Appendix A: Common IM Acronyms
Welcome to the wonderful world of Jabber!
Jabber is an open-source instant messaging platform that uses open, XML-based protocols to create the standard functionality people expect of an IM system: one-to-one chat, multi-user chat, the ability to subscribe to someone else's presence, and so on. (See the Jabber Overview for details.)
Jabber is not a multi-protocol IM client, so if all you want to do is chat with your friends on AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo, you may be better off using something like Trillian or Gaim (which also support Jabber). Although many Jabber servers run gateways to the legacy IM services, Jabber is not primarily focused on such interoperability, because it is outside our control -- only AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo can decide when they will work towards an open standard for instant messaging.
Instead, the Jabber community is focused on building a truly open alternative to legacy IM services. So Jabber might be for you if:
You're curious about something more than no-fuss interoperability
You like the idea of open-source software
Your organization needs to run its own internal IM service
You care about supporting open protocols instead of closed-off proprietary IM services
You want to help build a truly open network that values freedom of communication and doesn't treat the individual as just another pair of eyeballs
If that sounds like you, then we invite you to get started with Jabber by working your way through this user guide. But we warn you: Jabber can be addictive! :)
Jabber is lovable, but it's not always easy. To forestall confusion in getting started with Jabber, it's important to know a little bit about how it works.
There is a tradition in Jabber documentation of using examples from Shakespeare, so let's think about two Shakespeare characters and how they exchange messages -- perhaps Juliet up on the balcony, and Romeo down in the Capulets' orchard. Now Juliet doesn't send a message directly ("peer to peer") to her Romeo, at least not in the Jabber world. Juliet has an account on a Jabber server, and her Jabber address (we call it a Jabber ID or "JID") looks a lot like an email address. Since Juliet is a Capulet, she registers the username "juliet" with the Jabber server running at capulet.com, so her JID is juliet@capulet.com. Similarly, Romeo has an account on his family's server and his JID is romeo@montague.net.
Once Juliet has logged into the capulet.com server, she can send messages to her sweetie. To be precise, here is what actually happens when Juliet fires up the Exodus client on her Windows laptop out on the balcony:
Juliet sends a message addressed to romeo@montague.net
The message is handled by the Jabber server at capulet.com
The capulet.com server opens a connection to montague.net
Assuming that the family elders have not disabled server-to-server communications between capulet.com and montague.net, Juliet's message is routed to the Jabber server at montague.net
The server at montague.net sees that the message is addressed to an actual user named "romeo" and delivers it to the Jabber client running on Romeo's Linux laptop out in the Capulets' orchard
The message pops up in Gabber, and Romeo swoons
There are a lot of pieces here: clients running on different operating systems, multiple servers, a communication channel between the servers, and two star-crossed lovers. Jabber handles everything but the last part, and you have a great deal of choice in which parts you use and how. So the first step is to make some of those decisions. Let's start by Choosing a Jabber Client....
Which Jabber client is best for you depends on which operating system you run, what your needs are, and to some extent what IM systems you've used before. Some clients are more stable than others, some offer more features, some are more similar to AIM or ICQ or MSN, and so on. The Jabber clients covered in this user guide are Exodus for Windows (http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/) and Gabber for Linux (http://gabber.sourceforge.net/), although there are many other Jabber clients to choose from (refer to http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.php for a complete list) and the functionality is usually similar in other clients. (However, be aware that some Jabber clients do not implement the complete Jabber protocol, which means they may be missing some features.)
Once you've chosen a Jabber client, follow the program's installation procedures and start the program so you can Choose a Jabber Server....
Jabber communications occur over port 5222. If you are behind a firewall, you may not be able to use a downloadable Jabber client.
In order to use Jabber, you must register an account with a Jabber server -- it's similar to setting up an account with an ISP or configuring your email client to connect to your organization's email server. As with Jabber clients, which server is best for you depends on your needs (for instance, you may be using your organization's own Jabber server). The public server that the Jabber Software Foundation runs here at jabber.org is a favorite choice, but there are plenty of other public Jabber servers to choose from (refer to http://www.jabber.org/user/publicservers.php for a directory of public Jabber servers). Best of all, the service is free.
Once you've chosen a Jabber server, the next step is Registering An Account....
If you are using a public Jabber such as jabber.org, there is (in general) no formal process for requesting a username. All you do is try to log in with your desired Jabber ID and password. If it doesn't work (e.g., because your Jabber ID is taken), try again. (If you are using a private Jabber server, for example a server running on a company's intranet, you may need to contact the server administrator in order to register an account.)
Here's how to register an account with a public server. When you first open Exodus or Gabber, you'll see a start screen such as that shown below:
The start screen (login screen) in Exodus.
The start screen (login screen) in Gabber.
Fill in the information for Server (e.g., capulet.com), Username (e.g., juliet), and Password (e.g., R0m30). The "Resource" field helps Jabber know which instance of your Jabber account to send messages to (e.g., if you have Jabber clients installed on multiple computers), so you can put information about your location (e.g., balcony) or the name of the program (e.g., Exodus).
Click "OK" or "Login" as appropriate and your Jabber client will attempt to log in to the server you specified.
Important Note About Usernames!
Usernames are case-insensitive, so "StPeter" is the same as "stpeter". Also, Jabber usernames are limited to 1023 characters (not that you'll ever need a username that long, but just in case...). In addition, certain characters are not allowed in your username:
@ ('at' sign)
: (colon)
' (single quote)
" (double quote)
< (open angle bracket)
> (close angle bracket)
& (ampersand)
\r\n\t (whitespace is not allowed!)
cntrl-* (control characters)
If your preferred username is taken at a domain, you may be asked to try a different username:
Being prompted for a different username in Exodus.
Being prompted for a different username in Gabber.
If your desired username is still available, your Jabber client will ask you if you want to create an account:
Being prompted to create an account in Exodus.
Being prompted to create an account in Gabber.
Click "Yes" and your account will be created.
Congratulations: you are now connected to the Jabber network! There's only one way to know if your account is working: Test it Out....
The public Jabber server at jabber.org runs an "echo" service that enables you to send a message and receive the same message in reply. This is quite basic, but it enables you to test whether your account is working. To perform this test, send a new message by selecting Exodus > Send Message in Exodus or Services > New Blank Message in Gabber. You'll see an input box or a message window:
Sending a message in Exodus (screen 1 of 2).
Sending a message in Gabber.
For the JID, enter jabber.org/echo, then type a message and click "Send" or hit the Return key. (The subject is optional.) You will almost immediately receive an echo of your your message. (Note: if you send a message to "jabber.org" without the "echo" resource", it will be delivered to the jabber.org server admins.)
The echo service is pretty boring, though. For a more interactive test, we'll be Joining a Chatroom....
One of Jabber's many cool features is the ability to engage in a discussion with many people at once (a.k.a. "groupchat"). And you're not limited to the chatrooms on the server you registered with -- you can join chatrooms on servers all over the Jabber network. This page describes how to join a chatroom that often has a fair number of new users in it.
Select Exodus > Join Conference (Exodus) or Services > Join Group Chat (Gabber) to bring up the window for joining a group (Exodus | Gabber).
Joining a chatroom in Exodus.
Joining a chatroom in Gabber.
Fill in the appropriate information for the room you want to join (type jabber), the conferencing service (type conference.jabber.org), and your desired nickname (e.g., juliet). You will see a groupchat window that may look familiar to you if you have ever used IRC or some other groupchat system:
Participating in a chatroom in Exodus.
Participating in a chatroom in Gabber.
Type your messages in the input box at the bottom and hit Return to send them to the group. It's as simple as that!
Note: While the method described below will work, you may find GTalk Profile easier to use!
Sending a message to a bot or chatting with random strangers in a chatroom is all fine, well, and good, but the main attraction of instant messaging is the ability to talk with your friends and family in real time. To do chat with someone, you need to know their Jabber ID (or convince them to try Jabber). Unfortunately, you're not necessarily going to know the Jabber ID of the person you're trying to reach. So the question naturally arises: how do you find people in Jabber?
Certainly you can tell all your friends about Jabber or advertise your Jabber ID on your website or in your email signature. However, Jabber also has its own directory containing basic information about some of the many people who use Jabber. This directory is called the Jabber User Directory, and is known affectionately as JUD. Actually there can be any number of such directories, but the main JUD is located at the jabber.org server. While you are not automatically added to this directory when you register with a Jabber server (that would violate our respect for individual privacy), you can choose to add yourself to this directory if you would like other people to be able to find you.
To add yourself to the JUD, select Tools > Edit My vCard (Exodus) or Gabber > My Information (Gabber) and click the Personal tab to add your information:
Adding yourself to JUD in Exodus.
Adding yourself to JUD in Gabber.
When you're done, click "OK" to send your information to the JUD.
OK, now you're in the user directory. But we still haven't talked about how to find people in the JUD....
Note: While the method described below will work, you may find GTalk Profile easier to use (however, right now it works only if your email address is the same as your Jabber ID -- they are working to make it more generic). Also check out the Qunu service to find experts on various topics.
The process for finding people by searching the JUD is a bit different in Exodus vs. Gabber, so we'll cover them separately here.
In Exodus, select Tools > Contacts > Search for a Contact (or just Cntrl-F). You will see the following screen:
Searching JUD in Exodus.
Type in the criteria you'd like to search on (first name, last name, Jabber ID, etc.) and click "OK". JUD will return a list of users who match your criteria:
Viewing JUD results in Exodus.
Now you can easily add the desired user to your contact list (in Jabber we call it your "roster") by clicking the user's entry and then clicking the "Add Contacts" button. As we discuss in detail in the next section, that will send a subscription request to the person you selected.
In Gabber, searching for people is a byproduct of adding someone to your contact list (in Jabber we call it your "roster"). Gabber has a "wizard" that walks you through this process, so the first step is to select Services > Add Contact. Click the "Next" button on the first screen, then click "Jabber User Directory" on the second screen and click "Next" again. You will be presented with a search form:
Searching JUD in Gabber.
Viewing JUD results in Gabber.
Now you can easily add the desired user to your roster by clicking the user's entry and then clicking the "Next" button. Gabber will present you with a few more screens in the wizard (all of which are fairly straightforward). When you click the final "Next" button, Gabber will send a subscription request to the person you selected (we discuss this in detail in the next section).
One of the key concepts of instant messaging is presence -- the ability to know when someone is online and available for chatting. Unlike some of the legacy IM services, Jabber respects individual privacy. So in order for you and a friend to see each other's presence, you need to make a mutual agreement to do so, rather like a handshake in real life. Here's what happens:
You send a subscription request to your friend. If you know the exact JID, you can just do Tools > Contacts > Add Contact in Exodus or Services > Add Contact in Gabber:
Adding a contact in Exodus.
Adding a contact in Gabber.
Your friend receives a subscription request from you, and can accept or reject it:
Receiving a subscription request in Exodus.
Receiving a subscription request in Gabber.
If your friend accepts the subscription request, their Jabber client will send a subscription request to you.
If you accept your friend's request, the "handshake" will be complete and now each of you will know when the other person is online.
In Jabber, the list of people you've subscribed to is called your roster (in other IM services this is called a contact list or buddy list). If you're just starting out in Jabber, you might only have a few people in your roster (perhaps a friend or co-worker who convinced you to give it a try). At the other end of the spectrum are friendly Jabber fanatics who have hundreds of people in their rosters!
Once you have more than a few people in your roster, you'll want to manage how your roster appears. One way to do this in Jabber is by setting up groups. For instance, you might want to have roster groups for friends, co-workers, and so on. You have total control over the groups in your roster, and each contact can be in one or more of your roster groups.
Each Jabber client handles groups in a slightly different way. For instance, often you can drag and drop a contact from one group to another. To create a new group you may need to select a specific contact in your roster and change which group they are in. In Exodus you do this by right-clicking the contact in your roster and selecting the Properties option, then the Groups tab, whereas in Gabber you do it by right-clicking the contact in your roster and selecting the Edit Groups option:
Creating a group in Exodus.
Creating a group in Gabber.
One of the things people like about Jabber is that you can communicate with users of legacy IM services like AIM, MSN, ICQ, and Yahoo. Unlike all-in-one IM clients like Trillian, what makes this possible in Jabber is a piece of software called a gateway (or "transport"), which runs in conjunction with a Jabber server such as jabber.org. Unfortunately not every Jabber server runs every gateway (in fact the jabber.org server doesn't run any!), so you may need to hunt around for working gateways.
To find working gateways, it may seem like you would have to keep registering accounts with new Jabber servers all the time in search of the one server that runs every gateway you need. Thankfully, the people who designed Jabber's architecture were pretty smart, so you don't have to do this. Instead, you can keep your "home" Jabber account and "browse" to other servers to see what services they offer. To do this, select Select Tools > Jabber Browser (Exodus) or Services > Browse Agents/IM Systems (Gabber):
Browsing to another server in Exodus.
Browsing to another server in Gabber.
In the example shown above, the user typed in jabber.at as the server and clicked the Browse button. The result? We can see that this server is running the ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo gateways. Now you can register with the gateways of your choice and chat with friends on those other networks.
Now, don't all use the poor jabber.at server -- we don't want to overload any one Jabber server! Select one of the Jabber servers listed at http://www.jabber.org/user/publicservers.php. (And if you really want to help out, run a server of your own or convince your ISP to do so. Visit http://www.jabber.org/admin/ for more information.)
Assuming you have found a working gateway, there are several steps you need to complete in order to chat with friends on legacy IM services:
First, you need to have an account on the other network. (Why? See the note at the bottom of this section.)
Select Tools > Jabber Browser (Exodus) or Services > Browse Agents/IM Systems (Gabber). You will see window that lists the available gateways and other server-side agents:
Viewing available gateways in Exodus.
Viewing available gateways in Gabber.
Select the appropriate gateway and click the "Register with this object" link (Exodus) or click the Register button (Gabber). You will see a registration wizard (Exodus) or window (Gabber):
Registering with a gateway in Exodus (screen 1 of 2).
Registering with a gateway in Gabber.
Provide the information requested and complete the form or wizard.
The appropriate gateway is now added to your roster.
Now, to add a user of that IM network, proceed just as you normally would in adding a contact but choose "MSN Transport" or whatever as the user type (if your Jabber client is not this smart, see "Another Note" below).
Now you can chat with that user just as you would any other Jabber user. It's as easy as that!
Why do you need an account on the non-Jabber network? Because there are no common protocols for communication between IM networks. It's as if you needed to use different email clients to talk with people who use Compuserve or Hotmail or AOL for email. The only way Jabber can talk with other networks is to act as a "proxy" for you on other IM networks (important: this means the Jabber gateway needs to store your username and password so that it can log in as you; if you're not comfortable with that, don't register with the gateways -- or run your own server!). Crazy, huh? BTW, because the gateway essentially logs in like a normal IM client, you cannot run Jabber and a legacy IM client at the same time once you add the relevant gateway to your roster. If you would like to go back to using that IM service directly and still run Jabber, you need to delete the relevant gateway from your roster.
Another Note
Not all Jabber clients are smart enough to handle gateways. You may need to use a more advanced Jabber client to register with the gateway, after which you can use it from your other Jabber client. To add contacts who use IM services that have addresses like user@host (MSN is one of these), you may need to manually construct the Jabber ID for this person. Jabber gateways do this by changing the "@" in the foreign address into "%", then adding the address of the gateway. So let's say that you have a friend whose MSN address is JoeCool@hotmail.com and that you have registered with the MSN gateway at msn.jabbernet.dk; you would then enter your friend's Jabber ID as JoeCool%hotmail.com@msn.jabbernet.dk (yes, this is long but it is necessary). However, this transformation is not necessary for AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo addresses, so you probably have to worry about it only to contact your MSN friends.
Need help with your Jabber client? Try the "jabber" conference room mentioned in the groupchat section of this user guide. There is also a dedicated mailing list for Jabber users, so feel free to sign up for that at http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/juser.
Almost everyone who writes Jabber software does it for fun in their spare time. However, that doesn't mean they don't have a professional attitude about the software they write. So if you think you've found a bug, report it at the website of the Jabber client you're using. Please report bugs so we can keep improving Jabber!
Finally, thank you for trying Jabber! We hope this Jabber User Guide has helped you get started with Jabber. If you have questions that are not answered here, send an email to the JUser mailing list.
Happy Jabbering!

