Reindeer in Sweden usually migrate in November. But there's still no snow.

It may be December but almost 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle there’s still not enough snow for reindeer to begin their annual migration.
Sweden’s indigenous Sami people have herded the animals for generations, with the corral usually happening over a two-week period in November.
But this year the tradition has been postponed because temperatures keep fluctuating above and below the freezing mark.
“Something is really wrong with nature,” said Niila Inga, 37, who lives in Sweden’s northernmost town of Kiruna. “I can't ask my father what to do now because he hasn’t seen this; it hasn’t happened during his lifetime.”
The past four years have been the warmest on record globally, according to the World Meteorological Organisation.
Reindeer husbandry is carried out in countries throughout the Arctic including Norway, Russia and China. A 2009 report on the future of the practice says that there are 3,000 reindeer herders in Sweden alone, and a total of nearly 100,000 globally.
It's a family business. Inga said he took the lead from his father when he turned 18 and works alongside 17 other full-time herders in the community that includes his cousins and nephew.
Every September, reindeer are gathered and killed for meat. It’s the main source of income for the herders.

After the slaughter, the remaining reindeer are left to graze in the wild until it’s time for the winter migration eastward to better grazing territory. For Inga, that's a trek of more than 62 miles.
Herders follow the animals on snowmobile, spending nights in cabins along the route. Children get the time off school to take part in the process.
“Everything is connected to the reindeer and the reindeer herding,” Inga said. “It’s something you’re born and raised in.”
But Inga, who is also the chairman of the Swedish Sami Association, believes "something is shifting."
NewsExtreme heat wave shrinks Sweden's tallest peak by 13 feet in a month
The snow is vital to every aspect of reindeer husbandry so this winter's erratic freeze-thaw cycle is a problem.
Research suggests the effects of global warming are amplified at the poles, with average air temperatures rising faster than elsewhere on the planet. This results in the rapid loss of ice, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. This year's winter freeze is being forecast to come late for the Scandanavian region and ice formation will be below-average.
The herders need the snow for their own travels through the wild terrain. Snow also makes it easier for the Sami to track reindeer and predators.
Most importantly, the snow impacts vegetation. A delayed winter could be viewed as a good thing, allowing the reindeer more time to graze by the mountains, Inga said. But it could also lead to the reindeer trampling the plants and prompt overgrazing.
Research is backing up the changes the Sami are witnessing. Gunhild Rosqvist, a geography professor at Stockholm University, is part of a team studying the changing Arctic landscape, including the accelerating loss of glacier ice in the Scandinavian mountains.
NewsDrought brings big worries for farmers across northern Europe
Rosqvist is currently working with the herders to study how weather variability is impacting the animals.
It's becoming clear the animals are migrating into new areas — despite roads and other development blocking their path — which in turn is forcing herders to change their practices, she said.
The expansion of mining, wind-energy farms and tourism across northern Sweden is cutting back on the available land.
The entire town of Kiruna is being forced to move because of the neighboring iron ore mine.
“The combined pressure of all this and climate change is really pushing some of these communities over the tipping point,” Rosqvist said.

Reindeer migration is just one of the many symptoms of the warming climate.
This summer saw Sweden’s highest peak lose that status due to glacial melt while wildfires spanned an unprecedented 61,775 acres across the country amid record hot and dry conditions.
A huge section of a glacier near Rosqvist's northern research station unexpectedly broke loose in an ice avalanche, she said, shocking scientists.
“It’s an emergency,” Rosqvist added. “The whole ecosystem is so delicate.”
Despite the rapid changes to the landscape, the Sami are trying to adapt. Inga said herders are discussing what to do if the land fails to provide enough food for the reindeer.
“We don’t want to feed them because it isn’t natural and it’s part of our culture,” Inga said. The reindeer are semi-domesticated and bringing in food could change their behavior dramatically, he said. It could also affect the quality of the meat.
NewsSix ways climate change is hitting the U.S.
Sanna Vannar, president of the Sami youth association Sáminuorra, said members hope that they’ll be able to continue the traditions of their forefathers.
The association joined 10 families across Europe and Africa to lodge a lawsuit against the European Union in May for failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change.
The lawsuit specifically cites the challenges reindeer are having in finding food due to the warming climate and the repercussions it, in turn, has on Sami culture and livelihoods.
"It's really bad for young reindeer herders because they every day have to think about the weather," Vannar said. "I can't see my life without reindeer."

First Read's Morning Clips: Fire and Fury
An unarmed Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile launches during an operational test just after midnight, Wednesday, May 3, 2017, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.William Collette / AP file
Aug. 9, 2017, 12:26 PM UTC / Updated Aug. 9, 2017, 12:26 PM UTC
TRUMP AGENDA: A war of words — so far
The latest on tensions with North Korea: “North Korea says it is "seriously reviewing" a plan to strike the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam with missiles — just hours after President Donald Trump told the regime that any threat to the United States would be met with "fire and fury." A spokesman for the Korean People's Army, in a statement carried by the regime's state-run KCNA news agency on Wednesday (local time), said it was going over "military options to form attack positions" around the U.S. territory in order to "send a stern warning" to the United States. In another statement citing a different military spokesman, North Korea also said it could carry out a pre-emptive operation if the United States showed signs of provocation, according to Reuters.”
Ali Vitali sums up Trump’s threats of “fire and fury” from yesterday.
Here’s what Rex Tillerson told reporters en route to Guam this morning. “I think what the President was doing was sending a strong message to North Korea in language that Kim Jung Un would understand because he doesn’t seem to understand diplomatic language. I think the President just wanted to be clear to the North Korean regime that the US has an unquestionable ability to defend itself, will defend itself and its allies and I think it was important that he deliver that message to avoid any miscalculation on their part.” More: “I think what the President was just reaffirming is that the United States has the capability to fully defend itself from any attack and defend our allies and we will do so, so the American people should sleep well at night.”
David Ignatius, in the Washington Post: “If Washington and Beijing manage to stay together in dealing with Pyongyang, the door opens on a new era in which China will play a larger and more responsible role in global affairs, commensurate with its economic power. If the great powers can’t cooperate, the door will slam shut — possibly triggering a catastrophic military conflict on the Korean Peninsula.”
The tensions over North Korea are pressuring global markets, the Wall Street Journal writes.
Why is North Korea threatening Guam? The Atlantic explains.
In USA Today yesterday afternoon: “President Trump has publicly called the widening federal investigation into Russia's election meddling a "witch hunt." But through his lawyer, Trump has sent private messages of "appreciation" to special counsel Robert Mueller. "He appreciates what Bob Mueller is doing,'' Trump's chief counsel John Dowd told USA TODAY in an interview Tuesday. "He asked me to share that with him and that's what I've done.'' … “The president has sent messages back and forth,’’ Dowd said, declining to elaborate further.”
The New York Times sums up the exhaustion in Washington, even during the August break.
Mitch McConnell says Trump has had “excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process.”
POLITICO: “EPA chief Scott Pruitt’s attacks on mainstream climate science are causing discomfort in a surprising corner — among many of the conservative and industry groups that have cheered his efforts to dismantle Barack Obama’s environmental regulations. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, political groups backed by the Koch brothers and the top lobbying organizations for the coal, oil, natural gas and power industries are among those so far declining to back Pruitt’s efforts to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, according to more than a dozen interviews by POLITICO. Some advocates privately worry that the debate would politically harm moderate Republicans, while wasting time and effort that’s better spent on the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory rollback.”
The New York Times notes that Israelis are starting to contemplate life after Netanyahu: “[W]ith one of Mr. Netanyahu’s closest former aides having turned state’s witness in two cases involving suspicions of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, Israelis across the political spectrum are trying on the idea of the curtain coming down on Mr. Netanyahu’s durable political career.”
OFF TO THE RACES: Trump endorses Strange in Alabama
The AP, on how Republicans could face trouble from insurgent primary candidates.
AL-SEN: Donald Trump endorsed Luther Strange via Twitter last night: “Senator Luther Strange has done a great job representing the people of the Great State of Alabama. He has my complete and total endorsement!”
Mo Brooks is responding this morning, accusing Mitch McConnell of “misleading” the president. "I respect President Trump, but I am baffled and disappointed Mitch McConnell and the Swamp somehow misled the President into endorsing Luther Strange.”
Another new poll shows Roy Moore in a strong position to make the runoff election next week, with Strange and Brooks battling for the other slot.
Turnout in next week’s election is expected to be low.
KS-GOV: The AP: “Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer confirmed Tuesday that he will seek a full, four-year term as Kansas governor next year after he assumes the office upon Gov. Sam Brownback's departure for an ambassador's post.”
IN-SEN: Rep. Todd Rokita is officially in. The AP sums up the contentious primary: “Republican Todd Rokita is taking aim at "lobbyists, bureaucrats, politicians and the media" as he prepares to launch his campaign for Senate in Indiana, a race that has already sparked an intraparty feud with congressional colleague Luke Messer. Rokita's campaign provided the Associated Press with a copy of a digital ad that contains the remarks ahead of the congressman's planned kickoff announcement Wednesday morning at the Statehouse. The ad urges voters in the state that overwhelmingly backed President Donald Trump to "take the next step" and "defeat the elite." Mike Braun, a wealthy Republican state representative, announced Tuesday that he would face off against the two congressmen in the GOP primary. The winner will try to unseat Sen. Joe Donnelly, who is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in 2018.
MT-AL: Greg Gianforte has his first Democratic challenger.
NV-SEN: Here’s the Nevada Independent with the full picture on Heller’s primary challenge from Danny Tarkanian.
NY-GOV: Andrew Cuomo could face a significant primary hurdle next year, with multiple Democrats — including possibly actress Cynthia Nixon — in the mix.
TX-GOV: Democrats have a problem in the Lone Star State: They don’t have anyone to run for governor.
VA-GOV: A VCU poll shows Northam leading Gillespie 42 percent to 37 percent.

Flavor Flav Avoids Jail with Huge Back Child Support Payment
The Public Enemy hype man must have realized the suckers had authority
By Sam Schulz • Published at 11:40 am on June 20, 2012
Flavor Flav won't be a public enemy serving time after all.
The resident hype man for rap legends Public Enemy is back on the law's good side now that he has paid back some of the $111,186 he owed in child support, the New York Daily News reported.
On Tuesday, the rapper — recognizable by his uniform of sunglasses and a clock around his neck — shelled out $25,000 in back child support to the mother of his three kids.
He also promised to pay an additional $1,200 a month to cut back on the rest of what he owes.
If Flavor Flav hadn't paid up, he could have faced 180 days in jail for what was called a "willful violation" of the support agreement that required he pay $837.72 a week for his three children.
Looks like he realized, as Public Enemy leader Chuck D rapped, the suckers had authority.

We don't know what a fifth of our genes do – and won’t find out soon
Humans 20 February 2019
By Michael Le Page
There are still mysteries to unravel
KTSDESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
We still have no idea what 20 per cent of protein-coding genes are for. What’s more, we have stopped making progress, according to a study looking at what we know about yeast and human proteins.
“Basically we really don’t have a clue,” says team leader Valerie Wood at the University of Cambridge.
Her team started by defining what is known or unknown. For instance, we might be able to tell that a protein is an enzyme from its sequence, but if we don’t know what reaction it catalyses, its function cannot be said to be known. Wood compares it to taking a car to pieces – recognising that one piece is, say, a wire isn’t much help in understanding what it is for.
When the team applied these criteria to yeast proteins, they found that the function of most of them was discovered in the 1990s. Progress slowed in the 2000s and plateaued in the 2010s with the function of a fifth still unknown.
Next the team showed that the same proportion of human protein-coding genes remain a mystery. “There are 3000 human proteins whose function is unknown,” says Wood.
The team didn’t look at the rate of progress for human proteins, but Wood thinks the situation is similar. There are two reasons why progress is grinding to a halt, she says.
First, a common way to find out what protein-coding genes do is to mutate them in animals such as mice and zebrafish to see what happens. The mystery proteins don’t show up in these screens, perhaps because they are involved in processes, such as ageing, that have subtle effects.
Second, funders are turning down applications to study these unknown proteins because of the risk of people spending years working on them without any results.

That might be a mistake. Another thing Wood’s team showed was that a quarter of the mystery proteins in yeast are also found in humans. That means these proteins have been conserved over the billion or so years since our ancestors split from those of yeast.
“They must be doing something pretty important,” says Wood. “I’m absolutely certain there are big discoveries to be made.”

Outcomes, Not Programs, Will Define DOD’s Cybersecurity Record
Alonzo Clark/National guard
By Katherine Gronberg,
Vice President of Government Affairs, Forescout
By Katherine Gronberg
The Defense Department is changing how it defines and defends its networks.
In 2019, the Defense Department embarked on two new cybersecurity programs: Automated Continuous Endpoint Monitoring, or ACEM, and Comply-to-Connect, or C2C. These programs are changing the way the Defense defines and defends its networks. The outcome will be a vastly improved enterprise security posture as well as advanced automation that will let Defense redirect limited resources toward higher-order cybersecurity missions.
ACEM and C2C share the common goal of ensuring that the department knows what is connecting to and what is happening on its networks (in agency-speak, “domain awareness”). ACEM is intended to help solve the problem of detecting and profiling Windows-based devices, or endpoints, and account for the software on them. C2C will solve the problem of detecting, profiling and securing non-traditional categories of devices such as internet of things or networked operational technology, including, for example, industrial controllers. Firmly grounded in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework and the Center for Internet Security top 20 critical controls, these two programs will give Defense the capability to monitor every single connecting device for its compliance with the department’s security policies and automatically enforce these policies to mitigate risk.
Detecting devices on networks has proven to be exceedingly difficult for all federal departments and agencies. Utilizing a program similar to C2C, called Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, federal civilian agencies discovered, on average, 75% more devices on their networks than they previously knew about. Defense faces the same problem. A connected device that is unknown—an unmanaged device—is one that cannot receive patches and updates and therefore introduces major cyber risk to the enterprise. Unmanaged devices present an easy path for adversaries to access and exploit higher-value parts of the network, or to degrade, deny, disrupt or even destroy critical network components.
Between 2016 and 2018, several events occurred that underscored Defense’s lack of cyber domain awareness. In February 2016, in what has become known as the “Eight Star Memo” the Commanders of U.S. Northern and Pacific Commands sent a letter to then-Secretary of Defense Ash Carter asking for more focus on “cybersecurity of DOD critical infrastructure Industrial Control Systems.” Following this, the Homeland Security Department issued a directive to all federal agencies to remove products manufactured by Kaspersky Lab.
In 2018 a scathing Government Accountability Office report highlighted the present reality that cyberattacks could “target any weapon subsystem that is dependent on software.” Also that year, in a discussion of the Defense’s first-ever completed audit, then- Comptroller David Norquist stated: “Our single largest number of findings is IT security around our business systems;” only five of the 21 audits conducted received a “passing” result.
Yet in the background of these alarm bells, however, several important things began. Congress, dissatisfied with the department’s inability to account for the hardware and software on its networks, directed leaders to develop an automated means to determine the security and license status of deployed software, resulting directly in the two programs described here. U.S. Cyber Command then outlined six categories of endpoints to help identify and account for previously overlooked parts of the domain.
The Navy and Marine Corps, which had been testing the C2C concept for some time, stepped forward and agreed to serve as “Pathfinders” for Defense’s planned enterprise C2C program. The anticipated outcomes for these services’ C2C deployments include: comprehensive network-based visibility, discovery and classification of devices; redundant manageability and control of devices; orchestration with mandated security and network management solution; and continuous monitoring and automated remediation. These outcomes are game-changing because they have been neither achieved nor achievable at scale in the past. The Pathfinders will inform the enterprise deployment of C2C across Defense information networks.
Knowing what is on your networks and what is happening on your networks are truly the basics of cybersecurity. In this sense, ACEM and C2C are simple and unremarkable. Yet these programs implement cyber basics in a manner not seen before: comprehensively and continuously. They build upon existing cyber capabilities but pave the way toward future desired end-states: above all, awareness of the true cyber domain and the automation of routine cyber tasks. These outcomes, not a program of record or catchy acronym, will be the legacy of the Defense’s current cyber leaders.
Katherine Gronberg is vice president for government affairs at Forescout.

Evidence-Based Management of Sickle Cell Disease: Expert Panel Report, 2014
Published Sep 2014
DownloadPDF 3 MB
These guidelines were developed by an expert panel composed of health care professionals with expertise in family medicine, general internal medicine, adult and pediatric hematology, psychiatry, transfusion medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency department nursing, and evidence-based medicine. Panel members were selected by the NHLBI’s leadership.
The purpose of these guidelines is to help people living with sickle cell disease (SCD) receive appropriate care by providing the best science-based recommendations to guide practice decisions. The target audience is primary care providers and other clinicians, nurses, and staff who provide emergency or continuity care to individuals with SCD.
NHLBI sponsored the development of these guidelines to assist health care professionals in the management of common issues, including routine health maintenance, the recognition and treatment of common acute and chronic complications and comorbidities of SCD, as well as the indications for and monitoring of hydroxyurea and blood transfusion therapy. The guidelines address the care of infants, children, adolescents, and adults with SCD, with the goal of facilitating high-quality and appropriate care for all individuals with this disease.

Haralson, Herndon
by Ronald Harrelson, 1988
12 Oct. 1757–27 May 1847
Herndon Haralson, soldier, politician, and planter, was born in what is now Person County, one of thirteen children of Paul and Nancy Lea Haralson. His grandfather had immigrated from Holland to Virginia in 1715. In 1750, Paul Haralson left Virginia and settled on Hyco Creek, a small branch of the Dan River running through present Person County. Young Haralson's formal education was limited. At age nineteen, when the land office of North Carolina was opened, he was appointed deputy surveyor for the newly formed Caswell County. He continued in this position until 1780, when he was appointed deputy clerk of court under Archibald DeBow Murphey, Sr. Murphey soon joined the Revolution and left the office to Haralson. When Cornwallis and his army passed near the county office, the young clerk stored the records in a safe place and then applied for and received a commission to raise a volunteer company of militia. In a few days he assembled a company, equipped it, and joined General Nathanael Greene in Hillsborough.
On 21 Feb. 1781, Captain Haralson attacked a surprised band of Tories under the command of Dr. John Pyle. The battle was a great success: the Tories were "cut to pieces," and 180 of their number were killed. On 2 March, Haralson and his men fought in the Battle of Wetzell's Mill, on the Reedy Fork of the Haw River, followed by a skirmish at Alamance Creek. On 15 March, they saw action in the Battle of Guilford Court House. Haralson then marched with General Greene to Eutaw Springs. In this bloody battle, Haralson was promoted to major and given a command of mounted infantry called the "Marshall Corps." After this engagement, he took 500 prisoners to Salisbury, where he was discharged from the army. He returned to Caswell County, a hero.
Haralson again took charge of the clerk's office in Caswell County until 1784, when he accepted an offer to work as a clerk for the Robert Donald Company, importing merchants in Petersburg, Va. He continued in this position for three years before returning to his former post in Caswell County.
On 4 Oct. 1791 Haralson married Mary Murphey (1771–1847), the daughter of Archibald DeBow Murphey, Sr. They had eight sons and three daughters: Archibald, Jonathan, Herndon, Jr., Paul Anderson, Green Lea, Betsy, William Henry, James Madison, Mary, Jane, and John Haywood.
In 1792, the county of Caswell was divided and Haralson took charge of the newly created Person County clerk's office. In 1793, he was elected to the House of Commons. He served four terms in the Assembly up to 1800, after which he declined to run for reelection. That year he was appointed judge of the Superior Court; he also reclaimed his former post of Clerk of Court. Haralson remained in these positions until 1816, when he resigned and moved to Danville, Va. In 1818, he moved to Haywood, N.C., and in 1820, to Tennessee, settling in the wilderness on Forked Deer River. In 1822, as the western district of that state was being organized, he moved to Madison County and from there to Haywood County, Tenn. In 1826 he was made an agent for the Bank of the State of Tennessee. From 1831 until his death, he lived the life of a planter. By that time his possessions and landholdings were fairly extensive. An active Methodist, he was buried in Brownsville, Tenn.

Humor has played a distinctive role in the lives of North Carolinians from the days of the earliest British explorations to the region. As much as any other aspect of human life, humor can be considered a window into cultures and peoples that have long since disappeared. U.S. senator Sam J. Ervin Jr., an insightful student of North Carolina humor, summarized the state's affinity for the lighter side of life in a speech to members of the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association: "North Carolinians have always loved to laugh. Their own merry hearts and the many humorists abiding among them have always enabled them to indulge this love."
North Carolina humor has been mined from all levels of the human condition, from the most powerful offices of government to the simple lives of poor farmers and tradesmen. Folk humor, by both blacks and whites, has been conveyed between generations primarily through oral means. It is rooted in the mundane details of life, such as work, family, community, religion, and getting along (or not getting along) with one's neighbors.
Englishman John Lawson, after visiting the young colony in 1701, described many amusing sights and experiences in A New Voyage to Carolina (1709). His frank, often witty observations concerning the native culture and animals, as well as the Europeans' interaction with local Indians, stand as the first written examples of North Carolina humor. Lawson observed, for example, that "most of the Savages are much addicted to Drunkenness, a Vice they never were acquainted with, till the Christians came amongst them." Such biting humor appears throughout A New Voyage to Carolina, making it an insightful and entertaining work for modern readers.
Humor has a way of connecting a generation with its predecessors, whose sophistication the modern mind may tend to underestimate. It may surprise contemporary North Carolinians that the state's first century left many examples of "verbal play" that are often more subtle and urbane than what passes as first-rate humor today. In addition, coarse, raw humor is not a modern invention: shocking and ridiculing people has always been the humorist's fertile ground. Ham Jones, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, became acclaimed for his "Cousin Sally Dilliard" sketches that poked intuitive fun at southern life and culture-particularly its court system (Jones was a lawyer by trade). Charles Napoleon Bonaparte Evans, the editor of the Milton Chronicle in Caswell County from 1841 until his death in 1883, found fame through his "Fool Killer" letters, which were allegedly written by a man wielding a club with which he threatened or actually brained those he found annoying or deserving of his wrath. Only a handful of these brutally hilarious letters remain.
Other nineteenth-century humor exists in the form of news items that strike the modern reader as absurdly funny. The Carteret County Telephone (7 Apr. 1882) ran this important news item: " LOCAL. While whittling with his axe, William Weekly chopped off his entire little finger. No trace of the finger has been found and it is assumed that one of his chickens got it."
Zebulon Baird Vance, North Carolina's Civil War governor and later a U.S. senator, was one of the state's most influential figures as well as a seemingly endless source of humorous retorts and observations. His brilliant wit, rooted in a salt-of-the-earth intellect that came from his Buncombe County upbringing, was known throughout the nation. Perhaps the most famous one-liner in North Carolina history-"What did the governor of North Carolina say to the governor of South Carolina? 'It's a damn long time between drinks'"-has even been attributed to him by some historians. Whether or not this was his line, Vance left more than his share of memorable and amusing witticisms.
In the twentieth century, the works of author Thomas Wolfe and playwright Paul Green, although serious art, were nevertheless laced with much humor and wit. Writer and newspaper editor Harry Golden, who moved from New York City to Charlotte in 1941, took on such vital issues as race relations and civil rights with his brand of broad humor. Contemporary author David Sedaris, in his books, on public radio, and onstage, has entertained audiences with stories of his North Carolina childhood in Raleigh.

About Pikaia
Pikaia is an extinct marine organism that lived during the Early Cambrian Period – about 530 million years ago. It was first discovered and named in 1911 by Charles Walcott. He gave this organism the name Pikaia, which is named after Canada’s Pika Peak.
Just by looking at Pikaia pictures, then you might come to the conclusion that this organism was a fluke worm or a swimming snail. It has that same ribbon-like look to it. One of the interesting facts about Pikaia is that it also isn’t really isn’t a fish, either. It is actually a chordate animal – a phylum of creatures that developed according to a bilateral body plan and an organism that has a nerve called a notocord running the length of a back. A feature in animals that would eventually be replaced by a backbone.
During this period of time, the world was undergoing what would be referred to as an evolutionary explosion. That means that a lot of new creatures were beginning to evolve. And these creatures ranged from the simple to the fantastic. However, I think it is safe to say that little Pikaia belongs in the former category.
Pikaia had a worm-like body with a big head. It was approximately 2 inches long and probably weighed less than an ounce. Honestly, it wasn’t much to look at. However, this creature’s body plan would go on to be some of the most dominant traits on this planet. These traits include bilateral symmetry (both the left and right sides on an organism being exactly the same), a distinct head and forward facing eyes. As such, many scientists believe that it lay at the very foundation of vertebrate evolution.
Where did this creature live? Well, many paleontologists believe that it lived in the shallow waters around North America. It may have lived other places as well, but scientists haven’t found proof of that just yet. That could change in the future if more fossils of Pikaia are found somewhere else.

Tax Regimes.
Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 February 2004
Ceisteanna (73, 74, 75)
159 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if he has acted on the recommendations of the OECD reports on harmful tax competition; if he has satisfied himself that no provisions of Irish tax law fall foul of the criteria set out by the OECD; and the extent to which Ireland participates in the various fora of the OECD on harmful tax competition. [6310/04]
Amharc ar fhreagra
Freagraí scríofa (Ceist ar Minister for Finance)
Minister for Finance (Mr. McCreevy)
The OECD report, Harmful Tax Competition: An Emerging Global Issue, published in 1998, established an international framework to counter the spread of harmful tax competition. The report focused on geographically mobile activities, such as financial and other service activities. It adopted certain criteria for determining whether preferential tax regimes in OECD member countries were harmful as well as guidelines for addressing such harmful preferential regimes. Under the guidelines, member countries were asked to refrain from adopting new measures or extending the scope of or strengthening existing measures that constitute harmful tax practices; review existing measures for the purpose of identifying those that constitute harmful tax practices; and remove the harmful features of any harmful preferential regimes within five years.
To carry out its work on identifying harmful preferential tax regimes, the OECD requested that each member country perform a self-review of its preferential tax regimes by reference to the relevant criteria.
Ireland has participated fully in the OECD harmful tax competition project and has completed a self-review of the four relevant regimes: international finance services centre, the Shannon Airport zone, foreign dividend exemption and foreign branch profit exemption. There are no outstanding issues in regard to these regimes.
Finally, the harmful tax competition work is carried out principally through the forum — working group — on harmful tax practices, a subsidiary body of the Committee on Fiscal Affairs. Officials from the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners serve on the steering group of the forum, along with Government representatives of France, Japan and the United States.
160 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if the EU has adopted position papers on the harmonisation of corporate tax regimes; if the Government has carried out an evaluation of the regime here as a basis for defending the rights of member states to develop their own corporate tax regimes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6311/04]
In 2001, the European Commission issued a communication setting out its strategy in the company taxation area. Its strategy is a twin track approach of targeting particular obstacles in the short to medium term by taking a direct approach to each of the issues and finding a specific answer to the problem; and adopting a longer term comprehensive measure, a proposal for a common consolidated corporate tax base for companies for their EU-wide activities. In 2003, the Commission issued a communication which updated developments on the 2001 communication.
We have no particular difficulty in addressing the removal of tax obstacles to trade where these are shown to exist. We do not go along with tax harmonisation or with proposals for a consolidated tax base. In our evaluation, and in my experience, the best way to defend a member state's right to pursue its own tax policies appropriate to its needs is to retain the requirement for unanimity on all tax issues when they come before Council.
161 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if he has conducted an evaluation of the corporate tax regimes of the new entrants to the EU; the key areas in respect of which they differ from the regime here; and his views on whether any of these provisions constitute harmful tax competition. [6312/04]
During the accession negotiations, the accession states committed themselves to the principles of the code of conduct, adopted in December 1997, and to introducing only new measures that are in conformity with those principles. The Deputy will recall that the code of conduct is a political agreement designed to curb harmful competition in business taxation. Once measures were identified as being harmful under the code, then the measure had to be rolled back subject to an agreed time frame for transitional arrangements.
As part of the accession process the EU Commission reviewed the corporate tax regimes of the ten accession states. In doing so, the Commission used the same criteria as that applied when the corporate tax regimes of the existing member states were reviewed under the code of conduct process. The findings of the Commission were then considered by the member states and Council agreed that a number of the 30 regimes identified have harmful features which must be rolled back.
From 1 May 2004, the accession states as full members of the Union will be members of the code of conduct group. It is anticipated that work will continue in that group.
What is clear is that each member state as well as the accession states has different corporate tax regimes. One of the key areas in which they differ is in their corporate tax rates. While we have always played our part in the evaluation of other corporate regimes we have also stated that the rate of tax applying is not a valid criteria. We believe that the issue of all tax rates is a sovereign matter for each member state to decide, so long as the underlying regime is not harmful. This has long been Ireland's position and will remain so.

North Shore Presbyterian Church, Shorewood, Wisconsin, began as a "mission" of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Milwaukee in 1922.
The first service of the newly organized Shorewood Presbyterian Society was held on June 16, 1923 in a storefront on Atwater (now Capitol Drive) and Stowell Avenue. The old Shorewood jail located next to the village hall served as a setting for Sunday School for a period of time.
The original wooden church building built in 1924 was at Kenmore and Oakland Avenues.
Shorewood Presbyterian Society changed its name to Shorewood Presbyterian Church in 1929.
Membership and church school attendance had grown to where two Sunday services were needed. The Society's name was changed to North Shore Presbyterian Church in 1951.
A new larger brick church of Colonial architectural style was built at Kenmore and Bartlett Avenues and dedicated on March 16, 1952. Construction of the educational wing and chapel addition was completed in 1959.
A large brick memorial patio, again of Colonial design, was built in front of the church during summer 2002 to better facilitate the summer 9:00 a.m. outdoor worship.
A new logo was created with a pineapple image to represent North Shore Presbyterian Church around Shorewood, WI. The pineapple is the universal image which means hospitality. We welcome you to worship with us.

1.6.2 Riboflavin (vitamin B2)
Riboflavin or vitamin B2, which was originally known as vitamin G, is found in a wide variety of foods, including milk and dairy products. It is more stable to heat than some of the other B vitamins, but is destroyed by exposure to sunlight. Milk in a glass bottle exposed to sun, loses 10% of its riboflavin per hour. Riboflavin plays a crucial role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins and is involved in many other metabolic reactions in the body.

The study of the history of the English language has a long and rich tradition, starting with a range of editions of important Old and Middle English texts in the middle of the 19th century, many of which are still available as reprints from the early English Text Society (see Text Editions). The linguistic study of the history of English took off in the 20th century with a range of traditional grammars usually concerned with the phonology and morphology of Old and Middle English and a further range of detailed studies of the language of particular texts and of particular dialects areas. Since the 1970s and in the wake of the development of functionalist and formalist models of language structure, language use, and diachronic change, the various historical stages of English and the diachronic changes in the domains of phonology, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics have also become a favorite playground of historical linguists. The study of these aspects has been greatly enhanced by the recent boost of computerized corpora, including text corpora as well as corpora enriched with various types of linguistic information. The history of English in all its breadth has thus become a field of study that draws both on rich documentation and on linguistic and methodological sophistication.
Many introductory textbooks present an overview of the main characteristics of English in its various historical stages and survey the grammatical development of English against the backdrop of its socio-cultural history. Barber, et al. 2009 is an updated edition of Barber’s classic text. Baugh and Cable 2002 is the fifth edition of another classic; it is rich in its historical detail and sociocultural background and is highly accessible to a wide audience. Cable 2002 is a companion book to Baugh and Cable 2002, which presents many attractive exercises for beginning students. The following selections consist of some relatively recent texts. Fennell 2001 and van Gelderen 2006 are both useful introductory course books that can also be read independently. Whereas Fennell is strongly focused on the development of the language in its changing sociolinguistic setting, van Gelderen 2006 is primarily written from a linguistic perspective. Horobin 2010 is a short overview text that focuses on some of the highlights of the history of English in short chapters. McIntyre 2009 has a quite different format, giving a treatment that is introduced at four different levels of depth, each in a separate book section. Burnley 2000 is an extremely useful source for textual material from all periods.

Research Papers on the PA Unified Judicial System
PA Unified Judicial System is the court system provided for by the PA State Constitution.
PA Unified Judicial System research papers look at the five levels of the judicial System in the state of Pennsylvania. Based in Pennsylvania, Paper Masters can help you write about the judicial system in the state.
The PA Unified Judicial System is the court system provided for by the PA State Constitution. It has five levels of courts, structured in a pyramidal style.
Municipal, Traffic and Magistrate Courts
Common Pleas Courts
Commonwealth Courts
PA Supreme Court
The first or entry courts are the Municipal, Traffic, and Magistrate courts divided between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. These courts hear non-jury criminal cases, and civil and traffic cases. The second mid-level are the Common Pleas Courts with 60 judicial districts across the state, which hears all major civil and criminal cases and all matters concerning children and families. The intermediate level contains two courts, the Superior Court, which is a general court of appeals having 15 judges, where civil and criminal appeals are heard, and the Commonwealth Court, which is a special court having nine judges, where appeals from decisions concerning state agencies and civil cases brought by the state or against the state are heard. The fifth and highest is the PA Supreme Court which has seven judges and administers the court system, hears a lower court case at its discretion, hears appeals in death penalties, and may choose to hear appeals that come from the Superior and Commonwealth Courts.
PA Court System
The PA court system began in the 1600s when local non-lawyers appointed by the governor meted out justice. It changed over the years through judicial acts and prior PA constitutions and finally became the present unified system in 1968 when it was reorganized and minor courts were made to hear cases, thus reducing the workload of the Superior and Supreme Courts.

Pro: Bi-partisan health care plan would have prevented election uneasiness for Democrats
Updated Jan 10, 2019; Posted May 04, 2012
By Syndicated columns
Was Barney Frank right when he recently asserted that Congress erred by rushing through health care reform?
By Grace-Marie Turner
ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Rep. Barney Frank has led a parade of Democrats in renouncing the passage of the Affordable Care Act, suggesting the far-reaching law may be a net deficit for the party on Election Day.
"I think we paid a terrible price for health care," the Massachusetts Democrat recently told reporters. "I would not have pushed it as hard."
He said President Obama should have seen the election of Republican Scott Brown to replace the late Sen. Ted Kennedy as a demand to pivot away from sweeping health reform two years ago.
Other Democrats have echoed Frank: Obamacare cost the president "a lot of credibility as a leader," said Virginia Sen. Jim Webb.
Passing Obamacare "wasn't worth" the political cost, added Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth.
"The climate out there was really ugly because of it," said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash.
Former Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala. says Obamacare "is the single least popular piece of major domestic legislation in the last 70 years." It will be "an albatross" for Democrats in 2012, Davis predicts.
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., had labored in 2009 to develop a health reform plan that could win bipartisan support.
Having Republicans on board would have deflected the sharp partisan divide, but the White House short-circuited the effort because the president and his advisers grew impatient with the delay.
As it is, the healthcare overhaul law is in serious trouble and may either be struck down by the Supreme Court -- in part or in full -- or it will become a major issue in the 2012 elections, with a strong effort on behalf of conservatives to push for full repeal next year.
Two-thirds of the American people in a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll said they want all or part of the law to be struck down by the courts. If the Congress remains divided and President Obama is re-elected, major changes will have to be made to the law.
The cost is soaring even before most of its provisions take effect in 2014. The Congressional Budget Office now calculates the 10-year cost will be $1.76 trillion, nearly twice the $940 billion estimated when the law was enacted two years ago. In an era of ballooning federal deficits, these costs are simply unacceptable.
Further, major companies are seriously considering dropping health insurance coverage altogether to avoid the huge costs of complying with the employer mandate.
The price tag will rise even further as millions of people who currently receive health insurance at work learn that their employers are sending them into the subsidized coverage in the exchanges.
Former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin expects this could add an additional $1 trillion to the cost of the law.
As Obamacare falters, members of Congress will be forced to head back to the negotiating table and get reform right because there are serious problems in the health sector that must be solved.
There is general agreement that reform must provide a strong safety-net for people with pre-existing conditions and that subsidies were needed to help millions of uninsured obtain coverage. Medicare and Medicaid both must be changed if they are to survive. There are changes that both sides could agree on.
Republicans say they will take a step-by-step approach to reform. As they plan their strategy, it would be wise for them to take a lesson from Frank: First, don't try to do too much too fast, and, second, make sure you have bi-partisan support for health reform legislation so you can garner support from Democrats as well as Republicans.
That's the only way for healthcare legislation to be accepted because its mandates ultimately will impact all Americans.

HIGH ON PERU & BOLIVIA
High on Peru and Bolivia
Follow in the footsteps of the nineteenth-century travellers who wrote of soaring Andean peaks plunging into luxuriant Amazonian canyons of orchids, pythons, and jaguars. Immerse yourself in Peru, home of the richest treasures, the bloodiest conquests, and the most advanced ancient civilizations.
Neighbouring Bolivia remains one of the most indigenous countries on the continent; meet people descended from the Incas, speaking the languages of the ancients, playing traditional music on armadillo-shell guitars. Taken together, these friendly neighbours offer unparalleled richness in culture, nature, and landscape.
Day 8 • Cuzco - Pucara - Raqchi - Puno & Lake Titicaca
Today we travel by road to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca (+/- 7 hours, with stops).
From Cuzco, we head south-east, through green fields dotted with willow trees and eucalyptus groves, passing outlying communities gathered around colonial churches that conceal their artistic treasures behind crumbling adobe facades. The first half of the journey is dominated by magnificent Andes followed by the gentler, rolling Andean Plains, where vicuna and alpaca are often seen. This is a wild, high, windswept and sunburned prairie of isolated communities of shepherds and cattle farmers, wedged between the two distant branches of the Andes visible occasionally on either horizon, when not melting completely with the giant cumulus clouds that dominate the skyline.
Along the way we visit Pucara (aka Pukara), where we visit the ruins of the Pucara culture and its museum, located at the breathtaking elevation of about 3900m (almost 13,000 feet). This town is known across Peru for the archaeological site of Pukara and a vibrant modern pottery-making tradition. The fort is made of large walls, terraces, and staircases and was part of defense of Cuzco in particular and the Inca Empire in general.
We then stop at Raqchi and the ruined Temple of Wiracocha, named for a deity believed to be the giver of all life; the temple was thought to be built to to appease him and honour him. The temple is said to be specifically built so that people had to walk in a zigzag motion, which is related to the relationship between Wiracocha and Inca cosmology.
Finally we will pay a visit to the district of Andahuaylillas with its Baroque church, known as the "Sistine Chapel of South America".
Puno, at 3830m (12,562 feet), is the main settlement on the Peruvian shore of Lake Titicaca and the highest place on our tour in which we will spend some time. Puno is the greatest centre of Peruvian folk dancing and traditional instruments; the markets and streets of Puno are bustling with the brightly-coloured costumes of the different groups of the region.
Overnight in Puno.
Day 9 • Lake Titicaca: Floating Islands
This morning we travel north and east to Sillustani, situated on a wind-swept peninsula on tiny Lake Umaya. The burial towers of the nobles of the Colla civilisation are up to 12 metres / 40 feet high. However, it is not known exactly when they were built. Known as chullpas, it is thought that whole families were buried in the towers.
Returning through the stark landscape to Puno, we take an afternoon boat excursion to the floating islands of Los Uros. The Uros people began their floating existence centuries ago in an effort to isolate themselves from their rivals, the Collas and the Incas. Today, about 300 people live on the islands. The islands are constructed from many layers of floating tortora reeds which grow in the shallow waters of Lake Titicaca. The reeds rot away from the bottom and are replaced at the top, so the ground is soft and springy as you walk over it. Even the buildings on the islands are made of tortora. The whole life of the Uros people revolves around the reeds. They even eat the lower stalk and root, which is supposed to taste like celery.
Today the Uros live mainly from fishing, including catching the giant pejerray which can grow up to 13.5 kg / 30 lb.
Day 10 • Puno, Peru - Copacabana, Bolivia
Today we travel round the Peruvian side of the lake and cross into Bolivian territory. The village of Chucuito is built over an Inca settlement and has an Inca sundial on display which was assembled in the mid-1800s using colonial, Inca, and modern era stones. The turbulent history of the lake region can be seen in the many Inca and pre-Inca sites as well as Spanish colonial churches dotted across the area.
We drive along the western shores of the lake taking in various small towns which are famous for their colonial churches and architecture. One of the most unusual towns along the lake is Juli, which has four huge churches and yet is a small town. The town was originally the Spanish capital of the lake region and the Spaniards hoped to convert most of the indigenous population to Catholicism. While building the Church of Santa Cruz the local stonemasons incorporated Inca motifs into the Christian decorations.
This afternoon we will enjoy a relaxed walking tour of Copacabana. For centuries, Copacabana has been a site of religious pilgrimage, beginning with the Incas. We visit the Cathedral of the Indian Virgin, built between 1605 and 1820. It is a brilliant Moorish structure with mudejar domes, colourful azulejos (decorative tiles), and a beautiful church courtyard decorated with wonderful flower gardens. Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims travel from distinct parts of Bolivia and other Latin American countries to take part in religious festivals in Copacabana. Legend says that if the statue is removed Lake Titicaca will rise up and flood the whole Altiplano region.
For the energetic, there is a walk up to Cerro Calvario (Calvary Hill) for beautiful views of the town and lake. Pilgrims pass the 14 stations of the cross to reach the top but once there they encounter, as so often in Bolivia and Peru, a fusion of Catholic and pagan beliefs.
Overnight in Copacabana.
Day 11 • Lake Titicaca
Today is spent exploring Isla del Sol in Lake Titicaca by boat. This is the most important of the thirty-six islands in the lake. Lake Titicaca, South America's largest lake, straddles the Bolivia-Peru border and is said to be the highest navigable body of water in the world at an altitude of 3810 m (12,497 ft). Lake Titicaca was once much larger than the 8560 sq kilometres (3,305 square mi) it occupies today. The great city of Tiahuanaco was built at the edge of the lake, but today it is more than 25 km (15 mi) from the lake. This reduction in the lake size has had a tremendous effect on the climate of the Altiplano region over the past 1,000 years and has made this cradle of cultures able to support far fewer people today.
The cleverly terraced slopes of Isla del Sol contain numerous ruins and small traditional villages. We see the Inca steps where water from a natural spring runs through three stone channels. The sacred water is supposed to cure ailments and bring long life. The three stone channels represent the three commandments of Inca life: Don't Lie, Don't Steal, and Don't be Lazy. The Inca society was highly organised and industrious; laziness was punishable by death.
We return to Copacabana for dinner. This evening you may like to take a stroll along the lake shore at sunset.
Day 12 • Copacabana - Tiahuanaco - La Paz
This morning we drive towards La Paz. We take first a ferry across from the peninsula on which Copacabana sits to the Bolivian mainland and drive to La Paz, one of the world's highest major cities.
En route we stop at Tiahuanaco. This flat, desolate landscape would not seem capable of supporting life, and yet this is where the majority of Bolivia's population live. Here we may see llamas and alpacas, the only surviving relatives of the camel found in the Americas. Tiahuanaco is an ancient ceremonial site constructed around AD 700. After about AD 1200 the Tiahuanaco people disappeared, becoming another 'lost' civilisation. We know little about the people of Tiahuanaco but it is believed that their civilisation developed over a period of 2,000 years and then mysteriously vanished.
Our destination is La Paz, located at 3686 m (12,090 ft) above sea level. La Paz is situated in a bowl-shaped canyon in the Cordillera Real (Royal Range) of the Andes. As we travel across the Altiplano, the ground suddenly drops away 400 m (1,312 ft) to reveal the city hidden in a bowl in the mountains.
Overnight in La Paz.
Day 13 • La Paz: City Tour
The mountains surrounding La Paz soar to an average of 5500 m (18,040 ft) above sea level. The most spectacular views of the city come on a clear evening when one can see the twinkling lights of the city stretching up the hillsides, under the the snow-capped triple peak of Mount Illimani at 6402 m (20,999 ft).
Today will explore the Spanish colonial quarter of the city and visit the Archeological Museum of Bolivia, which has a special exhibit dedicated to the site of Tiahuanaco visited yesterday. We also experience the colourful markets of La Paz. The markets are a great place to observe the colourfully-dressed native Quechua and Aymara-speaking people. The women wear many layers of petticoats covered by a colourful dress, and over their shoulders they sling a multi-coloured striped blanket called a 'phulla' in which they carry their groceries or babies -- or both! On their heads they wear a bowler hat (which always appears to be too small) at a jaunty angle. The British brought the bowler hat to Bolivia when they were building the railway and somehow it became part of the everyday dress of Andean women.
We finish our day with a visit to a great place to buy some of the handicrafts, such as colourful sweaters woven from sheep's wool or from the light-weight, very warm wool of the native Andean animals. We finish at the unusual Mercado de los Brujos, better known as the Witches' Market, where you will see all sorts of potions, herbs and folk remedies used to guard against evil spirits.
Day 14 • Departure
Departure from La Paz.
Breakfast daily and most dinners (hotels and local restaurants)
Along with other rapidly developing countries in South America, Peru and, perhaps less so, Bolivia, are making great strides toward tolerance and equality. That said, both are still conservative in general and gay culture remains largely underground and confined to larger urban centres. The Internet and mass tourism have brought awareness and greater acceptance with the increased exchange of ideas and exposure to alternative lifestyles. Keeping it low key, indifference is the worst we ever encounter; the norm is a warm and friendly welcome.

