To my firstborn son Sam: You have just passed over, a few moments ago, into Breakless Time. Your entire lifetime, up until this morning, has been punctuated with regular and numerous breaks of 6-week sessions, quarters, semesters, and summers. And with each period, someone else has set expectations and milestones for you. But now, with your final graduation, you are passing into another kind of life... One without the steady heartbeat of the breaks you have known all your life. And with the passing of the breaks comes the passing of the expectations and milestones. One day fades into a month, and seasons into years.
But the real tragedy isn't that life slips away, because it gets away from us all. Rather, the great sadness is how many people go through the rest of their lives expecting someone to give them their next assignment.
There is no next assignment. Nobody appoints you to greatness. Nor can you ask anyone's permission to be great. Also, you can certainly be good by doing things you're qualified for, but greatness happens far more often as a result of doing things you're not yet qualified for... and that nobody else is, either. So go out and find a need that isn't being met yet... and fill it!

In this episode of Who Belongs? we speak with Peter Hammer and Amina Kirk, who have been working in a variety of capacities for equitable development and racial justice in Detroit for many years.
Peter is a Professor of Law and the Director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School. The Keith Center runs the Detroit Equity Action Lab, whose purpose is to address structural racism in Detroit.
Amina Kirk is the Senior Legal and Policy Advocate & Organizer with Detroit People's Platform, a racial and economic justice organization. She’s an affordable housing activist, and earned her JD and Master’s in Urban Planning from the University of Michigan.
This episode was produced in collaboration with the Haas Institute's Civic Engagement Narrative Change Project.
Peter Hammer: At the end of the day you can't fight for social justice in Detroit if you're not an optimist despite the challenges, but you also have to be a realist. And I think what abandonment is sort of a wake up call, that says, particularly in cities like Detroit, you probably have to go through a phase of self help, self analysis, and political consciousness building to build political power, at the same time that you're trying to find allies in different parts, and certainly trying to build bridges.
Marc Abizeid: Hello, and welcome to this episode of Who Belongs, which is the second installment of our civic engagement series produced in collaboration with the Haas Institute's Civic Engagement Narrative Change project, and today we're going to try a slightly different format, we'll be talking with two experts from Detroit about the issue of abandonment, or the lived reality of many Detroiters that political and economic leaders have left them behind. And we'll talk about the role of civic engagement work to respond to this abandonment in the areas of politics, housing, and economic development.
Marc Abizeid: But to facilitate the discussion will be my colleague, Josh Clark, who is a political participation analyst and lead researcher for the Civic Engagement Narrative Change project here at the institute. So thank you, Josh for leading this episode today.
Josh Clark: Yeah, thanks, Marc. Thanks for having us on Who Belongs.
Marc Abizeid: So you'll be interviewing our two guests who are on the line from Detroit, Peter Hammer and Amina Kirk, who have been working in a variety of capacities for equitable development and racial justice in Detroit for many years. So now I hand it over to you to more formally introduce our guests and lead today's discussion.
Josh Clark: Thanks again, Marc. So today we'll be joined by Peter Hammer, who is a professor of law and the director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School. The Keith center runs the Detroit Equity Action Lab, the purpose of which is to address structural racism in Detroit. And our second guest is Amina Kirk, who is the senior legal and policy advocate and organizer with Detroit People's Platform, a racial and economic justice organization.
Josh Clark: Amina is an affordable housing activist and earned her JD and masters in urban planning at the University of Michigan. So thank you very much Amina and Peter for joining us remotely. We're happy to have you here.
Peter Hammer: It's a pleasure to be here.
Josh Clark: Okay. So our guests make the case that traditional forms of voter and civic engagement will have limited effectiveness in Detroit. And that one of the biggest reasons for this is the phenomenon of abandonment. They say that abandonment is a real and widespread issue in the city's neighborhoods. And while Detroit maybe an acute example of the phenomenon of abandonment. They also note that there are lessons that can be learned from Detroit, and from their work that would benefit civic engagement organizations, and the funding community and wider ecosystem that support them in different parts of the country.
Josh Clark: And to help these actors to think differently about what work for broad participation should actually involve. So I wanted to start by just giving Peter and Amina an opportunity to each say a bit about what they mean when they talk about abandonment. What is abandonment? And how do you identify it? Peter, I first heard you speak on this subject. So maybe we'll start with you for this question.
Peter Hammer: Thanks Josh. When we think about abandonment at the Keith Center and the DEAL. We start with a framework of spatial structural racism. And if you did opportunity mapping in Southeast Michigan, you could actually see entire geopolitical boundaries of Pontiac, and most of Detroit from outer space is opportunity deserts. And when I say opportunity deserts what I'm really talking about are the social, political and economic institutions that are necessary to create opportunity. And if you overlay racial demographics on top of opportunity, you find that this region is segregated not just by wealth and opportunity, but by race, wealth and opportunity. And that's our notion of spatial structural racism.
Peter Hammer: So now what does it mean to have an absence of opportunity, and we have to start seeing things that are not there. And this is where the notion of abandonment gets folded in. You don't have a regional market, right? There's no regional housing markets. There's no regional transportation market. There's no regional food market. There's no regional jobs market, and there's an absence of political market. So the social, political and economic markets really have to be thought of in conjunction.
Peter Hammer: And what you've had over time is a reproduction of this racialized space and this abandonment, 50 years ago you would have had segregated space inside the city of Detroit. Now what has happened through a period of white flight and transportation housing policy is the reproduction of that racialized space almost at a city wide level. And one implication when you start drilling down to the neighborhood, is not only are the neighborhoods not connected to the regional economy, oftentimes the neighborhoods around the city are not even connected to each other. So what we're trying to lift up this notion of the absence of these institutions to create opportunity, this political and economic abandonment of citizens in Detroit, and then imagine what that means for civic engagement.
Josh Clark: Great, thank you. Thank you for offering those words about how you diagnose this phenomenon. Amina, I wondered if you wanted to add anything further about how you're thinking about the issue of abandonment and how it's identified, what it is, in Detroit.
Amina Kirk: I don't ... I think Peter really words it perfectly and I will say that the way I think about it in my work, it really does mirror what Peter has already said. Is that the absence of those markets is part of abandonment, and also the situation, I think about policy, is that abandonment is present where the environment, where the market exists, where abandonment is president has involved such that the spatial structural racism has been operationalized, and is now an essential component of the successful functioning of the markets outside of the abandoned geographic area.
Josh Clark: Great. Thank you for that. Amina, I wonder if I could ask you to speak a little bit to how this translates into a lived reality or shapes a worldview of residents in the neighborhoods that we're discussing. In your organizing work, in the work that you've done in the city, what do we know about the way that life prospects and possibilities, people's sense of what their options are, are shaped through the structural failures that you've both described so well.
Amina Kirk: I definitely think that one of the essential characteristics and how it shows up in residence life, is the disempowerment that abandonment can have over residents sense of agency and power over how their lives function. Detroit initially in its past had a very engaged citizenry, particularly its black residents. And so we had political engagement and social engagement, residents band together in 1967 to protest police brutality and economic and social exclusion.
Amina Kirk: There were also union reforms that took place in the 60s when black residents in the automotive factories came together because they were not being included in all that unions have to offer, and helped to get some union reforms on the books. And then we also have political will where residents elected the first black Mayor, Coleman Young after the rebellion. And there was just a very strong community network, social network, labor network, neighborhood networks that existed. Over the past decades, as we've seen the abandonment that has taken root in Detroit, we've seen the dismantling of these networks, and that it's also disempowered residents politically and economically. So economic opportunities simply do not exist in the city for the average residents, we are a majority black city, and yet we see that most of our residents have to commute out into the suburbs, because that is where the economic opportunities exist, we see that the education system has been completely dismantled where residents have to go to private schools if they're looking for quality education. And the disempowerment comes because they have been so removed from decision making intentionally, and even when they are organizing themselves to participate, we still see a strong struggle against allowing that voice to have any true power.
Amina Kirk: And so you can see our residents become disillusioned where they are not participating economically or politically, because when they attempt to, it does not have an impact. And this has gone on for such a long time that we certainly see that residents have completely removed themselves from those processes in some instances. There is still a strong vein of that organizing spirit and that fighting spirit, and we see that in our grassroots organizations and our community organizations. However, the strong culture that was pervasive in the city prior to the phenomenon that we're discussing here today has definitely been weakened.
Josh Clark: Right. So it sounds like this networked character that used to be alive and well in neighborhoods when folks were able to work, maybe not in their home neighborhoods, but closer, to have their kids attend neighborhood schools, that creates these sort of dense social ties, right?
Amina Kirk: Absolutely. It creates the social fabric of communities that are necessary for any healthy urban area. And so we have unhealthy urban areas, and we have residents that have continued to make a life there. But the situation is that it's simply isn't... We don't have healthy vibrant communities. And then we have the new generation of residents, if they are not familiar with the past history, there're two different kinds of perspective that residents can internalize. And one is that this is the way it's always been. The communities have always been economically and politically isolated, and disenfranchised. And so there's no point in engaging with the political or economic systems because there's never been anything beneficial there for us.
Amina Kirk: Then there's also another perspective when people are unfamiliar with the past history of the way things work before abandonment. And that is that the community and the residents that are there, they are the reason that abandonment occurred, and so therefore there's no reason to try to have any influence economically or politically, if you see that your participation and your presence were actually part of the motivating factor that caused abandonment.
Josh Clark: Okay that's actually a great segue to the next kind of set of questions that I wanted to hear from you and Peter about, which is to move sort of a little bit more directly into this question of how abandonment influences folks' willingness to become civically engaged, to engage with institutions, community and civic institutions within the context of doing things like voting, but also other forms of political participation. And it sounds like you've answered that question, that there are these two threads that you just mentioned.
Josh Clark: I guess kind of going back and forth, because we've been going back and forth between you and Peter. I wonder if he wants to add any other comments about that, about how this condition of abandonment influences attitudes about civic engagement?
Peter Hammer: Sure. And I just endorse what Amina said. I would add a couple of sort of different dimensions of, if you think about when was the era of abandonment, I would really say it probably went from the late 1960s until about 2010. And we're actually having to add one more subtle narrative on top of that since about 2010, and really the entry of emergency management in bankruptcy. These neighborhoods have really been targeted not for development but for displacement. So you have this sort of decades long notion of complete abandonment and neglect from both political economic markets, and while people may read about all this come back about Detroit is limited to know more than 7.2 miles of a city that is nearly 140 square miles in size. And they're not getting investment. And indeed, if the neighborhoods are not connected economically as the claims that we're making, you can pour all the money you want downtown, and it flows only out to the suburbs, it doesn't flow to the neighborhoods. What has happened in the neighborhoods at the same period have been over 100,000 residences having their water shut off. What's happened in the neighborhoods has been over 100,000 homes being foreclosed for failure to pay taxes, taxes which are often unconstitutional and illegally over assessed. What's happened to these neighborhoods after abandonment is actually a housing crisis, where rents are skyrocketing, people don't have access to affordable housing.
Peter Hammer: So from that perspective of abandonment and then targeted displacement, you come up and ask them to register to vote. You come up and ask them to fill out the census. This notion of the civic ladder assumes that you have these political, economic, and social institutions to ground that ladder in. The reality of abandonment is that ground has been displaced. That doesn't exist. And therefore, you have to think about new approaches if you're having people to engage civically, and it's got to start from very different premises than we normally project in urban areas.
Josh Clark: Right. So you're referring to a very common kind of metaphor or approach that's used in conventional civic engagement outreach lingo: the ladder of engagement. Sort of the idea that you meet people where they are, maybe they're at the floor, no engagement, maybe they're one or two rungs up and you work from where they are to get them to increase their levels of engagement, take on bigger responsibilities, bigger roles. And it sounds to me like you're kind of saying that this condition of abandonment doesn't fit into that metaphor at all, that this is something qualitatively different and you can't work it in as though, well, maybe if we encounter people in a position of abandonment, they're there in the basement.
Josh Clark: But you're saying that doesn't really work. This is something different. Is that right?
Peter Hammer: You have to really envision a period of self help and ideally in that era of self help be building political education, political consciousness that can lead to building political power, that can lead to changing the policies that have inflicted the abandonment.
Josh Clark: And Amina this is kind of some of the work that you've been doing with the Detroit People's Platform. Is that right?
Amina Kirk: Yes, that's the work that we have been doing, is trying to engage people in the democratic process, and encourage those in power to understand how to engage people. And I actually want to go further than engage because the language we use is empower, we want to empower residents in the democratic process and empower residents participation and decision making with our elected officials, to understand how that should work in an environment where there is a healthy democracy. Because as Peter stated earlier, emergency management really was the removal of the democratic process in Detroit without any pretense, which took place in 2013 and that actually had an extreme chilling effect on citizen participation in our municipal democracy.
Amina Kirk: We did have resident outcry. We did have some have civil disobedience. We did have resident participation to resist emergency management, and to resist the decisions that were coming out of the emergency management process, and yet it proceeded as if residents were not speaking out against it at all, all the decisions went forward, and the emergency management process was carried out until it was completed, until it accomplished the goals that it was intended to. That had an extreme chilling effect on residents who had been engaged in the political system in the city before who were from grassroots organizations, and were used to organizing for power and this was just such a huge entity that completely wiped out the democratic process in the city.
Amina Kirk: And to come after that with the ... As Peter spoke about all of the issues that came after, the water shut off, the extreme housing crisis that we're facing right now with skyrocketing rents. All of that came afterwards. And we still actually continue to see resident engagement and participation. And examples of that would include the creation of the Nations first community benefits ordinance, which came out of the People's Platform, engagement with the Equitable Detroit Coalition, a grassroots group of organizations and residents who had been present in the resistance of emergency management. And we started to see the privatization of so many of our resources in the city, and felt that a community benefits ordinance was one way that we could start to reclaim some residents power by creating ordinance that mandated, not only engagement but empowerment through negotiation, and the actual provision of resources from the corporations that are coming into the city as part of revitalization.
Amina Kirk: We also saw it in the creation of the inclusionary zoning ordinance and the Housing Trust Fund, which is another ordinance that was created with a coalition. We do all our work through coalition, which is extremely important because it is the way that Detroiters have traditionally operated, as I spoke about the past history is coming together in communities, in neighborhoods, working together towards a common goal. And yet, even with those wins the creation of these ordinances that are intended to create resources where there aren't, to create housing, affordable housing, where there isn't, to create money for the commons where there isn't through the CBO.
Amina Kirk: We also continue to see the philosophy of abandonment and disempowerment that is part and parcel of the fabric of our political system in the city. The community benefits ordinance was created and put on the ballot for residents to participate in their democracy by voting as a ballot initiative if they wanted this ordinance to be passed. And we see that the city administration created an opposing ballot initiative and placed it in the ballot at the same time, that created a much weaker version of community benefits. The same thing with the Housing Trust Fund, we see that we get a fund for affordable housing, and the city will not fund it adequately and the city administration several months after that law's passing, creates an opposing fund that lacks transparency, that lacks resident engagement and starts to seek the private funding for that fund, rather than seeing this fund as a resource... as a resource and a return to democracy where city resources are used in a way that benefit all residents and they have a say in it. So we see this constant pull where it is not a state of complete despair. Residents are still fighting, and yet we see that the administration is very rooted in this pathology of austerity and abandonment where, even residents are coming up with these ways to redistribute democracy, and redistribute resources, there's a great effort to resist it that exists in the city.
Josh Clark: Yeah. So it sounds like you pulled out some mobilizations and some initiatives where you have had great success in getting people to show up and to work in coalition with one another despite this condition of abandonment. I wonder besides you mentioned the importance of working in coalitions, if you had any other kinds of examples of what it is, or how it was that you were able to have success despite the circumstance that folks found themselves in. And I ask this partially because I don't want people to walk away with the takeaway of, “Oh, well, what they were saying essentially, is that if you solve a lot of these economic issues then people will participate”. So it's, solve the economic and then the political participation will follow. I don't think that that's it, but I want to give you the opportunity to make sure that you clarify that.
Amina Kirk: I definitely think that solving the economic strategies, solving the economic problem is important, but I think that the spatial racism element and the fact that that is the foundation that abandonment rests on, is really important. It has to be the starting place for an economic approach, for a political approach. Every approach has to look backwards at the racial inequalities that created the situation in Detroit and the fact that the way our political systems, and our economic systems are operating right now are sitting on that foundation of racial inequality before we try to attempt solutions.
Amina Kirk: And so I don't think that simply solving the ... Attempting to solve the economic situation in a vacuum without looking at the past that created the situation, and without looking at the present that is still very firmly rooted in that racial inequality, would be successful. I don't think that those strategies to be successful and actually addressing the problems. The traditional economic development strategies therefore don't work in Detroit and that is the lens that right now the administration and those in power are using to try to revitalize the city, are based in traditional economic build the strategies which look only at the markets, and getting the markets to function properly. And they are absolutely not paying attention to racial justice, to racial equity, to the foundations of these problems.
Amina Kirk: We are looking at pouring money and resources into solutions like privatization that still don't work, into solutions like philanthropy, choosing winners and losers, into choosing winners and losers with neighborhoods and concentrating resources and wealth in certain areas. Because we feel that racial inequality -- and when I say "we," I mean the individual, elected officials and individuals that are making decisions in the city right now. They feel that racial inequality is not important. Residents are discouraged from talking about, discouraged from bringing it up. It is not addressed, the mayor is going to have a state of the city very soon. And when we talk about race in Detroit, we talk about successes. We talk about it as if it's been conquered, as if we're making enormous strides and we don't actually look at the problem before we seek to say that it's solved, and we don't have to worry about it anymore.
Peter Hammer: I think it's actually a little bit even more perverse, as dire as that sounds. I agree with you, Josh, that we need to solve the economic problems. The problem is that our traditional approaches we've used for the last 50 years, not only don't solve the economic problems; they actually have co-created the issues of abandonment. So when we're looking to off the shelf solutions, we're actually making the problem worse in cities like Detroit and not better, and therefore we have to be very intentional about building new economic markets and new political processes. And that's why I think you conjoin this notion of abandonment, with a notion of anti-racist solutions. And in that light, you see the real important potential of an authentic community benefits ordinance that came out of Detroit was advocated by the People's Platform, and Equitable Detroit Coalition. There's an active water affordability plan that's been advocated in Detroit to solve water shut offs. It won't be adopted in Detroit, but it has been adopted in Philadelphia. So you have this notion of perhaps abandonment, but you have tremendous innovation in Detroit, you have tremendous activity among a number of creative ... Of activists. But you're going so far uphill and you're trying to actually create new economic and political processes in the face of traditional systems that actually continually undermine us.
Amina Kirk: I think what Peter said is so important -- that we cannot rest on traditional methods of trying to revitalize cities or trying to bring economic development to scale. And in Detroit particular we see that because we know that there's there is exploitation, and extraction that has been integral to success, economic success outside in other parts of the region outside of the city. And so when we look in the city to replicate that success, then we're looking to bring extraction and exploitation into the city just in a smaller scale.
Josh Clark: Yeah, the centrality of racism and of what the two of you have described as ... Well, Amina you said a philosophy of abandonment. So I feel like that puts a strong point on the fact that this is strategic. This isn't by accident, and it's absolutely, unarguably racialized. It kind of brings me to a last question that I wanted to pose to the two of you. At the Haas Institute as you both know, we talk a lot about bridging and about striving to build bridges across socially recognized forms of difference, by finding other commonalities or connections, shared experiences that can give rise to a bigger "we" -- a "we" in which everyone can participate and belong and feel that they belong.
Josh Clark: I wonder what each of you would say about whether there's any bridging opportunity here that you see. We've been talking mostly about Detroit, which is a predominantly African American city. And it's a city in which as you've both described, there's been racialized abandonment, racialized attacks, and extraction and exploitation. And I wonder if in this context, do you feel that there are ways in which folks from other communities outside of Detroit, whether there are places that have similar experiences outside of Detroit in Michigan, whether there are opportunities for bridging that you see? Peter, I think you suggested to me that you thought there were, so maybe we'll start with you.
Peter Hammer: Yeah. And this notion that's coming out of the Haas Institute about civic engagement and bridging is so important. But as you know better than I do, it's not easy. And bridges have to be built on solid foundations. So I'll share my intuition. It's often commonly thought that, "well why don't just poor white folk and poor black folk recognize the inequality they both suffer, and fight for common causes?" And there's a superficial logic to that and persuasiveness. I think there has to be a separate political analysis within the both the white and the black community first, and I think abandonment especially in the black community frames that. But I think similar analysis in the white community frame that. And that if they can go through that phase of understanding the political forces that have created the disadvantage which they both suffer, then you have a greater possibility of bridging those differences.
Peter Hammer: Because then the bridge on each side is going to be built from a strong foundation. So I think what this calls us to do, as I said before, is reimagine the kinds of engagement that we are looking towards, reimagine the fact that the change that we're trying to advocate for, and build commonality around has to be transformative change. It can't just be integrating people into a burning building. And that there has to be prerequisites to that. So at the end of the day you can't fight for social justice in Detroit if you're not an optimist despite the challenges, but you also have to be a realist and I think what abandonment is sort of a wake up call, that says particularly in cities like Detroit, you probably have to go through a phase of self help, self analysis and in political consciousness building to build political power, at the same time that you're trying to find allies in different parts and certainly trying to build bridges.
Josh Clark: Okay, Amina did you have any reflections that you wanted to offer on that question?
Amina Kirk: I definitely think ... Agree with what Peter has to say. And I believe that there has to be an acknowledgement of what the abandonment was, because right now we look at it as structural. Most people look at it as structural. We abandon the structures of the city, we abandon the schools, we abandon the buildings, the factories, but we really have to come to terms with, and really dig into the abandonment of the people -- that they were a people who were determined by other people, that they were expendable in the name of some greater, larger, more important success of other people. And so the decisions that were made were to abandon a population and the impact that that has beyond the buildings.
Amina Kirk: And I think that when we look at the abandonment of the people, we start to get to some of those policies of economic development that actually address the people, and not just buildings and not just businesses. There's a really great quote by Audre Lorde that's really famous and it's, "the masters tools will never dismantle the masters house." But actually the rest of that writing she goes on to say that fact is only threatening to those who still defined the masters house, as their only source of support. I think that's really important, because as citizens start to reclaim power and these abandoned cities like Detroit -- and I do believe that there are other situations of abandonment that occur on smaller scale, in the inner ring suburbs and in rural areas -- we as residents have to recognize that we are a vital support, source of support for the movements that we need in order to dismantle the house. So I think that the engagement comes from that self reflection, and internalizing the idea that the structures themselves are not the only support. We actually have the power to be our own support to reclaim the house.

