24.11.2019 - The European Championship for thematic philately at Verona - After the event: innovation and quality
The event now behind us, it is the time for the first reflections. Two are the aspects on which the general commissioner, Paolo Guglielminetti, wanted to focus
Roma (26th November 2019) - The results of the European Championship for Thematic Philately (Ectp) were released immediately after their public presentation, on the night between 23 and 24 November. The Spanish collector Francisco Piniella excelled with the exhibit "The conquest of horizon", which deserved 96 points and the large gold medal.
Now is the time for reflection. "Innovation and quality are the two words with which I would like to recall this event", comments the general commissioner, Paolo Guglielminetti. "The three days of «Veronafil» brought the great international thematic philately in Italy, with the first edition of this competition in our territory. Fifty-four studies from fifteen countries, with 80% of collectors present in person to receive the comment of the jurors and confront the other enthusiasts in the various aggregative moments, from the seminar under the aegis of the Fédération internationale de philatélie (with over thirty participants) to the assembly of the Italian center for thematic philately”.
Innovation, due to several new elements, even at international level, such as:
- an entirely computerized management of all the operations of registration, acceptance and evaluation of the collections, for the first time applied at the level of the European Championship for Thematic Philately, which made possible to manage the operations with high efficiency;
- a well-attended palmarès, also thanks to the coincidence with the celebrations for the centenary of the Federation among Italian philatelic societies. With the presence of top personalities of world and European philately, it was organized in an original way through brief illustrated presentations of the champions' participations in each category, followed by the jurors’ public voting to choose the best of all;
- the presence, for the first time in such a venue, of a philatelic expert, called to work alongside the jury to assess any doubtful and counterfeit pieces, considering the high quality level -and comparable to the other classes- of the material exhibited nowadays in the thematic exhibits;
- the display of all the collections, both online on the expo.fsfi.it site, and through the preparation of a Usb card with the related scans, offered to exhibitors.
Also noteworthy was the quality, uncommon for a specialized exhibition, with twelve titles that reached the level of gold and large gold medal according to the evaluations of the international jury, reflecting the level of excellence achieved. Not to mention a continuous presence of visitors among the frames, much higher than the one normally seen in competitive exhibitions.

It’s Not Your Job To Save Comics
Columns, News, Op-ed
By Alex Mansfield
It is not your job to save the comic book industry. You are a consumer and a fan, someone who is under no obligation to change your preferred purchasing methodology to cater to others. If you do not want to buy single issues in lieu of only buying trades, go for it. If you don’t feel like committing to a book three months in advance, don’t. If you want to buy digitally only, go e-reader nuts, my friend. No other media industry asks as much of its base than the comic book industry does, and there are several valid reasons and complexities as to why, but ultimately, folks, you are 100% responsibility-free when it comes to how you choose to consume your hobby.
Personally, I buy very few single issues because I prefer to read series in trade and get a complete story arc all in one place. But I don’t think I should feel bad about that. Obviously, if a book doesn’t sell enough single issues the trade that I so covet may never come to be, I get that, but I refuse to blame myself for how a company chooses to distribute their product. Publishers, like any other business, are the ones that are supposed to adapt their strategy and business model around what the market demands, not the other way around. Undoubtedly, they’re the ones with the hard data that helps them decide what is most financially sound or at least make educated guesses about what stands the best shot at turning a profit once collected. But I’m going to continue to buy things the way I want and if I’m in the minority, if I’m somehow one of only a handful that says paying upwards of five dollars for 20 pages once a month isn’t my preference, then that’s my choice and I’ll live with the consequences. But then it’s their job to take into consideration that instead of the fifteen dollars or so I would have excitedly handed over to them for a collected edition, they now have zero dollars. Do with that information what you will, publishers.
This book is great, more people should read it because they would likely love it, but its fate shouldn’t have to rest on your efforts
There’s a difference between eagerly supporting something you love and making concessions for something you love. Disappointed with cancellations of high-quality books (She-Hulk comes to mind), series that are largely auteur-driven and take place outside the never-ending monotony of events and the like, there’s been a strong push from fans to save other deserving titles from a similar fate. And that is fucking great and amazing and commendable all mixed together into a menagerie of comic book fandom. Those fans, specifically many a Gotham Academy reader, are trying to get the word out about a book they feel passionate about in danger of getting cancelled. They already read this book and are asking others to do the same, in the hopes that it simply hasn’t found itself in the hands of thousands who would absolutely dig it and ensure a long and healthy print run. I love what these fans are doing and throw my voice in with theirs in encouraging others to check out that wonderful series. But if you haven’t or you don’t want to for whatever reason and it gets cancelled, that’s not your fault. It would be a monumental bummer if it gets cancelled, but that’s what the market dictated and that’s the way it is. It’s shitty, but that’s how it is.
There are so many aspiring creators, and hell, so many very well established creators who are going the independent route and creating amazing works that are exploring much more substantive, daring and innovative ideas. These creators desperately depend on pre-orders, an archaic mechanism of the industry’s ass backwards distribution. All right, that’s not entirely accurate, but the pre-order system is unlike anything else in media distribution. Having to decide your tastes three months in advance is strange, but if there’s something upcoming from a creative team you know you love or a concept or character that is one of your favorites, then this works out marvelously for all involved parties. But since the success and even long-term (hell, mid-term) existence of the book is inherently linked to your clairvoyance, that’s a lot of pressure to put on a consumer. Independent films don’t ask you to buy your tickets months in advance, and while that’s not a fair apples-to-apples comparison, I realize, it’s perhaps the closest example we can work with. Choose to support books sight unseen if you want, more power to you. That unbridled sense of community and support structure is part of what makes comics wonderfully unique and tight-knit, but don’t feel pressured into supporting something because its failure can be partly attributed to how you want to consume your media.
In this unyielding technological age, with comics having several new methods for getting themselves into the hands of potential readers, the current model is obtuse. If going digital means harming brick-and-mortar shops, then maybe those shops weren’t very good to begin with. There’s a mountain of data that shows that the growing digital market hasn’t harmed the print market in any significant way and, if anything, digital distribution costs allow for great chances of success for books previously on the precipice of cancellation. Those who love buying print comics are going to continue to do so and there will always be a place for print, but don’t let a shop owner bully you into feeling responsible for ‘the death of real comics’ because your preference has changed. How are shops supposed to survive if more and more people turn towards digital? Guess what, that’s their problem to figure out! They’re the business! Deciphering how to serve clients best is entirely on them. Let the market shape the means.
Comics are a hobby to most, an outlet to others and a profession for a small few. It should not be that the hobbyist is required to place the survival of an industry, or the survival of specific works, on their shoulders. I realize things are more intricate than I am perhaps laying them out to be here and I am genuinely sympathetic to the trials and tribulations artists and writers are faced with when simply trying to release their work out into the world. If you feel passionately about a work, by all means scream it from the rooftops and do your darndest to raise awareness or buy multiple copies to distribute or whatever it is you are actively willing to do to share your feelings. If you want to wait for the trade on a book, but are afraid it won’t happen, feel free to evaluate if you want to buy the single issues to ensure you get something. That’s your call. But don’t let the current system dictate to you how to spend your money. That’s their job. Let your wallet tell them how and what you’re willing to pay for and let them scramble to figure out the best way to provide that. It is your job to buy what you want, enjoy what you like and keep an open mind about trying different books. Go read Gotham Academy already.
Do what you feel like. Be like the boy. Buy comics however you want to buy comics. We Like Roy!

N. Texas Opportunity Fund Sues Hammerman & Gainer
© 2014 The Texas Lawbook. By Jeff Bounds Staff Writer for The Texas Lawbook (April 24) – A Dallas private equity fund is taking officials of a Louisiana company to task over allegations that they secretly set up a “shell” company to funnel money out of the business when the fund owned a piece of that company, court records show. The North Texas Opportunity Fund LP alleges in a petition filed April 9 in state district court in Dallas that officials of Hammerman & Gainer International Inc. surreptitiously set up the shell business partly so they could enrich themselves. Hammerman & Gainer previously was based in Irving, and shifted its headquarters to New Orleans in late 2008, court documents say. Additionally, the petition alleges, Hammerman & Gainer officials wanted to reduce the value of their company in anticipation of buying back the private equity fund’s 3 million preferred shares, for which it paid a total of $3 million between 2004 and 2005. “The fund was alerted by government authorities that Hammerman & Gainer and its related entities and principals were being investigated and hid revenue and profits from the fund. We believe they did hide revenue and profits, and we intend to aggressively pursue all of our claims,” said Arthur Hollingsworth, a partner at the fund, which has in excess of $25 million in capital under management. The fund previously sued the defendants over this same set of issues in 2012. North Texas Opportunity and the defendants agreed to postpone that litigation because of an on-going criminal investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, court documents show. North Texas Opportunity officials said in their petition this week that they received a grand jury subpoena from the