No Women, No Peace: Time to Change Peace Building
by Shelagh Daley
You can't build peace leaving half of the people out.
Women are a prime target in conflict, yet when it comes to building peace, they are being left out. The discourse around peace building often emphasizes the importance of inclusive and sustainable peace; however, many negotiations proceed amid blatant discrimination against half of the population.
Agreements made in peace negotiations set out the groundwork for post-agreement political, economic and social development, yet only a shocking one in 40 peace signatories in the past 25 years has been a woman. In addition to making claims of inclusivity highly questionable, this means experiences and issues affecting women are left off the agenda. Decision-making that is more inclusive and democratic is a better informed process and leads to better decisions and outcomes.
The "No women, no peace" campaign was created in the United Kingdom to mark the tenth anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and to urge the UK government to honor its commitments on women, peace and security.
Issues such as sexual violence (including the widespread use of rape as a weapon of war), widowhood, women's insecurity and the erosion of women's rights in times of conflict are not paid sufficient attention. When women's voices are not heard, their needs go unmet and wider power inequalities are perpetuated. Only 16 percent of peace agreements even mention women, and often when women are mentioned, it is to restrict their rights. In addition, the failure to empower women peace builders has been identified as a key barrier to the successful implementation of peace agreements.
The need to include women in peace negotiations has been accepted by the UN Security Council in Resolution 1325, which recognizes women's experiences of conflict and calls for women's participation in peace and reconciliation efforts. October 2010 marked the tenth anniversary of this landmark resolution, but its real impact is yet to be felt by many women who experience conflict. The "No women, no peace" campaign is working to change this.
Women worldwide are asking to be involved in formal peace and transition processes. In Egypt, women took part in the Jan. 25 revolution, but have been marginalized in decision-making and even subjected to virginity testing. This is a clear attempt to use fear and shame to prevent women's participation in public life. Egyptian women are speaking out and demanding to be part of the process that will determine the future of their country.
The "No women, no peace" campaign believes that the UK government can help. By using its significant diplomatic clout and ensuring the effective implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 through policies such as the UK National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security and the Building Stability Overseas Strategy, the UK government can make a difference for women in conflict areas.
Over the next few months, "No women, no peace" will work to ensure that the UK government puts women's rights and women's participation at the heart of discussions around the transition in Afghanistan.
When military intervention began in Afghanistan in October 2001, protecting the rights of Afghan women was prominent in both UK and U.S. government rhetoric. Ten years later, world leaders are discussing the transition of international forces out of Afghanistan. Will women be at the table to negotiate the transition? Will women's rights remain firmly on the agenda, or will they be marginalized and traded away for so-called "peace"?
To show that people in the UK are serious about holding the government to its promises to Afghan women, "No women, no peace" is organizing workshops for activists throughout the UK. Activists are invited to attend or host workshops, and campaign packs will be available online for downloading. The recent publication UNSCR 1325: The Participation Promise, provides a detailed overview of the issues and arguments surrounding women's participation in peace and post-conflict reconciliation. U.S.-based activists also can write to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asking her to ensure that women's rights are central to discussions on the future of Afghanistan.
For peace to be meaningful, the end of conflict must mean the end of violence for women. Women must be involved in decisions that shape their societies and their future.
Shelagh Daley is the campaigns and outreach officer for Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS), a coalition of peace and development organizations working for the meaningful inclusion of gender perspectives in all aspects of UK policy and practice on peace and security. GAPS is currently running the "No women, no peace" campaign. For the most up-to-date news on the "No women, no peace" campaign, follow our blog, Facebook and Twitter.

What is peacebuilding? Ask the public
This International Peace Day a striking 84% of people in the UK, US and Germany agree that ‘human beings have the right to live in peace: free from conflict’.
Teresa Dumasy
Political leaders and traders from either side of the Line of Control in Kashmir meet for the first time on the Chakothi Bridge after 60 years of separation, as trading across the Line of Control is established. Muhammad Arif Urfi. All rights reserved.Amidst heightened global insecurity and media criticism of foreign aid spending, one might assume a rise in public sympathy for military solutions to armed conflict. However, a new poll shows there is surprisingly strong public appetite to invest in long-term peacebuilding efforts.
During the UK general election campaign this year, the press reported a split in the Cabinet between defenders of the 0.7% foreign aid budget and those who favoured a cut and redirection to a combined defence and security budget. The purpose of this would be to shore up security in countries which are incubators for terrorism.
But cutting foreign aid to free up money to ‘keep Britain safe’ is a false dichotomy. Spending more on defence and security in countries where chronic political and governance problems are fuelling conflict and providing fertile ground for radical groups will not resolve those issues or necessarily make Britain safer. Whereas, international aid, when it works with people to address the factors fuelling conflict, can do.
Peacebuilding is often an invisible sub-sector of international development. There is no one definition of the term, but it is considered by the United Nations and those that work in the field as a process which goes beyond ending violence to establish the conditions for durable peace and prevent the recurrence of violence. For most practitioners, peacebuilding should be owned by people living with conflict, based on an analysis of conflict and peace, and involve strategic interventions to address underlying causes or drivers of conflict.
Until now it has been unclear what the UK public knows and thinks about peacebuilding. However, the results of three national surveys published today by NGO Conciliation Resources and the US-based Alliance for Peacebuilding, to coincide with International Day of Peace on 21 September, shed new light on public attitudes here, in the US and in Germany. The results are striking, and useful.
In the UK, 71 per cent of respondents agreed that ‘peacebuilding plays a vital role in ending violent conflicts’ and 60 per cent stated that the UK should be investing more resources in it. Compare this to the results of surveys that assess levels of support for an increased overseas aid budget – around 15 per cent in 2016 according to one monitor. While the two questions are not directly comparable, the discrepancy in responses suggests that raising public awareness of peacebuilding as an aspect of overseas aid, and raising it as a UK aid priority, would tap into existing public support.
Asked why they think their governments should get involved in peacebuilding, the most popular justifications related to human rights, with a striking 84 per cent of people in the UK, US and Germany favouring the argument that ‘human beings have the right to live in peace: free from conflict’. This shared respect for basic human rights is heartening at a time of increased polarisation in society.
But what do the public understand by ‘peacebuilding’? The three most popular choices selected by people in the UK and the US from a range of descriptions, reflect what people working within this sector would consider to be the key principles and values of peacebuilding. Most people see peacebuilding as ‘the long-term process of rebuilding relationships, changing attitudes and establishing fairer institutions’. It is telling that in Northern Ireland, where people well understand the trauma and long-term consequences of violent conflict, 79 per cent of people chose this statement compared to 68 per cent in the UK as a whole.
Other popular descriptions showed an understanding of peacebuilding as an inclusive endeavour involving ‘everyone from communities to governments working to end fighting and prevent the recurrence of violence’, and as addressing ‘the underlying drivers, not the symptoms of conflict.’ Rather than interpreting peacebuilding as high-level deals and top-down solutions, the results show public appreciation of the long-term and inclusive nature of the work.
So why do these opinions matter? Firstly, because there is a clear need for sustained investment by a wide range of people, governments, and international institutions in efforts to reduce violent conflict and build peace. Half the world’s poor live in countries affected by conflict, fragility and violence. Conflicts drive 80 per cent of humanitarian needs and reduce gross domestic product by on average two percentage points per year. Today’s famines in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and north-eastern Nigeria, affecting millions of people, are a result of violent conflict fuelled by a complex system of factors.
Knowing what the public understand peacebuilding to be, and how strongly they feel about it, is essential information to feed into efforts to shift the emphasis from military solutions to long-term work to tackle the root causes of conflict and to prevent it from happening.
Conflicts fuel world military spending – estimated at $1.69 trillion in 2016. These are resources that could and should go to addressing poverty and humanitarian needs. By contrast investment in peace-keeping and peacebuilding is fractional. More to the point, peacebuilding works. As a report by International Alert published today shows, there are countless examples of how peacebuilding and conflict prevention efforts are effective in addressing causes of conflict in areas such as governance, security, livelihoods and justice.
Finally, public opinion also has a bearing on the scope for one of the most sensitive but necessary areas of peacebuilding: activity aimed at encouraging armed groups to abandon violence and engage in a peace process. Contrary to expectations, the survey results revealed high levels of support for institutions like the UN, as well as governments, ‘talking to’ or ‘mediating between’ armed groups in pursuit of peace. Presented with examples like Northern Ireland and Colombia, 75 per cent of UK respondents even said the UN should be able to ‘negotiate with’ proscribed terrorist organisations (69 per cent for governments). Furthermore, most people would feel ‘hopeful’ if they knew that the UK Government had played a key role in negotiating peace between or with armed groups in the world.
At a time of proliferating conflicts that generate a sense of global insecurity and fear, these are hopeful findings. They should give decision-makers greater confidence in defending and prioritising the investment of resources in peacebuilding, and in communicating this to the public. Our mutual security and prosperity depends on it.

Home News Reports No woman minister in the second cabinet also of KCR in Telangana, which was expanded from 2 to 12 after 66 days
News ReportsPolitics
No woman minister in the second cabinet also of KCR in Telangana, which was expanded from 2 to 12 after 66 days
Chief Minister, K Chandrasekhar Rao retained most of the key portfolios like finance, IT, urban development and information and public relations.
TRS Supremo and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao
Almost two months after the Telangana Rashtra Samiti was elected for its second term in the assembly elections, the state cabinet was expanded, with 10 ministers being sworn in on Tuesday. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao retained several key portfolios like Finance, IT, urban development and information and public relations.
A simple swearing-in ceremony was held at the Raj Bhavan for the Telangana cabinet expansion.
While there were 16 ministers during the TRS government’s first tenure, the cabinet, as of now, has twelve ministers including the CM and the Home Minister.
Among those who were inducted into the council of ministers were six new faces, S Niranjan Reddy, Koppula Eashwar, Errabelli Dayakar Rao, V Srinivas Goud, Vemula Prashanth Reddy and Ch Malla Reddy. Whereas, A Indrakaran Reddy, Talasani Srinivas Yadav, G Jagadish Reddy and Etela Rajender, who were part of the cabinet in Rao’s previous term, returned as ministers.
However, in a surprising turn of events, KCR’s son KT Rama Rao and nephew T Harish Rao were left out of the cabinet.
Meanwhile, it is speculated that the cabinet will be further expanded post the Lok Sabha elections which are expected to take place in March-May this year. As of now, both of KCR’s trusted associates, KTR and Harish Rao, have been tasked with winning 16 out of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana. Following the Assembly elections, the CM will take a call on either inducting them into the cabinet or give them a role to play at the national level.
Rao, who had taken the oath as chief minister a little over two months ago, delayed the cabinet formation. All this while a two-member cabinet, including the Home minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali and KCR himself, ran the show until finally a 10 member cabinet was sworn in a few days ahead of the budget session of the Assembly. After the expansion, the strength of Telangana council of ministers has risen to 12.
None of the woman members could make it to the Council of Ministers. Rao’s first Cabinet also did not have any woman minister.
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governor ESL Narasimhan administered the oath of office and secrecy to the newly-inducted ministers at Raj Bhavan, in the presence of the Chief Minister.
On December 11, 2018, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi came back to power after winning 88 seats out of 119 assembly seats. On December 13, KCR took the oath as the Chief Minister along with Mahmood Ali who was sworn in as the Home Minister.

Killerton 1921
Exeter, England, Devon, East Devon
Killerton is an early-19th-century woodland garden of 10 hectares, set within a larger park and woodland of around 100 hectares. The house, garden and estate are in divided use.
A house was built on the site in the mid-16th century. Maps of 1756 show rectangular enclosures to the east and west of Killerton House, apparently formal gardens, and a formal avenue. The present house was built in 1778 and the gardens were laid out at the same time by John Veitch.
The gardens are open all year round, but the house is open only between March and December. Please see: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/place-pages/189/pages/opening-times-calendar
The site includes the dramatic outcrop of volcanic rock, Dolbury Hill, together with land running north and west into the valley of the River Culm.
The following is from the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. For the most up-to-date Register entry, please visit the The National Heritage List for England (NHLE):
www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list
An early 19th century woodland garden and pleasure ground associated with the Veitch family, with an early 20th century terrace designed by William Robinson adjacent to the house, set within wider parkland which developed from the late 17th century.
LOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING
Killerton is located 0.5km west-north-west of the hamlet of Budlake in the parish of Broad Clyst, and c 2km south-west of the village of Silverton. The site, comprising c 100ha, includes the dramatic outcrop of volcanic rock, Dolbury Hill, together with land running north and west into the valley of the River Culm. The north, west and south-west boundaries of the site are fenced, while the south boundary follows a minor road and is enclosed by metal estate fences. The east boundary also follows a minor road and is marked by a stone wall c 2m high and by timber fencing. The site has wide views in all directions from the high ground north of the House, together with significant views south-west, south and south-east from the House and terrace, framed by Ashclyst Forest to the south-east and Danes Wood to the south-west, which are outside the site boundary.
ENTRANCES AND APPROACHES
The site is approached from a minor road which follows the southern boundary of the site from Budlake west to Columbjohn. A single-storey stuccoed lodge (listed grade II) built in 1825 by C R Cockerell stands to the north of the entrance which is marked by a pair of granite obelisks (listed grade II) c 3m high which support simple early C19 wrought-iron gates. The drive enters the south park between a pair of mature Turkey oaks, and passes south of the late C18 stables (listed grade II) and estate yard. Following a level course west-south-west for c 350m, the tarmac drive enters the early C20 carriage court which is retained to the south and east by a stone ha-ha (1931). The gravel turning circle is bordered by lawn to the south-east, and by ilex oaks and shrubbery to the north. The gardens are separated from the carriage court by an early C20 stepped stone wall with ball finials and pierced wooden gate.
East of the entrance to the main drive, and adjacent to a stone water trough commemorating Ellen Acland (d 1924), the Lower Drive, now a gravelled track, leads c 400m south-east through an area of early C19 parkland with specimen trees, to join the B3185 Exeter road at Lower Budlake.
PRINCIPAL BUILDING
Killerton House (listed grade II*) is a rebuilding of an earlier house undertaken in 1778-9 by John Johnson as a temporary residence for Sir Thomas Acland. Following the abandonment of James Wyatt's scheme for a house on a new site in 1779, Johnson's house was retained, and enlarged in 1830. Further additions including a billiard room to the north-east of the original block were made in 1900 by Prothero and Philpot of Cheltenham, and a new entrance hall was designed by Randall Wells in 1924. Johnson's house comprises two storeys under a hipped slate roof, the walls being stuccoed with stone dressings. The south facade, originally the entrance front, retains the original recessed front door flanked by early C19 ships' cannon from a family yacht. The west front was extended north in the early C19, when the balcony and verandah supported on open-work iron columns was added.
GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS
Lying principally to the south, west and north-west of the House, the pleasure grounds are separated from parkland to the south by William Robinson's 100m terrace of 1900. Stone retaining walls with low stone parapets support a lawn 4m deep below the south front of the House. Narrow planting beds run parallel to the parapet and the House walls, and a gravel walk 3m wide separates the border below the House from the lawn. At the south-west corner of the House the terrace wall is broken by a stone bastion containing a semicircular seat and sundial, from which there are significant views across the park. To the west of the House the terrace extends c 80m with a herbaceous border to the north separating a gravel walk from the lawns. To the south a symmetrical arrangement of stone-edged panel beds are all planted with herbaceous plants, shrubs and roses in a late C20 scheme devised by Graham Stuart Thomas and John Sales to replace Robinson's early C20 rose garden. A pair of fine relief decorated Coade stone vases (1805) are placed centrally to the east and west of the panel beds. The terrace walk leads to an area of lawn planted with specimen trees and shrubs which has views over a late C20 ha-ha to the park.
The walls of the House support various climbers including Virginia creeper, wisteria, magnolia and solanum. Below the west facade a gravel walk rises north with late C20 mixed planting adjacent to the verandah, to reach an east/west walk which is punctuated by a pair of carved stone urns c 80m west of the House. Lawns with a mature liriodendron and groups of rhododendron sweep south-west and north-west from the House to an area of denser shrubbery adjacent to the west boundary c 250m from the House. A series of east/west walks including Veitch's early C19 Beech Walk traverse the slope north-west of the House, linked by serpentine north/south paths.
Other features include the Bear's Hut or Ladycot (listed grade II*) c 280m north-north-west of the House. Built c 1808, this rustic single-storey timber and thatch building comprises three rooms including a 'hermit's cell', decorated with materials including deer skins, wickerwork, fir cones and deer knuckle bones. An icehouse (listed grade II) was built in 1808 into the slope above a former quarry 30m north of the Bear's Hut, and was converted into a rock garden c 1900. Rocky outcrops are picturesquely planted, with a central pool fed by an artificial stream running down the rock face. A fragment of the Giants' Causeway incorporated in the scheme was placed here in the early C19 by Sir Thomas Acland, tenth Baronet. Sir Thomas is commemorated by a granite Celtic cross (listed grade II) which stands on the western boundary of the pleasure grounds overlooking Cross Parks 270m north-west of the House. North-east of the Memorial Cross the early C18 sunken deer fence which formed the boundary of Veitch's 1770 park remains as a planted ditch within the pleasure grounds, the boundary having been moved west c 1808.
A further area of pleasure ground separated from the park by metal deer fences surrounds the Chapel of the Holy Evangelists (listed grade I) which was built in 1840-1, 400m north-north-east of the House in an existing shrubbery garden. Early C19 shrubbery sweet chestnuts, tulip trees and Lucombe oaks survive, together with later C19 specimen conifers. Mid C19 metal and wire fencing to the north, east and south of the Chapel supports mature wisteria.
South Park to the south and east of the House slopes gently north/south and is today (1998) pasture with scattered specimen trees including Turkey oaks, cedars and mature sweet chestnut pollards. A pond c 260m south-east of the House was formed in 1845-6 and contains an island with a mid C19 small stone duck house and a dogs' cemetery. Parkland with scattered trees extends east adjacent to the early C19 lower drive.
The substantial area of early C19 parkland on the slopes of Dolbury Hill to the north of the House has been reduced by significant areas of mid and late C19 tree planting. The flat summit of Dolbury Hill and the Iron Age fortifications (scheduled ancient monument) retain some early C19 beech planted by John Veitch which form Killerton Clump, together with later C19 specimen conifers. Planting on the Clump is now contiguous with areas of mid and late C19 planting on the west and north-west slopes of Dolbury Hill including Deodara Glen 250m west of Killerton Clump which was planted in the mid C19 with Deodar cedars and other conifers to imitate a Himalayan valley and which has been restored in the late C20. Mount Peel, originally Mount Pleasant, a knoll 450m west of the Clump was developed in the mid C19 with yew trees to form a viewpoint west across the Culm valley, while Park Wood, 660m north-west of the Clump, has been largely replanted with Douglas fir in the late C20 following storm damage. Veitch's sunk deer wall (1810) is evident on the north and north-west boundary of Park Wood, planted on its outer side with deciduous trees to effect a smooth visual transition to the agricultural landscape of the Culm valley. The slopes to the north, north-east and east of Killerton Clump retain a parkland landscape with scattered groups of mainly deciduous trees in pasture, with wide views across the surrounding agricultural land. The Plain, a level plateau north-north-west of the summit of Dolbury Hill retains some late C19 conifers from an arboretum developed by the Veitch nursery for Sir Thomas Acland c 1870, and is now pasture. Cross Parks slopes south from Columbjohn Wood to the west of the pleasure grounds and extends west to Columbjohn chapel and gateway 1.4km south-west of the House. Now (1998) in agricultural use with enclosures of pasture, and limited arable to the south, there has been extensive late C20 planting to restore the late C18 park landscape shown in Tompkin's painting and which was reflected on the OS Drawing (1801). The site of the C18 folly on the eminence 930m west-south-west of the House is marked by limited planting including a mature cedar. In Columbjohn Wood a network of C19 paths survives which link it to the early C19 planting on the west slopes of Dolbury Hill.
Some 350m north-east of the House, the late C18 kitchen garden is now (1998) used as a car park. Enclosed by brick walls c 3m high, an opening in the south-west corner admits vehicles, and original gateways survive in each wall flanked by clipped buttresses of bay while figs are planted in wall angles. Gravel tracks are bordered by grass, and there is an east/west symmetrical planting of ornamental trees centred on a circular dipping pool with a tufa-clad fountain in the middle of the garden. An opening in the north wall leads to an irregular-shaped nursery or fruit garden enclosed by holly hedges, which is now (1998) terraced for additional car parking. To the east of the kitchen garden a further area of nursery remains with late C20 glasshouses and gardeners' offices.

Description: The Bear's Hut was originally a summerhouse. A pet black bear was brought back from Canada by Gilbert Acland, and was kept here in the 1860s.
The estate lies off the B3181 between Exeter and Cullompton.
In the south west of England, some 8km north east of Exeter, a volcanic extrusion rises dramatically out of the undulating Devonshire countryside. Clothed in ornamental woodland and surrounded by parkland, ‘Dolbury Hill' forms the centerpiece to Killerton Park, a diverse and complex grade II* registered landscape designed during the 18th and 19th centuries by its owners, the Acland family, and renowned nurserymen John Veitch and sons. The site's origins, however, long predate this fruitful collaboration.
In addition to the time-depth readily evidenced by the area's geology, which is nationally designated (SSSI) for its interest, the history of early human occupation at Killerton is similarly palpable and reaches back into prehistory. On top of Dolbury Hill itself sit the remains of a hillfort dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages, its national importance reflected by its designation as a Scheduled Monument.
The true story of the development of Killerton, however, begins in the flat valley landscape to the west of the area on the banks of the River Culm, where Sir John Acland is purported to have built himself a mansion in the late 16th century. Known as Columbjohn, the house played a prominent role in British history, serving as the regional headquarters for both the Roundheads and the Cavaliers at different stages of the Civil War, with Cromwell himself known to have been a guest. Now only faint earthworks remain where the house once stood, in a tranquil and forgotten corner of the park with just the lowing cattle to interrupt the dreams of those long-dead partisans.
Although Columbjohn Mansion was not to survive, the possession and influence of the Acland family continued unbroken into the 20th century (the estate was donated to the National Trust in 1944). The family relocated from Columbjohn to their dower house at Killerton sometime during the 18th century. Their new home, nestled at the southern foot of Dolbury Hill, was originally built around 1610, although the present house dates to 1779 with later additions.
The park's earliest incarnation lies to the north of Dolbury Hill, where a large expanse of deer park had been created as a discreet entity separate from Columbjohn. Dating back to at least the 18th century, this landscape more likely represents a former medieval hunting ground, its impressive western park pale still an important feature of the park and forming another Scheduled Monument. A number of spectacular trees survive from this early landscape, forming part of the rich collection of veterans and ancients that are such a distinctive feature of Killerton and that support a diverse range of flora and fauna. The earliest mapped evidence of the area dates to 1756 and shows the extent of the park to the north, as well as an avenue linking Columbjohn in the west with Killerton.
The landscape recorded in this survey was to alter dramatically with the arrival to Killerton in 1770 of John Veitch, hired to realise the ambitions of the Acland family. Veitch hailed from Scotland, training as a nurseryman but with hitherto little experience of designing on the grand scale. By the turn of the century, however, new areas of parkland had been created in front of the house to the south and most extensively to the west, stretching over to Columbjohn. In creating the southern parkland, the road was moved east to accommodate the new stable block and entrance drive; to the west, the former avenue was swept away and the hedgerow boundaries removed. Today no trace of the 18th century avenue remains, although its route was retained within the parkland design and became known as the ‘Processional Way' after 1841, when the family would file across the park for funerals held at Columbjohn chapel - the physical link joining the Acland's new residence to the home of their ancestors may have gone, but the spiritual connection remained strong.
One feature to be retained within the early layout of the western parkland was a folly located on a prominent knoll to the north of the old avenue. It is thought that the folly actually pre-dated the creation of the parkland, although it was relatively short-lived, disappearing sometime in the early 19th century. Now only the brick foundation survives, but the historic existence of this eye-catcher reflects one of Killerton's primary assets - its outstanding views.
Veitch demonstrated his skill at parkland design by capitalising upon the area's dramatic topography to produce numerous awe-inspiring vistas. Far-reaching views to the south were included within the parkland experience by way of a series of terraced paths snaking across the rising ground to the east of the house. Even more impressive is the kinetic sequence of vistas to be obtained from the carriage drive along the eastern edge of the north deer park, which had been newly expanded as part of Veitch's late 18th century alterations.
Here the importance of the surrounding landscape comes fully into play, as the knolls and ridgelines of Devon's distinctive countryside are progressively revealed in theatrical fashion through an ingenious use of topography and tree planting. It is only a small leap to imagine the full effect as experienced from a horse-drawn carriage - today the deer have been replaced with dog-walkers, but the route remains impressive and, in spite of the M5, the landscape in general is devoid of the sort of development that lessens the experience of so many parks throughout the country.
Another important addition to the park at this time was the planting of beech trees on Dolbury Hill, emphasising the drama of the landform and providing a focal feature within the landscape. Today the unintended consequence of Veitch's design is the damage being done to the Scheduled hillfort by the roots of the mature trees. Both are important elements in their own right, and further research is required to inform future management.
The second major campaign of parkland alteration dates from 1808, when one of the most influential Aclands, the ‘Great Sir Thomas', came of age and returned to the estate. Veitch's services were retained and developments continued apace in both park and garden. A new park pale was built across the north deer park in 1810 to develop the western half as ornamental woodland (Park Wood), with numerous drives directing views west over the River Culm.
The southern parkland was further expanded, with the road moved further from the house in two phases and a new parkland drive created to extend the arrival sequence. A grand chapel was built to the east of the house to a design by C. R. Cockrell, now a grade I listed building which reflects the architect at the height of his powers. The garden was transformed with numerous buildings added, including the Bear's Hut, the icehouse and the orangery (the only one not to survive).
Perhaps the most important additions to Killerton during the 19th century in the national context, however, were the ornamental planting schemes introduced by Veitch and sons via their local nursery. The Veitches were introducing new plants to the country through their contacts with the plant-hunters of the day, tested first at Killerton before going on to furnish many other estates throughout the land. Such was its influence, Killerton is considered to be one of the first Arboreta to be established in the country. In 1911, the 140-year-old relationship between the Acland and Veitch families culminated in the development of a national diploma in horticulture, as Arthur Acland (13th Bart) and Sir Harry Veitch were both members of the RHS horticultural education committee.
Alongside these features of national significance, much of the appeal of the park lies in the personal story of the Acland family that is firmly embedded in the landscape, from the imposing Acland Cross to the more modest memorial marking the tragic bicycling accident of 11-year- old Ellen Acland at the front gate. The liberal persuasions of the family are reflected in features such as Mount Peel, renamed in support of Sir Robert Peel's free trade policy, and the front terrace where Lloyd George addressed a gathered crowd in 1926, inspiring the moniker ‘the Castle of Beautiful Liberalism'. Nearly 300 years on from the Civil War, politics still featured large at Killerton.
As with most parks throughout the country, 20th century ploughing, planting and benign neglect has obscured some of the design intent at Killerton. A recently completed Parkland Plan (2012) serves to address this and identifies the best approach for management to restore and conserve the park over a 10-year period, bringing alive the many fascinating stories associated with this rich and diverse landscape.
Text taken from Cookson, Will and Tickner, Matthew 'Acland and Veitch: A Long and Productive Association - Uncovering the fascinating stories behind the development of Killerton Park, Devon'; contributed by the National Trust.
A house was built on the site in the mid 16th century by a lawyer, Edward Drewe, who acquired the property through marriage. In the early 17th century it was sold to John Acland, whose principal residence was Columbjohn, 1.5 kilometres west-south-west of Killerton. Sir Hugh Acland (1637-1713) abandoned Culmbjohn in favour of Killerton in about 1680. Estate maps for Columbjohn and Killerton (1756) provide evidence for the early 18th century landscape: rectangular enclosures to the east and west of Killerton House appear to represent formal gardens, and a formal avenue running through enclosed agricultural land linked Killerton and Columbjohn to the west. To the north, north-west and east of the House an area of 135 acres (about 56 hectares) on Dolbury Hill is shown as enclosed park. This park is shown on Benjamin Donn's Map of Devon (1765), where a small tower west of the park pale probably corresponds to an octagonal brick and stone structure which stood on a knoll 930 metres west of the House. This structure, now demolished, figured in a painting of the Killerton landscape by William Tomkins (1730-1792) which now (1998) hangs in the House.
Sir Thomas Acland (1723-1785) employed John Veitch (1752-1839) in 1770 to lay out a landscape park which was intended to form the setting for a new mansion. Veitch's park enclosed about 500 acres (about 208 hectares) around Dolbury Hill, the summit of which, Killerton Clump, was planted with beech to emphasise its height. The main Exeter to Cullompton road to the south-east of the House was moved east as part of the park improvement. John Johnson was commissioned to remodel the existing house as a temporary residence in mid 1778. The stables about 260 metres east of the House were built by Johnson in 1779-1780, and the walled garden 50 metres north east was constructed in about 1782. The 1801 Ordnance Survey Drawing shows parkland flowing round the House, together with significant areas of woodland planting on Dolbury Hill, including Mount Pleasant (later Mount Peel). The octagonal folly in Cross Parks to the west of the House survived in 1801, and this area appears to have been developed as parkland by the early 19th century. Veitch developed pleasure grounds from 1808 to the west and north-east of the House for Sir Thomas Acland and his wife, Lydia Hoare, on land enclosed from the late 18th century park. Features included gravel walks, shrubberies and a grove of tulip trees near the House. A further area, known as Lady Acland's Shrubbery, was planted to the north-east of the House, which became the site for the Chapel designed by C R Cockerell in 1840-1841. Plans attributed to William Sawrey Gilpin (1762-1843) for a new drive from Killerton to Columbjohn (1820) were not implemented. An orangery was built north-west of the House in 1808, and the appearance of the pleasure grounds and park was recorded in a series of pencil sketches, 'Fragments of Killerton' by John Gendall (1831-1832).
Under the direction of John Veitch's son, James, the pleasure grounds and areas of the park including the Plain, about 650 metres north-north-east of the House, were planted with trees and shrubs newly introduced to cultivation by Veitch's expanded nursery which had relocated from Budlake to Exeter in 1832. Plant-hunting was continued in the early 20th century by Sir Francis Acland, who sponsored expeditions by F Kingdon-Ward.
Sir Charles Acland who succeeded in 1898 remodelled the House, and in 1900 commissioned William Robinson to advise on its immediate setting. Overgrown shrubbery was cleared and the 100 metre terrace south and south-west of the House was built, while the head gardener, John Coutts, developed an old quarry 200 metres north-west of the House as a rock garden in about 1900. Sir Francis, fourteenth Baronet made minor changes in the pleasure grounds which included the construction of a ha-ha between the early 20th century carriage court and the south park, and the demolition of the early 19th century orangery in 1937. The Killerton estate was given to the National Trust by his son, Sir Richard Acland, in 1943. Programmes of replanting in the park, particularly since the construction of the M5 motorway to the east in about 1970, and the introduction of new planting schemes by Graham Stuart Thomas and John Sales on the terrace have been undertaken by the Trust.

Not everyone has seen ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and you’ll be surprised by who has not
By Peter Sblendorio
Jul 30, 2019 | 3:04 PM
"Avengers: Endgame" is the highest-grossing movie of all time. (Disney/Marvel Studios via AP/AP)
Angela Bassett is one of the seemingly few people on earth who still hasn’t marveled at “Avengers: Endgame” ― even though she’s in it.
The actress, who made a cameo as Ramonda in the blockbuster after playing the character in “Black Panther,” revealed she hasn’t seen “Endgame” yet.
“It’s three hours long, right? I haven’t seen it,” Bassett said on the “EW Live” show on SiriusXM radio.
The revelation earned some laughs and gasps from the show’s hosts, before Bassett suggested she might watch the movie on a plane one day.
Bassett, 60, said her two kids have seen the movie, however.

"I’m like, ‘Y’all have fun. I’m just gonna relax and chill at home, thanks, tell me all about it,’ ” Bassett said.
“Endgame,” which premiered in late April, recently became the highest-grossing movie ever, passing “Avatar” by making more than $2.8 billion.
Bassett appears in the movie very briefly, but has a much larger role in “Black Panther,” in which she plays the longtime queen of Wakanda and the mother of T’Challa.

Asia Pacific|Pakistani Group, Suspected by West of Jihadist Ties, Holds Conclave Despite Ban
Pakistani Group, Suspected by West of Jihadist Ties, Holds Conclave Despite Ban
Men leaving the convention of Tabligh Jamaat in Pakistan Sunday said the group was apolitical, although militants might be drawn to it for their own purposes.Credit...Akhtar Soomro for The New York Times
By Jane Perlez
RAIWIND, Pakistan, Nov. 18 — For six days they came: hundreds of thousands of Pakistani men squashed onto a barren rice field, dressed in baggy trousers, crocheted caps on their heads, sandals on their feet and long beards a common feature.
They prayed five times a day, listened to preachers, ate by the flicker of oil lamps and slept, cheek by jowl, on the hard ground.
By Sunday night, the annual convention of the Pakistan-based group Tabligh Jamaat, the largest gathering of Muslims outside Mecca, had come to an end without incident. That, in itself, was remarkable this year: amid the current political crisis, the government had banned all large gatherings and had broken up several others by force.
It was also remarkable because the group, though it publicizes a benign strain of revivalist Islam and is held in wide esteem in many parts of the world, is suspected by Western intelligence agencies to be a recruiting ground for jihadists. The agencies say that among those who have passed through the group were three Western men who have been convicted on terrorism-related charges: John Walker Lindh, Richard Reid and Jose Padilla.
Despite those accusations — and despite the Pakistani government’s declaration of emergency rule in order to deal with, in part, Islamic militants — there never appeared to be any question of raiding the convention.
Supporters of the group say that is because it is fundamentally apolitical. It is often referred to by educated Pakistanis as a soft and gentle crowd who preach a kind of Islam-made-simple. It does not condone violence, and if it attracts attention from jihadist recruiters that may be only because the group has brought so many young men to Islam, its adherents insist.
Founded in India in the 1920s, Tabligh Jamaat blossomed as a revivalist Muslim group in Pakistan and played a prominent role in the growing Islamization of the Pakistani Army in the 1980s.
After the American-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, counterterrorism officials began paying close attention to it after it came to light that some of its sympathizers fought alongside the Taliban against American forces there, said Zahid Hussain, a Pakistani expert on Islamic militants.
The group has followers across Asia and Africa, and a smaller presence in the United States. In Europe, its headquarters is in the British Midlands town of Dewsbury, where two of the suicide bombers in the 2005 London transit attacks attended Tabligh Jamaat lectures, according to British intelligence. The group is also the sponsor of the large mosque planned in London adjacent to the main site of the 2012 Olympic Games.
“The militants have increasingly used Tabligh to recruit people,” said Mr. Hussain, author of “Frontline Pakistan: The Struggle with Militant Islam.”
Tabligh Jamaat acted as a “honey pot” for recruiters of Pakistani jihadist groups, a Western diplomat based in Pakistan said. There was little doubt, he said, that as many as a half dozen such groups — including two banned under Pakistani law, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Lashkar-e-Taiba — would try to make contacts at the annual meeting.
But the many government officials, past and present, from lowly clerks to senior cabinet members, who belong to Tabligh Jamaat either did not know or chose not to make a fuss about the attention of the extremists, the diplomat said.
Among the members are the former head of Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency, Gen. Mahmood Ahmed, who was in Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, and agreed the next day to become America’s ally in fighting terrorism.
The group is highly secretive, and forbids journalists and photographers to attend its sessions, a stricture enforced at the gathering here on Sunday by plainclothes guards armed with bamboo batons. Women are members of Tabligh Jamaat, but they are in much fewer numbers than men, and they are not welcomed at the annual gathering.
The group’s methods were pieced together through interviews with members in Pakistan and abroad, and on the edges of the gathering on Sunday as men, their bedding on their backs, left the giant tents where they had listened to the preachers.
The group’s main thrust is to encourage sympathizers to spread the word of Islam by fanning out across the globe on missionary trips, said Asim Makhdoom, an imam at the Kubra Mosque in Lahore. Groups of usually 10 to 15 people volunteer their time and money for up to 40 days, or sometimes a year, to spread the Tabligh Jamaat version of Islam in their countries or, more ambitiously, abroad.
They are told to travel on public transportation, and to bed down in mosques for no more than three days at a time so they do not become a burden, Mr. Makhdoom said. “If a group is on a pilgrimage for 10 days, they stay in one place for three days maximum,” Mr. Makhdoom said. “They have to finance themselves. They don’t ask for donations.”
Several men who attended the convention said the sermons had fired them up to go on more pilgrimages.
“Through proselytizing we can bring the message of the prophet to the people,” said Said Ghulam, 40, who had driven seven hours from his home in South Waziristan to attend the meeting. He runs his property business for three months of the year, and the rest of the time he devotes to Tabligh Jamaat.
He has been taking part in the annual gathering since 1992, and has gone on a four-month pilgrimage across the country and many other shorter journeys.
A civil servant, Habib Rehman, 39, who described his work as a government “secret,” said he had been a member of Tabligh Jamaat for 20 years. The highlight, he said, was a yearlong mission to Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Wrapped in a brown blanket to ward off the morning chill, flecks of gray creeping into his black beard, Mr. Rehman said he had participated in 40-day pilgrimages every year since he joined.
“I spent $2,000 from my own pocket on the Liberia mission,” he said. “We believe that if the life of a believer is exemplary then others will follow.”
Mr. Rehman said he was aware that members of extremist groups were attracted to Tabligh Jamaat meetings. “We don’t like this,” he said. “They are not in Islam. Our scholars check for them.”
In one instance, a member of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi had come to Tabligh Jamaat “to satisfy his soul,” Mr. Rehman said. “He had killed two people and he wanted to purify himself. We told him what he had done was not a good thing.”
Pakistani followers of Tabligh Jamaat assert that the group’s straightforward teaching is well suited to the nation’s low literacy level.
Many Islamic movements are elitist, often arguing over doctrinal differences, said Arif Zaman, a member of the group and a professor in statistics with a postgraduate degree from Stanford University. Under its big umbrella, Tabligh Jamaat offered a “simple message that an illiterate person can transmit,” he said.
“Given how simple the message is, it’s surprising how people who are not illiterate can be inspired,” he added.
This year, for the first time, the group’s convention was split into two three-day sessions, running last weekend and this weekend. The star preachers were from India, with links back to the founders, Mr. Zaman said.
One of them, Ahmad Lat, in his 70s, reminded his audience that proselytizing for 10 days or six weeks “didn’t get you a certificate.”
“The idea is you live your whole life differently,” Mr. Zaman said of the message from Mr. Lat.
Another educated member, Najam Zaidi, an importer of industrial parts, said: “We have no new message. Our survival is to go back to the basics. We have to reach out and teach that God is going to reward us in the next world.”
That was why, he explained, that General Ahmed, once the director of Pakistan’s most powerful and ruthless intelligence agency and now boasting a flowing white beard, had become “altogether a changed personality” since joining the group.

Global Business|Looking for Investments, China Turns to Europe
Looking for Investments, China Turns to Europe
By Liz Alderman
PARIS — When Prime Minister Wen Jiabao of China visited Athens last month, he came bearing gifts: billions of dollars worth of business deals and a wave of favorable attention from a crucial foreign investor.
“The support of our Chinese friends is fortunate for us,” Greece’s minister of state, Haris Pamboukis, said by telephone.
But China had much greater ambitions. Greece is one foothold for China’s broad, strategic push into Europe. It is snapping up assets depressed by the global financial crisis and becoming a significant partner of other hard-hit European nations.
Ultimately, analysts say, Beijing hopes to achieve not just more business for its own companies, but also greater influence over the economic policies set in the power corridors of Brussels and Germany.
“They are indicating a willingness to stick their nose into Europe’s business,” said Carl B. Weinberg, chief economist of High Frequency Economics.
“It’s very clever and sends a clear message,” he added, “that China is a force to be contended with.”
That message will be reinforced by a visit this week by China’s president, Hu Jintao, who is scheduled to meet with top officials and business executives of Portugal and France.
Europe’s financial crisis this year has created buying opportunities for cash-rich investors, including secretive hedge funds and Qatar, the natural gas giant of the Persian Gulf that recently agreed to invest $5 billion in Greece. But China is leading the charge. It is singling out Greek, Spanish and other downgraded government debt, as well as ports, highways and industries in troubled countries on Europe’s eastern and southern edges.
Ireland and Hungary, among others, are also competing to lure Chinese investments, in the hopes that they will create thousands of new jobs.
“What is happening is that the Chinese are expanding in Europe as they did in Africa,” said François Godement, a senior policy fellow of the European Council on Foreign Relations. “But in Europe, they’re coming in through countries on the periphery, which is extraordinary.”
China is concentrating its efforts on ports in Greece and Italy and highways that link Eastern Europe to Germany and Turkey, and aims to secure larger infrastructure investments over time. It has provided billions of dollars in state financing for key public works projects that support Chinese state-owned companies and Chinese workers.
Such moves could give China a bigger presence in the European chain of distribution and production, while allowing it to build a track record of investments that it hopes will also encourage Europe to support its position on divisive currency issues and in trade disputes at the World Trade Organization.

During his recent European tour, Mr. Wen reminded politicians in Brussels that China had acted as “a friend” to Greece, Spain, Italy and other troubled European countries in their darkest hour by buying bonds as other investors fled. In return, he admonished regional leaders not to “pressure China on the yuan’s appreciation,” referring to the Chinese currency, formally called the renminbi.
In the past several months, China has pledged to buy Greek bonds when the government starts selling again, and purchased $625 million in Spanish debt. On his visit, Mr. Wen hailed scores of business deals in Italy and Greece, including one that allows a Chinese state firm to run Greece’s top shipping port — one of the largest European gateways for Chinese goods.
For China, plowing a small but growing share of its more than $2.3 trillion in foreign currency reserves into European investments instead of low-yielding United States Treasury bills helps diversify its portfolio. Beijing also hopes that this kind of push helps reduce the international political pressure to raise the value of its currency.
“It’s not a coincidence that China is doing this,” said Jens Bastian, an economist at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy. “They have huge currency reserves, and these countries where they are going right now have a dying need for foreign investment.”
While Chinese foreign direct investment in Europe is still small compared with its investments in other regions, it has grown quickly over the past two years. And this spring Europe overtook the United States as China’s largest trading partner.
Struggling Ireland is also looking for a piece of the action, and moves are afoot to create an “investment gateway to Europe” for China in the town of Athlone, which hopes for the creation of thousands of jobs. Prime Minister Brian Cowen of Ireland said in June that China had vowed to be “as helpful as they can to a friend like Ireland in the difficult times that we have.”
The investments also allow Beijing to advance the interests of Chinese companies as they go global. Mr. Wen last month talked up a $4.5 billion credit line that troubled Greek shipbuilders could tap — but almost exclusively to purchase Chinese-made ships. An additional $5 billion is flowing to Greek coffers from China’s state-run Cosco shipping company, which is leasing Piraeus, the port of Athens, to transform it from Europe’s largest passenger port to a much bigger hub for cargo, with aims to more than double traffic to 3.7 million containers in 2015.
In Italy, Cosco is expanding the port of Naples, while HNA, a logistics, transportation and tourism group based in Hainan Province, China, is in talks to build a giant air terminal north of Rome for cargo arriving from China. Mr. Wen pledged an additional $100 billion in trade with Italy through 2015 and heralded 10 business deals between Chinese and Italian businesses.
Some of China’s investments have already raised eyebrows. Last year, China outbid European companies to build a highway in Poland using a Chinese business and workers — with European subsidies — prompting Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany to call for reciprocity.
In the coming decade, Europe will be considering numerous new projects, such as clearing the Danube River of wartime ordnance to use it as a transportation passageway; building railways between countries like Germany and Macedonia; and carving new highways from Germany to Turkey, Mr. Bastian said.
“What Europe lacks is a transportation infrastructure network where Western and Eastern Europe meet,” he said. “This is where China is trying to take advantage of their current buildup.”
Still, for all the fears of ulterior motives on China’s part, many Europeans welcome the investment with open arms. China is mainly interested in promoting trade and making money, said Mr. Pamboukis, the Greek minister of state.
China’s investment strategy in Europe is “discreet and well thought-out,” he said. “I don’t think China is coming in here as a Trojan Horse.”

