MilliporeSigma to Develop Next-Generation Purification Processes with International Vaccine Institute
- Company to provide expertise on clarification and purification
- Collaboration will improve manufacturing processes to deliver greater yield, allowing higher recovery and providing higher purity vaccines
BILLERICA, Mass., June 28, 2016 /CNW/ -- MilliporeSigma has entered a research agreement with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) of Seoul, South Korea to help develop more robust, scalable vaccine manufacturing processes. MilliporeSigma will provide funding and expertise in the areas of clarification and purification.
The IVI is a nonprofit international organization committed to the discovery, development and delivery of safe, effective and affordable vaccines for global public health. The new collaboration between MilliporeSigma and IVI is aimed at improving the manufacturing process to deliver greater yield, allowing higher recovery and purer vaccines. Many vaccine manufacturers in the United States and Western Europe face also high manufacturing costs, and the partnership aims to address these challenges.
"Complex manufacturing processes along with poor yield and recovery result in vaccines that are not easily affordable by resource-challenged countries," said Udit Batra, Member of the Executive Board, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and CEO, MilliporeSigma. "Through our partnership with IVI, we will help create a more modern, scalable and robust manufacturing process, which in turn will help increase access to life-saving vaccines in developing countries."
IVI was founded on the belief that the health of children in developing countries can be dramatically improved through access to new and improved vaccines, according to Jerome Kim, M.D., Director General of IVI. "We expect that our collaboration with MilliporeSigma will result in important dividends to a large population of people with unmet medical needs," said Kim. "This partnership will help us better address the vaccine needs of low- and middle-income countries and ultimately contribute to our mission."
Initially, the project will focus on a vaccine for typhoid, with the goal of applying findings to the processes for pneumococcal, meningococcal, haemophilus, staphylococcus, streptococcus B and other conjugated polysaccharide vaccines.
With a rapidly expanding pipeline of conjugated polysaccharide vaccines, the global pharmaceutical industry needs next-generation processes for clarification and purification to ensure high-quality, affordable vaccines. Through this partnership with IVI, MilliporeSigma will apply its industry-leading technologies and expertise to this challenge, which in turn will help optimize other vaccine manufacturing processes.
This initiative is part of MilliporeSigma's corporate responsibility program which focuses on expanding access to high-quality healthcare, especially in low- and middle-income countries. As part of this initiative, MilliporeSigma leverages its expertise and collaborates with strong partners to develop solutions for patients in these geographies.

The Chinese Navy, Zambian Copper, and Libya
What does a shooting in Zambia have to do with a Chinese warship steaming into the Mediterranean this week in an unprecedented display of the new P.L.A. Navy?
Two Chinese mining managers in Zambia are scheduled to go on trial for attempted murder next month, accused of shooting and wounding thirteen miners during a 2008 riot over wages at a Chinese-owned coal mine. That riot, in October, 2010, was followed last month by another burst of unrest in Zambia when hundreds of miners at NFCA Mining, in a long-running dispute with Chinese management, burned and vandalized company vehicles and shattered windows. It is all part of a low boil of unrest that has persisted over the past few years, as Chinese-owned enterprises have injected money into Zambia’s mining sector.
Zambia is hardly the only place that Chinese ventures have encountered security trouble in recent years. According to a tally published last August in a valuable report by the security analysts Andrew Erickson and Gabe Collins, of China Signpost, seven Chinese oil workers in Ethiopia were killed during an attack on Ethiopian forces guarding a Sinopec facility in April 2007; nine Chinese oil workers were taken hostage in Sudan in 2008, and five died in a rescue attempt. And four Chinese workers died during bomb blasts at a dam construction site in northern Burma’s Kachin state last April.
At least five million Chinese citizens are working around the world today, up more than forty per cent since 2005, and more than any time since the founding of the People’s Republic. Erickson and Collins predicted last August that “China’s ongoing anti-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden is arguably the first step in overseas military deployments to protect PRC citizens working overseas.” Sure enough, last week brought the news that China has dispatched the frigate Xuzhou from off the coast of Somalia to steam to the Libyan coast to help evacuate members of the roughly thirty thousand Chinese citizens in Libya. The move has attracted widespread attention because it was a dramatic demonstration of how the Chinese government intends to use its expanding naval power around the world.
American and British vessels have been evacuating their civilians from hotspots around the world for decades, but its now abundantly clear that we should acclimate to an age in which China will be doing the same. In Zambia, where Chinese investment has been cheered by the government, but also stoked repeated flare-ups from critics and workers, it’s easy to envision a scenario in which shots fired into a crowd trigger not simply a courtroom drama, but a larger backlash against the Chinese presence.
China is still getting accustomed to having so people working in dangerous—but profitable—places. The first time it ever faced a civilian evacuation was just eleven years ago, when a hundred and twenty Chinese citizens found themselves in the middle of ethnic tensions in the Solomon Islands. In that case, China rustled up a cargo ship and some flights, but it was a decidedly novice operation; a key part of the evacuation plan involved getting the telephone number of the local rebel chief to figure out which part of the city would be safest through which to pass. As Erickson and Collins noted last summer, “Apparently the PLAN”—the Chinese Navy—“may have been asked to send a vessel but was unable to do so.” What a difference a decade makes.

China Builds Artificial Islands in South China Sea
April 7, 2017 June 23, 2014 by Brian Wang
Sand, cement, wood, and steel are China’s weapons of choice as it asserts its claim over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Brunei have sparred for decades over ownership of the 100 islands and reefs, which measure less than 1,300 acres in total but stretch across an area about the size of Iraq. In recent months, vessels belonging to the People’s Republic have been spotted ferrying construction materials to build new islands in the sea. Pasi Abdulpata, a Filipino fishing contractor who in October was plying the waters near Parola Island in the northern Spratlys, says he came across “this huge Chinese ship sucking sand and rocks from one end of the ocean and blasting it to the other using a tube.”
Artificial islands could help China anchor its claim to waters that host some of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. The South China Sea may hold as much as 11 billion barrels of oil and 190 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, according to a 2013 report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
At a briefing last month, Voltaire Gazmin, the Philippine defense minister, said land reclamation work at Johnson South Reef started in February. There have been reports of Chinese activity at two other reefs in the Spratlys. “They are creating artificial islands that never existed since the creation of the world,” says Eugenio Bito-onon, mayor of a sparsely populated stretch of the archipelago called Kalayaan. “The construction is massive and nonstop,” he says, and could pave the way for China’s “total control of the South China Sea.”
China has been pushing back against an attempt by Japan, another territorial rival, to claim a continental shelf and exclusive economic zone around a tiny atoll in another body of water. The atoll, called Okinotorishima, sits in the Philippine Sea, east of the Philippines and Taiwan and west of Guam. Only two knobs are visible at high tide. As of 2012, Japan had spent $600 million to surround the atoll with a wall of concrete, according to a report by Foreign Policy. Fishery officials planted extra coral in the area to reinforce the appearance of an island.

Jimmy Garoppolo, Jordan Tripp lead top FCS draft prospects

There are always a handful of players in the NFL draft who make people say, "Who's he?" when they get picked. A lot of times these players come from the smaller, lesser-known schools in the FCS, which obviously don't receive as much national exposure as the bigger programs in the FBS.
NFL team needs
With the NFL season in its final month, Daniel Jeremiah takes a look at the draft order if the season ended today, with the top three draft needs for each team. **More ...**
This weekend, the FCS playoffs head into the quarterfinal round, and it's another chance for the players to get noticed and improve their stock in the draft, but it's also a chance for scouts and NFL teams to get a closer look and evaluate the players against higher-quality competition.
The knock on FCS players, of course, is that they were not major college recruits, probably because they weren't fast enough or strong enough, and that's why they're in the FCS and not one of the bigger programs. They're good football players, but the quality of play, especially when you observe the overall team speed, generally isn't up to the standard of the FBS schools.
Still, this season alone, nearly a dozen FCS schools have wins over Div. I-A teams, including North Dakota State's win over Kansas State and Eastern Washington's win over Oregon State, both of which happened the first week of the season. There's talent to be found here.
Here's a look at a few FCS players you might not have heard about but have a good chance to play in the NFL soon. The majority of them are seniors, with a couple of underclassmen from Eastern Washington sprinkled in, and you'll have a chance to see a few of them who are still alive in the FCS playoffs this weekend.
» Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois: Garoppolo (6-foot-2 1/4, 222 pounds) is ranked No. 40 in my Hot 100 senior prospects, and I recently put him in my second tier of QBs expected to be available in the 2014 draft, along with more popular names such as AJ McCarron and Aaron Murray. Garoppolo had a big game last week against Tennessee State, with 240 passing yards and three touchdowns. He has a good chance to be drafted on the second day, in either the second or third round.
» Jordan Tripp, LB, Montana: Tripp is expected to play in the East-West Shrine Game next month and also has a chance to be a second-day draft pick. At 6-2 7/8, 235 pounds with a 4.65 40, he has size, speed and toughness. He will probably need to play outside linebacker in the NFL.
» Daniel Kistler, OT, Montana: Kistler has good size at 6-8, 315 pounds, and very long arms, but he doesn't have enough quickness in his feet to be a left tackle; he will probably be drafted as a right tackle.
» Zachary Bauman, RB, Northern Arizona: A four-year starter, Bauman is a shorter running back (5-8 1/2, 194), but he has been a very productive player, including a 266-yard game against Idaho State in October. He has good but not exceptional speed.
» Marcus Williams, CB, North Dakota State: With his size (5-10, 198) and speed (4.5 speed), I think Williams has a pretty good shot to make it as an NFL cornerback. He's a good tackler, and he can play in space.
» Kendall James, DB, Maine: James is not very big, but he has good coverage skills and very good speed; he was clocked at 4.35 in the 40-yard dash. Maine has produced a handful of players who've gone on to play well in the NFL.
» Todd Washington, DB, Southeast Louisiana: Washington (5-11, 186) isn't quite as physical as Robert Alford, a Southeast Louisiana alum who was drafted in the second round by the Atlanta Falcons in April, but he shows a good ability to break on the ball and is a pretty good backpedaler.
» Cqulin Hubert, LB, Southeast Louisiana: A transfer from Texas Tech, Hubert is better against the run than he is against the pass. He is 242 pounds and could play middle linebacker in the NFL, but there's some question whether he'll be fast enough to cover in space.
» Tim Flanders, RB, Sam Houston State: A transfer from Kansas State, Flanders had his signature game this season against Texas A&M, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns and adding a receiving touchdown in the loss. He will play in the East-West Shrine Game.
» Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington: A redshirt freshman, Kupp broke several FCS receiving records this season, including most TDs by a freshman (20), a mark previously held by former Marshall receiver Randy Moss. Kupp has scored a touchdown in every game he's played this year. At 6-2, 195 pounds, he's a good-sized receiver. His dad and grandfather both played in the NFL.
» Vernon Adams, QB, Eastern Washington: Just a sophomore, Adams throws the ball very well and has had a nice season, passing for more than 4,000 yards and 50 touchdowns. He lacks size, however, at just 6-0, 190 pounds.
» Gavin Ellis, Jacksonville State, TE: Ellis has very good size (6-6 5/8, 248) with 4.75 speed and has skills as both a passer and blocker.

Jamie Dew elected president of New Orleans Seminary
By Marilyn Stewart and Gary D. Myers
on Wednesday, June 5, 2019
NEW ORLEANS -- James K. "Jamie" Dew Jr. has been elected ninth president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in a special called trustee meeting today (June 5).
Dew comes to NOBTS from his position as vice president for undergraduate studies and distance learning at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C.
"I'm humbled to the core of my being," Dew said in accepting the NOBTS position. "I'm going to give you everything I have. I believe we're going to have a fantastic time as we go forward together."
Trustee chairman Tony Lambert pointed to Proverbs 21:1 in announcing Dew's election, adding, "Today, we ask that this will always be true for the now president and professor of Christian philosophy," reflecting the passage's picture of "channeled water in the Lord's hand."
Frank Cox, chairman of the presidential search committee, said each of the four final candidates were excellent choices, but that the committee became convinced that God was leading them to Dew.
"There are certain times in my life when I know that God showed up," Cox said of the interview process that confirmed Dew as the nominee. "This was one of those times."
The search committee announced May 20 its unanimous decision to nominate Dew to succeed Chancellor Chuck Kelley, who retires July 31.
Dew laid out his vision for the seminary, with the Great Commission as his focus in pledging his commitment to equipping students to follow Christ and go "to all nations" sharing the Gospel and leading lives of service to others.
"I will give you everything that I am to champion New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary," he stated.
Dew's academic credentials include a Ph.D. in theological studies from Southeastern and a Ph.D. in philosophy conferred this summer from the University of Birmingham in the U.K. His holds a master of divinity in pastoral ministry from Southeastern and an undergraduate degree in biblical studies from Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa, Ga.
Elected to Southeastern's faculty in 2011, Dew was named dean of the College at Southeastern in 2013; his role was expanded in 2014 to his current vice presidential position, supervising the college, all aspects of distance learning, the prison programs and the writing center. Dew also teaches and mentors SEBTS undergraduate, master's and doctoral students in his role as associate professor of philosophy and the history of ideas.
Dew is the author of four books: "Philosophy: A Christian Introduction," "God and the Problem of Evil: Five Views," "How Do We Know? An Introduction to Epistemology" and "God and Evil: The Case for God in a World Filled with Pain."
An extensive presidential search process was initiated after Chuck Kelley's October 2018 announcement that he planned to retire on July 31. Cox, chairman of the NOBTS trustee board at the time, selected a diverse committee to conduct the presidential search. Its 11 members, NOBTS noted, included male, female, Asian, African American and Caucasian members representing a wide range of backgrounds including educators, administrators, pastors, students and business leaders.
Bo Rice, search committee member and NOBTS dean of graduate studies, said the committee felt God's leading from their first meeting with Dew.
"From the outset, we heard [Dew's] passion for training ministers and missionaries who would be part of fulfilling the Great Commission," Rice said. "We were encouraged as he began to discuss an exciting vision for the future."
Married for 18 years, Dew and his wife Tara are the parents of two sets of twins -- Natalie and Nathan, 12, and Samantha and Samuel, 9. Tara Dew holds a doctor of education degree from Southeastern focusing on the preparedness of pastors' wives.
Nine members of the board of trustees served on the search committee: Bryant Barnes (Miss.), Jack Bell (La.), Frank Cox (Ga.), John Foster (La.), Jackie Myers (La.), Gary Shows (Miss.), David Um (Mass.), Dan Wilson (Calif.) and David Leavell (Tenn.) Alternates Tony Lambert (Colo.) and Waylon Bailey (La.) joined the search committee this spring as Leavell and Bell stepped down for personal reasons. Bo Rice, NOBTS dean of graduate studies, represented the faculty on the committee. Michael Wang was the student representative. Tony Lambert (Colo.) was an alternate.
Rice said he was impressed that Dew had a clear vision for the seminary despite having "very little personal knowledge of the institution."
"It became apparent that the Lord was opening the eyes of Dr. Dew to see a bright future for our beloved New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary," Rice said.
Cox said the committee received many nominations from Southern Baptists including three African American nominees and one Hispanic nominee. In total, he noted, the committee carefully reviewed 20 candidates.
The committee placed a high priority on church ministry experience from the beginning of the search process. Since 1996, Dew has engaged in a wide range of church ministries, including stints as youth minister, minister to adults, interim pastor and senior pastor. Dew served eight years as senior pastor of Stony Hill Baptist Church in Wake Forest, N.C., and currently serves as a care group leader, discipleship leader and AWANA leader at Open Door Church in Wake Forest.
Tony Lambert, chairman of the board of trustees, said, "I do believe our greatest days are ahead."

Norges Bank shall draw up a decision basis and advise the Ministry of Finance on the level of banks' countercyclical capital buffer four times a year. In the Regulation on the Level of the Countercyclical Capital Buffer of 12 December 2013, the buffer rate was set at 1 percent effective from 30 June 2015. On 4 April, the Ministry of Finance decided to leave the level unchanged in line with the advice submitted by Norges Bank.
The decision basis for the advice in 2014 Q2 is presented in the June 2014 Monetary Policy Report. As part of its work in preparing the advice, Norges Bank has exchanged information and assessments with Finanstilsynet (Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway).
The premise for Norges Bank's assessment is that banks should build up and hold a countercyclical capital buffer when financial imbalances are building up or have built up over a period. The buffer rate will be assessed in the light of other requirements applying to banks. The buffer rate can be reduced in the event of an economic downturn and large bank losses, with a view to mitigating the procyclical effects of tighter bank lending. The countercyclical capital buffer is not an instrument for fine-tuning the economy.
According to the Regulation on the Countercyclical Capital Buffer, the decision basis shall "(...) contain an overview of the credit-to-GDP ratio and the extent to which it deviates from the long-term trend, as well as other indicators, and Norges Bank's assessment of systemic risk that is building up or has built up over time". In addition to the credit indicator, Norges Bank has to date placed emphasis on developments in property prices and banks' share of wholesale funding.
From the mid-1990s until 2008, total credit to households and mainland enterprises grew at a markedly faster pace than economic activity. Since the financial crisis, credit growth has slowed somewhat, and the credit indicator has remained fairly stable. Household debt ratios are high, and debt is still rising somewhat faster than disposable income.
The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) recommends the calculation of technical reference rates for the buffer. The Basel Committee has proposed a simple rule for calculating a reference rate on the basis of the credit-to-GDP ratio. The long-term trend in the credit indicator can be calculated by applying different methods. Applying the trend calculation method proposed by the Basel Committee, the reference rate is 0 percent in 2014 Q1. With an alternative trend calculation method, which has been shown to provide a better leading indicator of crises, the reference rate is ½ percent.
House price inflation has long outstripped the pace of growth in household disposable income. House prices fell in autumn 2013. In recent months, house prices have picked up again. The price indicator for commercial property is high, but has edged down over the past year. The share of wholesale funding has increased recently and is now close to the elevated level prevailing prior to the financial crisis.
The indicators of financial imbalances are at historically high levels. They are also higher than most of the estimated long-term trends. This suggests that there has been a build-up of financial imbalances that may trigger or amplify an economic downturn. Recent developments indicate that imbalances are no longer building up at present. There are signs of some easing of banks' credit standards for households. Should house prices again rise faster than household income and debt accumulation accelerate, systemic risk may increase further ahead.
At end-2013, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratios of the largest banks were 1–2 percentage points above the requirement as from 1 July of this year. Banks also posted solid first-quarter earnings.
Norges Bank gives weight to the fact that a large number of regulatory changes are being implemented simultaneously. The decision of the Ministry of Finance to designate DNB Bank and Nordea Bank Norge as systemically important banks implies a further increase in the capital requirements for these two banks in the period to 2016. The large savings banks will, nonetheless, likely also have to adapt to the highest capital adequacy requirements.
Norges Bank is of the view that the decision basis does not support a change in the buffer requirement at this time.
If there are signs that financial imbalances continue to build up, Norges Bank will issue advice to increase the buffer rate. The buffer rate should not necessarily be reduced even if there are signs that financial imbalances are receding. In long periods of low loan losses, rising asset prices and credit growth, banks should normally hold a countercyclical capital buffer. Any future advice to reduce the buffer rate will be based on an assessment of market turbulence, loss prospects for the banking sector and the risk of a credit-driven downturn in the Norwegian economy.

Spring Color Palettes: Part 1
Hello March! We are excited to be getting closer and closer to the Spring season and to launch our Spring/Summer line. Our new items will start to drop in the next few weeks.
What's the first step in developing new items? We start thinking about color inspiration as the initial step to set the mood.
This year we have three individual color palettes that can also work interchangeably.
Here's a look at color inspiration for the Sea Glass palette, a mix of earthy neutrals and blues with pops of aqua and persimmon.
Stay tuned to see the other two palettes over the next couple of weeks.
We've Launched!

How 'The Martian' Became A Science Love Story The movie about a stranded astronaut is being hailed for its scientific realism. Andy Weir, who wrote the book the film is based on, is a longtime computer programmer who sees romance in numbers.

How 'The Martian' Became A Science Love Story

Matt Damon portrays an astronaut who relies on science to survive on a hostile planet.
If you watch the film The Martian, you'll see Hollywood explosions and special effects galore, but you'll also see some serious science.
Actor Matt Damon, who plays stranded astronaut Mark Watney, must calculate his way through food shortages, Martian road trips and other misadventures as he fights to find a way off the Red Planet.
Numbers are a matter of life and death for Damon's astronaut, and in this movie they're not pulled from thin air.
"If you care to double-check the results from what you see in the film, then you'll find out it's accurate," says Andy Weir, who wrote the book on which the film is based.
The book began as a thought experiment by Weir, who is a longtime computer programmer. He began by imagining what a real mission to Mars might be like, and the potential problems the astronauts would need to plan for.
"I finally thought, 'Huh. This actually might make for a pretty interesting story,' " he says.

Weir approached his plot with the meticulous thinking of an engineer. He quickly determined that the main problem for a stranded astronaut would be food.
"We have the technology to turn carbon dioxide back into oxygen; we have the technology to take sewage and turn it back into drinkable water," Weir says. "But we don't have a technology to easily generate food. The only way to make food is to grow it."
There are no quick Hollywood fixes to the challenges faced by the astronaut castaway. He can grow potatoes the crew brought along, but he needs soil. The dirt he brings in from Mars is sterile, so he has to find fertilizer (there's only one source on Mars: himself). Then he finds a new problem: The mission brought enough water to drink, but not enough to grow crops.
Each need is based on actual calculations done by Weir. And his solutions are based in scientific fact: "My primary research tool was Google," says Weir, who used the search engine to dig up research papers and old Mars mission designs.
The novel first appeared on Weir's website — where he guesses the first draft was read by about 3,000 or so hardcore fans. These readers loved all the detail.
"These are nerds like me," he says. "These are my people. And so I was writing something for them; I was writing a story where I show my work."
Weir's supernerd readers pushed his realism even further. Whenever he made a mistake, they let him know. And because the book was initially posted online, he could easily rewrite it to make it right.
How accurate is the resulting novel?
"The Martian has almost all of its technical details correct," says Robert Zubrin, the head of The Mars Society, which advocates sending people to explore the planet. Zubrin, who has written nonfiction and fiction books about going to Mars, points out there have been many other accurate books written about missions to Mars. What makes The Martian special he says, is its simple man-versus-nature plot. "It's about one person, one human mind, one human heart," he says.
And even this story isn't perfect, adds Suzanne Smrekar, a planetary scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who is helping to put together a robotic mission to Mars. She spotted a hole in the film's plot right away: The astronaut is stranded on Mars by a powerful dust storm that separates him from his crew.
"The atmosphere of Mars is one one-hundredth the density of our own atmosphere, so it really cannot provide much of a force," she says. "That's the one big artistic license of the whole book."
Author Weir told Weekend All Things Considered that he knew dust storms on Mars wouldn't be that fierce, but he wanted a thrilling way to start his novel — so he allowed himself some literary leeway. After all, it is science fiction. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11545 | {"url": "https://www.npr.org/2015/09/30/444446982/how-the-martian-became-a-science-love-story", "partition": "head_middle",

Presidio of San Francisco
Fort Point as it appeared around the end of the Civil War.

As early as the Spanish occupation of the San Francisco Bay, the southern shore of the Golden Gate was considered strategically crucial to defending the harbor. In 1851, shortly after the American occupation, the War Department ordered the construction of casemate fortifications on either side of the Golden Gate. The fort on the southern shore was assigned the highest priority; from a military perspective, the new fort would constitute the cornerstone of San Francisco Bay defenses and—by extension—the entire Pacific coast.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began work on Fort Point in 1853. Due to the relatively short range of artillery at the time, plans specified that the lowest tier of artillery be as close as possible to water level so cannonballs could ricochet across the water's surface to hit enemy ships. To accomplish this, the ninety-foot cliff at the construction site was blasted down to a mere fifteen feet above sea level. The new structure had three tiers of casemates (vaulted rooms housing cannon), seven-foot thick walls, and a barbette tier on the roof with additional guns and a sod covering to absorb the impact of enemy cannon fire. While more than thirty such forts existed on the east coast, Fort Point was the only one of its kind on the Pacific.
With the 1861 outbreak of the Civil War, the Army mounted the first fifty-five guns at Fort Point. By October 1861, there were sixty-nine guns in and around the fort, consisting of 24, 32, and 42-pounders, as well as 8 and 10-inch Columbiads. During the Civil War, as many as five hundred men from the 3rd U.S. Artillery, the 9th U.S. Infantry, and the 8th California Volunteer Infantry were garrisoned at Fort Point. Stationed several thousand miles from the major theaters of combat, the men spent their days in a routine of drills, artillery practice, inspections, sentry duty, and maintenance chores. Enlisted men bunked twenty-four to a casemate on the third tier; officers had single or double quarters on the floor below. To supplement coal fuel, soldiers gathered driftwood from the shore for fuel. Though prepared for attack, Fort Point never fired its guns in defense during the Civil War.

After the war, the Army installed powerful 10-inch Rodman guns in the lower casemates; these could fire a 128-pound shot more than two miles. At its greatest strength, the fort mounted 102 cannon. In addition, the fort had "hotshot" furnaces, which allowed iron cannon balls to heated red hot, loaded, and fired at wooden ships to set them ablaze. Despite such technology, Fort Point never mounted the 141 cannon that its planners envisioned.
Advances in artillery during the Civil War demonstrated that brick forts similar to Fort Point—including Fort Sumter in South Carolina and Fort Pulaski in Georgia—were easily breached by rifled artillery. Soon after the war, the army reworked its coastal defense strategy and, in 1870, some of the fort's cannon were moved to East Battery. Though no longer considered the guardian of the bay, Fort Point nevertheless remained important to the army. Among other uses, Fort Point held a machine and welding shop after its closure.

Building Enduring Power to Strengthen Maine’s Environment
Nature of Maine Blog
Posted on May 31, 2022 by NRCM
People who love Maine value the state’s spectacular woods, waters, and wildlife for lots of different reasons, but they are all united by a passion for protecting our natural resources to be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
This conservation ethic is what led a group of Maine people to come together in 1959 to establish the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) to protect the Allagash River. It is what fueled our collective victories over the past 60 years. And it is what motivates us today.
Now, NRCM has made a commitment to invest resources, including additional staff capacity, to expand on our long history of partnering with people across Maine. Our goal is to deepen relationships in all 16 counties to build enduring power that will protect and strengthen Maine’s environment for this and future generations.
In this conversation, outgoing CEO Lisa Pohlmann speaks with long-time NRCM staff member Emmie Theberge, who recently assumed the new role of Outreach Director, and Marc Edwards, who was hired as our first Regional Outreach Coordinator in Franklin County. Together, they discuss this new effort and why we believe it’s so important for the future of Maine’s environment.
Lisa: Thanks for taking the time to talk with me, Emmie and Marc. I’m really excited about our conversation because this is one of those important moments for NRCM where we’re really thinking about how to engage as many people as possible to be the most effective statewide organization we can. Emmie, I’d like to start with you, tell us the big picture of how you view your new role.
Emmie: Since our founding, NRCM has relied on working together with people across the state to accomplish our shared mission of protecting the nature of Maine. We use policy, science, and the law but also use the power of Maine people to get things done.
We’ve had a strong outreach program for a long time. And there are lots of different ways NRCM can do and does do our outreach work. Where we are now as an organization, in this moment, is focusing on making sure that all our outreach and organizing work is a coordinated effort across the organization and across the state as we prioritize grassroots organizing and building relationships.
Lisa: Great, thank you so much. I’m reminded of when we worked closely with communities around Greenville and statewide to successfully defeat the massive Plum Creek development proposal in the Moosehead region. NRCM has always done outreach, and will continue to do outreach. I wonder if you have some other examples you look to that illustrate what we’re trying to do?
Emmie: The Plum Creek example is a great one. Some of our strongest campaigns are the ones where NRCM is working closely with people in the communities affected by the issue. For me, that is some of the most exciting work we do – really working side by side with people in local communities.

One other example that is dear to my heart is working with residents in South Portland for a number of years to defeat a tar sands oil export terminal that would have caused a lot of air pollution in their community. I was in awe of the work that they did as a local group to inform their neighbors and get them to turn out to meetings and use their collective voice, while teaming up with organizations like NRCM and other partners to raise awareness statewide and make a difference. I have a lot of friendships that came out of that work.
NRCM has a long history of that. The Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument is another good example of many years of work alongside people in the Millinocket region to make sure that what was established there worked for that community and would provide value to the people who call it home in addition to protecting an important part of the state.
Or the work our Sustainable Maine team has done with towns to pass ordinances on single-use plastic bags and polystyrene foam, and then seeing that come together to be a statewide policy because of all of that work done locally.
So, there are lots of examples from the past six decades of work NRCM has done. For me such an important part of NRCM’s history is collective action by people who care about Maine.
Lisa: Yes, absolutely. I often say that the thing that makes NRCM so unique and powerful is the combination of our policy experts and the outreach we do with our members and supporters. I know one of the shifts moving forward will be a focus on deep organizing. Emmie, what does “deep organizing” mean to you, and how will that be a little different than what we’ve done before?
Emmie: For me, the concept of deep organizing really means building relationships for the long-term beyond a campaign or legislative cycle. Really listening to concerns people have in communities to understand better the issues they’re seeing on the ground and how that aligns with NRCM’s mission and what we’re trying to do. It also means working to develop activist leaders within the community by helping foster advocacy and leadership skills.
This type of organizing work is something I’m really excited about in Marc’s position — having this focus on connecting with people where they live. And developing relationships and listening to people and the issues they care about.

Lisa: So let’s turn to Marc now. Thank you so much for being with us and thank you for saying yes to this brand new job. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you see your role as?
Marc: I would say that for the last 25 years or so, natural resources have been really central to my work, and I’ve always tried to have connections between my personal passions and my professional work.
This position is no different. I’m really passionate about where I live. I’ve been in Franklin County now for about 15 years. Just about half of that, I was in the role of tourism and economic development with UMaine Cooperative Extension. I got to really know the cultural landscape of Franklin County with respect to nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation.
One example is the research we did on brook trout anglers coming to Maine. We were looking at what experiences these anglers were looking for and how they engaged with those experiences. Some of that work informed Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and how it managed those resources for those experiences.
Emmie hit the nail on the head when she said this role is relationship building. Right now, it is largely listening. I was really struck with the discussion you and Emmie had on deep organizing. The idea of building relationships over the long term is something I see as central to this role.
As an example, I have an upcoming meeting with someone I’ve known in the community for years. Our kids played soccer together and so on. This individual has been on the opposite side from NRCM on a couple of current issues in the region. I mentioned to someone else that I would be meeting with this person and they said, “Why are you meeting with him? What can you get out of it?” And my response was that I’m building a relationship because you never know when our priorities will align and we can work together to accomplish great things.
Even with some of my dear friends in Strong where I live, we don’t agree on everything, but we can still go down and have breakfast at the White Elephant and talk about things.
Lisa: I love that you are listening and getting to know people. I think that’s just fantastic.
Marc: And kudos to NRCM for this position. There are several people I’ve talked to who are thrilled NRCM is present in their community and present in this way. Everyone seems to be really excited we’re here in such a meaningful way.
Lisa: What are you learning about potential pitfalls for you as time goes on?
Marc: Well, I’ve learned this throughout my career but listening first before I open my mouth is going to be key. One of the things I’m learning as I get out there and talk to more and more folks is that everyone here cares deeply about the natural resources. Franklin County is just an incredible, beautiful part of the world. All of our lives are inextricably linked to these resources, but what I’m learning is how we conserve and how we care for those resources are a little more nuanced.
Lisa: I want to switch back to Emmie because Marc is part of a larger outreach team. As we thought about expanding our outreach, we also focused on expanding our work with young people and reaching people where they are, and that includes online. Can you talk a little bit more about both those efforts?

Emmie: Sure. There’s also a lot of outreach work we do related to our advocacy program areas, and want to mention Josh Caldwell and Vanessa Berry who are outreach coordinators for our Climate & Clean Energy and Sustainable Maine programs. And we’ve already talked about our Franklin County outreach led by Marc. In addition to all that, we have two other ways we’re expanding NRCM’s outreach work.
I’ll talk first about NRCM Rising, which is led by Todd Martin. We launched NRCM Rising in 2014 to connect with people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s statewide. NRCM Rising has a dedicated Leadership Team and organizes events to meet with and connect young people to each other, to our staff and our work, and to elected officials. It’s also about providing programming for young people to develop their leadership and advocacy skills. NRCM Rising is really exciting because together, along with so much great youth-led environmental organizing work that is happening in Maine, we can support the next generation of environmental leaders.
Next, Kristin Jackson has been building out our digital outreach for just over a year. The pandemic really pushed NRCM and other organizations more into online organizing. We’re realizing there are a lot more tools for engaging people virtually than maybe we had in the past. We have 25,000 members and supporters statewide and in every single legislative district. NRCM truly is a statewide advocacy organization, so having this digital outreach program enables us to engage with that membership statewide in a more meaningful way.
Lisa: I can tell you’re excited about this. I wonder what excites you the most about all of these things?
Emmie: I’m excited about all of it. I feel really proud that NRCM is taking this step to engage more deeply with people across Maine. To develop meaningful relationships. To work closely with highly engaged activist leaders. To bridge differences. To find common values. We know that people in Maine really value clean water, clean air, and the special places that make Maine, Maine.
Having this focus of engaging with people statewide is really inspiring and definitely gives me energy. It’s always been the part of our work that for me personally really lights me up, and I’m glad to be doing it full time.
Lisa: Well, thank you so much to both of you for meeting with me and having this conversation. I’m very excited to get this off the ground. It’s a wonderful thing.

It is very encouraging not only to see such a forward looking vision guiding NRMC’s future, but also to have such terrific and committed people implementing that vision. I welcome the “listen first” strategy that is so rare in today’s political climate and in my opinion so necessary for making progress on managing the long-term risks that threaten our state’s environment and the well-being that depends upon it. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11547 | {"url": "https://www.nrcm.org/blog/building-enduring-power-to-strengthen-maines-environment/", "partition":

Empowering communities to make their own difference
HomeNews & BlogsEmpowering communities to make their own difference
The following was posted on Sightsavers.org in 2012
Picture the scene. There’s a knock at the door - it’s your neighbour. He’s holding a long colourfully painted stick and a notebook and he’s asking you to stand still while he measures you so he can give you the correct dose of a drug he’s carrying. Would you take it?
Now picture the scene again. The same has happened but you’re standing in a village in West Africa. Two fifths of your community are suffering from an itchy skin condition that they developed after being bitten by the small black flies that breed in the rivers near where you live. For some, the infection has affected their sight. Some of them have been blinded by the disease. You know that if you get bitten, you could eventually end up blind like them and your children might have to drop out of school to care for you. You’ve also been considering abandoning your farm and leaving your home village to find a place where collecting water isn’t so risky. But now your neighbour is telling you if you just take his free treatment, you’ll be fine. What would you do now?
This situation is not fiction. 102 million people are at high risk of river blindness in Africa. are at risk from onchocerciasis - or river blindness - with 99 per cent of cases in Africa. More than 300,000 people have already gone blind and about 37 million more people are infected with the disease. But thanks to a community-focused model to combat the disease, over 90 million people have received a life-changing drug that prevents blindness over the past 25 years. And what’s more, that model is now being extended to provide treatment to people in the poorest countries for other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). As a research paper recently commissioned by Sightsavers has shown, the neighbour with the stick is key to this success.
We’ve been working in Africa to combat river blindness and other NTDs for the past 60 years. The real breakthrough came in 1987, when the treatment Mectizan® (ivermectin*) was donated for mass distribution by global pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Inc. (known as MSD in the UK). The drug was much needed but it is only one element of a programme that has led to more than 800 million doses being distributed.
By working with local community volunteers, Sightsavers and other non-governmental development organisations (NGDOs) have encouraged affected communities to manage their own treatment programmes. Since there is no one-dose solution to river blindness, we needed to establish programmes that could be sustained for 20 years or more - especially if we are to eventually wipe out river blindness for good. The evidence is now coming in to show that through sustained treatment we are not merely controlling the disease but are interrupting its transmission.
Over the years, the Community-Directed Treatment with Ivermectin (CDTI) model, as it came to be known, showed it could solve many of the problems that hampered traditional health-worker distribution programmes. Distributors from within the community knew, for example, when to target people, and didn’t knock on doors during harvest time, working hours or when the whole village was at a funeral. Volunteers explained that the drugs were not birth control treatments, or other things the community may have been suspicious about, and they were trusted. The system of recording dosages was designed for people without high levels of literacy and calculating dosages of tablets was made easy with coloured height poles, so community members could do their job with confidence. The volunteers received training and refresher training and were supervised and monitored by health workers from nearby health facilities
Through the CDTI model, river blindness endemicity has now been reduced in over 25 countries. In Mali, for example, elimination of river blindness is now a possibility. In Nigeria,river blindness transmission may have already been stopped in the state of Kaduna. Other countries and projects are close too. But beyond this, following the community-directed model has enabled us to reach people suffering from other diseases. The volunteers deliver vitamin A to infants, albendazole to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (or elephantiasis), praziquantel for the control of schistosomiasis, home malaria treatment, distribution of drugs to eliminate blinding trachoma and they assist with cataract referrals - all to help wipe out some of the world’s most debilitating NTDs and other diseases.
Our 25 years of Mectizan®distribution and partnership with community members has shown us the way forward. Last year alone we at Sightsavers trained over 146,500 village-level volunteers in 14 countries, meaning that over 24 million people were treated for river blindness in 2011. Sightsavers NTD programmes also treated other NTDs, with 50 million doses distributed throughout Africa last year.
With the potential to save millions more from what is the world’s second-leading preventable cause of blindness, Sightsavers is committed to continuing and expand this community-embedded programme. Earlier this year we pledged to eliminate the infection and transmission of river blindness in all the countries we support by 2021. It only costs 7p (11 cents) for Sightsavers to prevent someone from going blind from river blindness for a whole year using community distributors - that’s a tiny price for an incredible result. And with the community on board river blindness is not the only NTD we can take on!