"RED DUST" RISES IN TORONTO (article first published : 2004-09-16)
South African cinema made a triumphant entry into the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival with the World Premiere of the gripping Truth and Reconciliation Commission drama, Red Dust. In attendance were its stars: Oscar winner, Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry), BAFTA nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (Dirty Pretty Things), Jamie Bartlett (Isidingo, Beyond Borders), its director Tom Hooper and its producers Anant Singh, Helena Spring, David Thompson and Ruth Caleb.
Red Dust received an overwhelming response from the capacity audience which applauded the stars and the director as the spotlight focused on them at the end of the screening.
There was also strong representation of South Africans in attendance, among whom were the Chief Executive of the National Film And Video Foundation, Eddie Mbalo, producer Mfundi Vundla and Industrial Development Corporation executives Moses Silinda and Basil Ford, as well as director, Darrell James Roodt and actress Leleti Khumalo who are at the Festival to present Yesterday (also produced by Anant Singh) which has its North American Premiere tonight in Toronto.
"We are delighted with the great response to Red Dust,” said producer, Anant Singh. "Red Dust tells one story of the Truth And Reconciliation Commission but it also represents the tens of thousands of cases that the Commission heard across South Africa and the healing process of the Commission. The Toronto audience were totally engaged by the film. The film is enhanced by great performances of both the international actors and our local actors among whom are Marius Weyers, Ian Roberts and Jamie Bartlett," added Singh.
Red Dust is an intense, suspense drama set during South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings and explores its decisive struggle to heal the wounds of apartheid atrocities. The film masterfully blends powerful characters with serious political and ethical questions about oppression and healing. In the film, African National Congress Member of Parliament Alex Mpondo and human rights lawyer Sarah Barcant find their lives changed forever by a hearing in the small town of Smitsriver.
Early reviews coming out of Toronto have been very positive with Canada's national daily newspaper declaring, "Red Dust is a nuanced and engrossing court-room drama," and the Hollywood Reporter said, "The film maintains a lively pace, and the story contains enough twists and turns to sustain interest."
Red Dust was shot on location in Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape and in Johannesburg. It will be released in South Africa on January 7 2005 through United International Pictures.

We had to cancel at the last minute because my husbands dad got deathly sick and is still recooperating in the hospital. I probably will never get a chance again for a trip like this but I’d be estatic if I happened to win.

Shutdown Blues Will Grip Democrats
The Phyllis Schlafly Report
By John and Andy Schlafly
Government shutdowns are supposed to favor Democrats, according to conventional wisdom. All they need do, pundits pompously declare, is wait patiently until the Republican President caves into their demands.
That is the mindset that brought us the current shutdown. Senate Democrats dug in and refused to approve the modest $5.7 billion in funding for the border wall as approved by the House of Representatives.
But President Trump’s approval rating has remained steady during the shutdown, according to the respected Hill-HarrisX survey. This is in contrast with how President Clinton’s approval rating plummeted 10 points during the 1995-96 shutdown.
This leaves Democrats in a quandary they did not expect. President Trump, unlike past Republican presidents, may stand his ground and refuse to buckle.
The shutdown disarms the Democrats of their most powerful weapon against Trump: investigations by the House of Representatives, soon to be controlled by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. With committee majorities starting in 2019, Democrats could serve subpoenas on anyone they choose, from Trump’s children to his biggest supporters.
Pelosi is lawyering-up with attorneys who want to impeach the president. Fourteen of the nation’s most aggressive and partisan lawyers are already working for Robert Mueller, but there is no shortage of liberal hacks anxious to take on the assignment of trying to bring down a conservative president.
The House Democrats plan to launch many investigations and hold numerous committee hearings against conservatives other than Trump. If someone turns on the lights, heats the buildings, pays the congressional staff, and serves the subpoenas, that is.
The shutdown postpones some of these bad things from happening. Liberals are not interested in working for free in a cold building, and investigations go nowhere if subpoenas cannot be enforced.
As Trump enjoys a rock-solid base of support, he is probably asking himself why he would want to fund Pelosi and the House Democrats to harass him, his family, and his supporters. The spectacle of Pelosi not having funds to accomplish her political mischief should be appealing to the president and all conservatives.
There has already been enough wasteful distraction caused by the funding of Robert Mueller and his search for non-existent crimes. The shutdown prevents a multiplication of that in the House.
The shutdown may even cause unexpected problems for the Mueller investigation itself, despite official denials. The Department of Justice insists that the Mueller probe will be unaffected by the shutdown, but reports are that President Trump thinks otherwise and he may well be right.
Federal district courts around the country are warning attorneys that court funding could run out by mid-January, which would place federal litigation on hold. Several federal courts have already suspended their pending cases involving the United States.
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will need to prioritize the urgent cases in the Department of Justice as resources dwindle and dry up in courthouses and in his department. It is difficult to see how Mueller’s searching for imaginary crimes would rank as more important than processing drug kingpins.
Mueller depends on support by the Department of Justice for serving subpoenas, bringing people into custody, and making court appearances. Whitaker could politely decline that support of Mueller due to the shutdown, as there is no reason why Mueller should get special treatment over other investigations.
Mueller has already run aground in his effort to hold a foreign corporation in contempt. Chief Justice John Roberts intervened in that potential abuse of power by Mueller, and has set a briefing scheduling before allowing Mueller to move forward on that front.
But heat and light will be needed at the federal courthouses to resolve that and other pending issues in the Mueller investigation. Staff may not show up unless paid, and Chief Justice Roberts will not be assuming the role of the clerk to accept newly filed briefs.
The Constitution may require keeping the lights on at the Supreme Court, although it is unclear who could enforce this if bills are not paid. The Constitution does not require continued funding for all other federal courts, which exist entirely at the discretion of Congress.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has long been a liberal hangout to interfere with job creation, suffered the same fate that its regulations have caused to many businesses. Last week the EPA furloughed 13,705 employees, telling them to stay home without pay.
That means a slowdown in EPA regulations and enforcement actions, which is good for the economy. It is a temporary hardship on the EPA employees, but far more employees of businesses hurt by EPA regulations have permanently lost their jobs because of it.
So what is the hurry for ending the shutdown? Stand strong, Mr. President, and watch the Democrats beat a path to your door to end the shutdown, on your terms.

Trump’s Christmas Echoes the One in 1776
For the 22nd time since 1975, an impasse between Congress and the President has resulted in a partial shutdown of non-essential government offices. Like the 21-day shutdown in 1995-96, this one is occurring over the Christmas holidays when little government work is done anyway.
Members of Congress went home after failing to approve a modest down-payment on essential border security. Thankfully, President Trump has stood strong for building a wall along our southern border, where over 100,000 people crossed illegally last year.
Of course the Republican Congress should have addressed this long ago, not days before they lose their majority in the House. It should not have required a successful “GoFundMe” fundraising effort for the wall to prod the House to finally authorize $5.7 billion to fund it.
Some Democrats are refusing to support a border wall merely because Trump supports it. As Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) said last week, “I talked to four Democrats that said: ‘Look, if you just stop calling it the wall, we’re in.’”
Democrats have thought that a shutdown always works to their advantage, but that calculation changed after Republicans benefited from the Schumer shutdown last January. Trump had generously offered to sign legislation protecting the children of illegal aliens, but his offer was rebuffed by Schumer and Pelosi.
Democrats claim they support “border security,” but what they really mean is money to process thousands of bogus claims of asylum by people hoping to land in the great American safety net while they wait for their claims to be heard. Trump has outfoxed the asylum industry by requiring claimants to remain in Mexico while they wait.
To reinforce his commitment to protect Americans first, the president also announced plans to withdraw troops from Syria, where ISIS has been decimated, along with a reduction of our involvement in the 17-year, no-win war in Afghanistan. He accepted the resignation of the defense secretary who disagreed with these decisions.
Among the D.C. swamp dwellers, many of the same people who resist building a wall on our own border insist that American troops be permanently deployed in faraway countries. They support an endless presence by our soldiers elsewhere, but oppose a wall to protect our own people from the influx of illegal aliens and drugs from Central America.
“We fight for the borders of other countries,” Trump tweeted on December 22, “but we won’t fight for the borders of our own!”
It’s time to recall the first government shutdown in American history, and how a future president won that battle with his bold, decisive action. It was in December of 1776, when General George Washington was camped along the Delaware River in northeastern Pennsylvania.
On December 12, 1776, Congress adjourned without extending the enlistments of American soldiers or approving their pay for the coming year. Members of Congress abandoned Philadelphia, where they had been meeting, because they feared the British troops nearby in New Jersey.
Once the soldiers’ enlistments ran out, the Continental Army would disband and soldiers would return to their farms in the 13 colonies. Some soldiers had already gone home, some were barefoot, food was running short, and winter was coming in.
But Washington was not going to give up the American cause without a fight. In an incredibly bold and risky maneuver, he decided to load his entire army ― men, horses and munitions ― into boats to cross the icy Delaware River on Christmas night.
To inspire his men, Washington ordered them to assemble for a public reading of Thomas Paine’s new pamphlet, “The American Crisis,” which had just been published on December 19: “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
On December 23 and 24, many boats were collected and secured with the help of experienced seamen. The crossing began at sundown December 25, and lasted all night amid horrendous weather: rain, sleet, snow, ice, and winds that were called a hurricane.
It was daylight on December 26 when troops reassembled on the Jersey shore. They marched 9 miles to Trenton where they surprised and defeated a contingent of British-allied Hessian troops, took them prisoner and captured their food, supplies and horses.
That was the early turning point in the American Revolution, thanks to the leadership of George Washington against all odds. Trump displays the same kind of initiative needed to put our Nation back on the path sought by our Founders.
Amid the current Democrat-caused shutdown, Trump delivers to the People the best Christmas present a president can give: leadership to Make America Great Again.