ACNA Consecration of Andy Lines: Personal Reflections
Mon, 03/07/2017 - 14:44 -- James Oakley
Photos: ACNA
On Friday 30th June, at 4pm UK time, the Anglican Church of North America held a very special service to close their Provincial Assembly. Canon Andy Lines was consecrated bishop. In a previous post, I wrote about the lead-up and background to this.
By the wonders of modern technology, it was possible to watch the whole service live-streamed on Facebook. I tuned in, and found the whole service most encouraging. I'd like to share why.
These are personal reflections drawing out the features of the service that I found particularly heart-warming. (I make no claim that these are, objectively, the best bits, and "all views are my own" certainly applies).
Some Source Material
Before I make my remarks, here are a few bits of source material.
You may wish to read the ACNA post about it. There's also a press release from GAFCON from the day after.
There's a 2-minute interview with Andy Lines from immediately after the consecration:
For as long as the live-stream video is still on Facebook, you can watch the entire service here:
So, then:— My 6 personal "best bits" of last Friday's service:
1. Public
The event was public. "It was not done in a corner" (Acts 26:26). Indeed, very much the opposite.
The service of consecration was announced well beforehand. Not all of the bishops taking part were primates, and some of the others used the time to inform their primates that they intended to attend. For example, you can read letters by Archbishop Glenn Davies of Sydney and by Rt Revd Dr Richard Condie of Tasmania.
A very different approach would have been to have consecrated Andy Lines as a bishop on the quiet, shortly following the Scottish Episcopal Church's Synod last month. After a few days with news awkwardly leaking that there might be a new bishop, this would then have been announced only as a fait accompli.
Instead it was done publicly, with Facebook live-streaming, and the world's media able to watch if they wished. This was nothing to be ashamed of; things were being done properly.
2. Marked by Integrity
Speaking of things being done properly, the whole service was marked by great integrity.
The GAFCON primates had decided that they wished to support a consecration of Andy Lines. However the ACNA College of Bishops had not yet given their assent to have Andy join their number. During the week before the consecration, I heard Andy speak of how he had been questioned by the College as to his beliefs and his conduct. The ACNA bishops wanted to satisfy themselves that he was a man they wanted to have as bishop in their church.
The oaths Andy took before and during the service were the same ones that would have been taken by any ACNA bishop who was to serve domestically.
"Andy, the Holy Scriptures and the ancient canons require that we should not be hasty in laying on hands, and in admitting any person to authority in the church of Christ, which he purchased with no less than the shedding of his own blood. So before we admit you to this office, we will examine you in certain articles, in order that this congregation here may know how you will conduct yourself in the church of God." (Archbishop Foley Beach)
This was not a pragmatic affair, in which someone thoroughly unsuitable was pressured: "You be our leader". After all the proper enquiries and legalities, Canon Andy Lines was found to be a man of great integrity. It gave the bishops of ACNA no greater joy than to add him to their number.
3. International and Unifying
The consecration took place on United States soil. However this was not an event with a mere three bishops taking part. There was a clear show of support from the worldwide Anglican church.
That's a lot of hands! It was hard to see exactly which bishops took part in the consecration itself; so many were crowded round, and the camera angle was not chosen to facilitate an ID parade. At least the primates of Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda, Congo, South Sudan, South East Asia, ACNA and Myanmar took part. Then there were a number of other bishops (the Archbishop of Sydney, the Bishop of Tasmania, and the Bishop of Jerusalem and the Middle East). Then we could list at least 3 retired primates, the Primus of the Free Church of England, and probably many more. They spanned 5 continents, and there was an impressive display of flags at the front of the chapel where the consecration took place.
Any Christian should weep when they see churches disunited, denominations fragmenting, multiple Christian churches in an area refusing to work together. We're called to make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3). Sometimes, such fractures are necessary because of false teaching, but that does not take away the sadness and the pain.
How refreshing to see a truly worldwide gathering of bishops, clergy and lay people gathered from every continent to worship with one voice, and to see a new bishop ordained into the church of God. This is the kind of foretaste of the heavenly worship of every tribe and language and people and nation (Revelation 5:9) that the worldwide Anglican church should be.
4. Missionary-focused
One definite highlight for me was the sermon by Nicholas Okoh, Archbishop of Abuja and Primate of the Anglican Church in Nigeria (to which you can listen here). Quite simply, it was the most biblically faithful charge that Rt Revd Andy Lines could have wanted to set him on the right course. However it was more than that. It was an outward-looking, missionary-focused address. As such, it served to encourage any minister of the gospel who is working away in their little corner of the planet. His text was Matthew 28:16-20.
Here are a few excerpts:
"There were also, in the history of human beings, the challenges thrown up by the renaissance, and after that the enlightenment and also the industrial revolution. For Africa, there was the challenge of the slave trade, and also some very terrible traditions, such as killing of twins, burial of kings with living human beings, obnoxious widowhood rights, and other ungodly traditions. But we praise God because of the Jesus revolution.
"The universal challenges of today include some of these: the climate change, increase in violence and terrorism, human sexuality palaver, the fierce spirit of independence, freedom and human rights, migration, hunger, poverty, disease — including HIV and AIDS, and of course nuclear threats. In all the ages and challenges mentioned above, it was never easy for the men and women who had to speak in the name of God and make disciples."
Sometimes, people accuse GAFCON of focussing on human sexuality as if it were the only issue that matters. As the above quotation shows, this is a caricature. The focus here was on the call to make disciples of all nations, and the many contemporary challenges to that call.
Archbishop Okoh issued a call to preach the real Jesus Christ, and to resist the temptation to water him down in an attempt to make him more palatable. In particular, we mustn't remove "repentance" from the gospel.
"People of God. It's not true, and will never be true, then when we water down the gospel message, more people will accept the church. It's not true, and will never be true. {Applause} In fact, I am convinced that the opposite is the truth. That when we concentrate on delivering the message of Jesus Christ, people will be cut to the heart and say, 'Brothers and sisters, what do we do?' And they will repent.
"Christianity without repentance is not true Christianity. We can not say any less to you, our brother Andy, and to all of us. For all of us today, in one way or the other, are being sent out like our brother is being sent out."
The focus of the sermon was missional — the need to go and make disciples.
"You are to go, to raise new disciples, and bring them in as heirs of the eternal kingdom of God, through the sacrament of holy baptism, in the name of the divine Trinity. And you are to teach, to teach. This is a ministry that is fast dying out in favour of ceremonies. Instead of teaching the people, ceremony is gaining the ascendency. Please teach! To refute erroneous doctrines, and uphold the true word of God. In the words of Jude verse 3: 'I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend to the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's people.' You are to contend for the faith that has been entrusted to the church. This is to contend to ensure that falsehood does not prevail. It is your duty to ensure that that is done."
There is a need to take heed to ourselves and to our hearers. This means being aware of the dangers of false teaching. We live in "a slippery world", and if we're not careful "we end up on the floor". Here's why false teaching is so dangerous:
"As you go, beware of false teaching. Always bearing in mind that in most cases heresy, false teaching, is not necessarily an outright falsehood, but an ingenious mixture of truth and falsehood, like a creature that is partly an animal and partly a human being. It takes the discernment, the spirit of discernment, to be able to recognise, and to be able to know what to do. You are to flee from such teaching."
The call to gospel ministry is a call to suffer.
"Remember that our Lord Jesus Christ suffered vicariously, and you can't do any less. There is vicarious suffering in it. In John's Gospel it is written, in 10:11, 15, 17: 'I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, I lay down my life for the sheep. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life." So there is great risk attached to this errand, brother. It could cost anything."
He then reminds of the suffering of the prophets of old, of Cranmer Latimer and Ridley, the Ugandan martyrs, of some Christians in Nigeria, and of the recent history of ACNA.
"Dedicate your whole ministry to the Holy Spirit, not just a segment of it. So preach in the power of the Spirit! Pray in the power of the Spirit! Call down the power of God in the name of the Spirit. And it will revolutionise your church. When that happens, the dead will rise — the dead all around us! The blind's eyes will be opened to see what had not been seen, to hear what had not been heard, to understand what had not been understood. Follow it!"
His sermon ended with a call from Haggai to be strong, because God says "I am with you", as Jesus promised in Matthew 28.
"God has never disappointed anybody. And he will not disappoint you. So, Andy Lines, keep going. Keep moving. Jesus, our Lord, who is sending you today, is himself the chief missioner. And he's always in it to make you more than a conqueror. And what is more, 'I am with you' — as a person, with your family, with all of us. When the contention is over, when we arrive on the other shore, in the brightness of God's holy presence, in his eternal felicity, he will be with us. Yes! 'I am with you to the close of the age!'"
5. English
Yes, the event took place on American soil. Yes, it was thoroughly international in character. However Bishop Andy is English, and is being sent by ACNA to serve in Europe with a particular initial focus in Scotland.
There were a number of touches to the service that ensured the English context was not lost. It was good to hear Bible readings from Robin Weekes, incumbent at Emmanuel Wimbledon. Another was ready by Mandy, Andy Lines' wife.
However the big encouragement was the personal message of support by two serving Church of England bishops. Before evangelicals in SEC turned to GAFCON for support, they approached the English archbishops for support. None was forthcoming. Apart from Justin Welby's unwelcome reminder about the dangers of border crossing, no English bishop had broken ranks to speak in support of Canon Andy Lines' forthcoming consecration.
So how delightful to hear Archbishop Foley Beach read out these words:
"I received this morning an email from two bishops in England. I'd like to read it to you.
To Archbishop Foley Beach, and those gathered for the consecration of Andy Lines as bishop in the Anglican Church in North America.
Archbishop Foley, we send greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ as you have invited us to attend the consecration and we cannot do so. We remember with joy our fellowship at the Global South conference in Cairo in October 2016. We pray for you today, especially for Canon Andy Lines, consecrated as a bishop in the church of God. It has been good to meet and pray with Andy in recent years, and to know his heart for the gospel and the witness of the church. Please pray for us in the Church of England, for faithfulness and fruitfulness in these days.
With love in Christ, Julian Henderson, Bishop of Blackburn, and Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead."
6. Anglican
What does it mean to be Anglican? There are a host of answers to that question. First and foremost we trace our identity back to the Book of Common Prayer, and in particular to the 39 Articles of Religion and the Ordinal within. From there you can read the doctrines that all faithful Anglicans should believe, and that Anglican churches should practice (whether they still use the 1662 liturgies, or whether they've adopted modern ones that remain faithful to that heritage).
However there is a style of worship that is recognisable to people who have worshipped in Anglican churches the world over. Different Anglican churches will incorporate this style to varying degrees, but nevertheless there was no doubt at all watching this service: It was Anglican.
As an Anglican who truly enjoys worshipping in the Anglican style, it was lovely to see traditional Anglican worship done well. It had reverence and yet was full of the Spirit, it was liturgical and yet heartfelt.
This was a service that included a liturgy that was recognisable as that for the consecration of a bishop (including singing Veni Creator). It included the sharing of the peace, and the gospel reading with a reverent yet not idolatrous procession; bishops and other ministers were smartly dressed in matching Anglican robes. We opened with a procession led in by the cross, followed by the collect for purity. Prayers were led in the "litany" style, there were multiple readings from Scripture including the psalms. Amongst the hymns was For All the Saints, by the former Bishop of Wakefield, William Walsham How. There were many other identifiably Anglican features.
This was not low-church non-conformity, merely borrowing Anglican credentials for its identity. This was not quasi-Roman Catholicism, trying to appeal more broadly by calling itself anglo-catholic. It was, quite simply, red-blooded, full-bodied Anglican worship, and it was wonderful. It was uplifting to watch and listen via Facebook; it would have been even more joyful to have been there in person.
Those were my 6 personal encouragements from that service. I'm sure there were many other things I could have said. I said at the beginning that these are personal reflections, simply what I most appreciated.
Was there something that you particularly appreciated seeing? Do leave a comment below.

Thank you, James, for an excellent set of reflections. As an attendee to this service, I appreciate the way you have captured the spirit of it and the intentionality of it as well. I am thankful for the mission focus evident in the appointment. May much fruit come as a result!
Submitted by James Oakley on Mon, 03/07/2017 - 15:28
Thanks, Kerry. I'm so glad you were able to be there in person. As you say, this is all about mission, so let's pray for fruit!
"The spirit of it"
I should add - thank you for saying the article captured the spirit of it. I was aware of the risk of writing up an event I hadn't attended in person. For all that the internet connects otherwise scattered people, it is no substitute for being physically present. I was simply so moved watching / taking part remotely via the live-stream link that I wanted to put those reactions to paper. It's greatly reassuring to know you felt that what I wrote captured the spirit of the service.

So just why is Britain building wastelands of rabbit hutches?
Adam Smith Institute - 1 hour 30 min ago
A complaint in The Guardian about how modern housing estates are nothing but rabbit hutches jammed together:
Matthew Carmona, a professor at University College London, whose team has surveyed new housing schemes across the country as part of a major forthcoming report, says big developers are producing too many estates with serious design flaws. “At present we are just not meeting the basic requirements for civilised living that we should expect in a country like our own,” he said.
Seems an entirely fair complaint to us.
The worst new estates lack nearby amenities such as shops, pubs and cafes. They are unconnected to surrounding areas, with few public transport links. They lack enough green spaces and playgrounds.
Simply dormitories with none of the things that make up actual civilisation. They’re also the smallest new builds in Europe. So, why is this?
The design code for the development, which will eventually see 873 homes built across 32 hectares, specifies distinctive architecture and a high-quality, accessible environment.
We’re sure it does. But why in heck are so many houses being crammed on such a small amount of land? Because the government insists that houses must be crammed onto small areas of land.
That’s around 27 dwellings per hectare there. Until recently at least the national insistence was 30 or more dwellings per hectare.
Why is new British housing nothing but rabbit hutch dormitories in civilisational wastelands? Because that’s what government insists is built. And it’s worth noting that not one single person who legislates upon, designs nor builds these horrors ever actually lives in one. They’re always for people other than those doing the insisting.
The reason modern British housing is crap is because that’s what government insists is built, crap. The solution to this is to change the insistence at least, if not the government. Rather than who is doing the building within those rules.
Hearing date set for Bishop Love

A Message From Bishop Love Regarding the Upcoming Hearing
To the Clergy and People of the Diocese of Albany,
Several of you have been asking about the status of the Title IV Disciplinary proceedings directed against me in regard to B012. I have been notified that a Hearing, headed by The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely, (President of the Hearing Panel) is scheduled to be held at the Desmond Hotel in Albany on Tuesday, April 21, 2020. The subject of the Hearing is “The Matter of Allegations Concerning the Rt. Rev. William H. Love, Bishop of Albany.”
It is alleged by the Intake Report and Investigator’s Report that I have “violated Canon IV.4.1(c) by failing to abide by the promises and vows made when he [I] was ordained, specifically the Declaration he [I] signed at his [my] ordination as bishop in which he [I] promised to ‘conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of The Episcopal Church.’ ”
The above charge is the result of my unwillingness to abide by Resolution B012, passed by the 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which if followed, would allow for same-sex marriages to occur in the Diocese of Albany.
The Hearing Panel convened for this case is made up of the following five individuals:
· The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely, Convener
· The Rt. Rev. Herman Hollerith
· The Rt. Rev. Jennifer Brooke-Davidson
· The Rev. Erik Larsen
· Ms. Melissa Perrin
In accordance with the Canons, the Hearing is “open” to the public however, under the control and direction of the Hearing Panel. Space will be limited. While the exact starting time has not yet been released, I anticipate it will begin by mid-morning and will most likely take only a few hours. Both sides have agreed that there are no contested facts regarding my actions and neither side will be presenting witnesses. Instead, the attorneys will be making arguments as to what the canon law requires.
I want to thank all of you who have been holding me and my family and the Diocese of Albany up in your prayers these past many months. It is greatly appreciated. Whatever the outcome of the Hearing, I pray God’s will and purpose will be accomplished.
Faithfully Yours in Christ,
The Rt. Rev. William H. Love
Bishop of Albany

When Tattoos Talk
“This part of town had their crazy pastors too, but they mainly operated out of storefronts with names like Knee Deep in Glory Gospel Center. And some of their pastors had tattoos, but these were just tattoos that said, ‘I was in the Navy once, before I met Jesus,’ instead of the uptown ecclesiastical version that said, ‘I am desperate to accessorize my iPad.”

Boko Haram execute Christian pastor held captive
Boko Haram has announced that it has killed Pastor Lawan Andimi, a leading Church figure, kidnapped in north-east Nigeria by the Islamist terrorist group on 2 January.
A video announcing the pastor’s execution, which took place on 20 January, was released today by Boko Haram via its regular journalist contact, Ahmad Salkida. It is not known how Pastor Andimi, who leaves behind a wife and seven children, was killed.
In his final message to his family and colleagues, Pastor Lawan Andimi urged them not to cry or worry about him but to “thank God for everything”
Pastor Andimi, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), was abducted in Adamawa State during a series of Boko Haram attacks in the region.
In a video released by his captors on 5 January, the pastor had called on senior CAN colleagues to ask the State governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, to intercede for his release. It is thought that the church was involved in negotiations with the captors when Pastor Andimi was killed.
In his poignant statement, Pastor Andimi had told his family and colleagues not to cry or worry about him but to “thank God for everything”.
“I have never been discouraged because all conditions that one finds himself is in the hands of God. By the grace of God, I will be together with my wife, my children and my colleagues. If the opportunity has not been granted, maybe it is the will of God,” he said.
A regional analyst in contact with Barnabas has warned that there are indications that Boko Haram is extending its territory in north-east Nigeria. At least four murderous Islamist attacks have taken place in the region in less than a month, including the beheading of ten Christian men and shooting of an eleventh by Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP). The past year has also seen a significant increase in Boko Haram activity in neighbouring Far North Cameroon. The expert raised concerns that the group may be progressively combining forces with other terrorist militia including ISWAP, Fulani herdsmen and Al Shabaab.

A Christian conservative reflection on the anti-woke rebellion
Anti-woke rebels such as the comedian Ricky Gervais, the actor and musician Laurence Fox, and the writer Douglas Murray may be a breath of fresh air in a stultifying neo-Stalinist atmosphere but social conservatives inspired by Christianity surely ought to be clear in their minds that our enemy’s enemy is not necessarily our friend.
The new anti-wokeists object to the authoritarianism and hypocrisy of the socially Marxist establishment in Hollywood, in the BBC, and in Silicon Valley as we do and they are doing so with wit and eloquence. There is much that social conservatives can applaud in this mounting rebellion. Social conservatives should be opposing woke-ist thought policing, brain-washing and social engineering.
But we are not libertarians. Our outlook has been shaped by the Book of Common Prayer. We want to belong to a nation that is being ‘godly and quietly governed’ under a Christian constitutional monarch. Led by the Prayer Book, we pray in the name of Christ that Almighty God would ‘grant unto her (the Queen’s) whole Council, and to all who are put in authority under her, that they may truly and indifferently (impartially) minister justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice and to the maintenance of thy true religion and virtue’.
Because their primary objection to woke-ism would seem to be its authoritarianism, we do not seem to hear much about law and order from the anti-wokeists. Their main objection to woke-ism would seem to be summed up in Laurence Fox’s song The Distance.
‘They have put something in the water/They seek a cure for the conversation/They stole a march on your indecision/And the first to fall is laughter/Just to quell the long offended/They seek to murder your opinion.’
I think I can say ‘Amen’ here even if I may not be inclined to sing along for musical reasons (in case my tuneless tones were overheard by the neighbours). But there would seem to be a verse missing in an anti-wokeist hymn like this. The practical reality is that fear-spreading lawlessness is a massive impediment to liberty. When knife-murderers strut the streets of London and other major British cities with their heads held high, surely such gangsters are in their own way dictators? Woke is surely not the only threat to liberty.
‘Conservative’ political leaders may now be waking up to the growing anti-woke public feeling and we may see them being bolder in speaking out against identity politics and the delusion that ‘racism’ is widespread in British society. But unless and until Her Majesty’s Government is prepared to pass legislation that would require a judge to pronounce the sentence of death on, for example, a young man who has been found being guilty by a jury of his peers of committing murder with a knife, even if he was only a day over 18 when he did it, her ministers show themselves to be moral relativists who do not really believe in the clear demarcation between right and wrong, which is required for true liberty to flourish.
So, even at the risk of being labelled ‘boring’ by the cool new anti-wokeists, Christian-based social conservatives should be clearly different from libertarians if we are to do any good for our country.

Abstract: Austrian economists hold that money matters a great deal in concrete terms in the immediate short run and has permanent long-run effects. Sierońs book investigates the Cantillon effect, which indicates that money is not neutral because inevitabily it is injected unevenly, creating economic distortions. These distortions are important to the long run and the Austrian theory of the business cycle.
inflation interest rate central bank money neutrality cantillon
Economists agree that money matters, but that agreement stops when it comes to how money matters. For example, some say it only matters in the short run while others believe that it matters in the short and long run. Austrian economists hold that money matters a great deal in concrete terms in the immediate short run and has permanent long run effects.
Given that the world economy has experienced more than a decade of radical and unproven monetary policy by central banks and half a century of fiat currencies, the effects of money are more important than ever. Professor Sieroń has produced a comprehensive review of this question and has extended the analysis of this key question in many different directions.
The central topic of the book is the Cantillon effect which appears in the title of all but one chapter. This effect was named after Richard Cantillon, the first economic theorist. He wrote, circa 1730, that the effect of new money depended on where it was injected into the economy.
Chapter one deals with the neutrality of money, where money has no effect on the economy. Five types of money neutrality are described and examined. The assumptions made for each are explained, and in particular, all the conditions that must exist for “dynamic neutrality” are explained. The reader will no doubt come the conclusion that money is never neutral and that it could be dangerous to make such an assumption as part of one’s economic analysis.
In Chapter two, the theory of the Cantillon effect is explained. It begins with an increase in the money supply and who first receives the money. That means the increase of money changes income distribution in favor of who first receives the new money. Then, depending on the preferences of those who first receive the money, some goods will experience an increase in demand, while other goods will experience a relative decrease. This in turn changes outputs of various goods and ultimately investments. Cantillon famously noted that if the new money comes into the hands of savers, that the interest rate would decrease, but if it comes into the hands of consumers, the interest rate would increase, as entrepreneurs would need to borrow more to meet the increased demand for goods.
Chapter three recaps the Cantillon effect in the history of economic thought. Beginning with Cantillon himself, the views of David Hume, John Cairnes, and other Classical economists are examined. Then Irving Fisher, John Maynard Keynes, New Keynesians, Post Keynesians and other modern schools of macroeconomics are considered, including the Austrian school, along with a special emphasis on Milton Friedman’s approach. In general, non-Austrians tend to think that Cantillon effects exist only in the short run and the effects can be generally assumed away, whereas the Austrian economists incorporate them as central to their analysis and show that the effects are important even in the very long run.
Chapter four provides a complete classification of the various types of Cantillon effects. Cantillon’s own analysis is presented and then extended to the modern context. Chapter five examines the Cantillon effect in the modern context of credit expansion. In chapter six, the various types of credit expansion are examined to explain the secondary characteristics of a business cycle. So, for example, if the expansion is mainly in the area of home mortgage credit, then a housing bubble results. In the next chapter, price bubbles in certain asset prices are shown to be proof par excellence of the Cantillon effect to which Austrian economists are alert, but which mainstream economists ignore, except perhaps in the positive light of the so-called wealth effect.
The next two chapters explore two of the more controversial topics, from the mainstream perspective. The first, chapter eight, analyzes the impact of new money on income and wealth. It is shown here that there are winners and losers from new money. For example, the Fed’s monetary expansions tend to help the wealthy, banks, big corporations, and the financial industry more generally. Subsequently, as prices rise, the Fed’s policy hurts retirees, those on fixed incomes and wage earners who receive the new money last, if at all. This is one reason why the Fed and most mainstream macroeconomists vigorously deny the existence and importance of Cantillon effects and adopt the assumption of neutral money. Tragically, they often get away with this ruse because the theft cannot be directly seen, except in the final result.
The last substantive chapter, chapter nine, explores the Cantillon effect in the international context. Given globalization, the structure of production is now more integrated than ever, and that is a good thing. However, as a result, new money creation by central bank will have negative international consequences. Under certain circumstances the channels of new money flow can dampen the business cycle and price inflation, but the primary impact is for major central banks, in particular the Fed, to export business cycles, economic crises, and price inflation. Obviously, the Fed would vigorously deny that it is the source of global economic instability, but others have found that this is empirically the case. The book is concisely written and is “insight dense” and is a much-needed contribution to the literature.
The Limits of Economic Calculation
[This article is excerpted from chapter 12 of Human Action]
Economic calculation cannot comprehend things which are not sold and bought against money.
There are things which are not for sale and for whose acquisition sacrifices other than money and money's worth must be expended. He who wants to train himself for great achievements must employ many means, some of which may require expenditure of money. But the essential things to be devoted to such an endeavor are not purchasable. Honor, virtue, glory, and likewise vigor, health, and life itself play a role in action both as means and as ends, but they do not enter into economic calculation.
There are things which cannot at all be evaluated in money, and there are other things which can be appraised in money only with regard to a fraction of the value assigned to them. The appraisal of an old building must disregard its artistic and historical eminence as far as these qualities are not a source of proceeds in money or goods vendible. What touches a man's heart only and does not induce other people to make sacrifices for its attainment remains outside the pale of economic calculation.
However, all this does not in the least impair the usefulness of economic calculation. Those things which do not enter into the items of accountancy and calculation are either ends or goods of the first order. No calculation is required to acknowledge them fully and to make due allowance for them. All that acting man needs in order to make his choice is to contrast them with the total amount of costs their acquisition or preservation requires. Let us assume that a town council has to decide between two water supply projects. One of them implies the demolition of a historical landmark, while the other at the cost of an increase in money expenditure spares this landmark. The fact that the feelings which recommend the conservation of the monument cannot be estimated in a sum of money does not in any way impede the councilmen's decision. The values that are not reflected in any monetary exchange ratio are, on the contrary, by this very fact lifted into a particular position which makes the decision rather easier. No complaint is less justified than the lamentation that the computation methods of the market do not comprehend things not vendible. Moral and aesthetic values do not suffer any damage on account of this fact.
Money, money prices, market transactions, and economic calculation based upon them are the main targets of criticism. Loquacious sermonizers disparage Western civilization as a mean system of mongering and peddling. Complacency, self-righteousness, and hypocrisy exult in scorning the "dollar-philosophy" of our age. Neurotic reformers, mentally unbalanced literati, and ambitious demagogues take pleasure in indicting "rationality" and in preaching the gospel of the "irrational." In the eyes of these babblers money and calculation are the source of the most serious evils. However, the fact that men have developed a method of ascertaining as far as possible the expediency of their actions and of removing uneasiness in the most practical and economic way does not prevent anybody from arranging his conduct according to the principle he considers to be right. The "materialism" of the stock exchange and of business accountancy does not hinder anybody from living up to the standards of Thomas à Kempis or from dying for a noble cause. The fact that the masses prefer detective stories to poetry, and that it therefore pays better to write the former than the latter, is not caused by the use of money and monetary accounting. It is not the fault of money that there are gangsters, thieves, murderers, prostitutes, corruptible officials, and judges. It is not true that honesty does not "pay." It pays for those who prefer fidelity to what they consider to be right to the advantages which they could derive from a different attitude.
Other critics of economic calculation fail to realize that it is a method available only to people acting in the economic system of the division of labor in a social order based upon private ownership of the means of production. It can only serve the considerations of individuals or groups of individuals operating in the institutional setting of this social order. It is consequently a calculation of private profits and not of "social welfare." This means that the prices of the market are the ultimate fact for economic calculation. It cannot be applied for considerations whose standard is not the demand of the consumers as manifested on the market but the hypothetical valuations of a dictatorial body managing all national or earthly affairs. He who seeks to judge actions from the point of view of a pretended "social value," i.e., from the point of view of the "whole society," and to criticize them by comparison with the events in an imaginary socialist system in which his own will is supreme, has no use for economic calculation. Economic calculation in terms of money prices is the calculation of entrepreneurs producing for the consumers of a market society. It is of no avail for other tasks.
He who wants to employ economic calculation must not look at affairs in the manner of a despotic mind. Prices can be used for calculation by the entrepreneurs, capitalists, landowners, and wage earners of a capitalist society. For matters beyond the pursuits of these categories it is inadequate. It is nonsensical to evaluate in money objects which are not negotiated on the market and to employ in calculations arbitrary items which do not refer to reality. The law determines the amount which ought to be paid as indemnification for having caused a man's death. But the statute enacted for the determination of the amends due does not mean that there is a price for human life. Where there is slavery, there are market prices of slaves. Where there is no slavery man, human life, and health are res extra commercium. In a society of free men the preservation of life and health are ends, not means. They do not enter into any process of accounting means.
It is possible to determine in terms of money prices the sum of the income or the wealth of a number of people. But it is nonsensical to reckon national income or national wealth. As soon as we embark upon considerations foreign to the reasoning of a man operating within the pale of a market society, we are no longer helped by monetary calculation methods. The attempts to determine in money the wealth of a nation or of the whole of mankind are as childish as the mystic efforts to solve the riddles of the universe by worrying about the dimensions of the pyramid of Cheops. If a business calculation values a supply of potatoes at $100, the idea is that it will be possible to sell it or to replace it against this sum. If a whole entrepreneurial unit is estimated $1,000,000, it means that one expects to sell it for this amount. But what is the meaning of the items in a statement of a nation's total wealth? What is the meaning of the computation's final result? What must be entered into it and what is to be left outside? Is it correct or not to enclose the "value" of the country's climate and the people's innate abilities and acquired skill? The businessman can convert his property into money, but a nation cannot.
The money equivalents as used in acting and in economic calculation are money prices, i.e., exchange ratios between money and other goods and services. The prices are not measured in money; they consist in money. Prices are either prices of the past or expected prices of the future. A price is necessarily a historical fact either of the past or of the future. There is nothing in prices which permits one to li]ken them to the measurement of physical and chemical phenomena.

Fed Nominee Judy Shelton Wants Sound Money — and Lots of It
There is good news and bad news regarding President Trump's nomination of Judy Shelton for one of the two vacant positions on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The good news is that Ms. Shelton is not a technically trained academic economist, indoctrinated in the prevailing orthodoxy. She holds a doctorate in business administration from the University of Utah and has spent most of her career in the world of free-market policy think tanks, including stints at the Hoover Institute and the Atlas Network. She also writes refreshingly and articulately in favor of the gold standard, or some version of it.
The bad news is that she leans heavily toward supply-side economics, which is deeply flawed on monetary policy. Like most supply-siders, the position she advocates may be summed up in the motto, “I favor sound money—and plenty of it.”
This contradictory position was clearly evident in her Wall Street Journal op-ed, The Case for Monetary Regime Change . In this piece Shelton attributes blame for “the devastating 2008 global meltdown” to the Fed’s “influence over the creation of money and credit.” She then goes on to criticize the Fed’s policy of paying interest on excess reserves for slowing down the economic recovery from the post-crisis depression. Her argument is that paying interest on excess reserves discouraged the banking system from fully lending out the enormous amount of reserves that gushed forth into the system through the Fed’s QE programs. While this is true, the Fed’s policy was still very expansionary. If we examine the data in the chart below, we see that the from mid-2011 to 2017, the year-over-year (YOY) growth rates of the money supply as measured by the Fed aggregates of M2 and MZM varied between 5% and 10%. These slightly exceeded the monetary growth rates recorded during the run-up of the housing bubble from the beginning of 2002 through 2005, which culminated in the “devastating global meltdown” that Shelton bemoaned a few sentences earlier. Thus, Shelton considers the same rates of monetary growth inflationary in the earlier period but contractionary in the later period. She seems to have picked up this peculiar argument from the Cato Institute's George Selgin, which I criticized a few years ago.
Shelton also reveals the flaws in her supply-side position when she argues that a gold standard and a Bretton Woods-like regime, by “linking the supply of money and credit to gold,” would both be effective in “redress[ing] inflationary pressures.” Shelton’s position here shows a lack of theoretical and historical awareness of the vast differences between the classical gold standard and the Bretton Woods System in their nature and operation. The former was a genuine gold standard in which gold coins were in circulation and all bank notes and deposits were instantaneously redeemable in gold. The Bretton Woods System on the other hand was a form of “price-rule monetarism,” in which the Fed followed a rule to target a legally mandated price of gold by buying and selling gold, foreign currencies, or domestic securities. There was no gold in circulation as a medium of exchange and the convertibility of dollars into gold was restricted to foreign governments and other official institutions.
The historical Bretton Woods system had inherent flaws that led to its slow motion inflationary collapse in the late 1960s and its disappearance in 1971. This did not stop supply-siders, including Shelton, in her 1994 book Monetary Meltdown , for penning proposals for an updated version of Bretton Woods. This article contains my critique of an earlier supply-side proposal for a monetary system based on a gold price rule.
Overall, I consider Judy Shelton among the best politically palatable (at least to Republicans) candidates for Federal Reserve Board of Governors. But, unfortunately, this is weak praise, given that the very existence and function of the Fed is a destructive influence on the U.S. and global economy.
People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent
New York: W.W. Norton, 2019
xxvii + 371 pp.
Abstract: Randall Holcombe's new book adds a historical dimension to public choice theory by combining it with "elite theory." In doing this, he arrives at a controversial thesis: a new economic system, "political capitalism," has come to replace market capitalism. Holcombe extends the public choice analysis of government of Buchanan and Tullock, who challenged the standard neoclassical contention that the free market cannot adequately supply public goods and therefore needed to be supplemented by state intervention.
economic freedom progressivism constitution public choice capitalism
Joseph Stiglitz is an eminent economist, but it is evident from People, Power, and Profits that he is a moralist as well, and one of a peculiar sort. Early in the book, he says this:
…to answer such questions [about what to do] I have to explain the true source of wealth, distinguishing wealth creation from wealth extraction. The latter is any process whereby one individual takes wealth from others through one form of exploitation or another. The true source of “the wealth of a nation” lies... in the creativity and productivity of the nation’s people and their productive interactions with each other... it rests on... institutions broadly referred to as ‘the rule of law, systems of checks and balance, and due process.” (pp. xiii–xiv)
One might have been reading Franz Oppenheimer or Albert Jay Nock on the distinction between the political and the economic means. Stiglitz does spoil things a little when he says later on that “the real politik of the twenty-first century” is that those who seek to preserve the “values I articulate” will have to persuade others to follow the policies he suggests. Since realpolitik (one word, not two) means politics based on interests rather than ideology, this is confusing. It seems a forgivable slip, though, given Stiglitz’s seeming endorsement of a distinction basic to libertarian thought.1
In fact, though, Stiglitz means close to the opposite of what libertarians have in mind by the distinction between production and predation. For him, it is greedy capitalists and other private rent-seekers who exploit the people, and the state that maintains values.
Why does he think this? As he sees matters, equality is of fundamental importance: “The American dream of equality of opportunity is a myth: a young American’s life prospects are more dependent on the income and education of his parents than in almost any other advanced country. I tell my students that they have one crucial decision to make in life: choosing the right parent. If they get it wrong, their prospects may be bleak.” (p. 44) To clarify Stiglitz’s point, his objection is not just to the fact that some people have poor prospects, but also to the fact that some people have vastly more income and wealth than others.
How does inequality come about, if, as he says, equality of opportunity is a shared American value? The very well off, in his view, have written the rules in their favor. The government has become their tool. If he is correct, the solution seems obvious. Do we not need to curtail the power of the government? To anticipate an objection, I do not endorse Stiglitz’s commitment to equality. But if you do want equality, and you think that the rich control the government, limits on the state seem required.
Stiglitz is well aware of this contention. He says: “But here’s the rub: the powers that enable government to improve social well-being can be used by some groups or individuals within society to advance their interests at the expense of others. This is sometimes termed ‘government failure,’ in contrast to market failure.” (p. 149) This of course is the familiar contention of the public choice school, ably defended by Randall Holcombe in his excellent Political Capitalism (2019)2 The problem with attempts to compare market failure with government failure, Stiglitz thinks, is that only market fundamentalists believe that the market can operate without strong government control. “My study of economics had taught me that the ideology of many conservatives was wrong; their almost religious belief in the power of markets—so great that we could largely rely on unfettered markets for running the economy—had no basis in theory or evidence.” (p. xii). Elsewhere, he writes of a “libertarian dream.” (p. 139)
If we persist and ask why Stiglitz is so convinced of the need for a strong government hand in the economy, we confront a paradox. Stiglitz is best known as an economist for his work on the limitations of the neoclassical model of competitive equilibrium. Concerning the model, he says, “It is not robust—slight changes in assumptions... lead to large changes in results....” (p. 280, note 1) Yet he judges the free market inadequate because it fails to conform to the requirements of this model.
For example, he holds that the growth of knowledge, infrastructure, and even charitable help to the poor are “public goods” that the market cannot on its own produce efficiently according to the criterion used in this model. “This can be put another way: everyone wants to be a free-rider on the efforts of others. They can enjoy the benefits of the public goods provided by others without bearing the cost.” (p. 322, note 4) Much of his assault on the “market power” of monopolies rests on judging them by the standards of a perfect competition model in equilibrium. Prices charged by entrepreneurs that do not quickly revert to the prices that would be set in this model he deems exploitative.
Stiglitz professes great concern for the potential of the poor, but in fact he thinks that most people are irrational and require control by enlightened experts like him. In reviewing a proposal that people should be deemed owners of their personal data but should be able to consent to allowing internet companies to use the data, he says:
Some say, let it be. The individual is freely deciding whether to let others have his data. But there many areas where we as a society decide to interfere in individuals’ unfettered decisions. There are other settings where we forbid individuals to engage in behavior that harms only themselves, such as participating in pyramid schemes or selling organs.... Individuals don’t really appreciate what is or could be done with their data....” (p. 129)
In another instance, he says: “Firms can also pry wealth from others by taking advantage of their weaknesses—for instance, enticing them to gamble away their wealth or persuading them to borrow at usurious interest rates.” (p. 281, note 9)
Because people are so easily deceived by the false information they see on social media, the government needs to guide them to the truth. “We can also attempt to create more discerning consumers of information. Some countries, like Italy, are extending public media education (including about social media), making individuals more aware of assertions that are blatantly false.” (p. 133. On p. 321, note 34, he fears that such programs will have only “limited efficacy.”)
A substantial number of Stiglitz’s complaints against the market are in fact instances of “political capitalism.” For example, in a passage that will interest supporters of the Austrian theory of the business cycle, he says: “We evolved into a system of what is called fractional reserve banking, where the amount that banks hold in reserves is just a fraction of what they owe... bankers made a pretty penny lending out money... they could create loans essentially out of thin air... when they fail, taxpayers foot the bill.” (p. 111) Why is this a case of market failure? Again, if the government bails out a bank or investment firm that is deemed “too big to fail,” this is quintessential political capitalism.
Even if Stiglitz is right that the free market is flawed, though, would he still not need to confront the public choice point? Would not the failures of the market, such as they are, have to be balanced against the failures of the government? Stiglitz does not think so. Talk of “regulatory capture” and the like is misplaced. A dedicated group of experts devoted to public service will act impartially to secure the public good.
Designing a good, efficient regulatory system is difficult, but we’ve done a remarkably good job of combining expertise with checks and balances. We want to avoid politicization of the regulatory process as far as possible... This doesn’t mean that every rule is ideal... But all human institutions are fallible. We’ve done a creditable job of creating a framework that works. (pp. 145–46)
Sometimes, Stiglitz’s bias is comical in its intensity. Thus, he mocks those in the Reagan era who said that “firms should pursue their shareholder interest,” not aim at social responsibility. (p. 112) He tells us that “Milton Friedman the high priest of the Chicago School... was asserting these positions.” (pp. 314–15, note 22). Yet later on, he says,
There is no individual abridgment of rights when we restrict corporate contributions [to political campaigns] indeed, one might argue the reverse, I buy a stock on the basis of my judgment of the corporation’s economic prospects. It weakens the economy to have to conflate those judgments with whether I agree with the CEO’s political judgments. (pp. 169–70)
He excoriates President Trump for his attacks on the judiciary: [T]aking a page from the playbook of despots everywhere... he attacked the courts themselves, undermining confidence in the judiciary and its role as a fair arbiter….” (p. 165) Immediately after saying this, Stiglitz attacks judges appointed by Republicans for their partisan decisions and for “the appointment of a grossly unqualified judge, Clarence Thomas.” (p. 165). It is wrong to impugn the integrity of the Court—except, of course, when I do it.
Proposals to “pack” the Court by increasing the number of judges
could lead to a further weakening of America’s democratic institutions: each side would be tempted to add further judges to the Court when they could to ensure control of the Court—until the opposing party took power. The Court is already seen to too great an extent as merely another partisan weapon; this act might confirm the perception. (p..167)
Far better would be a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on the justices. Until such an amendment is passed, “the number of positions in the Court should be increased.” (p. 167)
Stiglitz perfectly illustrates a famous remark by Joseph Schumpeter: “Capitalism stands its trial before judges who have the sentence of death in their pockets. They are going to pass it, whatever the defense they may hear; the only success victorious defense can possibly produce is a change in the indictment.”
1. After all, “as Shakespeare put it, ‘to err is human.’” (p. 263, note 20) It was actually Alexander Pope who said that, but never mind: to err is human. (Pope wrote “humane,” a standard spelling for “human” in the eighteenth century.)
2. See my review in this issue, pp. 492-497.
Reading Per Bylund's interview "How Entrepreneurs Build the World" inspired a thought: what would the world be like without entrepreneurs? Given that entrepreneurs are central to the market system, a world without entrepreneurs—or with only a few of them—would be a grim situation. Without entrepreneurs, we'd see few new products, little innovation, and few gains in the standard of living.
And without entrepreneurs, we would still be using archaic technology and services. The consumer would have no expectation of regularly find new and improved products available to him. Innovation might exist in a scientific sense, but the benefits would not be reaped in the marketplace, because no entrepreneurs would seek to find a way to make scientific innovations profitable.
Consider how our world was built by entrepreneurs. Most of what we purchase and use daily started in the minds of entrepreneurs, with their energy and capital. They thought of consumers' needs and wants, and brought products into existence with continually more reasonable and affordable prices, making these products available to almost all people.
Let's look at a few specific examples.
Toothpaste, floss, and toothbrushes were invented by William Colgate; the elevator was brought to us by Elisha Otis; and the printing press was accelerated by Richard March Hoe, who invented the rotary printing press. The laptop or smartphone you are using to read this article was made available by a host of entrepreneurs acting to provide you with this capability. That morning brew you drink was put into conveniently located shops and easy-to-use cups by entrepreneurs who used their capital and produced and delivered coffee beans to you—from bean to cup. All of this was done in the pursuit of profit.
The list goes on as to the benefits entrepreneurs have brought us and the progress they have made in the lives of the average person who enjoys these conveniences spun out by the market process, competition, and ingenuity. Without entrepreneurs, only the most minimal needs would be fulfilled in the marketplace. The consumer would rarely have a voice—that is, no vote in what products are brought to market. If it were not for entrepreneurs' insistence in meeting consumer demands and expectations, we would still be using rotary phones!
Additionally, it is unlikely companies would exist in such vast numbers to serve customers. After all, firms exist to allow entrepreneurs to harness the potential of innovations and turn it into profit. Moreover, entrepreneurial firms help accelerate innovation. In Inventing the Electronic Century, Alfred Chandler explained how technology-focused industries started as entrepreneurial spin-offs directed toward expanding innovation even further:
Those earlier industries were based on a number of basic technological innovations: the electricity-producing dynamo, which brought the electric lighting that transformed urban life, and electric power, which so transformed industrial production techniques; the telephone, which brought the first voice transmission over distances; the internal combustion engine, which produced the automobile and the airplane; the new chemical technologies that permitted the production of man-made dyes and, of more significance, a wide range of man-made therapeutic drugs, and other man-made materials ranging from silicon and aluminum to a wide variety of plastics.1
As Chandler explained, the consumer electronics market would not have started ex nihilo—without entrepreneurial-minded people within the firms or consumers demanding new and innovative products.
Market feedback from consumers enables firms to produce the products consumers demand, and entrepreneurs attempt to use these firms to learn from the marketplace. This is a central process to expanding the market for goods and services since, as Hayek so famously stated, "The market process is discovery through trial and error."
Yet, it is amazing how this critical function of the market is taken for granted: without it, there would be few inventions or innovations—and even less market competition.
And, of course, entrepreneurs provide benefits to groups other than consumers. Consider the role of an employer—the one who provides employment to those wanting to earn a livelihood. Commerce and e-commerce would break down along with the division of labor, ultimately resulting in a decline in related industries and markets. When the marketplace is allowed to function freely, more entrepreneurship today leads to more tomorrow. And the consumers benefit.
For example, if the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P) had not started the supermarket revolution of its day, many of the products and services consumers now expect as a part of the grocery shopping experience might not exist: no home delivery, self-checkout, coupons, a wide variety of foodstuffs, one-stop shopping. Expansion in these areas has led to new opportunities for both workers and other entrepreneurs.
We can see similar benefits across an enormous number of new industries. The products, services, and innovations that exist have not magically appeared. They have been the result of decades—if not centuries—of entrepreneurial action that has built on itself and expanded choices in consumption, employment, and investment—year in and year out.
1. Alfred Chandler provided a number of examples of how companies pursued innovation and used entrepreneurial decision-making to gain market share. Chandler explained that the learning path is what firms use to innovate for future gains; if they stop learning or discontinue learning paths, they are no longer competitive.

