House passes bill to overhaul NSA data collection
WASHINGTON — The U.S. House sent a bipartisan message Thursday, voting to end the practice of bulk collection of phone records conducted by the National Security Agency. The surveillance of such "metadata" was revealed last year by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, prompting public disapproval and congressional anger from lawmakers who said the intelligence agency was not forthcoming with Congress about the scope of their surveillance efforts.
The USA FREEDOM Act, sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., passed 303-121 with 179 Republicans and 124 Democrats in support. Of the 121 lawmakers opposed, 51 were Republicans and 70 were Democrats. Sensenbrenner played an instrumental role in shaping the federal government's post-9/11 national security infrastructure.
The legislation instructs telephone companies to continue to hold records for 18 months but would require a judicial order for the NSA to get access to phone records believed to be tied to terrorist plots. The legislation mirrors a proposal outlined by President Obama in January. The bill now heads to the Senate, where Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has introduced companion legislation.
Civil liberties advocates said the original bill was significantly weakened, citing a dropped provision that would have created a position for an independent public advocate on the secretive court that oversees the NSA. The House-passed bill also excluded original provisions that would have required annual public reports from the federal government on the number of individuals who had been targeted by domestic surveillance, and biannual reports on the number of court orders requested.
"We cannot expect this bill to protect privacy and civil liberties while the public and Congress continue to be in the dark about the policies in practice. Without transparency, there will be no way of knowing if the bulk collection of data has ended," said Danielle Brian with the Project on Government Oversight.
Leahy voiced similar concerns about the dropped provisions in a statement. He said he will work to put the protections back in when his committee takes up the bill this summer. The legislation is likely the only congressional action in response to the Snowden leaks.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, was a co-sponsor of the original bill but voted against it Thursday. "This is not a choice between civil liberties and national security. We still have yet to hear of a single example of how national security has been strengthened by allowing bulk data collection," she said. Gabbard, a military veteran, said the weakened legislation still allows the government to obtain innocent Americans' phone data and conduct broad collection sweeps.
"Instead of targeting specific individuals, the bill would allow the government to collect data with very broad search terms like an entire area code, an e-mail with a keyword or a whole state or region of the country," she said. "That kind of data collection is not 'specific' at all; it is the opposite of specific, leaving the door open for continued overreach and abuse."
House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., lauded the bill as a balance between combating terrorism and protecting civil liberties. The legislation includes prohibitions against bulk e-mail collection, as well as the collection of firearms purchases and financial records. "The terrorist threat is real and ongoing and we must always be aware of the threats we face," he said.
However, a group of influential tech companies including Google, Facebook and Twitter withdrew their original support from the bill on Wednesday, citing weakened language that they said creates a loophole for the surveillance of personal Internet data. "While it makes important progress, we cannot support this bill as currently drafted and urge Congress to close this loophole to ensure meaningful reform," they said in a joint statement from the Reform Government Surveillance coalition. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11734 | {"url": "https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/05/22/house-passes-nsa-reform/9439363/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.usatoday.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T11:21:34Z", "digest": "sha1:A3SFUJUCQONTO6WM5TSLHDB2V4VLWLFY"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4021, 4021.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4021, 28616.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4021, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4021, 39.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4021, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4021, 285.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4021, 0.36791148]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4021, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4021, 0.01059643]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4021, 0.00968816]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4021, 0.00787163]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4021, 0.01798064]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4021, 0.13278008]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4021, 0.5024]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4021, 5.2848]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4021, 5.22202964]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4021, 625.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 502, 1.0], [502, 831, 1.0], [831, 1231, 1.0], [1231, 1721, 1.0], [1721, 2036, 1.0], [2036, 2303, 1.0], [2303, 2774, 1.0], [2774, 3150, 0.0], [3150, 3531, 1.0], [3531, 4021, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 502, 0.0], [502, 831, 0.0], [831, 1231, 0.0], [1231, 1721, 0.0], [1721, 2036, 0.0], [2036, 2303, 0.0], [2303, 2774, 0.0], [2774, 3150, 0.0], [3150, 3531, 0.0], [3531, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 50, 8.0], [50, 502, 67.0], [502, 831, 46.0], [831, 1231, 63.0], [1231, 1721, 73.0], [1721, 2036, 53.0], [2036, 2303, 45.0], [2303, 2774, 74.0], [2774, 3150, 65.0], [3150, 3531, 58.0], [3531, 4021, 73.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 502, 0.0], [502, 831, 0.07006369], [831, 1231, 0.00511509], [1231, 1721, 0.0], [1721, 2036, 0.0], [2036, 2303, 0.0], [2303, 2774, 0.0], [2774, 3150, 0.0], [3150, 3531, 0.0], [3531, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 502, 0.0], [502, 831, 0.0], [831, 1231, 0.0], [1231, 1721, 0.0], [1721, 2036, 0.0], [2036, 2303, 0.0], [2303, 2774, 0.0], [2774, 3150, 0.0], [3150, 3531, 0.0], [3531, 4021, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 50, 0.08], [50, 502, 0.05530973], [502, 831, 0.06990881], [831, 1231, 0.04], [1231, 1721, 0.0122449], [1721, 2036, 0.02539683], [2036, 2303, 0.01498127], [2303, 2774, 0.02123142], [2774, 3150, 0.00531915], [3150, 3531, 0.02362205], [3531, 4021, 0.02244898]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4021, 0.97963864]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4021, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4021, 0.96180826]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4021, -25.1240577]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4021, 132.53584858]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4021, 40.31074745]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4021, 33.0]]} |
J.P. Rosenbaum Speaks Out About ‘Unknown’ Future After Filing for Divorce From Ashley Hebert: ‘We Are All Human’
By Yana Grebenyuk
Positive reflection. J.P. Rosenbaum took to social media to share his thoughts on dealing with the unknown after filing for divorce from Ashley Hebert.
Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum’s Relationship Timeline
“It’s 100% Perfectly ok to NOT have all the answers, to NOT know what the future holds, to be afraid, to have anxiety, to feel uneasy about anything and everything,” Rosenbaum, 44, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Thursday, August 5.

The Bachelorette alum offered some advice to his followers, noting, “we are all human, we have all gone through it, or will at some point, and it is 100% normal to feel the way you do.”
The former reality star concluded his post with some positive affirmations about the future.
“People are resilient and you’re so much stronger than you even know! All these moments in life will help you grow on so many levels,” he added. “Keep moving forward, keep pushing, and keep expanding your comfort zone. Embrace the unknown, live your life, and I guarantee you will come out the other side just fine!”
Celebrities Who Love ‘The Bachelor’
The inspiring post comes one day after Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Rosenbaum submitted the paperwork to end his marriage to Hebert, 36. The July 28 filing was made official nine months after the Bachelorette season 7 couple announced their split.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that, after months of separation, Jp and I have amicably decided to go our separate ways,” Hebert wrote in October 2020 via Instagram. “We created the most beautiful children and shared memories that will never be forgotten. Our differences have taken a toll on our relationship and after years of attempting to repair the damage, we’ve decided that it is in our family’s best interest to create new and separate lives for our children. Please respect our privacy as we move forward with the newness of our lives. Our ultimate focus is to create stable and healthy lives for our children. Thank you for your love and support throughout the years. Wishing you all love, happiness, and good health.”
Every Bachelor Nation Divorce
The duo, who share son, Fordham, 6, and daughter Essex, 4, fell in love on the ABC series in 2011 and tied the knot the following year. Rosenbaum expressed a “level of disbelief and extreme sadness” in his own statement about the split, and he confirmed that they separated months prior.
“Please please please know that there is no one to blame, that there’s no event that triggered this decision, that no one is the victim, and that we’ve done absolutely everything we possibly can to try to salvage this marriage,” he explained at the time. “I think we’ve both come to realize that we are just two very different people, with very different personalities and perspectives, who just don’t see eye to eye on a lot life fundamentals, those which are the building blocks for a happy and healthy marriage.”
Since their decision to part ways, the exes have continued to maintain a bond as they focus on coparenting their kids.
“Too cool for school, too cool for school!” the pediatric dentist teased her estranged husband in an Instagram Story video in March. Hebert added the caption, “Best friends forever,” alongside two crying from laughter emojis. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11735 | {"url": "https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/j-p-rosenbaum-reflects-on-the-future-after-split-from-ashley-hebert/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.usmagazine.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:31:51Z", "digest": "sha1:HDX5FQGD5KAS4VURT7N6UWWB2TJFBLKD"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3449, 3449.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3449, 7174.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3449, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3449, 159.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3449, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3449, 321.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3449, 0.40452617]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3449, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3449, 0.02659001]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3449, 0.02659001]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3449, 0.02659001]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3449, 0.01724757]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3449, 0.01006109]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3449, 0.01509163]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3449, 0.02121641]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3449, 0.17256011]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3449, 0.54109589]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3449, 4.76541096]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3449, 5.3248903]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3449, 584.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 113, 0.0], [113, 131, 0.0], [131, 283, 1.0], [283, 340, 0.0], [340, 576, 1.0], [576, 637, 0.0], [637, 823, 1.0], [823, 916, 1.0], [916, 1233, 1.0], [1233, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1525, 1.0], [1525, 2271, 1.0], [2271, 2301, 0.0], [2301, 2589, 1.0], [2589, 3105, 1.0], [3105, 3224, 1.0], [3224, 3449, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 113, 0.0], [113, 131, 0.0], [131, 283, 0.0], [283, 340, 0.0], [340, 576, 0.0], [576, 637, 0.0], [637, 823, 0.0], [823, 916, 0.0], [916, 1233, 0.0], [1233, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1525, 0.0], [1525, 2271, 0.0], [2271, 2301, 0.0], [2301, 2589, 0.0], [2589, 3105, 0.0], [3105, 3224, 0.0], [3224, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 113, 18.0], [113, 131, 3.0], [131, 283, 24.0], [283, 340, 7.0], [340, 576, 41.0], [576, 637, 8.0], [637, 823, 36.0], [823, 916, 14.0], [916, 1233, 56.0], [1233, 1269, 5.0], [1269, 1525, 41.0], [1525, 2271, 130.0], [2271, 2301, 4.0], [2301, 2589, 51.0], [2589, 3105, 90.0], [3105, 3224, 21.0], [3224, 3449, 35.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 113, 0.0], [113, 131, 0.0], [131, 283, 0.0], [283, 340, 0.0], [340, 576, 0.02666667], [576, 637, 0.01818182], [637, 823, 0.01685393], [823, 916, 0.0], [916, 1233, 0.0], [1233, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1525, 0.01984127], [1525, 2271, 0.00546448], [2271, 2301, 0.0], [2301, 2589, 0.02158273], [2589, 3105, 0.0], [3105, 3224, 0.0], [3224, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 113, 0.0], [113, 131, 0.0], [131, 283, 0.0], [283, 340, 0.0], [340, 576, 0.0], [576, 637, 0.0], [637, 823, 0.0], [823, 916, 0.0], [916, 1233, 0.0], [1233, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1525, 0.0], [1525, 2271, 0.0], [2271, 2301, 0.0], [2301, 2589, 0.0], [2589, 3105, 0.0], [3105, 3224, 0.0], [3224, 3449, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 113, 0.15929204], [113, 131, 0.16666667], [131, 283, 0.03947368], [283, 340, 0.12280702], [340, 576, 0.05508475], [576, 637, 0.09836066], [637, 823, 0.01075269], [823, 916, 0.01075269], [916, 1233, 0.01577287], [1233, 1269, 0.13888889], [1269, 1525, 0.03125], [1525, 2271, 0.01742627], [2271, 2301, 0.13333333], [2301, 2589, 0.02430556], [2589, 3105, 0.00387597], [3105, 3224, 0.00840336], [3224, 3449, 0.02666667]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3449, 0.38796335]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3449, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3449, 0.71702814]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3449, -145.85817318]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3449, 63.61194366]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3449, -269.8995982]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3449, 35.0]]} |
Next Filing Season Will Be Better: Due Dates Have a New Logical Order
Dec 28, 2016 | FBAR, IRS - Internal Revenue Service, US Tax Return 1040 / 1040NR | 0 comments
As practitioners get ready for the 2017 filing season, there is hope that next year will be better. That is because the 2017 filing season will involve new due dates, a result of years of advocacy by the profession. In one of the most significant pieces of tax legislation enacted in 2015, Congress included the AICPA-supported tax return due dates legislation as a revenue provision in the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015, which extended the Highway Trust Fund for three months in the summer and fall of 2015. On July 31, 2015, President Barack Obama signed that legislation into law, making the new tax return due dates generally effective for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2015 (applicable to 2016 tax returns and the 2017 filing season).
