'Borrow!' Says UBS
By The Moscow Times
ST. PETERSBURG — Russian companies have room to borrow more and may increase their ratio of debt to equity to as much as 50 percent, according to UBS.
The ratio may rise to between 40 percent and 50 percent from 10 percent now, Carsten Kengeter, chief executive officer of UBS's investment bank, said Saturday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. That process could take five years or more, he said.
"The global average is 40 to 50. At some point Russia is going to creep up there," Kengeter said. "It will be important to have a slightly more efficient capital structure, raising the level of debt a little bit so that return on equity could go up."

Homefront: 'My landlord wants to charge us Dh500 for every maintenance issue. Is that legal?'
The reader has been asked to sign a contract that states they must pay every time a problem arises in the villa
Property expert Mario Volpi analyses whether charging a tenant a fixed fee for maintenance is legal. Pawan Singh / The National
As we were signing the tenancy contract, the owner of the villa we are leasing said he would charge us Dh500 every time there was a maintenance issue. He wrote it as an addendum on the contract. I questioned this and asked him whether he had a correct Arabic version of the contract, which lacked the addendum. As tenants are we responsible for the oral clause that was not in the signed contract? Also is charging for maintenance in a rental legit? In the US it never could happen. As a note, we've had several maintenance issues in the first month - all problems that were simply not fixed before we moved in. JD, Dubai
A tenant and landlord are only bound by a written contract that is read, understood and signed by both parties. Oral clauses do not stand up in court.
On the subject of maintenance, it is important to understand what the industry norm is when it comes to who is responsible for what between a landlord and tenant. Major maintenance is normally the responsibility of the landlord and minor is on the tenant. Any single maintenance issue that costs less than Dh500 is normally regarded as minor and therefore is the responsibility of the tenant but any single maintenance issue on the property that amounts to more than Dh500 is regarded as major and therefore the responsibility of the landlord. I have never heard of a landlord charging the tenant when maintenance issues arise, this is a bit like being castigated financially if the property breaks down.
You should not agree to this clause, oral or written, as this is unfair. If any repairs or maintenance are required that were caused directly by you, then I can understand the landlord wishing to charge you for said actions, other than that it should be as per the major/ minor procedure.

Homefront: My tenant wants better security in my villa. Should I pay for this?
Homefront: 'How do I get the best deal if I'm breaking my apartment lease early?'
I signed a tenancy contract on April 1, which will start on April 15. However due to job insecurity and possible job cuts I now need to cancel it. What will be the possible implications for this? MS, Dubai
The key to getting your contract cancelled lies in careful negotiations with the landlord. Despite the fact the contract has not started yet, I presume it has been signed and therefore agreed by all parties.
I suggest you now organise a face-to-face meeting with the landlord to explain your situation. I’m sure he would not want to have a tenant who is not secure in his job and therefore have rental payment issues in the future. Under most cases, there could be a financial penalty but this is very much up to the landlord to decide. He now has to find a new tenant so I’m sure he would be more willing to allow you to cancel the contract if you were able to find someone to replace you as the tenant.
Homefront: Can I use a power of attorney to sell my Abu Dhabi apartment?
Homefront: Can a developer fine me for late payment a year after handover?
We have just received a notice in Arabic via courier, which our landlord’s secretary informs us is a 12-month eviction notice as they are changing the six villa compound in Umm Suqeim from residential to commercial use. We believe they will just be revamping the compound and reletting at a higher price. Firstly, is this legal ? Secondly, would there be some kind of public plans that they would have needed to submit? Ideally we would like to stay in the property. PH, Dubai
A landlord is perfectly within his rights to demand eviction of the tenant for reasons of demolition and reconstruction but there does have to be necessary licenses and or technical reports obtained from the Dubai municipality. This eviction has to be communicated in writing via notary public or registered mail giving 12 months' notice.
Given you will be directly impacted by this decision, you would be quite within your rights to request sight of these documents to prove that the eviction is legitimate.

Study: Child injury from abuse more likely with male caregiver

In the vast majority of child abuse and neglect cases, a male caregiver was responsible, a new study says. File Photo by nnarigorjeva/Shutterstock
June 26 (UPI) -- At least one in seven children in the United States has been abused or neglected in the last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the vast majority of those cases, the children were abused by a male caregiver, according to a study published Wednesday in The Journal of Pediatrics.
"Given that we found strong associations between certain caregiver features and the likelihood of abuse, it is vitally important for clinicians evaluating the child to ask about who was present at the time of injury," Mary Clyde Piece, a researcher from Children's Hospital of Chicago and study principal investigator, said in a news release.
The researchers analyzed injury data of more than 1,600 children under age 4 who visited emergency departments. About 77 percent of those children were abused and almost always at the hands of a male caregiver, according to the study.
RELATED Common infant vaccine linked to lower risk of Type 1 diabetes
In contrast, children are far less likely to suffer injuries from female babysitters.
"Through a better understanding of caregiver features, screening for child abuse can be refined, evidence-informed clinical decisions can be made, prevention efforts can be focused on populations at greatest risk and policies can be tailored accordingly," Piece said.
Each year, 1,700 children die from child abuse, but the researchers hope their findings will bring more awareness to the problem.
RELATED Male victims of domestic violence face barriers to seeking help
"Child abuse prevention efforts frequently target mothers, but our study confirms previous research that the presence of male caregivers poses a greater risk of abuse, so the focus must shift for prevention strategies to be successful," Pierce said.
"Future prevention strategies also should educate parents that leaving their young children in the care of people unfamiliar with the challenges of caregiving, even for brief periods of time, can be dangerous," he added.

Sessions slams sanctuary laws in speech to California police officers

March 7 (UPI) -- Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Wednesday he will "use every power I have to stop" California from impeding federal immigration officers.
Speaking in Sacramento at an event sponsored by 16,000-member the California Peace Officers Association, Sessions was critical of Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's recent tipoffs to immigrant populations of impending raids and deportations.
The speech came one day after the Trump administration sued California over state laws that protect its population of undocumented immigrants. Commonly known as sanctuary laws, those statutes, among other actions, prevent businesses from allowing federal immigration officers to enter their property without a warrant.
"California, we have a problem. A series of actions and events has occurred that directly and adversely impact the work of our federal officers. For example, the mayor of Oakland has been actively seeking to help illegal aliens avoid apprehension by ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement]," Sessions said. "Her actions support those who flout our laws and boldly validate the illegality. There's no other way to interpret her remarks. To make matters worse, the elected lieutenant governor of this state [Gavin Newsom] praised her for doing so. Bragging about and encouraging the obstruction of our law enforcement and the law is an embarrassment to this proud and important state."
RELATED House Republicans call for special counsel to investigate DoJ
Sessions said sanctuary laws "intentionally obstruct the work of our sworn immigration enforcement officers to intentionally use every power it has to undermine duly-established immigration law in America."
"California won't let employers voluntarily allow ICE agents on their property. And California requires employers to give notice to employees before ICE inspects their workplace. Just imagine if a state passed a law forbidding employers from cooperating with OSHA in ensuring workplace safety, or the EPA, looking for a polluter. That would obviously be absurd. But it would be no different in principle from this new law enacted by California."

Chapter 1686 - Little Red!
While retreating, the fire dragon let out a howl and used its full power. Fire covered its body and it rapidly retreated.
The way Wang Lin had casually gathered the scattered fire was frightening, and it also clearly felt the fire essence in Wang Lin’s body.
It also had a fire essence, but it was obviously a lot weaker compared to Wang Lin’s fire essence. As a result, this fire dragon simply didn’t have the courage to fight Wang Lin.
Feeling terrified, the fire dragon rapidly retreated. Wang Lin calmly looked at the retreating fire dragon. He squeezed his right hand and crushed the fire in his right hand.
A heat wave spread out from Wang Lin’s palm in all directions. Want Lin didn’t chase but casually formed a seal.
This seal was given to him by the second generation Vermillion Bird to control this fire dragon!
After this seal appeared, the fire dragon that had retreated far let out a miserable scream. An identical seal appeared between its eyebrows.
This seal was deeply imprinted on its head, engraved in the bones of its soul!
“None of you Vermillion Birds are good people, it’s so painful… You said you’d let me go but still left this seal on me…” The fire around the fire dragon collapsed, revealing its body. In a flash, its body expanded to more than 100,000 feet.
Its large dragon body gave off a powerful pressure.
However, at this moment, this pressure couldn’t affect Wang Lin at all. The fire dragon’s body twisted and the pain from between its eyebrows made it shed dragon tears.
“So painful… I won’t run. I surrender, I surrender. You can do as you wish, I won’t run anymore…”
Wang Lin dispelled the seal in his right hand and, in the blink of an eye, stood on top of the fire dragon’s head. The dragon wanted to struggle, but it remembered the intense pain it had just suffered and shivered in fear. It was too scared to resist, and water vapor filled its eyes and it was filled with grievance.
It looked into the distance where the Celestial Dragon Sect was and even more water vapor gathered in its eyes.
“Come on, my Celestial Dragon Sect… Damn it, I shouldn’t have come this way… I should have gone elsewhere…”
Wang Lin sat above the fire dragon’s head. Waves of hot energy came from the dragon’s head and surrounded him as he looked ahead. Even his vision became distorted from these heat waves.
The divine senses from the third step cultivators of the Ancient Star System were still in the area. They had watched Wang Lin capture this fire dragon, but they weren’t surprised. Although this fire dragon was strong, equal to an early stage Nirvana Void cultivator, to them it was simply too weak.
If it was the before Wang Lin knew this was a cave world, he would’ve still captured this dragon, but he wouldn’t have acted so quickly, without wasting time.
This dragon was different from all the demonic beasts Wang Lin had seen before. Not only could it speak, but it was very intelligent; not even the Nether Beast was a match.
It even called itself a “Celestial Dragon” and had created the Celestial Dragon Sect. It had also enslaved cultivators to serve it; this already showed how extraordinary the dragon was!
Most importantly, this dragon’s body contained a faint force of the celestial bloodline. This was very weak and was very difficult to notice. However, Wang Lin had the Immortal Celestial Body blood drop, so he was able to faintly see it.
Wang Lin stood above the giant dragon head. His eyes shined as he looked at the fire dragon below him.
There were only three hours left until the end of the three year period. These three hours were enough for Wang Lin to get some information from this dragon.
“The Immortal Astral Continent is your hometown, right…” Wang Lin’s divine sense that surrounded the dragon suddenly sent out a message.
The fire dragon was startled. It blinked with its giant, dragon eyes and began to shake its big head.
Wang Lin coldly stare at this dragon as he raised his right hand and the aura of a soul search spell appeared on his palm. He looked at the fire dragon and slowly sent out a message.
“With your intelligence, you know the effect of the spell in my hand. I’ll ask you again: are you from the Immortal Astral Continent?”
Horror appeared in the dragon’s eyes, but for some reason, it looked at the thousands of Celestial Dragon Sect cultivators in the distance. It clenched its teeth and shook its head.
Wang Lin frowned. He couldn’t use the soul search spell right now. This was the Ancient Star System, and there were divine senses of several powerful cultivators here. If he used soul search, it would give them a chance to attack.
As a result, it would affect his plan in three hours.
His eyes became even more cold. Wang Lin scattered the soul search spell and was going to send the dragon into his storage space. He was going to get some answers from it after he dealt with the Ancient Celestial Realm first.
However, just as he was about the scatter his soul search spell, the fire dragon’s plead entered his mind.
“This… Can you give me some face… You can see my disciples are looking at me. If you can give me some face and cooperate with me, then I’ll cooperate with you and tell you everything, OK…”
Wang Lin was startled and revealed a strange expression. He looked at the fire dragon below him, and after a long time, he nodded.
The moment the fire dragon saw Wang Lin agree, it was very happy. It straightened its body and flew out from under Wng Lin.
Its eyes shined brightly and it looked very majestic. Its large, dragon claws pointed at Wang Lin and its mighty voice echoed.
“You said you want to enter my Celestial Dragon Sect. This dragon won’t take offense to what you have done and will let you join my Celestial Dragon Sect, er…” As the fire dragon spoke, it paid attention to Wang Lin’s expression. When it saw Wang Lin’s brow began to wrinkle, it trembled and quickly said,
“Uh… For a powerful person like you to join my Celestial Dragon Sect, it is my luck. Hehe, hehe, you can be the vice sect master…”
After it spoke, the frightened cultivators, shocked by what had happened, were all startled for a moment.
Before those cultivators could react, the fire dragon suddenly turned around toward them and let out a roar.
“OK, all of you, go back. This Celestial Dragon will give some pointers to the new vice sect master and will be busy. I’ll be back later, so watch the sect for me!”
Although those cultivators were filled with doubt, they didn’t dare to display it. They all revealed expressions of awe toward the fire dragon like and then respectfully left.
After all the cultivators left, the majestic aura of the dragon disappeared. It had an awkward expression and was about to speak when Wang Lin stood back on its head. Wang Lin waved his sleeves and brought the dragon to where he was sitting before.
“Master, this little dragon indeed came from the Immortal Astral Continent. If you have any questions, please ask. This little dragon promises to tell you everything.” The fire dragon revealed a flattering expression and quickly sent out a divine sense message.
“How did you enter this place from the Immortal Astral Continent?” Wang Lin sat down on the dragon.
“I followed my former master and a damned fellow. That damned fellow knew Master favored me more and refused to accept it in his heart. So he told Master that the Seven Dao Sect had a treasure and deceived my former master to come here...
“I was faithful to my master and was naturally worried about him, so I came with him…” The fire dragon seemed to be filled with indignation. As it sent out the divine sense messages, it looked into the distance as if it was afraid.
After hearing this, Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. He looked at the fire dragon for a long time until the fire dragon’s hairs stood up and it sent out a divine sense message.
“What I’m saying is true, uh… A bit of a lie. I didn’t come because I was loyal to my former master, but my former master rode me here…” the fire dragon spoke carefully.
“What is your name?” Wang Lin’s mind trembled. He had a faint guess!
“Master, you can call me Little Red, my nickname is Little Red.” The dragon waved its big head and sent out a message.
Little Red!! Wang Lin’s eyes suddenly shined brightly. He stared at the fire dragon and his mind rumbled. The madman’s words echoed in his mind.
“Little Red, Little Red, where are you…”
“Hmph, all of this king’s things are with Little Red, go find Little Red for them…”
“Little Red, quickly go find my big brother. Tell him I’m being bullied…”
Not only did the fire dragon feel his hair stand up under Wang Lin’s gaze, its heart also pounded. It didn’t know if it had offended Wang Lin and was about to send out a message in fear.
“Who is Lian Daofei to you?” Wang Lin slowly send out a message.
After the fire dragon heard “Lian Daofei,” it was startled for a moment.
“Ah? You know my master? Lian Daofei was my former master… It’s unfortunate that he is dead…”
“Sure enough!” Wang Lin’s mind continued to tremble. He no longer asked question and put the fire dragon inside his storage space. He could no longer ask any more questions.
Time was almost up, so he had to maintain a peace of mind so he could use his full cultivation. He needed to remain calm!
If he got more information from the fire dragon, it would be very difficult for Wang Lin to stay calm. At this moment, Wang Lin sat there with his eyes closed to calm the waves set off in his heart.
Time passed. As the hearts of the people observing Wang Lin with their divine sense continued to speculate, the last three hours slowly went by!
The moment the last three hours passed, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes!

Innovative greenhouse stores heat underground
It enables Threefold Farm in Pennsylvania to harvest figs well into December.
Energy, Food & Agriculture
(Photo: Courtesy of Threefold Farm)
When they started Threefold Farm in Pennsylvania, Tim Clymer and his wife decided to distinguish themselves by growing unusual crops like pawpaws and kiwi berries.
They also wanted to grow figs, but to do so, they needed to heat a greenhouse over the winter.
Clymer: “If we had to heat with propane, I don’t know that we could grow figs economically.”
So the Clymers installed what’s called a climate battery greenhouse. It makes use of the extra heat greenhouses create on sunny days. But instead of venting that heat, the system pumps it through tubes underground. The heat transfers to the soil.
'We're using the earth. You can think of it as a big thermal battery.' Click To Tweet
Clymer: “We’re using the earth. You can think of it as a big thermal battery.”
When it’s cold, fans draw the heat stored in the earth back to the greenhouse to warm the figs.
Clymer: “We are harvesting our last figs about mid-December. So I was pleased.”
The Clymers are sharing their greenhouse designs with other farmers who want to extend their growing season without the environmental and financial costs of propane heat.
Clymer: “My wife and I feel like we’re called to be good stewards of what we’ve been given, and so if we can lessen our footprint, we feel like that’s the right thing to do for our farm.”

Into The .Wav: Mesto’s Journey From Unknown Producer to Martin Garrix Collaborator
Cody Smith December 29, 2015
EditorialEditorialsFuture HouseHouseInterviewInto The .WAV
With the advent of accessible music production software comes an onslaught of young, yet capable producers and DJs. Making and mixing music no longer belongs to the rich and experienced, and cities like Amsterdam help foster aspiring youngsters dreaming to become the next Tiësto or Armin van Buuren. A 16-year-old Dutch producer and DJ by the name of Mesto currently sits on the precipice of international exposure, playing gigs in Amsterdam and even courting the attention of fellow Dutch prodigy Martin Garrix.
Known for his house originals that amass 90k to 200k listeners per track on his Soundcloud page, Mesto sits at a unique place in today’s EDM world. He uploads a steady stream of original tracks and remixes, all while DJing for local EDM fans in Amsterdam. He downloaded the production program Fruity Loops 1.5 years ago, and seemingly overnight earned a swelling fanbase. He started DJing after promoting for a party and asking the owner for a shot at playing the event, going on to playing his first event with 50 or so attendees. Now hundreds flock to his shows.
Even though many of his tracks fit into the future house genre, Mesto aims to experiment with all of house music and other genres. This mantra ties into his DJ sets, which he states are never planned and always showcase the music he loves. Inspired by producers like Oliver Heldens and Fox Stevenson, it’s no surprise Mesto’s talents eventually captivated Martin Garrix. The two went on to collaborate with Justin Mylo to create the future house/big room fusion track “Bouncybob,” which Garrix debuted with Mesto and Justin Mylo live during ADE this past year. Read on to learn how the two Dutch producers linked up:
You’ve been involved with Martin Garrix over the past year. How did you two meet?
It’s a funny story because he lived like two streets away from me. I was playing in a club in my hometown when he came by (we already knew each other a little). He came to me and he said that he liked my music a lot. After that night we kept in contact and “Bouncybob” was born!
Since meeting Garrix, how have you two collaborated? What was the experience like?
It was very nice to work with him. It was such a funny process during “Bouncybob,” we really tried to make it different and more groovy. I think the combination between our styles worked out really well; in the track you can hear our 3 styles all combined together.
You guys are releasing “Bouncybob” for free. Can you describe the process behind creating this collaboration, and what inspired the decision to release it for free?
The track is already almost a year old, and finally it’s getting released. We wanted to make something that wasn’t done before, and the idea was to make a ‘Bigroom meets Future House’ kinda drop. Because it took so long, we decided to give it for free. I’m so happy with all the positive reactions!
Bouncybob free download December 31st!!
Posted by Martin Garrix on Monday, December 28, 2015
Do you have any collaborations you can reveal for the future?
At the moment I’m working on many collaborations, but also many solo tracks. At the moment I’m spending a lot of time in the studio with Mike Williams and Justin Mylo; it’s a fun combination because we’re also very good friends. I would love to be in the studio with Fox Stevenson!
Where do you hope to take your music and your brand in the coming years?
I hope to make everyone happy with the music I make and play all over the world, I’m super thankful for all the support I’m getting!
“Bouncybob” releases for free on December 31, but we wager this won’t be the last we hear of Mesto. If anything, “Bouncybob” marks only the beginning for the young producer and DJ. All the elements mix together to predict a future star: genre-defying tracks, captivating live shows, sign-offs from one of EDM’s most influential artists, and a shared heritage with many of electronic music’s greatest figures. 2015 opened the floodgates for Mesto, but 2016’s coming wave will launch him to the stratosphere.
We’ll leave you with this, his recently launched mix series which delivers on all fronts. Enjoy!

Equifax: An additional 2.5M Americans affected by breach
The total number of US consumers impacted by the breach comes to 145.5 million, the company says.
By Stephanie Condon for Between the Lines | October 2, 2017 -- 22:10 GMT (15:10 PDT) | Topic: Security
Credit rating agency Equifax was hit by the mother of all hacks. As many as 143 million consumers -- mostly Americans, but some UK and Canadian residents -- were affected by a data breach involving highly sensitive and personal information. Not to be outdone, the company fumbled its incident response and remediation effort. Its support website looked like a phishing site, Its data breach checking tool didn't work, and the company was forced to pull a clause from its site that effectively prevented aggrieved customers from suing the company.
Equifax says an additional 2.5 million Americans were impacted by the massive data breach it disclosed last month, bringing the total up from 143 million to 145.5 million.
Additionally, the credit rating and reporting firm reports that 8,000 Canadian consumers were impacted. Initially, Equifax said as many as 100,000 Canadian citizens may have been impacted by the breach, but the company said Monday that this number "was preliminary and did not materialize."
The new figures come from a finalized forensic investigation conducted by the cybersecurity firm Madiant.
"Mandiant did not identify any evidence of additional or new attacker activity or any access to new databases or tables," Equifax said in a release. "Instead, this additional population of consumers was confirmed during Mandiant's completion of the remaining investigative tasks and quality assurance procedures built into the investigative process."
Mandiant also said there's no evidence the attackers accessed databases outside of the US.
Equifax previously reported that, in addition to the American and Canadian consumers impacted, around 400,000 UK consumers may have been affected as well. The forensic investigation related to UK consumers has been completed, the company said today. However, the results are still being analyzed, and Equifax is still engaged in "discussions with regulators in the United Kingdom regarding the scope of the company's consumer notifications."
Equifax has taken serious criticism for botching its response to the data breach. In its Monday update, the company said it will mail written notices to all of the new potentially impacted Americans. The feature on its website that helps US consumers determine whether they were impacted will be updated to reflect the additional potentially impacted consumers no later than October 8.
"I want to apologize again to all impacted consumers," the new interim CEO, Paulino do Rego Barros, Jr., said in a statement. "As this important phase of our work is now completed, we continue to take numerous steps to review and enhance our cybersecurity practices. We also continue to work closely with our internal team and outside advisors to implement and accelerate long-term security improvements."
Barros took over as CEO last week, after Equifax chairman and chief executive Richard Smith stepped down.

Prosecutor Dunnings Expected In Court Today
Posted: Tue 7:01 AM, Mar 22, 2016 |
Updated: Tue 8:06 AM, Mar 22, 2016
Lansing, MI - Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III is expected back court this afternoon.
He's scheduled for a pre-exam in the 54A District Court in Lansing, but judges in that court won't be hearing his case.
Judges in Ingham County, and now Lansing, have recused themselves from Dunnings' case. A Jackson County judge instead will take over.
The Ingham County Prosecutor is facing 15 criminal charges in connection to prostitution, including pandering which is a felony that could send him to prison for up to 20 years.
He was arraigned last week on all 15 counts announced by Attorney General Bill Schuette.
He says Dunnings paid for sex hundreds of times, trolling escort websites weekly for prostitutes. The women reportedly would meet Dunnings at hotels in the Lansing area.
Schuette claims one of the prostitutes even video taped the sexual act.
The Attorney General also says Dunnings used his position of power to order a woman who came to him for help with a case to have sex with him.
Dunning's pre-exam is scheduled for this afternoon at 1:15 p.m.
Because of his long time legal standing in Mid-Michigan, judges in Ingham County in both Mason and Lansing's 54A District Court are off the case.
Jackson County District Judge Michael Klaeren was assigned to the case.
Dunnings has pleaded not guilty. He has not resigned his seat or spoken publicly yet about the charges against him.

Nano ‘hall of mirrors’ causes molecules to mix with light
last modified Oct 04, 2016 03:31 PM
Researchers have successfully used quantum states to mix a molecule with light at room temperature, which will aid in the exploration of quantum technologies and provide new ways to manipulate the physical and chemical properties of matter.
When a molecule emits a blink of light, it doesn’t expect it to ever come back. However researchers, including Winton Scholar Felix Benz, have now managed to place single molecules in such a tiny optical cavity that emitted photons, or particles of light, return to the molecule before they have properly left. The energy oscillates back and forth between light and molecule, resulting in a complete mixing of the two.
Previous attempts to mix molecules with light have been complex to produce and only achievable at very low temperatures, but the researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, have developed a method to produce these ‘half-light’ molecules at room temperature.
These unusual interactions of molecules with light provide new ways to manipulate the physical and chemical properties of matter, and could be used to process quantum information, aid in the understanding of complex processes at work in photosynthesis, or even manipulate the chemical bonds between atoms. The results are reported in the journal Nature.
To use single molecules in this way, the researchers had to reliably construct cavities only a billionth of a metre (one nanometre) across in order to trap light. They used the tiny gap between a gold nanoparticle and a mirror, and placed a coloured dye molecule inside.
“It’s like a hall of mirrors for a molecule, only spaced a hundred thousand times thinner than a human hair,” said Professor Jeremy Baumberg of the NanoPhotonics Centre at Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory, who led the research.
In order to achieve the molecule-light mixing, the dye molecules needed to be correctly positioned in the tiny gap. “Our molecules like to lie down flat on the gold, and it was really hard to persuade them to stand up straight,” said Rohit Chikkaraddy, lead author of the study.
To solve this, the team joined with a team of chemists at Cambridge led by Professor Oren Scherman to encapsulate the dyes in hollow barrel-shaped molecular cages called cucurbiturils, which are able to hold the dye molecules in the desired upright position.
When assembled together correctly, the molecule scattering spectrum splits into two separated quantum states which is the signature of this ‘mixing’. This spacing in colour corresponds to photons taking less than a trillionth of a second to come back to the molecule.
A key advance was to show strong mixing of light and matter was possible for single molecules even with large absorption of light in the metal and at room temperature. “Finding single-molecule signatures took months of data collection,” said Chikkaraddy.
The researchers were also able to observe steps in the colour spacing of the states corresponding to whether one, two, or three molecules were in the gap.
The Cambridge team collaborated with theorists Professor Ortwin Hess at the Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London and Dr Edina Rosta at Kings College London to understand the confinement and interaction of light in such tiny gaps, matching experiments amazingly well.

Tuesday briefing: Data breach "inevitable" under new UK porn registration laws - Open Rights Group
Privacy campaigners have warned against the UK's new age-verification system for all porn sites, the EU has a new tax plan for global tech giants
Tuesday 6 March 2018
Your WIRED daily briefing. Today, privacy campaigners have warned against the UK's new age-verification system for all porn sites, the EU has a new tax plan for global tech giants, graphene can be layered to create a superconductor and more.
1. Open Rights Group warns of "inevitable" breach under new UK porn registration laws
The Open Rights Group has warned that a data breach is "inevitable" when new laws come into force in April requiring UK users to register for accounts on porn sites to provide that they're over 18 (BBC News). The statement comes following the announcement by PornHub parent company Mindgeek of its government-endorsed AgeID verification tool, to be used by every porn site in the UK. Users will be able to verify their age using methods including credit cards, passports and driving licences, but although Mindgeek says it won't store any data, ORG legal director Myles Jackman warns against linking people's legal identities to something as private as porn consumption: "If the age verification process continues in its current fashion, it's a once-in-a-lifetime treasure trove of private information. If it gets hacked, can British citizens ever trust the government again with their data?"
2. The EU has a new tax plan for global tech giants
French minister for the economy, Bruno Le Maire, has revealed in an interview with Le JDD that the EU is developing a new taxation model for multinational tech giants such as Google and Amazon (TechCrunch). Currently, the firms largely avoid local taxes by routing all of their European income through places with low corporate tax rates, such as Luxembourg, Ireland and the Netherlands. Under a new plan, to be detailed in the coming weeks, the companies will instead be taxed on their revenue in each country.
3. Graphene can be layered to create a superconductor
Researchers at MIT have discovered that graphene can be used to create a superconductor – capable of conducting electrons without any resistance – if two layers of the latticed carbon atoms are stacked with one rotated at the "magic angle" of 1.1 degrees (Nature). The findings, published in two new papers by the team, reveal that, when assembled like this, the sheets are highly nonconductive insulators, until a certain level of voltage is applied, at which point electrons flow without resistance across the structure. Lead researcher Prof Pablo Jarillo-Herrero said: "We can now use graphene as a new platform for investigating unconventional superconductivity. One can also imagine making a superconducting transistor out of graphene, which you can switch on and off, from superconducting to insulating. That opens many possibilities for quantum devices"

4. British inventor Trevor Bayliss has died
British inventor Trevor Bayliss, best known for his invention of the wind-up radio, has died aged 80 (The Register). He held patents for over 250 inventions and received national plaudits for his hand-cranked clockwork radio, developed to improve access to public health information in regions with no electricity. However, his later years were spent in poverty as other companies took the idea and modified it to include a rechargeable battery, bypassing Bayliss's patent.
5. How to build the world’s biggest VR website: pivot to hardcore porn
Daniel Peterson runs the world’s biggest virtual-reality website (WIRED). It just happens to be dedicated to porn. He claims his site, VRporn.com, gets 10.5 million views per month. According to SimilarWeb, this is almost double that of Oculus.com, the website for the VR company that Facebook bought for $2 billion (£1.5bn) in 2014. Peterson, 37, created his site in 2013 as a VR fan site: he called it VRporn.com, he says, the way a food blogger might talk about “food porn”. Then he tried a few posts on actual VR porn – and the reaction was immediate.

Drone, Copter Team Kills 2,400 Bombers in Iraq
Author: Noah ShachtmanNoah Shachtman
In Iraq, a hundred-man Army unit is using an array of drones, manned surveillance planes, helicopters, and video downlinks to kill 2,400 bomb-planters and capture 141 more.
The 14-month-old, once-classified Army outfit is called Task Force ODIN, for “observe-detect-identify-neutralize.” It was first disclosed in May. But now, additional details about ODIN are emerging. And the Task Force's "success has led Army officials to expand it and to bring its tactics to Afghanistan," Kris Osborn reports in this week's Defense News.
The unit generally begins its work in the air, high enough for sensor-laden C-12s [reconnaissance planes] and UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] equipped with electro-optical/infrared cameras to remain undetected from the ground.
“Without these technologies, we might never see [the insurgents], because they often plant IEDs [improvised explosive devices] at night,” a senior Army official said. “With manned-unmanned teaming, Apache pilots are on alert while the UAVs find targets. It is crucial to remain undetected, because as soon as you show yourself, [insurgents] take off and get lost in the urban terrain. Now, we track them, follow them, and quietly process targets.”
The images are broadcast to One System Remote Video Transceivers (OSRVTs) on the ground or in command-and-control aircraft. Built on a Panasonic Toughbook laptop computer and a multiband radio receiver, the 20-pound OSRVT can receive video feeds from several varieties of UAVs at the same time. The Army has more than 400 of the terminals, delivered by Textron’s AAI unit under a $70 million deal signed in 2006. They are installed on Strykers, Humvees and A2C2S (Army Airborne Command and Control System) UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
In an August interview with DANGER ROOM, Gen. David Petraeus didn't mention Task Force ODIN by name. But he did talk about how the unit, run out of the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, was proving just how effective network-centric warfare could be. By connecting together drones and copters and ground forces, the Army was able to attack insurgents with previously unheard-of speed and an efficiency.
OK, we've got a UAV overhead. It sees guys planting an IED, now what do you do? OK, well you have to be able to command and control: maybe attack helicopters, maybe ground forces, maybe armed UAVs, maybe F-16s. How do you tie all that together?
...We're really doing it here, in real detail. Three to five times a day that scenario is playing itself out, that one scenario right there.
Colonel A.T. Ball, commander of the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, has a shockingly detailed official article on ODIN's promises and challenges:
The task of integrating numerous non-standard aircraft, several exploitation systems, and dozens of civilian contractors while performing management and oversight for the contracts in place for TF
ODIN is incredibly challenging for a unit deployed in combat and supporting brigade combat teams in the daily fight. This unique task force requires a systems integration officer, contract officer representatives, and government flight representatives in order to ensure that minimum infrastructure and oversight are in place...
TF ODIN also faced complex technical issues pertaining to distribution of full-motion video transmission and broadcast throughout theater. In broadcasting full-motion video across the theater, bandwidth is always a limiting factor. *
Others issues smaller in scale, yet equally as critical, such as ensuring that commercial off-the-shelf avionics and radios were compatible with Army communications security requirements also needed solutions... This is the first time that an entire battalion-sized aviation task force was developed around the concept of using all non-standard material solutions to directly support ground forces in contact.*

Amherst woman dead in DC-area highway crash
by: WIVB-TV Digital Staff
An Amherst woman died earlier this week in a crash in Maryland, on the Baltimore Washington Parkway.
Brittany Burks was pronounced dead at the scene of the Monday evening crash, according to the United States Park Police. She was 27 years old.
Police said that a car had previously sped away from officers, and that car took a connecting ramp at a high rate of speed. At that time, the car hit the back of a vehicle that was stopped on the shoulder. Burks was the only person inside.
Polcie said the driver of the car that hit Burks’ vehicle is a 24-year-old D.C. resident, Darnell Basset. He was taken from the crash scene with injuries described as serious, and is in police custody.

x Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests
Southeastern Asia: Lesser Sundas Islands, Indonesi
The Lesser Sundas Deciduous Forests [AA0201] are found on a string of volcanic islands. They stretch across the Java Sea between Australia and Borneo. It is part of a unique biogeographic region known as Wallacea, which contains a very distinctive fauna representing a mix of Asian and Australasian species. These distinctive seasonal dry forests harbor unique species, including the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard in the world, and seventeen bird species found nowhere else on Earth. A combination of shifting agriculture and human-caused fires has significantly reduced the amount of natural forest in this ecoregion.
Scientific Code
(AA0201)
Ecoregion Category
15,200 square miles
Critical/Endangered
Location and General Description
This ecoregion represents the semi-evergreen dry forests in the Lesser Sunda Islands. It extends east from the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa to Flores and Alor in the Indonesian Archipelago. Rinjani volcano on Lombok is the highest mountain in the ecoregion, at 3,726 m. The Lesser Sundas are an inner volcanic island arc, created by the subduction and partial melting of the Australian tectonic plate below the Eurasian plate. The islands represent tertiary and quaternary volcanoes that have coalesced with lava and sediment. There is actually a geologic discontinuity between Lombok and Sumbawa, on the Sunda Arc, and the rest of the islands, part of the Banda Arc. With the exception of Komodo, which is Mesozoic, most of the islands were built during two pulses in the Tertiary (Mio-Pliocene) and Quaternary (recent) (Monk et al. 1997). This ecoregion is separated from Bali and Java to the west by Wallace's Line, which marks the end of the Sunda Shelf. With an average annual rainfall of 1,349 mm, this region is the driest but also the most seasonal in Indonesia. Based on the Köppen climate system, this ecoregion has a tropical dry climate zone (National Geographic Society 1999). This distinctive climate has given rise to a vegetation that is strikingly different from that of the rest of the archipelago. Much of the natural habitat is composed of monsoon forests and savanna woodlands (Whitten and Whitten 1992).
The monsoon forests consist of several forest subtypes, notably moist deciduous forest, dry deciduous forest, dry thorn forest, and dry evergreen forest. Moist deciduous forests also occur as a band of lowland forest at the base of the hills and as gallery forests along streams, especially on Komodo Island. Dominant trees include Tamarindus indica and Sterculia foetida (Monk et al. 1997). The dry deciduous forest at altitudes below 200 m is dominated by Protium javanicum, Schleichera oleosa, and Schoutenia ovata, whereas at medium altitudes, from 200 to 800 m, the dominant tree is Tabernaemontana floribunda. At these altitudes, lianas and climbers become common, especially the white-flowered liana Bauhinia. Above 1,000 m, Euphorbiaceae tend to become common and well represented (Monk et al. 1997).
Dry thorn forest is another type of monsoon forest in this ecoregion, although little is left because it has been cleared by setting fires. This forest formation still exists along the southeast coast of Lombok and the southwest coast of Sumbawa but is being cleared in the latter region for road building, mine development, and a transmigration site (Monk et al. 1997).
Dry evergreen forest occurs above dry deciduous forest and below the true evergreen montane forest, at 1,000 m above sea level on Mt. Batulante in northwest Sumbawa. Below 1,200 m on the north slopes, Albizia chinensis is a characteristic species. Other common species include Chionanthus, Prunus, and two Cryptocarya species. On many islands, drier areas in steep-sided valleys contain gallery forest. On Sumbawa, for instance, gallery forest is found from sea level to 2,000 m above sea level and is also present in lower montane forests (Monk et al. 1997). By contrast, the southern hill slopes along the southern coasts are kept moist during the dry season by the southeast trade winds, and dipterocarp rain forest occurs on the southwest hills of both Lombok and Sumbawa. Lombok also contains one of the few remaining patches of tropical semi-evergreen rain forest, at volcanic Mt. Rinjani, which acts as the major water catchment area for the whole island (Monk et al. 1997).
Twenty-meter-high mixed montane forests of Podocarpus and Engelhardia are found from about 1,200 to 2,100 m, with lianas, epiphytes, and orchids such as Corybas, Corymborkis, and Malaxis very much in evidence. At higher elevations of up to 2,700 m, Casuarina junghuhniana forests occur. Toward the summit, from 3,300 to 3,400 m, the rocky ridges were once covered with lichens, mosses, grasses, herbs, and some ferns but are now being eroded. On Sumbawa, the south slopes of Mt. Batulante above 1,000 m are covered with a Cryptocarya-Meliaceae montane forest, although species composition varies with moisture. This forest is dominated by two species of Cryptocarya, one in the drier and usually lower forest (from 1,000 to 1,500 m above sea level) and the other at higher or moister sites. Drier, stonier slopes in poorer forest are the only places where lianas are common. Further east, from the eastern part of Flores to Alor, the forests are dominated by Pterocarpus indicus (Monk et al. 1997).
There are also two types of savanna in this ecoregion: a Borassus flabellifer savanna that occurs from sea level to 400 m on Komodo, Rinca, and the north and south coasts of Flores; and the Ziziphus mauritiana savanna, which occurs on more sandy clay alluvial, and sometimes water-logged, soil. The dominant grasses are Eulalia leschenaultiana, spear grass (Heteropogon contortus, Themeda frondosa), and Themeda triandra (Monk et al. 1997).
Biodiversity Features
This area, part of the Wallacean sub-region, includes a mix of Asian and Australian fauna, and because of the long years of isolation from the mainland it harbors many endemic mammals and birds. Most of the endemic mammals occur on Komodo and Flores eastward, rather than Lombok and Sumbawa. One of the important and better-known endemic species in this ecoregion is the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), the largest lizard in the world.
The mammal faunal in this ecoregion consists of fifty species, including five ecoregional endemics, including the critically endangered Flores shrew (Suncus mertensi) and the vulnerable Komodo rat (Komodomys rintjanus) (table 1) (IUCN 2000). With the exception of the New Caledonia dry forests [AA0202], with six endemic mammals, the five endemic mammals in this ecoregion are more than are found in any other dry forest ecoregion in the Indo-Pacific.

An asterisk signifies that the species' range is limited to this ecoregion.
This ecoregion also harbors about 273 bird species, of which 29 are endemic or near endemic (table 2). The ecoregion is consistent with the Northern Nusa Tenggara EBA (Stattersfield et al. 1998). Of the twenty-nine restricted-range species in the EBA, seventeen are found nowhere else in the world. Three are endemic and threatened, including the endangered Flores monarch (Monarcha sacerdotum) and the vulnerable Wallace's hanging-parrot (Loriculus flosculus) and Flores crow (Corvus florensis). In addition, the white-rumped kingfisher (Caridonax fulgidus) is the sole representative of an endemic monotypic genus.

The Komodo dragon deserves special mention. It is the largest lizard species in the world. Varanus komodoensis occupies five islands: Komodo, Padar, Rinca, Gili Motang, and Flores. These animals range from sea level to approximately 450 m in elevation, mainly in tropical deciduous monsoon forest, tropical savanna, and grassland. They feed on a wide variety of animal food, including insects, lizards, snakes, birds, deer, wild boar, monkeys, and bird eggs; they also feed on carrion. Adults may have a foraging range of 500 ha. There are approximately 4,000 protected individuals in Komodo National Park (Monk et al. 1997).
During World War II, logging and cultivation destroyed much of the forest cover of Lombok, east Flores, and the small islands of Adonara, Solor, Lomblen, Pantar, and Alor (Monk et al. 1997). The Lombok dipterocarp forest is almost depleted by commercial logging, and the forest of Sumbawa is partially covered by a mining concession (Monk et al. 1997).
More than half of this ecoregion's natural habitat has been cleared, mainly for agriculture. Except for the island of Sumbawa, which still contains a large block of intact forest, most of the islands in this group have only fragments of natural habitat remaining. The twenty-eight protected areas include about 10 percent of the ecoregion area, but most of the protected areas are small, with the average size being only 144 km2 (table 3). Komodo National Park, the most famous wild area in the Lesser Sundas, a World Heritage Site, and an important tourist destination, is only one of two reserves that is greater than 500 km2, but most of this park is marine. The park harbors the Komodo dragon. Lowlands are underrepresented in the protected areas system even though this habitat supports most of the ecoregion's species; for instance, most of Sumbawa's endemic birds are associated with lowland monsoon forest (Monk et al. 1997).

Ecoregion numbers of protected areas that overlap with additional ecoregions are listed in brackets.
Increasing population pressure has also resulted in high rates of deforestation (WWF-Indonesia n.d.). In the dry season, fires often are set to clear the understory and to encourage new growth as forage for domestic animals. This has been done since prehistoric times-not for domestic animals, but for attracting game (introduced) into areas of new grass growth. This practice has resulted in the proliferation of fire-resistant trees such as Casuarina junghuhniana and formation of grassland over an extensive area of these islands. Most of the remaining forest is confined to the steepest slopes and the tops of mountains (Whitten and Whitten 1992). Poorly managed tourism, especially in the Komodo National Park and on Lombok, has also caused environmental degradation (WWF-Indonesia n.d.).
Types and Severity of Threats
The future threats will continue to be deforestation, an increasing population and their demands on the environment, intentionally set fires, and agricultural land development.
Justification of Ecoregion Delineation
The drier forests in Nusa Tenggara were placed in three ecoregions that corresponded to the biogeographic units identified in Monk et al (1997). These are Lesser Sundas Deciduous Forests [AA0201], which includes the chain of islands extending from Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Flores, and the smaller satellite islands corresponding to the Flores biogeographic unit; Timor and Wetar Deciduous Forests [AA0204], corresponding to the Timor biogeographic unit; and the Sumba Deciduous Forests [AA0203], corresponding to the Sumba biogeographic unit. All three ecoregions belong to the tropical dry forests biome.
References for this ecoregion are currently consolidated in one document for the entire Indo-Pacific realm.

Hardline GOP Immigration Bill Fails In House After Moderate Bill Shelved
The House of Representatives rejected a hardline immigration bill on Thursday, introduced by Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), after House leadership postponed a vote on a more moderate measure written by centrists. No Democrats voted in favor of Goodlatte's bill.
The House just voted on goodlatte’s immigration bill.
It failed. 193-231, well short of passage. (Higher than I thought it would get, though)
And the discharge petition — and a good deal of moderates leverage — is officially gone.
— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) June 21, 2018
The failed vote of 193-231 came one day after President Trump signed an executive order which would end the controversial practice of separating children from parents who cross the border illegally - which had been done under prior administrations but supercharged by the Trump administration's new "zero tolerance" enforcement policies.
That said, support for both the hardline and moderate immigration bills started to wane after a tweet from President Trump, who implied that even if the bill passed the House, Senate Democrats would kill it:
"What is the purpose of the House doing good immigration bills when you need 9 votes by Democrats in the Senate, and the Dems are only looking to Obstruct (which they feel is good for them in the Mid-Terms). Republicans must get rid of the stupid Filibuster Rule-it is killing you!" Trump tweeted.
What is the purpose of the House doing good immigration bills when you need 9 votes by Democrats in the Senate, and the Dems are only looking to Obstruct (which they feel is good for them in the Mid-Terms). Republicans must get rid of the stupid Filibuster Rule-it is killing you!
The GOP bills were already in disarray going into Thursday. On Wednesday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, had an angry confrontation with House Speaker Paul Ryan after confusion erupted over which version of an piece of immigration legislation the House of Representatives was set to vote on, with Meadows later claiming in a statement that "the leadership compromise bill omitted key provisions that had been agreed upon beforehand."
Both men became animated - pointing fingers at each other to the point where reporters in the press gallery could hear the the heated discussion - such as Politico's Jake Sherman who live-tweeted the drama.

— Jeremy Art (@cspanJeremy) June 20, 2018
Meadows reportedly got in Ryan's face over which of two similarly-named immigration bills the House is expected to vote on tomorrow.
The more conservative legislation has been dubbed "Goodlatte," after the bill's author, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. But a second bill, commonly called the "compromise" bill, has also been referred to as "Goodlatte," since he’s a sponsor of that package as well. Notably, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., rebranded the compromise bill "the president's bill" instead of the "leadership" bill. -Fox News
In order to clear things up, GOP leadership handed out talking points to lawmakers about the "compromise" bill - however Meadows claimed that the "talking points don't match the text," and "are not really for prime time.
"This was a communication issue where the leadership compromise bill omitted key provisions that had been agreed upon beforehand," Meadows spokesman Ben Williamson said in a statement. "We are working to resolve it."
Several GOP lawmakers told Fox News that they were disturbed at the spat between Ryan and Meadows - with one source saying that a few members who were previously a "hard yes" on the immigration legislation are now "squirming" after the confrontation.
Between the Benny-Hill circus on Wednesday, Trump's tweet on Thursday - and the reality of "obstructionist" Democrats in the Senate shooting down whatever the House manages to cobble together, it looks like immigration policy will come straight out of the West Wing for the time being.
Moderate rs had an option.
Discharge petition, which guaranteed four votes in the House.
Or put immigration in the hands of leadership, the White House and the rest of the gop.
They chose the latter.
So, here’s where we are.
— 4:30, the House Republicans will go into a meeting to discuss the contents of the "compromise” immigration bill.
— It’s likely that this bill comes up later, or tomorrow. Who knows. Leadership says tomorrow, but they started the day saying today

American Fair Trade
Publication Date 11 Jan 2018
Publisher Cambridge
Author(s) Sawyer, Laura Phillips
Rather than viewing the history of American capitalism as the unassailable ascent of large-scale corporations and free competition, American Fair Trade argues that trade associations of independent proprietors lobbied and litigated to reshape competition policy to their benefit. At the turn of the twentieth century, this widespread fair trade movement borrowed from progressive law and economics, demonstrating a persistent concern with market fairness - not only fair prices for consumers but also fair competition among businesses. Proponents of fair trade collaborated with regulators to create codes of fair competition and influenced the administrative state's public-private approach to market regulation. New Deal partnerships in planning borrowed from those efforts to manage competitive markets, yet ultimately discredited the fair trade model by mandating economy-wide trade rules that sharply reduced competition. Laura Phillips Sawyer analyzes how these efforts to reconcile the American tradition of a well-regulated society with the legacy of Gilded Age of laissez-faire capitalism produced the modern American regulatory state.

Neurable, Vectorform Partner on Brain-Computer Interface Applications
Sarah Schmid Stevenson
@XconomyDET_AA
Neurable, a brain-computer interface (BCI) startup spun out of the University of Michigan and now based in Boston, has found a new partner in a familiar place.
Vectorform, headquartered in Royal Oak, MI, is a software development and digital design firm that is collaborating with Neurable on BCI products for its clients in the automotive, utility, home automation, and healthcare sectors. No money is changing hands as part of the arrangement, both companies confirm.
Ashley Howell, Vectorform’s associate experience director, says the partnership “evolved from a general interest in measuring brain signals in an immersive space, and grew from there.”
In a 2017 Xconomy interview, Neurable CEO Ramses Alcaide said his company’s BCI technology allows users to control software and devices with their thoughts. The company’s neurotechnology platform does this, he explained, by classifying brain signals and then combining algorithms and neurological insights to discern user intent in real time. Today, Alcaide says Neurable is the first BCI platform to detect what users are focused on and can trigger an interaction depending on where the user’s attention is.
Over the past year, Neurable has expanded its signal-processing capabilities; Alcaide says the company now incorporates “enabling software” that can be used with any brain signal. “That has opened a lot of opportunities,” he adds. However, Neurable’s ultimate goal is to realize the functionality and promise of BCI technology by developing it for real-world applications. “Being able to deliver beyond the hype has always been the biggest BCI challenge,” Alcaide says.
The company, which launched in 2015, now has 16 people working in its downtown Boston office. He declined to say whether Neurable has raised new investment capital in the past two years, but says the company is “doing well financially.”
As part of its partnership with Vectorform, Neurable will give the company access to its software development kit for use in creating pilot tests. As far as potential BCI projects go, Vectorform would like to explore mixed-reality job training, automotive uses that could reduce distracted driving by allowing drivers to use thoughts or glances to interact with their vehicles, and healthcare applications in which people with physical challenges could complete tasks using their brain waves.
Vectorform intends to initially use Neurable’s technology to create virtual “high consequence” workplace training modules for jobs in which real-world training might be too difficult or dangerous, Howell says. Southeast Michigan utility company DTE, one of Vectorform’s customers, will take part in the workplace training pilot project.
“How do we really gauge learning?” Howell asks. “We’re trying to see how Neurable’s brain-computer interface application shows effectiveness.”
Howell says Vectorform is developing a dashboard that shows how trainees are performing as well as how they’re improving over time. Vectorform is examining the “emotional layer” in the brain that appears when we feel confident about the tasks we perform, she explains, and how that emotional layer corresponds to learning.
“There are a lot of potential applications,” Howell says. “We’re looking forward to seeing where Neurable goes. We’re in the beginning stages [of the partnership], and it’s just going to continue to evolve.”

Arts Council Collection
The Arts Council Collection began when the Arts Council of Great Britain was founded in 1946. It took over a small group of paintings from the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (CEMA) and its aim was to promote and encourage the appreciation of contemporary art through touring exhibitions.
The Collection has continued to grow, acquiring innovative works each year and circulating these as widely as possible. There are now almost 8,000 works in the Collection, including paintings, sculptures, original works on paper, prints and moving image. The Collection includes important and often early works by all of the most important artists working in the UK over the last 70 years, including Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Victor Pasmore, David Hockney, Bridget Riley, Gilbert & George, Richard Hamilton, Richard Deacon, Antony Gormley, Mark Wallinger, Peter Doig, Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Chris Ofili, Steve McQueen, Mona Hatoum, Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas, Grayson Perry, Glenn Brown, Jeremy Deller, Keith Coventry and Wolfgang Tillmans. Since 1986, the Arts Council Collection has been managed by the Southbank Centre, on behalf of Arts Council England. It is now based at the Southbank Centre, London, and at Longside, Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Chennai Travel Tips - Helpful hints and advice on local destination information
Due to the vast array of different cultures residing in the city, Chennai is a cosmopolitan city. It is also one of India's safest cities in terms of crime but like all big cities it has its fair share of pickpockets.
The usual health precautions for traveling in India apply, such as only drinking bottled water, avoiding uncooked fruit and vegetables and eating in hygienic restaurants. However, should illness occur, there are plenty of good hospitals in the city.
It is important to dress conservatively when visiting a religious site, and shoes should always be removed before entering a place of worship or a person's home. Visitors should be careful not to use the left hand for giving, receiving, eating or pointing. Tipping is not mandatory but is customary in upmarket restaurants and hotels.
The Indian rupee (INR) is the local currency. Food and daily life do not incur much expense in Chennai. Credit cards are accepted in large restaurants and hotels, and ATMs can be found around the city. Always carry small notes on your person for markets and transport, and keep the bulk of your cash in a hotel safe.
Chennai has a tropical climate with two seasons: summer and monsoon. Summer is stifling hot and falls between April and June, while monsoon season is at its peak during December. The mildest and most tolerable weather happens between December and February, so this is the most pleasant time to visit.
As one of India's largest cities, Chennai has an excellent transport network. Public transport in Chennai is user-friendly and offers extensive coverage. Many flyovers have been constructed, to ease congestion and provide a more convenient service for visitors.
Buses are regular, reliable and cheap. The government-owned Metropolitan Transport Corporation provides the service, which covers almost every area and suburb. Overcrowding is the only drawback, but otherwise buses are comfortable and convenient.
Auto rickshaws are a lot more expensive than buses and drivers almost always try to take advantage of tourists. However, they are a comfortable way to make trips within the city and drivers are more often than not willing to wait for you until you are ready to make the return journey.
Taxis are the most popular option, especially for longer trips. The Chennai Suburban Railway Network provides useful rail links between the city and the suburbs, and there is also a private minibus service operating in the suburbs.
The best way to reach the city from Chennai International Airport (MAA) is by pre-paid taxi. This service can be arranged from the Aviation Express booth just outside the airport. Drivers are polite, cars are in good condition and prices are fair. Alternatively, Tirisulam Railway Station is just a short walk away and there are regular trains to the city center.