Don't let TfL drive Uber out of the market
Adam Smith Institute - Tue, 21/01/2020 - 16:45
It has been two years since TfL first rejected Uber’s license renewal and they still seem to be reaching the wrong decision. They have continually failed to value Uber’s popularity. Uber has 3.5 million regular users in London alone and yet TfL wants to deny Londoners the service. Backlash against Uber is not exclusive to the UK.
Today marks the anniversary of Madrid’s taxi strike. Much like in the UK, Spain’s black cab equivalent has been hostile to its biggest competitor Uber. The strike has left a black mark on the reputation of Madrid’s taxis. The standoff lasted sixteen days last year and saw taxi drivers blocking roads. But this anti-competition protest wasn’t enough to persuade people to use Madrid’s taxis. It lost them what little reputation they had left as not only did they provide an inferior service, they also actively intimidate and disrupt alternatives.
Madrid’s taxis’ refusal to embrace competition saw them suffer. Ultimately, they were forced to accept innovation and many of them have now paired with ride hailing apps such as Pidetaxi and Tele Taxi. London’s black cabs should learn from their European counterparts that resisting competition will do them no good. In the long run, it simply isn’t viable to deny consumers what they want and consumers want Uber.
Despite criticism over its safety, Uber remains popular among many adults, including parents wanting to ensure their children get home safely (with the added benefit of not having to leave their home to do so). Part of this success stems from the ability to track rides. Parents are able to see their kids in real time. They also know the license plate of the car beforehand. Uber also enables parents to pay for their kids and know they can get home at any time, no matter what the cost and that their kids won’t spend the money on other things. While Uber may not be entirely safe, it is certainly on a par with black cabs. Uber drivers must pass a DBS check and get a TfL private hire license.
There have been concerns over Uber’s safety as unauthorised drivers were able to upload their photos to the accounts of authorised drivers on some 14,000 journeys, however, this is not just cause to ban the app entirely. The overwhelming majority of journeys are conducted by authorised drivers with authorised profiles. Uber can introduce safety measures such as requiring photos to be taken at Uber’s office and then uploaded by Uber itself or random spot checks. Safety concerns are not, however, limited to private hire vehicles. Those who criticise Uber in favour of black cabs seem quick to forget cases such as the black cab rapist, John Worboys.
Another reason for Uber’s success is that it’s easy to use the app. Uber is hassle free as they can be booked in advance, the driver knows the exact destination and removes the need for passengers to speak to the drivers. The last factor makes it desirable with tourists as it removes the issue of a language barrier.
Uber has honed its service thanks to competition, such as Cabify. If Uber didn’t provide a service that people wanted, it would have failed a long time ago. Rather than changing to meet the demands of the customer, black cabs have attempted to deny the customer of a service that will satisfy them.
Uber doesn’t just make customers happy but also its employees. Uber enables 45,000 licenced drivers in London to work flexible hours that suit them. According to a 2018 report from the University of Oxford they earn above the London living wage. Banning Uber will harm these drivers and disproportionately affect minorities: 80% of black cab drivers are white compared to 26% of private hire drivers. In the States, drivers with Gold, Platinum or Diamond status on Uber’s reward system for drivers (i.e. frequent drivers) are rewarded with full tuition coverage at Arizona State University Online for them or a family member. Uber is planning on introducing this UK version of this scheme with the Open University.
TfL has denied Uber the renewal of its license over concerns over safety but left Londoners with an alternative that offers a service many customers don’t want. Any system is fallible and susceptible to be misused. Replacing Uber with black cabs leaves Londoners no more protected. The solution to problems with the market for taxis is not eradicating competition. It is introducing more of it.
Paul Tenney’s Global Entrepreneurial Journey Leads to Database Technology Success in Asia
Storytelling can be a powerful aid to effective business strategy. A good story can identify both a destination and a path to get there, and unite people on a shared journey. That’s why we like to use the Economics For Entrepreneurs podcast to tell journey stories from time to time: to illustrate and inspire.
This week’s guest, Paul Tenney, tells us a particularly illustrative journey story, since it combines an entrepreneurial career of achievement and purposeful geographic mobility.
Key Takeaways And Actionable Insights
First, pick a promising industry with a potential for long term growth.
In the 2000’s, Paul identified database marketing technology as a growth industry, with expansive future promise but current low maturity (“e-mail spammers” were disdained at cocktail parties).
Learn and build a track record working for a growth company in the growth industry.
Paul rapidly accumulated executive experience, since growth demands that all employees step up to new responsibilities.
Develop your customer focus.
A fundamental lesson of Austrian Economics is that understanding customers and their needs always comes first in business building. This is especially true in emerging business technology. It’s easy to become focused on “product” (the technology) and lose sight of the customer, who may not understand the tech but view it as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. Paul focused on customer success activities, which revealed customer problems to be solved, and taught him the primacy of customer care in building business relationships.
Accelerate your accumulation of experience.
Experience becomes knowledge and knowledge becomes a personal competitive advantage. A growth business can provide accelerated knowledge-expanding opportunities. In Paul’s case, the opportunity came via an international posting, opening new customer vistas and revealing new customer requirements from the same technology.
Identify a partnering route to launch your business.
Your goal is to establish an independent business to run. The challenge of the transition from employment to entrepreneurship can be modified in a number of ways. One is to find a partnership that can both bear some uncertainty for you, and provide you with a strategic resource advantage. Paul partnered with the company that had previously employed him to provide technology, so that he did not have to build it from scratch. He developed his own customer base using this technology.
Establish an initial value proposition.
The technology partnership supported a strong customer value proposition in Paul’s local geography: experience the benefits of world-class big company tech, with customized / localized service, and the low unit economics that come with the partner’s scale.
Then, take the Customer Success route to deeper understanding of market needs.
Paul had learned how a well-developed Customer Success capability could generate insightful customer problem statements. These represent unmet needs for which Paul’s new company could develop new and unique local solutions.
Gain higher ground with an advanced business proposition.
Paul was able to establish new high levels of customized local service (e.g. language) while maintaining the global list price for technology. Insights gleaned over time led to the realization that simplifying the technology proposition — for example, by reducing the complexity caused by hyper-personalization of e-mail marketing to end-consumers, and focusing on the binary question of whether or not e-mails generated sales — resulted in a better customer value experience.
This focus also resulted in new-to-the-world services (such as the “fatigue curve” and “rehabilitation rate”), further elevating the value proposition.
Paul shared a lot more of his experience: about raising capital, about value theory, about the role of resilience in the entrepreneurial journey, and about the customer success of de-complexifying technology. Don’t miss his inspiring journey.

The Origin of the Prolonged Economic Stagnation in Contemporary Japan: The Factitious Deflation and Meltdown of the Japanese Firm as an Entity
by Masayuki Otaki
Oxfordshire, UK: Routledge, 2016
Abstract: While Otaki has seen what the Japanese economic disease is, he has failed to understand what fundamentally causes it. Somehow, Otaki attributes the Japanese troubles to a failure to follow the teachings of John Maynard Keynes. A Japanese economy on the gold standard would be insulated from the endless boom-and-bust cycle of the Keynesian shell game. There would have been no bubble, no collapse, and no lost decades. But Otaki does not see this, and clings to a sincere belief that Keynesianism is the cure for what ails Japan.

Economics writing has a reputation for stolidity unto soporiferousness. To be fair, prose that trades in margins, utils, and curves-named-after-other-economists is perhaps a bit difficult to jazz up enough to read like For Whom the Bell Tolls. If one asked the average undergrad to rate his or her econ textbook on spiciness, the response might clock in somewhere between “cell phone contract” and “house dust.”
That may be true, but let no one—and I mean no one—lay the blame for it at the feet of Masayuki Otaki. The Origin of the Prolonged Economic Stagnation in Contemporary Japan: The Factitious Deflation and Meltdown of the Japanese Firm as an Entity (whew!) is, hands down, the most raucous economics volume I have ever read. This is gripping, dramatic stuff, larded with high-flown moralizing about policy and theory that is sure to grab and hold the attention of even the most indifferent reader. In the Preface alone, a mere two pages, Otaki manages to deploy “grievous,” “precarious,” “vicious,” “spurious,” and even “egregious,” a running of the “-ous” adjectives that is perhaps even more thrilling than the running of the Pamplona bulls. I was hooked. Otaki had me at “acute roundabout trespass”; I swooned at “substantively surcharged nominally on account of keeping the Japanese border from the menus of China”; I went all doe-eyed at “fanatic captives in the quantity theory of money”. Who could put this book down? Not I. I read it in one sitting, straight through, anxiously, even rambunctiously, turning pages to find out what would happen next.
So, what happened? Well, to be honest, I’m not exactly sure. Otaki has a gift for making economics read like dispatches from the French and Indian War, but I confess I was a little too thick-headed to penetrate the meaning of some of the more esoteric passages (and there are many). Here are the main points, as near as I can tell. (Otaki very helpfully includes a “concluding remarks” section at the end of each of his seven chapters. Without those, I would have been quite lost.)
- Otaki does not like Japanese prime minister Abe Shinzō or, more specifically, his economic policies, which critics and supporters alike refer to as “Abenomics.”
- One of the main reasons Otaki does not like Abenomics is that he sees it as an extension of “Koizuminomics” (a term that I just made up and which I do not expect to catch on, for obvious reasons). Koizumi Jun’ichirō was the prime minister of Japan from 2001 to 2006, and made it the centerpiece of his administration, at least in the early days, to privatize the financial arm of the Japanese postal service. Unlike the United States, where the post office is responsible mainly for delivering grocery store circulars while racking up billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded deficits and campaigning on the side for Democrats, the Japanese postal service is generally efficient and well-managed. So efficient and well-managed, in fact, that it also has its own bank. (US post offices provided this service, too, until about fifty years ago.) The postal bank remains in a state of semi-privatization almost two decades after Koizumi’s initial attempts at reforms, but it still holds the equivalent of some three trillion dollars US in savings and insurance assets. Otaki argues that the Koizumi brand of “privatization” was really a kind of crony capitalism that Otaki calls “pseudo laissez faire.”
- The Japanese people overall have been sold a bill of goods by the late-postwar pseudo laissez fairers. While early-postwar Japan still took seriously the firm as an entity that allowed for transactions not possible in the broader market (Otaki relies heavily here on Coase and Williamson, and also on the alternative firm theory of Uzawa Hirofumi and Edith Penrose), the advent of neo-liberalism and globalism, and in particular Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in other Asian countries, have combined to drive down wages for the average Japanese worker and hollow out the firm. Also, in the past, many Japanese companies held shares of one another’s stock, which encouraged at least a modicum of regard for the wider social costs of corporate actions, but today the neo-liberal shareholder has taken the place of the worker and the firm as the beneficiary of corporate profits.
- The Japanese stock market (as well as the American stock market) has boomed following the Lehman shock of 2008 because of foreign investors, and has nothing to do with Abenomics except negatively, because investors are looking for something more profitable than the zero or even negative interest rates currently on offer by Japanese banks.
This is the basic scope and outline of the book. There are thus, according to Otaki, major structural problems with the Japanese economy. This much is clear, and even those who have not quite broken the code of Otaki’s highly idiomatic English should have no trouble grasping that he is against crony capitalism (he calls the politically-connected president of Japan Railways Tokai “a pharaoh who decided to build his pyramid”), finds Prime Minister Abe and his “right-wing” ideas “appalling,” and urges an “evacuation from the myopic policy decisions” such as zero-interest rates and the spending debacle of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
One is inclined to agree with much of Otaki’s diagnosis. Surely, the Japanese economy is in bad shape, and surely it should be obvious to everyone but government bankers by this point that more “stimulus” spending has as much chance of “reincarnat[ing]” (to use Otaki’s term) the Japanese economy as a savings account at a Japanese bank has of generating interest. Otaki is right about all that, and I would argue that he is also right (I tend to agree with Uzawa) that one of the secrets to Japanese economic success was its very strong communal culture, which has been largely undermined in an age of crony-capitalist “rigging” (again, Otaki) of the labor market and the economy overall. There are things that firms in Japan have tended to do that have helped to humanize global competition and shield average workers from much of the destruction side of creative destruction. As the firm has changed and as Japanese business practices have been caught up in a political economy faced with major social and geopolitical upheavals, the old ways have faltered and younger workers have noticed that things just aren’t what they used to be. Stimulus doesn’t stimulate because the patient is, for all intents and purposes, already dead. Otaki is largely on the mark in this general assessment.
But here is also precisely where Otaki’s analysis breaks down. For, while he has very nicely seen what the disease is, he has failed, in my view, to understand what fundamentally causes it. In fact, I think he may be very much misinformed. For, while Otaki sees the out-of-control government spending and jerry-rigged “disinflation” and “deflation” as creatures of the “fanatic advocates of the exorbitant expansionary monetary policy [who] are only naïve captives of the quantity theory of money that has been apparently rebutted by the recent experience both in Japan and the United States,” he somehow, in a way that I just cannot figure out, at the same time manages to attribute all of this to a failure to follow the teachings of John Maynard Keynes. “Those who have common sense can hardly deny that the exorbitant expansionary policy fails in recovering the economy,” Otaki swashbuckles in the closing chapter, the excellently titled “We still have time and power.” Bravo! But wait. What’s this? Otaki also seems to think that Keynes, of all people, supplies the antidote to this recklessness. Somehow this all begins to sound like the Atkins Diet.
Alas, Otaki’s devotion to Keynes is apparently real. There’s this passage, for example:
[…] the prominent disinflation in [the] Japanese economy is not a monetary phenomenon caused by the shortage of the quantity of money, but a real phenomenon which comes from the stagnation of the labor productivity progress.
Well, OK, labor and productivity are certainly very important. But the problem arises when Otaki next introduces a kind of ingrown Keynesianism to explain how “price stability” is the answer to stagnation in labor productivity. “In this sense,” Otaki continues,
the concurrent monetary policy by the BOJ [Bank of Japan], which unreasonably aims to promote inflation via perturbing the confidence of money, is quite precarious. Keynes [citing Keynes (2013)] asserts that “[a] policy of price stability is the very opposite of a policy of permanently cheap money.” One of his reasons is that “[m]odern individualistic society, organized on lines of capitalistic industry, cannot support a violently fluctuating standard of value, whether the movement is upwards or downwards. Its arrangements presume and absolutely require a reasonably stable standard.”
Keynes is half right. There must be a “reasonably stable standard” if an economy is not to fly off the rails and spiral out of control, as the Japanese economy did when it overheated at the end of the 1980s and then imploded just as Debbie Gibson was going out of style. The reason that Japan has not found its feet again is precisely because of the failure to find this “reasonably stable standard,” coupled with the handicap of not having the advantage that the American economy has (and which Otaki also mentions) of being able to print the world’s common currency.
But how can Otaki fail to see that the very problems he diagnoses in the Japanese economy are inherent in Keynesianism? For example, this “vicious cycle” which Otaki laments just three pages after citing Keynes could also be read as Keynesianism’s calling card:
The Busted Bubble and the Surge of FDI -> Stagnant Domestic Markets -> [Rising] Unemployment -> [Decreased] Labor Productivity -> Disinflation -> [Reduced] Consumption -> Stagnant Domestic Markets
“We consider that the current Japanese economy is entrapped by the vicious cycle,” Otaki concludes. I concur. But this vicious cycle is the creature of Keynesianism, not something alien to Keynes’s ideas.
An economy must have a “reasonably stable standard” because, as Mises proved in great detail in Human Action, people act for a myriad of reasons and there is really no way to index and organize the totality of their interactions—an economy—without a standard that is infinitely fungible and common to all. The problem with fiat money, such as that printed by the ream by the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve, and other Houses of Keynes around the world, is that it is not money at all, but so many admission tickets to a political con game.
So, of course the Japanese government is rigging the Japanese economy. What did Otaki expect? The Roman emperors debased their own currency (also covered at length in Human Action), and virtually every other sovereign, prime minister, president, and chief of the exchequer who could get away with it has done the same. If someone is OK with being a member of an organization which commits armed robbery from hundreds of millions of bank accounts once every April 15th, then he or she is probably also OK with purloining money in other ways, for example by setting up a monopoly on Gresham’s Law and turning all of a given polity’s money into political scrip. It’s quite a racket. It’s what central banks do. Otaki seems to think that the Bank of Japan will one day wake up and start acting morally and for the good of the country—perhaps in the same way that a python might one day start atoning for his past life by volunteering at the Small Mammals Nursing Home. This chicanery is the essence of Keynesianism, and there is no way to prescribe the doctrine without also administering the “fatal conceit” that goes along with it.
Fortunately, there is a “reasonably stable standard” which has long proven capable of thwarting the designs of evil men “enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government”: gold. Gold is real money. Gold works as money precisely because nobody can make gold but God. (The reason Isaac Newton spent so much time on alchemy experiments was not because he was kooky, but because as the Master of the Royal Mint he spent decades fighting counterfeiters and wanted to be sure that they could not reproduce the coin of the realm.) Government bankers, who have never been known to scruple about any possible differences between themselves and the Deity, elide this one sticking point and end up running a nationwide—even, in the case of the Fed, a worldwide—counterfeiting scheme of their very own, to enormous profits for themselves. But with gold, this is not possible. Governments and their bankers are kept on a gilded leash. The bad that a state would do—and, boy, would it do it if it could—is caged up by an eternally sound currency. Keynesianism is the Houdini act that lets governments wriggle out of this pen and do whatever they please with the people’s cash.
But Otaki is having none of this. He wants Keynesianism both ways. For example, he compares the collapse of the Japanese bubble economy in the early 90s and the subsequent lost decades to the Showa Depression, when the Great Depression in the United States began to affect the Japanese economy in the early 1930s. Otaki attributes the worsening of the Showa Depression to the return to the gold standard, something that Otaki says was “genetically infeasible for Japan judging from the incessant current account deficits adjacent to huge fiscal deficits.” Investors saw the return to gold coming and cashed out, thus triggering an avalanche of defaults and business closings.
[…] the rejoining at the excessively high parity only triggered the tremendous outflow of the fiducial currency. Every subtle speculator foresaw the embargo in the near future (December 1931) at the very beginning of return to gold standard. They purchased huge amounts of USD in exchange for fiducial currency, and thus severe domestic monetary contraction occurred.
To summarize, the most prominent feature of the Showa Depression is the appalling domestic monetary contraction owing to the unreasonable return to gold standard. Such contraction choked bank loans especially towards small and fragile firms in the fabric industry. [Japan’s economy had relied especially heavily on silk production in the early days of Meiji industrialization.] Facing the hardship, these entrepreneurs were forced to sell their products at damping prices, cut wages and fire some parts of their employees. Consequently, prominent deflation progressed.
Otaki sees the return to the gold standard as the problem, then. Like Keynes quoted above, Otaki is half right. Yes, returning to the gold standard can wreak havoc on an economy, but only in the way that restoring law and order occasionally wreaked havoc in Tombstone. Wyatt Earp had to crack a few heads to get folks to settle down. When “subtle investors” saw the sheriff on the horizon, they stuffed their carpetbags full of the locals’ flatware and hightailed it out of town. But this is hardly the sheriff’s fault.
Amazingly, in the very next paragraph after the one quoted above, Otaki blames the “current prolonged stagnation” in Japan on “easy monetary policy.” Otaki wants to contrast this with the Showa Depression, but on closer analysis it is obvious that the two things are the same. Keynesianism is the hocus pocus that seeks to cover over naked theft with highfalutin words. It is hard to see how Otaki can reconcile his support for Keynes with statements such as this:
The stimulations to the economy, which only involve the maintenance of the current spurious prosperity, are immoral, because such policies and projects gravely disturb the income distribution of the future generations via the debt-management policy. The imprudence in the fiscal policy and the huge scale project of the private sector stems [sic] not only from moral hazard in the limited liability but also from the illusion based on the rootless expansionism [emphasis in original] that is a negative inheritance of the High Growth Era.
Otaki seeks to accomplish this with an appeal to Burke, and to measured reform overall. But as Otaki’s own telling of just recent Japanese history makes clear (and as a wider survey of Japanese history, or of any other country’s history, will confirm), it is not reform that is the problem, but the so-called reformers. The weakness of any economy boils down essentially to just this: some people will try to hijack it via its money system and turn the entire thing to their own ends. There is no way to prevent this with laws and policies. There must be a sound currency, impregnable to human folly. That currency is gold.
A Japanese economy on the gold standard would be insulated from the endless boom-and-bust cycle of the Keynesian shell game. There would have been no bubble, no collapse, and no lost decades. Japanese firms would be healthy and diversified, and there would be no tax-guzzling boondoggles like World’s Fairs and Olympic Games to dazzle the very populace which has been railroaded by the captains of crony capitalism, who always grow rich while the economy and everyone else within it grow poor.
The Origin of the Prolonged Economic Stagnation in Japan is a very good overview of one theory of why the Japanese economy has been in the doldrums for so long. Masayuki Otaki is certainly sincere in his belief that Keynesianism is the cure for what ails Japan. But he is also wrong. I recommend this book as a very helpful primer on some of the more esoteric aspects of Japanese economics, and also as a foil for figuring out what Keynesianism is, and why it offers no future for any economy besides more of the same.

On Evangelical Fascism
RE: The Crisis Regarding “Evangelical Fascism”
Posted on Monday, January 20, 2020 Well done. This “I feel” instead of “I think” is dangerous and part of the feminizing of our culture. I’m old enough to remember when feeling was no substitute for thinking but now it is much preferred.
BTW, I had to check my calendar and make sure I hadn’t gone through a worm hole into November.
David, the bad guys are trying to make it always November and never Christmas.
Today’s blog post, “The Crisis Regarding ‘Evangelical Fascism'” is timely and helpful, but I think needs to be tempered a bit by John Frame’s recent post on Gentleness. I think if we can attain to gratitude, confidence, joy, AND gentleness (where appropriate—Jesus was not ALWAYS gentle) in our fight, we’d be really well set.
Scott, thanks for the reference.
What should a faithful man do if he believes his church is falling victim to the sentiments you describe here? Well intended as the elders may be, it concerns me. Should I gather the evidence leading me to my hypothesis and present to the elders? How can I ring the alarm bell and demonstrate respect at the same time without undermining authority.
Tim, it depends on whether you are picking up a vibe, or whether there is concrete evidence. If there is evidence, then you absolutely must submit what you see to the elders. If one of the Sunday School classes is going through some awful book, then yes. Submit your concerns. But go straight to the elders — which is how you demonstrate your respect.
Or Maybe Romans
I have a friend who is a marginal Catholic, he is always dealing with the fact he feels like he never measures up, and has severe depression. He is the father of two and is constantly feeling like his prayers don’t go farther than the ceiling. So I was shocked that he asked me to do a Bible study with him. My question for you, is where do I start? What would be your starting place? I was thinking 1 John, but is there a better book to study together?
Jonathan, I would do a book like Galatians. You want something that is gospel heavy, in a high octane “no condemnation” form.
I am a Christian in the first year of my undergrad at a state school in Georgia and I want to teach post-secondary education at a non-religious school (history or philosophy in particular). However there are some difficulties: I believe in God, I believe in the Bible as His inspired Word, and I also believe that men are men and women are women. Taking all this into consideration, is the idea of someone that I have just described teaching at a secular institution laughable? Is my pursuit of a career in higher education worth-while in any way? I would appreciate any resources or information you could point me to!
Justin, the way things are going, the pickings are going to be pretty slim. Honestly.
Postmill Resources
This is actually in regards to your “Reformed Basics” video on Amazon Prime. Where might I find some solid resources and books on postmillennialism?
Wayne, as an introduction I would recommend Keith Mathison’s Postmillennialism. A more detailed treatment would be He Shall Have Dominion by Ken Gentry. And if you wanted to make me happy, you could get my book on it, Heaven Misplaced.
My name is Dennis and I’m a christian blogger from Germany.
I have a question: Would it be possible that I translate some of your blog posts into German and publish the translation on my blog?
Of course, I will refer to your website and set a backlink. Thus it will improve your domain authority at Google and indicate who is the origin author.
Are you okay with that?
Dennis, absolutely. Have at it.
Re: Rabshakeh, Chief of the Pronoun Police
Posted on Friday, November 29, 2019 So I’m reading your post thinking, “Great, Wilson is gonna tell me how to deal with this lunacy.” Like, do you use the preferred pronoun or not and in what circumstances, and if not, then how to navigate it without going to jail or being murdered.
I already have my own ideas on how to handle it if (when) the need arises. But anyway, I get to the end of your post and decide, “Rats, I guess I’m gonna have to read the link.” So I did. Not very satisfying. Please, tell us what to do.
David, sorry for leaving you hanging. I do need to write more about it. I believe that Christians can use the new proper name that someone has adopted, but that we should refuse to adjust on the nouns and pronouns. If a man changes his name to Heather, that really is his name now. But he has done nothing in God’s world, which is what the pronouns refer to. I believe that Christians should simply refuse to comply.
Sweater Vest Question
I just finished the sweater vest dialogues and very much enjoyed the conversation. There were some enlightening moments for me, specifically differentiating between eternal and incarnate and how we view God the father and God the son in relationship. Thanks so much for doing these videos. I am however unaware of the “controversy” this talk came from. Can you point me to what you and James were referring to that started this?
Jordan, here is a rundown on some of it.
Headcoverings Once More
A few weeks ago you received a few questions about head coverings in I Cor 11. You dismissed the commandant as either cultural or not required b/c of verse 15. But the command of the head covering was universally practiced in the early church and widely practiced across church history up until recently modern times. So if it was cultural or not actually required, why was it practiced for so long? What happened in the late 19th and 20th centuries that made not wearing acceptable? Then I read this from you today, “… the end result is that such a person finds himself seeing what nobody else wants to see, and saying things that nobody wants to hear.”
My assessment is that pastors aren’t willing to preach I Cor 11 straight down the middle, because they know there would be a roughly 0% acceptance in roughly 100% of American churches. They can’t see the text clearly because they know what it would mean for them if they became convinced that it is a command. The pastor would immediately be labeled as a legalistic and kook. But isn’t that the call of pastors? To “see what nobody else wants to see, and say things that nobody wants to hear.”
Roger, thanks. But I think you may have misunderstood me. I don’t believe it is a cultural thing at all (like foot washing). Paul teaches us that the very nature of things requires women to have their heads covered. I believe that the requirement is very much in force today.
Theonomic Hard Edges
Modern Day Theonomy I’d like to know what cherem laws (Deuteronomy 13:3-11) are supposed to look like for us today alongside the idea of how only an explicitly Christian settlement can truly protect the religious liberties of a people, more so than any other religion.
In your post “Moses and the Modern World” you state . . .”to say that something in the Old Testament fell under the cherem ban does not mean that it does not apply to us today. Rather, this principle affects how the cherem penalties should be applied.”
If a Christian government were operating according to it’s full function, would the death penalty eventually be instituted for those who practiced false religions?
And if did not require death or penalize their worship of false God’s in any other way, would a Christian government eventually want to change it’s constitution to prohibit non-Christians from obtaining any position of magistrate? How else would you preserve itself?
Since all societies are inescapably theocratic, this question comes from a place of belief, not doubt. Just seeking remedy my ignorance. You’re thoughts are always a good for that.
Rope, okay, for instance. I believe that in a consistent Christian republic, church bells would be legal, but minarets would not be. At the same time, I don’t believe it would be in any way illegal to be a Muslim. The severe cherem penalties are fulfilled in Christ. But then Christ told us to disciple the nations, teaching them obedience. That part of it is done via gospel, not via sword.
A Stumper
Do you know of any good books about our cultural fixation on youth / fear of aging? I’ve looked but I didn’t find anything except cutesy devotionals and self-help trash. I’m only 26 but I’m already getting upset about my receding hairline, pining after my old college days, etc. But I don’t want to become one of those pathetic 40 year old men who’s dressing like he’s 20. I want to learn how to leave behind youth and embrace manhood. Any advice or resources about this?
Ryan, sorry, no, I don’t. And that’s a shame because it would be a most helpful resource to have a book like that. The only resource I know of is Bruce Springsteen’s song Glory Days.

How to Avoid Secular Stagnation
In his January 10 interview on Bloomberg TV, former US Treasury secretary Larry Summers expressed concern that despite the aggressive lowering of interest rates by major central banks, economic activity does not appear to be responding.
Summers suggested that something is not quite right. He is of the view that the Alvin Hansen’s secular stagnation theory might explain the present economic climate.
Hansen introduced his theory in the 1930s to provide an explanation for the Great Depression. Hansen's explanation of the Great Depression of the 1930s was that the US had become mired in permanent stagnation from which it could not be lifted by free market capitalism. In his presidential address to the American Economic Association in 1938, Hansen asserted that the US was a mature economy that was stuck in a setup that it could not escape from. According to Hansen technological innovations had come to an end and population growth was stagnating. Hence, investment opportunities would be scarce, and there would be nothing ahead except secular economic stagnation.
As a result of insufficient aggregate demand, this theory holds, the private sector of the economy is likely to remain in a permanent stagnation over a prolonged period unless fiscal policy is implemented to boost investment via public works projects. In this way of thinking, demand is the key to economic growth, and there is the urgent need to start boosting the inadequate aggregate demand by increasing government outlays on capital investments. This, it is held, could lift the economy out of the permanently stagnant configuration.
Since individuals are goal seeking, they are constantly striving to achieve as many goals as possible. What limits their ability to achieve various goals are means. Means have to be generated in order to serve in the achievement of various goals or ends.
For instance, an individual who sets a goal of building a house would have to organize the necessary materials and tools for this. These materials and tools would have to be produced, i.e., there is the requirement of having a suitable infrastructure to generate all the materials and tools.
This goal also implies that various individuals who are engaged in the making and the enhancement of the infrastructure must be supported in terms of various goods that are required to support their lives and well-being.
The goods that are provided to them in exchange for doing this do not emerge out of the blue. Those individuals who are producing final goods must allocate a portion of their final product to various individuals who are engaged in the enhancement and the expansion of the infrastructure.
The final goods that are provided to them are real savings. (The producers of final goods, rather than consuming them entirely, may decide to channel (invest) them to individuals who are expanding and enhancing the infrastructure.)
For both Hansen and Summers, savings is considered bad news since it is regarded as undermining the aggregate demand.
What commentators such as Summers are saying is that the underlying fundaments of the economy are not in a good shape. However, they are blaming the wrong causes for the underlying economic weakness. For them, weak population growth is an important factor because it undermines aggregate demand and hence economic growth. Unfortunately, none of the commentators emphasize that at the heart of economic growth is the pool of real savings. Given that savings are seen as bad for the economy, one is not surprised that Summers advocates for the strengthening of fiscal and monetary policy, which he believes will place the economy on a trajectory of strong economic growth.
But all that these loose policies are going to do is set in motion a further diversion of real savings from wealth generating activities to non-wealth generating activities. This is likely to undermine the pool of real savings and will definitely set the foundations for prolonged stagnation.
Also, both supply and demand must work in harmony. In a market economy, the purpose of production is consumption. People produce and exchange goods and services with each other in order to promote their lives and well-being — their ultimate purpose. This means that consumption cannot arise without production, while production without consumption would be meaningless.
In a market economy, both consumption and production are in harmony with each other, and consumption is fully backed by production.
In order to remove the threat of secular stagnation what is required is to shrink government outlays and to close all the loopholes for the creation of money out of thin air.
Contrary to the assertions of Hansen and various Keynesian commentators, wealth can only be generated by wealth producers, and not by government and central bank bureaucrats.
We'd call this from Joe Stiglitz propaganda, not economics
It is, of course, possible to argue about the effects of economic changes. But we do think it helps to be reasonable about this. Which isn’t quite how we’d describe this assertion from Joe Stiglitz:
Given tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the ultra-rich and corporations, it should come as no surprise that there was no significant change in the median US household’s disposable income between 2017 and 2018 (again, the most recent year with good data).
The tax cuts were signed into law in late December 2017 and took effect for the tax year (which is in the US the calendar year) 2018. Now we do indeed believe in the healing power of money fructifying in the pockets of the populace but we’d perhaps think that that effects of a 1% of GDP change in tax revenues might take a teeny bit longer than that to come through.
Especially as the claimed and planned route is to be through higher business investment.
It’s possible to note that we lack the Nobel Joe has so whadda we know but a more reasonable conclusion here would be that Professor Stiglitz is indulging in a little bit of propaganda rather than economics. After all the standard New Keynesian models all do conclude that fiscal policy does take a finite amount of time to take effect.

Climate may have shaped the evolution of the human nose
Nature's nose job
By Marlene Cimons
In the late 1800s, British anthropologist and anatomist Arthur Thomson posited that people with ancestral origins in cold, arid climates were likely to have longer, thinner noses, while those who came from warm, humid regions were inclined to have noses that were shorter and thicker.
His theory was that climate has a profound influence on the shape of the human nose, more so than any other evolutionary factor, because one important job of the nose is to warm and humidify air inhaled through the nostrils. This suggests it is an advantage for people in colder climates to have narrower nostrils, and vice versa.
Over the years, scientists have tested Thomson's Nose Rule, as it came to be known, with skull measurements, but until recently no one had ever studied these dimensions in live people.
Pennsylvania State University researchers did just that in a study published Thursday in PLOS Genetics, confirming that Thomson was onto something. They concluded that the size and shape of noses evolved, at least in part, as a response to local climate conditions.
“We are primarily interested in understanding how human variation arises,” says Arslan Zaidi, a postdoctoral fellow in biology and the study’s lead author. “The questions we ask are: why do we look different from one another? Why do males and females look different? Why are there differences among humans from different populations? We focused on the nose because there is a huge body of work suggesting that it may have evolved in response to climate.”
The research is important because studying human evolution and adaptation can have significant implications for human health. For example, people of Northern European ancestry — because of their light skin — carry an increased risk of sunburn and skin cancer when they are near the equator. Similarly, dark-skinned individuals carry an increased risk of vitamin-D deficiency at higher latitudes.
“These risks are a direct consequence of our evolutionary history,” Zaidi says. “Dark skin evolved to protect us from overexposure to ultraviolet radiation, and lighter skin evolved to allow us more absorption of UV so that we can synthesize more vitamin D. If nose shape evolution has indeed been driven by climate, does moving to a different climate increase our risk of respiratory disease? This is unclear at this point, but important to pursue.”
The researchers looked at a variety of nose measurements. Using three-dimensional facial imaging, they examined the width of the nostrils, the distance between nostrils, the height of the nose, nose ridge length, nose protrusion, external area of the nose, and the area of the nostrils. They focused on individuals of four different ancestries: South Asian, East Asian, West African and Northern European.
This diagram represents the evolution of the human nose. Blue boxes, corresponding to colder climates, represent narrower nostrils. Red boxes, corresponding to warmer climates, represent wider nostrils. Colors in between represent intermediate nose shapes.PLOS Genetics
They asked two questions: Are some aspects of nose shape more varied across populations than expected with genetic drift? (Genetic drift is a random evolutionary process leading to differences among populations over a long period of time, simply by chance.) If so, can this variation be explained by climate?
“In other words, if two populations are isolated for a long time, we expect their noses to look different just by chance, because of genetic drift,” Zaidi says. “We needed to rule this out to show that the variation among human populations was more than that expected just by genetic drift. Out of the seven measurements describing nose shape, we found two measurements related to the width of the nose to be significantly more differentiated among populations than expected by genetic drift. This means that the difference in nose width among human populations is more than is expected by random chance.”
Researchers found a positive correlation between nostril width and temperature and humidity, suggesting that natural selection likely plays a significant role in human nose evolution. Natural selection is the process by which organisms that are well adapted to their environment tend to survive and pass their traits to succeeding generations, while ill-adapted organisms tend to die off.
But humans have always moved around, and these days it's not uncommon for someone from a long line of cold climates to live by the equator. They'll likely sport the narrow nostrils of their forbears.
“Evolution takes a long time,” Zaidi says. “If nose shape has evolved in the past to adapt to local climate, it likely took tens of thousands of years. So, my great-great-great grandkids are likely still going to have wider noses — I’m Pakistani — even if they continue to live in a colder climate, as long as they continue to marry other South Asians.”
Moreover, “human variation does not agree with notions of race,” he adds. “There are more similarities among humans from different populations than there are differences, both genetically and phenotypically. Traits such as skin pigmentation and nose width appear more different because they are examples of external traits that are exposed to the environment, and have evolved faster than most other human traits. They are an exception rather than the rule. This is an important caveat to make, because people often tend to focus on differences and ignore the similarities.”
The researchers also noted that other factors may also be involved, such as gender differences. Men tend to be larger than women, for example, so their noses tend to be larger as well. Other variations emerge because people may prefer mates with smaller or larger noses. Still, concepts of beauty may be related to how well-adapted a nose is to the local climate, according to the scientists.
As for the future of the schnoz, Zaidi says that evolution is “a wildly random” process, making it difficult to predict what will happen to the human nose in response to global warming.
“Human evolution, at this point, is very different from evolution in the past,” he says. “Our lifestyles aren’t what they used to be, and we move around the world way too much. That makes it very complicated to predict the future evolutionary trajectory of the nose with the changing climate.”

Fits of delicacy and despair
by Joanna Gilmour, 1 December 2009
Henry Mundy's portraits flesh out notions of propriety and good taste in a convict colony.
Mary Ann Lawrence, 1841
In the limited pharmaceutical world of the mid nineteenth century, laudanum was everybody’s choice of poison. This easily procurable cocktail of opium and alcohol was cheaper to buy than a bottle of gin and used for the treatment of any number of conditions, mild or malignant: applied in the case of a fractious, teething infant; prescribed for period pain, coughs, colds, or insomnia; and used to alleviate the throes of cancer or consumption.
A trawl through newspapers of the time will also occasionally reveal its efficiency as a method of suicide. It was a factor in a number of deaths reported in Tasmanian newspapers in the 1840s, including that of painter Henry Mundy, who ended his life with an overdose of laudanum in a Hobart pub.
‘An artist of considerable ability, and very respectably connected in the colony’, Henry Mundy (c. 1798–1848) flourished in Van Diemen’s Land during the late 1830s before his success as a portrait painter withered in the economic woes of the succeeding decade. The final years of his life, according to acquaintances, were marked by alcoholism and ‘irregular habits’ as well as the ‘occasional state of temporary insanity’ that was declared to have ‘urged him to the commission of the awful deed’ of suicide in March 1848. Mundy had checked into the Ship Hotel on Collins Street and retired to his room after a couple of ales and a cigar. He died soon after being found ‘insensible’ on his bed the following morning with an almost-empty laudanum bottle on the table beside him and in his pocket a letter demanding payment of a debt. An autopsy conducted in the same room later that day revealed his stomach to contain an amount of opium ‘sufficient to cause death’.
The sordid facts of Mundy’s demise somewhat overshadow the grace of his achievements in the years preceding it, years when he created paintings now counted among the finest examples of colonial Australian portraiture. Henry Mundy was born in London around 1798 but details of his background are unclear. A newspaper report of his death describes him as having ‘visited France, Italy and other Continental countries in the study of his profession’, suggesting that his instruction in art was thorough and that he had the means to afford it. Whether by breeding or training, however, Mundy was seemingly not fitted enough to cut it as a painter in London and chose to move a socially mutable place where his skills would be more than acceptable. His arrival in Van Diemen’s Land in 1831 coincided with a change in flavour effected by the swelling numbers of free settlers who came to the colony to remake themselves in the guise of gentry. The fortunes of many flourished in the 1830s through the success of farming enterprises lubricated by an inexhaustible supply of convict labour.
By this time, the policies of lieutenantgovernor George Arthur – a moralising military man versed in the administration of British settlements – had cleansed the island of what were held by eager colonisers to be its biggest blights. He introduced schemes to perfect the colony’s function as a prison, establishing the penal settlement at Port Arthur in 1830. Arthur’s rigid approach combined with the spread of settlement diminished the strength of the escaped convicts and bandits who had been lording it over unoccupied parts of the island, and his governorship has been noted for the record number of miscreants despatched by the gallows in the early years of his term. It was Arthur too who attempted to resolve the conflicts between dispossessed Indigenous Tasmanians and the colonists driving them from the juiciest, most profitable pieces of their homeland. His efforts ended with the instigation in 1831 of the ‘friendly mission’ of George Augustus Robinson, which by the middle of that decade had persuaded Aboriginal people to accept relocation to Flinders Island, with ultimately catastrophic consequences.
As was so for a number of his artist contemporaries, Mundy arrived in a place ripe for delineation and his portraits – like the works of Benjamin Duterrau (1767-1851), Thomas Bock (1790-1855), and Thomas Griffiths Wainewright (1794-1847) – give flesh to underlying narratives of the island’s history. These artists created a complex visual record which often belies the deeply dark or merely unsavoury underpinnings of the prosperity enjoyed by the colony’s free settlers in the boom years of the 1830s. Duterrau celebrated the efforts of Robinson and the Indigenous leaders associated with him in the first history paintings created in Australia.
Bock’s exquisite handling of line was deployed in the documentation of executed criminals or still-emboldened bushrangers in the dock. And as a free man Bock, like Wainewright (another artist who came to Hobart a convict), made fine portraits of the island’s citizens. Like Bock and Wainewright, Mundy’s practice capitalised on the pretensions of free settlers who liked to mark their distinction from the ex-convict ‘lower orders’ by embroidering the new world with niceties. Fine estates with fine houses. Gardens. Hedgerows. And portraits.
Accordingly, when Mundy first arrived in Van Diemen’s Land it was to take up a teaching position – earmarked for Duterrau and his daughter – at Ellinthorp Hall, a girls’ school near the town of Ross. For several years, Mundy taught drawing, French and music at this school, touted as a provider of ‘every branch of Female acquirement’, and situated ‘expressly with a view to … the comfort and improvement of Young Ladies.’ Despite Lady Jane Franklin deriding Ellinthorp as a place more ‘noted for its balls and concerts and matchmaking’ than its reputation as a school, it was one of very few places in Van Diemen’s Land suitable for those wishing to make ‘ladies’ of their daughters. It attracted the patronage of the island’s most successful families and, for its urbane, portraitpainting drawing master, thus secured access to a fertile source of subjects.
Mundy is known to have painted at least one of his pupils – Mary Ann Lawrence (1821-1881), the daughter of a Launceston landowner. His portrait of Mary Ann was painted around the time of her engagement to pastoralist Francis Henty in 1841, the year that also saw the death of Mary Ann’s father and Mundy’s creation of a portrait of her mother, also Mary Ann, shown in the garb required of mourning wives.
Lady Franklin may have been correct with the matchmaking line at least, for by the time Mundy left Ellinthorp it was with a wife said to have been one of his pupils. Lavinia Lord, the daughter of the erstwhile commandant of the Macquarie Harbour penal station, was sixteen to Mundy’s thirty-six when she married him in 1834. By 1838 Mundy had relocated to Launceston and established himself as a landscape painter, portraitist and music teacher. For a few years, his business thrived.
The island was awash with the well-to-do and the new lieutenant-governor, Sir John Franklin, and his lady were doing their best to cultivate the arts in the colony, Lady Franklin even inviting Mundy to create works for her (invitations, however, that he declined). Mundy enjoyed the patronage of other notables, as demonstrated by the commissions he completed for men such as Thomas Archer (1790-1850) the owner of the estate named Woolmers, south of Launceston, and other slices of the district’s farmland. Mundy was paid one hundred and eighty pounds for his paintings of Archer; his son, Thomas William Archer; and Thomas William’s wife, Mary, all painted around 1841. Like the pictures of the Lawrence women, these are portraits in a stately style – Thomas junior, tall and brooding with his frock coat and sideburns; Mary in her finery; and Thomas senior, imposing, ruddy and corpulent.
Mundy’s portraits of Archer’s daughter Martha (1821-1853), and her husband Robert Kermode (1812-1870) – a landowner, politician and lobbyist for the abolition of convict transportation – date from around 1840. Robert was the son of William Kermode (1780-1852), a merchant who emigrated to Van Diemen’s Land in the 1820s and established a farming property, Mona Vale, near Ross. Robert spent his boyhood on the Isle of Man before coming to Van Diemen’s Land as a teenager to assist his father in the management of the estate. Robert no doubt bolstered the family’s status with his marriage to Martha in November 1839, a match by which two of the colony’s wealthiest families were melded. It’s reasonable to speculate that Martha may have been a student at Ellinthorp Hall given her family’s stature and connections with the school. The pattern of Martha’s existence, traceable through those of the men in her life, is a narrow one: married while still in her teens; mother to several children during her marriage; and dead, of tuberculosis, by age thirty-one.
Mundy’s portraits of the couple are prime examples of his practice, unsigned, as were all his canvases, but bearing his signature in their elegance and sensitivity, their seamless handling of paint; and in the expressive, potent rendering of the subjects’ eyes and faces. Less elaborate than Mundy’s paintings of subjects like the Archers and Lawrences, the Kermode portraits demonstrate the understated language of other examples of his work, such as the portrait of his brother-in-law, Francis Aubin, and the portraits of businessman Thomas Harbottle and that of Mary, his fetching, ringleted wife.
But Mundy’s skill as painter was not sufficient insulation against the slump in demand for portraits which hit with the economic depression of the 1840s. Mundy left Launceston in search of work. He moved to the east coast, nearer his wife’s family, and set up business in Hobart where, in 1842 and 1843, he was advertising as a portrait painter and offering lessons in drawing, painting, ‘pianoforte and flute’. His work attracted favourable attention and he was commended for his ‘excellent taste and professional ability’ on the display of two of his portraits in 1844, and for the ‘warm and vigorous’ style with which he executed Harbottle’s likeness, exhibited at RV Hood’s Hobart picture gallery in 1846. By this date, however, he was living some distance from Hobart, at Swanport, where he tried to earn his living by farming – a profession ‘for which he was in no respect suited’. Burdened with what a friend described as these ‘professional disappointments’, Mundy entered the period of personal decline that ended with his insalubrious death at the Ship Hotel.
With the years of Mundy’s activity as a painter in Tasmania amounting to less than a decade, known examples of his work are few in comparison to those of some of his contemporaries. They reside in a selection of galleries and museums or in the collections of families descended from those who commissioned portraits from him. It was from such a collection that Robert and Martha Kermode’s portraits were acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 2008. Originally displayed in the family home – Robert in the entrance hall of the palatial house he built in the 1860s; Martha in the breakfast room – the portraits were passed along four generations of the Kermode family, out of sight of art historians from the time they were painted. The original frames – one attributed to a nineteenth century Tasmanian maker, and the other by a London framer – were separated from the paintings in 1995 and purchased by the National Gallery of Victoria. In keeping with its policy of re-uniting paintings with their original frames, the NGV has made a gift of the recently-conserved frames to the Gallery. Robert and Martha Kermode’s portraits are acquisitions to boast about, a pair of paintings that will both gild and deepen the collection: handsome, rare and finely realised colonial Australian portraits by one of the finest – if most sadly short-lived – exemplars of the artform.

Property market showing green shoots, but is it enough to call it a rebound?
Posted By: qresearch October 14, 2019
There are new signs the property market could be on the rebound, with small price rises in Australia’s two largest cities.
“There is a turnaround in sentiment in Sydney and Melbourne markets,” Eliza Owen, a research analyst from Domain told 7.30.
“I think if you’re looking to sell, you might be getting a better price for your property than you did at the beginning of 2019.”
But it is not across the whole of the market just yet.
Over the last quarter, the high-end housing market was up 2 per cent in Melbourne and 1.8 per cent in Sydney, according to Domain.
“It has always generally been seen that the high end of the market moves first, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne,” Ms Owen said.
“It doesn’t hold across all the cities, but generally we expect the high end of the market leads and provides an indication of what other markets can do in the future.”