Leading the way in the 2018 Oscars race with a whopping thirteen nominations including Best Director and Best Motion Picture is Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, based loosely on the Universal Pictures 1954 sci-fi classic, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) wrote, directed and produced the film with a classical touch paying homage to 1950’s pop culture including a mid-film, stunning black and white ballroom dance sequence. Del Toro’s attention to detail allowed for a easy suspension of disbelief as the narrative followed a lonely, mute janitor who befriends an amphibious creature at a top secret research facility at the height of the Cold War.
British actress, Sally Hawkins (Maudie, Blue Jasmine) portrays the mute, Elisa Esposito. Hawkins’ expressions and body language are quite convincing as her curiosity leads her to the creature, a mesmerizing, demi-god figure with expressive eyes and a physique reminiscent of the alien in the 1987 science fiction film, Predator. For her near-silent performance, Hawkins received one of the thirteen nominations associated with the film with a Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) portrays the Amphibian Man, most often referred to as The Asset by the U.S. military and its top secret research apparatus.
In its essence The Shape of Water is a full-fledged romantic fantasy. Frenchman Alexandre Desplat’s musical score delights during the film’s fairy tale-esque opening and closing and augments the high emotional points of the film to a T. Desplat also shares in the film’s Oscar nods with a Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score). But it’s Elisa’s ability to reach out and connect to the Amphibian Man through eggs and jazz music that drives the film on a more visceral, human level. Who can’t relate to the power of finding connection? What makes this connection especially powerful, however, is not only the abuse the two lovers have endured prior to connecting, but it’s also important to note the film is set up against the “no prisoners taken,” “shoot first ask questions later,” Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union. Directives are given and orders are to be carried out. Or else.
Fortunately, Elisa only works there. But she’s not immune. While she’s a low-level “cleaning woman” who seems to enjoy hot baths, boiled eggs and exploring her sexuality (and not necessarily in that order either) as much if not more than her occupation, she does witness the Amphibian Man being abused. Surprisingly though she’s not alone as she has well-developed relationships with her co-worker, Zelda, portrayed by Octavia Spencer, and her neighbor, Giles, portrayed by Richard Jenkins. Both actors received Oscar nods for their performances with Spencer receiving a nod for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role and Jenkins getting a nod for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.
Another dynamic deserving of attention is the exquisite and remarkable aqua-marine color palette utilized in the film’s production design. Yes, the film received a nod for Best Achievement in Production Design for the team of Paul D. Austerberry, Shane Vieau and Jeffrey A. Melvin. Throughout the film, clips from 1950’s sit-coms are diagetically placed on set via television sets. Norman Vincent Peale’s best selling self-help book, “The Power of Positive Thinking,” is subtly intertwined in a conversation with Michael Shannon’s somewhat diabolical and altogether sadistic character, civilian Richard Strickland, who oversees and is charged with carrying out the US military’s research on the Amphibian man and his superior to great affect.
I would feel amiss at this point if I didn’t mention the film’s Oscar nominations not previously noted: Best Original Screenplay for Del Toro and Vanessa Taylor; Best Achievement in Cinematography, Dan Laustsen; Best Achievement in Costume Design, Sequeira; Best Achievement in Sound Editing, Nathan Robitaille and Nelson Ferreira; Best Achievement in Sound Mixing, Christian T. Cooke, Glen Gauthier and Brad Zoern; and, Best Achievement in Film Editing, Sidney Wolinsky.
This is a wonderful film. Admittedly, it was my “early” (before Oscar nominations were announced) film of the year as I originally watched the film over the holidays on a date. Highly recommended!

A Rochester Institute of Technology-led consortium has won a $19.5 million, five-year award from the New York State Department of Environmental Conversation (DEC) to operate the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I), allowing RIT to continue to lead important environmental projects and initiatives that have a significant impact on businesses and residents statewide.
The contract award for NYSP2I is funded by the state's Environmental Protection Fund and followed a competitive statewide application process. It is subject to approval from the Office of State Comptroller.
NYSP2I, sponsored by the DEC since its establishment in 2008, is led by RIT's Golisano Institute for Sustainability. GIS will continue to direct a statewide consortium of environmental experts from leading schools in Binghamton University, Clarkson University, Cornell University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), whose leaders expressed eagerness to work with RIT to make the state more sustainable for workers, the public, the environment and the economy through pollution prevention.
RIT President David Munson said RIT is "thrilled to receive this award to continue to operate the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute, and we thank Governor Cuomo and DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos for their confidence in RIT."
"We are proud of the impact that NYSP2I has had in helping businesses reduce their environmental impacts in ways that also improve their operations and their bottom lines," Munson said. "This partnership with New York state, our terrific university partners and the strong network of statewide Manufacturing Extension Partnerships (MEPs) is a model of successful collaboration that leads to outstanding results, and the re-designation will enable us to engage with more companies and organizations in these efforts."
Seggos said "NYSP2I's approach goes beyond compliance-driven activities and focuses on preventing pollution at its source and identifying opportunities to make New York companies more efficient and economically stronger."
"RIT has done a tremendous job operating NYSP2I for the past decade, and the DEC looks forward to continuing our work together to reduce the pollution entering New York's environment and the waste entering our landfills," Seggos added.
$4.7 million in operational cost savings as a result of direct assistance to state companies.
More than 300 assistance projects working directly with statewide companies and communities.
More than 60 companies receiving assistance through its Green Initiative, supporting the potential to create nearly 200 jobs.
$1.5 million in support of projects through NYSP2I's Community Grants Program.
More than $2.5 million to fund 35 Research and Development projects.
Charles Ruffing, director of NYSP2I, noted that the institute has gained a strong reputation for bringing innovative processes and technologies to a wide variety of industry sectors.
"The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute's accomplishments over the last decade here at RIT, working closely with the DEC and our partners across all corners of the state, have helped provide significant value to a wide range of New York state industries–both environmentally and economically," Ruffing said. "We look forward to expanding our impact in the future as we work to identify opportunities that will continue to help businesses, communities and the citizens of New York become more sustainable."
In addition to its partner universities, NYSP2I's statewide reach is supported by the Empire State Development's New York State Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), a network that includes FuzeHub and the Center for Economic Growth in Albany, N.Y.; Insyte Consulting in Buffalo, N.Y.; NextCorps in Rochester, N.Y.; Industrial & Technology Assistance Corporation in New York City; Central New York Technology Development Organization in Liverpool, N.Y.; Alliance for Manufacturing & Technology in Binghamton, N.Y.; Center for International Trade, Technology, Education and Communication in Potsdam, N.Y.; Advanced Institute for Manufacturing at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y; Hudson Valley Technology Development Center in Newburgh, N.Y.; and Manufacturing and Technology Resource Consortium at Stony Brook University in Bethpage, N.Y.
Ruffing noted that the DEC's contract renewal for RIT will enable NYSP2I to continue its fervent focus on assisting companies and industries develop new technologies and practices that both prevent pollution and improve efficiency and productivity.
In 2007, the DEC received and evaluated proposals from various universities across the state to host the institute. After an extensive peer review process, a technical committee selected RIT, noting that its proposal was bolstered by solid agreements with other New York universities as well as regional technology development centers to build a research-sharing network.
An additional component of RIT's proposal included the creation of research and technology test beds–or technological laboratories–across the state through partnerships with universities and the MEP to help disseminate data, tools and strategy.
Pollution prevention is reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques and reusing materials rather than putting them into the waste stream.
RIT's university partners in NYSP2I represent a "dream team" of environmental experts ready to bring their expertise to continue improving the health and environmental quality of New York state.
"The Pollution Prevention Institute creates opportunities for Binghamton University experts to contribute to projects that will have a significant impact on society and on the lives of New Yorkers," said Bahgat Sammakia, vice president for research at Binghamton University, who added that the collaboration marks an exciting one for researchers there. "We're eager to bring our experience with industry partnerships and research in smart energy and sustainable communities to this consortium."
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. "We look forward to working together to reduce pollution in ways that both improve community health and establish New York businesses as leaders in environmental protection."
"It's been a great partnership to support the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute at RIT for the past 10 years," said Gina Lee-Glauser, vice president of research at Clarkson University. "Clarkson University continues to look forward to further cooperation for the advancement of New York, both environmentally and economically."
"On behalf of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I want to thank the State of New York and the Department of Environmental Conservation for re-designating the team led by the Rochester Institute of Technology to serve as the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute," said Robert Hull, Henry Burlage Jr. Professor of Engineering, director of the Center for Materials, Devices and Integrated Systems and senior associate vice president for research at RPI. "Rensselaer has a long history of addressing global challenges, conducting energy-related research, and collaborating with industry on advanced processes and manufacturing techniques to reduce environmental impact and enhance efficiency. We look forward to working with our academic and industry partners to ensure that NYSP2I remains an impactful and valuable asset for sustainability efforts throughout the state of New York."

High boots with sharp points are available in standard EUR sizes. If you select the size "made-to-measure", they will be manufactured according to this measurement chart. Please fill it in after you finish your order.
You can set the total shoe height (measured from the ground) of this model, so that it corresponds with the individual body height of the wearer. It is not advisable to choose a shoe height above 2” (5cm) below the kneecap. The maximum shoe height is usually about 19” (48 cm).
The shoes are treated with a balm containing beeswax. The shoes are made of genuine leather. You can treat them with various shoe care products. The balm softens the leather soft and waterproofs it. Moreover, it makes the leather darker. If you do not have the balm, you can also use oil for leather or a normal shoe polish. The shoe polish can easily tone the leather color and cover minor imperfections (e.g. scuffed shoe tips).

Details of the North Korea dictator's personal life are hard to come by, and that's by design: the country is notoriously secretive and its ruler, even more so. The strict control of information only adds to the fascination with the hermit kingdom's reigning family, and to this day, the nation's state-owned media has supposedly never mentioned if the dictator has children, according to Newsweek. But that cat's out of the bag, courtesy of a flamboyant former NBA star: in the past, Dennis Rodman revealed that Kim Jong Un does have kids. In fact, he claims that during a trip to the country, he even held one of them.
South Korea intelligence agencies and institutions have always kept tabs on their northern neighbor. Newsweek cites Cheong Seong Chang, a senior analyst at the Sejong Institute in Seoul, who confirmed that Kim has a wife, Ri Sol Ju, and that the two had been married since 2009, with their first child, a son, arriving in 2010. But knowledge that South Korean government officials seem to only be able to gather through spies came easily to someone else. After Rodman's visit in 2013, he told media outlets that he spent time with the dictator, his wife, and their baby daughter, whose existence was entirely unknown to the public.
"The Marshal Kim and I had a relaxing time by the sea with his family," Rodman said in 2013 to The Guardian. "We shared many meals and drinks where we discussed our plans to play a historic friendship basketball game between North Korea and the US as well as ways to develop their basketball team."
"I held their baby Ju-ae and spoke with Ms Ri [Sol-Ju, Kim's wife] as well. He's a good dad and has a beautiful family," Rodman added. "Kim told me, 'I'll see you in December.'"
Rodman's information has since been confirmed by other sources. One South Korean lawmaker later said he heard from his sources that the couple's first child was a boy, born in 2010, while the second was a daughter, born in 2013, CNN reported. Though information of the first child has been out for years, there has been no evidence or mention of the firstborn since.
The most recent report on Kim's family came in August, when South Korea's National Intelligence Service revealed that a third child was reportedly born in February 2017, according to CNN. South Korean government officials said the gender, exact birthday, and name of the new child was not known.
Kim, who is thought to be 34, is the third generation in his family to act as the ruler of North Korea. His grandfather, Kim Il Sung, was the first supreme ruler, when North Korea was established in 1948. When his grandfather died, his father, Kim Jong Il, took over power in 1994. Seventeen years later, Kim's father died in 2011, making Kim the youngest leader in the world, according to Newsweek.
Little is also known about Kim's wife, Ri. North Korea's first lady is believed to be around 28 years old and is reportedly from an upper-class family, with a father who was a professor and a mother who was a gynecologist, according to Business Insider. Ri received part of her education in China and traveled to South Korea for the 2005 Asian Athletic Championships as a part of North Korea's cheering squad, CNN reported. Ri was by Kim's side during his father's funeral in 2011, and that appearance led to wild speculation about her status, since Kim was not known to be married at the time. A year later, South Korean intelligence was able to confirm their marriage in 2009, according to CNN.
These bare minimum details only add to the intrigue surrounding North Korea's reclusive leader. But with the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Kim, a willingness to work together is apparent, and this unprecedented summit could be the gateway to a more transparent North Korea.