Plan B.
For when you've made a bad decision...
With the continued threat of US military budget cuts, upper brass at the Pentagon is finally starting to come around to the simple truth... Current fighter fleets are soldiering on well past their prime, and are requiring life extension programs and upgrades to remain effective. The JSF is still years away from operational status, with all signs pointing to further delays, and there is a very real possibility of outright cancelation.
Reality is setting in... They might need to find an alternative to the F-35.
Their simply isn't time or resources to build an all new design. The F/A-XX is still years away from any flying prototype, and securing funding for such an undertaking may prove to be a challenge in and of itself. Any "plan B" will have to be an existing design, or, at the very least, heavily derived from one.
Super, and Super Duper Hornets.
Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet.
This one is easy. It's pretty much confirmed. The U.S. Navy is contemplating ordering more Super Hornets through 2015. It's a no brainer, really. The F-35's tail hook problem still hasn't been solved and the Rhino has proven to be a decent workhorse. It has its issues, but the Super Hornet is cheap and proven.
International Roadmap Super (Duper) Hornet
Slightly less likely is the "Block 3" or "International Roadmap" version of the Super Hornet, with conformal fuel tanks, a weapons pod for stealthier operations, and more advanced sensors and cockpit. There's even the possibility of upgrading the GE414 engines for more power.
If the F-35 is cancelled, the "Ultra Hornet" could end up being the sole fighter of the USN fleet for the majority of the 21st century. Not bad for design that was once passed over by the USAF.
New Super Hornets and used Warthogs. Who needs STOVL, anyway?
Again, the choice here is very simple. The USMC already fly the F/A-18C/D Hornet, upgrading to the Super Hornet seems like the obvious choice. They can take advantage of cross-decking with the USN aircraft carriers, as well as other benefits of sharing a platform.
A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog"
Replacing the AV-8B Harrier might be a little more of a challenge, however. The F-35B is the only STOVL fighter in development right now. There's really no other choice... Unless STOVL operations can be replaced by STOL capability. Then again, basing multi-million dollar STOVL fighters on the front lines may not be the best idea, anyway.
The A-10 isn't a true STOL, but it does have excellent performance on short and rough runways. It's a tough, sturdy platform, and it would seem to be an excellent fit for the USMC. In use currently by the USAF, they may be dropped from service very soon, despite currently undergoing a wing replacement program.
While it would a great deal of modifications to operate off the USMCs amphibious assault carriers, the A-10 would likely otherwise be a welcome addition to the Corps.
This one gets a little tougher...
The USAF seems to be "all in" with the F-35. There doesn't seem to be much else on the radar for them. This is kind of scary.
F-15SE "Silent Eagle"
The F-15 is pretty easy. The F-15E Strike Eagle is the USAF's "newest" fighter at 20-something years old. The airframe is robust and current models will be able to fly for years to come. Barring that, F-15 assembly lines are still running thanks to foreign orders and Boeing would likely very much enjoy keeping them open even longer. Convincing the USAF to order its "Silent Eagle" would be a huge coup.
As for a possible restart of F-22 Raptor production... Forget it. Not going to happen. It was already cancelled due to high cost, both to purchase and operate. The jet itself has had some rather worrying issues. It would be nearly impossible for the USAF to come up with a compelling reason why it needs more than the 187 copies in current use. Yes, the tooling still exists, but don't expect them to bring it out of storage for anything less than WWIII.
The real workhorse of the USAF fighter fleet, the F-16, is the real quandary here. If the F-35 gets cancelled, there is no real obvious "plan B".
There may be, however, two feasible options.
Eurofighter Typhoon
Saab JAS-39E Gripen
Option 1: Go foreign.
Either the Eurofighter Typhoon or the Saab Gripen could be added to the USAF fleet with little effort. Both are compatible with current USAF bombs and missiles and have flown alongside American forces in the past, both in training exercises and in combat.
Saab is reportedly in talks with Boeing to collaborate on the USAF's next trainer, so a Saab/Boeing Gripen marketed to the USAF isn't that much of a stretch, as I have mentioned before. The Eurofighter, on the other hand, is produced by some of America's key NATO allies, and a Typhoon purchase may help a repair some recent hurt feelings.
Rafale enthusiasts (you know who you are) may feel left out on this one. The Rafale would likely be a distant 3rd choice here. Its only real chance here would be if the Pentagon decides to keep the "single platform for all" mentality and order Rafales for all three services. It is the only real alternative to the Super Hornet as far as carrier based aircraft go.
General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) F-16XL
Convincing Americans to buy a foreign designed fighter jet might be a non-starter. Even with a strong U.S based partner, past foreign purchases have been niche products for the most part. Having a European based defense contractor take responsibility for the production of thousands of fighters might result in pure outrage.
That leaves no other choice but the Super Hornet or a updated F-16 Fighting Falcon... Like the F-16XL.
Developed initially as a supersonic cruise prototype, the F-16XL utilized a stretch fuselage and a radical "cranked arrow" wing. This gave it improved high-speed performance, an increased payload, and a much higher fuel capacity. It could carry twice the load of a regular F-16 and fly 40% further. The F-16XL later became a contender for the USAF's Enhanced Tactical Fighter program to replace the F-111B. Losing out to the tougher, more survivable F-15E Strike Eagle, the F-16XL would go on to become a NASA test platform. During its testing at NASA, the XL was fitted with more powerful GE F110-129 engine (as now used in the F-15K) and accidentally achieved supercruise.
A F-16XL with an updated (but proven) engine and all the Block 60 upgrades would be a substantial improvement to the current USAF F-16 fleet. It would also be very low-risk and low-cost, with the F-16XL being extensively flight tested over the years and with the F-16 airframe itself being one of the most ubiquitous and affordable modern western fighters.
Of course, the biggest obstacle facing a modernized F-16XL is that its parent, General Dynamics, has been absorbed into Lockheed Martin, the very company responsible for the F-35. No way would LockMart risk cannibalizing the largest defense contract in history by offering the F-16XL as an alternative.
The RCAF
We can go our own way.
Choice is good.
The good news with the RCAF right now is that there still isn't a true commitment. As frustrating as the "reset" may be, it still gives Canada an "easy out" of the JSF program if things get sour, or simply if a better deal comes along. We can choose to simply mirror whatever the USAF does, we can choose an "interim fighter", a mixed fleet, or simply pull out altogether and go our own way.
Of course, with all the uncertainty facing the U.S. military over the next few years, it may prove wiser to simply go out on our own now, and avoid the rush later.