Biden OKs Alaska oil project, draws ire of environmentalists
by: MATTHEW DALY and CHRIS MEGERIAN, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Monday it is approving a huge oil-drilling project on Alaska’s petroleum-rich North Slope, a major environmental decision by President Joe Biden that drew quick condemnation as flying in the face of his pledges to slow climate change.
The announcement came a day after the administration, in a move in the other direction toward conservation, said it would bar or limit drilling in some other areas of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.
The approval of ConocoPhillips’ big Willow drilling project by the Bureau of Land Management will allow three drill sites including up to 199 total wells. Two other drill sites proposed for the project will be denied. ConocoPhillips Chairman and CEO Ryan Lance called the order “the right decision for Alaska and our nation.”
The Houston-based company will relinquish rights to about 68,000 acres of existing leases in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
The order, one of the most significant of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s tenure, was not signed by her but rather by her deputy, Tommy Beaudreau, who grew up in Alaska and briefed state lawmakers on the project Monday. Haaland was notably silent on the project, which she had opposed as a New Mexico congresswoman before becoming Interior secretary two years ago, until releasing a video Monday evening.
She described Willow as “a difficult and complex issue that was inherited” from earlier administrations. Because ConocoPhillips has held leases in the area for decades, Haaland said officials “had limited decision space” to block the project but focused on minimizing its footprint.
Haaland defended the Biden administration’s record on climate change, saying, “I am confident that we are on the right path, even if it’s not always a straight line.”
Climate activists remained outraged that Biden approved the project, which they say puts his climate legacy at risk. Allowing the drilling plan to go forward marks a major breach of Biden’s campaign promise to stop new oil drilling on federal lands, they say.
Monday’s announcement is not likely to be the last word, with litigation expected from environmental groups.
The Willow project could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, create up to 2,500 jobs during construction and 300 long-term jobs, and generate billions of dollars in royalties and tax revenues for the federal, state and local governments, the company said.
The project, located in the federally designated National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, enjoys widespread political support in the state. Alaska’s bipartisan congressional delegation met with Biden and his advisers in early March to plead their case for the project, and Alaska Native state lawmakers recently met with Haaland to urge support.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said Monday the decision was “very good news for the country.”
“Not only will this mean jobs and revenue for Alaska, it will be resources that are needed for the country and for our friends and allies,” Murkowski said. “The administration listened to Alaska voices. They listened to the delegation as we pressed the case for energy security and national security.”
Fellow Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan said conditions attached to the project should not reduce Willow’s ability to produce up to 180,000 barrels of crude a day. But he said it was “infuriating” that Biden also had moved to prevent or limit oil drilling elsewhere in Alaska.
Environmental activists who have promoted a #StopWillow campaign on social media were fuming at the approval, which they called a betrayal.
“This decision greenlights 92% of proposed oil drilling (by ConocoPhllips) and hands over one the most fragile, intact ecosystems in the world to” the oil giant, said Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen. “This is not climate leadership.”
Biden understands the existential threat of climate change, “but he is approving a project that derails his own climate goals,” said Dillen, whose group vowed legal action to block the project.
John Leshy, who was a top Interior Department lawyer in the Clinton administration, said Biden’s climate goals aren’t the only factor in an environmental review process that agencies must follow.
Leshy, a professor at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, called the decision on Willow defensible, adding: “I think it reflects a balancing of the things they have to balance, which is the environmental impact and the lease rights that Conoco has.”
Christy Goldfuss, a former Obama White House official who now is a policy chief at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said she was “deeply disappointed” at Biden’s decision to approve Willow, which the BLM estimates would produce more than 239 million metric tons of greenhouse gases over the project’s 30-year life, roughly equal to the combined emissions from 1.7 million passenger cars.
“This decision is bad for the climate, bad for the environment and bad for the Native Alaska communities who oppose this and feel their voices were not heard,” Goldfuss said.
The Willow project has been a particularly galvanizing issue for young activists, who flooded TikTok with videos opposing the proposal.
Biden has not commented publicly on the project’s approval. However, he talked about climate change with Kal Penn, an actor who served in the White House under President Barack Obama, in an interview that was taped last week and will be aired Monday evening on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
“We’re going faster than anyone has ever gone,” Biden said when asked about young people who want him to push harder. He said the energy situation “got really complicated” with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, adding that “we’re going to need fossil fuel.”
“So it’s a matter of transitioning, but it’s not like you can cut everything off immediately,” Biden said.
Anticipating anger among environmental groups, the White House announced Sunday that Biden will prevent or limit oil drilling in 16 million acres in Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. The plan would bar drilling in nearly 3 million acres of the Beaufort Sea — closing it off from oil exploration — and limit drilling in more than 13 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve.
The withdrawal of the offshore area ensures that important habitat for whales, seals, polar bears and other wildlife “will be protected in perpetuity from extractive development,″ the White House said in a statement.
The conservation announcement did little to mollify activists.
“It’s a performative action to make the Willow project not look as bad,” said Elise Joshi, the acting executive director of Gen-Z for Change, an advocacy organization.
City of Nuiqsut Mayor Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, whose community of about 525 people is closest to the proposed development, has been outspoken in her opposition, worried about impacts to caribou and her residents’ subsistence lifestyles. “My constituents and community will bear the burden of this project with our health and our livelihoods,” she said.
But there is “majority consensus” in the North Slope region supporting the project, said Nagruk Harcharek, president of the group Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat, whose members include leaders from across much of that region.
The conservation actions announced Sunday block drilling in the Beaufort Sea and build on President Barack Obama’s actions to restrict drilling there and in the Chukchi Sea.
Separately, the administration moved to protect more than 13 million acres within the petroleum reserve, a 23-million acre chunk of land on Alaska’s North Slope set aside a century ago for future oil production. Areas to be protected include the Teshekpuk Lake, Utukok Uplands, Colville River, Kasegaluk Lagoon and Peard Bay Special Areas, which serve as habitat for grizzly and polar bears, caribou and migratory birds.

UN official says world body committed to Cyprus peace deal
by: MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS, Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — The United Nations remains committed to helping rival Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots reach an agreement remedying the island nation’s ethnic cleave that has been the source of instability in the east Mediterranean for decades, a senior U.N. official said Wednesday.
U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo said that she reiterated to new Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides the “commitment of the Secretary-General to supporting a resolution on the Cyprus issue.”
She is scheduled to speak with Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar later in the day as well as addressing peace activists in the U.N. controlled buffer zone that divides the capital Nicosia.
The U.N. has been facilitating numerous failed rounds of talks between the two sides since 1974 when a Turkish invasion triggered by a coup aimed at a union with Greece split the island into a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north and a Greek Cypriot south where the island’s internationally recognized government is seated.
A peace deal in Cyprus that is home to a key U.K. air base and a listening post would be seen as removing a political thorn vexing the international community for decades at a time when Russia’s war in Ukraine brought instability to the globe.
Moreover, a deal could expedite the development of sizable natural gas deposits off Cyprus’ southern shores amid Europe’s energy crunch and help smooth the rocky relationship between NATO allies Greece and Turkey.
Christodoulides has said that his new administration’s top priority remains a deal reunifying Cyprus as a federation and is keen to get the ball rolling on resuming the process that has been stalemated since the last round of talks in 2017.
But one of the main obstacles to getting back to the negotiating table is an about-face by Turkey and the minority Turkish Cypriots regarding the agreed-upon shape of a deal after the most recent failed push for peace at a Swiss resort in the summer of 2017.
There had been a long-held understanding that any deal would reunify Cyprus as a federation made up of a Turkish-speaking zone in the north and a Greek speaking zone in the south. But Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots are now seeking a two-state deal that recognizes separate Turkish Cypriot sovereignty, something that Greek Cypriots reject out of hand. It has also been shunned by the European Union, the United Nations, the U.S. and other countries.
It’s unlikely that formal talks could resume before Turkey’s May 14 election, but Cyprus government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said the Greek Cypriot side is ready for an immediate restart of negotiations “and we expect Mr. Tatar to sit at the negotiating table with a sincere willingness to achieve” a federation-based agreement.
Letymbiotis also reiterated Christodoulides’ aim for the EU’s more active engagement in peace talks through the appointment of a senior official. Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots accuse the EU of not being even-handed because although Cyprus is a bloc member, only the south enjoys full benefits.
“We mustn’t view this proposal as having a detrimental contribution, but as contributing very positively to cultivating the necessary climate” for a resumption of peace talks, Letymbiotis said. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11553 | {"url": "https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/international/ap-international/un-official-says-world-body-committed-to-cyprus-peace-deal/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.nwahomepage.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:17:14Z", "digest": "sha1:ULRBXET46XC36KS6Y7VHFWKZIN4A24DQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3390, 3390.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3390, 10120.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3390, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3390, 292.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3390, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3390, 309.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3390, 0.39274448]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3390, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3390, 0.0192995]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3390, 0.01072194]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3390, 0.01286633]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3390, 0.01000715]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3390, 0.03312303]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3390, 0.11514196]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3390, 0.53049908]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3390, 5.17190388]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3390, 5.0987272]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3390, 541.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 102, 0.0], [102, 396, 1.0], [396, 644, 1.0], [644, 834, 1.0], [834, 1153, 1.0], [1153, 1397, 1.0], [1397, 1611, 1.0], [1611, 1852, 1.0], [1852, 2111, 1.0], [2111, 2562, 1.0], [2562, 2901, 1.0], [2901, 3197, 1.0], [3197, 3390, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 102, 0.0], [102, 396, 0.0], [396, 644, 0.0], [644, 834, 0.0], [834, 1153, 0.0], [1153, 1397, 0.0], [1397, 1611, 0.0], [1611, 1852, 0.0], [1852, 2111, 0.0], [2111, 2562, 0.0], [2562, 2901, 0.0], [2901, 3197, 0.0], [3197, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 59, 10.0], [59, 102, 5.0], [102, 396, 45.0], [396, 644, 32.0], [644, 834, 32.0], [834, 1153, 52.0], [1153, 1397, 45.0], [1397, 1611, 32.0], [1611, 1852, 41.0], [1852, 2111, 47.0], [2111, 2562, 75.0], [2562, 2901, 51.0], [2901, 3197, 46.0], [3197, 3390, 28.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 102, 0.0], [102, 396, 0.0], [396, 644, 0.0], [644, 834, 0.0], [834, 1153, 0.01269841], [1153, 1397, 0.0], [1397, 1611, 0.0], [1611, 1852, 0.0167364], [1852, 2111, 0.01568627], [2111, 2562, 0.0], [2562, 2901, 0.00598802], [2901, 3197, 0.0], [3197, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 102, 0.0], [102, 396, 0.0], [396, 644, 0.0], [644, 834, 0.0], [834, 1153, 0.0], [1153, 1397, 0.0], [1397, 1611, 0.0], [1611, 1852, 0.0], [1852, 2111, 0.0], [2111, 2562, 0.0], [2562, 2901, 0.0], [2901, 3197, 0.0], [3197, 3390, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 59, 0.05084746], [59, 102, 0.48837209], [102, 396, 0.07142857], [396, 644, 0.07258065], [644, 834, 0.04210526], [834, 1153, 0.02821317], [1153, 1397, 0.02459016], [1397, 1611, 0.04205607], [1611, 1852, 0.00829876], [1852, 2111, 0.01930502], [2111, 2562, 0.0421286], [2562, 2901, 0.02949853], [2901, 3197, 0.03378378], [3197, 3390, 0.01036269]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3390, 0.89319807]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3390, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3390, 0.95452261]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3390, -124.64098699]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3390, 108.25695382]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3390, 2.12121474]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3390, 28.0]]} |

Courses in agricultural medicine, both for health officials and for agricultural officials, should feature in the curricula of educational establishments. However, because of the almost complete lack of such courses in these establishments at present, some post-university or recurrent education or training should be provided.
Education is apt to become sterile if it is not activated with the catalyst of practical experience. Congresses are a valuable means of educational regeneration. They should be organised at the regional, national and international levels. They may be confined to a single subject or cover a number of subjects. Everyone who might be interested (and not merely doctors) should participate. The expression of opposing points of view often leads to fruitful exchanges of information and the clarification of obscure ideas, or to the initiation of research and investigation into hitherto unexplored areas. Comparisons between regional and national experience are equally beneficial. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11554 | {"url": "https://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/library?e=d-00000-00---off-0cdl--00-0----0-10-0---0---0direct-10---4-------0-0l--11-en-50---20-about---00-0-1-00-0-0-11----0-1-&a=d&c=cdl&cl=CL1.112&d=HASH2af972bd68a2a8ac71b4ad.9.4.5", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.nzdl.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:26:16Z", "digest": "sha1:2GWAXF7YF6LRM5G7YZNEP5KQWTBU3BYW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1422, 1422.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1422, 1757.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1422, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1422, 17.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1422, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1422, 335.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1422, 0.33716475]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1422, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1422, 0.01538462]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1422, 0.02735043]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1422, 0.03076923]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1422, 0.02298851]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1422, 0.23754789]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1422, 0.61352657]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1422, 5.65217391]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1422, 0.00383142]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1422, 4.52141223]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1422, 207.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 38, 0.0], [38, 107, 0.0], [107, 203, 0.0], [203, 293, 0.0], [293, 311, 0.0], [311, 328, 0.0], [328, 344, 0.0], [344, 364, 0.0], [364, 386, 0.0], [386, 415, 0.0], [415, 743, 1.0], [743, 1422, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 38, 0.0], [38, 107, 0.0], [107, 203, 0.0], [203, 293, 0.0], [293, 311, 0.0], [311, 328, 0.0], [328, 344, 0.0], [344, 364, 0.0], [364, 386, 0.0], [386, 415, 0.0], [415, 743, 0.0], [743, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 22, 3.0], [22, 38, 2.0], [38, 107, 12.0], [107, 203, 13.0], [203, 293, 13.0], [293, 311, 1.0], [311, 328, 2.0], [328, 344, 2.0], [344, 364, 4.0], [364, 386, 4.0], [386, 415, 4.0], [415, 743, 45.0], [743, 1422, 102.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 38, 0.0], [38, 107, 0.11111111], [107, 203, 0.0106383], [203, 293, 0.02298851], [293, 311, 0.0], [311, 328, 0.23076923], [328, 344, 0.25], [344, 364, 0.1875], [364, 386, 0.16666667], [386, 415, 0.12], [415, 743, 0.0], [743, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 38, 0.0], [38, 107, 0.0], [107, 203, 0.0], [203, 293, 0.0], [293, 311, 0.0], [311, 328, 0.0], [328, 344, 0.0], [344, 364, 0.0], [364, 386, 0.0], [386, 415, 0.0], [415, 743, 0.0], [743, 1422, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.86363636], [22, 38, 0.875], [38, 107, 0.11594203], [107, 203, 0.01041667], [203, 293, 0.01111111], [293, 311, 0.0], [311, 328, 0.05882353], [328, 344, 0.0625], [344, 364, 0.05], [364, 386, 0.04545455], [386, 415, 0.03448276], [415, 743, 0.00609756], [743, 1422, 0.01030928]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1422, 0.15550685]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1422, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1422, 0.10245615]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1422, -94.00638779]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1422, -16.51698146]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1422, -7.57831248]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1422, 29.0]]} |

Tracing Your Tree: Family History Research Made Easy
If you own a rental property and want to find and retain good tenants, you must know how to make your single-property or multiplex units more attractive in the rental marketplace. Depending on the dynamics of your area, tenants may have many options. So, they won’t have to settle for units that are subpar or otherwise undesirable.
Do you want to learn how to make your rental property stand out in a good way? Keep reading to see five ways you can up the oomph factor and increase the desirability of your rental real estate.
1. Ensure Units Offer What People Want
When preparing your rental units for the market, you need to understand the market. If you have, say, two single-family homes for rent, take time to figure out what renters expect in their rental units. If single-family residences in your area usually come with stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, central air conditioning, and other things, you must be able to compete. Do your research to ensure your units offer what renters want and expect.
2. Landscaping Matters
The landscaping services segment was worth $129 billion last year. According to one source, between 2017 and 2022, the landscaping industry grew an average of 5.3% annually. If you want your rental property to be attractive to tenants, you need to invest in landscaping.
Curb appeal isn’t just a buzzword. It refers to how people react when viewing the exterior of your rental property. Is the lawn nicely cut? Are the shrubs and branches appropriately trimmed? Maintaining the property’s exterior is one way to attract and retain good tenants. Who doesn’t want to live somewhere where the landlord prioritizes the upkeep of the property?
3. Prioritize Customer Service
Customer service has to be a priority. Your tenants will want responsiveness. You need to be there to answer their questions and resolve their issues. And if you want good tenants to renew their leases, you must let them know you respect them. When people pay their rent on time and take care of their rental units, they deserve good customer service. Maintaining cheerful landlord-tenant relationships will be a win-win for both sides.
4. A Coat of Paint
One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve your rental unit is to paint it. A few coats of premium paint will transform any room in your rental property and make it more inviting. It might be just what your property needs to appeal to tenants. It’s the sort of project you can tackle yourself or get someone else to do for you. While you can paint it whatever color you want, choosing a neutral color will appeal to a wider cross-section of renters.
5. Fix What Needs Fixing
If there are things that need to be fixed, don’t ignore them. Fix them, and do it right. If there’s a leaky faucet, loose doorknobs, cracked floor tiles, missing drawer pulls, or other problems, fix them pronto. Many of the fixes will cost little to nothing, and they won’t take much time to complete. You want to ensure your rental property is in a good state of repair. So, it’s essential that you’re responsive if tenants let you know about anything in their units that require fixing.
Do you want to make your rental property as attractive as possible? Keep these five suggestions in mind. Maintaining an investment property is not for the faint of heart. It’ll take a lot of time and effort. That’s one reason why some people hire property management companies to help them. A property manager can assist with the above five tips and much more. It pays to look into it.

Beautiful Creatures Movie Preview Party
on January 20, 2013 with 0 comments by Nikka Shae
BEAUTIFUL CREATURES opens in theaters Wednesday, February 13th!
Watch the official trailer:
A supernatural love story set in the South, “Beautiful Creatures” tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena (Alice Englert), a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.
Oscar® nominee Richard LaGravenese (“The Fisher King,”“P.S. I Love You”) directs from his adaptation of the first novel in the best-selling series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich (“Tetro”), newcomer Alice Englert, Academy Award® winner Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) Oscar® nominee Viola Davis (“The Help,” “Doubt”), Emmy Rossum (TV’s “Shameless”), Thomas Mann (“Project X”) and Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson (“Howard’s End,” “Sense and Sensibility”).
THOMAS MANN (Link) was most recently seen as Ben, the young protégé of Jeremy Renner’s character, Hansel, in Tommy Wirkola’s action thriller “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,” also starring Gemma Arterton, released in January.
Last fall, Mann starred opposite Victoria Justice and Jane Levy in Josh Schwartz’s directorial debut, “Fun Size.” Earlier that year he starred in “Project X,” the hit comedy produced by Todd Phillips about a group of friends throwing an epic house party.
Born and raised in Texas, Mann landed a breakthrough supporting role shortly after moving to Los Angeles in the 2010 independent comedy “It’s Kind of a Funny Story,” alongside Zach Galifianakis, Lauren Graham, Keir Gilchrist and Zoë Kravitz. He then went on to appear in Max Meyer’s independent feature based on Pete Fromm’s novel “As Cool as I Am,” opposite Sarah Bolger, Claire Danes and James Marsden.
ZOEY DEUTCH (Emily Asher) comes from a showbiz family of musicians and actors going back two generations. Growing up in Los Angeles, her parents (actress Lea Thompson and director Howard Deutch) knew acting was in the genes when Zoey would play out scenes with her dolls, and weep for the Barbie that was down on her luck. This kind of dedication showed up a few years later, when she began landing comedic and dramatic roles in both film and television at the ripe age of 15.
Deutch was a serious dancer as a child excelling in ballet, competitive jazz, and tap. She was a double major in both theatre and visual arts at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, while simultaneously studying at the Young Actors Space with Patrick Day.
Her first leading role was in the indie flick, “Mayor Cupcake,” playing real life mom Lea Thompson’s daughter, a small town girl with big time political aspirations. Shortly thereafter, Deutch was cast in the Disney Channel’s “Suite Life on Deck” series, playing Zach’s love interest Maya and charming dedicated fans of the show all over the world. She guest starred on two hit shows, “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior” and “NCIS,” which lead to her landing the role of Willow Turner in the coveted Marc Cherry pilot “Hallelujah.” She was then cast as troubled stepdaughter Juliet Martin, in the CW’s “Ringer,” starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. The show became one of the network’s biggest hits.
Deutch is a supporter of the Corazon De Vida Orphanage in Tijuana, and has performed for The Alzheimer’s Association, What A Pair, and Race to Erase MS benefits. When she’s not working, you can find her posing for Instagram photos with the love of her life: an orange Maine Coon cat named Stinky Pete, and/or taping photo booth videos for her sister as her Ukrainian alter ego.

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Emerging Treatment Options : Episode 9
Safety and Efficacy of CAR T Therapy in R/R DLBCL
Andre Goy, MD, MS: When we meet a patient who typically got the product axi-cel [axicabtagene ciloleucel] from the ZUMA-1 data…when we tried to do it commercially, because Medicare’s reimbursement has some issues. But typically, they have fevers within 24 hours to 48 hours, so that makes it difficult to have a...in our patient. The Kymriah [tisagenlecleucel] product is a little bit delayed, so it sometimes is a bit easier, and then a lower fraction of patients gets mediated.
But what is impressive is that although the toxicity is somewhat dramatic, it is manageable, and the toxicity is reversible, patients recover. I remember a patient when I was on call a few months ago, a patient on a Friday night was on day 4 or day 5 of the axicabtagene ciloleucel. They had extensive disease, came from Carolina, and had fever. That was expected, right? The next day she was intubated and then obviously in the ICU [intensive care unit]. It lasted 24 hours. She had some…because of toxicity. She recovered, and she has been at least 6 months out now. We see some amazing responses. What we are missing in the CAR [chimeric antigen receptor] T-cell therapy is—obviously the next third-generation and fourth-generation of CAR T and other therapies we’ll talk about in a minute—is also having good biomarkers that identify who’s going to have a clinical benefit.
This is because we know, and I think we should touch upon this, that it is so exciting and generates a lot of interest among physicians, providers, and patients, and their families. But when patients fail CAR T-cell, the situation is very difficult, right? Before we go into the next generation of CAR T and how to overcome that, how do we manage a patient who failed CAR T-cell, Peter?
Peter Martin, MD: The question was partially addressed at ASH [the American Society of Hematology 2018 annual meeting] when we saw a presentation looking at outcomes post CAR T-cells, suggesting, as you’d expect, that if somebody does not respond to a very good therapy, that they typically have a lymphoma that is not likely to do very well with standard chemotherapy or simple CAR T-cells. There have been reports of people having responses to additional doses of CAR T-cells in some clinical trials. There have been reports of people having responses to some chemotherapy, granted short duration. I think we’ll talk a little bit later about bispecific antibodies, which I think have potential promise. In general, at our institution, that’s been our bias, to look for bispecific antibody clinical trials, and we’ve had them available or elsewhere.
Andre Goy, MD, MS: So far this has been the only therapy that has improved some patients with some durability.
Peter Martin, MD: There was originally some thought that the immune checkpoint inhibitors might have the ability to pull some people back. In my anecdotal experience, I have not been particularly impressed with that strategy.
Andre Goy, MD, MS: We have a handful of patients who relapsed, did well, and relapsed 3 months later and had rapidly growing mass. So 2 or 3 patients, we gave them low-dose radiation for the abscopal effect with a checkpoint inhibitor. Two or 3 of them have been in sustained radiation. I think this is really interesting that the checkpoint inhibitor seems very logical because we know that the PD-1 [programmed cell death protein 1], PD-L1 [programmed death-ligand 1] matters obviously in that setting. But we don’t have a lot of great data. There are trials that are ongoing. There was the ZUMA-6 that was looking at combination with anti—PD-L1, atezolizumab, and then showing that you have probably higher amplification of durability of the CAR T. But I agree with you, there is an opportunity, and I think the data that are most impressive in prediction, at the 2019 ASH meeting already presented before, was the day 28 MRD [minimal residual disease]-negative. It’s very impressive. Even patients who do not have a great response clinically do very well, so I think there’s opportunity to do something there.
Let’s talk about what’s the next step in CAR T, and how we can improve it. I heard there are 7500 trials on cell therapy in the United States alone. I don’t know how many globally, worldwide, but that’s definitely a field that has momentum. There’s a third generation and fourth generation…. What do you think is promising, Grzeg, in that field?
Grzegorz S. Nowakowski, MD: I think if you look at this, one is to add something to the existing products, and this would be PD-1 antibodies. People are also studying IMiDs [immunomodulatory imide drugs] and other targeted therapies in this setting. There’s a good rationale to combine it, and we’ll see what’s going to happen to those. The other compound that you could add to CAR T-cell therapy is bispecific antibodies, up front is where they are being used. You have to be careful about toxicity there, but if you think about this...is very appealing, particularly the bispecific antibody that targets CD3 and CD20, which is not a target of approved CAR T-cells….
Andre Goy, MD, MS: That would make it a...CAR T.
Grzegorz S. Nowakowski, MD: Exactly. It brings the CAR T-cells and links it even more to the tumor cells, so those strategies look extremely attractive, and I think we’ll be watching those very closely. As you mentioned, modifying the product itself while having 2 targets is definitely very appealing as well. This is because we know that some of the patients who relapse particularly late after CAR T-cells may actually be CD19 negative, and that’s one of the mechanisms of escape. For some of the patients with early relapses though, CD19 appears to be still present on the cells. So those are the candidates which might be working an existing CAR T-cell clone, which has this therapy, rather than looking for additional targets.
Andre Goy, MD, MS: When you look at the durability of response and when you talk to patients, they ask how we predict, and obviously we don’t have a good way. They ask the question, “Do we need a CAR T that persists over time?” I know there’s a lot of discussion about this. It is controversial and debated. But I am not a believer that we need to necessarily have the CAR T detectable for long response. We have about 30% of patients in ZUMA-1 who have had long response and didn’t have any detectable CAR-T. I really believe that what matters is the early amplification, and that’s what really does the trick.
Grzegorz S. Nowakowski, MD: I probably agree with you, but I’ll tell you for sure in 5 years.
Andre Goy, MD, MS: Nathan, what do you think?
Nathan H. Fowler, MD: It’s interesting. We’ve also seen some studies that I think were presented in 2018 that looked at the rate of expansion. It looks like patients who had a rapid expansion, although they achieved remission, some of those patients were more likely to relapse early. That was also correlated with bulk. Whether this is a correlation or causal is unknown. But patients with bulky disease expanded rapidly, but then the thought is that they develop T-cell exhaustion. Those are the patients who progress. I looked at that early steroid data, and it looked like some of the responses—again, this is extrapolating—it looked better than what we had seen. Actually, the response rate was extremely high. I want to say the durable CR [complete response] rate was in the 50% range and wondered maybe what they’re doing is slowing expansion down a little bit and maybe helping some of these CAR T-cells perhaps persist long term.
Andre Goy, MD, MS: Take a deep breath.
Grzegorz S. Nowakowski, MD: Yes, take a deep breath and maybe not get quite as exhausted. I totally agree with you that unlike maybe some of the acute leukemia trials, the first 3 months is essential. We’ve seen that again and again that the patients who are achieving early CRs and CRs that are especially still there at 6 months are the ones who do well. You don’t see anybody who eventually gets into remission at 12 months. It’s either going to happen early, or it’s not going to happen at all in most of these patients.

Vancouver Opens New Housing For Homeless Youth, Teens Aging Out Of Foster Care
By Molly Solomon (OPB)
Vancouver, Wash. Aug. 20, 2019 2:30 p.m.
On Monday, Vancouver and Washington state officials gathered alongside community members to celebrate the grand opening of Caples Terrace, a new public housing project offering affordable units to young adults who have aged out of foster care or fallen into homelessness.
Christina LaCelle, 20, could barely contain her excitement. She and her 3-month-old daughter Vivianne were just weeks away from moving into their very first apartment at the new complex.

“I could cry I’m so excited and really grateful for all of this,” LaCelle said.
LaCelle spent most of her childhood bouncing between different foster homes in Washington. Earlier this year, she found herself in a bad situation: pregnant and on the brink of homelessness. With the help of her former foster family in Battle Ground, she moved back to Clark County. She is set to move into Caples Terrace next month.
“It’s all about my daughter now,” LaCelle said. “I want her to be safe and in a good place and grow up in a way that I didn’t.”
The 28-unit rent-subsidized building is a first for the Vancouver Housing Authority, in that it targets a specific population. The housing caters to young adults between the ages of 18 to 24 who are aging out of foster care or experiencing homelessness, plus their families.
“How are they going to make it when they don’t have a safety net?” asked Roy Johnson, executive director of the Vancouver Housing Authority, the agency behind the project. “So that’s what we wanted to look at providing.”
"Stable housing is the linchpin for a healthy life," said Joan Caley, vice-chair of the housing authority board. "You can’t provide employment services for someone who’s living in a tent."
The three-story complex offers studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and includes a rec room, laundry, and a rooftop deck. Residents in all units will pay 35% of their income as rent. Johnson expects the complex will be full within a couple of months.
More than half of the funding for the $8.2-million development came from low-income housing tax credits, Johnson said. The rest was awarded from Vancouver’s affordable housing fund and profits the housing authority made from selling older units.
U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell is pushing legislation for a significant increase in affordable housing tax credits.
Politicians who applauded Monday’s Caples Terrace ribbon-cutting included U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. She said the project is an example of affordable housing opportunities that can come out of expanding the federal housing tax credit.
“Literally, this is a supply issue,” Cantwell said. “And when you don’t have the supply, the demand for housing drives up the price to even greater levels.”
In June, Cantwell and fellow Washington Democrat, U.S. Rep. Suzane DelBene, introduced bipartisan legislation that would increase funding for low-income housing tax credits by 50%. Cantwell said that could boost Washington's affordable housing stock by 10,000 additional units over the next decade.
“As we know here in Vancouver and Portland, this is a crisis,” Cantwell said.

Aldridge Motors / Durham Hudson Co / Clear-Vue
Morgan Street
Spanish Revival
Downtown West
Two stills taken from digitized video of H. Lee Waters movies of Durham, panoramized. (c. 1937)
As the area near Gregson and Duke became increasingly commercialized during the 1920s, several auto related businesses established themselves here, including the Nash, Dodge, and Studebaker dealerships near Duke St., and service stations such as Griggs and Couch and the Pure Oil Station at Main and Morgan. The Aldridge Motors service station, on the southwest corner of N. Gregson and Morgan was another of these early service stations. Like many of the service stations of its era, there was an emphasis on architectural details that is, well, completely absent in the modern gas station. Tile overhangs, supported by decorative brackets, projected off the northeasterly facades.
Below, a snippet of the movie from which the above spliced still frames were taken, showing a brief pan over the station (at about 50 seconds in.)
By the late 1940s, this had become "Durham Hudson Motor Co", a car dealership.

After Hudson Motor Co. went out of business in the late 1950s, the building was occupied by Clear-Vue glass in 1962. The business seemed to focus on auto-related glass early on, but has become much more of a custom applications shop now.
Clear-Vue, looking south, 1985.
It is a very well-preserved set of buildings - a rarity for these early 20th century service stations.

In 2012, Clear-Vue Glass moved to a newly renovated building on Rigsbee Avenue. Their former space was renovated into a tasty place called Rose's Meat Market and Sweet Shop.

IMO, props should be paid to Lee Barnes of M. M. Fowler for some of his recent gas station renovations. They actually do have some nice architectural details. The BP station on the northwest corner of Broad and West Markham is one, and, more recently, the rebuilt station at Morgan, Main, and Watts.
Unfortunately, the large, klieg-lit roof structures that keep the rain off the gas pumps somewhat obscure the finer work on the buildings. But if you take a moment to look closely, it's there. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11562 | {"url": "https://www.opendurham.org/buildings/aldridge-motors-durham-hudson-co-clear-vue", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.opendurham.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:04:53Z", "digest": "sha1:TUJTXZT4XCG65VZY3FOENMMTKPV2LYST"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2298, 2298.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2298, 3091.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2298, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2298, 64.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2298, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2298, 317.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2298, 0.33122363]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2298, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2298, 0.03273322]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2298, 0.01309329]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2298, 0.01265823]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2298, 0.20675105]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2298, 0.60857909]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2298, 4.91420912]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2298, 5.06963931]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2298, 373.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 61, 0.0], [61, 77, 0.0], [77, 91, 0.0], [91, 187, 0.0], [187, 870, 1.0], [870, 1017, 0.0], [1017, 1096, 1.0], [1096, 1135, 1.0], [1135, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1409, 1.0], [1409, 1441, 1.0], [1441, 1544, 1.0], [1544, 1572, 0.0], [1572, 1746, 1.0], [1746, 1806, 0.0], [1806, 2106, 1.0], [2106, 2298, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 61, 0.0], [61, 77, 0.0], [77, 91, 0.0], [91, 187, 0.0], [187, 870, 0.0], [870, 1017, 0.0], [1017, 1096, 0.0], [1096, 1135, 0.0], [1135, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1409, 0.0], [1409, 1441, 0.0], [1441, 1544, 0.0], [1544, 1572, 0.0], [1572, 1746, 0.0], [1746, 1806, 0.0], [1806, 2106, 0.0], [2106, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 47, 6.0], [47, 61, 2.0], [61, 77, 2.0], [77, 91, 2.0], [91, 187, 16.0], [187, 870, 105.0], [870, 1017, 27.0], [1017, 1096, 14.0], [1096, 1135, 5.0], [1135, 1171, 4.0], [1171, 1409, 42.0], [1409, 1441, 4.0], [1441, 1544, 17.0], [1544, 1572, 3.0], [1572, 1746, 29.0], [1746, 1806, 9.0], [1806, 2106, 53.0], [2106, 2298, 33.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 61, 0.0], [61, 77, 0.0], [77, 91, 0.0], [91, 187, 0.04494382], [187, 870, 0.00601504], [870, 1017, 0.0141844], [1017, 1096, 0.05479452], [1096, 1135, 0.11428571], [1135, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1409, 0.03478261], [1409, 1441, 0.14814815], [1441, 1544, 0.02040816], [1544, 1572, 0.25], [1572, 1746, 0.02380952], [1746, 1806, 0.19607843], [1806, 2106, 0.0], [2106, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 61, 0.0], [61, 77, 0.0], [77, 91, 0.0], [91, 187, 0.0], [187, 870, 0.0], [870, 1017, 0.0], [1017, 1096, 0.0], [1096, 1135, 0.0], [1135, 1171, 0.0], [1171, 1409, 0.0], [1409, 1441, 0.0], [1441, 1544, 0.0], [1544, 1572, 0.0], [1572, 1746, 0.0], [1746, 1806, 0.0], [1806, 2106, 0.0], [2106, 2298, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.14893617], [47, 61, 0.14285714], [61, 77, 0.125], [77, 91, 0.14285714], [91, 187, 0.05208333], [187, 870, 0.03367496], [870, 1017, 0.00680272], [1017, 1096, 0.06329114], [1096, 1135, 0.02564103], [1135, 1171, 0.13888889], [1171, 1409, 0.02941176], [1409, 1441, 0.0625], [1441, 1544, 0.00970874], [1544, 1572, 0.03571429], [1572, 1746, 0.06896552], [1746, 1806, 0.05], [1806, 2106, 0.06], [2106, 2298, 0.01041667]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2298, 0.82098359]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2298, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2298, 0.85785872]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2298, -59.84065383]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2298, -1.84299307]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2298, 32.85579768]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2298, 28.0]]} |

Yield Curves in a Post-Vaccine World?
By Daniel John Grady Last updated Mar 29, 2022
The financial situation in the world is expected to make a major turn sometime around October. That’s when the “Western” vaccines are projected to complete their final trials and be approved for the market.
Russia has already declared its vaccine as a success and authorized its use. However, this is only on the basis of the equivalent of a Phase II trial for vaccines being developed by AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna.
Phase III is a study of the vaccine as thousands of people are administered the vaccine. It would show the real-world effectiveness and potential major side effects.
In the meantime, the US (and other countries) have been building up production capacity for the in-development vaccines, under a program called “Operation Warp-Speed”.
The idea is to start mass production of vaccines so millions can be produced each month. A target of over 400 million is to be available by the end of the year.
What Does It Have To Do With The Yield Curve?
The yield curve tracks expectations of risk. Right now, with the availability of vaccines still unknown, investors have to price in more risk going forward. We don’t know how bad the latest spike in cases through Europe will be; we don’t know what measures governments will take.
Once we have a functioning vaccine, even if everyone doesn’t immediately have access to it, we have a better handle of the economy returning to normal. Potentially, even returning to faster growth, as some of the less efficient, more vulnerable businesses filed for bankruptcy during the pandemic.
The interest rate of different bonds varies depending on what investors expect the interest rate will be during that period. The 2-year bond’s yield reflects expectations of the interest rate for that period. The 10-year considers a longer time frame. The longer the bond period, the higher the interest rate, because there is more uncertainty.
How Central Banks Might Interfere
If everyone expects central banks to keep rates low for the next two years, then the 2-year bond will have a very low yield. But over the next ten years, the economy will return to growth, and the central bank will raise rates. So the 10-year has a higher yield.
However, if central banks want to force more liquidity in the markets, they could buy up longer-term bonds to force down their yields. This is the so-called “yield curve control” that some central banks are considering. Then the yield curve would no longer represent the expectations of the market, but rather a manipulated image created by the central bank.
Also, inflation is expected to rise as the economy recovers, . Higher inflation forces up bond yields as savers demand more interest to compensate for the CPI loss. With all the liquidity from central bank intervention out there, there is an increasing expectation of an important rise in inflation. In turn, this would translate into a steeper yield curve due to higher rates.
Central banks have been trying to signal they will tolerate higher inflation in the short term, but not higher yields. The tug-of-war between the market and central banks might lead to some unprecedented moves in both bond yields and the currencies they are paid in.

Deputies of Krasnoarmeysk City Council voted to rename the city in Pokrovsk, – reported DDK.dn.ua.
"They will apply to the Verkhovna Rada for deputies to rename Krasnoarmeysk in Pokrovsk, not Grishino," - said the statement.
Chairman of Donetsk Regional State Administration Pavel Zhebrivskyi, despite the fact that the Verkhovna Rada is to make the final decision on the issue of renaming, wrote on his Facebook page: "There is no krasnoarmiysk in Donetsk region. There Pokrovsk. There is still Dimitrov. But I guess not for long."
As for Dimitrov, the working group proposed to rename the city as Mirnograd. The new name for the city will be discussed at a meeting of the Public Council and submitted for approval at the session.
Last time the community chose Dmitrov. But the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine issued a draft decree "On renaming individual towns and districts" on February 17th. According to this document, deputies can rename Dimitrov in Grodovsk.

The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun
By J. R. R. Tolkien
Fantasy Fiction Poetry
Unavailable for more than 70 years, this early but important work is published for the first time with Tolkien's 'Corrigan' poems and other supporting material, including a prefatory note by Christopher Tolkien. Set 'In Britain's land beyond the seas' during the Age of Chivalry, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun tells of a childless Breton Lord and Lady (the 'Aotrou' and 'Itroun' of the title) and the tragedy that befalls them when Aotrou seeks to remedy their situation with the aid of a magic potion obtained from a corrigan, or malevolent fairy. When the potion succeeds and Itroun bears twins, the corrigan returns seeking her fee, and Aotrou is forced to choose between betraying his marriage and losing his life. Coming from the darker side of J.R.R. Tolkien's imagination, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, together with the two shorter 'Corrigan' poems that lead up to it and which are also included, was the outcome of a comparatively short but intense period in Tolkien's life when he was deeply engaged with Celtic, and particularly Breton, myth and legend. Originally written in 1930 and long out of print, this early but seminal work is an important addition to the non-Middle-earth portion of his canon and should be set alongside Tolkien's other retellings of myth and legend, The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún, The Fall of Arthur and The Story of Kullervo. Like these works, it belongs to a small but important corpus of his ventures into 'real-world' mythologies, each of which in its own way would be a formative influence on his own legendarium.

The First Rule of Punk
By Celia C. Pérez
Celia C. Pérez
Juvenile Fiction Juvenile Literature
A 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor Book
The First Rule of Punk is a wry and heartfelt exploration of friendship, finding your place, and learning to rock out like no one’s watching.
There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school—you can’t fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On Day One, twelve-year-old Malú (María Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School’s queen bee, violates the school’s dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself.
The real Malú loves rock music, skateboarding, zines, and Soyrizo (hold the cilantro, please). And when she assembles a group of like-minded misfits at school and starts a band, Malú finally begins to feel at home. She'll do anything to preserve this, which includes standing up to an anti-punk school administration to fight for her right to express herself!
Black and white illustrations and collage art by award-winning author Celia C. Pérez are featured throughout.