Entrapment of Flynn Takes Another Dark Turn
Life in the Deep State took another dark turn on Tuesday, at the sentencing of Lt. General Michael T. Flynn that did not happen. Instead, he was asked if he had committed treason, which is something not even the partisan Mueller prosecutors ever considered charging him with.
This story would be suitable for Alice in Wonderland if it did not involve an injustice inflicted on an honorable man who risked his life for our Nation. Rather than being able to celebrate Christmas by putting this travesty behind him, Lt. Gen. Flynn is left wondering how his lifelong patriotism was called into question.
In a word, “entrapment” and an unconstitutional independent prosecutor are how the injustice against Lt. Gen. Flynn continues. He was ambushed by an interview that never should have occurred, misled into not having counsel present, and then left helpless against Mueller’s $50 million wrecking machine.
A mere four days after the inauguration of President Trump, then-FBI Director James Comey sent senior agents to ambush Lt. Gen. Flynn with a surprise interview. Comey admits that this was not ordinary procedure, and that proper protocol is to arrange such interviews through attorneys.
It was a setup of Lt. Gen. Flynn, with the since-discredited agents of the Deep State Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok playing their parts. Both have since been fired but as Shakespeare observed, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.”
Lt. Gen. Flynn had been an outspoken supporter of President Trump which liberals consider unforgivable. Outside the federal courthouse on Tuesday, a crowd of Leftists chanted against him.
Flynn never would have been prosecuted by a properly functioning Department of Justice, but the unconstitutional Mueller investigation has spent more than a fortune hunting for crimes. The former National Security Advisor to President Trump would be a trophy for Mueller to justify his prosecutorial crusade, so after Flynn he went.
As a career veteran of the Armed Forces, Flynn lacked the resources to spend millions on attorneys to defend himself. A billionaire could have run multiple appeals of this case up to the Supreme Court, but Flynn’s career does not produce the war chest that businessmen have to dismiss these cases.
This Kafkaesque nightmare was supposed to end Tuesday morning at sentencing before the federal district court in D.C., where Flynn was expected to receive leniency. But instead the hearing unraveled when Judge Emmet G. Sullivan asked if Lt. Gen. Flynn’s conduct “rises to the level of treasonous activity.”
The unexpected question stung for the family of the man who has repeatedly risked his life defending our Nation. Even one of Mueller’s prosecutors then defended Lt. Gen. Flynn by stating that the investigation never considered charging Lt. Flynn with treason.
After a break, Judge Sullivan took back his question about treason, and urged everyone not to read too much into his comments. Judge Sullivan has been tough on prosecutors too, and a common mistake of bystanders is to place too much emphasis on speculative remarks in court.
But the emotional dismay at the injustice became too much at that point. Flynn’s attorneys felt compelled to request postponement of the sentencing, and the court requested a status report by March 13, 2019.
In the meantime, numerous secret filings in this case are not helping anyone except Mueller’s perpetual taxpayer-funded investigations of anyone he wants. Unsealing the records and removing his redactions would serve justice.
Judge Sullivan ordered Mueller to file a “302” report of the fateful interview of Lt. Gen. Flynn, which Mueller had long withheld from Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley. Mueller ultimately filed a heavily redacted “302” report with the district court on Monday, but he continues to conceal from the public how Flynn was entrapped by the Deep State.
On Tuesday Mueller submitted to the court yet another document under seal, which further withholds from the public what is really going on. All this is contrary to the Constitution, which requires that criminal trials be conducted in open court, and not be based on secret information.
The FBI already knew the answers to the questions it asked of Lt. Gen. Flynn during his fateful interview in January 2017, due to its secret wiretaps of his conversations. But entrapment may have been the goal of the Deep State, the term for the entrenched intelligentsia in D.C. that continued to oppose President Trump after his election by the American People.
We are more than two years past the presidential campaigns of 2016, and there is no plausible justification for Mueller to conceal so much information in his filings from the public that is footing Mueller’s bill. With no end in sight for Mueller’s probe, there should at least be some transparency.

Trump Derails the Marrakech Express
A new attempt to impose globalism unfolds in Marrakech, Morocco, under the guise of helping migrants. Most of the 193 countries in the United Nations convened there in order to create new international law to require every participating country to accept vast hordes of foreign migrants, and be subjected to this new form of globalism.
Any other president, Republican or Democrat, would probably welcome and join this undermining of national sovereignty. But in another reminder of how great Trump is, he leads the way in denouncing this virulent strain of globalism.
Called the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration, the Marrakech meeting would prevent the American people from deciding immigration policy for ourselves. Trump has posted multiple reasons why the United States and every country should reject this bad idea.
“We believe the Compact and the process that led to its adoption, including the New York Declaration, represent an effort by the United Nations to advance global governance at the expense of the sovereign right of States to manage their immigration systems in accordance with their national laws, policies, and interests.”
That sounds like something Phyllis Schlafly might have written during her lifelong opposition to treaties that undermine American interests. But the above statement was issued by none other than President Trump, and is available on the official usun.state.gov website.
“Decisions about how to secure its borders, and whom to admit for legal residency or to grant citizenship, are among the most important sovereign decisions a State can make, and are not subject to negotiation, or review” by international courts and documents, he explains.
In August, an international tribunal called the European Court of Human Rights commanded that Hungary provide food to migrants and refugees held in detention camps. It is no surprise that Hungary has joined the growing number of countries which are following President Trump’s bold leadership in rejecting the Compact.
Other countries imitating Trump by pulling out of this globalist Compact include Austria, Australia, Chile, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Slovakia and the Dominican Republic. Notice the immense diversity among nations rejecting this globalism.
Additional countries, including Bulgaria and Israel, are also considering getting out of this deal. The political coalition that rules Belgium has collapsed due to conservative opposition to how her prime minister has pushed that country into joining the Compact.
President Trump, in his official statement on behalf of the United States, properly criticizes the use of the legalistic name “Compact,” rather than the traditional labels of convention or a treaty. “Compact” implies binding legal obligations.
Proponents of global governance look for ways to bypass the Treaty Clause of the Constitution, which requires a supermajority of two-thirds approval by the Senate in order to ratify foreign treaties. Many treaties have been signed by American presidents but thankfully never ratified by the Senate, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Paris Agreement on so-called climate change.
President Obama approved both of those treaties, which were also deceptively named to avoid the use of the word “treaty.” Trump campaigned against them in 2016 and they have never become law.
“The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France,” President Trump tweeted on Saturday morning about the violent protests there which have been the worst in decades.
The Compact on migration includes a “right to privacy” provision that is not recognized by international law, and should be rejected so that it is not misused to become some kind of international right to abortion. Most countries have strong pro-life laws and are subjecting themselves to judicial activism by an international tribunal if they remain in the Compact.
“Migration should not be governed by an international body unaccountable to our own citizens,” President Trump declared in a statement issued by the White House. He cited the Monroe Doctrine for the principle that we do not accept interference of foreign nations in our hemisphere.
It was nearly 200 years ago, in 1823, when President James Monroe promulgated that famous doctrine against European nations intermeddling in the affairs of the Americas. The Monroe Doctrine was based on the simple observation that the Old and New Worlds have different political systems and it is “dangerous to our peace and safety” to allow the systems to mix.
Likewise, it is dangerous to try to mix our American liberty and prosperity with migrants who may hate us, or at least not respect our culture and values. President Trump proves once again his tremendous leadership in being the first to reject the Compact, thereby setting a model which many other countries are following now.
As other countries are rejecting globalism thanks to President Trump, they are making their own countries great again.