Here we are in the shank of February and I think it’s safe to say lots of us are already looking forward to Spring (*shakes fist at groundhog*). Plenty to tell you about in these parts this week, with some new openings, plenty of new beers, and even some brewery jobs opening up. Let’s get right to it!
In case you missed the big news, Ninepenny Brewing in Conception Bay South is opening their doors tomorrow! Saturday from 2 – 10 PM, they will be pouring three of their beers for onsite consumption and to take away in growlers. Pop by to try their Porter (4.9% ABV), Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) and White IPA (5.7% ABV), which may also be complemented by some other great Newfoundland Craft Beer. They’ll be open Sunday at 2 PM as well, if you need a refill on that growler! To learn more about Ninepenny, check our yesterday’s Profile with them, and keep an eye on their social media (Fb/IG/Tw) for the latest and greatest news from CBS!
Southern New Brunswick also has a new brewery to call their own, as Hampton Brewing Company has recently launched their first two beers. While they wait for their forever home in the town of Hampton to come together, they are brewing in Saint John, thanks to their buds at Loyalist City. HBC’s first two beers to hit the taps are their take on hoppy brews, an ode to their love of the styles. Victory! is a 5.5% ABV American Pale Ale, with Citra and Vic Secret hops to the tune of 50 IBU, for a citrus, tropical, and piney aroma and flavour profile on top of a smooth base. Crush is a 4.6% ABV Session IPA, featuring loads of late addition Centennial and Mosaic hops (also about 50 IBU), for a citrus and stone fruit character with a floral touch. This smooth mouthfeel and medium-light body make this a beer one can truly enjoy for a full “session”. Find the first two Hampton Brewing beers at the Cask and Kettle and Peppers Pub in Saint John and at The Joyce in Fredericton, and other local-beer-friendly establishments in between very soon. We’ll have a full Profile with HBC early next week!
There was a new beer release from 2 Crows last week, and the jerks didn’t even remember to let us know! As a result, there’s still some left at the brewery for you to grab, so we might as well tell you all about it now. Jamboree is their latest sour beer, brewed with Pilsner, wheat malt, raw wheat, and oats. After being soured with Lactobacillus, the wort was fermented nice and warm with Ebbengarden Kveik yeast from Escarpment Labs. Once complete, they conditioned the beer on a whack o’ fruit… specifically, 190 kg of strawberry purée and 130 kg guava purée. Woo! They also dry-hopped the beer with Huell Melon to add more fruit flavour (and to hold back that Lactobacillus, as the wort was not boiled after souring). They’re using the words “crazy tropical, lush, fuzzy, and smooth” to describe this one, and we’ll take their word for it! Available at the brewery on tap and in cans.
Over in Newfoundland, Bootleg Brew Co. continues to play with new beers with the release of Cherry Bomb!, a “Sour Red Ale”. This kettle sour features a portion of Rye malt in the grist to add a touch of spice in the aroma, which also has notes of dark fruit, thanks to the addition of cherries (you probably gathered that from the name, we’d guess). Pretty sessionable at 4.5% ABV, there’s “just enough sweetness to balance the tart”. Drop by the Bootleg tap room in Corner Brook for a taste/growler.
The Neon Friday series from Upstreet returns today, with the release of Neon Friday Session IPA. This actually isn’t the first Session IPA in the series, but we’re pretty sure it’s the first one with a shortish name! This one was hopped with Amarillo, Cashmere and Motueka. Bittered in the medium-low region (on paper) of 25 IBUs, this 4.5% ABV brew has “lime and melon aromas, with hints of tropical stone fruit and tangerine”, and a soft mouthfeel. They’ll be celebrating its release today at the Craft Beer Corner from 5-7 pm with a Daytime Disco, featuring DJ Bradford Rooney. As for the beer, you can find it on tap and in cans at the taproom and Craft Beer Corner in Charlottetown, and on tap at the Upstreet BBQ Brewhouse, with cans following at the private stores in Halifax in the near future.
We’ve got a pair of releasesMore bottle releases at Tidehouse, with this week’s featuring the brewery’s first stab at the strong Wheatwine style. King Friday was brewed with over half of the grist made up of Wheat malt (as is common for the style), and hopped entirely with Ahtanum. It is indeed strong, at 9.5% ABV, making it similar to a Barleywine, but lighter in colour. TH is describing the beer as sweet and malty, definitely meant for sipping (as we hope any beer with this ABV would be!). Bottles of this one (in both 341 mL and the “one-person-all-night-party” 750 mL) will be available at the brewery today at 2 pm. Also available today is a new beer from frequent guest brewer Ian Wheatly, with his Lil’ Witty. Wheatly’s take on a Belgian Witbier is true to style with lots of wheat in the grist, and coriander and orange peel to enhance the citrus and spice from the yeast. Lightly bittered with Magnum to balance, this 5.1% ABV beer is available on tap for samples and pints, and to go in growler fills.
St. John’s brewery and brewpub YellowBelly continue their series of winter ciders this week with another apple and fruit blend. Strawberry Passion Fruit Apple Cider is a 6.5% ABV cider, featuring, you guessed it, Passion Fruit and Strawberry. Tropical notes of citrus, mango, pineapple, capped by strawberry bring memories of summers past, and a hope for the months to come. It is available now on tap at the brewpub, their airport location, and the YellowBelly Takeaway, where it can also be grabbed in growler format.
In the Annapolis Valley area and itching for something smokey? Annapolis Brewing has you covered with their 1921 Smoked Lager. Released earlier this week at their taproom, the beer had beechwood smoked malt in the grist to provide plenty of smokiness in the flavour. Hopped with Hallertau, it was fermented with a German Lager yeast strain, and then lagered (natch) to bring the flavours together even more. The brewery’s first Lager comes in at 5.3% ABV and 24 IBUs, and you can drop by right now (do it!) to give it a try.
Continuing with Annapolis Valley news, by popular demand, Annapolis Cider is re-releasing a favorite from their Something Different series, Hopped Pear. A sparkling perry and apple blend coming in at 6.3% ABV, the perry was created with two separate fermentations, one of Flemish Beauty pears fermented dry and then dry-hopped, and one of Bosc pears, also fermented dry before being finished with a touch of fresh-pressed apple juice. Put together, the two create a crisp and refreshing perry with a distinct hop character that is balanced by more mellow notes of ripe pear and fresh apple. A slight bitterness completes the picture and highlights the dryness of the overall product. As always, this one is available at the cidery on Main Street in Wolfville with $0.50 from each refill being donated to Refresh Annapolis Valley.
The mad scientists at Niche Brewing in Hanwell, NB, have yet another new beer for you this week, one they’re calling Vibrant. A mixed-fermentation saison with raspberry and hibiscus, it weighs in at 5.9% ABV. Based on a grist of mostly Pilsner malt with a healthy portion of wheat added, it was fermented with Niche’s house culture. Raspberry puree was added to the mix after fermentation had slowed down and the hibiscus was introduced during conditioning. Slightly floral and herbal, with a slight tannic quality and a light funkiness, the raspberry is predominant, but the hibiscus certainly makes itself known. This deep red brew will be released to tap accounts in New Brunswick next week, but the first two kegs are actually going to Nova Scotia, where Stillwell has spoken for two kegs (along with one each of Single Origin, Niche’s coffee sweet stout, and Counting Stars, their latest NEIPA).
O’Creek Brewing, a nanobrewery in Dieppe, has debuted a brand new beer this week. Coffee Island is an 8.8% ABV Imperial Stout, which features the addition of cold brewed coffee during conditioning. The grist consists of Chocolate, Roast, Coffee and Carapils malts (on top of the 2-Row base). Chocolate malt notes blend with the intense coffee, all on a lovely balanced beer. Grab a pint of it on the guest taps at CAVOK Brewing or Marky’s Laundromat, and at this weekend’s beerfest at Dolma Food (more details below).
As the region gets ready for the premier bash of the year in a couple of weeks’ time, the folks behind the Fredericton Craft Beer Festival have teamed up with Flying Boats Brewing to create a special beer just for the fest. Flying Sasquatch Pale Ale is described as a “medium-bodied East Coast Pale Ale” and it features Canada’s first patented and trademarked hop, Sasquatch™ from Hops Connect (who generously provided the hops for this brew). Most of the hops were added towards the end of the boil, imparting a balanced herbal and grassy character with a gentle orange and tangerine citrus flavor and aroma. Coming in at 5.6% ABV and 42 IBU, you’ll find it in select ANBL stores as of this weekend in 473 mL cans, at ANBL growler stations starting February 28th, and on tap for pints and fills (and in cans as well) at Flying Boats’ taproom at 700 Malenfant Boulevard in Dieppe!
Digby’s Roof Hound Brewing is getting ready to launch one of their biggest beers yet, a Russian Imperial Stout named Star Anise Destroyer. With a big grist that includes a pretty hefty portion of Dextrin malt (to help give that full body that you may expect from the style), this 9.7% ABV brew was dry-hopped with a pound of hand-crushed star anise pods (is dry-star-anised a word? It should be!). Brewer Les Barr was looking to bring some black licorice character to this beer, similar to a Jager liqueur, and it sounds like he may have succeeded! Hopped to a high-IBU level to help balance all that roast and sweetness from the grain bill, it’s “surprisingly smooth and refreshing for such a big beer”, according to Barr. Look for bottles to be officially released on March 1st; it’ll also show up on tap at the Roof Hound tap takeover at Battery Park on March 7th… don’t worry, we’ll have more details on that event, soon!
Attention, Mount Pearl, Newfoundland hop lovers! Your local brewery, Landwash, has just released their first DIPA, Dream Island #1, and it’s sounding delicious! With a grist that includes flaked oats and malted oats to boost the beer’s mouthfeel and haziness, it was hopped heavily with Simcoe and Mosaic, giving the final product notes of “orange zest, tangerine juice, and mango flavours”. Who are you to say no to Simcoe and Mosaic? This one comes in at a hefty 8% ABV – it IS a DIPA, after all – so don’t be too eager to chug that hop goodness down. As you may have expected from the name of the beer, this is the first in an intended series of DIPAs, so look for more entries, soon. It’s currently available on tap at the brewery (along with six other brews; cans may appear in the future.
For you Good Robot regulars out there, we’re pleased to report that their weekly Beta release returns next Tuesday, after a brief hiatus this week. They’ve teamed up with Colin Smith to brew Barrel, Ontario, an attempt at brewing a beer similar to a certain flagship from a certain Toronto brewery that is owned by a certain company that maybe we’re not going to mention here… oh, the hell with it, it’s a beer similar to Tankhouse Ale. Basically expect a Red Ale hopped with a “solid” amount of Cascade (to 36 IBUs), and weighing in at 5.1% ABV. As for Alpha beers, it’s all cans next week… Damn Fine Coffee and Cherry Pie and Espinazo del Diablo. Finally, in other Good Robot news, they’re looking to hire a part-time salesperson; if you’re interested, check out the application here.
In other hiring news, Sober Island Brewing Company in Sheet Harbour is looking to high a full-time Head Brewer. This person will be responsible for their 850 litre (7 BBL) brewhouse, supplying the Henley House, packaged product to the NSLC and private stores, and licensees across the province. As this is a head brewer position, previous experience and education are big pluses! Check out the full job posting here, and start/continue your path in a growing craft brewery!
And if brewing isn’t in the cards for you (not right now, at least), maybe you can try your hand as a Sales person, or working on a packaging line? Halifax’s Garrison Brewing is looking to hire people in both of those positions, as they continue to expand their offerings far and wide. The Sales Person will be responsible for HRM accounts (existing and new), and is a full-time position. The Packaging position is part-time (for now), and will be working on the bottling and canning lines, as well as other maintenance and tasks in the brewery. Pop them an email to apply or learn more about either position!
For those of us keeping track of the goings-on in Charlottetown, it has been announced that a purchase agreement in the sale of DME Brewing’s Charlottetown facilities has been agreed upon. CIMC Enric is a Dutch company, and manufacturer of equipment used in brewing, distilling, and other related industries. They intend to keep the interim staff who have been working for the past couple of months, and possibly hire back some of those who lost their jobs. The purchase gives them access to all records, inventory, customer base information, and everything else to continue operating. We’re keeping our ears to the ground on this front, hope to share more good news soon.
The events slate is a little light this week, but we expect we’ll see that change in the next couple of weeks!
Just one new event to tell you about this week, and it should be a fun one! Put on your favourite retro snowsuit or outfit for an outdoor rooftop beefest in Moncton. Dolma Food is hosting Winter Beerfest On The Rooftop, tomorrow from 4 – 10 PM. Acadie-Broue, CAVOK Brewing, Holy Whale Brewing, O’Creek Brewing, and Tatamagouche Brewing will all be sharing their finest beers for you, plus VALK Fermentation will be a special guest and will be collaborating with Acadie-Broue for an exclusive kombucha beer. Dolma’s BBQ will be fired up and roasting a pig, and there will be much more to enhance the afternoon and evening. Tickets are available two way: purchase a pre-sale ticket for $15 which includes entry, 2 drink tickets and your glass for the evening and to take home (available online or in store), or pay at the door for $25. Additional beer, or pulled pork sandwich or churros, are $5. Check out the links above for more details!
Before you go, just a couple more things!
Boxing Rock recently released this year’s version of La Rive du Sud (7.5% ABV), their Bière de Garde that they’ve been brewing annually since 2014. Various malts in the grist lend the beer biscuit, caramel and toffee notes, with a “noteworthy complexity”. And keep your eyes open for 14 Carrot Gold, a collaboration beer featuring the juice from 1100 lbs of carrots. No, you didn’t read that wrong. Stay tuned for more info!
Off Track Brewing has debuted another in their line of experimental and limited releases, with Sankara Amber Ale. This 5.3% ABV beer is malt-forward, with notes of toast, caramel, and is lightly sweet, but well-balanced, with Northern Brewer hops bringing its typical woody profile to the mix. Grab one (or all 5, so the legend goes) on tap at the brewery this weekend. And keep an eye out for the return of their Let’s Dance, a 6.8% ABV Double IPA, also on tap at the brewery now.
Propeller wants you to know that their popular XPA, their 5% ABV “Extra Pale Ale”, is back again for a limited time, available at their stores only. If you’re in any NSLC stores, however, Dark Berry Sour should be popping up there next week. Finally, tonight’s cask beer is an Oatmeal Stout that is essentially a preview of a beer that should be released, outside of a cask, in the near future.

Starting points: Pong depended on a game called ‘Tennis for Two’ which was a recreation of a round of tennis on an oscilloscope. Physicist William Higinbotham, the originator, stands out forever as making one of the main electronic recreations to utilize a graphical presentation.
The Concept: The game is proposed to speak to a round of Tennis or Table Tennis (Ping Pong). Every player has a bat; the bat can be moved vertically. The screen has two flat lines on the top and base of the screen. A ball is ‘served’ and moves towards one player – that player must move the bat so the ball hits it. The ball bounce back and moves back the other way. Contingent upon where the ball hits the bat, the ball will move in various ways – should it hit one of the top or main concerns, at that point it will skip off. The thought is essentially to make the other player miss the ball – in this manner scoring a point.
Game play: while it sounds completely exhausting, the game play is in reality addictive. It is anything but difficult to play however extremely hard to ace, particularly with quicker ball velocities, and increasingly intense edges of ‘bob’.
Sentimentality: for me this is the dad of computer games. Without Pong you most likely wouldn’t have computer games – it began the rage that would proceed develop and become a multi-billion dollar industry. I will dependably recall this game!
Causes: this game was created by Konami in 1981, and was the main game to acquaint me with Sega. At the time it was novel and presented another style of game.
The Concept: Easy – you need to stroll from one side of the way to the next. Hold up a moment – there’s a great deal of traffic; I better evade the traffic. Phew Made it – hold tight, who put that stream there. Better hop on those turtles and logs and get to the opposite side – hold tight that is a crocodile! AHHH! It sounds simple – the vehicles and logs are in level lines, and the course they move, the quantity of logs and autos, and the speed can change. You need to move you frog up, down left and right, maintaining a strategic distance from the vehicles, bouncing on logs and dodging terrible animals and return home – do this multiple times and you move to the following level.
Game Play: Yet another straightforward idea that is incredibly addictive. This game depends on timing; you get yourself dinking all through traffic, and now and then going no place. The illustrations are poor, the sound is horrible, however the adrenalin truly siphons as you attempt to maintain a strategic distance from that quick vehicle, or the snake that is chasing you down!
Sentimentality: I cherish this game for some reasons. I played it for quite a while, yet never truly turned into a specialist – be that as it may, it was the primary ever game I figured out how to recreate utilizing Basic on my ZX81 – I even sold around 50 duplicates in Germany!
Birthplaces: Tomohiro Nishikada, the originator of Space Invaders was propelled by Star Wars and War of the Worlds. He created on of the primary shooting computer games and drew vigorously from the playability of Breakout. 먹튀
The Concept: outsiders are attacking the Earth in ‘hinders’ by descending the screen step by step. As the valiant guardian angel of the Earth it’s your undertaking to utilize your singular laser gun, by moving on a level plane, and destroying those obnoxious outsiders out of the sky. Fortunately, you have four bases to hole up behind – these in the end crumble, yet they give some insurance from the outsider’s rockets.
Game Play: this is an exceptionally tedious game, however profoundly addictive. Each wave begins somewhat nearer to you, and moves somewhat quick – so every new wave is a harder test. The game included a considerable measure of system just as great hand eye co-appointment.
Sentimentality: I squandered a great deal of time making this appearance. While initially just green outsiders assaulted, some sharp nerd added shading strips to the screen and the outsiders mystically changed shading the lower they got – that was about as cutting edge as it got back in the times of monochrome computer games!
Galaxians
Sources: Galaxians developed the Space Invaders subject by having outsiders swoop down on the protector. It was one of the main amusements to have hued sprites.
Idea: Take Space Invaders, include some shading, expel the bases and make a portion of the outsiders swoop down at you and you have Galaxians. Basically the idea is equivalent to Space Invaders, you’re safeguarding the world against outsider trespassers, but instead than the entire screen loaded with outsiders descending at you in a decent methodical manner, you get gatherings of outsiders swooping down in indiscriminate ways.
Game play: on the off chance that you preferred Space Invaders, at that point you’ll cherish this. The systems are extraordinary, as you regularly need to maintain a strategic distance from a few distinct gatherings of outsider ‘swoopers’ yet in the event that you can shoot them as they swoop, at that point you get some incredible extra focuses. The game is troublesome until you become accustomed to a portion of the examples
Sentimentality: this was one of the main recreations that I played on a work station that was actually similar to the arcade acclaim. I had an old Acorn Electron, and this game was practically flawless on this little machine. I miss my old Acorn Electron!

Top Bollywood Romance movies
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are fresh out college when they first meet, and in their late twenties when they meet again. Brains working overtime disdained the movie. There must have been times when the person you love, loves someone else. Tamasha may not have received critical acclaim or box office numbers, and yet it remains relevant to its audience.

Australian Printer Magazine : May 2013
S applied quality and colour management enters into a mature state, so the associated tools seem to become more sophisticated. A clear trend of late is to move software and databases into the Cloud. We have already reported on some solutions that are cloud- based, like Chromix Ma xwell, GMG CoZone and Pantone Live. But there are more solutions out there, and new ones seem to be coming thick and fast. Here we will look at Matchmycolor’s Colibri and Schawk’s ColorDrive. We’ll leave aside the discussion of the pros and cons of working in a cloud-based solution for now, since what cloud computing is really all about could take a long article on its own. But it’s clear that efficient colour management does need a central database containing a colour library. And actually not only a colour librar y, but also a collection of defined standards and reference documents, such as preferred test forms for calibration and validation. This is where the Cloud idea comes in; this database should be accessible by ever y operator and device connected to the production workflow, including origination and design. This is a sophisticated solution and, correctly applied, it also makes way for an elegant and easy to use solution, meaning that the underlying technology and actual data transfer can be hidden behind a nice and intuitive user interface. Much of the data formatting can be made in some flavour of XML, similar to the formatting for web browsers and MIS systems compatible w ith JDF, and metadata compliant to Adobe XMP. For colour data, the CxF format is often used or can be imported and exported. CxF (Color eXchange Format) was originally developed by X-Rite, but has since been handed over to ISO, so is an open, non-proprietar y standard. A nd yes, it’s based on XML. Any company that wants to advance its colour management solution in this direction, needs to make sure the colour database it starts to build can be expanded and possibly moved from one system to another in the future. This is why we stressed the importance of open database standards and data formats right at the start of this article.

3313) Protestant Diplomacy & The Near East: Missionary Influence On American Policy, 1810-1927
University of Minnesota Press 1971
For understand of the Middle East today, it is essential to know something of the historical background of that region, traditionally known as the Near East. In tracing the influence of American Protestant missionary activities on American foreign policy and diplomacy in the Near East, Professor Grabill contributes significantly to an understanding of contemporary affairs. It becomes clear, in this account, that missionaries and philanthropists were the most influential force in the United States relations with the Near East through the First World War and its aftermath. An important turning point in the history occurred in 1915 when officials of the Ottoman Empire massacred or deported several hundred thousand Turkish Armenians, among whom were the principal constituents of the American missionaries. This prompted the mission groups to shift their emphasis from evangelism and education to the development of the second largest relief organization in the United States history )eventually called Near East Relief). Through powerful lobbying, the missionaries got their government to consider seriously a protectorate over Armenia or all of Asia Minor. Despite their political failure, the religionists succeeded as cultural frontiersmen through their colleges, such as the American University of Beirut, and their technical assistance programs, which showed the way for the Fulbright, foreign aid, and Peace Corps programs. The archives of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (Congregrational) and the Presbyterian Board of Missions provided rich source material for this book. The illustrations include photographs and maps. . . .