Overshadowed by Giancarlo Stanton's game-winning grand slam Sunday were ninth-inning contributions from several players, including pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs.
Dobbs came through again, delivering his fifth pinch-hit in 14 at-bats this year to score Emilio Bonifacio with Miami's first of six runs in the inning.
Dobbs is batting .263 in his career as a pinch-hitter (79-for-300) and he leads all active players in pinch-hits.
"I have to be ready to hit from the first pitch,' Dobbs said Monday. "You have to take it one pitch at a time, so every pitch is an at-bat when you are pinch-hitting. I don't have the luxury of waiting for my next at-bat if I pinch-hit.'
Bonifacio improving: Bonifacio delivered triples in his final two at-bats Sunday, in the seventh and ninth innings. He went into Monday batting .412 (7-for-17) from the seven spot in the batting order, after hitting .240 (14-for-114) in the second spot.
"I've been feeling more comfortable now with my approach,' he said. "I'll hit anywhere (manager) Ozzie (Guillen) wants to use me to help the team, anyway if he feels we are a better team.'
Bonifacio said he recently studied video of his at-bats during a recent slump in hopes of improving his efforts to be more selective with pitches.
"I was swinging at pitches out of the (strike) zone. Instead of it being 2-1, it was 1-2,' he said.
Stanton's long slam: Stanton's grand slam Sunday measured 433 feet – the longest home run so far at Marlins Park, according to team measurements. The ball landed on the concrete staircase to the left of the colorful home run sculpture in left-center field.
It was the third walk-off grand slam in Marlins history. Dan Uggla hit one June 11, 2008, against the Phillies and Bobby Bonilla hit one Sept. 16, 1997, against the Rockies.
Stanton (age 22 years, 187 days) is the youngest player to hit a walk-off slam since Jeff Francoeur (22, 125 days) beat the Nationals on May 13, 2006 - six years to the day before Stanton's shot yesterday.
Also Sunday, Joey Votto hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Reds to a 9-6 win over the Nationals. Votto and Stanton became the first pair of players to hit walk-off grand slams on the same day since Boston's Mo Vaughn and San Diego's Steve Finley on April 10, 1998.
Stanton has six home runs in May, tied with Adam Dunn for third-most in the majors this month (Josh Hamilton 9, Carlos Beltran 8). | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11569 | {"url": "https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/mlb/2012/05/14/marlins-notebook-greg-dobbs-continues/7420839007/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.palmbeachpost.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:44:21Z", "digest": "sha1:DPXMK5NP2VGSSRHSSXLCK7NFNMP27GDS"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2404, 2404.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2404, 6101.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2404, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2404, 28.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2404, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2404, 239.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2404, 0.36507937]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2404, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2404, 0.01605996]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2404, 0.01605996]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2404, 0.01058201]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2404, 0.24867725]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2404, 0.56769596]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2404, 4.43705463]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2404, 5.09635215]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2404, 421.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 156, 1.0], [156, 309, 1.0], [309, 423, 1.0], [423, 661, 0.0], [661, 915, 1.0], [915, 1104, 0.0], [1104, 1251, 1.0], [1251, 1351, 1.0], [1351, 1608, 1.0], [1608, 1782, 1.0], [1782, 1988, 1.0], [1988, 2274, 1.0], [2274, 2404, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 156, 0.0], [156, 309, 0.0], [309, 423, 0.0], [423, 661, 0.0], [661, 915, 0.0], [915, 1104, 0.0], [1104, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1351, 0.0], [1351, 1608, 0.0], [1608, 1782, 0.0], [1782, 1988, 0.0], [1988, 2274, 0.0], [2274, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 156, 18.0], [156, 309, 26.0], [309, 423, 19.0], [423, 661, 48.0], [661, 915, 40.0], [915, 1104, 34.0], [1104, 1251, 25.0], [1251, 1351, 20.0], [1351, 1608, 43.0], [1608, 1782, 31.0], [1782, 1988, 37.0], [1988, 2274, 56.0], [2274, 2404, 24.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 156, 0.0], [156, 309, 0.01360544], [309, 423, 0.07619048], [423, 661, 0.0], [661, 915, 0.05907173], [915, 1104, 0.0], [1104, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1351, 0.04494382], [1351, 1608, 0.01204819], [1608, 1782, 0.07272727], [1782, 1988, 0.08290155], [1988, 2274, 0.02888087], [2274, 2404, 0.01612903]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 156, 0.0], [156, 309, 0.0], [309, 423, 0.0], [423, 661, 0.0], [661, 915, 0.0], [915, 1104, 0.0], [1104, 1251, 0.0], [1251, 1351, 0.0], [1351, 1608, 0.0], [1608, 1782, 0.0], [1782, 1988, 0.0], [1988, 2274, 0.0], [2274, 2404, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 156, 0.03846154], [156, 309, 0.02614379], [309, 423, 0.00877193], [423, 661, 0.02521008], [661, 915, 0.01968504], [915, 1104, 0.02116402], [1104, 1251, 0.00680272], [1251, 1351, 0.02], [1351, 1608, 0.0233463], [1608, 1782, 0.05747126], [1782, 1988, 0.02912621], [1988, 2274, 0.05594406], [2274, 2404, 0.06153846]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2404, 0.92288733]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2404, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2404, 0.85959584]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2404, -102.71725603]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2404, 25.69663957]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2404, -41.39628564]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2404, 25.0]]} |

40 Exciting Sustainable Fashion Facts To Know About
Conscious consumerism is taking off, and many people understand why sustainable fashion matters today. It's also very encouraging to see the textile and apparel industry implement more sustainability practices.

44% of surveyed consumers indicate that their environmental shopping habits have not changed as a result of the economy.
22. Recycled nylon reduces the global warming impact by 90%.
Regenerated nylon is a high-performance and very sustainable recycled fabric. Aquafil is one of the top manufacturers of regenerated nylon fibers: Econyl.
Recycled nylon is much more environmentally friendly than virgin nylon. It reduces water, energy usage, and carbon emissions compared to conventional nylon production from oil.
For every 10,000 tons Econyl recycled nylon produced, 70,000 barrels of crude oil and 65,100 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions are saved compared to a regular nylon yarn made from virgin polymer.
Econyl regenerated nylon reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared to the material from oil.
23. Recycled nylon saves 90% of water consumption.
Q-NOVA by Fulgar is an environmentally friendly and sustainable fiber made from nylon waste materials. Nylon waste is melted down, regenerated, and restored into polymers without the use of chemicals.
For each kilogram of Q-NOVA recycled nylon produced, 90% liters of water and 80% carbon dioxide equivalent emissions are saved compared to a regular polyamide yarn made from virgin polymer.
“In 2017 alone, the Q-Nova recycling system enabled savings of over 11 million liters of water. If the growth in demand for Q-Nova yarn reaches 30% in 2018, more than 15 million liters of water will be saved.”
- Fulgar, an Italian textile fiber manufacturing company
24. Clothing recycling saves tons of water and energy.
In 2016, the Nordic Council of Ministers estimated that the reuse and recycling of about 100,000 tons of used textiles save up to 190,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases.
"The reuse and recycling of the exported textiles lead to annual net savings of around 190 000 tonnes CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gases and offset 70 million cubic meters of water use by offsetting the production of new textiles/materials."
- David Watson, Environmental Analyst, in the Exports of Nordic Used Textiles Study
25. Wearing second-hand clothing reduces your footprint by 80%.

26. The United States is the biggest exporter of used clothing.
The first exporter of used clothing worldwide is the United States. It exports a value of over USD 675 million in second-hand clothes each year to countries such as Canada, Guatemala, Chile, and India, according to published United Nations statistics.
The United Kingdom is the second-largest exporter of pre-loved fashion. It ships to countries such as Ukraine, Poland, Pakistan, and Ghana. In 2018, it exported 543 million USD or 395,000 tons of used clothing.
27. 31% more second-hand items get listed on eBay.
Emma Grant, the Head of Seller Proposition at eBay, reveals that more and more people are buying and selling used clothing as a way to impact the environment positively.
"People are truly beginning to realize that simply by buying second-hand and extending the life-span of a piece of clothing, they can make a huge difference to the environment. I think that people are much more aware now of the damage that fast fashion can cause than they were a few years ago. Even since 2017, there has been a 31% increase in the number of second-hand items listed on eBay, which proves there is a real changing attitude and movement away from fast fashion."

28. Organic cotton saves tons of water and CO2 emissions.
Organic cotton has many environmental benefits over regular cotton. It's less likely to contribute to acidification and eutrophication of freshwater sources. It helps soil fertility and biodiversity.
By growing organic instead of conventional cotton, farmers can potentially save 218 billion liters of water and 92.5 million kg of carbon dioxide, as reported by the Textile Exchange.
29. Recycling cotton saves up to 765 cubic meters of water.
Cotton is a resource-intense crop requiring a lot of water, energy, labor, pesticides, and insecticides to grow. Recycled cotton, however, demands much fewer resources to manufacture than conventional cotton.
It's a textile fiber that uses post-consumer and post-industrial cotton waste that minimizes the environmental impact of cotton production drastically. Recycling one ton of cotton can save up to 765 cubic meters (202,000 US gal) of water.
30. Emma Watson leads Gucci's sustainability strategy.
The Kering Group, the parent company of the global luxury brands Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, appointed Emma Watson as Chair of the Sustainability Committee of its Board of Directors.

34. Clothing donations increased by 40% in 2020.
Lloyd Lewis, Arc Thrift Stores Chief Executives Officer, tells TODAY that clothing donations increased from 20% to 40% since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis.
Consumers are more willing to donate their old clothes to charities and non-profit organizations than discarding them, which benefits the environment tremendously.
35. People care more about the sustainably of products.
The sustainable fashion movement is booming. People are starting to care more about how clothing production occurs.
They pay more attention to the quality, durability, and sustainability of products along with price, style, and accessibility, according to the 2020 Sustainable Share Market Index.
Brands without sustainability strategies risk losing the trust of their customers, employees, suppliers, and partners. It's time to prioritize ethical sourcing, transparency, sustainable materials, and circularity.
36. Consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable fashion.
The IFM-Première Vision study reveals the state of the post-COVID-19 fashion market. It analyses the demand for more sustainability among 5,000 consumers in France, Italy, the United States, and Germany.
"Consumers tend to buy less, but better. They are willing to pay more, and compensate by buying fewer products."
- Gildas Minvielle, IFM-Première Vision Chair Director
Nearly 50% of European consumers purchased an eco-friendly fashion item in 2019. The second-hand market is most important in France and the United States, with respectively 38,7% and 53,3% of consumers buying used in 2019.

Belt’s infield single the only Giants hit, Cueto’s brilliance wasted in 1-0 loss
PUBLISHED: April 17, 2018 at 11:54 p.m. | UPDATED: May 18, 2018 at 9:59 a.m.
PHOENIX–One starter dazzled with an array of pitches that danced and darted, flummoxed and fazed, and ultimately missed bats to the tune of 11 strikeouts in a brilliant outing.
The other starter chased a no-hitter.
Though Johnny Cueto’s dynamic changeup was must-watch entertainment in its own right, it was D’Backs starter Patrick Corbin’s pursuit of history that forced fans to drop everything and tune into the Giants’ 1-0 loss Tuesday.
While Corbin’s bid to no-hit the Giants came up just short thanks to a Brandon Belt infield single against a shift in the top of the eighth inning, Corbin was as dominant as he needed to be to down the Giants on Tuesday.
“If we get ballgames out of Johnny like he did tonight, he’s going to win us a lot of baseball games,” Belt said. “It’s just unfortunate that the other guy pitched really well tonight, too.”
For the ninth time in 16 games, the Giants scored one run or fewer and this time, one run would have been enough to keep the contest rolling into extra innings. Instead, a two-out RBI single from David Peralta off of Tony Watson in the bottom of the eighth was all the offense Arizona needed to support Corbin and beat Cueto on a night when the words “pitchers’ duel” wouldn’t do justice to what fans witnessed.
“(Corbin) had great stuff obviously, it’s when you run into a well-pitched game,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “Our guy, he made it his game too and he knew he had to.”
Corbin’s brilliance wasn’t quite evident until the middle innings, but the Giants didn’t do much to challenge the D’Backs left-hander early. The lineup hardly worked deep counts and the hitters didn’t barrel up any pitches that tested defenders until the top of the third inning.
That’s when Belt hit a grounder that appeared to have enough juice to break through a shift on the right side of the infield. But just as Belt reached the middle of the first base line, third baseman Daniel Descalso –who was playing to the right of second base– launched his body at the ball, made a diving stab and stood up to throw Belt out at first.
It wasn’t even the best play the D’Backs defense made all night.
With Corbin approaching the brink of history, Buster Posey smoked a pitch to deep right center field that A.J. Pollock had trouble tracking. But right before the ball hit the outfield grass, Pollock laid out to preserve the no-hitter and author the game’s most spectacular defensive play.
It was only fitting then, that after Belt was robbed by the D’Backs shift early, he was the one who used the shift to his advantage in the eighth. Sure, it wasn’t a bunt, but Belt’s single had every appearance of a well-placed, timely knock that might still rile up the defender’s of the game’s unwritten rules.
In a 0-0 ballgame, that doesn’t matter.
“You play to win the ballgame,” Bochy and Belt both said.
Though the Giants split their first 12 games of the season, Bruce Bochy admitted the club’s lack of pitching depth was exposed in San Diego over the weekend as the Padres took the final three games of a four-game series.
While Bochy and the Giants’ front office are piecing together the pitching staff on a day-by-day basis, Cueto’s return to the rotation was a welcome sight, especially considering how well the right-hander performed in his first two starts.
Cueto missed just 10 days with a sprained left ankle he suffered during a cardio workout between outings, but he was able to pick up almost exactly where he left off against Arizona.
It wasn’t necessarily by design, but the D’Backs did test Cueto’s left ankle the first time through the lineup.
In the bottom of the second, the Giants used a shift against left-handed hitting third baseman Daniel Descalso, who promptly hit a pop up in foul ground on the third base side. With third baseman Pablo Sandoval shifted up the middle, Cueto was the closest player to the ball and he dashed over to foul territory to make the catch.
In the bottom of the third, speedy outfielder Jarrod Dyson sent a swinging bunt to the right side of the mound, and in one fluid motion, Cueto scooped up the slow roller and sprinted to cut Dyson off as he ran up the first base line. The Giants’ starter applied the tag, proving once and for all that his ankle was in strong enough shape for Cueto to field his position.
“I was nervous on both of them,” Bochy said.
Arizona didn’t do much else to test Cueto, though, as the right-hander matched Corbin’s dominance for seven shutout innings before turning the game over to Watson. Cueto struck out at least one hitter in each of his first five innings, racking up four consecutive strikeouts from the bottom of the fourth to the bottom of the fifth before a Dyson single up the middle ended the hot streak.
Having a runner on base barely fazed Cueto, though, as he retired Corbin on one pitch to end the frame.
The right-hander returned to the mound in the sixth and seventh, tacking on four more strikeouts which highlighted just how scintillating his changeup can be when it’s dancing in and out of the zone.
“I want to say that all of my pitches were working tonight,” Cueto said. “The changeup was my go-to pitch but everything else was working.”
In three starts this year Cueto has logged 20 innings and allowed just one run. His 0.45 ERA is the lowest mark he’s posted through the first three outings in a season in his 11-year Major League career.
Unfortunately for Cueto, he ran into Corbin, who became the first left-handed pitcher to post a game score (0-100 scale) of 98 since Madison Bumgarner did so with a one-hit shutout of the D’Backs on July 10, 2016. Since that win, the Giants are 100-150 in their last 250 games.
Corbin’s one-hit shutout of the Giants on Tuesday featured eight strikeouts and just three balls in play that had hit probabilities greater than 50 percent, according to Statcast.
The last time a pitcher threw at least 7 and 2/3 innings of no-hit ball against the Giants, Reds starter Homer Bailey finished the job. His no-hitter on July 2, 2013 came against a San Francisco lineup that employed Posey, Belt, Gregor Blanco, Pablo Sandoval, Hunter Pence and Brandon Crawford.
Most of those players are still being counted on as key contributors in a Giants lineup that has scored the second-fewest runs in baseball.
“We just need to find a way to get these bats going,” Bochy said. “I just see some guys pressing here and they’re trying a little too hard and you can see it.”
Longoria hopeful to play Wednesday
Evan Longoria was a late scratch for the Giants Tuesday after he injured his left ankle while tracking pitches during Derek Holland’s bullpen.
Longoria said his ankle locked up and he felt a similar pain to what he experienced when he was sidelined during spring training with ankle soreness, but he’s hopeful he’ll return to the Giants lineup Wednesday.
“I’m pretty positive that I should be good to go,” Longoria said. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11571 | {"url":

Home » Science & Impact » The Work We Fund » The Precision Medicine Revolution
Welcome to the world of precision medicine.
That sounds futuristic, like science fiction, or a cool exhibit, something that promises great things for tomorrow, something that’s not here yet.
But this is different. We have new knowledge which has given us new targets for a smarter, more scientific approach that is helping all men with prostate cancer – but particularly those who need it most, men with metastatic prostate cancer. Even a year ago, many of these men had to endure the discouraging trial-and-error process of finding drugs that work for them. We hate trial and error; it takes up valuable time and wears you down.
One day, there won’t be trial and error for prostate cancer drugs. Thanks to research funded by the Prostate Cancer Foundation, we have new targets – genes we now know to look for – that have led to new tests, which point us to specific drugs. Some of these drugs may not even be intended for prostate cancer, but for colon cancer or breast cancer; yet they are likely to work in your cancer if you have those same faulty genes, too.
One great thing about these drugs is that because they are gene-targeted, they don’t poison your body, make you vomit, deplete your white blood cells or hurt your bone marrow.
In the past, because chemotherapy was so harsh, doctors did something that seems kind of odd now: they waited until nothing else worked before they gave it. This meant that by the time a man with metastatic prostate cancer got chemo, he was already very sick, and his cancer was very advanced. Now, because precision testing can give us a glimpse several years into the future, we know which men are likely to have their cancer come back, and we’re not waiting around for that. When it comes to treating cancer cells, sooner is better than later.
It’s not your father’s prostate cancer anymore.
We’re not done yet, not by a long shot. There’s much more work to do. Already, the death rate is half of what it used to be 20 years ago. Many men who have metastatic prostate cancer are not going to die of it; with these new approaches, we are putting them into long remissions.
Our goal is cure, and we’re not there yet. But we can see it; it’s not just some vague hope, not wishful thinking. We’re getting there, thanks to precision medicine. This is why we have raised and pushed $630 million dollars into research over the last two decades: to stop men from dying of prostate cancer.
Precision Drugs: If you have advanced prostate cancer and conventional hormonal therapy is no longer working, you might be helped by enzalutamide or abiraterone – but you might not. Now, instead of spending thousands of dollars and enduring months of trial and error, you can find out ahead of time if you should take one of these drugs. A simple blood test is just becoming widely available. It targets AR-V7, a particular androgen receptor variant (basically, AR-V7 allows the cancer to create an antidote to these drugs, canceling out their effects). If you are AR-V7 negative, then abiraterone or enzalutamide can put you into remission. If you are AR-V7 positive, then you will do better with another form of treatment.
I believe that every man should be asking his oncologist, “What’s my AR-V7 status?” You need to help drive your treatment. This is so new, your oncologist may not know about it.
Precision Diagnosis. We call this clonotyping: basically, your cancer is one dot on the big data map of prostate cancer, and exactly where you are depends on the specific genes that are mutated in your cancer.
We now know that you don’t just have prostate cancer: you have a very particular type of it – one of over 27 different kinds (scientists call them clones) of prostate cancer. This is not as crucial to understand if you have localized, low- or intermediate-risk disease. But it is very important to understand if you have high-risk or advanced disease. Just as we all have different fingerprints, cancer has different fingerprints, too – except these fingerprints are genetic. The genes that are mutated in your piece of the prostate cancer jigsaw puzzle are most likely different from the genes involved in the prostate cancer of the man sitting next to you in the doctor’s waiting room. Your cancer is literally programmed differently from that guy’s; it’s driven by slightly different software, because the DNA code is different.
This means that when it comes to advanced or high-risk prostate cancer, we know that the treatment that works on one man’s cancer may not work on yours, and now we know why. So we shouldn’t treat you both the same. We need custom-tailored treatment, and that begins with custom-tailored diagnosis.
To show you where we’re headed, it’s like the difference between buying a suit off the rack and getting one crafted by an expert tailor: precision medicine is individualized. You need custom-tailored treatment, and that begins with custom-tailored diagnosis.
The old way – and by this I mean what we did even six months ago – was to treat the average. This means that if 100 men got treatment, some would benefit, and the rest would have cancer that keeps right on growing. We did our best to give patients odds, because all we could do was estimate that they might be in the group of men who are helped by a particular drug. The new way, precision medicine, means treating the right patient with the right disease at the right time with the right amount of drug. It’s about understanding the genes. This approach works: 25 years ago, everyone who got HIV died of AIDS. Now, nobody has to die of AIDS, because we have medicines to treat it. Even the smallest genetic variant in that disease is so well-defined, we know what medicine will work best.
We shouldn’t be treating prostate cancer; we should be treating you. Precision medicine also means that your prostate cancer may have more in common with colon cancer, or breast cancer, than with some other man’s prostate cancer, because you may share the same genetic mutations.
Precision testing. There is a new blood test called the Cascade Genetic Test that could change your life. Your doctor may not know about it; it’s that new. But if you have metastatic prostate cancer, or your father had it, you should know about it; so should your sons and daughters, and your grandchildren. The “cascade” part of the test is the domino effect to the next generations; that’s the part that will save lives and stop the cycle of lethal cancer from bad genes. A patient recently asked, “Why didn’t my urologist tell me?” Because it’s very new.
This test, developed by PCF-funded research, tells you if you have a mutation in one of 16 genes called “DNA damage-repair” genes. These genes are little mechanics; their job is to fix problems in the DNA. When they break down, errors don’t get fixed, and over time, this can lead to cancer. Some of these genes are pretty famous: BRCA1 and BRCA2 are well-known causes of breast and ovarian cancer.
Another is a gene called WNT. It’s mutated in 100 percent of colon cancers and a target in more than 25 percent of ovarian cancers that are chemotherapy-resistant. If you have a faulty WNT gene, then what makes most sense is a drug that has WNT as its bullseye.
Still another gene is called PTEN, and it is mutated in more than 40 percent of all lethal breast cancers, more than 60 percent of lethal ovarian and uterine cancers, and 40 percent of brain tumors. PTEN is like the emergency brake on a car; if it doesn’t work, you’re in trouble. Now, imagine that car is parked on a hill: just as the car rolls downhill and picks up speed, so does cancer start growing unchecked without this gene.
So what we need – and are actively working on – are PTEN-targeting drugs that act like a caltrop. This is an ancient, highly effective weapon, used by the Romans to deter chariots and still used today in the form of spike strips that puncture your tires if you go the wrong way. If the brake is off and the car is rolling, this will slow it down and eventually stop it. When – not if – these drugs become available, they will not only help men with prostate cancer, but many men and women with different cancers, as well.
Now, a PTEN-targeting drug is not going to help a man with a faulty BRCA1 gene; but a drug like olaparib or rucaparib – both of which target BRCA1 – could help that man get his cancer into remission.
Have you heard of an “orphan disease?” That’s what we’re dealing with here. Orphan diseases affect just a few people compared to heavy-hitters, diseases like lung cancer or diabetes that affect millions. They tend to languish when it comes to funding for research and treatment. But if those orphan diseases could be combined somehow, the numbers of people affected would really go up, and the pharmaceutical industry would have a lot more incentive to develop drugs to treat them.
We now know that advanced prostate cancer is a bunch of orphan diseases.
Here’s another example: 3 percent of men with metastatic prostate cancer have a mutated MMR gene. A young PCF-funded investigator named Julie Graff has had amazing results in some men with metastatic prostate cancer using a drug called pembrolizumab, which is in a new class of drugs called checkpoint inhibitors. These drugs help the immune system recognize cancer as the enemy, and use the body’s own powerful T cells to kill the cancer. Specifically, pembrolizumab is a “PD-1” inhibitor, and is approved by the FDA to treat melanoma. Melanoma is not prostate cancer, but some people in both categories have precisely the same MMR mutation, and for them, pembrolizumab produces results that have been called miraculous. In some men, the cancer that lit up their scans when the study started either shrank significantly or disappeared entirely just a few months later. Their PSA dropped dramatically – from more than 2,000 down to 0. They stopped taking pain medication.
Graff’s protocol is laid out. If you have the right genetic mutation for this study, you should be able to get this drug, and you shouldn’t have to fly to Oregon, where she is, to get it. It’s not chemo. No one has ever seen metastases in the liver disappear like this – yet they really do, and you can see the images for yourself here. Over the next few months, as soon as it’s available, we will have information on hospitals that are offering these drugs in clinical trials. This is precision oncology.
Precision family genetics. Another PCF-funded investigator, Dr. Heather Cheng, has started a program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington that is the first of its kind in the country. She is offering treatment based on the genetics of your cancer. If it involves a gene (like the ones we talked about above) that might be carried by your sons and daughters, she offers them genetic counseling – so your daughter can get high-risk screening for breast and ovarian cancer if she needs it. Every man treated for prostate cancer there will have custom-tailored treatment based on an understanding of the genes that need to be targeted to make him better. Reach out to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (URL: seattlecca.org/contact/feedback) to inquire. We hope to see similar programs starting at centers of excellence around the country.
Precision biopsy. Pathologists can’t get this kind of genetic information just from looking at prostate biopsy tissue under a microscope and determining the Gleason grade. So just as it’s not your father’s prostate cancer treatment anymore, it’s not his biopsy, either. Pathologists today look at the DNA of prostate cancer cells. We are also working toward what we call a “liquid biopsy,” where pathologists can isolate some prostate cancer cells that are circulating in the blood and look at that DNA, as well.
Precision patients as partners. Everything I’m talking about right now is not going to become widespread without men and their families driving the standard of care. There is a frontier, a leading edge of medicine, and that’s what you need to be seeking. Ask your doctor for the AR-V7 test. Ask your doctor for the Cascade Genetic test. Ask your doctor if you are eligible for a clinical trial of a checkpoint inhibitor. This is all so new. But we have turned a corner on prostate cancer, and there’s no going back. We’ve seen it with HIV. We are seeing amazing results in metastatic prostate cancer, and in other metastatic cancers. We have momentum.
You are an essential part of this. It is crucial that we have men with prostate cancer willing to help other men with prostate cancer: sharing your stories, sharing the latest news about treatments and research – so they can ask their doctors whether it will be right for them.
What kind of prostate cancer do you have? Let’s figure it out and go from there.
Welcome to precision medicine.

on kings, and kingdom language
Growing up, even as a little child I was fascinated by what was then known as the English Civil War (although, to be accurate historically, this is now rightly recognised as several different wars across the islands of Britain and Ireland). It was a bitter and brutal period, culminating in the judicial trial and execution of the King. For this was a powerful revolution. Indeed it saw the establishment of a republic, the Commonwealth and Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell. Moreover, in that latter period there was also an extraordinary flowering of truly radical religious and political life and thought. That, I think, was what especially drew me into the study of history. For the origin of many liberal democratic things we take for granted lie there – for example, the insistence on no taxation or legislation without representation, on regular elections, fixed parliamentary terms, equal votes, and, vitally, on religious freedom for different types of groups, particularly the marginalised. Indeed, Cromwell even reopened England to the Jews, who had been banned for centuries. For his supporters were also part of the movements which helped create Congregationalism, the original founding tradition of Pitt Street Uniting Church... | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11573 | {"url": "https://www.penandinkreflections.org/blog/category/glenn-loughrey", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.penandinkreflections.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:01:52Z", "digest": "sha1:UAJ24PRBYVJRXZEZ2K5RYC4SL73ONKF6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1274, 1274.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1274, 12874.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1274, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1274, 1144.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1274, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1274, 193.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1274, 0.44782609]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1274, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1274, 0.00767754]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1274, 0.00869565]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1274, 0.5]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1274, 0.13478261]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1274, 0.695]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1274, 5.21]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1274, 0.00434783]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1274, 4.65178022]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1274, 200.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1274, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 5.0], [31, 1274, 195.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1274, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1274, 0.02333065]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1274, 0.99557537]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1274, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1274, 0.39145541]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1274, 29.28065276]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1274, 25.03018268]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1274, 28.45229689]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1274, 9.0]]} |
Survey shows continued support for immigration reform
January 13, 2010 12:51 PM CST By Emile Schepers
If all goes as planned, Congress will try once more to deal with comprehensive immigration reform in February and March of this year. Congressmen Solomon Ortiz (D-TX) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) have already submitted an ambitiously progressive bill (HR 4321), which has garnered 92 House co-sponsors, and Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) is about to introduce a more conservative version in the Senate.
However, many Democrats view this effort with great trepidation, while Republicans are gearing up to use immigration reform as a bogeyman to use against the November midterm elections. Both assume that with unemployment at 10%, the voters will be in no mood to give a break to people who are portrayed by right-wing populists as “job thieves”.
Yet a new public opinion survey carried out by Benenson Strategy Group, a firm often used by Democrats, suggests that these fears may be overblown. To summarize, Benenson chief Pete Brodnitz writes in a memo: “While comprehensive immigration reform has some vocal opponents, we found that the vast majority of voters (two thirds or more depending on the details) favor comprehensive immigration reform, a position that has not wavered in the face of an economic downturn…voters see a relationship between comprehensive immigration reform and the economy and perceive an economic and fiscal benefit to passing reform.”
This approximate figure for support of a reform plan which, among other things, would give legal status to the vast majority of the 11 to 12 million undocumented immigrants now in the country has held steady for several years, not only in the teeth of severe economic difficulties but also in spite of an incredibly vicious, all pervasive campaign by the Republican right and its media allies to portray immigrants as criminal and diseased terrorists and a threat to the very existence of the United States.
In the Bennenson poll, when the details of a possible immigration reform were presented, support (86%) was even higher than when the question was put abstractly, without details of what such a reform would entail (64%). The phrasing of the questions in the poll closely tracked the language Democratic Party leaders are using in their presentation of the idea of comprehensive immigration reform, i.e. to balance off the chance of legalization for the undocumented against more control measures. Surprisingly, there was not much of a difference among Democrats, Republicans and Independents. The surveyed showed a high level of recognition that legalizing the undocumented would be beneficial to the economy, by enabling more immigrants to pay taxes and contribute in other ways.
The general impression is that the virulent anti-immigrant movement indeed has a social base, but that does not constitute more than about 20 to 30% of the population. This is still a problem, because of the distribution of some of the anti-immigrant feeling in certain states and congressional districts that the Democratic Party and the Obama administration will be keen to win, or, in a number of cases in which Senate or House seats were won in such districts in 2008, to retain.
The survey results and other data suggest that a greater effort on the part of labor and the immigration reform movement to refute misinformation being put out in the media about immigrants and their relationship to unemployment, crime, health care and our society in general might create a political space in which more Representatives and Senators could pick up the courage to vote for a reasonable reform this year.

RHS- Room 409
Scholastic Bowl is an IHSA sanctioned team academic competition. Our RHS team competes against teams across the state at the Varsity and Junior Varsity level. The questions asked of the students coincide with the core academic areas of the high school curriculum. The style of play is similar to Jeopardy, with the exception of the 5 person team concept and additional, bonus questions. Any RHS student can join the club. However, it is a competitive activity that runs through the winter season and therefore attendance is highly encouraged.
Competitions take place mostly on Tuesdays in January and February with the occasional tournament on Saturday. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11575 | {"url": "https://www.peoriapublicschools.org/domain/3569", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.peoriapublicschools.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:58:12Z", "digest": "sha1:UQAF7VB6VVWRT6VTW7GGY2FE5FBK5YCM"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 735, 735.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 735, 30135.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 735, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 735, 364.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 735, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 735, 245.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 735, 0.30935252]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 735, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 735, 0.025]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 735, 0.02877698]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 735, 0.17266187]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 735, 0.72881356]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 735, 5.08474576]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 735, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 735, 4.21326592]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 735, 118.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 68, 1.0], [68, 82, 0.0], [82, 625, 1.0], [625, 735, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 68, 0.0], [68, 82, 0.0], [82, 625, 0.0], [625, 735, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 14, 3.0], [14, 68, 8.0], [68, 82, 3.0], [82, 625, 88.0], [625, 735, 16.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 68, 0.12765957], [68, 82, 0.25], [82, 625, 0.00187617], [625, 735, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 68, 0.0], [68, 82, 0.0], [82, 625, 0.0], [625, 735, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 14, 0.21428571], [14, 68, 0.09259259], [68, 82, 0.28571429], [82, 625, 0.03867403], [625, 735, 0.04545455]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 735, 0.47844219]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 735, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 735, 0.01953202]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 735, -31.89230101]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 735, 2.31049131]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 735, -2.1762406]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 735, 10.0]]} |
The Martini. All images from Spirited
Yes of course you should never really drink more than two, but, as our book Spirited makes clear, there’s a lot of great variations on this classic to sample
A guy walks into a bar and orders, well... what? Our new book, Spirited, proves there is an awful lot to choose from. Subtitled Cocktails from Around the World, the book is a truly global overview of cocktail recipes, from the classic to the cutting-edge. Offering everything from advice on how to make syrups, through to insight into the origins of gin and tonic, the right way to stock a home bar, and the real story behind the Harvey Wallbanger, the book proves that a fully comprehensive bar menu is near endless.
Take for example the Martini . A cocktail novice might not be aware that there’s a great range of variation within even this simple drink. As Spirited’s author Adrienne Stillman writes, “Perhaps the single most iconic cocktail, the Martini has its roots in another famous cocktail: the Manhattan. Pre-Prohibition, you were as likely to encounter a Sweet Martini (with sweet vermouth), but after Prohibition the Martini got drier until finally it had little if any vermouth. The original Martini was made with gin, but now vodka is equally common. It should always be stirred, not shaken.”
However, the drink’s varieties don’t end there. If you want to try the missing link between the Martini and its predecessor order a Martinez , “the bridge cocktail between the Manhattan and the Martini,” writes Stillman. “The first mention of it (in 1894) describes it as a Manhattan with gin—most likely Old Tom or even genever [Dutch gin], which were both much more common in the late 1870s in New York. The town of Martinez near San Francisco claims it as its own creation, but this is dubious at best. There are many variations of this cocktail and it lends itself to experimentation.
The Espresso Martini, as featured in Spirited
There’s also the Gibson , “a Martini with a cocktail onion garnish. One story goes that it was created by a teetotaler American diplomat. In order to not seem unsociable at parties, he would have the bartender serve him water in a Martini glass, the onion serving to differentiate his drink from others.”
After something stronger? Try a__ Dukes Martini__ , an “iconic Martini served at London’s Dukes Hotel, once a favorite haunt of James Bond creator Ian Fleming. In the mid 1980s, former head bartender Salvatore Calabrese pioneered the method of freezing the gin in advance, thereby eliminating the need to chill it with ice. This is an extremely potent drink and indeed at Dukes there is a two-drink maximum per guest.”
You could also pick yourself up with a nice__ Espresso Martini__ . “Created by Dick Bradsell in the 1980s in London for a model who requested a drink that, according to Bradsell, would ‘wake me up, then fuck me up.’ A freshly made espresso is essential to the textured froth of this drink.”
For a more decadent take (though actually quite sweet and not that alcoholic) try a__ Pornstar Martini,__ “a sensation in London in the early 2000s when created by bartender Douglas Ankrah at Townhouse. Douglas described it as “pure indulgence, sexy, fun and evocative”
To see in a new day, knock back a Breakfast Martini , “A modern classic created by Italian bartender Salvatore Calabrese at The Lanesborough in London in the 1990s, inspired by his breakfast of marmalade on toast.”

Guiding You Through Government Requirements
The ins and outs of environmental regulations
If you have ever considered funding for your development project using federal or state programs, you know there are many additional environmental factors which must be considered.
Most of these factors can be attributed to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. NEPA was the first major environmental law directing Federal agencies to “look before you leap” and consider environmental consequences before funding or permitting a development.
Today, each federal agency has developed their own guidelines on how to ensure compliance with NEPA through an environmental review process. These guidelines are continually revised and updated to better address the intent of the regulations.
Phase Engineering stays up-to-date on the latest regulatory changes and provides technical reporting to satisfy a wide range of government requirements and compliance measures, including but not limited to:
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 24 CFR Part 58 Reviews: These reviews apply to local government recipients of relevant CPD funds including CDBG assistance, HOME, NSP grants, Disaster Recovery assistance, and Public Housing programming.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 24 CFR Part 50 Reviews: These reviews are applicable when responsibility is not delegated to the local government, as well as when the local government is not a direct recipient of the funds or when HUD determines the local government cannot act responsibly. Part 50 Reviews are completed using the HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS).
USDA Rural Development (RD) 1970 Environmental Policies and Procedures: USDA programs administrated by the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS), Rural Housing Service (RHS), and Rural Utilities Service (RUS) must follow the agency’s environmental regulations included in 40 CFR Part 1970.
National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF)This program was established under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 to allow HUD to allocate funds to eligible States to increase and preserve the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing particularly to renter households that are homeless or with very low to extremely low income. NEPA is not applicable under this program since HUD has no discretion over the State’s selection or rejection of individual projects. However, projects involving new construction or rehabilitation must follow specific Environmental Provisions as defined in 24 CFR Part 301(f)(1) and (2).

