the past 40 years compared to the 20 years before that, she says. So over the past 60 years, there would have been a slight cooling trend if volcanic haze were the only influence on climate, she says.
Keen acknowledges that depending on the period chosen, volcanic haze can give a cooling rather than a warming trend. But he argues that the relatively long period with a clear atmosphere since 1995 could be having a big impact on climate, especially if the extra sunshine reaching the Earth’s surface could create subtle, longer-term warming effects through the heating of ocean water, as some scientists propose.
He is now compiling more precise estimates of the brightness of the most recent eclipse by comparing the Moon’s brightness to that of reference stars during the eclipse. This will allow the amount of haze in the stratosphere during the eclipse to be calculated more precisely.

‘76% of employees not covered by NSSA scheme’
By Mthandazo Nyoni | Mar. 19, 2023
NSSA currently only covers 24% of the working population
THE sun is shining brightly in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare.
It is a typical summer day, hot and dry, with a light breeze rustling through the trees that line the bustling streets.
As people go about their daily lives, few of them stop to think about the plight of those less fortunate — particularly those who are excluded from the National Social Security Authority’s (NSSA) pension schemes.
This exclusion has a devastating impact on the lives of countless Zimbabweans, especially those who are retired or nearing retirement age.
Without the safety net of a pension fund, many of these people have to depend on support from family members, charity or even the government to make ends meet.
NSSA currently only covers 24% of the working population, a figure that is woefully inadequate.
This means that millions of Zimbabweans are excluded from receiving any financial support in their retirement.
The lack of pension funds is just one of many challenges facing the nation, and it’s something that needs to be addressed urgently.

Zim govt railroads anti-labour laws: ITUC
One such person without a safety net is 60-year-old Solomon Chigaka from Harare.
Throughout his entire life, he has never had a formal job.
“I've been selling various goods on the streets as a street vendor to make ends meet,” Chigaka said.
“However, I cannot save for the future with the little I receive.
“I just do menial, hand-to-mouth work. I just work for the 'toilet,'” he added as he wiped sweat from his forehead.
Recognising that a greater percentage of Zimbabweans, particularly those working in the informal economy are currently excluded from social security coverage, NSSA acting general manager Charles Shava said they were working on developing an informal sector scheme that considers the needs of players in that sector.
“Already we have produced a report on the feasibility of extending coverage to the informal sector working in partnership with the International Labour Organisation (ILO),” Shava said.
“Now we intend to undertake extensive stakeholder engagement which will culminate into a nationwide informal sector needs assessment survey.
“It is our hope that the information collected from this survey will enable us to design and cost a sustainable scheme that meets the needs of the informal sector.”
According to ILO estimates, almost 5,2 million people trade in the informal economy in Zimbabwe, 65% of whom are women.
Currently, only about 1,4 million Zimbabweans are covered under social security schemes against an estimated total labour force of 3,9 million, according to the latest Zimstat labour force presentation.
For Zanele Ndlovu, a retired teacher from Bulawayo, the pay-outs from NSSA are far from adequate to cushion her against the rising cost of living.
"Yes, I receive benefits from the NSSA pension plan, but the money I receive is insufficient to satisfy my monthly needs,” Ndlovu said.
“For instance, using the parallel exchange rate, I only received $41 496 last month, which is equal to US$35.”
The local currency has continued to depreciate against the greenback in formal and informal markets, where goods and services are increasingly priced in United States dollars or South African rand.
Additionally, the prices of goods and services continue to rise, even in US dollars, a trend that is likely to persist, according to the FewsNet, condemning more citizens, particularly the elderly, to poverty.
According to a survey conducted in January 2023 by Zimstat, about 80% of food purchases are made in USD, with the remaining 20% being made in local currencies.
According to the World Bank, Zimbabwe’s January 2023 real annual food inflation rate in local currency was 121%, the highest in the world.
Due to these hardships, pensioners are actively lobbying the government for a United States dollar payout.
"As pensioners under NSSA, our concerns are that the payouts that we are getting are not sustainable.
“We would love to have a situation where we are paid sustainable payouts as pensioners," Zimbabwe National Pensioners Forum Trust (ZNPFT) chairman Winos Dube said.
“We are advocating for a change in the payouts made by NSSA, so that pensioners can receive their payments in US dollars rather than RTGS.
“This is because the current payouts, though they may exist, do not provide enough money to sustain pensioners' lives.”