This week’s most recent episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. left us with a lot of un-answered questions, and one huge question answered; namely is Skye an inhuman? The answer is an unequivocal yes.
By the way, I couldn’t stand most of Season 1. I watched the first six or so episodes, but I detest “Monster of the Week” style shows even more than I love Joss Whedon. But my wife kept on watching and by the end of Season 1 she had gotten me onboard again. Season 2, I must say, is much better.
What follows is, obviously, some spoilers.
Just a brief recap: by the end of Season 1 we learn that agent Coulson was brought back to life using technology and some blood from a deceased Kree. In season 2 we learn that Skye having also been injected with this blood… serum… whatever does not seem to go crazy like Coulson and others did. Coulson surmises that this is because Coulson had a negative reaction to the serum whereas Skye’s body did not reject it.
The rest of the season is spent searching for a device called a “Diviner” and a lost alien city. Skye meets her father, who tries to convince her to use the Diviner to transform. Through a series of mishaps this happens, and Skye is trapped in a room holding the Diviner as the credits roll.
Pretty good cliffhanger. All season I’ve been waiting to find out what Skye was. It was quietly confirmed in December that Skye was in fact Quake, a character from the main Marvel Comic book Universe. The hint was from a Season 2 Episode “Ye who enter here” where Skye has a dream about someone singing to her the song “Daisy Bell”. Later on in the Series Skye’s father confirms that her name is in fact “Daisy”.
Last week’s episode “Aftershocks” shows the aftermath of Skye’s transformation. In short: she can create earthquakes.
I’ll be honest, I’ve not been that huge of a fan of Quake in the comics, so I had to do a bit of research. Quake is a superhuman who works for shield. Her father is the supervillain Mr. Hyde. As her moniker suggests, she has the power to create earthquakes.
Now originally it was assumed that Quake was a mutant. Her powers manifested without any known energy bombardment or drinking a serum or anything else external; they just emerged. This typically happens to mutants: some are born with their powers, others don’t get them until puberty (or their powers get worse).
Now, it’s possible that Zabo did earlier experimentation on himself on the road to becoming Hyde and that genetic damage was passed on to Daisy.
Or it’s possible that there’s more going on here than first meets the eye.
The point of this article is that, whatever Daisy Johnson is, in either the main comics universe or the MCU, she’s not a mutant.
No Mutants in the MCU?
Marvel is having a pretty big feud with Fox right now about the rights to X-Men. The X-Men are of course Mutants. Typically in the Marvel Universe, when a new superhuman shows up, most people assume this individual is a mutant until shown otherwise. This makes it easy for the creative team: you don’t need to come up with some “gamma ray” explanation every time you make a new superhuman.
However, the rights for X-Men give Fox the right to use a lot of characters who are mutants because they were associated with the X-Men in some way, as most mutants are eventually. Marvel is so mad at Fox that they are no longer allowing new X-Men to be created, and have completely cancelled Fantastic 4 to which Fox also owns the rights.
This creates a bit of a problem for Marvel. We know that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (both mutants) are appearing in the next Avengers film. Both are also key players in the Avengers mythology, so the choice makes a lot of sense. But do they have to be mutants?
Marvel could be using the Inhumans, another race of super-powered humans to take the creative place that genetic mutations do in the comic book universe. For the purposes of storyline this may not cause a huge problem in general: the MCU version of several superheroes may be Inhumans rather than mutants.
Keep in mind that none of the individuals in MCU are currently mutants. Their powers are either technological, alien, due to genetic manipulation, etc… but none until Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have been mutants.
The short version is that a group of aliens, the Kree (Ronan from Guardians of the Galaxy is a Kree) came to earth thousands of years ago and performed genetic experiment on our human ancestors. The Kree abandoned their test subjects, however, and went on to form their own society. The Inhumans are more technologically advanced than humans, and if exposed to Terrigen Mists will undergo a process called Terrigenesis giving them super powers.
Like mutants, their DNA is mutated. Like mutants, each individual gains different powers, some are changed physically, others in more subtle ways. Like mutants the Inhumans must learn to control their new powers.
Skye is an Inhuman. Her father is not. But what was her mother?
Skye’s mother has only been shown in flashbacks. She died shortly after Skye was born. I won’t go into the details of this as it’s a mostly separate storyline, but I do want to mention that Skye’s mother is portrayed by the incredible actress Dichen Lachman. She’s starred in Dollhouse, the 4th season of Torchwood and also in The 100.
We first see Jiaying, Skye’s mother, in a flashback shortly after the end of World War II. She is forced to touch a Diviner by Daniel Whitehall (a hydra operative) before he is captured. In 1989 he is released and his hydra connections bring her to him: un-aged. When I first saw this I assumed that she was either a mutant, or that she was herself an alien hybrid.
Whitehall harvested Jiaying’s organs and blood and transplanted them into himself to make him young because… science.
Last week’s episode opened with a scene in which Jiaying was comforting a recently transformed individual named Gordon. She then remarks to another man named Yat-Sen that although she aged slowly she was not immortal, and that there would need to be another who would help the recently transformed after they had been exposed to the mists. I wanted to write about this little easter egg right after I saw it, correctly assuming that Skye was in fact an Inhuman and not a mutant, but I didn’t have time.
Now a few things can be gleamed from this scene. Although both Jiaying and her companion appeared both to be of Chinese ethnicity, the boy they were helping in this scene was Caucasian. This is important because in the comics the Inhumans are a very closely regulated society rules by a king and overseen by a genetic council; this helps to prevent certain genetic lines breeding so much that they become out of control. We also know that Marvel is planning a film, Inhumans and we can presume that this film will follow the Attilan based Inhumans led by Black Bolt.
So then, is Jiaying a member of a rogue Inhuman clan that escaped the strictly controlled society of Attilan? Or is the MCU’s version of Inhumans a far less regulated society allowing interbreeding with regular humans.
This seems more likely. It appears that there are multiple Inhumans, or people with Inhuman traits, roaming around the world. We also know that Raina is another Inhuman; both her and Gordon were not of the same ethnicity as Jiaying and Yat-Sen, so it appears likely that rather than Jiaying being from a rogue tribe of Inhumans she was instead collecting them from around the globe and exposing them to the Terrigen Mists, or possibly finding them after they’ve been exposed. Either way, the Inhumans of the MCU appear to be much more widely spread than their comic book counterparts.
This theory will probably go nowhere but here goes. It may be that, in order for Marvel to avoid having Fox gain access to any newly created mutant characters that appear in the MCU (that ship has sailed for any that have appeared in the comics) Marvel is deciding that instead of most of the heroes being mutants they are Inhumans.
Probably not. I’m not sure how Marvel will explain Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch’s powers, but I doubt they’ll be Inhumans, or Mutants for that matter. That being said, the groundwork, Marvel is laying for the future of the MCU and the Inhumans film are leading me to believe that the MCU has some big plans for the Inhumans.

Hallam C. Shorrock, Jr., age 94, died in Claremont, California on August 8, 2018.
Reverend Shorrock was born December 1, 1923. He married Helen Savage Shorrock on June 6, 1947.
A native of Seattle, Washington and a proud graduate of the University of Washington, Hallum enlisted in the US Navy shortly after Pearl Harbor and served until 1945 as an ensign. While in the Navy, he was assigned to study Japanese at the Navy’s School of Oriental Languages in Boulder, Colorado. When World War II ended in September 1945, he decided to go to Japan as mission personnel.
After studying theology at Yale Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut, Hal was ordained by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He and his wife, Helen, were commissioned as mission co-workers to Japan in 1947 by the United Christian Missionary Society (UCMS), a predecessor mission body of Global Ministries. He and Helen spent their first years in Japan teaching at a Christian high school in Tokyo, and organizing Christian work camps where young volunteers from the United States and Asia helped Japan rebuild from the devastation of the war.
The couple was among the first U.S. mission personnel allowed into Japan during the U.S. occupation after World War II. Hal and Helen spent much of the next two decades as teachers and relief workers in Tokyo and Seoul, Korea before returning to the United States in 1969.
While in Tokyo during the late 1940s and early 1950s, Hallum Shorrock played a prominent role in postwar relief and refugee resettlement in the Asia region. He served for 16 years as a director of Church World Service in Japan and Korea and, from 1961 to 1963, in Geneva, Switzerland, as Asia Secretary of Interchurch Aid for the World Council of Churches. Japan’s Emperor Hirohito recognized his service in postwar Japan in 1954. In 1961, he was awarded a Public Welfare Medal by the President of South Korea, Yun Bo-seon. In 2006 he was awarded the Lux et Veritas Alumni Award by Yale Divinity school for his life’s work.
Hallum Shorrock’s 26 years of service in international higher education began in 1963, when he was named vice president for financial affairs at International Christian University in western Tokyo. In 1969, he became an associate director of the University of California’s Education Abroad Program in Santa Barbara, California, where he lived for more than 20 years.
In the late 1960s, Hallum Shorrock was known in the U.S. expatriate community in Tokyo as an outspoken critic of the U.S. war in Vietnam. In 1968, he helped organize a peace demonstration of about 250 American mission co-workers, educators, and students in front of the U.S. Embassy in Japan.
After Helen Shorrock died in 2001, Hal married Yasuko Fukada, the daughter of a Japanese pastor in Tokyo and teacher at the American School in Japan. She died in 2016.
At the time of his death, Hal was a resident of Pilgrim Place, a retirement community in Claremont, California, home for many retired clergy and mission personnel.
Known to his many grandchildren as “Bapa,” Hal took great joy and interest in the accomplishments of his large family. His children and grandchildren remember him for his knack for practical jokes, his fascination for board games like Monopoly and Scrabble, his passion for social justice, and his lifelong focus on humanitarian work. They also recall his deep love for sailing and the way he would relax by taking long distance drives—especially in his later years in his beloved Subaru.
Hallum also was predeceased by his brother, Charles “Chuck” Shorrock (Colleen) of Bremerton, Washington, in 2014.
Hallum Shorrock is survived by his five children: Karen Hayes of Davis, California; Tim Shorrock of Washington, DC; Terry Shorrock of Cranford, New Jersey, and his wife Georgia; Michael Shorrock of San Anselmo, California, and his wife Rosemary; Judy Fletcher of Davis and her husband Evan; 12 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and his sister Frances Shorrock of Claremont.
A celebration of Mr. Shorrock’s life was held on September 29, 2018 at Claremont United Church of Christ.
The family asks that donations be sent in Hallam Shorrock’s name to one of three institutions: Japan ICU Foundation, Yale University Divinity School Class of ’52 International Scholarship Fund, or Pilgrim Place.
Condolences to the family may be sent to Karen S. Hayes at 1720 Evergreen Ct. Davis, CA 95618 or Karenshayes@gmail.com.

Every Thanksgiving, we have to make a Banana Cream and a Coconut Cream pie for those who don’t think that they will live without it! This Recipe is still my favorite, after trying several different ones over the years. It’s simple to make and the pudding is creamy and delicious. If you are making banana cream Pie, simply toss your medium firm bananas into the pudding mixture. If you are making Coconut Cream pie, omit the bananas and add coconut or toasted coconut to the pudding. It’s as simple as that!
The Cream Cheese mixture is underneath!
In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt; stir in milk and mix well. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount into egg yolks; return all to saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Cook for and stir 2 minutes; remove from the heat. Add butter and vanilla; cool slightly.
Slice the bananas into pastry shell; pour filling over top. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and bananas. Yield: 6-8 servings.
*I like to add a Cream Cheese/powdered sugar base on top of the crust, then mix the bananas in with the pudding. Then I top with More Whipped Cream.
*Omit the Bananas If you are making Coconut Cream Pie, I use the same pudding recipe, but add 1 cup of Toasted Coconut to the pudding before pouring into the pudding. Let set in the refrigerator, then top with more Whipped Cream and Toasted coconut on the top.
Beat Cream Cheese until light and fluffy, then add the cool whip and the powdered sugar. Blend well, until creamy. Spread over the bottom of the crust only. Pour the pudding over this mixture.
* I like this base, because it keeps the crust from getting soggy.

Jordan Brand is scheduled to release a Radio Raheem colorway of the Air Jordan 2 in the early part of 2016. The shoe will come in a black leather upper with minimal color detailing on the side panels, tongue and eyelets. If you don’t like the Air Jordan 2 silhouette but you do like the colorway, there’s an alternative.
Up above we see the Air Jordan 1 Mid in the same Radio Raheem colorway that first appeared on the Air Jordan 2. This Air Jordan 1 Mid also comes with a black leather on the upper and Fire Pink detailing outlining the Swoosh and the ankle, on the Wings logo on the ankle and on the Jumpman branding on the tongue. Photo Blue then covers the inner liner as well as the outsole to add another punch of color to the shoe. Balancing things out a bit is a white midsole.
If you want to pay homage to Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing, this colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Mid can be found now at select retailers for $110.
Just like the Air Jordan 2, it’s hard to imagine how this shoe/colorway has any connection to Do The Right Thing or Radio Raheem. I wish Jordan Brand would give us a story behind these colorways instead of just leaving us to wonder what their inspiration is.

The whole of the Bourjois spring collection really catches my eye, some gorgeous bright colours in there! For now though, I have two polishes to show you. I will be checking out the rest of the collection when it's back in stock in my local Boots haha.
#25 is a milky pink coral with subtle shimmer that doesn't really translate onto the nail. This took me two coats for full opacity.
#26 is a light creamy lilac. Seeing a lot of these colour polishes floating around at the minute but this is an excellent example.
The coral one is quite nice! How much are they?

Now, more than ever, we are living in an entrepreneur's world. Oftentimes we find ourselves coming across new startups and ideas that pay, saying, "Why didn't we think of that?" Startups have the power to do that because they challenge the way we think - in a society of constant innovation and always-need-to-be-updated technology, things are changing more rapidly than they used to.
But now startups are also changing the way we eat. We've covered a slew of them: Ghost Food is a food truck that gives consumers a full experience of what food could look like once global warming takes a hold on crops; Fooda is creating opportunities for local restaurants to "pop up" in workplaces, acting almost as a virtual cafeteria; and Amazon's grocery delivery project Amazon Fresh is taking off in Seattle, L.A., and soon NYC. That doesn't even touch upon the bulk of them. But what really goes into a food startup? SF Gate reports on the subject - read more here.

Every time Robert Oster releases a new ink, I immediately put it on my wish list. I’ll admit I have a weakness for Almond Roca; every year hubby gets me some for Christmas, and Robert Oster Toffee reminds me of the toffee center. I purchased my bottle of ink from Pen Chalet.
Toffee is just that-a medium toffee brown, so the name is fitting.
In large swabs the ink appears almost black, but doesn’t actually sheen.
Toffee is closest to Akkerman SBRE Brown, but they aren’t an exact match. It has more orange than Caffe Crema does, but is darker than Campfire. Click here to see the Robert Oster inks together, and click here to see the brown inks together.
I used a Pelikan M800 Renaissance Brown with a medium nib on Tomoe River paper. The ink had an average flow, maybe just a touch dry.
Overall, it’s another nice ink from Robert Oster. I like the color and it has some pretty shading but the dry time is a bit long at 50 seconds.

After The Flash‘s excellent pilot episode, how did the season three premiere of Arrow compare?
After a bit of a rough and cheesy opening sequence, the show quickly got back into the swing of things, and shaped up to be a solid opening episode for this new season of Arrow. While the first action scene helped to set up the “monster of the week” for the episode, it had a few cheesy moments, namely excessive acrobatics from Oliver and Roy, that really distracted me with it’s cheap theatrics.
Thankfully the action quickly dies down and we’re introduced to what’s been happening since we last saw our vigilante friends. Five months have passed since last season’s events, and a lot has changed. Oliver, once a wealthy Bruce Wayne clone, is now flat broke, unable to even pay Diggle or Felicity, with the latter having to take a job at a generic tech store to make ends meet. It’s an interesting element, that not only provides a few laughs as Felicity attempts to track criminals whist simultaneously deal with customers, but also introduces the conflict of Oliver trying to regain control of his family’s company, Q Consolidated. Ollie’s attempt to convince his former board of trustees to bring him back is thwarted by the smooth-talking, forward-thinking Ray Palmer, a new character played by someone familiar with DC Comic characters, Brandon Routh, who is most famous for his title role in Superman Returns.
Palmer seems like he’ll be an excellent addition to the cast, as he’s sharp and witty, finally providing someone to keep up with Felicity’s constant jokes. Palmer has also expressed an interest in Felicity working for him, although his intentions both with her and Q Consolidated have yet to be revealed. A romantic interest with Felicity could bring a complicated love triangle, as this episode also saw a blossoming relationship between her and Oliver, something teased near the end of last season. Further complications could also arise, as Felicity had an interest in Barry Allen, aka The Flash, prior to his coma, and given the intended crossover elements planned for both shows – and Barry’s brief appearance in this episode – he’s now awake and ready for action.
The Lance family also returned with a bang. Detective Lance survived his heart attack from last season, and has been promoted to Captain, thus removing him from danger. Naturally he gets into some trouble, and risks his health, something I imagine we’ll see happening a lot over the next 20 or so episodes this season. Laurel has embraced Oliver’s need to be the Arrow, and has established a healthy working relationship with him – he catches the crooks, she gets them convicted. Sara Lance, makes a surprise appearance near the end of the episode, and provides the much needed kick the episode needed when, after saying goodbye to Oliver and Laurel, she is confronted by a mysterious archer, who puts a few arrows in her gut, launching her over the edge of a building to fall to her death right in front of her sister.
Given the use of the Lazarus Pit previously in the show for members of the League of Shadows, I wouldn’t rule out Sara’s return entirely, but we all knew that eventually Laurel would need a reason to take over the Black Canary mantle. We also only get a brief glimpse of who attacked her, so I assume this may be the key villain for the season. I hope this is the case, as the main villain for this episode came from character actor Peter Stormare, but the role was generic – simply a version of last season’s Vertigo villain mashed up with Batman’s Scarecrow. While Stormare was fine, the use of the villain and plot related were definitely the weakest elements of last night’s premiere, and simply existed to tie the meat of the show – the characters – together.
Other smaller details we got to see was Roy Palmer as a full-fledged member of Arrow’s team, serving as a partner/sidekick now. Thea is briefly mentioned as having been travelling since Moira Queen’s death, and Roy clearly is tense about her not being present in Starling City. Roy is also clearly used more to take over the action previously seen by Diggle, as Diggle becomes a father in this episode, and Oliver asks that he no longer dives head first into danger.
Overall this was a solid season premiere. It had a few hammy moments, but did some great work with the characters, set up some neat ideas for the season, and had a huge surprise with the death of Sara. It wasn’t as strong or as fun as The Flash pilot, but I’m glad Arrow is back – traditionally each season starts slow and ramps up, so I expect nothing less from the coming episodes.