Trump Train Pauses for One Who Missed It
Amid well-deserved praise for former President George H.W. Bush, unfortunately he did miss the Trump Train. Yet President Trump is showing his class by paying his respects anyway.
It is difficult to imagine two Republicans who are more different from each other than George H.W. Bush and Donald Trump. Bush based his career on the Establishment, while Trump rose by defying it.
Bush pushed for a “New World Order” and entangled us in foreign wars. Trump promotes national sovereignty and seeks to Make American Great Again.
Bush generally pandered to the liberal media, which mostly got its way with him. Trump is not afraid to take on liberals in the media and call them out.
Bush pledged “read my lips: no new taxes,” but then raised taxes anyway. Trump has not caved in on any of his campaign promises despite enormous pressure to do so.
Everything about Bush was a mixed bag, a compromise, and a combination of the bitter with the sweet. Everything about Trump is unambiguous, clear, and sharply defined.
Despite their contrasts and how the Bush family broke with precedent by refusing to support Trump, he has graciously put the federal government at the service of those honoring the 41st president. Now is a good time to observe how much the Republican Party has changed since it was Bush’s party.
The Bush political dynasty began when Bush’s father, Prescott Bush, was elected U.S. Senator from Connecticut in 1952. As a typical liberal Republican of that era, Prescott Bush voted to censure the anti-communist Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1954, and backed his fellow eastern liberal Senator Henry Cabot Lodge’s last-ditch effort to stop the nomination of Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Prescott Bush, who made his money on Wall Street as a partner of the leading Democratic power broker, W. Averell Harriman, was the epitome of the “eastern establishment.” Like his mentor, Nelson Rockefeller, Bush was an internationalist and a fanatical supporter of birth control, both domestically and around the world.
Senator Prescott Bush’s son George H.W. moved to Texas as young man, first Midland and then Houston, but the apple didn’t fall very far from the family tree. During his brief service in Congress, George H.W. Bush sponsored the landmark legislation that made family planning a federal priority, the program known as Title X, which distributes $56 million a year in taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood.
Bush was a supportive acolyte to Ronald Reagan during his eight years as vice president, but as President Bush he seemed to forget the lessons that made Reagan so successful. Reagan was not a globalist, but Bush was.
It was in a high-profile address to Congress on September 11, 1990, that Bush shocked Americans with his proclamation that it was time for a “New World Order.” Ronald Reagan would never have used that kind of language, which Bush kept repeating although he never defined it.
By launching the first Persian Gulf War in 1991, Bush changed American foreign policy from focusing on defense of the homeland to engaging in foreign interventionism. Bush’s war was the first of several futile attempts to impose Western values on Middle Easterners who lack the cultural conditions for democratic self-government.
President Trump, by contrast, has reclaimed and rehabilitated nationalism and America First. As he said in his address to the United Nations in September, “America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.”
Even when it comes to Planned Parenthood, Trump has turned the corner on Bush. New regulations published by the Trump administration would curtail taxpayer funding of groups like Planned Parenthood which violate federal law by using abortion as a method of family planning.
In remembering Bush 41, we should note his affection for our national pastime, ever since he was captain of his college baseball team. As president, Bush honored the holders of two of the most remarkable records in baseball history, both set in 1941: Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak and Ted Williams’ .406 season batting average.
Those records had stood for 50 years when President Bush welcomed the elderly DiMaggio and Williams to the White House in 1991. Another 27 years have gone by since then, but no other baseball player has ever come close to those feats.
Bush set important records of his own, which richly deserve the praise that he is receiving. He was the only president to have received the Distinguished Flying Cross, which he earned for having been shot down during a World War II bombing mission.
Bush also loyally stood by his Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas despite the all-out smear campaign by the Left to stop him. As Bush’s continuing legacy, Thomas has sided with Trump more than Bush did.

Akron Zips vs Utah State Aggies
Tuesday – December 22 – 2:30 pm CT
TV: ESPN
Albertsons Stadium – Boise, Idaho
Records Before the Game:
Akron Zips (7-5, 5-3 MAC)
Utah State Aggies (6-6, 5-3 Mountain West)
How did they get here?
This is just the second bowl appearance in the history of Akron football – losing 38-31 to Memphis in the 2005 Motor City after stunning Northern Illinois for the MAC championship. It’s been a rough fight for head coach Terry Bowden, who’s been trying to resurrect his career after doing a wonderful job at North Alabama for three years, and now 16 years removed from his time at Auburn. He took a dead Akron program and got it close to bowl eligibility over the last two years, and then this season he finally put it together in his fourth season.
Utah State has become a regular in the bowl world with this being its fifth straight appearance, winning the last three. This wasn’t the season the Aggies expected, struggling to come up with any sort of consistency offensively and not cranking out the normally dominant defense, especially against the run. But even though there wasn’t a Mountain West title, and even with losses in three of the last four games, getting to a bowl still matters to a program that was stuck in a vicious run of 12 straight horrible losing seasons. A loss would mean the first losing season since 2010, and while the program is in a better place now, a loss would be a disaster after winning 30 games in three seasons.
The run defense has been a monster. The pass defense hasn’t been too awful, but no one has been able to generate much of anything against an attacking front seven full of all upperclassmen on a defense that starts seven seniors. Oklahoma was held to 100 yards, Pitt ran for 127 and Bowling Green 112. On the year, no one ran for more than 161 – Eastern Michigan got that in a blowout loss – and the 2.83 yards per carry allowed is among the lowest in college football. The pass rush is just okay, and the 75 tackles for loss were solid, but it’s the strong play of the veteran front wall that’s been getting the job done. This group just doesn’t make a whole slew of mistakes, and it should be disciplined and it should be ready for Utah State’s spread attack. The Aggies are 4-1 this year when running for 200 yards or more, but that’s not going to happen in Boise. Akron is going to make Chuckie Keeton throw to make the O go.
While the Akron offense improved a bit when the competition became lighter, overall the Zip offense has been a disaster. Granted, part of the idea is to run the ball, don’t turn the ball over, stay conservative, and let the defense win games, but there’s nothing happening with the downfield passing game on a regular basis. There’s little explosion with the running attack not doing enough to hold its own. The Aggie secondary has been stellar, allowing just 180 yards per game, while the run defense has had its moments. It’s not the dominant force it’s been over the last few years, but it’ll be good enough against an offense that averages just 24 points per game and managed a grand total of 38 points in the five losses.
The Mountain West has dominated the MAC in the last three Potato Bowls, but this one should be a bit of a slugfest. Akron’s defense is too good and too disciplined to let this get out of hand, but the Utah State defense should go back to its old form against a middling Zip attack that won’t go anywhere. Don’t expect any type of a pretty game, but enjoy fantastic linebacker play and a low-scoring battle that should stay close well into the fourth. Final Score: Utah State 21 – Akron 10

Show moreThis collection contains 794 images comprising 122 years of history in Vergennes, Vermont’s oldest city. Featuring a wide range of topics, which date from the 1866 Civil War parade to the 1988 Bicentennial, the collection provides a comprehensive and unusual look at small town life in northern Vermont. These photographs document the full visual spectrum of history in Vergennes, from businesses, industries, and transportation to natural scenery, paintings, and portraits of people who once walked the city’s streets.
These images were scanned from 35mm slides located in the Bixby Memorial Free Library archives in Vergennes. The slides were made around 1987 from color photographs taken of the original images. The originals, mainly of the Vergennes area but including several from Ferrisburgh and Lake Champlain, had accumulated over the years in the library’s historical materials repository. Many of these photographs, along with the slides and accompanying inventory notebook, can be viewed with permission at the library.
The authors of these photographs remain undocumented and anonymous, except for a selection of photographs by local artist Harvey Custer Ingham (1863-1931), a personal friend of local businessman and library founder William Gove Bixby (1829-1907).
Mr. Bixby left funds from his estate for the founding of a public library in the city of Vergennes, including the construction of the imposing Greek revival library building on Main Street. The library opened on November 4, 1912, and in 2012 celebrates a century of continued service to Vergennes and the surrounding towns of Addison, Panton, Waltham, and Ferrisburgh.

Show moreHenry Harrison Wilder enlisted from Weybridge, VT on August 23, 1861 as corporal in Co. F, 5th Vermont Regiment. He was killed in action at Savage's Station, June 29, 1862. Wilder wrote home about conditions at Camp Holbrook in St. Albans, Vermont, and Camp Griffin in Virginia, where the Vermonters were hit hard by disease. Wilder described the progress of the Peninsula Campaign in the spring of 1862, including the battles of Lee's Mill and Williamsburg. Also included is a letter from Sergeant Merrill Samson of Weybridge, Wilder's best friend in the army, giving an account of his death, and several letters of condolence to Wilder's family.