This book on the workings of the missionaries is a frequent addition to Armenian "Genocide" bibliographies: "PROTESTANT DIPLOMACY AND THE NEAR EAST."
EXCERPTS from "PROTESTANT DIPLOMACY AND THE NEAR EAST: Missionary influence on American policy, 1810-1927"
Joseph L. Grabill, Univ. of Minnesota Press, 1971
P.35: Mission blending of society and religion helped Protestant emissaries become important in Ottoman-American relations. Missionaries disavowed union of Church and State but not of Christianity and culture. Since they dealt with the latter dichotomy so little, they were ill-prepared to cope with upheavals in the Empire which inextricably combined politics and religion. When upsets became large in the 1890s, missionaries were then the main interest of the U.S. government in Turkey. Other interests, concerned tourists, academicians, merchants and naturalized Americans. There were diplomatic exchanges not directly concerning the American religionists in the two decades before 1914. But nothing during that period was larger in Turkish-American affairs than the missionaries and their difficulties. - It did not seem in 1810 that missionaries were to become ascendant for Yankee traders then dominated relations between the Western republic and the Ottoman Empire.
P.36: In the span from 1811 to 1820 around eighty American ships stopped at Smyrna, selling cotton goods, tobacco, gunpowder, bread-stuffs and rum (the last being the most important item). In return, American merchants picked up such Turkish exports as nuts, silver, raw wool, and hides, and participated more and more in the opium trade between the Near East and China. After 1815, U.S. government sought to assist commerce through a naval squadron in the Mediterranean, based at Minorca. During the 1820s Henry Clay of Kentucky, who favoured the Greek drive for independence from the Ottoman Empire, thundered in the House of Representatives against pro-Turkish attitude of commercial circles in the U.S.: "A wretched invoice of figs and opium has been spread before us to repress our sensibilities and eradicate our humanity. Throughout the Greek war American opinion was divided between merchants who longed the enlarged trade with Turkey on the one hand, and agrarian and missionary interests, which saw a vindication of Christianity and of America’s self-determination in the Greek rebellion on the other. President James Moore in 1823 came close to recognition of Greek independence. But the U.S. government remained aloof while commerce with the Ottoman Empire expanded. The chief merchant at Smyrna, David Offley, after 1811 led these (Yankee) businessmen. Offley’s Philadelphia firm controlled about 30% of the goods exchanged there. New England was remote and unimaginable to the Sultan. As it was to a later shah of Persia who ordered the preparation of camels for a trip to the White House and sent a man to a London “bazaar” to discover the caravan route to the U.S. Turkey in the early nineteenth century felt no need for formal communication with the U.S., especially since its ships did not touch there and its Greek minority handled most of the transactions at Smyrna. The most the Porte wanted from America was naval aid.
P.37: Negotiations in 1830 produced a treaty of commerce and amity, including most-favored-nation clause, and assurances that American individuals would privately assist in rebuilding the Turkish fleet. Consent to the treaty by the U.S. Senate came a year later. Missionaries and traders alike profited from capitulatory rights – traditional exemptions for Westerners from Ottoman jurisdiction. The 1830s and 1840s were the heyday of a U.S. outreach guided by people other than those of the American Board. American trade and export of technical know-how declined after 1850, hurried by high tariffs passed by the U.S. Congress, lack of governmental interest in the Ottoman Empire, British competition, European imperialism, and other factors. Business concerns opened the American Chamber of Commerce for the Near East in 1911. But economic and technical commitments by U.S. were non-existent compared with German’s Berlin to Bagdat railway and with British, French, Italian and Russian investments.
P.38: Prominent U.S. firms operating in Turkey were the American Tobacco Co., the Standard Oil Co of New York (Socony), the Singer Sewing Machine Co. (with about 200 agencies and stores) and the Western Electric Co. of Chicago. Alongside the Protestant establishment were various Americans, all curious about the physical habitat that nurtured the Christian Scriptures and the Arabian Nights (Missionaries were the chief sources of information about the non-Western world for decades after American Oriental Society’s founding in Boston in 1842.. The work of both of Robinson and Smith and of the Society spurred the appearance of archaeologists, explorers and biblical scholars in the Holy Land. By 1900 such people had founded the American School of Oriental Research at Jerusalem.
P.39: The cumulative effect of missionary and other writings in the U.S. was both an enlarged store of knowledge and a romantic perception of the Near East. While Americans wrote, their diplomatic representatives in Turkey had little to do but seek protection of nationals. Most of these nationals were evangelists, educators, returned emigrants and tourists. The earliest charge d’affaires, then minister resident was David Porters, in Constantinople from 1831 to 1843. - Historian John A. DeNovo has remarked that the White House’s representatives were so relaxed that such missionaries as George Washington of Robert College and Howard Bliss of the Syrian Protestant College often felt they had become do-it-yourself diplomats. Washburn and Bliss directly dealt with British officials in Turkey as well as with local administrates. Troubles around the turn of the century prodded Washington to give the Constantinople officer ambassadorial rank in 1906 and to organize the Division of Near Eastern Affairs within the State Department three years later. Secretary of State Daniel Webster in the 1840’s voiced sympathy for defending Protestant individuals and institutions. Americans kept pressing for new exemptions from Ottoman law, although such attempts caused
resentment among Turks. Only once was there an extension the Porte revoked this concession in 1884.
The trickle of 2.000 Armenian immigrants into U.S. before 1895 had become a gush of 20.000 by 1914.
P.40: (In 1914 there were some thirty thousand, mostly Armenian and Arab Americans). Turkish Government protested that these people took unfair advantage of their adoptive citizenship. Partly to serve such people, but more because of mission pressure, United States consuls come to reside at Halab, Iskenderun, Bagdad, Beirut, Erzurum, Harput, Jerusalem, Mersin, Sivas, Smyrna and Trabzon. Occasionally missionaries influenced the choice of a council or vice-council or took the latter office themselves. - At no time did the Protestants from America became agents of the State Department, even though other Western missionaries in Turkey sometimes used capitulatory rights to advance their nations’ imperial interests. – Discomfort for missionaries intensified when in the 1880s Sultan Abdul Hamid the Second harassed their schools, occasionally closing them. Often French and Russian agents encouraged measures against American learning centers, because these agents told Ottoman officials the centers had political object.
P.41 : In exasperation, the American Board in 1885 asked the President use the U.S. Navy to help protect missions in the Empire. Only joint American-British complaints prevented disruption of schools. Fearing an insurrection among Christian minorities, Ottoman leaders became neurotic about American colleges which had an Armenian clientele. – The student body of Anatolia College in 1893 included ninety-four Armenians, twenty-three Greeks and three Turks. Among the teachers Turks claimed there were two members of an Armenian revolutionary organization who had posted at the school treasonable placards printed on a college duplicator. – Turks charged the two Anatolia teachers with treason and condemned them to death; officials also arrested and executed several Merzifon Armenians. Pardoned and exiled because of pleas by British and American diplomats, the two Anatolia College teachers symbolized the growing import of missionaries in Ottoman-American relations. The U.S. Government asked for indemnities from the Porte for mission losses by fire in 1892 and 1893. The Sultan paid $ 2,200 for damage at Anatolia college. Then came terror for the Armenians. Frustrated by small revolutionary Armenian groups, Abdul Hamid promised booty to nomadic Kurds who would pillage Armenians. The Sultan in autumn 1894 also ordered Turkish soldiers to murder Armenians at Sassun West of Lake Van. – About 10 % of the casualties were Protestants.
P.42: The terror of 1895 and 1896 spurred thousands of Armenians to emigrate to the U.S. where they later helped their government to take an active interest in the diplomacy dismembering the Ottoman Empire. The trickle of 2.000 Armenian immigrants into U.S. before 1895 had become a gush of 20.000 by 1914. The Protestant Armenian church in Harput in 1 year alone lost 25% of its 3.000 constituents as immigrants.
The fury of the Sultan and the Turks hit not only Armenians directly, but the American Board. Beside decimating and scattering Armenian Protestants, the turmoil endangered missionary lives when in November 1895 Turks destroyed thousands of dollars worth of Board property at Harput and Marash. – Missionaries soon helped organize relief for thousands of Armenian orphans and widows. A clergyman from a missionary family, Frederick D. Greene, became secretary of the National Armenian Relief Committee. – Missionary son Edwin M. Bliss (also assistant editor of the Independent), with assistance from Cyrus Hamlin, wrote a book on the history of the Armenian question and on the killings. Bliss described the relief movement in the United States: "Armenian Sundays were observed by many churches; collections were taken in churches, Sunday-schools, colleges, societies and mass meetings: journals opened their columns for relief subscriptions; individuals collected funds privately; Armenians throughout the country contributed from their slender resources; and the money was forwarded promptly to the field. "Red Cross and American Board personnel administered aid at missions stations, and the colleges throughout Asia Minor and eventually established orphanages and homes for widows which taught carpentry, tinsmithing, baking, lacemaking and silk culture."
P.43: U.S. Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois introduced a resolution about the Ottoman Empire in Congress. The Cullom Resolution invited the President to ask European powers to “stay the hand of fanaticism and lawless violence” against unoffending Armenians, and promised congressional support for the President "in the most vigorous action he may take for the protection and security of American citizens in Turkey, and to obtain redress for injuries committed upon the persons or property of such citizens”. Persuading the chamber to approve his measure, Cullom helped start what became overly pro-Armenian sentiment in public consideration of the Ottoman Empire. - The heart of all Christendom is stirred to its very depths as it witnesses the piteous pleas of the suffering Armenians beseeching the Christian world to give them protection." Cullom”s style indicated images of public opinion and the imaginal environment within which the government then, and in the years ahead, developed policy toward the Ottoman Empire. The ideas of Cullom were like those of the Protestant relief propagandists. A cartoon distributed by missionaries and their associates, showed Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany congratulating Abdul Hamid as they both stand over an Ottoman map strewn with Armenian skulls and bones.
P.44: Miss Willard claimed Armenians physically resembled "our Lord" more than any other race, were brave, chaste, simple in faith like New Testament Christians, earnest, unarmed, pastoral, peaceful. She castigated Turks as cruel, vindictive, insane, fanatical, wolfish, detestable, savage, torturing Armenians “as could hardly have been excelled if the bottomless pit had vomited forth its leading spirits to urge the battle on.” – What was the outcome of the Cullom Resolution? President Cleveland dispatched to Turkish waters the cruisers San Francisco and Marblehead. He resisted mission pleadings, as in a public letter of Cyrus Hamlin, for aggressive gunboat diplomacy. The 86 –year old Hamlin having missionary children and grandchildren in Turkey, thought a show of American force would stop both the massacres and the attempt of Abdul Hamid to expel the Protestants and destroy their property. – The U.S. government asked the Sultan for an indemnity of around $90.000 for damage to mission property. – The Sultan felt that U.S. schools were a factor behind Armenian disloyalty, a notion that American Minister Alexander W. Terrell allegedly reinforced when he accused the missionaries of "fomenting rebellion". The reparation issue escalated into a matter of U.S. national interest, meriting mention in a presidential message to Congress.
P.45: McKinley’s concern for the indemnity developed in part because Secretary of State John Hay was a cousin of George Washburn, influential president of Robert College. A British ambassador to the Porte was known to give new members of the diplomatic corps in Constantinople a single piece of advice: “Cultivate Dr. Washburn”. Urged by this missionary educator, Americans in the U.S. legation at the Ottoman capital persuaded the commander of the Kentucky, a U.S. vessel passing through the Mediterranean in 1900, to bring his ship to Constantinople. - The Empire finally paid the sum in 1901.
"Turkey has been the object of systematic attacks on the part of the press of [the] U.S. She is represented as being a sink of iniquity."
(Ahmet Rustem, Ottoman ambassador to Washington)
Bully boy Teddy
In addition to the Hay-Washburn relation, there was another mission tie with an American official which after the events of the 1890s assisted missionary interests. This association had begun as a boyhood friendship between Howard Bliss of the Syrian Protestant College and Theodore Roosevelt. A bombastic who deplored the Armenian massacres, Roosevelt declared in 1909: "Spain and Turkey are the two powers I would rather smash than any in the world."
P.46: During the Italo-Turkish War of 1911 and 1912 the White House toyed with an offer of mediation, partly because the American Board and several U.S. peace societies asked for this step. The President abstained. –
One writer has summarized relations between Washington and Constantinople: "It should not be understood that the missionaries exploited American diplomacy or that American diplomacy exploited the missionaries."
P.47: … and despoiling of American Board compounds showed a mission relation to nationalism among minorities in the Near East. Protestant organizations were among private groups in the Ottoman Empire facilitating identity not only among Armenians but also among Arabs, Bulgarians and Albanians. During the first Word War these ties between Americans and minorities would help draws the U.S. into considerations of which countries would gain the lands of the Empire. It appears that the religionists neither endorsed intrigue by Armenians, nor preached political revolt. There is “evidence that Armenian extremists held it against the missionaries that they refrained overtly… supporting the movement for the Armenian independence”. The missionaries’ contribution to violence was insensitivity toward the possible results of their attention to Armenians instead of Turks. Missionaries apparently did not expect that invigoration of the Armeno-Turkish language by a modern bible translation and maintenance of many schools among Armenians would encourage nationalism. American Board members neglected their indirect livening of the conflict. Instead they cried out against Ottoman injustice, and gave the Turks a terrible reputation in the U.S. The Ottoman ambassador to Washington, Ahmet Rustem, remonstrated against oversimplification of his nation’s affairs: "Turkey has been the object of systematic attacks on the part of the press of U.S. She is represented as being a sink of iniquity." – Missionaries did not understand that they were expecting the Porte to react benignly as they trained an Armenian minority in literacy and professions – a minority which included people who spoke of independence. The American Protestants did not imagine how they might behaved if for several decades in their homeland a foreign educational system directed by Muslims had devoted itself to, say, Afro-Americans, with the result that the black Islamic minority became more proficient than the majority of white Americans. – Regarding the troubles of 1894 to 1896, George White of Anatolia admitted that the missionaries at Merzifon were "intensely interested spectators and friends” of the Armenian cause. But White believed they were not at all "actors on the stage."
P.48: White took them food during the year they were in prison. He apparently did not perceive how removing a single revolutionary from a closet did not appear to Turks adequate to show impartiality in Turkish-Armenian tension, especially when compared to White’s general preoccupation with teaching Armenians and his regular visits to jailed Armenian students. At Central Turkey College in Aintab, the thirty faculty members had trouble in 1909 with a secret Armenian revolutionary society among two hundred male students (almost exclusively Gregorian and Protestant Armenians). – The Turks leniently treated the Armenians, who became the favourite non-Muslin minority in the Ottoman government. – The creation of a Tsarist Armenia intensified humiliation among the separated Russian and Turkish Armenians. The Treaty of Berlin made a token statement on behalf of the Armenians, who incorrectly interpreted this comment as a commitment to their freedom. Russia wanted to absorb the Armenians. Britain had a limited interest in an independent Armenia, which would be both inaccessible and peripheral to the route to India. The Treaty of Berlin stimulated nationalism among Russian and Turkish Armenians without Western guarantees of aid, and upped the jitters among Turks without controls on Ottoman hostility.
P.49: Influenced by French and Marxist socialism, Armenians (primarily Russian) sought to force European interposition by starting revolutionary movements. The Hunchakian party appeared in 1887 (but fragmented within a decade) and the Dashnaktsuthiun (Armenian Revolutionary Federation) arose in 1890. The only important group solely Turkish Armenian ’the Armenakan’ began in 1885, and stressed education and self defense rather than revolt. Located in Van, the Armenakan had little relation to the other parties. Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Gregorian leaders among the Armenians did not endorse revolution and were usually apathetic about it. – By the middle 1890s the Dashnaktsuthiun was evolving into the first powerful secular institution in Armenian history. It menaced the status of the Gregorian Church. Attempts by western section of the Dashnaksuthiun to stir Turkish-Armenian brothers aggravated relations with the Porte. Turkish authorities indiscriminately jailed Armenians. Abdul Hamid sought to end talk of rebellion by the massacres, started in 1894 at Sassun and continued the next two years. Armenian revolutionaries in August 1896 temporarily seized the Ottoman Bank headquarters in Constantinople, hoping to bring European intervention. Memoirs of the Armenian volunteer fighter Rouben or Minasian epitomized its work. From 1903 to 908 Minasian operated in roving, clandestine company carrying ten to a hundred men. The band trained Armenians around Lake Van to use arms against preying Kurds, generated propaganda, assisted threatened peasants and administered reprisals against Turks and Kurds – The Young Turk party gave promise of better days when in 1908 and 1909 it cooperated with Dashnaksuthiun to depose Abdul Hamid.
P.50: The new Dashnaksuthiun planks were Armenian autonomy and election of representatives from their party to the Ottoman Parliament. – Militancy and independence again became the platform of Dashnaksuthiun. – Two American missionaries and twenty evangelical Armenian. Pastors died. Five missionary women were fortunate to survive a week’s siege at Hadjin. – British and American warships helped restore order as relief activities began among thousands if refugees. Young Turk investigation brought execution of several Armenians and Turks and compensation to injured Armenians. The government also proclaimed the innocence of Armenians generally and their loyalty to the central authority. – Each millet was a religious community receiving more faithfulness from its adherents than did the central Turk administration. Millets handled marriage, divorce, inheritance, and other personal civil matters and nourished separate languages, courts, tax collections and cultural and educational institutions. After 1863 the Armenians even had their own legislature, which met biennially in Constantinople under the Gregorian Patriarch. As Westernization penetrated the Ottoman Empire, chiefly through French thought, the millets became nuclei for European-style, territorial nationalism.
P.51: Such Christian minorities as the Greeks and Armenians developed interdependence with Western ideas and groups which undermined the Porte’s authority and helped make reforms dead letters. – A sign of the nearly hopeless pulling and tearing in the Ottoman fabric was the multiplication of millets: in 1831 there was only three (Greek Orthodox, Jewish and Armenian Gregorian); in 1914 there were seventeen. – Dashnak groups armed primarily to protect Armenians against Kurdish sackings. – Approximate population figures in the year 1914 for the six vilayets of Asia Minor with largest numbers of Armenians exemplified there: 1,000,000 Armenians (about 30%), 1.000.000 Turks (about 30%) and 650.000 Kurds (about 20%) in a total population of over 3.000.000 people (including Greek, Nestorian, Arab and others). Throughout all of the Ottoman Empire there were probably 1.800.000 to 2.000.000 Armenians.
P.53: In the impossibly brief time from 1908 to 1914, Young Turks strove to create a modern Ottoman state. But in conflicts with such enemies as Italy, Greece and Bulgaria abroad and Armenians at home, the Committee of Union and Progress turned increasingly to assertive Turkification.– Cultural lag within the Empire was helping make relations between Turks and Armenians a sorrowful experience, also for American missionaries.
P.58: Forces released in the Western balance of power helped begin hostilities between the Turks and the Armenians and Arabs, and also begin unprecedented trouble for the Protestants. – The American Protestants at first were not certain what to do. – Their reaction blended many aspects of diversified mission behavior of 1914: evangelistic and ethnocentric zeal (as represented by the slogan ‘Christianize the nations”), theological flexibility, active humanitarianism, and readiness to use government aid for Protestant ends.
...Headlines which made all Turks look like ogres appeared under nearly every dateline in New York Times papers and periodicals.
P.59: The Dashnak’s western section met at Erzurum and rejected proposal of the Porte. The proposal stated that if Russian and Turkish Armenians would cooperate with the Committee of Union and Progress in event of an Ottoman-Russian war, the minority people would receive autonomy under the Empire for three Turkish-Armenian vilayets – Erzurum, Van, Bitlis – and for two Russian-Armenian provinces – Kars and Erivan. - Soon after this meeting at Erzurum, the Russians appealed to the Dashnak-led Armenian National Council in Tiflis. The Tsar promised autonomy to six Turkish-Armenian vilayets as well as the two Russian – Armenian provinces. Earlier a Tsarist minister of foreign affairs reportedly had confided Russia’s aim: “We need Armenia, but without Armenians”. Primarily because of trust in France and Great Britain as associates of Russia. The Armenian National Council accepted the Tsar’s offer. – After a prodding by Germany, hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and the Turks called for a Holy War. Such an act by the rather irreligious Young Turks was partly cynical, to unify Arab and Turkish Muslims to appeal to Russian Muslims.– When Enver’s forces moved across the Russian-Turkish border through the Bardiz pass, Russian-Armenian volunteers held them up at Sarikamish. This Armenian effort gave a Russian military unit to group and defeat the Turks. After this failure, The Committee became convinced that Turkish Armenians were traitors, that not only should the police imprison and execute them but the Army should shoot them.
Clarence Ussher
Dr. Clarence Ussher
P.60: American missions were not critically disturbed until Enver in April 1915 launched an an assault near the city of Van against Turkish Armenians whom he considered treacherous. Van was a center of Armenianism in the Empire (60% of its 50.000 people were Armenians) and the location of both a strong evangelical organization and the Protestant school, American College. Enver’s brother-in-law Jevdet bey on April 16 murdered some individuals in an Armenian delegation from Van calling him to reaffirm loyalty. Led by the Dashnaks, about fifteen hundred Armenian men (many of whom had pledged allegiance to the Ottoman government) prepared to defend themselves and approximately thirty thousand members of their ethnic group in the walled Armenian Quarter. Within a few days an incident set off exchanges of rifle and cannon fire between Turks and Armenians. At the same time, Jevdet’s troops began razing twenty nearby Armenian villages and killing many of their inhabitants. For several weeks the besieged Armenians in Van, possessing a few hundred rifles, withstood Turkish bombardment. The eleven missionaries there, including Clarence Ussher and Ernst A. Yarrow, ministered casualties. Ussher, the only physician in the city, worked from dawn until midnight with Armenians. Two missionary nurses served the wounded among Jevdet’s soldiers at a Turkish hospital. Thousands of Armenians found refuge in the American Board compound, located next to the Armenian Quarter. Missionaries and Armenians sent messages to Russia for aid. As the Tsar’s forces and Russian-Armenian volunteers neared Van the second week in May, Turkish shells fell into mission premises almost incessantly for one day, turning many buildings into rubble. The Turks fled. Next, Armenians “burned and murdered: the spirit of loot took possession of them”. Soon Turkish civilians found shelter and medical treatment in the American Board compound. By August 1915 the Russians had retreated toward Tiflis, with Americans and Armenians joining the exodus. Amid epidemics in this awful withdrawal, Mrs. Ussher and another missionary wife died. Ussher himself barely survived successive cases of typhus, pneumonia, and dysentery; Yarrow nearly succumbed also.
P.61: In May 1915 (Enver) they issued a general order to kill or deport to the southern lowlands and to the Caucasus the entire Armenian population of Asia Minor, nearly all of whom were innocent of treason.-Apparently two officials resigned; some of the rest refused to carry out their instructions. – The basic Turkish method in 1915 was to require Armenians with arms in particular area to surrender them at police headquarters. – At Trabzon the executioners used another method; they transported about ten thousand Armenians on ships out into the Black Sea and forced them overboard to drown.– A dramatic affair concerned a mountain stronghold west of Aleppo, Musa Dagh, where eight hundred armed Armenians held fifteen thousands of Turkish regulars over a month.
P.62: The young man tried to kill at least one Turk before death; he then committed suicide. Using this incident toi charge foreigners from the United States with Armenianism, the Turks drove out the Western religionists as well as bereaved women. This expulsion marked the end of American internationalism among Armenians in Bitlis. Why such a Turkish retribution? Large causes had to do with the millet system, scrambled ethnic groups, cultural lag, and Western interference.
P.63: There is evidence that some Turkish Armenians became Allied agents.. But Van Armenians were not guilty of plotting an uprising against the government. Extermination possibly would not have reached the proportions it did if the Allied armies bound up in the Dardanelles [unable to intervene?]. By early 1916, enormous casualties had been counted among the Armenians, including the missionary constituency, the Evangelical Armenian Church.
P.64: After the British at last withdrew their troops from Gallipoli early in 1916, and McMahon promised ambiguous freedom for the Arabs, Hussein in June of the same year declared war on his surprised Turkish overlords. Helped by T.E.Lawrence of the British Army, Feisal gave direction to the Arab revolt and by December 1916 his men occupied much of the western Arabia. The Arab uprising and the Armenian holocaust brought calamity and massive surge of anguish upon Protestants in the Near East. Cataclysm was the portion of the American Board, whose investments in the Turkish Empire of about twenty million dollars in property and one hundred fifty staff members had fallen by December 1915 to about half of the financial value and personnel. Quite a few missionaries had died in epidemics. Many of the Americans became intensely and righteously determined to salvage as much as they could from a century’s labor, wanting to succor the Armenian remnant and to say "Amen" to punishment of the Turk.
P.65: Liaison between Morgenthau and the missionaries was not new. When in November 1913 he first arrived in the Empire, he had expected the Protestants to be sectarian and narrow. He discovered otherwise. A gregarious, self-confident Democrat, Morgenthau had boundless enthusiasm for public causes. Born in Manheim, Germany, he had emigrated as a child to the United States. Graduating from Columbia College, he went into law and then business and became rich. In the presidential race of 1912 he supported Woodrow Wilson and was financial chairman for the campaign. His reward was appointment to Constantinople. Gates, a mission veteran, had come from the Midwest. After studying at Beloit College and the Chicago Theological Seminary, he had gone to the Turkish Empire for the American Board in 1881 and labored at Mardin. From 1894 to 1902 he was president of Euphrates College in Harput, a school with an Armenian clientele. At one commencement exercise during the period from 1894 to 1896, the students of Euphrates College interrupted the reading of a mild Armenophile statement which Gates had sanctioned, shouting: “Long Live Armenia”.
P.67: Morgenthau, Gates and Peet – men of nearly the same age and similar sympathy for Armenians – knew that much of the missionary structure in the Empire would fall if the Turks continued to eliminate the minority people. They decided that Washington should be notified of the persecutions, By summer Morgenthau had begun sending regular messages to secretary of State, Robert Lansing, who endorsed remonstrance with the Ottomans and with the German ambassador. At Gates’ suggestion Morgenthau worked out a plan for moving Armenians to California. The Young Turks, though quite cold to this notion, were willing to consider it. Morgenthau’s pleas had little effect upon the Turks. In one talk with Minister of Marine Djemal Pasha, the latter asked Morgenthau if Armenians were Americans. Realizing Djemal was stating that the domestic situation was none of his business, the ambassador replied that he was a friend of the Armenians, particularly since an old hand in the United States embassy, Arshag K. Schmavonian, was one, Djemal in his memoirs declared that constant intervention by the West in the Empire had caused Turks, Kurds and Armenians [to] mistreat one another. Talaat declared that Young Turks were firm about finishing a job three quarters done, and justified their acts by several charges against the Armenians: the minority people had enriched themselves at the expense of Turks, had sought independence, and had helped the Russians Enver warned Morgenthau against American preference for minorities. This Young Turk felt that if Armenians allied with the enemy, as in in the Van district, his government would have to squash them.
P.68: Gates felt particularly helpless when the police took thirteen Armenian servants from Robert College and sent them into [the] interior. Peet outlined to American Board headquarters in Boston in 1915 an idea which got by the censors. “The deportation of the Armenians” Peet wrote, requires a pretty large expenditure in order to keep them alive, and this must be our first effort. They are sent generally either into the desert or into an unoccupied territory, or into absolutely new locations, where they will be needing everything, as they have left behind all they had in the world”.
P.69: After 1881 the American Red Cross had taken an increasingly important place in complementing the religionists. The government role throughout had been minor, since Congress had appropriated relief funds only once, and Washington infrequently provided naval transport for gifts. Early in the First World War came benevolence for Arabs. When in 1914 the Ottoman authorities in Syria requisitioned food and animals, famine followed, bringing death to many people. Out of this tradition of fund-raising for the Near East arose Peet’s scheme of August 1915. By then thousands had escaped Asia Minor, hudling to Caucasus, Syria and Mesopotamia where Americans could possibly aid them. An important call which arrived in the United States after the Peet letter was a confidential cable of September 3 from Morgenthau to the State Department. “Enver Pasha has promised” the ambassador related, “the departure of such Armenians to the United States I vouch as bonafide.” Crane turned to Woodrow Wilson and contributed 50.000 Dollars in the 1912 campaign. Wilson then offered the ambassadorship to Russia. Crane refused. Thus Crane, whose one son had become Secretary of the State Lansing’s personal secretary in May 1915, had several handles on machinery which could help the Armenians. The United States consul in Aleppo currently reported over 150.000 refugees in the area, with hundreds dying daily. The consul recommended 150,000 Dollars a month to meet the needs of that locality alone. The Dodhe Relief Committee proceeded to reinforce in the American mind the image of the unspeakable Turk. During the last two weeks of September 1915 headlines which made all Turks look like ogres appeared under nearly every dateline in New York Times papers and periodicals. “Mission Board told of Turkish Horrors, 10.000 Christians Drowned in Trabzon. Women seized for Harems”.
Holdwater: "Crane" must be Charles R. Crane, businessman from New York, Board of Trustees President of a missionary college (Constantinople College for Women), and a former secretary of the original Committee on Armenian Atrocities in 1915. He is most famous for being one half of the King Crane Commission.
P.72: At the Bosphorus, Morgenthau, Gates and Peet continued as an Armenophile triumvirate. The three men could transfer funds from the United States but they did not have approval of the Porte to distribute relief goods. Gates worked on Talaat, and the diplomat on Enver. Both Ottomans hesitated because they felt that large outside help would stimulate rebellion. The Young Turks angrily spurned attempts by the Americans to end the death marches or to plead a special dispensation for Protestant Armenians. Only four of some forty board members of the ACASR board were either Jews or Catholics.
P.73: Barton soon was dominant Board administrator. In the position of foreign secretary he gave priority to educational missions, becoming perhaps the outstanding American promoter of colleges abroad. He eventually assisted the start of development of twenty interdenominational Christian schools of higher learning in Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, India, Ceylon, China, and Japan, helping them secure over thirty million dollars. In a constant dialogue with the United States government, Barton sought to guard Protestant institutions in Turkey and elsewhere. With Barton as ACASR head, missionaries felt that not all would be lost. After months of dismay, the Protestant to Turkey began to hope again. During the winter of ACASR’s birth in 1915 and 1916, Morgenthau left for home. When he reached New York city the executive committee of the ACASR met him on [the] docks.
Ambassador Abraham Elkus
Abraham Elkus
P.74: Barton soon got him to speak in Massachusetts and to meet privately with the trustees of the American Board. In Boston the ambassador made nearly ecsastic remarks about the missionaries, and spoke of his abhorrence of the Turks. Ostensibly, he had come back for a vacation. But he had no intention of returning to the Empire. He desired to assist President Wilson’s re-election. Together with Crane, he decided on a Jewish attorney, Abraham I. Elkus, as his successor at the Porte. Wilson approved. The Board secretary wanted to make sure that Elkus was “indoctrinated… to defend American institutions to the last”. Just before Elkus; departure for Constantinople in August 1916, Barton sponsored a banquet at which representatives of the religious groups in Turkey were present. Satisfied he wrote to Morgenthau: "I was very pleased with him and with his outlook to the work". In relations with Peet and Gates during his short-lived eight month tenure at the embassy, Elkus lived up to Barton’s evaluation. Barton also cultivated the prestigious Britisher, James Bryce, who had known many American Protestants in the Ottoman Empire for decades. Bryce had a wide repute as an attorney, sometime professor of law at Oxford, former member of the House of Commons and several British Cabinets, author of the famous American Commonwealth, and ambassador to United States from 1907 to 1913. The Englishman had gone to climb Ararat in 1876, beginning his fascinations with the Armenians, By 1880 he had concluded that to expect the Turk to respect rights of minorities was useless. He became the principle Armenophile in Britain and founder of an Armenophile society. Bryce felt that the potential revitalizers of Asia Minor. In 1914 he visited Howard Bliss at the Syrian Protestant College; after the Armenian conflagration of 1915, he and Barton corresponded. The Englishman persistently tried in the House of Lords and other places to get British troops into Armenia. To block the Turks. But he always heard that London could not spare soldiers from other areas.
P.75: Barton’s chief effect in working with Bryce was a book edited by the Britisher and informally put together by the ACASR and a young scholar specializing in the history of the Ottoman Empire, Arnold J. Toynbee. Considerably over half the documents in the book, a 684-page volume, had come to the American and Presbyterian boards from Armenian refugees and other witnesses of the deportation. The purpose of this work, The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, 1915-16, was to attract favor for relief and for Armenian interests. The American Board secretary in 1916 ordered three thousand copies from Toynbee for influential personages, President Wilson and his adviser Colonel Edward M. House, were among those who received the book. The New York TIMES on October 8, 1916, included three pages of extracts from The Treatment. Lobbying for the ACASR, Barton obtained much support from the U.S. government. Beginning in 1915, Peet at the Bosphorus used diplomatic pouch to avoid censorship. By mid-1916 local ACASR committees had been formed in thirty-eight cities, in sixteen states, with each spreading information and raising money. To awaken the country’s consciousness Barton and his associates persuaded the Congress to pass a resolution of compassion for Armenians and Syrians. Barton also recommended that the President of U.S. appoint a special day in October 1916 for relief collections. The ACASR chairman appealed to Wilson: "Tens of thousands have miserably perished and still the assassin’s hand is not withdrawn." The President complied. Many state and local figures issued similar statements. The American Board head made ACASR prppaganda a major factor in expanding the relief movement; public relations was this executive’s forte.
P.76: Barton in 1915 recruited a professor of church history at New York’s Union Theological Seminary, William Walker Rockwell, to prepare several pieces on the Armenians. Titles of the three booklets were The Pitiful Plight of the Assyrian Christians in Persia and Kurdistan, The Deportation of the Armenians (an eyewitness account) and Ravished Armenia: the story of Aurora Mardigonian willing concubine to a Turkish officer and went through imprisonment, escape, recapture, and rape. Eventually ACASR had rescued Aurora. These pieces were not good enough for the American Board publicist in Boston. Impatient with their dispassionate quality and with Rockwell’s slowness, Barton delegated pamphleteering to men who used such titles as Atrocities – Talaat Bey Boasted that He Would Make the Armenians Pray for Massacre and He Has. Enlarging on the idea of the terrible Turk which Americans had accepted since the 1890s, the ACASR aroused hostility against Turks as brutally inhuman, degenerate agents of German Huns; it glorified Armenians as responsible Christian victimized by Muslims. These astigmatic views portrayed religion as almost the exclusive problem in Asia Minor and ignored ethnic, economic, and political factors. Notions built up in this campaign would later militate against the understanding of Near East realities needed by the people and government of the United States to fulfill the missionaries’ postwar desires. One would have to look endlessly for some American comment presenting the Turkish point of view. The closest to the Ottoman perspective was a concession that the Turkish peasant was not a bad sort; it was his leaders who were bad. Pages and columns of newspapers and magazines were full of such Social Darwinist tone as the following in the Independent of October 18, 1915: “Intellectually and physically they (the Armenians) are vastly superior to the Turks.
P.77: "In education, enterprise, industry and love of home they surpass all the other races. This ancient and proud spirited race. Conscious of its own innate superiority, ambitious to educate its children, Christian in religion, and eager for progress, cherished the hope of an independent Armenia reestablished upon the ruins of its ancient kingdom. We can hardly conceive of any power’s favoring the perpetuation of Turkey in any form after this ghastly exhibit (massacres) of Moslem incapacity to rule alien peoples or even Mohammedans." In addition to money, people gave jewelry, heirlooms and wedding gifts. The Rockefeller Foundation in 1915 and 1916 gave over $ 300,000, and the proceeds of the Harvard Yale football game of 1916 went to ACASR. Dodge facilitated relief in the Near East by persuading the richest charitable group in the United States, the American Red Cross, to assist. The Christian Herald and the Literary Digest helped solicit. By the time United States declared war on Germany, the ACASR had raised over $ 2,000,000 and had the second largest income of any American philanthropic institution. In the Ottoman Empire, the Young Turks until 1916 did not permit relief goods to enter. Probably German missionaries to Turkey indirectly pressed the Porte through their government to allow food and clothing in the Empire.
The relief goods went almost entirely to non-Turks.
P.78: American missionaries, diplomats and consuls distributed aid; mission properties became relief centers. The following individuals served on the local relief committee in Constantinople: Elkus, Lewis Heck (embassy official), Gates (RC president), Peet, Luther R. Fowle (Peet’s assistant) and Elizabeth Huntington (Dodge’s daughter and staff member at Robert College). The relief goods went almost entirely to non-Turks. Muslim received about 2% of relief’ Armenian and Arab Christians obtained most of the rest. Constantinople was allowed 35%, Tiflis 30%, Beirut 13% and Tehran and Persai [Persia?] 20%. Nestorian and Armenian displaced persons in Persia, wards of the Presbyterians, received most of Tehran’s share. Favoritism for Christian minorities did not promote goodwill with Muslims, many of whom were destitute and pitiable.
Barton did not forget the American Board and other Protestant Institutions as he pushed the ACASR. He tried in letter in April 1916 to "instill a little more ginger" in Secretary of State Lansing, to get security for Americans and the forty million dollars invested over [the] years by the different evangelistic, educational, and medical mission groups in the Ottoman Empire. This gesture was like in autumn 1914 when Protestant commercial interests in Turkey requested warships to deter the Porte from acting against Americans and minorities (soon the North Carolina and the Tennessee were in the eastern Mediterranean). At that time the Committee of Union and Progress formally sought to quiet United States fears, with Enver going so far to enroll his brother and two sons in special classes at Robert College.
P.79: The apprehension of Americans hardly disappeared over the first months of combat, because trade virtually ceased and several mission stations closed. In his worry of April 1916 Barton came out in the letter to Lansing with the exaggeration that no country other than the United States "has so extensive or long established financial interests in Turkey and the Balkans". In reply, the Secretary of State assured him of protection of persons, not property. On a sophisticated scale, ACASR practiced conditional altruism not like that practiced by one untutored American contributor to the ACASR. This contributor wrote that since sending his gift "I have thought I would like to have one of the bri[gh]test of the (Armenian) girls about 16 years old to live with me I would make a lady out of hire and when she is at a good age probably marry her". Former ambassador to the Porte, Oscar Straus, had noted as early as December 1914 in an article that mission endeavor in Turkey would be an "important factor" in the postwar development of the Ottoman Empire. Barton and Dodge wanted a Turkish reconstruction which would advance missions.
RAVISHED ARMENIA
Click for detail
P.164: (A play in Barton’s game) While Paris deliberated about Syria, the American Committee for Relief in the Near East was achieving considerable financial success in its effort to erect a new Near East. Its campaign to raise thirty million dollars had fallen short. But it distributed goods worth nine million dollars in the first half of 1919 and dispensed much of ten million dollars in grain and other commodities Hoover’s American Relief Administration had allocated. Its propaganda increased in sophistication and intensity. The monthly News Bulletin received editorial help from Talcott Williams of Columbia University’s journalism faculty. The ACRNE sent a team to Turkey to prepare a movie version of Ravished Armenia, the story of Aurora Mordigonian. After conducting previews for prominent figures, the relief group showed the movie at theatres in fifty cities. Announcements portrayed a scantly clad Aurora with hands behind her back, dragged by a stallion. Scenes in the movie included flogging of girls who refused to enter Turkish harems, [and] a nailing of twelve Armenian maidens to crosses. As to ACRNE rallies, ex-President Taft declared in Pittsburgh that the Armenian had made Near East valleys bloom like a rose. Morgenthau (chairman of the ACRNE finance committee) stated elsewhere that unless [the] United States aided Armenians the "race will die". A newspaper article with the headline, "War’s End No Relief from the Outrage to Armenians and Syrians in Persia", mentioned such phrases as fanatical Muslims, five hundred women forced to accept Islam, and "absolutely destitute Christians in most abject misery". A full-page ACRNE advertisement in the New York Times, reprinted from Literary Digest, presented two pictures: the first was four million Armenian and Syrian Christians living in lands made luminous by the footprints of Jesus, the second was Christ-led Americans rescuing needy Near Easterners.
P.165: Meanwhile at the beginning of the Peace Conference, Barton had considered with Colonel House the relation of the ACRNE to the Eastern Question. Seeking a quick commitment by the Supreme Council on the Ottoman Empire, the American Board secretary told House that efficient relief and resettlement of Armenian refugees depended on the Council’s conclusion about Turkey. The Barton Relief Commission left early in February 1919 for Constantinople. Dodge’s business associate, Arthur James, remained in Paris as a liaison; James arranged for the passage of what was eventually several hundred relief workers from France to Turkey. In the Ottoman Empire the Commission received red-carpet treatment. British authorities furnished storage and ordered their troops to guard relief supplies; the French and Italians helped. Americans aided the most. Hoover sent a man to Asia Minor to coordinate the American Relief Administration with ACRNE, especially controlling wheat speculators. Hoover allowed Relief Administration grain to go through the ACNE, particularly for Caucasus. His agency was soon was delivering cereal at the rate of five thousand tons a month. This relief helped make known the American Board – it prompted Georgians to ask for missionaries in their nation. The first of three ships provided by the U.S. Navy, the Mercurius, docked in Constantinople on Feb.12 with over a million dollars’ worth of goods, including 2.000 tons of flour, 2.500 cases of canned foods, 500 cases of condensed milk, 18 trucks, 20 ambulances, 500 sewing machines, 200 oil stoves, 1.750.000 yards of cloth, 50.000 blankets, 800 hospital cots, 26 tents, 78 X-ray machines and 200 tons of coal.
P.166: On the Leviathan which left New York February 16, were 240 mission and relief personnel, including 30 physicians and 60 nurses. Missionary Charles Riggs was in the Leviathan party. Landing in Constantinople early in March 1919, Riggs immediately became local treasurer of the Barton Relief Commission; co-passenger George White of Anatolia College became director of personnel. The Barton-led expedition got every assistance from Mark L. Bristol, a rear admiral who was agent of the American Peace Commission and the U.S. Navy at the Porte. Bristol met daily with the Barton Relief Commission centered in the American Consulate. The admiral put destroyers at its disposal and was "spokesman wherever necessary in dealing with the Turkish Government, as well as with the officials of European Governments residing in Constantinople." A solid-jowled career officer, he shared with a State Department commissioner U.S. representation in Turkey. In August 1919 he would take over the State Department function. He had close ties with missionary educators in Constantinople, visiting often their homes, residing weekends at Woman’s College.
Gates’ evenhandedness so upset Armenian workers at Robert College that they planned a strike.
P.167: From the Caucasus such statements as the following went to ACRNE at home: "Saw Refugee Women stripping flesh from dead horse with bare hands today… Another week will score ten thousand lives lost. For heaven’s sake hurry." Missionary Ernest Yarrow succeeded Main in May 1919 the latter went back to the U.S. Groups similar to the Main contingent went by train or U.S. destroyer to various parts of the Empire. George Washburn led a party to Konya, Harold Hatch to Samsun, Stanley White and Aaron Teitlebaum to Syria and Palestine. Other leaders took workers to such places as Smyrna, Adana and Bursa. Directed by American Board secretary Barton and accompanied by Caleb Gates and Gate’s son, a twenty-two-car relief train set out on the Baghdad railway, headed straight into evidences about Armenian massacres. The Protestants on the train discovered that the deported minority of Asia Minor usually had not dared to try to repossess its seized property From Aintab three older Gates winced: "We have heard many sad, sad tales here". At Urfa young Moore Gates came up with rather stupefying data: only twelve out of four thousand houses were intact in the Armenian Quarter, no more than five hundred of twenty thousand former inhabitants of the Quarter were left, fewer than five hundred Armenian children were in orphanages there, the Protestant Church building was empty ! This information was fuel for Barton’s Armenianism. It heated his conscience; he thought it wrong that no Western armies were occupying Anatolia in 1919 to provide security for Armenian survivors to find their broken houses and start afresh. He therefore left his group at Aleppo to go to Cairo for a few days, where early in April he sought persuade General Allenby to send British regiments into Asia Minor.
P.169: President Gates had left the relief train at Aleppo and retraced his way to Robert College. There he made a speech, called “bombshell” by one missionary, which warned against hope for a final enlightenment of the Muslim-Christian enigma. Less of an Armenophile and farther-seeing than the ACRNE chairman, Gates felt that any treaty setting up a separate Armenia would be unwise. Unless the Peace Conference regarded Armenian and Turkish disputes within a single frame – preferably a mandate by the United States – strife between Muslims and Christians would persist, The missionary believed that Turks would adjust to this mandate if the Allies acted quickly. In his last comments Gates said: "I have been astonished at the ardor and unanimity with which the peoples of Asia Minor, both Turks and Christians, express their desire for an American protectorate”. Gates’ evenhandedness so upset Armenian workers at Robert College that they planned a strike. Some Armenians in Constantinople were angry enough to think of seeking Gates’ removal as head of the missionary school. With endorsement from Admiral Bristol, Gates departed the Bosporus on April 24 to present his view at Paris.
P.170: After the Barton Relief Commission was in Turkey, the Herald editor exuberated: It is the biggest advertisement of particular Christian altruism that the world has ever had. The men that are in it are making a demonstration that will never be blotted out of history’s page. How’s that for a rhetoric?” Rumor in Paris was that members of the Barton Relief Commission were to be part of the future administration of Turkey. The jests of Strong were not hiding the factor that a unique demonstration of Christian altruism was a play in Barton’s game. The American Board leader wanted to get an ace, the Woodrow card, on the Near East table. A poor sign was Barton’s own unwillingness to give credence to Turkish as well as Armenian nationalism, as the Robert College head had done in his speech at Constantinople. There was no small irony in that for a period of several days in May 1919, two symbolic individuals – Barton, the West’s chief Armenophile, and Mustafa Kemal Pasha, the future “father” of Turkey – were in the Samsun-Sivas region and did not speak with each other. The ACRNE chairman coddled Armenians and scarcely communicated with the leaders of the Turkish ethnic group, by then the overwhelmingly majority people of the Eastern Anatolia.
P.171: Peripatetic Barton had the capability not only to mastermind philanthropy but to compose memorandas and other documents indefatigably. At Paris under Boghos Nubar’s pleadings, he had given attention to Armenia. Boghos insisted with good intuition, but without success, that he needed Barton’s guidance in France. The American Board secretary was the principal person to the mission-relief strategy. While there, he was active for Boghos’ cause: “We have spent much time with the Peace Comm.,” he wrote. “I think we will be able to do a good thing for Armenia”. The Supreme Council should put a single mandate, preferably by the United States, over the entire country. In an article for the Missionary Herald, he remarked that leading Muslims were speaking freely of the United States and not Europe as the ideal: “The Turks honor and respect American missionaries, their character, integrity and fairness… They know America only as they have learned through American missionaries. Removed from Gates; counsel by April, Barton in his messages thereafter dropped references to a single mandate for all of Turkey. Fresh from hearing sorrowful stories among the ethnic group to which he had given much of his life, he cabled House and others that the Armenians at once should have a guaranteed independence. He begged for a strong mandate immediately: “The Turkish Government is not preventing new atrocities to the Armenians”. Barton’s intimates in the American Board also advertised a United States role in the Near East. A Missionary Herald editorial in March 1919, said that Turkey, because of Protestant education and humanitarianism there should fall to America.
P.172: The Armenian Missionary Association, a group that the American Board had helped organize in America, resolved the deep appreciation to Barton for his acts on behalf of its countrymen overseas. The Armenian Missionary Association requested the Board to facilitate aspirations of Armenia for independence under United States wing. The words of Dodge and Williams about an obligation by Washington in the Near East were similar to the contentions of three presidents of mission colleges in Turkey. The president of International College in Smyrna, Alexander MacLachlan, responded to a request from the American Peace Commission for his view on a Greek occupation of Smyrna. “Of all the possible solutions of the Near East end of the peace settlement,” he wrote, “the one proposed is the worst. It cannot fail to be disastrous for both Turkey and Greece. Turkey will never submit to Greek domination. So long a Greek armed force remains in Asia Minor we who are domiciled here will be doomed to live under bitter war conditions”. His analysis could not have been more accurate.
P.173: He believed a healing could come to Turkey if Allied troops would replace Greek and if the Council would end its scheme of sovereignty by Athens over southeastern Anatolia: “the country can only be saved from ruin under protection of a British or American mandate.” The head of Constantinople Woman’s College, Marry Patrick, went to [the] French capital at the end of June and there prepared an article imitating the Fourteen Points: “Fourteen Reasons for an American Mandatory over Turkey”. Point one on the distaff side argued that “All the people of the Near East would welcome an American mandatory”. Armenians, Greeks, Turks would prefer the United States, Miss Patrick said in her other points, because they felt it would be more democratic than other nations, would promote harmony among ethnic groups, introduce a superior educational system, not exploit the country commercially, and stay forever. The American Committee for the Independence of Armenia (ACIA), the institution whose founding Dodge and Barton had aided late in 1918 neglected all Ottoman peoples except Armenians. In contrast to ACIA, Caleb Gates upheld the unity of Asia Minor and showed a considerable objectivity about minorities there.
P.174: Writing member of the American Peace Commission, he said: “I think that the crux of the Near East Question is not the Armenians but the Turks. The attention of the Peace Conference should be centered upon giving the Turks a good government rather than upon delivering the Armenians and Greeks from the Turkish government. Because it will be of little profit to establish an Armenia, more than half of whose people will be Turks, if alongside of this new State there remains a Turkey of the old type… To save the Armenians and the Greeks you must save the Turks also”. Wilson read this statement of Gates and said it was interesting and important. In Paris the Robert College president opposed Greek control of Smyrna, broad territorial claims by Armenians, and the International Commission on Mandates in Turkey. Mark Bristol shared much of Gate’s outlook. The admiral wrote that the Greek landing at Smyrna and other factors pointed to the absolute need of combining all of the Ottoman Empire under one mandate. Turks were leaning toward America as a mentor. After trips into Asia Minor, Bristol stated that Greece’s possession of Smyrna had antagonized Turks tremendously and would make an Ottoman treaty difficult. Seeking to point out from the Greek abuse of Turks in Smyrna that ethnic peoples in the Near East were alike, Bristol claimed that if someone would put all races “in a bag and shake them up you could not predict which one would come out first as being the best one”. The admiral disapproved of excessive pro-Greek and pro-Armenian propaganda in the United States. He believed it encouraged an American idea about the Empire which would create a new Balkan mess.
P.175: Henry Morgenthau combined the best views of Bristol, Gates and Barton; using an invitation to help the International Red Cross as an excuse to get to France, the finance chairman of the ACRNE on the first day of arrival, in March 1919, had conversations with Wilson, House and Hoover. He prepared a memorandum for Wilson: "The Future Government of Asia Minor". Morgenthau memorandum advocated that one nation, the United States or else Britain, supervise each of the three mandates” Constantinople, Turkish Anatolia and Armenia. The document included much from the overlapping views about Turkey held by people in or related closely to the Protestant lobby. The paper rejected a totally independent Armenia. It took into account the prediction that such an entity with its mixed population would not easily escape hostilities with Turks. (The ACIA felt that the Morgenthau Memorandum’s failure to approve unqualified freedom for Armenia was immoral). It was most importantly an unorthodox policy proposal, capitalizing Wilson’s prescription of a mandate system for Turkey, overriding the secret treaties, disregarding the Cobb-Lippmann and other explanations of Point Twelve, admitting a long-term U.S. embroilment in the Old World. But the Morgenthau Memorandum had important weaknesses. It came late in the Peace Conference. Further, the American public had little or no conditioning to the idea of a U.S. mandate, an idea which probably required the experience in mission-relief-government coordination developed by Barton during the years since 1915, and the American Board secretary was nearly inaccessible to Paris, having left a command post there for scouting in Asia Minor.
P.176: Perhaps it was mission-minded Prof. Albert Lybyer of the University of Illinois who kept the International Commission from expiring, Lybyer had taught for seven years (until 1906) at Robert College. Partly because of this experience, he had been able to write a book on Turkey, one of the best by Americans on Ottoman affairs. He had been one of the activists in the ACRNE. In Paris since Dec. 1918, a specialist on the Balkans within the U.S. delegation, he had worked with Crane, Bliss, Gates, Barton and Peet for American sponsorship of Armenians and Syrians. He also had contacts with such missionary professors visiting Paris as L. Scipio and Abraham Hagopian of Robert College.
P.177: At one point, Gout (French appointee) accused the American missionaries of using ACRNE philanthropy as a bid for United States territorial control of part of the Ottoman Empire; Lybyer protested moralistically. … the French intended to have Syria regardless. The fraudulent de Caix Note, accepted as authentic by the U.S. Peace Commission, led the Americans next day to decide that the Ottoman Empire was the great loot of the war and that the International Commission would be senseless. Other voices helping in this capitulation to the old diplomacy were those of the United States Zionists. The Zionists had seen that polling Arabs in Palestine was not the best way to create sentiment for a Jewish homeland and had been importuning Wilson and House with their anxieties. For years the American Zionist movement had been growing, but its competition with missionary diplomacy had not become clear until the Peace Conference.
[T]he frail Erivan Republic on its first birthday (May 28), proclaimed the annexation of six Turkish-Armenian vilayets
(p. 184)
P.178: Some U.S. ministers and consuls to Turkey in the late nineteenth century had taken an active interest in Jewish immigration to Palestine. Many American Protestants, like Presbyterian clergyman William Blackstone, had supported Zionism. In 1916 the Presbyterian General Assembly passed a resolution, sponsored by Blackstone, which endorsed [a] Jewish homeland. Wilson’s daily Bible reading aided assumption that since Jews and Armenians were people of the Bible they were certain to be reborn politically after the war. In 1919 pro-Arab missionaries like Bliss did not feel the same as Wilson and Blackstone about Zionism. These missionaries sensed the strife inherent between Arab nationalism and Zionism: they were not as much anti-Zionist as pro-Arab. An expert with the British peace delegation, Arnold Toynbee, on Saturday, April 19, stimulated Lybyer;s imagination. Toynbee informed him that Lloyd George had selected Henry McMahon (former high commissioner in Egypt), the scholar David Hogarth, and Toynbee himself for the British section of the International Commission.
P.179: By talking self-determination, America had stirred Arab emotions in Beirut, Damascus, Jerusalem and environs. One reason for the U.S. was not assertive about an investigation related to Armenia. For months the assumption among the Allies in Paris had been that the United States should take mandates for Armenia and Constantinople. Lloyd George and Clemenceau desired American obligations to Turkey because each leader mistrusted the other country’s gaining an edge in the Asia Minor settlement. Both were willing to let the United States assume the portions allotted to Russia in the nefarious secret treaties. Lloyd George especially liked the stability the presence of the U.S. could give to the Near East. In all this talk, no one urged a field study in eastern Anatolia. The massacres had depleted the Armenians there so much that nowhere were they a majority of the population. Since it seemed best to resolve the Armenian matter at Paris without an investigation, Wilson and House could see how the French felt about Syria.
P.180: The President thereupon wrote Dodge: “You need not doubt my advocacy of the utmost autonomy and protection for the Armenians and I am sure you do not”. Barton’s nine point plan for an integral Armenia under U.S. tutelage, noted above, went to the Peace Commission on January 28th. At Supreme Council sessions two days later, Wilson hinted about a United States duty in Turkey. Lloyd George, influenced by James Bryce and other British Armenophiles, said the duty should be in Armenia. On February 8 the President wrote his Secretary of War, asking if it was legal to dispatch American soldiers to Armenia and Constantinople. He got an affirmative opinion, with the caution that bring-the-boys-home demands were increasing. Then the New York Federation of Churches cabled Wilson asking British or Armenian supervision for the Armenians in Asia Minor. Disembarking in Boston after recrossing the Atlantic, Wilson in a speech of February 24 orated there: “Have you thought of the sufferings of Armenia? You poured out your money to help succor the Armenians… Now set your strength so they shall never suffer again. Lodge sympathized with Wilson’s view, though he wanted nothing to do with America’s appearing to help what he believed were tyrannical Turks”.
P.181: Unexpectedly, it was Italy’s avarice for Adalia in southwestern Anatolia, not United States assent to a separate Armenian mandate of French cupidity for Syria, which first produced a dramatic display of the West’s intent toward Turkey. Italian Premier V. Orlando was a nineteenth century imperialist guided by an excited feeling in his country that the promises of Adalia in Anatolia and other spoils to Italy by Britain and France at St.Jean de Maurienne in 1917 and in other secret agreements were sacred. Then Wilson on April 24, 1919, showed in the Supreme Council and in a press release an indomitable opposition to Italy’s violating the Fourteen Points by seeking to annex the Slavic speaking city of Fiume. Orlando thereupon left Paris and from Rome planned a retaliation. Within a week the Italian government sent warships to Fiume across the Adriatic Sea and to Antalya. Soon Italians were ashore at points on the Turkish coast and moving inland. An occupation of Smyrna seemed imminent. At news of Italy’s actions reached Paris, consternation arose not least within missionary Caleb Gates, who had arrived at the French capital early in May. This Robert College educator had said for months that procrastination over the Ottoman settlement would lead to the use of force. Consulting the American Peace Commission, Gates advocated a quick Supreme Council decision on the Ottoman Empire. He desired a U.S. mandate over Turkey down to the Arab-speaking line. As for Armenians, he believed only Western troops in Asia Minor could save them. To proclaim a separate Armenia without Allied soldiers in the area would cause a massacre.
P.182: The Supreme Council finally discussed the complicated situation. Llyod George perceived that the best way to block Italy’s unilateral moves, was an overall revision of the status of Western troops in Turkey. On May 5 he urged U.S. garrisons for Armenia and Constantinople, French garrisons in Syria, and Greek in Smyrna. His last suggestion came partly of his own Phillhellenism and out of Greek Premier E. Venizelos’ eloquent misapplication of self-determination to the Greek minority in the Smyrna region. Lloyd George hoped that Athens could become an ally of London and a bulwark against possible Russian expansion. In these discussions Wilson balked. He feared anti-Turkish opinion at home (including that of Senator Lodge) and was unsure of political backing for sending soldiers into Anatolia since his nation had not been a belligerent against the Porte. He was afraid to order the U.S. Army into Turkey, in spite of his Secretary of War’s opinion that such a move would be legal. Indeed, the Terrible Turk picture, mostly developed by the ACRNE, was boomerang. The anti-Turk stereotype was returning to strike the missionaries’ desires for American protection at Armenia. Wilson went along with Lloyd George’s wish to have Greeks land regulars at Smyrna; he did not bring into play his earlier private statements against splitting Anatolia. The tired President had an inadequate touch with his experts. They were vociferously against a region around Smyrna under Athens’ control. Wilson apparently was familiar with missionary MacLachlan’s statement against a Greek occupation, but possibly did not realize that Greece and Turkey had been fratricidal enemies for a century, as Italy and Turkey had not been. To throw Greek liquid on the Italian flame in southwestern Anatolia was to add gasoline rather than water.
James Gerard
Armenophile James Gerard
P,183: Hearing of Gates' proposal for a unified Asia Minor, Gerard of the ACIA cabled House, irresponsibly charging Gates with being more interested in converting Muslims than in defending Armenia. Gerard said the U.S. under no conditions would accept a mandate which included horrible Turks. Boghos Nubar soon expressed similar shock to House. The loose confederation of educators, philanthropists, evangelists, Armenians, and Armenophiles which Barton and Dodge had so laboriously put together in 1918 had begun to come apart. By the next day, May 14, Wilson must have sensed he had neither battalions ready nor support at home to hold out for a unified Anatolia, Also, of course, he had given his blessing for a Greek army at Smyrna. So the weary man bowed to the imperialists, even to Italian leader Orlando, and endorsed resolutions tentatively assigning mandates for Smyrna to Greece, Adalia to Italy, and central Anatolia and Cilicia to France. Subject to confirmation by the Senate, the U.S. was to have Armenia and Constantinople. Within twenty-four hours the Greek military, escorted by an Allied squadron, landed in Smyrna. The Greek invaders then ripped fezzes and robes off Turks, and forced them to cheer the Greek premier: “Long live Venizelos”. According to eyewitness Alexander MacLachlan of International College, Greeks killed over five hundred Muslims in acts “absolutely barbaric” and “equal to the worst that the Turks have ever done”. This was an auspicious way for the West to civilize the Turks. A few days after the Greek intrusion the infuriated Turkish general, Mustafa Kemal, took a self-appointed lead in organizing a Turkish movement in eastern Anatolia to protect Asia Minor from the European protectors. Soon the frail Erivan Republic on its first birthday (May 28), proclaimed the annexation of six Turkish-Armenian vilayets and increased the anger of Kemalist Turks.
P.184: Gates' prescience about conflict if the Allies sundered Anatolia was becoming a reality. Edgar Fisher at Robert College sensed the foolishness of the Greek occupation. The reasoning of the Peace Conference leaders, he believed, was "inexplicable, unless they are acting on the policy of stirring up as much discontent as possible". As to the Smyrna hinterland where Greeks began devastating Muslim villages, a Turkish graduate of Robert College told Fisher that he was helping organize Turkish volunteers to resist. Meanwhile, in Paris such associates of the missionaries as Washburn, Morgenthau, and Bryce were rushing to help Gates' program. James Bryce was trying through Secretary of State Lansing to end the current portioning ideas of the Allies. Bryce particularly did not want the French to detach Armenians in Cilicia from an integral Armenia under an American mandate. On May 21 Morgenthau sent to Wilson his paper already, discussed, “The Future Government of Asia Minor”, a document supported by many U.S. delegates. The Morgenthau Memorandum insisted that the secret treaties had no place in the Anatolian settlement. Under no circumstances should Greeks and Italians receive any part of that area. "Only a comprehensive self-contained scheme" such as tripartite protection of the whole of northern Turkey "can overcome the strong prejudices of the American people against accepting any mandate".
P.185: Not mellowed by his eighty years Clemenceau retorted angrily; the wrinkled French Premier, wearing his black skull cap, suspected an Anglo-American collaboration to lock France out of the Near East. After Clemenceau’s outburst, Wilson calmly said he felt that it should be better not to divide Anatolia, yet was uncertain whether the Republicans would permit a U.S. mandate over Asia Minor. "I will examine the question of mandate, but it seems impossible that America will accept this mandate. But she will take the Armenian mandate for humanitarian reasons. Americans have already sent missionaries, money and relief to Armenia. American opinion is interested in Armenia." (Colonel House had asked Hoover about becoming Armenia’s governor). Setting up a Near East "permanent peace" to use Dodge’s phrase, was not turning to be simple that waving the Fourteen Points would get the job done. Instead of missionaries seeing Heaven, they were smelling Hell. Not serenity but confusion was reigning in Paris; peacemakers suffered trauma as old and new orders butted each other. Both the American Peace Commission and the Protestant contingent found that a speedy, united approach to the Near East was ephemeral.
Money did not lure Turkey along the paths of harmony with the United States.
P.240: According to another scholar, “the political approach of the U.S. toward the Middle East up to 1941 could be described as one of indifference, good will and conviction that the area was a British preserve where no major American interests were involved. “ These judgments are generally accurate in the sense that the U.S. did not view Turkey as a critical nation in the interwar period.
P.241: When Turkey pressed in the mid-1930s for a revision of the Straits regime and later the acquisition of Alexandretta, the U.S. did not take sides. These political problems were chiefly the concerns of Turkey and European nations. The U.S., in contrast to various European nations, did not adopt a “big brother” attitude toward Turkey. As a matter of fact, as illustrated by frequent comments by Turkish officials, the political disinterestedness of the U.S. in Turkey was an ever present factor promoting closer Turco-American relations. International politics is only a part of international relations. This history of Turkish-American relations from 1919 to 1939 contradicts the view that Americans followed a rigidity isolationist code during these years. Although somewhat reduced in numbers, missionary and lay educators, now catering to Turks rather than to Armenians, Greeks and other minorities, remained an important group of Americans in Turkey.
P.242: The end of Turkish-American trade and the work of the missionaries of the American Board would have been a calamity for persons directly concerned with these activities, but their termination would not have seriously jeopardized the larger national interest. Foremost among the factors conditioning American relations with Turkey between 1914 and 1919 was nationalism, which complicated every problem between the two countries and affected all Americans living and working in Turkey. Nationalism was the lifeblood of the Turkish revolution and the ideological foundation upon which Kemal Ataturk based his program. Turkey, like the U.S. a century and a half earlier, fought for its independence and right to control its own destiny. Historically, Americans revered the right of independence and self determination and thus they were inclined to be sympathetic with Turks; desire to establish and maintain themselves as a nation. Armenians and their supporters based their opposition to Ataturk’s program on moral (or idealistic) grounds, saying that the long Turkish record of brutality against minorities disqualified the new Turks from international recognition. The Greeks and Armenians in Turkey, although Turkish nationals, were clearly a small minority. Obviously, the principle of self-determination could not be applied to two hostile groups occupying the same geographical area.
P.243: The U.S. government, assessing the situation realistically, recognized that only by military force could the Turks be forced to permit establishment of an independent Armenia. U.S. policy toward Turkey, a necessary combination of realism and idealism, recognized the right of the Turks to govern themselves and chart their own development as long as they did not seriously harm American interests. Except for the economic loss, it would have been much easier for American missionaries, for example, to end their work in Turkey in the face of the almost overwhelming obstacles after World War I. They decided, however, to comply with regulations dictated by Turkish nationalism, rather than lose the opportunity, however limited, to advertise the goodness of Christianity by personal example in their schools and medical facilities. Obviously, the missionaries preferred to combine religion with education and to make direct attempts at converting Muslims to Christianity but, realistically, they acknowledged that these courses at action were impossible. At times missionaries and other Americans in Turkey grumbled and asked for diplomatic protection, but generally they recognized and respected Turkish nationalism, The “Terrible Turk” stereotype was another important conditioner of Turkish-American relations, both during and after World War I. This conception of the Turk, circulated widely by in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, impeded the State Department’s postwar effort to resume regular relations with Turkey. The description had some historical validity when applied to Turkish treatment of the Armenians, but it was unfair to the Turks of the post-Lausanne period. Armenian-Americans and their supporters, in their fight for an Armenian home and their opposition to the Turkish-American Lausanne Treaty, continued to use time worn epithet. This unfortunate representation contributed strength to the opponents of the Lausanne Treaty and helped defeat it in 1927. Led by the Armenian-American lawyer, Vahan Chardasian [Cardashian], the enemies of Turkey in the United States, sought, with some success to cloud the issues in Turkish-American relations by poisoning American public opinion.
P.244: As the years passed, the futility of the Armenian cause and the splendid example being set in Turkey blurred the “unspeakable” Turk image in the U.S. The efforts of U,S, diplomatic representatives, the State Department, and other interested individuals to publicize Turkish development, and praise from Americans who worked or visited in Turkey, did much to improve public opinion in the United States. The American Friends of Turkey, through philanthropic work in Turkey and a publicity campaign in the United States, made an impressive contribution painting a more accurate picture of the new Turks. Fortunately, the old stereotype had almost disappeared by 1939. The Turkish people had shown their capacity to change, and the American people forgave past misdeed[s] when confronted with a vastly changed situation. Admiral Mark L. Bristol’s service as High Commissioner between 1919 and 1927 was meritorious and contributed to good relations between Turkey and the United States despite lack of formal ties.
P.245: The President and his advisers made the decisions to sign the Lausanne Treaty in 1923 and the agreement of February, 1927. But, particularly in the case of the Lausanne Treaty, the influence of a minority of the American public coupled with political considerations caused [the] Senate to reject the treaty.
P.246: In the short space of twenty years, a new enlightened republican government had installed itself firmly in a Turkey vastly changed from the time of the Sultans, The government of Kemal Ataturk was a benevolent dictatorship; it designed its principles, policies and programs to revitalize the Turkish people as a nation and restore them to a position of consequence on the international scene. American diplomats, missionaries, doctors, traders, businessmen, archeologists and tourists provided the individual links so essential to understanding between the two nations. The two countries smoothed over their problems and built a solid basis for friendship without the assistance of foreign-aid programs like those of the World War II and postwar eras. Money did not lure Turkey along the paths of harmony with the United States. During the interwar period, not one cent of such aid went to Turkey from the U.S. government.
P.247: The Truman Doctrine was not a direct result of friendship established by Turkey and the U.S. between 1919 and 1939, but the events of the interwar years certainly provided a logical basis for it. Turkish President Celal Bayar told his Parliament on November 1, 1958, that the relationship between Turkey and the United States “is based on mutual respect and confidence” and that “the bonds are even stronger than ever”.
When the French left Cilicia, over one hundred fifty thousand Greeks and Armenians fled with them.
“CLAMOROUS ARMENIANISM”
P.259: Barton and Montgomery prepared a booklet, The United States Government and Help to Armenia, which traced Western obligations to Armenians. Near East Relief in June 1921 distributed the booklet to every Congressman and hundreds of leaders and organizations in every state. The State Department soon responded to this propaganda by forwarding to Boston a Bristol dispatch which recommended missionaries; forbearance both in Turkey and in Armenia and abstention from an anti-Turkish campaign. Near East Relief and the American Board soon discovered that Armenianism no longer was going to move the U.S. government into Turkish peacemaking. A lull came in mission-relief lobbying when Barton, whom an Armenian leader described as the intercessor between Western and Eastern Christians and “father” of the Armenians, surveyed the Far East for the American Board. Near East Relief’s educational director, Ernest Riggs, who returned from Anatolia in late summer 1921 after expulsion by Kemalists for pro-Armenian policies, partly filled Barton’s place. At the London Conference of sprinh 1921 which Barton attended, Italy had agreed with the Kemalists to withdraw from Adalia in return for economic concessions. The Greeks tried to check the Allies’ move away from Sevres by marching east into central Anatolia to capture Ankara. Just short of the Kremalist capital, the Greek advance halted. Mustafa Kemal and his troops then made ready for countering the Greeks while skirmishing against French in Cilicia. At the end of the summer the Greeks lost fifteen thousand men in a desperate battle along the Sakarya river, and retired to the Baghdad railway. Weakened in Cilcia because of this Kemalist victory, France in October promised the Turkish nationalists to evacuate the area which the London Conference had set an Armenian national home.
P.260: Having more losses than any Western nation in the war, France decided that Syria was the only vital interest it could afford in the Near East. When the French left Cilicia, over one hundred fifty thousand Greeks and Armenians fled with them. Bristol since January 1921 had been receiving evidence that the Ankara government wanted formal relations with the United States. After the French agreed to withdraw from Cilicia, Bristol persuaded Washington to send to Ankara a U.S. Department of Commerce official to discuss economic matters informally. During the Commerce official’s stay in the Kemalist capital, the Armenia-America Society kept trying to get an Armenian national home. Montgomery got stimulation from a visit by Bryce to the United States; Bryce thought the Greeks could force a Turkish evacuation of Cilician Armenia. Montgomery and Riggs drafted a resolution and persuaded Congressman John J. Rogers of Massachusetts to introduce it in December 1921. The Rogers Resolution requested that the U.S. call a conference to consider methods for establishing the Cilician Armenians as a nation. Back from the Far East, Barton set about getting Secretary of State Hughes to bring up the Cilician issue at the Washington Naval Conference. He had such a concert partly because the Kemalists had driven American Board personnel out of Cilicia. But Bristol summed up the State Department’s reaction to Barton, writing that partiality for Christian minorities was an injury to them so long as the West did not supply the military forces required for Turkish compliance with a separate Armenia. Bristol’s attitude Barton and Montgomery, who sought to have Bristol removed as Armenian high commissioner to Turkey, in part because Bristol had not defended Ernest Riggs when the Kemalists had expelled that missionary. Rather, Bristol had remonstrated with Riggs for favoritism to Armenians. Barton felt that Bristol’s apparent accommodation to the Kemalists was “absolutely wrong.” Riggs doubted the wisdom of an anti-Bristol position; “I confess that I fear” he confided to Montgomery, “that a new man going from America might be led to the same position which Admiral Bristol holds.”
P.241: Yet Barton went ahead with a case against Bristol, in which in March 1922 he presented to Secretary Hughes. The theme was that Bristol had not protected American interests in the Near East. Commending the Admiral for zeal and ability, Barton declared that Bristol “inclined to take the word of a Turk as more value than the word of an American”, and to defend the Turks more than the minorities. But attacking a fairly perceptive Bristol was trying to remove a symptom. The missionaries needed to think about coming to terms with the Kemalists, Relying on a West determined to behave irresponsibly about Asia Minor was not producing security for the Armenians or for the Protestants from the United States.
Barton and other friends of Armenia could not obtain a State Department endorsement of the proposed dismissal of Bristol or of the Rogers Resolution. As the Allies in February and March 1922 postponed scrapping the Sevres Treaty and reaffirmed a national home for Armenians, the American government remained aloof. The Secretary in April 1922 wrote Barton at length: “I am very sorry to say that I see no way in which this Government can, in existing circumstances, act to the advantage of the Ottoman Greeks or of the Armenians…” Then, another flicker of hope. Barton acted vigorously when in May 1922 the British ambassador to Washington proposed a Western investigation of alleged Turkish atrocities, There had been reports of new deportations attending the Kemalist-Greek war. The executive committee of Near East Relief directed its chairman to ask Hughes to appoint a representative for the investigation.
P.262: The American Board secretary reported to Caleb Gates that recent publicity by Near East Relief and the Federal Council of Churches had done something of worth for the Armenians: Washington had decided to join an international inquiry of Muslim-Christian relations in Asia Minor. Giving a sop to Armenianism, Hughes in June 1922 publicly announced America’s commitment to the inquiry. The Secretary followed Barton’s desire and James Harbord be the American representative. But the French and Italians balked at a mobe which might weaken their relations with the Ankara government; so the inquiry was put in the hands of the International Red Cross. Dulles in July told Barton that the idea of an international commission was unworkable. Meanwhile Near East Relief continued its philanthropy. It had transferred work out of such Kemalist areas as Kars (annexed from Erivan Republic in December 1920) and Harput to Soviet Armenia and Syria. The Relief Group early in 1922 dismissed twenty five thousand children from orphanages because of limited funds. It was in August 1922 that relief chairman Barton observed Kemalist momentum pushing all before it. The Turkish nationalists began an offensive against the Greeks, and within three weeks pushed their antagonists into the Aegean sea. Kemalists soon controlled all of Asia Minor. This drive to the Aegean outraged the American Board secretary, not least because a fire in Smyrna inflicted damage more than one hundred thousand dollars to Board property. Foreseeing an Armageddon. Barton burst against Turks, whom he chose to blame for missionary problems: “The rights of Americans and of minorities are held in contempt and all civilized laws are defied” he wrote to Harding and Hughes “as we must always expect from a distinctly Mohammedan Government. We are witnessing what promises to be beginning of another European war, in which barbarianism will be arraigned against civilization”. He urged a Western ultimatum to the Kemalists, and troops to the Bosporus to save the Near East. Several church groups passed resolutions with similar language. But the thunder of the First World War’s rhetoric was ineffective.
P.263: The view of Turks in Barton’s message to Harding and Hughes was inappropriate, as remarked by President MacLahlan of International College. The Turks did not massacre Greeks, as Greeks had done to Turks in May 1919. About the worst the Turkish Army did was force captured Greek soldiers to shout “Long live Mustafa Kemal” (in return to their forcing Turks to shout Zito Vrenizelos when they entered Smyrna) as they marched intro detention. Turkish soldiers protected International College during the disruption of the occupation; a Turkish cavalryman rescued MacLahlan from irregulars who nearly beat the missionary to death while trying to loot the agricultural buildings of the college. A three-day Smyrna fire (September 13-15), which Turks made every effort to control, destroyed nearly a square mile in Greek and Armenian areas and made two hundred thousand people homeless. Included in this loss was the American Board’s Collegiate Institude for Girls. MacLachlan’s investigation of the fire’s origin led to the conviction that Armenian terrorists, dressed in Turkish uniforms, fired the city. Apparently the terrorists were attempting to bring Western intervention. Informing Washington of a three million dollars claim by the American Board against the Ankara government, Barton requested through an aide that the U.S. participate in any conference planned by the Allies to rewrite the Treaty of Sevres. As the West talked of negotiating with the Kemalists, part of the American public began to realize that Armenianism and godliness were not identical. Ever since missionaries in the nineteenth century had become the dominant U.S. concern in the Ottoman Empire, opinion in America increasingly favored Christian minorities.
“Why aren’t the atrocities committed by a Christian nation more heinous than those committed by Moslem races”, if Christianity is better than Islam? -- Admiral Mark Bristol
P.264: With the massacres of the 1890s, attitudes had become fixed on the stereotype of the terrible Turk. It was Gates and Bristol who lead in weakening Armenianism in the American mind. Gates declared in his memoirs: “I had often told my students that I was pro-Turk just as I was pro-Armenian, pro-Bulgarian, pro-Greek, pro-Jew”. Bristol though never disagreeing with missionaries that the United States should lead Ottoman reconstruction, had opposed their Armenianism. Believing Armenophile publicity “exaggerated, misconstructed, and abusive,” Bristol in early 1920 told Barton in some ways it had called forth the worst Turkish feelings. He said to the mission secretary that it was contrary to the American sense of fair play to kick a man when he was down and give him a chance to defend himself. With concurrence from Gates, Bristol repeated often in 1921 and 1922 that relief workers and minorities had provoked reprisals and were like the boy who “poked the hornets” nest and naturally was thoroughly stung. Bristol thought the boy should be paddled. Troubled that killings by Armenians and Greeks did not get into the American press, the admiral wondered in his diary, “Why aren’t the atrocities committed by a Christian nation more heinous than those committed by Moslem races”, if Christianity is better than Islam? He worked on the feelings of William Peet, but he decided Peet had an unchangeable resentment against Turks. Bristol acknowledged that since Turks had failed the missionary so many times, there was a reason for his negativenesss.
P.265: In autumn 1922 a pro-Turk statement in an American periodical figured in a public debate about Asia Minor. Retired Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester, believing opinion against Turks was harmful to State Department backing for his revival of earlier Chester Project (currently called the Ottoman-American Development Corporation) published, “Turkey Reinterpreted”. Trying to reverse thirty years of Armenianism in one dramatic attempt, the flighty, seventy-eight-year-old Chester produced an extreme model. He depicted Turks as moral, religious, and honest (“Although I have been much in Turkey I never met a crooked Turk”). As for the Armenian massacres, he not only stirred up history but made a little of his own: “Armenians were moved from inhospitable regions where they… could not actually prosper to the most delightful and fertile part of Syria… In due course of time the deportees, entirely unmassacred and fat and prosperous, returned”. He claimed that an acquaintance had seen Armenian towns filled with astonishing live ghosts. What a pity, he remarked, "to upset the good old myth of Turkish viciousness… but in the interest of accuracy I find myself constrained to do so, although it makes me feel a bit like one who is compelled to tell a child that Jack the Killer really found no monstrous men to slay". The mission-relief reaction to the old man was as serious as to California Congressman A,M. Free's public charge a year earlier that Armenians had killed more Turks than vice versa (Free retreated when Near East Relief pressed for evidence). The fat was in flames. In addition to the Chester-Montgomery interchange, Current History carried an analysis of missionary and relief organizations by journalist Clair Price. For a series of four articles Price, visited Ankara and Constantinople, including a talk with Bristol.
"... the monopoly of opinion about Asia Minor held so long by missionary and Armenian groups."
P.266: The journalist stated that American missions, Armenian clauses in the Treaty of Berlin, and such societies as the Dashnaktsuthiun had alienated Armenians from Turks. After the war, he declared, missionaries to the Ottoman Empire sought to take over the country and use Armenians for this vast political project. Price said that the Near East Relief was at the same time of his writing flooding the United States with Armenianism through its monthly, New Near East (successor to the News Bulletin). He noted that the editor of the periodical, Talcott Williams, had published a book pleading for America to adopt a protectorate over Asia Minor. (Actually, Williams in his book, although showing special concern for the "great people" of Armenia , did recognize that both Christians and Muslims committed atrocities against each other. Price regarded Kemalist leaders as trustworthy and not implicated in the Armenian massacres. He thought that mission and relief workers should communicate with the Ankara government, stop "clamorous Armenianism", realize that the millet system made it almost impossible for Turks to regard Christianity as anything other than an unfriendly political program, and accept the Turkification of Asia Minor. Montgomery protested in Current History that American Missionary schools were not divisive. Armenian revolutionary leaders criticized the American Board schools, Montgomery said, because they prohibited politics.
P.267: Another missionary defender less restrained than Montgomery was Everett P. Wheeler, who had helped relief among Armenians since [the] 1890s. Wheeler claimed it a perversion of patriotism to blame missionaries and Armenians for seeking victory over the Allied enemy, the Turks. History had praised the defense of the West against Muslim intrusion in the Middle Ages he said, and Christian nations should receive credit for seeking protection of Christians in the Near East. An unorthodox view had arisen, and Barton saw Bristol and Gates had helped bring it into being. The public debate of late 1922 loosened the grip of Armenianism upon Americans. It also helped threaten the monopoly of opinion about Asia Minor held so long by missionary and Armenian groups. The debate came at the same time that President Harding decided the United States would send observers to a conference at Lausanne, which the Allies were calling to negotiate a peace with the Kemalists. Bristol’s preaching about un-Christian elements in Armenianism never found its mark with Barton until Kemalist guns made it ridiculous for the American Board to snub Ankara any longer. The Turks eventually named a hospital in Istanbul for Bristol in recognition of his sense of justice. The missionaries since the 1830s often had sustained their enterprise by being anti-Muslim and anti-Turk.
P.268: The American Board also had been willing to idolize its institutions among Armenians more than to remember that God is no respecter of persons. If Barton had heeded Jesus’ instruction about loving enemies and praying for those who are spiteful, the mission secretary might have seen Christianity in Bristol’s remarks long before the Greek evacuation of Smyrna.
P.269: Some voices urged a United States mediation between European nations and the Kemalists; Secretary Hughes stated in a speech in Barton’s home city that the American Government did not intend to intervene in Turkey, Before [the] Lausanne Conference opened there was an interesting exchange between the Harding administration and Barton forces. The American Board secretary had pressed Washington for formal representation at the negotiations. Harding on October 5, 1922, wrote that the United States “can be represented informally and properly safeguard American interests”.
A Thought or Two from Holdwater
While Author Joseph L. Grabill has written a mostly fair account, he is clearly a "genocide enthusiast," and I would like to address his questioning of Admiral Chester Colby's credibility on "Pg. 265." Grabill didn't like Colby's finding the Turks as "moral, religious, and honest," but it's not like Colby was the first open-minded Westerner to have arrived at such a shocking conclusion. For example, Missionary Elder Tanner wrote in 1886 that ,"[The Turks] are the most honest and moral of the Orientals," and ten years earlier, Grattan Geary wrote (in ''Through Asiatic Turkey") :
"When a Mohammedan gives me his word," said a gentleman who had a long experience of the country, "whether he be a Turk or a Kurd, I can always rely on it. I have never been what is called ' done ' by a Mussulman, although I have had transactions of all kinds with Moslems for years ; but when a native Christian tells me anything, I have cause instinctively to ask myself where the deception lies — in what direction I am going to be tricked. There are exceptions, of course; but if anyone has many dealings with Mussulmans and native Christians in these parts, he will soon learn that the one may be depended on, and the other will almost to a certainty deceive and cheat you if you give him a chance."
As far as Chester's making up history regarding the massacres, it's true, the admiral may have been painting too rosy a picture because Armenians were by no means having a picnic in the areas they were transferred to. Given the wretched anti-Turkish tales Americans were accustomed to hearing, however, Colby can't be blamed in accentuating the positive. What exactly is untrue? As opposed to propaganda telling us that Armenians were left in the deserts to die, it is generally true the regions they were moved to happened to be part of "The Fertile Crescent."
Many relocated Armenians died of famine and disease during their resettlement, not of massacres. Colby was being primarily honest with the "unmassacred" claim. And many did return, only to leave again. (The Patriarch is on record for estimating up to 644,900 Armenians in what was left in 1921's empire, from a pre-war population of 1.5 million; many had already left by this time, hundreds of thousands to Transcaucasia alone.)
He might have been stressing the bright side with the "fat and prosperous" part, although it's a fact many Armenians survived. For example, General Sir W. N. Congreve similarly had stated: "I did not see a thin (Armenian refugee) amongst a good many thousand I saw, and most looked cheery too. The massacres seem to have been a good deal exaggerated."