You may have noticed that ariabook / artbook prices are slightly higher compared to the official price list. There is a good reason for this.
Over the years QT offer grew and we have added new cover options like leather, silks or various cover personalizations. Every one of this options has its own pricing and, frankly, it's too complicated for us, you and your client.
Time to make it simple!
Base number of spreads in all lay flat products like AriaBook, ArtBook, LittleQT, DuoBook will now start with 10 spreads = 20 pages.
Our records show that albums with plain cover are just 5% of all orders. If that's the case, easy pricing scheme should include personalization as standard. On top of that, every personalization used to have a different price. That's confusing.
To uncomplicate that, we have decided to merge down most cover upgrades into one simple flat $50 fee included in the base price.
Within this fee, you can choose any number of upgrades. In most cases, this will be a huge money saver for you.
Now all you have to consider is the cost generated by extra spreads and options like matching box, should you wish it to match your books cover.
Premium Silk + Embossing. Previous cost $30 + $20 = $50, Now 50$. No savings.
Premium Pastel + Overprint. Previous cost $25 + $20 = $45, Now 50$. No savings.
Genuine Leather + Embossing. Previous cost $50 + $30 = $80, Now 50$. You save $20.
Previously: All options were paid on upgrades, various pricing.
AriaBooks may overwhelm you with the number of versions.
Standard or Plus type? Slim, Regular or Thick Page thickness? Various amount of page limits and cover options? Is the presentation box included or not? That's a lot to process. We can make it easier, and we did in this version of QT store.
There is only one AriaBook, which starts with 10 spreads and comes with the new beautiful basic cardboard box.

Barnes Coaches stands to save £50,000 in fuel costs by using TomTom fleet management technology to improve driver performance. The Swindon based travel operator is using performance monitoring tools to encourage a safer, more efficient driving style and reduce idling time by 15 per cent.
These benefits and savings are in addition to a £10,000 reduction in insurance premiums after the company’s insurance broker, Giles Insurance’s Steve Price, recognised the TomTom system as a tool that would significantly reduce road risk.
Barnes has introduced TomTom technology, including the LINK tracking unit and ecoPLUS, to 35 vehicles across its coach fleet. The system provides monthly reports on mpg, idling time, and harsh breaking and steering, allowing the development of league tables and performance profiles for their drivers.
Using the TomTom system has also improved productivity and customer service. Real-time visibility of vehicle location means Barnes can identify the most appropriate driver for each job and provide customers with accurate times of arrival.

For production to be efficient, inputs have to be used in proportion to their relative scarcity. In commercial fisheries, private producers turn to market mechanisms for allocating capital and manpower. This is not the case, however, for the resource as long as access is open and free. Under such conditions, the resource value is not taken into account in allocating production factors. Resources are used as though they were inexhaustible.
As long as resources were considered not constraining, the need for rationing their use was less critical. Crises caused by local over-capacities could be overcome by redeploying boats and people. Since extensification contributed to economic growth and social stability, national administrations supported it through the provision of subsidies, even though guarantees of access would have often been as effective and cheaper.
If access is not regulated, the value taken by a resource that becomes scarce - for instance, as in agriculture, the resource rent - accrues initially to producers. This surplus comes, after salaries and capital costs are covered, over and above the ordinary profit of enterprises. The normal profit corresponds to risk coverage and to gains in productivity derived from managerial skill, assimilation of technological innovations, and adoption of new marketing policies. Producers can only increase or maintain their share of the surplus by increasing their fishing capacities.
Unfortunately, the limited nature of the resource makes the process perverse. Sooner or later, fishing capacities become excessive relatively to resource productivity. First, the rent is dissipated, then the resource is overfished, finally negative interactions and conflicts become pervasive. In the long run, the state and performances of fisheries tend to deteriorate even further since rise in fish price, technological innovations, and improved knowledge on fish distribution all combine in their effect to enhance the rent value.
It is, therefore, not the limited nature of the resources that causes the deterioration of fisheries. Vineyards producing vintage wines are also scarce. This does not prevent them from being well-managed, nor their exploitation from being efficient. In fisheries, it is the institutions that regulate access which are deficient. Their shortcomings were revealed by the emergence of scarcity on a global scale. Because of the interrelationships between the institutional, economic, and biological factors of overfishing, approaches limited to resource conservation - i.e., those which neglect to develop the institutions required for regulating the economic forces and enhancing the economic performances of fisheries - have the best chances of remaining ineffective. Today, progress in fisheries depends essentially on the adoption of institutional innovations for management. Increasing gross output is not the unique way to generate wealth.
Under the property regimes in force in fisheries, the current deficiencies of allocation mechanisms can schematically be outlined as follows: In customary, pre-merchant systems, both resource allocation and wealth distribution were effected through the social structure of the groups. Everywhere, such systems have fallen, or are falling, into disuse as rural groups are penetrated by the exchange economy. With the search for economic growth, a rationality of horizontal integration based on exchange between individuals aiming at maximizing their own profit is gradually substituted to the rationality of vertical integration within self-sufficient, unspecialized groups, whose economy gave priority to reproduction rather than to individual accumulation. As their economy changed, the social organization that structured the groups disintegrates.
Though customary systems can help in understanding the conditions for optimizing extensive uses of ecosystems, with proper adaptations and consolidations - notably the formal recognition of collective use rights - they could provide transitory solutions indispensable for mitigating social distresses, but their compatibility with the market economy is doubtful.
The exhaustion of extensification opportunities has also affected the capability of administrations to manage fisheries effectively. They no longer have to distribute subsidies, but do have to halt expansion and to cut down fishing capacities. For that task, administrative mechanisms are seriously ineffective. Because they do not integrate the economic forces that generate overfishing, they cannot make the short-term, individual allocation decisions that are needed, even when they succeed, at considerable costs, in preventing biological overfishing. On the basis of biological and economic information collected for that purpose, governments are well capable of elaborating coherent plans for rational resources utilization. But planning does not say how to distribute fixed amounts of exclusive use rights to best performing producers.
To be operative, economic (market) systems also require adequate property regimes. When access is free, the value of the resource, i.e., the resource rent, is not used together with wages and interest, to balance manpower and capital inputs with resource productivity. In the absence of adequate property regimes, the resource rent cannot be assimilated to a mere producer's surplus, nor the resource to a capital. The resource rent is not a monopoly rent, it is not generated by property but by natural scarcity. It exists, at least potentially, and exerts its effects independently of the identity and status - public or private - of the owner. In addition to enabling the use of the resource rent in the economic mechanism of allocation, the property regime determines who gets it. More generally, property enables the reduction in spillovers that affect the costs or benefits of producers or consumers, either individually or jointly. Compared to occupation and possession, property enables one to dispose of resources, goods, or services as one pleases, that is, at the exclusion of the others - and in a lawful fashion, according to rules that are accepted and enforced by the group.
Under a functional property regime, the resource rent is separated from the ordinary profit of the enterprises. Performances of fishermen become independent of the number and activity of other producers engaged in the same fisheries, or from the natural, productivity of different fish stocks. Producers' rate of profit is equalized, and balancing inputs and resource productivity is made easier, also the resource rent can materialize. Mobility of people and capital, both within and between fisheries, as well as among competing uses of the resources, or with other sectors of the economy, is improved. Since efficient producers can make better offers for acquiring fishing rights, assimilation of technological innovations that lead to effective economic gains is stimulated.
This functional relationship between property and allocation is not specific to market mechanisms. It applies to other allocation schemes as well. Traditional management systems cannot function effectively without the formal recognition of collective exclusive rights over the resources. A system based on command also requires that duties and powers of decision are clearly distributed within the hierarchical structure, as well as between units in charge of promoting development and those responsible for management. The new ocean regime gives an illustration of this point. It was only when the extension of national jurisdictions was accepted that controlling the amount of (foreign) fishing and negotiating fishing agreements became feasible.
- the trophic relationships among species making up ecosystems.
Because of resource jointness, performances of individual fishermen are directly affected by the number and activity of other fishermen and users of the same resources. To regulate the production function, interventions at scales higher than the fishing company or the fisher group - that is encompassing sets of resources and fleets sufficiently large to control the fishing regime effectively - are therefore needed. For that purpose, boundaries of management units have to match loci of minimal interactions among fisheries. This is usually possible since resources are structured into discrete species and populations, and fleets can be distinguished by their target species, gear, operating range, and fishing strategies. The objective being operational, the delimitation of fisheries or management units has to be pragmatic. It needs to match the structure and economic importance of the fisheries, as well as the administrative and research capacities that are available.
Other processes of higher scales may justify interventions at higher levels e.g., for sharing the production of stocks jointly exploited in two, or more, unit fisheries, or for controlling pollution and other interactions among different uses of ecosystems. The larger the number of uses to be managed simultaneously, the more space remains - the only dimension through which controls can be effected.
Resource jointness has another important consequence. The resource can seldom be allocated directly among fishermen. But quantitative fishing rights can be attributed through controls on harvests (quotas) or means of production (licences). The use of one or the other (or of both) surrogate(s) will depend on the biological and technical features, and the economic and social structure of particular fisheries, as well as on the available administrative and research capacities. Where they can be implemented, catch quotas may facilitate a separate control of capital and manpower inputs, and of resource use, that is, the distinction between resource exploitation and management (see below).
Resource variability also affects institutions. For highly fluctuating stocks, the future value of the resource rent may be difficult to forecast, and the resulting uncertainty may reduce the effectiveness of economic mechanisms of allocation. Governments are expected to intervene when stocks collapse. The allotment, for undetermined periods of time, of fixed catch quotas may not be feasible, unless part of the overall annual yield is kept in reserve and allocated through other means in years of above-average recruitment.4 Fine tuning the fishing rate to offset short-term resource fluctuations through the manipulation of a tax on vessels or catches is not operationally feasible, nor politically acceptable as taxes have to be raised in years when fishermen's revenues are dwindling.
- schemes where resource harvesting and management are administered separately at two different levels by different entities, and then articulated through the allocation mechanism.
Traditional fisher communities, state-owned fishing companies, and cartels are examples falling under the first category. With sets of adequate dimensions, overall fishing inputs can, in theory, be matched to resource productivity. In practice, these solutions present limitations. Usually, coastal communities exploit jointly a variety of stocks. When exploitation has to be rationed, interventions at a higher level become necessary to harmonize the fishing activities of neighbouring groups.
Under the second category, the management and exploitation functions are conducted separately. Space and time-scales of resource management are strong technical arguments in favour of a regime of state property of the resources. They are not the only ones. Because of interactions between unit fisheries as well as among ecosystems uses, and because several fishery resources can be exploited by groups which cannot always compete, immediately at least, under the same regime (small-scale and large-scale fishermen, domestic and foreign fleets), administrations frequently have to make allocation decisions between major fishery units and fisher groups.6 Also, the classic economic argument put forward in agriculture, which states that public ownership of land can facilitate the investment of the resource rent in activities contributing directly to the development of national economies - rather than its immediate consumption or hoarding - and stimulate technological innovations and efficiency in harvesting activities, is also valid in fisheries, especially in developing countries with large resources at their disposal. Since their economies are less diversified, resource rents, which can be considerable,7 are the major source of investment they use to develop their infrastructures, human resources and new industries.
A regime of private property by the State recognizes that harvesting is generally a private - even if collective - activity whose economic performances depends on the capacity to ration, i.e. on exclusion. Such a regime distinguishes fisheries from pure public property resources, goods or services (e.g., justice, or defence) where exclusion of nationals is not acceptable, or from resources where rationing is not necessary, for example, urban lighting.
5. monitoring that harvesting is conducted according to contracts.
This distinction between resource management and harvesting implies that rights attributed to fishing companies or fisher groups are only temporary rights of use (tenancy), and not property rights. Governments can allocate such rights through economic (market) mechanisms. To determine their price, they can rely on the market (public auction), or use criteria of their own to fix the level of royalties. In the latter case, however, they will encounter serious difficulties in adjusting the amount of rights to the optimum level. If the price is low, they will have to use discretionary decisions whose political limitations have already been underlined. However, when extracting a substantial part of the rent, royalty schemes (on catches or fishing capacities) can reduce overinvestment significantly and, thus, improve the state of resources and the economic performances of fisheries, while providing funds to cover management costs.
Thus, a private property regime of the resources by the State is compatible with an economic mechanism (market) for allocating use rights to private producers. Under such a regime, access remains open but not free, while with an administrative rationing of entry, access is free but not open. Governments can allocate collective concessions to fisher groups, notably those handicapped by history (lower geographic and professional mobility), or enjoying anteriority privileges over certain resources. Usually, large-scale and small-scale fisheries will require different institutional setups to reflect differences in their economic and social organization.
It is especially when changes in property regime are envisaged, that a demonstration of their general interest will seldom suffice to make institutional reforms acceptable. Certain groups, losing in the change or fearing to do so, will strongly oppose changes. Fishermen are likely to show little enthusiasm for a clarification of the property regime, even though a distinction between a state property of the resources and private tenancy rights would not depart significantly from regimes encountered in pre-merchant rural communities.
Under current institutions, fisheries administrations and industry have strong incentives to maintain the status quo.
However, compensations can make institutional changes more acceptable, accepting that anteriority in the participation to fisheries entails certain privileges. Most countries that started to regulate access in their domestic fisheries allotted initial fishing rights on the basis of fishermen's past historical performances. Effects of new institutions on wealth distribution have to be anticipated. Special dispositions may have to be taken for underprivileged groups. But the fact that risk of inequity is always latent is no justification for no action. Jurisdictions in force are not necessarily equitable. If law is not justice, there is no justice without law.
Under a regime of private property by the State and a market mechanism for allocation, fishermen's major gain will consist in a reduction of uncertainty.8 As overfishing lowers, resource variability, risk of stock collapse, and conflicts will go down. By abating competition for the resource, guarantee of access matched to amortization time of investments and manpower mobility would enable fishermen and the industry to plan their activities more efficiently. They would be in a better position to defend their rights against other uses of marine resources. But their average revenues will remain determined by their opportunity costs - that is, by the state of other sectors of national economy - and the normal profit of enterprises. The resource rent would accrue to the State which could use it, first to cover the management costs, then for the development of national economy. The net gainers, that is tax payers, should consider fisheries management more positively. The task of the fishery administration will be facilitated as resource allocation will be easier, the rate of fishing lower, and conflicts the exception rather than the rule. Enforcement will be easier and cheaper, and environmentalists' assessment of fisheries may improve, also research could devote its scarce resources to more innovative kinds of investigations. The demand for it will be enhanced since the normal profit of fishing companies can be temporarily increased by better information on the resources and technological innovations.
The mandate, membership, and rules and regulations of management structures depend on the property regime and allocation mechanism that are adopted. Since the latter change with the fisheries, no standard model can be proposed, however, general principles can be put forward.
1. The progress of fisheries depends essentially on interventions on resource management at the level of fishery units. Typologies of fisheries are needed to delineate management units.
2. Since world fishery resources are heavily concentrated within the areas of national jurisdiction and management units are, on average, smaller than the EEZs, coastal countries and, within them national administrations, have a direct and major responsibility for the revision of management institutions.
a. Clear distinction: public management by an administrative structure responsible for assessing and monitoring the state of fisheries, and relying on market mechanisms to determine rental rates and allocating temporary, quantitative fishing rights to private producers. Such a scheme is more likely to be adopted, initially, in large-scale, capitalistic fisheries.
b. Partial distinction: concerted (or co-) management by structures in which fisheries administrations and elected representatives of fishermen would collaborate. Such structures are likely to encounter difficulties, and to show inefficiencies, similar to those experienced in agricultural cooperatives when the social and economic principles on which they are run are not properly clarified. Such a scheme may represent a transitory, but unavoidable, stage in the development of management institutions.
c. Low distinction: collective (private) management by groups of fishermen, or companies, to whom exclusive collective rights of use are granted over a given resource, for a fixed but renewable period of time (traditional groups, cartels).
4. By dissociating wealth distribution aspects from participation in harvesting, economic mechanisms - with adequate property regimes promote efficiency in exploitation and effectiveness in management. They further technological innovations that lead to efficiency, and could provide substantial rents for the development of South economies. They would reduce the political burden of administrations.
5. With the reduction of international dimensions of fisheries management that came with the extension of national jurisdictions, a partial transfer of management duties to lower administrative levels (e.g., province) can be envisaged. At lower levels, the importance of fisheries relative to other economic sectors is better appreciated, and communication among parties concerned by management facilitated.9 More generally, all fisheries units need not be administered at the same level (local, provincial, national, or regional). The essential requirement is that the level matches the geographic extension of unit fisheries. Different levels are compatible.
1. Where stocks are entirely distributed within areas of national jurisdiction, there is no need to maintain or create international structures for their management. Where two, or more, coastal States share the same stocks, where stocks extend over EEZs and the high seas, and for highly migratory species (United Nations 1991), the need for regional cooperation in management remains largely unchanged.
2. Participation in the management of shared, straddling, and high-seas stocks depends on the property regime of the resources. For shared stocks totally circumscribed within a set of EEZs, resource property and management responsibility coincide; participation in management is closed and determined by ownership (exclusion). This is not the case for straddling and high-seas stocks; property is common; exclusion in harvesting is not acceptable, only reduction of catches; responsibility for management falls primarily on fishing nations and coastal countries in the area of jurisdiction of which such stocks occur.
4. Progress in the management of straddling stocks extending marginally in the high seas depends also on the clarification of their property regime, or on a distinction between ownership and harvesting. The property issue is essentially a political one. Its technical aspects do not differ significantly from those on which the principles of the UN 1982 Convention were developed.
5. In the absence of exclusion in the harvesting of high-seas stocks, changes in the mandate, and improvement in the performances of regional management bodies are unlikely. The need for rationing harvesting is less urgent for stocks, e.g., several stocks of oceanic tunas, whose exploitation is still constrained by demand rather than by supply.
6. Progress in resource conservation is possible through political processes that lead to the banning of a particular fishing activity (e.g., moratorium on whaling, or of pelagic netting). Such an approach can be justified as a temporary measure until the conditions and tools for rational exploitation are developed. However, by itself it cannot provide long-term solutions and should not, therefore, be generalized. Man cannot stop using natural resources, but needs to develop institutions and practices for their wise and efficient utilization.
7. As uses of aquatic ecosystems intensify and diversify, the development of methods and the conduct of analyses integrating the effects of fishing, sea-ranching programmes, harvesting of juveniles from wild populations for aquaculture purposes, pollution of various origins, and climatic variability, on the structure, abundance, and productivity of exploited or altered ecosystems, become urgent. The ability to manage effectively exploited fish populations and to conserve aquatic ecosystems depends on the capacity to discriminate and quantify the different causes of variation - including the natural ones. Regional bodies with competence over the various uses of aquatic ecosystems - but separately for analysis and action - are needed, especially for closed or semi-closed seas surrounded by densely populated and highly industrialized areas such as the Mediterranean.
The origin of the poor performances of fisheries - including the in efficiency of resource conservation - has been located in the deficiencies of the conventional institutions regulating access. It is not economics that has to be reconciled with ecology, but institutions that need to be adjusted to the new conditions of resource scarcity. There is no objective reason to oppose exploitation and conservation. Since the latter conditions the former, objectives of economic efficiency and resource preservation are compatible. Man needs to use and preserve the biosphere equally.
The new ocean regime represents an important step towards the adjustment of institutions to the new conditions. If it has had little effect so far, on the management of high-seas fisheries, the clarification of the international property regime of neritic resources has created new opportunities for the management of domestic fisheries. But, this step alone is insufficient, it has to be completed by new national property regimes, allocation mechanisms, and management structures. Wherever applicable, economic mechanisms of allocation can improve considerably performances of resource harvesting and management.
The space and time scales of processes that can be regulated have a great significance for the design of the new institutions. They are critical for determining the levels of intervention and, for that reason, have direct implications on the functional sharing of duties between the private and the public sectors. They are equally critical for determining the nature and contents of the property regimes, the kinds of allocation mechanisms, and the mandate, membership, and rules and regulations of management bodies. A large number of combinations of property regimes, allocation mechanisms, management structures, supports for fishing rights, and economic organization of fisheries can be envisaged. But the choice for particular fisheries is low. Furthermore, the development of institutions has to go step by step, following sequences that can be assimilated by, and are acceptable in, specific fisheries.
iv. the management institutions that match their specific features.
Of the various levels of intervention in the production function today, the fishery unit is the most critical. Progress in economic performances and effective conservation depends primarily on the regulation of unit fisheries or their equivalent. Because the scales of resource management and harvesting differ, they will have to be regulated separately in a majority of fisheries. Property regimes and allocation mechanisms can articulate these two functions in an effective and efficient manner.
4. the task of revising legislations regulating an economic activity falls under the responsibility of national governments.
One should not infer, however, from the emphasis put on national and public levels that potentially useful interventions are restricted to such levels. On the one hand, private producers are generally in a better position to optimize harvesting in commercial fisheries. On the other hand, there would be benefit in managing certain fisheries at provincial or even lower levels, whereas others, extending beyond national boundaries, have to be regulated at regional level.
The emphasis put on institutions for economic and social development is not fisheries-specific. Today, the most serious issues that puzzle our society, e.g., the conservation of the biosphere, the state of traditional groups in rural areas, the underdevelopment of countries in the South, coincide with sectors of activity and groups in their first contacts with technologically and economically advanced sectors of activity. Traditional societies and sectors are actually damaged by such contacts as long as they have not themselves developed the institutions which they need in order to benefit from the market economy. As communication and exchange intensify, such societies and sectors have less and less time to adjust to a faster and faster changing environment.
The fishery system can provide a useful model for analysing the broader issue of environmental conservation or protection. Even though ecosystems and the regulation of their uses are markedly more complex, and interventions at higher scales justified by the space and time extension of certain processes (e.g., acid rains, global warming), the natural and institutional constraints affecting environmental conservation and fisheries management are similar: resource scarcity, jointness, variability and geographic extension; interference of man-made effects and natural variability; deficiencies of institutions for regulating access whence natural capacities are saturated. Because the fisheries production function is simpler and better known, and because commercial fisheries are a source of quantitative information with hardly any parallel in other uses of ecosystems, the potential value of the fishery model goes beyond the conservation of fish stocks and the economic optimization of their harvesting. It can contribute to the development of general principles and strategies of broader applicability for the wiser and more efficient use of the biosphere.
1. This paper has been written by the author in his personal capacity. Therefore, the ideas it contains are not necessarily those of FAO, UNDP, or the Moroccan Ministry of Fisheries, and cannot commit those administrations.
2. i.e., the fishing rate - and the fishing capacities which generate it - and its distribution relative to that of the species and sizes making up the stock.
3. With the notable exception of Japan, which may be related to the later development of long-distance fisheries in this country.
4. Which is a palliative, and not a solution.
5. Periodic tenders can be used to maintain competition and open access.
6. Administrations are regularly making short-term allocation decisions among individuals within fishing groups. They encounter considerable difficulties in this task. At the same time, governments do not always give proper attention to long-term allocation decisions among groups, although such decisions require public interventions.
7. e.g., US$ 250 millions (1986) for the Moroccan cephalopod fishery alone (Bertignac et al. 1989).
8. The fishermen's opportunistic behaviour is largely related to the universe of uncertainty in which they operate.
9. It is not without reasons that several island states are among countries where substantial progress in management has been accomplished.
10. However, there are other differences: e.g., the stock is exploited ashore, which facilitates control.