Dube revealed that they have made it clear to the management of NSSA that the current payouts are a mockery of the pensioners' lives.
“We are firmly advocating for a minimum payout of US$150. We are working hard to ensure that pensioners will receive a payout that is fair and sufficient for them,” he said.
However, one of the ZNPFT members said whenever retirees ask for their pensions to be increased, NSSA management always claims they will perform an actuarial analysis to ascertain if they have the capacity to do so. Yet, unfortunately, this rarely materialises.
“This is a mere excuse to refuse to pay us what we deserve. We know NSSA can also pay us in USD,” the member said.
To combat the issue of exclusion, experts said the government needs to commit to increasing the coverage of the NSSA to encompass the entire working population.
This would ensure that everyone in Zimbabwe has access to a pension fund and can provide for their future.
In addition to increasing coverage, the government should also consider introducing more flexible retirement plans.
This would give people the opportunity to save for their retirement in a way that suits their lifestyle and financial situation.
“The impact of exclusion from the NSSA pension funds is far-reaching.
“Without access to a secure retirement fund, many Zimbabweans are forced to rely on family members or charity to make ends meet.
“This has a negative effect on their mental and physical health, as well as their overall quality of life,” said Patience Chikwature, a Harare-based psychologist.
To ensure a better future for its citizens, Chikwature said Zimbabwe must address the issue of exclusion from its pension funds.p
“With the right commitment from the government and due diligence from the people, the nation can ensure that everyone in Zimbabwe has access to the financial security they need in their golden years,” she said.
Speaking to journalists recently at the start of the NSSA/IPEC journalism mentorship programme for the 2023 season, Shava noted that by providing social security coverage, they have a critical part to play in reducing poverty and vulnerability.
“However, due to myths and misconceptions about social security many individuals either fail to realise that social security is their right and hence do not enrol on our schemes or simply do not access their benefits when they become eligible,” he said.
“As an organisation we remain focused on becoming a world class provider of social security services by 2030 as such we are constantly working on various initiatives aimed at improving the livelihoods of current members as well as extending social security coverage to currently excluded groups of workers.”
The NSSA chief said they were now “regularly reviewing pension levels so as to cushion our pensioners against inflationary pressures and hence preserve the buying power of their pensions.”
As part of their mandate, NSSA is dedicated to promoting occupational safety and health in the workplace through teach-ins and health and safety assessments.
Additionally, they have implemented a number of initiatives to improve the resilience of pensioners, such as discounted groceries, zero bank charges, medical outreaches with a mobile clinic, a clinic in Harare for pensioners, goat farming out-grower programmes, and providing suitable housing for grossly disabled pensioners under the Accident Prevention and Workers Compensation Scheme.
For Harare resident Rejoice Vuma, the need for the government to safeguard the contributions of the populace by putting in place effective systems cannot be overemphasised.
High-ranking officials at NSSA have been implicated in corruption cases involving millions of dollars that have eroded the value of citizen’s savings.
"As a contributor, I am concerned because corruption is rampant at NSSA. The government must take action,” Vuma said.
“Also, NSSA needs to be shielded from political meddling if it is to be effective.”

Friday's Rare Blue Moon the Last Until 2018
There are 13 full moons this year

When Friday's blue moon arrives, don't expect it to be blue—a blue moon isn't actually that color, reports CNN, though some full moons can indeed have a bluish hue. The phrase "once in a blue moon" refers to something that is rare, and it was once used this way in the Maine Farmers' Almanac when describing the third full moon in the rare season that has four (typically, there is only one full moon a month, thus a three-month season will have three full moons). But in 1946, Sky & Telescope magazine published an article that misunderstood this definition, instead calling the second full moon in a calendar month a blue moon. And it is indeed fairly rare: It happens once every 2.7 years or so.