I'm feeling a little targeted by the "rafale enthousiasts" thing :-D
Well, I agree Rafale doesn't seem the best choice for the highly specialized USAF, which not really needs an omnirole Rafale. But to make things clear, weapons compatibility is a easier issue for USAF than RCAF, because of the huge order USAF can make : even with a 1 billion $ program to integrate US weapons, if 1000 Rafale are ordered, that's only 1 million $ per aircraft, not so much.
As you pointed out, going foreign is highly unlikely. Not mention going French (I bet I will never see in my entire life USA purchase a major defense equipment from France).
The Harrier was an incredible victory for Europe industry, but the "special relationship" between UK and USA probably played a role.
More recently, there was the tanker competition between Boeing and Airbus, finally won by Boeing in a rather unclear context... but that's pretty clear for me : choosing Airbus wasn't an option.
The interesting thing is that :
- USA : going foreign is outrage
- Others : mass foreign orders but that's normal
- France : we make ourselves but everybody think we're stupid
For all these reasons, I think the most probable plan B to replace F16 would be... F16. Existing F16 block 60 design is very advanced : conformal fuel tanks, AESA, more capable EW suite, powerful engines... That seems more than enough, even for USAF. And at the end of day, I don't think LockMart decides : If Pentagon WANT f16 and not f35, Pentagon will get f16.
The navalized A10 seems a long shot.

FEATURED CONCEPT: Dark Matter
Unlike ordinary matter, dark matter does not emit or absorb light--or any other type of electromagnetic radiation. Consequently, dark matter cannot be observed directly using a telescope or any other astronomical instrument that has been developed by humans. If dark matter has these strange properties, how do we know that it exists in the first place?
Like ordinary matter, dark matter interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter and radiation. Astronomers study the distribution of dark matter through observing its gravitational effects on ordinary matter in its vicinity and through its gravitational lensing effects on background radiation. The background image shows the bullet cluster, a famous example where the visible matter does not follow the mass distribution.
Combining all the available evidence, dark matter represents about 83% of the matter content of the universe. Read more about dark matter on this web page. Let us know your questions and comments on the message board.

Server upgrade planned for Dec 19
Hi everyone, we're upgrading the server to a new machine on Dec 19. Expect intermittent outages which could last as long as 24 hours. No action is needed from users during the upgrade. More workunits will be on the way shortly thereafter. Thanks!

Preparation for a server upgrade
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be moving the Cosmology@Home server to a newer machine. No action is needed from you, and we hope to do so with minimal down time. This will solve lots of the work generation and validation problems the site has had over the last several months. It will also set us up to debut some new science applications which we have been working on and thinking about.
For now, we are letting the work queue get emptied out. Once that is done (it already is for camb_legacy), we will move forward and keep you updated.

Recent outage explanation
Over the last week we suffered a database corruption due to some disk errors. I've spent the last several days recovering the database from backups and from the corrupted files. Unfortunately, records of workunits from the last several weeks were lost, which means you will not receive credit for any of these jobs. I greatly apologize for this, and we've taken steps to make sure this doesn't happen again. The good news is that this was the only thing which could not be recovered, everything else is fine.
We're continuing to monitor things as the server comes back online, please report any problems you may find here.
11 Sep 2018, 13:40:40 UTC · Discuss
All tasks functioning normally
The problem affecting the camb_legacy tasks has been resolved. The server also recently received some under-the-hood upgrades which should improve performance and security.
10 Aug 2018, 2:47:15 UTC · Discuss
camb_legacy tasks temporarily suspended
Hi everyone, there's something wrong with the camb_legacy tasks, possibly related to a recent upgrade. I've temporarily disabled them (no validation, no new workunits created) until I can figure out the problem. The camb_boinc2docker application is still working normally.