An interesting report prepared by Professor Rainer Lagoni for the International Committee on the Exclusive Economic Zone of the International Law Association explains that the concept of "Joint Development" has been used in relation to "the cooperation between States with regard to the exploration for and exploitation of certain deposits, fields or accumulations of non-living resources, which either extend across a boundary or lie in an area of overlapping claims." (Lagoni 1988) These arrangements can include or not a mechanism for the joint management of such resources, but they will always involve some degree of cooperation among the States concerned. Eventually the joint management can also be undertaken by private operators in the context of "unitization" of deposits or other contractual arrangements.
A good number of these arrangements have been made in connection with existing boundaries, while a few others are devised in the context of a delimitation process, and still others originate in situations where delimitation is pending. (Lagoni 1988) In turn, the jurisdictional models to be followed can also be numerous, ranging from a territorial model to forms of condominium and eventually to an "open-use" model. More often, however, jurisdictional models of a functional type will be used, either by means of ensuring shared or joint jurisdiction, consortium models, or models relying on the operation of institutional mechanisms. (Orrego Vicu�a 1988) The practice which will be examined next reveals a combination of jurisdictional criteria organized on a rather pragmatic basis.

Ron Shaich, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Panera, decided to take on the SNAP Challenge and blog about it. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the federally-funded program more commonly known as "food stamps." It allocates an average $31.50 a week, or $4.50 a day, to people who need assistance purchasing food. Participants in the SNAP Challenge attempt to spend no more than $31.50 on food for a week. I do not doubt that Shaich's intentions are good, especially given his company's work on Panera Cares, but the SNAP challenge is a bad way to raise awareness about hunger and inequality in America. Rather than challenging people to live like those on food stamps, we need to start listening to those for whom food insecurity is a pressing issue and challenge of daily life.
The SNAP Challenge is centered on the assumption that the experience of wealthy individuals engaging in an artificial state of poverty trumps the stories of those who actually are actually poor and hungry. Shaich explains he underwent the challenge because "it is critical that I understand this problem in a deep and personal way." However, he will not gain a "deep and personal" understanding of the effects of hunger. Rather, he will gain a shallow, imperfect understanding of it.
The effects of long-term hunger and food insecurity are far and wide. Long-term food insecurity impacts a person's health, especially that of children. Participants in the SNAP Challenge cannot possibly experience the physical and psychological symptoms this condition entails. Furthermore, the short duration of the challenge prevents participants from experiencing the perpetual fear caused by not knowing whether one or one's family will have enough or any food to eat.
At the end of any given week, those who receive assistance from SNAP are not magically able to start spending more on food. Rather, they face another week of hunger, and then another. And then yet another. And then add on another. And then maybe two more.
Instead of taking the SNAP Challenge, wealthy people such as Shaich and members of Congress, should use their privilege and influence to share the stories of people on SNAP. Instead of treating the SNAP Challenge like a short experiment, people with power should recognize first and foremost that food insecurity is a constant reality for almost 48 million people in the United States. We need to stop believing that choosing to experience hunger for one week is in any way comparable to the systemic problems that create chronic hunger. Until we learn to trust the voices of the oppressed, we will never be able to dismantle oppression.

HomeWhat Does a Hearing Aid Cost?
What does a hearing aid cost? At the moment, nobody really knows.
We’ve heard anecdotally about cheaper hearing aids, more places to buy them, non-traditional hearing aids, and unprecedented insurance coverage. Hearing Tracker, HLAA and I put together this survey to see if we could spot some trends.
Please fill out this survey so we have a better idea about the state of the business. Hearing Tracker will report on the results in a few weeks.
Hearing aid pricing survey is the first of its kind. HLAA + Katherine Bouton joint effort.
← For Better Care for Older Adults, Think Hearing Loss.
Product: Liberty Engage 32 Channel from Sams Club 2 units one for each ear.
I am not satisfied with the performance of these units. But went along with unsuccessful remedies until they finally were out of warranty in regards to a refund of purchase price.
Please do fill out the survey — We need to have this information quantified so that we can get a better idea of how much is anecdote and how much is a verifiable trend.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. Was there an audiologist involved in the purchase.
A technician but not an audiologist involved.
Maybe we should define audiologist?
Finding the right hearing aid for me, and a price I could pay, has been one of the most frustrating things I have ever done. Hearing aids don’t seem to be regulated by anyone, my insurance was pretty much useless, it seemed all the providers wanted was to make money and only sell me the top of the line product, even if I didn’t need it. FINALLY I found an audiologist who took the time to tell me about the different kinds and levels of hearing aids so I could make an informed choice. For the time being, I have purchased Costco’s own Kirkland brand with the 6 month guarantee I can return it for all of my money back…for ANY reason! Seemed like a good place to start as a new user.
Unfortunately, this is all too common a story. I hope hearing aid information and pricing are beginning to be a bit more transparent. Hope you filled out the survey. That info is important.
I did fill out the survey. Thanks.
I have sever to profound loss and replaced my 8 year old hearing aids about 6 months ago. As in the past I went to Costco. Fortunately the Costco I purchased from had an audiologist on staff and I was very pleased with the whole process. I purchased resound Cala’s with Bluetooth. 6 month return and 3 year warrantee. I paid $2,600 for the pair and molds were $40.00 each.
Thanks Joe. Please share that information via the survey because it’s very important in our count. I’ve heard about a lot of good experiences at Costco.
Some of us including me thought the comment section was the survey. I have since found them survey and forwarded it.
Oh, thank you for pointing that out. I’ll edit it to make it clearer.
part about prices and insurance coverage.
As an audiologist, I for one try to help patients find a solution to help with their hearing loss that will provide them the best technology possible for their lifestyle and budget. Would I like to see everyone be able to have the top of the line instruments with the most aggressive noise reduction features, most channels for speech clarity, and connectivity? Absolutely! But I also know not every patient can afford those hearing instruments. My goal is to help people hear and in order to do that, I must offer various devices in different price ranges. On so many posts about hearing aids, there is one common theme that seems to be left out of the equation when it comes to “what do hearing aids cost?” People need to remember it has taken 8-10 years of research and development for those devices which continues to evolve as we learn more about how the brain interprets sounds and processes that information to make sense of the conversation. The cost also includes the overhead of the facility, staff, insurance, equipment, etc. Then there is the costs the audiologist (or hearing instrument specialist) incurs with office over head (rent, electricity, phone lines, internet, supplies, equipment, computers, staff salaries, advertising, postage, health insurance, liability insurance, clearing house for billing insurance, fighting denied insurance claims, shipping costs from manufacturers, the cost of the hearing aids, warranties and repairs, and the list goes). It costs money to run a business. A business cannot survive if a profit is not made. A business cannot survive if services are given away for free.
Thanks Lori, it’s good to have that perspective here. I love my audiologist and I”m pretty fond of my hearing aid and cochlear implant too — but I’m lucky enough to have a good audiologist near me, and to be able to pay for $3000 hearing aids every few years. (My insurance paid for the C.I.).)This survey is an attempt to get a real life sampling of what people are buying as more options become available. Many in the hearing-loss world would love it if audiologists were not so tied to hearing aid sales in order to make a living. Auditory rehab is very important for many getting hearing aids for the first time or as their hearing loss worsens. Right now it’s not economically viable for most audiologists to offer that. But it would be great for everyone — audiologists and consumers alike — if it could be.
I understand what you are saying. However, why is the cost of ‘the top of the line from 5 years ago’ still cost very close to what the top of the line for this year costs? I had a difficult time finding anyone who would even tall to me about less expensive hearing aids. Just kept pushing the top of the line. FINALLY found one audiologist say I probably didn’t even need everything the top of the line had to offer.
What does a brick of steel cost? About $3.
Now, take that bring and hand it off to a blacksmith, and s/he can us it to make about four horseshoes for a horse. They’re then worth about $15 each, so your $3 brick of steel is now worth $60 with the finished product. It’s the same amount of steel. The difference is the blacksmith.
Take that same brick of steel and turn it over to a manufacturer of razor blades. With it, s/he can make about 400 razor blades, each worth about $1. Now that brick of steel is worth about $400. It’s the same amount of steel. The difference is the razor blade manufacturer and the equipment in the factory that created the finished product.
Take that same brick of steel and turn it over to a hearing aid manufacturer. With it, s/he can use it to make transistors, circuit boards, computer chips, microphones, receivers, battery contacts, etc., and with all those tiny parts build hundreds of hearing aids. It’s the same amount of steel. The difference is the research and development put into a finished product that serves to improve the quality of life for hundreds of people, allowing them to interact with others, enjoy music, hear the sounds of nature, and participate in the hearing world.
How much is that worth? To many, it’s priceless.
Many people think that hearing aids are overpriced. They can be–if the consumer isn’t careful. In the above example, it’s focused on the product, but it takes a lot more than just the hearing aid to ensure the success of the person using it. Audiologists and hearing instrument specialists are more like physical therapists than sales people. At least the good ones are. They help to rehabilitate and injury that impairs the patient’s social life, financial performance, academics, and overall ability to communicate–the foundation of all relationships. The service they provide adds value to the product.
The greatest key to success with hearing aids, regardless of the type, is for the patient to use their provider–audiologist or hearing instrument specialist–as much as possible to achieve satisfaction. It is their job to help you hear better–but it’s your job to ask for it and tell them when you’re having problems.
Thanks for writing Scott. Your perspective is similar to that of Lori Kay, above, and my response to you would be about the same as my response to her. I love my audiologist and I love my $3000 hearing aid, but I’m lucky to have the resources to make that possible. This survey is intended to be informational, not to be biased toward any one hearing aid solution. We’re trying to get a sense of is what people are buying, and from whom.
I think Scott had it right when he said it is up to the consumer to keep trying to get the best hearing aid and service for their own needs, by asking questions and going back until they are satisfied with what they are purchasing. I found it very frustrating to have to go to 3 different places before I felt confident in knowing what I was purchasing… Hence, I ended up going to Costco where I got the best guarantee and return option as a first time consumer. Now I have 6 months to decide if this is the best option for me.
Make sure they remedy complaints to your satisfaction before falling out of the money back portion of your warranty!!!
But please explain why my Oticon Opns cost $6500 and the VA, IHS, etc get them for a few hundred $.
Why not unbundle the cost of aids from the cost of ongoing support, at a minimum.
I could have purchased my aids for a significantly lower cost, but I knew from prior experience that it would take several sound adjustments from my local audiologist. But I would rather have paid for the adjustments on a fee basis.
I wrote that more than a year ago and I imagine the price may have come down. It’s hard to imagine that a lot of people would want hearing aids that turn down the heat or start the coffee maker, and I think that’s what these smart hearing aids are designed to do.
Unbundling is what many think is the obvious and correct solution, including me. Because I have severe hearing loss, I know I need the package with unlimited followup. But someone with normal age related hearing loss probably does not, and should not be paying a couple of thousand dollars for hearing aid services when they only need one or two followups. Thanks for writing.
That’s what Ive said for years. Last ones i got had that bundle price then had fees added for adjustment…really expensive.
The aesthetics, ergonomics which the designer has to consider makes it costly I guess. We need to work on it to make it affordable for the poor.
Katherine, you’re focused on the device and not the process. The process is the secret sauce.
I do agree that good audiological services make a big difference. But, as I said earlier, a lot of people simply can’t afford a hearing aid — the average cost according to the National Academy of Sciences, is $2450. That’s the AVERAGE, and most people need two hearing aids. Insurance rarely covers the cost, and Medicare never does. So we really do need to offer less costly alternatives. It would be great if we could change the system so that audiological services on their own would be reimbursed. That way an audiologist could afford to program a hearing aid bought online or a big box store (for a fee, which would be reimbursed) and maybe offer counseling, rehabilitation and all the other things that make a hearing aid effective — Without having to charge almost $5000 for a pair of hearing aids.
Most reputable hearing practices do offer less costly hearing aids. The average cost may be $2450 per aid, but there are good quality aids available for half that price. There are trade offs with features such as noise reduction or fidelity, but for someone with limited finances they are still a good option.
I do know that. But even so, for someone with normal age-related hearing loss, the bundled price of a hearing aid is still high, and the cost of the aid is part of a package. They may not need the other services but pay for them anyway. So maybe a model where you pay for the hearing aid and then you pay for service as needed would help make hearing aids more affordable for more people.
I paid $7000(C) for 2 HA,s. a year ago.I unfortunately dropped one in the sink while the water was running and it disappeared.Long story short,a replacement cost me $350(C) without an new test.Over $3000 for the audiology assessment?????