In 597 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, sent his army against Jerusalem and captured it for the second time. And again, he took many captives back to Babylon. One of these captives was a young Hebrew priest named Ezekiel.
Ezekiel didn't know it at the time, but God had a special assignment for him in the land of captivity. He was to be God's prophet to the Jewish captives.
During this national crisis, Jeremiah brought God's words to the people still living in the land of Jerusalem and Judah; Daniel was God's spokesman to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and Ezekiel delivered God's messages to the Jewish captives.
The book of Ezekiel is replete with symbols and allegories. Its imagery, sometimes reflected in the book of Revelation, is not always easy to interpret. So it has become one of the most neglected books of the Bible.
Why, then, do we concern ourselves with this book? Because it has something to say about such important subjects as individual responsibility, the justice of God, forgiveness, and the origin of sin. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11578 | {"url": "https://www.phxcommunitycenter.adventistfaith.org/bibleinfo_questions/ezekiel", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.phxcommunitycenter.adventistfaith.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:31:40Z", "digest": "sha1:LKC5KYNWZD326JJDOGZDTGULBE6YKHNL"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1177, 1177.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1177, 4254.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1177, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1177, 47.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1177, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1177, 213.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1177, 0.40740741]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1177, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1177, 0.02118644]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1177, 0.02754237]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1177, 0.02330508]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1177, 0.01234568]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1177, 0.1563786]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1177, 0.62436548]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1177, 4.79187817]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1177, 4.48338845]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1177, 197.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 64, 0.0], [64, 92, 0.0], [92, 103, 0.0], [103, 134, 0.0], [134, 363, 1.0], [363, 517, 1.0], [517, 763, 1.0], [763, 979, 1.0], [979, 1177, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 64, 0.0], [64, 92, 0.0], [92, 103, 0.0], [103, 134, 0.0], [134, 363, 0.0], [363, 517, 0.0], [517, 763, 0.0], [763, 979, 0.0], [979, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 29, 4.0], [29, 64, 5.0], [64, 92, 3.0], [92, 103, 2.0], [103, 134, 6.0], [134, 363, 39.0], [363, 517, 30.0], [517, 763, 38.0], [763, 979, 38.0], [979, 1177, 32.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 64, 0.0], [64, 92, 0.0], [92, 103, 0.0], [103, 134, 0.0], [134, 363, 0.01369863], [363, 517, 0.0], [517, 763, 0.0], [763, 979, 0.0], [979, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 64, 0.0], [64, 92, 0.0], [92, 103, 0.0], [103, 134, 0.0], [134, 363, 0.0], [363, 517, 0.0], [517, 763, 0.0], [763, 979, 0.0], [979, 1177, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 29, 0.20689655], [29, 64, 0.08571429], [64, 92, 0.10714286], [92, 103, 0.18181818], [103, 134, 0.09677419], [134, 363, 0.04803493], [363, 517, 0.03246753], [517, 763, 0.04878049], [763, 979, 0.02777778], [979, 1177, 0.01515152]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1177, 0.36505949]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1177, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1177, 0.18456453]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1177, 41.02562601]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1177, 15.91135158]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1177, -2.69493065]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1177, 13.0]]} |
Karen Becker and Friends Concert to Feature Music of Sergei Prokofiev
SUNY Plattsburgh’s Department of Music will present a “Karen Becker and Friends” concert with pianist Dr. Karen Becker and violinist Marilyn Reynolds 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27 in E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium, located in Hawkins Hall. Admission is free.
The program consists entirely of works by Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953).
“In choosing the Prokofiev, I wanted to challenge myself and my audience — this is music that is wonderful, but that sometimes needs an explanation. This concert will give my audience a chance to experience rhythm and tonality on a whole new level,” Becker said.
Prokofiev is considered by many to be one of the most important composers of the 20th century. A master of numerous musical genres, his orchestral, chamber and piano works, operas and ballets are enjoyed throughout major concert halls around the world
Becker, an associate professor of music at SUNY Plattsburgh, performs both locally and in venues across the country. Events this fall include a recital program with the Frontier Saxophone Quartet. Past highlights include a five-year celebration of her local concert series, concerts in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as a series of lecture recitals on the 32 Beethoven Sonatas. Becker has served as music director for numerous SUNY Plattsburgh musicals, as well as productions with the AuSable Valley Players. She was granted a Nuala McGann Drescher leave in the spring of 2010 to study the Beethoven sonatas with her former teacher, Christopher Taylor. Becker currently serves as artistic director of Champlain Valley Voices and SUNY Plattsburgh Choral Union.

New York 23rd Looking to Extend its Fifteen Minutes of Fame
According to The Hill newspaper, the special election race in New York’s 23rd congressional district is not quite over, as there remains a (remote) possibility that Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman could wind up with more votes than Democrat Bill Owens, who was seated in the House last week.
A state election official “said the state sent a letter to the House Clerk last week explaining that no winner had been determined in the 23rd district, and therefore the state had not certified the election. But the letter noted that Owens still led by about 3,000 votes, and that the special election was not contested — two factors that legally allowed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to swear in Owens on Friday.”
According to 1 Deschler’s Precedents § 3.5, “Where certificates of election have not been received, the House may by unanimous consent authorize the Speaker to administer the oath to Members-elect whose elections are not contested.” Thus, while the Republicans presumably could have objected to Owens being sworn in, their failure to do so meant that he could be seated prior to the receipt of a certificate of election.
What happens if the final count should show Hoffman ahead of Owens? The state election official says that “all ballots will be counted, and if the result changes, Owens will have to be removed.” But I am not sure that the matter is so simple. If Hoffman were to be certified as the winner, the House would still have to take action to remove Owens and seat Hoffman. Absent unanimous consent to such action, the matter would presumably be referred to the Committee on House Administration to conduct an election contest, which could drag on for months.

Not a Creature has Standing, Not Even the House?
When Attorney General Holder announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would no longer defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in cases where it was being challenged, he committed to “providing Congress a full and fair opportunity to participate in the litigation in those cases.” In response, the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) of the House of Representatives is seeking to intervene in a number of such cases, including Windsor v. United States, pending in the Southern District of New York.
DOJ does not object to BLAG’s intervention in Windsor, but it contends that the House’s interest in DOMA’s constitutionality is nothing more than a “generalized grievance” that is inadequate to give it standing. Accordingly, it proposes that BLAG be permitted to intervene only “to present arguments in support of the constitutionality of Section 3 of DOMA, consistent with [DOJ’s] role in this case as counsel for the United States.”
Under DOJ’s theory, it would retain exclusive control of the defense of the case, including control over procedural issues such as filing motions, making objections and appealing adverse decisions. DOJ promises that it will “file appropriate motions, purely as a procedural matter, to ensure that this Court can consider arguments on both sides of the constitutional issue and that the Court has jurisdiction to enter judgment on the basis of those arguments.” Notably, however, DOJ does not promise that it will necessarily appeal a judgment against the constitutionality of DOMA.
BLAG objects to DOJ’s position. It argues that DOJ is inappropriately attempting to relegate it to the status of a glorified amicus and “asserting a right to act as a gatekeeper for the House’s efforts to defend a validly enacted statute that the Department itself refuses to defend.” Accepting DOJ’s position would give it the ability to hamstring the House’s defense of DOMA, or any federal statute, thus effectively giving it “an extra-constitutional post-enactment veto over federal statutes to which it objects.”
Moreover, BLAG argues that DOJ’s position is inconsistent with INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919, 940 (1983) , where the Court stated that “Congress is the proper party to defend the validity of a statute when an agency of the government, as a defendant charged with enforcing the statute, agrees with plaintiffs that the statute is inapplicable or unconstitutional.” Chadha relied on this proposition to support its holding that there was a justiciable case or controversy, a conclusion that would make no sense unless Congress was considered to be a true party with independent standing.
BLAG’s reading of Chadha seems to be the more persuasive one. Therefore, BLAG should have standing so long as one makes the assumption that it is the same entity, for purposes of the standing analysis, as the House itself. This assumption is of yet unexamined, but may not remain so.

Kilbourn and Chapman and Rao. Oh my.
As it happens, the decision in Trump v. Mazars USA (D.C. Cir. Oct. 11, 2019) coincides nicely with our discussion of the congressional contempt power. Although Mazars involved the validity of a congressional subpoena, not the exercise of the contempt power per se, the cases we are about to encounter are quite relevant to an analysis of the D.C. Circuit’s opinion, particularly with regard to Judge Rao’s remarkable dissent.
Kilbourn v. Thompson
Following its decision in Anderson v. Dunn, 19 U.S. 204 (1821), the Supreme Court next had occasion to consider the contempt power in Kilbourn v. Thompson, 103 U.S. 168 (1880). Kilbourn arose out of a House special committee’s investigation into the bankruptcy of Jay Cooke & Co., a private firm with large investments in a somewhat shady “real estate pool”; the House resolution establishing the committee recited that the government of the United States was a creditor of the bankrupt firm as the result of “improvident deposits by the Secretary of the Navy” of public moneys at the firm. 103 U.S. at 171. The resolution further recited that the bankruptcy trustee “has recently made a settlement of the interest of the estate . . . to the disadvantage and loss, as it is alleged, of the numerous creditors of said estate, including the government of the United States, and . . . the courts are now powerless by reason of said settlement to afford adequate redress to said creditors.” Id.
Hallet Kilbourn, a real estate broker with knowledge of the private investments in question, was subpoenaed by the House to provide testimony and documents regarding the matter. He declined to do so, denying “the right of the House to investigate private business arbitrarily,” but stated that “if either the committee or the House would assert that the production of his private papers, or the revelation of his private business, would promote any public interest, or if any private individual would assert on oath that the papers asked for would lead to the detection of corruption, he would respond freely to all demands for information or papers.” 2 Hinds’ Precedents § 1609.
The House then ordered that the Speaker issue an arrest warrant for Kilbourn, pursuant to which the recalcitrant witness was brought before the bar of the House. When he continued to refuse to answer, the House held him in contempt and ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to keep him in custody until such time as he was willing to provide the information demanded. 103 U.S. at 175; 2 Hinds’ Precedents § 1609.
While Kilbourn was in custody, he was indicted by a federal grand jury under the criminal contempt of Congress statute. This precipitated a conflict between the legislative branch and the executive/judicial branches when the U.S. marshal, with a warrant from the D.C. court, attempted to take custody of Kilbourn from the Sergeant-at-Arms. 2 Hinds’ Precedents § 1609. The Sergeant-at-Arms refused, and the House actually considered a Blackstonian resolution that would have asserted that the House, not the courts, had the ultimate right to determine the disposition of the prisoner. Id. The House rejected this resolution, however, and authorized the Sergeant-at-Arms to obey the court’s writ of habeas corpus. Id. The court eventually determined that Kilbourn should be released by the Sergeant-at-Arms and taken into custody by the U.S. marshal. Id.
Kilbourn subsequently sued the House for false imprisonment. Perhaps due to the prior tension with the executive branch, the House was represented by private counsel in the case. See Representation of Congress and Congressional Interests in Court: Hearings Before the Subcomm. on Separation of Powers of the Senate Comm. on the Judiciary, 94th Cong., 2d sess. 511-12 (1974-75). For whatever reason, the House’s position was much less warmly received when it reached the Supreme Court than it had been in Anderson.
While the Anderson Court embraced the key arguments of the “pro-contempt” side of congressional debates (particularly the argument that the contempt power was an absolute necessity to protect the functioning of Congress), the Kilbourn Court adopts many of the principal arguments of congressional opponents of contempt. It begins with the observation that Congress’s powers are “dependent solely on the Constitution,” “either expressly or by fair implication.” 103 U.S. at 182. As no express power to punish contempts is granted, “advocates of this power have, therefore, resorted to an implication of its existence founded on two principal arguments . . . (1) its exercise by the House of Commons of England, from which country we, it is said, have derived our system of parliamentary law, and (2) the necessity of such a power to enable the two Houses of Congress to perform the duties and exercise the power the Constitution has conferred on them.” Id. at 182-83.

Representative Forsyth on Impeachment and the Contempt Power
As part of my series on impeachment and the contempt power, I have been reading the 1818 House debate on the contempt proceeding against Colonel John Anderson. I will have more to say on this subject presently, but today I want to flag an argument made by Representative Forsyth, who was one of the leading figures in the debate. The question before the House was whether it possessed the power to punish Anderson, who had attempted to bribe a member of the House. Forsyth argued strongly that the House did indeed possess this power.
In citing these remarks, it is important to emphasize that Anderson’s case had nothing whatsoever to do with impeachment or with any alleged misconduct by the president or any executive branch officer. Rather, Forsyth discusses impeachment (as did several others on his side of the argument) as evidence that the Constitution necessarily contemplated that the House could exercise the contempt power:
Judging that the time might arrive when a President would conspire with corrupt and ambitious men, of his own country or of a foreign nation, to change his temporary and limited authority to a permanent and despotic power, [the framers] supposed a sufficient barrier was erected to defeat such conspiracy, by giving to this House the power of impeachment, and the Senate the authority to judge and punish the offender, when brought to the bar by the charges of the people, and convicted by proper evidence. Has it not occurred to the members of this House, especially those [who argued the House lacked the power to punish for contempt], that the efficacy of this provision resides wholly in the power of the House and Senate, respectively, to issue process of attachment for contempt?
31 Annals of Congress 745 (emphasis added). Again, Forsyth is advancing a hypothetical that illustrates most clearly, in his view, that the House may punish for contempt. He continues:
A President forms treasonable designs against the United States. By one those fortunate events which, in the order of Providence, usually occurs to defeat the machinations of guilt, a partial discovery of the design is made, and an inquiry is instituted; you ascertain the sources from which which accurate and certain information is to be procured. How are you to compel the production of the treasonable correspondence in their custody? By attachment for contempt.
Id. (emphasis added). Forsyth had a vivid imagination, did he not?
But he doesn’t stop there. He anticipates the argument that a law could be passed making it a crime to withhold information from Congress (as it would be about 40 years later). Such a law would be inadequate:
Sir, it is vain to say we can provide by law for such an occurrence. Such provision is impossible. You make laws, but these laws are nugatory. You may provide penalties, but to inflict them must be judicial process, trial, conviction and sentence. The inevitable delay is ruinous to the country, and gives to the traitors the time to consummate their horrible designs. But even the guilty witness, the contemner of your authority, escapes the punishment provided by your law. The same Constitution under which you defined his offense, and annexed an appropriate punishment, gives to the President, for whom he commits it, the power of pardoning the offender. You have the consolation to know that he is convicted, and he has the consolation of laughing at an impotent branch of the Legislature, called, in derision, the Grand Inquest of the Nation!
Id. (emphasis added).
Note that Forsyth anticipated that a statutory contempt procedure would be inadequate because it would take too long and because the president would in any event pardon the guilty witness who was acting on his behalf. But he did not anticipate that the president could block prosecution in the first place.
Even Forsyth could not imagine the Office of Legal Counsel.
Inherent Contempt and Impeachment
Recently the Good Government Now organization (with which I am loosely affiliated) has been advocating the revival of inherent contempt as a means of compelling executive branch officials to provide information demanded by Congress. As you probably know (if you read this blog), inherent contempt allows either house of Congress to arrest individuals who defy its orders and imprison them until they comply. Under a proposal by my friend and former colleague Mort Rosenberg, the House would adopt a new inherent contempt procedure in which fines, rather than imprisonment, would be the principal sanction to compel executive branch officials to comply with subpoenas and other demands for information.
While I do not object to the use of inherent contempt in the proper circumstances, I have long been skeptical of using it as a means of resolving legislative-executive disputes over information. This is so both for constitutional and practical reasons. The constitutional issues we will get into in more detail in future posts. For now, the important point is that those issues arise primarily in the context of ordinary congressional oversight. The calculus is different in the context of a judicial proceeding such as impeachment. The argument for employing inherent contempt against recalcitrant witnesses, including executive branch officials, in an impeachment proceeding is constitutionally much stronger for reasons I will endeavor to explain in upcoming posts.
The practical problems, on the other hand, are another matter. See Andrew McCanse Wright, Congressional Conflict and Congressional Oversight, 98 Marq. L. Rev. 881, 933 (2104) (“To say the least, it would be impractical and unwise for congressional security forces to attempt to detain executive branch officials and haul them off to the congressional brig, although commentators occasionally call for it.”). For one thing, there is not actually any “congressional brig,” at least not one suitable for holding anyone for a significant period of time. For another, there is the “specter of interbranch violence,” particularly for detainees that have their own security details. See id. These problems are not ameliorated by the fact that the proceeding involves impeachment rather than oversight.
Arguably, the use of fines could help to address the practical problem. As a general rule, I doubt that Congress has the authority to impose fines as a form of punishment, but I think there may be a way to use them in the context of an impeachment proceeding that would stand up in court. Therefore, if the House is considering formally authorizing an impeachment proceeding, it should seriously consider a provision to authorize the use of inherent contempt, including monetary fines, against those who withhold information from the inquiry. Importantly, however, this authority should be limited to impeachment.
I will lay out the reasons for my position in a series of posts, beginning with some historical background on legislative privilege and contempt.
Impeachment and Constitutional Deliberation
The House Judiciary Committee has filed its long awaited lawsuit against Don McGahn, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from the court with respect to McGahn’s refusal to appear before the committee to testify regarding his knowledge of matters described in the report of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Specifically, the committee is interested in matters such as “how President Trump used his official power to oust Special Counsel Mueller and end his investigation; to force then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to transgress Department of Justice (DOJ) ethics rules to limit the scope of Mueller’s investigation; to demand that White House staff generate false accounts of the President’s conduct; and to influence witnesses not to cooperate with the investigation.” Complaint ¶ 2. The complaint repeatedly emphasizes that it needs this information in order to decide whether to recommend articles of impeachment against the president. See Complaint ¶¶ 1, 4, 10, 17, 19, 57, 61-62, 64, 95, 97, 100 & 105.
All of this is well and good. As we have discussed, McGahn is an important witness and there is no merit to DOJ’s claim that he is “absolutely immune” from testifying before Congress. The committee’s express invocation of the impeachment power further strengthens its claim for judicial relief and undermines what little persuasive value the OLC opinions on absolute immunity might otherwise have had.
It is important, however, not to conflate the committee’s litigation position and its constitutional responsibility regarding impeachment. The McGahn lawsuit is focused on substantiating specific allegations raised in the Mueller report, namely the obstruction of justice matters discussed in volume 2. See Complaint ¶ 1 (committee “is now determining whether to recommend articles of impeachment against the President based on the obstructive conduct described by the Special Counsel.”).
While the president’s conduct as described in volume 2 of the Mueller report clearly should be an element of any impeachment inquiry, it is questionable whether obstruction of justice alone can carry the weight of impeachment in this case. This is particularly true if one views obstruction as a specific statutory crime, rather than as a more colloquial term for President Trump’s implacable opposition to the Mueller investigation (or, for that matter, any other investigation he associates with the “deep state” or his political opponents).
For one thing, the special counsel declined to reach a conclusion as to whether Trump committed the crime of obstruction. Many believe he would have reached this conclusion had it not been for the OLC opinion prohibiting the indictment of a sitting president, but Mueller himself declined to substantiate this theory and it seems inadvisable to place much reliance on an unprovable hypothetical.
In addition, there are serious legal questions regarding whether the president’s exercise of his Article II powers, such as firing the FBI director or seeking to fire the special counsel, can constitute criminal obstruction. Professor Jack Goldsmith argues that “many of the 10 events outlined in Volume II of the Mueller report could not even theoretically be crimes under the obstruction statutes as they are currently written.” This is a controversial position, but it is not a frivolous one. It is also not an issue likely to be settled in the course of an impeachment proceeding.
Finally, focusing on questions of criminal obstruction requires the committee to evaluate Trump’s state of mind. See Complaint ¶ 66 (“McGahn’s testimony would provide significant evidence of the President’s motivations for his actions.”). I am skeptical, however, that McGahn is going to be able to shed much light on the president’s motives. Other presidents (Nixon and Clinton) have attempted to obstruct legal investigations or proceedings, but they did so only when they felt they had no other choice. Trump’s words and actions in general, and specifically in connection with the Russia probe, appear to be visceral in nature and to have little connection to a rational calculation of the consequences. Perhaps this is a clever strategy on Trump’s part, but I expect McGahn is as perplexed as the rest of us.
This is by no means to suggest that Trump’s conduct is unimpeachable, so to speak. The constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors is quite different than the criminal standard for obstruction of justice. Thus, Goldsmith observes that “[i]n combination with Trump’s other abuses of power over the past two and a half years, I have little trouble concluding that Trump committed impeachable offenses, should Congress want to pursue that option.” The point here is that Congress’s task is more complicated than simply evaluating a handful of presidential actions to determine whether they satisfy the elements of criminal obstruction of justice. It must decide how to interpret and apply the constitutional standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” which is by design a more discretionary and less determinate function than that performed by a criminal court. See Neal Katyal, Impeachment as Congressional Constitutional Interpretation, 63 Law & Contemp. Problems 169, 175-79 (2000). And it must do so in the context of Trump’s highly unusual behavior in office. Continue reading “Impeachment and Constitutional Deliberation”
I’ll Take My Grand Jury Materials with a Hint of Impeachment
Last Friday, July 26, the House Judiciary Committee filed an application with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking release of certain grand jury materials related to the report and investigation of former Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III. The committee contends that the Mueller report “provided Members of Congress with substantial evidence that the President of the United States repeatedly attempted to undermine and derail a criminal investigation of the utmost importance to the nation.” Application at 1. Accordingly, “the House must have access to all the relevant facts and consider whether to exercise its full Article I powers, including a constitutional power of the utmost gravity– approval of articles of impeachment.” Id.
Some may view this, from a political perspective, as “impeachment lite” (Twitter wags had a variety of other terms like “impeachment-tinged” and “impeachment-infused”). From a legal perspective, however, I think this is probably good enough, at least for this particular controversy. Here’s why.
The committee’s primary argument is that the court should authorize the release of the grand jury information pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E), which provides “[t]he court may authorize disclosure of a grand jury matter . . . (i) preliminarily to or in connection with a judicial proceeding.” This provision is applicable here, the committee contends, because it is conducting an investigation to determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment with respect to the president. Application at 30-31. It bears emphasis that the committee does not contend this provision applies to congressional investigations outside the context of impeachment, nor would there be any basis for it to do so.
As we have discussed, controlling authority in the D.C. Circuit establishes that an impeachment proceeding qualifies as a “judicial proceeding” within the meaning of Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E)(i). Specifically, a Senate impeachment trial is judicial in character and a House impeachment inquiry is therefor preliminary to or in connection with a judicial proceeding for these purposes. Application at 28-29.
To be sure, there is no Supreme Court authority on point, and it is possible that the Court would conclude that the term “judicial proceeding” refers to a proceeding conducted by the judiciary, not merely a proceeding that is judicial in character. (Of course, a Senate impeachment trial of the president is presided over by the chief justice, somewhat blurring this distinction.). However, if the Court were to reject the committee’s position in this respect, I strongly suspect that it would accept its alternative argument (currently foreclosed in the D.C. Circuit) that a federal court retains inherent authority to disclose grand jury materials under these circumstances. See Application at 40-41. I do not believe the Supreme Court would hold that there is no legal mechanism by which grand jury material relevant to impeachment can be transmitted to the House (or Senate), a conclusion that would be in considerable tension with the Constitution’s preference (at least) for impeachment rather than indictment of a sitting president. See, e.g., Brett M. Kavanaugh, The President and the Independent Counsel, 86 Geo. L. J. 2133, 2158 (1998) (citing with approval President Nixon’s argument that “[w]hatever the grand jury may claim about a President, its only possible proper recourse is to refer such facts, with the consent of the court, to the House and leave the conclusions of criminality to the body which is constitutionally empowered to make them”); see also id. at 2156 (“any information gathered with respect to executive branch officials that could reflect negatively on their fitness for office should be disclosed to Congress”).
The more difficult issue for the committee is establishing that disclosure of grand jury materials in these circumstances would be for purposes of impeachment, rather than simply for general oversight. As I have written elsewhere, the committee would clearly be in a stronger position if the House had formally initiated an impeachment inquiry. That being said, nothing in the language of Rule 6(e)(3)(E)(i) expressly requires the formal initiation of any particular proceeding and to the contrary the rule suggests that the disclosure may occur before (“preliminarily to”) such initiation.
Here it is worth noting that while it is the Senate impeachment trial that has been held to be a “judicial proceeding” for these purposes, there is also a strong argument that the House’s exercise of its power of impeachment likewise constitutes a judicial proceeding. Certainly the House’s power is judicial, rather than legislative, in nature. It is possible, however, to argue that the House’s proceeding are less judicial than the Senate’s because the latter performs the adjudicative function of a criminal court while the former performs the investigative function of a grand jury. In any event, it probably makes little difference to the outcome of the committee’s application because in either case the committee must persuade the court that its current investigation is sufficiently tied to the impeachment process.
To meet this burden, the committee points to the following: (1) impeachment falls within the committee’s jurisdiction and articles of impeachment (including in the current congress H. Res. 13, a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Trump) are invariably referred to the committee; (2) the committee has repeatedly indicated in various ways, such as statements by the chairman and a contempt report adopted by vote fo the committee, that it is assessing whether to recommend articles of impeachment with respect to the president; (3) the House Rules Committee, in its report accompanying H. Res. 430, similarly explained that the committee was considering whether to recommend such articles of impeachment; and (4) the full House voted to adopt H. Res. 430, which confirms the committee’s investigatory authority with regard to the Mueller report and related matters and expressly authorizes it to continue its efforts to obtain information, including by filing an application for grand jury material pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E). This authorization by the House implicitly recognizes that the committee is seeking grand jury information for impeachment purposes since, as mentioned previously, there is no other basis upon which the committee could avail itself of this provision.
While there are no guarantees in litigation, in my view this is a pretty strong case. Given the language of the rule and the past flexible practice in the context of impeachment, the committee should prevail in its application. Whatever the outcome, though, it will be interesting to see how the Justice Department responds.

The Time Has Come: A Proposed Article of Impeachment Against Donald John Trump
The following was drafted in February and therefore does not reflect any information obtained from the Mueller report (which I have to admit I have not yet read in its entirety). There may well be additions and modifications that suggest themselves from that report (one area in particular would be to add specifics regarding pardon discussions with potential witnesses), but at the moment I am unaware of anything that convinces me the thrust of any impeachment effort should be fundamentally reoriented from what is proposed below.
It should be noted that this is a single article of impeachment. Perhaps needless to say, this is not because the scope of the president’s misconduct has been so narrow that only one article could be substantiated. To the contrary, as Professor Keith Whittington has aptly observed, the range of the president’s faults and misbehavior is so breathtakingly wide that it is a challenge to present them as part of a larger picture (or to choose among the many unflattering pictures that might be drawn).
It should also be noted that this article does not charge the president with committing any federal crimes. Consistent with my understanding of the nature of impeachment, the article focuses on conduct that is inherently wrongful or in the most charitable light reflects gross negligence that is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from such wrongful conduct, but it does not attempt to demonstrate that this conduct satisfies the elements of any statutory offense.
Finally, the article has only the barest reference to pre-presidential conduct. This is not because pre-presidential conduct is necessarily irrelevant to an impeachment proceeding or even that an article of impeachment could not in some circumstances be wholly based on pre-presidential conduct. The proper relationship of impeachment to conduct that precedes the taking of the oath and the assumption of office, however, is controversial, particularly with regard to matters widely known by the voters at the time of the election. It is in my judgment unnecessary and distracting to focus on them here.
Any feedback of the constructive variety would be deeply appreciated.
February __, 2019
______________________________ submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Donald John Trump, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT
In his conduct while President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has engaged in conduct that resulted in misuse and abuse of his high office, and, for self-protection or other reasons of personal interest, has (1) impaired and impeded the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries; and (2) undermined confidence in and the authority of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the United States, in that:
Donald J. Trump sought to hinder and impede lawful investigations by federal authorities into the conduct of individuals employed by or associated with his 2016 presidential campaign, including General Michael Flynn, by improperly seeking to influence and intimidate the then-Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey, with respect to such investigations.
Donald J. Trump, having concluded that James Comey lacked sufficient personal loyalty and could not be pressured to conduct the aforementioned investigations in a manner consistent with his personal interests and wishes, terminated James Comey as Director of the FBI.
In an effort to undermine the credibility of federal investigations involving his 2016 presidential campaign and/or his business or personal affairs, Donald J. Trump has engaged in a pattern of publicly disparaging, defaming and demeaning officials serving in the executive branch under his own administration, including Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He has publicly and routinely attacked the integrity of numerous officials at the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s office, including both career public servants and officers of the United States he himself appointed with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. He has publicly and repeatedly referred to Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election as a “hoax” and a “witch hunt,” even though this inquiry was lawfully commenced by the directive of the Deputy Attorney General, whom he appointed with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. These statements had the purpose and effect of undermining public confidence in law enforcement agencies and inquiries that might threaten his personal interests.
Donald J. Trump repeatedly and publicly criticized his own Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, for making decisions in accordance with the Attorney General’s constitutional oath and ethical obligations, rather than with the personal and political interests of Donald J. Trump. For example, he blamed Attorney General Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, even though this recusal was in accordance with the advice of Department of Justice ethics officials. Thus, he tweeted on June 5, 2018: “The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself . . . I would quickly have picked someone else.”
Donald J. Trump further has sought to undermine the credibility of federal law enforcement by openly politicizing the activities of the Department of Justice. He has complained about the Department’s failure to investigate his political adversaries by, for example, tweeting on July 25, 2017: “Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!” He has also complained about the Department’s prosecution of his political allies. Following federal indictments of two incumbent Members of Congress, he tweeted on September 3, 2018: “Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff . . . . . .”
Donald J. Trump, having concluded that Jeff Sessions could not be pressured or intimidated to subordinate his constitutional oath and ethical obligations to Donald J. Trump’s personal and political interests, asked for and received his resignation immediately following the 2018 congressional elections. Even after Sessions’s departure from office, Donald J. Trump continued to blame him for the investigation into Russian election interference, tweeting on December 16, 2018 that “Jeff Sessions should be ashamed of himself for allowing this total HOAX to get started in the first place!”
Donald J. Trump has impaired and impeded the due and proper administration of justice by the reckless and impulsive use and threatened use of his constitutional power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States. He has granted clemency based on personal and political favoritism, without consulting the Department of Justice or considering the effect of his actions on the administration of justice. He has boasted about the breadth of his pardon power, even tweeting on June 24, 2018: “As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!” The purpose and effect of these actions and statements is to send the message that loyalty to Donald J. Trump will be rewarded, to undermine respect for lawful inquiries and judicial proceedings, and to encourage defiance of such inquiries and proceedings as Donald J. Trump regards as “witch hunts” or otherwise disfavors.
Donald J. Trump’s most egregious abuse of the pardon power occurred on August 25, 2017, when he granted a pardon to Joe Arpaio, who had been held in criminal contempt of a federal court order. The order of contempt had been issued less than one month earlier, on July 31, 2017, when a federal judge held that Arpaio had willfully violated a prior federal court order, issued by a different judge, requiring then-Maricopa to cease racially profiling Latinos and detaining them in violation of their constitutional rights. Donald J. Trump pardoned Arpaio without consulting the Department of Justice, without permitting the judicial process to run its normal course, and without considering the importance of the contempt power to protecting the integrity of the judicial system and the constitutional rights of Americans. In so doing Donald J. Trump favored a loyal political ally over the rule of law and the independence of the judicial branch.
Consistent with this disregard for the federal judiciary, Donald J. Trump has intemperately and improperly attacked federal judges. For example, on February 4, 2017, the day after U.S. District Court Judge James Robart issued a temporary injunction against the executive order known as the “travel ban,” Donald J. Trump tweeted: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” This statement was not an isolated incident, but is consistent with language Donald J. Trump has employed toward the judiciary on other occasions both during his presidential campaign and his presidency. By employing such rhetoric, unmindful of the high duties of his office and the dignity and proprieties thereof, Donald J. Trump has attempted to impair and destroy the regard and respect of the people of the United States for the federal judiciary and thereby to deprive its judgments of legitimacy to the extent they conflict with his personal and political interests.
Donald J. Trump has also repeatedly sought to bring into disgrace, ridicule, hatred, contempt and reproach the Congress of the United States and individual members thereof. He has particularly sought to excite public odium and resentment toward members of his own party who have criticized him or his conduct in office and who have thereby failed, in his mind, to show the proper loyalty. In so doing he has disregarded the status of Congress has a separate and independent branch of government, and he has sought to diminish and undermine the legislative power of inquiry and oversight.
Donald J. Trump has caused or permitted false, misleading or incomplete information to be provided to the Congress of the United States. During 2017 and 2018, congressional committees, including the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, conducted investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Agents and associates of Donald J. Trump provided false, misleading or incomplete information in connection with these investigations. For example, on or about April 27, 2018, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released its report and findings regarding the election interference investigation. Although Donald J. Trump tweeted about the report and findings, he did not inform the committee that they were based in part on false, misleading or incomplete information, including testimony of Michael Cohen, Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, which testimony Donald J. Trump knew or should have known was false, misleading or incomplete. Donald J. Trump’s failure to take reasonable steps to ensure that congressional committee received accurate and complete information regarding the activities of his agents, associates and campaign impaired and impeded the conduct of lawful inquiries of the legislative branch.
In all of this, Donald John Trump has acted in a manner so as to bring disrepute on the Presidency and engaged in a pattern of conduct contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
Can Virginia Lieutenant Governor Fairfax Be Impeached? It’s Complicated.
As I wrote a post recently regarding whether Virginia governor Ralph Northam could be impeached for a racist photo that appeared on his medical school yearbook page decades earlier (I said no), I temporized regarding a more difficult hypothetical. Suppose that after an individual has assumed office, it comes to light that he committed a serious crime, such as murder or rape, years before taking office and completely unrelated to his political life? Note that this question has implications for whether a president can be indicted because, if a president can neither be indicted nor impeached for some serious criminal offenses preceding his time in office, it means that he would be effectively immune from accountability for the remainder of his term.
Thanks to Virginia lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax (good job, Virginia), this hypothetical has come to life. Fairfax is accused of two separate sexual assaults, both of which long preceded his time in office. Fairfax denies the allegations. A member of the Virginia House of Delegates has announced that if Fairfax does not resign, he will introduce an impeachment resolution as early as Monday. This raises the question whether the allegations against Fairfax are grounds for impeachment.
This is not an easy question. In his recent book, Professor Michael Gerhardt, one of the leading scholars on impeachment, discusses the hypothetical of a presidential candidate “who lied about committing a murder during the campaign but then later is discovered to have been responsible for that crime.” Michael J. Gerhardt, Impeachment: What Everyone Needs to Know 56 (Oxford U. Press 2018). Gerhardt notes the recent case of federal judge Thomas Porteous, who was impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate in part based upon lying during the confirmation process about corrupt behavior as a state judge. (We also discussed the Porteous case here).
Continue reading “Can Virginia Lieutenant Governor Fairfax Be Impeached? It’s Complicated.”
Can Governor Northam be Impeached?
Perhaps I should elaborate. Article IV, section 17 of the Virginia Constitution (adopted in 1971) provides: “The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, judges, members of the State Corporation Commission, and all officers appointed by the Governor or elected by the General Assembly, offending against the Commonwealth by malfeasance in office, corruption, neglect of duty, or other high crime or misdemeanor may be impeached by the House of Delegates and prosecuted before the Senate, which shall have the sole power to try impeachments.”
This language is identical to that contained in the Virginia Constitution of 1902, except that the latter referred to the “State” rather than the “Commonwealth.” The reference to “high crimes and misdemeanors,” language also contained in the U.S. Constitution, dates back to the Virginia Constitution of 1830, which provided: “The Governor, the Judges of the Court of Appeals and Superior Courts, and all others offending against the State, either by maladministration, corruption, neglect of duty, or any other high crime or misdemeanor, shall be impeachable by the House of Delegates; such impeachment to be prosecuted before the Senate, which shall have the sole power to try all impeachments.”
It is clear that Governor Northam has not committed “malfeasance in office, corruption or neglect of duty.” This leaves “other high crime or misdemeanor” as the only charge that conceivably could be brought against him for the offending conduct (which, in case you have been under a rock for the past 48 hours, consists of offensive and racist photos on his medical school yearbook page in 1984).
The term “high crime and misdemeanor” as used in the U.S. Constitution is broad and, as we have discussed before, not necessarily limited to conduct while in office. There is precedent for the proposition (again, at the federal level) that conduct predating the office in question may constitute a high crime or misdemeanor if the misconduct related to a different office and/or can be causally linked to the gaining of the current office. Thus, for example, if an officeholder were to attain office by corruptly rigging an election, there is a strong argument that this could provide the basis for impeachment and removal.
In Northam’s case, one would have to argue that his failure to reveal his prior misbehavior, decades prior to his election as governor, constituted a fraud on the electorate that resulted in his attaining the governorship. Not only would that mean that every untruth told during a political campaign would be potentially impeachable, but that an officeholder could be impeached simply for failing to volunteer damaging information.
To be sure, impeachment has both legal/judicial and political attributes, and the latter is reflected in the “awful discretion which a court of impeachments must necessarily have” such that it “can never be tied down by such strict rules, either in the delineation of the offence by the prosecutors, or in the construction of it by the judges, as in common cases serve to limit the discretion of courts in favour of personal security.” The Federalist No. 65 (Hamilton). But to extend that discretion so far as to encompass any distasteful behavior at any point in an officeholder’s life would be to disregard entirely the judicial aspects of the proceeding and to make impeachment little more than a measure of political popularity.
It is difficult to draw a precise line as to when conduct preceding an officeholder’s tenure should be considered potentially impeachable. But non-criminal conduct that occurred decades before taking office cannot be close to that line.
Impeachment and the Cohen Allegations
Things are moving ahead at a rapid pace, and I am therefore going to interrupt my discussion of impeachment and indictment to discuss some breaking news. As you may have heard, it is being reported that “President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.”
Because the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) issued its Russia report in the spring of last year, we have a pretty good idea of what Cohen told the committee and how his testimony may have influenced its conclusions. First, let’s review the relevant sections of the report, as summarized in an earlier blog post:
[T]he report discusses the business relationship between Trump and Russia. For example, while Trump was in Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant (which he owned at the time), he discussed with his business partners, the Agalarovs, the possibility of constructing a Trump Tower Moscow. Subsequently, during the presidential campaign, Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, worked on a potential Trump Tower Moscow deal with Felix Sater, a colorful and shady Russian-American businessman who had pleaded guilty in the 1990s to participation in a stock fraud scheme allegedly orchestrated by the Russian mafia.
In late 2015 and early 2016, Cohen and Sater had a number of communications related to the Trump Tower Moscow project. Many of these conversations involved the need to get Russian government backing for the project, including “an attempt to broker a meeting or other ties between candidate Trump and President Putin.” Sater claimed, perhaps falsely or with exaggeration, to have connections to Putin and other Russian government officials who would support the project. He also suggested that cementing a business deal between Putin and Trump would benefit the latter politically. In a November 3, 2015 email to Cohen, Sater wrote: “Buddy our boy can become President of the USA and we can engineer it. . . . [If] Putin gets on stage with Donald for a ribbon cutting for Trump Moscow, . . . Donald owns the republican nomination.”
Much or all of this may have been grandiose puffery on Sater’s part, but Cohen was not merely pretending to represent Trump and the Trump Organization. Whether his clients were specifically aware of his communications with Sater, there does not seem to be any doubt they approved his efforts to move the Trump Tower Moscow forward in the midst of the presidential campaign or that they understood this would require the approval and support of the Russian government.
The Trump Tower evidence laid out by the committee would seem to establish, at the very least, (1) a conflict of interest that might reasonably be thought to explain Trump’s pro-Russia views and (2) corroboration of other evidence discussed in the report suggesting that Trump and/or his associates expected and welcomed Russian assistance in the campaign.
Since the issuance of the HPSCI report, additional facts have come to light regarding this project. For example, Cohen admitted that he lied to Congress when he claimed that the discussions regarding Trump Tower Moscow ended in January 2016; it appears that they continued until June of that year. It also transpired that Trump himself signed a letter of intent for the project in October 2015.
Note that even if everything Cohen had told HPSCI was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, his testimony should have been extremely troubling, to say the least. A candidate (1) with unusually pro-Russian policy positions, a campaign manager with a history of corrupt Russian dealings, and a number of campaign advisors with questionable Russian connections; (2) whose campaign engaged in inappropriate and ill-advised contacts with Russia, such as the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower New York (which HPSCI said evinced “poor judgment”); (3) whose praise for and campaign’s communications with Wikileaks, a hostile foreign intelligence service linked to Russia, HPSCI found “to be highly objectionable and inconsistent with U.S. national security interests”; and (4) who encouraged and benefitted from election interference by Russia and Wikileaks, also had business dealings with Russia during the campaign (i.e. for at least seven months after Trump announced his candidacy), in which the approval of high-ranking Russian officials would have bestowed a major financial benefit on the candidate.
Standing alone, these facts strongly suggest that Trump’s Russia policies may have been influenced by his financial interests and that Russia had a motive to help Trump win the election because it believed these financial interests would cause him to favor Russia. Trump’s “defense” of this conduct was as follows: “There was a good chance I wouldn’t have won, in which case I would have gotten back into the business, and why should I lose lots of opportunities?” This is hardly reassuring, particularly given that Trump still owns a large business organization which, as far as we know, continues to look for opportunities in Russia and other hostile foreign countries.
Be that as it may, the HPSCI report states: “The Committee determined that the Trump Tower Moscow project did not progress beyond an early developmental phase, and that this potential licensing deal was not related to the Trump campaign.” The committee made this determination based on evidence which included Cohen’s false statement that the Trump Tower Moscow project petered out in January 2016, around the time the first Republican primaries began.
In fact, according to Cohen’s subsequent guilty plea, the negotiations went on until approximately June 2016, during which time Cohen had undisclosed communications with Russian officials as well as Trump and members of the Trump family regarding the project. In addition, during this period Cohen agreed to travel to Russia in connection with the project and also took steps to arrange a trip to Russia for Trump himself. Although it is not clear exactly how seriously the latter was considered, Cohen apparently discussed the idea with Trump and others, and contemplated the possibility of Trump traveling to Russia either immediately before or after accepting the Republican nomination. The possibility of Trump meeting with Russian President Putin during this trip was also discussed.
Interestingly, Cohen pleaded guilty to making a false statement only to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), perhaps because HPSCI would not provide the evidence needed to establish that his misrepresentation was “material” to its investigation. Nevertheless, it seems likely that a disinterested factfinder would find that his misrepresentation was material to both the HPSCI and SSCI investigations because materiality requires merely that the false statement have a “natural tendency to influence, or be capable of influencing, the decisionmaking body to which it is addressed,” not that it actually influenced the decisionmaker.
For purposes of discussion, I assume that if Trump directed Cohen to make these false statements to HPSCI and SSCI, he is guilty of obstruction of Congress. Whether or not the special counsel has the evidence to prove this crime beyond a reasonable doubt, however, it remains the position of the Department of Justice that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Indeed, as recently as a few days ago, Bill Barr, the nominee for attorney general (and someone I know well and think highly of), told the Senate Judiciary Committee he sees no reason to revisit the Justice Department’s longstanding position on this issue.
Thus, as I suggested in my last post (and will continue to discuss), impeachment, not indictment, is the only practical option for addressing presidential misconduct at the present time. If congressional Democrats are demanding an investigation of the latest revelations (as well they should), they have only themselves to petition for redress of grievances.
It is true that the House (or Senate, for that matter) can investigate this issue without instituting a formal impeachment inquiry. However, instituting such an inquiry sooner rather than later provides at least one advantage. Ordinarily it is extremely difficult for Congress to get evidence from an ongoing criminal investigation (it isn’t that easy to get it from a closed investigation for that matter, as discussed here pages 14-18). But since the president is subject only to impeachment, not indictment, the rationale for allowing an impeachment inquiry immediate access to this information is much stronger.
As former acting solicitor general Neal Katyal writes, “[t]o say that a prosecutor cannot indict a sitting president is, by definition, to say that the prosecutor’s evidence must be given to Congress so it may decide whether the president should remain in office.” While I don’t agree with everything Katyal says in this piece, I totally agree with that.