From Place to Emplacement: The Scalar Politics of Sustainability
Barron, E.S., Hagemann, F., Hartman, L.
Sustainability has emerged as a central concept for discussing the current state of the human-environment system and planning for its future. To delve into the depths of sustainability means to talk about ecology, economy, and equity as fundamentally interconnected. However, each continues to be colonized by normative epistemologies of ecological sciences, neoclassical economics, and development, suggesting that with enough science and development, a more equitable sustainability is achievable. In our analysis, place emerges as an alternative epistemology through which to analyze sustainability.
Commoning property in the City: The on-going work of making and remaking
I explore three sites that I was involved in commoning in a post-industrial working class neighbourhood in Montreal: a garden on a city-owned plot of land, a mural on a stock-corporation-owned viaduct and a community-owned industrial building “expropriated” from a capitalist developer after a 10-year grassroots campaign. In each of these sites new property relations were forged, ones where a commoning-community manages the space and benefits from how the space has been shaped. Each community is engaged in a continuous process of making and re-making as it is confronted with powerful forces that seek to enclose or uncommon the property it has taken responsibility for.
L’autogestion du vivre-ensemble
Voici deux entrevues qui donnent à voir le portrait et le parcours de deux femmes anarchistes, l’une en France, l’autre au Québec.
Irène Pereira et Anna Kruzynski, qui ne se connaissent pas, tiennent des propos qui se font écho, en particulier quant à leur manière de mobiliser prudemment l’étiquette d’« anarchaféministe », même si elles ont plusieurs expériences dans des collectifs féministes. Aujourd’hui, elles s’intéressent et se préoccupent de toutes les formes de domination et cherchent à intégrer dans leur anarchisme des réflexions et des expériences d’ailleurs, par exemple des mouvements afro-américains, autochtones et latino-américains.
Icebergian Economies of Contemporary Art
Kathrin Böhm and Kuba Szreder
Icebergian Economies of Contemporary Art offers reflections on art and economy, stimulated by J.K. Gibson-Graham’s representation of the economy as an iceberg. Themes include visible/invisible; blue line or the surface; the gloss over the dark matter; me versus the many; and art world/s.
An online version of the book is available here. The book was a contribution to a larger project, Cyber-PiraMMMida, which explores the pyramidal spectres and structures which haunt the worlds of architecture, art, academia and the everyday.
Collectively performed reciprocal labour: reading for possibility
Collectively performed reciprocal labour involves a non-monetized exchange of group work done by community members for the benefit usually of one community member or household. In this chapter I shed light on the ubiquity of collectively performed reciprocal labour exchange, thereby establishing its legitimacy in a diverse economy.
Reading for economic difference
This chapter in the Methodology Part VI of The Handbook of Diverse Economies discusses reading as a practice of knowledge production. It introduces 'critical reading' as a reading for dominance and lays out techniques of deconstruction and queering to show what reading for difference might entail.
The Handbook of Diverse Economies
J.K. Gibson-Graham, Kelly Dombroski
Economic diversity abounds in a more-than-capitalist world, from worker-recuperated cooperatives and anti-mafia social enterprises to caring labour and the work of Earth Others; from fair trade and social procurement to community land trusts, free universities and Islamic finance. The Handbook of Diverse Economies presents research that inventories economic difference as a prelude to building ethical ways of living on our dangerously degraded planet.
The place of common bond: Can credit unions make place for solidarity economy?
Marianna Pavlovskaya, Craig Borowiak, Maliha Safri, Stephen Healy, Robert Eletto
About 6,000 financial cooperatives, called credit unions, with more than 103 million members manage over $1 trillion in collective assets in the United States but are largely invisible and seen as inferior to private banks. In contrast to banks that generate profit for outside investors and do not give voice to customers, these not-for-profit institutions have a democratic governance structure and a mission to provide good services to their members. We use diverse economies and critical/feminist GIS approaches to theorize them as noncapitalist alternatives to banks and possible sites of social transformation toward a solidarity economy.
Conjunctural Politics, Cultural Struggle, and Solidarity Economy: A Conversation with Kali Akuno
In this expansive conversation, we explore the current political-cultural conjuncture in the United States. Thinking through the responses to the pandemic and the Floyd Rebellion, Akuno analyzes the violence of and tensions between an escalating white supremacy, on one hand, and an intractable (neo)liberalism that is attempting to capture and channel the energies and ideas of the Left, on the other. Akuno locates direction for the Left amid the flourishing of mutual-aid projects and the possibility of a politicized solidarity-economy movement that can fight for and build practices, relationships, and institutions beyond the limitations of the market, the state, and what is deemed to be practical.
Focusing on Assets: Action Research for an Inclusive and Diverse Workplace
In higher education, efforts to diversify the workforce and create a more inclusive and repre- sentative environment for students and employees have often been stymied by institutionalized racism, a lack of resources, and a lack of institutional energy. In this chapter I discuss an action research intervention, inspired by diverse economies scholarship, that was aimed at valuing and strengthening diversity and inclusion in a community college setting. A starting point for the project was the recognition that within the workplace there are multiple forms of work being performed, and associated ways of being, that fall outside of the traditional identity of a waged worker being paid for services rendered.
The Possibility of Care-full Cities
Miriam Williams
In this paper I explore the possibility of the feminist ethic of care to enhance urban theory by placing emphasis upon our collective interdependence and responsibility to one another. As an ethics, care has the potential to maintain, continue, repair and transform our worlds. As a practice, care is often hidden from view despite the integral role care plays in ensuring survival in our worlds of both human and non-human others. As a performative act attuned to the possibility of care in the city I discuss how care was manifest in this space of care by drawing on research undertaken at The Women’s Library, Newtown which is located in Sydney, Australia. I reflect upon care-full practices that maintain, continue and repair our worlds within and beyond the library.
Impact Evaluation Report: Mutual Support Group 2014-2018
Alison Guzman , Ignacio Krell
After five years of the consolidation, Mutual Support-Rekülüwun can be seen as part of a repertoire of creative responses by Mapuche families to the monetization of their rural economies in southern Chile, which has accelerated notoriously in the last decade. The project was set out in 2012 by the Mapuche-Lafkenche community of Llaguepulli and MAPLE, to create a member-owned institution while abiding to an indigenous cultural context and community protocols.
Calculating the Value of the Commons: Generating Resilient Urban Futures
Doina Petrescu, Constantin Petcou, Maliha Safri, Katherine Gibson
In this paper we present a method for valuing the multidimensional aspects of urban commons. This method draws from and contributes to a broader conception of social or community returns on investment, using the case and data of a vibrant project, strategy, and model of ecological resilience, R-Urban, on the outskirts of Paris. R-Urban is based on networks of urban commons and collective hubs supporting civic resilience practices. We use data from 2015, the year before one of the hubs was evicted from its site by a municipal administration that could not see the value of an ‘urban farm’ compared to a parking lot.
Intro: Planning for Feminist and 2SLGBTQ+ Spaces
An introduction to Planning for Feminist and 2SLGBTQ+ Spaces. When I was a planning student in the late 1990’s, women activists contesting patriarchal city building with Women Plan Toronto (WPT) sparked my interest in planning for women and 2SLGBTQ communities. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, WPT encouraged public sector planners and policy makers to plan women-friendly neighbourhoods that included accessible and affordable housing and public spaces and parks amenable to children, seniors and people with disabilities. WPT also advocated practical alternatives to address women’s planning concerns, including strategies for designing public transportation suitable for wheelchairs and strollers and ensuring women’s and children’s safety in urban design.
Reading for difference in the archives of Tropical Geography: Imagining an(other) Economic Geography for beyond the Anthropocene
This paper is based on the 2016 Neil Smith lecture presented at St Andrews University. It honours the work of a geographer whose pioneering work on uneven development and the complex relations between capitalism and nature shaped late 20th century thinking inside and beyond the discipline of Geography. Today the collision of earth system dynamics with socio-economic dynamics is shaking apart Enlightenment knowledge systems, forcing questions of what it means to be a responsible inhabitant on planet earth and how, indeed, to go onwards ‘in a different mode of humanity’ (to quote eco-feminist philosopher Val Plumwood).
Spaces for Feminist Commoning? Creative Social Enterprise’s Enclosures and Possibilities
Heather McLean
This paper contributes an intersectional feminist analysis and methodological approach to debates about commoning and social enterprise. Through a narrative description of feminist social enterprise projects based on action research with the Kinning Park Complex, a social centre with a radical history in Glasgow’s South Side, I demonstrate how contemporary community economic development models can entrench intersectional exclusion. Specifically, I show how market‐oriented social enterprise models reproduce precarious work, hinder cooperative ethics, and promote depoliticised notions of difference. However, I also investigate the ways that community organisers and activists at KPC are re‐working these neoliberal models to carve out spaces for feminist commoning.
Towards An Ontological Politics of Collaborative Entanglement: Teaching and Learning as Methods Assemblage
In this essay I reflect on and theorize efforts to teach, learn, and advance solidarity economy, a movement and design project to create the conditions for community determination and collective well-being. I draw from five years of ethnographic work and two years of teaching efforts to reassemble the resources at hand into a pedagogical intervention along the lines of what Jon Law (2004) describes as a “methods assemblage,” a set of practices, techniques, and relations that work to organize and condense particular realities. I explore how a methods assemblage of solidarity economy can open epistemological, ideological, and material trajectories toward other ways of being in the world.
Ethnography in and with bodies
Katharine McKinnon, Kelly Dombroski
In this article, Katharine and Kelly reflect on the role of the body in ethnographic research, suggesting some questions we might consider as we seek to create caring academic communities supporting each other in ethnographic work.
Informal mining labour: economic plurality and household survival strategies
Pryor Placino
Modern-day mining is now highly mechanized and provides regular employment to highly paid workers in many parts of the world. However, there also exist millions of individuals who gain a livelihood from informal, artisanal and small-scale mining. From a diverse economies point of view, mining is as much non-capitalist as it is capitalist. The chapter aims to depart from the binary framing of informality and formality which situates informal mining labour only as ‘other’ to formal work in the capitalist mining industry. The author positions informal mining labour as part of the survival portfolio of poor and landless households to argue for a more dynamic view that opens up different possibilities for livelihood-making.
Action Research for Diverse Economies
Jenny Cameron, Katherine Gibson
This chapter discusses how research can be part of a social action agenda to build new economies. This research is based on collaborations between researchers and research participants, and involves three interwoven strategies. The first focuses on developing new languages of economy; the second, on decentring economic subjectivity; and the third, on collective actions to consolidate and build economic initiatives. The chapter illustrates how these strategies feature in three research projects. The first project was based in the Philippines and involved working with an NGO and two municipalities to pilot pathways for endogenous economic development.
Framing Essay: The Diversity of Enterprise
This chapter overviews the diverse economies framing of the enterprise, a framing that is founded on two distinguishing features. First there is the understanding of class as a process of producing, appropriating and distributing surplus labour; and second there is the use of a ‘weak theory’ perspective. What results is the recognition of enterprise diversity such that the economic landscape is populated with a range of non-capitalist, capitalist and more-than-capitalist enterprises. In this diversity there are enterprises that are producing, appropriating and distributing surplus labour in ways that take into the wellbeing of people and the planet.
Free Universities as Academic Commons
The article focuses on free universities as grassroots responses to the crisis of universities worldwide, exemplifying how they contribute to the development of postcapitalist imaginaries in academia.

Visualising and analyzing diverse economies with GIS: A resource for performative research
This chapter explores how geographic information systems (GIS) can be used in diverse economies research by first tracing how debates about GIS methods and associated epistemologies have changed since the 1980s. Although initially seen as a tool limited to quantitative spatial analysis, GIS has since expanded in scope to support and extend a variety of interpretivist modes of knowledge. Participatory, qualitative, and critical GIS emerged as some diverse ways to use GIS and spatial data. Scholars using a diverse economies approach participated in this expansion of the scope of GIS. Increasingly, the potential for GIS in diverse economies research is becoming more evident. This chapter discusses three ways that GIS can align with this framework.
From Worker Self-Directed Enterprise Analysis to Solidarity Economy Movement
In Transcending Capitalism Through Cooperative Practices, Mulder shows how exploitation, and non-exploitation, can be analytically discerned, and she describes some various contexts in which non-exploitation exists. Mulder's analysis, analytical approach, and contextual descriptions, surface and prompt important questions around the conditions of possibility for imagining and actualizing economic difference and transformation. To help elaborate and begin to address these questions, I turn to a growing movement in Massachusetts in which communities are crafting and organizing around their own conditions of possibility in innovative and powerful ways.
Urbanism without Guarantees: The Everyday Life of a Gentrifying West Side Neighborhood
Christian Anderson
Urbanism without Guarantees is an ethnographic account of the contemporary everyday urban challenges of living in the far West Side of Midtown Manhattan in New York City, an area known as Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen.
This is the fifth book in the Diverse Economies and Liveable Worlds Series, and has featured in Community Economies News.
Community led initiatives for climate adaptation and mitigation
Katy Simon, Gradon Diprose, Amanda Thomas
Planning for climate change is complex. There is some uncertainty about how quickly the climate will change and what the anticipated localised effects will be. There are also governance questions, for instance, who has the mandate to make decisions around the management of collective resources (like council infrastructure) and private property. Underlying these questions are issues of justice, equity and agency – who pays for the costs of adaptation and mitigation, and how do decision-makers engage with communities when what is ultimately needed is transformational socio-economic change?
Social solidarity economy

Religious influences on social enterprise in Asia: Observations in Cambodia, Malaysia and South Korea
Isaac Lyne, Jieun Ryu, Teh Yong Yuan, Tetsuya Morita
A cursory examination of literature shows that religion and business are historically intertwined, with particular effects on society. Since the business/religion relationship is strongly driven by ethos, this relationship appears as an interesting and relevant issue in the case of social enterprises (hereafter SEs), which are value-driven initiatives. This chapter takes a look at the influence of religion on SEs in East Asia—the most religiously diverse region of the world. We start by analysing the influence of religion on international development discourse in recent decades, considering that major international development institutions have increasingly embraced SE as part of “sustainable development”.
Le commun dans la ville : pouvoir citoyen à Pointe-Saint-Charles
Avec d’autres chercheuses et chercheurs engagés, je lutte pour rompre avec une conception universaliste du monde et opérer une transition vers un vivre-ensemble « centré sur le plurivers constitué d’une multiplicité de mondes enchevêtrés et co-constitutifs, mais distincts ». Dans le sillon de Dardot et Laval3, je comprends la révolution comme un moment d’accélération, d’intensification et de collectivisation d’une activité autonome et auto-organisée dans toutes les sphères de la vie économique, sociale, politique ou culturelle. Avec eux, je crois que le principe du commun est au coeur de ce projet révolutionnaire…

Manan Kapoor talks about the Ghazal, the medieval Arabic poetic form which travelled to the Indian subcontinent in the 12th century and flourished there ever since. He focuses on the work of Agha Shahid Ali, the Kashmiri-American poet who perfected the art of the ghazal in the English language. Kapoor’s biography of Shahid, A Map of Longings, was published earlier this year. Particular references are made to the poem “In Arabic” from Shahid’s collection Call me Ishmael Tonight, the ghazals sung by Begum Akhtar which greatly influenced Shahid’s work, and English ghazals written by poets like Adrienne Rich which he critiqued.
Manan Kapoor is an Indian writer and translator. A Map of Longings: The Life and Works of Agha Shahid Ali (Vintage, Penguin Random House India) is his latest work. His debut novel The Lamentations of a Sombre Sky was shortlisted for Sahitya Akademi’s Yuva Puruskar 2017. In 2019, he was a writer-in-residence at Sangam House Writers’ Residency. His writings have appeared in The Caravan Magazine, Boston Review, The Hindu, Stockholm Review of Literature, Scroll, The Wire, and Firstpost among others. He lives in Chandigarh.