The New Due Dates: Effective for 2017 Filing SeasonAs a result of preliminary feedback from government officials that the individual tax return due date of April 15 and extension until Oct. 15 were “cut in stone,” tax practitioners did not propose that individual tax return due dates change, and they did not change.
Below is a list of the new federal due dates generally applicable for 2016 tax returns (2017 filing season) and beyond.
March 15 (Extensions Until Sept. 15)
Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income; and
Form 1120S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation.
Note: This is the due date for the tax return and also for the Schedules K-1 that the entity must provide to its owners.
April 15 (Extensions Until Oct. 15, Unless Noted Below)
Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return;
Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts (extensions until Sept. 30);
Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return (extensions until Sept. 15 until 2026, see note below); and
FinCEN Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (any late filing penalty for a first-time filer may be waived).
May 15 (Extensions Until Nov. 15)
Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax (series).
July 31 (Extensions Until Oct. 15)
Form 5500 for employee benefit plans.
Other Forms That May Be Affected
Although the legislation does not go into detail about due dates for various other forms, it should be noted that forms that are tied to the due dates of the above forms will need to be revised accordingly. For example, Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, will likely be changed to coincide with the corresponding return’s new due date. Some other forms that are likely to be changed to go along with the corresponding return’s new due date are:
Form 926, Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation;
Form 5472, Information Return of a 25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a U.S. Trade or Business (Under Sections 6038A and 6038C of the Internal Revenue Code);
Form 8804, Annual Return for Partnership Withholding Tax (Section 1446);
Form 8805, Foreign Partner’s Information Statement of Section 1446 Withholding Tax;
Form 8858, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Foreign Disregarded Entities;
Form 8865, Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Partnerships; and
Form 8886, Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement.
State Tax Return Due DatesMany states are likely to follow the above federal due date changes but may need to enact legislation (or issue regulations or guidance from the state departments of revenue) to change their due dates to conform to the new federal dates. As of this writing, due dates conformity legislation had been enacted in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia. California is considering due date legislation.6 During 2016, the state CPA societies likely will be working with their legislatures and departments of revenue on any needed and desired state due date changes before the 2017 filing season implementation of the federal due date changes.
In particular, states should consider making sure the state corporate tax return is not due before the new federal corporate due date of April 15. Otherwise, CPAs may need to prepare state tax returns based on incomplete federal information. Also, states may want to consider aligning the partnership due dates to the new federal due date of March 15.
States that might want to consider changes to the state corporate tax return due date include Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as well as the District of Columbia. Some states, such as Alabama, may require only a regulatory rule or guidance change from the state revenue departments to change their due dates.
The Problem With the Prior-Law Due DatesAs part of the AICPA Tax Division advocacy process, in 2008, members started voicing concerns that taxpayers and preparers were struggling with problems created when flowthrough entities’ Schedules K-1 arrived late, sometimes within days (before or after) of the extended due date of their partners’/owners’ personal returns and up to a month after the extended due date of their partners’/owners’ business returns. Late Schedules K-1 made it difficult, if not impossible, to file a timely, accurate return. The Tax Division found that much of the issue related to late Schedules K-1 were a result of the increasing quantity and complexity of flowthrough entities.
What Does It Mean for Practitioners and Taxpayers?
Workload compression was a major consideration for the member-driven Tax Division in working toward a more logical flow of information between taxed entities. In developing its ultimate proposal, the Tax Division surveyed more than 30,000 AICPA members and worked closely with a task force, several technical resource panels, and many state societies. In the end, it became clear that based on the IRS’s administrative constraints, a perfect solution (for all practitioners and taxpayers) would not be possible; however, taken as a whole, the AICPA thinks that the new law is better than the prior-law due dates.
For the 2017 filing season and beyond, taxpayers and practitioners should start to see that they have timely and accurate information needed from flowthrough entity Schedules K-1. Taxpayers and practitioners should no longer need to deal with so many estimates, extensions, and amended returns. The tax return preparation process should be smoother and more efficient.
Practitioners preparing extended Form 1041 trust and estate income tax returns will welcome the additional two weeks to Sept. 30 (compared with the current Sept. 15 extended deadline) to complete extended Forms 1041. This trust delayed extension date (and the eventual Oct. 15 corporate extension) will also help in spreading the current nightmare of Sept. 15 extensions workload for many practitioners.
Taxpayers with foreign bank accounts will be able to file their FinCEN Report 114 when they have the information needed and are filing their personal income tax return, including being able to extend it until Oct. 15. This is a welcome change from the former June 30 deadline that was unrelated to any other tax deadline and did not allow extensions.
The Continuing Issue of Late and Amended Forms 1099
The AICPA advocated on another due date-related issue. Many brokerage firms have been issuing late and amended Forms 1099, which has become an increasing problem and a frustration for taxpayers and practitioners as they often require filing an amended return. This unfortunate trend has prompted some taxpayers to wait until they receive their anticipated corrected Forms 1099 before taking their tax records to their CPA. The result is that many taxpayers provide tax return data to preparers later than in prior years to avoid having to file amended returns.