That then flows to the outer suburbs.
“It could be another six months or another year before the upswing is realised in areas further from the CBD and on the fringe of the metropolitan,” she said.
And although property markets in major capital cities used to move together, that is not the case any more.
“In Perth and Darwin, for example, property prices are still falling, and even though economic indicators in those mining-related markets are starting to turn around, we don’t see property prices picking up just yet,” Ms Owen said.
According to figures from CoreLogic, in June values across Sydney ticked up 0.1 per cent, while in Melbourne they rose 0.2 per cent.
Hobart also saw a rise of 0.2 per cent.
‘We’re just lucky’

Lorinda and David Smith could feel the change in sentiment when they sold their home in Melbourne’s east on the weekend for just over $1 million.
“When it got higher than expected we had to sit down, because it was just blowing us away,” Ms Smith told 7.30.
“We expected the bidding to start out quite low, but it started out right at the top and it just went crazy from there. So, amazing!” Mr Smith added.
“We’re just lucky that we live in an area that seems to be coming back a little bit. We feel really fortunate about that.”
But Ms Owen said the tentative rebound will be tempered by the national economy.
“The fact that we have sluggish income growth, sluggish economic growth expected, this means it’s going to temper the nature of this upswing,” she said.
Hoping to buy before prices rise

In Brisbane, the possibility of a turnaround is putting pressure on Iliria and Tom Stenning, who are looking to buy a four-bedroom house.
They are hoping to snap up a bargain before the market turns.
“We are conscious of the market and we’re trying to keep an eye on things to make sure we get a good deal,” Ms Stenning said.
They currently own an apartment, a section of the property market that mostly remains in the doldrums.
“If we were in a rush to sell, if we had to sell our apartment now, I’d be very, very concerned,” Ms Stenning said.
But sellers in Queensland’s south-east will probably need to be patient.
PHOTO: Graham Leask is willing to wait for the right offer for his Ipswich house. (ABC News: Peter McCutcheon)
Graham Leask listed his Ipswich home for sale three months ago. One offer fell through because of a lack of finance.
“I’m sure we could sell it in a week if we had the right money on it … like bargain-basement stuff,” Mr Leask said.
“But to get the price that you want, you may have to wait a while.”

Our Founders (Jewels)
Prominent Brothers
Pi Upsilon Lambda History
President’s Podium
Brothers Only
The Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter (PUL) of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated (Key # 652) was chartered at the 1993 General Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, on August 1. The initial catalysts for chartering Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter were six financial Brothers of Kappa Epsilon Lambda Chapter: Brothers Alex C. Bailey, Raymond Blackstone, Thomas Brown, Sr., Robert Kirkland, Al Perrine, Sr., and J. Keith Wilson. They were joined by Brother James Henderson, a Life Member of the Fraternity, in the petition to establish a second Alumni Chapter in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Sixty-one Brothers became charter members of Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter, believed to be the largest number of charter members for a Chapter in Alpha history. General President Milton C. Davis and Executive Director James “Tiny” Blanton signed the charter establishing Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter. With the initial Chapter seat established at Brandywine, Maryland, the official chartering ceremony was held at the Non-commissioned Officers Club at Andrews Air Force Base on Sunday, December 12, 1993. The Chapter seat was later moved to Largo, Maryland.
Pi Upsilon Lambda’s primary focus has been on community service, education and scholarship. The Chapter annually conducts a college financial aid workshop attended by parents and students from across Prince George’s County. The Chapter also sponsors a mentor-tutorial program at various schools within the county, conducts voter education seminars and registration drives, participates in the Adopt-A-Highway program, provides food baskets to the needy on holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and assists with area and district implementation of Project Alpha and the A. Charles Haston Brother’s Keeper programs. In 1994, Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter established the Alpha Phi Alpha Pi Upsilon Lambda Charitable Foundation, a tax exempt non-profit organization, which provides scholarships to graduating high school students living in Prince George’s County who plan to pursue collegiate studies.
From its membership, Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter has provided leaders at the National, Regional and District levels of Alpha including an Executive Director of the Fraternity, an Administrative Director, a Director of Communications/Editor to the Sphinx, a Director of Membership Services, a Director of Educational Activities, and an Executive Director of the national Education Foundation. Brothers from Pi Upsilon Lambda have also served as Regional Director of Educational Activities and General Counsel. Three Brothers have served as Associate Area Directors for the District, three have served as Area Directors, and one Brother has served as the District Director. Currently members of PUL serve as the Mid-Atlantic Association of Alpha Chapters (MAAC) Alumni Vice President, Treasurer, and National Director of Membership Services. Also, a PUL Brother serves as the primary architect of the Martin Luther King Memorial which now sits on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
The first eleven presidents of Pi Upsilon Lambda Chapter were, in order of service, Brothers Alex C. Bailey, Ronald L. Anderson, J. Keith Wilson, Jeffrey J. Johnson, Keith L. Battle, Andre R. Watkins, Anthony Harris, Christopher Moore, Paul E. Brown, Duane J. Edwards, and Frank T. Malone. Brother Damian Taylor currently serves as the twelfth President of PUL.

Flights to Copenhagen
Book flights from Singapore to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways
Arriving in Copenhagen
Regarded by the two million inhabitants and the millions of visitors who come to the Danish capital every year as a “Friendly old girl of a town”, Copenhagen is a city with plenty of character and a unique charm.
Big enough to offer visitors a truly memorable experience, but still small enough to feel intimate and charming, Copenhagen is one of Scandinavia’s jewels.
Book a flight to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways and you’ll land in a city that takes a decidedly laid-back approach to life, but with traditional values of courtesy and warmth towards strangers underpinning their culture. The result is a destination that will draw you back time and again.
Copenhagen’s iconic monument has to be the Little Mermaid, a sublimely beautiful bronze statue by Edvard Eriksen that celebrates the life of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen.
But this culturally important city also has plenty of other attractions to offer, including a thriving arts scene that’s ably represented by a plethora of galleries and exhibitions. The Danish National Gallery is a great starting point, or visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek gallery for a selection of more classical paintings.
A great, hands-on science attraction is the Experimentarium, while the highly regarded Copenhagen Zoo focuses on conservation, and has an iconic tower that stands in the centre of the zoo.
One of Copenhagen’s most recognisable landmarks is Rundetårn (the Round tower). A climb to the top is well worth it for the spectacular views across the city. And to find out more about Denmark’s rich history visit the Nationalmuseet in Indre By to see an extensive collection of Viking artefacts and treasures.
Travel considerations
Flights to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways land at Kastrup Airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Copenhagen please check the visa and passport requirements.
With regular flights from Singapore to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways you have the perfect means of getting to Denmark’s beautiful capital effortlessly. We’ll provide you with the space you need to really relax and stretch out, and supply you with some award-winning in-flight services, including delicious cuisine and thousands of in-flight entertainment options for your enjoyment.
Copenhagen has come a long way since it was founded by the Vikings as a fishing village in the early 10th century. It has recently seen strong cultural and urban redevelopment, with huge investment in its infrastructure. As well as historic monuments such as the Amalienborg Palace, you can shop in some of Scandinavia’s most impressive malls and enjoy international cuisine in top restaurants. Modern architecture blends delightfully with medieval spires and towers to create a charming skyline.
Flying from Singapore
One of the largest air transport hubs in Asia, Changi Airport is Singapore’s principle departure point for international travel. Qatar Airways flights from Singapore leave from Changi Airport, connecting passengers to major destinations worldwide, including Doha. The atmosphere is calm, refined and tranquil, and the friendly staff are always helpful.
There are five car parks spread across the airport. There is a 10-minute ‘grace’ period in car parks for pick-ups and drop-offs. Payment for short and long-term stays is via electronic payment machines positioned at the exits of the car parks.
A free shuttle bus service from Changi Business Park to the terminals operates daily, while regular local bus services run from the centre of the city to the airport. There are plenty of taxis for hire, and a pre-booked limousine service are also available.
Arriving in Changi Airport
Qatar Airways flights from Singapore Changi Airport depart from Terminal 1. You should arrive for check-in at least two hours before your flight is due to leave. Security checks are strict, so be prepared to allow a little extra time to go through security. Ensure that you don’t have any banned items in your handbags and carryon luggage and that all your documents are in order before you travel.
Changi Airport has plenty of amenities and facilities for travellers, and is a very child-friendly airport, with entertainment, Internet terminals and even a unique butterfly garden that will delight younger visitors.
For adults, there are plenty of retail outlets selling a wide selection of goods, including duty-free shopping.

Why 30 Million Words Are Critical to Your Child’s Future Success
Photo credit: NI QIN, E+ Collection/Getty Images
It’s hard to wrap your mind around the concept of 30 million anything. It’s the population of Malaysia. It’s the number of Ashley Madison accounts unearthed by hackers. The price of a castle in Kentucky.
It’s also the gap between the number of words a well-to-do child hears by the end of age 3, versus any one of their less fortunate peers. Thirty million words. And that gap has a persistent impact on learning, literacy, and education.
Crazy, right? I spoke to Professor Dana Suskind, MD, founder and director of the Thirty Million Words Initiative and author of the book of the same name, about how something as simple as talking is linked to lifelong success.
So, is it really as simple as ‘Talk?’
Yes and no. It comes down to the brain. Talking and language, especially in the first three years, is food for the developing brain.
What it isn’t is 30 million random words. It’s not all about quantity. It’s the quantity and quality of the parent talk.
And we aren’t doing it? That seems so astonishing to me.
[Researchers] Betty Hart and Todd Risley shined a light on the impact of poverty and stress and culture on how much parents talk and interact.
And there’s also the emergence of attention-consuming technology — the iPads and the iPhones. Go to any park and see that parent talk is being impacted. The brain still needs it.
How does parent talk work?
Parent talk doesn’t just build babies’ brains and vocabulary. It builds all aspects of a child and their academic trajectory, executive function, social-emotional skills. Even math and spatial skills. Kids hear more number and measurements words. Even generosity. The real crux of the book that is fact that parent talk builds all aspects of our children’s success — and you don’t have to buy any technology or toys.
How is talking — in particularly, parentese — linked to literacy? Cooing seems the opposite of, you know, SAT words.
Baby talk always gets trashed. It’s not gaga googoo; it’s the intonation. What’s interesting is that it helps a baby tune in. It helps get the baby’s attention. In studies, the brain lights up with parentese. It’s such an important part. Parents do it all over the world.
The singsong voice helps the babies parse words and segments of words and sounds. When we’re born, it’s not like the speech has clear breaks. Parentese helps baby’s brain understand letters, phonemes, words. It’s incredibly important.
The crux of the book is the Three Ts. Can you tell me a little bit about how they work?
Thirty million words is a metaphor for richness in language environment. We culled it down to three basic things a parent needs to do to provide a rich language environment.
Tune in. This is the first step. You need to be tuned in to what your child is focused on for language to stick. If they’re distracted by a TV show, they aren’t really hearing you.
Talk more. Tune in, and then start talking about what you’re doing. Start narrating. What do you say to a 3-month-old? You can talk about the laundry you’re doing, whatever you’re cooking, what’s happening in the here and now or in the future or the past. And use rich words to go along with it.
Take turns. It’s hard to think of babies as a conversation partner; before they have words, it feels foreign. But from day one — or almost from day one — they’re practicing having a conversation with gestures, grimaces, babbles. You can respond and keep it going. That’s the crux of a rich language environment.
How to Practice 30 Million Words at Home
Thirty million sounds unfathomable, but, in reality, you get there one word at a time. Here are some examples that any parent can do to develop a rich language environment at home. As Suskind explains, “Every routine and activity can be an opportunity for brain building and language.”
Getting dressed — and counting
Tune In: A parent notices that a toddler wants to help dress him- or herself in the morning.
Talk More: “Your romper has five snaps. Can you help Mommy count them? One, two, three, four, five. Five snaps to snap and you’ll be ready to go.”
Take Turns: The child takes turns by snapping the snaps and counting with Mom. One… Two… Three…
Playing dress-up — and learning about size and scale
Tune In: A child walks around the living room wearing his father’s shoes.
Talk More: “You’re wearing Daddy’s shoes. They sure are big on you! Daddy has big feet so he needs big shoes. Look at the difference in Daddy’s feet compared to yours. Yours are much smaller.”
Take Turns: “Whose shoes are bigger? Daddy’s or yours? Right! Daddy’s shoes are much bigger than yours. But your feet are growing. That’s why we needed to buy you new shoes last week. Your old shoes were squeezing your toes. They were much too small.”
Helping mom with a problem — and learning emotional self-regulation and problem-solving
Tune In: Mom is headed out the door but just realized she can’t find her keys. Mom explains without sounding annoyed or stressed.
Talk More: “I don’t believe I lost my keys again. This is the third time this week I’ve misplaced them. I’m really upset with myself. I’m going to be late for work. Can you help Mommy look for her keys?”
Take Turns: “Do you see the keys under the table? That was good thinking to look there because Mommy sometimes leaves her keys on top. They could have fallen. Should we look on the kitchen counter too?”
With younger babies and newborns, it’s less about the script, and more about simply narrating what you’re doing and responding to their coos and gurgles. Those coos and gurgles will become babble will become “ball” and “dog” and full on sentences, soon enough — and at each stage, the words you speak, and how you speak them, are building baby’s brain.
The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Professor Dana Suskind, MD, is both founder and director of the Thirty Million Words Initiative, which is based on scientific research that demonstrates the critical importance of early language exposure on the developing child. Dr. Suskind received the University of Chicago Medical Faculty Award as “Distinguished Leader in Program Innovation.” She is an advisor on The Clinton Foundation’s Too Small to Fail initiative and part of the White House initiative on creating a pathway to ending the achievement gap. She lives in Chicago, Illinois.

The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse
Video clips are automatically supplied by broadcasters and distributors. RadioTimes.com is not responsible for the clip's contents.
by Jack Seale
Of all BBC4's lid-lifting documentaries about light entertainers, this is perhaps the finest. Bob Monkhouse didn't take entertaining lightly at all: the crux of this film is the revelation that his house was full of cine film, VHS tapes and memorabilia, charting not just his own career, or even primarily his own work. Monkhouse was an obsessive, lifelong student of the art of comedy, always wanting to know how performers had chosen this word or that phrasing, how they'd finessed their act to make the most important sound in the world, the laugh from the audience, that little bit louder and richer.
Monkhouse's collection included many films and TV broadcasts long thought to be lost. Yet the real joy of this programme, first shown in January 2011, is in getting to know Monkhouse and his humble dedication. For him, comedy was life.
The story of the comedian and game show host's life and career, told through the archive of films, TV shows, letters and memorabilia that he left behind after his death in 2003. Contributors include Ronnie Corbett, Barry Cryer, Michael Grade and Lenny Henry.

The History Of Icelandic Football
The history of a location is usually incomplete without referring to certain factors specific to the said location. Some of these factors could be landmarks, arts, food, and sports. All of these factors are very important in discussing the significance of a specific part of the world. Iceland, which is characterized by a lot of volcanoes and glaciers, also have an array of cultural heritage. A huge part of this amazing island’s culture is sports. There are a variety of sports played in Iceland like; handball, volleyball, basketball, horse riding, and football.
Many people around the world enjoy the game of football either as a sport or their favorite past time. However, this article will be more focused on the history of Icelandic football and where it all began.
When Did The Game Begin In Iceland?
The first time football began in Iceland can be dated back to the 20th century. Iceland is filled with ice, volcanoes, lakes, and barely any land filled with grass for a sport like a football. As a result of Iceland’s terrain and landscape, pitches were at best a dried bed of magma, sand, or gravel. There was barely any opportunity to train or improve on their skills as a team. As a matter of fact, Iceland would not be able to play on grass until 1957. The first Icelandic team founded in 1912 was called Úrvalsdeild. This team was well recognized and partook in a lot of matches, however, it wasn’t internationally recognized. According to history, the first international match the Icelandic football was ever involved in was recorded in 1930.
The match took place on the 29th of July, 1930 and was against the Faroe Islands, of which Iceland became victorious. At this point in time, the Icelandic football team was gaining enough recognition. As the years went by and after several matches, they became recognized by FIFA as well. They became a part of the event by 1946, hence their first FIFA recognized match was on the 17th of July, 1946. The match, unfortunately, wasn’t a positive one for them, as they lost to Denmark.
This match held in Reykjavík, and ended in a score of 0-3, with Denmark taking the win for scoring 3 goals.
The Journey To FIFA & The UEFA European Championship
The Icelandic team had a very astonishing journey to being affiliated with FIFA and the UEFA European Championship. The journey lasted over 20 years, after which they will be known as the smallest team to ever be a part of the FIFA league. In 1954, Iceland was rejected from partaking in the qualification of the 1954 world cup.
In 1958, the Icelandic team was a part of the qualification process, however, they finished last on their group. This was because, they had zero wins and therefore, conceded over 26 goals. However, in 1994, the situation turned around as the team reached a good ranking for the first time. They ranked as the 37th and remained in that position for the longest time, until 2016. They ranked as 21st in 2016. 2015 was the year Iceland qualified for a major tournament in a qualification process for Euro 2016.
They were able to beat the Netherlands in the Group A qualification and losing just two games. During this time, they ranked as 23rd in the World, which was more than an achievement for them.
Iceland’s First Appearance In The World’s Championship
Iceland’s first ever championship took place in 2018, after beating Kosovo in a match that ended 2-0. This made Iceland the country with the smallest population to be a part of the World’s Championship. It was, also, a historic moment for the Icelandic team, because they broke the jinx! They finally did it and was a part of the World’s Championship after trying and failing so many times. The Icelandic team was drawn in a group with Nigeria, Croatia, and Argentina.
Even though Iceland was predicted to win because of their impressive performance in Euro 2016, it didn’t end that way. Unfortunately, they lost their chances of moving on from the group, because of the 2-0 loss to Nigeria. Their loss puts them in a match against Croatia, who were already qualified. Iceland lost to Croatia, and because Nigeria lost to Argentina, they finished at the bottom of the group with a single point.
Writing about the history of Icelandic football will be incomplete without talking about one of its star athletes. Amongst so many, one of the most popular is Rurik Gislason.
Rurik Gislason
Rurik Gislason, an Icelandic midfielder, who plays for SV Sandhausen, has played a remarkable role in the history of Icelandic football. He started his career with HK Kópavogur and has since been a force to reckon with. Rurik was a part of the squad, who represented Iceland in the 2011 UEFA European Under 21 Football championship. He has had 53 appearances and 3 goals against Liechten, Latvia and Estonia, respectively.
Rurik Gislason has played in several matches and was named in Iceland’s 23 man club for the 2018 World Cup.
The Icelandic football team is on its way to making a name for itself, as they have had some wins over the years. Even though this team comes from a country with a small population, they make up for it in the players. Speed, skill, and determination are just a few words you could use to describe the Icelandic team. However, with more work, they will get more recognition in the years to come.

Rhodes Greece: Quick facts
The most popular of the Dodecanese Islands and one of the most popular of all the Greek islands, Rhodes is a multifaceted place, almost like a small country, with a history that has stirred romantics for centuries. It also has some of the best beaches, archaeological sites, restaurants and nightlife in Greece.
Monolithos Castle
The castle of Monolithos was built on the foundations of another, older castle, and lies about 236m high on an amazingly difficult natural terrain, which made its construction even more challenging, near the village of Monolithos.
The Medieval Castle of Lindos
Within the walls of the Acropolis of Lindos, lies the Medieval Castle, the Governor's Palace of the Castle of the Knights of St John, consisting of three buildings, with only two remaining today.
The Byzantine castle of Lardos
The castle was built in the 12th century, during the Byzantine Era, by the Knights of the Order of St. John, whose main interest as soon as they arrived on the island in 1309, was to construct protective fortresses, preferably overlooking the sea, in order to defend themselves from the enemies.
Filerimos byzantine monastery & castle
In a quiet and shady pine forest on the hilltop of Filerimos, which is located on one of the first ancient towns of the island, Ialysos (Ialyssos), stands the astonishing Byzantine castle. Built during the Byzantine Era, the castle lies within a cluster of buildings of major historic importance, amongst Byzantine, Hellenistic and Medieval structures and monuments, including the Temples of Athena Polias and of Zeus.
Feraclos (Feraklos) Castle
The castle of Feraclos (Feraklos) lies 150m high on a very sharp and rocky hill, on the eastern side of the island, overlooking the bays of Haraki and Agathi, opposite the coast of Asia Minor.
Asklipio (Asklepieion) Medieval Fort
The castle of Asklipio (Asklepieion) was built in 1479 by Grand Master D'Aubusson at the site of an ancient lighthouse. In the Byzantine period, during the time of the Knights, the castle also offered the inhabitants of the surrounding villages protection against enemy attacks.
Ancient Ialyssos (Ialysos)
The district of Ialyssos (Ialysos) encompasses the northern part of the island. It was inhabited in the prehistoric period. Remains of a Minoan settlement have been found at Trianda and Mycenaean cemeteries have been located on the surrounding hills of Makria Vounara and Moschou Vounara (1700-1400 BC).
St. Catherine Hospice
The Hospice of St. Catherine was built in 1391-92, under grand master Heredia, by the Italian Domenico d'Allemagna, admiral of the Order of the Knights of St. John (Knights Hospitaller). The founder was an important personage, disposing of considerable means.
The Municipal Gallery of Rhodes today houses one of the most representative and authoritative collections of 20th-century Greek painting. Most of the painters who worked creatively during these nine decades are represented in this collection through some of their most characteristic works.

I'm a freelance writer and I'm here to serve your writing needs.
This is where I’m supposed to writing something inspiring about writing but I’ve been too beaten down by years of disappointment from being both a Knicks and Mets fan to even try. So if you are reading this, I’ll just use this space to say I was right about the Melo signing being a mistake and that I’ve never recovered from Beltran not swinging on that pitch. Also, John Starks will always be my idol.

So Melo Wants to be Remembered as a Visionary? Let's Talk About That.
“How can I be known for being a visionary, for being truly great?” Carmelo Anthony asked one of his brand managers in this month’s ESPN Magazine profile of him. There’s a number of different ways to answer that question depending on which definition of “visionary” you subscribe to. I see that word thrown around a lot these days on the web and, unfortunately, I think it has lost some of its meaning. As for me, I like the straightforward definition my dictionary app gives: a person with original ideas about what the future could be like.

The Knicks Aren’t Good Enough to Tank –
On the morning before the New York Knicks suffered their 37th loss of the season, when Carmelo Anthony was asked about the benefits of “tanking” he was quick to shoot down any notion of purposeful losing. As admirable as his rebuke sounded, it really wasn’t because a few hours later, it become obvious that tanking isn’t something this roster even has the skill to execute. With just 20 games left in the season and roughly two months away from the lottery of one of the deepest draft classes in ye
Knicks Fans Shouldn’t Settle For Mediocrity
With a little over two weeks remaining until the trade deadline, Phil Jackson is quickly running out of time to determine what direction the New York Knicks should take for the rest of the season. The Knicks may just be 1.5 games away from the No. 8 seed, but after watching them put up a meager effort against the reigning NBA Champs, I think Saturday’s game wasn’t just a loss; it was a wake-up call that should make Knicks fans realize how far this franchise is from being a top-tier team.

Magic snap Lakers’ 9-game winning streak in 119-118 thriller
by: GREG BEACHAM, Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Markelle Fultz faked LeBron James off his hip, weaved through traffic in the waning seconds and scored the final bucket of his phenomenal triple-double performance.
Fultz then dropped to the court with a cramp. The Orlando Magic rushed to their valuable teammate’s aid, with Nikola Vucevic swiftly stretching out Fultz’s foot to make sure he could finish.
“It was the biggest play of the game!” Vucevic said with a laugh.
Fultz had several bigger ones, and so did a half-dozen contributors to what was likely the Magic’s best win of the season.
Fultz hit two big layups in the final minute while scoring 21 points during his second career triple-double, and Orlando snapped the Los Angeles Lakers’ nine-game winning streak with a 119-118 victory Wednesday night.
Fultz added 11 rebounds and 10 assists, while Aaron Gordon had 21 points and a late go-ahead basket as the Magic became the first sub-.500 team to beat the Western Conference-leading Lakers this season despite blowing a 21-point lead in the second half.
James had 19 points and matched his career high with 19 assists, but he also missed a tying 3-pointer with 3 seconds left. The Lakers showed off their impressive depth in the absence of Anthony Davis, but they couldn’t overcome the Magic’s superb contributions from up and down the roster.
“I think it just shows how deep this team goes, how much we believe in each other and what we’re capable of,” Fultz said. “We have guys out, but our mindset was the same going into the game. We all believed we had a chance to win this game, and we relied on each other.”
The Magic played without injured regulars Evan Fournier, Michael Carter-Williams and D.J. Augustin in their third stop on a six-game road trip, but they’ve rarely looked better.
Wes Iwundu scored a career-high 19 points while starting in Fournier’s place, and Vucevic scored seven of his 19 points in the fourth quarter of the Magic’s eighth win in 12 games.
Fultz said the final minutes were “what I’ve dreamed of,” and the Magic were thrilled to see it come true for the up-and-down former No. 1 overall pick.
“Boy is nice, and he’s only going to get better,” Gordon said. “He did a great job just running the show, settling them down, getting good shots. And then down the stretch, he took over.”
Quinn Cook hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to finish with a season-high 22 points, but the Lakers (33-8) hit the halfway point of their regular season with their first loss since Christmas.
Troy Daniels added a season-high 17 points, but the Lakers finally failed to overcome the absence of Davis, who missed his fourth straight game with a bruised backside.
“We’ve just got to be better,” James said. “We didn’t start the game out the right way, but I’m not disappointed in anybody or anything that we did. Our bench was the reason there was a game at the end, but they came in and produced everything we needed.”
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also scored 17 points for the Lakers in their final home game before a five-game road trip while the Grammy Awards take over Staples Center.
The Lakers erased an 87-66 deficit early in the fourth quarter with an impressive rally, but the Magic answered and traded big scores down the stretch. Gordon’s basket with 2:03 left reclaimed the lead for Orlando.
Cook and James hit late 3-pointers that trimmed the Magic’s lead to one point, but Fultz drove for a clutch layup with 15 seconds left to put Orlando up 118-115, and James’ tying attempt didn’t go down.
“We wanted to finish this homestand out the right way, but those guys made plays,” Cook said. “Being the Lakers, we get everybody’s best shot. Markelle made two tough, tough plays at the end.”
Cook and Fultz both graduated from the famed DeMatha Catholic High School in Maryland. Cook referred to Fultz as his “little brother.”
Magic: Fournier’s unavailability was determined shortly before game time. … Augustin sat out for the second time in three games with a bruised left knee. … Carter-Williams has missed 12 straight games with a sprained left shoulder.
Lakers: G Rajon Rondo missed his second straight game with a broken right ring finger. … Frank Vogel coached the Magic for two seasons from 2016-18. His first team in Los Angeles has already won more games than the Magic won in either of his two seasons there. … Dwight Howard had nine points and 16 rebounds.
WILD SWINGS
Orlando jumped to a 20-point lead in the second quarter. The Magic had seven players with at least seven points in their exuberant first half.
The Lakers trimmed their deficit to seven points at halftime, but then gave up a 21-4 run by the Magic. The Lakers responded with a 28-6 rally, but couldn’t finish.
CARUSO INJURED
Alex Caruso went to the locker room after he got accidentally smacked in the face while stealing the ball from Mo Bamba in the second quarter. A concussion evaluation was inconclusive, and the valuable backup guard didn’t return. He will be re-evaluated Thursday.
Iwundu was outstanding for Orlando while starting in place of Fournier, who sat out with a bruised right quadriceps. The speedy guard surpassed his previous career high early in the third quarter.
Magic: Stay at Staples Center to face the Clippers on Thursday.
Lakers: Visit the Houston Rockets on Saturday.

TIFF 2015: “Trumbo”
by Brian Tallerico
Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston), after being sent to prison, with his career destroyed by the blacklist, is brought a script by Kirk Douglas (Dean O’Gorman). The matinee idol tells him that he’s attached to the project but that the massive screenplay for "Spartacus" needs some serious work. He says something that Trumbo will quote later about another script—“There’s a good story in there somewhere.” Rarely does a film give you such a distinct quote to so easily apply to itself. Jay Roach’s “Trumbo” contains an undeniably strong story at its core, and Cranston does nothing wrong here, but the film feels artificial and staged when it needs to feel heartfelt and passionate. It’s one of those works that, from scene one, is telegraphing its sense of importance to the viewer. Every line, every scene, every beat is weighed down with a sense that the filmmakers value message over character, period detail and even filmmaking. The message of Trumbo’s story—that we should never punish people for that which they believe—is a timeless one, and one that bears repeating throughout the years in various forms of fiction. But Roach and screenwriter John McNamara’s approach is leaden, thumping and pushing viewers to its themes instead of letting them come organically.
From the very beginning, storm clouds are on the horizon for screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. It’s mere minutes into the film before his daughter asks, “Dad, are you a Communist?” Newsreels of Trumbo rallying protesting workers in Hollywood play before a film and the writer gets doused in sweetened beverage in the lobby afterwards. The tide is turning as the Cold War intensifies, and the word Communist takes on new meaning for Americans. It is not a different belief system, but that which will take us down from inside. The Red Scare is fueled by hatred and misunderstanding, represented by several people in “Trumbo,” including Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren), who uses her column and clout to force studios to fire Communist screenwriters, and even John Wayne (David James Elliott), who preaches intolerance for anything anti-American. Trumbo and his Communist friends, including writer Arlen Hird (Louis C.K.) and Edward G. Robinson (Michael Stuhlbarg), plan to fight back. They refuse to answer questions in front of HUAC, hoping that their case will rise all the way to a liberal Supreme Court, where they will be vindicated. In the middle of their journey, a justice dies, and they know they’re in trouble, as the political balance will now shift. In fact, Trumbo and other members of the Hollywood Ten are sent to prison for contempt, and their home lives and careers come tumbling down.
When Trumbo emerges from his incarceration, it is to a completely different world. No producer is willing to put his name on a screenplay. The movie won’t get made if people know Trumbo wrote it. So he starts to work behind the scenes, not only because he’s still got the immense talent to do so, but because he needs to feed his family (Diane Lane plays his wife, Elle Fanning his now-grown daughter). He essentially turns his brood into a script doctor workshop, covertly receiving scripts, working on them (often in his bathtub), and then sending them back via messenger. He does his most work with the King Brothers (John Goodman and Stephen Root), helping tweak their B-movie cavalcade. He also happens to write “Roman Holiday,” which he gives to a colleague (Alan Tudyk), which wins the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and “The Brave One,” which he writes under a pseudonym, and wins as well. It’s not until Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger come to Trumbo that it looks like he may finally be able to emerge from the shadows.
“Trumbo” is about freedom of belief. It needs to be passionate, intellectually engaged and confident. I’m not sure if Roach was the wrong fit or McNamara the wrong writer, but one never senses a pulse in “Trumbo.” It’s missing the human element, the beating heart that kept Trumbo, and others like him, going. Dialogue is stilted, forced and Hollywood. There are a few scenes between Cranston and Louis C.K. in which it feels like we’re actually watching two friends relate, but too much of “Trumbo” is lacking that humanity. More than half the dialogue is thematically purposeful. This is one of those scripts in which people talk about what they’re doing and why they’re doing it in nearly every scene—you know, like no one in real life.
It’s also a fatal mistake to frame the film as flatly as cinematographer Jim Denault and Roach chose to do so. Some people have accused it of looking like an HBO movie, but films like “Olive Kitteridge” and “Mildred Pierce” had a much stronger visual language. This film has none. It is box framing, pointing the camera in the direction of the action.
The Red Scare and the Hollywood blacklist are shameful chapters in this country’s history. Lives were destroyed over paranoia and belief. It’s a story that’s not taught well in schools, and a film like “Trumbo” could bring it to a wider audience. I do believe there’s value in learning from our mistakes as a country. And writers will always fascinate us, especially those for whom it would have been so easy to give up, but they chose not to. What drove Trumbo to keep writing when it felt like the forces pushing against him were unstoppable? The film that bears his name never answers the question satisfactorily. Still, there’s a great story in there somewhere.

Words That Heal And Words That Don’t
A friend of mine who lives in Texas is representative of voters who will decide the 2020 presidential race. He supports many of President Trump’s policies but winces at his behavior, words and unpresidential tone.
You’d think Democratic candidates would be trying to gain his vote or at least multiply his doubts about Mr. Trump. Instead, they lose all sense of proportion. Many blame the mass shooting in El Paso on the president. They say he’s a racist who motivates other racists to go on shooting sprees. To my friend, these statements come across as reckless and irresponsible. What Democratic candidates are doing is bad politics—and more important, it’s wrong.
Unfortunately, we are well past the point when politicians would stay silent long enough to let the victims’ families and friends grieve in peace. And I get that over-the-top rhetoric may help improve some Democrats’ chances to win the nomination. But it seems the more these White House hopefuls struggle for attention, the more extreme and desperate they make themselves look.
“I want to say with more moral clarity that Donald Trump is responsible for this,” Sen. Cory Booker declared of the shooting. Mayor Pete Buttigieg echoed the sentiment, arguing the president is “at best, condoning and encouraging white nationalists” like the Texas shooter.
Robert Francis O’Rourke responded to a question about Mr. Trump’s rhetoric with anger: “You know the s— he’s been saying. He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don’t know, like, members of the press: What the f—?” Demanding that the reporter “connect the dots,” he accused the president of “inciting racism and violence.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said the president has “created plenty of space for hate.” Sen. Bernie Sanders: “We have a president who is a racist.” Both exploited the massacres in campaign emails, she to raise money for Democratic senatorial candidates, he for an online petition condemning Mr. Trump. (Names are collected for future fundraising emails.)
Then Joe Biden piled on, telling an Iowa rally, “How far is it from Trump saying this is an invasion to the shooter in El Paso declaring, ‘This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas’? Not far at all.” Right after his speech, Mr. Biden sent out a fundraising email based on his remarks.
There’s more than a whiff of opportunism here. No one would—or should—hold Ms. Warren or Mr. Sanders responsible for the Dayton shooter’s murders, though his social-media posts apparently reveal he was a leftist who praised the violent Antifa movement and is a fan of the two senators.
Similarly, no one would or should hold Mr. Sanders responsible for the shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice in June 2017—which wounded Rep. Steve Scalise, a Capitol police officer and two others—even though the shooter was a Sanders enthusiast who raged against Mr. Trump and his policies.
To their credit, Sen. Kamala Harris and former Housing Secretary Julián Castro were less strident. Ms. Harris said only that the president “does not understand the responsibility that comes with the office,” while Mr. Castro admitted “the person that is responsible for the shooting is the shooter,” although he believes “President Trump is making it worse.”
Barack Obama seemed to take a different approach than most of his party’s candidates. He tweeted that he shared the country’s grief. Then, while acknowledging there was no way to “stop every deranged individual,” he called for gun control and properly labeled the El Paso shooting an example of “troubled individuals who embrace racist ideologies,” having “been radicalized by white nationalist websites.” This required “better strategies to reduce the influence of these hate groups.” So far, so good.
But without mentioning President Trump’s name, Mr. Obama closed his statement by pointedly lambasting his successor, saying his language “isn’t new” and “is at the root of slavery and Jim Crow, the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans.” That stoked partisan anger and did nothing to narrow America’s divide.
It was Mr. Trump who spoke the most healing words after the killings. He called the them “barbaric slaughters,” said “our hearts are shattered” and added: “In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy.” The president spoke for the entire country when he said, “We are outraged and sickened by this monstrous evil.”
I understand why people believe some of the president’s rhetoric is troubling. But labeling him essentially as an accomplice to murder will push our politics to the breaking point. It is a road America must not go down.

Shane Looper: Everyone loves a winner
Shayne Looper More Content Now
Aug 31, 2018 at 9:46 AM Aug 31, 2018 at 9:46 AM
Everyone loves a winner. Or hates a winner. It depends how he or she won.
Ashley Thomas, a researcher in cognitive development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, has found that even very young children have a predilection for winners. When she was a graduate student at University of California, Irvine, Thomas devised a way to determine whether children, ages 21 months to 31 months, would show a preference for high- or low-ranking individuals.
In a series of seven experiments, the toddlers watched a puppet show featuring two nondescript puppets (one a red rectangle, the other a yellow oval, each with an eye and a straight line for a mouth) trying to cross the stage but getting in each other’s way. In each case, one of the puppets yielded to the other, granting it the right of way. At the conclusion of the puppet show, the 23 toddlers who participated were given the opportunity to reach for one of the puppets. Twenty chose the puppet who “won.”
By repeating the experiment so that each of the puppets won, and by using different obstacles to be circumvented, Thomas was able to show that toddlers expressed an overwhelming preference for the winner, whichever puppet that might be. However, when the successful puppet achieved its goal by violence — knocking the other puppet down — the children overwhelmingly preferred the losing puppet.
The results seem conclusive: Even very young children prefer high-status individuals (winners) to low-status individuals (losers) as long as the winner achieved his high-status fairly. This preference for winners seems to be built right into human nature.
Advertisers appeal to this instinctive preference for winners. It is no accident the actors who sell us everything from cars to personal care items and cleaning supplies are presented as winners. They’re attractive, possess markers of affluence (expensive clothes, jewelry, and cars) and are often surrounded by lower-status admirers. The hidden appeal is: Buy our product and you too can be a winner.
People not only love winners, they love to celebrate winners. Writers understand this dynamic and employ it to create an emotional response in their readers. The Star Trek franchise wrote a standing ovation for their lead characters into the ending of Star Trek IV. It was apparently so popular with audiences that they did so in subsequent movies again and again. People love to celebrate winners.
So, from a theological perspective, why does the Church not celebrate Jesus’s victory more frequently and with more gusto? Why are there so few standing ovations for the Son of God? The Dante scholar and popular novelist Dorothy Sayers rightly complained of Christians who “muffle up that shattering personality and surround him with an atmosphere of tedium. We have efficiently pared the claws of the Lion of Judah, certified him ‘meek and mild’ and recommended him as a fitting household pet for pale curates and pious old ladies.”
Not even toddlers will show a preference for that nondescript imitation of Jesus. The New Testament portrays him in a very different light. He is “the Captain of Salvation,” the “pioneer of the faith,” “the Glorious Savior,” “King of kings and Lord of lords.” He is “the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End” and the “Savior of the world,” who has been given “the name above all names.”
The Book of Revelation celebrates his victory. Chapter five even features a Star Trek-like standing ovation — on steroids. Angels and heavenly authorities sing his praises, and every creature across the universe responds with exuberant praise. Upon his victory, in chapter 19, another roar of praise goes up, and continues on and on. It booms like Niagara, explodes like peals of thunder. The armies of heaven are seen following Jesus, and he is declared “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.”
Here is a hero of the highest order, the ultimate victor. And he comes to this place not by violence but through personal sacrifice. He is worthy of “praise and honor and glory and power,” because he has earned this homage as the “Lamb who was slain,” rather than the bully who got his way. He is not a fitting household pet for pious old ladies, but the hero of the Church and the Savior of the World.

SC partners with MOE to make kids financially savvy
14 September 2011 | Kuala Lumpur
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has embarked on a partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE) to build financial literacy amongst school children.
The “Train the Trainer for Teachers” programme (Train the Teachers), launched by the Deputy Education Minister Wee Ka Siong at the SC today, aims to equip teachers with financial literacy teaching skills. These teachers will then serve as “change agents” to create a significant multiplier effect to reach out to school children, aged between 10 to 15 years.
Investor education has long been a regulatory priority for the SC which believes it is essential that people develop the necessary skills to safely avoid the many scams and fraudulent schemes in the market and to assess the suitability of legitimate financial products and services in accordance with their financial capabilities and risk appetite. Through its training and development arm, the Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC), the SC delivers a range of investor education programmes such as Be Money Wise and [email protected] which cater to adults, as well as programmes for children such as Kids & Cash, Teens & Cash, [email protected] and Kampus kaChing.
The SC started developing Train the Teacher programme as part of a broader train the trainer initiative for investor education to leverage on its multiplier effect in building financial literacy & responsibility and resistance to scams and to ensure the sustainability of efforts supporting the journey from financial literacy to financial capability.
“One of the initiatives which would have the most positive impact was to leverage on teachers who are a ready and valuable resource and a natural conduit for learning, by providing them with the necessary tools and incentives to enable them to become an important part of the financial literacy programme. With this in mind, we developed the Train the Teacher programme which we hope will ensure both the desired multiplier effect, as well as the sustainability required to support the journey from financial literacy to financial capability,” said Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar, Chairman of the SC, at the launch.
Through initiatives like’Kids & Cash’ and ‘Teens & Cash’, which have been running for the past three years, the SC has reached about 90,000 students. With the commitment of the teachers and the support of their principals and the Ministry, Train the Teacher has the potential to triple that reach over the next five years.
Train the Teacher, which was piloted earlier this year on 100 teachers from Selangor and Terengganu, is part of the SC’s long-term plan to provide young kids a head start in financial literacy. It equips teachers with the tools and skills to run activity-based workshops to help children learn about money management and formulate smart spending habits in fun-filled and creative ways.
According to a post-programme survey, 95% of school children start saving or increase their savings and were able to differentiate between needs and wants when making purchases, with 64% decided to invest their money, after going through financial literacy programmes like’Kids & Cash’, ‘Teens & Cash’.
“Whilst the SC can develop and facilitate the implementation of such programmes, it is the commitment of teachers and principals and the strong support of the Ministry of Education, that will give this programme a significant multiplier effect and ensure the sustainability and reach of the SC’s initiative”, added Zarinah.

Tavi Gevinson: Style Rookie Turned Style Veteran
by Scarves Dot-Net on Mar 21, 2013 0 comments
When you were 11 years old, how did you spend your free time? While you may have been dressing Barbie dolls, Chicago-born Tavi Gevinson was acting as her own personal stylist and posting her photographed looks on her very own fashion blog. From pre-teen blogger to teenage fashion muse and editor-in-chief of her very own magazine, Tavi is an inspiration in every sense of the word.
Here at SDN, we <3 Tavi. Read on for the lowdown on her many, many achievements.
Fashion Rookie
It was the spring of 2008 and Tavi, only in middle school, was busy posting away on her blog, The Style Rookie. Much to the surprise of fashion bloggers, journalists, and designers everywhere, Tavi seemed to have a compelling gift for creating unique looks resembling something of those featured in designer lookbooks — and not so much those of a young schoolgirl. While her style was a little out there, even for the most seasoned fashionista, her creativity and spark did not go unnoticed. Just months later, Tavi was featured in an article in the New York Times, and her fame grew from there.
In 2009, she was given the opportunity to do something most only dream of. She was invited to sit front row at many shows during Fashion Week, adding further flame to her fashion-fueled fire. Since then, she has become the muse of numerous designers around the world, been featured in numerous publications for not only her style, but also her views on feminism, and has even collaborated with designers to help create their collections.
Seasoned Style Vet
Currently editor-in-chief of her own online magazine, Rookie Magazine, Tavi is the Anna Wintour of her generation. She also recently published her own book, a super fun guide on being a teenage girl, which is entitled Rookie Yearbook One. Most recently, she had the opportunity to pursue acting. She filmed her first feature film this past summer, before returning home to start her junior year of high school last fall.
Along with her career, Tavi’s style has progressed tremendously, taking her from rookie to veteran in just four years. From slightly frumpy (but still kind of cool, right?!) to high fashion, Tavi has a natural talent for finding the perfect balance between thrifted, vintage pieces and the more modern ones of today. The end result is an ultra-trendy look that is uniquely her own.
…Isn’t that what we all want?