" An important turning point in the history occurred in 1915 when officials of the Ottoman Empire massacred or deported several hundred thousand Turkish Armenians...."
1. several hundred thousand ??? Who says ?
2. 1915 : Just for the record, if one refers to missionary sources, protestant, too, swiss or German, we may remember that between the lines accusing the Ottoman Empire, we can find, too, lines "happy" to pass the message that "in September 1915" thanks to the aid given to Armenians, and the arms brought to them, Armenians were better armed than the Turkish population of Urfa (for instance) "who were afraid of them". These Christian missionaries were happy to note, too, that in September of this year, your could not find a Mollah climbing any minaret in this region without being shot down" (how funny)
3. Fact is that since 1915, Germany had so many successes on the ground, it could begging to breathe (between France and Russia) and could play "buddy" on this "Christian" front. It was even, for Germany, a way to buy at a cheap price, a kind of "redemption" for its own crimes, referred to, in French as "brutalization de la guerre"
It was easier for some, to focus on the "axis of evil" (first edition. Bush just created a copy of the mould), than look at the global violence of WW1. Useful for USA to titillate Americans to enter the war (yes, we saw a remake, too. Some need to feel beautiful and Savers of the World, I suppose).... and Useful for Europe, to forget the deportations in France/Germany, and the wars around Alsace Lorraine, since 1840, 1870 ...
The more I study the pieces, in French, German, English or Turkish, and more am I totally shocked how 5 sources (more or less) are copy-pasted, on and on and on. How is it possible not to observe, too, how the "accusing pieces" were copy-pasted and edited once more, since the 70's... just in time and in chorus, with ASALA (Christian Armenian terrorism) new crusade. The 70's... good timing, isn't it ? in the UdSSR - USA game, nothing like some new pawn of the same chess game.......
In 1915, Turks were surrounded by a very united Christian Force, benefiting from the "pénétration pacifique" Germany loved to talk about (to excuse its links with something so... unchristian as Turks) + Russia's buddies (Armenians on the verge to taste what their Revolutionary dreams would mean for their own "auto-determination"...) Well... to be a pawn is a risky choice. To be a buddy of 2 antagonist forces (at war) fighting against a Third is a super risky bet.
The more so as even Christians were divided... The newly "converted" Armenians (to protestantism) discovered this, too... But of course, it's easier to accuse Turks alone than note the complexity of the situation. Note the specificity of all the actors present and their own agendas. All this is a little bit like Euler intersecting circles. Sadly for some, closed circles leave some out.

The Fluid City//Kelly McCain
As a physical edge, urban waterfronts have historically provided both margins and thresholds between cities and nature. As the foundation of transportation, trade, and industry, America’s ports led to growth and prosperity along its waterways. However, as further settlement and industrialization spread through the United States along with the birth of the rail system, trade shifted from water to land. Since the mid-1970s, cities waterfronts have been re-evaluated and identified as prospects for urban renewal after years of neglect. Often attempts to re-imagine the urban waterfront in the twenty first century lead to one of two strategies: demolition or preservation. These approaches employ either a “carnivalesque” or “mummified” attraction for the interim tourist that further disconnects the city from the water. Thus, urban waterfronts that once served as the catalyst of growth and source of identity of America’s cities are now in a state of jeopardy as gentrification erases their fabric and history. In response, this thesis rejects the notion of large-scale waterfront redevelopment. In order for the future adaptation of American ports to be viable and authentic, they must first be appreciated and understood.
This thesis proposes to explore the potential of layering time, terrain, and infrastructure to reveal the intrinsic quality of the post-industrial waterfront of Erie, Pennsylvania and its unique position within the natural harbor of Presque Isle. Through a deep analysis of the connection between the port of Erie, its developed city, and the temporal landscape beyond, this thesis will catalyze the cities existing cultural core and utilize it as the anchor of a continuous seam through the waterfronts edge. It will do so through the development of a new public promenade from the city to State Street pier, in the form of a series of activated public spaces that will both celebrate and engage the last remaining relics of the ports memory. By utilizing the integration of urban design, landscape design, and architecture to both analyze and engage the layers of place, this urban waterfront intervention activates and reconnects the city of Erie to the water and the temporal landscape beyond.

ARIA Award-winning jazz bassist Jonathan Zwartz has put together a very special supergroup of stellar Australian jazz musicians to perform at the Festival. The group features Julien Wilson (saxophone), Carl Dewhurst (guitar) and Hamish Stuart (drums).
Jonathan Zwartz, the New Zealand-born Australian-based ARIA Award-winning jazz bassist has put together a supergroup of stellar Australian jazz musicians for the Festival, featuring Julien Wilson saxophone, Carl Dewhurst guitar and Hamish Stuart drums.
Apart from being known as a legend of the Australian jazz scene, Zwartz, who’s played with stars ranging from Lionel Loueke and Pharoah Sanders to Nigel Kennedy and members of the Rolling Stones, is also a composer and songwriter. His debut album of original compositions “The Sea” won Best Australian Jazz Ensemble and Best Australian Jazz Song at the 2010 Australian Jazz Bell Awards.
Since then he has produced “The Remembering and Forgetting of the Air” and “Animarum“, both albums winning Best Jazz Album at the ARIA Awards of 2013 and 2018 respectively. Animarum was feature album of the week on ABC Jazz, with their reviewer explaining, “yet another smörgåsbord of intricate compositions, woven together… Each piece is unique, drawing on a plethora of musical influences from all over – yet they are also sequenced together to create a truly engrossing musical experience.” Animarum was produced with support of the Australian Cultural Foundation and described as follows: “In a world of instant gratification, and record labels churning out predictable one hit wonders, Jonathan’s music is a tonic for the soul” . (Visit Jonathan Zwartz’s Website)
A leading figure in the jazz and improvised music scene, Carl Dewhurst can effortlessly slide across genres, from pop to world music, rock to blues, blurring them at will. During his 30-year career, Carl has been a regular member of the James Morrison Quintet and the Australian Art Orchestra, Daorum, Scott Tinkler’s DRUB, Stu Hunter’s Migration and Band of Five Names. He has also played with Mike Nock, Jim Black, Dale Barlow, Bobby Previte, Terumasa Hino, Vince Jones, Bernie McGann, Synergy Percussion, Paul Capsis, Caroline Nin, Archie Roach, Emma Pask, Leo Sayer, Rick Springfield and Uncle Jed. His original projects include Showa 44 with Simon Barker, The Drip Hards, Carl Dewhurst Quartet and Dewey. He has composed and performed music for Belvoir St Theatre and his work with Showa 44 has appeared on film. Carl is a lecturer at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the James Morrison Academy of Music. (Visit Carl Dewhust’s Website )
Saxophonist Julien Wilson has been described as
“A tenor saxophone making gentle, sensuous jazz is a grand tradition, like paddle-steamers cruising on wide, slow rivers. Wilson eases his own tenor into that tradition, in the process creating one of the great Australian jazz albums. This is music where the horn’s sound seems to melt in your ears, becoming creamy, viscous and rather sly.” – John Shand – Sydney Morning Herald. (Visit Julien Wilson’s Website )
Over the last 30 years Hamish Stuart has played with dozens of innovative musicians and popular bands in a range of genres and is one of the most sought-after, respected and loved drummers in Australia. “He puts air around the beat, eschews cliché, and brings to bear beautifully-tuned drums, the sound of which always fits the context like a glove”. (John Shand). (visit Hamish Stuart’s Website)

Lucasfilm Reveals the Sith Trooper
por skywalker | 13julio, 2019 - 12:02 am | 13julio, 2019 DC Comics, Entertainment, Marvel, MCU
Comentarios desactivados en Lucasfilm Reveals the Sith Trooper
Today we thought we’d take a little break from the latest Marvel and Stan Lee news and drop in for a visit on a galaxy far, far away…
You’ve heard of Clone Troopers, Stormtroopers, and First Order Troopers, but have you ever laid your eyes on a Sith Trooper?
Well that’s exactly what we’re going to get in the latest
and final film installment of the Star
Wars trilogy of trilogies, otherwise known as the Skywalker Saga. Lucasfilm
revealed the surprise edition to Star
Wars canon this week with the crimson clad Sith Troopers, set to debut in The
Rise of Skywalker, shocking fans across the globe.
Despite being obvious targets for blaster fire, the blood red design is quite striking, with elements incorporated from previous trooper armor, the Return of the Jedi’sImperial Royal Guards and the Praetorian Guard from The Last Jedi film. Oddly enough, the suits seem to take the most inspiration from the prequel era Clone Trooper armor, with similarly shaped helmets and visors.
All shapes aside, the biggest question coming out of this
announcement is who are the Sith Troopers loyal to? The obvious answer is the
Sith, but the Sith haven’t been around since Darth Sidious took a nose dive
down a reactor shaft in Return of the Jedi. It was even said in The
Force Awakens that although Kylo Ren is a dark side user, he is a member of
the Knights of Ren, and not a Sith.
There wasn’t any mention of Supreme Leader Snoke’s allegiance to the dark Sith lords in the previous two movies. So, it is possible that these new troopers won’t be following the First Order into battle at all. But then, who commands them?
With the tease of Emperor Darth Sidious’ return in the first trailer for The Rise of Skywalker, there is speculation that they could be the Emperor’s own personal troops. We don’t yet know what form Sidious’ return will take, whether as a hologram recording, a droid, some kind of dark side force entity, or the dark lord himself in the flesh. If it is in fact Sidious, whose side is he on? Will he side with Kylo Ren and the First Order? Or will Rey and the Resistance have to team up with their enemies to battle this old foe?
We’ll all just have to wait and guess until December 20th
reveals all the Star Wars secrets to us. Isn’t speculation fun?
Excel… I mean, may the force be with you!

Besides panels, one of the biggest draws to SDCC is the
exclusive toys and other merch that debuts at the convention every year. This
year is no different, especially for Marvel. While Marvel has several ongoing
toy collaborations, the big news will be the exclusives slated for release during
the Con. This realm of news is constantly updated, with more reveals from
various toy companies coming.
Mattel always has an exciting booth, thanks to its collaborations with brands like DC, Star Wars, and of course, Marvel. So far, they’ve got a long list of exclusives, but only one of those is a Marvel toy. Created in partnership with Hot Wheels, the “Spider Machine GP-7” will be available for attendees to purchase at the convention. The car is based on the 1978 Japanese Spider-Man animated series that had motocross racer Takuya Yamashiro take on the mantle of Spidey. You can read the full lowdown on the Mattel release HERE.
One of the biggest toy companies attending the convention, Funko, has released a handful of Marvel-themed Pop! toys to debut at SDCC. So far, the company has released new figures that encompass both the MCU and Marvel Comics including Gamora, Wong, and more. The announcement can be seen HERE.
Hasbro is keeping anticipation high right up to the Con by only releasing tiny trickles of new information about their Marvel collection. Among the first sets of news drops is a vintage Hulk action figure that celebrates 80 years of Marvel. Although there have been many iterations of the Big Green Guy over the years, the Hasbro SDCC exclusive goes all the way back to the beginning, with the iconic purple shorts and even a broken lead pipe in his hand. Beyond this, as part of the Marvel Legends series, intergalactic characters the Collector and the Grandmaster will be coming to SDCC in toy form. Although the two are never seen together onscreen, these figurines will be debuting as a two-pack available exclusively at the Con and come complete with props from their films. For more Hasbro news, check out their Instagram feed as it updates new releases HERE.
It looks like the most extensive selection of Marvel-themed SDCC exclusives will be at Sideshow Collectibles. Although the figurines are on the pricier side, Sideshow guarantees unmatched detail and an interesting variety of both well-known and lesser-known characters. Since Avengers: Endgame’s release, everyone has been paying tribute to Iron Man, so naturally some of the exclusive attendee-only releases have been dedicated to him. First, there’s the “Neon Tech Iron Man 2.0” that shows off the future of the Iron Man suit in a whole new light – it literally lights up! Then there’s the suit that started it all, the Mark 1. This hand-painted figurine depicts the original Iron Man suit built by Tony Stark as a means to escape his terrorist captors and includes a replica of the man himself, as well. There will also be a golden figure of Thanos called “The Mad Titan Designer Toy,” based on an animated likeness of the character. Even if you can’t attend SDCC there will still be Marvel toys available to purchase online that weekend, including Ghost Rider. You can see the full lineup HERE.
This toy
list will surely grow longer by the time SDCC rolls around, so be sure to keep
an eye out for other exclusive releases centered around the convention. See you
in San Diego!

Over 750 Marvel Netflix Props Are Up for Auction!
Comentarios desactivados en Over 750 Marvel Netflix Props Are Up for Auction!
The Marvel
Netflix partnership will soon have run its course, but fans can still get hold
of a piece of history from the recent era of gritty TV shows featuring a
handful of iconic characters. Marvel is teaming up with Prop Store for a live
public auction of over 750 various props from all seasons of Luke Cage, Iron
Fist, and Daredevil on August 12 and 13, 2019.
Props both big and small will be available in a wide variety of price ranges. If you’re willing to set aside a nice chunk of change, you could start a successful superhero career of your own! Matt Murdock’s Daredevil suit, Luke Cage’s hoodie, and Danny Rand’s Iron Fist uniform are all up for grabs. These costumes are listed as having “minor signs of wear from production,” meaning each suit was worn on set, likely by the stars themselves!
If you don’t have over $10K to drop on a literal super-suit, that’s perfectly fine. You can still acquire smaller items from the show, ranging from Matt Murdock’s sunglasses to Colleen Wing’s katana to decorations from the Harlem’s Paradise club seen in Luke Cage. Villain-wear is also available in the auction, such as costume pieces from characters like Kingpin, Bullseye, Diamondback, and more.
the auction will be conducted live in Valencia, CA, on the specified days for
each respective show, call-in bids, online bids, and absentee bids can also be
accommodated, allowing Marvel fans all over the world to get in on the action. All
the items are on display in the catalog and online pre-bidding is already
available. Check out the full
auction listing HERE.

Obscure Stan Lee Characters from A-Z: The Electric E’s!

Comentarios desactivados en Obscure Stan Lee Characters from A-Z: The Electric E’s!
It’s Trivia Tuesday! Which of the below characters did Stan have a hand in creating?
A. Echo
B. Eon
C. Eternity
D. Eel
And the answers are…
C. Eternity and D. Eel!
Eternity isn’t a person but rather an abstract cosmic being, dreamt up by the famous team of Stan Lee and Steve Dikto. Though Eternity was first referred to in the pages of Strange Tales #134 in July 1965, the character didn’t make an appearance until four issues later. Despite—or perhaps because—Eternity is intangible and the quintessence of the multiverse, the entity possesses immense power. One of the upsides to that ability? If Eternity wants a situation to have a certain outcome, it can basically influence the multiverse in order to make it so. (How cool would that be?!)
The Eel fluttered into Marvel Comics way back in September 1963 in the pages of Strange Tales #112. Another brainchild of Stan and Steve Ditko, this villain, aka Leopold Stryke, donned an ensemble that produced an electrical sensation just like its namesake. Not to mention, a slick coat of, well, something covered his suit, assumingly in another attempt to align with his amphibian equivalent. At various times, the Eel joined evil forces with other criminals including Porcupine, Unicorn, and Plantman to battle the likes of the X-Men and other heroes.
As for the other two, do you know their origins? If not, it’s always good to learn something new, right?
Echo was introduced 20 years ago in the pages of Daredevil Vol. 2. #9 in December 1999 by Joe Quesada and David Mack.
Eon was the brainchild of writer/artist Jim Starlin, debuting in Captain Marvel #28 in September 1973.
Every couple of weeks, we’ll spotlight some of Stan’s
most obscure co-creations through trivia, starting with A and ending with Z!
Stay tuned for ‘F,’ coming soon!

First Disney+ Series ‘Loki’ Set Photo Surfaces, Tom Hiddleston Speaks
por skywalker | 8julio, 2019 - 6:05 pm | 8julio, 2019 DC Comics, Entertainment, Marvel, MCU
Comentarios desactivados en First Disney+ Series ‘Loki’ Set Photo Surfaces, Tom Hiddleston Speaks
over, but Loki always finds a way to persevere. Thanks to the positive audience
reaction to the character ever since his first appearance in 2011 and thanks to
the great filmmakers who gave him such a dynamic story arc, Loki is getting his
own spin-off series on Disney+. As is typical for a Marvel Studios production,
everything is still under a nearly impenetrable layer of mystery.
During Endgame
we got an idea of how Loki might have avoided his death in Infinity War, but besides having seen
him take the Tesseract (the Infinity Space Stone) and slip away from the
Avengers, we know nothing about his upcoming adventures.
Tom Hiddleston is used to keeping quiet about what Loki is up to but that’s not to say that he isn’t excited about donning the wig and green and black ensemble once again. When the announcement of the show hit the internet last year, Tom was quick to confirm his part in the series with one simple tweet, and Tom doesn’t tweet often, so this was momentous!
pic.twitter.com/4jl3dAVLqv
— Tom Hiddleston (@twhiddleston) November 9, 2018
That was
many months ago and although we are still mostly in the dark regarding show
details, some bits and pieces have emerged, including a few words from the man
playing the God of Mischief himself.
Two weeks ago at the Shanghai International Film Festival, Tom spoke about his past career, his future, and of course the future of his longest running character portrayal, Loki. He reminisced about his time as Loki after being cast in Thor back in 2011.
“It is a constant source of surprise and delight that these films have connected with people. I knew he was a complex figure. Intelligent yet vulnerable. Angry and lost and broken and witty. I thought it was an amazing opportunity and it’s grown into this network of movies. I could never have expected it. I feel very fortunate that this character has connected with people.”
Of course, the question was raised about the upcoming series and, as expected, Tom couldn’t say much:
“All I can tell you is that it is called Loki. It is a new departure … but I can’t explain why.”
This news comes a few weeks after a Disney investor’s conference in which Kevin Feige did in fact speak about the upcoming Loki series. Of course, there was no recording in this meeting, but one well-placed camera did get a photo of Feige on stage and a semi-clear shot of Loki in the setting of the show.
The title Loki shows across the screen, confirming what Tom said. The image also seems to confirm the rumored plot detail that the series would revolve around Loki’s new ability to time travel, thanks to his trusty Tesseract. Jaws first came to theaters in 1975, so the bustling city (rumored to be Manhattan) may be that of the past. You can check out the image of Loki below:
the case, at least we know that production on Loki is going full speed
ahead!
will be available to subscribers in November 2019. The tentative release date for
Loki is 2020, with
several other MCU-based series to follow revolving around Scarlet Witch,
Vision, Falcon and Winter Soldier.

Music can change the world because it can change people
May 5, 2012 | by Beth Nabi | Achtung Baby, U2 Memorabilia
A Filament Project bracelet made with a string from Bono's Gibson acoustic used during the Achtung Baby re-release sessions at Hansa Studio in 2011.
I get asked a lot if I’ve met Bono. Surely someone who’s devoted 20 years of her life and a URL to the man has met him, right? Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. I haven’t met him, haven’t touched him, haven’t smelled him, haven’t been rendered stupidly speechless by his presence. And it’s probably for the best, as I still don’t know what I’d say to the man. “Thank you” is my best guess. It’s simple, sincere, all-encompassing. But it’s the same thing I say to the pizza delivery guy and the pedicurist. The man whose voice has been in my head for a couple of decades probably warrants a little more inspiration.
But, this week I did manage to get a little closer to him thanks to The Filament Project, an organization that collects donations of guitar, bass and other musical instrument strings along with various electrical and telephone cables to create bracelets and other jewelry. U2 fandom’s EdgeFest, knower of all things The Edge, spotted and won and shared an auction on eBay for one of these guitar string bracelets. It was for a string from Edge’s Fender Stratocaster guitar, played during With or Without You at the 360 tour’s finale in Moncton (totally thought I was done saying that word) last July. I quickly clicked on “seller’s other items” and saw a listing for another bracelet — one made of a string from Bono’s acoustic Gibson guitar, used during the 2011 Hansa sessions, when U2 went back to the famous Berlin studio where they recorded 1991’s Achtung Baby. The listing included a photo of the packet of strings donated to The Filament Project, on which Dallas Schoo, U2’s beloved (by fans as much as the band) guitar tech had written, “This is a packet of used guitar strings off of Bono’s Gibson acoustic guitar from the re-release of “Auchtung Baby” [sic] in “From the Sky Down.”
[Bono’s solo performance of So Cruel with the Gibson acoustic during From the Sky Down at Hansa Studios.]
I’m not a huge spender on eBay when it comes to U2 collectibles. There’s just so much stuff. There are shirts and singles and box sets and pins and promo materials (PopMart condoms), and once you have one of the things you have to have all of the things. It’s mentally exhausting and financially debilitating. I stick to items that overlap with my interests. I’ve been involved in publication design since middle school and am now a graphic design professor trying to cheaply decorate her apartment — I focus on U2 magazine and tabloid covers, as well as any interesting advertisements. The purchases usually stay below $10. (However, the ultimate goal is to own a copy of the rare and really expensive U2-3.)
But the vision of Bono seducing those strings to the sounds of One, So Cruel, The Fly and Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses during the anniversary session at Hansa led to the resolution that I couldn’t not have the bracelet. The vision sadly dissipated, though, when I saw “The Buy It Now listing has ended.” I learned on Facebook that EdgeFest had bought a matching pair — Edge’s string for herself, Bono’s for her husband. The girl doesn’t do anything halfway. But through her, I starting following The Filament Project on Facebook and Twitter and learned that another Bono bracelet would be listed later in the week.
“Later in the week” was so ambiguous, and resulted in even more time spent on my smartphone than I’m proud to admit, obsessively refreshing eBay pages. But after a few anxious, sleepless nights, and with the goodness and grace of two of my other U2 girls (Lilah, who’d already bought one of the very limited Bono bracelets and alerted me as soon as an auction for a new one went up, and Beth, who purposely didn’t buy it because she knew I was pining for it — I’ve not yet met either in person), the bracelet was mine. It seems more than a little silly — guitar strings that get thrown away every day wrapped up in discarded telephone wire. But knowing I have circled around my wrist a guitar string on which Bono played songs from my favorite U2 album in the place they were originally recorded makes it the most stunning, most precious piece of jewelry I own. One of Bono’s recurring quotes is something along the lines of, “If I am close to the music and you are close to the music, then we are close to each other.” We don’t need physical proximity to feel connected to our favorite music and musicians. I suppose wanting the bracelet may seem a little contrary to that, but it makes me feel more connected. It’s like an oversized wedding band. I don’t need it to prove the monumental role this band’s music has had in my life, but it’s a lovely symbol of a bond that can’t be broken — an everlasting love, if you will.
Me holding Bono's guitar string while watching him play it.
The soul behind The Filament Project (on Facebook, Twitter, eBay) is Jo Adell, a fourth-generation artisan and second-generation jewelry maker. She started the project in February after enduring a series of unfortunate personal events, including a robbery the same night she attended a benefit in support of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a group that “provides assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability or age-related problems.” After the benefit, she decided to transfer the self-pity she was feeling into support for a greater cause.
Jo’s U2 is the band Moonalice, who opened for U2 at the 360 show in Oakland, Calif., on June 7, 2011. She spends a lot of time with them, and got a bag of used strings from their guitar tech, which she started turning into jewelry, mostly as gifts for other Moonalice fans. After the benefit, she started working her connections to get hold of strings that might bring in a little profit, which she could then donate to Sweet Relief. Moonalice frontman Roger McNamee is a co-founder of Elevation Partners, along with Bono, and when Jo and her Filament Project partner, Deb Grabien, told him about the project, Roger (who “has the biggest heart in the world”) called Dallas on the phone in Dublin and asked for strings. Jo and Deb have since been rounding up contributions in the San Francisco Bay area and beyond, including Richard Thompson, The New Riders of the Purple Sage/David Nelson Band, David Lindley, Heart, Ani Di Franco, Amanda Palmer and more. They’re working on contributions from Stephen King (yes, that Stephen King), the Rolling Stones, Sir Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. And if you’re interested in a Bono or Edge bracelet, keep an eye out — I think she’s got a very limited few more in the works. She’s also putting in a request for some of the bass boy’s strings.
Right now, the proceeds from the sale of the guitar string bracelets are earmarked for Robin Sylvester, bass player for Ratdog, Rubber Souldiers and other bands. He is in kidney failure and awaiting a transplant. He’s currently doing well enough that his doctors are allowing him to perform, but has been instructed to take it easy. After June 15, the proceeds will go into a general fund.
In an interview at the 1983 US Music Festival, Bono — just 23 at the time and already a head full of urgent, impassioned ideas — said, “Music can change the world, because it can change people.” I’ve made several U2-inspired purchases this week, none of which benefitted U2 — $25 went to the African Well Fund for their 10th annual Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday Fundraiser; $15 went to Every Mother Counts when I picked up the organization’s special release CD at Starbucks, featuring an unreleased acoustic version of Original of the Species; and an amount that a sane girl might spend on a Tiffany bauble — but Tiffany doesn’t sell anything this magnificent — went to this bracelet, 40 percent of which will go to Sweet Relief. I’m doing nothing noble — just selfishly waving my credit card to feel a little closer to my band. But these people and these organizations are doing extraordinary things — changing the world through music. My thanks go to all involved for giving us fans a way to connect with the music even when it’s not playing, and to connect with causes bigger than ourselves.
(I do find it pretty humorous, though, that Bono’s strings go for more than guitar-god Edge’s on eBay. In U2 By U2, the other band members never tire of mentioning what a crap guitar player Bono was. According to Larry:
“It was obvious from the beginning that Bono was going to be the singer, not because of his great voice but because he didn’t have a guitar, an amp or transport, what else was he going to do? He had delusions that maybe he was a guitarist but without the equipment it wasn’t possible. He could strum a guitar but he was no guitar player and it could be argued that he’s still no guitar player.”
Even Bono has gone in on the ribbing: “I want to play the guitar very badly. And I do play the guitar very badly.”)

So thrilled that these strings so far all have happy homes… I personally know each person that bought one (with the exception of Lilah). Next tour I imagine a photo or two where we start to put those guitars back together. <3
Beth Nabi
We absolutely must re-string the guitars next tour! So thrilled you found out about all of this, Lori-Jo.
Jo Qatana Adell
Wow, Beth, what a beautiful testament! I shall share this far and wide! Would like to make use of this space to say thank you to my partner Deb Grabien. In LOLcat speak it breaks down to ” I duz teh makings, Deb duz teh talkingz”. Deb is Our Director of Outreach and Acquisition, she literally pulls the strings of her many many connections in the music world, and without Deb’s tireless assistance, and our beloved Roger McNamee, I would not be able to do this project.
Deb has 17 novels published, you should really check out her Rock & Roll Mystery Series the Kinkaid Chronicles, written by a woman who Has been There!Find Deb at http://www.deborahgrabien.com. Also, check out Moonalice at http://www.moonalice.com. (If you attended the 360 show at Oakland Coliseum, Moonalice was the opening act)
Who knew that one of the best results of this project is the joy I’ve felt from each of you who is now wearing a U2 string! I want more of this, I want to be able to touch every music fan the way I got to touch you. And I’m cryin. Again.
Cherie Moore
Wow, Beth.
Thank you for saying these things about a Dear Dear Friend of mine. I’m crying with happiness for Jo!
(PS: my husband has been collaborating on the logo)
Yes, our beautiful new logo is the result of much feedback from many people, Cherie’s husband Rupert did the original graphic, Deb’s husband Nic embellished it and added the colour.
Thanks for all you’re doing, Jo. I’ll update the post with some of this info. Wishing you much continued success with this project. So happy to be a little part of it.
You, you guys, are a huge part of it! You are the people who proved to me that this thing can be done, that it IS being done.So grateful for you!
Deborah Grabien
Beth – that’s a marvellous blog piece, and I want to ask if you’d mind if I included the link to it in my thank-you letter to Dallas Schoo? Since this is an ongoing project, with hopefully longterm and far-reaching positive help for musicians in need as a result, I would love to be able to point to a piece like yours as proof positive of what we can do with a jeweller’s skill and dedication, and guitar strings that would just go into the recycling bin anyway.
By the way, as a guitar player, I completely understand and agree about strings from Bono going for more money than Edge’s. Honestly, it’s purely a matter of quantity and availability: Edge being the guitarist, he plays more, has more guitars, and consequently changes strings more often. Bono, whose main instrument is his voice, is going to be a source of far fewer strings. The rarer the product, the higher the demand, and the higher the demand, the more they’re going to cost.
Please do let me know if I can link to this in my letter to Dallas. And as it happens, the members of U2 I’ve met (in summer 1986, at the kickoff party for Amnesty International’s Conspiracy of Hope Tour, here in San Francisco) were absolute sweethearts. Making their strings available for this wonderful project just confirms what I already knew: nice, nice guys!
Thank you so much, Deb. I wouldn’t mind a bit if you shared this in your thank-you note. I’ll update the post to include some of the information Jo mentioned above, including a little more about you, if that’s OK.
Makes sense about the guitar strings being more for Bono since they’re rarer. I just thought it was humorous that the guitar god’s strings are going for less than the “novice.” But anything that has enabled Bono and U2 to make music is priceless to me.
Looking forward to watching the project pick up and bring more people the thrill it’s brought me. Thank you guys for what you’re doing.
Perfect! And yes, feel free to include any information about me you’d like. I’ve also got a wiki page, if anything in there takes your fancy.
I’ve just put the letter to Dallas in its envelope (this is a proper letter, not an email, and it’s off to Dublin). Both this blog and Twist of Fate are given as livelinks, as part of my thanks for what tremendous impact this project (thanks to Dallas) is having.
So happy to hear you’re passing along our excitement and gratitude to Dallas. Part of why U2 fans love the band so much is their loyalty to each other, and to crew members like him who have been around since the beginning, practically. It’s fun to see more Filament Project auctions up on eBay — awful hard not to bid!
Twist Of Fate » Don't Travel By Train
I'm Beth, he's Bono.
Bono and Beth.
I discovered U2 when I was 13, shortly after Achtung Baby was born, and they've been my musical soul mate ever since. They're just a way of life for me, their lyrics a frame of reference. Spending my 30s blogging about a rock star sounds a little ridiculous, but the right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear. Come with me for the ride.

Japanese Business: Keeping it in the Family
Andrew Carnegie, a 19th-century tycoon, famously said that inherited wealth “deadens talents and energies”—one reason why he gave most of his fortune to charity. Business research tends to support the Carnegie thesis. Companies controlled by heirs often underperform competitors that have professional managers. Except, apparently, in Japan.
A forthcoming paper* in the Journal of Financial Economics finds not only that inherited family control is still common in Japanese business, but that family firms are “puzzlingly competitive”, outperforming otherwise similar professionally managed companies. “These results are highly robust and…suggest family control ‘causes’ good performance rather than the converse,” say the authors.
Japan boasts some of the world’s oldest family-run businesses, and many family firms—Suzuki, Matsui Securities, Suntory—break the rule of steady dynastic decline. So how do Japanese firms do it? The answer, says the paper, is adoption.

Japans Hitachi in Deal with Britain for High-speed Rail Project
Japans Hitachi will supply nearly 600 train carriages for Britains inter-city high-speed rail project in a deal worth £4.5 billion, the company and the British government said Wednesday.The giant conglomerate won the project along with British partner John Laing in 2009 but negotiations had been delayed after a change of government in Britain.The firms will supply 92 complete trains — comprised of 596 carriages — to replace the ageing fleet on Britains inter-city rail networks, with Hitachi holding a 70-percent stake in the consortium while John Laing has 30 percent.

TonenGeneral to Buy Exxon’s Exit of Japan for $3.9 Billion
TonenGeneral Sekiyu KK agreed to buy partner Exxon Mobil Corp.’s Japanese business in a $3.9 billion deal that may force the oil refiner to seek new alliances.
TonenGeneral will acquire 99 percent of Exxon Mobil Yugen Kaisha, which produces and sells fuels, using cash and bank loans, the Tokyo-based company said yesterday.Refiners in Japan are grappling with rising operating costs after a 2010 order from the government to upgrade their oldest plants to extract more fuel from crude. While Japan’s consumption is declining due to a shrinking population and greater use of hybrid and electric autos, the transaction also reflects Exxon Mobil Chief Executive Officer Rex Tillerson’s strategy of focusing on oil exploration.
“TonenGeneral will struggle to recover their acquisition costs unless they find a strategic partner,” said Osamu Fujisawa, an independent energy economist in Tokyo.
“There are no Japanese refiners that can partner with Tonen. So, it should be someone from the Middle East.”

Japan Loves Innovation, but Entrepreneurship? – These start-ups may surprise you
Japan is mad about innovation. From tech gadgets to inventively designed products, it is a place hungry for cutting-edge. Why then are there so few entrepreneurs? Culture, many say, is to blame. With an aversion to standout much less fail, the Japanese spurn start-ups. But what culture doesn’t hate losing?
The better answer is Japan’s complicated bureaucracy and regulation that makes it difficult to launch and raise capital for an enterprise. According to the World Bank’s Doing Business index, Japan ranks 107 out of 183 countries for ease of starting a business. Venture capital is scarce.
Both are inadequate responses for true entrepreneurs. That’s at least what I witnessed tonight when all of Tokyo’s start-up stars came out for an awards fete hosted by U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos. Ambassador Roos has promoted, more than any other American chief of mission, entrepreneurship, encouraging Japanese innovators to “aim global.”

Japan Nuclear Companies Stacked Public Meetings
An independent investigation in Japan has revealed a long history of nuclear power companies conspiring with governments to manipulate public opinion in favour of nuclear energy.
One nuclear company even stacked public meetings with its own employees who posed as ordinary citizens to speak in support of nuclear power plants.
"The number one reactor has been operating for 30 years and I’ve never had a problem selling my rice or vegetables because of fears of radiation," a man posing as a farmer told a gathering of citizens discussing a proposal to use plutonium fuel at the Genkai nuclear plant on the southern island of Kyushu.

Citigroup Being Investigated in Japan by Financial Regulators
Citigroup is being investigated by Japanese regulators for possible infractions related to its marketing of financial products and could face its third major punishment in Japan in 7 years, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is probing whether Citigroup failed to offer sufficient explanations to customers about investment trusts, which are similar to mutual funds in the U.S., and other financial products, the source said.
The regulator is also looking at whether controls against money laundering were sufficient, following punitive action in recent years for lax oversight in that area, the source said.

Tokyo, Okinawa usher in antigang legislation
Local ordinances prohibiting companies from trading with organized crime syndicates will be put into force Saturday in Tokyo and Okinawa with the expectation of stopping their cash flow funds and eventually putting the mob out of business.
Some legal experts welcome the moves by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Okinawa Prefectural Government, but they also urge local police to properly disclose to the general public detailed information about gangs so they can avoid trading with them and provide concrete examples of cases being banned by the new ordinances.
Tokyo and Okinawa are the last prefectures to enforce such measures against underworld syndicates.

Fear for jobs ignites ‘English crisis’ in Japan
It’s eight in the morning in a Tokyo office building, and a dozen middle-aged Japanese businessmen sit inside small booths, sweating as they try to talk English to the instructors in front of them.
"I hope my wife will understand my hobby," one 40-something man says, opening his mouth widely around the English words.
He is one of legions of Japanese businessmen, or "salarymen," struggling with a language they thought they had left behind them in school as fears mount that the growing push by Japanese companies into overseas business will mean a dark future for them without usable English.

Japan takes Canada to WTO over renewable energy rules
Japan asked the World Trade Organization on Wednesday to form a legal panel to decide whether Canadian provincial backing for solar and wind energy projects gives an unfair advantage to domestic equipment makers.
Japan has given up direct attempts to resolve a spat over an Ontario scheme that guarantees prices for renewable energy as long as it is generated with Canadian-made equipment, Japan’s ambassador to the WTO said in a letter to the chairman of the WTO’s disputes division.
"Consultations failed to resolve the dispute. As a result, Japan respectfully requests that a panel be established to examine this matter," Ambassador Yoichi Otabe wrote.

M&A: Sony Leads Japan Inc. Eyeing Deals With $2.4 Trillion
After hoarding $2.4 trillion in cash, corporate Japan is pursuing overseas takeovers like never before to boost returns. Sony Corp. and Fujifilm Holdings Corp. are among the companies with the biggest incentive to chase deals.
More than $25 billion of cross-border acquisitions have been struck by Japanese companies this year, on pace to exceed the record amount of deals announced in 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The buying spree comes as Japan’s currency climbed to its highest level since World War II versus the dollar and the world’s third-largest economy fell into its third recession in a decade after being rocked by the nation’s biggest earthquake on record.
Japanese companies are using their buying power on foreign takeovers after slumping demand at home destroyed almost half their equity value in the past five years.

LG mocks Samsung’s Galaxy S6 edge ‘bendgate’
April 6th, 2015, 20:30 by Vlad 115 comments
Samsung may have put out an official rebuttal video for the Galaxy S6 edge ‘bendgate’ problem earlier today, but LG still found it fitting to mock its Korean competitor. A few hours ago, LG’s arm in Jordan tweeted the picture you can see below, accompanied by the following text: “Some curves just make sense. #bendgate”.
So it’s pretty clear that the Galaxy S6 edge is the target of this attack, based on the bend test report published by Square Trade last week. Read more »
Vine for Windows Phone gets updated with new features
April 3rd, 2015, 21:03 by Vlad 14 comments
Vine’s official app for Windows Phone 8.1 has received a pretty big update today, which brings it a few new features. First off, you can now import videos from your camera, just by tapping the new icon in the bottom left corner.
You are also able to edit your Vine, rearranging clips or getting rid of those you don’t need. Drafts can be saved too, so later you may pick up from where you left off. Read more »
Microsoft launches Office Lens for iPhone along with preview version for Android
April 2nd, 2015, 20:30 by Vlad 43 comments
Today Microsoft has brought its pretty successful Office Lens app from Windows Phone to iOS and Android. Office Lens was initially introduced for the company’s own mobile platform more than a year ago, and Microsoft says it’s now one of the most popular free apps for Windows Phone.
The concept behind it is simple. Office Lens allows you to capture a lot of different things with your smartphone’s camera, then automatically crops and enhances the images and saves them to OneNote or OneDrive. And thanks to optical character recognition, the text inside your captures becomes searchable. The app can even convert images of paper documents into Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, or PDFs for easy editing. Read more »
Skype for Android and iOS gets updated, Skype Qik too
April 2nd, 2015, 19:20 by Vlad 4 comments
Today Skype has announced updates for both its main app as well as Skype Qik. Skype itself has been renewed for both Android and iOS, but the former platform gets more new features.
For example, Skype 5.3 for Android gives you a new bubble-style chat layout, similar to the one already employed in the iOS and desktop apps. It also receives support for emoji, so you can express yourself better. Read more »
Google News & Weather for Android gets breaking news notifications and recommendations
April 1st, 2015, 21:15 by Vlad 20 comments
Today Google has launched the latest update to the oft-forgotten News & Weather app for Android. This started life as little more than a widget built into Android, but then got released in the Play Store last year. Since that point, it’s received quite a few big updates, this latest one probably among the biggest yet.
This app is slowly but surely growing up into an interesting source for news, though Google has another app for that purpose – Play Newsstand. Read more »
Moto X is $140 cheaper for one day only
It might be April Fools’ Day today, but this is no joke. Motorola has decided to run another price-cutting promo for the Moto X on this occasion, and you’re now able to save $140 if you purchase the device.
It normally starts at $499.99, but if you order one now it will start at $359.99. Obviously we’re talking about buying the Moto X off-contract, as the promo sadly isn’t valid if you get it with a long-term carrier agreement. Read more »
Alcatel OneTouch Watch goes up for pre-order, yours for $149.99
March 31st, 2015, 20:30 by Vlad 33 comments
Today Alcatel has officially started US pre-orders for its first smartwatch, the aptly named OneTouch Watch. The wearable was announced earlier this year, and it’s very affordably priced at $149.99.
That’s a far cry from the Apple Watch, for example, but don’t forget that this doesn’t run Android Wear, Google’s platform for smartwatches. Instead, Alcatel chose to develop its own solution, one that is thankfully compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. Read more »
Microsoft intros Surface 3 tablet starting at $499, running ‘full’ Windows 8.1
March 31st, 2015, 19:27 by Vlad 159 comments
The Surface Pro 3 has been out for a while now, but it’s quite expensive for the mass-market. So Microsoft decided to unveil the Surface 3 tablet today (sans the “Pro”). This is basically the successor to the Windows RT-powered original Surface and Surface 2, but it no longer runs that little-used iteration of the OS – and it no longer sports an ARM processor.
This time, Microsoft is pairing an Intel Atom x7 with ‘full’ Windows 8.1 (upgradeable for free to Windows 10 when that launches), so the Surface 3 will run any Windows app you throw at it – including the full version of Office, of course. That rectifies what were probably the biggest downsides to the RT-powered Surface tablets of the past. Read more »
Your Google+ photos now show up in Google Drive
March 30th, 2015, 22:55 by Vlad 9 comments
While not relaunched as a separate service (or at least not yet), as has been rumored for a long time now, Google+ Photos has received some neat integration with Google Drive today. In short, your Google+ Photos will now show up in a dedicated place in Google Drive.
A new menu for Photos should show up in Google Drive on iOS, Android, and the Web, as seen in the image above. Read more »
Gmail for Android update enables unified “All inboxes” view, smarter search
March 30th, 2015, 21:34 by Vlad 18 comments
Today Google has announced a new update for its Gmail app for Android. This is supposedly already rolling out, so watch out for the new version (but keep in mind it might be a few days before it reaches you). The new Gmail for Android comes with a few new features, the most important of which is the addition of an “All inboxes” view.
As its moniker implies, this will show you all the email from all your accounts, in a unified view. This will clearly benefit those who have and routinely use multiple email accounts in the Gmail app. Just to clarify, the app did have multiple account support before today, but it did not boast the unified inbox view.

Windows Phone already has an unofficial Periscope app
Just yesterday Twitter launched its entrant into the rapidly growing live video streaming app space. It’s called Periscope, and for now it’s only available for iOS. Twitter did promise an Android version, but remained absolutely mum when it comes to Windows Phone.
Not to worry, though, for there is already an unofficial alternative for Microsoft’s mobile platform. Telescope for Periscope has been created by a developer who was eager to use Twitter’s new service on Windows Phone. Read more »
HTC’s first TV ad for the One M9 in the UK reveals that you only have one life
Now that the One M9 is up for order in the US, HTC decided it would be fit for it to start its marketing campaign for the handset in the UK. Hence, the Taiwanese smartphone maker has released its first TV ad for the One M9 in the UK.
You can see it in its entirety after the break, but let’s just say it focuses on a pretty easy play on the phone’s name. You only have “One” life, get it? Read more »
Vine ups video quality to 720p HD
Better late than never, as they say – Twitter’s Vine has finally entered the HD age. The service, which lets you create six-second videos that run in a loop, has just announced plans to upgrade the quality of its recordings. Believe it or not, Vine videos have so far been 480p.
Not anymore, though. Expect to see 720p HD videos on Vine (both through the service’s mobile apps for iOS and Android, as well as embeds on websites) “over the coming days”. Above you can see an image that should apparently give you an idea about the quality differences, since it shows the same Vine in 480p on the left and 720p on the right. Read more »
Pebble Time crosses $20 million raised with just a few hours left
Pebble’s Kickstarter campaign for its Time smartwatch with color e-paper screen quickly became the most funded in history at the beginning of this month. And now, the company has already crossed the $20 million mark of raised funds, with just a few hours to go.
At the time of writing, exactly $20,235,088 has been pledged for the Pebble Time by more than 78,000 eager backers on the crowdfunding site. This comes after the $14 million mark was reached in only one week. Read more »
Twitter launches Periscope live video streaming app for iOS
Today Twitter has officially outed its competitor for media darling Meerkat, a live video streaming app that’s gotten a lot of coverage recently. Twitter’s version of this is called Periscope, and is now available for iOS. An Android app is reportedly in the works, but no launch timeline has been given.
Like Meerkat, Periscope is a live video streaming app that’s easy to use. When you start broadcasting, your followers will immediately be notified, and they can comment and send you ‘hearts’ in real-time (these seem to be Periscope’s version of Facebook’s Likes). Read more »

Turing: Another Take on Algorithm and Python Development
View: 283 Dowload: 0 Comment: 0 Post by: admin Category: Development Tools Fields: Other
A cross-platform algorithm/pseudocode and Python development environment with debugging features
Latest release (Windows and Linux binaries)
Turing is quite basic but a powerful IDE written in Python that allows quick and easy development of algorithms and Python scripts.
I live in France. Here, programming has been taught in schools at high school level for a few years already; although it's not the kind of programming people usually learn. Teachers don't teach code, instead we only do what could fit under the name "algorithm". Basically, we learn the theory, how the program flow works, what variables are, what recursion is, etc. Here, you only start doing "real" code in college.
Since we don't do "real" code but instead do this weird pseudocode-like algorithm thingy, we needed a software for that, because theory ain't moving mountains. That's what happened when a few years ago, a French math teacher wrote the software Algobox (clever portemanteau amirite). Since it could do what everyone wanted to do, and since it was really the only available software at the time, it quickly became the reference and you see screenshots of it everywhere in math textbooks.
It's nice. You can do basic stuff, it's funny and all, but it's quite limited. Until very recently, you couldn't create functions, and it doesn't provide any real debugging features apart from a basic step-by-step feature that doesn't show you where in the program you are.
Last year, people at the top decided it'd be good to start teaching kids Python, 'cause it really whips the llama's ass. Standard pseudocode will still be taught, but now kids will do Python too.
Almost all available Python IDEs were made with the idea in mind that they would be used by programmers. We're talking about 14-years old kids whose main use of computers is YouTube. The GUIs of those IDEs were made for people that know what they're doing, which is clearly not the case here.
That's where the idea for Turing came from. Make a new IDE, with support for both pseudocode and Python, that could be used even by beginners.
Okay, That's Nice and All But What Does It Look Like?
As Aristotle said, "A screenshot is worth a thousand words."
More screenshots here (new window).
The program can work in two modes: algorithm/pseudocode and Python. Both modes can use Turing's function library, I/O functions and plot window.
We originally planned to use Python for the pseudocode expressions, but we concluded it would be easier for beginner to write a new, simpler syntax, thus we wrote our own in-house expression engine, with its own recursive parser and function library. Its syntax is quite similar to Python's, except for a few minor differences:
The ^ operator is used for exponentiation (the XOR operator is used for XOR instead).
Complex numbers use the traditional mathematical syntax (i is used instead of j).
There is only one number type (instead of separate int, float and complex).
Products can be done without explicitly using the * operator (example: 2pi, 3x^2).
Lambda functions can be used using the notation {x, y}(x ^ 2 + y * 3} and are first-class objects as in Python.
In pseudocode mode, it is possible to use breakpoints and to run the program in step-by-step mode.
In Python mode, step-by-step is not available yet and only breakpoints can be used.
There are two buttons to run a pseudocode program: Run and Debug. The first button converts the lines to Python code and transparently runs it as Python for better performance. The second button runs it line by line transparently. Generally, the Run button can be used except if you need to debug the program with the step-by-step mode.
The main GUI uses the PyQt 5 framework and the Pyqode widget for the code editor.
The math library uses NumPy for a few functions.
The plot window uses Matplotlib.