This trend forces tax preparers to navigate an increasingly compressed filing season in which they sometimes receive necessary information less than two weeks before the initial filing due date. Late Forms 1099 create anxiety, confusion, and potential complications in the tax preparation process, and, for some taxpayers, they can cause increased tax preparation fees.
Taxpayers often request the practitioner prepare an amended Form 1040 immediately upon receiving a corrected Form 1099 either to make certain they do not owe any late-payment penalties or to obtain their refund as soon as possible. Taxpayers also are often eager to get the current-year tax return filed without extensions, if possible.
Form 1099 Due DatesCurrently, Forms 1099 (e.g., Form 1099-B, Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, and Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions) generally are due to the IRS and Social Security Administration (SSA) on Feb. 28 (March 31 if filed electronically) and are due to taxpayers by Jan. 31 (Feb. 15 for Forms 1099-B, 1099-S, Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions, and 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income (if amounts are reported in box 8 or 14)). Several brokerage firms have been able to get extensions. Brokerage firms can amend and issue corrected Forms 1099 at any time.
De Minimis Threshold Safe Harbor
The AICPA suggested a threshold of at least $50 for de minimis errors,and Congress recently enacted as part of the PATH Act an increased de minimis threshold (errors up to $100 in income and $25 of withholding) for Forms 1099 and other information returns. Under this provision, information returns, with an error of no more than $100 in income, or an error of no more than $25 in withholdings or backup withholding, will be considered as having been filed with the correct information. This threshold will help with preparers’ workload issues by eliminating amendments for small amounts. It also should help prevent identity theft because it allows brokers to provide Forms 1099 more quickly and efficiently so the taxpayer can file a return sooner, before an identity thief files using the taxpayer’s name. Some taxpayers refuse to file their return early simply because they know they will receive a corrected Form 1099 for a few dollars.
Acceleration of Due Dates for Filing Information ReturnsThe AICPA supported—and Congress recently enacted—as part of the PATH Act, an accelerated due date to the SSA and IRS for Form W-2. The provision, which is effective for 2016 tax returns and the 2017 filing season, requires that these information returns be filed with the SSA and IRS by Jan. 31, generally the same date as the due date for employee and payee statements, and are no longer eligible for the extended filing date for electronically filed information returns. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11736 | {"url":

Black History and Black Futures
While celebrating Black history, we also work to create a more equitable future.
Learn About Your Impact Change Lives. Donate Today.
Black History Month is a time to celebrate influential leaders and impactful moments of the past. But celebrating Black history is not enough.
United Way continues to work toward a future where Black Americans have the same access to employment, education, health care and housing as their white neighbors.
As part of that work, below, we highlight important moments from Black history that align with our focus areas of health, education and financial stability, outline a few current challenges faced by Black Americans, and explain what United Way is doing to help solve these problems.
Moment in History
July 9, 1893: Dr. Daniel Hale Williams performs the first successful open-heart surgery at the black-owned, interracial hospital he founded in Chicago. Both Dr. Williams and his patient were Black.
But since Dr. Williams’ groundbreaking work, health outcomes for the Black population are still significantly worse than for whites.
• Nearly 100,000 fewer Black Americans would die each year, if the Black mortality rate was the same as it is for whites.
• A Black individual will live three fewer years on average than a white person with the same income.
• Black Americans are nearly 4 times more likely to be hospitalized and 3 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than whites.
United Way’s Work
United Way believes that an individual’s race, ZIP code, or income should never be a barrier to quality health. We work to address health inequity by:
• Fighting for improved access to health care coverage.
• Creating exercise and recreation opportunities in low-income and segregated neighborhoods.
• Making it easier for people to access substance abuse programs.
• Setting up mobile food pantries.
• Supporting the mental health needs of veterans.
April 23, 1951: 16-year-old Barbara Rose Johns leads a strike to protest segregation and poor conditions at her Virginia high school. Her leadership inspires local lawyers to sue the federal government, a case that eventually becomes part of the landmark Brown v. Board decision.
The Supreme Court ruled school segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. But segregation in public schools has only risen since 1996. This kind of structural racism along with institutional racism has hurt the educational outcomes of Blacks students.
• The graduation rate for Black students (79%) is lower than the national average.
• Schools with 90% or more students of color receive $733 less per student.
• Only 57% of Black students have access to the full range of math and science courses needed for college-readiness.
• More than 70% of Black students were learning remotely in fall 2020, compared to 40% of white students.
United Way fights to shift the odds for students of color and those in low-income areas. Our work includes:
• Recruiting volunteers to read with preschool and elementary students.
• Providing after-school programs and extracurricular activities and clubs.
• Supporting middle and high school students through graduation.
• Connecting students with volunteer mentors and tutors.
May 12, 1968: Thousands of Black women, led by Coretta Scott King, begin the first demonstrations in the Poor People’s Campaign. After building Resurrection City on the National Mall, they stayed in temporary shacks for over a month in a fight for jobs, unemployment insurance and a higher minimum wage.
Decades of segregation, discrimination and low wages have impacted the financial stability of Black families in the U.S. Since 1992, the racial wealth gap has grown.
• The net worth of a typical Black family is $17,150, compared to $171,000 for white families.
• Only 44% of Black families own a home, compared to 72% of white families.
United Way battles chronic unemployment, homelessness and financial illiteracy; issues which disproportionately affect Black Americans. In April 2020, United Way Worldwide created a relief fund for Black Americans harmed by the financial devastation of the pandemic. Our ongoing work includes:
• Providing free tax preparation services for middle- and low-income families.
• Offering financial education and coaching.
• Training adults for careers in thriving industries, like health care.
• Providing job counseling and application assistance to the unemployed.

Verdant Settles EPCRA Enforcement Matter for New Cingular Wireless
January 4, 2013 /in Enforcement, EPCRA, News & Events /by Verdant Law
EPCRA:
Verdant is pleased to announce that it helped its client, New Cingular Wireless, reach a favorable settlement with EPA over a longstanding EPCRA enforecement matter involving legacy facilities owned by a predecessor company. A copy of EPA’s press release is embedded below.