Stranger from Venus
Somewhat unfairly, this movie is sometimes called a cheap knock-off of The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51). Actually, this low-budget British movie does have a little life of its own. It's more of an offshoot than simply a low-budget remake. There are many similarities, one of which is inescapable -- having Patricia Neal as the female lead. But there are several differences too. These are noted in the Notes section below, but overall, the basic plot premise is the same. A stranger comes from outer space, hoping to deliver a message to the leaders of earth. "Be very careful with this nuclear power thing you've just invented. You're about to become a menace to other planets." This remake was done with almost no special effects and barely anything that could pass for action. It would not be hard, at all, to imagine Stranger from Venus (SFV) as a stage play set mostly in the inn's lobby. Nonetheless, the result goes down a few alleys that The Day the Earth Stood Still did not.
Amid some reports of a UFO, a stranger arrives at a rural English inn. He has odd behavior, but otherwise looks normal. The ship that dropped him off caused a woman's car to crash (bright lights blinded her), but he has miraculous healing powers, so she survives unhurt. The stranger (who never does give a name) finally tells everyone (about six people) that he is there to prepare the way for messengers from the planet Venus. Everyone believes him, more or less. The woman, Susan, (played by Patricia Neal) has a fiancee who is a bureaucrat. The government cordons off the area so that no one can get in to find out more, or get out to tell what they've seen. This way, the rest of the country is kept ignorant. The government conspires to capture the returning Venusian ship when it comes to pick up the Stranger and deliver the official messengers. They hope to learn of the advanced technology for their own nationalist benefits. Meanwhile, the stranger and Susan begin to have feelings for each other. The meeting with British officials did not go well, as he can read minds and knows of their duplicity. They lay out a magnetic trap to disable the ship when it lands. The stranger warns them that any foul play will mean the mother ship will simply destroy all life on the earth. Susan's scheming fiancee redeems himself by returning the stranger's stolen communication device. The stranger warns off the ship just in time to prevent its capture, but this also strands him on the earth where he cannot stay alive much longer. The movie closes with him sitting alone by a pond, fingering Susan's scarf lovingly. The camera looks away, and then back. He's gone. (Venusians just vanish when they die). The end.
Seeing a remake of TDESS is fun, if only to see what the writers kept from the original story, and what they changed. Patricia Neal's performance is not remarkable, but her playing the female lead (again) gives the remake a kinship to TDESS.
Cold War Angle
As in TDESS, the message is that nuclear arms are a huge threat. Mankind is being told to step back from the brink before it's too late. That feeling that the world was teetering on the edge was quite pervasive in the 50s. Movies which dealt with this brink had a resonance with audiences.
What's the Same? -- What did SFV have that TDESS did too? A stranger who comes to earth to deliver a warning about mankind's reckless nuclear ambitions. He's mild, kindly, though a bit stoic. He's a healer. He and the female lead develop a bond. The earth risks destruction if it misbehaves. Earth men are an untrustworthy bunch. The stranger cannot stay.
What's New? -- In SFV, there is no robot like Gort (or any robot at all). The stranger is not really the official messenger, but a mere landing coordinator. (He still delivers the message anyway, though) He doesn't die and come back to life. He actually develops a romantic interest in Patricia Neal (they kiss), rather than the purely platonic relationship between Klaatu and Neal. The stranger came from a specific place we've heard of. The stranger doesn't leave on the ship. The ship leaves him, stranded on a world in which he cannot survive for long.
Asteroids' Secret Revealed -- One interesting bit from SFV is that the Stranger says the asteroid belt is actually the debris from a planet whose civilization failed to heed the Venusian's warnings and continued to play fast and loose with weapons of mass destruction. SFV is clearly in the cautionary tale sub-genre. Planet Earth, don't let this happen to YOU!
Budding Conspiracy -- The cultural notion that governments were covering up the truth of UFOs was gaining traction. In SFV, the area around the stranger's landing site is sealed off by the British government. No info in, no info out. In the movies we've seen thus far, governments (usually through the military) will take charge of an alien landing situation, as in TDESS, or Invaders from Mars ('53), but there had been no attempt to cover it up. SFV may be one of the first movies to depict government as controlling and suppressing the truth about an alien landing. This is a notable shift for "government" from protector to conspirator.
Faint Christ -- Where Klaatu was a much stronger allegory for Jesus, (see notes on TDESS, 1951), the Stranger has only a few of those traits. This weakens the character noticeably. The addition of the understated romantic link moves the Stranger character further from Christ model (unless you subscribe to that Jesus and Mary theory). Unlike the Christ-like resurrection and departure to the heavens which Klaatu had at the end, the Stranger is left behind to die. The writers may have approached the Jesus analogy from the other side of the coin. The TDESS writers focused on the deity side. Christ rises from the dead and goes up into the heavens. In SFV, the writers may have focused on the humanity side of Jesus. Christ suffers death as a man to save others.
Bottom line? SFV is an extremely low-budget film with almost zero special effects. If you like lots of rockets or saucers or creepy aliens or explosions, SFV will frustrate or bore you. There is a LOT of standing around and talking. However, if you liked TDESS for its premise, SFV may interest you as an exploration of paths TDESS did not take.

Howdy Movie Fans,
If you watch this movie on its own merit, it is a fairly decent film.
Now, if you compare it to The Day The Earth Stood Still, you may be sadly disappointed.
It does not have the production values nor the spirit of the earlier film.
The atmosphere is just not there.
Patricia Neal seemed to just go through the motions - nothing like when she starred with Michael Rennie.
It is worth watching - not a bad movie.
See you at the movies,
Please save some Bon Bons for me.

Proteins involved in Blood Coagulation
The information on 21 proteins involved in blood coagulation pathway is as follows:
Fibrinogen (factor I) consists of three polypeptide chains - alpha, beta and gamma. It is converted to fibrin (factor Ia) by thrombin (factor IIa). Fibrin forms a mesh around the wound ultimately leading to blood clot. The inherited disorders caused due to mutations in fibrinogen include afibrinogenemia (complete lack of fibrinogen), hypofibrinogenemia (reduced levels of fibrinogen) and hyperfibrinogenemia (dysfunctional fibrinogen). These individuals suffer from thromboembolism.
The gene for factor I is located on the fourth chromosome.
Prothrombin (factor II) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease. It is enzymatically cleaved to thrombin by activated factor X (FXa). Thrombin converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. It also activates factors V, VIII, XI and XIII. Thrombin along with thrombomodulin present on endothelial cell surfaces form a complex that converts protein C to activated protein C (APC). Individuals with prothrombin deficiency have hemorrhagic diathesis. Patients may also suffer from dysprothrombinemia or hypoprothrombinemia. Female patients may suffer from menorrhagia.
The gene for thrombin is located on the eleventh chromosome (11p11-q12).
Tissue factor (factor III) is also called as platelet tissue factor. It is found on the outside of blood vessels and is not exposed to the bloodstream. It initiates the extrinsic pathway at the site of injury. It functions as a high-affinity receptor for factor VII. It acts as a cofactor in the factor VIIa-catalyzed activation of factor X to FXa.
The gene for tissue factor is located on the first chromosome.
Factor V is also referred to as proaccelerin or labile factor. It is enzymatically inactive and acts as a cofactor to the serine protease FXa, which in the presence of calcium ions and an appropriate phospholipid (PL) membrane surface enhances the activation of prothrombin to thrombin. Factor V Leiden mutation causes factor V deficiency or parahemophilia, which is a rare bleeding disorder. It may also lead to myocardial infarction and deep vein thrombosis.
The gene for factor V is located on the first chromosome (1q21-q25).
Factor VII is vitamin K-dependent serine protease. It initiates coagulation by activating factors IX and X simultaneously with tissue factor in the extrinsic pathway. Its deficiency may lead to epitaxis, menorrhagia, hematomas, hemarthrosis, digestive tract or cerebral haemorrhages.
The gene for factor VII is located on the thirteenth chromosome (13q34-qter).
Factor VIII is also known as anti-hemophilic factor (AHF). It is a cofactor in the activation of factor X to FXa, which is catalyzed by factor IXa in the presence of calcium and phospholipids. Mutations in the factor VIII gene results in hemophilia A. It is also called classical hemophilia, an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder. It is the most common type of hemophilia. Pateints suffer from clinical manifestations in their early childhood; spontaneous and traumatic bleeds continue throughout their life.
The gene for factor VIII is located on the long arm of X chromosome (Xq28).
Factor IX is also known as Christmas factor. It is a proenzyme serine protease, which in the presence of calcium activates factor X. Its deficiency cause hemophilia B or Christmas disease. Although, the clinical symptoms of hemophilia A and B are similar, hemophilia B is less severe than hemophilia A. High antigen or activity levels of factor IX is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism.
The gene for factor IX is located on the X chromosome (Xq27.1-q27.2).
Factor X is also known as Stuart-Prower factor. In the presence of calcium and phospholipid, it functions in both intrinsic and extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Factor X is activated to FXa by factors IX and VII. It is the first member of the common pathway of blood coagulation. FXa cleaves prothrombin to thrombin. Its deficiency may cause bleeding diathesis and hemorrhages. Patients commonly suffer from epitaxis, gastrointestinal bleeds and hemarthrosis. Women with factor X deficiency may be susceptible to miscarriages.
The gene for factor X is located on the thirteenth chromosome (13q32-qter).
Factor XI is also known as plasma thromboplastin antecedent. It is a serine protease zymogen which is activated to factor XIa by factor XIIa. Deficiency in factor XI causes injury-related bleeding. The disorder is sometimes referred to as hemophilia C. Individuals with severe deficiency do not show excessive bleeding conditions and hemorrhage normally occurs after trauma or surgery. Female patients may experience menorrhagia and prolonged bleeding after childbirth.
The gene for factor XI is located on the distal end on the long arm of fourth chromosome (4q35).
Factor XII is a plasma protein, also known as Hageman factor. It is the zymogen form of factor XIIa, which activates factor XI and prekallikrein. Its deficiency does not cause excessive hemorrhage due to lack of involvement of factor XIIa in thrombin formation. However, it may increase the risk of thrombosis, due to inadequate activation of the fibrinolytic pathway.
The gene for factor XII is located on the tip of the long arm of the fifth chromosome (5q33-qter).
Factor XIII or fibrin stabilizing factor is the proenzyme form of plasma transglutaminase. It is composed of two subunits- alpha (A) and beta (B). It is activated by thrombin into factor XIIIa in presence of calcium. It forms ε-(γ-glutamyl)-lysyl bonds between the fibrin chains and stabilizes the blood clot. Thus, it reduces the sensitivity of the clot to degradation by proteases. Genetic defects in the factor XIII gene leads to lifelong bleeding diathesis. Patients may also suffer from intercranial bleeding and death.
The gene for F13A is located on the sixth chromosome (6p24-25). The F13B gene is located on the long arm of first chromosome (1q32-32.1).
Antithrombin is also termed antithrombin III. It is an important natural inhibitor of the activated serine proteases of the coagulation system. It majorly inhibits factors Xa, IXa and thrombin. It also has inhibitory effects on factors XIIa, XIa and the complex of factor VIIa and tissue factor. Its activity is accelerated in the presence of heparin. Based on the functional and immunological assays, there are two types of antithrombin deficiency: type I and type II. Type I deficiency is characterized by reduction in the levels of antithrombin available to inactivate the coagulation factors. In case of type II deficiency, the amount of antithrombin present is normal, but it does not function properly. Patients suffer from recurrent venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
The gene for antithrombin is located on the first chromosome (1q23-25).
Protein C is a serine protease enzyme. Its function is to inactivate factors Va and VIIIa. It is activated by thrombin to activated protein C (APC). APC along with protein S degrades factors Va and VIIIa. Protein C deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that causes venous thrombosis. There are two types of protein C deficiency: type I and type II. Type I deficiency results from an inadequate amount of protein C whereas type II deficiency is characterized by defective protein C molecules. Patients may suffer from arterial and venous thrombosis.
The PROC gene is located on the second chromosome (2q13-q14).
Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein. It acts as a cofactor to protein C, thus enhancing the inactivation of factors Va and VIIIa. Mutations in the PROS1 gene can lead to protein S deficiency which increases the risk of thrombosis. There are three types of protein S deficiency: type I, type II and type III. Type I deficiency is characterized by inadequate amount of both free and total protein S levels. Type II deficiency is characterized by normal protein S levels but reduction in functional activity of protein S. Type III deficiency is characterized by low amount of free protein S.
The PROS1 gene for protein S is located on the third chromosome.
Protein Z plays a role in the degradation of factor Xa.
The PROZ gene is located on the thirteenth chromosome (13q34).
von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a multimeric glycoprotein involved in hemostasis. It supports binding of platelets to the site of injury by forming a bridge between collagen matrix and platelet-surface receptor complex. Hereditary or acquired defects of vWF lead to von Willebrand disease. Patients may suffer from bleeding diathesis, menorrhagia and gastrointestinal bleeding.
The gene for vWF is located on short arm of the twelfth chromosome.
Plasminogen is a glycoprotein which circulates as proenzyme. It is converted to plasmin by tissue plasminogen activator (tPA or PLAT) in the presence of a fibrin clot. The main function of plasmin is to dissolve the fibrin of blood clots. Plasminogen plays important role in wound healing and the maintenance of liver homeostasis. Deficiency in plasmin may lead to thrombosis, as clots are not degraded adequately.
The PLG gene for plasminogen is located on sixth chromosome. The PLAT gene for tPA is located on the eighth chromosome.
Heparin cofactor II is a serine protease inhibitor. It inhibits thrombin and factor X. It is a cofactor for heparin and dermatan sulphate. Mutations in this gene are associated with heparin cofactor II deficiency, which can lead to increased thrombin generation and a hypercoagulable state.
The gene SERPIND1 for HC-II is located on chromosome 22 (22q11).
Kallikrein is a serine protease. It exists in an inactive form called prekallikrein, which is converted to kallikrein by factor XIIa. Kallikrein cleaves kininogen releasing brandykinin.
The gene for plasma kallikrein is located on the fourth chromosome (4q34-q35).
High-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) is also called as the Williams-Fitzgerald-Flaujeac factor. It is enzymatically inactive and functions as a cofactor for the activation of kallikrein and factor XII. Kinins such as brandykinin are released from kininogen upon activation of plasma kallikrein.
The gene for HMWK is located on the third chromosome (3q26).