Obituary: Chris Moncrieff, journalist, national news agency Press Assocation political editor and ‘national treasure’
Chris Moncrieff and his wife Maggie displaying his CBE outside Buckingham Palace in 1990. (Picture: PA Wire)
Published: 12:45 Friday 22 November 2019
Chris Moncrieff, journalist. Born: 9 September 1931 in Derby. Died: 22 November 2019, aged 88
Chris Moncrieff, political editor and writer for the Press Association for many years, was much more than a legendary figure among fellow journalists and politicians.
He was also declared by a British prime minister on the Great Wall of China to be a “national treasure”.
Sir John Major made the announcement to bemused Chinese government figures after saving Moncrieff from falling on a steep slope.
Sir John later recalled: “Moncrieff emerged from the mist hurtling downhill. His feet were out of control in the way his pen never is. He headed irresistibly towards the edge of the Great Wall and the drop over the side. I put out my arm to steady him and the great man was preserved for posterity.”
The then Mr Major may have embroidered the anecdote in a style resembling Moncrieff in his lighter stories.
Margaret Thatcher, a great admirer, appointed him a CBE in the 1989 New Year Honours – a rare distinction for a reporter.
Tony Blair, speaking to an audience of politicians and journalists, said as a young MP he soon realised that “Moncrieff was the gateway to the nation… the one journalist who mattered”.
When he retired as PA’s political editor in 1994, the BBC and ITV ran stories on him. He was invited to give a valedictory address at the Labour Party conference, where he reduced some leading figures to tears of laughter. There were also newspaper features and 123 MPs tabled a Commons motion recording his “enormous contribution to reporting politics and the proceedings of this House”. It was the shortest retirement on record. Next day, Moncrieff was back at his PA desk.
Although no longer in the Westminster front line, he continued to pour out a stream of profiles, background stories and analysis that enhanced the PA service.
For the first time he expressed his own views in a weekly column, published in many regional newspapers, that frequently lambasted politicians of all parties. He also embarked on a new career as broadcaster and TV personality.
“I can be quite outrageous,” he told friends delightedly. But the sentiment would have been echoed by rival reporters, who Moncrieff often scooped but never alienated, by politicians of every hue and by his colleagues at the Press Association, the national news agency, to whom he was simply their greatest journalistic asset. His stentorian tones, rugged features and vast store of Parliamentary anecdotes became familiar to viewers and listeners.
When John Profumo died, Moncrieff spent a morning rushing between TV and radio studios, giving a first-hand account of the dramatic scenes when the minister confessed to the Commons that he had lied over his affair with Christine Keeler.
Obituary: Jack Sleigh, former chairman of the Royal Highland Show and Arctic convoys veteran
In his prime Moncrieff made workaholics look like couch potatoes.An 18-hour day, seven-day week was his norm.He took just a fortnight’s holiday a year – in Hunstanton on the Norfolk coast. But if a news story broke anywhere nearby, the break would be duly interrupted.
His file of cuttings in the pre-internet PA news library was fatter than that of many of the figures he had written about.
He would begin filing political stories to PA from his home around 7am, arrive at Westminster soon afterwards, cover the day’s most important political stories plus a few light-hearted ones and seldom leave for home before the last few MPs.
He never complained when his few hours’ sleep was interrupted by a call from some minister or MP. After all, he exhorted all new MPs to phone him any hour of the day or night if they had a story.
Accuracy, speed and balance – the PA imperatives – were sacred to him. An immaculate shorthand note meant his accuracy was never successfully challenged.
His speed at rapping out a PA news alert with the bare bones of a major story, followed immediately by the full version, often put the agency vital seconds ahead of rivals, with the PA story reaching newspaper offices before their own reporters had started filing.
MPs were keen to oblige as his assistants: he was way ahead of rivals on the leadership ballot which led to Mrs Thatcher’s overthrow because a Labour MP was holding the nearest phone open to his newsdesk.
His style was classic news reporting: the most important fact and best quotes in the first few paragraphs, the details stated clearly and simply, quotes in direct speech and any interpretation clearly defined.
Tatler, the magazine for society’s dedicated followers of fashion, turned its attention to Moncrieff in 1985, describing him as “the man who launches a thousand stories”. “It’s old-fashioned journalism… Nothing is concealed in the trendy jargon of the pseudo-sophisticated Lobby correspondent,” it read. “He writes down words and sends them off down the wire, unconcerned with making great judgments. In an age of commentators, he is a reporter.”
There was no gloss or slant. Even his closest colleagues never knew Moncrieff’s own political views – he would probably have cast his vote for the candidate or party which provided the best stories.
He was unfailingly courteous. “I like to give the impression I agree with everyone,” he said. “I don’t think you get the best out of people by asking them hard questions – all I want is to get the stories out.”
Ministers and MPs knew that if they gave Moncrieff a story, within minutes it would reach newspaper, radio and TV newsrooms throughout the country and maybe the world via the PA service.
The combination of his own industry, integrity and the PA network brought him many exclusives – rarely acknowledged by national newspapers who used them under their own by-lines.
He was the undisputed master of the political offbeat story.
Moncrieff’s menagerie of backbench MPs, always ready to respond to his call for “a few of the well-chosen” on a topical issue, was a Westminster institution. They knew they would get publicity – and Moncrieff got his story.
Some reached the top: Lord Tebbit, then Moncrieff’s own MP for Chingford, met him regularly in the Royal Oak, opposite the reporter’s modest terraced home. And Mr Tebbit granted Moncrieff an interview as he recovered in the Royal Sussex Hospital following the IRA’s bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton in 1984.
The late Geoffrey Dickens eagerly accepted Moncrieff’s suggestion he take up the paedophile issue in parliament, but knew so little about it that he referred to “Fidopiles”.
Moncrieff was genuinely modest but never fawned over or flattered politicians. And although generally benign in his attitude to others, he had a way of paying off scores. Holding that one senior politician had let him down by questioning one of his stories, Moncrieff bided his time. When the same politician developed a habit of missing the train while on a whistle-stop tour, he made sure everyone got to read about it.
Described as “the man with the lived-in face and slept-in suit”, he cut a distinctive figure at Westminster and when accompanying prime ministers around the world, pockets stuffed with notebooks, bundles of newspapers under his arm.
On his appointment as PA’s chief political correspondent in 1980, The House Magazine, the weekly journal of the Houses of Parliament, wrote: “He is a one-man dynamo for whom news is food and drink is Guinness.”
US general Al Haig broke off in the middle of a news conference during the Falklands crisis to stare incredulously at Moncrieff’s crumpled trousers. “Where did you get those pants?” he asked. “From a pants shop of course,” Moncrieff retorted.
For many years Moncrieff existed on a diet of draught Guinness. A group of MPs presented him with a framed share in the company to acknowledge his contribution to its profitability. There were even rumours that a supply was smuggled into Saudi Arabia during a visit. But in 1983, in a Road to Damascus conversion, he switched to lemonade and food.
His explanation was that to enliven a Labour Party conference in Blackpool he popped into a clairvoyants’ gathering for a reading of new leader Neil Kinnock’s future. “Madame Fifi looked at me and said: ‘I’ll tell you this for nothing – if you don’t give up drink you’ll be dead within a year’,” was his version. It was probably the one time in his life Moncrieff took medical advice.
Other journalists regarded him with a mixture of affection, respect and even awe.
Invited to give the address at a memorial service in St Margaret’s, Westminster, for the political editor of the Sun, Moncrieff decided to tell anecdotes about the stories they had covered together. Soon the congregation was roaring with laughter. A group of Italian tourists, barred from entry because a memorial service was in progress, asked: “How can that be? Everyone is laughing.” At the end, Kelvin McKenzie, famed Sun editor, asked Moncrieff: “Can I book you for mine?”
He was embarrassed but pleased by the praise of his peers.
Simon Hoggart wrote in the Guardian: “Now and again wealthy newspapers would try to tempt him, but he knew that PA, which reaches every corner of the British media in minutes, was the only place for his talents. We are all immensely grateful.”
Brian MacArthur said in the Sunday Times: “Moncrieff is one of the most remarkable journalists in Britain, a political reporter whose work appears, usually uncredited, in more than 100 papers every day.”
David Chipp, the PA Editor-in-Chief who promoted him to political editor, said: “A great reporter.”
Despite his supposed retirement, Moncrieff remained a familiar face at Westminster and in 2007 a new catering area was named after him. The then 75-year-old said he was “hugely honoured” that the media bar and food area was to be called Moncrieff’s when it reopened after being refurbished. He said he was “tickled pink” at the prospect of seeing his name immortalised in the watering hole.
Christopher Wighton Moncrieff was born on 9 September 1931. He decided on a career as a journalist when other small boys were dreaming of being engine drivers.
He spent a frustrating spell in a London solicitor’s office before he landed his first job on the local paper in Harrogate.
After National Service as a lance-corporal in the Intelligence Corps he worked on the Coventry Evening Telegraph and the Nottingham Evening Post. He spent some time in France working at a fairground in Paris, a factory in Lyon and as a part-time English teacher. His adventures there, related over “a modest half”, seemed straight from the pages of Clochemerle.
He joined the PA Parliamentary staff in 1962. A year later he was sent to cover the Great Train robbery. Such was his dedication to the story that when police appealed for information about anyone who had gone missing around the time of the heist, his name was proffered by a neighbour.
Moncrieff was appointed a lobby reporter in 1973 and chief political correspondent (later political editor) in 1980.
His late wife of many years, Margaret – “my good lady Maggie” – coped with unending cheerfulness with his workaholic lifestyle and the stream of telephone calls. They had four children.

Twins star Mauer underperforming at new position
Failures this year have piled up for Mauer faster than usual
Twins star Mauer underperforming at new position Failures this year have piled up for Mauer faster than usual Check out this story on sctimes.com: http://www.sctimes.com/story/sports/2014/05/30/twins-star-mauer-underperforming-new-position/9788695/
The Associated Press, AP Published 5:56 p.m. CT May 30, 2014 | Updated 5:57 p.m. CT May 30, 2014
Joe Mauer #7 of the Minnesota Twins (Photo: Getty Images )
MINNEAPOLIS — As Joe Mauer walked back to the dugout, the bat in his hand and a sour look on his face, there were boos from the Minnesota crowd.
Mauer struck out to end the inning, with a runner on third base in the seventh on Wednesday and the Twins trailing 1-0. Everybody does this, of course, in a sport with a 30 percent success rate at the plate long proven to be a benchmark of excellence.
Failures this year have piled up for Mauer faster than usual for the six-time All-Star, three-time American League batting champion and one-time AL MVP.
"I'm a heck of a lot more frustrated than they are," Mauer said that night, when asked about those jeering fans.
The sound of those boos has been jarring, considering he's the hometown guy from St. Paul with the handsome looks and the hitting skills to build a .321 career batting average, the best among all active players in baseball with at least 3,000 plate appearances. Minnesotans are fiercely proud of and protective of their natives, so Mauer figured to have a lifetime pass in the popularity department here.
After signing that $184 million, eight-year contract extension in 2010, though, he has become a more-frequent target of criticism from fans frustrated by the team's struggles the past several years.
The 28 home runs he hit in 138 games in 2009 were a one-year wonder. Lingering lower-body injuries limited him to 82 games in 2011. This season, his on-base-plus-slugging percentage was at a career-low .704 entering the weekend series in New York. Mauer is also on pace to blow by his career-high strikeout total of 89 set last year.
"I feel pretty good actually, which is even more frustrating," he said. "I'm hitting a lot of balls hard and just not having much to show for it. So hopefully that turns here soon."
Mauer isn't the only one sputtering with the Twins. The team's batting average with runners in scoring position fell to .214, the second-worst in the league, after losing three of four games to Texas this week.
"We're putting together a lot of good at-bats but still not driving people in with runners in scoring position. That's the main focus, getting guys on, but we can't get them in," second baseman Brian Dozier said.
Mauer reluctantly gave up his job as the catcher to better protect himself from another concussion, after missing the final six weeks of last season following a foul tip that hit him in the head. The loss to the Twins of Mauer's intelligence and defense behind the plate was supposed to be trumped by an increase in his availability and production at a less-taxing position.
He missed five games with back spasms earlier this month, but since then he said he feels fine. The problem has been these paltry totals: nine extra-base hits and 15 RBIs through Thursday.
"The expectations are very high for him. People get frustrated. I just don't want Joe to get frustrated. I know he is a little bit right now, because he doesn't have the results he wants. But I don't want to put any more pressure on the guy," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I just want him to just keep being himself, keep swinging, and he'll be fine."

Assessing The Aging Bull Market For Stocks In 3 Charts
Paban Raj Pandey
The bull market in U.S. stocks is 8 years old.
After a harrowing 57-percent collapse that began in October 2007, the S&P 500 large cap index (INDEXSP:.INX) bottomed at an intraday low of 666.79 on March 6, 2009. Tuesday, it closed at 2368.39.
Table 1 is courtesy of Howard Silverblatt of S&P Dow Jones Indices, whose regular updates are a treasure trove of information.
Thirteen bull markets going back to 1932 have been listed in the table. Duration-wise, at 96 months the current one is the second longest, but in terms of performance it is the fourth most profitable. Annualized, hence, current performance fares poorly – only outperforming three others (’57-’61, ’74-’80, and ’02-’07).
But the dogged persistence shown by this bull market during which the S&P 500 more than tripled deserves a lot of praise. The combined market cap of the index went from $5.8 trillion in March 2009 to north of $20 trillion. Multiple expansion helped. Big time!
and receive our best trading ideas and research
Chart 1 below plots operating price-to-earnings ratio for the S&P 500, both trailing and forward – trailing until 4Q16 and forward from 1Q17-4Q18. On a trailing basis, things are stretched – 21x in 4Q16 (was 21.4 in 3Q16).
Things look better using forward P/E – 18.1x on ’17 earnings and 16x on ’18. The reason for the wide discrepancy between trailing and forward is because the latter remains elevated, which, given the prevailing downward revision trend, is hard to trust.
In February 2015, estimates for 2016 stood at $137.50; when it was all said and done, $106.60 was earned. Similarly, 2015 was expected to earn $137.50 in 2Q14 but ended up earning $100.45.
Even 2017 is not immune from this trend. In January last year, estimates were $141.11, versus $130.67 as of February 28 – still elevated. Not to mention $148.35 for 2018! Both 2017 and 2018 probably model in hefty corporate tax cuts.
From the valuation perspective, the problem is not just on the bottom line, but the top line as well.
From 0.8 in 1Q09 to 1.95 in 4Q16, the price-to-sales ratio for the S&P 500 companies has come a long way. (In early 2000, it was north of two.) The economy – both the U.S. as well as global – needs to do a 360 and begin to accelerate for the S&P 500 to grow into these multiples. Given the U.S. economy is just four months short of completing eight years of recovery, it is hard to bet on this outcome.
Particularly post-November 8 U.S. presidential election, stocks have been on fire. Literally. The S&P 500 rallied 12 percent in just four months. President Trump’s promise to increase infrastructure spending, cut regulations and cut taxes gave stocks a fresh tailwind.
Something else happened last November. Bulls defended the rising trend line from the afore-mentioned low in March 2009.
That trend line has been tested several times – most prominently in January/February last year. In the early weeks of 2016, stocks seemed to be unraveling, as the S&P 500 lost nearly 13 percent in three weeks, later bottoming on February 11 – an important low. See chart below.
Will the trend line be tested in the near future? Too soon to tell. The S&P 500 has come under slight pressure since gapping up on March 1 to a new intraday high of 2400.98. The index is retreating after fulfilling not one but two measured-move targets. The trend line does not get tested until around 2200, which is another seven percent. That is a lot of cushion for the bulls to work with. If they manage to save it, Charts 1 and 2 – no matter how extended – probably stay that way.

Interview: WAMG Talks To THINK LIKE A MAN TOO Composer Christopher Lennertz
By Michelle McCue for We Are Movie Geeks
Director Tim Story’s THINK LIKE A MAN TOO opens in theaters this weekend on June 20. The film is the follow-up to the hit ensemble comedy THINK LIKE A MAN and reunites the original cast, including Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Regina Hall, Gabrielle Union and Taraji P. Henson.
Story teamed up again with composer Christopher Lennertz for the film’s score.
He first made a splash with his breakout score for ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, which has grossed over $360 million worldwide. Since then he’s proven his steadfast talent with films like the star-studded HORRIBLE BOSSES, and Universal’s box office smash RIDE ALONG.
Lennertz’s other recent scores include the hit comedy IDENTITY THIEF and the critically acclaimed drama THANKS FOR SHARING with Mark Ruffalo & Gwyneth Paltrow.
While his knack for comedy is undeniable in films like THINK LIKE A MAN, he’s also contributed his unique style to many hit family films including HOP and CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE. Furthermore, he’s tapped into the indie world, scoring films like Alfred P. Sloan winner ADAM (Fox Searchlight), GIRL IN PROGRESS, and TORTILLA HEAVEN, which garnered the very first FilmMusic award for Best Independent Score.
Lennertz has written the music for NBC’s “Revolution” (J.J. Abrams, Jon Favreau) and his long time run on the series “Supernatural” led to an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Underscore, while on the video game side, he’s had hits like Steven Spielberg’s Medal of Honor series.
Lennertz has worked with legendary artists such as Basil Poledouris, Michael Kamen, Dave Grusin, Alan Menken, The RZA, and Alien Ant Farm. He has collaborated with members of Pearl Jam, The Beastie Boys, The Dave Matthews Band, Jurassic 5, and Jane’s Addiction. His groundbreaking collaboration with Ozomatli on Street Signs garnered a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock Album.
Still early in his career, he has already scored 43 feature films, 7 network series, many of the biggest interactive titles, and has spent weeks on the Billboard charts. Christopher Lennertz continually draws excitement as one of the freshest and most versatile young composers in Hollywood.
During our phone interview, Lennertz and I talked about his THINK LIKE A MAN TOO score, with its Vegas and R&B sounds, as well as his upcoming projects – the new TV project “Galavant” by Alan Menken and films HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 and Kevin Hart films, RIDE ALONG 2 and THE WEDDING RINGER.
WAMG: I recently saw the film and it’s really funny. Terrence J and Regina Hall visited St. Louis to intro the screening earlier this month. The crowd loved them and the film.
Christopher Lennertz: Oh that’s awesome. I love both of them.
WAMG: You’ve worked with director Tim Story on the first film and RIDE ALONG. It’s developed into a working partnership. When were you brought onto this project?
CL: Pretty much from the start. Tim had just finished RIDE ALONG and that’s done really well. Tim and I get along great. He said, “are you in?” and I said, “of course.” And that was that.
WAMG: One of the funniest parts of the movie includes Kevin Hart.
Cedric is the best man of the wedding, and according to Kevin Hart, he sets out to be “the best best man in the history of best men.” With that goal in mind, he spends way more money than he has on Caesars Palace’s lavish, ultra exclusive Constantine Villa. He runs around the multiroom mini-mansion that he has rented for the weekend like a kid on too much caffeine.
The title on the soundtrack is called ‘Villa Run Around Scene’ and the music is perfect for his character. It’s very frantic. Was that written specifically for him or did you compose it after seeing the footage?
CL: They shot it and I wrote it after. I saw him running around and I knew it had to be crazy. We decided in this movie to give some of his quirkiness a gospel-feel. In one scene, after he’s asked to be the Best Man, he walks away singing ‘This Little Light Of Mine’ and for some reason it just stuck in my head.
I thought it would be really funny to do Kevin’s music where he’s running around his hotel room all frenetic in a gospel way, with him clapping along with loud guitar music underneath. Along with Todd Bozung (supervising music editor) and the rest of team, it just worked out.
WAMG: The audience was crying during the scene.
CL: He’s got a couple of those moments. Obviously that one and where he’s dancing are just hilarious.
WAMG: The “POISON” Bell Biv Devoe remix with the actresses is a scream. Regina Hall mentioned how they had to go into a studio to record their voices. How much were you involved with that?
CL: The writers came up with that first. Tim (Story) decided on set to shoot it like a ‘90’s music video along with a fish-eye lensed camera. It’s great!
WAMG: There are so many good songs throughout the film. How much were you involved with that?
CL: The songs are mostly picked by the director and music supervisor. Tim also worked very closely with Mary J. Blige to pick the right music.
The songs in both movies are phenomenal, but the songs in this one work perfectly.
WAMG: There’s a heavy R&B vibe throughout… totally what you’d hear in a 60′s Hollywood Vegas movie. It has big band style brass, as well as hints of old school, Rat Pack rhythms. Where did all these varying themes come from?
CL: I talked to Tim while he was shooting and the idea was to take what we did in the first movie, which was a very R&B, Hip-Hop thing, add Vegas to that and take it up a level. So we added more brass, we definitely added some of those big moments at the casinos where we went into full Rat-Pack style. Even the romantic themes – we went even further.
We wanted all the special moments in the movie to have an even bigger impact on the audience.
We decided the whole score should have the same energy as the first one, in terms of who the characters are, but then take it up a notch because they’re in Vegas and the relationships have developed a bit. We had a great time. The brass sounds make you feel like they’re in Vegas
WAMG: What kind of instruments did you go with?
CL: The band that we went with in the original movie was made up of traditional R&B – guitar, drums, percussion, a lot of organs and pianos. Very much like a 70’s sound, but brought up-to-date. Like an Earth, Wind and Fire. Then we added a bigger, fuller horn section on this movie.
Stylistically we added writing with more of a jazzy flair for Vegas and the actual orchestra, for the sweeter parts, we went bigger with that as well.
WAMG: It’s a fun soundtrack all around with the mixture of your score and the songs from Mary J. Blige and Nikki Minaj. It’s a good interspersing of all the sounds.
CL: Thank you. I think it worked out great! I think the movie is really great. It’s just as funny, if not funnier than the first one. Then it’s got this great ending where the last ten minutes – it’s a date movie. It’s a great romantic comedy. I think guys will like it, girls will like it.
WAMG: It’s a fun summer movie.
CL: I think the release date is right and people are ready for a romantic comedy. Go see it and have fun for a night.
WAMG: What’s it like to go between film and TV?
CL: For me it’s not all that different. It comes down to schedule – TV is much faster. Writing music, whether it’s TV or film, drama or comedy or horror, it’s all the same kind of idea, it’s just getting it done. With that said, I love the idea that I can go from one thing to the next. A lot of the movies I do are action comedies like IDENTITY THIEF or HORRIBLE BOSSES and a lot of the TV I’ve done are more serious like SUPERNATURAL or REVOLUTION. It’s nice for me to be able to go back and forth. The video game “Medal Of Honor” was like a SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. I love to be able to switch around and be able to write different kinds of music. It keeps me from getting stuck or getting bored.
WAMG: You are currently working with Oscar and Tony-winner Alan Menken on ABC’s new musical comedy “Galavant”. What’s that show about?
CL: “Galavant” is a show you’ve never seen before! I’m really happy ABC is going to put it on the air because it’s really so smart, but yet hilarious. The best way to describe it basically is as if THE PRINCESS BRIDE was on TV every week as a musical.
It’s very raunchy. It’s got three new songs a week by Alan Menken who’s a god in terms of writing songs and music with all his Oscars. He’s an absolute genius. More than anything I wanted to do the show to learn from him, watch how he does things and work together on the show.
The show is absolutely hilarious. It’s got knights and kings and queens who are dancing and singing, but yet it’s very, very adult and very, very clever. A lot of innuendo and plus really quick wit. The cast is great – they all sing. People are not going to believe how good it is.
WAMG: What do you have coming up on the film side?
CL: The next one out is HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 (Warner Bros). That’s out in November. Again, that one’s even funnier than the first one.
Then after that I have a great movie called THE WEDDING RINGER (Screen Gems) that comes out in January. It’s Kevin Hart like you’ve never seen him. He teams up with Josh Gad (“Book of Mormon,” Olaf in FROZEN). Plus it also stars Kaley Cuoco (TV’s “Big Bang Theory).
In “The Wedding Ringer,” Jimmy (Hart) provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who – for whatever reason – have no one close enough to agree to stand by them on the day of their wedding. Doug (Gad) a groom-to-be, has found himself in just such a situation, but, to make matters worse, he fabricates the names of not only a best man but nine groomsmen as well. When all else fails, Doug seeks out Jimmy’s services to carry out a charade designed to make Doug look his best, but threatens to destroy everything if it fails.
Jeremy Garelick (writer of “The Break-Up”) is directing “The Wedding Ringer” from a screenplay he wrote with Jay Lavender (“The Break-Up”).
CL: It’s really along the lines, comedy-wise, of something like OLD SCHOOL or ROAD TRIP. It’s really crazy and funny. I think people are going to quote it for a long time.
The great part about it is that during the not-so-funny parts, Kevin gets to do some amazing acting at the end besides just being funny. His character is a very sweet “best friend, best man” kinda guy that really makes everybody cry. It’s pretty big and a great role for him. It’s a great movie. I think it will do really, really well.
WAMG: Tim Story is currently in pre-production on RIDE ALONG 2 (Universal has announced a January 2016 release date). Will we hear your score again in the sequel?
CL: I’m pretty sure I’m on board for that. While I haven’t officially signed up yet, Tim wants me to do it – whatever he wants me to do, I pretty much will do. The first one was so much fun. I grew up in the 90’s and I was in college when Ice Cube was so huge. He’s such a force. I’d love to do another movie with him.
The other thing with RIDE ALONG 2 is it will start shooting in about three weeks and will be even bigger and better than the first one. A lot more action, a lot more everything. They’re shooting in Miami, Atlanta, so I think it’s going to be a really big, funny movie.
The Think Like a Man Too score album will be available on June 20th on Varèse Sarabande Records.

Asteroid Belt: Facts & Formation
By Nola Taylor Redd 2017-05-05T00:51:00Z
Orbits of inner planets are shown as large circles in this computer-generated snapshot of actual known objects as of July 20, 2002. Green dots represent asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter. Red dots are asteroids that stray out of the main belt and pose a small but known possible risk of hitting Earth.
(Image: © MPC, CBAT, Harvard CfA, IAU)
Scattered in orbits around the sun are bits and pieces of rock left over from the dawn of the solar system. Most of these objects, called planetoids or asteroids — meaning "star-like" — orbit between Mars and Jupiter in a grouping known as the Main Asteroid Belt.
The Main Asteroid Belt lies more than two-and-a-half times as far as Earth does from the sun. It contains millions of asteroids, according to NASA. Most of these are relatively small, from the size of boulders to a few thousand feet in diameter. But some are significantly larger.
Early in the life of the solar system, dust and rock circling the sun were pulled together by gravity into planets. But not all of the ingredients created new worlds. A region between Mars and Jupiter became the asteroid belt.
Occasionally people wonder whether the belt was made up of the remains of a destroyed planet, or a world that didn't quite get started. However, according to NASA, the total mass of the belt is less than the moon, far too small to weigh in as a planet. Instead, the debris is shepherded by Jupiter, which kept it from coalescing onto other growing planets.
Observations of other planets are helping scientists to better understand the solar system. According to a developing theory known as Grand Tack, in the first 5 million years of the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn are thought to have moved inward toward the sun before changing direction and heading back to the outer solar system. Along the way, they would have scattered the original asteroid belt before them, then sent material flying back to refill it.
"In the Grand Tack model, the asteroid belt was purged at a very early stage and the surviving members sample a much larger region of the solar nebula," John Chambers of the Carnegie Institution for Science wrote in a "Perspectives" piece published online in the journal Science.
Our solar system isn't the only one to boast an asteroid belt. A cloud of dust around a star known as zeta Leporis looks a lot like a young belt. "Zeta Leporis is a relatively young star — approximately the age of our sun when the Earth was forming," Michael Jura said in a statement. "The system we observed around zeta Leporis is similar to what we think occurred in the early years of our own solar system when planets and asteroids were created." A professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, Jura has since passed away.
Other stars also contain signs of asteroid belts, suggesting that may be common.
At the same time, studies of white dwarfs, sun-like stars at the end of their lifetimes, show signatures of rocky material falling onto their surface that suggest such belts are common around dying systems.

Most of the asteroids in the Main Belt are made of rock and stone, but a small portion of them contain iron and nickel metals. The remaining asteroids are made up of a mix of these, along with carbon-rich materials. Some of the more distant asteroids tend to contain more ices. Although they aren't large enough to maintain an atmosphere, but there is evidence that some asteroids contain water.

Some asteroids are large, solid bodies — there are more than 16 in the belt with a diameter greater than 150 miles (240 km). The largest asteroids, Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea, are 250 miles (400 km) long and bigger. The region also contains the dwarf planet Ceres. At 590 miles (950 km) in diameter, or about a quarter of the size of our moon, Ceres is round yet is considered too small to be a full-fledged planet. However, it makes up approximately a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. [Gallery: Asteroid Pictures]
Other asteroids are piles of rubble held together by gravity. Most asteroids aren't quite massive enough to have achieved a spherical shape and instead are irregular, often resembling a lumpy potato. The asteroid 216 Kleopatra resembles a dog bone.
Asteroids are classified into several types based on their chemical composition and their reflectivity, or albedo.
C-type asteroids make up more than 75 percent of known asteroids. The "C" stands for carbon, and the surfaces of these extremely dark asteroids are almost coal-black. Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites on Earth have a similar composition, and are thought to be pieces smashed off of the larger asteroids. While C-type asteroids dominate in the belt, according to the European Space Agency, they make up only about 40 percent of the asteroids closer to the sun. These include subgroups of B-type, F-type, and G-types.
S-type asteroids are the second most common type, making up about 17 percent of known asteroids. They dominate the inner asteroid belt, becoming rarer farther out. They are brighter and have metallic nickel-iron mixed with iron- and magnesium-silicates. The "S" stands for silicaceous.
M-type asteroids ("M" for metallic) are the last major type. These asteroids are fairly bright and most of them are composed of pure nickel-iron. They tend to be found in the middle region of the asteroid belt.
The remaining rare types of asteroids are A-type, D-type, E-type, P-type, Q-type, and R-type.
In 2007, NASA launched a mission, Dawn, to visit Ceres and Vesta. Dawn reached Vesta in 2011 and remained there for over a year before traveling on to reach Ceres in 2015. It will remain in orbit around the dwarf planet until the end of its mission. [Related: Asteroid Vesta and NASA's Dawn Spacecraft]
While most of the asteroid belt is made up of rocky objects, Ceres is an icy body. Hints of organic material spotted by Dawn suggest that it may have formed farther out in the solar system before landing in the belt. While the organics have only been seen on the surface, that doesn't mean more material might lie on the dwarf planet.
"We cannot exclude that there are other locations rich in organics not sampled by the survey, or below the detection limit," Maria Cristina De Sanctis, of the Institute for Space Astrophysics and Space Planetology in Rome, told Space.com by email.
Building a belt
The Main Belt lies between Mars and Jupiter, roughly two to four times the Earth-sun distance, and spans a region about 140 million miles across. Objects in the belt are divided into eight subgroups named after the main asteroids in each group. These groups are the Hungarias, Floras, Phocaea, Koronis, Eos, Themis, Cybeles and Hildas.
Although Hollywood often displays ships making close calls through asteroid belts, the trip is generally uneventful. A number of spacecraft have safely traveled through the asteroid belt without incident, including NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto.
"Fortunately, the asteroid belt is so huge that, despite its large population of small bodies, the chance of running into one is almost vanishingly small — far less than one in a billion," wrote New Horizons principle investigator Alan Stern. "If you want to come close enough to an asteroid to make detailed studies of it, you have to aim for one."
Within in the asteroid belt are relatively empty regions known as Kirkwood gaps. These gaps correspond to orbital resonances with Jupiter. The gas giant's gravitational pull keeps these regions far emptier than the rest of the belt. In other resonances, the asteroids can be more concentrated.
Discovery of the asteroid belt
Johann Titius, an 18th-century German astronomer, noted a mathematical pattern in the layout of the planets and used it to predict the existence of one between Mars and Jupiter. Astronomers scoured the heavens in search of this missing body. In 1800, 25 astronomers formed a group known as the Celestial Police, each searching 15 degrees of the Zodiac for the missing planet. But the discovery of the first body in this region came from a nonmember, Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi: he named it Ceres. A second body, Pallas, was found a little over a year later.
For some time, both of these objects were referred to as planets. But the discovery rate of these objects increased, and by the beginning of the 19th century, more than 100 had been found. Scientists quickly realized that these were too small to be considered planets, and they began to call them asteroids.

Rebel Supernova Formed in 'Heavy Metal' Galaxy
By Elizabeth Howell 2017-08-02T10:33:42Z
An artist's impression of SN 2017egm showing the superluminous supernova's power source. The ultrabright explosion came when a massive star collapsed to form a rapidly-spinning neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field, called a magnetar. Debris from the supernova is in blue, and the magnetar is in red.

The most powerful exploding stars are popping up in unexpected places, new research indicates. It turns out that these superbright "rebel" supernovas can form in "heavy metal" areas, using elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, scientists said in the new study.
Supernovas happen when huge stars run out of fuel and collapse, creating an explosion that can briefly outshine their host galaxy. Thousands of supernovas have happened in the past decade, but only about 50 of them were "superluminous," meaning they were 100 times brighter than usual supernovas.
New research zeroes in on one supernova, called SN 2017egm, which exploded May 23 within view of the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite, which monitors star positions. If it had exploded in the Milky Way, it would have appeared as bright as the full moon does from Earth, researchers said in a statement. [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]
In fact, SN 2017egm was not only superluminous, but superclose: At just 420 million light-years away, it was three times closer than any other observed supernova of its type.
More strangely, the supernova exploded in a spiral galaxy with a high concentration of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. (These elements are called "metals" in astronomy.) Before this, researchers had found superluminous supernovas in dwarf galaxies, which have low metal content, according to the statement.
This work marks the first time astronomers have identified a superluminous supernova that exploded in a large spiral galaxy, and in a metal-rich area. So when it comes to forming these explosions, a lack of metals may not be as important as astronomers had thought.
"Superluminous supernovas were already the rock stars of the supernova world," Matt Nicholl, lead author of the study and an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said in the statement. "We now know that some of them like heavy metal, so to speak, and explode in galaxies like our own Milky Way."
The researchers also investigated what makes SN 2017egm so bright. They concluded that the supernova may be powered by a rapidly spinning dead star called a magnetar. Such ultradense, spinning neutron stars created by supernovas could continue to generate magnetic power that would heat up the expanding gas left over from the supernova.
SN 2017egm shares magnetar properties with other superluminous supernovas, but the researchers noted that the newly discovered supernova does have some differences.
For example, SN 2017egm might have ejected less mass than its supernova counterparts because its massive star might have shed mass before exploding. Also, the spin rate of SN 2017egm's magnetar may be slower than usual.
The supernova is currently invisible to astronomers because it is too close to the sun, but it will re-emerge on Sept. 16 after more than two months of obscurity.
"This should break all records for how long a superluminous supernova can be followed," Raffaella Margutti, study co-author and an astronomer at Northwestern University, said in the statement. "I'm excited to see what other surprises this object has in store for us."
The research was accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, and it is available online at arXiv.org. Nicholl's team studied the supernova on June 18 with the 60-inch (152 centimeters) telescope at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in Arizona.

WHAT “THE HANDMAIDENS CONSPIRACY” IS NOT! Waking Up To The Farce That Is “Feminism”
First, there was Dr. Jordan Peterson’s famous takedown of feminist Cathy Newman, whose debate on feminist issues has garnered almost 5 million views on YouTube and almost 75,000 comments to date, not to mention a slew of op-eds. Now, there’s President Trump’s refusal to call himself a feminist. I have high hopes that America is waking up to the farce that is feminism. “For the first time in decades, if not ever, [feminism’s] tenets are being publicly challenged,” writes Corey Schink for Sign fo the Times. It is long overdue, for we can now expose feminism for what it is: a war on men, on children, and on family. (READ MORE)
Does Modern Feminism Have A Misogyny Problem?
Feminism, in all of its forms since the sexual revolution of the 1960s, hasn’t liberated women but has instead attempted to eradicate the nature of womanhood in favor of a type of androgyny in which women function more like men, says Julie Roys, author of Redeeming the Feminine Soul: God’s Surprising Vision for Womanhood. By adhering to a “false vision of womanhood,” feminism has rejected the fullness of what women have to offer and set them on a path of self-destruction that reflects a form of misogyny prevalent in the modern movement. And churches are not immune to this, Roys adds, noting that many egalitarian and complementarian denominations practice their own forms of misogyny. (READ MORE)

Market and Economic Commentary
Fourth Quarter 2019 Market and Economic Review
by the Slaughter Associates Investment Committee
During the fourth quarter of 2019, equity markets rose significantly around the world with a few indices at or near all-time record highs. Fixed income and cash lagged as there was a definite movement of assets from these “safer categories” to the so-called “risk ON trade.”
The S&P 500 index, which tracks large U.S. companies, was one of the record setters as it moved above the 3,200-mark for the first time in history. After a dip in early October dominated by the fears of tariffs and Impeachment, higher than expected earnings and positive news on trade moved the markets up sharply the last two months to finish a tremendous year. For the quarter the S&P 500 index price was up 8.53% and up 28.88% for the year which was the indices best yearly performance since 2013.
Small US companies also moved up, but they remain off the record highs set in September of 2018. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks small U.S. companies, ended the quarter up 9.94% and up 25.52% for the year.
Many international countries depend on exports more than the US and the overseas slowdown has been more severe alongside tariff worries. Asia was concerned with the protests in Hong Kong and the possible response by the Chinese government. The widely followed and broad MSCI EAFE which follows Europe, Asia, and the Far East has still not approached its high set early in 2018, but it showed a nice rally in the fourth quarter. It ended the quarter up 8.17% and up 22.01% for the year.
Bonds lagged significantly in the quarter as money moved out of fixed income and cash to buy stocks. The yield on the 10-Year US Treasury stands at 1.88%. The national average for 30-year mortgages stands at 3.99%.
For a diversified portfolio, here is an update of benchmark returns.
* Each benchmark is allocated based on assumed Risk Profile of underlying indexes.
**Benchmarks include a mixture of ICE BofAML US 3-month Treasury Bill Index, Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, MSCI EAFE Index, and the Value Line Composite Index (Geometric). These benchmarks are the same as those in the Risk/Return and Account Analytics sections of client quarterly performance reports. By comparing your portfolio’s return to the benchmark with the closest risk/return characteristics, you get a more accurate reading of portfolio performance than using a less diversified benchmark, such as the S&P 500 index.
Worries of a US/China Trade War, Hong Kong, and worldwide recession dominated the first couple of weeks of the fourth quarter creating anxiety about future economic growth. The Presidential impeachment was a non-factor as the markets believe getting a two-thirds vote in the Senate for conviction and removal is near impossible. The markets have dealt with dysfunction in Washington for a couple of years and have grown used to it. When a preliminary deal was coming together to remove or delay Chinese tariffs and earnings came in above expectations, many economists reacted positively.
The U.S. economy grew according to the third-quarter GDP reading (the latest available) at 2.1 percent. While this is not an overwhelming growth number it is better than the 2.0 reading in the second quarter showing that the anticipated weakening and recession have not materialized.
The Federal Reserve’s three rate cuts have both “normalized the yield curve” and inspired confidence in consumers and some areas of business. A likely factor in the trend reversal in GDP, as well.
In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) has a new chair as Christine Lagarde took over for Mario Draghi on October 31st. Under Draghi, the ECB had restarted quantitative easing and was making asset purchases. It is thought that Lagarde will be more focused on European fiscal spending and try to reduce monetary stimulus. This could bring European rates out of negative territory. German GDP remains weak, but it continues to avoid recession.
In the UK, it looks like Brexit is coming sooner rather than later. The deadline is January 31, 2020. The recent elections increased Boris Johnson’s power and a Withdrawal Agreement Bill passed December 20th by a 358 to 234 vote. Assuming the bill passes the European Parliament, the UK will officially depart the European Union following a “transition period” that will require at least the remainder of the year. That transition period will be used to negotiate trading terms and moves the risk in the markets regarding a “No-Deal” on trade and security matters to the end of next year.
Japan, the third-largest economy in the world, continues its slow growth. Estimates by the International Monetary Fund anticipate a growth of 0.5%. An aging population and lack of quality replacement workers remain a great challenge.
China’s economy continued to slow, expectations are for 6-7% growth, but that is down significantly from the 14% number of a few years ago. The trade war has taken its toll on the “optimism” of the average Chinese consumer. Food has been especially hard hit with price increases that have averaged 10-15%. The cost of pork has doubled.
We will continue to monitor portfolios and make changes as appropriate. We wish all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

SLU DPT Student Grows Entrepreneurship Skills with Multiple Contests
Pitch Competitions Lead to Challenges and Growth
By: Dharti Shah (SLU DPT Class of 2017)
I entered a contest called SLU Pure Idea Generator back in September. This is hosted through the Center for Entrepreneurship. To enter, competitors had to tweet a solution to this scenario: "Pokemon Go combined augmented reality & geolocation to create the hottest game of the summer. Combining 2 technologies, what would you create to make the next big thing?"
The contest received over 150 submissions. And from those submissions, 24 participants were selected to compete. I was actually chosen as an alternate initially! When another participant dropped out of the competition, I was asked to be a finalist! The competition drew competitors from all around the Midwest, including schools such as: Iowa State University, Milliken University, and Purdue University.
Rooftop of the City Museum
On October 2nd, 2016, the 24 competitors gathered at City Museum’s rooftop. Our challenge was to come up with a solution to a prompt while taking a 20-minute ride on Big Eli, a 30 ft tall ferris wheel on top of the building. At the end of the 20 minutes, competitors would pitch their solution in one minute to a panel of judges. The competitors were allowed to bring a “brainstorm buddy” with them to bounce ideas with. I actually didn’t end up having a brainstorm buddy, I felt like given the time constraints, it might be difficult to come up with an idea that was mutually agreed upon. Dr. Mike Markee from the Athletic Training Program showed his support at the competition and came to cheer me on! It was through Dr. Markee’s class that I was told about the contest to begin with.
The prompt we were given as we walked onto the Ferris Wheel asked us to come up with an incentive program to attract and retain more students in the St. Louis area. The solution I came up with was a program called Mission STL: Sustainability. Training. Leadership. This program would allow students to be matched with the city’s best educators, health care professionals, entrepreneurs, engineers, and lawyers—any area of interest that the student wanted! They would complete a one-year intensive program for intensive skills and leadership training specific to that field of interest under the mentorship of their advisor. By generating exposure to their fields and becoming more integrated in those professional networks, students could create leadership opportunities to further their growth. As students graduate the program, it would be required that they commit to being a mentor in St. Louis for one year to future students. This pay it forward philosophy best sums up it’s potential to be a sustainable program and give students opportunities of a lifetime. Pictured below is me brainstorming while on the Ferris Wheel—it went so fast!
Dharti Shah
To my utter shock, I was announced as the first place winner of this competition! I was awarded $500 and an all-expense paid trip to the National Conference for the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO) in Tampa, Florida at the end of October! I was so humbled and honored to be given that opportunity. I looked into the conference and discovered that they were hosting an Elevator Pitch competition, so I thought, “Why not?”, and entered!
There were over 250 proposals received for the CEO Elevator Pitch contest. I was among 61 students chosen to compete! I created a hypothetical product called EchoMicro, which was an audio amplification product. I came to find out that many of my competitors had real businesses that were generating revenue or ideas that were in very late stages of development, it was so intimidating! The contest was split into 6 heats, there were 3 heats for a track that was for ideas and non-revenue generating businesses, and 3 heats for established products/businesses that were generating revenue. I was in the first track. There were 12 other participants in my heat. Two of those 10 competitors would move onto the next round, semifinals! To my surprise, I was chosen from that group to move on! It was really encouraging to have so much feedback and the support of the SLU students that were there attending the conference.
The semifinals comprised of 12 individuals, 6 from each of the aforementioned tracks. While I did not move onto the final round, it was so incredible to be among this group and at this level of the competition. I learned a lot from the conference itself, and it was a great networking opportunity to meet students from other universities and entrepreneurs that have found huge success. I was connected with a lot of people who could have a huge impact on my life and be great resources down the road!
In early November, I heard about SLU’s 5th Annual Real Elevator Pitch Competition. I decided to put myself out there and just go for it again! They were accepting 30 second videos that pitched products/companies that were in one of two tracks: Nonprofit/Social Impact and For Profit. I entered submissions for both tracks—my for profit idea was the same product, EchoMicro, that I pitched at the conference in Tampa and my nonprofit/social impact idea was for a hypothetical health and wellness app called All is WELLness. I found out that All is WELLness was accepted, and once again opportunity knocked!
5th Annual Real Elevator Pitch Competition
On December 4th, 2016, 24 competitors came to the Metropolitan building in downtown St. Louis in which we would pitch our idea 12 separate times in real elevators. There were 3 banks of elevators, all of which operated at different speeds. The total length for the rides was about 40-45 seconds, this was consistent for all the banks of elevators.
How the competition was set up was that there was were about 30 judges total they would be split into the 12 elevators. Each judge was given 8 business cards total. They were instructed that they could offer 6 business cards to any of the competitors immediately after hearing their pitch. The last 2 business cards could be handed out at the end of the round after they had the opportunity to listen to all 12 pitches in that track. There were no stipulations on how many cards the judges could hand out per competitor. The top three competitors in each track with the most business cards would then do one final pitch to two VIP judges in a Tesla ride around the block.
The competitors were split into their different tracks, and began this fast paced process! The 12 competitors in my track each took 12 elevator rides and did 12 pitches in the matter of 15 minutes. In each elevator were 1-2 judges who were deciding if our pitches would “WOW” them in a real life setting. This was a tough process, it went so fast! If you had any mis-steps with your pitch, you couldn’t dwell on it, because immediately when the elevator doors opened you had to step into the next elevator and start fresh to a new set of judges. I happened to be put in the bank of elevators that went the fastest in my first round, my ears popped on every ride and I couldn’t even hear what I was saying! The final two banks were must easier after that.
After the 12 pitches in the elevators and after the judges had the opportunity to hand out their final two cards, we gave over the business cards we collected for them to be counted. If I had to throw out a number, I think I collected about 17 business cards total.
Left to right: Dharti Shah, Erin Dabbs, & Caleigh Bemont
They announced the top 3 in alphabetical order, and again to my disbelief, I was in that top 3! I was joined by Caleigh Bemont from the University of Iowa (right) and Erin Dabbs (center) from the University of Nebraska-Omaha. We each took our Tesla rides individually and gave our pitches one last time. The VIP judges had a combined net worth of 1.4 billion dollars. This ride around the block was a little longer, so the judges had the opportunity to ask us questions for clarification. After listening to all three pitches, they determined the ranking for the prizes. This happened for the top 3 competitors in both tracks.
I ended up taking 2nd place in the Nonprofit/Social Impact track! I was awarded $1,500! What I was even more excited to see was that 5 of the 6 winners (top 3 from each track) were women!
All in all, this semester has been one of challenges and growth, but I’m happy that I found the courage to put myself out there! These opportunities have opened a lot of doors and have really helped me develop professionally in so many ways. I viewed these opportunities as a way from me to work on my communication skills and presence while speaking to others. The thing that I will take away from these contests was the opportunity to learn and have fun—and that to me is more valuable than any money!

Plaque highlights a slice of history
A crowd of people gathered in the rain to celebrate the unveiling of a commemorative plaque marking the site of Swindon's first free school. Six years of campaigning paid off when Swindon mayor David Cox unveiled the 12-inch plaque on the side wall of Monahans chartered accountants in Newport Street, Old Town. It reads: "Near here stood Swindon's first free school, opened circa 1764. In 1836 it was replaced on the same site by the National School, itself closed in 1870 and demolished in 1962."
Relatively few people know about the history of the school, which was attended by Swindon author Richard Jefferies in the 1860s, or indeed, the fact that it ever existed. While the plaque's arrival commemorates the original site of the building, it is also an important factor in educating Swindon's youth. Coun Cox said: "It is important to learn about the history of Swindon. When we find these factors we should commemorate them, not just for us now but also for people who come after us to see and know.
"It's a grand job for the people of Swindon."
The plaque replaces its predecessor, a six foot long concrete sign, and is located sufficiently high enough to avoid vandalism, but low enough to read.