Weiner’s World—January 2017
February 9, 2017 | Gene Weiner, Weiner International Inc.
Editor’s note: This blog was originally published in January 2017 (click here) and is being reprinted here with special permission from the author.
This month’s column is a bit shorter than usual as we prepare for next month’s IPC APEX EXPO and its Executive Forum for PCB fabricators and their supply chain.
This month also marks the 65th anniversary of Epec LLC in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The company, founded in 1952, is the oldest printed circuit fabricator in North America. Half of its $50 million in sales is reported to be with printed circuits. I well remember as a rookie technical salesman for Shipley Company Inc. calling on Dick Zens, the company’s president, in 1956-7. Dick went on to become one of the founders of IPC in 1957 along with other former friends and customers of yore: Al Hughes, Bill McGinley, and Bob Swiggett.
I am reminded by this anniversary of other iconic pioneers of our industry's beginnings. Starting with the late Dieter Bergman they include Bob Rennie, Dale Messerschmidt, Hy Almond, Pete & Sandy Pellegrino, Jim Penney, Ross Sibley, Tad Navoy, Peter Sarmanian, Charlie Shipley, George Hart, Rufus Benton, Spence Glaspell, Dr. Harold Narcus, Herb Pollack, Jim Donaghy, Foster Gray, Paul Goldman, Bob Rennie, Rolly Mettler, Dick Douglas, Bert Krasnow, Bill Jacobi, Marv Larson, Denny Stalzer, George Morse, Sam Altschuler, George Messner, Howard Manko, Bert Isaacson, Irv Ireland, Dimitry Grabbe, Jerry Shore, Al Weiss, Jim Carlson, Larry Velie, Jerry Siegmund, Ivan Jones, Dave Radovsky, Gerry Lordi, Dr. J. Lee Parker, Werner Engelmeier, Don Dinella, Gerry Ginsberg, Bill DeForest, Bill Rothschild, Bernie Alzua, Arnold Fleury, Joe Canizero, Lincoln Low, Clyde Combes, Jerry Henrikson, Bill Parker, Stark Roberts, Hugh Medford and scores of others—to name a few....and do not forget Ray Pritchard! How many do you recall?
I still communicate frequently with the first chairman of the IPC's TAEC committee. Can you guess who he is? I'll give you a hint. He is a member of IPC's Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame. Still don't know? He is the most senior of the IPC Ambassadors. Still wondering? Here's another hint: He is one of the first recipients of the Dieter Bergman Fellowship Awards—an IPC Fellow! Give up? It is Bernie Kessler! Come say hello to him at the San Diego event!
Dept. of Commerce to Make Special Presentation at IPC’s PCB Executive Forum at IPC APEX EXPO
Experts from the U.S. Department of Commerce—Office of Technology Evaluation with the Bureau of Industry and Security—will present a report at the PCB Executive Forum in San Diego on February 13. The presentation is an analysis of industrial sectors supporting U.S. defense programs and critical infrastructure: Can they meet our economic and national security requirements? This study includes interesting information that will provide perspective for your business forecasting. It is expected to also include some interesting information on “trusted sources.”
We are also watching what changes or support our industry will get from the new administration. How will our government support rebuilding or solidifying our remaining printed circuit industry? Does it recognize its position in national defense? Do our members of Congress maintain members on their staffs that can understand the industry and its role in the defense, health, and the automotive industries?
Will the diverse agencies and laboratories of Army, Air Force and Navy cooperate, share information, find common areas of need, and share common successes and data? Will they share their information with the Department of Commerce? Will the DOC reciprocate? Are they looking too far ahead (e.g., to electronic systems for 2030 and 2040) to pay attention to issues with today’s PCB platforms? Do they think that there is no problem in securing domestic PCBs? Have they drilled down deeply enough to recognize that a common but critical material—copper foil—is no longer produced in the U.S. except for one facility that is owned by a Japanese company?
One industry icon says, “On advancing PCB technology and performance per se, I think the shortest linkage from the industry to the government agencies is NIST.”
IPC President and CEO John Mitchell has been elected to serve on the National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA) Board of Directors. The Council of Manufacturing Associations is made up of more than 260 manufacturing trade associations that work together on behalf of manufacturing in the United States.
TTM Technologies celebrated the grand opening of its RF (radio frequency) Center of Excellence in Stafford Springs, CT with government officials, TTM leaders, employees and guests participating in a ribbon cutting ceremony. This RF center of excellence in Stafford Springs specializes in RF-related PCB products to better support Aerospace & Defense as well as other customers.
Taiwan Makers Ship More Than 61 million Large-size TFT-LCD Panels in 4Q16
Taiwan-based makers shipped a total of 61.37 million large-size (9-inch and above) TFT-LCD panels during the fourth quarter of 2016, decreasing 1.5% on quarter but increasing 2% on year, according to Digitimes Research. TV panels accounted for 30% of shipments, notebook-use units for 31.6%, LCD monitor-use units 21.1% and tablet-use units 14.3%.
Innolux shipped 11.18 million TV panels, 10.25 million notebook-use units, 5.99 million monitor-use units and 2.49 million tablet-use units. AU Optronics shipped 7.21 million TV panels, 9.17 million notebook-use units, 6.97 million monitor-use units and 3.37 million tablet-use units. Chunghwa Picture Tubes and HannStar Display shipped 2.51 million and 380,000 tablet-use panels.
Taiwan's large size TFT-LCD display shipments in 2016 declined 2.3% for the year (Digitimes Research).
Toshiba to Sell Most of its Chip Operations
Toshiba has decided to sell most of its semiconductor chip operations to focus on its flash memory business. The operations to be put up for sale include the division that handles system large-scale integrated circuits, which are used in a wide range of products including automobiles and home appliances. Toshiba hopes to rebuild its image by concentrating on flash memory, which has been a cash cow for the struggling company. A tender has already started for some of the chip operations it plans to sell, according to sources.
Toshiba plans to build a new flash memory plant with the U.S. chipmaker SanDisk on a site next to its existing plant in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. The cost, to be split between the firms, will exceed $3.4 billion. The company has already announced plans to stop making white LEDs and CMOS image sensors, with the latter business to be sold to Sony (Japan Times).
In case you missed this last month, it seems that a "very populous country" with half the circuit board manufacturing capacity in the world has vowed to spend up to $200 billion to buy their way into world semiconductor leadership.
China’s state-backed National IC Investment Fund is to shift its investment focus to the Chinese chip designing sector from the chip manufacturing sector. The fund has committed to investing about $10B in China’s semiconductor industry since its creation first year. About 60% of the investments have been allocated to building semiconductor wafer fabs.
Thus, China’s 12-inch wafer capacity is expected to surge from 373,000 wafers per year to 620,000 wafers per year over the next three years. The fund is to shift its focus to China’s fabless chip design and chip packaging and testing sectors from chip manufacturing, and would also inject capital into Chinese design houses to improve their innovative capabilities and to help them clinch overseas merger-and-acquisition deals (Taipei Times).
China’s economic growth for 2016 was 6.7%, the target range of between 6.5% and 7%.
Apple is said to be considering moving some of its iPhone production to the United States. Taiwanese iPhone producer Foxconn is considering a $7 billion joint investment in a display production facility, the company’s chairman told reporters. Apple has a “ton” of offshore money that could be repatriated for new facility investment if tax rates are lowered. According to the Nikkei Asian Review, Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou said “Apple is willing to invest in the facility together…” with his company because it needs display panels for its products. The plant could create 30,000 to 50,000 jobs.
But Gou said U.S.-made iPhones would likely cost more than those produced at Foxconn’s Zhengzhou, China facility, which churns out more than 100 million iPhones per year. “In the future, they may be paying some $500 more for U.S. products, but those do not necessarily work better than a $300 phone,” Gou told reporters.
Note: This last statement by Gou, coupled with past performance of not going forward with a number of announced facilities in various parts of the world, is why I have a “wait and see” attitude about future Foxconn plants.
Preventing De-wetting Defects In Immersion Tin Soldering
01/04/2023 | Britta Schafsteller, Atotech
Immersion tin is well accepted as a high-reliability final finish in the industry. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, it exhibits major market shares, particularly in the automotive industry. During the soldering process, an intermetallic compound (IMC) is formed between copper and tin. One remaining concern in the industry is the potential impact of the IMC on the solderability of the final finish. In this article, typical failure modes in soldering immersion tin are described and correlated to potential root causes for the defects.
Candor: UHDI Under Development
Candor Industries is a PCB fabricator investing in UHDI fabrication capabilities in Canada. To support advanced packaging, as well as the current pace of IC process shrinks, PCB fabrication capabilities must shrink to keep up. Sunny Patel, Candor’s technical sales manager, brings us up to speed on what Candor has learned in their journey to add UHDI. What we gain from this interview is that, while certainly not insignificant, the stretch to add UHDI may be not as far as one might think.