The Texas Book Festival, started by Laura Bush in 1995, has always had a mission of literacy outreach. One of their programs is Reading Rock Stars, which currently serves schools in Austin, Houston, and the Rio Grande Valley.
The Texas Book Festival’s Reading Rock Stars program is a hands-on literacy initiative that sends nationally recognized authors into Title I schools in Texas to inspire young readers with dynamic presentations and send them home with the most empowering experience of all – their very own book. The Texas Book Festival funds and coordinates the author visits and donates the books to the children as well as a set of books to each school’s library.
This year you can make a $15 donation at a register in a BookPeople Book Sales Tent to buy a book for a Reading Rock Stars student in Houston. For each book you buy, TBF and the Tocker Foundation will match with a book for an affected library (up to 500 books each), turning one book into three. See more at #TXBookStrong.
If you're going to the festival this weekend (November 4 and 5th), think about making a donation to help out kids affected by Hurricane Harvey!

This week is Gas Safety Week, if you didn't know that, don't worry, neither did I until I see so many people talking about it on other blogs and on social media! Before I become a parent, I don't think anything like this would of come across my mind, I suppose it's not something you worry about when you're young is it? I'd like that to change however, and think everyone should be informed of the dangers gas can cause.
With the colder months approaching, many of us, if we've not done so already, are getting ready to turn our boilers on after having them off for the summer. As a result, its also the time when any problems with your central heating may become apparent.
I'm sure all of you're wise on the No ID, No Entry technique, but just incase, I thought it was important to mention that if you're booking a gas engineer visit, either to perform a repair or a service to your boiler, then please make sure the engineer is fully qualified and accredited to check your appliances properly and do any work safely.
The Gas Safe Register estimates that there are around 7,500 illegal gas fitters operating in the UK, which is a terrifying figure of cowboys!
To ensure you don't let a cowboy into your home, there are simple checks you can perform.
• Make sure the engineer carries a Gas Safe ID card with them, the card will include their picture, and a unique license number on it.
• Ask to see your engineers card, and if possible, have a smartphone, tablet or computer nearby with the internet ready to go!
• Go to the Gas Safe Register, and enter the license number into the 'Check a Gas Engineer' section.
• A picture of the engineer (as long as the business has opted into this).
• Contact details of the Gas Safe registered business.
• What gas work they're qualified to carry out.
If your engineer isn't qualified to do the repair you've asked them too, don't let the job progress.
Carbon Monoxide is a very dangerous fume leaked from gas boilers, I can sadly re-call two cases I've read in news over the recent years of two deaths due to carbon monoxide, thanks to dodgy gas engineers! The first death I recall was of 24 year old Zoe Anderson (news article here) and the second was 41 year old Mark Ellis (news article here).
I've not mentioned the very sad incidents above to scare people, but however, to warn people of the dangers. Maybe you've found a really cheap 'gas engineer', who's doing the same job you've asked other engineers to do, but at a cost of 50% less than others have quoted you, is your life, or a member of your families life worth the risk for a little saving? NO!
Please also note that it's not just CM that's a worry when it comes to gas, there's also the risk of explosions, fires and other disasters as this video below explains.
Whatever you do this autumn, and winter with your boiler, please make sure you've had your annual (yearly) gas safety check.
If you're worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, there are many alarms around on the market to help you become. Carbon monoxide doesn't smell unlike gas, it's known as the silent killer, and a scary one at that. I however, luckily have one to giveaway, check out the next post for your chance to enter the competition!
Tips and advice from Corgi.

As parents, we have an amazing privilege and responsibility to the world and our children. The things we model and teach our children will take many years, and last them through their lifetime. Even after they are gone, the legacy they leave will live on in people whose lives they have affected.
Raising our children to be peacemakers should be one of our top priorities. If our children are knowledgeable, wealthy and popular, but have poor character, those attributes will benefit neither them nor anyone around them. The world is a testament to this fact. So how do we raise our children to become the kind of people who will leave the lasting impression of a peacemaker on those they come in contact with?
We can teach our children to be anything we want to, but unless we are striving to live it out daily in our own lives, our pursuits are useless. We need to model peacemaking in big and small ways. Every day we walk on the earth, we have a chance to model either peace or discord.
When someone has upset you, how do you respond to them? What is your reaction when another driver cuts you off on the way to your child’s baseball game? Think about your initial reactions to stress and you will quickly know what your children are learning about peacemaking from you. Strive to respond with compassion rather than to react with a harsh demeanor to those around you.
How are we speaking about other people in our homes? Are our conversations about others mainly negative or positive? If we want our child to become a peacemaker, we have to think and speak like one. Save your negativity for a time when it can be discussed with the appropriate person who can actually remedy the problem.
What are you personally doing to make a difference in the world? Are you willing to get your hands dirty to fight injustice and help bring peace to every person in all parts of the world? Your personal concern for those who are not experiencing peace at this moment in time will be an example and inspiration to the future adults you are raising. In turn, they will likely strive to find the same opportunities to be involved in.
Who are the people you expose your children to? Are they complacent and angry, or do they have a desire for peace like you do? Expose your children to other inspiring adults who they can learn from. This will reinforce the training they are receiving at home and give them a vision for the great things that can be accomplished through the life of someone who cares.
Another positive way to expose your child to great peacemakers is through education. You don’t have to personally know an individual to learn from them. Read autobiographies of those who you admire and make them available to your children. Chances are that they will be as inspired as you.
Our world is desperately in need of individuals committed to peace. Being a parent puts us in the position to be able to raise some of these future leaders. Make the necessary changes in your life today that will help you assist your child in becoming a peacemaker of tomorrow.

So said Phillip Blond in an interesting comment piece in the Observer on Sunday 3rd October. Blond is director of the right-leaning think-tank ResPublica and author of Red Tory. Blond’s basic thesis (as I’m sure he’d call it; his schtick, his thing, his gimmick, if you prefer) is that Britain has been broken by the competing ideologues of right (free marketeers) and left (statists) and that only a steady stream of carefully wrought, contrarian ideas from well-paid policy wonks in groovy think-tanks can fix it.
The thing that most caught my eye in the Observer piece was his glowing praise for Sandwell Community Caring Trust, a residential care charity externalised from the local authority in 1997.
…costs have fallen from 22% of turnover in 1997 to less than 6% today. Staff sickness levels fell from 22 days a year in 1997 to 0.3 days in 2007, turnover spent directly on frontline care up from 62 % in 1997 to more than 82% in 2006. A mutualised approach improved performance and pay. In 2006 residential care for the elderly cost the local authority £657 per person per week, the trust has reduced this cost to £328 per person per week, and residents are happier – this really is more for less.
These are of course impressive figures. But it’s the “more for less” bit at the end that concerns me. The purpose of social enterprise isn’t more for less. It’s delivering the best value possible, delivering greater social benefit… And achieving the best and fairest deal possible for employees. If social enterprises aren’t doing that then they might as well be private businesses.
“…West Midlands-based charitable trust which was recently ranked second in the annual Best Companies to Work For study…..simple recipe for value-adding internal communication…..tangible, measurable benefits of an increased investment in face-to-face communication and improved employee engagement. Over a relatively short period SCCT has reduced absence levels from 37 days per year to just 0.3, cut staff turnover from 22 per cent to four per cent, slashed management/admin costs from 24 per cent to six per cent and increased the proportion of spend being used to enhance frontline services from 63 per cent to 87 per cent. Impressive results which would make any CEO or FD sit up and listen. He put much of this success down to freeing up managers and leaders to spend more ‘quality time’ with staff”.
Thanks, Pauline. And wages? Nonetheless, I’m sure you’re right about being good guys.

On behalf of the Foundation for Wallingford-Swarthmore Schools, we would like to thank all of the donors and volunteers who through their energy, donations and enthusiasm made Arts4Smarts very successful. The money that we raised will help us to support teachers in funding their innovative and exciting programs at all of the schools in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District!
Arts4Smarts is just one way in which we are working to raise additional funds to support these programs. We also had the Panther Pajama Run and Pancake Breakfast in November and have applied for various grants available to 501(c)(3) organizations.
With the increase in budget cuts for the 2012-2013 school year, school districts are facing less state funds and local tax revenues. The cut in funding for our school district means less money available to spend on our children and reduced learning opportunities. In response to these cuts, the Foundation was formed to obtain supplemental funding to support the innovative and exciting programs that our teachers would like to bring to our children.
We appreciate the hard work of the Signature Event Committee, Foundation Board and volunteers and the generous donations of great silent and live auction items from our teachers, administrators and community. We look forward to supporting great programs in the 2012-2013 year.
If you are interested in helping the Foundation, please visit our website – http://supportwssd.org or contact us – info@supportwssd.org.

Romaine lettuce shipments have been dead in the water since the FDA and CDC began investigating a multistate outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses. However, this is changing since the location of the outbreak has been identified.
The agencies say it’s likely linked to romaine lettuce grown in California this fall. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and Canadian Food Inspection Agency are also coordinating with U.S. agencies as they investigate a similar outbreak in Canada.
The majority of California romaine lettuce is shipped out of the Salinas Valley (Monterey County), the Santa Maria District (Santa Barbara County) and Oxnard (Ventura County). These areas would be nearing the end of their shipping season anyway, but have been halted the last couple of weeks as the government sought to identify the source of contamination.
Expect lettuce shipments out of the desert areas of California (Imperial Valley) and Arizona (Yuma), to soar with the news they are not suspected of having any of the contaminated romaine.
Yuma lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower shipments – grossing about $8400 to New York City.
Preliminary traceback information indicates that ill people in several areas across the country were exposed to romaine lettuce harvested in California. Specifically, current evidence indicates this romaine was harvested in the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California, according to a FDA news release.
Additional counties may be added as the FDA traceback develops.
During this new stage of the investigation, it is vital that consumers and retailers have an easy way to identify romaine lettuce by both harvest date and harvest location. Labeling with this information on each bag of romaine or signage in stores where labels are not an option would easily differentiate for consumers romaine from unaffected growing regions, the FDA release said.

The burden of burning fat is a big problem that has been raising these days. Good to know that a lot of methods have been introduced in the market today.

This way, it keeps the consumers to get alarmed if the product is safe or not. Plus, it gives an idea if there is one of the ingredients that are not good for them. Let us say one ingredient of the product causes to trigger an allergy. So, better to check the ingredients first before buying. Green Barley Plus is one of the safest natural dietary supplement that is gaining popularity to the consumers recently. It had been helping overweight people to lessen their weights.

It does not cause any harmful effect because of no harmful additives added on the pill.
Any pill has a recommended dosage to take. Although the dietary supplement is natural, it is still good to follow the advisable dosage of intake. 2 pills a day before every meal is the recommended dosage of Green Barley Plus. Drinking at not less than 300 ml of water with the extract is important. Take note: the product is not an alternative for a healthy diet.

Consumers are the first one who knows how safe the pill is. For those who are potential users, the dietary supplement was developed. The supplement has developed under the strict standards of the European Union. In every stage of the supplement production, the developer makes sure that the standards are met. With this, the dietary supplement is 100% safe and it has minimal chances of causing any harmful side effect. Consumers should know that the high demand of the product proves that it doesn’t harm anyone. So, why would waste time and money with the other ineffective products than this pill?

Project objective: To create for The Natural Step Canada (TNS Canada) a 5-minute video presenting the Energy Futures Lab. The video should present the purpose of the lab, what has been done and achieved to date as well as invite more fellows to join in. Alberta’s energy system is at the center of a complex, fragmented and divisive debate. What Alberta does in the next few years will impact generations to come. After several years of behind-the-scenes work, TNS Canada launched the Energy Futures Lab, which asks the question: How can Alberta’s leadership position in today’s energy system serve as a platform for transitioning to the energy system the future needs? To learn more about the Energy Futures Lab and be part of the story, visit www.energyfutureslab.com.
About The Natural Step Canada: TNS Canada is a dynamic non-profit organization with over a decade of experience helping organizations and individuals understand and make meaningful progress toward sustainability. Its vision is a sustainable society – one in which individuals, communities, businesses and institutions thrive within nature’s limits. Its mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable society.
Video making process: Sustainability consultant and script writer Sarah Brooks wrote the script of the video using the brief from TNS Canada. Once the video script was finalized and approved, I sketched illustrations organizing the video in 6 scenes and put them all in a storyboard for review and feedback. Once the drawings approved, I recorded them in video as usual, drawing on my screen while recording it as a movie (see inside the creation of my videos for more details). All the footage was then edited in Final Cut Pro X, accelerated and synchronized with the voice-over (recorded by Lab Director and Chief Innovation Officer Chad Park) and music (Redwood Trail by Audionautix, used under creative Commons Attribution license from the YouTube audio library).

If you’re on a slow connection, try .
We’ve detected a slow Internet connection. To speed things up, .
We don’t necessarily automatically refer to the Mazda5 as a minivan, but it really is. Competing with the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Caravan/Town & Country, it surely must be. In ways the Mazda5 feels like a minivan, in other ways, not. Mazda prefers to tag it the “wagon.†Direct competition for the Mazda5 points to the Mini Clubman, Scion xB, Jetta VW Sports Wagon and I suppose, the new Fiat 500L.
Unique among today’s vehicle offering, the Mazda5 rides on a car platform, yet has sliding doors like a traditional minivan. The size of a compact sedan, the Mazda5 easily seats four and can take a fifth passenger, if needed. The second row of seating sports captain’s chairs, proving passengers their own space and some aisle room, to boot.
One of the few drawbacks of the Mazda5 would have to be its lack of power. Equipped with a frugal 4-cylinder engine, the Mazda5 gets drivers from A to B, but it’s somewhat hesitant lack of power becomes annoying after awhile. The fact that the Mazda5 is a Mazda, though, assures drivers some fun. Easily maneuvered and driven around town, the Mazda5 makes a great everyday driver. Not only does it provide space for toting goodies, it’s easy to park and offers a pleasing driving experience (translated: not labor-intensive).
Other favorable features on the Mazda5 include its good visibility (something sacrificed on a number of vehicles today), ease of driving, a comfortable and spacious second row seating area, and an easy-to-read dash-although not flashy.
Available in three trim levels: Sport 4-dr. wagon ($20,140), Touring ($22,270), GT ($24, 670). Our test vehicle, the Grand Touring version, is the top-of-the-line offering and includes automatic transmission, power moonroof and xenon HID headlights. Even at a price of just under $26,000, the Mazda5 comes in at thousands less than the traditional minivans.
“Functional†best describes this capable Mazda wagon; certainly not flashy. The cabin felt somewhat dated-namely, the dash, void of any up-to-date display screen housing a navigation system. The leather-trimmed seating added a nice touch. One sits fairly high in the Mazda5, making for good visibility and accommodating to all manner of drivers: short or tall. The tall rear liftgate is conducive to loading all manner of cargo, is simple to operate.
Standard equipment on the Mazda5 includes the usual: cruise, remote keyless entry, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, six-speaker AM/FM/CD system with USB and auxiliary outputs, manual driver’s seat with height adjustment. Our Grand Touring version adds a power moonroof, heated front seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, leather seating, and driver’s seat lumbar support.
Safety features include the usual: ABS, rear backup sensors, Dynamic stability control, traction control, advanced dual-front /side-impact airbags, three-row side impact airbags and tire pressure monitoring system.
Potential buyers with children might want to opt for the optional rear-seat DVD system, with 7-inch monitor and two wireless headsets. Other options include remote start and rearview mirror with compass and HomeLink transmitter. Although the base model comes equipped with 5-speed manual transmission, one can upgrade to automatic.
Opting for the top-of-line Grand Touring model be prepared to pay close to $26,000; not a small chunk of change. But if buyers are in the market for something dependable, functional and pleasing to drive on a daily basis, the Mazda5 fits the bill.
Warranty: 3 yr./36,000-mile back-to-back limited; 5 yr./60,000-mile powertrain limited; 3 yr./36,000-mile 24/7 roadside assistance.