President of Haiti Assassinated
Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in an attack on his private residence in Port-au-Prince at 1:00am local time on the 7th of July, 2021.
According to news reports, the First Lady Matine Moïse has also been injured in the encounter and has been hospitalised in South Florida. As per reports she is in a stable yet critical condition.
President Jovenel Moïse
In a statement made by interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph, it was announced that the President’s residence was charged by a group of unidentified armed men with suspected “foreign elements”. The Prime Minister further pacified the public by stating that “all measures are being taken to guarantee the continuance of the state and to protect the nation.”
The President had held office since February 2017, but repeatedly faced charges of corruption and was often met with recurring and violent ‘anti-government’ protests.
First Lady Matine Moïse
The ‘PetroCaribe’ scandal in 2020 was the most recent incident. Having denied any part of this road building project, the President went on to change the constitution, giving the government more power. Claiming to “end the bickering”, the President, though satisfied, faced immense backlash following the new constitution, given the dictatorial history of the country. After the closure of his parliament, the broken political system was brought to light, and his extended period in office was further criticized.
Hours after the deadly attack, police chief Leon Charles stated that the assassins “will be killed and captured.” Four of the suspected perpetrators have been shot by security forces while two others have been detained. The police chief claims that the attackers were intercepted as they left the crime scene, and have since been in combat with armed forces.
Any links to the US drug agents to be behind the attack have been proven false. The “state of siege” has further enabled the use of the military for police roles and extensions of executive powers until elections can be called for.
The UN Security Council is set to hold a ‘closed-door’ meeting on Thursday, 8th July, and have encouraged all political stakeholders in Haiti to refrain from any acts of incitement or violence.
The Prime Minister has confirmed that the safety and security of the nation remains “under control.” He has, however, declared a state of emergency.
World leaders including US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson have expressed their condolences.

Environmental Sustainability: Business Strategies to Consider
In the past few years, there are many businesses have been switching to sustainable choices. This isn’t a surprise when many of their target markets have become even more environmentally conscious. In fact, recent studies have shown that many customers prefer sustainable companies over ones that merely produce products for profit.
Not only does promoting sustainability help with the environment, but this is known for contributing to a significant improvement in the company’s reputation and public image. Fortunately, there are a variety of strategies that can help with sustainability. Here’s what you’ll need to know.
Investing in Newer Equipment
First and foremost, one of the most effective ways of sustainability while also improving your business’s efficiency and general performance is by investing in newer state-of-the-art equipment. Unfortunately, many corporations and business owners aren’t inclined to invest in newer equipment since they’ll need to spend more than usual when there is still functional equipment.
However, older equipment will lose much of its efficiency from wear and tear, especially if specific components need to be replaced and repaired. This will eventually lead to equipment getting replaced. The last thing that employers want is operations grinding to a halt due to problems with machinery. That said, investing in newer equipment is considered one of the best ways of preventing a standstill in daily operations. At the same time, this is an excellent way of maximizing workers’ productivity, especially in the manufacturing and industrial sectors.
Fortunately, you won’t have to look far since sustainable injection molding manufacturers can create eco-friendly products. This equipment can be used in various sectors, including food processing, oil and gas production, and even wastewater management.
Recycling More
Another important strategy that can help with sustainability at the workplace is recycling products, trash, and waste. Although this might seem like an obvious strategy that many business organizations should be mindful of, many businesses take the process of recycling and re-using products for granted.
Many businesses recycle, but it’s only towards a certain degree. Most companies are not aware that it’s possible to take recycling further and reduce greenhouse gas emissions without sacrificing expenditure.
Like in the previous section, businesses involved in the manufacturing of goods can avail of state-of-the-art environmentally-friendly equipment that can reuse and recycle raw materials that have already been used. Not only will this cut down on waste, but this can also reduce the cost of some raw materials, especially when you can use them right after. This makes this strategy one of the most effective ways of increasing your company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) score.
Promoting Remote Work and Telecommunication
Last but not least, one of the best ways of increasing sustainability is by taking up a more “remote” approach to your daily operations. Although some businesses and industries might need workers to come in because most of their tasks will require physical labor, some industries won’t necessarily need people to go to the workplace since they can submit their work digitally. For instance, office workers will finish some of their work from the comfort of their own homes.
Since we live in an age of data and information, we don’t necessarily need to work at the office since we can have a work-from-home set-up. Not only will this cut down on time required for traveling from your home to the workplace, but this can also help ensure that workers are more productive.
The remote work setup has proven to be quite effective since the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is known for reducing the amount of foot traffic at the workplace while also helping greenhouse gas emissions. It’s also known that the work-from-home setup has also allowed workers to become more productive. In fact, many workers are considering remote work because it saves more money and is generally easier to do.
As you can see, there are various ways to promote sustainability for your business or organization. Whether it’s migrating towards a digital platform to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, making some crucial changes to your product, cutting down on energy spending, or investing in more efficient equipment, these strategies are a tried and tested way of leading towards a more sustainable workplace.
Still, it’s essential to keep in mind that whatever strategy you’re going for should be compatible and viable for the nature of your industry. Remember: giving back to the environment won’t only give you a myriad of advantages, but it’s also a great way of increasing your profits. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11586 | {"url": "https://www.poppolling.com/environmental-sustainability/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.poppolling.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:13:25Z", "digest": "sha1:K72QRGZ2JEGGHP2IOUKI3FDKWWGFHXIB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4853, 4853.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4853, 6530.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4853, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4853, 79.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4853, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4853, 184.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4853, 0.47835738]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4853, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4853, 0.04889]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4853, 0.03442255]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4853, 0.02544275]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4853, 0.00623597]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4853, 0.00798204]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4853, 0.00698429]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4853, 0.00221976]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4853, 0.12430633]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4853, 0.43783069]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4853, 5.30291005]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4853, 5.28245165]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4853, 756.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 395, 1.0], [395, 686, 1.0], [686, 715, 0.0], [715, 1093, 1.0], [1093, 1655, 1.0], [1655, 1909, 1.0], [1909, 1924, 0.0], [1924, 2229, 1.0], [2229, 2437, 1.0], [2437, 2923, 1.0], [2923, 2967, 0.0], [2967, 3441, 1.0], [3441, 3737, 1.0], [3737, 4168, 1.0], [4168, 4572, 1.0], [4572, 4853, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 395, 0.0], [395, 686, 0.0], [686, 715, 0.0], [715, 1093, 0.0], [1093, 1655, 0.0], [1655, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 1924, 0.0], [1924, 2229, 0.0], [2229, 2437, 0.0], [2437, 2923, 0.0], [2923, 2967, 0.0], [2967, 3441, 0.0], [3441, 3737, 0.0], [3737, 4168, 0.0], [4168, 4572, 0.0], [4572, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 62, 6.0], [62, 395, 51.0], [395, 686, 44.0], [686, 715, 4.0], [715, 1093, 54.0], [1093, 1655, 88.0], [1655, 1909, 35.0], [1909, 1924, 2.0], [1924, 2229, 45.0], [2229, 2437, 30.0], [2437, 2923, 76.0], [2923, 2967, 5.0], [2967, 3441, 79.0], [3441, 3737, 54.0], [3737, 4168, 72.0], [4168, 4572, 63.0], [4572, 4853, 48.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 395, 0.0], [395, 686, 0.0], [686, 715, 0.0], [715, 1093, 0.0], [1093, 1655, 0.0], [1655, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 1924, 0.0], [1924, 2229, 0.0], [2229, 2437, 0.0], [2437, 2923, 0.0], [2923, 2967, 0.0], [2967, 3441, 0.0], [3441, 3737, 0.0], [3737, 4168, 0.00473934], [4168, 4572, 0.0], [4572, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 395, 0.0], [395, 686, 0.0], [686, 715, 0.0], [715, 1093, 0.0], [1093, 1655, 0.0], [1655, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 1924, 0.0], [1924, 2229, 0.0], [2229, 2437, 0.0], [2437, 2923, 0.0], [2923, 2967, 0.0], [2967, 3441, 0.0], [3441, 3737, 0.0], [3737, 4168, 0.0], [4168, 4572, 0.0], [4572, 4853, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 62, 0.08064516], [62, 395, 0.00900901], [395, 686, 0.01030928], [686, 715, 0.10344828], [715, 1093, 0.00529101], [1093, 1655, 0.0088968], [1655, 1909, 0.00787402], [1909, 1924, 0.13333333], [1924, 2229, 0.00655738], [2229, 2437, 0.00961538], [2437, 2923, 0.01234568], [2923, 2967, 0.09090909], [2967, 3441, 0.00632911], [3441, 3737, 0.00675676], [3737, 4168, 0.02088167], [4168, 4572, 0.0049505], [4572, 4853, 0.00711744]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4853, 0.44667703]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4853, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4853, 0.04813182]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4853, -275.99156043]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4853, 98.38458728]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4853, -259.50609543]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4853, 35.0]]} |

But before you think about going to bed, you should discover a little more about the cliff-top fort in the heart of the historic old town of Angra, which is sure to feature in your dreams:. The Fort of São Sebastião guards the entrance to the port of Pipas. This is where the ships sailing between Brazil and India used to stop off, loaded with precious cargoes that English and French pirates found impossible to resist. Dom Sebastian of Portugal, aware of the island´s strategic importance, had this fort built to protect the shipyards and docks supporting Portugal´s maritime operations. The fort was of paramount importance as a defensive position and a military residence for hundreds of years. In the early 21st century, after both the fort and the entire historic old town itself were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the need for comprehensive repairs to the walls and buildings resulted in the fort being transformed into a pousada.
And as a pousada, this hotel in Angra do Heroísmo will give you the best perspective of the town and the island. The sweeping lawns and old walls contrast with the bright buildings and their straight-line architecture in which you can take your rest. The ever-present green and blue provide the ambience for an oasis of tranquility, with a breathtaking view over the town and the immense Atlantic Ocean. After checking out your room, take a stroll around the walls and find the best vantage point for you to take a dip in the pool without ever losing sight of the sea.

New Westbrook concert venue draws noise complaints
Thumping bass and booming music carried through the mild spring evening Sunday as far as Pride's Corner and into the Back Cove area of Portland and beyond.

Maine’s newest concert venue at Westbrook’s Rock Row development finished its first show Sunday evening, but not before neighbors for miles around complained of the noise.
Thumping bass and booming music from hip-hop and funk artist Anderson .Paak carried through the mild spring evening as far as Pride’s Corner and into the Back Cove area of Portland until 11 p.m., bringing some neighbors to the brink.
Concert review: Three all-world performers open 1st season at Rock Row
Although Westbrook police declined to say Monday how many complaints they received, the city of Portland’s online customer service portal tracked more than a dozen complaints, including from the Nason’s Corner neighborhood, Back Cove, Deering Center and other places.
The concert venue is the first aspect of the new Rock Row development to open to the public. Eventually, the 100-acre site is expected to host retail, office space, residences and other entertainment facilities.
“It kept us awake until 11 o’clock,” said Lois Steele, 77, who lives in Pride’s Corner with her husband, Bob, 79. The couple say they recognize the economic benefit the concerts and development bring to the city, but they bristled at the disturbance.
The couple heard the music earlier in the evening and even drove down to Rock Row around 7 p.m. to make sure it was the source of the racket. While they acknowledged that the added tax revenue and visitors will be a boon to the city in the long run, right now they’re hoping for a little peace and quiet.
“If it was the Beach Boys, it wouldn’t be a problem,” Lois Steele joked.
The couple even joked that they remember their own parents complaining about “that damn rock ‘n’ roll” when it was Elvis and the Beatles two generations ago.
“I’d just like them to turn down the volume, because it’s going to be a good thing for the city,” Bob Steele said. “I think it’s going to be a noisy summer.”
Alex Gray, promoter for Waterfront Concerts, which is putting on the shows, said he anticipated some blowback from residents during the first show, and that as the concert season progresses, he plans to work with neighbors to try to minimize the nuisance factor.
Gray said the company set up monitors in various neighborhoods to measure the noise, and will work with the community to reduce complaints.
“You can’t graph a single data point,” Gray said. “We need real shows to really work on the data to see what affects the neighborhood. It’s going to take some time for us to get used to the neighborhood, and for the neighborhood to get used to us.”
In Bangor, where Waterfront Concerts puts on a series of well-attended shows each year, Gray said he worked with an acoustician to manage problem frequencies and reduce decibel levels. At Rock Row, because the site is flat and empty, sound carries farther than if it was blocked by the complex of structures that are planned there.
“We’re going to be a good neighbor. We can attack this. Can we have zero noise complaints? It’s not going to happen,” Gray said. “We’re always going to be a burden to someone. Are people going to hear an outdoor concert two miles away? Yes, they possibly can. But is it going to be a nuisance?”
The 8,200-seat venue, known officially as the Maine Savings Pavilion at Rock Row, has 13 more concerts booked for this season. It is part of a mixed-use complex that planners envision as a combination of business space, retail and up to 1,000 apartments on the site of the former Pike Industries quarry. The commercial development will be anchored by a Market Basket supermarket, The Paper Store, and a Starbucks, which are due to open next year.
Although developers already built an earthen berm to muffle sound, reports from residents show that there might be more work to be done to contain the volume.
In Portland, Graham St. John, 37, said he was surprised by the level of noise that carried into his Holm Avenue home, a street among the closest to the venue.
“You could definitely feel the bass vibrating in our house,” St. John said, adding that he is “hopeful that when the rest of the project is finished it will mitigate some of the noise.”
On Monday afternoon, the Rock Row developers posted a message to the community on Facebook, and also sent a version of it directly to St. John, who complained online.
“As we speak, we are working with the City of Westbrook and Waterfront Concerts to make adjustments based on your feedback,” the developers wrote. “We take our partnership with our neighbors seriously – your input has been valuable in guiding our work each step of the way, and we’ll stay in touch as we go forward.”
Gail Fullerton, who lives in Westbrook with her husband, said she couldn’t hear the music but her husband could. Fullerton focused on the economic benefits of the new development, even if it means some kvetching.
“People are going to complain, but if it brings taxes to the city of Westbrook, bring it on,” Fullerton said.
Others in town said they weren’t bothered. Sarah Spaulding, 32, who lives on Giles Street in downtown Westbrook, said she went outside to see if she could hear the music, but was surprised to find that the evening was quiet, despite being only half a mile from the stage.
She said the new activity is a welcome addition to Westbrook, where it feels like there is nothing to do.
“If it starts to wake up the baby, that might change,” Spaulding said.

Syria urges immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from northern regions

Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad has reiterated Syria’s calls for Turkey to immediately withdraw its forces from the northern regions of the Arab country.
“Turkey should withdraw its troops immediately. The international community, in turn, should support Syrian efforts to liberate the territories it has occupied in the north of the country,” RIA Novosti quoted Mikdad as saying on Thursday.
He added that “the Turkish occupation, as well as the support that Turkey provides to terrorist groups on the ground” is the main reason for the aggravation of the security situation and the recent escalation of tensions in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib, which borders Turkey.
Ankara-backed militants were deployed to northeastern Syria in October 2019 after Turkish military forces launched a cross-border invasion in a declared attempt to push fighters of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) away from border areas.
Ankara views the US-backed YPG as a terrorist organization tied to the homegrown Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been seeking an autonomous Kurdish region in Turkey since 1984.
The Kurdish-led administration in northeastern Syria says the Turkish offensive has killed hundreds of civilians, including dozens of children since it started.
Turkey has played a major role in supporting terrorists in Syria ever since a major foreign-backed insurgency overtook the country more than ten years ago.
Government troops have gradually gained control over most of Syria. But Turkey has increasingly sought to enlist the militants in its operations against Kurds in northern Syria.
Turkey has reportedly sent more troops to northwestern Syria in a move to increase control over the situation in Idlib.
An unnamed official source in the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Monday strongly condemned the Turkish military’s ongoing operations in the northern part of the country, stressing that the offensives are in blatant violation of the Arab nation’s sovereignty and independence.
Syria condemns Turkish military aggression, stresses right to respond
Syria strongly condemns the Turkish military’s ongoing operations in the country, and says it reserves the right to respond to Ankara’s aggression.
The source added that the operations are in line with the hostile policies that Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) has been practicing against Syria ever since the latter was embroiled in foreign-sponsored militancy, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Mikdad pointed to the deterioration of Syria’s economic situation due to US sanctions, which he said are suppressing the Syrian people.
The top Syrian diplomat called on the international community to provide the country with more aid.

Race to the Moon: Twenty-First Century Edition
Last updated on: 2/8/2022 | Author: ProCon.org | MORE HEADLINES
Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin walks on the Moon.

Only Americans have set foot on the Moon. The first “space race” culminated in the June 20, 1969 Moon landing of Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first of only 12 astronauts to set foot on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. No one has stepped on the Moon in the 50 years since. [1] [2] [3]
Now, the world is in the midst of a second race to the Moon after water was discovered on the surface in 2008. Thales Group, a French multinational aerospace company, explained the significance of that discovery: “Oxygen and hydrogen could be sourced from lunar ice to make rocket propellants, while other Moon resources like helium-3, an energy-producing isotope, could power future fusion rockets for the next step in the space race: sending people to Mars. Permanent lunar colonies would also support the long-term observation of the Earth’s land surface, biosphere and atmosphere, improving scientists’ ability to predict climate, weather and natural hazards.” [4]
So far, the race has three main private competitors: Richard Branson who launched the Virgin Galactic Unity 22 mission on July 11, 2021; Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard launched on July 20, 2021, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which currently flies NASA astronauts to the ISS. [5] [6] [7]
Meanwhile, a piece of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched in 2015 is on course to crash into the Moon on Mar. 4, 2022, renewing the conversation about how to handle space junk. The fragment, which is about the size of the school bus, and weighs four tons, is hurtling through space at 5,600 miles per hour and will leave a new crater on the Moon. [8]
The new Moon race comes amid news that NASA plans to decommission the International Space Station (ISS), allowing the aging structure to crash into a remote part of the Pacific Ocean in 2031. Decommissioning the ISS is expected to save NASA $1.3 billion in 2032 and $1.8 billion per year by 2033, funds that can be used for research aboard private stations. Private companies are eager to send new space stations into orbit, including Blue Origin’s Orbital Reef research and commercial station, Nanoracks’ StarLab research station, and Axiom Space’s station that may include a movie production studio. [9] [10]
All of this talk about space, of course, fuels dreams of and debates about Mars exploration and space colonization.
1. What should the focus of a 21st century space program be? The Moon? Mars? Colonization? Explain your answer(s).
2. Consider a space colonization program. What would you make sure to include from Earth? Consider people and other living things, objects, and ideas. Explain your answer(s).
3. What are the potential implications of space junk on space colonization? Explain your answer(s).

3 Different Ways to Recruit Top Talent
Tags : Recruitment
In order to succeed, businesses must be able to recruit top talent and find the best and brightest in their fields. Below are a few different ways you can find your next star employees and stand out from the sea of employers trying to snag them.
Colleges. Find your top talent early–look for the potential in them by offering internships, and if they succeed at your company you’ll know you’ve found a great new hire once he or she joins the workforce. Internships are a great way to see how well a candidate works in the office culture, his or her communication habits, and more. Once you’ve found a bright, promising college student who has the right behaviors for your company, invite them on and train them for the skills they need to grow and succeed.
Network, network, network. For effective results, tap into your personal and professional networks to recruit candidates. Take advantage of industry contacts, association memberships, trade groups and social media as well. Common advice given to job seekers is to network as much as they can, but it goes both ways. Employers must also continue to network in order to keep an eye out for the best talent re-entering the job market (or even if they aren’t in the job market, perhaps you can make them a better offer).
Employee Referrals. One of the best sources of candidates is often referrals from current employees. Consider offering financial incentives to employees for each referral hired and reward them again once the new employee has been retained for 90 days or six months. Employee referrals are valuable because your employees already understand what it takes to succeed in the company. They understand the inner workings and the company culture–so they should also know what kind of person will do well.

Why You’re Failing at Recruiting Really Good Candidates
Tags : eSkill recruiting Recruitment
How many times has a recruiter uttered the words, “I’m looking for a really good candidate for this position?” It’s an interesting phrase for several reasons. First, no recruiter would ever say, “I’m looking for a mediocre candidate for this position.” Second, if every recruiter is looking for really good candidates, it’s safe to assume that actually finding them must be very difficult, simply given the competition. And third, really good candidates are very likely to be already happily employed—and, if they’re available, the reason why might make them not so good after all.
As if these weren’t reasons enough why you might be failing at recruiting those really good candidates, consider the following recruiting traps that are all too easy to fall into.
Making It All About You, Not Them
Many recruiters make the mistake of doing all of the talking during an interview, instead of letting the candidate tell them why they’re right for the job. Not only does this come off as rude to the candidates, but the recruiter also fails in his or her mission of finding out more about the candidate than what is in the resume. The interview should be about the candidate, not about the recruiter.
Relying Too Much on “Gut Feeling”
How important is that gut feeling that tells you a candidate is perfect for the job? Well, it’s very important, but it’s not the only thing that matters. Going on guts alone can backfire tremendously when you’re trying to recruit really good candidates. A charming candidate who wins you over may be charismatic and may give you a good gut feeling, but he might turn out to be pretty mediocre when it comes down to doing the job. Don’t ignore your gut, but base your decision on deeper reasoning.
Playing Too Hard to Get
You want really good candidates to want to work for your company, so you sell it very well. But there’s a difference between a good sell and coming off as standoffish and too hard to get. Of course you want to present your company in the best light possible, pointing out why working there is a great opportunity for the right candidate, but try not to go too far and make it seem like working there is the be-all and end-all of all jobs, or you may put some candidates off.
Forgetting You Need Them Too
Another easy mistake recruiters make is forgetting that they need the candidate just as much (if not more) as the candidate needs the job. This can lead recruiters to act too aloof and as if they don’t care whether the candidate takes the job or not, potentially driving really good candidates into the arms of competitors. If you find a really good candidate, don’t be afraid to express how much the company would like to have her on board.
Thinking They’re Too Good
Not unlike the dating world, rejecting a candidate because he’s perceived to be too good is a real roadblock in hiring really good candidates. Sure, all recruiters say they want really good candidates, but many end up feeling intimidated by top talent (whether consciously or subconsciously), and they wind up bypassing them. Don’t feel threatened by talented candidates; instead, focus on how much their expertise will help the company grow.
Making It All About the Money
Focusing too much on money can also be a turn off for candidates. Whether it’s asking what their current salary is, how much commission they get, or how much they would expect to make their first year if they’re hired at your company can all be a bit much for a first interview. This is especially true since really good candidates might be more interested in increased job responsibilities and growth opportunities, rather than money.
Misunderstanding the Generational Divide
Really good candidates may come in all shapes and sizes, and they also come from all different generations. Younger Gen Y (Millennials) and Gen Z candidates view the workplace completely different from Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. Misunderstanding this divide can really cost you in acquiring talent, since a simple difference in perception can be all it takes for recruiters to dismiss a younger candidate, even if she is a really good—and maybe the best—candidate.
Having Too Great Expectations
Finally, looking for really good candidates can end up making you set the bar too high. Sure, you want the best talent out there, but what should really matter is finding someone who fits in well with your company culture, who brings a different set of perspectives and skills than everyone else, and who will succeed on the job over the long term. Expecting everything from a candidate right from the start is more likely to hinder your recruiting efforts than help you hire really good candidates.
Are there other reasons why you think you might be failing at recruiting really good candidates? In what ways have you adapted your recruiting strategies in order to attract and hire the best candidates?

3 Smart Ways to Recruit Top Talent
Tags : HR Profiles Asia Pacific Recruitment top talent
Businesses grow and thrive because of the teams working towards success. From management to customer service, any organization would benefit from having the best employees available. Below are three smart ways to recruit top talent to keep your business going strong.
1. Discover top talent early
Although there are outstanding job candidates out there, companies can also gain their top talent by selecting high potential employees then training them to fill a key role in the organization. By hiring for company fit and then training for technical skills, you can build a qualified team with aligning beliefs and behaviors.
Offer internships and recruit from college campuses to find the best high potential candidates. Offer internships to both students and professionals who want to learn more about your company, a certain industry, or just how business works in general. It doesn’t matter whether your interns are fresh out of college or preparing for their second careers. Internships can help you discover your high potential employees before they become top talent.
2. Leverage your network
Use your network to recruit top talent. Find candidates from both personal and professional networks, such as industry contacts, association memberships, social media and trade groups. This can be a proactive or reactive strategy. Reach out to interested candidates in your network when trying to fill a specific position, offer details and get some feedback on how well they would fit. You can also reach out to someone who has impressed you, whom you want to bring on board even without any open positions. Use your network to meet your future top employees and win them to your organization.
3. Start an employee referral program
One of the best ways to find qualified candidates are through current employees. Your employees understand the company culture and could gauge how well a job candidate (whom your employee knows personally) would fit into the company and position.
An employee referral program could offer rewards as incentive to bring in top talent to the company. For example, the employee who referred a job candidate could get a bonus when that candidate is hired, and then another when the candidate has worked with the company for one full year.
Web-Based Assessments and Recruitment: How Web Technology Can Lead to HR Success
Tags : assessments eSkill Profiles Asia Pacific Recruitment testing technology
The recruiting game is constantly changing, and knowing how to best use new and emerging technologies is the key these days to winning the game. Web and mobile technologies are great resources that can transform the recruiting process, especially when it comes to pre-employment assessments and interview screening. Replacing outdated assessment methods with web-based technologies can help you take your recruiting game to the next level.
Here are a few examples of how recruiters can apply web technologies to pre-employment testing, to improve their recruiting process:
Mobile testing. Mobile websites and apps are among the most game-changing technologies in the HR and recruiting world. By tapping into mobile resources, recruiters and candidates have access to information on the go, anywhere and anytime. This also applies to pre-employment testing. Mobile-based assessment applications offer candidates the convenience of completing tests on their smartphones whenever they want, while allowing recruiters to get the results faster.
Simulation testing. Through simulation testing, recruiters can test candidates in real work environments that simulate anything from the MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, PPT, Outlook) to web browsers and email providers. These tests can help recruiters assess how candidates work in real life: how they respond to problems and the extent of their knowledge of certain software. These tests are especially helpful when you’re hiring for positions that require specific skills that can be tested in a simulation, such as a customer service call center representative or a web designer.
Multitasking testing. Multitasking has increasingly become a necessity in the workplace. Most employees now wear many different hats and have to constantly switch gears to accomplish tasks as they arise. However, multitasking effectively takes skill. Testing a candidate’s ability to multitask without losing focus or sacrificing quality is crucial to finding the right person for your position. Recruiters can supply a multitasking scenario through a web-based assessment platform and evaluate how candidates manage it.
Video interviewing. Web technologies have made it easier than ever to conduct remote interviews with candidates. Skype, Google Plus Hangout, and FaceTime are just a few of the platforms recruiters can use to conduct effective interviews with candidates that live in a different city. It can also save time for all candidates if you have a video interview before asking them to come in person. In a preliminary video interview, recruiters can quickly assess candidates without spending too much time or having to set up a meeting space.
These web-based assessments provide a lot of benefits for recruiters, which make investing in the technology very worthwhile, such as:
Saving time and money. Assessing candidates remotely via web-based testing and interviews saves a significant amount of time and money. Pre-employment assessments help recruiters find the best candidates so there’s less time spent training them, since you know they come with all the necessary skills for the job. This saves money in terms of man-hours both before and after hiring.
Reduced turnover rates. When you find the right candidate for your position, you know it, and most of the time he or she knows it too. This means that once hired, candidates are more likely to stay at the job since they know what it really entails after having gone through simulation testing, for instance. HR managers also benefit of course, because a reduced turnover rate means fewer open positions and less time having to recruit for them.
Identify top talent. Every recruiter knows that their goal is not just to find candidates to fill jobs, but rather to find the best candidate to fill the right job. Identifying top talent is tricky, but pre-employment assessments can help recruiters find the candidates who truly excel in the skills that are needed for the job. Going beyond just reviewing a resume and conducting an interview, these web-based tests give recruiters almost instant access to the candidate’s actual skills and how they would apply them to the position.
Discover both hard and soft skills. A resume and a cover letter can only tell recruiters so much about a candidate. Through assessment testing and video interview screening, recruiters can learn more about a candidate, especially when it comes to soft skills like overall attitude, communication skills, leadership, work ethic, and multitasking abilities. These soft skills are vital for success in the workplace, and pre-employment assessments can help recruiters find them.
Have you implemented—or have you thought about implementing—any web-based assessment testing and interviewing in your recruiting process? Which pre-employment assessment practices have worked best for you?

Diamonds in the Rough – How to Find Undervalued Talent
Tags : Human Resources Recruitment Talent
By Yvonne Manzi
Social Media Officer, Profiles Asia Pacific
More or less all of us can spot talent when it’s clearly exceptional from the start. But this is not all there is to talent search – you don’t need to just snatch the obvious diamonds, you also need to find the rough but equally precious diamonds and help them refine. Unfortunately this is difficult to achieve, and most of the time we look for the wrong signs, or we simply overlook people who aren’t already shining. “At most companies” says Richard Fairbank, CEO of Capital One, “people spend 2% of their time recruiting, and 75% of their time managing their recruiting mistakes.”
Danish Talent and Performance Development Coach Rasmus Ankersen spoke at a TED event where he talked about his research and findings, which he published in The Goldmine Effect. During the talk, he explains the best ways of finding undervalued talent. “Mastering the art of talent identification is an extremely tough discipline” he says, but “by understanding three simple lessons, everyone can dramatically improve.”
There are actually quite a few people in various fields who were once overlooked and then turned out to be superstars. Asafa Powell, an unknown Jamaican sprinter, smashed the world record. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school team when he was 16, but he turned out to be the most famous basketball player of his time. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin group, was categorized as a low performer because of his dyslexia, and he dropped out of school. Paul McCartney’s musical talent was never noticed by anyone throughout his education, and yet he was part of one of the most famous bands of all time. There could be many more similar stories to list here, but the common denominator in all of them is that someone failed to see their potential.
Ankersen says that the first step to understanding this phenomenon is to separate performance from potential. Some people have high performance and high potential, and these are the people he calls “shouting talents”, while others, such as Asafa Powell, or Paul McCartney, have high potential but low initial performance – these he calls “whispering talents”.
The pressing question is: how do we learn to see potential in something that looks ordinary?
The key is in the three lessons outlined by Ankersen.
Great talent is not necessarily right talent
If you’re not clear on the critical competencies that drive success in the jobs you’re looking to fill, you will be employing the wrong talent and missing out on the people with real potential. So, are you testing the right characteristics?
What you see is not necessarily what you get
Lower performers may have greater potential. Oftentimes obviously high performers are professionally trained, while average performers have been left to themselves. Raw lower performance might be better than a trained higher performance. This means that you shouldn’t just judge by the numbers because there are external factors that can affect results – luck, market conditions, good vs. bad bosses, even pure randomness.
Never overrate certificates, never underrate character
Sure, being trained in a top-class environment is a valuable addition, but character should always be taken into account. Individuals who haven’t had the opportunity to reach those stellar training environments could still be very much worth your time. In fact, they could be even better, because rougher beginnings can often lead to stronger characters. Regardless of certificates, it is worth looking at the right motivators for both types of individuals. Ankersen mentions factors such as “why are you here?” and “what drives you?” and “how much do you really care?” because the most important thing an individual has to tell you is what he or she isn’t telling you.
In conclusion, companies need to make sure they’re not missing out on all these diamonds in the rough. That college graduate that isn’t so great at communicating his or her skills at first impact might actually have a sea of potential ready to grow. By keeping Rasmussen’s research in mind, you can learn to identify these diamonds in the rough, and then help them channel their talent to straight to superstardom.

Induction Crisis (part 2) – Tips for Success!
Tags : Human Resources Induction Recruitment
By Matylda Rabczenko
Guest Writer, Warwick Business School
Last week we discussed the potential damage that induction crisis can cause to your company, which ultimately results in high turnover.
A well thought-out integration process, when applied right from the start, can be the difference between the successful placement of medium- to long-term employees, and wasting a great deal of resources on a failed hire.
Now that you are aware of the key reasons for induction crisis, it is time to point to some tips and solutions!
Don’t wait! Induct promptly!
Induction is most effective if conducted right as the employees join the company; if it is done a couple of weeks after the new employees have began work, it is a waste of time
Train your line managers!
The success of your induction is largely dependent on your line managers, who come into direct contact with the new employees most often. Notably, employees’ job satisfaction is correlated to their relationship with their managers.
Be honest and expect honesty!
As mentioned earlier, induction is a great moment to exchange views on expectations between you and the new recruits. Tell them about the way things really are in order to avoid future confusion.
Show off the company culture!
This is a great opportunity to talk about your company values and how they are applied in day-to-day activities – especially important for all types of firms.
Assign a buddy!
Make the transition period easier for your new employees by assigning them a ‘buddy’, a current employee, who they can turn to with any questions or concerns.
Monitor!
If you own a larger company, it is worth using a stability index to measure employee turnover on a constant basis. A stability index in particular allows you to identify the presence and scale of your induction crisis.
Re-assess your recruitment and selection processes!
Whilst seeking improvements in your inductions, do not turn a blind eye to failures within your recruitment and selection processes – even a great induction will not be able to make up for these.
It is easy to forget that the employment contract is indeterminate – an employee cannot give you tangible labor, he/she only offers the potential to perform labor. Although assessments and interviews supply you with a solid depiction of the extent of this employee potential, whether or not it will be utilized is up to you, the employer.
Similarly to how first impressions shape long-term opinions, inductions can play a fundamental role in shaping long-term employee-employer relations. So if you want to make the most of your employees’ potential, provide them with the first impression that will make them want to deliver.
Induction Crisis (part 1) – The Heel of the Recruitment Achilles
During the hunt for capable employees, managers often over-invest into recruitment and selection alone, whilst forgetting about the last pillar to successfully obtaining medium to long-term workers: induction.
Simplistically speaking, induction can be considered as a process of integrating new employees into an organization and familiarizing them with the job requirements, but in reality it is more complex than it sounds. According to Rice, et al.’s (1950) 3 stages to become a true employee, ‘induction crisis’ (the first of the three) is the most problematic and bares the greatest number of casualties; the crisis occurs when an employee fails to adjust to the organization and makes the decision to resign.
Decades of studies, beginning in the 1950s, have confirmed a strong link between inadequate induction and high turnover rates amongst new recruits. Usually, the crisis can take place as soon as within the first 6 weeks of employment; some leave immediately, others postpone taking action by a year or more.
Before considering solutions, it is crucial to take into account what drives this HR failure. Here are a few common sources (a detailed description can be found in Skeats’ 1991 book on Successful Induction, which I would recommend as an initial guide!).
False expectations. These can be usually attributed to over-selling the position during the recruitment process, as well as misunderstandings about salaries and promotions. Induction may help in counteracting the overselling and depicting the reality of the job.
Company style. Although the company style is conveyed through advertisements, company websites, etc., the true company style and culture may come as a surprise to some new employees. Induction provides you with a good opportunity to give the new recruit a preview of the way in which people operate within your company.
Demands of the job. It is often not just the company that over-sells the position, but also the employee him/herself. Consequentially, the employee may become overwhelmed by his/her new responsibilities. Similarly, an employer may hire someone who is overqualified for a role and will find it boring. Induction allows you to have an exchange of expectations with the new employee, which may on occasion result in re-assignment to a more suitable role.
Difficulty with colleagues. Clashes with fellow co-workers are especially likely to occur when the new employees are thrown into a workplace environment without previously interacting with one another. In this case, induction can be a great opportunity for your new employees to socialize in a more informal setting.