Tulix: 2015 Online Video Industry Prediction
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings recently made waves in the media by asserting that linear TV will cease to exist by 2030. Just a few years ago, that claim would have been met with a lot of skepticism, but in light of recent developments (e.g. HBO offering a stand-alone OTT service), it no longer seems as far-fetched.
Tulix has been in the streaming industry from the beginning, and we have grown from offering personal streaming services to providing end-to-end streaming solutions to broadcasters and content owners, including content delivery and applications on all major connected devices.
To many of our customers, our service used to be an afterthought. Streaming was something to complement their broadcasts on traditional media. Today, the picture looks very different. Our customers want to be on every device, and some have done a complete change of direction by focusing entirely on streaming as part of their strategy.
The latter group may not be the norm yet, and 2030 may not be the year that broadcast TV dies, but it certainly seems that momentum is shifting. Our responsibility is to help customers navigate the ever-changing landscape of this industry and enable them to provide a superior experience to viewers by leveraging all of the benefits streaming has over traditional media.

Homelessness in Nashville spikes 10 percent
Increase was the sixth largest among major U.S. cities.
Homelessness in Nashville spikes 10 percent Increase was the sixth largest among major U.S. cities. Check out this story on Tennessean.com: http://tnne.ws/2hFDJca
Joey Garrison, jgarrison@tennessean.com Published 11:50 a.m. CT Dec. 14, 2016 | Updated 9:06 p.m. CT Dec. 14, 2016
Marilyn Dickerson sits outside the Room in the Inn on Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2016, in Nashville. "Me and my husband were going from Jackson to Florida to start all over and we had our car stolen. We ended up between here and the mission. My hope is to get out of this situation," she said.(Photo: Lacy Atkins / The Tennessean)
Two weeks ago, Marilyn and Wayne Dickerson loaded up their 1997 Ford Escort en route to Florida. The Jackson, Tenn., couple had planned on making the Sunshine State their new home. But things took a drastically wrong turn during a pit stop in Nashville when their car was stolen.
The vehicle recently popped up, but they can't afford the fee to retrieve it from a towing company. That's forced them to try to make do in Nashville.
Marilyn has found a bed to sleep at Room in the Inn downtown. Wayne hasn't been so lucky and has spent his nights on the street.
"Every city's got places that will feed the homeless, but we've not seen anybody that will help us get our stuff back so we can pick up the pieces of our broken lives and start over," Wayne Dickerson said.
“It takes a one-time event and things start spiraling out of control," Marilyn Dickerson said. "It don’t seem like Christmas.”
Homelessness in Nashville rose 9.8 percent from 2015 to 2016, according to a new national study — the sixth-largest leap among major U.S. cities.
Meanwhile, two out of five homeless people in Nashville, or 40.3 percent, are experiencing chronic homelessness — defined as lacking shelter while also having repeated medical issues, mental illness, substance abuse disorders or remaining homeless for long stretches. That percentage tops all cities.
The sobering findings are detailed in the 2016 United States Conference of Mayors' Hunger and Homelessness Survey released Wednesday. The 34th annual study, conducted through a partnership with the National Alliance to End Homelessness, included participation from 39 cities. Nashville's data was compiled by the Metro Development and Housing Agency in June.

Everyone has their own story.
The numbers illustrate a homeless struggle in Nashville that has worsened even as the city prospers economically on many fronts. Rising housing and rent prices in Nashville have made housing affordability more elusive than ever, forcing more people to the streets, homeless advocates say.
Figures are based on a single-day, point-in-time count of homeless individuals in Nashville taken Jan. 28 and compared with a single-day count from the previous year.
Nashville homelessness jumps 5 percent, report says
In all, 2,365 people in Nashville were counted as homeless in January, with 1,692 counted as being sheltered and 673 classified as unsheltered.
Nashville's latest year-over-year increase is nearly double the 5 percent jump that occurred from 2014 to 2015. Only Austin, Texas; Oklahoma City; Washington D.C.; Cambridge, Mass.; and Los Angeles had greater overall homeless percentage increases than Nashville's 9.8 percent jump.
Homelessness in Nashville has cumulatively risen by 5.8 percent since 2009. That's counter to the national count, which has declined by 12.9 percent over that same time and 2.6 percent from 2015 to 2016.
Other statistics in the report related to Nashville include:
Nashville saw a 17.6 percent increase in homeless individuals, fourth overall, behind only St. Louis, Austin and Cambridge. Individuals are defined as homeless people who are not with families.
Nashville has seen the second-highest spike in the U.S. since 2009 in percentage in unsheltered homelessness — 69.1 percent — and the third-highest since last year, 43.3 percent.
At 77.8 percent, Nashville has the second-highest homeless population that is male, trailing only Atlanta.

In a statement, Mayor Megan Barry called increasing Nashville's supply of affordable housing and providing resources to those experiencing homelessness a "top priority" for her administration.
"While the numbers provided in this report are disheartening, I am grateful for all of the community partners who have stepped up to create a safe, warm and welcoming environment for the unhoused," Barry said. "Over the coming year, and during the budget cycle, we will continue to seek out more opportunities to provide housing options and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Nashville.”

MDHA spokesman Jamie Berry said additional scouting by skilled outreach workers ahead of January's homeless count accounted for some of the increase in unsheltered homeless reported.
"There was more outreach, and they covered more ground," Berry said.
Samuel Lester, street outreach and advocacy coordinator for Open Table Nashville, a nonprofit that assists the homeless, agreed with the report's conclusion that homelessness is on the rise in Nashville. But he said the real figure is drastically higher than the point-in-time sample suggests in the report.
Lester estimated that as many as 23,000 people in Nashville are experiencing homelessness when taking into account individuals who are in shelters and transitional housing, as well as some 10,000 parents and students who he said are homeless.
He attributed the spike to an increase in Nashville's average cost of rent. The average rent for a one-bedroom unit has increased from $915 a month to $1,129 over the past two years, according to data on rentjungle.com.
"The lack in affordable housing, I think, is the main reason we're seeing this," Lester said.
Findings aren't all negative for Nashville in the new report.
The percentage of homeless people in Nashville who are veterans is 9.7 percent. Though that is higher than the national average of 7.2 percent, Nashville has seen a 38.2 percent decrease in homeless veterans since 2011. The Metro Homelessness Commission recently outlined a goal of ending homelessness among veterans by the end of 2017.
The percentage of homeless families in Nashville decreased by 24.9 percent from 2015 to 2016.
Nashville distributed 7.7 million pounds of food to people in need, a 6 percent increase from last year.
This past year, Barry's administration faced criticism from many in Nashville's homeless community when it enforced a no-encampment policy at Fort Negley, a city park, to disband a large homeless camp.

Metro is searching for a new director of the Metro Homelessness Commission after Will Connelly, who held the post for nearly four years, left last month for a job in Denver.
Efforts to combat homelessness from Barry's administration have included new funding to establish a Nashville Outreach Team for Encampments to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with housing and other resources. Metro also has overseen a program called How's Nashville, which, according to the mayor's office, has increased housing for the chronically homeless from 19 a month to 55 per month.
Barry this year led the infusion of $10 million in additional funding to the Barnes Fund for Affordable Housing. There are 500 affordable and workforce units either built or under construction as a result of the Barnes Fund or other Metro-assisted initiatives.
At-large Metro Councilman Jim Shulman, a former chairman of the board of Safe Haven, a Nashville nonprofit that serves homeless families, said it makes sense that homelessness would rise as Nashville's overall population grows.
"I worry that we don't have a good short-term or a long-term solution to dealing with this," Shulman said. "We've been focused on affordable housing, but that's for people who are trying to find housing and have incomes. Now we're dealing with people who probably don't have any income."
In a letter to the mayor's office, Shulman recently raised concerns about Metro's community response plan for cold weather, which outlines the protocol to provide shelter for homeless people during freezing temperatures.
"The problem with the plan is: Do people know what the plan is and does it work?" Shulman said. "I think there's a feeling that it doesn't work. And if it doesn't work then we all need to get back together and figure out how to make it work."

TN high court OKs lethal injection

TN high court OKs lethal injection The Wednesday ruling could allow executions to resume in the state. Check out this story on Tennessean.com: http://tnne.ws/2nAjCxO

Tennessee Supreme Court(Photo: Larry McCormack / File / The Tennessean)
The state Supreme Court’s message Wednesday to murderers condemned to die was simple: It doesn’t have to be pain-free or quick and you don’t get a second shot at life if the first attempt doesn’t do the job.
“The intended result of an execution is to render the inmate dead,” wrote Chief Justice Jeffrey Bivins in an opinion upholding the state’s latest procedure to execute the condemned via one shot of pentobarbital.
The decision puts to rest a yearslong battle, led by the federal defenders for Union County killer Stephen Michael West and nearly three dozen more death row inmates, over the way the men should be put to death.
West, who stabbed and raped a teenage girl in front of her mother and then killed the mother, has been on death row since 1987. Billy Ray Irick, a Knox County man who raped and killed a 7-year-old girl, has been awaiting death since 1986. Both have had execution dates set and then delayed. Wednesday’s decision will prompt a new date with death for each of the defendants involved in the challenge to lethal injection, but attorneys vowed an appeal, so no executions are on the horizon.
Kelley Henry, a member of the legal team representing the inmates and a supervisory assistant federal public defender in Nashville, said the inmates will seek an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which does not have to accept it.
"Tennessee stands alone in requiring a contract with a pharmacist who must agree to violate state and federal drug laws in order to comply with the protocol," she said. "We will be seeking review of this novel protocol in the United States Supreme Court."
Two inmates involved in the case have already died of natural causes.
West, 54, broke into Wanda Romines’ house in the Big Ridge community of Union County in March 1986 just after her husband left for work. She was cooking breakfast for her 16-year-old daughter, Sheila Romines. He and friend were drunk and looking to rape someone. The friend, Ronald David Martin, 17, knew Sheila.
The teenager was repeatedly raped in front of her 51-year-old mother, who watched her daughter being stabbed to death before she herself suffered that fate.
Irick, 58, was supposed to be babysitting Paula Kay Dyer, 7, at her Knox County home while her mother was at work in April 1985. Irick was a neighbor. The mother was desperate for a sitter. He was drunk and high. He raped Paula and then strangled her.
Their convictions have long since been upheld as legally sound, and their executions approved as appropriate punishment for their crimes. So, too, has the method of their deaths been upheld, even by the nation’s highest court.
But in 2013, Assistant Federal Defenders Stephen Kissinger and Helen Suzanne Best filed a legal challenge to the state’s latest procedure on lethal injection on behalf of West that was soon joined by Irick and the other condemned men.
That court action began in Davidson County Chancery Court. It has proven a mess of legal wrangling and delays, prompting appeals and even two interventions by the Tennessee Supreme Court itself.
Surrounding those courthouses was a public debate on the death penalty, growing numbers of exonerated death row inmates, a few high-profile botched executions and a scandal over how prisons were acquiring lethal drugs. Tennessee had a three-drug protocol. The state eventually switched to a single drug — pentobarbital.
Pentobarbital is a sedative that puts an inmate to sleep and eventually stops the heart — if it is administered correctly and in a high enough dosage.
But the state, like others across the nation, couldn’t get the drug in its pure form if it intended to use it for executions. Tennessee, like other states, turned to what’s known as a “compounded” form of the drug, essentially a generic version using powdered pentobarbital, water and a few chemicals. No batch is exactly the same.
The inmates’ attorneys argued there was no guarantee the condemned men weren't suffering “cruel and unusual” deaths barred by the U.S. and Tennessee constitutions under the state’s current lethal injection protocol.
They made an argument already echoed in courtrooms across the country and one that typically angers their victims’ survivors: the killers might experience pain if something goes afoul with the drug's administration or if the drug itself is contaminated or out of date, and the killers might not be dead after one dose but still declared so.
Dr. David A. Lubarsky, an anesthesiologist and University of Miami professor, said he studied the executions of eight inmates in Arizona and “a couple” still showed brain activity after being declared dead. But he also admitted the dose used by the Tennessee Department of Correction is high enough to kill with a single shot. Tennessee queues up two shots for each execution, just in case.
The state’s high court listed entire sections of the state’s 98-page lethal injection protocol designed to ensure no mistakes occur. The injection machine is supposed to be tested once a month with saline to ensure it’s not clogged. The drug — the source of which is kept secret from the public by state law — is to be stored properly with labels attesting to expiration dates.
There’s no guarantee the Department of Correction won’t foul up the process, but the possibility the state’s execution team might make mistakes isn’t enough to spare the lives of the condemned, the high court ruled.
“We hold that these mere possibilities are not sufficient to satisfy the plaintiffs‘ burden to establish a substantial risk of severe pain,” Bivins wrote.
The court also rejected claims of an unconstitutional “lingering death” because it might take the condemned as much as an hour to die or that they could be revived.
“Respectfully, we decline to hold that a lethal injection protocol that causes unconsciousness within seconds violates the Eighth Amendment because it may take an hour or more for the inmate‘s heart to cease all electrical activity or because there may be some possibility that the inmate could be resuscitated after being declared dead,” Bivins wrote.
The opinion covered little new legal ground. It is replete with passages from similar rulings across the country and by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Executions in Tennessee have been stayed while the legal challenge was pending. The last execution in the state was in 2009.

Now Reading: Groups Urge End to Tasers, Pepper Spray in Schools
Groups Urge End to Tasers, Pepper Spray in Schools
Cedar Creek High School students stage a walkout in honor of 17-year-old Noe Nino de Rivera, who was tased by a school security officer. SuperHope12/YouTube
Patrick Michels Dec 9, 2013, 2:23 pm CST
Noe Nino de Rivera is still in a coma after being tased by a campus police officer at Bastrop’s Cedar Creek High School last month. The 17-year-old had been in the middle of a fight—which he may have been trying to break up—when a “school resource officer” shocked him and he fell, hitting his head. (The boy’s parents have since sued the school district over the incident.)
A handful of groups led by the ACLU of Texas have noted there’s no statewide standard guiding Taser use by school cops, and in a letter sent last week, they asked the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to create one—by banning the use of Tasers, and pepper spray, on students.
Private security firms, in-house school police departments, city or county police and even undercover school marshals all provide for some measure of school security across the state, each with their own standards of force. But the groups that signed on to last week’s letter focused on creating a new guarantee for students in Texas schools.
“Schools should be safe havens from this type of police use of force,” said ACLU of Texas Executive Director Terri Burke in a statement. Disability Rights Texas, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Texans Care for Children, Texas Appleseed, and the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition all joined on to the letter.
The popularity of “non-lethal” weapons like Tasers and pepper spray is just one piece of a much larger problem all those groups have been fighting for a long time: the school-to-prison pipeline that turns public schools—especially those in poor, nonwhite neighborhoods—into harsh, brutalizing institutions in the name of discipline and safety.
But as the Houston Chronicle‘s James Pinkerton wrote last week, many school officers see Tasers and pepper spray as important tools for their jobs:
The use of Tasers and pepper spray was defended by Chief C.A. “Chuck” Brawner, of the Spring Branch Independent School District police force, who said nonlethal weapons are necessary so officers don’t have to use firearms or nightsticks on unarmed students. His officers do not use Tasers but carry pepper spray and have used the caustic agent twice on students since 1987, Brawner confirmed.
“When you take away the pepper spray and you take away the Taser, what do you have left?” Brawner said. “What if there are several people and you have one officer and they can’t control them and they could get away and cause other problems, how do you stop them? When you start taking away other options other than a firearm or a nightstick, what else are you going to use?”
Other officers mentioned in the Chronicle story suggest better training helps to avoid misuse of Tasers or pepper spray against children. Houston ISD police have a pepper foam, which is less likely to hit bystanders, and have used it nine times in the last two years.
Even concerns about Tasers in school are nothing new. In 2006, Florida lawmakers introduced bills banning stun-gun use on children after officers stunned a 6-year-old boy “who was wielding a piece of glass in a principal’s office”—but the bills never made it out of committee.
In September, four Fort Worth-area police departments suspended Taser use, after their lawyers suggested they could be held liable for injuring people with the stun guns. One department has since lifted its ban.
The ACLU’s letter makes what seems to be a reasonable suggestion, that weapons like Tasers and pepper spray are even more dangerous to children than they are to adults, though that’s still an open question in academic research. The good people at National School Safety and Security Services note it’s “unlikely that there will ever be such a strong body of research reflecting real-life ‘tests’ actually on children/adolescents since ethical implications of scientific testing and the vast majority of parents will understandably not permit such testing.”
Unfortunately, there’s a growing sample size for any researchers who want to look into Texas schools. In a footnote, the letter lists 19 local news stories about Taser or pepper-spray use against students in just the last six years. Of course, many more aren’t even reported.

The meeting which turned the Dogs' season around
AFL 2019
By Daniel Cherny
August 24, 2019 — 10.00pm
Western Bulldogs star Jack Macrae has revealed details of a mid-season meeting in which players vowed not to quietly play out the season, looking forward to the September holidays.
The Dogs headed to the mid-season bye with four wins from 11 games, and having lost seven of their previous nine, sitting 14th on the ladder with commentators consigning them to a third successive season out of the finals since the fairytale 2016 premiership.

But fast forward less than three months, and a finals berth is Luke Beveridge’s side to lose. The Dogs have won seven of 10 matches since returning from the short break, including thrashing top-eight sides Essendon and Greater Western Sydney in rounds 21 and 22 respectively.
The Dogs’ destiny is in their own hands, and a win over Adelaide in Ballarat on Sunday will secure finals for the men from Whitten Oval.
Macrae — who is in All-Australian contention after another prolific campaign in which he has played every game and is averaging more than 33 disposals — told the Sunday Age that captain Easton Wood and his deputy Marcus Bontempelli had stressed the importance of the Dogs taking care of themselves over the mid-year break, portending that 2019 was not yet a write-off.
“Until you’re mathematically out, you always have that belief. And especially with a group like ours, I feel like when we have a bit of momentum we’re a very strong team. I think it’s something that’s been very exciting for me to see, for the team," Macrae said.

"Maybe halfway through the year a few other teams may have accepted the season’s not going the way they wanted to, and we’re very proud of the way we’ve managed to turn that around, and as I touched on, have the destiny in our own hands of playing in finals.
“Over the bye week, we made a really strong point as a group to really look after ourselves over the bye, and really look to attack the second half of the year really strong. I remember Bonty just touching on that, that we don’t know how much we can achieve as a group and it’s really important to mentally and physically refreshed but come back really strong after the bye, and we obviously did that, and have performed really well since the bye.
“[The message was] ‘We can do a lot of damage in the back half of the year. We’re not going to be a group that quietly plays out the season, and looking forward to the September holidays or anything like that’.”
Macrae’s own role in the resurgence shouldn’t be understated. With Bontempelli and Josh Dunkley also firing, the Dogs’ midfield is being spoken of as arguably the strongest in the league.
The humble and understated Macrae, who said his 700-disposal season had been “pretty pleasing,” hailed the way Dunkley and Bontempelli conducted themselves both on and off-field.
“If anything, the internal competition, you just see how well those guys play and it just makes you strive to be a better person and a better player as well,” Macrae said.
“Internally, I rate us extremely highly, but week to week if you don’t turn up you can be beaten if you don’t show respect to the opposition.”
Macrae downplayed the importance of the 2016 triumph in helping this group of players. However for Macrae more than others at the club, a reminder of the 2016 flag comes regularly.
Along with defender Zaine Cordy, Macrae is studying a bachelor of business at Victoria University. Premiership hero Tom Boyd, who retired earlier this year following mental health issues, is also doing the course.

“Me and Zaine still see him a few times a week. It’s been good in that sense to keep in consistent contact with him. For us especially, it feels like he hasn’t left us at all in that sense. It’s been pretty good.
“Every time we catch up with him he’s very keen to talk about the club. He has great memories of the club.
“He’s a great footy mind as well. He’s been watching all the games and keeping in close contact.”
Macrae, who conceded that, as a quiet person, he isn't a "natural-born leader," added that he'd been working on being more vocal given he was now one of the most senior players at the club despite only turning 25 earlier this month.

FREELAND: USMCA a well-balanced outcome
Published: Oct 19, 2018 at 5:43 p.m.
Updated: Oct 20, 2018 at 8:16 a.m.
Prime Minister Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland prepare for a press conference in Ottawa following the conclusion of USMCA negotiations. - Adam Scotti
The United States Mexico Canada Agreement is an updated, modernized North American trade agreement that is good for Canada and good for Canadians.
It is the result of Canada being tough at the negotiation table, united at home, and getting the job done.
Canada negotiated hard. We stayed strong, even when some were urging capitulation. We held out for a good deal, and we got a good deal. Canadians can be justly proud of this.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which represents 200,000 businesses of all sizes across our country, has strongly welcomed the United States Mexico Canada Agreement. So has Unifor, Canada’s largest labour union. That is a well-balanced outcome.
Consider the facts: in the face of possible and widespread disruption to our integrated North American economy, we have protected more than $2-billion a day in cross-border trade and tariff-free access for more than 70 per cent of Canadian exports. Every Canadian whose livelihood relies on trade — which is most of us — benefits from the renewed certainty.
This agreement is good news for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who work in the auto industry, and indeed for all Canadian workers. That’s because the agreement preserves crucial cross-border auto supply chains, and improves wages and labour rights for Mexican workers, which levels the playing field for workers here at home. The car industry now has stability and room to grow and thrive.
This agreement is good for Canadian exporters. It preserves Canada’s preferential access to the U.S. market, while updating and modernizing the agreement for the 21st century, in areas such as digital trade, telecommunications, and anti-corruption. These changes have not been headline news, but they will make a real difference to Canadian businesses, by making trade easier.
Together with Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) in Europe and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in the Pacific, the USMCA means Canada now has tariff-free access to 1.5 billion consumers around the world. For a nation of traders and exporters, this represents an enormous opportunity.
In a relationship like that between Canada and the United States, where one partner is economically so much larger, rules matter. And we need to make sure the rules can be enforced. The USMCA retains, in its entirety, the impartial dispute system — an independent tribunal that judges disagreements — which Canada fought so hard to include in the original NAFTA. These tribunals are what our forestry workers have long used to protect their jobs from unjust trade actions. Keeping them was essential. It was hard to do. But we did it. And that is a win for Canada.
And, the agreement helps strengthen Canada’s identity and culture, and an independent Canadian media. The cultural exemption, which helps safeguard 650,000 jobs in cultural industries, has been protected.
The USMCA is good for Canadian farmers. It preserves tariff-free access to the U.S. market for Canadian ranchers and grain farmers. And it maintains supply management in dairy, eggs and poultry. With CETA, CPTPP and the USMCA moving forward, supply management is preserved.
Changes to the dairy sector are roughly in line with changes made in CETA and CPTPP, and we will fully and fairly compensate our farmers. The government is establishing a working group, in partnership with the dairy industry, to ensure its vitality long into the future.
The USMCA is good for Canada’s energy sector. The existing NAFTA contained a clause that infringed on Canadian sovereignty by preventing our country from controlling where we sell our energy resources. That clause is gone. The sector will also benefit from administrative improvements that will save the energy sector more than $60 million a year in duties and other fees.
And this agreement is good for the environment. It contains a new environment chapter, with strong, enforceable standards for clean air and water.
In the same vein, the USMCA supports women’s rights and minority rights. Indeed the labour chapter contains the toughest enforceable measures upholding gender and minority rights in any Canadian trade agreement.
Likewise, this agreement is positive for Indigenous peoples. The renegotiated NAFTA contains language that recognizes and upholds the unique role of First Nations, Metis and Inuit in protecting and preserving the environment.
Perhaps one of the achievements I’m most proud of is that the investor-state dispute resolution system, which in the past allowed foreign companies to sue Canada, will be gone. This means that Canada can make its own rules, about public health and safety, for example, without the risk of being sued by foreign corporations. Known as ISDS, this provision has cost Canadian taxpayers more than $300 million in penalties and legal fees.
The road to a successful agreement in principle with the United States and Mexico was not easy, or free from drama. Nor is any deal of this kind ever perfect. That’s the nature of negotiations.
As Canadians take stock and move forward, we can rest assured of one thing: Team Canada, including key players from across the country and from across the political spectrum, maintained a united front.
We hung together. We stayed strong. And we succeeded.
Chrystia Freeland is Canada’s minister of Foreign Affairs.

WSP team wins Toronto tolling study
New York interstate to be turned into a boulevard
WSP to buy Louis Berger in $400m deal
Colorado to turn I-70 into ‘connected roadway’
Michigan awards $224m highway upgrade
Fluor and ACS land US-Canada bridge
A team headed by WSP is to look at the potential for implementing high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on five key highways in Toronto, Canada.
The work will be carried out by WSP MMM in collaboration with WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, Cima Canada and TSS-Transport Simulation Systems.
The team will look at the feasibility of HOT lanes and will build business cases for the schemes. The five highways are the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and Highways 400, 401 (west), 404 and 410.
HOV lanes are lanes reserved for cars with two or more passengers. The idea now is to allow cars that do not have the right number of passengers to use these reserved lanes, but for a fee.
“We are at the very beginning of the process, but we know that one of the most important challenges is to find the balance between improving traffic and increasing revenues,” says Michael Chiu, vice president, transportation at WSP MMM and the project manager of the study.
The difficulty is to determine what will be a reasonable price and how it will be charged. “There are a lot of data to analyze,” said Chiu.
WSP MMM has to look at different pricing mechanisms and different technologies. For example, an automatic plate recognition system means the installation of a whole network of cameras while electronic transponders lead to another technological choice. Moreover, Chiu’s team needs to determine if the price will be identical on all roads, and at all times. They will look at dynamic pricing, which means that the price of a specific ride could change with the degree of congestion on the adjacent general-purpose lanes. “We have 16 months to finalize the feasibility study, including preliminary design,” he added.

Nearly 90 firefighters died while on duty in 2016: report
Emmitsburg, MD — Eighty-nine firefighters were killed on the job in 2016, compared with 90 in 2015 and 94 in 2014, according to the U.S. Fire Administration’s recently released annual report detailing on-duty firefighter fatalities.
Among the 2016 fatalities, 56 came from the volunteer ranks, 23 were career firefighters and 10 were part of wildland agencies.
The leading cause of fatalities was “stress/overexertion” (43) – a category that includes heart attacks and strokes. Heart attacks were the most common cause of firefighter death, resulting in 40 fatalities.
The second-leading cause was vehicle-related crashes (19 fatalities) – the most in that category since 28 in 2008. Nine firefighters died during training activities.
The report defines “on duty” as “being involved in operations at the scene of an emergency” – fire or non-fire incident; responding to or returning from an incident; performing other official duties such as training, investigations or maintenance; or being on call or on standby (except at an individual’s home/business).
The youngest firefighter to die in 2016 was 20 years old; the oldest was 79.
USFA, which has tracked firefighter fatality data for 40 years, points out in the report that firefighting is “an inherently dangerous profession” but notes that “the risks can be greatly reduced through efforts to improve training, emergency scene operation, and firefighter health and safety.”

Turbomeca Arrius to power new Norwegian air-ambulance fleet
Le Bourget, Paris Air Show, 16 June 2015
Norwegian Air Ambulance (Norsk Luftambulanse AS) has selected Turbomeca's (Safran) Arrius 2B2Plus engine to power its three new Airbus Helicopters H135.
Signed at the Paris Airshow, this agreement marks the first step of a new collaboration with one of Europe's major medical airlift service provider.
bnpix / Safran
Franck Saudo, Turbomeca Executive Vice President Support & Services, said: "We are proud to be part of this continuing effort to provide medical assistance to the Norwegian people. Norwegian Air Ambulance is recognized for its expertise and its focus on introducing new products and services. The Arrius 2B2Plus combines state-of-the-art technology with best–in-class reliability. Its selection confirms the competitive advantage of our solution for the light and medium helicopter market."
Norwegian Air Ambulance CEO, Syver Leivestad, said: "We decided to switch to the Arrius 2B2Plus on our new H135 because it delivers lower operating costs. It will allow our crews to operate with extra confidence in the most demanding mission environments."
Specifically developed to power light helicopters, the Arrius 2B2Plus was certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in September 2014.
The 2B2Plus is the latest member of the Arrius family which, with seven million recorded flight hours, is the most popular engine of its class. In addition to its unmatched reliability, its advantages over the earlier 2B2 variant include a six per cent power increase in hot and high conditions. This strongly contributes to the H135's ability to carry more payload at the same altitude.
To date, Turbomeca has delivered more than 3,000 Arrius engines to 430 customers in 60 countries.

Stephanie Zacharek writes about her favorite movie for Salon's Personal Best issue.
Stephanie Zacharek
March 22, 1997 1:00AM (UTC)
there's almost no movie that makes me as wistful as "Holiday" does, and I can't figure out exactly why. Even after it's over -- even after I know that disaster's been averted, that Cary Grant didn't futz up and choose the wrong partner -- I still feel unsettled, as if the movie has somehow cut too close for comfort. It's not that I fear for the future happiness of Grant and Hepburn; once I've seen them execute a jazzy dual somersault, I know there's no turning back for them. It's just that a mantle of sadness hangs over this most stylish of comedies -- weightlessly, like a silken web -- and afterward, I always feel as if it's quietly drifted onto me, too. "Holiday" never cheers me up, but it always opens me wide.
With characteristic ease, director George Cukor poses some big questions -- What do you want out of life, and whom do you want around you while you do it? -- but he's so nonchalant about it, they dissolve like cigarette smoke in the air. Grant's freewheeling Johnny Case thinks he's fallen for heiress Julia Seton, as perfect and cold as a diamond, but it's Julia's sister Linda (Hepburn) who's his soul mate. Johnny's plan is to retire young and have fun, but Julia and her father want him to go the big-business route. He almost complies, before he realizes that Linda -- who's not just stifled by her upper-crust lifestyle but almost destroyed by it -- is the one who completes him.
It may be that "Holiday" scares me a little: I love it not just for its wit and its tenderness, but for its ruthlessness. Adapted from a play by Philip Barry -- himself a member of Philadelphia society -- "Holiday" doesn't skewer the rich simply because they're rich. Just as it makes a case for building a life in which you're surrounded by people you love (Johnny risks losing his smart, adoring professor friends, Edward Everett Horton and Binnie Barnes, because they wouldn't fit in with his new, rich-guy lifestyle), it's also unflinching about steeling yourself against people who can only hurt you, no matter who they are. When Lew Ayres, as Linda and Julia's sad, sweet souse of a brother, lays out the score to Linda about what Julia is really like -- "If you were in her way, she'd ride you down like a rabbit" -- it's hard to know if his candor is chilling or touching, because it's so much of both.
"Holiday" is flinty not out of nastiness, but because for its two main characters, there's so much at stake. Johnny and Linda connect instantly. Even as physical types they're perfectly matched. Grant is loose-jointed, confident and slightly rumpled; his boyish eagerness lights a sexy campfire behind his Mount Rushmore good looks. But Hepburn, neurotic and mighty like a rose, is the one who gets you. There's a coltish readiness locked inside her aristocratic frame, and it betrays her vulnerability. Even her cheekbones could break your heart. Maybe that's why, when she and Johnny do their back-flip routine, you feel happiest for her: Leaping off Grant's shoulders is just what she needs. Their tumble is over almost before you catch it, and watching "Holiday" on video, I have to resist the urge to rewind and watch that moment again and again. It's not meant to be replayed and scrutinized -- love is best when it's caught on the fly. What matters is that the two of them land on their feet. They're like longtime circus couples who instinctively trust each other with their very lives the way the rest of us ask, "More coffee, dear?"
I was 35 when I first saw "Holiday." A few days afterward, when my husband and I were once again sifting through titles at the video store, I felt listless and indecisive. I wanted another "Holiday," I told him, and he picked up immediately that I wasn't feeling just picky, but desolate. "There isn't one, sweetie," he said, with as much tenderness as I've ever heard in his voice. And I knew he was right.

SANDWEG & AGER, P.C., Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Arizona Lawyers for the Victims of Emergency Medicine Malpractice
Hospital emergency departments can be chaotic and there are many opportunities for medical malpractice to occur. Some people are there with life-threatening emergencies which require immediate treatment while some are there with what may be no more than a bad cold. Emergency medicine is challenging and difficult even under the best circumstances. Still nurses and doctors in the emergency department often make mistakes they should not. That is medical malpractice.
Nursing Negligence
A person, usually a nurse, determines how critical a patient might be and then decides which patient gets seen first. This is called triaging and occurs in almost every emergency department. The triage nurse may not be as well-trained as he or she ought to be. The nurse may erroneously conclude that your condition is not grave and that you can wait to be seen by a doctor. We have represented patients who were told they would have to wait, but who suffered significant injuries or died a short time later as a result of a life-threatening medical condition which should have been recognized sooner.
Other errors can occur once a patient is seen by the doctor. Emergency department physicians should be well-trained and must be able to promptly recognize and treat a vast number of serious medical conditions. On occasion patients are not treated properly or are discharged with an improper diagnosis that leads to horrible results.
A Different Burden of Proof
The Arizona State Legislature has decided that, unlike most other health care providers, those working in an emergency department should be liable to their patients for malpractice only if there is clear and convincing proof of their medical negligence. This higher burden can make these already difficult cases that much more challenging and is an issue which must be carefully considered and understood.

Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Houston Astros 6/26
Set the scene, it’s Friday night and many of us are surrounded by good friends, beer, chicken wings and the New York Yankees on your television sets. Life is good, right? It gets better now that it’s game time between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros in the second game of a four game set this weekend inside Minute Maid Park. The Yankees will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound to face off with Astros rookie Vincent Velasquez. The game will be played at 8:10 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV.
It is pay day for many of us so before you buy too many wings or too much beer set some money aside now to go grab some Yankees Tickets off the blog. By clicking the Yankees Tickets link at the top of the blog you can get your Yankees tickets without paying any of those bulky fees or annoying shipping costs through our friends at Ticket Monster. If you’d rather sit around in the comfort of your own home with friends and enjoy the game, and who could blame you, then simply jump on Twitter (@GreedyStripes) and/or the comments section of the blog to interact with us and your fellow Yankees fans during each and every game this season.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Eovaldi are both sitting in the dugout and are fresh out of the bullpen so I need to pay attention to which one will take the mound tonight for the Yankees, that requires my full attention so I’ll end this post here. I’m hoping for a good start tonight from Eovaldi in his hometown, don’t choke! Go Yankees!

Zack Hample: The Exclusive Interview by The Greedy Pinstripes
Hey, @AROD, I'm the guy who snagged your 3,000th hit. Any chance for a follow back? It would mean a lot to me.
— Zack Hample (@zack_hample) June 23, 2015
Zack Hample is the lucky man that caught Alex Rodriguez's 3,000th hit that cleared the right field wall into the Bleacher Creatures, maybe you've heard of him? Zack's relationship with the Yankees fans immediately took a hit when he balked at the chance to return the historic baseball to Alex and the Yankees and has been on the defensive ever since. We have seen Mr. Hample on Good Day America, Conan O'Brien, Sportscenter and on many other avenues and today he lent his ear to us here at The Greedy Pinstripes. I admit that when I first sent the request to Zack I didn't expect to get a response but I had to have a horse in the race if I wanted a chance to win, to my surprise Zack responded. Zack was excited to be able to speak to the Yankees fans directly and give his side of the whole A Rod and 3,000 hit situation and I was more than happy to bring him an avenue. This is his avenue and this is his interview, Mr. Zack Hample:
The Greedy Pinstripes:
I think the first question my readers and Yankees fans everywhere want to know is are you a Yankees fan or would you consider yourself a general MLB fan?
Zack Hample:
I'm not a Yankees fan, but I'm not your typical Yankees hater either. I know it might sound weird, but I don't have a favorite team. For the last twenty years, I've rooted more for individual players, probably because I've attended games at 51 different major league stadiums and gotten a bit jaded in the process. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera were two of my all-time favorites, not just on the Yankees, but in all of baseball, so whenever they were directly involved in the game, I rooted for them. I still root for the team in certain situations depending on who's hitting, pitching, etc.
TGP:
Can you put into words how much of a tug of war is going on inside your head right now when faced with the question of whether to give the ball back or not?
ZH:
The president of a major auction house told me that the ball could be worth $500,000, but you know what? On a personal, sentimental level, it's worth much more to me than that, so I'd rather keep it than sell it. Of course it's also worth a lot to Alex Rodriguez, so I'm taking that into consideration and considering all my options, including using the ball to raise a whole lot of money and awareness for my favorite children's baseball charity, Pitch In For Baseball. The point is, this is a HUGE decision, and I'm incredibly conflicted.
Can you share some and maybe explain the spectrum of the uproar you are receiving by Yankees fans and non-Yankees fans alike? I assume your most hateful responses have come from Yankees fans, are they any that are “PG” enough that you feel comfortable sharing?
Bald Vinny has said the nastiest things on the biggest platform. I don't care to repeat them here, nor do I feel like getting into a war or words. I can deal with being insulted, but I don't appreciate false accusations, so I'd like to let everyone know that I don't knock over little kids. Despite what Vinny and various media outlets are claiming, it's simply not true. Come watch me during batting practice for five minutes or for the next twenty-five years and you won't see me knock anyone down. I've never done it -- not once in more than 1,200 games! It's not who I am or what I do. Before every single pitch is thrown, I glance to my left and right and often look over my shoulder to make sure I have some room to move in case a ball flies my way. I'm hyper-aware of my surroundings and take special care not to cause physical harm to anyone.
Do you have any regrets for reportedly tweeting out, to paraphrase, that if you caught the 3,000 hit home run ball you would give Alex a “dummy ball and the finger?”
I deeply regret that. I didn't have many followers then, and of course I had no idea that I'd actually end up snagging the ball, so I was just trying to be snarky. But it was a dumb, unnecessary, negative thing to say. Most people say things that they wish they could take back, and for me, this is it.
I think everyone would like to hear your stance on Alex, the game of baseball in the steroid era and his repeated offenses and how it’s affected and shaped the game.
Some of my favorite players of all time -- guys I practically worshiped as a kid -- turned out to be steroid users. It really hurt, and I instantly stopped rooting for them. A-Rod is no different. I understand that many people, especially Yankees fans, still love him, but I hope that people will respect the way I feel.
If you can get into it and name specifics what are some of the things that the Yankees have offered you?
Initially they offered me a chance to meet A-Rod, have my own press conference at Yankee Stadium, appear on the YES Network during the game, receive Legends tickets and all sorts of signed memorabilia including balls, bats and jerseys. I told them I appreciated it, but that the ball was worth more to me than anything they could possibly offer. I had no intention of selling it at first. I was actually planning to keep it forever because it really was THAT meaningful to me. At the very least, I knew I needed to leave the stadium that night with the ball still in my possession. I needed to think about it.
Has Alex Rodriguez tried to contact you directly in any way?
No, and I'm sure he won't. The Yankees said I could meet him if I give the ball back, so if he were to reach out to me, that would diminish their offer. I don't blame A-Rod for staying out of it.
Would this have mattered at all to you if you were the one to catch Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit and not A-Rod's 3,000th hit?
If I had caught Jeter's 3,000th hit, I still would've wanted to leave the stadium with the ball and think about it. I don't think that's unreasonable.
For those who haven’t heard about your blog, ZackHample.com, and your books, "How to Snag Major League Baseballs", "Watching Baseball Smarter" and "The Baseball: Stunts, Scandals and Secrets Beneath the Stitches,"tell us how that came about and maybe share a few trade secrets for those of us who have not read the books or seen the blog.
I wrote my first book, How To Snag Major League Baseballs, when I was 19. It was my dad's idea. He was a writer, so he helped me brainstorm and then organize my ideas into an outline. The next book, Watching Baseball Smarter, was his idea too, but he didn't help in any way until the first draft was complete and I wanted his opinion. The third book, The Baseball, was my own idea. My publisher approached me and said they wanted me to write another book, so I worked with them to develop the idea. Then I signed a contract for it up front, quit my regular job, and worked on the book full-time for 18 months. Trade secrets in terms of snagging baseballs? The number one piece of advice is to make sure you have some room to move. I always make sure not to get trapped in the middle of a long row of people, but at Yankee Stadium that's tough because it always so crowded.
Surely you have a fourth book in the works after this whole A-Rod ordeal, any ideas for a title?
I'm considering a bunch of different ways to write about the whole A-Rod thing and share the story with everyone, but I'm not sure if it's book-worthy.
How many baseballs have you caught as of doing this interview?
Including batting practice and all the various ways that I get them, my current total is 8,172. That includes 159 foul balls during games, 32 home runs, and one ground-rule double.
Will your foul ball grabbing record ever be broken and where do you think your 10,000th ball will be caught?
It's certainly possible for someone even crazier and more obsessed to break my record, but I'd say it's unlikely. Camden Yards is my favorite stadium, so I'm thinking it'd be cool to snag my 10,000th ball there.
Is the A-Rod ball the highest profile ball you’ve caught? Do you think it is worth the most monetarily?
It's the highest-profile ball by far -- no question about it -- and I would say that it's worth more by itself than my entire collection.
We’ve heard stories of you catching Barry Bonds 724th home run ball and consecutive home runs inside Yankee Stadium in 2008, which would you say in your favorite memory? Is there a milestone home run ball we missed or don’t know about?
Prior to A-Rod's 3,000th hit, my favorite ball that I caught was the last home run that the Mets ever hit at Shea Stadium. I also caught a Derek Jeter homer in 2012. That was his 3,262nd career hit. And here's another random one that remains as one of my most cherished baseballs: the final out from Mariano Rivera's 313th career save. Later in his career, he saved all the final-out balls, but at that time, he used to toss them into the crowd when he walked off the field.
This isn’t really Yankees related but how did the whole controversy over Mike Trout’s first home run ball come about and how do you think you got stuck in the middle of it?
I'm not aware of any controversy. I caught his first career homer in 2011 at Camden Yards, and I gave the ball back to him after the game, no questions asked, other than to be the person to hand it to him.
Tell us about the charity work that you do with “Pitch in for Baseball” and the work you do with BIGS Sunflower Seeds and your fans to donate money to underprivileged children so they can have baseball and softball equipment.
Since 2009 I've been using my collection to raise money for Pitch In For Baseball, a non-profit charity that provides baseball and softball equipment to underprivileged kids all over the world. Basically, people pledge money for every ball that I snag -- kind of like how your friend will run a marathon and ask you to pledge some money for every mile -- and it all goes to the charity. I've raised nearly $40,000 with the help of BIGS Sunflower Seeds, who sponsored me in 2013 and sent me to all 30 stadiums and made a large donation to the charity. If people Google my name along with the word "charity," they'll find more info about how it works.
Speaking of charity and interviews, is Conan still the worst interview you’ve done since all this went down? Also how many interviews do you think you’ve done since catching the 3,000 hit ball?
Yup, Conan was the worst. When I tried to talk about the charity, he cut me off twice, and when I forced it into the conversation, he made fun of me. He wasn't interested in anything I had to say -- just making me look bad and getting laughs. I did 16 interviews the day after snagging the A-Rod ball, and I've done approximately 35 more since then. There are still at least 100 interview requests that I haven't even responded to. I needed a break this week, so I went to a couple of Yankee games and then spent an evening hanging out with friends. I've also had to stop scheduling interviews because I'm losing my voice.
Is there anything you want to say to the Yankees fans directly? The stage is all yours.
I'm sorry for the negative comments I made about A-Rod. If you guys can forgive him for using performance-enhancing drugs, I hope you'll forgive me for some of the dumb stuff I've said. The Yankees have been so kind to me throughout this whole process, as have most of the fans I've met in person at the Stadium, and I truly appreciate that. I'm hoping to work out a way for A-Rod to get the ball back and for the charity to receive a huge donation and for myself to get some cool experiences and perks at the stadium, but it's taking time. That's why it's dragging on -- not because I'm holding the ball for ransom or trying to get more interview requests. If you see me at the Stadium at some point, please don't hesitate to come say hi.
Zack, thank you so much for probably the most interesting and most hyped interview I have ever done in my years as a blogger. I appreciate you doing this interview for us as the owner of the blog and as a Yankees fan because I was able to get answers to the questions that I and every Yankees fan wanted after the home run was hit. While the saga continues of whether Mr. Hample will or won't give the ball back to Alex we can at least make our judgments now knowing both sides of the story.
I have found a whole new respect for Zack after doing this interview and see him in an entirely new light, I hope that everyone reading this can as well. I told Zack when I asked for the interview privately and I will reiterate it here on the blog, I was hyper-emotional when the ball was hit and it was not immediately given back. Like Zack did, I said some things that I am not proud of and I didn't mean and I apologized to him and told him it was nothing personal, if he hadn't forgiven then I don't think you would be reading this now. I think when all is said and done Pitch In For Baseball will get their donation for a very worth cause, Zack will get more than ample perks at the Stadium, Yankees fans will forgive and forget and Alex will get the ball.

Game Preview: New York Yankees @ Houston Astros 6/26
The New York Yankees and the Houston Astros are back at it again on this Friday night as these two teams go head-to-head in the second of their four game set inside Minute Maid Park. Last night the Yankees sent their 6th starter up against the ace for the Astros and tonight New York will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound to face off against Vincent Velasquez for Houston. The game will be played at 8:10 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV.
Eovaldi has only faced the Houston Astros once in his career and took a no-decision in that start as a member of the Miami Marlins. Eovaldi makes his second start against the team tonight in the city of his birth, Houston, looking to improve on his 6-2 record and 4.95 ERA for the Yankees.
Velasquez is a rookie starting pitcher making just his fourth start of his major league career and first start against the Yankees tonight in Houston. Velasquez has yet to pitch into the sixth inning in any of his first three starts and has had trouble being effective and throwing strikes at time giving the Yankees a swinging chance tonight against the Astros.
If you’ve been keeping up this season with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Eovaldi you would see his two best starts of the season coming against good teams like the Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays while his worst start of the season coming against a terrible Miami Marlins team. Houston is a good team and a first place team so if history is any indication of the future we should expect a lot more Mr. Eovaldi (the good one) and a lot less Dr. Jekyll (the one that leads the American League in hits allowed) tonight in Houston. We hope anyway, Go Yankees!