This has become the modern definition and is used to describe Friday's full moon, which is the second this month (the first was on July 2); it'll be the last of its kind until January 2018. Interestingly, while the most recent blue moon according to this modern definition occurred at the end of August of 2012, the most recent blue moon according to the original definition occurred more recently, in August of 2013, when the full moon was the third of four that summer. As for the blue moon on July 31, while it may seem to last all night, it's technically an "instantaneous event" that occurs at 6:43am EDT on the nose, reports Space.com. (Earlier this month, a man took an incredible picture of the International Space Station passing in front of the moon.) | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/13230 | {"url": "https://www.newser.com/story/210553/fridays-rare-blue-moon-the-last-until-2018.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.newser.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:41:39Z", "digest": "sha1:2SH355JADKZWFSRNVDTH5LC3ZBNTUBZ3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2250, 2250.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2250, 27648.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2250, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2250, 181.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2250, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2250, 303.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2250, 0.35892116]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2250, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2250, 0.03593487]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2250, 0.03593487]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2250, 0.03593487]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2250, 0.04042673]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2250, 0.01516002]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2250, 0.0190904]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2250, 0.01452282]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2250, 0.18879668]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2250, 0.53652393]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2250, 4.4861461]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2250, 4.9525175]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2250, 397.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 71, 0.0], [71, 134, 0.0], [134, 174, 0.0], [174, 224, 0.0], [224, 275, 0.0], [275, 313, 0.0], [313, 367, 0.0], [367, 377, 0.0], [377, 421, 0.0], [421, 455, 0.0], [455, 498, 0.0], [498, 530, 0.0], [530, 771, 0.0], [771, 790, 0.0], [790, 1489, 1.0], [1489, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 71, 0.0], [71, 134, 0.0], [134, 174, 0.0], [174, 224, 0.0], [224, 275, 0.0], [275, 313, 0.0], [313, 367, 0.0], [367, 377, 0.0], [377, 421, 0.0], [421, 455, 0.0], [455, 498, 0.0], [498, 530, 0.0], [530, 771, 0.0], [771, 790, 0.0], [790, 1489, 0.0], [1489, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 22, 3.0], [22, 71, 7.0], [71, 134, 9.0], [134, 174, 7.0], [174, 224, 7.0], [224, 275, 7.0], [275, 313, 7.0], [313, 367, 12.0], [367, 377, 1.0], [377, 421, 8.0], [421, 455, 7.0], [455, 498, 6.0], [498, 530, 7.0], [530, 771, 45.0], [771, 790, 4.0], [790, 1489, 125.0], [1489, 2250, 135.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 71, 0.0], [71, 134, 0.01639344], [134, 174, 0.0], [174, 224, 0.08163265], [224, 275, 0.0], [275, 313, 0.0], [313, 367, 0.0], [367, 377, 0.0], [377, 421, 0.0952381], [421, 455, 0.06060606], [455, 498, 0.0], [498, 530, 0.31034483], [530, 771, 0.03097345], [771, 790, 0.05555556], [790, 1489, 0.0089153], [1489, 2250, 0.02445652]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 71, 0.0], [71, 134, 0.0], [134, 174, 0.0], [174, 224, 0.0], [224, 275, 0.0], [275, 313, 0.0], [313, 367, 0.0], [367, 377, 0.0], [377, 421, 0.0], [421, 455, 0.0], [455, 498, 0.0], [498, 530, 0.0], [530, 771, 0.0], [771, 790, 0.0], [790, 1489, 0.0], [1489, 2250, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.13636364], [22, 71, 0.14285714], [71, 134, 0.11111111], [134, 174, 0.25], [174, 224, 0.12], [224, 275, 0.1372549], [275, 313, 0.15789474], [313, 367, 0.16666667], [367, 377, 0.1], [377, 421, 0.13636364], [421, 455, 0.02941176], [455, 498, 0.13953488], [498, 530, 0.21875], [530, 771, 0.05809129], [771, 790, 0.05263158], [790, 1489, 0.02002861], [1489, 2250, 0.02233903]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2250, 0.55202717]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2250, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2250, 0.62176961]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2250, -83.4624267]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2250, 8.23805536]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2250, -25.23914443]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2250, 13.0]]} |
The Hard Shoulder
Minimum pricing 'hasn’t worked and should be dropped'
Minimum pricing for alcohol “hasn’t worked and should be dropped”, journalist Ian O’Doherty has said.
The legislation came into effect in January last year and since then every gram of alcohol must cost at least 10 cent.
At the time, Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said, “This measure is designed to reduce serious illness and death from alcohol consumption and to reduce the pressure on our health services from alcohol-related conditions.”
Mr O’Doherty was opposed to the measure when it was brought in and one year on has not changed his mind.
“Everybody now realises that it hasn’t actually achieved what they wanted,” he told The Hard Shoulder.
“Let’s just cut to the chase, this is a tax on the working class, it’s a tax on the poor… There was a real stench of moral puritanism about the whole thing.
“Basically, they just don’t approve of serving people drink and it’s the fact that it doesn’t apply to the higher quality, more expensive drinks that the middle classes can afford to buy.