New law to eliminate cash bail, release prisoners
A new state law goes into effect in January that will eliminate cash bail for misdemeanors and non-violent felonies.
New York City has identified nearly 900 people who are currently behind bars awaiting trial that can apply to have their bail lifted and be freed.
They'll also be given incentives to show up for future court dates such as gift cards and Dunkin'.
"If you think about the amount of doughnuts you can buy with the amount it costs to keep one person in Rikers for a day, it is a brilliant incentive," said Alice Fontier, the managing director of the Bronx Defenders.
To avoid an overflow of applications at the beginning of the year, some judges have already begun the process.
The Office of Court Administration says it plans to stagger the release of defendants starting in mid-December.
There are over 400 offenses that fall under this new law, including criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child.

The Last Song
1 bestselling author Nicholas Sparks's new novel is at once a compelling family drama and a heartrending tale of young love.
Seventeen year old Veronica 'Ronnie' Miller's life was turned upside down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.
The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels first love, love between parents and children that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.

Charlotte Cushman Club records
Founded in 1907, the Charlotte Cushman Club was originally intended to provide respectable lodgings for actresses appearing in Philadelphia theaters. In the years of World War II the Club ceased to provide residential services, becoming a favorite gathering place of theater lovers as well as of the many actresses and actors visiting the city with their touring companies. The Charlotte Cushman Club Records offer insight into the activities, the administration, and the membership of the Club during the whole life of the organization, until its closure in 1998. The collection also includes part of the holdings of the former Club’s museum and library.

Rascoe, Burton, 1892-1957
Burton Rascoe (1892-1957) was an American literary critic, journalist, editor, and author working in the first half of the 20th century. His confrontational style stirred up much debate and helped generate interest in up-and-coming writers that Rascoe believed showed promise; most notably, Rascoe was an early champion of writers such as James Branch Cabell, Theodore Dreiser, and H. L. Mencken. The collection consists of his correspondence, including some with famous literary figures; writings by Rascoe in draft and published form; papers relating to a lawsuit with Max Annenberg; diaries and notebooks; photographs; and clippings.