Eddie The Eagle has a new poster
Posted 3 years ago January 31, 2016
It’s not that long before Eddie the Eagle flies into UK cinemas. With that, we have the brand new poster for the film.
It shows the rigorous training that Eddie went through. A somewhat non-orthodox way as well.
Eddie the Eagle follows the realisation of the childhood dream of Michael Edwards (a.k.a Eddie), and his unflinching determination to become Great Britain’s first Olympic ski-jumper. Reluctantly aided by former ski-jumper Bronson Peary as his coach, Eddie is unwavering in his quest to reach the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. Eddie the Eagle is an uplifting, inspirational story that celebrates human spirit, passion, and one man’s refusal to accept defeat.
Crashing into UK cinemas April 1, 2016

Home > Books > Stolen
Her mind tells her to run. Her body begs her to stay. Her heart must make the choice.
After months spent eluding the djinn who’s been tracking her, Leila Donovan is cornered. With nowhere left to run, she braces herself to be picked off just like the rest of her companions who survived the Heat, a djinn-inflicted virus meant to wipe out mankind.
Instead, her dark-haired, night-eyed captor bestows a fiery, bone-melting kiss — and whisks her away to an opulent beach house in Malibu.
Unknown to Leila, Malik al-Mazin has been protecting her. From the Heat, from the assassins pursuing its survivors, and, most of all, from the predations of Omar al-Tariq, a sadistic djinn who revels in inflicting pain.
Once Leila comes to accept Malik as her Chosen, she will be safe. But despite their riptide-strong sexual chemistry, easing her into trust will take precious time, especially since she has the unusual ability to resist any attempt to magically influence her mind — a gift that may be her only hope when Malik is tricked into turning his back for one crucial moment….
“The story is excellent, keeping the tempo high and engrossing. You are drawn into these characters, having it feel very real with many twists to relationships. The storyline promises an intriguing journey holding your attention throughout. Stolen does not disappoint…it is well written, insightful, and full of surprises.”—Amazon reviewer

Assessing learning in physical science
SC 130 Physical Science proposes to serve two institutional learning outcomes (ILO) through four general education program learning outcomes (GE PLO) addressed by four course level student learning outcomes (CLO). Not listed are proposed specific student learning outcomes that in turn serve the course level learning outcomes. This report assesses learning under the proposed course level learning outcomes which in turn supports program and institutional learning outcomes.
ILO 8. Quantitative Reasoning: ability to reason and solve quantitative problems from a wide array of authentic contexts and everyday life situations; comprehends and can create sophisticated arguments supported by quantitative evidence and can clearly communicate those arguments in a variety of formats.
GE PLO
SC 130 CLO
3.5 Perform experiments that use scientific methods as part of the inquiry process. 1. Explore physical science systems through experimentally based laboratories using scientific methodologies
3.4 Define and explain scientific concepts, principles, and theories of a field of science. 2. Define and explain concepts, theories, and laws in physical science.
3.2 Present and interpret numeric information in graphic forms. 3. Generate mathematical models for physical science systems and use appropriate mathematical techniques and concepts to obtain quantitative solutions to problems in physical science.
ILO 2. Effective written communication: development and expression of ideas in writing through work in many genres and styles, utilizing different writing technologies, and mixing texts, data, and images through iterative experiences across the curriculum.
1.1 Write a clear, well-organized paper using documentation and quantitative tools when appropriate. 4. Demonstrate basic communication skills by working in groups on laboratory experiments and by writing up the result of experiments, including thoughtful discussion and interpretation of data, in a formal format using spreadsheet and word processing software.
CLO 1
Explore physical science systems through experimentally based laboratories using scientific methodologies
Laboratory fourteen in the penultimate week of the term provided a vehicle for assessing this course level outcome. The students were given a system to explore and two questions to answer. The students were provided with string and weight pendulums and asked to determine the relationship between the length and the period. The class started in the classroom working with lengths from 25 cm to 150 cm.
Using the gathered data and spreadsheets, the students fit linear regressions to the data. Over the lengths involved the non-linearity of the data is not apparent. The students then used their linear regressions to predict the period for a 700 cm pendulum.
After posting predictions on the board, the class walked down to the gym where a 700 cm pendulum can be swung. The predictions were up around 10 seconds, but the actual period was around 5 seconds (4.85 seconds and 5.38 seconds were the recorded values). The data did not fit the model. The students were then instructed to write up the laboratory taking into account the errant prediction.
The laboratory reports were assessed to determine whether students properly recorded data in a labeled table, generated an xy scatter graph, added a regression equation to their data, made a determination as to the non-linear nature of the relationship, and then discussed their analysis and results in a reasonably meaningful manner.
Student performance was assessed using a simple binary rubric based on the metrics noted above. Ten of the fourteen students completed this term end laboratory.
The ten students demonstrated mastery the core mechanics of the laboratory report style used in SC 130 Physical Science. The students gathered data and reported results in a properly formatted and labeled table. The students used spreadsheet software to generate xy scatter graphs also properly formatted and labeled. All of the students added a trend line to the graph, but only seven specifically discussed their choice of mathematical relationship. All ten students chose a linear regression. Only a single student noted that the data was "not really linear." That one student went on to note that there existed the possibility of the "math model used being wrong."
During the fall and spring terms, laboratory submission rates tend to fall as the term progresses. This summer saw no fall off in laboratory submission rates. One student simply failed to complete laboratories in the later half of the term, but the remaining thirteen consistently turned in laboratories after midterm with the only exception being the last laboratory. Being at the end of the term, the final laboratory (laboratory fourteen) had a narrower window for submission.
Summer term is short and intense. Only two students were taking classes other than physical science, thus this was the only course for the majority of the students. These factors may have contributed to the turn-in rate remaining high during the summer session.
2. Define and explain concepts, theories, and laws in physical science.
Twenty-nine items on the 66 item final examination asked students to define and explain concepts, theories, and laws in physical science. The average for fourteen students on these 29 items was 80%. This is significantly higher than the 61% success rate seen in the spring and the 54% success rate fall 2014. The strong performance is also likely a unique effect of the brevity and intensity of the summer term.
3. Generate mathematical models for physical science systems and use appropriate mathematical techniques and concepts to obtain quantitative solutions to problems in physical science.
While the laboratory fourteen assessment above provides some data on this course learning outcome, this outcome supports the general education program learning outcome "3.2 Present and interpret numeric information in graphic forms." With this focus in mind, a pretest and post-test was included in the course. The post-test was embedded in the final examination.
Student performance on the pretest can only be characterized as abysmal.
Nine of the fourteen students completed a 100 or higher level college mathematics course prior to enrolling in the SC 130. The mathematics background for five of the students was not determined. Given that background the general inability of the students to calculate linear slopes and intercepts is disappointing. The only skill the students consistently appear to bring into physical science is the ability to plot points on an xy scattergraph.
SC 130 Physical Science includes a focus on the mathematical models that underlie physical science systems. Laboratories one, two, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, and twelve have linear relationships. A number of assignments in the course also have linear relationships. The students also encounter a quadratic relationship in laboratory three. A plot of height versus velocity generates a power relationship, specifically a square root relationship. By the end of the course students have repeatedly worked with linear relations.One relationship at a time, not "problems one to thirty even problems only." Every equation is built from data that the students have gathered. From the concrete to the abstract, repeated throughout the term, providing cognitive hooks on which to "hang" their mathematical learning.
By term end, the students who were present on the day of the pretest had all improved significantly as measured by the post-test. Note that ten students sat the preassessment, fourteen completed the post-assessment, hence the use of percentage success rate in the following chart.
In the chart above, the left end of the line marks the percent of students answering an item correctly on the pretest, the right end the percent answering correctly on the post-test. Note that items such as the slope and y-intercept assessment improved on the first two items even though the problems were made more difficult by a non-zero y-intercept on the post-test.
With eleven items on the pre-test and post-test, scores for students could range from zero to eleven. The median score on the pre-test was one, on the post-test items was eight. The rise in the mean score was from 1.43 to 7.5. The score distributions as box plots provide some insight into the lift in scores from the pretest to the post-test. Note that ten students sat the pre-assessment and fourteen sat the post-assessment.
The post-test does not answer whether there will be long term student retention of the ability to present and interpret numeric information in graphic forms. The course has had, at least in the short run, a strong positive impact on the students' ability to work with numeric information in graphical forms.
4. Demonstrate basic communication skills by working in groups on laboratory experiments and by writing up the result of experiments, including thoughtful discussion and interpretation of data, in a formal format using spreadsheet and word processing software.
Course level learning outcome four focuses on communication, specifically writing. In the late 1990s assessment data suggested some students were graduating with limited writing communication skills. As noted by the languages and literature division at that time, two college level writing courses in the general education core cannot by themselves produce collegiate level writers. Writing must occur across the curriculum, across disciplines. In 2007 SC 130 Physical Science at the national campus was redesigned to put an emphasis on writing. A "fill-in the blank" cook book style laboratory manual was replaced by laboratories which led to laboratory reports constructed using spreadsheet and word processing software.
By the end of the term students could produce a laboratory report with tables and charts integrated from a spreadsheet package. The students could produce reports that included the use of quantitative tools.
As reported above, student ability to include thoughtful discussion and interpretation of data supported by their quantitative evidence was not accomplished by all students as measured by laboratory fourteen. In fact only one student questioned the whether the data was linear (the data was not linear).
Producing sophisticated scientific arguments was a bridge too far for a number of students. The analysis of laboratory fourteen suggested that only three of fourteen students (21%) could engage in a meaningful discussion of their data. Spring 2015 seven of eighteen students (39%) showed an ability to reasonably and meaningfully discuss their results. The compressed summer term may leave less time for reflection, contemplation, and insight.
Inherent in supporting institutional learning outcome two, which course learning outcome four serves, is proper mechanics. Physcial Science laboratory report marking rubrics at the national campus include evaluation of four broad metrics: syntax (grammar), vocabulary and spelling, organization, cohesion and coherence. Each of these four metrics is measured on a five point scale yielding a total possible of twenty points. In general, students enter the course with writing skills. Errors of tense and agreement tend to mirror areas in students' first language that do not have similar tense or agreement structures. All students in the class are working in English as a second language.
In general there is no significant change in mechanics measurable from laboratory one to laboratory fourteen. The sample size is small and the change in individual scores is also small. Measured across all four metrics, the median score went unchanged. On the first laboratory the median was the maximum possible of 20 points, the median at term end was 20 (n = 10). The students in the class generally had basic grammar skills when they arrived in the class. Over the duration of the summer only two students had frequent grammar and syntax issues.
The mean score at term start was 17.57 out of 20, at term end the mean score was 19.5. The course may be more beneficial to the weakest writers.
Considering the four course level outcomes, there are areas where improvement can be sought. A challenging area for improving performance would be in the students ability to engage in more sophisticated discussions of their experimental results. The students do not have a rich and varied background in science, and the course is serving principally non-science majors.
The course also has the intent to communicate affective domain messages to the students. One is the idea that doing science is fun, the other is that the students can do science. Science is not a subject in which the students have all experienced success. This term these impacts were not measured, these are subtle and difficult to quantify.
Over the years, however, students will at times comment on an image posted by a student from the class. The comments are always positive, of the nature that the course was interesting and fun. Learning happens only where there is motivation to learn, and when an activity is enjoyable, a learner will engage more fully with that activity.
Physics, mathematics, and fun are three words that do not often co-exist in a single sentence, a single class, or in the mind of a student. Yet they should. The mathematical nature of the world is fascinating and fun. My hope is that those three words can now co-exist in the minds of the physical science students.

Box and whisker plots in Google Sheets
And then everything changed. For the first time since the loss of Gnumeric a spreadsheet was displaying a box and whisker plot. To back up to the beginning, MS 150 Statistics was built around spreadsheets. Students in the course were not statistics majors and the overwhelming majority were not in a scientific field. Most would wind up working on office desktops for which they would not be an administrator. Downloading R would not be an option and R would be steep learning curve for some for whom computers are an unfamiliar technology.
Spreadsheet based statistics, for all the faults and potential for error, would be at the center of the course. The use of Ubuntu in the classroom meant using LibreOffice.org or Gnumeric. Gnumeric provided the capability of including box and whisker plots. A change in computer laboratory technology to Microsoft Windows five years later saw the use of Gnumeric on Windows - until Gnumeric stopped supporting Windows. A further change of my work top to OSX f…
Creating histograms with Google Sheets
My approach to creating histograms for the past sixteen years has been to have the students determine the minimum, the maximum, calculate the range, divide the range by the number of intended classes to find the width, and calculate the class upper limits. The class upper limits then permit the use of the FREQUENCY function in spreadsheets such as Excel, LibreOffice.org, OpenOffice.org, Google Sheets and Gnumeric. While in Excel and LibreOffice.org the existence of a gap width or spacing setting allows the columns to touch, Google Docs did not provide this option, hence the chart seen below.
The data is from an exercise in which the students weighed packs of MMs.
This past week, however, a student noted that Google Docs now has a Histogram chart type as a chart type. One pre-selects the raw data and chooses the Histogram chart type. The sheet used in the illustrations below can be seen on line.
Note that by default Google Sheets chooses the minimum, the maximum, and the number of clas…
Traditional food dishes of Micronesia
Clara, Jennette, and Joanie presented ground hard taro cooked in an umw, effectively a hot rock oven.
Pohnpeian: rotama. Pingelapese: sero. Mwoakillese: rodma. Mortlockese: Amahd. Kosrae: rodoma. After cooking in an umw the rotama is pounded with the petiole of a palm frond.
Rotama is made from hard or swamp taro, known as mwahng on Pohnpei, mweian on Pingalap, pula in Mortlockese, and pahsruhk on Kosrae.
In traditional times on the outer islands the women had primary responsibility for tending the taro while the men handled fishing and climbing tasks.
Joesen and Noeleen presented fermented breadfruit from the outer islands of Yap such as Woleai and Eauripik. The raw ingredients were actually brought in from Yap, Noeleen prepared the maare.

Imperial Japan[edit]
Main article: Unit 731 § Rape and forced pregnancy
Female prisoners of Unit 731 were forced to become pregnant for use in experiments.
Bride kidnapping[edit]
Main articles: Bride kidnapping and Forced marriage
The practices of bride kidnapping and forced marriage typically (with the exception of purely symbolic "bride kidnappings" which are actually consensual elopements) involve the rape of the "bride" with the intention of forcing her to become pregnant, putting her in a position where she becomes dependent on the rapist and his family and, because of cultural attitudes toward rape, unable to return to her own family.
Slave breeding in the United States[edit]
Main article: Slave breeding in the United States
During the period of slavery in the United States, many slave owners attempted to influence the reproduction of slaves in order to increase the wealth of slaveholders.[1]
Slave breeding included coerced sexual relations between male and female slaves, promoting pregnancies of slaves, sexual relations between master and slave with the aim of producing slave children, and favoring female slaves who produced a relatively large number of children.[1]
The purpose of slave breeding was to produce new slaves without incurring the cost of purchase, to fill labor shortages caused by the termination of the Atlantic slave trade, and to attempt to improve the health and productivity of slaves. Slave breeding was condoned in the South because slaves were considered to be subhuman chattels, and were not entitled to the same rights accorded to free persons.
As a means of genocide[edit]
Main article: Genocidal rape
Rape, sexual slavery, and related actions including forced pregnancy and sexual slavery, are now recognized under the Geneva Convention as crimes against humanity and war crimes;[2] in particular from 1949, Article 27 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and later also the 1977 Additional Protocols to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, explicitly prohibit wartime rape and enforced prostitution. The Rome Statute Explanatory Memorandum, which defines the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, recognises rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, and forced pregnancy as crimes against humanity if part of a widespread or systematic practice.[3][4]
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda identified rape as capable of amounting to genocide when used systematically or on a mass scale to destroy a people; later the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia also categorized rape as capable of being a crime against humanity. In 2008 the U.N. Security Council's resolution 1820 identified such acts as capable of being "war crimes, crimes against humanity or ... genocide".[5] Despite these measures, rape, whether systematic or otherwise, remains widespread in conflict zones.

Countdown To LGD’s Mass-Production Of Smartphone Displays
LG Display is mass-producing foldable display products. It decided to supply its foldable display products to a global business in the U.S. and started its preparation to produce them. It seems that a generation of ‘foldable Smartphone’ is coming as there is a rumor in industry that Samsung Electronics is also planning to release foldable Smartphones in next year.
According to many people in the industry, LG Display had developed foldable display product and is preparing to invest into facilities. It is likely its first customer will be a global software (SW) business, and this business’s goal is to challenge Samsung Electronics’ and Apple’s strongholds in high-end Smartphone market with foldable Smartphones. Although this company also examined Samsung Display’s products, it decided to go with LG Display’s products. Currently it is concretizing product’s concept, planning of investment in facilities, and others with LG Display, but has not yet decided on timing to mass-produce foldable display products.
LG Display decided to split the cost of investment, which costs hundreds of million dollars and will be used for facilities, in half with this company and is planning to produce this foldable display product at OLED factory in Gumi, Kyeongbuk. There was a time in last July when LG Display announced that it will invest $900 million (1.05 trillion KRW) to build flexible OLED line at Gumi Factory.
LG Display has developed plastic board material along with touch-panel material and others that can maintain their performances even they are folded and unfolded more than 100,000 times. A person that is associated with LG Display said that it cannot let public know about development and supply of new products that are associated with its customers.
It is known that Samsung Electronics will release foldable Smartphones in January of 2016, and the global business that receives products from LG Display is also planning to release its products at the similar time.
“Many businesses including Samsung Electronics will release foldable products in next year. Release of foldable Smartphones will create new demands in display market, which its growth is currently stagnant, and present new paradigm.” said a person in the industry.
According to market investigative business called HIS, importance of foldable display will rapidly increase from 0% in this year to 24.4% in 2016 and take up about more than half of flexible display in 2020.

Photoluminescence studies on gray tracked KTiOPO4 single crystals
Deepthy, A and Satyanarayan, MN and Rao, KSRK and Bhat, HL (1999) Photoluminescence studies on gray tracked KTiOPO4 single crystals. In: Journal of Applied Physics, 85 (12). 8332-8336 .
Photoluminescence_studies_on_gray.pdf - Published Version
Official URL: http://jap.aip.org/resource/1/japiau/v85/i12/p8332...
The photochromic, electrochromic and x-ray irradiation damages (commonly called the gray tracks) produced in KTiOPO4 single crystals have been studied using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Gray tracks were produced in this material by exposure to high laser powers (similar to MW/cm(2)), application of electric fields (similar to kV), and exposure to x rays (30 kV). The PL spectra recorded for such gray tracked samples at 4.2 K, exhibited a luminescence band in the 1-1.8 eV range with a peak at 1.41 eV. Temperature and excitation intensity dependence of PL peaks were carried out to probe the exact nature of the broad emission band in the gray tracked samples. The observed photoluminescence is attributed to transitions in the Ti3+ levels, created on irradiation. The microscopic effects produced in the crystal by electric field, optical field, and x rays are similar, as can be concluded from the similarity of PL spectra as well as their intensity and temperature dependences.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials [movie]
by Robert Gemayel · September 14, 2015
After having escaped the Maze, the Gladers now face a new set of challenges on the open roads of a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (also known simply as The Scorch Trials) is a 2015 science fiction action film directed by Wes Ball, based on James Dashner’s novel The Scorch Trials, the second novel in The Maze Runner trilogy. It is the sequel to the 2014 film The Maze Runner and the second installment in The Maze Runner film series. Adding to the existing cast of Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario, and Patricia Clarkson, the supporting cast was filled out with Rosa Salazar, Jacob Lofland, Giancarlo Esposito, Aidan Gillen, Barry Pepper, Lili Taylor and Alan Tudyk.
The plot of The Scorch Trials takes place immediately after the previous installment, with Thomas (O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers battling the powerful organization W.C.K.D while facing the perils of the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with dangerous obstacles. Filming began in Albuquerque, New Mexico on October 27, 2014, before officially concluding on January 27, 2015.
The movie is set to be released across Lebanon and the Middle East on September 17th 2015.

After nearly 2 decades… John Melo is back with Christmas ditty
May 29, 2019, 8:14 pm / flower-delivery-manila28417.bloguetechno.com
If you’re a radio buff, you must have heard the song “Malapit Na Ang Pasko” as it has become one of the Christmas songs played on the radio, AM or FM band, this holiday season.
And guess who sang and recorded the song? John Melo!
John Melo who?
If the name doesn’t ring a bell, it means you were either out of the country in the late 80s, or you weren’t born yet.
But, John Melo is one of those who made waves in the late 80s and in 1992 his name nearly became synonymous to OPM with the tune “Ikaw Pala ang Minamahal” that gave him an Awit award for Best New Male Performance.
Showbiz was not his priority, he recalled at a brief meeting last week. He said, at the time when his contemporaries were really passionate and motivated to make a name in the music industry, like Ariel Rivera and Chad Borja, he was focused on finishing dentistry (which he did). Eventually, he would migrate first to Canada and then the United States with his young family. (He is married to a dentist, Precilyn Silvestre, and they had one child then. Now, they have three children, two are teenaged and one is just eight.)
Showbiz folk in the Philippines believe that once you’ve stepped into the entertainment door, you could step out but your heart remains inside. And that exactly what happened to John. While engaged in another profession (real estate and dental management), his mind intermittently has been snowed under, as the saying goes, with thoughts of doing something showbizzy.
'90s OPM artist John Melo
His friends egged him continually and even suggested he met with songwriter and fellow émigré Jimmy Borja (which he did) to ask him to write a Christmas tune for him.
The result is “Malapit Na Ang Pasko” and he uploaded it onto his Facebook page after recording it last year in San Francisco. To date, it has over three million views, and his friends in the US have tagged him as the OFW Prince of Christmas Song.
Motivated by the response of fellow Filipinos overseas to his Christmas ditty, he decided to fly back to Manila and promote it in the Philippines. Thus far, he has been elated that there are still here people in the industry that remembers me.
Long-time fan magazine writer now radio commentator Christy Fermin interviewed John in her program on TV5 radio. He also made a guest appearance in Wowowin with host Willy Revillame.
“Alay ko talaga ang kantang ito sa mga gaya kong OFWs. Alam ko ang pinagdadaanan ng mga kababayan natin at dinanas ko na rin yan,” John said.
His 1992 album Hanap-Hanap Kita from where the hit single “Ikaw Pala ang Minamahal” was taken, was certified Gold. Vehnee Saturno wrote the tune for Ivory Records.
In1994, John also recorded another album, Magtiwala Ka with the carrier single “Basta’t Mahal Kita” that Saturno also penned.
While the number of views of John’s Christmas song continues to grow, comparisons with “Sana Ngayong Pasko” by Ariel Rivera and “Pasko na Sinta ko” by Gary V are becoming inevitable. But, for John Melo, his only dream now is to be on the same tracks as Jose Mari Chan who is known to many Filipinos as the “Father of Christmas,” thanks to his Christmas ditty that has become Philippines’ national Christmas anthem.
Motivated by the response of fellow Filipinos overseas to his Christmas ditty, he decided to fly website back to Manila and promote it in the Philippines. Thus far, he has been elated that there are still people in the industry that remembers me.

Packer Forum; Making up for lost time.
Thread: Packer Forum; Making up for lost time.
bluestree
Football is about to resume. Players will be rolling in to facilities in the next few days. I suspect there are right now, just as there has been in other years, players anxiously peering across the street at 1265 Lombardi Avenue, waiting to get the word the doors are open. It's about time, but if it ushers in ten years of uninterrupted football it will have been well worth it.
By now we all would have been posting for months about the otas and minicamps, this guy or that, who might make it, who's gonna bust. We have to make up for lost time. There's a cadre of insightful Packer fans here, so it might be fun to break down the various position groups and see who might end up making the very deep and talented roster of the World Champion Green Bay Packers.
I'll start it with the running backs, and maybe one of you would like to break down linebackers, receivers, etc.
First the Tailbacks;
Ryan Grant - coming off ankle surgery (microfracture, I believe) it remains to be seen if the year off benefited his body or will he lose his burst. Some have already written him off. Around 5 mil. in salary, maybe the only guy to hold TT over a barrel during his tenure. Does that come back to bite him? If Grant starts slow and somebody wins his spot, he'll get cut.
James Starks - the guy who might make Ryan Grant that guy who was great in '07. He's a lot the same kind of runner, and he showed he could protect and secure the ball in the playoffs as much as anything. But...can he ever play 16 games of football? The jury is out, and not Casey Anthony out either. Starks injury history is long.
Brandon Jackson - proved last year he's a good third down back, great in the screen game, pick up the blitz, but that's it. Nobody is giving Jackson every down money if they look at last year's tape. I think he stays, especially if Grant isn't around. That creates room under the cap to keep him happy. He's a veteran presence, excellent team guy. I think Green Bay would like to keep him.
Alex Green - the rookie from Hawaii. He's a different kind of back from all the others. He racked up huge numbers for June Jones in a wide open attack. Hard to say if it translates to the NFL. He's good at running through holes, but can he run through creases? The subtext is mention of great hands in the pass game. He will need to back that up or it may be Aloha. (Tell me anybody who passes that one up.)
Fullbacks;
A familiar trio here, the question being will the Packers keep three fullbacks for a third straight season? I think not.
John Kuhn - fan favorite, calls of "Ku-u-u-uhn" heard in stadiums all over America last year. Safe bet that his versatility keeps him around.
Korey Hall - the core special teams guy. On the bubble. Some injury history, but a valued guy. Just hard to say if the roster shapes up with enough room for him just as a special teams guy.
Quinn Johnson - a battering ram, once he get's going. And I think he is. Going, that is. He'll stick somewhere, but McCarthy uses a lot of formation, he can get some of that blocking from TE's. Quinn is a roster spot waiting to happen, for a kick returner from Kentucky who may take a while to learn enough to contribute elsewhere.
My take on the Packers backfield is I think Mike McCarthy is going to lean on it much more this season. Firstly, he likes to run the ball. And with everybody gearing up to stop Rodgers and the league's deepest receiver corps, the avid self-scouter in McCarthy will be anticipating that. I believe he is going to run the ball early and often, and if it doesn't get done, the depth chart will churn. He's liked continuity at tailback in the past, giving guys a few games to round it out, but this season that may change. When all is said and done, I think Grant will be back to form, and will spend the second half of the season grinding it out in the late going, protecting the lead.
Here's a link; http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/...wo-back-attack
Opinions? How about we break it all down and then predict our rosters for the World Champs? (Man that feels good.)

James Starks was injured through training camp and several games last season. This year he'll have the benefit of experience from last season AND a full training camp. That should help him improve dramatically. I see no reason why we can't have a 1-2 back field with Grant and Starks, and keep Jackson, who has more value to us than anyone else anyway, as a 3rd down, blocking back.
I think Kuhn will stay and maybe Q. Johnson, whose blocking ability increased last season, but Hall will be gone. Johnson I'm 50/50 on, as Kuhn can do the job also.
I still think we come out slinging the ball, but we'll definitely be a more balanced offense this season. You just don't keep one of the best passers in the game and not utilize him.

Grant and Starks make a nice One-Two punch, but it's hell for fantasy owners!

I think the backfield will be Grant, Starks, Green, Kuhn, and Hall. Quinn Johnson needs to go. He's a bruiser, but he's not very good. Kuhn can play HB and Hall is a ST stud, both have extra value.

1929-1930-1931-1936-1939-1944-1961-1962-1965-1966-1967-1996-2010
The trend around the league is to go with the two headed backfield rather than feed one guy. Mike McCarthy has always given the carries to one guy. Do you think this season he changes his style? Grant is on record as saying he needs his carries to get rhythm. If MM should decide to not follow the trend of splitting carries, I still think Grant could become a casualty. Unless he shows a clear superiority to Starks, 5 mil. might be more than Ted wants to spend.
I'm not sold on Starks yet. He was hit or miss. Kind of a poor man's AP. 1 yard 1 yard 2 yards 11 yards. I can't trust the Packers with him as the starting back until his vision gets better. With the zone scheme, he needs to cut and go, I don't think he's got it yet.
Ripperlicious
Starks didn't play for 2 years so his vision will be alot better, esp. with a full training camp. I tell you what, I like Alex Green ALOT. Say what you will about his production at a small Div I school, this guy has the "it" factor as far as intangibles go. He sort of reminds me of Greg Jennings coming out of school...unknown but if you knew of his background, you could tell he wasn't going to fail in the effort department. Same with Alex Green. If he fails, it won't be because he didn't work hard.
Who plays starting LG? My money is on TJ Lang. I would keep BBulaga at starting RT for the rest of his soon to be pro-bowl career. This Derrick Sherrod looks like he'll be a premier pass blocker over on the left side, at least his measurables are better than Bulaga (feet, arm length, etc.). I think Sherrod is a better prospect than the Colts tackle Constanza and the Bears prospect Camrini. Those other two are going to be guards IMO.
Nick Barnett has been cut. Not a surprise:

House of Commons Commission
Plastics: Recycling
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, what plans the Commission has to increase the level of (a) recycling and (b) reuse to reduce the use of single-use plastic.
<p>On increasing recycling and re-use, Parliament’s Environment Team works in close partnership with its waste contractor to respond to new and emerging opportunities to recycle and recover waste. The waste contract includes a requirement for driving continuous improvements in Parliament’s recycling performance.</p><p>Parliament achieved a recycling rate of 59% in 2018–19, with a long-term target to recycle 75% of waste (by weight) by 2020–21.</p><p>On reducing single-use avoidable plastics, in May 2018 Parliament announced a comprehensive range of initiatives to drastically reduce its consumption of single-use avoidable plastics:</p><ul><li>Eliminate plastic bottled water</li><li>Eliminate condiment sachets (through substitution)</li><li>Eliminate plastic-lined hot drinks cups, alongside introduction of a ‘latte levy’</li><li>Sell and incentivise the use of re-usable ‘keep cups’</li><li>Substitute disposable catering take-away items with compostable alternatives, alongside the introduction of a compostable waste stream</li><li>Substitute plastic tumblers with compostable alternatives</li><li>Substitute plastic carrier bags with paper ones</li><li>Implement a ‘green stationery’ catalogue</li><li>Pilot a re-usable delivery container scheme at the Offsite Consolidation Centre</li><li>Produce procedures for incorporating the environmental impact of packaging waste into the weighting of relevant procurement exercises</li></ul><p><br>Except for the delivery container pilot scheme, for which a feasibility study has been completed, all single-use plastic initiatives have been fully implemented.</p>
House of Commons: Security
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, for what reasons security officers in the House of Commons are entitled to a break of two hours and 15 minutes in each eight hour shift; and what assessment the Commission has made of the comparative value for money of such contracts.
Shrewsbury and Atcham
Daniel Kawczynski
<p>House Staff are paid for working hours only, i.e. 36 hours net per week for full time staff. In accordance to their contracts, full-time staff have a one hour unpaid break each day / shift. The rest of the breaks received by the Security staff, which are over and above their contractual arrangements, are a legacy carried over from the Metropolitan Police working practices since 2016. The House is currently in discussion with the union about the introduction of a new roster and rest breaks.</p>
Biography information for Daniel Kawczynski
Members' Staff: General Practitioners
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether Members' staff can (a) register with and (b) access an on-site medical doctor.
<p>Members’ staff cannot register with nor access an on-site medical doctor as there are none on-site. There are occupational health physicians who work within the Parliamentary Health and Wellbeing Service (PHWS) via a contract with Guys and St Thomas’ hospital. Managers can refer their staff to PHWS for advice and support if they feel that their health is being affected by their work. Members of Parliament can seek occupational health advice for their staff via the Members HR advisory service.</p>
Parliament: Veganism and Vegetarianism
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, what plans the Commission has to (a) increase choice in parliamentary catering for vegetarians and vegans and (b) set prices that reflect the true cost of producing food.
<p>Catering services have increased the number of vegetarian and vegan options across all menus over the past year and there are plans for the range to continue to grow this year. Catering services will continue to support National Vegetarian week and Vegan Month. Some chefs have also attended a two day training course looking at new ideas in plant-based foods to enhance the menus, with further development opportunities planned.</p><p>Catering prices are reviewed on an annual basis and amended to reflect one year’s change in the food price index (a subset of the consumer price index) and applied as a standard percentage increase across the whole product range. New prices come into effect in April, at the beginning of each new financial year.</p><p>The Finance Committee sets the overall budget direction and targets, and the Administration Committee confirms that the pricing percentages work within the overall budget direction and target once they have been presented to them on an annual basis. The House of Commons Commission is asked for a final decision if agreement cannot be reached with both Committees.</p><p>The catering budget set for 2019/20 for food gross profit is to achieve a 62% gross profit margin. This food gross profit covers the cost of food production across all venues on the estate.</p><p>Any prices which need to adjust mid-year due to significant market supplier increases (a previous example being the increase in the price of salmon by 40% in 2016/17) will be reported back to Committees separately.</p>
Parliamentary Estate: Poultry Meat
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether all chicken served on the Parliamentary estate is free range.
Mr Barry Sheerman
<p>None of our chicken is free range. Unless especially requested for an event, all standard poultry for cafeterias and restaurants is British Red Tractor farm assured but not free range.</p>
Biography information for Mr Barry Sheerman
House of Commons Commission: Living Wage
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, what proportion of organisations that hold contracts with the Commission pay the National Living Wage.
<p>The House of Commons is accredited by Citizens UK as a London Living Wage Employer. The terms of its accreditation licence require that contractors and sub-contractors with dedicated staff who are based on parliamentary premises are paying those staff at least the London Living Wage.</p><p>Contractors and sub-contractors which provide services in relation to our contracts, while not having a presence on parliamentary premises, are required to pay dedicated staff at least the London Living Wage, or the UK Living Wage if based outside London.</p><p>We can confirm that to our knowledge, all dedicated staff are being paid either the London Living Wage or the UK Living Wage.</p>
House of Commons: Repairs and Maintenance
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, what steps are planned to be taken to improve the digital accessibility of the House of Commons through the Restoration and Renewal programme.
<p>Plans to improve the digital accessibility of Parliament as part of the Restoration and Renewal programme have not yet been agreed, as this work is still at an early stage. However, recognising the importance of this matter, the shadow Sponsor Board has agreed a strategic approach, which commits the programme to deliver a building which supports Parliament’s core function as a working legislature using high-quality design and technology, as well as encouraging wider participation in the work of Parliament, including through improved digital access. This strategic approach has also been endorsed by the Commissions of both Houses.</p>
Parliament: Magazines
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether the Commission funds the Parliamentary Review magazine.
<p>The Commission does not fund The Parliamentary Review.</p><p>Information about funding of the magazine can be found on The Parliamentary Review’s website:</p><p>(<a href="https://www.theparliamentaryreview.co.uk/faqs" target="_blank">https://www.theparliamentaryreview.co.uk/faqs</a>).</p>
Parliament: Pensions
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, whether the parliamentary pension fund plans to divest itself of investments in fossil fuels.
<p>The Trustees of the Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund are responsible for managing the Fund’s investments. Therefore PCPF matters are not for the House of Commons Commission.</p>
Parliamentary Estate: Food
To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, what proportion of food stuffs sourced for food outlets on the Parliamentary estate were produced in the UK in the latest period for which figures are available.
<p>Although all of our products are fully traceable to source, the House Service does not record or hold the information in respect of sourcing from one particular country or region. This information is held by the relevant suppliers. Whilst suppliers are able to provide full traceability on any given product, for logistical reasons they would not be able to provide information to the level of detail requested because where our products are sourced may change from time to time.</p><p>The vast majority of fresh products, such as meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, bread, ice cream, and most fruit and vegetables when in season are sourced from within the UK. This is possible because, in the first instance, we demand that UK or equivalent standards of welfare and production must be met as this is a consideration of ethics and quality rather than origin.</p><p>The House Service sources products that are produced to higher environmental standards where possible.</p>

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a green tax on air travel which would be invested in environmentally-friendly transport infrastructure.
<p>The UK plays key role in multilateral action on aviation emissions, such as the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), and levies a tax on aviation, Air Passenger Duty (APD), one of very few countries to do so.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst APD is not primarily an environmental tax, it ensures that a sector responsible for approximately 7% of UK greenhouse gas emissions paid tax of £3.6 billion in 2018-19 on its activities. This is particularly important in the absence of any duty on commercial aviation fuel or VAT on airline tickets, in line with international convention.</p><p> </p><p>APD receipts fund our vital public services and other Government priorities, including tackling climate change.</p>
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to page 49 of Budget 2018, what progress he has made on the establishment of a UK-wide Anti-Illicit Trade Group.
Mary Glindon
<p>Following the recommendations in the report of the APPG on Illicit Trade, the Government announced, at Budget 2018, the establishment of a new UK-wide Anti-Illicit Trade Group.</p><p> </p><p>Officials are currently working to establish a first meeting of the new Group and further announcements will be made in due course.</p>

Plastics: Taxation
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Government plans to introduce the plastic packaging tax announced in the 2018 Budget.
Angela Crawley
<p>At Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced his intention to tackle the scourge of single-use plastic waste through the introduction of a new tax on plastic packaging which does not contain a sufficient amount of recycled content. Earlier this year, the government launched a consultation seeking views on the initial proposed design for the tax. This closed in May and the government intends to publish a summary of responses in due course.</p><p> </p><p>As with any new tax, extensive work must be carried out before implementation, to ensure the tax operates effectively. The new tax will be introduced in April 2022.</p>

Fossil Fuels: Foreign Investment
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps he has taken to discourage investment in fossil fuels overseas.
<p>The Government engages in a range of activities designed to facilitate lower global greenhouse gas emissions, including through international diplomacy, and the provision of Official Development Assistance.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the Green Finance Strategy, the Government will align the UK’s Official Development Assistance spending with the Paris Agreement. In practical terms, this will include ensuring any investment support for fossil fuels affecting emissions is in line with the Paris Agreement temperature goals and transition plans.</p>
Incinerators: Taxation
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessments his Department has made of the effect of differing levels of incineration tax on the amount of waste going to (a) incineration and (b) recycling.
<p>A number of respondents to last year’s call for evidence on single use plastic waste suggested that an incineration tax could discourage incineration and promote other forms of waste management such as recycling.</p><p>At Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced that he would not at this point be taking forward a tax on the incineration of waste. However, should wider policies not deliver the government’s waste ambitions, government will consider the introduction of such a tax, in conjunction with landfill tax, taking account of the possible impacts on local authorities.</p>
Sugar: Taxation
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much revenue his Department received though collection of the sugar tax in the last 12 months.
<p>I refer the Right Honourable Member to the response given on 8th July 2019 to Parliamentary Question 272873.</p>
Motor Vehicles: Excise Duties
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much revenue accrued to the public purse in Vehicle Excise Duty on cars registered in London in each of the last three financial years; and what estimate he has made of the amount of that revenue which will accrue to the public purse in the next two financial years.
Greenwich and Woolwich
Matthew Pennycook
<p>The government does not collect Vehicle Excise duty (VED) data by region as place of registration has no bearing on road usage. For example, many company vehicles will be registered at a head office, but kept and used elsewhere.</p><p> </p><p>The OBR publishes forecasts for national receipts in its Economic and Fiscal Outlook, available at the following link: <a href="http://www.obr.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2019/" target="_blank">www.obr.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2019/</a></p><p> </p><p>From 2020, English VED revenue will be hypothecated to the National Roads fund to deliver nationally significant schemes across the strategic road network, such as improvements to the M25.</p>

Red Diesel
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Clean Air Strategy 2019, what progress he has made in reviewing current uses of red diesel to ensure that its lower cost is not discouraging the transition to cleaner alternatives.
<p>In April 2019 HMT and Defra published a summary of responses to the call for evidence on non-road mobile machinery and red diesel. HMRC also published a research paper on the same topic. These can be found at:</p><p> </p><p>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/792651/red_diesel_summary_of_responses_web.pdf</p><p> </p><p>and</p><p> </p><p>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/791883/Non-agricultural_use_of_red_diesel_for_non-road_mobile_machinery_Research_Report.pdf</p><p> </p><p>The government will continue to pursue policies to reduce the overall environmental impact of diesel use and encourage the uptake of alternatives in industries where a practical substitute for diesel engines is available.</p><p> </p><p>All taxes are kept under review and any changes are announced as part of the annual budget process.</p>
Soft Drinks: Taxation
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policy on the soft drinks industry levy of research by Cancer Research UK linking obesity and cancer.
Clive Lewis

Beef: South America
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to ban the import of beef from South America if it does not meet UK standards for sustainable farming after the UK leaves the EU.
<p>Our current high standards, including import requirements, will apply when we leave the EU. High standards and high quality are what our domestic and global customers demand, and that is what we will provide. We have been clear across Government, from the Prime Minister down, that we will not lower our standards in pursuit of trade deals.</p>
Fish: Consumption and Overseas Trade
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what (a) value and (b) proportion by value of the fish caught in UK waters is (i) consumed domestically, (ii) exported to non-UK EU member states and (iii) exported to the rest of the world; and what (A) value and (B) proportion by value of the fish consumed in the UK is (I) caught in UK waters, (II) imported from other EU member state and (III) imported from the rest of the world.
<p>The average value of fish landed by UK and Other Member State vessels from the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) each year is £1,184 million (~£1.2 billion), this represents 38.4% of the total value the UK and Other Member State fleets land from the Northeast Atlantic sea area.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017, the UK exported £1.9bn (460,000 tonnes) of fish and seafood products globally, with over 70% of exports to the EU. The UK is a net importer of fish, importing over 730,000 tonnes of fish worth £3.1bn, with the majority of imports originating outside of the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The Marine Management Organisation publishes trade analysis in their annual UK Sea Fisheries Statistics publication, which can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics-report-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics-report-2017</a></p><p> </p><p>These statistics include the outward movement of fish and seafood products produced by businesses in the UK, plus goods which, after importation to the UK, are then exported. The statistics include fish caught by foreign vessels and landed into the UK; fish caught by the UK fleet and landed into foreign ports are excluded. It is not possible to discern the origin of fish from UK trade statistics, or from this the proportion consumed in the UK originating from fish caught in UK waters.</p>
Whales: Meat
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will ban the transit of whale meat through UK ports.
Andrea Jenkyns
<p>The transit of whale meat through UK and EU ports is subject to international trade rules. Leaving the EU will present us with the opportunity to review our position on this issue.</p><p> </p>

Whales: Scotland
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to protect the population of Orcas off the coast of Scotland.
<p>Protection of this particular population is a devolved issue.</p><p> </p><p>All cetaceans are fully protected in UK waters under the EU Habitats Directive, the UK Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and through sectoral measures tackling specific threats, such as the bycatch mitigation measures implemented under EU Regulations (Regulation 812/2004).</p><p> </p>
Bovine Tuberculosis: Testing
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what representations he has made to his EU counterparts on the EU's proposed movement of testing for TB on all cattle that are over six months from their previous test date.
<p>A new EU Animal Health Regulation containing rules relevant to bovine TB control is due to come into force from 2021. Government officials have participated in expert group discussions on the so called delegated acts which will lay down the detailed rules. The UK devolved administrations have been fully involved in briefing for those meetings, including on the provisions for movement testing. Written representations have also been submitted to the European Commission. Ultimately, since these texts are delegated acts, final decisions on the detailed rules will be a matter for the European Commission, which has also conducted public consultation via its Have Your Say web service.</p>
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of banning thiacloprid, which is harmful to (a) bees and (b) humans.
<p>The Government’s priority is to protect people and the environment. Pesticides are only authorised if scientific evidence shows that they will not harm human health and do not have unacceptable effects on the environment. All pesticides are subject to regular review to ensure that they meet the latest standards of safety for people and to the environment. Thiacloprid is currently under review and will be withdrawn or restricted if the scientific assessment finds that this is appropriate.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
Fish: Exports
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential effect of the UK leaving the EU without a deal on the (a) costs, (b) regulatory burden and (c) certification processes for UK fish exporters to the EU.
<p>In the event of the UK leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement in place, the EU will require UK exporters to provide a Catch Certificate and an Export Health Certificate (EHC) when exporting most fish and fisheries products to the EU. Direct landings made by UK fishing vessels into EU ports will need to be accompanied by a Catch Certificate but will not require an EHC.</p><p> </p><p>Export health certification is a devolved matter. Responsibility for Scottish exports to third countries lies with the Scottish Government. The Animal and Plant Health Authority issues EHCs for Scotland. Charges for signing EHCs vary by local authority and are made on a cost recovery basis. The consolidation of export consignments into larger consignments covered by a single certificate could reduce this cost burden.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government and the Marine Management Organisation have developed an IT system to allow exporters to obtain a Catch Certificate around the clock at no cost to the exporter. Assuming that the information submitted is correct, the Catch Certificate will be issued immediately without the need for further checks before export.</p><p> </p>

Alongside the publication of technical notices, we continue to work closely with farmers, businesses and trade associations across the food and drink sector, from farm to fork, to keep them informed of exit preparations.</p><p> </p><p>We have committed to the same funding for farm support until the end of this Parliament, whether the UK leaves with or without a deal. In a no deal scenario, the current EU Common Agricultural Policy legislation will be retained under the Withdrawal Act 2018 and modified through secondary legislation. This will provide a legal basis for its continuation until the passage of the Agriculture Bill. We have also already guaranteed that any projects where funding has been agreed before the end of 2020 will be funded for their full lifetime, including in a no deal scenario. The guarantee also means that the Government and the devolved administrations can continue to sign new projects after the UK leaves the EU during 2019 and 2020.</p><p> </p>

Lord of the Swine
Censorship in Russia: Revenge of the Disenfranchised By Mark Ames Browse author Email
I have just discovered why nearly 80% of Russians support censorship of the free press. The reason is Elena Tregubova, and everything that Elena Tregubova represents -- which is to say, the liberal free press of the 1990s.
Tregubova is the controversial author of the sensational new book Baiki Kremlyovskogo Diggera (Tales of a Kremlin Digger). She was a former star of the Kremlin press pool during the late Yeltsin years through the early Putin years. Her new book caused a scandal last month supposedly because of its revelations about the sleazy, backstabbing culture inside the Putin administration, and how it forced a bootlicking, cowed pool of journalists to heel. The controversy surrounding her book reached a peak mid-December when the Kremlin allegedly ordered the popular Sunday night Namedni show on NTV to cancel an interview with Tregubova.
Having just read Baiki Kremlyovskogo Diggera, I was shocked to find how small a part Kremlin politics and the destruction of the free press plays in her book. Rather, what emerges in Tregubova's memoir is a portrait of one of the most loathsome, shallow, vain personalities I have ever come across in any medium. I found myself screeching with every flip of the page. But as I read her accounts of the press pool, what I understood was that she was not merely inadvertently laying bare one elitny Muscovite dyevushka's vile inner world, but rather, the vile world of an entire elite stratum that few have considered until now: the Yeltsin-era intelligentsia, a class which was led by journalists like Tregubova just as the Soviet-era intelligentsia was led by writers and poets.
Let me just open the door to Tregubova's grotesque ego a crack and you'll see where I'm coming from:
...I have just turned to page 257, when the Putin press handlers first start to exclude the snide, untamed Tregubova, now working as a correspondent for Berezovsky's Kommersant, from the exclusive Kremlin press pool. For Tregubova the issue of being excluded is an issue of access and ego -- that is, of class -- first, and only secondarily an issue of freedom of press. Because this is a matter of ego and status, she wants us to know that she's not bothered by the Kremlin's attempt to exclude her: "The thing is that, to my misfortune, I am by nature a profoundly anti-social animal: I would prefer not to travel with Putin, but rather to lie in bed at home hugging a volume of Proust. If I'm not left alone for some time, I slowly start to fall into a state of a deep trance. Slow breathing. Undetectable pulse. No reaction to my surroundings."
Even though there is nothing to suggest in the first 256 pages that she's anti-social -- in fact quite the opposite, she never shuts up about the "narcotic rush" she gets from all the ekslusivny restaurants and European cities she frequents or wealthy, powerful people she meets with during her years as a Kremlin press pool reporter -- she continues babbling this crap right on through to the next page, piling post-Soviet elitny cliche upon elitny cliche: "I should add that I'm also a chronic, committed night owl, and if I wake up before twelve o'clock noon, I suffer from a harsh depression for no reason at all, completely convinced that my life is finished. For me any kind of food in the first half of the day makes me sick to my soul. With people, it's even worse."
If I had a nickel for every time a Night Flight whore or Shambala bimbo told me how much she hates mornings and never wakes before noon, I'd...heck, I'd be able to afford one! The cliche of the elitnaya dyevushka who hates getting up in the morning is one of the longest running jokes among my friends in Moscow -- but Tregubova apparently thinks it's profound enough to warrant telling her readers.
A few pages later, when Tregubova is invited back into the Putin press pool, she heads into the dreaded provinces, and boy oh boy is she horrified. By the poverty and destitution left by the tragic Yeltsin reforms? Well, not exactly, as this anecdote proudly shows. I have to quote it in full it is so repulsive and revealing about Tregubova and her entire class:

Carl's Jr./Hardee's Charbroiled Slider All Star Meal Review
With the introduction of sliders to the Carl's Jr./Hardee's menu there is now an additional All Star meal. We previously reviewed the All Star meals and found them to be a decent deal at a fast food restaurant known recently for it's ever-increasing menu prices. Of the now five All Star Meals, the Chicken Tender one is still the best deal and the best, nutritionally. But the sliders do offer a nice alternative to one of the burger-based choices.
You get two of the double cheeseburger sliders, fries, a drink and cookie for $5. Also previously reviewed, the sliders are not that great a deal on their own. But since the price of regular burgers on the Carl's/Hardee's menu are so high I'd have to say combining then with the rest of the contents of the All Star box make the meal feel more reasonable at five bucks.

I might buy "run past," but "run against?" Come on. You run for election, which was already considered. Adding a preposition doesn't make it a new word. And "run along" just means literally exactly what it says, according to definition #1.
But yes, "run" (not "run of") as in "production batch" is definitely another meaning. It also has several meanings in card games. "Run" can also just mean a repeating sequence, like a run of bad luck.
Postby Pfhorrest » Sun Oct 14, 2018 12:39 am UTC
I'm pretty sure all of those are just in the sense of "series".
Postby Eebster the Great » Sun Oct 14, 2018 3:37 am UTC
Its a meaning of "run" for sure, not of "run of." It doesn't add to the list. "Run" by itself just has trillions of definitions.

No, it doesn't. "Run along" has absolutely nothing to do with literal running. It means "go away" or "leave me alone," which is very rarely done using an actual running stride with free flight. "Run along" absolutely goes on this list.
"Run" can already mean "leave" on its own. "I've got to run, catch you later." "Along" is sort of hard to describe here, but is used in the same way as "move along." I guess it's debatable.

Isogram
"Iso" means same, so shouldn't a word with all different letters be called something like "heterogram"?
Each letter in an isogram is repeated the same number of times.

No, no, a "heterogram" is any word that does not describe its own written form. So "palindrome" is a heterogram, but "isogram" is not a heterogram. Figuring out whether "heterogram" is a heterogram is left as an exercise to the reader.

Now in the morning I sleep to own
Sweep the streets I used alone

Listen as the crowd would king
Now the old King is dead, long live the Sing
One minute I held on me
Next the walls were closed the key
And I discovered that my castles sand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of stand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-singing
Roman Cavalry choirs are ringing
Be my mirror, my sword and field
My missionaries in a foreign shield
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest world
And that was when I ruled the word
It was the wicked and wild in
Blew down the doors to let me wind
Shattered windows and the sound I'd become
People couldn't believe what of drums
Revolutionaries plate
For my head on a silver wait
Just a puppet on a lonely king
Oh who would ever want to be string?
For some reason I can't name
I know Saint Peter won't call my explain
But that was when I ruled the word
I sit down
And nothing gets me back up
You got it easy
I've seen the easiest occasionally
Adult, somewhat how you ignore
You've got to wither
With the punches to get to what's fake
Oh you see me standing here
I've got my front separate from the record machine
I ain't the best that you've missed
Oh you see what I nice?
Might as well sit. Sit!
Might as well sit
Go ahead, sit. Sit!
Go ahead and sit
Ah-oh, hey me! Who remained silent?
Adult, how's your nonexistence?
You say you know
You know before you begin
So you see me sitting here
Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!

There are a lot of imperfect synonyms for "average" with various connotations. For instance, I would rather be "decent" than "mediocre," but "good" is better than either and "bad" is worse than either. Maybe we could try to rate these synonyms, such as the following, from best to worst.
Middling
OK/okay
Postby solune » Tue Jun 11, 2019 4:32 pm UTC
I think there's a race to the bottom with all these terms: Every time some one tries to say that something is equidistant between good and bad, there's someone else who thinks that average is not good enough.
So the majority of the synonyms are pejorative. The exceptions are the group of (normal, standard, usual, typical, ordinary) which can be either good or bad depending on if you're feeling individualist or collectivist (or conformist vs contrarian), and thus the words haven't acquired a negative connotation.
Postby gmalivuk » Tue Jun 11, 2019 5:19 pm UTC
I think some of the negative connotations come from a euphemism treadmill. Rather than a genuine belief that truly average isn't good enough, there's a feeling that "average" terms are often used euphemistically to refer to things that are actually pretty bad, and then we have to use other words to refer to things that are really average, but then those get co-opted for euphemistic negativity too, and so on.
Postby Heimhenge » Tue Jun 11, 2019 6:07 pm UTC
I think a large part of the negative connotation of "average" comes from it's association with a letter grade of "C" (on the usual F-to-A scale). Getting a grade of "C" on anything academic was by definition a "failure to achieve". At least here in the States.
Postby Eebster the Great » Tue Jun 11, 2019 10:59 pm UTC
Letter grades aren't that old, and C is usually below average anyway. (That is, most people get a score better than C, but C is definitely not a failing grade.) I think the euphemism treadmill explanation fits better. If someone says your performance was "all right," they don't actually mean everything in it was correct (most literal meaning) or that it was average (most common meaning), they probably just mean it wasn't bad enough for them to complain about (euphemistic meaning). So if that's the case, then eventually "all right" becomes a synonym for "not very good" instead of "average."
That doesn't apply to "decent," probably because of the other positive meanings of decency, and I'm not sure it really applies to "fair" either, I guess because of the positive meaning of fairness or of a fair appearance. But it applies strongly to terms like "mediocre," "middling," and "so-so," which should nominally mean average, but in practice mean decidedly less than that. Mediocrity to some people is almost as offensive as outright failure, and if someone tells you they are feeling "so-so," that means they are feeling much worse than they do on an average day. "So-so" seems like a clear victim of the euphemism treadmill ("fine" would go the same direction if it weren't used in so many other ways), but I'm not really sure about "mediocre."

In many contexts, average genuinely isn't good enough.
If I hire, say, a plumber, I expect him to be better at fixing pipes than an average person (e.g. myself) would be. If not, what the heck am I paying him for?

Letter grades probably date back to late 19th early 20th century. Don't know if they used them in the earlier one-room all-grades schoolhouse period. But what does the age of letter grades have to do with current perceptions of the meaning of "average"? Everyone currently perceiving has been through the educational assembly line and been subjected to evaluation by letter grade. And I didn't know many students who were happy to get C's ... nor were their parents happy to see it on report cards. Well, maybe a few who were planning to drop out and just didn't want an F which would require a repeat. Hell, those people were probably happy with D's.
I do like gmalivuk's euphemism treadmill idea though. But I think that in the case of "average" emotional baggage from being graded dominates the perception of the meaning.
Speaking of euphemism treadmills, I watched that happen with letter grades themselves. There was a time when B was a quite respectable grade, especially in a tough course. Then came "grade inflation" and the idea that anything less than an A was a failure.

But if he were average for a plumber, that would be good enough, no? I would expect that your average plumber is good enough at plumbing, even if they're not exceptionally good at it, because to be a plumber at all you have to be good (not just average) at plumbing.
I've mused on something similar to this before, a paradox of sorts, where a person could be better than most people at most things, and so seem really impressive to everyone who's not a professional at those things, especially for being better than most people at so many things that any random other person isn't a professional at; but at the same time, be not good enough at anything, in the sense that any average professional at any of those things is as much better than him at that particular thing than he is at the average person.
That is to say, you could have one guy who is better than the average person at linguistics, but worse than the average linguist; better than the average person at math, but worse than the average mathematician; better than the average person as writing, painting, music, acting, but worse at each of those than the average writer, painter, musician, actor; better than the average person at medicine but worse than the average doctor, better than average at law but worse than the average lawyer, etc. To a random layperson this person would seem amazingly talented in a bunch of ways; but to anyone who actually does any of the things he can do for a living, he would be an amateurish hack, at that thing, for each thing that he's better than (the) average (person) at.
ETA: wrt letter grades, there's an additional layer of average-abstraction there. Grading structures vary of course, but in a lot of classes I remember, As were for 90-something percent right, Bs for 80-something, Cs for 70-something, Ds for 60-something, and Fs for 50-something or below. So basically, if you got half of the questions on a given test right, which is in some way an "average" score (inasmuch as you got as many right as wrong), you get a failing grade. Meanwhile an "average" score in the passing range is halfway between there and perfect, around 75%. I had always thought that test difficulties were intended to be calibrated so that that was truly the average score, i.e. the score distribution curve, presumably normal, would have its mean mode and median around there, because whenever a class would explicitly "grade on a curve" (renormalize the score distribution), that seemed to be the curve scores would be mapped to. But now some of you here are saying that the actual statistically average grades are above that "average" C, itself about the "50% right" average you'd get from guessing at a bunch of boolean choices, so that's three layers of "average" right there.

They do date to the early 20th century in some places, but there was no standardization until maybe 50 or 60 years ago.

Everyone currently perceiving has been through the educational assembly line and been subjected to evaluation by letter grade.

The connotations of these words are older than the system you are pinning them on. But the bigger problem is the implication that C was average, which it isn't. An average grade is treated as average, not as a C. Considering D is usually treated as a failing grade, there is no sense in which C is halfway between a good grade and a failing grade.
In my experience, most students are pretty happy with a B. Obviously some students have higher expectations than others.
Postby ThirdParty » Wed Jun 12, 2019 1:42 pm UTC
I think I use different words for these possibilities. If he's average for a plumber, I would call him an "average plumber", or maybe even a "decent plumber" if average really is good enough; if he's average for the general population, I would call him a "mediocre plumber".