Improve Your Recruitment in the Philippines
Tags : Human Resources Philippines Recruitment
For your company to be successful in the Philippines, it is important that you do not simply apply general international recruitment practices. Across regions the differences can be more defined than you think, and failing to recognize and appropriately respond to them can lead to severe problems.
A 2012 Kelly OCG report outlines 5 ways in which you can improve your recruitment in the Asia-Pacific region.
Know what motivates.
Today it is widely accepted that to motivate employees to achieve their best results, companies need to give them more than just great salaries. Across regions, there are significant differences that are influenced by culture and values, which must be taken into account. What matters in HR is not why these issues arise, but how to respond appropriately. It is therefore of utmost importance for HR professionals to recognize the motivational trends in the region, and devise ways to address them.
In the Philippines, as in other countries in Asia-Pacific, the basis for employee motivation is the value they perceive they have. Applying Western-style opportunity+responsibility motivational methods is acceptable but limited; you must also practically show your employees that they have real worth. In general terms, this can be shown in two ways: through the right job title, and through corporate reputation. If the employee has an important job title, and he/she works for a company that is socially responsible, influential and that gives back to the community, the results will be more impressive. First, the employee will feel more valued and thus be motivated to perform better, and second, the clients will respond more positively because these cultural trends are ingrained in their mindsets as well.
Beware the pressures of a growing market.
In Asia-Pacific, a region with already limited skilled labor, talent search and retention is becoming increasingly difficult. The market is quickly growing both within specific countries and within other developing regions. This means that there are more and more opportunities for candidates all-around, and there are more incentives being offered to candidates by competing companies and recruiters. This means that it becoming even more critical for organizations to find the right long-term candidates who they will keep and develop for a long time.
Recruiters and HR professionals must make sure they have a number of skills in order to remain competitive in the Philippines. They must have:
a) an understanding of upcoming skills shortages
b) access to global candidate networks
c) strategies for developing and engaging existing employees
d) long-term strategies for increasing the inflow of talent
Dig deeper to measure candidate quality.
As I mentioned earlier, in emerging markets there is a shortage of highly skilled staff. 83% of responding companies blame this on hiring issues in Asia-Pacific, compared with percentages in the 70s for the Americas and EMEA. The complicating factors are low unemployment rates, largely given because of the aforementioned growth which affects most sectors.
According to the Kelly OCG report, this means that “it is common to find organizations seeking candidates without the ideal previous experience, but with the fundamentals to be able to learn as they go”. It is therefore important for your company to determine how effective the interview and screening process is. The skills that need to be measured are:
a) aptitude for learning
b) team-work and leadership
c) communication
d) problem-solving and strategic insight
Perhaps one of the most effective ways to ensure this is to integrate assessment solutions in the hiring process.
Think flexibility.
The Kelly OCG report states that “contingent and temporary labor has grown almost everywhere in the past decade, yet it has grown exceptionally quickly in the Asia-Pacific market”. Promotion of this type of labor can indeed create insecurity in the lower end of the market, but the report explains that for those with high-level and in-demand skills, the situation is a win-win one. The candidates will be more inclined to participate because this will provide for improved work-life balance, they will be able to choose their favored projects, and it is especially beneficial for women who may want to remain or re-enter the job market while they have a family.
So, how to do this? According to the report, the steps are 3:
a) Determine what the success factors are for specific roles. They may not necessarily require permanency to reach the same results. Especially with the aid of internal networks and the right technology.
b) Focus on collaboration. Give managers the responsibility, but then allow them the freedom to delegate and re organize the work on their terms. They will be more able to target the strengths of particular individuals.
c) Engage specialists rather than generalists. This will increase the quality and productivity of work, and reduce job dissatisfaction.
Improve your “candidate experience”.
The candidate experience is the process the potential employee has to undergo when applying for a position within your company. Just like a customer, the candidate should also receive a positive experience. This means that it needs to be tailor-made for the candidate, and appropriately targeted and marketed.
The basic elements that are indicated by the report are 5:
1) The brand experience
2) The reputational experience
3) The technological experience
4) The human experience
5) The process experience
(See side figure for explanation)
If successfully done, what will this lead to?
There are 3 positive outcomes:
a) A desirable yet unsuccessful candidate will be more inclined to reapply to future opportunities
b) The successful candidate will be more engaged from the start
c) You will be perceived more positively in the recruitment market, and this will increase your inflow of applicants

Okay, one more Shazam! post….
§ March 30th, 2005 § Filed under big red cheese Comments Off on Okay, one more Shazam! post….
So I did remember correctly regarding the revamped Mr. Mind’s acquisition of a little wearable translator:
By comparison, here is his “classic” appearance:
I did appreciate the apparent effort in making the newer Mr. Mind still look sorta “cute” and amusing, while addressing the modern audience’s need for something a bit more “realistic” looking. Yes, I realize I’m talking about a “realistic”-looking telepathic alien worm. Quit staring at me like that.
To follow up on this morning’s post…I hadn’t forgotten about Captain Marvel’s appearances in JSA , where commenter Zack points out that he’d been having a romance, of sorts, with Stargirl. Well, actually, the much younger Billy Batson had been, but the much older looking Captain Marvel making eyes with the teenage Stargirl caught the attention of Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash, thus causing some minor (so to speak) problems. That was a really weird, but oddly logical, plot point to be addressed, I thought. It was sort of interesting to see it brought up, but we’re probably better off now that Cap seems to be out of the JSA book, putting that plotline to rest.
And Sivana popped up in Outsiders (where Captain Marvel Jr. appears to be hanging his hat) a while back, apparently much more bloodthirsty than in any of his previous appearances. I don’t read this book, so I can’t really provide any kind of cogent commentary on it. In the brief glances I did have of the relevant issues, both characters seemed a little out of place (not that there’s anything wrong with the title, I might add)…but then, seeing Captain Marvel Jr. in any context other than a Marvel Family-related story always throws me off. (EDIT: Pal Dorian tells me that Captain Marvel Jr. was only in the book for that particular storyline…oops, thought he was a regular member, for some reason.)
Commenter Rob points out that great DC Comics Presents annual featuring Cap and Superman vs. a super-powered Sivana, drawn by Gil Kane in his usual dynamic style. The script was by Joey Cavalieri…his dialogue never really worked for me in any of his comics work, unfortunately, but the real star of this show was Kane’s action-packed artwork.
To commenter Bill‘s question, regarding which issue of Alter Ego had the proposed Roy Thomas revamp of Captain Marvel that was even more horrifying than this one…I’m afraid I don’t know! I haven’t dug through the vast Mikester Comic Archives to pull out my stack of AE s to check. When I have a little more time, I’ll be sure to do so! It’s really worth seeking out just to see the bullet we dodged. (If it sounds like I’m being a little hard on Mr. Thomas…well, I don’t mean to be. The vast majority of his work I’m perfectly fine with, and this Captain Marvel story of his (and Gerry Conway’s) is still one of my favorites…but I guess he can’t hit a home run every time!)
Okay, tomorrow morning…no Shazam! talk, I promise. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11594 | {"url": "https://www.progressiveruin.com/2005/03/30/okay-one-more-shazam-post/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.progressiveruin.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:43:20Z", "digest": "sha1:XGOAPSGF5H5CYSBM2IA2HH4SH5UUPQS3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3022, 3022.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3022, 7046.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3022, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3022, 63.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3022, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3022, 318.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3022, 0.40882353]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3022, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3022, 0.01824212]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3022, 0.03233831]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3022, 0.01865672]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3022, 0.01409619]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3022, 0.03676471]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3022, 0.18235294]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3022, 0.56870229]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3022, 4.60305344]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3022, 0.01470588]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3022, 5.30250648]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3022, 524.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 30, 1.0], [30, 124, 1.0], [124, 231, 0.0], [231, 280, 0.0], [280, 581, 1.0], [581, 1252, 1.0], [1252, 1955, 0.0], [1955, 2298, 1.0], [2298, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3022, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 124, 0.0], [124, 231, 0.0], [231, 280, 0.0], [280, 581, 0.0], [581, 1252, 0.0], [1252, 1955, 0.0], [1955, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 30, 5.0], [30, 124, 18.0], [124, 231, 16.0], [231, 280, 7.0], [280, 581, 48.0], [581, 1252, 116.0], [1252, 1955, 122.0], [1955, 2298, 57.0], [2298, 2972, 128.0], [2972, 3022, 7.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 124, 0.06741573], [124, 231, 0.0], [231, 280, 0.0], [280, 581, 0.0], [581, 1252, 0.0], [1252, 1955, 0.0], [1955, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 124, 0.0], [124, 231, 0.0], [231, 280, 0.0], [280, 581, 0.0], [581, 1252, 0.0], [1252, 1955, 0.0], [1955, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2972, 0.0], [2972, 3022, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.06666667], [30, 124, 0.06382979], [124, 231, 0.03738318], [231, 280, 0.02040816], [280, 581, 0.02325581], [581, 1252, 0.04023845], [1252, 1955, 0.03556188], [1955, 2298, 0.04373178], [2298, 2972, 0.04747774], [2972, 3022, 0.06]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3022, 0.51193792]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3022, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3022, 0.09114581]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3022, -123.18546065]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3022, 61.57114477]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3022, -305.64998967]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3022, 32.0]]} |

Final Issue Price Regulations Issued
By Squire Patton Boggs on December 16, 2016 Posted in General
The Treasury Department issued final “issue price” regulations on December 9, 2016 (T.D. 9801) (the “Issue Price Regulations”). Below is a summary of the general and special rules for determining issue price under the Issue Price Regulations:
General Rule. The general rule, retained from the existing regulations, provides that issue price is determined by actual sales to the public of 10% of those bonds having the same credit and payment terms (generally, each maturity of an issue).
“Hold the Price” Bonds. For bonds offered to the public, issue price may instead be determined based on a certification from the underwriter, accompanied by supporting documentation such as a copy of the pricing wire, that states the price at which the bonds were initially offered to the public. However, the underwriter or underwriters must each agree not to sell the bonds at a higher price until the earlier of more than five business days after the sale date or 10% of the bonds have been sold to the public.
Competitive Sales. For bonds that have been sold in a competitive bidding process meeting specified requirements, including that at least three bids are received, the issuer may rely upon the reasonably expected initial offering price that is certified by the winning bidder.
Private Placements. For private placements to a single buyer, the issue price is the actual price paid by the buyer.
If more than one issue price rule could apply, the issuer may select which rule to apply but must do so on or before the issue date. Read below for additional information regarding the Issue Price Regulation.
The Issue Price Regulation also adds and modifies definitions:
“Public” now means any person other than an underwriter or a related person. Under the existing regulations, the term public did not include “bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers.”
“Underwriter” means (1) any person who participates in the initial sale of bonds to the public pursuant to a written contract with the issuer (or with a lead underwriter) and (2) any person that participates in the initial sale to the public pursuant to a written agreement with a person described in the former clause (for instance, pursuant to a retail distribution agreement).
As discussed on this blog (here, and more light-heartedly, here), the Treasury has previously issued proposed regulations that were not well received. The preamble to the Issue Price Regulation notes that “overwhelmingly negative comments” were received regarding parts of the proposed regulations. In response to comments, various changes were made by Treasury (for example, the private placement rule was added, and an issuer may select which rule to apply.)
The Issue Price Regulations apply to bonds sold to the public on or after June 7, 2017, provided of course that Congress does not take action under the Congressional Review Act or otherwise. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11597 | {"url": "https://www.publicfinancetaxblog.com/2016/12/final-issue-price-regulations-issued/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.publicfinancetaxblog.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:22:14Z", "digest": "sha1:VI3LRHA2BCHJARBFTYJULH5DNVXCK47S"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3097, 3097.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3097, 7401.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3097, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3097, 76.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3097, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3097, 245.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3097, 0.38793103]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3097, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3097, 0.09497428]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3097, 0.04748714]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3097, 0.04748714]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3097, 0.04748714]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3097, 0.03047091]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3097, 0.0273051]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3097, 0.00344828]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3097, 0.15172414]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3097, 0.44023904]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3097, 5.03386454]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3097, 4.82123162]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3097, 502.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 81, 0.0], [81, 143, 0.0], [143, 386, 0.0], [386, 631, 1.0], [631, 1145, 1.0], [1145, 1421, 1.0], [1421, 1538, 1.0], [1538, 1747, 1.0], [1747, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2066, 1.0], [2066, 2446, 1.0], [2446, 2907, 0.0], [2907, 3097, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 81, 0.0], [81, 143, 0.0], [143, 386, 0.0], [386, 631, 0.0], [631, 1145, 0.0], [1145, 1421, 0.0], [1421, 1538, 0.0], [1538, 1747, 0.0], [1747, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2066, 0.0], [2066, 2446, 0.0], [2446, 2907, 0.0], [2907, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 44, 7.0], [44, 81, 5.0], [81, 143, 11.0], [143, 386, 37.0], [386, 631, 40.0], [631, 1145, 90.0], [1145, 1421, 42.0], [1421, 1538, 20.0], [1538, 1747, 37.0], [1747, 1810, 9.0], [1810, 2066, 39.0], [2066, 2446, 63.0], [2446, 2907, 69.0], [2907, 3097, 33.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 81, 0.0], [81, 143, 0.1], [143, 386, 0.03862661], [386, 631, 0.00847458], [631, 1145, 0.0039604], [1145, 1421, 0.0], [1421, 1538, 0.0], [1538, 1747, 0.0], [1747, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2066, 0.0], [2066, 2446, 0.00542005], [2446, 2907, 0.0], [2907, 3097, 0.02673797]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 81, 0.0], [81, 143, 0.0], [143, 386, 0.0], [386, 631, 0.0], [631, 1145, 0.0], [1145, 1421, 0.0], [1421, 1538, 0.0], [1538, 1747, 0.0], [1747, 1810, 0.0], [1810, 2066, 0.0], [2066, 2446, 0.0], [2446, 2907, 0.0], [2907, 3097, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.13636364], [44, 81, 0.13513514], [81, 143, 0.11290323], [143, 386, 0.05349794], [386, 631, 0.0122449], [631, 1145, 0.00972763], [1145, 1421, 0.01086957], [1421, 1538, 0.02564103], [1538, 1747, 0.02392344], [1747, 1810, 0.06349206], [1810, 2066, 0.0078125], [2066, 2446, 0.00263158], [2446, 2907, 0.01735358], [2907, 3097, 0.04736842]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3097, 0.09199834]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3097, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3097, 0.07270098]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3097, -135.41005461]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3097, 31.9104465]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3097, -2.48432138]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3097, 21.0]]} |

The Gas Market Development Conference was held to evaluate the development of the gas consumption market in last time, to set up orientations for the development of the gas consumption market in the upcoming years, especially the solutions and strategies to increase gas consumption rate for industrial customers and gas consumption/use rate for petroleum/fuel-using customers. The conference was held amid recent changes in energy policy as well as complicated geopolitical evolution in the world and in the region, which have led to a significant impact on Vietnam's gas market.
According to the presentations at the Conference, the energy transition trend in Vietnam is affecting severely the gas consumption market, it is necessary to develop further other non-power customers to ensure the sustainable development trend of PV GAS as well as the gas industry of the Group. The report on gas business model as well as gas market development strategy presented by PV GAS fundamentally provided solutions and mechanisms for market development, strategic orientations of the Group/PV GAS in building business models and market strategies in the new situation. On that basis, the papers proposed mechanisms for the Group/PV GAS to be more proactive in negotiating and allocating new gas sources with suitable gas prices to supply non-power customers, and at the same time studying and developing mechanisms as well as policies, especially the ones on gas prices, to develop industrial and petrochemical customers.
On the basis of the reports and opinions of the Conference’s delegates, Mr. Le Manh Hung - CEO of the Group concluded, recognized and highly appreciated the efforts and achievements of PV GAS/the PV GAS business units in gas market development in recent years. Facing such great challenges as mentioned above and "continuing to be the leader who leads Vietnam's gas industry to develop rapidly, and contribute to ensuring national energy security and international integration, PV GAS must focus on building and carrying out synchronously solutions/groups of solutions towards the goal of increasing market share of non-power customers sustainably while ensuring efficiency in business, making efforts in increasing the current proportion 20% of total gas consumption to 50% by 2030.

Nijel Amos provisionally suspended after positive test for banned substance
Olympic medallist Nijel Amos has been provisionally suspended after returning a positive result for a banned substance.
The 28-year-old, who won silver in the 800m at the 2012 London Games and gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, failed an out-of-competition test last month.
Botswana’s Amos was due to take part at the World Athletics Championships which get under way in Eugene on Friday.
A statement read: “The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has today provisionally suspended Nijel Amos of Botswana with immediate effect after a sample collected from the 800m runner tested positive for Metabolites of GW1516, a substance that is prohibited under the 2022 WADA Prohibited List as a metabolic modulator.
“Substances in this category modify how the body metabolizes fat and GW1516 was originally synthesized and evaluated for the treatment of obesity, diabetes and other disorders caused by metabolic problems.
“GW1516 is not an approved substance for human use and WADA has advised of its health risks for athletes.
“GW1516 is a non-Specified Substance on the 2022 WADA Prohibited list and a provisional suspension is mandatory following an adverse analytical finding for such substance under the World Athletics Anti-Doping Rules.”

Director and Damon Create a Distinctive "Identity": "The Bourne Identity," "Windtalkers," and "Scooby-Doo"
By Mike Schulz
I have a lower threshold for international spy thrillers than most people, yet I must admit that I found The Bourne Identity, based on Robert Ludlam's 1980 bestseller, pretty damned enjoyable.
Zellweger Shines (Again) in "Diary": "Bridget Jones's Diary," "Blow," and "Josie & the Pussycats"
BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY
A terrific leading character can atone for a lot of wrongs in a film, and there might be no better proof of that thesis than Bridget Jones's Diary, Sharon Maguire's adaptation of Helen Fielding's incredibly popular novel. Our heroine, a 32-year-old British woman who works a dead-end publishing job, is a completely realistic type we almost never see in movies: a chain-smoking, wine-slurping, slightly overweight, unsatisfied-in-relationships flirt who wants desperately to better herself but doesn't have the motivation or discipline to do so. Flawed as she is, she's intensely endearing, and as perfectly played by Renée Zellweger, she's a magically comic creation, even more wonderful than Zellweger's previous incarnations of Dorothy Boyd and Nurse Betty. That the moviemakers spend the film's running length putting her in one humiliating situation after another, and that she's trapped in a predictable love triangle between a cad and a sweetie, aren't to be held against her; Bridget Jones, and Zellweger herself, triumph over their circumstances, creating a totally enjoyable cinematic work, flaws and all. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11602 | {"url": "https://www.rcreader.com/taxonomy/term/51701", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.rcreader.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:37:01Z", "digest": "sha1:GMHOTTFKBMBDZXH3HBA566XRSBYID53E"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1550, 1550.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1550, 3851.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1550, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1550, 81.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1550, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1550, 273.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1550, 0.34267913]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1550, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1550, 0.0313253]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1550, 0.04337349]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1550, 0.02492212]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1550, 0.21495327]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1550, 0.70386266]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1550, 5.34334764]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1550, 4.8473582]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1550, 233.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 107, 0.0], [107, 122, 0.0], [122, 315, 1.0], [315, 413, 0.0], [413, 435, 0.0], [435, 1550, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 107, 0.0], [107, 122, 0.0], [122, 315, 0.0], [315, 413, 0.0], [413, 435, 0.0], [435, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 107, 13.0], [107, 122, 3.0], [122, 315, 31.0], [315, 413, 13.0], [413, 435, 3.0], [435, 1550, 170.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 107, 0.0], [107, 122, 0.0], [122, 315, 0.02139037], [315, 413, 0.0], [413, 435, 0.0], [435, 1550, 0.00185874]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 107, 0.0], [107, 122, 0.0], [122, 315, 0.0], [315, 413, 0.0], [413, 435, 0.0], [435, 1550, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 107, 0.10280374], [107, 122, 0.2], [122, 315, 0.04145078], [315, 413, 0.10204082], [413, 435, 0.81818182], [435, 1550, 0.01973094]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1550, 0.73805571]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1550, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1550, 0.73609507]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1550, -13.20111037]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1550, 17.5654813]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1550, -27.20562886]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1550, 5.0]]} |

Getting plenty of rest and sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your full body health. Lack of sleep has been linked to a number of health problems such as poor concentration, irritability, fatigue and low immunity. To get enough rest and sleep, it is important to have a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine close to bedtime, exercise regularly during the day, and establish a relaxing pre-bedtime routine. Additionally, limit electronics before bedtime as the blue light emitted from computers and phones can affect your ability to fall asleep. Finally, create a comfortable sleeping environment by keeping your bedroom dark and cool. With these tips in mind, you can ensure that you are getting adequate rest and sleeping well each night.
Exercising regularly is a great way to take care of yourself physically. It helps to strengthen your muscles and bones, improve your overall health, and even help you maintain a healthy weight. To get the most out of exercising, it’s important to pick activities that you enjoy and can stick with. You can also vary up your workouts by alternating between different types of exercises like running, biking, swimming, or yoga. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated before and after working out as well as take sufficient sleep in order to give your body time to rest and recover. Taking the time to exercise regularly will benefit you both physically and mentally in the long run!
3. Eat a healthy, balanced diet
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is vital to taking care of yourself physically. This means eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Eating various foods from all the food groups will ensure you get all the essential nutrients your body needs. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated and limit processed and sugary foods.

Taking time for yourself to relax and practice self-care is also important for physical well-being. Making time for regular physical activity can help you stay in great shape both mentally and physically.
4. Make time for relaxation and leisure activities
It is important to make time for relaxation and leisure activities in order to take good care of yourself physically. The best way to do this is by incorporating fun activities into your daily routine. Start off by setting aside a few minutes each day to relax and practice mindfulness, such as meditating or practising yoga. You can also schedule breaks throughout the day for short walks or engaging in physical activities that you enjoy. Additionally, try to get a good night’s sleep every night and make sure you are eating healthy meals regularly. Taking the time to relax and enjoy pleasure activities will help you feel better mentally and physically, so make sure to set aside time for yourself every day!
5. Take part in activities that promote mindfulness and self-awareness
Taking part in activities that promote mindfulness and self-awareness is an important part of taking care of yourself physically. Research shows that meditation offers not only calm but also helps with anxiety and depression, cancer, chronic pain, asthma, heart disease and high blood pressure. Mindfulness activities can help you to become more aware and present at the moment so that you can recognize and respond to your own thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in a healthy way. These activities can also help to reduce stress levels, improve concentration and focus, as well as boost overall well-being. Examples of mindfulness activities include yoga, tai chi, meditation, journaling, deep breathing techniques, and guided imagery. Allowing yourself time for these mindful practices can be beneficial for both physical and mental health.
6. Make time to connect with family and friends
Making time to connect with family and friends is a key part of taking care of yourself physically as well as it improves your emotional health. Taking the time to talk and laugh with those you love can help relieve stress and make life more enjoyable. To make sure you are setting aside quality time for your loved ones, it’s important to plan ahead. Schedule regular phone calls or video chats with friends and family, or even just send a quick message every day to let them know you’re thinking of them. Spend time outdoors in nature, or go for a walk together if possible. You can also plan activities that everyone can do together from home such as board games, movie nights or virtual happy hours. Make sure to take breaks throughout the day to relax and unwind – take a nap, read a book, meditate or listen to music. These activities will help keep you feeling refreshed and energized so that when it comes time to connect with your loved ones, you’ll be fully present.
7. Seek professional help when needed
When it comes to taking self-care physically, seeking professional help when needed is a must. Consulting a doctor or medical specialist can be beneficial for complete health and well-being. It is important to consult specialists with any major changes in your physical health; this includes sudden weight loss or gain, aches and pains, fatigue, sleep issues, etc. If you are feeling overwhelmed or not able to handle the physical stressors of life, then seeking out mental health professionals may also be beneficial. Additionally, forming healthy habits such as eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly and getting enough rest can all help keep your body in balance. However, if you are struggling to maintain these habits alone then reaching out for professional help can provide the guidance necessary for making lasting lifestyle changes.
8. Practice positive self-talk
Practising positive self-talk is an important part of taking care of yourself physically and emotionally. You can start by being mindful of your thoughts and recognizing when you are being negative or critical. It’s important to recognize these moments and then try to practice more positive self-talk instead. One way to do this is to challenge your negative thoughts with more balanced ones. For instance, if you find yourself thinking “I can’t do this”, remind yourself that “It may be hard but I am capable of learning new things.” Other tips for practising positive self-talk include writing down daily affirmations, speaking positively about yourself in the mirror, and creating a mantra. Taking the time to cultivate positive self-talk can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself.
It is important to make time for yourself and prioritize self-care each day. A few tips for taking care of yourself physically include getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals, exercising regularly, and staying hydrated. Make sure you are getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep each night and that your diet consists of healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Incorporate regular exercise into your routine including activities like walking, running, swimming or yoga. Staying hydrated is also essential so make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Taking the time to self-care physically will help you feel better both mentally and physically in the long run.

Three Principles for Selecting Contact Lens
Contact lenses, which combine vision correction and cosmetic functions, have set off a new fashion trend. The dark, green, fresh, gray and gray temperament are always attracting people to buy them. But in fact, many people are confused about the choice of contact lenses, basically depending on the recommendation of shop assistants and online homework. In fact, only by learning the three principles, we can purchase the right lenses for ourselves scientifically and reasonably.
Principle 1: Purchasing qualified products is a prerequisite. Famous brands which occupy a certain position in the market tend to be more advanced in the selection of raw materials, product development and design, manufacturing process, and more secure in quality and after-sales. Therefore, the purchase of contact lenses must go to the business licensed to purchase medical devices, try to choose a formal brand.
Principle 2: It is more reliable to accept professional examination. In foreign countries, the purchase of contact lenses requires a prescription from a doctor, which just shows that the matching of contact lenses is not a sloppy thing. Although there is no prescription in China, it is necessary to go through the detailed examination of ophthalmologists to confirm the exact degree and corneal data in order to determine whether contact lenses are suitable for wearing. Later, regular reviews should also be conducted. Once severe redness and pain occur, timely treatment is necessary.
Principle 3: Choose products according to needs. The frequency of wearing should be taken into account when choosing the type of discarding. In order to be safe and healthy, short-period lenses should be chosen as far as possible. If the eyes are easy to dry, then you can choose low water content lenses to reduce water evaporation. Whether the eyes are sensitive or not, we recommend choosing high oxygen permeable lenses as much as possible.
In any case, the purchase is only the first step, follow-up care and maintenance process is also essential, also determines the health and safety of the eye. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11604 | {"url": "https://www.realconlens.com/article/three-principles-for-selecting-contact-lens.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.realconlens.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:00:57Z", "digest": "sha1:54DN462LM46B4ZZAL7WPV64WKPUNHFOQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2129, 2129.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2129, 3249.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2129, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2129, 70.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2129, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2129, 225.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2129, 0.4]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2129, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2129, 0.02983362]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2129, 0.04475043]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2129, 0.03442341]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2129, 0.02294894]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2129, 0.13333333]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2129, 0.58284024]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2129, 5.15680473]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2129, 4.86240568]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2129, 338.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 524, 1.0], [524, 939, 1.0], [939, 1527, 1.0], [1527, 1972, 1.0], [1972, 2129, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 524, 0.0], [524, 939, 0.0], [939, 1527, 0.0], [1527, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 44, 6.0], [44, 524, 74.0], [524, 939, 64.0], [939, 1527, 92.0], [1527, 1972, 75.0], [1972, 2129, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 524, 0.0], [524, 939, 0.00247525], [939, 1527, 0.00173611], [1527, 1972, 0.00230415], [1972, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 44, 0.0], [44, 524, 0.0], [524, 939, 0.0], [939, 1527, 0.0], [1527, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2129, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 44, 0.11363636], [44, 524, 0.00833333], [524, 939, 0.00963855], [939, 1527, 0.01190476], [1527, 1972, 0.01348315], [1972, 2129, 0.00636943]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2129, 0.05379444]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2129, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2129, 0.04602784]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2129, -55.09051998]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2129, 7.17635122]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2129, -36.97142235]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2129, 18.0]]} |

Keweenaw Storytelling Center Opening Celebration
We had a great celebration on October 7 at the Keweenaw Storytelling Center. The opening included a vintage hat show titled "100 Years of Hats: 1865-1965" presented by Friends of Fashion. Members modeled 10 vintage ensembles featuring 30 hats. Following the show was a gallery tour of the Exhibit, Around the World in 80 Hats, presented by collector Linda Weston who drove up from Calumet specifically for the celebration.

Exhibit shares hats and stories from six continents!
RPM Receives Michigan Humanities H.O.P.E. Grant
Real People Media is grateful to have received a H.O.P.E (Humanities Organizations Pandemic Emergency) Grant award from the Michigan Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grant is part of the CARES Act funding which was created to assist nonprofits facing challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant for $6,835 was received earlier this summer.
This grant has enabled Real People Media to continue operations of the Keweenaw Storytelling Center, our newly established 7,800 square foot community cultural center in downtown Calumet. With these funds, we were able to install, "Around the World in 80 Hats," an exhibit of ceremonial and utilitarian hats from around the world which shares the art and culture of countries as expressed through these hats. The exhibit will be in place through October 2021 and will be augmented by performances and storytelling events throughout 2021.
Funding also enabled us to create a socially-distanced theater space for recording and streaming online events so that we may continue performances despite COVID 19. We recently recorded two new episodes of The Red Jacket Jamboree in this new space. (sans audience) The theater will be used for live-streaming performances and events beginning in 2021.
Adapted in TC: Never leaving the house has distinct advantages
(This article first appeared in the Traverse City Record Eagle on June 29, 2020)
Ten years ago, I awoke long before sunrise, in preparation for an early morning meeting. I felt queasy from taking a new medication. It was February, piercingly cold, dark. Several inches of fresh snow covered my long wheelchair ramp and path to the driveway. Lying on my side, I wondered why my prior requests to attend some meetings by phone or computer had been met with such resistance. I knew there were many other people who couldn’t work and volunteer because of their health challenges, lack of transportation or childcare. The clock ticked. I could call-in sick or get out of bed. I went to the meeting.
Now, like many people sheltering at home, I’ve embraced Zoom, Google Chat and Jitsi Meet. These platforms have given me a way to see my health care provider, stay connected to family and friends and meet my work and volunteer responsibilities. These include completing my teaching for the spring semester at Northwestern Michigan College, participating in the five-day Interlochen Writers Retreat and interviewing National Writers Series author, Elaine Weiss.
For these, and other reasons, I’d add tech professionals to our long list of COVID-19 essential workers.
There are numerous advantages to these platforms; audio descriptions for sight impaired folks, closed captioning and the wide use of ASL interpreters for the hearing impaired, recordings of missed meetings/classes and increased opportunities to interact with lots of people in diverse settings. For example, on any given day, I can offer public comment at a variety of public meetings, as well as observe court proceedings. Geography or commuting time are no longer barriers. I can also register for free training webinars on countless topics; from human rights to leadership.
In addition to work and board meetings, I’ve had great fun virtually attending the Cannes Film Festival, touring the Louvre Museum and singing along in concert with performer, Neil Young.
Since May 17, I’ve participated in “Crip Camp: The Official Virtual Experience” — the professionally led virtual camp follows ideas from the 2020 documentary film “Crip Camp” and runs every Sunday until August 30, 2020.
Topics span “Disability Community Culture & Identity” to “Disability, Race, Class, & Gender: Intersectionality,” to “ADA 30 Celebration” and “Let’s Talk About Sex: Our Bodies, Our Lives & Reproductive Justice.”
We, the campers, listen to speakers, process the material through guided exercises and live chat during the gathering. There often is a question and answer section and then the PeoplesHub lead an after-party where attendees assemble to further discuss the content and share thoughts, feelings and connect with others in the national disability community.
The following week on Tuesdays, I’ve continued the week’s theme with the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living Crip Camp Club discussion. From there on Thursdays, I’ve often joined our local Disability Network’s Peer Advocacy meetings. Some weeks, I’ve even been able to add an international related disability group discussion, such as with the International Disability Alliance.
Through each version of Crip Camp I’m learning a great deal about the topics and myself. My community of people with disabilities is now more global and vastly diverse.
By way of these platforms, the world feels both larger and more intimate. And, I never had to leave my house.

Real People Media Receives Grant From CCCAC and MCACA
Real People Media is pleased to announce that we have received a mini-grant from Copper Country Community Arts Council and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs for “Around the World in 80 Hats,” an art and cultural exhibit of ceremonial and utilitarian hats (vintage and new) from around the world.
The exhibit, which will be on display at the Keweenaw Storytelling Center in Calumet from July-October 2020, will be augmented by performances and visual art activities which heighten the visitors' experience. Events include: A hat and fashion show by Friends of Fashion, international folk tales by storyteller Pat Judd, and classes on millinery. The exhibit, which will be tailored to young children and adults alike, will be comprised of international hats, vintage hats, and utilitarian hats.
We are grateful for this grant from Copper Country Community Arts Council and the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs. The arts and humanities add to the quality of life for our residents and to the visitor experience.
It was a disaster!
It was a year ago, March 7th, when I got a telephone call from Jerry Younce, RPM Board member and RJJ musical Director. It was just prior to a performance of The Red Jacket Jamboree and his voice was so grave that I feared he had broken an arm, or maybe someone had died. Fortunately, that was not the case, but he did have bad news. Part of the roof of the former Family Dollar store, had collapsed under the weight of 8-10 feet of snow! The collapse blew out a front window sending shards of glass across the road. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
A cave in was bad enough, but it was even more devastating to me and Real People Media because just a a month before, Family Dollar had sent me an email stating that they would donate the building to Real People Media. After the roof collapsed, Family Dollar Corporation decided they would just tear it down. It looked like our dream was over!
But we persisted. I contacted Joe Snow, who was the manager of the the village of Calumet, and explained our situation. Between myself and Joe, we convinced the company to donate the building AND make a separate financial contribution to pay for the roof repair.
And that's what happened. We took possession of the building in July of 2019 and Bill Darnell Construction had the new trusses installed and the roof back on in that month. We saved the 7,600 square foot historic Woolworth's building built in 1948, from demolition!
And even though we have not yet opened, the Keweenaw Storytelling Center is already making a positive impact on the community. We cleaned up the front windows, peeling off orange vinyl left by Family Dollar, and hand painted and installed 9'x12' banners across the entire front. Ever since, we've been creating window displays to celebrate the work of Real People Media and community events including:
Red Jacket Jamboree
Copper Dog 150
Kraft Hockeyville USA
The empty storefront with orange vinyl, as it looked in January 2017 when it was still owned by Family Dollar. The seed was being planted for the Keweenaw Storytelling Center
The historic Woolworth building just after we took possession of it in July 2019.
A lot is happening inside the building too!
Sprayed the 7,600 square foot basement for mold
We're removing 15,000 square foot of flooring/sub floor to reveal the original maple floor
Removed Vinyl window covering
Built a 35 foot window platform
Removed pegboard from walls converting them into Christmas trees!
AND snow removal!
By the end of January 2020, Calumet had 220 inches of snow and the roof had to be shoveled three times! This winter alone, we've invested over 150 man hours to keep the roof clean!! To save costs, Jerry and I volunteered 42 hours of this time, saving RPM over $1,200. Shoveling snow is usually not the work of an Executive Director, but the experience has helped me understand the unique challenges of maintaining our building. I feel I'm able to make informed decisions about our roof in the future. But, I'm really ready to put down my yooper scoop for awhile.
Real People Media is currently revising our architectural renderings and working to figure out the cost of our renovation which will be funded through grants and donations from people like you who care about our mission. We will be announcing our Capital campaign once renovation costs are determined. If you'd like to make a donation or pledge your support before this campaign is announced, we welcome you to do so. You may email me at realpeoplemedia@gmail.com for more information. We look forward to sharing our progress with you!

I'm Asian American and I'm afraid to live in my own country. It's time to end the hate.
The U.S. is my home and I have never felt fear until now. I've never been an activist but rising anti-Asian hate and violence is making me speak out.
Min Chang
I’ve never been afraid of anything in my life. Those that know me, my daughters especially, can attest to this: Their mother is fearless. I’ve always felt that if you work hard and follow your passion, you can achieve anything, especially here in America.
I was born in Taiwan and grew up in Africa. My family came to America in 1972 when I was 7 years old. I didn’t speak a word of English, only French and Chinese. We lived all along the East Coast, and my brother and I changed schools almost every year from grade school to high school. My parents are originally from China. They moved to Taiwan to escape communism and brought us to America after a stint in Africa.
My father worked at a Chinese restaurant and later became a mushroom farmer. My mother was a waitress, acupuncture assistant and stay-at-home mom. I’ve never heard my parents complain about the country or how they were treated as Asians. I was brought up to know that we are American citizens. Even though I’ve traveled all over the world and worked in six continents over the past 35 years, America is my home, where my family and I have felt comfortable living and thriving.
I'm afraid for the first time
All through my life, I’ve never felt discrimination overtly. Looking back, I’m fairly sure there were instances of racism, but I probably didn’t recognize it at the time. Back then, I was focused on finishing school, working on my career and getting ahead. I think today’s generation, my daughters’ generation especially, really understands diversity. And I’m really encouraged to see them speak about it and rally behind it. I’m probably really late to the game since I’ve never protested for anything and I’ve never been an activist or vocal champion for social justice. But today I feel differently.
Although I’ve never experienced it myself, I know my daughters, friends and colleagues have experienced the anti-Asian racism exacerbated by the pandemic. It hurts me deeply to see how it’s affected them, and it’s also impacting me now. With the ongoing anti-Asian attacks across the country, I’m afraid to walk freely in my own community. For the first time, I’m afraid to live in my own country. Seeing video after video of Asians, especially elderly Asians, being assaulted really hit home for me. I know many would agree with me when I say that elderly Asians are some of the kindest, most selfless people in the world. My own parents are a testament to that.
Hate against Asian-Americans:Violence and hate against Asian Americans is a health and safety crisis for everyone
Every time I check the news, the violence only seems to be getting worse. I’m not sure how helpful it is to speak out. And I’m fearful that my speaking out may harm myself and my family. But as a 55-year-old Asian woman, who grew up in this country and has never felt limited or constrained in this country, I also believe I have an obligation to speak out for all of us. If I don’t, then I’m not honoring our Asian Americans.
I’m still afraid, but I think you need a little fear to make progress. And fear can be a great motivator. So, please stop the hate. We are all Americans.