Digital Library of Greek Philosophical and Scientific Books and Manuscripts 1600-1821
Historical Background | Introducing the New Scientific Ideas | Publications | Project Team |
Hellinomnimon is a digital library which consists of all the philosophical and scientific books and manuscripts written in Greek from 1600 to 1821. The totality of the philosophical and scientific corpus written in the Greek language from 1600 to 1821 consists of two large categories. The first category consists of books which have been mainly published in Vienna, Venice, Paris, Constantinople, and Leipzig. These comprise 204 volumes of 53,000 pages in total. The second category contains the manuscripts of published and unpublished works. These consist of over 500,000 pages. Among other places, these manuscripts are to be found in the various National and private libraries in Greece, England, France, Austria, Germany, the Balkan countries and Russia, in the Library of the Patriarchates in Istanbul, Jerusalem and Alexandria, in various libraries of Turkey, as well as in libraries of monasteries in Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Russia. The whole project of cataloguing, photographing and digitizing will also result in a unique collection of hitherto unknown Greek works. So far, only a limited number of Greek scientific and philosophical manuscripts have been digitized.
Hellinomnimon is being realized at the Laboratory for the Electronic Processing of Historical Archives of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science of the University of Athens. The aim of the Laboratory is to support research and teaching by the development and application of modern technologies in photography, cataloguing, archiving and digital image processing for historical archives and digital libraries. Such a collection of documents will be decisive in the study of the issues related to the introduction of the new sciences to the Greek speaking world during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The books in the digital library Hellinomnimon are divided into four main categories.
The first category consists of books in history and geography. During the earlier part of the 18th century the content of these books was related to the events and the topography of ancient Greece; during the later period of the century their contents started to change and were adapted to the needs of the commercial activities of the Greek merchants.
The second category includes mathematical books. Initially, most of them were geometries based on Euclid' s Elements; after the middle of the 18th century many books of algebra and trigonometry were written, while some of them contained extended chapters of analytical geometry and infinitesimal calculus. At the beginning of the 19th century a number of handbooks in practical arithmetic appeared and were extensively used by the merchants in their dealings.
The third category includes the philosophical books which are mainly treatises in Metaphysics and Logic. These books have a special interest for the history of science in the Greek speaking regions of the Ottoman Empire because they reflect the attempts to form the philosophical context in which the new scientific ideas were to be elaborated. In these books one can witness the encounter of the traditional Aristotelian and patristic approaches with the new trends in philosophy emerging out of some of the Western European philosophical accounts.
The fourth category consists of books in physics and natural philosophy. During the earlier period these books presented the new physical ideas within a theologically biased Aristotelian context. In the later period the new ideas started to be discussed in a manner which increasingly reflected the developments of European natural philosophy and aimed at the alignment of Greek philosophy with the scientific attainments of the Enlightenment.
The history of ideas of the Greek speaking regions in the Ottoman Empire from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek Revolution of 1821 is invariably linked with the educational policies articulated by the Orthodox Church and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Immediately after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Sultan Mohammed II recognised the Patriarch the religious leader of Eastern Christendom-- as the legal head of the Orthodox Christian millet (nation) and the Patriarchate was granted full jurisdiction over the education of the Orthodox Christian populations in the Ottoman Empire.
The Sultan appointed as the new Patriarch Gennadios Scholarios (1400-1460). Gennadios Scholarios was a well-known jurist, rhetor and philosopher, and played an important role in political life during the last years of the Byzantine era. As a philosopher, he was of Aristotelian orientation, a follower of Aquinas and an opponent of Pletho's Platonism. Gennadios undertook the task of reviving the intellectual life of the city. He founded the first official school, the Patriarchal Academy, which was the continuation of the Pandidakterion of the Byzantine era, and appointed Matthaios Kamariotis as its first director. There is no reliable data concerning the initial curriculum of the Academy.
By the end of the 16th century and within the context of counter-reformation after the Council of Trent (1545-1563), Rome defined a new policy towards the Orthodox Christian population of the Ottoman Empire, designed to prevent any rapprochement between them and the Protestants. During the early years of the seventeenth century the Patriarchates, of both Constantinople and Jerusalem, became fields of contention between the Catholics and the Protestants while the latter were trying to increase their influence in the eastern Mediterranean. Not unexpectedly, the Protestants offered support to the Patriarchates of Constantinople and Jerusalem. Their shared hostility to Catholicism brought the Protestants and the Greek Orthodox close to each other. In 1620 Kyrillos Loukaris (1572-1638) became Patriarch of Constantinople. He had studied at the Greek school of Venice, under Maximos Margunios, from 1584 until 1588 and he had completed his studies at the University of Padua in 1593. During the early stages of the 30-year war, Loukaris planned a series of political moves to consolidate the survival of the Orthodox Church. He felt that there were unmistakable signs of an impending alliance between Catholic France and the Ottomans. He saw such an alliance as the main danger against the Orthodox Church, and he sought supporters among the Protestants, especially the Dutch. Loukaris, also, proceeded to write an infamous leaflet arguing for the common theological grounds between Calvinism and Orthodoxy. Many serious theologians - and not only his adversaries - accused him of adopting Protestantism.
Being convinced that the Catholic propaganda was effective because of its emphasis on education, Loukaris upgraded the Patriarchal Academy and introduced what came to be known as religious humanism . Religious humanism was an attempt to synthesise the teachings of ancient Greeks with the teachings of the orthodox church fathers, considering the intellectual traditions originating in Greek antiquity and those of Christianity as a unity. Religious humanism became the means for moulding a kind of national consciousness by reclaiming Hellenistic roots through Greek Orthodox Christian teaching. In the prevailing conditions of intense national reorientations and regroupings in Europe, such a strategy aimed at upgrading the political role of the Patriarchate by providing an institutional expression to the ties between orthodoxy and Hellenism. Such initiatives led not only to the establishment of new educational institutions, but, eventually, to the furthering of the church s dominance through the articulation of a new ideological and political agenda.
In 1622 Kyrillos Loukaris appointed a renowned neo-Aristotelian, Theophilos Korydaleus (1570-1646), to the directorship of the Patriarchal Academy. Korydaleus had studied in Italy during the first decade of the seventeenth century. In 1604 he at-tended classes at the Greek College in Rome. He went on to study at the University of Padua, at a time when Cesare Cremonini was the dominant figure and the articulate de-fender of Aristotelianism, especially against the new science of his colleague there, Galileo Galilei. Korydaleas received his doctorate in Philosophy and Medicine, around 1608. In the Patriarchal Academy Korydaleas reorganised teaching along the ways practised in Padua. A central place was assigned to philosophy - as distinct from theology - and to the interpretation of the commentaries on the main works of Aristotle. Korydaleas' humanistic brand of philosophy contained the potential for a rupture with a strictly theological approach to nature and to human affairs. But at the same time, there was a conscious policy to contain and develop this new approach exclusively within the framework of neo-Aristotelianism, during a period when such a framework was being undermined and redefined elsewhere in Europe.
Introducing the New Scientific Ideas
At the outset of the 18th century representatives of the Phanariots the name given to the Greeks living in Constantinople were appointed by the Sublime Porte as governors and hospodars in Wallachia and Moldavia. The Phanariots would soon take the lead among all the other Greeks dispersed in the Balkans; their political dominance would reinforce the already strong influence of the Greeks in the economic as well as cultural spheres in these regions, while at the same time as administrators and as diplomats they would take the line commonly referred to as enlightened despotism.
Politically and socially, the first three quarters of the 18th century was characterised by three interdependent developments. First, the increasing involvement of this group of Greeks in the administrative affairs of the Ottoman Empire undermined the almost exclusive role of the clergy in mediating the relations of the Christians with the Court. The second characteristic of this period was the increasing receptivity for the new ideas coming from Europe by the Phanariots, whose relative autonomy from the Patriarchate was further strengthened by an agenda of Europeanization . The third characteristic was related to the rise of a new social group. In addition to the Phanariots, a new class of merchants started to assert themselves socially and played a rather significant role in the intellectual orientations of the period. The symbiotic relationship between the merchants and the quasi-administrative group of Phanariots was not always without conflict. Often, for example, they were at odds concerning the exertion of influence on the Patriarchate. The social and economic prominence of these groups slowly led to the weakening of the absolute control the Church had on the schools and in determining their curricula.
At the same time, Greek scholars started moving all over Europe. Italy ceased to be the almost exclusive place for their studies. Greek scholars started travelling to the Ger-manic countries, Holland, and, Paris. They were, thus, intellectually influenced by a multitude of traditions and schools and that was true for their training in the natural sciences as well. Interestingly, it was during that period that we witness a strong tendency of the scholars to return back after the completion of their studies abroad.
From the middle of the 18th century, the economic well being of the Greek communities within the Ottoman Empire with the accompanying social transformations brought about a number of changes in the educational system. The reception and appropriation of the new scientific ideas was being realized within an environment of social unrest and ideological confrontations. One cannot talk about educational reform, since the attempts were local initiatives rather than a centrally dictated policy to be applied to a homogeneous educational system. While in the seventeenth and at the beginning of the eighteenth centuries all schools were religiously oriented, the coming years saw the emergence of schools whose curriculum could cater for the social and political agendas of the merchants or the Greeks involved in the administration of the Ottoman state. The systematic introduction of the sciences was reinforced by renewed faith in man's ability to ac-quire knowledge of the world with his own means, and all these found support in the expectations of the assertive merchants and in the political ambitions of the Greek officers of the Danube region.
But the French Revolution did not sit well with the Phanariots' political agenda. Many of them considered the Revolution and its consequences as endangering their prospects of increasing influence within the Ottoman Empire. As the French Revolution was more and more projected as the realisation of the political and social ideas of the Enlightenment, the Phanariots' belief in and attachment to the ideas of the Enlightenment started to weaken. Also, as the anticlericalist positions of the Revolution were associated with the spirit of the Enlightenment, many scholars who, on the whole, were men of the Church became less and less willing to be identified with the ideas of Enlightenment. There was, of course, no radical change which was adopted by all concerned: quite a few scholars, especially teachers, continued to remain strong adherents of the new scientific ideas. But, at the same time, there was a change of heart among many scholars in their strong backing of the ideas of the Enlightenment something which allowed a greater leverage to those in the Church who were strong opponents of these ideas from the very beginning.
Ideological and political contingencies of Christian societies under Ottoman rule during the Enlightenment, together with the dominance of the Greek scholars in the Balkans, called for an emphasis not on the break with the ancient modes of thought, but rather, on establishing the continuity with ancient Greece. The Greek scholars saw the new developments in the sciences in Europe as evidence of the triumph of the programmatic declarations of ancient Greek thought with its emphasis on the supremacy of mathematics and rationality, rather than a break with the ancient mode of thinking and the legitimization of a new way of dealing with nature. The developments in the sciences were not viewed as an intricate process which among other things involved a break with Aristotle, but rather, as developments which came to verify the truth of the pronouncements of the ancients.
The introduction of the new scientific ideas in the Greek speaking world was a process almost exclusively directed to their appropriation for educational purposes. The apparent aim was to modernise the school curricula, but this did not mean a neutral attitude as to the possible ideological uses of these new ideas especially the need to establish contact with the heritage of ancient Greece. Thus the predominantly productive role of the scholars in the thriving communities of natural philosophers in Europe has to be contrasted with the predominantly educational role of the scholars in the Greek speaking regions. The educational agenda of the scholars played a rather decisive role since the discussion and the dissemination of the sciences was being exclusively realised within the educational institutions and many a times in reference to issues pertaining to education.
The jurisdiction of the Church over educational matters, its initiatives for sending scholars to Europe to be educated and the kind of dynamics created as the intended and, most interestingly, the unintended result of their scholarly work whether by writing books or teaching all need to be assessed within the overall particularities of the Greek case. The content, though, of what was taught was not solely determined by the Church. It was, rather, the confluence of largely similar but at times conflicting aims of the religious hierarchy, of the social groups with significant economic activity and of the scholars themselves. There appeared many different trends, each claiming ideological or political leadership of this process aimed at preserving religious identity and inspiring national consciousness. These trends were at times in conflict with each other and at times they were complementary. Scholars following the scholastic Aristotelian tradition co-existed with neo-Aristotelians. Scholars adopting the ideas of the Enlightenment came into conflict with those who viewed these ideas as undermining the conditions for religious and ideological survival. The introduction of the sciences and their subsequent teaching necessarily reflected a confluence of all these trends. The developments of the new sciences in western Europe became an interesting but expected corroboration of the programmatic declarations of Aristotle.