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and New Cingular Wireless (NCW) have reached an administrative settlement requiring the company to pay a civil penalty of $750,000 and spend $625,000 on environmental projects to resolve alleged reporting, planning and permitting violations at 332 legacy AT&T Wireless (AWS) sites now owned by NCW.
The violations, which occurred at AWS sites in 43 states, such as cellular towers, transmitter sites, switching stations and warehouses, included failure to comply with Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) reporting requirements related to the presence of sulfuric acid and diesel fuel at sites, inadequate or no Clean Water Act (CWA) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans, and Clean Air Act (CAA) minor source permitting requirements.
The EPCRA requirements help communities plan for emergencies involving hazardous substances, the CWA’s SPCC rule requires facilities to have oil spill prevention, preparedness, and response plans to help prevent oil discharges to navigable waters and adjoining shorelines, and the minor source permitting requirements under the CAA ensure that air emissions limits are met.
Under the settlement, NCW will provide a certification of EPCRA compliance at 1,356 sites and conduct comprehensive compliance audits of CAA and CWA/SPCC requirements at 1,361 and 41 legacy-AWS facilities, respectively. NCW has also agreed to pay stipulated penalties for all disclosed and corrected violations discovered through these audits.
NCW has also agreed to conduct environmental projects, which will provide hazardous materials awareness and health/safety training to building inspectors and fire fighters. The projects will also support the procurement of emergency response equipment such as fire-fighting equipment, gas meters, hazmat identification equipment, satellite phones and other emergency communications equipment. The seven entities, located in four states that will benefit from the projects are: Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and Georges Lake Volunteer Fire Department, Putnam County, Fla., New York City Fire Department, N.Y., Yancey, Texas Volunteer Fire Department, Texas, and San Diego, County California Office of Emergency Services, Bodega Bay, California Fire Protection District, and Los Angeles, California Police Department Calif.
Since 1998, nearly 6,000 telecommunications facilities have been brought into compliance through more than 30 settlements as part of EPA’s effort to improve compliance in the telecommunications sector.

EPA Announces Action Plans for Chemicals Used in Dyes, Detergents, and Flame Retardants
September 8, 2010 /in EPCRA, TSCA /by Verdant Law
TSCA/EPCRA:
On August 18, EPA posted action plans for benzidine dyes, nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates, and hexabromocyclododecane. The chemicals at issue are “existing,” meaning that they are currently included on the inventory established under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and therefore may be lawfully manufactured, processed, and used in the United States, subject to whatever restrictions or other requirements the Agency imposes. According to EPA, these chemicals are widely used in both consumer and industrial applications, including as dyes, flame retardants, and industrial laundry detergents, respectively. Restrictions or further conditions on their use could therefore have significant economic implications for certain stakeholders.
The action plans summarize available hazard, exposure, and use information; outline the risks that each chemical may present; and identify the specific steps EPA is contemplating to address those concerns. According to the plans, the Agency is contemplating a range of actions under TSCA as well as listings under the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) established pursuant to Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). As it undertakes the proposed actions, EPA will provide opportunities for public and stakeholder comment and involvement.
The action plans are a further demonstration of EPA’s commitment to using its existing legal authorities to regulate chemicals that may pose a risk to human health and the environment. Until new legislation amending TSCA is enacted, readers should anticipate EPA’s creative and robust use of its existing authorities to implement the Administration’s chemicals management policies.
More information, including copies of the action plans, is available here. A summary of the plans is provided below.
Benzidine Dyes
This action plan addresses 48 dyes derived from benzidine and its congeners, 3,3′-dichlorobenzidine, 3,3′-dimethylbenzidine, and 3,3′-dimethoxybenzidine.
According to EPA, Benzidine and its congeners are important precursors in the synthesis of dyes. Some of these dyes have the potential to metabolize to aromatic amines that are considered to be carcinogenic. Benzidine and dyes metabolized to benzidine are classified as known human carcinogens, and Benzidine’s congeners, 3,3′-dichlorobenzidine, 3,3′-dimethylbenzidine, and 3,3′-dimethoxybenzidine and dyes metabolized to the latter two congeners have all been classified as “reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens.”
The dyes are used in the production of textiles, paints, printing inks, paper, and pharmaceuticals. According to the Agency, they have the potential to be leached from textiles, such as clothing, that are in prolonged contact with human skin. They are also used as reagents and biological stains in laboratories, are used in the food industries, and have more recent uses in laser, liquid crystal displays, ink-jet printers, and electro-optical devices. Because the dyes have the potential to metabolize to carcinogenic amines both in and on the human body, EPA is concerned about the potential risk from exposure, including exposure of children, from using products containing benzidine and congener-based dyes.
On the basis of existing information, EPA has concluded that the following actions would be warranted:
1. Initiate rulemaking to add four benzidine-based dyes to an existing TSCA section 5(a)(2)significant new use rule (SNUR) for benzidine-based substances at 40 CFR 721.1660. (A SNUR requires manufacturers who intend to use a chemical for the identified significant new use to submit an application, known as a Significant New Use Notice (SNUN), to the Agency for review at least 90 days prior to beginning that activity. The Agency’s review of the SNUN provides an opportunity to take other regulatory action if appropriate.)
2. Initiate rulemaking to establish a new TSCA section 5(a)(2)SNUR for benzidine congener-based dyes, including 44 specific such dyes.
3. Consider proposing to eliminate the article exemption applied to SNURs to address potential concerns for exposure to these dyes on imported finished textiles.
4. Consider initiating action under TSCA section 6, if EPA learns that these dyes are present in imported finished textiles.
5. Consider additional regulatory action, if EPA determines that there are other ongoing uses for these dyes and needs to obtain information necessary to determine whether those uses present concerns which need to be addressed.
Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol Ethoxylates
This action plan addresses Nonylphenol (NP) and Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs). NP and NPEs are produced in large volumes, with uses that lead to widespread release to the aquatic environment.
NP is persistent in the aquatic environment, moderately bioaccumulative, and extremely toxic to aquatic organisms. NP has also been shown to exhibit estrogenic properties in in vitro and in vivo assays. NP’s main use is in the manufacture of NPEs.
NPEs are nonionic surfactants that are used in a wide variety of industrial applications and consumer products. Many of these, such as laundry detergents, are “down-the-drain” applications. Some others, such as dust-control agents and deicers, lead to direct release to the environment. NPEs, though less toxic and persistent than NP, are also highly toxic to aquatic organisms, and, in the environment, degrade into NP.
According to the Agency, NP and NPEs have been found in environmental samples taken from freshwater, saltwater, groundwater, sediment, soil and aquatic biota. NP has also been detected in human breast milk, blood, and urine and is associated with reproductive and developmental effects in rodents.
EPA is initiating both voluntary and regulatory actions to manage potential risks from NP and NPEs. EPA intends to:
1. Support and encourage the ongoing voluntary phase-out of NPEs in industrial laundry detergents, as agreed to by the Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA). The phase out, which has already begun, is being coordinated with EPA’s DfE Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI)program and would end the use of NPEs in industrial laundry detergents by 2013 for liquid detergents and 2014 for powder detergents. In addition, EPA intends to encourage the manufacturers of all NPE-containing direct-release products (e.g., firefighting gels and foams, dust-control agents and deicers) to move to NPE-free formulations. EPA will develop an alternatives analysis and encourage the elimination of NPE in other industries that discharge NPEs to water, such as the pulp and paper processing and textile processing sectors, where safer alternatives may be available.
2. Initiate rulemaking to simultaneously propose a SNUR under TSCA section 5(a)and a test rule for NP and NPEs under TSCA section 4. The SNUR would designate use of NPEs in detergents and cleaning products as a significant new use, which would require submission of a SNUN at least 90 days before beginning that use. The proposed test rule would require development of the information necessary to determine the effects that NPEs and NP may have on human health or the environment.
3. Consider initiating rulemaking under TSCA section 5(b)(4)to add NP and NPEs to the Concern List of chemicals that present or may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
4. Initiate rulemaking to add NP and NPEs to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) established under EPCRA, which would require facilities to report releases of these chemicals to the environment.
Hexabromocyclododecane
This action plan addresses EPA’s review of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a category of brominated flame retardants. HBCD is used in expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) in the building and construction industry, as well as in consumer products.
According to EPA, people may be exposed to HBCD from products and dust in the home and workplace, as well as its presence in the environment. HBCD is supposedly found world-wide in the environment and wildlife. EPA claims that HBCD is found in human breast milk, adipose tissue, and blood. It supposedly bioaccumulates in living organisms and biomagnifies in the food chain, and it is persistent in the environment and is transported long distances.
The action plan finds that HBCD is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. It also presents human health concerns based on animal test results indicating potential reproductive, developmental and neurological effects.
EPA intends to initiate the following actions to manage the risk that may be presented by HBCD.
1. Consider initiating rulemaking under TSCA section 5(b)(4)to add HBCD to the Concern List of chemicals which present or may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. EPA intends to publish this notice of proposed rulemaking by the end of 2011.
2. Initiate rulemaking under TSCA section 5(a)(2) to designate manufacture or processing of HBCD for use as a flame retardant in consumer textiles as a significant new use. This would require manufacturers and processors to file a SNUN 90 days before manufacturing or processing HBCD for this use. The SNUR also would be proposed to apply to imports of consumer textiles articles containing HBCD.
3. Consider initiating rulemaking under TSCA section 6(a)to regulate HBCD. A section 6(a) action could take the form of a comprehensive ban on the manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce and use of a chemical substance, or a more targeted regulation to address specific activities. The extent of the rule for HBCD would be determined during the rulemaking process.
4. Initiate rulemaking in 2011 to add HBCD to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Listing on TRI will require manufacturers or importers to provide environmental release information.
5. Conduct a Design for the Environment (DfE)alternatives assessment of HBCD. The information developed may be used to encourage industry to move away from HBCD instead of, in addition to, or as part of any regulatory action taken under TSCA. The alternatives assessment would build upon existing knowledge and would consider various exposed populations, including sensitive human subpopulations, as well as environmental exposure.

ORANGEBURG, NY -- Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile today introduced a unique cellular communications plan that is designed to meet the needs of consumers in the New York metropolitan area who once thought they couldn't afford a cellular phone. Known as the "affordable portable," TalkAlong(SM) is an easy-to-purchase, simple-to-use, affordably-priced service with the lowest access rates available in New York.
The service will only be available to Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile customers. This product is the second major benefit the newly formed company has brought to the highly competitive New York market in the last month. On July 10, the company launched its MobileReach(R) Network, giving customers the largest East Coast footprint and the lowest roaming rates available from Maine to the Carolinas.
TalkAlong is designed for those users who -- unlike many who travel great distances each day with their phones -- want to use cellular service primarily in their home county or borough. From local businesses to busy parents, it is designed to meet the changing lifestyle needs of a new generation of cellular phone users.
Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile is responding to its customers who have said their top priority in wireless phone service is a low monthly access price.
"If you thought local cellular access rates could never meet your expectations for price and convenience, TalkAlong will change your mind," said Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile President - New York Metro Region, Rick Conrad. "Customers have made it clear that a low access fee is a top priority for their cellular needs -- now our customers can get it right here in New York."
TalkAlong breaks the price barrier, at $14.99 as a basic monthly access charge. It allows customers to select a "local zone" -- Westchester, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk, or one of the five boroughs of New York City -- and pay one low price for calls no matter what time of day or night. Any calls made or received outside the local zone cost $.99, eliminating such confusing variables as peak or off-peak, and roaming charges. Customers who choose Westchester, Rockland, Nassau, or Suffolk county can make and receive calls in their local zone at $.39 per airtime minute. Customers who select one of New York City's five boroughs will pay $.49 per minute inside their local zone.