Sooner or Later, it’s All About Money

I was going to write about something totally different today, but when I went to moderate the Comments board this morning there was an excellent question from reader Nina that got my wheels turning in a whole different direction. Nina asked me how I can possibly plan meals a month in advance without knowing what the sales are going to look like, because she — like most people I’ve heard from — plans her meals around whatever the sales flyer looks like that week.
Great strategy. I admire it. And I sort of do that, too, though obviously the game changes a bit when you’re trying to project into the future. But what her questions brought up for me was the thought that I’ve purposely NOT talked about money and budgeting on this blog, and perhaps it’s time to start.
Here’s the thing. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I do not expect that what works for me and my family will work, across the board, without tweaking and tampering, for every other family. I just know what I know. And when it comes to money and your household budget, there are a lot of very personal factors that come into play, none of which are any of my business. One of the factors that should be considered in budgeting, in my humble opinion, is your personal set of family values. But nobody really talks about that.
What I mean is this: when J. and I started learning more and more about the food we eat and where it comes from and what’s in it and what’s good for us and what’s not good for us, and more importantly, what’s good for our KIDS, we had to have a serious discussion. We’re not rich. Not by a long shot. In the past few years, as a matter of fact, we’ve had a lot of the same ups and downs that most Americans have experienced: layoffs, uncertainty, bottomed-out housing values, reduced hours…all of these things and more have affected our well-being and our financial decisions at any given point in our marriage. So I can speak from experience a bit on this issue, and not simply from the throne of (relative) privilege on which I now sit, which looks something like this: We’re solidly middle-class, according to the “official” definitions of that in our particular geographic region (whether we feel it or not!), and we have a very small amount of discretionary income that we can use to pay off debts, put into savings, etc.; we now also have the luxury, which we didn’t have even a year ago, of making values-based decisions when it comes to our food dollars rather than strictly quantity-based decisions. In other words, finally, we can make quality count.
Don’t get me wrong. In order to do that, we’ve got to do most of our other shopping at Target, we don’t really eat out, we have two inexpensive and reliable cars that are nearly paid off and which we’ll run into the ground before trading in, and it’s been years since we’ve given each other Christmas gifts or anything like that. We find other ways to adjust our budget so that we can make the food bill a major priority. Why? Because J. and I firmly believe that investing in the food we eat and feed to our kids now will save us a lot of money and anguish in the future. We’re banking on the notion that our food dollars, well spent, will make us all healthier; happier; better behaved (especially in the case of the children, though J. and I are both nicer, calmer people when we feel well); and better looking. Not really. But good food can do a lot for you, we believe, and we’re willing to spend more for those positive effects.
The three strategies we employ for BETTER food are simple:
1) Scratch-made food. No surprises there. Things you make yourself taste better, generally, than things that come from packages, and they’re better for you.
2) Farmer’s market shopping. Again, this is no surprise to anyone who reads this blog. We are religious about our trips to the farmer’s markets on Saturday mornings, and we try to purchase the bulk of our produce there. (It gets harder in the wintertime, when the available variety of local produce drops off quite a bit in New England…but that’s what locavore culture is about, and this year I intend to do quite a bit better in limiting us to what is seasonal rather than what is comfortable.)
3) Good meat and seafood. By “good,” I mean responsibly raised, not conventionally farmed (in other words, no feedlot cattle); free of antibiotics and hormones; and, if possible, local or as local as possible, and sustainable as much as possible. It’s not easy, and it’s not cheap, but it’s worth it to us.
How does it balance, budget-wise? Well…I won’t lie and say it’s easy. It takes effort. But the scratch cooking thing does help quite a bit — when you just don’t have to buy a lot of processed foods, snacks, etc., you can devote more of your dollars to meats, produce, and whole ingredients. Also, the farmer’s market, though it LOOKS more expensive on the surface (many ingredients appear to command more dollars per pound than at the supermarket), tends to be close to a wash. Before converting to a hard-core market shopper, I analyzed several months’ worth of grocery receipts and discovered an average produce expenditure of $30-$40 per week. At the farmer’s market, I’ll spend $40-$60 most weeks, but we seem to bring home a greater quantity (that’s just anecdotal — I have no proof), and we CERTAINLY waste far less of it. We’re eating everything we buy, which was never the case with supermarket produce. And we’re eating BETTER.
With the meat and seafood, we’re still adjusting to find the optimal balance, I’ll admit — being able to actually consider the quality of these items is still quite new to us. But in general, we’re committing to more vegetarian or pseudo-vegetarian meals (meaning that the squash soup might be made with chicken stock, or I might have used a few stray slices of bacon in the frittata). We’re also trying hard to do more with less; I’ll use 2/3 or 1/2 the amount of meat we used to, and compensate with some of those market fresh vegetables to bulk up the dish. And our latest tweak to the dinner routine — adding plates of sliced fruit, some homemade bread, or another “extra” item like kale chips to the table — helps fill everybody up with less expense.
This week is full of perfect examples. On Sunday, we made our two roast chickens — on the surface, not cheap, with the 10 pounds of high-quality chicken costing $18. By pairing it with several different grain and vegetable options, we got eight portions out of the first chicken. The second chicken has already yielded 3 portions, and the rest of it will be transformed into a chicken pot pie for tomorrow night — conservatively, that recipe will yield 6 servings. By my calculations, that means we’re coming in at just about $1 per serving for very good chicken, which is not shabby by anybody’s standards. Last night’s Spitfire Shrimp — an expensive meal — was stretched out by serving it on a generous bed of market fresh mixed greens. We served cheap and filling quesadillas on the side, with guacamole (made with sale-price avocados) and sliced fruits. While the shrimp probably come out to $2 or even $2.50 per portion, the whole meal was easily $4 or less per serving. You won’t get that kind of deal at any restaurant, nor that kind of quality, both in terms of freshness and health benefit.
I doubt that we’re radically different in our methods than anyone else, but what I’m trying to show is not creativity — it’s commitment. How you find ways to make your values fit into your income, when it comes to food, will be as individual as each reader of this blog, but in the end I think we’re demonstrating every day that it’s possible to find a comfortable compromise. And with that, I leave you with some real food for thought: the recipe for the filling Pumpkin Risotto I made over the weekend, which by my calculations cost all of $1.50 per serving. Rounded out with a salad of mixed greens, avocado, and dried cranberries, we ate like royalty for about $3 per person. Food for thought, indeed.

I love the idea that you are investing in your family’s health by investing in good food. I buy the best of what I can afford and have decided that buying organic and local sends a message to retailers. How else can we get better quality food available to more people if it doesn’t get supported by people purchasing it? I’m glad that I found my way to your blog. I already plan each week ahead at a time and have pondered whether I could do it for longer amounts of time. I think you are on to a great idea!

Hey, thanks! I’m flattered and pleased that you’re happy to have found me. 🙂 I agree completely — the overall “political” dimensions of voting with your wallet are far more imposing than the personal level, and we have to make good purchasing decisions to be the change we want to see in the world. Let me know if you have questions or anything about how to stretch beyond the week-at-a-time model. It’s definitely worth it, in my opinion, but it takes some getting used to!

Thanks for the response!! Your budget/meal plan does follow mine fairly closely in the sense of make from scrath and farmers market. Well, maybe not the farmer’s market so much this year after harvesting more than 200 pounds of food from my back yard but it’s the same principle. I’m just not as organized as you to be able to figure what’s being harvested when and plan around that! And for us, the only real quality local meat is a cattle farmer at our local farmer’s market. Since we’re not big beef eaters it never did seem worth while. We do have an abundance of fish markets but not everyone in the house likes fish.
Nina, if it’s worth the drive to you, the winter farmer’s markets in RI carry local beef, lamb, and poultry. I know it’s a hike from your neck of the woods, but it is possible (lots of people bring coolers!). The prices for the poultry are usually pretty high, though. We compromise on some of the meat items, chicken in particular, by purchasing it from Whole Foods and shopping their sales. Not as local as I would like (or local at all, in some cases), but better quality than the usual supermarket variety, so it’s a step in the right direction. Also, I know there’s a poultry farm in Franklin, MA, which is not SO far from you. It may be worth a trip.
Would absolutely love to have your recipe for the chicken pot pie with pumpkin crust. Found you through weelicious facebook page. My family and I do all scratch made food, buy local as much as possible—we go to the farmers market every Saturday without fail,I do have to fill in with trips to Whole Foods, the local grocery store. However, my boys lunches are the best packed amongst all their peers. I pack a protein, fruit, vegetable and carbohydrate. All homemade. My oldest says that I should get a reward for the best packed lunches of anyone he knows. Both of them eat well and most of the time the lunches come home completely empty. They are older than your boys at 9 and 5. So, I have had some time to get them used to eating like this….we cook at home, we don’t eat out or rarely, we don’t buy packaged or processed snacks. They are also one of the more healthy amongst their peers. Hmmmm….makes you wonder how much diet relates to immunity and the body’s ability to fight off colds/viruses. Anyway, we love your breakfast couscous and would love to try the chicken pot pie. Thanks!
Hi Lisa! Thanks for making your way over here. Glad to see you! (And I’m thrilled that you and your kids like the breakfast couscous! It’s really nice for a change, I think.) I’ll be posting the pot pie recipe this week, so stay tuned. Got more responses to that than I thought I would! Oh, and it was a complete hit in our house — both the kids ate it with absolutely no fuss, other than the 4-year-old negotiating to not have the peas (which was fine; there were lots of different veggies in it, so I wasn’t going to take a stand on the one vegetable I know he just hates). Even J., who does not like pot pie, said it was a great dinner. Gotta love that!
Recipe’s up, Lisa!

Eating across Arkansas
It’s fitting that on the night before Thanksgiving — when those of us across Arkansas are busy in the kitchen or at least thinking about what we will eat the next day — the Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food” program will feature an episode taped in our state.
Overeating will certainly be the norm.
In tonight’s episode — which will air at 9 p.m. — host Adam Richman will go out to the Osborne family’s farm for one of those giant barbecue platters. One Osborne platter is usually enough to feed my family of four for a week, though I haven’t had one in years. When my wife once asked if she could just have the barbecue sandwich, she was told: “Take the whole platter and just say thank you.”
You’ve likely been to an Osborne family barbecue at one time or another if you live in Arkansas. If not, we can tell you that the platter consists of a whole chicken (and not a small one), a beef rib that appears to be more of an elephant rib, a slab of brisket, sausages, a jumbo pulled pork sandwich and one of those turkey legs like you find at the Arkansas State Fair.
Richman next travels to Cotham’s (we assume this is the original location in Scott and not the lunch joint next to the state Capitol) to try to eat four Hubcap burger patties stacked on one bun. I’m getting a bit ill just writing this.
Next, he heads to the Mean Pig in Cabot for a pulled pork sandwich that has something called Shut Up Juice on it. According to the show’s publicist, more than 4,000 people have tried to eat a whole sandwich with Shut Up Juice spread on it and just 64 have succeeded.
Frankly, I don’t want my barbecue sandwich to make me scream. The medium sauce at Craig’s in DeValls Bluff is about right for me.
At any rate, I’ll be watching tonight to see how our state is portrayed.
A question: What is on your Thanksgiving menu? And if you’re reading the post after Thanksgiving, still feel free to share with us what you had that day. I love hearing about the unique dishes that many Arkansas families add to the traditional turkey and dressing.
I’m one of those who believe Thanksgiving to be the ultimate holiday for men. It always falls during the week. There’s plenty of football to watch on television. You’re allowed to eat too much. You’re allowed to take a nap. You don’t have to buy anyone a gift or even a card.
You find your inner child as you even begin the day by watching a parade on television. And when else would you feel obligated to actually watch a Detroit Lions home game? After all, it’s a tradition.
Have a nice Thanksgiving.

College football — Week 13
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
We were 5-0 with our picks last week to bring us to 56-28 for the season. That was not a good thing for the Arkansas schools, mind you, since we picked four of the five to lose.
The Hogs took care of business at War Memorial Stadium. You know your team’s offense is rolling when you score 42 points in an SEC game and everyone states that the offense was “out of sync.” How quickly have Ryan Mallett and Bobby Petrino spoiled us?
A bad season for Arkansas State got even worse Saturday as the Red Wolves were thrashed on the road at Middle Tennessee State. With a record of 2-8, Steve Roberts’ team badly needs victories over two of the weakest teams on its schedule, North Texas and Western Kentucky, in the final two games of the 2009 season.
UCA, meanwhile, continues to lose close games, falling to 5-6 with a four-point loss at McNeese State. The Bears’ six losses have been by margins of three, three, three, four, four and five points.
UAPB was thrashed on the road by a rejuvenated Prairie View A&M program. Prairie View is a school that once set an NCAA record for the most consecutive losses.
And Arkansas Tech ended its season with a loss in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs to Terry Bowden’s North Alabama club, which boasts more than 20 Division I transfers. The Wonder Boys, however, should be proud of their final 9-3 record. Two of those losses came to North Alabama, which likely will win the Division II national title. The other loss came to West Alabama, which made it to the second round of the playoffs. The Gulf South Conference continues to be the SEC of Division II. It was good to see an Arkansas school get one of the conference’s three playoff berths this year.
Here are this week’s picks:
Arkansas 38, LSU 35 — Les Miles is to clock management what Mark Mangino is to proper nutrition. It sure would be fun to be in south Louisiana listening to talk radio this week. At least they have the undefeated Saints. How often through the years have the Saints rather than the Tigers been that state’s football bright spot? This game could be billed as the “give me Liberty or give me Cotton” game. A loss likely puts Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl at Memphis. A win likely puts Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl at Arlington. Would it not be neat for the first Cotton Bowl to be played in Jerry Jones’ new stadium to pit Arkansas against Nebraska? It would come 45 years after an Arkansas team on which Jones played defeated Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl to win a national championship. Jerry could host a reunion of those two teams. The media coverage would be tremendous. His stadium would be packed on Jan. 2 with people wearing red. So can Arkansas win under the lights at Baton Rouge? Those Razorback fans who think it’s going to be easy are delusional. But this Razorback offense gets better by the week. We’ll stay on the bandwagon and predict that the Hogs win late in what will turn into a track meet.
Arkansas State 29, North Texas 21 — We keep thinking the Red Wolves will win again. This would be a good week to do so. In fact, I’m planning to be in Joneboro to see if they can down the Not So Mean Green. North Texas is 2-9. The wins have come over Ball State and Western Kentucky. The losses have been to Ohio, Alabama, Middle Tennessee, Louisiana-Lafayette, Florida Atlantic, Troy, Louisiana-Monroe, Florida International and Army.
UAPB 38, Texas Southern 35 — UAPB is 5-4. Texas Southern is 4-5. The two schools meet at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas on Saturday afternoon for the Lone Star Classic. We think Monte Coleman’s much improved Golden Lions can end their season on a high note.
UCA 24, North Dakota 17 — How on earth do you end your season at home with a nonconference game against North Dakota? We’re not sure. The Fighting Sioux are members of a crazy conference known as the Great West. It’s made up of 10 schools from New Jersey to Texas to California. What a travel nightmare. You’re in New Jersey and in the Great West? West of Ireland? At any rate, this is a 5-5 team that has wins over Northwestern State of Louisiana, South Dakota, Stony Brook (in the much anticipated Potato Bowl), Cal Poly and Southern Oregon. The losses have been to Texas Tech, Stephen F. Austin, Sioux Falls, Southern Utah and UC-Davis. What the heck? Call us homers. We’ll pick all the Arkansas schools to win on this final full week of the regular season.

A week in Little Rock
It was a smart move on the part of the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau to be one of the sponsors of last night’s taping of the NBC “Holiday on Ice” special at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock.
Right there next to the ice was a banner promoting the website www.LittleRock.com. It will be seen by people across the country a week from Sunday when NBC airs its annual “Holiday on Ice” special from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. Sure, there will be NFL games on Fox and CBS that afternoon. But millions of Americans — especially women — will be watching “Holiday on Ice.” I’m told the special will include the musicians and skaters having fun in Little Rock in the days leading up to the taping.
What this does is add to Little Rock’s emerging reputation as a historic, charming, funky, fun Southern city with lots of amenities. You wouldn’t have thought of central Arkansas as the place where NBC would film this show. And that adds to the reputation of this as a place that’s full of surprises.
Brian Boitano led a cast of skaers that included Michael Weiss, Elvis Stojko, Steven Cousins, Caryn Kadavy and others. REO Speedwagon, formed way back in 1967, was there to performing “Keep On Loving You” and “Can’t Fight This Feeling.” This is a group whose 1981 album “Hi Infidelity” sold more than 10 million copies.
Rick Springfield was also there. He’s 60 now, which makes me feel old. And, of course, he performed “Jessie’s Girl,” his hit single from 1981.
A lot of baby boomers will relate to REO Speedwagon, Rick Springfield and Brian Boitano, who won that Olympic gold medal 21 years ago. And they will be watching NBC during the long Thanksgiving weekend and hearing about Little Rock.
It made me think about my week in Little Rock.
At noon Monday, I heard a panel of former Razorback quarterbacks speak. I was part of a crowd of 300 people at the Little Rock Touchdown Club meeting that day. Former Alabama and Kentucky head football coach Bill Curry will be the speaker next Monday at the final meeting of the season for what has become one of the top clubs of its type in the country.
Just before 6 p.m. Tuesday, I drove down the street to the Clinton School of Public Service to hear John King, who is in the news after being named as Lou Dobbs’ replacement in prime time at CNN
On Wednesday night, I grabbed a great dinner at El Dorado on Asher Avenue — one of a plethora of authentic Mexican restaurants now in the city — before heading to one of the finest basketball facilities of its type in the country (UALR’s Jack Stephens Arena) to watch a college basketball game.
On Thursday night, I ate good sushi in North Little Rock and then walked with my wife and youngest son over to the “Holiday on Ice” show.
During the lunch hour Friday, I was at the Clinton Library to hear a fascinating talk by David Walker, who ran the U.S. Government Accountability Office for almost a decade.
On Saturday, I plan to attend a Southeastern Conference football game at War Memorial Stadium. The SEC, of course, is the home of the finest college football in America.
All of this in the course of six days. All of this within minutes of my home. All of this without having to leave work early. I didn’t even mention that President Clinton was in town for several days, doing a series of events. Dick Morris was even in town. I doubt the two men met with each other!
Despite the city’s problems — and there are a lot — in many ways these are the good ol’ days in Little Rock.

I’ve written about Memphis before. It’s a city where I spent a lot of time in my job with the Delta Regional Authority and a city I’ve always enjoyed visiting.
It’s a city blessed with that great location on the Mississippi River and a fascinating history. It also has been a city cursed in recent decades with high crime rates, spiraling poverty rates, rapid outmigration and racial tension. Little Rock has its own problems, but those problems often pale in comparison to what’s happening two hours down the road in Memphis.
As a place that’s important to tens of thousands of people who live in east Arkansas, it’s important to all Arkansans that Memphis does well. The late Willie Morris of Mississippi, who might just be my favorite writer, once said that the two most imporant cities in Mississippi are Memphis and New Orleans. In that vein, it would be safe to say that the most important city in east Arkansas is Memphis.
I sometimes find myself feeling sorry for Memphis, even in the realm of sports. Memphis residents love to talk about sports. The city, in fact, has three all-sports radio stations. Driving around the Delta, I often would alternate between shows on 560 AM, 680 AM and 730 AM out of Memphis.
I was in a hotel room in downtown St. Louis on the night of April 7, 2008, watching the Memphis Tigers blow that big lead down the stretch and lose to Kansas in overtime in the NCAA title game. I grieved for the city, knowing what a boost in morale this would have been for people who were hungry for something good to happen.
Having failed in its long effort to secure an NFL franchise — the old Houston Oilers went to Nashville after one lonely season in exile at Memphis — Memphis finally secured an NBA franchise. But that team has been terrible. It has a bad owner and has been poorly managed. The Fed-Ex Forum is a gorgeous downtown facility, but most seats are empty these days whenever the Grizzlies play. The recent effort to bring Allen Iverson to the team was a disaster. The 34-year-old guard played only three games with Memphis, all in California. He began an indefinite leave of absence on Nov. 7 to deal with a “personal issue” and then was waived by the team earlier this week.
Over at the University of Memphis, head football coach Tommy West was fired earlier this month and went out firing at the school. During a news conference, he said: “Put something in it, or do away with it. One or the other. That’s what they should do. … There’s a negativity here that, in the end, eats you up. It’s hard to win. In today’s game, it’s harder to win than it has ever been. And if you have to fight battles around your own program and around your own campus and around your own city, it’s hard. It makes it very difficult.”
Take that, Memphis.
This all comes in the same year that John Calipari took off for Kentucky, leaving forfeited games in his wake.
There simply are no bright spots when it comes to the Grizzlies. But, at the college level, the Tigers appear to have a bright young basketball coach in Josh Pastner. The Tigers came close to knocking off Kansas earlier this week, falling 57-55 in a nationally televised game and proving that Memphis basketball is still relevant. And Pastner’s recruiting efforts have been outstanding thus far. At least one recruiting ranking now has Memphis at No. 1 based on current commitments.
Columnist Geoff Calkins wrote in The Commercial Appeal earlier this week: “In the seven months since Pastner was given the Memphis coaching job by default, he has persuaded half a dozen elite recruits to play for the Tigers. Imagine what Pastner will do when he has a full year to recruit. Which is a joke, of course. The guy can’t do better than this. Because this is impossible. This was the job that couldn’t be done. There was no way anyone could replace John Calipari. There was no way any other coach could get national recruits to come to a Conference USA school. Without Calipari, Memphis would go back to being a nice, plucky regional program. Instead, Memphis is No. 1.”
By the way, central Arkansas basketball enthusiasts will have a chance to see this Memphis team when the Tigers play UALR at 2 p.m. on Dec. 12 in North Little Rock’s Verizon Arena.
The city received another dose of great news Wednesday when the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a $90 million grant to the Memphis public schools. The seven-year project is designed to raise teaching levels. Under the plan, the most talented teachers will be moved into the classrooms where they are needed most. The district will now pay top-tier salaries approaching six figures.
The best news of all, though, is that Memphis has a new mayor. Finally. It’s not that he’s a fresh face. The city’s new mayor, A.C. Wharton, previously served as Shelby County mayor. Wharton is not spring chicken, either. He’s 65. But after 18 years, the controversial, often incompetent Willie Herenton is gone from the Memphis mayor’s office, having retired from his fifth term on July 30 under the cloud of a federal investigation.
Wharton cruised to victory last month with 60 percent of the vote against 24 opponents (that’s right — 24) in the special election to replace the man they called King Willie. Memphis badly needed a change at the top, and Wharton provides just that as he serves the final two years of Herenton’s term. Wharton said his victory marked the end of an era “apathy, of divisiveness, of hatred, of discord.”
Once can only hope he’s right. A Commercial Appeal investigation revealed that between 2004 and July of this year, Herenton managed to steer an extra $240,000 of government money into his pockets. Herenton’s salary as mayor was $171,500.
As Calkins wrote back in August: “Willie Herenton wants you to know that he is not crazy. Just as Richard Nixon wanted you to know that he was not a crook. Just as Roger Clemens wanted you to know that he did not take steroids. Just as Bill Clinton wanted you to know that he did not have sexual relations with that woman. Just as Larry Craig wanted you to know that he was not gay. All these centuries later, that other Willie — Shakespeare — had it right, didn’t he? Thou dost protest too much.”
Good luck, Memphis.
The Grizzlies stink. Your college football team is just as bad. You will never have an NFL franchise. Razorback fans are hoping for the Cotton Bowl rather than your Liberty Bowl. The Pyramid is still empty. And you even lost the Mid-South Fair.
But Mayor Herenton is out of office. Something positive finally happened in your public schools. You stumbled upon one of the most exciting young coaches in college basketball. So stop being so down on yourselves, Memphis residents. You’re beginning to make the infamous Arkansas inferiority complex seem minor.
Your city is authentic, funky and fun, far from one of those manufactured New South cities. I’ll be back soon.

My breakfast with Walter
In an earlier post, I mentioned the breakfast I shared with Dr. Walter M. Kimbrough, the president of Philander Smith College.
During the course of our breakfast conversation, Dr. Kimbrough talked about his upbringing in Atlanta and the effect that the Atlanta University Center has had on that city. The Atlanta University Center consists of historically black colleges and universities — Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, Morehouse College and the Morehouse School of Medicine.
Morehouse, the alma mater of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Spike Lee, is an all-male institution with about 2,900 students. Formerly the Atlanta Baptist Seminary, it has a strong tradition. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, who became its president in 1940, was a mentor to Dr. King and delivered his eulogy in April 1968. Morehouse students and graduates played a central role in the civil rights movement.
Spelman, a women’s college with about 2,300 students, began in 1881 as the Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary. In April 1884, John D. Rockefeller paid off the school’s debt. The name was changed to Spelman Seminary in honor of Rockefeller’s wife, Laura Spelman.
Clark Atlanta University is the product of the 1988 consolidation of Clark College and Atlanta University. Atlanta University was founded in 1865 by the American Missionary Association with later assistance from the Freedman’s Bureau. Clark College was founded in 1869 by the Freedman’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
What Dr. Kimbrough witnessed during his years in Atlanta was this: Talented black students would come to Atlanta from across the country to attend college and then stay there following graduation. Their contributions helped Atlanta become the South’s largest and, in many ways, most dynamic city. While the authorities in Birmingham were turning fire hoses on black citizens, Atlanta was billing itself as “the city too busy to hate.”
Dr. Kimbrough believes Philander Smith and its neighbor a few blocks away, Arkansas Baptist College, can become a smaller version of the Atlanta University Center. With articulate, dynamic presidents — Fitz Hill at Arkansas Baptist and Walter Kimbrough at Philander Smith — these schools are now in a position to attract more financial support from the Little Rock business community, recruit additional students and help give new life to the neighborhoods that surround their campuses.
Here’s the vision: Some of the graduates from elsewhere fall in love with Little Rock and decide to stay. They buy homes near their alma maters and chose to raise their families in those neighborhoods. Young, successful couples, in turn, revitalize a historic part of Little Rock.
Dr. Kimbrough, who spent five years at Albany State University, says there is far less racial tension in Little Rock than there was in Albany and the rest of south Georgia. He remembers that his first impression of Little Rock in 2004 was how nice the people were. With the increasing array of cultural activities in the city — including his own “Bless the Mic” lecture series and the lecture series at the Clinton School of Public Service — Dr. Kimbrough believes Little Rock is in a position to be a mecca for students from other states. Already, almost 40 percent of Philander Smith’s students come from outside Arkansas. Two of the school’s strongest alumni chapters are in Chicago and Los Angeles.
Dr. Kimbrough also wants Philander Smith to be known for its social justice initiative. He defines social justice as “ensuring equity for people regardless of their backgrounds. You don’t want people to be automatically disadvantaged just because they belong to a particular group.”
Of course, once equal opportunity is ensured, it’s up to the individual how much he or she achieves. That’s why Dr. Kimbrough makes giving back to the community a part of the initiative.
“Very few colleges in the state have a truly distinct identity,” the Philander Smith president says. “What are we going to be known for? As a small school, we need to establish our identity.”
Both the Philander Smith and the Arkansas Baptist presidents have made clear that they expect their students to give back. In their minds, the goal of college is not just to obtain a degree and be able to make a lot of money.
During our breakfast, Dr. Kimbrough spoke of the low percentage of parents who attend parent-teacher conferences at some schools in the Little Rock School District.
“That’s ridiculous,” he said. “You have to make time for your children. You have to make time for your community. It’s not all about yourself. Those are the kinds of things we’re trying to stress with the social justice initiative. We’re giving students a chance to discuss issues such as these. We want to be a part of developing the next generation of leaders for this city and state.”
Kimbrough also established the school’s black male initiative. The Philander Smith website describes it this way: “After looking at the abysmal graduation rates, the president pulled together a committee to begin to look for new ways to engage the men on campus. Through a series of special events for the men, the black male initiative provided opportunities for men to connect with each other, and with faculty and staff. The support of the Philander community was enlisted to serve as mentors for the males on campus. The goods news is that they came together and embraced the concept of being their brother’s keeper. Their goal is to impact lives through involvement and support as the males strive for their objective — to graduate.”
Dr. Kimbrough told me: “We want this to be a model program that others can adopt. A lot of these guys are now sharing the problems they face for the first time. They had never talked about their problems before.”
Earlier this year, Philander Smith purchased and razed what had been the Brick House liquor store across the street. The school also has purchased abandoned houses on Chester Street. Participants in the Black Male Initiative then painted a fence and helped clean the lot where the liquor store had been.
Over at Arkansas Baptist, Fitz Hill has bought more than a dozen homes and even a car wash in the neighborhood surrounding his school.
And the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has formed the University District Partnership in an effort to improve the neighborhoods surrounding UALR.
Partnership director Ron Copeland told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette back in March: “Twenty or 30 years ago, redevelopment often focused on major corporations as anchors. What we’ve seen is private businesses often merge or move or fail. Philander Smith, UALR, Arkansas Baptist College, UAMS — these are major institutions that will be there for the next century. So, to the extent that they have a strong physical and economic presence in their areas, they will continue to be anchors well into the future. … Our advisers tell us that commerce follows people. Our emphasis is creating a quality of life that will attract families, and then businesses and services will follow them.”
Dr. Kimbrough said that when he’s selling potential students on Philander Smith, he’s also selling Little Rock as a city. He would like to see programs such as the social justice initiative and the black male initiative receive national recognition.
“Outside recognition will change the game for us,” Kimbrough says. “It will give Philander Smith more validity. We want to become a model for how we educate our students.”
In the process, a historic part of Little Rock could be revitalized.

It was with great delight that I picked up Saturday’s Wall Street Journal and found a half-page spread on Eureka Springs. The article appeared in a special section on retirement planning and living.
Eureka Springs simply could not have received better publicity than this. This article will be read by exactly the kind of people the town should be targeting — well-educated, well-traveled, wealthy, sophisticated, nearing retirement age.
Like many Arkansans, I’ve often found myself frustrated with Eureka Springs and its leadership (or lack thereof). I just never felt that Eureka Springs had lived up to its potential as a nationally recognized tourism destination. It seemed there was always a fight brewing — the mayor was fighting with members of the city council, the business owners up on the highway were fighting with the business owners downtown, etc., etc.
I would say to myself: “The boom that occurred in Branson should have occurred in Eureka Springs. All of that tax revenue could have gone to our state.”
As I have grown older, however, my position has changed. I now find myself saying: “Thank goodness that the boom that occurred in Branson didn’t occur in Eureka Springs. All of that traffic, all of those music theaters with faux patriotic themes and all of those outlet malls would have ruined the place. Eureka Springs is authentic, not manufactured to attract tour buses filled with elderly folks from Illinois.”
And I now think the infighting is part of the eclectic charm of the place they used to call Little Switzerland.
Still, as Eureka Springs further defines itself, its best niches will be:
1. Well-to-do couples who travel there to enjoy its spas, restaurants and art galleries. After all, Eureka Springs has a 125-year tradition of providing mineral baths and steam treatments. Spa services have expanded in the past decade, and that’s a trend that needs to continue. The spas must become even more upscale to reach this demographic. Eureka Springs also needs to continue to increase the size of its artisan community and become one of the top arts and cultural destinations in the region.
2. Retirees. They will bring their talents and their volunteer spirit. They will drive up home values. They will provide a source of income for restaurants and shops in the months when tourism lags.
There always will be a place for the motorcycle enthusiasts driving through the Ozarks and the church groups in town to see the Great Passion Play. But an even brighter future could rest on well-to-do older couples who come to visit and later decide to stay.
The Wall Street Journal article is aimed at those very couples. It tells the story of Steven Hudson and his wife, Patsy, who decided to move out of the New Orleans area when they retired. They were looking for a place on the water that was far enough inland to avoid hurricanes. They wanted hills or mountains and a four-season climate.
“The beauty of the area fascinates us,” Steven Hudson says. “There is a true sense of community here. Everybody is very friendly.”
The article also tells the story of Jaci and Robert Lang, who retired to Eureka Springs from their home near Chicago. Then there are Tom and Fran Carlin, who moved to Eureka Springs from San Diego. Fran Carlin is an artist specializing in mosaics who works out of a studio in her home.
The writer of the article, Ann Carrns, describes Eureka Springs as a town “noted for its well-preserved Victorian buildings, frequent festivals and active arts community. … Eureka Springs now claims some 200 working artists who work in varied media and display their creations in 20 local galleries. … And from spring through fall, there are almost weekly festivals on themes as varied as blues music, gay pride, Native Americans and remote-controlled airplanes.”
It’s just the sort of article those who love Eureka Springs should hope for. And, in the pages of The Wall Street Journal, it’s reaching the proper demographic.
A trio of questions for you:
1. Where’s your favorite place to stay in Eureka Springs? It can be a bed-and-breakfast inn, a hotel or a motel. Just don’t say “in my car while parked on Spring Street.”
2. What’s your favorite restaurant in Eureka Springs and why? What do you order when you are there?
3. If I were to choose a spa in Eureka Springs, which one should I choose?
Saturday was a marvelous day for football. The weather was more like what you would expect to find in late September rather than the middle of November. In case you’ve forgotten, it can get awfully cold in Fayetteville for a night game in the middle of November.
This past Saturday night, however, I never put my jacket on in Fayetteville.
My football Saturday had started by being the first person in the door when C.J.’s at Russellville opened at 11 a.m. Is there a better hamburger in the state than what’s served at C.J.’s? If so, cast your vote. I want to know about it.
From there, it was off to the campus of Arkansas Tech University for the noon kickoff of the NCAA Division II playoff game between the Wonder Boys and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Nick Graziano, the Wonder Boys’ senior transfer from the University of Nevada, is the real deal at quarterback. He was 33 of 54 passing with no interceptions, four touchdowns and 465 yards.
UNC-Pembroke, mind you, came in with a 9-1 record and ranked No. 11 in Division II. At 8-2 coming in, Tech was ranked No. 21. But we suspected all along that the visitors from the East Coast had not seen the kind of speed one sees in the Gulf South Conference.
The Gulf South is to Division II what the SEC is to Division I — the finest football conference in the land. Those Arkansans who have never checked out a Gulf South game need to make it a point to do so next fall. It was never a game Saturday afternoon. Tech jumped out to a 24-0 lead and won going away, 41-13.
Now the Wonder Boys must travel to Florence, Ala., to play Terry Bowden’s University of North Alabama squad that was ranked first in the country before being upset in the final game of the regular season by West Alabama. North Alabama defeated Tech, 42-17, back on Oct. 3. We expect it will be much closer this time around.
After the Tech game, we made the drive to Fayetteville, arriving early enough to grab something at Foghorn’s down by Baum Stadium. Then, we watched another amazing performance by a quarterback. With the quality coaching of Bobby Petrino, Ryan Mallett gets better each game. He was 23 of 30 passing for 405 yards and five touchdowns against a Troy team that had won seven consecutive games.
This was not Eastern Michigan. This was a decent opponent. But the Razorback offense is clicking at this point. It will be interesting to see if the offensive magic continues Saturday at War Memorial Stadium.
The two quarterbacks I saw lead their teams to victory Saturday were a combined 56 of 84 passing for 870 yards and nine touchdowns with only one interception.
So on the same day, I had the best hamburger in the state, saw the only two college football games being played in the state, saw both Arkansas teams win, saw one of the best Division II quarterbacks in the country and saw one of the best Division I quarterbacks in the country. It was a perfect Saturday.
Playing on the road, Arkansas State and UCA continued to disappoint us. We had picked all four Arkansas schools — Arkansas, Arkansas State, UCA and Arkansas Tech — to win Saturday.
ASU benched quarterback Corey Leonard, the school’s all-time leader in total offense, and played redshirt freshman Ryan Aplin instead. The freshman was 20 of 27 passing for 168 yards, but it wasn’t enough in a 35-18 loss to Howard Schnellenberger’s Florida Atlantic squard. The Red Wolves fall to 2-7 overall and 1-4 in the Sun Belt Conference.
UCA, meanwhile, has now lost five games by a total of 18 points. Saturday’s loss was by a score of 17-14 on the road at Sam Houston State. The Bears fall to 5-5 overall and 2-4 in the Southland Conference. I bet this season has aged Coach Clint Conque by a decade.
What’s especially frustrating is that both ASU and UCA were supposed to have great seasons this year. That’s why we keep picking them, thinking they will live up to their potential. We’ll pick against both this week and see what happens.
We were 2-2 last week, making us 51-28 for the season.
Arkansas 38, Mississippi State 21 — Here’s a reality check: Both of these teams are 2-4 in the SEC and tied for last place in the SEC West. Thus the game Saturday is a battle to see who will be alone in last place for at least a week. So why is it such a tough ticket? It’s a hot ticket because Arkansas fans can see the progress. They know where this program is headed under Petrino. And they know they may have something really special in Mallett. The Bulldogs are 4-6 overall with one of the toughest schedules in the country. The wins have come over Jackson State, Vanderbilt, Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. The losses have come to Auburn, LSU, Georgia Tech, Houston, Florida and Alabama. The Hogs go to 7-4 overall with a win Saturday, meaning a berth in the Cotton Bowl will be on the line the following week when they head to Baton Rouge to take on LSU.
Middle Tennessee 31, Arkansas State 28 — We just don’t see the Red Wolves getting it done of the road at this point against a Middle Tennessee team that is 7-3. The Middle Tennessee losses were to Clemson, Troy and Mississippi State. The wins have come over Memphis, Maryland, North Texas, Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, Florida International and Louisiana-Lafayette.
McNeese State 35, UCA 32 — The Bears’ five losses have been by margins of five, four, three, three and three points. So we will pick them to lose by three in Lake Charles. McNeese is 8-2 and tied for first in the Southland Conference with Stephen F. Austin. McNeese’s losses were to Tulane and Stephen F. Austin. The victories have come over Henderson, Appalachian State, Savannah State, Northwestern State of Louisiana, Southeastern Louisiana, Nicholls State, Sam Houston State and Texas State.
Prairie View A&M 24, UAPB 14 — The Golden Lions have had two weeks to prepare for a road game against a Prairie View team that is 7-1 overall and 6-0 in the SWAC. Prairie View secured its first SWAC Western Division title Saturday with a 34-14 victory over Alcorn State. Faced with scheduling problems, Prairie View plays only nine regular season games this year. So this is the final game of the regular season for Prairie View. But the Panthers have secured a spot in the SWAC championship game on Dec. 12 at Legion Field in Birmingham. UAPB is much improved in its second year under Monte Coleman with records of 3-2 in conference and 5-3 overall.
North Alabama 38, Arkansas Tech 34 — Graziano has been on fire the past several weeks. I would not be suprised if the Wonder Boys pull the upset. They’re playing with confidence. But we’ll stick with the home team for now.
The arts in Arkansas
In late September, I wrote a column for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette about what the Arkansas Arts Center means to our state. I referred to the opening of the “World of the Pharaohs” exhibition as a high-water mark in the 50-year history of what’s now the arts center. This exhibition was brought to Little Rock by Warren and Harriet Stephens and will run through July 5.
Officials at the arts center hope the current exhibition will attract 300,000 people during its run of slightly more than nine months. People are traveling not just from Arkansas but from surrounding states to view an exhibition that includes statues, sculptures, mummies, jewelry and Egyptian art spanning more than 3,000 years of history.
The Arkansas Arts Center has extended its hours for this event. The hours are from 9 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. each Tuesday, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. each Wednesday through Friday and from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on weekends.
Soon after that column was published, I received a delightful letter from Jeane Hamilton, an honorary lifetime member of the arts center board. I had noted in the column how the late Winthrop Rockefeller had taken on the Arts Center as a pet project, believing that Arkansans should have access to some of the same cultural amenities to which he had access back in New York.
“We would not be what we are today without the arrival of Win Rockefeller in our midst,” Ms. Hamilton wrote. “It was my memorable experience to be one of the three young women to go up to (Rockefeller’s ranch atop Petit Jean Mountain) for a late Sunday luncheon with Win and Jeannette in February 1959. … Our mission was to ask Win to be chairman of our forthcoming fund-raising campaign. We were then thinking in terms of a Little Rock Community Arts Center.
“After we presented our ideas to Win, I will never forget what he said: ‘Well, girls, if we are going to build an arts center, it needs to be an Arkansas Arts Center serving the whole state of Arkansas.’ Win agreed to serve as vice chairman for a statewide campaign. He also suggested the idea of an Artmobile that would travel throughout the state, which he and his brother, David, later gave to us. The rest is history.”
And what a marvelous history it has been.
In 1959, when those three Little Rock women made the trip to Petit Jean, the public high schools in Little Rock were closed. The televised images of the Little Rock Central High School crisis of 1957 were fresh on the minds of people across the country. Economic development had come to a halt.
Nan Plummer, the current Arkansas Arts Center director, wrote me after the column about “an arc from those dreadful days of 1959 to the celebration of ‘World of the Pharaohs,’ encompassing 50 years. … I am keenly aware of this trajectory — all the names of our great benefactors and founders you cite are on the walls around me, if not on my lips, every day. It’s both exhilarating and humbling to work in an art museum, where the creative intention of geniuses to communicate their ideas from the distant and not-so-distant past fills the rooms, and where the benevolence of so many over so long a time makes all our efforts, big and small, possible.”
You owe it to yourself to visit this remarkable exhibition. While there, think of the cultural amenity the Arkansas Arts Center has become for the people of our state during the past five decades.