TIRETRACK.COM. The largest ‘shoe shopper’ for your vehicle announces results of run-flat comparison tests. The tire tester and seller of tires, wheels and performance accessories published their results of its 19th annual tire testing season: a run-flat tire comparison. The results conclude that advancing tire technologies make it easier for drivers of mainstream vehicles to think about run-flat tires for their vehicles as a replacement option.
Minimizing the stress and hassle of fixing a flat, run-flat tires provide a better ride and built-in peace of mind. In the past, run-flat tires have been in limited supply for vehicles with special wheels and suspension tuning, however, the DriveGuard from Bridgestone is now available: The first full line of mass-market replacement run-flat tires available for passenger sedans, coupes and wagons that are not equipped with run-flat technology.
DriveGuard is designed to equal or better the ride of any premium vehicle that came from the factory with run-flat tires as original equipment.
With run-flats, vehicles can maintain mobility after puncture for up to 50 miles. For cars to be eligible for run-flat tires, they must have a working tire pressure monitoring system, which now represents every passenger vehicle, excluding trucks, vans, since 2008.
To access TireRack.com’s full test results go to www.tirerack.com/peaceofmindresults.

The fashion industry is notorious for being resource-heavy. From water usage, pesticides, sweatshops to textile waste — we are tearing at the seams when it comes to sustainable concerns associated with the world of style. Yet surprisingly, it’s not uncommon to get an eye roll or glazed over gaze at the mention of eco-fashion. Why? Never mind that we are in a Trump era where political correctness and caring for the environment are suddenly sore points of scorn, but many simply see ‘sustainability’ as yet another buzzword — something too leftie tree-hugger for their liking. There’s also this perceived workload in buying sustainable clothing and joining the movement which deters many people away from it — too daunting a task to neatly fit into one’s stylish sensibility . Two strikes against the sustainable style movement and we’re barely getting started. Tough sell — literally. Admittedly, I didn’t pay much attention to sustainability in fashion until a couple of years ago when I started forging closer relationships with more Canadian designers and really understanding exactly where and how my clothes were being made. And full disclosure, I still don’t have a wardrobe of exclusively sustainable style but I am certainly more conscious of my choices and that’s a start.
In 2016 Fashion Takes Action re-launched Design Forward, a sustainable runway show featuring the top designers in Canada. This year an award component was introduced to Design Forward. The three finalists were announced at the end of June and will showcase on October 3rd at the Expo for Design, Innovation & Technology (EDIT) where the final winner will be announced. A prize valued at over $50,000 will be awarded to the winner in order to help elevate their business to the next level.
Here’s a closer look at Canada’s Sustainable Fashion Award finalists and how they are changing the fashion landscape for the better thread by thread.
I was first introduced to The Peggy Sue Collection at TWFW this past March. I loved everything about the collection and what it stood for. Connected. Conscious. Regenerative. While I was immediately drawn to the aesthetic, as I learned more about Peggy Sue’s brand I was lured in by her philosophy.Peggy Sue designs with respect for people, their traditions and the lands they live on. Peggy Sue works directly with North American farmers, start-up mills and artisans to design sustainable luxury garments that celebrates their skills and our lands. She is passionate about creating a product that tells a story and uses natural, local materials to their fullest extent. By building a transparent and traceable North American supply chain from the farm up, training and organizing a local labour force, she is working to grow and educate the conscious consumer and dedicated fiber industry. Every garment in the collection is made from North American organic cotton or Canadian upcycled denim. The pieces showcase effortless style and versatility.
Triarchy / Atelier Denim has a simple approach to its style. They make use of what they have by re-purposing what already exists into new sustainable luxury. They source the finest vintage denim, then deconstruct, re-imagine, and reconstruct by hand in Los Angeles, adding high-end materials and trims to make one of a kind denim pieces. Simple, sophisticated and eco-chic all at once.
Omi Woods is a boutique brand grounded in a love for timeless silhouettes, African and Indigenous textiles, and ethical practices.
Omi means water in the West African Yoruba language, a peoples referred to as the Nago in the Caribbean. Together with Woods, it pays tribute to Owner and Creative Director Ashley Alexis McFarlane’s Jamaican-Maroon heritage. The island’s name derives from the Indigenous Awarak word Xaymaca which translates to The Land of Wood and Water.
Omi Woods is rooted in the desire to revive the beauty, power and grace of fashion throughout the ages through the creation of unique and meaningful clothing for the special occasions in their clients lives.
Ethics play a key role in the brand’s philosophy. They use eco-friendly dyes that are 100 percent bio-degradable and require no water to print. Omi Woods sources fabrics from companies that implement sustainability measures to ensure that the process of creating them does not involve unnecessary harm to the environment. They do not mass produce. Ever. They keep a small inventory and only make what is ordered so your product is that much more unique and their manufacturing practices have less of an impact on the earth. They believe strongly in fair wages and have personal relationships with everyone that sews the clothes for the brand.
How Can You Support Sustainable Fashion?
1. Buy Natural Fibers: Cotton and bamboo are two examples of natural fibers that make great fabrics and clothes.
2. Upcycle: Re-fashion your apparel. Little Grey Line takes old men’s work shirts and remakes them into adorable dresses for little girls. Buy or give it a try at home. Just find a great shirt and create your own custom design for your mini-me.
4. Shop & Swap Your Closet: Whether it’s a swishing party with your colleagues or swapping pieces with your sis, a simple closet swap instantly adds new life to your wardrobe. You can also take it to the next level by renting pieces from your closet. East or West, you got options. Take My Sari is a new app dedicated to renting as well as buying and selling Indian fashions.
5. Do Some Research: There are so amazing eco-friendly brands out there. Get on Google and find something that suits your style. You may find that even one of your favourite designers, like Stella McCartney has an eco-chic line.
Small steps or big strides, work more eco-fashion into your wardrobe — the world will thank you.

The FCC voted 3-2 today to move forward with proposed privacy rules that would require ISPs to obtain consumers' consent before drawing on their Web-surfing data for behavioral targeting.
AT&T has launched a new initiative that could help the company combat cord-cutting. As of May 23, the company will start offering home broadband users unlimited data at no charge -- but only if they also purchase a television subscription.
Internet service providers are undermining "the spirit and the text" of net neutrality rules by rolling out new so-called zero-rating services, which exempt certain material from consumers' monthly data caps, a coalition of advocacy groups tells the FCC.
Netflix stunned the industry today with its admission that for more than five years, it has secretly slowed down videos streamed through AT&T and Verizon's networks.
Proposed broadband privacy rules will "unavoidably reduce consumer choice," according to FTC Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen.
A state appeals court and a federal judge have already held that Gawker's 2012 post and short video were newsworthy, site founder Nick Denton writes.
In a development cheered by digital rights advocates, the FBI has postponed its fight with Apple -- possibly permanently.
Some advocates say the FCC's proposed privacy regulations don't go far enough to protect consumers.
Comcast argues in a new FCC filing that Stream TV doesn't harm other Web video providers.

I have to make a report on tableau and publish it on tableau online, so that it will work automatically (refresh) from the database server. The report has 3 sections based on date. Suppose I am making a report on Jan Month.
Similarly for next march month the month will be shifted.
I want to know which query i should write on tableau so that I can get automated results whenever i change the date range.

Washington, DC - the National Quality Forum (NQF) Board of Directors has approved an expansion of settings for two nursing home measures: #0680, Percent of Nursing Home Residents Who Were Assessed and Appropriately Given the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine (Short-Stay); and #0682, Percent of Residents Assessed and Appropriately Given the Pneumococcal Vaccine (Short-Stay).
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the measure steward, expanded the measures beyond the nursing home setting to include inpatient rehabilitation facilities and long-term acute care hospitals. The ad-hoc review request fell under the third NQF criterion for justifying a review: material changes to a currently endorsed measure.
Technical experts were convened to assess the proposed measure changes and agreed to recommend expansion of both measures given the following reasons: the age range was expanded to reflect current evidence; the time window was made consistent with standard specifications and harmonized with other NQF-endorsed measures; data on the validity was provided; and the measure submission form was modified to ensure that the documentation supports the changes made.
NQF is a voluntary consensus standards-setting organization. Any party may request reconsideration of these measures by submitting an appeal no later than June 5. To submit an appeal, please email appeals@qualityforum.org. For an appeal to be considered, the notification must include information clearly demonstrating that the appellant has interests directly and materially affected by the NQF-endorsed recommendations and that the NQF decision has had (or will have) an adverse effect on those interests.

There is no reason anyone should be drinking a poor quality, less than seriously delicious, hot chocolate. Oh... don't get me started. This post will end up running off the page! I am always amazed at the inferior hot chocolate being sold in many cafés and coffee shops. I like my hot chocolate rich, bitter, and thick. That's not asking a lot, is it? I was recently sipping a hot chocolate at the Lodge at Pebble Beach in California. I heard that a round of golf there costs an astronomical $495, and because of that, I wasn't surprised that a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream, a homemade marshmallow and Grand Marnier sells for ten dollars (I drank mine sans liquor, thank you). But please... it was made with Hershey's chocolate syrup !?@!# I just don't have any tolerance for bad coffee or bad hot chocolate (especially if it's expensive).
It's not hard to combine the ingredients for good drinking chocolate and have it at the ready. And yes, the chocolate you use is like anything else in cooking and baking; you want to use the best ingredients you can. It really does make a difference.
1. Place chocolate bars in the freezer until completely frozen, about 10 minutes. Remove from freezer and break into rough pieces. Place in a food processor with the remaining ingredients and process until completely powdered, about 1 minute. Transfer to an airtight container and keep in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.
2. To make hot chocolate, combine 2 tablespoons, or more, with hot milk. To thicken further, return to low heat and and simmer for 30 seconds, until thick and smooth.
3. Garnish with whipped heavy cream, peppermint marshmallows, or orange marshmallows.

Last week, over 500 people gathered in Oakland, California for the first national conference of the Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People and Families Movement. This gathering was years in the making, and lays down a clear marker in the new era of reversing mass incarceration. New Orleans was well represented, as it should be, holding the dubious title of the most incarcerated city in the most incarcerated state in the most incarcerated nation in the world.
Upon arrival at the hotel, old friends embraced while new ones were quickly made. Once again, people who have spent time in a cage — whether for days or decades — could greet and speak in comfortable terms without feeling ostracized or discriminated against. All of VOTE’s staff joined with three VOTE board members and several of our members, including those who intersect with OPPRC, the Louisiana Prison Education Coalition, Women With a Vision, and the free living members of the Angola 3, Robert King and Albert Woodfox.
VOTE Executive Director Norris Henderson joined with several other impressive leaders, who have been planning this gathering for many years, to welcome everyone to the space and provide the history of this collaboration.
During the first breakout session, our Deputy Director Bruce Reilly moderated a panel on housing that included Alfred Marshall, an organizer for Stand With Dignity. The panel quickly moved towards collective action, and the Q&A focused on strategies to combat the blanket discrimination and overall affordable housing crisis in American cities. VOTE is committed to helping organizations across the country launch campaigns to change the criminal background policies that exclude whole families.
The meals provided by FICPFM were held outside in the beautiful weather, at large tables where people from around the nation could meet new people, exchanging contact info along with stories about their kids and their campaigns. Additional panels on voting rights, employment, political prisoners, the drug war, political prisoners, youth, and more led us ultimately to an inspiring closing plenary of formerly incarcerated women. If anyone in attendance was unsure about their place in the world, or whether they had the energy to continue the fight, the impassioned words of wisdom from these women surely breathed new life and confidence back into them.
While the second day closed out with the #SchoolsNotPrisons concert tour stop, people continued to mingle and build this coalition. VOTE served as an anchor organization to help in the giving a foundation for the nation to build upon, yet we certainly happily helped ourselves in the getting of knowledge, networking, support, and wisdom. We will continue to follow up in a way that furthers our collective power on a local and national scale.
Stay tuned for additional media and stories that came from this historic gathering.

The owner of the Cactus Flower, Miss Julie, welcomes all patrons (audience members) to her saloon, and Diane Brosius who plays Miss Julie is just as welcoming and sweet as her character. But, like all the misfit people of Whiskey Flats, this saloon owner has another side to her. Diane says, “having a questionable past of my own where I spent a lot of time in bars helped me get into character.” I guess it’s true, you have to watch out for the sweet and innocent looking ones. She may keep a close eye on her saloon girl, Cherry Jubilee, and contribute to town functions, but she also fights to keep what’s hers.
Sagebrush Sal is a well-known stagecoach driver in the Whiskey Flats area and is played by Bridget Yeager. Bridget had no trouble turning into this tomboy character having grown up a tomboy herself, but the similarities stop there. Sal is loud and isn’t afraid to out-wrestle, out-drive, and out-shoot any man, varmint, or Avon Lady. While Bridget is quieter and calmer than her character Sal, she loved getting a chance to yell, spit, and just plain carry on. Both actor and character are great fits for Whiskey Flats, which is filled with misfits of all variety and interests.
Maybelle Macgillacuddy is a school teacher originally from Ohio and played by Meredith Weber. Meredith found no problem getting into character being from Ohio herself and also working in education. While others worked on western/southern/and other accents, Meredith lets her ‘Ohio-ness’ shine right on through. Maybelle’s questionable past took her around the world and back again, but now she walks the straight and narrow…or so it seems. Could there be more to this cliché-quoting, vocabulary-drilling schoolmarm? Meredith likes that Maybelle has a ‘sharp’ edge to her and ‘shoots’ some witty remarks to her fellow actors.
The bumbling Sheriff, Tom McCoy is played by Eric Armstrong. It was early on that Eric found an ‘accent’ for Tom and the character just developed from there. Not all Whiskey Flats’ townspeople feel Tom is smart enough…I mean qualified to be Sheriff, but most give him the benefit of at least trying. Actor and character seem to remain calm in all situations and go with the punches. You can be sure that both have never been more sure that you’ll surely like this show.

Five active boys get spiffed up to celebrate their favorite babysitter’s wedding.
“When I arrived at the house that first day, I was surprised to see two … then three … then FIVE little boys!
And that’s how Molly became the best thing since Mac and Cheese at the Oberting household! Molly helped Judy and her husband Kip maintain some semblance of sanity in their household during those challenging early years.
But more than anything, Molly grew to love that fivesome — and they adored her.
Sometimes babysitters become more than just sitters — they become an extension of your family. So, when the invitation to Molly’s wedding arrived, Judy, Kip, and the boys knew this was an event that they could not miss. They loaded up the boys in their Suburban, and made a long weekend of it!
How wonderful it was for the whole Oberting family to share in Molly’s special day!

Summer squash is a generic term that refers to several varieties of squash that are typically grown and eaten (as opposed to stored over winter) during the summer months. Some of the most common summer squash include the zucchini, Patty Pan, and crook-neck squashes.
If there was ever a seed you could pop in the ground and watch grow in no time; its the summer squash. Well, you do have to water it but even feeding is optional if you have good soil. If you are a single person or family of less that 4 you can get along with 1 to 2 plants maximum. Zucchini is the most prolific and easy to grow variety.
Buy seed at your local nursery. Once you grow them you can let one squash mature and save the seeds for the next year. Plant the seeds in the garden in early spring when the soil warms during the day. Plant at least 2 -3 eds on a slightly mounded hill. Water to keep moist until it germinates, typically in about 5-10 days. Thin the small plants down to the strongest one once they are about 2" high.
The summer squash plant just needs moderate water and full sun. Of course feeding never hurts. The plant will produce both male and female flowers. Pollination depends on insects visiting both a male and female flower to produce the fruit. Sometimes early on I'll hand pollinate the flower by simply using a Q-TIP to rub the pollen from the male flower then rubbing the female flower with the Q-TIP. Later on as the plant matures it should produce enough flowers and attract enough insects to keep you in more squash than you can handle.
Zucchini, Patty Pan, or Crookneck call all be used interchanably.

This short biography traces the complex emotional, artistic and philosophical development of Dante Alighieri (c1265–1321), observing his wanderings through Tuscan hills and churches, his days as a young soldier with the White Guelphs, his civic leadership, and the years of embittered exile from Florence. Lewis portrays the boy who first encounters the mythic Beatrice, the lyric poet obsessed with love and death, the grand master of dramatic narrative and allegory, and his monumental search for truth in The Divine Comedy. It is in this masterpiece of self-discovery and redemption that Lewis finds Dante's own autobiography, and the sum of all his shifting passions and epiphanies.

How to get, clear and understand Volvo diagnostic codes on 1992-1995 Volvos. To start, the Ignition key must be in position II, engine not running. Open the hood. Locate the two diagnostic sockets just inboard of the washer fill cap.
Looking for 1996 to 1998 Volvo Trouble Code Help?
Or Read codes on 1999+ Volvos?
We in the 850 family who have 1996 and 1997 model years have it easy. Check Engine light comes on? We just plug in our code readers and a magical system called OBD-II tells us what code(s) are causing the CE light. Same with 1998 model year Volvos, like S70, V70 and XC70 models. Then after that, codes expanded from the OBD-II to include Volvo-specific codes that OBD-II readers cannot retrieve, although many overlap in meaning.
Read Codes on a 1999+ Volvo?
Guess what? OBD-II readers will read the OBD-II codes these cars set. The OBD-II port is physically the same. I used my reader on my ex’s 2004 V70R — lower driver’s side interior, near your left knee — and it correctly reported OBD-II codes. Here is the specific 1999+ Volvo DTC code page for “the rest of the story”.
To start, the Ignition key must be in position II, engine not running. Open the hood. Locate the two diagnostic sockets just inboard of the washer fill cap. The “A” connector (shown above) has a jumper that is stored in the lid of the “A” diagnostic connector. The jumper is used for both diagnostic connectors.
Listed below is the information retrievable from the various connections.
Normally “Check Engine Light” information will be found in A2. Put the jumper into A2 and push the black button for one second. Count the red LED light as it blinks back information, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, is an example of the response you would receive. 2-3-2 would be the code retrieved, now push the button again for one second, again count the blinks, keep checking for codes until one of them repeats, this means you have read all the codes.
Now to clear the codes, push and hold the button for 6-7 seconds, release and as soon as the LED comes on push and hold the button for another 6-7 seconds. Now push the button for one second and read the codes again, you should get 1-1-1 (no faults).
Turn the ignition off and then start the car, the check engine light should be out. It is always a good idea to check for codes, clear them and then drive the vehicle to see if they return before replacing parts. The transmission can ask the check engine light to be turned on, so if you try clearing A2 codes and they wont go away try reading the transmission (A1), clear them , and then go back to A2.