"TalkAlong's name says what it is -- an around-town communicator. It's made for those of us who are more likely to cruise down the street than the Information Superhighway," said Conrad. "Our customer base grew by more than 57 percent in 1994 -- with more than half of that growth coming from personal use. We expect TalkAlong to really open up the market to even more general consumer and local business customers."
A version of the service was introduced in Washington and Baltimore in April and in northern New Jersey in May, and will be offered in most of Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile's markets by the end of the year.
Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile, headquartered in Bedminster, NJ, is the largest wireless service provider on the East Coast and the second largest provider in the United States.

The company was formed in July 1995 through the combination of Bell Atlantic Mobile's and NYNEX Mobile's cellular operations. The new company has more than 5,000 employees.
NYNEX is a global communications and media company that provides a full range of services in the northeastern United States and high-growth markets around the world, including the United Kingdom, Thailand, Gibraltar, Greece, Indonesia, the Philippines, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

More detail on this person: 6Brian Malcolm Glaspell passed away on the morning of January 6, 2019, surrounded by the love of his family and friends. He is survived by his wife Jeanie and children Sarah (Omar DeWitt) and Aaron (Brianna Bertovich), and a community of friends and neighbors. Born in Los Angeles, California, on Friday, June 13, 1945, to Mary Alice Smith and Charles Foster Glaspell, Brian grew up in Pasadena, graduating from Pasadena High School in 1963. After attending Pasadena City College, he joined the Army in 1965, trained as a helicopter pilot at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, and served in 1966-67 at Camp Holloway and at Dragon Mountain 4th Cavalry Division Camp near Pleiku. After Vietnam, he served as a pilot evaluator at Fort Wolters, Texas, until July 1969. Glaspell studied Southeast Asian history at Humboldt State University, graduating in 1971. He attended a graduate semester in Swedish history and culture at the University of Stockholm, served in the Peace Corps in Thailand in 1972, and then completed a Masters in Education at Oregon State University in 1974. After several years of teaching and school administration in Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, and Clatskanie, Oregon, Glaspell returned to study School Administration at the University of Oregon in 1981. He met his wife Jeanie while serving as a principal in Woodburn in the fall of 1982 and they married in July 1983. He also served as a middle school principal in Bend, Oregon, and Centralia, Washington. In 1991, Brian, Jeanie and their children found a true home in Port Townsend, where he served as school counselor to Quilcene and then Chimacum High School until his retirement in 2003. Brian will be remembered by his family as a loving husband, father and uncle, and to his friends as an engaging and loyal companion. A true Renaissance Man, always with attention to detail, Brian was a student of history/politics/sociology, the family chef, fix-it man, house builder, world traveler, writer, vintner, stained-glass artist, calligrapher, woodworker, and visionary; a walking encyclopedia of knowledge to share. He became a pacifist and a conservationist, committed to growing vegetables and fruit, planting trees to create sanctuary, and watching the birds move in. He loved to share the fruits of his labor with the food bank, as well as with friends and neighbors. Those who knew him rejoice that they had the opportunity to share eight years with Brian after diagnosis, before prostate cancer won the fight. Brian was interred in Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent on January 11, 2019. All who knew him are invited to participate in a Celebration of his Life to be held in the Cotton Building, 607 Water Street, Port Townsend, on Sunday, February 17, 1:30 p.m. Bring your best stories.

Versatile RB/KR Ameer Abdullah Returning to Vikings
Team Reporter
EAGAN, Minn. — Ameer Abdullah's versatility is staying in Purple.
The Vikings announced on Friday that they have re-signed the running back and kick returner, who has played 23 games with Minnesota over the past two seasons.
Abdullah was the Vikings primary kickoff returner in 2019, as he handled 13 returns for 325 yards, good for an average of 25.0 yards per return. His longest return was 38 yards.
The 26-year-old also chipped in offensively with 23 carries for 115 yards (5.0 yards per carry), and had 15 receptions for 88 yards and a score.
Abdullah's lone touchdown on the season came on a 16-yard pass from Kirk Cousins in Week 9 against Kansas City.
The former Nebraska standout is also actively involved in the Twin Cities and has a passion for helping underprivileged and underrepresented youth.
Abdullah, who is on the Vikings Social Justice Committee, wore cleats to support the Black Youth Project, which aims to empower young African Americans, during the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative.
Abdullah was a second-round selection by the Lions, who tabbed him with the 54th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
He has 350 career carries for 1,366 yards [3.9 yards per carry] with six rushing touchdowns. He also has 73 career catches for 518 yards and four scores.
Abdullah has averaged 27.0 yards on 72 career kickoff returns to total 3,830 return yards.
He remains in a running backs room that features Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison along with Mike Boone and fullback C.J. Ham.

What is iFoster?
by iFoster | April 19, 2019
iFoster is a national nonprofit organization providing foster youth with the resources they need to become successful adults. iFoster has built the largest national online community specifically for foster care, with curated resources and programs to address the greatest needs of our community.
Serita and Reid Cox, a married couple, founded the organization in 2010. This cause is especially close to Serita’s heart because she is a former foster youth.
Both Serita and Reid have overcome adversity in their lives and built successful careers in the business world before following their passion to help every foster youth achieve their potential.
iFoster currently has over 46,000 members in all 50 states, Guam and Puerto Rico, creating pathways to support almost all young people in foster care. An estimated 300 new members join iFoster each month.
Our mission is to ensure that each child growing up outside of their biological home has the resources and opportunities they need to become a successful, independent adult.
There are over 437,000 children in foster care in the United States today — and the government invests less than half of what an “average family” invests to raise a child. iFoster helps address this investment gap.
20,000 young people age-out of the foster care system each year without a supportive family to help them after care. Within four years of aging out of the foster care system — which can occur anywhere between 18 to their 21st birthday — 50% will be unemployed, 51% will experience homelessness, and 70% will be on government assistance.
iFoster provides the resources and opportunities the foster care community needs to help each young person reach their potential and become successful, independent adults.