Flaming fall review
There was a time when tourism promoters in Arkansas would refer to it as the “flaming fall review,” the changing of the colors in the Ouachita Mountains, the Ozark Mountains and other parts of the state.
A sure sign of autumn in Arkansas is seeing the charter buses filled with retired people from places like Texas and Oklahoma, where a mesquite is considered a tree rather than a bush. Just two weeks ago today, a friend from the Mississippi Delta called me. She was on the way to Harrison for a weekend that would be spent looking at the leaves.
It’s starting to get late for fall colors in some parts of our state. The weekly fall foliage report from the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism stated yesterday: “Travelers will notice a small amount of late-season color remaining during the weekend, but nothing widespread.”
Still, there always seems to be a late-season burst here in Little Rock. I can remember years when I thought the colors actually were at their best on Thanksgiving. And with the temperature at 39 degrees this morning when I stepped out to get my newspapers (yes, plural. I am a dinosaur. I like to read things on paper, and I still get more than one newspaper at home), I was in an autumn kind of mood.
I sat in with Tommy Smith on KABZ-FM, 103.7, for a couple of hours yesterday, and we discussed favorite rural drives in Arkansas. It’s likely a little late for the colors to be at their peak on most of these drives, but these are fun drives most times of the year if you simply want to get in the car and get away for the day:
1. Take Highway 10 west out of Little Rock all the way to Danville. Then, take Highway 80 west through Blue Ball and Union Hill to Waldron.
2. As an alternate route, once you get to Danville, take Highway 27 south all the way down to Mount Ida.
3. Take Highway 8 west out of Arkadelphia and go through Alpine, Amity, Glenwood, Caddo Gap, Norman, Black Springs, Big Fork and Board Camp all the way to Mena.
4. Take Highway 21 from Clarksville all the way to Berryville. Make sure to stop for a hamburger at Ozone.
5. As an alternate route, take a right off Highway 21 at Boxley onto Highway 74 and follow that road over to Jasper and eventually east to Bass.
6. The Pig Trail (Highway 23) remains a classic north of Ozark. Rather than taking a left at Brashears onto Highway 16, stay on Highway 23 all the way to Eureka Springs. As a shorter loop, turn right at Cass onto Highway 215 and follow it to Oark. You can then take Highway 103 south back down to Clarksville.
7. Highway 7 from Hot Springs north to Harrison is also a classic. But I think that the drive south out of Hot Springs on Highway 7 all the way to the Louisiana line should be rated more highly as a rural excursion. You go through some of the state’s most beautiful forests along that route. One drawback this fall is that part of the road has been under water due to flooding along the Ouachita River.
8. Take Highway 69 from Batesville to Melbourne. At Melbourne, get on Highway 9 and take it all the way to Mammoth Spring.
9. Take Highway 9 north out of Morrilton and follow it to Choctaw. Then follow U.S. 65 north only as far as Clinton. Take a right at Clinton and drive along Highway 9 to Shirley and then on to Mountain View for music on the square.
10. For a nice drive through the south Arkansas woods, where the hardwoods loose their leaves later, take Highway 63 south from Pine Bluff to Warren to El Dorado.
These are routes for looking at trees. I also love driving in the Delta, looking at the crops. We’ll come back with favorite east Arkansas drives at a later time.
What are your favorite rural drives in Arkansas?

Two leaders for Little Rock
No one denies that the continued growth of the institutions of higher education that call this area home is key to the future of Little Rock and Central Arkansas. In Pulaski County, however, the conversation too often ends after discussing the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Pulaski Technical College.
UAMS, UALR and Pulaski Tech must indeed be major players in the growth of this region. But the focus on higher education cannot end there. Little Rock is the home of two historically black colleges with long, proud histories — Philander Smith College and Arkansas Baptist College. The two schools are within blocks of each other south of Interstate 630. They’re anchors for their neighborhoods.
And, to the lasting benefit of the capital city and our entire state, these institutions are led by two of the most dynamic leaders in Arkansas. If I had to make a list of people under the age of 50 (sadly, I no longer qualify) who will play important roles in moving Arkansas forward during the next decade, both Dr. Walter Kimbrough of Philander Smith and Dr. Fitz Hill of Arkansas Baptist would be on that list.
As I pointed out in a recent column in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, I’ve known Fitz Hill since he was a child. The public schools in Arkadelphia became integrated when I was in the third grade. Fitz’ older brother and I were in the same grade and friends from the third through the 12 grades. I knew Fitz would be a leader. As a fellow Arkadelphian, I’m proud of what he has accomplished.
In fact, I’ve always thought Fitz could be the first black governor of Arkansas if he ever set his mind to the task. That said, I don’t think his interest is politics. He has found his mission at Arkansas Baptist. However, the old political strategist in me cannot help but play out the scenario in my mind — Fitz obviously would receive heavy support from black voters and others who would like to see a black governor. But lots of rural good ol’ boys, who loved him when he was “Coach Hill” at the University of Arkansas, would support him because they don’t necessarily view the world in black and white when it comes to this individual. They see him as Razorback red. In Arkansas, that is something that should not be underestimated among male voters. To put it delicately, many of these white males likely are voters who wouldn’t otherwise support a black candidate. Veterans would support their fellow veteran. Fitz served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. receiving the Bronze Star. And educators no doubt would love to see a fellow educator in the Governor’s Mansion.
Enough of that. As stated, Fitz has found his mission as he attempts to transform not only Arkansas Baptist but also the neighborhoods surrounding the school.
As for Walter Kimbrough, I’ve watched his accomplishments with interest since he was hired in December 2004 as the 12th president of Philander Smith. He was 37 at the time, one of the youngest college presidents in the country. He grew up in Atlanta, where his father was a Methodist minister and his mother was an author.
I had the pleasure of sharing breakfast with him this morning at the Capital Hotel, and he told me he set his mind on becoming a college president at age 23. When he came to Philander Smith, he said the school was best known around Little Rock as “having some nice new buildings and a great choir.”
That was good, but he wanted more. On the school’s website, he lists Philander Smith’s mission as producing “academically accomplished students, grounded as advocates for social justice, determined to intentionally change the world for the better.”
Dr. Kimbrough’s “Bless the Mic” lecture series has drawn a long line of nationally known speakers to the Philander Smith campus and increased awareness of the school.
He also launched the Black Male Initiative in 2007. He was concerned that the six-year graduation rates at the school in 2006 were only 21 percent for black women and 11 percent for black men. In an article published earlier this year in Inside Higher Ed, Kimbrough said: “We deal with a lot of first-generation students, a lot of students who come from what I would consider to be horrible K-12 systems. If you admit students like that, you’ve got to do extra things for them. That’s the part that I didn’t see happening. We’ve admitted them, so what are we doing extra to really boost them? … Men really need to have these supportive and nurturing environments. It’s not just as simple as they need more tutoring. You could provide the tutoring, and the guys won’t come.”
The national six-year graduation rate for black students at four-year institutions is 40.5 percent. It’s 56.1 percent overall and 59.4 percent for white students. The graduation rate for black men trails the rate for black women significantly.
The Philander Smith president is involved in a number of Black Male Initiative events each year. They range from fashion contests to golf lessons to lessons on how to properly tie a tie.
He told Inside Higher Ed: “When institutions have these kinds of programs for any group, the so-called usual suspects attend, the guys who are already involved, who are in leadership positions, who are doing well academically. What we’re trying to do now is have events and then personally ask guys who never come to anything to come. We’re a small campus so we pretty much know everyone or know something about them. We clearly know the people who no one knows anything about. We know who they are.”
It would be wise for the white business leadership of Little Rock to support Philander Smith and Arkansas Baptist. If Little Rock is to really become the “next great Southern city” or whatever the latest public relations slogan coming out of City Hall is, Philander Smith and Arkansas Baptist need to thrive.
We have two of the top HBCU leaders in America right here in Little Rock. They’re young, they’re articulate, they’re energetic. It behooves all of us to help them succeed.

Mershad Bozorgi gave a multimedia presentation on the uses and benefits of three Essential Oils for health and well being.
Among other uses, lemon oil is calming in nature and can help reduce stress and promote sleep. According to the International Journal of Food Microbiology, lemon oil may be the most powerful anti-microbial agent of all of the essential oils. A study published in Experimental Biology and Medicine found that lemon oil aroma improved neurological activity that promotes the breakdown of fat.
Peppermint oil has 21 health benefits, including relief of pain and many gastric issues.
Lavendar oil has been used as a medicine for over 2,500 years. Mershad listed 13 benefits, including a calming/sleep aid and relief of cuts, burns, inflammation and other skin problems.
Mortgage broker Andre Hemmersbach presented a synopsis of the challenges and resolutions of some of his recent cases. To get a mortgage, a client must have sufficient equity and income, and must not be overburdened with debt. Each of the cases initially lacked at least one of these elements and he briefly showed how he restuctured the deal to achive the loan. He can typically be more successful than a bank in funding a loan because he is usually more experienced. He also has a greater range of funding sources, each with differing requirements.

The Community Cardiac Diagnostic Service operates appointment based clinics which aim to provide a flexible, locally accessible service at a time and venue convenient for you. The service is provided across Liverpool (5 days a week).
The Community Cardiac Diagnostic Service has clinics by appointment which aim to offer a flexible, local service at a time and venue convenient for you. The service is provided across Liverpool 5 days a week.
The team is committed to providing a clinically effective service to all our patients in the community.
The department offers Electrocardiograms (ECG’s) and 24 hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to patients in Liverpool.
Electrocardiograms (ECG’s)
An ECG is a way of recording your heart rhythm and the hearts electrical activity. The heart produces tiny electrical impulses which cause the heart muscle to contract. These impulses can be detected and recorded by an ECG. The test can help to diagnose various symptoms.
This is a non-invasive procedure involving ten sticky patches (Electrodes) being placed on the body. Six electrodes are placed on the chest and one electrode on each arm and leg. You will not be able to feel anything as this happens.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (BP)
You will be fitted with a cuff to wear around your arm which is attached to a small machine that records your blood pressure over a period of 24 hours. The cuff will inflate regularly during the day and night. You will be asked to keep a diary or a log of your activities while you are wearing the monitor. You will need to return to the clinic the following day to have the recorder removed.
Clinics are available at the following locations:
Old Swan Health Centre, Crystal Close, St Oswald’s Street, L13 2GA
South Liverpool NHS Treatment Centre, Church Road, Garston, L19 2LW
Norris Green Family Health Clinic, Townsend Avenue, L11 5AF

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s re-election would allow policy continuity in combating terrorism. What is his legacy? What should be done to improve it?
DURING THE first term of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s administration, Indonesia suffered from various of terror attacks perpetrated by Islamic State (IS) and its affiliated networks. The recent arrest of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)’s leader Para Wijayanto also showed that this organisation will never fade away and will continually pose a challenge.
Jokowi’s administration has taken significant steps to deal with the perennial threat of terrorism, ranging from legal frameworks to a new model of rehabilitation. While these policies are still far from perfect, they provide valuable lessons to enhance the counterterrorism efforts in Jokowi’s second term.
Evolving Challenges
At the end of 2018, Indonesia’s National Police (POLRI) Chief General Tito Karnavian claimed that terrorism and radicalism will remain major security threats in 2019. President Jokowi also echoed Karnavian’s statement in July 2019 when he delivered a speech on the 73rd Anniversary of POLRI and asserted that POLRI should remain alert.
Jokowi’s predecessors, Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, had established various policy frameworks to deal with terrorism. Megawati, for instance, issued a government regulation in lieu (Perppu) in response to Bali Bombing 2002. The Perppu was eventually ratified as the Law No. 15/2003 on terrorism.
Yudhoyono formed the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) that acts as a coordinating institution in the fight against counterterrorism. These frameworks had been quite effective to eliminate terror attacks in Indonesian soil, particularly JI-affiliated attacks.
However, Jokowi could no longer rely on the old establishment due to the changing terrorism landscape. The nexus of terrorist networks in Indonesia does not only revolve around JI. The rapid use of social media has transformed the recruitment process which is not limited to a face-to-face interaction.
Furthermore, Indonesian IS sympathisers do not have a rigid structure and the chain of command tends to be loose. Security apparatus often struggles to connect the dots between the small cells and the larger organisational structure. Deported terrorist suspects and returning Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTF) also compound the problems.
Jokowi’s administration has built its own legacy in fighting terrorism. In the aftermath of the East Java Bombings of 2018, Jokowi urged parliamentary members to expedite the revision of the anti-terrorism law, Law No. 15/2003, that was seen inadequate to deal with contemporary challenges. Debate on the new law had been protracted for more than two years since it began after the Sarinah Bombing 2016.
In a matter of days after the deadly attacks in East Java, MPs ratified Law No.5/2018 on terrorism. The new legal framework has empowered security apparatus to take preventive measures against terrorist suspects, including individuals who have fought alongside terrorist organisations overseas.
South Jakarta District Court also issued a ruling court to ban JAD which allows POLRI to arrest individuals who are affiliated with JAD. This measure led to a series of arrests. POLRI claimed that they arrested 81 terrorist suspects from January to May 2019.
The new law also provides a strong legal basis for National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) to coordinate 36 governmental institutions in eradicating terrorism. In 2010, BNPT was first established under a Presidential Regulation (Perpres) which counterterrorism practitioners saw as weak. According to the Indonesian legal system, the hierarchy of Perpres is lower than Law (Undang-Undang).
As a result, ministerial institutions often disregarded instructions from BNPT. Under the new law, the role of BNPT is stipulated in article 43E-H which, hopefully, will give leverage for BNPT to lead counterterrorism efforts in the country.
Improving Interagency Collaboration
Under Jokowi’s administration, BNPT seeks to improve interagency collaboration. Some notable examples would be the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) and Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). The involvement of Kemensos has shed light on developing the soft approach in counterterrorism.
Kemensos has been in charge of providing rehabilitation programmes for deported terrorist suspects and the surviving children of East Java bombers. In 2017, Kemensos’ social shelters received an influx of deported terrorist suspects from Turkey who sought to emigrate to Syria. Although the social workers in the shelters were completely inexperienced in dealing with radicalised individuals, they are trained to handle juvenile delinquents which eventually builds their patience.
Such relentless patience proves to be significant in establishing trust with the deportees. Subsequently, the government sent the children of East Java Bombings perpetrators to the social shelters to undergo a rehabilitation programme with the assistance of social workers.
Along the same vein, Kemendagri has showed its commitment to assist former terrorists in returning to society. BNPT also shares the data of former terrorist inmates, deportees, and returnees to Kemendagri, hoping that it will provide valuable information for regional governments to monitor their activities. BNPT does not have any local representatives, hence the role of regional governments is significant to ensure the sustainability of reintegration programmes.
What Next? Addressing the Loopholes
Nonetheless, Jokowi’s counterterrorism policy is not immune from scrutiny. Firstly, his administration has yet to address the acute problem of prison management. Following the ratification of the law, Indonesia has arrested hundreds of terrorist suspects yet the country does not have adequate prison facilities.
Second, Jokowi has revived the military’s special force named Special Operation Command (Koopsus) in late July 2019 without providing specific Rules of Engagement (RoE). Jokowi’s administration initially promised to issue a Perpres to regulate TNI’s engagement in counterterrorism, but it has been a year since the new law was passed and the Perpres has yet to be finalised.
Lastly, the overlapping responsibilities between governmental and non-governmental institutions often undermine the effectiveness of rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for former terrorists. This problem will not only waste a significant amount of budget, but also risk national security.
In his second term, Jokowi must plug the prevailing loopholes to augment the impact of his legacy. Moreover, the policy should not only focus on the prosecution, but also prevention. Jokowi and elected vice president Ma’ruf Amin vow to revamp education system to prevent radicalisation among youth. This measure should incorporate local values, considering the fact that Indonesia is a culturally-diverse country.
There is no one-size that fits- all. A national-based policy may not necessarily resonate with local society. The central government should engage the regional governments and local-based organisations for a truly collaborative approach.

How the French Government’s “French Tech” label affects French startups
By Liam Boogar Published on 17 December 2013 at 14 h 51 min
Last month, Fleur Pellerin announced a government initiative to create a “French Tech” label in order to help French startups get more international recognition. The applause and criticisms came out from people for & against the initiative, and I’ve been sitting, digesting the announcement, trying to figure out what exactly irked me about this announcement – something in my gut told me there was a problem, and it turns out, there are a bunch of problems with the “French Tech” label.
1) I’m pretty sure I invented the “French Tech” label
If you’ve been keeping score at home, you’ll know that “French Tech” was not the first name that Pellerin announced for such an initiative. Last year she announced “Paris Capitale Startup” & “Paris Capitale Numérique,” which I quickly shot down as a “big mistake” – In fact, if you Google “Paris Capital Startup,” my article still comes up as the first result, so it isn’t surprising that the name wouldn’t do.
Between that article and the November announcement, I wrote one of my more supportive articles “10 reasons to be proud to work in French Tech,” accompanied by #FrenchTechPride. We’ve since used the hashtag intermittently on Facebook & Twitter, and I wouldn’t say it’s become a defacto French startup scene hashtag, but it raised large enough awareness for, say, the cabinet of a Junior Minister to take notice.
Startupers sometimes ask us at conferences whether there are startups in Paris. We responds "Only the best ones in Europe." #Frenchtechpride
— Rude Baguette (@RudeBaguette) October 2, 2013
Of course, the label is generic, and could’ve been thought up by anyone; however, the fact that it changed every time one of our articles about it reached peak Google positioning and that our positive title subsequently got chosen leads me to think that I may be doing more of the Minister’s work than I originally thought
2) The Government is the problem with French startups’ image
The “French Tech” label is very directly inspired by UKTI and the “Tech City” label (also inadvertently invented by a blogger); however, the UK has a very different relationship to its private sector than France does. Take, for example, LeWeb, which saw three French expatriated entrepreneurs debating with a Minister over how the government is hurting France’s international image.
When’s the last time you saw Cameron, or even Boris debating with entrepreneurs about how the UK is seen abroad?
The problem isn’t the startups – Dailymotion does a fine job when the government isn’t involved, and Deezer is kicking ass by distancing itself from the public sector as much as possible – the problem is the government policy. And no label is going to change that. Smoke. And. Mirrors
3) French startups don’t need a label.
The big success of the French government is convincing French people that, whenever there is opportunity in the private sector, there is a way for the government to improve said opportunities with ‘free’ initiatives. The truth is that French engineers don’t need a reputation boost – they may need to learn a bit more about storytelling, but the French government is hardly the one to manage that process.
I’ve been trying since I arrived in Europe to adapt David Cohen’s “just stay out of our way” attitude towards government to a more “European” relationship with the government, but I have yet to hear one solution that didn’t make me think “Complete waste of time.”
4) They are just running out the clock…
I think my real problem with Fleur Pellerin up until this point has been that the startup scene had such high hopes for her, because she spoke of action; however, she continues to speak of action, against protectionism, for startups, for women in tech, for internationalization, for… it turns out, if you keep on promising, you never have time to deliver.
As someone who occasionally makes appearances at events & conferences, I know that there is an indirect relationship between how much work you get done and how much time you spend being a public figure. Pellerin is 100% public, which means she’s 0% work.
French Tech feels to me like another “you’ll see, you’ll see” initiative that is meant to run out the clock until the next election, or distract from the real problem. The government has work to do, and it’s spending more time talking about the solutions than implementing them.
This will not stop French startups from succeeding
The more important message is that, regardless of what the government says about its relationship to innovation, or the initiatives it proposes in order to tie itself to the digital economy, none of this will stop French engineers from innovating – there is a persistence to the French culture that is undertold, undersold, and underappreciated as a result.
People often look to the Silicon Valley for tips on improving the culture of a startup ecosystem – I think the only solid point to take away is that no Californian startup is based in California (Delaware company, you say?) and no successful founder has ever said “Thank god for that government initiative and grant money; we wouldn’t have succeeded otherwise.”
France will continue to see examples of startups succeeding despite the government – it doesn’t necessarily have to be otherwise, and there are few great examples of successful government-startup relations (Ireland, maybe the UK).
Fleur, if you want our #FrenchTechPride label, you can have it – all we need are great French founders: and for that, we’ve got plenty. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11620 | {"url":

Our fire safety training course is designed to give employees the basic knowledge of the risks associated with regard to fires in the workplace. This includes details about what causes a fire and what appropriate safety precautions and fire evacuation procedures you should take.
A knowledge of fire safety is very important, as a failure to comply with government legislation could potentially lead to fines or legal claims. Fire safety training is therefore compulsory for all organisations. It’s important so make sure you do it guys!
Under government legislation, all employees are required to take adequate fire safety training, regardless of which industry they work in. Our fire safety course provides suitable training for all levels of employees.
Employers are required to ensure that all new employees undergo fire safety training when they first start work and that existing employees have their training refreshed if any new fire risks are identified by a risk assessment.
Please note that although this course meets government legislation, you need to be aware that people in charge of fire risk assessments and fire evacuation procedures require fire warden training, as well as practical training in using fire fighting equipment.

Nanostructures Of The Infective Apparatus Of Salmonella
By Salmonella Lawyer on June 5, 2006
Salmonella cause typhoid fever and food poisoning. One of the key structural features of the infection process for this bacterium is the "type III secretion system". This enables it to secrete bacterial proteins into the host cell. The central component of this apparatus has a structure akin to that of a hollow needle, whose length is crucial for the success of the infection process.
Dr. Thomas C. Marlovits, scientific head of the new "Vienna Spot of Excellence", together with Yale University professor Jorge E. Galan and other colleagues from the USA, has now explained how the exact length of the needle is determined during the assembly of this biological nano-machine.
Says Dr. Marlovits: "A fine example of molecular multi-tasking, the TTSS is not only responsible for transporting bacterial proteins into the host cell, but also for its own assembly from some 200 individual structural proteins. The length of the needle structure is controlled by a sophisticated mechanism. The core of this mechanism is the change in the specificity of the TTSS for different proteins. Although the TTSS still has a high specificity for its own structural proteins during the initial phase of the assembly process, this specificity changes later to handle the proteins that are important for the actual infection process. A change in the structure of the TTSS is crucial for this transformation." | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11625 | {"url": "https://www.salmonellablog.com/salmonella-watch/nanostructures-of-the-infective-apparatus-of-salmonella/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.salmonellablog.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:07:14Z", "digest": "sha1:VFMAIYQLUE4FYGIXUBRRV7MABQFRUIJF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1567, 1567.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1567, 6852.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1567, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1567, 106.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1567, 0.89]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1567, 244.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1567, 0.38571429]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1567, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1567, 0.12607004]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1567, 0.12607004]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1567, 0.07626459]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1567, 0.04280156]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1567, 0.02957198]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1567, 0.04357977]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1567, 0.03571429]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1567, 0.11785714]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1567, 0.5]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1567, 5.18145161]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1567, 4.31419159]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1567, 248.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 138, 0.0], [138, 175, 0.0], [175, 562, 1.0], [562, 853, 1.0], [853, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 138, 0.0], [138, 175, 0.0], [175, 562, 0.0], [562, 853, 0.0], [853, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 82, 10.0], [82, 138, 7.0], [138, 175, 7.0], [175, 562, 64.0], [562, 853, 46.0], [853, 1567, 114.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 138, 0.0], [138, 175, 0.14285714], [175, 562, 0.0], [562, 853, 0.0], [853, 1567, 0.0042796]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 82, 0.0], [82, 138, 0.0], [138, 175, 0.0], [175, 562, 0.0], [562, 853, 0.0], [853, 1567, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 82, 0.12195122], [82, 138, 0.125], [138, 175, 0.10810811], [175, 562, 0.01808786], [562, 853, 0.05154639], [853, 1567, 0.03361345]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1567, 0.06443876]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1567, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1567, 0.3273477]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1567, -30.07378142]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1567, 21.08791519]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1567, 25.12705656]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1567, 14.0]]} |

Less than 15 (or 20) Employees Can = Freedom to Discriminate
By Thomas J. Crane on May 26, 2011

Take a Look at This Huge Yacht-Inspired Home Going Up Near Lido Beach
If you've been out to Lido recently, there's no way you haven't seen this project.
By Cooper Levey-Baker September 11, 2020

The company building the home, Trinity Construction & Design, recently celebrated the completion of the home's concrete shell.
The home will be three stories tall, with a roof deck on top.
From the roof, you can see all the way to Big Pass.
Construction began on July 1, 2019, and is expected to take two and a half years in total.
The structure of the building was made with more than 100 tons of steel and more than 1,500 yards of concrete.
With no other structures on the home's northern, western or southern sides, the property offers unrestricted views in nearly every direction.

If you've been out to Lido Beach in recent months, there's no way you missed it: the massive new home currently under construction at 1 John Ringling Blvd., right near the island's northern stretch of public beach.
Construction on the project began on July 1, 2019. The company building the 10,000-square-foot home, Trinity Construction & Design, recently celebrated a milestone—the topping out of the project—and invited Sarasota Magazine to tour the property.
Doug Libertore, who owns a residence adjacent to the home, purchased the property for $2.3 million in 2011. The house was designed by Mark Sultana of DSDG Architects after an original design and concept was completed by Jan Stanbury of J. Stanbury Design Inc. in 2017. The look is intended to echo the style and shape of a luxurious yacht, with a curved "bow" protruding out toward the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. There are no other structures on the home's northern, western or southern sides, which gives the property unrestricted views of the sand and the water. And the home is tall enough that, when you're standing on the roof deck, you can see all the way to downtown Sarasota.
The home's pool will be located on the third floor, at the point where the concrete juts out the farthest. Behind it will be a patio space below roof openings covered by retractable awnings, and then the master suite and kitchen area. Sliding glass doors will provide exceptional views no matter where you stand. The second floor will contain more bedrooms, and the roof will boast a glass-enclosed room from which you can see all the way to Big Pass.
With the main structure of the building now complete, Trinity will turn to framing the interior. Utilities and finishes will then follow. Thomson estimates that the total construction process should take roughly two and a half years. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the project has remained on schedule. Trinity declined to provide a total budget for the project; permits filed with the City of Sarasota estimate construction costs at just over $4 million.
Building the home has taken an incredible amount of planning and resources, says Nehamiah Thomson, Trinty's vice president of field operations. The company is required to protect nearby dunes and trees, and must be careful not to disturb sea turtle nests. To steady the home, the company has driven 149 piles 35 feet deep into the ground, and has used more than 100 tons of steel and more than 1,500 yards of concrete. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime project," Thomson says.

expert reaction to the Provisional Statement on the State of the Climate in 2019
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a statement on the State of the Climate in 2019, reporting that 2019 concludes a decade of exceptional global heat and
high-impact weather.
Prof Meric Srokosz, Marine Physics and Ocean Climate Scientist, National Oceanography Centre (NOC), said:
“The data continue to show the growing impact of rising anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere. The oceans are absorbing much of the excess heat, and some of the CO2, with negative consequences, including rising sea level and coral bleaching. Overall, the future looks increasingly bleak.”
Dr Friederike Otto, Deputy Director, Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, said:
“There are strong messages in the statements. Some very expected, but others are a new type of message. Cyclone Idai is an important example of what climate change can look and feel like without any abstract numbers.
“We do not know (yet!) whether and how much climate change contributed to the hurricane itself, but what we do know is that in today’s climate, when a cyclone like this occurs the rainfall associated with such a hurricane is more intense because of climate change, as is the inundation because of sea level rise. In other words, without climate change fewer people would have died. But it is very important to highlight, that disasters, conflict, migration and other potential impacts of climate change are not straightforward at all, and the hazard plays, if any, only a small role.
“But in no way is that a reason not to act: on the contrary, it highlights that we are not even adapted to 1.1 degree of warming. And there is no doubt that this 1.1 degree is due the burning of fossil fuels.”
Prof Richard Allan, Professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading, said:
“Weather patterns determine where and when extremes of rainfall and heat occur, yet the continued increases in greenhouse gas concentrations are making these extremes and their impacts on agriculture, health and ecosystems more severe.”
“Most regions of our planet are showing clear signs that the climate is heating up and combined with our understanding of the physics of the atmosphere and oceans we know that it’s our fault and the only way to stop this is to reduce and begin removing emissions of greenhouse gases. The discussions at the Madrid COP25 this week and the following COP26 in Glasgow next November are therefore absolutely crucial.”
Prof Euan Nisbet, Professor of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, said:
“A very worrying developments is the fast rise in methane since 2007 and especially the accelerated growth since 2014. Methane was stable from 2000-2006 but started growing strongly in 2007. In 2014, this new growth intensified with very high rates since. The reasons are unclear but the focus is in the low latitudes. The carbon source seems to be mainly biological – warming tropical wetlands, and tropical cattle. Tropical countries can do a lot to help, for example by simple measures such as covering huge new urban landfills with soil, and especially by stopping fires.”
Prof Chris Rapley, Professor of Climate Science at University College London, said:
“In her book The March of Folly, the American historian Barbara Tuchman defines Policy Folly according to three criteria: it must have been perceived as counter-productive in its own time; feasible alternative courses of action must have been available; the policy in question should be that of a group, not an individual leader, and should persist beyond any one political lifetime.
“By these criteria, the lack of adequate action to address climate change by the world political class over decades is a Folly. It follows a long tradition of mind-numbing stupidity and cupidity by groups in power, well documented in Tuchman’s book. “Given the unfolding climatic consequences, as summarised in the sequence of WMO State of the Climate reports, it is a Folly of epic proportions.
“Given the potential of our current course to trigger climatic Tipping Points, beyond which we will lose control of our disruption of the climate system – it may prove to be the Ultimate Folly. Will collective decisions at COP25 in Madrid change the course of history? Tuchman’s book suggests not. Only extraordinary measures can now avert dark consequences. A glimmer of light? – An uprising by global youth. They have a voice, and it is growing louder. Those who know the score should actively assist.”
Prof Keith Shine FRS, Regius Professor of Meteorology and Climate Science at the University of Reading, said:
“We are coming to the end of another decade. Each of the past 4 decades has, when averaged over the whole planet, been 0.1 to 0.2 degrees C warmer than the decade before; carbon dioxide levels have continued their relentless rise; and methane levels have grown much more rapidly than in the previous decade. Unless things start to change markedly over the coming decade, it is going to get harder and harder to meet the goals of the UN’s Paris Agreement on climate change”.
Dr. Joanna House, Reader in Environmental Science and Policy, Cabot Institute of the Environment, University of Bristol, said:
“It’s shocking how much climate change in 2019 has already lead to lives lost, poor health, food insecurity and displaced populations. Even as a climate scientist who knows the evidence and the projections, I find this deeply upsetting. What is more shocking is how long very little has been done about this. We have the information, the solutions, what we need now is urgent action.
Dr Joeri Rogelj, Grantham Lecture in Climate Change, Imperial College London
“Unfortunately, the messages of the WMO State of the Climate report never come as a surprise. Our economic activities continue to use the atmosphere as a waste dump for greenhouse gases. The increasing temperatures, the warming oceans, ocean acidification and other indicators are the logical consequence of this inaction and this should worry us deeply.
“We understand that many of these changes will persist for centuries, continuing to impact people and ecosystems around the globe. Even to simply halt warming, global CO2 emissions have to be brought back to zero. Our current trends show unequivocally that we’re not doing a good job at all at responding this critical challenge of our times.”
Prof Grant Allen, Professor of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Manchester, said:
“This excellent report on the combined output of global research and evidence concerning the state of Earth’s climate lays bare that climate change is a real and present danger. The evidence is clear – each of the past 3 decades has been warmer than the last, and the past 5 years have been the hottest 5 years on record. The global mean temperature is now more than 1 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
“This does not simply mean slightly warmer summers, it means an increased frequency of extreme weather globally – droughts, heat waves, flooding, and changing patterns in the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones. These impacts are real and happening now and place huge pressures on communities and countries, potentially leading to climate-induced migration, conflict and geopolitical risk. Put simply, these impacts make for a more unstable world and are already having profound impacts on our ecosystem services and biodiversity.
“Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. Without a global effort to reach carbon neutrality by the middle of this century (led by the world’s highest emitters especially), projections in this report suggest that we may reach 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels well before the end of the current century. The impacts of such a rise would dwarf those we have already seen. It is already well over time to rapidly restructure our economies away from greenhouse gas emitting industries and practices, and adapt and mitigate for current and future change already locked into the climate system.”
Prof Dave Reay, Chair in Carbon Management at the University of Edinburgh, said:
“For this latest ‘State of the Climate’ read ‘State of Emergency’. The report lays bare the huge human cost already being paid for rising greenhouse gas concentrations: record heat exposure and increasing global hunger, extreme weather events and mass human displacement. For far too long this roar of tumbling climate records has fallen on deaf policy ears. The stark truth is that the climate change impacts of 2019 are only early skirmishes in a global onslaught that threatens civilisation itself.
“Now a new roar – that of many millions demanding urgent action on climate change – is echoing through parliaments, boardrooms and international negotiations. The world is waking up. This coming year won’t just decide what’s in the ‘State of the Climate’ report for 2020, it will shape the future of climate change for generations to come.”
Prof Mark Maslin, Professor of Climatology, University College London (UCL), said:
“The WMO State of Climate report is a sobering compilation of the world’s changing climate. Carbon dioxide up, methane up, nitrous oxides up, temperatures up, ocean heat content up, sea level up, ocean pH down, ocean oxygen content down, Arctic sea ice cover down, heatwaves, storms, floods, droughts all up. These changes are already affecting people’s health from extreme weather events, air pollution, spread of tropical diseases and food insecurity.
“At a time when there is a universal call to reduce global carbon emissions, we have another authoritative report showing that nothing has changed and that the rate of increase in greenhouse gases this decade is larger than in the previous decade. Despite all the speeches and the political promises nothing has been done to change the global obsession with fossil fuels. We need significant changes to occur in 2020 and the COP26 in Madrid needs to deliver major changes in national policies; otherwise next year the WMO report will be even worse and we will have even less time to save the planet and ourselves from the climate change we are causing.”

It’s Time To Rethink the Origins of Pain
Chronic pain is biochemical, but it’s also psychological, and treatment needs to address how we think and feel about it

Every person who has ever felt pain has their origin story, and I certainly have mine.
While performing a bench press more than a decade ago when I was in medical school, I heard a loud click and felt my whole body go limp, and the weights came crashing down. As pain gripped my entire body in a vise, I was rushed to emergency room where I got intravenous painkillers and was told the pain would eventually disappear.
But it didn’t. And what I’ve learned about pain since has me seriously questioning how we diagnose and treat it.
I’m a doctor now, and in researching a book on pain, I’ve begun to understand that the reason the acute pain from my back injury turned into unrelenting chronic pain was likely in my brain. What determines the transformation of transient aches into ceaseless agony is not only explained by anatomy but often by psychology. Our perception of pain—and our fear of it—can play a huge role in clinical outcomes. However, far from minimizing people’s experiences, this understanding is opening the door to treatments that might finally (and durably) help the millions living in unending torment.
I’m now a doctor, and our traditional approach in medicine has been to find mechanical and anatomic explanations for chronic pain; I was told from the MRI of my back that I had abnormalities so profound for a young person (I was just 20 years old), I had become the dreaded “interesting case” discussed at the radiology department’s weekly conference. My bones were degenerating, and I had multiple damaged discs in my spine. Without any visible scars or deformities that were outwardly apparent, the MRI scans were the only evidence for what turned my acute injury into never-ending torment.
Chronic pain is usually defined as pain that affects someone frequently for three months or more, and mine exceeded that defined period by many years. I was reluctant to take painkillers and focused all of my energies on physical therapy. My pain has improved over time, but my origin story—the injury and the resulting abnormalities that showed up on the MRI—has had little to do with the pain I felt years afterward. “The classic idea is that if the injury is bad enough, it will stay on,” Vania Apkarian, one of the world’s leading pain researchers, told me. “But the injury itself has no value.”
MRIs, while reliable indicators of injury, are not reliable indicators of pain. A review of studies that involved scanning images from about 3,000 people with no symptoms of back pain found that in 20-year-olds without any back pain, 37 percent had disc degeneration, and 30 percent had disc bulges. These abnormalities should cause pain, but for these people, they didn’t. These abnormalities that show up in medical scans only increase with age, as 96 percent of 80-year-olds had disk degeneration and 84 percent had bulges. Even in people whose backs hurt, MRI abnormalities have shown absolutely no correlation with their pain—in other words, an MRI doesn’t help us figure out what hurts and what doesn’t. These data upended my narrative.
This is a really big deal: millions of people in the U.S., alone get MRIs and CT scans for back pain, which is the most common cause of disability around the world. Most of these tests are inappropriate since guidelines now recommend against the routine use of imaging for people with back pain. Yet a recent study showed that only 5 percent of MRIs ordered by clinicians for back pain were appropriate, and of those who received MRIs, 65 percent received potentially harmful advice emanating from the scans—including calls for back surgery.
Spine surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States and around the world, but it can have devastating effects: in one study of people who had chronic back pain, of the people who had spine fusion surgery, only 26 percent returned to work compared with 67 percent of people who didn’t have surgery. The people who chose surgery were more likely to develop complications and permanent disability than the people who didn’t. I could have been one of those people: when I took my MRI films to Ather Enam, a renowned surgeon, he told me that an operation might leave my back worse off. “I could do the surgery, but a spine that’s been touched by a surgeon is never the same again,” he said.
So if anatomy doesn’t explain why pain turns chronic, what does? Turns out that at least part of the cause was in my head.
One of the major reasons why pain becomes immortal in our bodies is how we feel in our minds. People who fear being in pain or are anxious about it are up to twice as likely to develop chronic pain after undergoing an operation. A study from Finland published this April showed that the presence of psychological distress significantly affected the presence or absence of back pain in those with degenerated spines. In fact, one small study showed that past traumatic events such as being robbed, bullied or sexually assaulted, were the strongest predictors of back pain turning chronic in the study’s 84 participants; even the early fear of pain becoming permanent becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Although in clinical medicine and societal discourse, mind and body, sensation and emotion, biology and psychology, are often considered as distinct, human nature begs to differ. In fact, these dichotomies collapse most dramatically when it comes to pain. As acute pain turns chronic, Apkarian’s research shows it activates parts of the brain more responsible for emotions than physical sensations.
A recent clinical trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Psychiatry indicates the power of therapies that target how we feel about hurting. In the study, led by Yoni Ashar and Tor Wager, the scientist who discovered the neurologic signature of pain in the brain, patients with chronic low back either received usual care mostly involving pain medications and physical therapy, were told they were getting a placebo (which can be quite effective for back pain) or received pain reprocessing therapy, which teaches people that the brain actively constructs chronic pain in the absence of an active injury and that simply reframing the threat pain represents can reduce or eliminate it. Such therapy defangs chronic pain of its sharpest weapon—fear. The results were quite remarkable: Of those people who received pain processing therapy twice-weekly for a month, 52 percent were pain-free at one year, compared with 27 percent of those receiving placebo and 16 percent receiving usual care. Patients also experienced improvements in disability, anger, sleep and depression.
Embracing the complexity of pain, especially chronic pain, can open the door to new and innovative ways to ensure that even if we hurt, we don’t suffer. Therapies like pain reprocessing therapy embrace pain for what the science reveals it to be—as much an emotional and traumatic construct as a physical sensation. Such a holistic embrace of pain’s nature, far from making us not take it seriously, should spur efforts even further to make sure everyone in agony receives kindness and respect, as well as access to more than pills and surgical procedures on their path to healing.