“I think to be honest with you, it was a really mean spirited, punitive and nasty gesture that hasn’t worked and should be dropped.”

CEO of Drink Aware Sheena Horgan said it is still too early to jump to any conclusions about the impact of minimum pricing.
“Its purpose is to reduce consumption among the heavier or some of the heaviest drinkers,” she said.
“We don’t have the data yet as to whether that has shifted that dial or not to be honest.
“If we look at Scotland, the figures there show the figures reduce it by about 6.2% and, at the end of the day, the figure might not seem large but if that’s reducing harms, if it’s reducing hospitalisation then it’s certainly a very good thing to do.”

New York Fed Quarterly Report Shows Student Loan Debt Continues to Grow
NEW YORK – In its latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York today announced that student loan debt reported on consumer credit reports reached $904 billion in the first quarter of 2012, a $30 billion increase from the previous quarter. In addition, consumer deleveraging continued to advance as overall indebtedness declined to $11.44 trillion, about $100 billion (0.9 percent) less than in the fourth quarter of 2011. Since the peak in household debt in the third quarter of 2008, student loan debt has increased by $293 billion, while other forms of debt fell a combined $1.53 trillion.
The New York Fed also released historical student loans figures, by quarter, dating back to the first quarter of 20031 as part of this quarter’s report. These data show that student loan debt has substantially increased since 2003, growing $663 billion. Outstanding student loan debt surpassed credit card debt as the second highest form of consumer debt in the second quarter of 2010.
“Student loan debt continues to grow even as consumers reduce mortgage debt and credit card balances,” said Donghoon Lee, senior economist at the New York Fed. “It remains the only form of consumer debt to substantially increase since the peak of household debt in late 2008.”
Additionally, 90+ day delinquency rates for student loans steadily increased from 6.13 percent in the first quarter of 2003 to its current level of 8.69 percent. They remain higher than that of mortgages, auto loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC).2 90+ day student loan delinquencies were at their peak during the third quarter of 2010 at 9.17 percent and are the only form of those delinquencies to increase this quarter (by 0.24 percent).
The New York Fed’s latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit also includes data on mortgages, credit cards, auto loans and delinquencies.
Other highlights from the report include:
Mortgage balances shown on consumer credit reports fell again ($81 billion or 1.0 percent) during the quarter.
Mortgage originations, which we measure as appearances of new mortgages on consumer credit reports, rose to $412 billion and are 17.4 percent below their first quarter 2011 level.
Credit card balances, at $679 billion, were 21.6 percent below their fourth quarter 2008 peak of $866 billion.
The number of credit inquiries within six months–an indicator of consumer credit demand–declined slightly, 0.5 percent, and is now 15.5 percent above its first quarter 2010 trough.
Auto loan originations rose 2.1 percent in the quarter, to $72 billion, and are 43.6 percent above their trough level in quarter one of 2009.
About $1.06 trillion of consumer debt is currently delinquent, with $796 billion seriously delinquent (at least 90 days late or “severely derogatory”).
About the New York Fed’s Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit
The New York Fed’s Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit provides unique data and insight into the credit conditions and activity of U.S. consumers. The report, which is updated quarterly, includes information on various aspects of consumer debt, including bankruptcies, per capita debt levels, total debt levels and composition of debt, new originations of installment loans, total balance by delinquency status, foreclosures and new delinquencies by loan type for the U.S. and select states. The report is aimed at helping community groups, small businesses, state and local government agencies and the public to better understand, monitor and respond to trends in borrowing and indebtedness at the household level. The report is based on data from the New York Fed’s Consumer Credit Panel, which represents a nationally representative random sample drawn from Equifax credit report data. Sections of the report are presented as interactive graphs on the New York Fed’s Household Credit web page and the full report is available for download.
1As of the Q1 2012 report, the Quarterly Report will provide data and charts over a ten year period. Note that reported aggregates, especially in 2003-2004, may reflect some delays in the reporting of student loans by servicers to credit bureaus which could lead to some undercounting of student loan balances. Quarterly data prior to Q1 2003, excluding student loans, will remain available on the Household Credit webpage.
2 As explained in a recent blog post, these delinquency rates for student loans are likely to understate actual delinquency rates because almost half of these loans are currently in deferment or in grace periods and therefore temporarily not in the repayment cycle. This implies that among loans in the repayment cycle delinquency rates are roughly twice as high.