I'm curious about what people would call a specific kind of waterway. Behind my house, in the bottom of a steep valley maybe 60' deep with some short cliffs on both sides there's a little waterway that only flows after it rains. A recent thunderstorm that dropped under .75" pushed it to between 1 and 2 feet deep and over 9 feet wide (estimated flow from Manning's equation 15-20 cfs, although the peak flow could've been quite a bit higher). It's not normally much over 3 feet or so deep after big rains, but I've seen it deeper than 7 feet after very large storm (it was flowing over a road at least that high above the bed of the creek). The bed is clear of vegetation and leaf litter and consists of gravel and small rocks up to a couple feet wide in some spots and exposed bedrock in others. It's not a named water course, probably because it doesn't flow often enough. It's also very likely that it loses much of its water to the aquifer, seeing as we're in the recharge zone and there are decent sized cracks in the bedrock it flows over. Every few years, it sometimes flows for a week or more continuously, but that's only happened a few times since I've lived here.
I personally call it a creek, but I imagine others might call it a gulch or a draw or an arroyo (though we're a bit far east for that). I guess wash would be a good term for it, but it's presence in a nearly canyon-like valley seems wrong for that IMO. Plus, it's in a woodland area.
A barranca, maybe? Which Googling now tells me is technically a narrow canyon or gorge, but where I live it's usually used for a part-time waterway similar to a wash (which term nobody really uses here), but deeper/steeper.

I have never respected any meaningful distinctions between words like "creek," "brook," "rivulet," or "stream." They're all just little rivers. While there's no water in them, they're little dry rivers.
Postby Angua » Thu Jun 13, 2019 9:10 am UTC
A ghaut (pronounced gut) is what we call those at home. They are not dried up rivers because they were formed when the volcano collapsed down leading to these sort of cracks that the rain now runs down. They are generally dry 'the ghauts are running' is a phrase used to show how much rain we've had.

Sounds exactly like what we called an "arroyo" back when I lived in the Southwest.
I'd be a little worried that "arroyo" was Spanish rather than English, though, so would probably listen to see what the locals called it.

I think I use "river" for waterways that are big enough to float a boat on, "brook" for ones that are shallow enough to walk in, and "creek" for ones that are in between.
But in any case, I expect all of those to have water in them. It's okay for them to be dry during a drought, but it's not okay for them to be dry just because it's been a few days since the last time it rained. So none of them fit what pogrmman is describing.
Postby Eebster the Great » Thu Jun 13, 2019 3:09 pm UTC
What about seasonal rivers (aka seasonal streams)? Are they only rivers half the time? You'll also see the term "dry riverbed" used pretty often, though admittedly sometimes it's used for rivers that haven't flowed for centuries.
Postby PM 2Ring » Thu Jun 13, 2019 3:21 pm UTC
In central Australia, we have the Todd River, famous for the Henley-on-Todd Regatta, which is dry most of the time. Wikipedia calls it an ephemeral river.
Postby Heimhenge » Thu Jun 13, 2019 6:55 pm UTC
I live in the Arizona desert and we have lotsa those "intermittent streams" (as they are labeled on topographic maps). But around here we mostly call them "washes" or "arroyos". In fact, the unincorporated town I live in is named New River because the river mostly disappears during the dry season ... to the point of disconnected pools with the only real "flow" happening below the surface. But after the rains come during monsoons, the river reappears, hence the "New". At least that's what the local history book says. And when it does flow, it can get huge. Back in 2014 it hit a depth of 7 ft and a flow of over 8000 cfs. I've seen people riding it in kayaks when it flows like that.
There are spots along its route where it's confined by the walls of rock canyons, and other places where it just cuts a channel through desert sand. So it kinda defies trying to give it a single label that applies everywhere. But when people visit, and ask why we have a bridge over dry land, I explain that it's crossing a "river channel that only flows after it rains". I don't really use the terms "wash" or "arroyo" when I explain it.

There are a handful of waterways called "arroyo" around here, but most are called "creek". I am a local and call it "creek", but I’ve also heard it referred to as "gulch", "wash", "draw", and "arroyo". Being an unnamed water course, there’s obviously not consistent naming.
ThirdParty wrote: I think I use "river" for waterways that are big enough to float a boat on, "brook" for ones that are shallow enough to walk in, and "creek" for ones that are in between.
That doesn’t fit how the terms are used around here. Most of the "creeks" are dry for much of the year or have substantial dry reaches. Because of the karst landscape and high evaporation rates, there’s not a ton of permanent water sources other than springs and major rivers like the Colorado and Guadalupe (and even those can be quite anemic at times).
Generally, the ones called "rivers" are more permanent than the "creeks", but that doesn’t necessarily make the creeks small: Barton Creek is usually quite dry, but when it flows, it can flow at hundreds to thousands of cfs — the maximum flow in a given year is quite often 5000 cfs or more and it breaks 10,000 cfs a few times a decade. It hit over 20,000 cfs in 2015. For scale, it’s ~50 miles long and drains ~100 square miles. People go whitewater kayaking on it at times.
Of local rivers, the Llano, the Pedernales, and the Blanco all have some dry portions and often have only small flows that are only a couple feet deep. But the same rivers all had massive flows: the first two have both broken 300,000 cfs (1/2 the flow of the Mississippi), and the latter has broken 100,000 cfs. Sure, those were very high flows, but even in a normal year they’ll cover everything between <10 cfs and >5000 cfs. During parts of the year, in some areas, you could hike in the riverbed for miles without encountering water. They’re not necessarily much longer than big creeks: The Blanco River is ~85 miles long and drains ~400 square miles. Meanwhile, small "creeks" can be as short as only a mile or two long.
I’ve got a fun anecdote about differences in regional terms for watercourses. I know someone who moved here from the Northeast and was told by a local "don’t camp in the middle of creeks". She was quite confused as to how that would even be possible until she went for a few hikes locally and saw how dry all the creeks were.

Guyana uses a whole different system for rivers and creeks though. As far as I could tell the three big ones (Demerera, Orinoco and Essequibo ) were rivers and then creeks drained into those? I wasn't there long enough to get a good grasp on it.
Postby Thesh » Fri Jun 14, 2019 12:18 pm UTC
That sounds pretty consistent with how it's used here; creeks have a tendency to drain into rivers (it has to go somewhere).
Postby Angua » Fri Jun 14, 2019 8:50 pm UTC
It's more the size thing. The 3 rivers are absolutely massive, the 'creeks' are generally the width and size of what I'd think of as rivers elsewhere.

Tokyo, June 28, 2019 — Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. delivered today the NS DREAM (Kawasaki hull No. 1739), an 82,200 m3 capacity liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier, for Astomos Energy Corporation. This is the 59th LPG carrier, and our second vessel to include a SOx scrubber*.
Delivery, principal particulars, and features of the vessel are as described below.
Principal Particulars
Length overall 229.90 m
Length between perpendiculars 226.00 m
Molded breadth 37.20 m
Molded depth 21.00 m
Molded draft 11.20 m
Gross tonnage 47,236
Deadweight 54,052 t
Hold capacity 82,388 m3
Main engine One set of Kawasaki-MAN B&W 7S60ME-C8.2 diesel engine
Complement 29 people
Classification Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK)
Country of registration Panama
This vessel adopts Kawasaki's uniquely developed bow shape called SEA-Arrow, which significantly improves propulsion performance by minimizing bow wave resistance.
The main engine powering the vessel is an energy-efficient, electronically-controlled, ultra-long-stroke, two-stroke low-speed diesel engine. In addition, the Kawasaki rudder bulb system with fins (RBS-F) and the semi-duct system with contra fins (SDS-F) contribute to reducing fuel consumption.
In order to satisfy new restrictions on SOx emissions which will be implemented by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2020**, the vessel includes a set of SOx scrubber at the exhaust gas outlets of the main engine and the power generation engine. With this system, general fuel oil can be used continuously after the regulations are tightened, without the need of switching to low sulfur fuel oil.
Four independent cargo tanks are installed in the cargo holds for carrying liquefied petroleum gas. The tanks are designed to provide optimal thermal insulation and absorb low-temperature contraction.
The cargo tanks are made with special cryogenic steel for loading LPG with a minimum temperature of –46°C. The tanks are wrapped in urethane foam for thermal insulation.
The vessel is designed to be fully compliant with the New Panamax requirements and is able to navigate the newly expanded Panama Canal, which was completed in June 2016.
*1 SOx scrubber: an exhaust gas cleaning system, which removes SOx (sulfur oxide).
*2 SOx emission control: Currently, SOx emission restrictions in North American and European emission control areas (ECAs) limit sulfur content in fuels to 0.1% or less. Starting on January 1, 2020, new regulations will require that ships operating in all other parts of the world achieve fuel sulfur content levels of 0.5% or less, or alternatively, use equipment to reduce SOx in exhaust gases to an equivalent level.

15th anniversary of the reconstructed Nizhny Novgorod Cathedral Mosque
Nizhny Novgorod Cathedral Mosque built at the beginning of the 20th century ceased to be a place to gather Muslims in the years of Soviet power. Its building with destroyed minaret and dome was used for social needs up until 1991 when Muslim community won it back in its possession. Thus reconstructed with a newly built minaret the mosque opened its doors to Nizhny Novgorod Muslims once more 15 years ago. To mark this event the Religious Board of Muslims for the Nizhny Novgorod Region held a series of festive events including academic conference Islamic Institutions in Contemporary Russia
Representatives of Muslim clergy from Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Nizhnekamsk, city officials, leading religious and public leaders along with over a hundred mosque-goers came to honour all the activists of the Muslim community who maintained the reconstruction works. One of the most important events of the anniversary day was the academic conference Islamic Institutions in Contemporary Russia held in the building of the Cathedral Mosque.
The conference gathered religious leaders of Muslim organizations of the European part of Russia and leading scholars and experts on Islam from Moscow, Kazan, Yaroslavl and Nizhny Novgorod. It opened with the presentation of several newly issued books of the Publishing House Medina. Among them a book Azan over the Volga River that tells the story of Nizhny Novgorod Cathedral mosque and the people who kept it up throughout the years of its existence, quarterly Islam in Contemporary World: National and International Aspects, and a collection of lectures of the Third Annual Academic Conference Faizkhanov Readings.
The participants of the conference spoke on the problems of contemporary system of religious education in Russia and possible ways of solving them taking into account previous experience of Russian Muslims and of some of the Muslim states. After the discussion they came to the conclusion that the institution of religious education is the one to determine further development of Russian Muslim community upon the whole. Thus it apparently should combine the scholastic pattern of Muslim education of the 19th — early 20th century and jadidism traditions with their openness to innovations in the world humanitarian sciences.

Dolphins Keep Me Safe In Dreams by Ed Boxall
Dolphins rescue child from nightmare!
Dolphins are the dream-state ocean-going heroes, who, in Ed Boxall’s new book, Dolphins Keep Me Safe In Dreams, rescue the little girl from her terrifying, eyes-wide-open, night fears. HOT’s Zelly Restorick went along to meet Ed in the Old Town to find out more about his latest creation.
Illustration by Ed Boxall
I met local author and illustrator, Ed Boxall at the shop, Made in Hastings on the High Street, where he was launching his new book. I’d gone along for a possible HOT interview, but discovered that Ed would be performing his story to a live audience – and although I chatted to him, I ended up saying that I wanted to come home and write something in response to his engaging and innovative performance.
Playing his own music CD as a soundtrack to the narration of his new picture book poem, he simultaneously ran a roll of acetate across an old fashioned overhead projector, flowing images from his book onto a light circle on the back wall of the shop. Seated amongst an audience of children, parents and unaccompanied adults, I wasn’t alone in feeling it was an enchanting, engaging experience.
A self-confessed control freak, preferring to work alone, where all the decisions are his, Ed successfully managed to juggle every one of his musical, storytelling, projectionist, reading and entertaining balls without dropping a single one. It’s clear that every performance would be different, depending on both Ed’s delivery and his audience, just as the reading and interpretation of his picture book poem by every reader will be uniquely different.
Books generally have a story with a beginning and an end, Ed explains – and generally there is some adversity to overcome. Well, in this story, he says, the adversity is out of the way pretty swiftly – and then it’s off into a dreamscape, protected by the love and care of the dolphins, who accompany the young dreamer. It’s a book for all ages, as children are not the only ones who can lie awake with wide-open eyes, imagining things that make them too scared to sleep.
The multi-levelled performance was definitely one of a kind. On this occasion, Ed stuck with the rhyme of his words, reading the poem from his book, but in future tellings, he said, he may free himself up from that restriction. And then, although it will be the same story, it will always be told in a different way to different people with no two performances being the same.

And the book has an uplifting positive piece of advice for its readers. “The dolphins guide us home to the final message”, writes Ed on his website, “that there is a way out of fear; there is the power of good in the night; there’s a way home.”
Lots of talented creative, innovative people here in this tiny mini-world of Hastings and St Leonards on Sea. Ed’s one of them.

Noah Falck (Poetry) | Buffalo, NY
noahfalck@gmail.com
http://noahfalck.org/
Noah Falck is the author of the full-length collection Snowmen Losing Weight (BatCat Press, 2012), and several chapbooks including Celebrity Dream Poems (Poor Claudia, 2013), Life As A Crossword Puzzle (Open Thread, 2009) & Measuring Tape for the Midwest (Pavement Saw, 2008). His poems have appeared widely in journals such as Boston Review, Columbia Poetry Review, Conduit, Crazyhorse, Denver Quarterly, Kenyon Review, Washington Square Review, & Poets.org. Originally from Dayton, Ohio, he now lives in Buffalo, New York, where he curates the Silo City Reading Series in an abandoned grain silo and works as education director at Just Buffalo Literary Center.
Snowmen Losing Weight (BatCat 2012)
“I hear Whitman in the poems in Snowmen Losing Weight. But there’s more than a yawping echo here, there’s this huge tenderness and intellect that allows us to see “faces beautifully obscene in the sun,” a party’s worth of strangeness and play, and a lingering darkness.”
– Nick Sturm at Coldfront Magazine
“Everyone wants Snowmen Losing Weight, I know. And I do mean to share my enthusiasm for this book with you. I want to give it to you, like an ice cream cone on the street in the middle of a rapidly warming day. I want you to feel the cloud of a snowman on your tongue. But mostly I want you to read these poems and be double-taken by them.”
– Jake Adam York at Kenyon Review
“I see so much urgent seeing in these poems, seeing that wrestles between its desire to share itself and its confusion about whether to share itself with what it sees or into one special other set of eyes.”
– Mike Young at HTML Giant
“Whether “vanity plates from Michigan,” soda machines filled with Mountain Dew, or stoned teenagers munching on potato chips purchased from a gas station, Falck’s poems orient readers within a blue-collar, American universe that reminds one of settings popularized by singers of the 80s, such as John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen.”
– Joshua Ware, author of Homage to Homage to Homage to Creeley
“Noah Falck’s world is both the world I live in, and the world I wished I lived in. And maybe, that’s what’s most beautiful about Snowmen, that it brings those two a little closer together while still recognizing the essential difference between them.”
– Vouched Books
Snowmen Losing Weight may be one of the best-designed poetry books I’ve ever seen and the poems contained therein are equally badass.”
–Ryan Ridge, author of Hunters & Gamblers

Good News for South Florida
Kelley, Fulton & Kaplan 18.02.2016 Foreclosure in Florida
Foreclosures and delinquent mortgages hit impressive lows in 2015, both nationally and locally. South Florida saw major declines in both ratings, yet the area still lags behind national trends.
CoreLogic reported that the region saw greater declines in foreclosure rates than the nation as a whole from November 2014 to November 2015. The percentage of Broward County homes in foreclosure decreased by 2.01 percent, dropping from 4.56 percent to just 2.55 percent. Miami-Dade also saw a decrease of 1.68 percent. In Palm Beach County, the drop was more significant, from 3.49 to 1.95 percent.
These falling rates can be largely attributed to a stronger economy. Although the state of Florida still has a higher rate of foreclosure than the national average of 1.17 percent, this past year was certainly a step in the right direction. Assuming the economy continues to recover, South Florida residents can remain hopeful that matching the national average is on the horizon.
Mortgage Delinquency Rates
Also revealed in the report is a considerable drop in mortgage delinquency rates in the area, determined by the amount of loans which are a minimum of 90 days delinquent. The rate of delinquent mortgages in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties dropped 3.21, 2.79 and 3.42 percent, respectively. Palm Beach County still holds the lowest delinquency rates out of the three counties, with 4.75 percent. Though it’s a vast improvement, it still remains above the national average of 3.25 percent.
The area has the strengthened economy to thank for these improvements, as well. Additionally, stricter lending standards have also aided in dropping these rates. With stricter standards, borrowers who are likely to end up in delinquency are rejected early on.
These dropping rates are great news for homeowners. This trend promises a rise in property values that South Florida has been long awaiting. However, not everyone is out of the woods yet. If you’re struggling with a foreclosure or mortgage delinquency, set up a consultation with a Foreclosure Attorney in Boynton Beach today so that you can enjoy a bright future, too.

Impact of Parenting Style on Children’s Academic Achievement
http://manuscript.advancejournals.org/uploads/9d2d14e6d7efa5ff623a2c212d3adc19d691bbf385e89dcaa7057644d88ba26f/Manuscript/8647.pdf
September 2, 2016 · Volume 2 Issue 2
The purpose of the present study was to explore the impact of parenting style on children’s academic performance. In order to achieve this, 110 students whose age ranging between 20 and 22 years were taken as sample, among them 55 were male and 50 were female. The Bangla translated version of Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) was used for data collection. Pearson product moment correlation was carried out to see the relations of PARQ-M and PARQ-F with academic performance of children. Correlation analysis indicated that academic result has positive correlation with authoritative parenting style for both parents (Mother, r=.790** p<0.01; Father, r=.769** p<0.01). That is authoritative parenting style facilitates to increase academic performance of children.

Barriers of Inclusive Education in Bangladesh Making Inclusion a Reality
http://manuscript.advancejournals.org/uploads/5c24ee7408e736d63e6df12cd9acf5bfef6648d4bcf68f9a4fba473bb4bae70e/Manuscript/8629.pdf
The purpose of this research is to identify barriers of inclusive education in Bangladesh context. Inclusive education is an approach of educating students with special educational needs. Under the inclusion model, students with special needs spend most or all of their time with students without disability. The research involves interviewing professionals who worked in the area of promoting inclusive education. After interviewing samples some barriers are identified. Those are- negative social attitudes, lack of teachers training, limited resources, accessibility issue, lack of awareness among people, faulty policy making and problems in administration, institutional power distance and lack of team work. We can work on these barriers to ensure education for all in a true meaning.
The Origins of Japanese Harakiri

July 12, 2016 · Volume 2 Issue 2
Harakiri was a ritual practise by the samurai class. To die one day is a natural phenomenon but dying with dignity was very important and death was an important occasion to make self-honour. It was popular in the history of Japan, samurai committed hara-kiri at the death of his master, husband, defeat in the war, not getting one’s love etc. Saigo Takamori who led rebellion against the government committed hara-kiri when got defeated in the war. In the 1970 harakiri was committed by Yukio Mishima one of most famous writer in Japan, with perfect techiques and blow which had surprised the world.

Yes, the Rust Belt demands an answer. But does anyone know what it is?
This WaPo piece by James Hohmann makes a strong point that one hears a good deal these days: the Hillary Clinton campaign failed to provide hope that her administration could bring good jobs back to key swing states like Ohio, while the Trump campaign succeeded in hammering that message home.
The piece focuses on a foresightful memo written in May by David Betras, a Democrat operative in Ohio, warning that Ms. Clinton was getting beat on the jobs message:
“More than two decades after its enactment, NAFTA remains a red flag for area voters who rightly or wrongly blame trade for the devastating job losses that took place at Packard Electric, GM, GE, numerous steel companies, as well as the firms that supplied those major employers,” Betras…tried to explain to the Clinton high command. “Thousands of workers in Ohio … continue to qualify for Trade Readjustment Act assistance because their jobs are being shipped overseas.”
“Look, I’m as progressive as anybody, okay? But people in the heartland thought the Democratic Party cared more about where someone else went to the restroom than whether they had a good-paying job,” he complained. “‘Stronger together’ doesn’t get anyone a job.”
“The messages can’t be about ‘job retraining.’ These folks have heard it a million times and, frankly, they think it’s complete and total bulls**t,” he continued.“Talk about policies that will incentivize companies to repatriate manufacturing jobs. Talk about infrastructure … The workers we’re talking about don’t want to run computers; they want to run back hoes, dig ditches (and) sling concrete block. … Somewhere along the line we forgot that not everyone wants to be white collar.”
Like I said, that’s a perfectly smart, defensible rap that in hindsight looks awfully prophetic. But something very big and very important is missing from Betras’ warning and Hohmann’s analysis: neither Democrats nor Republicans really know what to do to help these workers and their communities.
Trump was either devious or smart enough–choose your adjective–to pretend he had/has a solution and to successfully sell a nostalgic vision to these voters. Frankly, I’m not sure many believed him as much as they didn’t see much reason for going with her and figured they’d give him a chance. If he fails to deliver, as I suspect he will, they’ll throw him out when they get the chance.
Hillary Clinton was a lot more fundamentally honest about this issue of bringing the factory jobs back to the swing states in the Rust Belt. Instead, she told a more complicated story about reshaping globalization through better trade deals and investing in advanced manufacturing, and yes, retraining workers. Precisely the stuff Betras correctly said would not resonate.
But as long as we’re being honest, we must admit that neither side has a strong, convincing plan to restore high-value added jobs to the many communities that have lost much of their manufacturing base.
We’re much better, as Democrats, at policies that help the poor. Higher minimum wages and strong work supports like the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits can combine to make what would be a $15,000 job a $30,000 job (e.g., raise the minimum from $7.25 to $12 and add $5K of refundable tax credits; sprinkle liberally [sic] with affordable health care).
But when it comes to pushing back on the impact of globalization–to “repatriating manufacturing jobs” as Betras called for–we’re at much more of a loss.
This must change, and not just for political reasons (though that should be a strong motivator for politicos), but for policy reasons.
The deeply flawed premise through which elites have long operated is that trade is a net plus for everyone as long as the winners compensate the losers. But in the real world, the winners both fail to do so and use their winnings to buy tax and deregulatory policies that further screw the losers.
I’ve studied this problem for years and don’t have anything like a complete answer. I do know that we must start by lowering our economically large, persistent, and distortionary trade deficit, especially to the extent that it is pumped up by other countries manipulating savings and exchange rates. Also, Betras is right about a robust infrastructure program, but that’s a temporary fix.
But I would strongly urge my colleagues in the progressive policy analytic community (and the foundations that support them) to move this problem–the loss of good, middle-class jobs in significant swaths of the nation–to the top of their agendas. We’ve gone too long without an answer to this one, and the consequences are not at all pretty.

No, Hillary was more dishonest than Trump. She threw the occasional bone to displaced workers, but she supported TPP before she was against it, “the gold standard of trade agreements”. She clearly stood for more globalization and immigration. “We’re not going to stop trading with 95% of the world.” According to her, trade and globalization was an inexorable force.” This blog is dead wrong that nothing can be done.
Just one example, UTC, owner of Carrier, is the 9th largest contractor of the government. That’s enormous leverage. Even without that leverage, the government could stop them cold from moving the factory to Mexico. Anything and everything should be on the table. Everything from special A/C tariffs to nationalization. Unions can’t organize boycotts due to Taft Hartley, but people can. How many picket lines outside Walmart or Best Buy saying buy American, boycott Carrier, save jobs in Indiana, would it take to hurt sales and negate the gains from cheap Mexican labor. While we’re at it, why not boycott, divest, and sanction all Mexican goods due to substandard wages and lack of full labor rights. It’s really easy to keep factories open, but if you can’t do that, you can’t do anything. In Germany, it could never happen. If you don’t know why, you haven’t done your homework. Saying Democrats don’t have a plan may be true, but it’s also pathetic. They don’t have a plan because they don’t want to have a plan. Yes some are too intellectually lazy to see what other countries do, or what labor unions before Taft-Hartley could do, or what common sense and decency says you must do.
timm0 says:
It boils down to whether or not you’re a “pragmatic politician” or a “leader” (at least a person who can be perceived as a leader). In truth, Trump is probably just a blowhard, but that’s not relevant yet.
The reason Obama was elected was because he said essentially what Trump has said – but since Obama had no track record as a career political hack and had the courage to say he’d take stands against the powerful on behalf of the powerless, he won (and then, sadly, immediately sold out to the Clinton mafia by staffing his Cabinet with made members of the gang). Trump, though grotesque, had credibility because he dared say things that upset the establishment (while offending many others, too).
Clinton’s most ardent, self-proclaimed (and most damning) “strength” was being pragmatic. As her track record of terrible mistakes has shown, “pragmatism” isn’t correlated to intellect in any way at all. Pragmatism is laziness. It’s an excuse to rationalize doing nothing. And it’s why, despite the screeches of the Clinton fans, a non-pragmatic leader like Sanders would’ve crushed Trump in the general election. The time for pragmatism, as you’ve said, is long over.
Clearly, the game is rigged for those [international as well as US-based] billionaires and political influence peddlers. Since Clinton was clearly a power-brokering political hack for the billionaire class, anything she said had no credibility. Sanders was a credible opponent of the status quo. And based on the results of this election, it seems that that is just about all you need to be to win against lifetime, self-indulgent politicians.
Denis Drew says:
“neither Democrats nor Republicans really know what to do to help these workers and their communities.”
REALLY SO HARD? EVER HEAR OF UNIONS? ORGANIZING? MAKE ORGANIZING A MATTER OF SIMPLE CHOICE — NOT RUNNING AN IMPOSSIBLE GAUNTLET — AT THE STATE LEVEL???
EVER HEAR OF GERMANY — OR CONTINENTAL EUROPE — OR CANADA (or French Canada where they have something called centralized bargaining — but I digress)?
High enough union density and unions become the economic cop on every corner: sniffing out for-profit-so-called-colleges, snuffing out $100,000 HepC prices for drugs that cost $150 to manufacture, insisting on raising income tax for over $2 mill incomes to 90% (thereby getting back maybe 10% of the 20% of income going to the top 1% — Jimmy Hoffa would definitely support).
Somebody just has to start the state by progressive state movement to make union busting a felony — to fill in for the NLRB which by design (!) has no enforcement power.
YOU MAY NOT DRIVE A BACKHOE BUT AS LONG AS ANY TWO PEOPLE CAN EARN $1600 A WEEK STACKING SHELVES THEY CAN MAKE IT. THE MONEY IS THERE SOMEWHERE:
http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2016/11/america-is-not-always-like-the-rest-of-the-world.html
“I calculated the growth in real median incomes vs real GDP per capita from about 1980 to 2010. If the two had grown at the same rate, the bar would be 100%- In fact, median post-tax US income only grew by about a quarter of the pace that real GDP per head did- quite unlike other countries. ”
(my rounded off translation of bar chart)
US 25%
Canada 70%
France 75%
UK 125%
Spain 125%
Norway 145%
Fed min wage was $11 almost half a cent ago in 1968 — double the per capita income ago. Bottom 45% of our workforce takes home 10% of overall income — top 1% takes 20% (down from 10% past).
LIKE I SAID: THE MONEY IS THERE SOMEWHERE.
yastreblyansky says:
Unions play a central role in Germany’s continued manufacturing power, but they do it (cooperating with management, because management in Germany is not insane) with the help of a huge and ceaseless government investment in—-RETRAINING. (Not by rejecting “globalization” as if that was an option, but by working to control it.)
You are 100% wrong. It’s the law in Germany forcing management and unions to work together. German management is otherwise just as insane (see VW for proof). In Germany unions have a say in running the company (though less than 50%) because it’s the law. (see “Were You Born On the Wrong Continent”). In Germany there is no at will employment, which has some good and bad effects, but definitely strengthens workers who are permanent employees (vs. contract workers). Germany does reject globalization to the extent that factories don’t close, not least because they can’t be closed and relocated. The biggest globalization effect Germany accepts is exporting goods while hoarding the surplus, adding to continued global economic recession. They also rely on immigrant labor because their population is falling, similar to Japan. Except Japan rejects immigration (and severely restricts access to domestic markets by other countries both by law and cultural norms).
The 1% are not easily giving up an additional 10% of national income. They run things. Their interests are allied with the top 10 to 2% who also gained 10% more of national income. Hillary Clinton’s additional 5% tax on the rich ($5 million plus in income) would have reduced at most (do the math, what’s 5% of 20%?) 1% so the suffering 1% would not be left with a mere 19% of national income.
Even Bernie Sanders didn’t come close to raising marginal tax rates to Eisenhower levels good through 1960 (the 90%) Picketty proposes an equivalent 80% at $1 million in his book, but unfortunately everyone focused on the wealth tax instead.
Procopius says:
Even when I was a kid, before Taft-Hartly, lots of people didn’t trust union leadership. Throughout the ’50s the Teamsters were derided as tools of The Mob. Why do you think the Republicans were able to get Taft-Hartley passed? Why do 31 states have “right to freeload on the unions” laws? My father was amazed to discover, after the company he worked for unionized, that in fact unions are good for management as well as workers. Up to that time he had always opposed unions. You can’t just wave a hand and poof unions are going to appear. The Republicans, tne NMA, the Chambers of Commerce, the right-wing think tanks, the elite, have been selling the idea that unions are bad for 250 years. At the end of the 18th Century governments had to impose horrific punishments to try to prevent workers from organizing, and they were only partly successful. At the end of the 20th Century they don’t have to, any more. Workers don’t have faith that the union makes us strong. How are we going to revive that?
Anonne says:
Conditions have to hit rock bottom before people stop buying the bs about jobs being hampered by unions. It will have to get much worse before people put aside their fears of socialism to get back to a reasonable position where workers bargain for more of the profit that comes from their work. The problem here is that corporate management has come to see outsized compensation as not just possible but an entitlement. It is going to take a revolt of some sort because the docile workers of the US are trained to withstand a lot in the name of “freedom.”
Benoit Essiambre says:
You think stronger unions are going to make more companies want to open new factories!? The money might be there but stronger union is only going to cause it to hide itself away further.
How about a word somewhere, anywhere for the one thing (the only thing) that has the potential to resurrect the connection between higher productivity and higher wages in the 21st century: re-inventing labor organizing at the STATE level?
I presume that states may double up on federal protection of organizing a collective bargaining unit — just as states may add (not subtract) from the minimum wage and/or work safety rules …
… except that there is no FEDERAL protection of organizing (no civil fine, no criminal sanction, no recourse like mandating an election upon finding of unlawful interference, it IS against the law). There is placebo protection for organiz-ers: after waiting years they can get their jobs back only to mostly be fired again for “something else” (with no union protection).
Which brings up the CONSTITUTIONAL factor: a First Amendment right to associate commercially.
Federal preemption may bar states from making up their own labor organizing setup …
… except for farm workers who are left out — not because of anything in the written words of the federal law but because FDR (lied?) and told Congress the law would not apply to them to get it passed — so on the strength of that …
… with a FUNDAMENTAL constitutional right at stake — federal law cannot force that right down a road that is impassable. Federal law cannot preempt something with nothing. Even the 6% union density in private business would not if most of those unions had to start from scratch in today’s conditions.
America has to learn at a basic cultural level that labor markets are just like any commodity market — that it is unfair and unethical for one side in an inherently adversarial process (ALL markets are inherently adversarial processes) to muscle the other out the maximum price the buyer will pay (and has to learn that the REAL buyer in a labor market is the ultimate consumer).
Now, suppose in rush to preempt or in a pang or conscience Congress should make union busting a felony — would that bar states from doing the same or disempower similar state legislation? Wouldn’t that be more like states paralleling bank robbery prohibitions?
Answer may be that even if there were no federal or state organizing setup (prescriptions for certification, etc.) — even if the ONLY pertinent federal law made muscling collective bargaining a crime, there would be no reason states could not mirror that also.
I would go so far as assert that as long as the federal setup remains a road to nowhere that states can make their own certification rules (just like with farm workers) — until and unless the fed comes up with an organizing setup that actually protects the First Amendment right to collectively bargain — INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY BLOCKING IT.
No, strengthening the right to organize is not the answer. 1) Conditions have changed to make organizing much more difficult and 2) It turns out not to be a necessary condition to strengthen labor.
One could write a book delineating the above two points, so I shall try and succinctly here point the way.
1) Why are factories easier to organize? Everyone is in one place. It’s also easier to see the power of organizing a factory. Employees and employers know this implicitly. Factories that were organized, as well as coal miners, steel workers, and longshoremen, concentrated labor in large numbers at central locations. This makes it more difficult to replace those workers. Our service economy doesn’t work that way. Walmart stores average 280 workers per store. The now famous Carrier factories in Indiana employ 1,400 workers. A MacDonald’s has about 15 employees, but 800,000 total in company owned and franchises combined. It’s fairly easy to replace 15 disgruntled employees. Generally you try to replace anyone with a tendency to agitate in the workplace before it spreads to other employees.
2) $15/hour is now being phased in for New York and California (those states combined equaling 15% of the U.S. economy by GDP). This was done without unionizing the fast food chains, Walmart, or countless other low wage employers. It was done with crucial existing union support of existing unions. It was done through a legislative measure, not contract negotiation. It was done with other political considerations in mind, leverage from cities passing similar measures, and Democratic control of legislative and executive branches of government, which followed fairly recent Republican administrations and split legislatures.
The way forward: Campaign for Democrats, protect existing unions, and union jobs, press for legislated worker benefits, end exempt status, mandate paid vacation, paid sick leave, government paid childcare, path to single payer universal healthcare, end exploitation of immigrant labor, especially employer sponsorship requirement.
Pass a law, no factory closings for cheaper labor, or lax environmental restrictions. Done.

Smith,
Do you have something against (I’m sure you don’t; just a way of putting it) employees simply being able to organize a collective bargaining unit if they want to — if they feel like it? Don’t you realize that ownership’s breaking the back of any such effort is a strange anomaly, not found in the rest of the first world? Strange. Ownership doesn’t even want to anyplace else (in the first world); it’s just not in the culture.
So you and I can argue about the efficacy of protecting that wish (also a First Amendment right) — but employees should just simply (there’s that word again) be able or bargain effectively (meaning collectively) if they feel like it — INSISTING ON THE SAME FAIRNESS IN THE LABOR MARKET THAT WE INSIST ON IN EVERY OTHER MARKET. 🙂
Factories also made it easier to fight unions. Don’t you know about Henry Ford’s “Service Department?” Haven’t you ever heard of General Motors “Black Legion?” Not to mention the organizations outside the factories like the Pennsylvania Coal and Iron Police and the Pinkertons. That’s one of the reasons why it’s so important for the Fed to raise interest rates when unemployment goes down to the point that the reserve army of the unemployed might become depleted, like now.
Lowering the trade deficit is a theoretical no-brainer, but is infrastructure investment really only a temporary fix? Question, not assertion.
My operating concept – courtesy of JMK – has always been that public investment (+ insuring the top executives don’t pocket all the $) would free up the capital glut and cause our economy to spring green sprouts and world peace and stuff.
Jared Bernstein says:
I was being a bit fast and loose there. We can be sure that infrastructure creates some jobs for laborers while the road, bridges, ports, water systems, etc. are being fixed. But these are time-limited programs.
Beyond that, there is some evidence that infrastructure investment can boost productivity growth and that in turn can lead to faster overall growth, more jobs, tighter labor market. EG, fix a road, supply chains become more efficient, generate more demand.
But there are a lot of steps to that part of the story and they’re less certain than the job that lasts the length of the project.
Aside from the temporary or limited term job, and long range advantage of better infrastructure, you’re not explicitly citing the immediate and potentially long lasting beneficial spillover effects. Having a full employment economy creates a virtuous cycle that can continue after initial stimulus creates momentum. Not a few notable economists predicted a return to the great depression economy after WWII. There was a short lived recession, but by and large, the make work type functions of war economy were transferred to civilian production. Obviously, there could be a problem when you reach the last bridge that needs rebuilding, but I think we can rebuild that bridge when we come to it.
Flex says:
If properly planned, by the time the last bridge needs rebuilding, the first bridge does too.
Watermelonpunch says:
I think the first bridge will need fixing long before the last one is rebuilt for several cycles. Okay I live in ne Pennsylvania. Ha. Where just seeing with my own eyes it’s pretty obvious that it would take a long time for us to catch back up to a maintenance level.
Yeah the bulk might be temporary… But after the past 8 years I think people would consider it a golden age just to have a decent boost to the job market with BOnus! A commute without potholes that can swallow a miata whole.
It is about investing. Investing where and how does this affect people?
The reason to invest is because we want US residents to gain the advantages of an economy – work, a decent place in which to live, now and ongoing. Sounds like good reasons to invest.
Investing eksewhere, not in the US, sends a different signal and plainly does not offer work or help maintain, build or sustain, or improve the places in which people live.
So the public’s goals should be obvious leading to better public policies, one hopes.
Do our trading ‘partners’ share the same views of what they have as goals? Probably, and this ought to be the basis of trade deficit talks that assist in accomplishing the public’s goals, now and ongoing.
Whops. I meant *ensuring*, not insuring. Ensuring that all the $ doesn’t just go to the top executives. Embarrassing! 🙂
And thanks for the reply.
urban legend says:
A truly robust infrastructure program is not temporary except in a theoretical sense because (1) the deficiencies allowed to fester for over a generation are so huge that it will take over a generation just to catch up — imagine, for example, how long it will take to bring our urban and long-distance transportation systems into even minimal equality with those of other advanced counties (or even Uzbeckistan, for cryin’ out loud); (2) the deficiency level itself needs a permanent fix — more of our economy, very simply, should on a permanent basis be devoted to maintaining and continuing to modernize our infrastructure an adequate level.
A robust infrastructure program, with its implications for trying to reach full employment (of the genuine variety) by generating more demand for labor and pushing incomes and aggregate demand upward, would do a hell of a lot for the “Rustbelt.” Unfortunately, the Clinton campaign never made that case in its all-important mass advertising; all they did was appeal to the female vote by showing what a jerk Trump is. A diligent effort in informative and persuasive advertising to share an economic vision, and to attack mercilessly the platform of the Republicans, would have gotten Clinton easily more than enough votes to win all the close swing states. Somebody made the huge strategic miscalculation that the only thing that mattered was shifting suburban women.
emptywheel says:
What do you make of the Chattanooga broadband story?
As it is, we have disinvested in infrastructure because we’ve been spending that money elsewhere (on our real industrial policy, which is making expensive F-35s that don’t fly, as well as on war generally). But it also seems like we’re just struggling to fund the infrastructure that needs to happen to keep bridges from falling, not investing in the kind of infrastructure that can turn Appalachian towns (so presumably also Rust Belt towns) into thriving cities again. Part of that, of course, is a hands off approach to Silicon Valley, and an emphasis on IP protection at the expense of policies that foster more growth.
I thought that many times too. Thanks for bringing that up we all should be. Sometimes I just can’t get past the holes in the road to think of building not just stopping things getting worse and that’s the tragedy.
Let’s see a link to the “Chattanooga story.”
Peter K. says:
I voted for Sanders in the primary and Clinton in the general. Trump’s rhetoric was focused directly at these marginal voters about how things need to change. Hillary’s message was that things are pretty good and we just need to tinker. It was an establishment message. Even Obama’s message was about hope and change. People feel that things can’t go on as they are and they are mad at elites who have been selling them lies about how globalization will bring us utopia. The Democratic establishment became complacent and smug (not everyone!).
I think you and Dean Baker have been ahead of the curve on this. Prophetic.
Susan Hall says:
Is there any way to get to a reduction of the 40-hour work week (to something like 35 or 36) without significantly reducing salaries and while maintaining benefit levels? If the total amount of work to be done is being significantly lessened by automation, this would serve to spread the remaining work among more people, thereby creating jobs.
On an unrelated note, for those in the gig economy, or with multiple part-time jobs, what about a “shared security” system in which employers (or contractors) must contribute benefits on a pro-rated fractional basis for every hour of work done by an employee (or contract worker)? See description here:
http://democracyjournal.org/magazine/37/shared-security-shared-growth/?page=all
(I know, likely not happening in a Trump administration…)
Read what happened when initial 44 hour, and then 40 hour work weeks were mandated by law. Of course you can reduce hours while maintaining salaries and benefits. There are many ways.
1) Tell workers they only have to work 35 hours. This morale boosting stress easing exercise in enlightened management has been shown to significantly add to productivity thus costing employers nothing. See parts of historic US and present day Sweden.
2) Just pay them the same for less work. This will cause a little bit of inflation. But it won’t add12.5% (5 hours of 40) to the inflation rate because labor accounts for a fraction of the cost of things, even in our service economy. Take a conservative approach and allocate 1/3. Now we’re down to 4%. Phase it in over 4 years, it’s 1%. Take some ill gotten profit margin the 1% has stolen from labor over the past 30 years, your answer is less than 1.
3) You could allocate yearly productivity gains to reduced hours, generally at 1 to 2%, so that in five to 10 years, voila, 35 hour work week with no reduction. Keep in mind how much of the productivity gains over the last 15 years went to higher wages. Zero, nada, bukus. (unless you’re in the 1%)
4) One expects decreased unemployment from 35 work weeks (though not exactly an elixir, see France). Thus aside from spreading wages more evenly among workers even at the possible cost of increased inflation, less unemployment could have other beneficial side effects on the economy, thus mitigating costs.
5) Uhmm, some combination of the above, and probably some paths of which I’m unaware. Keep in mind many jobs requiring 40 hours bear no relation to the work done or goals accomplished. That’s also a facet of the service economy. The consultant may get less billable hours, but is 5 hours more per week really improving the quality of his marketing presentation?
Jan Rooth says:
Is there any reason to think the supply of good paying jobs will ever return to a level that allows the bulk of the population to live a decent life? We can’t all flip burgers or work at Wallmart for half of a living wage. What happens when self-driving vehicles are perfected? Say goodbye to long-haul trucking as a profession. Say goodbye to driving for Uber or Lyft or your local taxi company. That’s 8 million decent jobs gone there. Same will begin happening with more routine white-collar jobs over the next couple of decades. There will probably always be jobs only humans can do, but will there be anywhere near enough to sustain our current model?
We need to be doing more than putting a band-aid on this issue. We need to be rethinking the future of work and the future of income.
No we barely have to rethink anything. You’re under the illusion make work makes up a small sector of our work force. Let’s start with the bloated financial services sector. People move money around and speculate without knowing what their doing, or obtaining results better than chance. That’s 17% of the economy. The coffee shop business is make work. You could make coffee at home but you don’t. You’re already paying $3.50 for a cup of coffee, so the incremental gain from eliminating people would mean nothing. Yes ATMs eliminated most bank tellers. But that happened at the same time the financial sector exploded, and then imploded. Automation is nothing new, look up the Allen Sherman song. If we already survived an agricultural revolution that left only 3% of the population working in agriculture, industrialization that wiped out craftsman, automation that already relegated factory workers to a small fraction of cost input, I don’t robots and more automation are revolutionary.
The economic sickness blamed on automation is really attributable to income distribution and lack of opportunity, and hoarding of capital. Give people money and they will spend it, and other people will turn a profit on their spending, it matters not one cent if robots and computers do all the work. All that matters is ownership of the computers and robots. You just need to make everyone share.
We don’t need to rethink income, but rather income tax. It’s not actually rethinking, it’s restoring. Return to Eisenhower rates to make the country run like it once did. The alternative of Democratic half measures don’t work, and so you’re left with Trump.
reason says:
The shortage is not of potential work, it is of potential spending power. Somebody up above pointed out the continued good labor market after WWII. I think the secret was healthy balance sheets because of forced savings during war time. If you spread income and wealth around, it continues a healthy positive feedback cycle. If you concentrate income and wealth ever tighter you get a negative positive feedback cycle. That is why I seriously don’t think there is an alternative to redistribution and we need to fight to make the need for redistribution accepted by the bulk of the population (it will never be accepted by the 1% but they only have 1% of the votes). It is a bit like a predator/prey situation, if the predators become too strong, the whole system collapses. My solution is a basic income, but I think it is easier to sell if you call it a national dividend and phase it in.
The alternative to redistribution, a bad idea, is exactly what previously worked.
1) Marginal tax rates of up to 90% at $1 million, this not only takes away the money accumulating to the 1%, but takes away the incentive to attempt taking that income in the first place. They don’t need it, they can’t spend it, they just invest with it, and bid up prices, and keep money otherwise available to the masses.
2) Stop controlling prices and inflation with interest rate hikes. This causes economic slowdown, unemployment (reserve army of labor) and low productivity (due to both over capacity and cheap and available labor). Using the bludgeon of interest rates prevents promoting alternatives to control prices, such as competition, transparency, regulation (for natural monopolies like my cable/internet supplier), efficiency, and labor power. If all labor sectors are known unwilling concede price hikes which erode real wages, management will cease to escalate price levels. Likewise management must know the Fed won’t take them off the hook. It appears management plays a game where they are unaffected by recessions or slowdowns, don’t fear it, but labor is very much at risk. That needs to change. Small businesses are also more easily wiped out by downturns. That can be a net plus for larger businesses gaining market share.
This is not a new idea, Galbraith advocated price controls to achieve full employment in the late 1950s. I disagree with that solution, as I’ve pointed out the various alternatives.
That’s redistribution too. Just less obvious. The problem with less obvious is that most won’t realize what they’re getting ….. And won’t know what they have to lose.
Oh right that’s already happened. Doh.
Wrong. It is not redistribution to essentially put a cap on income, and collect needed revenue to balance the budget or reduce the deficit (deficit are good only for emergencies like our present sagging economy or wartime necessity)
But the main advantage is the conservative nature of higher marginal rates, it cuts the deficit. You are not raising taxes to redistribute money, you are raising taxes to balance the budget. Any redistributive effect is a side effect built in to a progressive rate structure. You are taxing the rich at higher rates because “that’s where the money is”, not some leftist socialist state controlled notion of redistribution. Likewise benefits are universal and not need based.
These are important distinctions.
The other main component of raising marginal rates is that you are not “raising” you are “restoring.” Again, important distinction, huge difference, not a social experiment, just a return to Eisenhower rates first implemented to pay for WWII. Depression era rate hikes were very large, but WWII was when the largest, most substantial hikes went into effect. The 1% submitted because the alternative was Hitler. But these rates stayed on the books for nearly 20 years, and erosion in the 1960s still left much higher rates through the 1980s. 1963, 90% at $1 million, 1986 50% $184,000 , 2013 33% $184,000 top rate 40% at $416,000
http://taxfoundation.org/sites/default/files/docs/fed_individual_rate_history_adjusted.pdf
Don’t propose cockamamie schemes that may or may not work. Promote tax regimes with a proven record of success. Those tax rates were a gift from Hitler and Tojo. Don’t throw them away so easily. Likewise the G.I. Bill is looked at as veterans benefit. It was not, because an entire generation was forced to take up arms and thereby qualified. The meaning of the G.I. Bill is a universal tuition benefit works. It covered tuition at Harvard plus a stipend because colleges had yet to gold plate their administration.
People readily understand the universal benefits of medicare, social security, public education, roads, highways, and bridges.
What they resent, and rightfully so, is redistribution, taxing one group to give exclusively to another, even if need based. Unemployment and medicare are insurance, available to all, understood as different than just giving money to the poor.
They do understand paying down debt, and taxing the rich more than others, and that Eisenhower with 90% was a conservative centrist.
Which path you take to more equitable society matters (see Communism). How you frame the road to freedom also matters. Thus stuff above comes from being aware of economic history of the United States. That stuff matters. Study it.
elkern says:
If I ran the zoo, said young Gerald McGroo,
I’d make a few changes, that’s just what I’d do.
1. Infrastructure: Smart public investment CAN have positive economic effects, long after the construction jobs are done. But what is “smart”? The US canal system seemed like a great idea in 1800, but it was obsolete by the time we built it (railroads won out). Yes, we should definitely fix all those crumbling bridges, etc, built by FDR, but that’s just past-due maintenance costs; the effect is prevention of decline, which is improvement only in relative terms. I’d suggest big public investment in: renewable energy, power transmission, education, health-care, and data access. (Nationwide fast data could be the modern equivalent of FDR’s very successful Rural Electrification).
2. Single-payer health care. ALL businesses would benefit; but the ownership class would have to bear higher taxes, so it’s “politically impractical”.
3. Revive progressive taxation; tax capital more & Labor less. Tax (all?) financial transactions; a little bit of friction would make those markets more stable anyway. (frictionless systems are generally heterostatic).
4. Increase Over-time pay percentages and decrease the standard work-week. Let the robots do the dirty, dangerous work, but make sure the profits get distributed better. Push businesses to hire more people to do less work. Yeah, they’ll scream, but they can’t vote (yet).
5. Tax Carbon ( + other pollution + non-renewable resource extraction).
6. Tax ocean transport. Mexico didn’t take all those jobs, China did.
That’s a start.
Clarence Signor says:
Spectacular. This is groundbreaking thinking that is results oriented.
Deplorable says:
It isn’t hard to understand, person. Are you playing a part in the deception, or do you really want to know? I’ll assume the latter in my following response because otherwise, this would do more harm than good.
The US trade deficit with China and Mexico has cost millions of American jobs. Millions. Multiple Millions.
Do you want to get philosophical? My advice to most people: Don’t take that bait. But in this case:
Most Americans were shielded from the results of imperialistic behavior by the press. Russia was always countering it, but that was ‘communism’ or ‘socialism’ vs. capitalism. This should have never reemerged after 1991. The US screwed this up.
Many small nations in history turned socialist to avoid US capitalistic imperialism.
What is the answer, if you are living in Cuba, to US imperialism in South America? Is imperialism better for the people than the alternative offered, Communism? It is a clouded picture even today.
We needed a reset. A real reset. Obama had no understanding of the limits of capitalism. Trump knows them first hand.
I don’t want to speak of the ‘wisdom’ of elections. I believe elections are very unwise. However, I can always look to the good outcome, the good side, the good result. I think we’re ok.
How many examples are there? Eastern Europeans and Russians grew unhappy with Czarist/capitalist control. They chose the violent rout to change. God bless their souls for their efforts…
This should never have ended up as a division. Rather, it should have been alternate views. It should have been resolved during Bush the first’s presidency.
We screwed up in moving Russia to a more capitalistic system. We screwed up in moving Russia to a more capitalistic system.
Yes, I said this 2 times. We screwed up! How to get along with Russia?
It isn’t hard. We elected a person that will make that happen.
You fools!
Basic income,negative income tax, demogrant…..whatever name we give it, its time to take it seriously.
It doesn’t create jobs direct;y, but it provides a safety net, and gives workers more flexibility.
Lee A. Arnold says:
People are going to have to get over the psychological needs to believe that we have to work for a living, and that money is a real measure of value. There is enough stuff in the world to give everyone a decent standard of living, and the only scarce thing remaining to haggle over is real estate.
I agree it’s a real problem. Infrastructure is time-limited (like housebuilding booms) and is debt-financed — or else it will be privatized to scoop-up user fees. Manufacturing will never come back: factory labor is shrinking globally; factories are now 78% automated and going towards 100%.
If we cannot depend long-term on 1. infrastructure/house construction or 2. manufacture, then the only big sector remaining to depend upon for sustainable jobs is 3. services. But services have low productivity rates and the labor force is nearly big enough already.
Artificial intelligence will take away 1/2 of white collar jobs. It doesn’t need to be Terminator robots (although they are on the way, too). AI just simulates most forms of “inductive” reasoning (as opposed to “deductive” inference, which simpler computers already do) and so it will be able to supplant most managerial and semi-creative decision-making in business.
So what remains, to grow economically? Thinkers in the 19th Century saw this problem coming, and two world wars and the mid-century Western middle-class boom only delayed the inevitable, and made it seem like a silly old science-fiction fear.
Meanwhile, China is about to step in as the arbiter of world trade. TPP is flawed but destroying it will give them the last push to get other countries on board, and not just in the Pacific area. In 5 years, there may be tribal villages in Africa with better cable and phone service than many US suburbs.
The US can join with the Brexiters to have a big flea market and swap old Beatles vinyl.
dwb says:
There is an answer to repatriating jobs, you just don’t like it and refuse to believe it. When you tax labor or impose labor costs, labor demand declines. More environmental regulations, more labor regulations, more zoning laws, higher taxes, none of these save the planet, help workers, or encourage affordable housing.
Free trade means that the risk and dirt merely gets shuffled to a different jurisdiction where the rules and regulations do not apply, onto workers willing to take the safety and health risk. Products still get built. Chinese manufacturing by the way is helped by a large amount of dirty coal. Every time you look at your solar panels, wonder how much coal was burned to make the silicon. While viewing this on you iPad, think of the 3000 workers chemically cleaning the screen of your iPad with n-hexane during manufacturing. The environment still gets dirty, and some workers still may be harmed. Just not US soil or US workers. Add to that all the No 2 fuel oil, jet fuel, and diesel fuel burned to transport the products back to the U.S.
If economists are going to have a voice, they need to be intellectually and brutally honest about the trade-offs of free trade, combined with higher environmental and labor costs. The US trade deficit cannot go on forever.
When inflation was high in the 1990s, the flip side of the trade deficit was that we imported unemployment and deflation. That was good then. Now, those forces are caustic – we can no longer afford to export employment.
As some point, we either fix what ails us, or foreigners stop buying our assets and the dollar crashes. We either need to curtail free trade, so that we can keep our environmental and labor laws, or we reduce regulations so that workers can compete. It sounds like under Trump we will get some of both.
My wife kids me that I think more long-term than most, but the suggestions I would recommend are not quick.
The first thing I’d consider doing is taxing capital gains as normal income (or even higher), and dividends at half (or even zero) rate. The market should be something people invest in to generate cash flow, rather than hope (or manipulate) stocks to fluctuate. A longer term benefit would be that executive boards would try to maximize dividends rather than stock prices, which requires actually understanding the business and investing in it. An even longer term benefit would be a reduced workforce, as people who have invested wisely decide they have enough income from their dividends to live comfortably. A reduced size of workforce will help those who are still working. I think small changes can have large impacts over time.
On the business side of things, I’d re-vamp property taxes to move toward a VAT. Eliminate all taxes on inventory. One of the reasons for off-shoring is to avoid paying taxes on unsold stock or work-in-process (WIP) in storage. One of the justifications for just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing is to avoid paying taxes on WIP. I don’t know the tax status of scrap (parts which can no longer be sold for whatever reason), but both the value of scrapped parts, and the cost of properly disposing of it, should be a tax credit. The other justification of JIT manufacturing is to reduce scrap costs. Okay, eliminate it. These two changes in tax laws will encourage businesses to return to the USA simply because the costs of logistics will become greater than the costs of local production.
For workers, lets put a federal law in place which requires, mandatory, payment of time-and-a-half overtime for all workers who work over 40 hours a week. No exceptions. If some workers don’t claim it, that’s fine. But anyone who is working more than 40 hours a week should be compensated for it, including CEOs. You can argue that this would encourage off-shoring, but I don’t think it would have that much of an impact on the off-shoring decisions. First, manufacturing workers on the assembly lines generally already have union contracts which require this. Second, the companies which are exploiting the workers in this fashion are generally companies who are unable to off-shore, McDonald’s and Walmart need people in the stores. Third, companies in between, who are exploiting white-collar employees are generally ones which need the experience and knowledge of those engineers/technicians/lawyers/production managers/etc. They cannot easily off-shore them, and that is where a lot of the middle-class works. This would also encourage employers to hire more people in order to avoid paying over-time, so some jobs would open up.
Next, national, single-payer, health care. And the way to achieve this is not to ask the congress to support it, but a concentrated effort at showing corporations how much this would reduce their operating costs. Start with the big corporations, if you get them on board because it removes a 10% budget item, you will get some powerful allies. For the middle-size businesses, you need to show them how much easier it will be to hire employees, temporary or permanent, if the business didn’t have to offer a health-care package. The businesses which currently are small enough to not offer health insurance would also benefit through the improved health of their employees. If you can sell it to the businesses, the rest of the country will follow. Pushing it through congress will be very hard if the businesses are actively fighting it. (Mind, you will have active opposition from the health insurance industries, but that is unavoidable.)
For looking really long term, my joke is that we will all be working in the tourist industry. But it’s not as much of a joke as it may seem. If our society gets to the point where manufacturing is entirely automated, and transportation is entirely automated, and information is largely cost-free, what do we have left to do with our lives? Some have argued that we could live in a post-scarcity world, and so our understanding of economics breaks down. I am skeptical of that outcome. But I think we could reach a world where the economy is mostly service-based; I mean that >99% of a person’s income is spent on other services, not goods. We all take in each others washing. This is not a bad thing, it’s the flow of money which is important to the economy, not the aggregation. But, one of the biggest things people like to do is to go see things, tourism. I suspect this trait comes from our primate heritage. So, I can easily imagine that a large proportion of people will work in the tourism industry; as local guides, hand-making local products, serving regional cuisine, and providing the support for these activities through the building trades, banking, and information services. Then all these people who work in the tourism industry locally will travel somewhere else in the world on their own vacations.
Mind you, for that outcome probably a few hundred years in the future. If it’s a future we would like, it’s something to aim for. And it’s something that a local community can start promoting today as a way to generate local jobs.
Flex, YES to all.
I really like the idea of taxing Dividends below Capital Gains – seems like it would encourage long-term investment – but there it would need a progressive component in the details (otherwise, those smart dicks on Wall Street will find ways to fudge it).
Yes, Single-Payer Health Care would relieve companies of a huge burden, of both money & effort. It would remove one of the big reasons that so many people are stuck with multiple part-time jobs. Only owners & top managers would be “hurt” (taxed relatively more).
in the medium-long run (100 years?), most human effort will either be devoted to Science, Tourism, Culture, etc, or to killing each other. I’ll take Door #1.
It seems capitalism works best when it can exploit something or someone. Be it non-renewable resources like oil, coal or minerals, or foreign workers and environment. This predatory form of capitalism is convincing many that socialism, communism or religious extremism are not so bad. Saving capitalism from itself, as Robert Reich says, amounts to rewriting the rule book. We have allowed corporate lawyers to write it for globalization, a big mistake.
A piecemeal approach will not bring back manufacturing, only extensive reform of global tax and trade deals can purge the perverse incentives and direct investment back to the USA. A place to start is “The New Rules of the Road: A progressive Approach to Globalization” by Bernstein & Wallach.
Before taking office, Trump has already accomplished what no other president would even dare to try. He retained Carrier jobs for the US and he killed the job-killing TPP.
Why do analysts and reporters continue characterizing politics as right vs. left? It is total nonsense! They do it because they know the strategy of ‘divide and conquer’. Divide the people and you can run the world!
I’m almost 100% in favor of everything that Jared says. Almost 100%. It dismays me to see how many people are caught up in irrelevant politics.
Jared, what is required is creativity. I realize creativity and economics are a strange mix. This is precisely what has gone wrong, that people inclined to studying economics are not very creative by nature. We need new, creative input to this profession, don’t you agree?
I do! (ie, agree re “creativity”–but I think that was surgically extracted in grad school…)
lawrence e stirtz says:
We have heard it all. In the news this morning was the story about Pence strong arming United Technologies and saving 1000 jobs in Indiana at Carrier. Ford also gave in to some kind of suggestions they not move some jobs to Mexico. This is one way and maybe ok if these jobs would have been lost just to cheaper labor and then the products shipped back into the US.
I do know it is not letting the market work but I guess the next question is should it in this instance? I have no idea we must have done something different after the war to bring Japan and Germany etc back how did we do that without exporting jobs????????
Rick McGahey says:
There isn’t any one “answer.” But restoring labor’s bargaining power (including raising the floor for work), running a real full employment economy with some inflation, real fiscal stimulus plus a real green economy program like Bob Pollin has laid out (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/back-full-employment) would all help. Metropolitan areas need structural reform, less power in suburbs, that’s very hard to achieve. But a combination of progressive local political movements, like in Los Angeles where unions, communities of color, and environmentalists work together, along with real full employment and rebalancing labor’s bargaining power and raising the floor, would go a long way.
Anything that says all the jobs are coming back won’t work, but also won’t be well received. Retraining doesn’t appeal to these communities, and in any case is too supply-side when the problems are institutional and demand/macro. It is true that this isn’t politically feasible now, but it isn’t true that progressives can’t figure out an economic strategy. It is the politics that continue to confound us.
Rich P says:
For years I have championed good jobs for the working class. Jobs they like and want to do. In addition to infrastructure.
Build ships with steel and outfit them with desalination systems and power plants. Lease them to the 85 percent of global population living in costal areas who need power and clean water. Maintain and update over time.
Good jobs for working class, Good/needed to address climate change. Addresses world increasing need for clean power and water.
We do it or leave this huge market to China.
Great Post. I think we need to reexamine what we think the American Dream should be in the 21st century. Two thirds of the population does not have a 4 yr. degree, and the median income is $56,500 and the trends are to replace high paying factory jobs with low paying ones, and if trends continue, the self-employment, per Gig economy model. Costs have increased for education — even the public universities are largely privatized, and we’ve changed retirement from a defined benefit to a defined contribution system, and health care costs more and more every year and is out of control cost wise with games being played everywhere.
To my thinking, you have to get more income to the middle class and reduce costs to them. You could start by requiring per gig models (like uber drivers ) to be employees as without that self employment taxes kick in. You could continue with reducing costs on the health care and education side. On the income side, yes you should strengthen unions, but that won’t be enough. You have to deliver more income to this group. If you don’t, society will end up paying for the cost of health care, the cost of education the cost of housing, because there isn’t enough income to save for retirement, pay self employment tax, save for education of kids, and pay for healthcare, pay child care, housing, food and transportation.
Others have suggest basic income, but I struggle with the framing of it. I don’t see rural or proud middle american folks who won’t take a handout, seeing this as a good thing. So one of the above suggestions of delivering more overtime is perhaps one way. As also noted above, the only way to get more income or reduce costs to them is by changing the structure of taxes and through redistribution in some way.
Wrong! ( in the words or should I say word of the immortal John McLaughlin ) $56,000 is not the median income, it’s the median household income, with about 1.3 wage earners per household when income reaches that level, and 1.5 wage earners already at the 60th percentile. At the 75th percentile you’re up to 1.8 wage earners. The median income is $30,000, although that includes part time and temporary workers. The median wage for full time workers is actually around $40,000 per year.
Unless you want a race to the bottom with the rest of world meaning every country not a developed West European Social Democracy, the U.S. must seek peaceful disengagement. Labor rights are not coming to China anytime soon, neither are open markets, rule of law, or respect for intellectual property. Aside from destroying the American economy with their trade surplus, the sheer size of the economy will enable them to start buying up American companies if not blocked by security concerns. Economists would say this is good because it would help balance trade. If you think the influence of the Chamber of Commerce and right wing think tanks are bad now, wait until the Chinese oligarchs start to take over with influence and dollars funneled through American entities. This is just one example because the entire world outside of Europe may yet follow the Chinese model, not Communist, not Capitalist. The American worker can not compete against markets that are closed to American goods. China insists on partnership investing only, partly to steal technological know how, partly to deprive any American dominance of a profitable sector, partly to enrich the oligarchy. These problems of trade would be true even without the fact of substandard wages which suppresses a consumer economy, while providing incentive for American companies to relocate even if eventually only saving pennies.
Mexico is also a problem, in terms of development, labor rights, wages. Try fixing that. Why is an oil rich country of 100 million just to the South of us paying workers 1/6 of what they’d earn in the U.S?
http://www.worldsalaries.org/mexico.shtml
I agree, household income. What I was trying to say is: at what income level now, and in the future given trends, can we provide the social contract, AKA the American dream, with the middle/working class family that enables the family unit to save for retirement, save for college, pay for healthcare, education, buy a house and in general not put a burden on society now or in retirement? And if we don’t like that number, what has to change, or does the premise have to change? As pointed out, neither Democrats nor Republicans have a solution and bringing automated factories back and lower tax brackets for the middle/working class isn’t sufficient. My belief is that the progressives have to win enough, through changes, of this population, by making this work for them, to win in the future. Maybe your suggestions are part of the answer.
Chris G says:
> But something very big and very important is missing from Betras’ warning and Hohmann’s analysis: neither Democrats nor Republicans really know what to do to help these workers and their communities.
If Trump keeps jobs in the US a couple thousand at a time then he and his minions we hold power for the foreseeable future. (I doubt he’ll be able to keep it up but if he does…) People whose jobs are saved won’t care if his approach doesn’t work in theory so long as it works in practice.
That Clinton – and Democrats in general – didn’t campaign on the promise to keep those Carrier jobs in Indiana is beyond me. Failure to do so was political stupidity and malpractice of the highest order. If you are the champion of working people then you come down hard on the side of working people. (Weren’t Democrats the champions of working people once upon a time? I could’ve sworn they were.) You don’t say, “Well, sorry, I don’t really know if I can do anything for you.” Lead with that and you deserve to lose. Promise to help and then do everything you can to try to help. If you try but fail perhaps you’ll be forgiven. If you can’t be bothered to try then no one will want anything to do with you. It’s retail politics. It’s not that complicated.
Related reading from Senator Sanders – http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/-sanders-statement-on-carrier-and-outsourcing That’s what you do.
Raven Onthill says:
I think Trump’s solution might “work,” in the sense that raising trade barriers would indeed make manufacturing products in the USA for sale in the USA more profitable. Problem is, we’d be imitating the old Soviet Union, which refused to allow the import of good-quality Western products and instead forced its public to buy shoddy Soviet-made products. If, say, law required smartphones sold in the USA to be made in the USA they would be poor-quality products, and more expensive and less capable than what China could manufacture for at least two decades.
One thing that would help level the playing field would be to advocate that world manufacturing raise its pay, environmental, and workplace safety standards. Workers of the world, unite–oh, wait.
Actually trade barriers would be imitating Madison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff_of_1816 Tariffs helped protect American manufacturers from cheap imports, like textiles from India (in the 1820s). Are economists today just dumber? Or is it that the elites are able to skim profits more efficiently. You need to figure out how to remove the incentive for American corporate executives to profit by gutting manufacturing. It used to be the opposite. In the past the foreign manufacturers weren’t owned by Americans. The profits of cheap labor in India accrued to the British, not rich American capitalists. If tariffs worked previously, why are they a bad idea now? They are not. It’s a myth for example that Smoot Hartley precipitated the Great Depression. Also comparative advantage means nothing when workers are paid 1/6th of American wages as they are in Mexico. You can’t have a free trade area with zero transportation costs and 1 to 6 wage differential. That’s even accounting for the fact that companies (Auto and Air Conditioning) save pennies because labor input costs are less than 20% (estimated 10 to 15% for automobiles). Americans are more than willing to pay for quality, they pay huge premiums for Japanese reliability and German performance (see auto imports) and likewise for pocket timepieces with additional functions, also known as smartphones. America is a very rich country that can afford to pay extra to keep rust belt workers employed.
How disappointing Trump only saved 1,000 of the 1,400 jobs in Indiana. Just pass a law, no moving factories.
Henry Carey - forgotten American economist says:
Bringing back tariffs would save the Midwest. Japan had sky high tariffs in the 1945-1980 period of high growth; every other successful East Asian economy did the same. Why is the US so special that the laws of economics apply in East Asia but not here?
The US was rich when it was a protectionist economy. Since the 1970s everything has gone to garbage – this era is also the “globalization” period of free trade. You can dispute facts all you want but eventually on the military battlefield US free trade may face Asian or Russian protectionism and the results will be similar to the US civil war. Economics aint rocket science folks.
Stan Sorscher says:
1) Acknowledge that the neoliberal approach is exhausted – drop the focus on maximum possible trade, lowest possible costs and investors first. Not everything is about money. Strategy and well-being are not always represented in a price tag.
2) Focus on the two defining problems of our time – inequality and climate change
3) Look at national strategies for manufacturing, energy, carbon emissions – that is, industrial policies
5) National interests are legitimate,especially when the global economy is so far from any stable equilibrium.
6) We should let legitimate national interests drive our trade policy, not the other way around
China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Denmark and other countries have always behaved this way. We have been silly to think we could “free trade” our way to prosperity.