Let’s Get Alex Rodriguez an ESPY
"An ESPY Bro?"
Alex Rodriguez is up for an ESPY Award this season from ESPN, believe it or not. Alex will compete with Rob Gronkowski, Derrick Rose and Lindsey Vonn in the 2015 ESPN ESPY Awards for the 2015 Comeback Athlete of the Year.
Alex missed the entire 2014 season while serving his suspension in the Biogenesis scandal and is currently posting a .285/.384/.536 with 15 home runs and 42 RBI in his first 67 games of the season. Alex also became the American League’s leader in RBI all-time, passed Willie Mays on the all-time home run list and collected his 3,000th hit of his career. Some players don’t do this in a career, Alex has done this and more in just one season.
It’s no secret that Rodriguez is not a fan favorite across the globe so it’s up to us, the Yankees fans, to send Rodriguez home with the ESPY. We would not only hand another slap in the face to the Patriots, they deflated the balls come on guys, but we would also hand one respectfully to the world if Alex were to take home the award.
Everyone deserves a second chance, even A Rod so tune in on July 15th at 8:00 pm ET to root on Rodriguez and see if he wins.

props to Pinstripe Alley for the gif
We all know the story and the drum beating I do in this weekly post, Robert Refsnyder is wasting at bats down in Triple-A while Stephen Drew continues to petition to move and re-name the Mendoza Line in Major League Baseball. I don’t need to remind you how much Refsnyder’s defense has improved or how much superior his bat is or even how the Yankees tend to over-groom their prospects sometimes forcing a negative reaction and a reversal in their development. You’ve read it, you’ve heard me say it and if you’ve watched the Yankees over the past five years or more you already know it. Instead today I will focus on the upcoming July 31st trading deadline.
Brian Cashman, the Yankees GM, has been adamant about keeping his top prospects at most trading deadlines and has really shied away from trading any in recent seasons, a trend that is expected to continue in 2015. As possibly Refsnyder’s biggest fan and loudest drum beater I am beginning to worry when I hear Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner and others list off those top prospects that the team plans on keeping unless just a no-brainer comes along. You hear the names of Luis Severino, you also hear the names of Greg Bird and Aaron Judge but you never hear the name Refsnyder.
New York has been aggressive with Severino and Judge and seemed ready to be aggressive with Bird after an Arizona Fall League trip and MVP Award this season but an injury slowed down those plans at least temporarily but it seems like the team is almost doing anything it can to keep Refsnyder down and out of the media. Martin Prado was traded only to sign Drew. Drew starts slow and trade rumors involving the Braves top prospect Jose Peraza begin to find their way to the internet. Refsnyder hits well but it criticized for his defense, he improves on his defense and his improvements are ignored.
I’m not saying the Yankees are going to trade Refsnyder but it sure doesn’t look like he is in their long term plans right now either. Either way the only way we are going to find out is if we all stay tuned.

This Day in New York Yankees History 6/26: Mo No-Hitter and Derek Jeter’s Birthday
On this day in 1995 Mariano Rivera throws a five inning no hitter against the Rochester Red Wings of the International League. Mo finished his minor league career with a 27-18 record and a 2.35 ERA with seven complete games, this no hitter and another seven inning no hitter on his resume.
Also on this day in 1974 Derek Sanderson Jeter was born a mere 20 years before he became quite possibly the greatest Yankee of all-time and definitely the best Yankees player of my generation. Happy birthday Jetes!
Finally on this day in 1944 the great state of New York had a three team baseball game for charity. The Polo Grounds held roughly 50,000 fans that watched a six inning game between the Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Yankees, and New York Giants. The way it worked was a team would play consecutive innings against the other two teams and then would sit out the third inning. The money went for war bonds and the final score was the Dodgers 5, the Yankees 1, and the Giants 0.

Actors go to UN demanding Iran release jailed director
Hollywood petition calls for repeal of Jafar Panahi's six-year sentence for making anti-regime propaganda

Hollywood stars including Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon are launching a campaign with Amnesty International calling for the release of the acclaimed Iranian film-maker Jafar Panahi, who has been sentenced to six years in prison.
Panahi, who angered the government by supporting Iran's opposition green movement, is also banned from directing and producing films for 20 years after being found guilty in December of making propaganda against the regime.
Amnesty International said a group of campaigners would deliver to the UN in New York tens of thousands of signatures including from Penn, Sarandon, Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott demanding Panahi's conviction be overturned.
About 20,000 people have signed the petition, along with Iranians including film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, pop singer Googoosh, academics Hamid Dabashi and Azar Nafisi, and previously imprisoned journalists Roxana Saberi and Maziar Bahari.
Campaigners intend to hold a rally in New York outside the UN offices attended by Oscar-winning film-maker Paul Haggis. They will symbolically rename a nearby New York street plaza "Azadi Square" (freedom square) after the rallying point in Tehran where thousands gathered in protest after the disputed 2009 election.
Panahi won the Camera d'Or at Cannes in 1995 for The White Balloon. Attempts by the Iranian authorities to silence him were initially highlighted by the French actor Juliette Binoche who held up his name at the 2010 Cannes festival in protest at his arrest. Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola also condemned it.
Another Iranian film-maker, Mohammad Rasoulof, was arrested with Panahi in February 2010 and given six years' jail. Both have since been repeatedly honoured at prestigious film festivals including Berlin and Cannes.
Parviz Jahed, an Iranian director and critic, said that despite the regime's severe crackdown on their industry, film-makers continued to work. "Independent film-makers in Iran have always been subjected to censorship and intense pressure from the authorities. In spite of, or perhaps as a result of this, they have always managed to persevere to an extent and achieve recognition for independent Iranian cinema on an international scale," he said.
Larry Cox, Amnesty's US executive director, said: "Imagine your government telling you that you cannot work, speak your mind or express your beliefs – or you will be thrown in prison. This is the ordeal that Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Rasoulof suffer every day. These two men are being persecuted; it is simply wrong and we must speak up against Iran's actions."

Japan vows to cut suicide rate by 20% over 10 years
Despite modest fall in rate in recent years, Japan has struggled to address cultural resistance to discussing mental health issues
Justin McCurry in Tokyo
Thu 4 Sep 2014 05.01 EDT First published on Thu 4 Sep 2014 05.01 EDT

High-profile suicides are a common occurrence in Japan, where ending one's own life is still seen by some as the ultimate expression of atonement, rooted in the samurai belief in the value of ritual suicide.
Recent political and corporate history is replete with cases in which death appeared the most honourable course of action. Only last month, Dr Yoshiki Sasai, deputy director of the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology, hanged himself after becoming embroiled in an ongoing scandal over stem cell research.
But for every suicide involving a public figure there are many more among ordinary Japanese people, and for reasons that resonate in other countries.
The bursting of Japan's economic bubble prompted an end to lifetime employment, and was blamed for the spike in suicides in the late 1990s from around 25,000 a year to around 32,000.
Depression, serious illness – particularly among the elderly – and debt have also been cited as common causes of suicide.
Japan's annual suicide rate has hovered around the 30,000 mark since the late 1990s, making it one of the highest rates in the world. In 2007, the figure rose to 33,093 – the second highest number ever – prompting the government to take action.
Vowing to cut the suicide rate by at least 20% over 10 years, health officials have unveiled a $220m (£134m) package of measures that include improving threadbare counselling services and monitoring websites that encourage like-minded people to enter into suicide pacts.
Japan will probably fall short of that target, but recent data is cause for optimism. Following a gradual decrease beginning in 2009, the number of suicides in 2012 fell below 30,000 – to 27,776 – for the first time since 1997. Last year, the rate fell again, to 27,283, according to data from the National Police Agency.
Despite the modest fall over the past four years, Japan, like its neighbour South Korea, has struggled to address cultural resistance to discussing mental health issues and, in Japan's case, the absence of any deep-seated social or religious opposition to taking one's own life.
Broad acceptance of suicide as the answer to seemingly insoluble problems, combined with the pressures of life in a largely patriarchal society, has had a disproportionate effect on men. They account for about 70% of suicides – the leading cause of death among Japanese men aged 20-44.
More than 70 Japanese people a day kill themselves, and the rate per 100,000 people is double that of the US, whose population is twice the size of Japan's.
The high suicide rate is also a symptom of Japan's skewed demographics, with its quickly growing elderly population more susceptible to isolation, depression and serious illness.
In response, local authorities and private organisations have moved to fill the gap in preventative measures, including the introduction of inochi no monban (gatekeepers for life) – people from all walks of life who are trained to spot suicidal tendencies among friends, relatives and colleagues.

Getting Into the Game
Golf’s On-boarding Process is Evolving
by Erik Matuszewski
Think of golf participation as a bus that visits almost 15,000+ golf facilities multiple times each day and never stops. Players of varying commitment and skill levels ride the coach, and at any given time since 2011, golf’s Greyhound has entertained 24 million riders of all ages and from all walks of life (yes, they walked before they rode). During the past four years, roughly the same number of new players paid their fare as got off the bus each year. We have capacity for more players and the quality of the on-boarding process is critical to retaining customers and building golf’s franchise in the long term.
One piece of excellent news is there are tens of millions of non-golfers eager to become part of the journey (latent demand). The churn without growth makes the golf course business incredibly competitive. To use another really subtle bus metaphor, keep in mind that when it comes to the success and failure of golf courses, golf is a local business.
With so many interested non-golfers who aren’t paying customers, it’s reasonable to conclude that golf isn’t facing an interest problem, but rather issues related to activation and retention. In other words, plenty of people want to play, but most aren’t aware or perhaps comfortable enough with the path to the game.
According to a recent NGF study, only 10% of non-golfers, those who haven’t played a round of golf in the past 12 months, are aware of programs that can ease their entrance into the game.
Likewise, less than 30% of former golfers who have lapsed (played golf previously but not in the past 12 months) took golf instruction when they were first introduced to the game.
Golf’s leading organizations engaged in player development —The PGA of America, LPGA, PGA TOUR, the USGA and The Masters Tournament —are working to positively affect the participation churn through their consolidated support of grass-roots programs such as Get Golf Ready, The First Tee, LPGA/USGA Girls Golf, Drive, Chip & Putt and PGA Junior League Golf. Efforts also include attracting players back to the game who fell away for one reason or another (slightly more than half of lapsed golfers report being open to returning to the game in the near future).
“There are a lot of bright spots out there,” said NGF, PGA and NGCOA member Del Ratcliffe, owner/operator of Ratcliffe Golf Services, which manages five facilities in the Charlotte area. “Part of the problem is we have painted ourselves into a corner with all the repeated talk about barriers like cost, time and difficulty. We need to adopt the philosophy that golf is an activity that can be enjoyed by everyone, and then actively promote it that way.”
Click here to enlarge the image.
Golf has never been as accessible as it is today. More than 75% of golf facilities are open to the public, and given the current buyer’s market, tee times at quality courses are more affordable now than any time in recent memory. Operators are also embracing technology usage on the golf course (i.e. cell phones, social media, music),and are eliminating rules and dress codes that many younger adults consider restrictive and cumbersome. These changes speak well to attracting the game’s future prospects—including juniors, millennials and those who will be drawn to golf through alternative programs such as Topgolf and FootGolf. Millennials and juniors make up more than 35% of the current golfing population and slightly more than half of the game’s latent demand.
“As a golf industry we are all pulling in the same direction to promote the aspects of the game that are so attractive to those who are involved,” said Nancy Henderson, chief teaching officer with the LPGA. “We have a nice common message about the virtues of the game.”
Recruiting Junior Golfers Using Innovation and New Messaging
We have learned that the earlier we get people involved in golf the more likely they are to stay with it, increasing the importance of activating juniors. Nearly 65% of current golfers were introduced to the game between the ages of 6 and 18. With interest piqued (juniors account for 5.5 million of golf’s latent demand), The PGA of America, The First Tee and the LPGA/USGA are increasing their efforts to attract these juniors.
The PGA’s Jr. League Golf program has activated thousands of juniors between ages 6 and 13 in just three years of existence and is expected to expand significantly beyond the 17,500 (2014) junior participants. The program succeeds by exposing children to the game through low-pressure team competition and group instruction that makes golf more welcoming and enjoyable to learn and play.
The First Tee has a number of programs that introduce children to golf in the proper way, but its “National School Program” is unique in that it delivers early golf instruction directly into public schools. The First Tee programs reached more than 4.1 million young people in 2014. The program equips physical education teachers with the proper knowledge and lesson plans to create positive leaning environments for elementary school aged children. The program focuses on the proper motor skills and life lessons that golf promotes while introducing the game in the proper environment.
The LPGA is working with the USGA and The First Tee, offering the “Girls Golf” program that is administered by LPGA instructors and professionals at locations across the country. According to Henderson, Girls Golf programs enjoy a 50% higher retention rate among females than gender-mixed programs, and since 2010 has grown from onboarding 5,000 girls a year to 50,000 in 2015 (figures from The First Tee).
All Aboard Millennials
Millennials comprise more than a quarter of current golfers, and another 12 million interested in getting on board. These current and potential golfers present a sizeable growth opportunity, but absolutely require the proper environment for activation and conversion.
Like juniors, 18-34 year old adults prefer to learn the game in group settings, and recent NGF data shows that a sizeable number (well more than two-thirds) prefer to learn the game alongside friends or co-workers they are already comfortable with. These potential customers also have diverse interests, so the invitation can’t necessarily be framed in the traditional way. Instead, it’s about comradery, challenge, outdoor activity and, yes, beverages.
“The most important thing is getting these young people out onto the golf course,” Ratcliffe said. “It’s not always the traditional approach to golf that works, but if we take the message to them and then deliver the experience on the course the results will be there.”
Alternative Routes to Growth?
The emergence of two golf-centric programs—Topgolf and FootGolf—have the potential to help the game gain additional traction among young adults and other previously less engaged segments of the population.
Topgolf, a combination of driving range, high-tech bowling alley and sports bar, is introducing (or reintroducing) the game to thousands of non-golfers. Their financial success and customer demographics have certainly caught operators’ attention.
“To be honest, when I was first introduced to Topgolf, I was like ‘man, this is a threat to the golf industry.’ But I soon realized it was an opportunity for us to engage a different group of people with the traditional game of golf,” said Ratcliffe. “The reality is Topgolf has overcome many of the obstacles given for why golf is not growing. It’s a different atmosphere to be sure, but there is great potential for crossover.”
Since it’s estimated that just a little more than half of Topgolf customers are on-course golfers and they attract such a broad spectrum of lifestyles, NGF believes it is perhaps the clearest manifestation of latent demand. It is a less serious, more approachable, dynamic and fun-centric version of golf and people are flocking to it.
Some of the same things are being said about FootGolf, which combines elements of golf and soccer, and is played on existing golf courses with a few modifications. According to the American FootGolf League, the sport is currently played at more than 425 courses in 49 states. While many operators are taking a wait and see approach as to whether FootGolf will deliver new players to the traditional game, there’s no question that it is creating an additional revenue source for public golf facilities and it is introducing new people to the golf course environment who might not otherwise find themselves there.
“I believe that when you introduce FootGolf players to the golf environment you have an opportunity to attract them to the traditional game,” said Roberto Balestrini, AFGL’s passionate leader and an NGF member. “People ask me if FootGolf is bringing new people to the game, and I tell them it’s too early to tell, but there’s no doubt the opportunity is there.”
As with many meaningful trips, it’s golf’s journey and not the destination that is most memorable. There’s always a new skill to learn or course to challenge. So the bus moves on and new players continue to be welcomed aboard to experience the ride so many of us enjoy.

Once-troubled reverse mortgages poised for rebound
Advertised as a path to an affordable retirement, federally insured reverse mortgages are showing signs of a rebound, drawing the scrutiny of regulators seeking to reduce historically high default rates that have cost the government billions.
Once-troubled reverse mortgages poised for rebound Advertised as a path to an affordable retirement, federally insured reverse mortgages are showing signs of a rebound, drawing the scrutiny of regulators seeking to reduce historically high default rates that have cost the government billions. Check out this story on thenorthwestern.com: http://oshko.sh/1s6ZxwM
AP Published 2:45 p.m. CT Sept. 17, 2014
In this Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014, photo, Myles Griffin, 74, poses for a photograph in front of his home in Philadelphia. Griffin has lived with his wife for 40 years in their three-bedroom row home and after retiring three years ago, the couple signed up for a reverse mortgage in May. (Photo: AP )
WASHINGTON – Advertised as a path to an affordable retirement, federally insured reverse mortgages are showing signs of a rebound, drawing the scrutiny of regulators seeking to reduce historically high default rates that have cost the government billions.
Industry analysts expect strong growth as the housing market improves, particularly in once hard-hit Sun Belt areas including Phoenix, Miami and San Diego, California, and aging Americans find value in growing old in their homes.
They are also being boosted by high-appreciation, gentrifying neighborhoods in older cities such as New York’s Brooklyn borough.
Analysts say they expect continued interest as the leading edge of 78 million baby boomers approach 70, the age when a person typically begins to consider a reverse mortgage. A poll by Gallup in April found that 68 percent of Americans ages 50 to 64 said they were “very” or “moderately” worried about having enough money in retirement.
A reverse mortgage allows borrowers 62 or older to receive a line of credit or lump-sum or monthly cash payments off the accumulated equity in their homes. The loan comes due when the borrower dies, moves or sells the house. The borrower’s heirs are not liable if the loan balance exceeds the value of the home — FHA covers the risk. Reverse mortgages have been pitched in slick TV ads featuring actor Henry Winkler and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson.
Philadelphia, where many families have lived in the same close-knit neighborhoods for generations, has ranked at the top for reverse mortgages awarded since 2011, according to an analysis of Federal Housing Administration data for The Associated Press by Reverse Market Insight, a California-based company. This year, Philadelphia was followed by Los Angeles, Washington and Chicago.
After retiring from his newspaper ad sales job two years ago, Myles Griffin and his wife took out a reverse mortgage in May to supplement their Social Security income. The couple took out loans worth nearly $30,000 on the home they have lived in for 40 years in a working-class neighborhood of northeast Philadelphia to help pay off credit card bills and remodel their kitchen — leaving open the option to tap into some of the remaining equity later if needed.
“We had a look at whether we wanted to move into a senior living facility, but that was more expensive, so we decided to stay with the house,” Griffin said. “We like our neighbors very much so this was the best way to go.”
Reverse mortgages haven’t always worked well. After the housing boom, many Americans took advantage of flexible lending terms to quickly draw large amounts of cash, later falling into financial trouble during the extended economic downturn.
To cover projected losses of $70 billion over a 30-year period, FHA was forced last year to receive a $1.7 billion emergency cash infusion from the Treasury, due in large part to losses from reverse mortgages during the downturn. The total projected losses, the most recent available, don’t reflect recent home-price increases, decreasing losses on its portfolio and other changes. Congress last year gave the agency new authority to tighten lending rules.
In the coming weeks, FHA, a division of the Housing and Urban Development Department, is expected to finalize its proposed rule requiring loan applicants to undergo a detailed financial assessment. It’s aimed at reducing a current default rate of 10 percent, roughly double the level of regular mortgages.
The agency also has limited the amount of upfront payments a borrower can receive and recently reissued stern guidance to lenders to curtail deceptive marketing of reverse mortgages.
While HUD has power to issue warning letters, revoke a lender’s approval or initiate other sanctions, the Government Accountability Office and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau suggested in 2009 and 2012 that HUD may not have actively monitored marketing practices during the run-up of reverse mortgages in the late 2000s.
The latest guidance is intended to ensure “lenders know we’re keeping a watchful eye on their marketing and advertising practices,” said FHA Commissioner Carol Galante.
In the first half of the year, 27,648 reverse mortgages were issued worth $7.2 billion, according to FHA data. Although lower than the same period in 2013, Reverse Market Insight, which analyzed the data, said it expected this year’s total value to exceed the low in 2012, when 52,883 reverse mortgages were issued at a value of $12.7 billion.
Overall loan volume and applications have also been up in recent months, a leading indicator of increases in reverse mortgages, the company said.
At the peak in 2009, more than 111,000 reverse mortgages were issued worth $31.2 billion.
And this is likely to continue to be a popular option for many.
“Reverse mortgages will be a lifeline for millions of Americans in retirement in the years to come,” said Greg McBride, a chief financial analyst for Bankrate, citing growing financial pressures from rising college tuition for their children and health care.

The Maple Leafs made a minor trade on Friday, sending unsigned draft pick Dakota Joshua to the St. Louis Blues for future considerations.
Joshua, drafted 128th overall by the Leafs in 2014, then signed a two-year entry-level deal with the Blues.
A 23-year-old forward, Joshua just finished four years at Ohio State University, his most productive season coming in 2016-17 when he had 35 points in 33 games.
Of course, what has Leafs Nation holding its collective breath is the status of unsigned restricted free agent Mitch Marner. There has been no news from either the Leafs or Marner’s agent, Darren Ferris, in several weeks on contract talks.
CANES INK DZINGEL
The Carolina Hurricanes signed forward Ryan Dzingel to a two-year contract as the exodus of free agents from the Columbus Blue Jackets continued.
Dzingel, who scored a career-high 26 goals last season with the Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators, signed a two-year contract with an annual average value of $3.375-million US.
Other Jackets who have departed via free agency in the off-season include goalie Sergei Bobrovsky (Florida Panthers), Artemi Panarin (New York Rangers) and Matt Duchene (Nashville Predators).

OTHER VOICES: Chrysler made the right call
Crain News Service
Keith Crain
By Keith Crain
DETROIT (June 24, 2013) — Three weeks ago it looked like Chrysler Group L.L.C. was about to go to war with the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
NHTSA wanted Chrysler to recall 2.7 million Jeeps, and Chrysler said no. Not only were the Jeeps too old and had met existing safety standards at the time they were produced, but there was nothing wrong with them.
It quickly became a bit of a hotbed, and it looked like there would be a substantial and lengthy legal battle.
But as quickly as it escalated, it disappeared with Chrysler agreeing to recall many of the vehicles in question, after a reported June 9 airport meeting involving Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and NHTSA chief David Strickland.
Many folks are not satisfied with the solution, but Chrysler says installing a trailer hitch will satisfy NHTSA.
Meanwhile the question we thought might get answered—whether older vehicles that met applicable safety standards must be recalled—remains out there for the next safety issue with older cars.
It may well be that NHTSA should consider adopting the aircraft industry's policy. When the Federal Aviation Administration determines that a safety issue with a particular model is serious enough, it issues an airworthiness directive to aircraft owners and operators, telling them to take some action, regardless of how old the aircraft is.
But with aircraft, the owners and operators pay for the fix, not the manufacturer. It solves the problem and might make a lot of sense for safety issues on automobiles that are older.
To many people's surprise, Chrysler gave up the fight on Jeeps quickly. The company announced that it would accept the recall and with some modification would comply with NHTSA's request.
Jeep is perhaps the best known automotive brand in the world. Chrysler must have received a lot of quick feedback from dealers suggesting as strongly as possible that it would not be a good idea to leave this potential blemish out there for an indefinite period while it was being adjudicated, maybe for years.
They must have realized Jeep was far too valuable to mess with.
Chrysler made the right call. Although the auto maker had to be feeling a bit pressured to give in, it would not have been wise to risk messing with the strongest brand in the stable.
Someday this issue will end up in court. In the meantime, Chrysler made the right call.

One Texas county just swore in 17 black female judges
A new year brought the swearing-in of newly elected officials in Harris County, Texas , and among them were 17 black female judges.
The group of women, who were part of a local democratic campaign called "Black Girl Magic Texas," first made history -- and headlines -- when they won their respective midterm elections in November. Together, they make up what is believed to be the largest group of black female judges to be elected at the same time in Harris County history.
The Harris County Democratic Party posted photos of the swearing-in ceremony, which took place on Tuesday morning.
"Today we usher in a new era of representative government and progressive leadership in Harris County," the group wrote.
The public was invited to attend the ceremony, and images of the event from CNN affiliate KHOU show a packed house.
County Judge Lina Hidalgo was also sworn in on Tuesday. Hidalgo is a 27-year-old Colombian immigrant who unseated incumbent Republican Ed Emmett in November. At the time, Emmett had held the position of Country Judge for more than ten years.
Hidalgo has spoken at length about the importance of diversity in Harris County's government. "We made history in Harris County on November 6 by electing a talented group of individuals who reflect the people and communities we serve," she said in a press release for Tuesday's ceremony. "That would not have been possible without the support of the residents of Harris County."
Harris County, which includes Houston, is the largest county in the state. According to the most recent census data , 43% of people in Harris County are Hispanic, and nearly 20% of the county's residents identify as African-American.

Coinbase is a all around awesome platform to quickly and swiftly get into the world of crypto assets. Trusted them from day one and so far so good ! The only negative situation I have encountered has been 1 . I bought $25 dollars of bitcoin and was charged twice but only got $25 worth of bitcoin .... contacted coinbase and that very same day got a email back from them saying they knew about the situation and that they where on top of it because it happened to more people that week... a day or two pass and I received another email saying my problem was resolved..... it wasn’t and still hasn’t been resolved! Thank God I only bought $25 and not a lot more ! It’s $25 I’m not going to be after anyone for that little amount of money but it definitely impacted my good experience with coinbase and their over all standing with me , my friends and my family after this situation that has still not been resolved .

In August 2019, Coinbase announced that it was targeted by a sophisticated hacking attack attempt in mid-June. This reported attack used spear-phishing and social engineering tactics (including sending fake e-mails from compromised email accounts and created a landing page at the University of Cambridge) and two Firefox browser zero-day vulnerabilities. One of the Firefox vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to escalate privileges from JavaScript on a browser page (CVE-2019–11707) and the second one could allow the attacker to escape the browser sandbox and execute code on the host computer (CVE-2019–11708). Coinbase's security team detected and blocked the attack, the network was not compromised, and no cryptocurrency was stolen.[39][40][41]

NO WAY. How do some many people trust Coinbase with their money When their website’s software is full of faulty programs that they won’t or can’t fix. IE, I tried to add a new debit card to my account. I gave them my cards info and was told to check my account for two small charges made by coinbase and enter the amounts in a designated page. Both amounts were over $3.00, but the verification page only allowed me to submit amounts under $2.00. I was never able to add another card to my account. For me, no big deal,… Read more »

For my bad luck I did not check here for a review of coinbase, I would have save a lot of worthless time. To tell the truth, I hope there is a internet god out there and shut them down.

Coinbase is a terrible and unprofessional company. They’ve ignored my requests for escalation after providing no feed back on the issues I am having. These issues are costing this customer not only monetarily, but due to the lack of transparency with new policies in which coinbase will hold your funds hostage for 10 days while advising that it can be transferred “instantly” is not only false, but malicious contempt.

In February 2019, Coinbase announced that it had acquired "blockchain intelligence platform" Neutrino, an Italy-based startup, for an undisclosed price.[33] The acquisition raised concern among some Coinbase users[34] based on Neutrino founders' connection to the Hacking Team, which has been accused of providing internet surveillance technology to governments with poor human rights records.[35] On March 4, 2019, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said his company "did not properly evaluate" the deal from a due diligence perspective and thus any Neutrino staff who previously worked at Hacking Team "will transition out of Coinbase."[36]

New Tech High’s Art Auction
New Tech High @ Coppell students in Coppell, Texas are incredible. A group of them got together a few years ago and started a movement on their campus called Hope for Africa. The club puts on fundraisers and campaigns to raise awareness and resources for organizations tangibly meeting the needs of people on the continent of Africa.
They’ve been big supporters of Touch
A Life since fall 2009, funding laptops for the kids in our Ghana program and sponsoring a beautiful girl named Comfort. The club put on an art auction recently at a local Barnes & Noble, raising over $1,200! All of the artwork was created by students, and one piece was made by Comfort.
Maggie Gross, one of the club’s current leaders, took time to answer a few questions about the art auction and why she’s involved in something bigger than herself.
First, tell us how Hope For Africa was started at New Tech.
Hope for Africa was started at New Tech in 2008, the first year our school opened. One teacher, Mrs. Pillmore, carried the club over from Coppell High School and was the club’s sponsor the first couple of years.
What’s your role in the club?
I, along with a few other girls, make up the executive team. Our club is unique because we don’t have the typical labels of President, Vice President, etc.. We’ve all been equally involved in the club and share the same passion to make it a success. We meet regularly to plan and lead the meetings with the entire club.
Why did you decide to put on an art auction?
Two years ago we had our first art auction for Touch A Life. It was such a big success that we decided to make it a bi-annual event.
Over $1,200! That’s a lot! How did you raise so much money?
Our art auction would not have been such a success without the help of so many people. Barnes & Noble, the artists, singers, and everyone who came out to help support the auction all played a huge role. It would not have been possible without them.
Why are you involved with Hope For Africa?
My sophomore year, a service program called New Tech Gives Back partnered with the Touch A Life Foundation. After Pam Cope spoke at New Tech, I knew I had to get involved. Hearing about the children on Lake Volta and everything Pam was doing to rescue them was so inspiring. I think we often forget how lucky we are, but Hope for Africa helps remind me that there are bigger things in this world. As I have learned more about Touch A Life and each of the kids, it has continued to become more meaningful.
What does Hope For Africa have planned for the future?
Since we have officially raised enough money to
sponsor Comfort for a year ($1800), we are in the process of brainstorming new ideas for our club. We’re planning on promoting TOMS One Day Without Shoes, volunteering or walking/running in the Touch A Life 5k, and possibly volunteering at Shiloh with African refugees.
What do you love most about sponsoring Comfort?
I love sponsoring Comfort because it makes it so much more personal. It’s no longer just about raising money, but there is a purpose behind it. Throughout the sponsorship we have received pictures of Comfort and it is so motivating to see the girl we are responsible for.
We’re so grateful for people like Maggie Gross and the students at New Tech High @ Coppell. Learn more about child sponsorship
at our Global Family page.
← Happy and Radical Forgiveness
We’re Building in Ghana! Stay tuned for more updates… →

Global Internet User Survey Reveals Attitudes, Usage, and Behavior
WASHINGTON & GENEVA, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A worldwide survey of more than 10,000 Internet users in 20 countries conducted by the Internet Society revealed attitudes towards the Internet and user behavior online. The Global Internet User Survey is one of the broadest surveys of Internet user attitudes on key issues facing the Internet. This year’s survey covered areas such as how users manage personal information online, attitudes toward the Internet and human rights, censorship, and the potential for the Internet to address issues such as economic development and education.
“Today’s online users have high expectations for the Internet and its impact on our lives and society, while also expressing concerns over censorship and excessive governmental controls,” said Lynn St. Amour, President and CEO of the Internet Society. “As part of realizing the Internet Society’s vision of an Internet that is for everyone, this survey uniquely focuses on users and their experiences, attitudes, and opinions on how to meet the challenges and opportunities facing the Internet and society in general. We are committed to the Internet’s continued open growth and evolution, not only for those who enjoy the Internet today, but until everyone is able to access and benefit from an open Internet.”
Key findings from this year’s survey cover a broad range of topics.
The Internet and Human Rights:
Eighty-three percent of respondents agreed or agreed strongly that access to the Internet should be considered a basic human right.
Eighty-nine percent agreed or agreed strongly that Internet access allows freedom of expression on all subjects, and 86 percent agreed or agreed strongly that freedom of expression should be guaranteed.
Sixty percent of respondents agreed or agreed strongly that Internet access has contributed significantly to civil action and political awareness in their country.
Internet censorship:
Thirty percent of users agreed strongly that censorship currently exists on the Internet.
Sixty-six percent of respondents agreed or agreed strongly that governments in countries with no Internet censorship have a responsibility to keep the Internet free of censorship in countries where the Internet is being censored/controlled/shut down.
More than 70 percent of users agreed or agreed strongly that more government involvement would make the Internet too controlled or would limit content they can access.
More than two-thirds agreed or agreed strongly that increased government control would inhibit the growth of the Internet and/or stifle innovation.
Online privacy and identity:
Even when users know they are sharing personal data with a site or service, most users (80 percent) do not always read privacy policies and a significant fraction (12 percent) of respondents admitted that they never read privacy policies.
Of users who logged into online services, only half reported that they logged out.
Nineteen percent of respondents were aware of circumstances in which personal data was used in a way they did not expect. The most commonly reported consequences were: unsolicited communications, stolen personal data, private data becoming public, impersonation, and financial loss.
The Internet and economic and societal issues:
Nearly two-thirds of respondents agreed or agreed strongly that the Internet would play a significant role in solving global problems, including reducing child mortality (63 percent), improving maternal health (65 percent), eliminating extreme poverty and hunger (61 percent), and preventing the trafficking of women and children (69 percent).
An even higher percentage of respondents agreed or agreed strongly that the Internet would increase global trade and economic relationships (81 percent), improve the quality of education (80 percent), and improve emergency response during a natural disaster (77 percent).
A majority of respondents felt strongly that the Internet plays a significant role in making improvements to business, science, and technology in areas such as: expanding the availability of goods and services (66 percent), allowing entrepreneurs to conduct business across all countries (65 percent), and advancing science and technology and creating a technologically recognized workforce (61 percent).
Attitudes towards the Internet:
Ninety-eight percent of users agreed or strongly agreed the Internet is essential for their access to knowledge and education.
More than 80 percent agreed or agreed strongly that the Internet plays a positive role for their individual lives as well as society at large.
Nearly 75 percent of users strongly agreed that access to the Internet allows them to seek any information that interests them.
General Internet usage:
Internet users nearly universally (96 percent) indicated they accessed the Internet at least once a day.
More than 90 percent of Internet users surveyed globally indicated they use social media, with a majority (60 percent) using it daily, an increase of 10 percent over 2011.
Connection speed (73 percent) and reliability (69 percent) ranked slightly above more affordable monthly fees (68 percent) among factors that would increase usage. Other factors included more content in their local language (50 percent) and more online availability of government and/or community services (49 percent).
The Internet Society’s Global Internet User Survey (GIUS) provides reliable information relevant to issues important to the Internet’s future. As an ongoing effort, the survey provides information, informs and supports the activities of the global Internet Society community, and makes the data it collects openly available for all. While other ICT surveys focus on economic, infrastructure, or other Internet use indicators, the GIUS focuses on users, which are the source of innovation that has driven the Internet’s development, evolution, and dramatic growth over the past four decades. The first GIUS in 2011 gathered the responses of 6,088 Internet users in 11 countries.
This year, the GIUS was conducted on behalf of the Internet Society from July to August 2012 by Redshift Research, a leading business market research firm. The survey questionnaire engaged 10,789 Internet users in 20 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, UAE, and the United States. Of the respondents, 53 percent were male and 47 percent were female. Results from the survey varied across countries; future reports will provide additional insight into these variations.
The complete questionnaire, full results—including results by country—and more information on survey methodology are available at: http://www.internetsociety.org/survey

Secrets of Thailand's Tourism Success
Why the Amazing Kingdom is notching up record-breaking arrivals, and what challenges it faces next
The Thai tourism industry has become by far the Kingdom's most successful service sector, one of its leading job-creators and foreign exchange-earners. Behind this success lies a fascinating history of great branding campaigns, policy and regulatory changes, budgetary bunfights, strategic thinking and influence of Royal events.
Crafted and honed by gutsy Tourism Authority of Thailand executives, visionary hoteliers, fiesty airline executives and clear-thinking tour operators, Thailand's tourism marketing genius has helped the industry overcome economic crises, health pandemics, natural disasters, military coups, political wrangling and global and regional problems.
But this success has now bred a new set of management challenges that may be more difficult to overcome.
Travel Impact Newswire Executive Editor Imtiaz Muqbil has been monitoring the pulse of the Thai travel industry full-time since 1981. Industry conferences and management meetings wishing to benefit from a treasure trove of insights and hindsights on one of the world's great tourism success stories can drop an email here: imtiaz@travel-impact-newswire.com.
The Rise of the Whistle-Blowers
Read Imtiaz Muqbil's 100% accurate forecast in the columns gagged by the Bangkok Post
For 15 years (January 1997-July 2012), Imtiaz Muqbil penned a hard-hitting fortnightly column called “Soul-Searching” in the so-called “newspaper you can trust”. In July 2012, the column was gagged, with no explanation.

Producers could finally be responsible for packaging waste in Ontario
Katherine Martinko feistyredhair

The Canadian province is overhauling its recycling program, which would include holding producers accountable for their wasteful packaging designs.
I do not agree with most of the cuts made by my provincial Conservative government in recent months. Numerous important public services have been slashed, leaving individuals and rural communities in the lurch. But I must admit I was pleasantly surprised to hear on CBC Radio that it is planning to overhaul the provincial recycling program. The plan is still vague, and skeptics such as Toronto city councillor Gord Perks have pointed out that every premier for the past twenty years has promised the same thing:
This is a plan to have a plan to have a plan. I was consulted on almost exactly the same thing twenty years ago when Tony Clement was the Minister of Environment in Ontario. https://t.co/IgCicJjJWR
— Gord Perks (@gordperks) August 15, 2019
There is, however, an aspect to this latest version that seems TreeHugger-worthy. The province would hand over responsibility for dealing with packaging to producers, instead of forcing consumers to shoulder the cost through their municipal taxes. This is exactly what we've been arguing on TreeHugger for years, that people have accepted the recycling myth for far too long and need to understand that dealing with single-use disposables would be easier and more effective if products were designed differently in the first place. As the Ellen MacArthur Foundation states in its principles for a circular economy,
"Waste and pollution are not accidents, but the consequences of decisions made at the design stage, where around 80 percent of environmental impacts are determined."
For Doug Ford's Conservatives, the argument is financial. Environment minister Jeff Yurek said, "It costs municipalities and taxpayers millions of dollars a year and those costs are expected to increase by approximately $10 million a year after 2019." CBC says that shifting responsibility for the recycling program to producers would save municipalities more than $125 million annually.
The CEO of Retail Council of Canada, Diane Brisebois, supports the report, saying that reducing waste has become a global trend and that consumers are asking for less packaging.
The report also recommends streamlining the province's list of recyclable materials, rather than leaving it up to municipalities to determine what gets recycled and what does not. This would reduce confusion for residents and make it easier to educate the entire population through mass media.
According to Environmental Defence, a Canadian environmental action group, this streamlining process should include the elimination of certain non-recyclable or difficult-to-recycle materials, such as multi-layered coffee cups and black takeout food containers, and limit the amount of disposable plastic used. A provincial ban would force retailers to come up with greener alternatives.
The bad news is that the plan isn't set to be implemented until 2023, which is absurdly far away. The citizens of Canada would like to see action taken immediately.

'You called me a liar,' Warren told Sanders post-Iowa debate

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elizabeth Warren accused Bernie Sanders of calling her a liar before a national television audience during a tense, post-debate exchange in which she refused to shake his outstretched hand, according to audio released by CNN.
The Democratic presidential rivals are strong progressives who had steadfastly refused to attack each other for more than a year on the campaign trail. But that changed Monday, when Warren said that, during a private meeting between the two in 2018, he disagreed with her that a woman could win the presidency.
Sanders, a senator from Vermont, has denied that, and did so again during Tuesday night's presidential debate, which was hosted by CNN and the Des Moines Register and held in Iowa, whose first-in-the-nation caucuses are Feb. 3. Warren stood by her account and said it was time to confront the larger issues of sexism in politics.
That exchange lasted only a few minutes. But after the debate was over, Warren, a Massachusetts senator, approached Sanders, who put out his hand for her to shake. Instead, she confronted him, and the two talked briefly in tense tones.
Neither campaign would confirm what was said Tuesday night, but CNN released the audio Wednesday. As she is refusing his extended hand, Warren repeats, “I think you called me a liar on national TV." Sanders gently brushes her with his hand, then says, “Let's not do it right now.”
“You want to have that discussion?” he continues. “We'll have that discussion." Warren replies, “Anytime.”
Sanders then adds, “You called me a liar,” before concluding, “All right, let's not do it now.”
The exchange was interrupted by fellow candidate and environmentalist Tom Steyer, who said, “I don't want to get in the middle of it” and greeted Sanders as the senator walked away. In Las Vegas on Wednesday, Steyer said his attempt to offer a greeting and thanks to both senators turned awkward.
“Look, what goes on between those two senators is between them. You know, that's really a private matter, which is why I wouldn't comment on it before. I honestly think it's between them," he said.
Warren's and Sanders' aides have for days attempted to de-escalate the feud as some progressives worry that ill will between the cause's two leading voices will ultimately hurt both of them and could benefit more moderate Democratic presidential hopefuls like former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Release of the audio is likely to ensure the political fight continues — at least for now.
Associated Press writer Michelle L. Price in Las Vegas contributed to this report.

Move over SanDisk, this 512GB microSD card is now the biggest money can buy
Josh Levenson | November 13, 2018 12:58 pm GMT
SanDisk’s 400GB microSD card is no longer the largest of its kind in terms of storage capacity. That would be Integral Memory’s all-new 512GB chip.
The firm’s 512GB SDXC UHS-I U1 microSD card has a maximum transfer speed of 80MB/sec, making it perfect for recording – and viewing – high-resolution 4K video.
However, former market leader SanDisk’s 400GB card is a little faster, with a peak transfer speed of 100MB/sec and an App Performance Class rating.
This doesn’t mean Integral Memory’s offering won’t be able to run local applications smoothly – because it should. It just means it hasn’t been tested by an impartial adjudicator. And since it’s only now been unveiled, it’s likely Integral’s offering will receive the certification in the future.

“As a company, we are very proud to be the first to achieve the 512GB capacity milestone in microSDXC,” said James Danton, Marketing Manager, Integral Memory UK.
The 512GB microSD card will hit the shelves in February. There’s no word on pricing, but it’s safe to assume it will be north of £200. SanDisk’s chip retails for around £219.

OSAGIE, LEVINE & ADEOYE PROGRESS IN SOPOT
Great Britain & Northern Ireland got their IAAF World Indoor Championships campaign underway this morning with Nigel Levine (coach: Linford Christie), Andrew Osagie (Craig Winrow) and Margaret Adeoye (Christie) securing their passage into the next round in Sopot, Poland.
In a strong line-up in heat three, Levine went up against reigning World Indoor champion Nery Brenes and Olympic 400m silver medallist Luguelin Santos finishing in third place. In running 46.64, the 24 year old secured his berth in tonight’s semi-final as a fastest qualifier.
In the women’s equivalent, Margaret Adeoye, who was crowned British champion at the Sainsbury’s British Championships last month, clocked a season’s best of 52.69 to qualify for this evening’s semi-final.
Adeoye said: “It was messy. I just did my best and I just got caught up in a bit of a mess. I’m just a bit disappointed to be honest. At the break I had a bit of a thing and I was hitting their feet. I just put myself in the wrong position at the break.”
With only one person from each heat guaranteeing a place in the 800m final, Osagie had to produce his very best to secure his place as a fastest finisher. The World Indoor bronze medallist came through in 1:45.88 and feels in good shape in the lead up to Sunday’s finale.
The 26 year old said: “Tough is the first word I can think of. I knew it was going to be a decent pace or it needed to be and I had prepared for that. I felt quite strong at the end and quite good. I knew I was in the time with about 100m to go and I knew if I finished strong I would be within the time. I am and now I’m looking forward to another final.”
Mukhtar Mohammed (Jon Bigg) was unable to follow his teammate into the next round, finishing fourth in a time of 1:47.59.
“It was tough and tough for a first heat with one qualifying spot,” he said. “I gave it everything and ran a season’s best. It was great to run against a world class field and I will definitely learn from this experience.”
Laura Muir (Andy Young) narrowly out missed on the 800m final finishing second in her heat with a time of 2:02.55, leaving her just outside the qualifying places. The 20 year old admitted that a tussle for positions at the start of the race made it difficult to close on leading pack.
“I tried to start off quick to get a good position but I think I got a little bit caught out and because I was in lane one, the field came across and I got a bit blocked off. I lost a lot of ground it was a case of trying to get back into position and I lost a lot of energy.”
After taking the lead out in the 1500m with three laps to go in the first heat, British champion Lee Emanuel (Joe Franklin) ended up finishing in fifth place after a collision, which put an end to the GB & NI debutant’s hopes of progressing to the final.
Emanuel said: “There wasn’t much I could do to be honest. I had a good position but then my stride was affected. I got back in the race and I was there with 200m to go, but I’m really disappointed with the way I finished today. I felt I could close the gap and make the final. It’s sad but these things happen.
“I was running on one leg for a bit and I was on the inside of the track. It didn’t knock me massively off my rhythm and it’s not an excuse as I got myself back in the race and I should have done better but you can’t plan for these things to happen.”
Chris O’Hare also didn’t progress further in the competition, clocking 3:40.06 to finish fourth in heat two. Although the Edinburgh AC athlete was disappointed with not advancing, he admitted that he gave it his best at Sopot’s Ergo Arena.
“Before the race and you look at the start list and you think he’s quick, he’s quick,” O’Hare explained. “You’ve got to come out and leave it all on the track and come away hoping you have done enough. I gave it my all,
“I couldn’t have given an extra step. It’s championship racing for you. I tell myself as long as I give my all, that’s good enough for me. I’m disappointed I didn’t make it (to the final).”
Richard Buck (Nick Dakin) was disqualified in the 400m ending his individual hopes in Sopot, and despite coming away frustrated, he is hoping to add to his impressive 4x400m medal collection over the weekend.
“It’s really strange indoors because you accept a lot of physicality in the race. From my perspective, I’ve been on the inside of somebody doing that to me and if you’re on the outside, nine times out of 10 you win that battle and this time at the World Indoors, there’s a lot at stake. It hasn’t affected the result, but I am surprised at the disqualification because for me there wasn’t enough contact and it could have gone the other way. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to redeem myself in the relay.”
Shana Cox (George Williams), who ran in the heat after her GB & NI teammate Adeoye, came through her heat in fourth place in 53.10, but wasn’t enough to secure a semi-final berth.
“I didn’t really finish where I wanted to. There was some good parts to the race and some not so good parts of it. I will take some time with my coach to look at it and pick it apart,” Cox explained.