I have a 96 960 and miss not having the under hood obd1 that my 90 740 used to have. being a 96, if i get a set of diagnostic boxes from a used vehicle (both A&B), and i have the wiring diagrams, would i be able to “retrofit” (not really retro since its moving forward in years)this into my 960? all sensors are same, they just bundled some of the cables together with a relay to push out to OBDii port 7. since the 850 95 had both, there is a great wiring diagram showing both systems working in tandem.
I need radio code for a Volvo s70-2000.
Time for regular service-need to clear code.
My 98 volvo s70 has 383,000 miles and I have a check engine light still on after being cleared; it came back on but there are no codes at all. The check engine light is still on. When the car is off the light goes out then comes back!

I’d like to know the codes for a 1993 Volvo 940 wagon (Regina syst). Non -turbo.
I don’t know. Can you tell me the context? Where you saw the phrase?
After I checked with my dealer what the status was on my Volvo XC 90 T8 in the factory in Sweden they received the answer that the car was “under analysis”. That should take 2 days and then a FC was expected before shipment.
Sounds to me like it’s being evaluated for quality assurance (“QA”). But I don’t know for sure. Post this in the forum, and perhaps member Jimmy57 would know. He worked for Volvo.

Good afternoon, yesterday Sunday September 18, 2016, I finally got around to reading the codes in my Volvo 850 Wagon of 1995 vintage.

that’s the only code to be cleared.

Repair or Replace Your French Door - Call 916-472-0507!
French doors are a lovely addition to your space. They are typically characterized by a double-door design with glass inlay throughout a large portion of the doors’ surface. However, there are different styles of French doors that you may find with subtle variations. When French doors become damaged in your home, you may wonder what it will take to repair them. Sacramento Handyman offers fast, effective results for all types of door repair needs, including French door repair projects.
There are several ways that French doors can become damaged. The most common type of damage is broken glass. The glass can shatter or chip due to impact or even by closing the doors too forcefully. The wood can also become dinged or scratched. In some cases, the door hinges may become loosened, and the doors may not close properly. When these or other types of damage are present with your doors, they may detract from the look of your home rather than add to it. In some cases, the damage can be dangerous to deal with, such as is the case with broken glass.
There are different steps that homeowners can take to repair the doors based on the type of damage present with the doors. For example, if the door is severely damaged, a full replacement of one of the doors may be required. If the hinge is broken, the door frame and hinge may need to be repaired or replaced. Depending on the type of door that you have, scratches and dings may be patched and repaired so that the original door can continue to be used in the home. When a repair technician arrives at your home to assess the damage, you can learn more about the steps that may be required to repair your door.
When your technician is making the repair, it is important to consider the cost of the repair versus a replacement as well as the quality of door that is currently installed. Some French doors have a lovely aesthetic design but are on the low end of the price spectrum. These are easy to replace, and it may be more cost-effective to repair a damaged door than to replace it in this case. Other doors may be solid wood doors that have been beautifully stained, and the desire may be to keep these doors in the home. These may be more difficult to replace and easier to repair because of their solid wood design. The French door repair contractor who arrives at your home to assist you with the repair process will help you to learn more about the type of door that you have installed.
Sacramento Handyman provides local residents with all types of door repair services. Whether your interior or exterior doors have become damaged, the technicians at Sacramento Handyman can make the repairs on your behalf.
To receive a free estimate for the repair project, call Sacramento Handyman at 916-472-0507.
We just bought a lovely house here and unfortunately have to replace the French doors in the back of the house, due to a lower quality. We’re wanting to get a a nice sliding set as we plan on being in this house for a while, as my husband just retired from the military. The house overall is beautiful, the only needed repair (replacement) are the French doors.
We have lovely old wooden French doors with chips in the windows. I will be calling you soon to see if they can be repaired, I would hate to lose my lovely old doors!

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton debated on issues such as jobs, terrorism and race.
Momentum is gradually gathering steam ahead of the presidential election of November 8, 2016 in the United States of America to replace outgoing President Barack Obama.
Democratic party candidate Hillary Clinton and her Republican party rival Donald Trump clashed over pertinent issues in the first public debate on television on September 26, 2016 in New York. BBC reported that the candidates clashed over issues related to jobs, terrorism and race. CNN said Hillary Clinton forced Donald Trump onto defense over his temperament, refusal to release his taxes and his past comments about race and women during a fiery debut presidential debate on Monday. The news organs further said, Mrs Clinton delivered a strong performance in which she demonstrated a command of policy and a sense of humor, smiling through some of Trump's strongest attacks. Donald Trump, CNN said, came out swinging at the beginning of the debate, and made some effective points on the economy and jobs. BBC reported that the attacks turned personal as Mr Trump accused his rival Hillary Clinton of not having the right temperament to be president and she retorted by pointing out that Trump refused to release his tax returns.
The debate has had a great effect on the opinion polls. A CNN/ORC poll taken based on interviews with 521 registered voters chosen as part of a random national sample found that 62 per cent of voters who had watched the debate thought that Mrs Clinton came out on top, with just 27 per cent in favour of Mr Trump. Another post debate poll contained in a survey conducted by Public Policy Polling of 1,002 debate-watchers found that 51 per cent of national voters thought Mrs Clinton had won, with 40 per cent choosing Mr Trump and 9 per cent undecided.
The US media also viewed the debate in diverse ways. The editorial board of New York Times was reportedly unimpressed with the debate saying, "when just one candidate is serious and the other is a vacuous bully, the term loses all meaning". Opinion writer Nick Kristof reportedly said Trump had "hurt himself", others said Mrs Clinton had "crushed" her opponent.

mine is the morning of roomof open bees and clouds coming in the window and leaving more lies on the floor dust particles of cosmogenic stupidity. climbing through my mind combing the tears in the rips for maybe something will come together in the bliss. But this is now and the anchors of hearts touching and the hopes for heaven but stealing looks at the ceiling and the dust around the bulb not working.

Lots of changes in our West Roseville real estate market in the past year. For that matter, a lot of changes in the real estate market in the United States, thanks in large part to interest rate changes!
As Kiplinger shares, “The Fed Turns Dovish!” According to author David Payne, “Some investors are betting on a rate cut, but are likely to be disappointed. They think the slowing global economy will force the Fed to backtrack. However, Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized March 19 that many things are going right: Wages are growing, consumer confidence has rebounded, and financial conditions are good. He said that economic fundamentals are strong. Cutting rates would look pessimistic, and the Fed is not pessimistic.” Sounds like relatively good news for home buyers.
According to the latest update newsletter from Big Valley lender, Rodney Anderson, “Rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage trended downward again, according to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week ending March 21. Rates have dropped sharply since November 2018.” Great news, indeed!
Aren’t the flowering fruit trees a sweet delight as we drive around all of Roseville and the surrounding greater Sacramento Valley? I thought they’d make a lovely background for the latest West Roseville real estate market update trends for our 95747 zip code area.
Apparently last month was VERY active and we’re a bit slower (RAIN!). BUT overall between now and last year, we are AHEAD!
Del Webb The Club at Westpark – there were about 15 sold over past 6 months and 29 homes sold over past year.
Silverado Homes at Eskaton – there were about 15 sold over past 6 months and 29 homes sold over past year.
Sun City Roseville California – there were about 92 homes sold over the past 6 months and185 over the past year.
Sun City Roseville continues to lead in sales, which makes perfect sense, since it is so much bigger than the other communities. Giving you a great choice from a large golf retirement community with tons of options or a smaller setting retirement community – both with great activity options and each with their own specialities for the specific needs of various buyers. A win-win-win all around.
Happy Spring in West Roseville CA 95747!

Appreciation is one thing that a person can never get enough of. Being thanked for things done should always be done by people who we have done service at.
A small token of appreciation is always appreciated. That is why I have given a single cup coffee maker to my boss.
She has taught me so much for the past years with skills needed at my job and skills that I do not need know but will serve me in the long run. She is always busy but she always gives me the time to coach me.
She never even scolded, not once ,even when I am wrong. Since her birthday is coming up, I am thinking maybe she should have a single cup coffee maker because I see her and how she always makes her cup of coffee using instant coffee and we all know what that tastes like.
With the single cup coffee maker, she will be able to make coffee easily (Just like with instant coffee) and it will taste great too.

Page from clipping scrapbooks with clipping from The North American Medical Review regarding Eliza Grier ["Clizo" Ann Grier]. Eliza Anna Grier was an African American woman who graduated from Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1897.
This account of Grier's licensing to practice in the state of Georgia treats her accomplishment and ambition as a novelty, pointedly noting her "coal black" skin and describing her as a "woman of quick wit, speaking well and giving evidence of good education." The fact that Grier's licensing was considered newsworthy, and that this article was reprinted in multiple newspapers around the country, reflects just how rare African American woman physicians were in the late 19th century.
What are some of the words and phrases used by the author to describe Eliza ("Clizo") Grier that would not be used today? Why would we not use those words today? Why do you think the author used them in 1898?
According to the quote in the article, why does Grier say she decided to become a physician?
Coal Black Woman Doctor. – Clizo Ann Grier, a coal black negress, has been licensed to practice medicine by the Georgia board of state medical examiners. The board of white physicians were astonished when the negress presented herself for examination. It was the first application made to the board by a woman of her race, and she is the first colored woman admitted to practice in the state. She presented a diploma from the Woman’s Medical College of Philadelphia, and was found to be thoroughly informed in her profession. Dr. Grier said: “When I saw colored women doing all the work in cases of accouchment and all the fee going to some white doctor who merely looked on, I asked myself why should I not get the fee myself. For this purpose I have qualified. I went to Philadelphia, studied medicine hard, procured my degree, and have came back to Atlanta, where I have lived all my life, to practice my profession. Some of the best white doctors in the city have welcomed me, and say that they will give me an even chance in the profession. That is all I ask.” Dr. Grier is a woman of quick wit, speaking well and giving evidence of good education. She will hang out her shingle for general practice, and says she will make no discrimination on account of color.

You know what happens when a blogger buys a half flat of strawberries? Blog a series of posts about strawberry recipes. I’ve had fun coming up with these recipes, hoping they will actually taste good. It’s all about experimenting.
Experimenting – that’s what my new friend Angel told me yesterday that she was doing when she came up with a butter cream (at least that’s my name for it) for cornbread. She makes the cornbread in a round small pan and tops it with a walnut or pecan. I purchased one of these at a vintage shop called Sugar Shack. A tiny container filled with the butter cream came with the cornbread. When I bit into that warm cornbread spread with the cream, my oh my, it tasted incredu-licious! My sweet friend is a talented baker and makes fancies like wedding cakes, too. But I’ll stop on that note because I’ve invited her to guest blog for Kitchen Hospitality. That’s going to be a treat for all of us.
Mix lemon pudding mix, cream cheese, and whipping cream with hand mixer.
Cut fresh strawberries in small pieces and add to pudding and whipping cream mixture.
Add cashew milk to pudding mixture and blend well.
Optional: Top with sliced strawberries.
This pudding also makes a good fruit dip. Enjoy with your favorite fruit or as a light pudding dessert.
If you come up with something else that this Lemon Strawberry Cheesecake Pudding recipe tastes good with, let me know in the comment section. I’d love to hear from you.

An acknowledgement of this unsatisfactory status quo has led European governments belatedly to question their deference to American leadership in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It has also persuaded more and more social activists in civil society in this country and elsewhere to rely on nonviolent tactics of solidarity with Palestinian resistance, especially by way of the BDS Campaign that has been gathering momentum in the last year; and it is approaching a tipping point that seems to be making Israeli leaders noticeably nervous. Both of these challenges to the Oslo diplomatic approach are based on the belief that Israel has demonstrated its unwillingness to reach a political compromise with Palestine on the basis of a negotiated settlement even within a biased ‘peace process’ overseen by the US as partisan intermediary. In effect, there will not be solution to the conflict without the exertion of greatly increased international pressures on Israel to scale back its territorial ambitions. Such an outlook reflects the influential view that the time has come to resort to coercive means to induce Israeli leaders and Zionists everywhere to rethink their policy options along more enlightened lines. The implicit goal is that by means of this pressure from without, a “South African solution” will suddenly emerge as a result of an abrupt turnaround in Israeli policy.
Jeremy Hammond offers readers another approach, not incompatible with mounting pressure, and maybe complementary with it. In this meticulously researched, lucidly reasoned, and comprehensively narrated book, Hammond insists that not only has the Oslo style “peace process” turned out to be a bridge to nowhere, but that the United States Government, in criminal complicity with Israel, has actively and deliberately opposed any steps that could result in the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Such an assessment poses a frontal challenge to the universally affirmed two-state supposed goal of these negotiations. Even Netanyahu has, at times, given lip service to an endorsement of a Palestinian state—although in the heat of an electoral campaign a few months ago he showed his true hand to the Israeli public by promising that no Palestinian state would come into being as long as he was prime minister. Netanyahu’s flight from hypocrisy was further reinforced by appointing Danny Danon, a longtime extremist opponent of Palestinian statehood, as the next Israeli ambassador to the UN, which can also be interpreted as another slap in Obama’s face. In this regard, it was the White House that did the heavy lifting to keep alive as long as possible the credibility of the flawed Oslo peace promise by insisting that this was the one and only path to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In a refusal to adjust to this new Israeli posture, in Washington and at the UN, there is no departure from the consensus that a directly negotiated “two state solution” is the only path to peace, coupled with the totally fatuous tactical priority that what would alone be helpful is to persuade the parties to return to the negotiating table. Recent American presidents are all on record as devoting their maximum effort to reach these discredited goals and treat all other tactics employed on behalf of the Palestinians as “obstacles” that set back the prospect of ending the conflict. The US Government joins with Israel in condemning all forms of international pressures to alter the status quo of the occupation, including Palestinian initiatives to be acknowledged as a full-fledged state within the UN System (a seemingly uncontroversial sequel to receiving diplomatic recognition as a state by more than 120 members of the UN) or to seek remedies for their grievance by recourse to the International Criminal Court. The United State has helped Israel use the Oslo peace process as a holding operation that gives Tel Aviv the time it needs to undermine once and for all Palestinian expectations of Israeli withdrawal and Palestinian sovereign rights. The whole Israeli idea is to make the accumulation of facts on the ground (that is, the unlawful settlement archipelago, its supportive Jews-only road network, and the unlawful separation wall) into “the new normal” that paves the way for a unilaterally imposed Israeli one-state solution combined with either Palestinian Bantuization or third class citizenship in an enlarged Israel.
As Hammond convincingly explains, the structures of government in the United States have been subverted to the extent that it is implausible to expect any alteration of this pattern of American unconditional support for Israel, at least in relation to the Palestinians, to come from within the government. Hammond also portrays the mainstream media as complementing this partisan governmental role, indicting particularly the New York Times as guilty of one-sided journalism that portrays the conflict in a manner that mostly accords with Israeli propaganda and sustains the malicious myth that the US is doing everything possible to achieve a solution in the face of stubborn Palestinian rejectionism. In this regard, Hammond informs readers in his preface that Obstacle to Peace is explicitly written to wake up the American people to these overriding realities with the intention of providing the tools needed by the public to challenge the special relationship on behalf of justice and the national interests and values of the American republic. Without making the argument overtly, Hammond is providing the public with the sorts of understanding denied to it by a coopted media. What Hammond does for the reader is to show in painstaking detail and on the basis of an impressive accumulation of evidence what an objective account of Israeli-Palestinian relations looks like, including by correcting the gross misreporting of the interactions in Gaza that have led to a series of wars waged by the totally dominant armed forces of Israel against the completely vulnerable civilian population of Gaza. In an illuminating sense, if the media was properly doing its job of objective reporting, Hammond’s book would be almost superfluous. Hammond’s democratic major premise is that if Americans know the truth about Israeli-Palestinian relations, there will result a mobilization of opposition that produces a new political climate in which elected leaders will be forced to heed the will of the people and do the right thing.
In my view, Obstacle to Peace is the book we have long needed, utterly indispensable for a correct understanding of why the conflict has not been resolved up to this point, and further, why the path chosen makes a just and sustainable peace between Israel and Palestine a “mission impossible.” Hammond goes further than this devastating exposure of past policy failures by offering guidelines for what he sensibly believes is the only viable way forward. Only the future will determine whether a grassroots movement can induce a repudiation of the dysfunctional special relationship, and if this should happen, whether it then leads Israel to act rationally to uphold its own security by finally agreeing to the formation of a Palestinian state. In Hammond’s view, ending the occupation and securing Palestinian statehood is the immediate goal of a reconstructed diplomacy, but not necessarily the end point of conflict resolution. He defers consideration of whether a unified secular state is the best overall solution until the Palestinians as a state are able to negotiate on the basis of equality with Israel, and then to be in a position to rely on diplomacy to finally fulfill their right of return, which has been deferred far too long.
In the end, Hammond’s extremely instructive book provides a fact-based overall account of the major facets of this complex relationship between Israel and Palestine and can be read as a plea to Americans to reclaim historical agency and act as citizens, not subjects. This plea is not primarily about the improper use of taxpayer revenues, but is concerned with activating the soul of American democracy in such a way that enables the country once more to act as a benevolent force in the world and, most concretely, to create the conditions that would bring peace with justice to the Palestinian people.