What in the name of Trump was the Herschel Walker campaign?
The former president’s man in Georgia was political nonsense personified. And he didn’t lose by much.
Perspective by Monica Hesse
Columnist |
December 7, 2022 at 11:52 a.m. EST
Herschel Walker, who lost his bid for U.S. Senate in Georgia on Tuesday, speaks at a campaign rally earlier this month. (Elijah Nouvelage for The Washington Post)
After Herschel Walker had already been accused of procuring multiple abortions for girlfriends, and after news reports revealed he had not one but three secret children, and after his most visible son, a conservative TikTok star, publicly said his father had “threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from [his] violence” — after he had done all that, it came time, on Tuesday, for Georgia voters to decide whether they wanted to elect him as a senator.
At which point NPR ran a headline that read, “Evangelical voters grapple with Herschel Walker’s controversial image.”
It raises the question: If Herschel Walker’s controversies made them “grapple” then what, exactly, would send them sprinting in the other direction? The man’s opponent was an actual, literal pastor — and still the evangelical Christians didn’t know which one to vote for?
Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D) won Georgia’s Dec. 6 runoff election against Republican challenger Herschel Walker. (Video: Blair Guild/The Washington Post)
Walker lost Tuesday’s runoff election to that opponent, incumbent Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D), by just under three percentage points per the current tally. “We put up one heck of a fight,” he said in his concession speech.
What was the campaign of Herschel Walker, football star, fumbler of sentences, Donald Trump-anointed, alleged abortion-procurer and all-around quagmire? Did we dream it? Did it dream us? It was a fiasco from the beginning, when the Associated Press reported that Walker had once violently threatened his ex-wife — all the way clear to the end: On Monday, the day before the election, an ex-girlfriend alleged that he had grabbed her by the throat and attempted to punch her (he missed, she said, and hit the wall).
Also this week, Business Insider reported that Walker had served as spokesman for two charities that appeared to engage in “little, if any charity.” Also this week, Walker criticized an unspecified “they” for “bringing pronouns into our military,” but then added, “I don’t even know what the heck is a pronoun.”
“I think Herschel Walker will probably go down as one of the worst candidates in our party’s history,” Georgia’s Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan told CBS news in an interview over the weekend.
Hesse: The baffling defense of Herschel Walker
And yet: The runoff election was necessary only because in the general election back in November, Walker and Warnock were neck and neck, each one winning nearly 2 million votes. GOP establishment figures continued, in the ensuing weeks, to support their guy. Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) showed up at a rally in the final stretch of the campaign. “You know why they’re coming after him so hard?” Graham asked. “They’re afraid of him. This is a liberal nightmare.”
The campaign was definitely some kind of nightmare. That is accurate.
Again: What was this campaign?
The Herschel Walker campaign was a slow-motion train wreck. But it was also an inevitability, something set on the tracks long ago. The logical outcome of what happens when a farcical former president fancies himself a kingmaker but favors jesters for the job — Dr. Oz, Sarah Palin.
The campaign was what happens when a party decides that “winning is a virtue,” as right-wing commentator Dana Loesch once said when explaining her support for Walker — that it is, in fact, the only virtue worth pursuing, at the expense of integrity, consistency, truthfulness. Herschel Walker’s campaign was as though a diabolical political scientist boiled down the essence of a typical Trump candidate to its essential goop, leaving behind the distilled dregs of a political philosophy that mostly centers on spouting off nonsense about pronouns and wokeness and reproductive rights and how climate legislation was unnecessary because there were “enough trees around here.”
Throughout the campaign, various commentators launched thoughtful conversations about Walker and what his candidacy said about political fitness. What his candidacy said about athlete worship. What it said about White America, and how White Americans might be using Walker for their own purposes (Please, do read Caroline Randall Williams’s sharp and thoughtful article on this topic in the Atlantic: “I don’t particularly care that Herschel Walker doesn’t seem to know he’s being used,” she wrote. “I care that America let it get this far.”). Certainly Walker himself would have been better off if he had remained retired as a beloved sports figure, in which case his personal demons might have remained private, rather than as a befuddling political figure, at which point they became fair game for public excavation.
In the end, these conversations might have been impactful — the man did lose, after all, though not by much. Less than 100,000 votes out of more than 3.5 million cast.
This (relatively) narrow result was yet another inevitability, one that has to do with another unfortunate reality of our politics: Candidate quality matters, but only at the margins. Walker is not heading to the Senate, but nearly half the Georgia electorate was ready and willing to send a man such as him to the government’s so-called “greatest deliberative body” at the behest of a former president and his core supporters, who might have voted for three bags of MAGA hats in a trench coat if Trump said it was a “great fighter.”
The candidate could have been anyone, and it was Herschel Walker.
It’s not Walker’s “controversial image” that voters, evangelical and otherwise, should be grappling with. It’s the fact that when confronted with this disaster of a campaign, they felt the need to grapple at all.
His movie scripts were rejected for 40 years. Now his Christmas film is about to air.

SEAN’S SHAMELESS REVIEWS:
JASMINE’S CORNER
Book Reviews by Jasmine Kelsey Williams
By Sean Kayden
LOS CAMPESINOS!
“No Blues,” is Los Campesinos! fifth studio album. The band from Wales
continues their streak of solid albums. This time around they’ve crafted their
finest one to date. Known for their raucous arrangements, outlandishly self-
aware lyrics, and big hooks, Los Campesinos! changes gears with “No Blues.”
It’s a more mature outing from the six-piece outfit. With each reocurring listen,
you’ll find something you didn’t pick up on from the previous run through. Frontman Gareth Paisey sings
with such passion and pathos as he navigates through themes of unsuccessful love, lost, life and death in
this incredibly enjoyable record. The erratic melodies are still present, but “No Blues,” while not all doom
and gloom is more focused, direct, and straightforward than their past outings.
Los Campesinos!’s music has been described as twee-pop.
Their sound is very vivacious, packed with lively melodies
and impassioned vocals. With “No Blues,” they carry on the
tradition, but everything feels more heartfelt. As the band
grows older, they’ve actually become wiser. They’ve always
had incredible wit when it came to their lyrical choices.
This latest album is very melodic and while being earnestly
heartfelt, it’s rather uplifting as well. “No Blues” navigates
the terrains of misguided love and sadness, but never does it come across as too sentimental or crestfallen.
Instead, there is a youthful sound attached to it. “No Blues” is comprised with a joyous assortment of
songs that make up for one unforgettable listening experience. In the world of Los Campesinos!, “No
Blues,” is their most superb record yet and one that should be heard by anyone dealing with their own
melancholy.
“No Blues” consists of 10 gloriously melodious tracks. It’s their most complete sounding record. While
other albums were good in their own right, they were more rambunctious. With this effort, it’s their most
consistent sounding album. Paisey still packs on the self-deprecating and bleakly humorous lyrics with
much passion and vigor. LC! are undoubtedly making some of the best indie pop music today. “No Blues”
is a near faultless pop record that has astonishing replay value with finely crafted melodies, multi-layered
guitars, and deeply ardent signing. No matter what, there’s a little something for everyone in “No Blues.”
And frankly, it may be the answer for your own blues.
Grade: 8.8 out of 10
Key Tracks: “For Flotsam,” “Cemetery Gaits,” “As Lucerne/The Low,” “Selling Rope (Swan Dive To
Estuary)”

THE BIG DISCONNECT: PROTECTING
CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS IN
THE DIGITAL AGE By Catherine Steiner-Adair
We now approach the middle of November and our next
selection brings us to the theme of socialization and interaction
(especially with the upcoming holidays), but with a stronger
topic and one that can fully apply to adults and today’s youth
alike. “The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family
Relationships in the Digital Age” is yet again long on title, but
plentiful in its subject and themes that Steiner conveys. The
main theme here is the importance of not just fostering, but
also keeping and maintaining close relationships with family
members, especially with some of today’s youth much more
tech-savvy than ever, and as a result, tune in more to their
screens and electronic devices (smartphone, videogames, etc.)
rather than engage with their parents. The tone of “The Big
Disconnect” is not meant to criticize, but rather inform and
enlighten readers about today’s technology and Steiner provides key points in explaining this.
Steiner explains how even though today’s technology is gradually becoming more advanced and
interactive but it can sometimes take away rather than being beneficial. One example Steiner
provides is how as a result of families acquiring technology in their home such as laptops and
smartphones, but as a result, miss out on any potential quality bonding as well as the guidance
and instruction that parents to provide to teach the workings of social skills to their children.
Another follow-up that Steiner points out is that when children turn to their screens, they start
to slow down on picking up habits that help to engage them with others, such as emotional
reasoning (learning to process how they feel within the moment). Steiner’s words speak with
encouragement, constructive criticism, and guidance on how too much technology can hinder
and not help with today’s youth and instead provides informative tips and observations on how
to unplug and interact, as well as the difference of learning a subject onscreen versus learning
the same subject in the flesh, hands-on, without the aid of a smartphone or an app. Copyrighted
in 2013, and receiving generous praise from Booklist, USA Today, Kirkus Reviews, and Wall
Street Journal, “The Big Disconnect” is an excellent and personally recommended choice that
is sure to provide insight on both today’s youth and technology.

WHEN THINGS GET IN
KALE, RISING IN POPULARITY!
It’s hard not to notice that kale is on sale in almost every supermarket now.
This is peak season for kale. Maybe you have never tried it but you should.
Kale is an amazing vegetable that tastes great and has exceptional health
benefits due to its nutrient richness. This is turn is making kale a very
popular vegetable at your local supermarkets.
Eating greens of any kind are good for you but kale is super nutritious and
provides many health benefits. Among those benefits, studies have shown
that kale can reduce the risk of dying from cancer and aids in lowering
cholesterol. Kale belongs to the same family as collards, cabbage, broccoli,
and Brussels sprouts, which are known as cruciferous vegetables.
Why should you try introducing kale into your meals more regularly? Here
are just a few kale facts: One cup of kale contains only 33 calories. So it is
low in calories, high in fiber and has zero fat. It is packed with powerful
antioxidants like vitamin C, A and K. Kale is a good source of iron and
calcium. Calorie for calorie, kale has more iron than beef and more calcium than milk.
Here is a simple, healthy kale recipe that is DELICIOUS!
BLACK BEAN, KALE, AND SWEET POTATO HASH
2 cups chopped kale (stems removed)
1 cup chopped onions (white or sweet)
4 cups roasted sweet potatoes
2 cups/cans black beans
1. Chop sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch cube, spread in a shallow roasting pan or baking sheet, add
¼ cup of vegetable broth and roast at 325 degrees until cooked through.
2. In a large skillet, on medium heat sauté onions until just a little soft.
3. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet stirring occasionally for 10 minutes (add more
vegetable broth if potatoes start to stick to the bottom of the pan)
4. Add black beans and cook for an additional two minutes stirring gently to avoid sticking.
5. Now add kale and fold in until it is completely softened/wilted.
6. Serve with avocado slices and your favorite hot sauce or salsa on the side.
For more on the benefits of kale or to see pictures of this recipe at different stages of the preparation, visit
my blog on my website at www.vibrantlivingwc.com
“I was practicing everyday. I felt great. Then I got a cold. 3 weeks later I made it back to class. It felt
great. I was weaker, but got it back. Then we went on vacation, then it was the Holidays, then taxes,
then…” well, you get the picture. There are a million reasons not to go to class today. “I have to help
my sister. I have to go to a meeting at school. My son has a dentist appointment. Work is crazy right
now. I feel too fat to go to yoga. I just haven’t had time.” -I hear this all the time!
This is the story of everyday life. The thing is – we feel so much better when we practice. Our lives
start flowing better also. What about if there is a bigger tragedy or strife? What do we fall back on? It
is then that we need the yoga more than ever. Our practice centers us, calms us focuses us, helps with
our physical wellbeing, our spiritual wellbeing. In a nutshell: yoga helps us live a better life. Yoga is
about finding happiness in our selves. What better way to face adversity than from a place of calm?
With a better understanding of ourselves and how we process and overcome – we can be powerful
creatures indeed.
When things are busy, not going great, stressful, and we have no time – that’s when we need to get on
the mat even more!
But here’s the best part: yoga is always there for you. It doesn’t have to take up your whole day, you
can do just a little bit today or you can just do a gentle class. Yoga welcomes you back home, to
yourself, whenever you wish to be there.
See you in class. Namasté, René