The best of last weeks editorials
What Torture Never Told Us
PUublic bravado aside, the defenders of the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques are fast running out of classified documents to hide behind. The three that were released recently by the C.I.A. � the 2004 report by the inspector general and two memos from 2004 and 2005 on intelligence gained from detainees � fail to show that the techniques stopped even a single imminent threat of terrorism.
Can the U.S. Lead Afghans?
The Afghanistan debate is increasingly focused on two words: troop numbers. Those numbers certainly deserve serious attention as President Obama decides whether to raise them even further this year. But in Afghanistan, as in past counterinsurgencies, it is important to remember that all troop numbers are not created equal. When it comes to indigenous forces, quality often matters more than quantity, and quality often declines when quantity increases.
In Afghanistan, political success remains as elusive as military triumph
In June, amid widespread claims of vote-rigging and ballot-stuffing, the leaders of western nations were united and outspoken in their condemnation of the Iranian presidential election results. Referring to Tehran's ruling regime, Gordon Brown said that questions "have got to be answered".
In Afghanistan, Let's Keep It Simple
For much of the 20th century before the Soviet invasion in 1979, Afghanistan was a peaceful country living in harmony with its neighbors. There was a king and a real government, which I witnessed in the 1970s when I frequently traveled there. Afghanistan had what I'll call a minimalist state, compared with the vast governmental apparatuses that colonialists left behind in British India and Soviet Central Asia.
Barack Obama As Charlie Wilson?
Twice in 25 years, Afghanistan has been cast in American politics as the "good" war, worthy of American support, and contrasted with a "bad" war that allegedly was not. The first time, this worked out reasonably well for America and its Afghan allies. It is unclear whether that will be true this time around.
One Way Or Another, Leaving Iraq
Since U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq's cities, two months have passed, and so has the illusion that Iraq is smoothly transitioning to a normality free of sectarian violence. Recently, Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of U.S. troops there, "blanched" when asked if the war is "functionally over."
Setback in Afghanistan
LAST MONTH we expected that Afghanistan's elections would mark a modest step forward for the country. Now it appears that they could be a major reverse. Though the election campaign was positive in many respects, Election Day itself is emerging as a disaster of relatively low turnout and massive irregularities.
Think Again: Realism
Amid war and recession, Americans are in a no-nonsense, matter-of-fact mood. But that, says a leading architect of George W. Bush's foreign policy, is no reason to adopt a misguided doctrine.
Gordon Brown and Afghanistan: The futility of being earnest
Last year the Rand National Research Institute produced a revealing fact. A study of the 90 insurgencies that had taken place since 1945 found that it takes an average of 14 years to defeat insurgents once they are up and running. Gordon Brown has not got that long in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan: Hollow power in Helmand
We are manning a series of Potemkin settlements in Afghanistan. The territory that US and British troops are holding shows no signs of being filled by a state which Afghans can trust. The forts that dominate south Helmand are proving to be every bit as hollow � for the purpose of state-building � as the theatrical sets that Field Marshal Grigori Potyomkin had built along the route Catherine the Great took, to persuade her that Crimea was being civilised by Russian rule.
A question of trust at the heart of the Ministry of Defence
Labour prime ministers are not always wrong about military matters, nor Chiefs of the General Staff always right. In 1948, Clement Attlee rejected Field Marshal Montgomery's nomination of General Sir John Crocker to succeed him as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, bringing out of retirement instead the incomparable Bill Slim. "Slim makes do with the scrapings of the barrel," said Attlee, who as an infantry officer had been one of the last out of Gallipoli in 1916.
How to Win in Afghanistan
Given declining poll numbers and rising casualty figures, it is no surprise that the chattering classes are starting to bail out on a war in Afghanistan that was launched with their enthusiastic support. From Sen. Russ Feingold on the left to columnist George Will on the right, these born-again doves seem to be chastened by the fact that the Taliban won't simply stop fighting. Rather than rise to the challenge, they propose that we stick to what Mr. Will says "can be done from offshore, using intelligence, drones, cruise missiles, airstrikes and small, potent Special Forces units, concentrating on the porous 1,500-mile border with Pakistan, a nation that actually matters."

What Makes a Teacher of the Year Run for Political Office?
By Madeline Will on July 7, 2017 10:33 AM
Teachers across the state of Arizona have confided in Christine Porter Marsh, the state's 2016 teacher of the year, about how frustrated they are—how they have to work a second or third job to survive on their teacher salary; how they have unmanageably large class sizes; how they often have to make the "gut-wrenching decision" to leave teaching because of the state's education policies.
So, Marsh, a high school teacher with 25 years of experience, decided to run for political office.
"I figured I was going to lose sleep if I ran or didn't run, and I figured I'd rather lose sleep running and trying to make a few positive changes, than not run and be in a position of powerlessness," Marsh said in an interview with Education Week Teacher.
She announced in late May that she will run as a Democrat for a state Senate seat, challenging the Republican incumbent during the 2018 elections.
"Being teacher of the year gave me an even broader perspective of what's going on in Arizona," she said. "I knew it was bad ... but I didn't know that it was as bad as it actually is until I was teacher of the year."
Marsh joins a small club of state teachers of the year who have had political ambitions. She says she was inspired by Shawn Sheehan, who was Oklahoma's teacher of the year in 2016. Sheehan ran as an independent for a state Senate seat in 2016, along with more than 40 teachers who also ran for state office. About five of those teachers won their races; Sheehan did not.
The National Network of State Teachers of the Year has tracked two other state teachers of the year who have recently run for office: Bob Williams, the 2009 Alaska teacher of the year; and Jeffrey Hinton, who received the honor for Nevada in 2014.
Williams was the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Alaska in the 2014 elections, and Hinton was the Democratic candidate for the state Assembly, also in 2014. Neither won their races.
'Education Is Political'
It's not uncommon for teachers to run for political office. There are several former teachers in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, and news reports consistently highlight other teachers with state or local political ambitions. But teachers of the year are in a unique position: They have a firsthand look at the challenges facing public education in their state from both their classroom and as a statewide teacher-leader. They have a ready-made opportunity to visit schools across the state, speak at summits and conferences, and talk to policymakers and other stakeholders. And they've been recognized for the quality of their teaching, so they have stronger credentials when speaking on education matters.
"It's a year of recognition, you get in the spotlight," Williams said. "It also stresses the responsibility of speaking up and representing the profession, and representing the profession well."
Sheehan said that during his tenure as Oklahoma's Teacher of the Year, he traveled the state and had over 100 speaking engagements. It opened his eyes to the political nature of teaching.
"I felt pulled into the politics of education more and more. ... Education really is political," he said. "I had no idea this was the case. I had no idea that wanting to educate the masses is a political act."
During a workshop where state teachers of the year learned how to talk to elected representatives, Nevada's Hinton thought: "Hey, why should teachers be explaining to policymakers how important education is? Why aren't there more teachers involved in the political process? Maybe this is how I make my mark as the state teacher of the year. Maybe this is how I use this gift."
"Becoming a state teacher of the year broadens one's perspective and possibilities," Hinton continued. "You have this chance to become an influencer. What are you going to do with it?"
Teachers on the Campaign Trail
For Marsh, one of her priorities in her education platform is reducing class sizes, which she has been outspoken about for years. In a recent blog post, she asserted: "Smaller class sizes is the single most important factor in determining the fate of students. I can impact 25 students far more successfully than I can impact 40 students."
Arizona has a student-teacher ratio of 23:1, compared to the U.S. ratio of 16:1. Last year, the Learning Policy Institute gave Arizona the lowest teaching attractiveness rating, citing the state's large class sizes and low teacher pay.
Still, Marsh said that part of starting her campaign so early was so that she could see which of her ideas resonate with voters. "I would be a representative of the people, so their views would matter as well," she said.
Balancing an insider's view of education policy with a broad appeal to voters can be tricky, Hinton said.
"One of the discouraging aspects about getting out there and trying to make connections with my constitutents and neighbors was how little it seemed people cared about education," he said. Voters wanted to hear about taxes, job creation, and other "kitchen table issues."
"But my passion is education. That's what I wanted to talk about," Hinton said.
And even when voters did care about education, they were often seeking a simple answer to complex questions like, "How are you going to make schools better?," instead of a nuanced conversation, Hinton said.
Also, both campaigning and teaching are time-consuming, making it a grueling job to run as an active classroom teacher. Hinton said that during the campaign, he felt like he couldn't be the best teacher or father.
"I was literally canvassing 20 hours a week. I got home from school, put on my walking shoes, got out and started knocking on doors. It's 113 degrees—I'd get home and just be exhausted," he said.
"The next 16 months are no doubt going to be hard," Marsh said, adding that her friends and family are "accepting of the fact that there's not going to be much besides campaigning and teaching."
Ultimately, she said, "My students can't suffer. That means other people are going to have to be picking up campaign slack."
A Special Skillset
"One of my biggest goals is to make sure that I finish this campaign being able to look my students in the eyes," Marsh said, adding that she cannot run a negative campaign. The experience, she said, will hopefully have a positive impact on her life and in her classroom.
Hinton said the campaign experience made him grow as a person and a teacher. Knocking on doors and asking people for money forced him out of his comfort zone and improved his public speaking skills.
He, like Sheehan (who has since moved to Texas for a better-paying job), would not rule out another political run in the future.
After all, much of what teachers do in the classroom—working hard, having clear communication, building a welcoming and safe community—would translate well to public office, they say.
"The skills that make effective educators in the classroom translate very well to other leadership roles," said Williams, who is now the director of educator and school excellence at Alaska's department of education. "I think sometimes teachers sell themselves short; they say, 'I'm just a teacher.' Teachers deal with conflict. Teachers deal with building trust all the time."