Savages: “Adore Life” Album Review
January 26, 2016 Album ReviewsReviews
Artist: Savages
Title: Adore Life
Label: Matador Records
Savages arrived fully formed well before they released their debut album, Silence Yourself, in 2013. Before the LP came out, their first single “Husbands” already established the post-punk band’s M.O: ferociously stern, aggressively direct and unafraid to set fire to the status quo. Their live-for-TV performance of the song on Later with Jools Holland still sticks to show their dead-serious attitude. All four are locked in their respective instruments, especially frontwoman Jehnny Beth, who gives the camera a burning thousand-yard stare.
Their follow-up record, Adore Life, sees the band loosening up. The harsh, brash punk sound still remains, but Savages shake off their tunnel vision to let the music wander into new territory. The change can be heard in the rhythm sections of “Evil” and “Slowing Down the World.” Drummer Fay Milton provides a nimble shuffle for the former song, and bassist Ayse Hassan similarly lends the latter a hook with her mellow bass line. Guitarist Gemma Thompson offers memorable riffs as well — “The Answer” and “Surrender” comes to mind — though the rhythmic spine sounds more pronounced this time around.
What Savages change most is their plan of attack. The best hooks from Beth in Adore Life continue to focus on the power of repetition to convey intense urgency. She sings the titular phrase of “I Need Something New” through gritted teeth, amping up her frustration. The style especially comes across in “Adore Life” where she continuously screams “I adore life” as if she’s convincing herself to accept it as truth.
As loud as she delivers her lyrics, Beth keeps her words to herself instead of exerting her feelings outward as she did in Silence Yourself. Adore Life instead play as her internal conversations where she questions the idea of love, which she observes as a self-damaging obsession. She compares the blood-boiling feeling as mania in “When in Love,” turning a head-over-heels type of passion into one fatal attraction. “Next time I’m in your neighborhood, I might be knocking at your door/ because this is love,” she sings toward the end. Her conclusion can be summed up from her claim made in “Sad Person”: “love is a disease.”
Coming from an album where she put on a stone-cold serious persona, it’s alarming to find Beth so open and emotionally vulnerable. Whereas she once commanded with conviction, she’s now uncertain about the world around her. She hasn’t lost her touch; her willingness to be transparent with her pain is a powerful use of voice in itself. Sometimes, her script runs a little too casual. “Sad Person” runs on like a stream of consciousness — a bumpy form of delivery by a songwriter known for brevity. But it’s only natural for the lyrics to flow in such a way in an album which serves as an internal monologue. Savages have always been about the raw instincts first. Adore Life is no different.

ICTSI lauds Philippine government crackdown on overstaying containers
Port operator International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) has welcomed concrete steps taken by the Philippine government to clear Manila ports of overstaying cargo.
Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Global Corporate head hailed collaborative and complementing efforts of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), the Department of Transportation (DoTr), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to resolve the issue of overstaying cargo at Manila ports, and ensuring their swift disposition.
“We thank the Philippine government for taking a hard stand in fast-tracking the disposal and reduction of overstaying and empty containers at Manila ports. The results have been immediate and goes to show what determination and focus of purpose can do.”
Roughly a month after the PPA issued an ultimatum for overstaying containers, yard utilization at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) rapidly decreased by about 20 percent, from 90 percent in January this year to 70 percent at the start of April. The healthy yard utilization happened despite higher volume handled, especially in March where MICT handled a record monthly volume. The terminal was able to accept almost double the number of empty containers it was receiving, freeing up trucks in the process which, in turn, resulted to more import pull outs. Shipping lines have now been able to bridge the gap in achieving their weekly empty container evacuation targets.
Import dwell time has likewise been reduced from 11 days in January to 6.6 days at the start of April. This has resulted in zero ship queues compared to December’s peak season.
ICTSI also continues to transfer more overstaying laden containers to Laguna Gateway Inland Container Terminal (LGICT) in Calamba.
Gonzalez added: “We are optimistic that most have understood the need for containers to move regularly and in a timely fashion, but the proof will come after Easter which historically has seen overstaying boxes surge.”
The government has led various port stakeholders — including ICTSI, Asian Terminals, Inc. (ATI), and international shipping lines — in the signing a Manifesto of Support last 15 March for the efficient utilization of Manila ports, encouraging the immediate retrieval of overstaying and empty cargo to designated ports and off-dock depots. A joint administrative order (JAO) will soon be issued by the Trade Department, the BOC and PPA to address concerns on unreturned empties and overstaying imports.
Even before the manifesto was signed, ICTSI took the lead along with Association of International Shipping Lines (AISL), Alliance of Concerned Truck Owners and Organizations and Container Depot Alliance of the Philippines to undertake immediate measures in alleviating problems connected with returning empty containers.
This includes the identification of depot areas that could be leased for empty storage, with ICTSI covering the cost of the lease; movement of more than 5,000 overstaying containers to bonded warehouses outside of the terminal; and use of the San Miguel Yamamura property near the MICT to store and reposition of empty containers, starting April 1.
The use of LGICT, a bonded facility in Calamba, and the Cavite Gateway Terminal in Tanza is likewise encouraged to improve truck movement in the metro.

Mao Money, Mao Problems
"The credit boom is built on the sands of banknotes and deposits. ... If the credit expansion is not stopped in time, the boom turns into the crack-up boom; the flight into real values begins, and the whole monetary system founders." —Ludwig von Mises, Human Action
Flashback: "Two Prisms for Looking at China's Problems"
Introduction: The Chinese economy began to show signs of a downtrend in the business cycle long before the current troubles. Instead of welcoming the adjustments, Chinese policy makers opted for more Keynesian stimulus. Did lower interest rates, more artificial credit, and more fiscal spending delay the adjust process? Yes. Did it eliminate the need to adjust? No.
The New York Times - August 11, 2012 - Tyler Cowen - "Two Prisms for Looking at China's Problems"
China is confronting some serious economic problems, and how Beijing does — or doesn’t — respond to them could bend the course of the global economy.
First, China’s real estate bubble is deflating. But its economy also seems to be suffering from what we economists call excess capacity — an overinvestment in capital goods, whether in factories, retail stores or infrastructure. So what now? The answer depends in part on your school of economic thinking.
Keynesian economics holds that aggregate demand — the sum of all consumption, investment, government spending and net exports — drives stability, and that government can and should help in difficult times. But the Austrian perspective, developed by the Austrian economists Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich A. Hayek, and championed today by many libertarians and conservatives, emphasizes how government policy often makes things worse, not better.
Economists of all stripes agree that China may be in for a spill. John Maynard Keynes emphasized back in the 1930s the dangers of speculative bubbles, and China certainly seems to have had one in its property market.
Keynesians would argue that Beijing has the tools to stoke aggregate demand. It could, for example, adjust interest rates and bank reserve requirements, instruct state-owned banks to maintain lending, or deploy some of its $3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves. The government also appears to have many shovel-ready construction and infrastructure projects that could help the economy glide to a soft landing and then bounce back.
The Austrian perspective introduces some scarier considerations. China has been investing 40 percent to 50 percent of its national income. But it is hard to invest so much money wisely, particularly in an environment of economic favoritism. And this rate of investment is artificially high to begin with.
Beijing is often accused of manipulating the value of its currency, the renminbi, to subsidize its manufacturing. The government also funnels domestic savings into the national banking system and grants subsidies to politically favored businesses, and it seems obsessed with building infrastructure. All of this tips the economy in very particular directions.
The Austrian approach raises the possibility that there is no way for China to make good on enough of its oversubsidized investments. At first, they create lots of jobs and revenue, but as the business cycle proceeds, new marginal investments become less valuable and more prone to allocation by corruption. The giddy booms of earlier times wear off, and suddenly not every decision seems wise. The combination can lead to an economic crackup — not because aggregate demand is too low, but because the economy has been producing the wrong mix of goods and services.
To keep its investments in business, the Chinese government will almost certainly continue to use political means, like propping up ailing companies with credit from state-owned banks. But whether or not those companies survive, the investments themselves have been wasteful, and that will eventually damage the economy. In the Austrian perspective, the government has less ability to set things right than in Keynesian theories.
Furthermore, it is becoming harder to stimulate the Chinese economy effectively. The flow of funds out of China has accelerated recently, and the trend may continue as the government liberalizes capital markets and as Chinese businesses become more international and learn how to game the system. Again, reflecting a core theme of Austrian economics, market forces are overturning or refusing to validate the state-preferred pattern of investments.
For Western economies, the Keynesian view is much more popular than the Austrian view among mainstream economists. The Austrian view has a hard time explaining how so many investors can be fooled into so much malinvestment, especially given the traditional Austrian perspective that markets are fairly effective in allocating resources. But China has had such an extreme and pronounced artificial subsidization of investment that the Austrian perspective may apply there to a greater degree.
The optimistic view is that Chinese excess capacity and overbuilding are manageable — that the current overextensions of investment will be propped up, but they won’t have to be propped up for long. In this view, the Chinese economy will fairly soon grow rather naturally into supporting its current capital structure, and its downturns will be mere hiccups, not busts.
The pessimistic view is that the problems are so large that the government’s attempts to prop up its investments with further subsidies could so limit consumption, and so distort resource allocation, that the Chinese economy will stagnate. In this view, the political means for allocating investment would grow to dominate market forces, the proposed “economic rebalancing” of the Chinese economy toward domestic consumption would become a distant memory, and China would have an even tougher time opening its capital markets and liberalizing its economy. Given that China already faces competition from nations where wages are lower, and that its population is aging, the country might not return to its previous growth track.
The jury is out. But to my eye, we may well find a significant and lasting disruption, closer to what the Austrian theory would predict. Consider a broader historical perspective: How often in world history have countries enjoyed 30-plus years of extremely rapid growth without a major economic tumble somewhere along the way? One can be optimistic about China for the long term and still be fearful for the next turn in its business cycle.
In any case, China has surprised the world many times before — and is likely to surprise it again.

Legally blind contestant competes in Miss USA Florida pageant
From The Sun-Sentinel in Florida:
Connor Boss (pictured), who will be wearing the Miss Delray Beach sash Saturday night in the Miss Florida USA pageant at Broward College, isn't much on talking about herself.
The 18-year-old Royal Palm Beach resident will admit to being “really excited” about the pageant, her fifth since she began competing by winning the Harvest Queen crown in Belle Glade as a 16-year-old. She'll brag on her older sister attending Florida State, her mom being a teacher at Everglades Elementary, her dad's work with the Broward Sheriff's Office fire-rescue department.
She tells you she just graduated from Glades Day School, forgetting to mention her 4.2 GPA and that she was senior class president. If you ask her, she'll describe her high school accomplishments in track and field, where she ran the 800 meters for four years. But she'll downplay her 2-minute, 45-second personal best: “I wasn't very good,” she says.
She also doesn't see the point in mentioning that she's legally blind.
No, to pry that out of her you need to call back and ask her specifically to confirm what you discovered after your first conversation about the pageant: That she has Stargardt's disease, a retina-ravaging disorder that presented itself when Connor was 8, turning typical 20/20 vision into 2400/2600 vision and rendering the world a hazy blur.
“When she heard you found out, she turned to me and said, ‘Oh, no…',” says her mom, Traci Boss, during the second call. “She does not want to be treated differently. She does not want sympathy from people.”
Connor doesn't drive a car (“a huge bummer,” she says); she excelled at school with the help of special magnifiers, enlarged worksheets, books on CD and having tests read to her; and she has a lot of trouble with stairs. Not a good thing for a beauty pageant contestant.
Each competitor in the Miss Florida USA pageant, the winner of which represents the state in the Miss USA judging, must walk a predetermined pattern to hit certain marks onstage at Bailey Hall Saturday night. Connor, who navigates her way through the pageant largely by sound and memory, will get extra rehearsal time to count out her steps onstage.
At last year's Miss Florida USA pageant, when Connor finished as second runner-up in the teen category, she stumbled on the stairs in the swimsuit segment. Unless there is bright-colored tape on the edge of each stair, they all blend together for Connor. She doesn't know what the stage set-up will be this year, but isn't concerned how it might affect her poise.
“I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna do it to it!” she says brightly.
Executive producer Grant Gravitt has been with the Miss Florida USA pageant since 1978 and says Connor is the first legally blind contestant in pageant history.
“But she doesn't play that card. You will never hear her mention that,” says Gravitt, who has known Connor for more than three years. “She's just cool, cool. Very inspirational.”
The Miss Florida USA pageant will be televised around the state Saturday night , including WPLG and WTVK, but Connor won't use the same cues that viewers will to compare herself to the rest of the women. She has little sense of what she looks like and can't see other contestants' faces unless she gets uncomfortably close and uses her peripheral vision. Bodies are just blurry shapes.
“I have to judge people by their personality. Not to talk pageant-y, but I like to think that beauty comes from within. It's important to exude that, to try to be kind to everyone,” Connor says.
Traci Boss hopes her daughter's story is an antidote to the “terrible stereotype” of beauty pageants as focused exclusively on visual superficialities. The Harvest Queen crown two years ago turned Connor into a new person, she says.
“There was a change in her, in her self-confidence, and she's just kept going,” Traci says, rattling off a list of Connor's subsequent volunteer work, mentoring efforts and speaking engagements. In the fall, she'll start college at FSU. “She has overcome every obstacle. If [her pageant appearance] inspires people, that's even better.”
Connor herself, however, will admit that she has not overcome every obstacle.
“I walk into the men's bathroom all the time. All the time,” she says with a laugh. “Usually, by the time I figure it out, it's ‘Whoops! Sorry!' People think I'm crazy.”

Fallibility of Ali
July 22, 2017 admin Knowledge and Infallibility of Imams 0
In this article, we shall take a look at the status of Ali through his own comments about himself. It is well established that his infallibility was not accepted by the people of his time. No proof is required to establish that the Sahaba, especially the three caliphs, A’isha, Talha, Al-Zubair, the people of Basra, then Mu’awiyah, and the people of Al-Sham, did not believe in his infallibility. However, what might be shocking to Shias is that his own followers did not accept this either. We find in Sermon #69 that the people of Iraq, the companions of Ali themselves, did not believe in his fallibility. He rebuked them saying, “I was told that you say, ‘Ali lies.’ May Allah destroy you!”
Below, we have hand-picked some of the words of Ali to show that he himself did not believe that he was infallible:
In Sermon #76 he says, “O My God! Forgive me what Thou knowest about me more than I do. If I return (to the sins) then forgive me again. My God forgive me what I had promised to myself but Thou didst not find its fulfillment with me. My God forgive me that with what I sought nearness to Thee with my tongue but my heart opposed and did not perform it. My God forgive me winkings of the eye, vile utterances, desires of the heart and errors of speech.”
Shias often explain away such statements by saying that these were said out of humbleness, however, the sermon clearly shows that Ali did commit a sin and fears returning to it out of humane weakness.
He says in Sermon #214, “Therefore, do not abstain from saying a truth or pointing out a matter of justice because I do not regard myself above erring. I do not escape erring in my actions but that Allah helps me (in avoiding errors) in matters in which He is more powerful than I. Certainly, I and you are slaves owned by Allah, other than Whom there is no Lord except Him. He owns our selves which we do not own. He took us from where we were towards what means prosperity to us. He altered our straying into guidance and gave us intelligence after blindness.”
The above also clearly shows that Ali believed that he has become guided after he was once astray. He says this as he requests his followers to point out truth and justice to him for he is not free from error.
Also, in Saying #278, he says, “O’ Allah, I seek your protection from this that I may appear to be good in the eyes of the people whilst my inward self may be sinful before You, and that I may guard myself (from sins) only for show before the people although You are aware of all about me. Thus, I appear before the people in good shape although my evil deeds are placed before You. This means achieving nearness to Your creatures but remoteness from Your pleasure.”
The belief in the infallibility of Ali is unjustified and conflicts with his own statements in Nahjul Balagha. We all know that Shias will twist and turn in order to interpret such reports to refer to his modesty and humbleness, but in the end of the day, these are the clear and apparent words of Ali that do not require any interpretation. How can the Most Merciful allow His appointed Imam to confuse the people with such statements? Surely, if Ali was an infallible, then this confusion he is causing is itself a sin. Let Shias come forth and solve this paradox.

Despite Rumors, Ethereum Is Not Spending $15 Million on the Development of Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs)
February 9, 2019 mediabest Ethereum
On February 7, Coindesk published a piece stating that the Ethereum Foundation was considering investing $15 million to develop Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs) for use in its transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network.
However, these alleged plans have since been proven false, as the Foundation notified another crypto news outlet, Cointelegraph, that this was not the case.
Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation stated in an email:
“The EF [Ethereum Foundation] is not looking to spend $15m. We are looking to split funds 50/50 with Filecoin or other financial partners.”
Last November, Filecoin (FIL) tentatively agreed to split costs for a VDF viability study, but has not fully committed, as it’s not certain that Filecoin needs a VDF. Therefore, the Ethereum Foundation may be splitting funds with another blockchain project if Filecoin doesn’t pull through.
What Are Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs)?
Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs) are technological functions that require a moderate amount of sequential confirmation, which takes exponentially more time to compute than it does to verify on a single processor.
Once a solution is found, it is easily verifiable as correct, and VDFs can be used to protect a system that relies on (pseudo) random values from manipulation strategies or attack. Therefore, VDFs could be an important aspect of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains to achieve consensus while maintaining a high level of security.
Ethereum 2.0 to Include Shift to PoS Consensus Algorithm
As previously reported by IIB, Ethereum has kicked off their pre-release of Ethereum 2.0 (also known as Serenity), which is the final upgrade of the Ethereum network. Ethereum’s development consists of 4 primary stages; we’re currently in the 3rd stage, dubbed “Metropolis.”
However, once the Constantinople hard fork is completed in late February, Ethereum’s development will officially begin the first stages of Ethereum 2.0, which will include the Ethereum network transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, among other things.
Ultimately, Ethereum 2.0 will tackle all key issues evident with Ethereum today, such as scalability, mining centralization, economic finality, and security. This final upgrade is by far the largest and most important one to date, and is expected to be completed around 2021.
Do you think the Ethereum Foundation will be able to complete the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade by 2021? Or will they run into various issues causing even further delays? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

A year like no other ends with Millwood boys, girls at state basketball
by Jenni Carlson
Published: Wed, March 6, 2019 5:00 AM Updated: Thu, March 7, 2019 1:29 AM

Walk into the field house at Millwood High School any afternoon in early March, a time when most basketball teams have already checked in their gear, and you’ll likely find someone.
This week, it’s the boys.
But exit through the lobby, past packed trophy cases, across the parking lot and into the old gym everyone calls “The Hot Box,” and you’re also likely to find a team getting ready for state.
This week, it’s the girls.
Having both teams headed to state isn’t anything new at this tradition-rich school on the northeast side of Oklahoma City. This marks the 16th time in 31 years. And yet, this year is like no other — the boys are led by a coach who succeeded a legend, the girls by a legend who returned to coach.
During this final weekend of high school basketball in our state, storylines will abound. But entering the tournament, there is nothing quite like Millwood, which will try to win a pair of Class 3A titles starting Thursday.
“I feel like the tradition is coming back,” said senior Sabrian Murray, one of the captains on the girls team. “Over the past few years, the boys and the girls haven’t really made it … as far as expected.
“I feel like it’s coming back.”
Article: High school basketball state tournament coverage
But in the weeks leading up to the season, no one could’ve imagined it would happen this way.
Ironically, the boys ended up with the least amount of upheaval — and they were playing without Varryl Franklin, who retired in 2018 after leading boys basketball for 40 years and winning 13 state titles.
Three seasons ago, Millwood hired Michael Jeffries as head-coach-in-waiting. District leaders wanted to give someone a chance to learn from Franklin.
The legendary coach, though, went a step further and empowered Jeffries.
“He let me have the reins,” Jeffries said. “Once I jumped in, I jumped in, and he allowed it.”
Jeffries implemented not only his scheme and style but also his structure. Papers hang on his office bulletin board at right angles. Practices move from one thing to another on a set schedule.
Adapting to a new style and a new coach could have been difficult this season.
Instead, Millwood excelled from the jump, winning 15 of its first 16 games. It enters the state tournament 22-3, and all three losses were to schools from bigger classifications.
Jeffries credits his players. They are veteran. They are talented.
They also bought in.
“They understand how I do things,” Jeffries said. “That’s the difference with this crew — they know where I’m coming from.”
That wasn’t necessarily the case with the girls team.
In September, Millwood found itself without a coach. With school already underway, candidates were scarce. Athletic Director Shannon Hayes and Superintendent Cecilia Robinson-Woods finally hit on an idea — bring back legendary coach Arnelia Spears.
Spears coached the girls for 40 years, taking over a program in disarray in 1974 and turning it into a powerhouse with three state titles and nearly 800 wins.
She retired in 2014.
“She’s never left the school,” Robinson-Woods said, adding that Spears continued coaching middle school softball. “She was always around. She was the same Coach Spears.”
But Spears had reservations about coaching high school basketball again, even if only for one season.
“I’m not worried about my health,” Robinson-Woods remembers Spears, who is 70, saying. “I’m worried about whether these kids are going to listen to me.”
Standing near midcourt inside “The Hot Box” earlier this week, Spears was as blunt as ever talking about her team.
“The talent is definitely here,” she said, “but sometimes, you can have talent … and feel that you’re entitled. You’re entitled to play because you’re this.”
She scoffed.
“My thing is, I don’t care who plays.”
Spears starts two juniors and three sophomores, but she said she’d move middle schoolers to varsity if it was allowed and she thought they could help.
Even though she now has an adopted dog, Bella, who sometimes appears on the sidelines, it's not a sign Spears has softened. She still believes going hard, never quitting and playing for more than yourself is paramount.
The girls admit getting used to Spears’ high standards hasn’t been easy.
“She talks to us in a way that I’ve never been talked to,” point guard Alysia Pickett said, “but at the same time, I learned so much.”
When Millwood knocked off No. 3 Jones to get to state, the players showed their appreciation by beelining for Spears. They hugged her. They thanked her. They even told her that all the running she made them do paid off.
The lovefest shocked Spears.
“I’ve been real mean to them,” she said.
But these players have made Spears proud.
Truth is, both basketball teams have made folks in the Millwood community proud. There was change. There was upheaval. But they made it to state anyway.
Just like they so often have.
But like they never have before.

Mark Sonder Productions 30th Anniversary Celebration Continues…
A 30th Year Anniversary Special from Mark Sonder Productions Entertainment Agency
Tito Puente Jr. Y Su Orquesta
Mark Sonder, MM, CSEP and the Chief Entertainment Officer at the award winning worldwide entertainment agency Mark Sonder Productions, Inc. is proud to announce a public concert series to take place at The Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club, located just outside of its nation’s capital.
“The Drifters were the first headliner my company booked, oh so many years ago, opening up for Dionne Warwick at Ft. Adams State Park in Newport, RI for 10,000 people, so it was fitting to have them return as the first band to help celebrate our 30ieth Year Anniversary last month in Bethesda,” said Sonder recently at one of the many professional trade association meetings which his company belongs to.
Sonder’s company continues its 30th Anniversary bringing in Latin’s own Tito Puente Jr. Y Su Orquesta at The 500 seat Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club on Friday night April 17, 2015. (It will be a very special evening as his father’s birthday is April 20). “Tito is relevant to our anniversary as he continues the renowned Tito Puente brand and has expanded it to now include more formats of Latino music plus has appeared on Dancing With the Stars performing ‘Oye Como Va’ which is the song written by his father, the legendary Latin jazz and mambo musician in 1963 and popularized by Santana’s rendition of the song in 1970,” states Sonder. Sonder himself, a media veteran who has appeared on radio, television and in a major motion picture knows the power of a major TV program.
This is the second in a series of special musical presentations set up by Mark Sonder Productions at this wonderful supper club. Other shows you see later this season will be: JoDee Messina, Lee Greenwood, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, The Outlaws, Crystal Gayle, Rare Earth, The Hit Men, Leon Russell, Larry Carlton, Blackhawk, and many more during the company’s 30ieth year celebration.
Tickets for Tito Puente Jr. Y Su Orquesta are on sale at the Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club box office or purchase online before they sell out.
Created in 1985 to fill a growing need for music, entertainment, speakers, headline entertainers and supportive production in corporate and association meetings, conventions and special events plus facilities, casinos and concerts, the company in its 30 years, has worked in the US, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, South America, Europe and Southeast Asia.

The Birthday Bash (of Howard Stern), by Bob Lefsetz
The Birthday Bash (of Howard Stern)
written by guest contributor and blogger Bob Lefsetz
What kind of crazy f____d up world do we live in where Howard Stern gets a better tribute than the Beatles?
One in which Adam Levine does a spot-on rendition of “Purple Rain” and establishes his rock and roll bona fides overnight.
I was planning on hearing this on the replay, but my flight was canceled by snow and I find myself…unable to stop listening.
What a crazy world we live in. Wherein Howard hypes this low-rent celebration of his sixtieth birthday and the straight media completely ignores it and more celebrities turn out and reveal themselves than at the Golden Globes, the “gold standard” for celebrity looseness.
But it’s not surprising, when Howard specializes in extracting nuggets from others we’re dying to know but are way too creeped out or afraid to ask. Like were your parents virgins when they married?
That was one of the questions Mr. Stern put to his parents twenty years ago, it was featured in the replay of bashes past on his second channel, Howard 101.
By putting it all out there himself, Howard has license to ask you…
How much money you make.
How frequently you have sex.
Whether you’re going to invite him to your wedding.
That’s what Howard asked Katie Couric. Who showed up with not only Whoopi Goldberg, but Barbara Walters. Along with Mariann from Brooklyn and so much of the rest of the Wack Pack.
But not Eric the Midget/Actor.
Don’t know who he is?
That’s just the point. In the Stern world, Eric is a star, with more airtime than a movie star. We know Eric and his peculiarities intimately, whereas the celebrities the mainstream media promotes are airbrushed to the point where when TMZ reveals the tiniest blemish, everybody goes OOH!
But we’re all imperfect, we all have blemishes, we all fart. Otherwise, why would we click the linkbait of stars without their makeup?
Jewel sang her rendition of Howard’s adolescent composition, “Silver Nickels and Golden Dimes.”
And Train may have covered “I Feel The Earth Move” at the Carole King/Musicares tribute, but here the band performed what we really wanted to hear, its spot-on take of Led Zeppelin’s “Ramble On.”
And unlike the Grammys, Bon Jovi sang his big hit, the soundtrack to “Deadliest Catch,” “Wanted Dead Or Alive.”
John Mayer didn’t utilize the occasion to promote a single, but covered Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone.”
Although hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman made an appearance, and revealed why he made up with Jay Leno.
And at this late date, hours into the bash, a Google news search of “Howard Stern” reveals nothing other than the appearance of Chris Christie.
But not tomorrow. Tomorrow this will be a big story. When the herd media decides to go on it, since they’re interested in whatever stars do.
But not Howard Stern. Because they don’t want to consider him a star.
Because he’s not beautiful.
He’s not a great singer or actor.
He’s just like them.
And that’s why it’s Howard Stern’s time. You stay in the game long enough and your moment arrives.
In the cacophonous world we inhabit you only rise to the top and sustain if you’re constantly in the public eye, doing new things. And Howard’s creating twelve hours of new material every week, at an insanely high level, since he’s honed his craft for forty years.
Yes, while music focuses on the barely pubescent, when it lauds Miley Cyrus, with songs written by old men, the truth is it’s a long way to the top if you truly want to rock and roll.
And listening to the free stream on my computer it’s reminiscent of nothing so much as a 1970’s FM simulcast. Real, but at a distance.
I didn’t think I needed to be there.
But I was wrong.
Packed with celebrities, John Fogerty is singing “Bad Moon Rising” right now, the show is fast-paced, but loose. There’s none of the airiness or phoniness of network TV.
But that’s not hard to believe, because Howard Stern is the biggest star in America.
And you either know it or you don’t.
He’s America’s Number One Interviewer. A bigger star than Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’ Brien and David Letterman.
Because he’s got the audience.
But you don’t see the Sirius mindshare/listeners in the Nielsen reports.
But that does not mean it’s not real.
What do they say, you judge a star’s wattage by the fanaticism of its audience?
Just read the tweets.
This is bigger than the anniversary of the Beatles’ appearance on Ed Sullivan. Because this ain’t history, this ain’t calcified, Howard Stern’s Birthday Bash is life itself.

BREAKING: Romney wins Wyoming caucuses, CNN projects

Based on straw-poll results compiled and released by the Wyoming Republican Party, Romney won 39% of the votes cast in straw polls conducted at county-level caucuses.

White House, Republicans talk compromise
CNN's Tom Cohen and Deirdre Walsh
Washington (CNN) - Republican leaders and the White House sent signals Wednesday of possible detente on jobs and energy legislation, but they offered few specifics and congressional Democrats questioned whether any progress would ensue.
President Barack Obama had a rare luncheon meeting with leaders of both parties in Congress, including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. They are two of his biggest adversaries in the political wrangling that has brought public scorn of congressional inaction.

High octane fundraising events in the Big Apple
CNN White House Producer Lesa Jansen
(CNN) - President Barack Obama is set to highlight his energy vision during a speech at Nashua Community College in New Hampshire on Thursday. It's a whirlwind visit to the college. In fact the president will only be on the ground in New Hampshire fewer than 3 hours.
Soon thereafter he heads to the Big Apple for the real focus of his trip - fundraising. Like his other recent forays outside of Washington, D.C., the president’s "message" event in New Hampshire will be but a prelude to some heavy duty fundraising efforts.

Romney stumbles over question about GOP contraception push
CNN Political Producer Rachel Streitfeld and CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby
Columbus, Ohio (CNN) - Mitt Romney's campaign scrambled to clean up another unforced error by their candidate Wednesday after he came out against a controversial amendment pushed by Senate Republicans that would allow employers to opt out of health care coverage they disagree with on moral grounds.
Romney's statement, which came in an afternoon interview with Ohio News Network, quickly reverberated around the Internet and prompted Romney's campaign to clarify that the opposite was true, and that the former Massachusetts governor, in fact, supports the legislation.

Update: Latest CNN count shows Santorum, Romney split Michigan delegates

CNN Chief National Correspondent John King
(CNN) – Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum will report raising $9 million in February, a Santorum campaign source told CNN Wednesday.

Snowe explains decision to leave, defends tough criticism of Senate
CNN Senior Congressional Producer Ted Barrett and CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash
Washington (CNN) - A day after she shocked her colleagues and constituents by announcing her retirement, moderate Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine explained her decision and defended tough criticism she leveled at her colleagues when she announced why she would leave the Senate.
"People are just stunned by the debilitating partisanship, polarization and the overall dysfunction of the institution and political paralysis as we come, you know, to the point of extreme when it comes to resolving the problems facing our country," a frustrated Snowe told CNN Wednesday. "It's become an all or nothing proposition and that failure has eroded the public's confidence about the direction of this country and about governing institutions to be at the front lines of solving these problems."

Susan B. Anthony List pushes pro-Santorum ads in Ohio
CNN's Ashley Killough
(CNN) – The Susan B. Anthony List, a major anti-abortion advocacy group, will run a new set of radio ads for Rick Santorum in Ohio, the group announced Wednesday.
Focusing on economic issues, the $200,000 ad buy will air in the days leading up to the state's Super Tuesday primary on March 6.

Romney reprises Santorum attacks in Ohio
CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby
Bexley, Ohio (CNN) - After taking a break Wednesday morning from the negative back-and-forth that came to define the Republican presidential race in Michigan, Mitt Romney reprised his direct assault on Rick Santorum at a campaign stop in vote-heavy central Ohio.
"Rick Santorum is a nice guy but he is an economic lightweight," Romney told a polite crowd at Capital University in Bexley, an affluent suburb of Columbus. "He doesn't understand what it takes to make the economy work on a personal basis."

La Cocina VA Named ‘One of the Best’ Nonprofits by the Catalogue for Philanthropy
lacocina
As it Celebrates its 15th Anniversary Serving the Greater Washington Region, the Catalogue for Philanthropy is Proud to Honor La Cocina VA
WASHINGTON, D.C. June 12th, 2017. After a careful vetting process, the Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington has selected La Cocina VA to be part of the Class of 2017-18.
La Cocina VA has undergone an extensive review process, and has met the Catalogue’s high standards. Potential donors can be confident that the nonprofits in the Catalogue are worthy of their support. “La Cocina VA’s mission is to use the power of food as an agent of social and economic change generating workforce and economic development”
This year the Catalogue celebrates its 15th anniversary: since its inception it has raised $38 million for nonprofits in the region. It also offers trainings, neighborhood-based opportunities for collaboration, and a speakers series for individuals who want to learn about and engage with the needs, challenges, and accomplishments of our shared community.
This year, reviewers helped select 76 charities to feature in the print edition, 34 of which are new to the Catalogue this year. It also selected an additional 32 nonprofits to be re-featured on its website, and congratulated ten on growing beyond its $3million budgetary limit. The network now includes over 400 vetted nonprofits working in the arts, education, environment, human services, and international sectors throughout greater Washington. (International charities must be headquartered in the DC region.)
“People want to know where to give and they need trusted information. Based on our in-depth review, we believe that La Cocina VA is one of the best community-based nonprofits in the region,” says Barbara Harman, founder and president of the Catalogue for Philanthropy.
“Our work empowers immigrants for culinary jobs and entrepreneurship, while promoting healthy food. The impact of our work represents a circle of sustainability that creates job opportunities, fosters small business development and provides healthier eating options for the most needed,” says Patricia Funegra, Founder and CEO of La Cocina VA.
The Catalogue believes in the power of small nonprofits to spark big change. As the only locally-focused guide to giving, its goal is to create visibility for the best community-based charities, fuel their growth with philanthropic dollars, and create a movement for social good in the greater Washington region. The Catalogue charges no fees; it raises funds separately to support its work.

Hives Frontman Details Origin Of Rock Music
David Bauder of TeenMusic.com profiled the Hives and quote frontman Pelle Almqvist talking about his theory on the origin of rock music, which he thinks was an invention of 50 drunk people. “The way I see it, it has to be simple and in its purest form,” he said. “It has to be bigger than the sum of its parts. And it’s OK to just have two chords, if it’s the right two chords.” The story at Teenmusic.com has since been removed.

8. In early results, Chris Bunker, an auditor, held a slim lead over Rhonda Shader, an insurance agent, for third place. But they then swapped places and Shader maintained her lead over Bunker after the Orange County Registrar of Voters tallied all of the mail-in and provisional ballots for Placentia. As of Wednesday, Shader had 6,071 votes to Chris Bunkers 5,869. Yamaguchi had 7,740 votes and Smith had 7,700. Bunker said the election process has been an exciting learning experience and its evident Placentia residents care about how the city is managed. Although it seems unlikely I’ll serve on City Council, I wish Rhonda Shader, Ward Smith and Jeremy Yamaguchi the best of luck as they deal with the issues facing the city, Bunker said. I’m confident Placentia residents will continue to voice their concerns to the City Council.

GALLERY: AGONIZING WAYS YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM COULD LOSE IN WEEK 13 Tim Hightower (vs. Detroit) Hightower also received glowing covering in this weeks Target and Snap Report. The abridged version is that the Saints run a ton of plays, score a lot of points (especially at home), and give plenty of touches to both Hightower and Mark Ingram. The over/under on Lions-Saints is 53.5, with the home team laying 5.5 points. If you own a player in this game, youre going to want to start him. Hightower should get 15-plus touches, and he has made the most of his opportunities all year. Sit Wendell Smallwood (at Cincinnati) The only certainty in the Philadelphia backfield is uncertainty. With Ryan Mathews (knee) out last week, Smallwood was in line to lead the team as the primary runner. That came to fruition, but resulted in only nine carries and 10 total touches. Unpredictability is a fantasy owners greatest enemy. Even if Smallwood gets, say, 15 or more touches, his ceiling is that of a low-end RB2.

Rogers Media and OMNI Television Proudly Continue to Serve Canada’s Multicultural and Multilingual Audiences

TORONTO (May 23, 2019) – Rogers Media and OMNI Television will build on their depth of experience to bring diverse audiences the multilingual and multicultural programming they trust and love, following today’s CRTC 9(1)(h) licence decision.