Construction of London mega-court begins
By Monidipa Fouzder >>
(18 October 2022)
Construction has begun on an 18-court complex that represents ‘a vision of how justice will work in the future’ according to lord chancellor Brandon Lewis, who unveiled the foundation stones today.
The 45,785 sqm development (pictured above), which is being funded and delivered by the City of London Corporation, will house the City of London Law Courts and City of London Police’s headquarters in Fleet Street.
City of London Corporation said the City of London Law Courts – which will include magistrates, civil and Crown courts – will ‘harness new technology and modern ways of working to try economic crime cases’.
Building work will finish in 2026.
Lewis said: ‘The City of London Law Courts represent a vision of how justice will work in future – with modern, innovative and flexible courts in fit-for-purpose buildings. The Salisbury Square Development symbolises our place as one of the leading centres for business, law and justice as we ensure that the UK remains attractive to global business and investment.
After unveiling the foundation, Lewis took questions from journalists, who asked about crumbling courts and court closures. Lewis said he wanteed to make courts fit for the 21st and 22nd century and the purpose of the City of London Law Courts was to expand capacity.

URANIA URN 22.368 [77.02]
Ettore Bastianini died of throat cancer in 1967 at only forty-four years old. In a career spanning little more than a dozen years, he came to typify the ideal Verdi baritone. His voice had a burnished, brazen quality that carried an inimitable thrill even if at times he lacked subtlety. His early training as a bass, before he shifted tessitura in 1952, seemed to give the lower reaches of his voice a stentorian heft that does not sound as if it could be comfortably carried up. Despite this he developed the most brilliant upper extension rising to a ringing top A flat. His diction was exemplary and he was handsome of physique; perhaps the only baritone who could properly measure up, physically and vocally, to Franco Corelli and Mario Del Monaco on stage. Just occasionally, a certain ennui would creep into his performances. He could, with some justification, be accused of merely going through the motions when it came to dramatic nuance – but with a voice as grand as his, few complained. On record, this tendency towards carelessness of characterisation and even monotony of sound can be more noticeable, yet there are so many purely vocal compensations that it seems churlish to demur. John Culshaw, the famous Decca producer, claimed that as his career developed, Bastianini grew tired of the baritone repertoire that ideally suited him and perhaps even began to regret the change he had made from bass to baritone. If this was true, it lends a horrible irony to the onset of the disease and the manner of his death. An intensely private man, Bastianini concealed the illness that was so soon to kill him, resulting in some booing of his performances at the Met in 1965 which in retrospect seems shameful. Very few people had any idea of his terrible affliction, even though towards the end of his career it manifested itself in unpredictable hoarseness. Here, however, we hear him at his best. Pavel Lisitsian was the only contemporary baritone who could rival him in sheer Italianate amplitude of voice; to find their equal you would have to go back to Ruffo, Stracciari and Amato, putting Bastianini in exalted company.
This well-filled recital disc from Urania is made up of both studio and live recordings. It is slightly odd that it does not include any of his famous performances in “Il Trovatore”, yet the booklet contains a photograph of him as di Luna accompanied by Corelli. We still have here a healthy selection of Verdi, plus Ponchielli, Rossini and Donizetti. Although neither of the latter two composers was exactly ideal for his voice, he was singing at a time when the “big-boned” approach to Donizetti was still prevalent and any baritone worth his salt had to sing the Barber. It is nonetheless in Verdi and verismo roles that he excelled, especially Gérard in “Andrea Chénier”, Michonnet in “Adriana Lecouvreur” and Tonio in “I Pagliacci”, but none of the latter is present. So although there is much to enjoy in this compilation it does not comprehensively reflect Bastianini’s achievement, nor do I know of a disc that does. For so major a singer, there is at present comparatively little available, although I have recently acquired recital discs from Andromeda and Myto. Otherwise, Bastianini made about a dozen studio recordings of complete operas, mostly with Decca.
The first half of the disc consists of seven extracts from five complete sets; the remaining five tracks are from two live recordings: a 1957 “Un ballo in maschera” and a 1956 “Don Carlo”. Track seven is wrongly described as live; it is from the 1957 studio recording of “La Gioconda” with an exalted cast: Cerquetti, Simionato, Del Monaco, Siepi and Bastianini himself, here singing “O monumento!”. Track five, from “La Favorita”, contains a misprint in the title and should read “Giardini dell’Alcazar”.
The first excerpts from the complete 1956 recording of “Il barbiere di Siviglia” finds Bastianini in rock-solid voice, belting out top Gs with gusto and making an excellent job of exploiting the comic possibilities of the rôle. His diction, expression and timing are superb, and although Erede’s speeds are steadier than those of Schüchter in the 1954 recording of the “Largo”, Bastianini is more characterful and the recording quality superior. The second extended excerpt is with Alvino Misciano, a worthy tenor previously unknown to me. It goes very well and there is a lovely lilt in the concluding “Già viene l’oro”. Next come excerpts from the complete “Lucia di Lammermoor” with Renata Scotto in excellent form. This set has been overlooked in favour of those starring Callas and Sutherland. It is true that by 1958 Di Stefano is already in less than freshest voice and Scotto is a little anonymous; even so there is much to enjoy here. There is no mention of the source for these re-masterings, but some thumps, swooshes and fluctuations of pitch suggest that they have been taken from LPs. Bastianini does not attempt much subtlety in his characterisation but Edgardo is in any case a bit of a brute, so he does what is required and in glorious voice delivers a forthright account of those hectoring arias. I have not been able to discover who the uncredited comprimario tenor is – the one who sings Normanno; no doubt someone who owns the complete set can supply this information.
The soulful aria from “La Favorita” allows Bastianini to display his beautiful legato and even a trill. We are then back on his real home territory with “Urna fatal” from “La forza del destino”, where the richness of the lower regions of his voice is deployed to telling effect. Why are so many of the great baritone rôles such absurd and unpleasant people? I think it a pity that the selections from “Un ballo in maschera” are from the live Florence performance when the live 1957 set from Milan with Callas and Di Stefano is preferable. The sound in both is pretty crumbly, but the latter is definitely superior artistically. Bastianini in particular gives us a more refined Renato in Milan. In Florence “O dolcezze perdute” is a little crude and even unsteady. Poggi - alongside whom Bastianini too often found himself performing - is a distinct liability compared with Di Stefano at his finest.
Finally, the two excerpts from “Don Carlo” present Bastianini as he is best remembered. The great confrontation with Philip is riveting, especially as he is in the company of the finest post-war exponent of the role of King in Cesare Siepi, who evokes a terrible world-weariness which juxtaposes tellingly with the brash idealism of Posa. Siepi’s concentrated economy of expression makes the perfect contrast with Bastianini’s extraversion; both singers are perfectly in character. A comparison with the 1958 live recording from Salzburg conducted by Karajan reveals a remarkable consistency between their performances. On both occasions Siepi makes Philip’s sudden emotional revelation very moving and Bastianini wholly captures Posa’s wide-eyed amazement as he sees his king crumble. The difference between the two performances lies more in the nature of the recorded sound and conducting rather than in the singers. In Salzburg the overall sound picture is clearer but the voices are more recessed and Karajan finds more detail in the score. In Florence, Votto creates more momentum and voices are more forward, but the sound is generally fuzzier. Both performances are treasurable. If you want a studio recording then the hard-to-find 1962 DG set with Christoff is also very fine but Bastianini is in marginally drier, less pliant voice.
Given the current paucity of Bastianini recitals, this Urania edition makes a valuable contribution to the discography. It will doubtless urge many to become better acquainted with this uniquely vibrant voice by exploring his complete recordings. He might not always have been the most nuanced of artists but the splendour of his baritone carries all before.

Affordable clinics taking load off hospitals
By Kang Bing | China Daily | Updated: 2022-11-29 07:42
[Photo/IC]
Editor's note: China has established a basic medical insurance system with universal coverage. This has played an important role in making medical services more accessible and affordable, especially improving people's well-being and maintaining social harmony and stability in rural areas, writes a veteran journalist with China Daily.
Former US president Barack Obama signed the medical reform plan, Obamacare, in 2009, the same year when the Chinese government launched the New Cooperative Medical System. Both programs aimed at providing medical insurance to vulnerable groups who cannot afford to pay expensive medical bills.
More than a decade later, while about 30 million Americans are said to have benefited from Obamacare, many aspects of the law have got embroiled in litigation with opponents forever trying to overturn it.
In China, more than 800 million rural residents have signed up for the NCMS. For 350 yuan (about $49) each year, each payee gets about 70 percent of their medical expenses covered by insurance. The central authorities have also carried out several bulk-buying programs to bring down medical costs per patient and so far helped save about 300 billion yuan in medical insurance costs and patient expenditure.
Medical care has become affordable — 1.36 billion Chinese people are covered under medical insurance now — thanks largely to the government's persistent efforts. In the past decade, governments at various levels have worked hard at building and improving the primary medical institutions to make healthcare accessible for all citizens.
China now has nearly 980,000 primary medical institutions supported by 4.4 million grassroots healthcare workers. Such a network enables 90 percent of Chinese families to reach the nearest clinic in their community or village within 15 minutes.
Chinese citizens used to complain about difficulties in making an appointment with doctors who were overwhelmed by patients. Absence of institutional arrangements such as primary checking and treating by family doctors or grassroots clinics compelled many patients to throng hospitals to consult the best doctors possible for even a mild cold.
The establishment of the grassroots network diverted this stream of patients who were otherwise flowing into hospitals. Reportedly, of the 7.7 billion patients who visited medical institutions in 2020, around 55 percent went to community or village clinics, thus greatly reducing the load on hospitals.
To encourage more patients to visit such clinics, the authorities have introduced preferential policies such as not asking for any registration fee or charging just a token 1 yuan. The proportion of medical bills covered by medical insurance is also higher at clinics — 90 percent, as compared with 70-80 percent at hospitals.
Different from hospitals for disease control and prevention, primary health institutions provide both basic medical and public health services by treating mild diseases, as well as following up on patients with chronic diseases and newborns. In the past decade, Chinese people's life expectancy has grown by 2-3 months every year — last year it was 78.2. Credit for this goes largely to these grassroots-level health workers.
Efforts have also been made to improve the service quality in primary institutions. For instance, there used to be two community clinics close to each other in my neighborhood. Two years ago, they were merged into one. The new clinic is better equipped and armed with more doctors who are specialized in various fields and can attend to most cases.
The new clinic also employs doctors trained in traditional Chinese medicine and, on certain days of the week they invite experts from bigger hospitals — where appointments are generally difficult to get — to attend to the patients.
Rural clinics are simpler, usually having just one or two doctors. Judging by a few village clinics I have visited, they generally have a refrigerator and two shelves to store medicines in and instruments to measure patient's blood pressure and carry out blood sugar tests. A good thing about such clinics is that some of them provide basic medicines for free, thanks not only to the NCMS, but also government subsidies at different levels.
Now that a network of primary healthcare centers has been established, more efforts should be made to improve the quality of medical service in the institutions, especially in the rural clinics, because it is the villagers who need such help the most.