The customer isn't right when it comes to higher education
Please chip in to support rabble's election 2019 coverage. Support rabble.ca today for as little as $1 per month!
The University of Toronto, where I've been privileged to teach a half-course for decades (and more recently two half-courses, fall and spring) is being struck by its 6,000 teaching assistants, including my own. Together with contract faculty -- those on short-term contracts without security and far less pay or benefits than tenured profs -- they handle maybe 60 per cent of courses. The latter are currently voting on an offer. The TAs are picketing but not asking anyone to cancel or skip classes. At York, both categories are on strike and the university simply shut down, demonstrating how indispensable those roles are. This isn't Huxley College that Groucho Marx presided over in Horse Feathers, with berobed, bewhiskered profs.
It also isn't the union world of Solidarity Forever. Solidarity is an old-fashioned word like horse feathers but it's not as quaint as it sounds. The basic idea is that it's very hard to win a strike, especially in the public sector where public funds are involved, without showing your fellow citizens that your cause is also in their interest. The leaders of Toronto's disastrous garbage strike of 2009 didn't bother and had their members' jobs privatized out of existence.
Making that case here would require widening the view. The internal debate between the unions and the university administrators is over how to divide the current pot and my sympathies tend to slide toward those at the very long short end of the budgetary stick: the TAs and contract profs versus managers, fancy facilities etc. But the public's stake is rather different.
The nub, I'd say, is that under severe financial stress, universities increasingly moved toward a narrow, customer-service model. They're still mainly funded -- over 60 per cent -- publicly. But tuition is way up -- about 300 per cent -- since 1990. To cover that, many students and families go deeply into debt, and then justify it via the money value of having a degree. To save further, class sizes have ballooned and teaching got farmed out to TAs and contract faculty -- some of whom are now nearing retirement without ever scoring a solid university job.
This cheapens both the teaching and the learning process. You don't teach well if you feel demeaned and you don't learn well if you feel you're being processed. So what? If you're paying a ton to get a degree that'll give you a leg up in a tough economy, just gimme the grades and I don't care. Except human beings don't actually work that way, they want more despite their bitter realism, and education promises it. An undergrad career should really be about enriching your life and learning to think critically enough to be an astute citizen. From society's point of view, anything else leads to cynicism and dysfunction. So it's not just the registered customers who have a stake, it's all of us and our future.
The long-term solution -- not to the strikes but the deterioration -- is changing the model. As long as individual students or families are being squeezed to pay, they'll keep demanding verifiable returns. And as long as universities need those revenues, they'll respond with short-term accommodations because in the model, the customer is always right. So change the customer. Let it become society -- all of us -- with our larger interests. We all pay. The short-term pressures abate. Universities focus on learning or teaching, not satisfying customer demands.
Where would the money come from? Taxes, of course. Is that stupidly unrealistic? The same claims were made against free, i.e. tax-funded, public schools in the 1930s and public health-care in the 1960s. Germany has no tuition fees for any of its universities and it's not exactly dreamy or impractical. The same goes for many other places. When I was in Finland I met a university president who had to return tuition fees to foreign students who'd happily paid them, so as not to set a bad precedent. The only unreal thing about free higher education is that it seems so unreal. We should feel ashamed.
Let me end by stressing how the customer-service model infects learning itself. I sympathize with students who have to work, take on debt or deal with parental pressure. When we spend time on topics not directly connected to getting a degree or job, I sometimes feel embarrassed and want to apologize (and sometimes do). But universities will never be good job placement agencies. Those tasks belong to business and governments. The customer in this case isn't right -- and doesn't even want to be the customer. Time to give it a rest.

Media: Get the story straight on U of T strike
Since members of CUPE 3902 went on strike last Friday, there has been very little coverage in the mainstream media that accurately conveys the demands of the striking workers.

On one side of campus is a gritty, jampacked building where students share sofa space and sweat; on the other, a pristine ten-storey cathedral of glass an light housing a handful of administrators.

Living Faith: Dear Florence…if we should be so blessed, see you on the other side
Florence Jordahl talks about her life from her room at Bethany on 42nd in south Fargo. David Samson / The Forum
Her last letter to me was postmarked July 5, and I looked forward to responding, but by the time I was able to, it was too late.
Our family’s late summer vacation also had complicated things; I didn’t learn of Florence Jordahl’s Aug. 18 passing until mid-September.
The notification came from her family — not handwritten in beautiful scrawl as all her letters had been, but computer-composed, and, naturally, sent at her request. She’d wanted her family to communicate with those she’d kept in touch with after her death, they’d written.
No surprise there, for the people in her life mattered so much. She made sure they knew it, and also knew about Jesus. She was not embarrassed to proclaim her trust in God wherever, and however, she went.
I first met Florence through her lovely letters, which I wrote about in June. I wish I could find now where I tucked away that first note; it was the start of something special.
Receiving an actual “snail mail,” personalized letter these days seems treat enough, but additionally, this one had been written by a woman in her 90s. She wanted to thank me for my column and further encourage me, and the words of hope transmitted therein seemed to come alive in my hands.
Thinking about the trouble she’d gone through to reach out, I had to reach back. So I made arrangements to meet her at her home at Bethany on 42nd, and was joyfully received.
Sharing with a friend later about Florence’s convictions, she suggested I feature Florence in the paper. Indeed, I thought, Florence and her fire for the Lord would be most fitting for this space.
I couldn’t have known that just two months after I sat in Florence’s presence for the interview, she’d be in the presence of the King of Kings. And though only God knows for sure the contents of his court, there’s little doubt to me of Florence’s current whereabouts.
When the news of her passing finally did reach me, I was stunned and saddened. Yes, she’d just reached 95, so it shouldn’t have come as a shock, and yet it did.
The thing is, Florence didn’t present herself as a dying woman. Her spirit was so visibly overflowing that it spilled into every exchange, each word she poured onto her lined papers and floral stationery. Florence oozed the love of God and lived with such intention and clarity that one sensed only an aliveness when speaking with her.
Her last letter brought thanks for the article. “I know it’s all from God,” she wrote, pointing, as always, to the one who’d called her into life. She then apologized for the delay, explaining that she’d been “very busy answering thank-you notes or from those who have experienced the Holy Spirit.”
This was Florence’s deal — searching out and connecting with those who needed to know the life-giving message of the Gospel, and absorbing all she could from others who fed her soul.
She delighted in the thought that so many had seen the article — not for her glory, but God’s. The piece had allowed her one last big shout-out to Jesus, which greatly pleased her; again, not for self-aggrandizement, but because of its potential to draw others into God’s tender and merciful heart.
Not only was she keenly observant about God’s ways, Florence noticed everything around her. For instance, she commented in her last note about how impressed she’d been by the photographer’s movements — his crouching down low to capture her hands just right. “I talk with my hands … it really added that touch.”
Her closing made me chuckle. She admitted that after I’d left that day, she’d begun regretting having allowed the interview, questioning her openness. But then quickly, she surmised, “It was the devil. I told him to get out.”
Ah Florence, if anyone could send the devil scurrying, it would be you and the stunning light you bore. I’ve said before, and will again now, that I want to be Florence when I grow up. I really do.
The envelope from her family also included a worship aid from her funeral, where, they mentioned, the article had been displayed. How happy it makes me to know the story of Florence’s life’s movements had been told, and shared, both prior to — and now after — her death.
I smiled, too, to see the songs chosen — likely by Florence herself: “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” “Living for Jesus,” and “It’s No Secret (What God Can Do).”
“It’s no secret what God can do, what He has done for others, He will do for you. With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you. It’s no secret what God can do.”
To the family of Florence Jordahl, thank you for sharing this precious little lady with us. Her light shines on and on. And now to live in a way that we might all see her, and Jesus, on the other side.

Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S. of ...
I'm not planning to join in the Centennial threads, as the war is almost over. That said, now that I've learned from their rules things new to me, like Manual Pilot Creation and using Quick Combat for training, I've gone off the OCD deep end.
I found that the earliest I can start a new career is January 1915, and that all the QC mission I fly will be applied to that day. I then realized that I could use the QC to practice and write my own personal log to assign those missions an earlier date. I then wondered how far back I could take it.
Then I realized that, while the 100th anniversary will never return, the 104th is happening right now. RAF No 3 squadron was the first to cross over to France for the war, with several others only days behind. That was August 13. Since I wanted to have a fighter pilot and a two-seater pilot from each power running simultaneously, I figured why not do the research for the squadrons I wanted and find out where they were on August 1. Or July 30, which was yesterday, and the day I wanted to start this mess. So I created a French pilot. The earliest date I could find was August 12, so I created the pilot and flew a QC mission, choosing an airfield for my "training" base and practicing touch-and-goes in a Caudron G.IV. I'll continue this sort of thing until August 12, then move to the base they were actually at during that time. It's weird, but I'm starting a career at the very beginning of the war, and almost a year before the eindeckers made their first appearance.
But that's just me...
Some people are born stupid. I've had to work hard my whole life to get this way. I'm proud of the job I've done
#4432441 - 08/01/18 02:33 AM Re: My Own Brand Of Crazy [Re: Sailor_Steve]
And then something really awesome happened, all by itself:
It's not enough for me to just make up a pilot. I want real names, so I came up with a generator using dice and websites dedicated to names - British, French, German - first, last and middle, and to generate city names as well. And that's where it got weird.
My first pilot is French. I rolled a 14 for the first name, so it starts with 'N'. A further roll came up with 'Noel'. I rolled for a middle name, and he has one. Being French, he might have a few more, so I rolled for that. Nope, only one. The next roll was a 15, so it begins with 'O'. The only 'O' I could find on the list I had was 'Odil'. For the last name it came up 11, which is 'K'. The only French last names beginning with 'K' on the list I had were 'Kay' and 'Kirouac'. A further roll said his full name is Noel Odil Kay. Unusual, but there it is. Except it gets even weirder.
For the city I rolled an 9, which is 'I'. I could find exactly zero French cities beginning with 'I'. Well, except for "Irish Nantes". That's a nickname, and it came about apparently because Nantes was founded by Irish smugglers as a base from which to sneak things into England. And it turns out that 'Kay' is a Celtic name. One source says it's related to MacKay and McKay, but it's also the name of King Arthur's foster brother and Chamberlain, Sir Kay, or Sir Kai in the earlier versions.
So there you have it. Noel Kay's surname comes about because he's descended from the Irish smugglers who founded Nantes. And that's the weirdness. I didn't come up with that origin and then make up the names, I rolled up the names and the story is a logical explanation for something that actually had nothing to do with me at all. Like I said at the beginning, "all by itself".

Proud BOC inductee 4/30/12!
02/08/1914 Caporal Noel Kay has been transferred from Breuil-le Sac to Camp de Chalons where Escadrille C13 is forming. It seems that the rising tensions between France and Germany over the declaration of war by Austria-Hungary on Serbia knows no end. Actual hostilities may not be far off.
Meanwhile, In England I've created a new pilot. Sergeant Corrigan Yegor "Corrie" Aujla, of Saanitch, British Columbia, Canada, has begun training with No 3 Squadron RFC at Netheravon. One of the fun things I just discovered on my own is that you can not only select the season in Quick Combat but also the airplane. This is good because the game has No 3 Squadron starting in January 1915 with Morane parasols, and that is when they first outfitted with that aircraft. Prior to that they were flying BE.2s. With QC I can actually change it so my British pilots are flying BE.2s for the first few months of the war.
I love this game.
Noel Kay is busy flying orientation flights to learn the area of Chalons.
Corrie Aujla is also doing orientation flights around the middle of England.
A side note: My stepmother had been to France and loved the wine country, so she named her daughter for that region, with a spelling variation: Chelon..
Escadrille C13 got word that late yesterday afternoon Germany declared war on France. Noel Kay and Caporal Alfred Esnault made a flight from Chalons to Nancy and back.
With No 3 Squadron in Netheravon, Corrie Aujla has been assigned a senior observer. He made his first flight with Captain Fabio Carlson aboard. His first opinion of his new aircraft commander is "He drinks too much." On the other hand he's starting to become friends with Welsh pilot Sergeant Robbie Reinard.
In France, Noel Kay and Alfred Esnault make a flight from Chalons to Auve and back, with some sightseeing along the way.
In England they receive the news that at 2300 hours last night Britain declared war on Germany, due to that country's invasion of Belgium.
Corrie Aujla makes another very long flight with Captain Carlson. They head south to the Channel coast and when Aujla starts to turn back, Carlson begins waving at him from the front cockpit, signalling him to keep heading south. Following orders Augla travels out over the Channel until they are out of sight of land. Carlson then signals him to turn east. Aujla does so, but after a few minutes begins to worry about their fuel and turns back northward. Carlson signals him to turn eastward again, but Aufla ignores the Captain's frantic waving and returns to land. By this time a thick fog has set in and Aujla becomes disoriented and heads west rather than north. With the sun setting and fuel running low he finally sets the plane down in a field near the town of East Wittering. After berating Aujla for a time Carlson seems to realize that he might not want the attention punishing Aujla might bring to him. They finally find a house with a telephone and manage to get through to Netheravon, informing their commander of where they are and that they will find gas in the morning and head for home. The family invites them to sleep in their barn.
6 August 1914:
In France, Noel Kay makes another flight, this time to Belrain and return. No news from Belgium.
In England Corrie Aufla and Capt Fabio Carlson are awakened at 0300 by the family with whom they have taken shelter for the night. Father and son take them in a horse-drawn wagon to a gasoline storage facility on the outskirts of East Wittering. The man there fills a tank on the back of a lorry and gives them a ride back to the farm, along with the father. The son follows with the wagon. When they explain that they will have to return with payment they are told that with the new war brewing this one is free. The plane is filled and at 0405 they take off in the dark. The sun rises while they are in flight and they land back at Netheravon in time for breakfast. Captain Carlson says nothing of their disagreement, so neither does Sergeant Aujla.
In France Caporal Noel Kay suffers an engine failure three minutes after takeoff. On landing the plane hits a tree and is badly damaged. Caporal Esnault is unharmed, but Kay receives a severe gash to the forehead and is taken to the town hospital.
At Netheravon in England Sgt Corrie Aujla and Capt Fabio Carlson make an extended flight northeast to Oxford, south to Portsmouth then northwest back to Netheravon. Total flight time is 3 hours 1 minute.
In France Noel Kay sits in a small cottage hospital in Chalons while Escadrille C 13 moves to their new field at Verdun.
In England Corrie Augla continues his training with 3 Sqdn. Today is a flight from Netheravon to Woking and back.
Good reading with a cup of coffee in the morning!
Thanks! I have extended logs in the form of diaries for both, but I think a quick summary is less boring.
Chalons: Noel Kay is informed by the doctor that he could probably leave now, but they want to keep him under observation for a couple more days.
Netheravon: 3 Squadron is informed that British troops are organizing for the cross-channel trip to France, and they will be following soon after. Corrie Aujla's flight takes him and Capt Carlson far to the northeast and back. Aujla now has passed the 20-hour mark in the BE.2. The weather continues overcast as it has been for the past couple of weeks.
Chalons: Noel Kay is now being told that he can probably leave for Verdun in a couple of days, but won't be cleared to fly for another week. Meanwhile news has come through that French forces have attacked the Germans near Mulhouse, in Alsace. This is the first fighting by our troops.
Netheravon: Sgt Corrie Aujla and Capt Fabio Carlson flew eastward today, to Guilford, then northeast to London. From there they followed the Thames, heading back up-river to Esher in the southwest, then northwest to Woking. From there it was west by southwest back to Netheravon. Flight time was 2 hours 39 minutes.
Chalons: Noel Kay writes "Still sitting out in the warm afternoon sun. I could grow used to this. News came that yesterday the Germans captured Liège in Belgium, and have re-taken Mulhouse."
Netheravon: No flying today. No 3 Squadron is moving to Swingate Down tomorrow and every man is busy organizing and packing for the equipment to be moved directly to Dover.
Chalons:
Noel Kay writes: Today we received news that France and Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary yesterday.
0930 A car came to take me to our airfield at Verdun. We arrived at 1237. Three and a half hours! I could have flown there in one hour. Anyway, the boys were all happy to see me.
Swingate Down:
Corrigan Aujla writes:
0748: Squadron took off for Dover via Brighton. At 0916 my friend Robbie Reinard suffered an engine failure and landed just east of Brighton. Lt Salmond had us land nearby. After examining the situation he had us take off for Eastbourne at 0927. From there the Lt took off with a mechanic. at 1354 he returned with Robbie's BE. in tow. At 1420 the Squadron took off for Dover. at 1520 we landed at Swingate Down and were assigned quarters for the night.
Time in aircraft: 26.13 hours. Total flight time: 26.13 hours.
Verdun:
Noel Kay writes:
Yesterday Belgian troops defeated the Germans at Haelen. The Austro-Hungarians have started their invasion of Serbia.
0947: First flight in almost a week. Flew around the Verdun area, learning what is where. 33 minutes.
Amiens:
At 0625 No 2 Squadron took off for Amiens. We are to follow shortly.
0815: Squadron took off from Swingate Down for Calais and then to Amiens. We have some concerns about Robbie's engine, but the local mechanics assure us it is in good working order.
08:52 Crossed French coast west of Calais. Headed west.
0900: Turned south, following coast.
0925: Turned inland, following the Somme River.
1002: Having skirted the forest around Abbeville, we turned south towars Amiens.
1020: Landed at Amiens. There we met the boys from No 2 Sqdn, and they had a good story to tell. It seems their commander, Major Burke, had them travel around the forest as we did, just to ensure a place to land in case of engine trouble. One of his pilots, Lt Harvey-Kelly, positioned himself at the rear, broke off and flew straight across the forest. When the group landed at Amiens they found Harvey-Kelly's BE already there, making himself the first British pilot to land in France for the war!
Started another new pilot. No 3 Squadron is destined to be a fighter unit, and I wanted another one that would remain in two-seaters.
Noel Kay is still busy learning the area. Meanwhile news has come through that yesterday the Austro-Hungarians began their invasion of Serbia.
Corrigan Aujla and his observer Captain Fabio Carlson are spending time flying around Amiens, getting to know the area and their comrades from No 2 Squadron.
Eastchurch, England:
Sergeant Ries Meismer has begun training with No 4 Squadron at Eastchurch. Today was a 45-minute flight up to London, eastward down the Thames then south back to Eastchurch. It's a quiet little town right on the coast.

The Bull Hotel is Peterborough's premier hotel and is the only AA recognised four-star hotel in the city centre. Originally dating back to the seventeenth century, this grade two listed building has, over the years, been carefully restored and tastefully refurbished, to provide guests with a high degree of comfort. Offering 118 bedrooms in total, the contemporary rooms all include free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffee making facilities, whilst upgraded rooms offer air-conditioning and some include fridges. The hotel also provides facilities for meetings and conferences alongside a restaurant and bar.
The Drivers For Change
For over 30 years The Bull Hotel had been using a BT Regent phone system, which, in the words of the their Maintenance Manager, Howard Vacca, was becoming 'antiquated'. 'It actually still worked incredibly well and did everything we wanted it to do, the problem was that BT no longer supported the system; we hadn't been covered by maintenance for two years and spare parts were becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of,' said Mr Vacca. 'We desperately needed a new system ' but we wanted to ensure that the one we eventually chose had the potential to last us for another 30 years!.'
'We'd previously been speaking to GreenCity Solutions about the PeterboroughCore project, and phone systems had cropped up in conversation. Being a local company, we viewed GreenCity Solutions as a key potential technology supplier and by that time we'd been looking for a new phone system for about two years. We'd talked to other comms suppliers, but none of them were convincing and they certainly didn't take the time to explain things in a clear and concise manner in the way that Rob from GreenCity Solutions did,' continued Mr Vacca.
Choosing A New System
'We'd already received quotations from BT, Mitel and Panasonic so we had an idea of general costs, but we really liked the SpliceCom system proposed by GreenCity Solutions. It's 100% British made and very well priced. It actually came in under the other quotes, and gave us a whole lot more for our money,' enthused Mr Vacca. 'In addition the SpliceCom PCS 552s seemed the perfect IP handsets for our office staff to quickly and easily transfer calls between departments. In the end it was a very easy choice for us to make.'
In the end the Bull Hotel chose a SpliceCom 5100 IP PBX as the basis for their system, with analogue phones for all the bedrooms and PCS 552 IP Phones for the reception, bar, restaurant and back of house areas.
Pain Free Installation
'The installation was fantastic and was completely seamless - we experienced no downtime whatsoever,' continued Mr Vacca. 'The new SpliceCom system was installed next to our existing BT system, we then switched the trunk lines over. There was no disruption to guest services, no complaints and definitely no loss of business. We planned for up to an hour of downtime, so this went far beyond our expectations, it all worked from the off. The GreenCity Solutions engineers were extremely professional, very thorough, very clean and above all very considerate. The Engineering Manager was extremely thorough, and took his time in making sure everything was working before he left.'
'The roll out was done in one hit, over 4 days. There was lots of new wiring to install, along with a new server cabinet. However, it only took one day to install and swap over the new telephone system and a days worth of thorough training. We had three planning meetings leading up to the installation, all very thorough. It was important, it was right and we had covered everything. It all went so smoothly that I can't see any reason why we wouldn't extend the system to the nine other sites in the Peel Hotels group,' said Mr Vacca.
Delivering Personalised Customer Service
The introduction of the SpliceCom system allows The Bull Hotel to offer a far more personal and memorable guest experience, prompting staff to set features such as a Wake Up call upon the guests checking in. It's also allowed them to replace their previous pager system, allowing them respond far quicker should a guest contact reception out of hours. In addition they've deployed software recommended by SpliceCom, Tiger TMS, that merges the new telephone system with their front of house software, Paragon. The integration means that the hotel can offer a far more personalised service. For example, rather than a room number, the guests names now appear on the telephone display as they ring reception, allowing staff to deliver a more personal touch to the guests that stay at The Bull Hotel.
So Good, We'll Do It Again!
'If you are looking for a complete voice solution fully supported by a knowledgeable local supplier then SpliceCom and GreenCity Solutions form the perfect partnership. A sturdy, robust and resilient telephone system that helps your business to go the extra mile when it comes to customer service, fully backed with a professional, knowledgeable and accessible service from GreenCity Solutions. Our Head Office is extremely pleased with the new system, and is looking to roll it out to more hotels and offices. As for The Bull Hotel right now, it fair to say that our new telephone system does more than we ever expected!' concludes Howard Vacca.

Tour organizers don't want Froome on starting line
by Eunice Delgado - at Juillet 04, 2018
Team Sky has responded, saying: "We are confident that Chris will be riding the Tour as we know he has done nothing wrong".
According to the newspaper, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) - the Tour de France organisers - have informed Team Sky they don't want Froome to be on the starting line. He could face a ban and be stripped of several results if found guilty, while in recent weeks five-time Tour victor Bernard Hinault has called on Froome's competitors to strike if the Team Sky rider turns up in the Vendee region for the Grand Depart.
Technically, while Froome awaits the result of an ongoing investigation into his Salbutamol case, he can still ride on the Tour.
Sky, ASO and the French Olympic Committee will each choose an arbiter to decide whether Froome should be allowed to start the Tour.
Prudhomme, once a journalist, would not blame the situation on the UCI's president, David Lappartient, who took over the position from Brian Cookson last autumn.
Team Sky have yet to unveil their eight-strong Tour team.
Froome is the defending champion with this year's Tour beginning on Saturday (July 7).
Froome, who says he has suffered from asthma since the age of 18, had double the permitted 1,000 nanograms per millilitre (ng/ml) in his system when tested at last year's Vuelta a Espana.
Froome took a sensational victory at the Giro d'Italia in June to hold all three Grand Tour jerseys at the same time.
The drug widens the airways and allows the taker to breathe more easily, and Froome was found with twice the allowed limit of salbutamol in a urine sample.
British rider Chris Froome has been reportedly banned from the Tour de France.

Tourist bitten by shark off Florida coast
Attack is third of its kind this week
Friday, July 1, 2005; Posted: 3:10 p.m. EDT (19:10 GMT)
An EMT wheels Armin Trojer, 19, into Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, Florida.
A 19-year-old man is bitten by a shark in Florida.(1:41)
Manage Alerts | What Is This? BOCA GRANDE, Florida (AP) -- A shark bit an Austrian tourist on an ankle Friday while the man stood in chest-deep water in the Gulf of Mexico, the sheriff's office said.
It was the third shark attack in the state in a week.
Armin Projer, 19, was airlifted by helicopter to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, where he was in good condition, hospital spokeswoman Pat Dolce said.
"It is a confirmed shark attack," Lee County sheriff's spokeswoman Ileana LiMarzi said. "Someone else in the water saw a shark."
Paramedics also indicated the wound was consistent with a shark bite, she said.
The man was bitten near the lighthouse at Gasparilla Island Beach.
"We are out there right now letting people know, notifying people on the beach about what happened," LiMarzi said.
The beach was not closed to swimmers.
Two other young people have been bitten since Saturday in gulf water off Florida. The latest incident was about 280 miles from an attack Monday on a 16-year-old boy who lost his leg and about 350 miles from the spot where a 14-year-old girl was killed Saturday.
Experts believed bull sharks attacked both teens in the Florida Panhandle. The type of shark involved in Friday's attack was not immediately determined.
Experts say shark attacks are rare, pointing out that there were only 30 in 2003 among the millions of people who hit the state's beaches. Most of those attacks were minor bites on the feet or ankles.
Last year, when four hurricanes kept many visitors away, there were 12 attacks.
Shark attacks teen off Boca Grande

Lee County emergency technicians transfer a shark bite victim into Lee Memorial Hospital Friday afternoon. The victim was attacked by a shark off the shore of Boca Grande and was transported to the hospital by helicopter. GARTH FRANCIS/news-press.com
By GRANT BOXLEITNER, gboxleitner@news-press.com & SARAH LUNDY, slundy@news-press.com
A 19-year-old Austrian tourist attacked while swimming off Boca Grande has five to seven lacerations on his right ankle consistent with a single shark bite, his doctor announced at 4 p.m. in Lee Memorial Hospital.
Armin Trojer, of Baden, Austria, will undergo surgery at 5 p.m. to repair major tendons and vessels around the foot and ankle, Dr. Anthony Dalley said at a press conference.
“It appears that he has several large wounds, fairly jagged in nature and fairly deep, which would fit a shark bite,” said Dalley, an emergency room physician in the trauma center.
The lacerations are 5 to 7 inches deep, but TrojerÂ’s prognosis is good, Dalley said. He should have no problem walking again.
The attack occurred this morning near the lighthouse at Gasparilla Island Beach.
Trojer was upright in the water when he was bitten, said Lee County sheriffÂ’s spokeswoman Ileana LiMarzi.
“It is a confirmed shark attack,” LiMarzi said. “Someone else in the water saw a shark.”
Dalley said Trojer did not see what got him, but felt something grab on to his ankle and let go.
He realized he was bleeding and started making his way to shore, Dalley said, relaying TrojerÂ’s story. The teenager called to his father, who helped him out of the water and onto the beach.
“I think he’s fairly lucky,” Dalley said. “He appears to have a single bite.”
When he arrived at the hospital, his leg was splinted and he had pressure bandages to prevent more blood loss.
Surgeon Brian Burg will operate.
Witnesses say Trojer was hopping and had a bloody foot when he came ashore. Apparently, he didnÂ’t know if heÂ’d been bit by a shark or a jelly fish.
Aaron Denson, 14, vacationing from Missouri, was swimming near the lighthouse with his cousin and aunt when he saw the man coming out of the water.
Denson ran to his vacation rental to get help while others called 911. He returned with his uncle and his cousin, Mindy Denson, 21, who brought a small first aid kit.
“When we got down there, I thought 'this isn’t going to cut it,'” Mindy Denson said.
Another woman on the beach had already wrapped a towel around his ankle, which was bleeding heavily.
Paramedics arrived and loaded him on a stretcher, then transported him by helicopter to Lee Memorial Hospital.
At 4 p.m., a trail of blood remained in the sand, running from the water about 50 feet toward the lighthouse.
News of the attack spread quickly on the small island.
Selina Stephens, 46, is a bartender at South Beach Bar and Grill.
“As soon as we saw the fire trucks go by, we wanted to know what was happening,” Stephens said.
Cell phones started ringing. Nextels starting beeping.
“We knew within minutes what happened,” she said.
Hours later, the story of the shark bite has grown. People are talking about how the man lost his leg, the shark ate a 3-year-old and now, two girls are missing, Stephens said.
LiMarzi said deputies notified people on the beach about what happened but did not close the beach to swimmers.
The attack is the third off the coast of Florida recently. A 14-year-old Louisiana girl was killed near Pensacola last month when a shark attacked her while she was swimming with friends. Three days later, a 16-year-old boy from Tennessee was bitten and critically injured near Panama City.
Experts believed bull sharks attacked both teens in the Florida Panhandle. The type of shark involved in the Boca Grande attack was not immediately determined.
Experts point out that shark attacks are rare, pointing out that there were only 30 in 2003 among the millions of people who hit the stateÂ’s beaches. Most of those attacks were minor bites on the feet or ankles. Last year, when four hurricanes kept many visitors away, there were 12 attacks.
The week of August 05, 2005
Researchers seek return of shark tooth
When he returned to his home town of Baden, Austria, after an eventful vacation, Armin Trojer took a little piece of Florida with him: a tooth fragment from the shark that nearly severed his ankle while he was swimming near the lighthouse on July 1.
The tooth was apparently given to Trojer by the surgeons who operated on him at Lee Memorial Hospital. Now, scientists at the University of Florida's Program for Shark Research and International Shark Attack File would like to get it back, at least for a little while.
"He probably took it as a souvenir," said George H. Burgess, the program's director. "The timing was bad. The attack happened on a Friday, Monday was a holiday and I had to hit the road Tuesday to attend some meetings.
"My staff started making calls about the tooth Tuesday morning, but by the time they got back to the physicians, Trojer had been released with the tooth. The prospects of getting it back are reduced now he's back in his own country, but one of my assistants speaks German, and we will be composing letter to him in German, once we locate his actual address."
Trojer, 19, was standing in chest-deep water when, around 11:30 a.m., he felt a tug on his ankle. He hobbled to the beach, where his father Werner and other beachgoers saw blood streaming down his foot.
One woman called 911 on a cell phone while a nurse from Arcadia rushed to Trojer's aid, applying a tourniquet until EMS personnel arrived. Trojer was airlifted to the hospital.
As the third shark attack on a Florida beach in one week, Trojer's misfortune received worldwide attention. Over 150 German-language articles about it appeared on the World Wide Web, most of them repeating the same news wire story.
The other two attacks, which occurred in the Florida Panhandle, killed a 14-year-old girl and caused a 16-year-old boy to lose his leg.
If the fragment can be recovered, Burgess said, and if it is large enough, he and his colleagues may be able to determine what species of shark bit Trojer.
"Different shark species have different shapes of teeth," Burgess explained. "The angle of the tooth coming out of gums and the serrations on its edge are all very helpful in determining species.
"Usually we don't get tooth fragments from most bites, just if it hits bone. It breaks when the shark moves its head. It's lucky for us, not for the victim."
While it may be moot to Trojer, Burgess said it's important for the scientific community to determine what species of shark was involved, to see if species was a factor in why the attack occurred.
"Both outcomes and styles of attack are related to the species," Burgess said. "It's unlikely Trojer was attacked by a bull shark. His injuries would have been a whole lot worse, I think."
What happened to Trojer mostly fit a "typical shark attack pattern for Florida," Burgess said. He described it as a "hit and run" event on the east coast, a quick grab or slash and no return engagement, leaving wounds below the knee on the foot.
The typical victim is a Caucasian surfer, 15 to 30 years old, in the surf zone. Such an attack usually does not result in severe injuries, just lacerations or puncture wounds. It requires sutures but there's no loss of tissue or function.
"The shark mistakes the surfer's foot for the activity of a normal prey item," Burgess explained. "The ones in the Panhandle and on Boca Grande were unique. They were non-surfers, the geographic location was the Gulf rather than the east coast, and the first two cases were severe injuries with multiple bites."
Burgess suspects the shark that attacked Trojer was a black tip, since they were traveling through the area and have been implicated in attacks on the east coast.
The frequency of shark attacks is dictated by human activity, Burgess said.
"As humans go into the water in record numbers, dictated by the continuous rise in population and increased interest in aquatic recreation, the time spent in the sea on activities often provocative to sharks increases," he warned. "Each decade has more attacks than the previous one, and this trend will continue to rise in future.
"We're flooding sharks out of their own environment. If the trend continues, all you guys in the news business will be writing about will be shark attacks. There's unparalleled media interest, a scramble for a sound bite on every half-hour news show.
"It's on the air ad nauseum. It gets beat into ground."

Movies and TV shows paint a pretty glamorous picture of fake IDs, but using one IRL isn't as effortless as it seems on the big screen. Bouncers and liquor stores employees deal with underage kids on the regular and are pros at catching fake IDs.
We spoke to several sources about what exactly goes down when someone tries to use a fake ID to get into a bar or to buy booze -- including what happens when an ID gets confiscated or turned into the cops. Find out the answers to all your fake ID questions below...
Are bouncers really that good at spotting fake IDs?State Law Share Data Cabinet Draft Personal For To Bodies
Yes. Yes, they are.
"When you have thousands of IDs passed through your hands, you start to figure it out," former bouncer and current Kindles Single writer Mishka Shubaly told us. He worked security for various bars and clubs in New York City on and off for 10 years. "If it’s delaminated, something’s up. If it’s bumpy, something’s up. If it looks like a fake, it’s probably a fake."
Shubaly never received any formal how-to-spot-a-fake-ID training, but learning this critical skill on the job isn't uncommon. A former bouncer who asked to be identified as "A.G." worked for a Philadelphia college bar during his junior and senior years of school, and had a similar experience.
Id Drivers Status And Missouri Of Real Airport Card License Regional Columbia "There are [an] infinite number of ways to spot a fake," A.G. told us. "I learned on the job with more experienced guys who gave me pointers."
Lee Tachman, the owner of a liquor store in NYC's Financial District, keeps an up-to-date identification manual in his store at all times to double-check IDs when needed. “With every [employee] here, I make sure they spend time with the manual ... If we see anyone who looks under 25, we make sure to ID them," he said.
But what if my fake ID looks exactly like a real ID?
Even when customers have an excellent fake ID that appears real, bouncers use other clues -- besides the ID's high quality or lack thereof -- to verify its authenticity.
“An indication is when you’re working the door on a Saturday night and six or eight or ten girls all show up with Hawaii IDs in different groups," Shubaly explained. "There’s just not that many people from Hawaii visiting New York going to the same bar on the same night."
A.G. saw the same phenomenon. “Kids order [fake IDs] in batches so you tend to see a lot of the same fakes between groups of friends or from the same birth year," he told us. "For example, if every Rhode Island ID I saw come by my bar in Pennsylvania was real, I would have met the entire population of Rhode Island."
I'll fool the bouncer with an ID from another country! Or a photocopy!
Using an international ID or photocopy of a passport -- even if it's actually real -- is also suspicious. "Photocopies generally aren’t good signs and bring more attention... bouncers rarely know what the real [international] ID looks like" and rarely accept them, A.G. told us.
In some states, bouncers can legally ask a customer who has an international ID to show another form of identification in order to validate their age. According to Shubaly, “[Real] passports are generally the best form of ID because the penalties are much stronger for faking passports or any kind of government ID.”
And he's completely right. Driver's licenses are state-issued, so the legal consequences of getting busted with a fake one are confined to the state level. Passports, on the other hand, are a federal document -- which means if you're caught forging one, you may be prosecuted in a federal court.
Id Drivers Status And Missouri Of Real Airport Card License Regional Columbia "Federal prosecutions are worse because federal prosecutors generally have more attorneys and money to devote to each case... your chances of winning a trial against a federal prosecution tend to be lower than in state court," criminal defense attorney Lance Fletcher told us. He’s been dealing with court cases involving fake identification since 2004.
On a more lighthearted note, having two people in a driver's license photo is also a pretty huge tipoff:

But my friend got into a club with a fake ID and the bouncer barely even glanced at it...
If a fake ID does happen to work, it probably has nothing to do with the ID itself -- at least according to A.G. and Shubaly.
"Ready for a secret? You’re not fooling anyone," A.G. said. "If you have a fake and you are let into a bar, 95% of the time it’s cause the bouncer just let you in, not 'cause you tricked them."
Shubaly said some are better than others, but a fake still looks like a fake.

“I think a staple of the experience of when a bouncer catches you with a fake ID is the first thing we’re going to do is mock you," Shubaly said. "If it’s a good fake ID we’ll say, 'You almost got there,' and if it’s a bad one we’re going [to say], 'Dude, I know you made this in your dorm room but you have access to Staples and Kinkos. Put a little more effort into it next time.'”
Here's an example of a bad fake ID, in case you were wondering:
Shubaly admitted that he didn't confiscate IDs as often as he should have: "There were definitely times when a girl gave me a fake ID and I would look at it and the height would be off by six inches and the wrong hair color and the wrong eye color -- everything was wrong -- and I was just like, ‘OK, next!'"
I can't wait 'til I'm 21. I'll be able to get in anywhere I want to!
That's not quite the case. Bouncers have all the power when it comes to letting people inside. Even if someone is of age, they can still be denied entry.
"If you're mean to us and you have a real ID, [we] might say it's fake and you won't get in," Shubaly told us. "I’ve certainly had people come up to the door who were obviously drunk or rude or just idiots and I’ll say, ‘I’m sorry, your ID from South Dakota looks suspicious. I can’t let you in the club.'"
Bouncers have to deal with a lot of sh--, so they don't want to let in anyone who could potentially cause a problem for them.
"If a dude looks like an a--hole who is going to get in a fight, he’s not getting in," A.G. told us. "If a girl stumbles in drunk and looks like she’s going to vom everywhere, she’s not getting in."
I heard that nobody actually confiscates fake IDs.
Though this is partly true, it's not always the case.
A.G.'s bar had a strict policy not to take fake IDs, an approach that worked out well for the bar's bouncers who were mostly college students themselves. "Everyone knows who we are," A.G. explained. "You see the people at the bar the next day on campus, so last thing you want [is] peers saying you took their ID or [that they] gave you money."
Evan, the manager of a wine shop in New York City’s Bronx area, told us that underage kids come into his store approximately twice per week trying to purchase alcohol with a fake ID. Like A.G., Evan doesn't confiscate IDs because it's difficult to tell if they're genuine. If an ID looks suspicious, he asks the customer to verify their address or zip code.
Id Drivers Status And Missouri Of Real Airport Card License Regional Columbia Tachman doesn't confiscate fake IDs at his liquor store either. "I’m not sure what the legality is of confiscating them," he told us. "I’m not a police officer."
Don't let these stories mislead you, though. Fake IDs do get taken. Shubaly confirmed that every big club he'd worked for had its own large box of confiscated IDs. What happened to those fakes next varies widely, however.
“There’s no uniform process -- sometimes if the person at the door was a prick, we’d tear up their ID in front of them or burn it in front of them just to piss them off," Shubaly told us. "The more diligent door guys would mail the IDs into the cops. Some door guys would hand off fake IDs to underage friends of theirs. But usually they just sat around in a box in the office."
Id Drivers Status And Missouri Of Real Airport Card License Regional Columbia Or, y'know, the bar uses the confiscated fake IDs as table decorations:
It's not like I'm going to go to jail for using a fake ID.
Fake ID users who are busted by the cops face, at the very least, several months of court cases and hefty legal expenses. The most common charge for fake IDs in New York is criminal possession of a forged instrument in the third degree, which is a class A misdemeanor that could be punished by up to a year in jail. The exact consequences depend on what type of fake ID was used and what state the crime occurred in.
“The biggest consequence if you’re convicted in New York is that it goes on your permanent record and stays with you for life,” Fletcher said.
He told us that people rarely serve jail time for using a fake ID to enter a bar or to purchase alcohol if it's their first arrest. They can still be sentenced to up to three years of probation, though, and a fine of up to $1000.
Whatever. I can just pay off the bouncer and get it back.
Maybe, maybe not.
"Bouncers aren’t paid much," A.G. told us. "Confiscating IDs is a way to make more money, and it’s easy since fake IDs are obviously illegal... Rarely will a bouncer ever take an ID and actually refuse to give it back. They are just looking for a bribe."
This doesn't universally apply to all bouncers, though. Some doormen are happy to take people's money without returning the favor. Forking over your hard-earned cash doesn't guarantee you'll get the solution you're looking for.
I may be underage, but I'm still a paying customer. Doesn't that matter?
Well, yes, it can matter a lot depending on the place.
Id Drivers Status And Missouri Of Real Airport Card License Regional Columbia "Bars at their core are [a] business, and businesses need clientele to make money," A.G. said. "Bars that otherwise wouldn’t get enough patrons tend to be more lenient [with fake IDs]."
That being said, fake IDs are a huge headache that can cause just as many, if not more, problems than they solve. The consequences of getting busted with a fake ID may far outweigh the momentary FOMO you'll feel when you're too young to go clubbing with your older friends.

On 28 Aug 2018, STEP Singapore held a full-house seminar on the topic of “Trust Over Cryptocurrencies”. Interest in the subject was sky-high and the venue was filled to absolute capacity. Chaired by STEP Singapore Branch Committee member Chan Ee Lin, Director of Wealth Management Institute, Nanyang Technological University, the seminar featured cryptocurrency legal eagles Koh Chia Ling, Managing Director, OC Queen Street LLC, and Bryan Tan, Partner, Pinsent Masons MPillay, who spoke on Cryptocurrencies, ICOs and the current state of play including regulations, as well as Professor Tang Hang Wu, School of Law, Singapore Management University, who focused on trustee duties in respect of digital assets.
Technological jargon was kept at a minimum and discussions kept laser-focused within the context of trustees’ overarching duty of care with regard to investments in cryptocurrency, i.e. trustees with duty to act prudently and safely and to take such care and act as an ordinary prudent man if he was minded to make an investment for the benefit of other people for whom he felt morally bound to provide (per Lindley LJ in Re Whitley) and to judge the risk against the entire portfolio rather than the risk attached to each investment alone. Participants learned how to analyse investing in tokens, understood what hot and cold storage issues were, and realised that the lack of clarity in relation to tax, legal and regulatory aspects etc, continued to present challenges to holding a trust over cryptocurrencies.
An informal poll taken at the seminar revealed that no trustee present was yet accepting cryptocurrencies into trusts, but many had clients who had expressed interest in injecting such assets into trusts. Also currently, it seemed that none of the Big 4 or other large audit players were willing to audit portfolios containing cryptocurrency elements, and no insurer was yet willing to insure against cryptocurrencies. Additionally, apparently not many advisors were yet willing to accept cryptocurrencies into existing portfolios. Hence, whether a prudent trustee should invest in cryptocurrencies at this point in time, may depend substantially on the trustee’s ability to hand-over-heart objectively justify the prudence of doing so.

Press Release Source: Sunergy Inc. On Monday January 28, 2013

Mr. Hale replaces Larry Max Bigler as Interim President and CEO and Mr. Bigler continues to serve as Director and Chairman of The Company's Audit Committee.

He has postponed another career opportunity to assume this leadership role in our Company. He has served on Sunergy's Advisory Board since August, 2012.

Garrett states, "In my career and all my corporations, I have never lost my investors' Capital, and in fact stayed through until they received a profit. I may appear to be a small business man, managing 5 to 50 employees, but the only game I know is profit. I am able to physically take hold of management and relations duties, and personally go to Sierra Leone and integrate my business skills with the locals as well as work with our team in Sierra Leone, Hans Strand, Sunergy's Country Administrator, Wilfred Ullrich our dredgemaster and Tayyib Bah, our Country Director in furthering the development of this company and making this enterprise highly profitable for our shareholders.

Larry Max Bigler says: "I am very pleased to have Garrett Hale assume the permanent duties of President and CEO. He has been involved in the Allied Mining venture for many years and has extensive knowledge of its operations. I have enjoyed getting to know Garrett during his service on our Advisory Board and feel confident that he will be a great addition to Management."

Warwickshire RO Needs Your Help
Warwickshire Record Office Seeks Volunteers to Index Court Documents.
From the Facebook Press Release - 27/9/2018
Warwickshire Bytes is an exciting new project involving the county's Record Office and Museum Service. It will combine historical documents and objects with digital technology to improve access to our collections and ultimately portray the history of Warwickshire in 100 Stories.
There are lots of ways to take part in the project. The project needs your memories, family heirlooms, photos and letters to bring the stories to life, and if you are comfortable using a keyboard and keen to acquire new skills during your spare time, you could become one of the Record Office's new 'virtual volunteers'!
The volunteers will work from their home computers to index a large collection of witness statements from records of early court cases. We will supply all the documents and full training will be given - all you need is a computer with an internet connection, a Google account and an hour or more to spare each week.
You will gain expertise using spreadsheets and online document sharing, while also getting to grips with 19th century crimes and handwriting. We anticipate that some of the crimes described in the statements may well be candidates for some of the 100 stories of Warwickshire!
If you are keen to take part or have a story to tell, the project team would love to hear from you. Please contact them via email on heritagevolunteers@warwickshire.org.uk for more details.
SWFHS Admitted as an FFHS Member
We are very pleased to announce that SWFHS has had its application to join the Federation of Family History Societies accepted. We hope that it gives our readers an indication of how serious we are in bringing family history and related information to those whose research includes the South Warwickshire area.

Sexy Goat-Faced Ewoks Versus The American Empire: My Avatar Review
And by “review,” I mean, “hastily scrawled impressions.”
Let’s just get out of the way: fuck it, I loved it.
Is it great? Mmm, nehhhh, ehhhh, no. That’s perhaps the film’s greatest shame — it falls short of being truly great. Still, considering that my entry-level expectations were, “This is going to be a big dumb cartoon,” that’s a good-sized jump in regards to unexpected outcome.
I’m going to keep these scribbled impressions without spoilers as much as possible, but let’s be honest: you’ve seen this movie before. You saw it when it was called Ferngully, you saw it when it was called Return of the Jedi, you saw it when it was called the Phantom Menace, you saw it when it was called Dances With Wolves, you saw it when it was called The Iraq War On CNN.
With that in mind, let’s dive in.
…are fucking incredible. Jaw-dropping, pants-shitting, socks-pissing (as in, you pee so far down your leg, it soaks your socks). I’ll eat crow on this one. I thought they were going to be cartoony. I thought they were going fall beneath the lumbering, stumbling feet of the Hype Machine. I thought the 3D would be ill-instituted and make everything look washed out. Not so. Holy shit, not so.
See, what happens is this:
The 3D does soften edges, and it does wash out colors.
The CGI has too-sharp edges, and too-bright colors.
So, the 3D actually tempers the effects and makes them look real, not fake.
It’s actually an amazing trick. Cameron deserves big ups.
And the 3D isn’t just, “Hey, an arrow at your head! Oh, snap!” It’s jungles and labs and sky islands — all coming alive. It’s crazy.
Is this a revolution in Effects, ala Jurassic Park? Mmmm? Maybe? I’m not confident enough to say that. I think it’s close. Very close. It’s the next step, if not a whole other level.
…are solid enough. The protagonist, Jake Sully, is quite likable. He’s not really deep, but that’s one of his core traits. He’s kind of a lunkhead, and not very complicated. That’s okay. His Na’vi counterpart, Naytiri, is nice enough — again, not particularly complex, but you get her. You like her. You want to bang her sexy blue goat body. (What?)
The villain — a roided-out hillbilly Colonel — is one-note, but sinister enough.
Sigourney Weaver’s Dr. Augustine has enough quirks to make her feel like a real character (though, look deep, and she mostly turns to vapor).
Everybody else… ? Ehh? They’re pretty much automatons carrying the ball forward. They do their parts and don’t fuck anything up, and none of them really go against who you believe them to be. But few of them really hit home, either. None of them really pop. Even in Spielberg movies, the lesser characters tend to pop, but here, they’re mostly vehicles for effect and story.
…is unreal. Unreal. This is an alien world that’s just enough like our own where we’re not disconnected from it, but Cameron brings it together with a delicate hand — or a heavy, unsubtle fist — when appropriate. (Though, I’ll call him out on one thing: I’ve seen far too often now the “Uh oh, we’re under attack by a big monster… that’s suddenly become food for an even bigger monster! Oh shitfuck!” And it happens twice in this sucker. Dude, Jim Cameron, buddy. Ecology is more complex than that. And surely alien worlds have weirder, wilder choices available? I digress.)
Part of the world’s rocksauceomeness might just be the effects.
The effects, in this way, are like Nutella.
You could spread Nutella on a leather glove filled with broken glass, and I would eat the shit out of it. It’s not a meal. It’s a horrible choice. But Nutella! It’s so good!
The effects are a big, creamy spread of Nutella all over this movie. I have a sneaking suspicion that, were you to scrape off that delicious delicacy, you might find a stenchy shitburger lurking underneath. But then again, who cares? Nutella. Nutella.
…is confident, compelling, steady. Hey, if Cameron knows one thing, it’s how to direct a goddamn action movie. Everything is fast, but clear — blurry, but crisp. It’s exciting as shit. He knows all the beats. He knows this dance, and it’s a new dance every time, and frankly? It’s his dancefloor anyway. This is the guy who, to me, really invented some of the big budget action aesthetic, and here he takes it to a whole other level.
… is… fine? It’s o… kay?
Best I can say is, it’s passable. It makes sense. At no time did I roll my eyes, as I do quite often with big budget monstrosities. Sure, it comes together a little hastily, and yes, sometimes the plot is given over to conveniences if not contrivances.
But, it is the weakest part of the movie. By far. A little extra money spent on the script may have gone a long way. I’ve heard tales that Cameron is a famous egomaniac, and maybe that’s true. Generally, I’m a fan. Titanic aside, I love his work, I love his ethic, I love his approach. Would this have been better had he relinquished some grip and maybe let someone else take a crack at it? Possibly. The lines-as-written are good, so it’s not in the nitty-gritty of the dialogue. It’s more in the overall plot and story where it could use a little more juicefulness.
And, compared to some other big budget extravaganzas (Transformers, Star Trek), the story is practically War and Peace. So, there’s that.
…is spraypainted on a shovel, and then is slammed into your skull.
Subtle, it ain’t.
The Na’vi are the noble savages. They are not a complicated species. They’re all shining examples of aboriginal life.
The humans are the invading American military. No, seriously. Sure, you don’t get the stars and stripes, but it’s the iconography of the American military-industrial complex.
You will hear words like “shock and awe,” and “martyrdom.”
The Na’vi are an insurgent force. They have something the humans want — the ill-named “unobtainium.” We can imagine an easy parallel to oil.
The humans become the bad guys at the end. They are killed. This isn’t a cozy, “Oh, these rogue troops are bad, but those guys are good.” Soldiers — basic grunts — get eaten by monsters, get arrows through the chests, get thrown out of ships, get shot by Jake Sully. It’s not bloody, but it’s brutal.
Further, the ecological language is uber-green. The planet is bound together in a kind of natural neural network; the Na’vi feed into it, while the humans are ignorant of it. A few references make note that the humans basically destroyed “their last planet,” and will then fuck this one up, too.
So, the message is clear.
No gray areas, here.
Spraypainted on a shovel, then — whang.
My Conclusion…
…is that I loved it anyway. Maybe I won’t later. Maybe I’ll sit down with it weeks or months from now and it won’t hold up. I’m prepared for that; it’s happened before. I watched The Phantom Menace that first (and second, and third) time and loved the unholy shit out of it.
Over time, that impression didn’t hold water. It was a bucket with a hole.
But for now, I’ll bask in the warm glow of goat-faced sexy alien love, if you don’t mind.
And I know. They’re supposed to look like cats.
Screw that. Goats. Goats. Goat love. Goat sex. All blue. All the time.
John the Great
HEY! Are you saying you didn’t like Star Trek? Cause if that’s the case, you have a date with Mr. Ipunchyourface!
And he has expensive tastes. -_-
…that joke went no where. Moving right along…
I really want to see this film. Thanks for the review, I think it answered my concerns about it so I know what to expect when I see it.
No, I liked Star Trek. But the story was clearly crippled by the writer’s strike.
It’s interesting, to me, that Phantom Menace is such a recurring touchstone in reviews of Avatar. (That and Transformers 2 keep coming up.) On a certain level that’s a clear and apt (even obvious, but not in a bad way) comparison. It’s curious, though, as I have little to no pent-up enthusiasm for Avatar. I’ll see it, sooner or later, and probably not in 3D, but I’m not jazzed. So much of Phantom Menace‘s relationship with its audience was about expectation, and I hear that I’m supposed to have game-changing expectations for Avatar, but I don’t.
I’m left wondering if Avatar‘s competency is going to come off as something grander because of my lowered expectations. I really don’t know.
That bucket-with-a-hole is a fine analogy. Though I’ve actually come back around to liking Phantom Menace just fine as a sprawling old-fashioned historical epic in space, complete with jokes that bomb and spectacles that drag. So what the hell do I know?
My expectations for Avatar were pretty meek. I like Cameron, but I really figured it would offer a reasonable, if mediocre, “event pic.”
But I liked it quite a bit more than I expected. I loved it, really — hell, a three-hour movie should drag. No drag. No slowdown. I was along for the ride from word one. And the 3D is really quite something.
Oh, and! Yes. Phantom Menace.
As you note, an apt comparison. Two big budget movies. Two “game-changers.” Two respected sci-fi-action directors, also noted egomaniacs, also writing the scripts themsleves. Two plots about aboriginal species being taken over by an industrious military with rogue outsiders intervening. Two scenes with Big Monsters And Then Bigger Monsters. Two “vehicular journeys through alien worlds.” Two mystic magical worldviews given a scientific workover.
Actually, that list just keeps on going.
At present, Avatar is the far better film. But again, see earlier note: bucket, hole.
“A stone’s throw from greatness” was an excellent way to put it.
For my money, the unidimensionality of a few particular characters and their got-it-off-the-rack dialog, and the handful of time where the main characters came right out and said how you were supposed to feel about a few of the stronger emotional beats, were the weak links, rather than spine of the story.
But, yeah, I was pretty impressed.

Though it's been nearly a decade since the last Bang Gang album, Ghosts From The Past, Bardi Johannsson has kept busy. His recent collaborations include the electro-pop duo Starwalker with Jean-Benoît Dunckel of Air and Lady and Bird with French songstress Keren Ann. Johannsson has also scored numerous films and documentaries including David Guy Levy's Would You Rather (with Daniel Hunt), and the French success De Toutes Nos Forces, directed by Nils Tavernier."