Fabricating cures for Blindness
January 30, 2017 Blogs
By Pramila Komanduri
Two Blind Brothers is the name of a clothing company in New York City which was started by two brothers, Bradford and Bryan Manning, who have had Stargardt’s disease since they were young children. Both brothers went on to participate in sports and complete their college education from the University of Virginia in spite of the disease which causes progressive loss of central vision in the eyes. Recognizing that sense of touch is important for the visually impaired, the Manning brothers developed the idea of creating clothing which feels good to the touch. All garments come with a metal tag which is embossed with the word ‘brother’ in Braille. As both brothers have full-time jobs outside of the clothing company they are able to donate all proceeds from it towards research for cures for blindness. Pramila Komanduri spoke to Bradford and Bryan, here are excerpts from the interview. Read more

34th anniversary of a crime that is still being committed, but ignored
Avoyelles Parish, Misconduct, News 4 Responses »
If truth was as clear, powerful, and respected as water, Simmons’ actual innocence—demonstrated in the new book “Louisiana v. Vincent Simmons: Frame-up in Avoyelles Parish” by Katja Pumm—would wash him out of the penal system. He has been confined since Monday May 23, 1977—which falls on the same weekday this year.
MONDAY, MAY 9, 1977 (approx. 9 P.M. – 12 P.M.):
Eighteen year-old Keith Laborde is driving around with his minor cousins Sharon and Karen Sanders in his old car.
SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1977 (approx. 6 P.M.):
Sharon and Karen Sanders report to Sheriff “Potch” Didier, Major Fabius Didier, Captain Floyd Juneau and Deputy Barbara DeCuir at the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office that a “black man” raped them on May 9, 1977.
MONDAY, MAY 23, 1977:
(7 A.M.): Captain Floyd Juneau’s and Lieutenant Robert Laborde’s shift begins.
(8 A.M.): Juneau and Laborde “decide” to arrest African American Vincent Simmons.
(9 P.M.): Simmons is strolling down Waddil Street in Marksville near the St. Joseph cemetery. Lead investigator Captain Floyd Juneau and Lieutenant Robert Laborde come by in their patrol car and arrest him “on view,” without an arrest warrant, for two counts of aggravated rape. At the Sheriff’s Office, Potch Didier tells Captain Melvin Villemarette to establish a line-up with the arrestee. The line-up consists of one white and seven black persons. Fotos show that Simmons (number 4) is the only one in handcuffs.Keith Laborde, Sharon and Karen Sanders are together in the room behind the mirror and indentify the handcuffed man.
(approx. 9:30 A.M. – 10:00 A.M.): Officers Laborde and Villemarette take the shackled Simmons upstairs to the ID room. They do not interrogate him. Vincent Simmons refuses to sign a confession that Laborde has formulated. Lieutenant Robert Laborde shoots Simmons in his left chest missing the arrestee’s heart by three inches. Several colleagues and the sheriff witness the scene seconds later. Laborde and Villemarette allege that Simmons took Villemarette’s gun and tried to shoot them.
Before the shooting, Keith Laborde begins to give his statements to Deputy Barbara DeCuir and Captain Floyd Juneau.
Coroner F. P. Bordelon arranges for the shooting victim to be rushed to the Huey P. Long Hospital in Pineville, Louisiana. Simmons is unconscious. Lieutenant Laborde’s weapon is released for investigation.
District Attorney “Eddie” Knoll calls the victims’ family at the house of Keith Laborde’s father.Sharon and Karen Sanders give their handwritten statements.
Judge Earl Edwards now orders to arrest Vincent Simmons for the rape of Sharon and Karen Sanders. The police officers take fotos of Keith Laborde’s car and the alleged crime scene on Little California Road. Lieutenant Robert Laborde writes a supplementary report concerning the “offense” of the “investigation and shooting of Vincent Simmons” in Captain Villemarette’s and his own name.
TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1977:
Coroner F. P. Bordelon examines both girls and discovers that one of the girls’ “hymen was in tact and I was unable to insert one examining finger.” The twins mention the name “Vincent Simmons” for the first time while telling Dr. Bordelon what happened on May 9, 1977.Captain Juneau and Lieutenant Laborde request a search warrant for the homes of two of Simmons’ sisters. They seek “maroon trousers, silk looking shirt with tassle like appendages” and a “brown handle pistol about six or seven inches long.“
WEDNESDAY, May 25, 1977:
(2:30 P.M.): Captain Floyd Juneau seizes a “black shirt with ruffles,” a “pair maroon jeans,” and a “pair of double knit pants (maroon in color)” at Simmons’ common law brother-in-law’s house. The investigators Floyd Juneau and Robert Laborde charge Vincent Simmons with two counts of aggravated rape and two counts of attempted murder.
FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1977:
Four days after the shooting, Vincent Simmons is released from hospital. Sheriff deputies take him back to Avoyelles Parish and put him in a one man jail cell at the Sheriff’s Department.
FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1977:
The Grand Jury of Avoyelles Parish indicts Vincent Simmons for two counts of aggravated rape and two counts of attempted murder and returns a True Bill.Coroner F. P. Bordelon formulates his findings about his medical examination of the two fourteen-year-old girls in his written reports addressed to District Attorney “Eddie” Knoll.
THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1977:
Public defender Harold Brouillette files a Motion for Preliminary Hearing. Judge Earl Edwards orders that “a preliminary hearing be held in the case of State of Louisiana vs. Vincent Simmons on the two counts of aggravated rape on the 7 day of July, 1977, at 1 o’clock P.M.” WEDNESDAY,
The United States Supreme Court rules in Coker v. Georgia that the death penalty is unconstitutional for the crime of rape.THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1977 (1 P.M.):
After the preliminary hearing, Judge Edwards schedules Simmons’ trial for July 18, 1977.
THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1977:
Assistant District Attorney Jeannette Theriot Knoll files a Motion to Amend Indictment. She requests that the indictment of two counts of aggravated rape be amended to two counts of attempted aggravated rape. Judge Edwards signs the motion behind closed doors–without a second Grand Jury hearing.
Note: now after the decision in Coker v. Georgia, aggravated rape only carried a twenty-year sentence per count upon conviction because there was no other law in the books yet. Attempted aggravated rape, however, would imprison Simmons for fifty years per count, if convicted.
MONDAY, JULY 18, 1977: jury selection
TUESDAY, JULY 19 and WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1977: trial. It ends with a guilty verdict.
THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1977:Judge Earl Edwards imposes a one hundred-year sentence (fifty years for each count, to run consecutive).

600 girls in Obuasi Municipality receive free sanitary pads
26th Nov 2022 | Source: Ghanaian Times
The beneficiaries displaying their sanitary pads
About 600 girls from three communities within the Obuasi Municipality, Obuasi East and Akrofuomdistricts, have taken delivery of quantities of free sanitary pads which can last for, at least, six months.
The gesture was under the auspices of the Rotary Club of Obuasi in collaboration with Girls Shall Grow, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) based in Obuasi, to educate girls on menstrual hygiene and teenage pregnancy.
It formed part of the declaration made by Rotary International President, directing all clubs to make girl-child empowerment their number one priority for 2021 and 2022.
The Past President of the Obuasi Rotary Club, Mr Sarwan Kumar, who led the club to make the donation emphasised the importance of supporting girls during periods of menstruation.
He said the club recognised the challenges most girls go through during menstruation.
“In our quest to empower the girl-child, we have decided to educate them on safe menstruation, teenage pregnancy and also donate sanitary pads which they can use for the next six months.We are optimistic that this will take some burden off them and their parents to enable them focus more on their studies,” he said.
The President-elect for Obuasi Rotary, Mr Godfrey Mwachande, reiterated that the club would continue to offer support to girls during menstruation in a bid to ensure that communities beyond Obuasi were covered.
“Since menstruation is a natural process, we are aware of the challenges hence are always ready to help,” he added.
Executive Director of the NGO, Louisa Amoah, lauded Rotarians in Ghana for the gesture and also for constructing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities in schools to support their course.
She said hitherto, girls were unable to manage their menstruation safely and hygienically due to the absence of proper WASH facilities, “but through our advocacy, now we have seen WASH facilities being constructed in schools in Obuasi.”
Mrs Cecilia Salifu, the Obuasi Municipal Girls Coordinator, on her part, proposed the provision of pad banks to make sanitary pads easily accessible by girls in schools.
She underscored the importance of making sanitary pads available to girls who sometimes go through difficulties in observing safe menstruation.
She commended efforts made by groups like Rotary Club of Obuasi and Girls Shall Grow in empowering girls and providing free sanitary pads.
DelphineEsiGborgblorvor, director of health for Obuasi East district, also shared support for the exercise carried out by Rotarians in Obuasi.
She advocated the project be scaled-up to cover more girls in the communities, especially those in schools.