We partner with thousands of agencies and hundreds of companies to provide the products, services, and opportunities that our foster youth need in order to successfully transition to adulthood.
iFoster Resource Portal
iFoster has over 500 resources (from free tutoring, eye exams and glasses, to career exploration and discounts on thousands of products), that are identified by the community as the highest needs.
An evaluation for the Federal Administration for Children and Families found that using the iFoster resource portal measurably reduced family needs, improved caregiver well-being, improved child well-being, and lead to greater placement stability.
iFoster Jobs Program
The iFoster Jobs Program is a trauma and evidence informed training program that provides foster youth with the job skills they need to succeed in the workforce.
iFoster has over 25 major corporate employer partners who offer interviews to each of the youths who graduate from training. Over 450 foster youth have earned living wage jobs in the 3 years the program has been operating and expanding.
The iFoster Jobs Program has been selected by the Federal Administration for Children and Families to undergo a formative evaluation as a promising practice in youth employment.
TAY AmeriCorps
TAY AmeriCorps is iFoster’s newest program as of March 2019. As a grantee of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), iFoster is deploying 100 current and former foster youth to serve as AmeriCorps members at 45 host sites, including high schools, colleges and youth workforce centers throughout LA County and the Bay Area
These members will connect current transition-age foster youth (TAY) — their peers — to a myriad number of resources such as tutoring and financial aid services. This program is designed to be a stepping stone for TAY to gain the skill sets they need to find permanent employment — specifically in the public sector — when the time comes.
iFoster is free to anyone who is involved in, or supports, foster care. iFoster members can be caregivers, transition age foster youth, former foster youth, or any organization that supports those in foster care.
If you are one of the above, we would love for you to join our community here.
The Future of iFoster
Through partnerships with hundreds of companies, government agencies, other nonprofits, and individuals who care about the well-being of our foster youth, iFoster will continue to make a vital difference in the lives of foster kids.
With your help, we look forward to producing more innovative, groundbreaking programs in the coming years that will result in a better quality of life for those in foster care. |

The Time is Now - Support H.R. 1610, The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act
H.R. 1610, The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act, was reintroduced by Reps. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.) on March 14, 2023. H.R. 1610 would allow Medicare beneficiaries access to the chiropractic profession’s broad-based, non-drug approach to pain management, which includes manual manipulation of the spine and extremities, evaluation and management services, diagnostic imaging and utilization of other non-drug approaches that have become an important strategy in national efforts to stem the epidemic of prescription opioid overuse and abuse.
To best serve their senior patients, chiropractic physicians must be allowed to practice to the fullest extent of their licensure, training, and competencies. Since the chiropractic profession was first included in Medicare in 1972, doctors of chiropractic and their patients have been burdened by arbitrary limitations that lack any scientific or sound policy justification. Research demonstrating positive patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness resulting from chiropractic care have advanced private coverage and state licensure to meet patient needs.
The federal Medicare program, which serves as a model for private insurance plans, currently serves more than 60 million individuals. Various projections forecast the number of people age 65 or older increasing by about one-third over the next decade. Chiropractic inclusion in Medicare was established in 1972 and has seen little change since then, other than elimination of the X-ray requirement in 1997.

How the Addicks once came under friendly fire from Reza's Iran . . .
Iran star Reza in action for the Addicks
Former Charlton head of communications MATT WRIGHT recalls the time the club - and consequently he personally - got caught up in a potential diplomatic incident
Having already become just the fourth Charlton player to play at the World Cup finals, Reza Ghoochannejhad will take on Argentina and Lionel Messi with Iran on Saturday night bidding to become the first Addicks player to score in global football's showpiece event.
In addition to the millions of fervent fans in his homeland, the striker is the centre of attention among Charlton supporters, especially after England's early exit from the competition. Ghoochannejhad's prominence for Team Melli has prompted regular mentions of Charlton on English commentaries and, you can be sure, across the world, bringing the name of the club to the attention of billions of people who might otherwise be unaware of the Valley men.
The interest shown in Ghoochannejhad's World Cup progress mirrors the support the Addicks have received since the forward arrived in SE7 in January. While his performances on the pitch, bar a stunning winning goal away against Leeds United, were largely ineffectual, Ghoochannejhad's presence has prompted thousands of comments on Charlton's Facebook page as Iranians follow his exploits in the Championship.
But the close relationship between Iran and Charlton wasn't always so harmonious. Indeed, early next month it will be six years since the Addicks sparked outrage in Tehran and beyond when they were accused of boycotting a match against Iran's national side for political reasons.
The resulting furore sparked a significant diplomatic incident as the Iranian Football Federation (FFI) complained to FIFA, and resulted in the club's press office being swamped by calls from irate Iranian journalists and even the BBC's Middle East desk. As the club's head of communications at the time, you can guess who was left to field those calls and, with the angry Iranian reporters refusing to honour club policy that any Charlton spokesman not be named, have their name the subject of ridicule across the Middle East.
Back in mid-July 2008, Dizzee Rascal was top of the charts, Mamma Mia! was the number one movie and Charlton, under Alan Pardew, were preparing to try to bounce back to the top flight at the second time of asking.
With a few other teams, including Gibraltar amateur side Lincoln, Rochdale and yes, Iran, also training in the Marbella area at the time, it was mooted that, while the focus was naturally on fitness, Charlton would be able to rustle up some friendly fixtures. If the plan sounds simple, it's because it was, yet the vagueness of the arrangements would ultimately prove problematic.
On July 9th, amid rising tensions with the US and Israel over Iran's nuclear programme, its state media reported that nine missiles, including a new Shahab-3 with a range of 1,240 miles, had been tested at a remote desert site. The move was widely condemned and when Brig Gen Hoseyn Salami, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' air force, insisted "Our missiles are ready for shooting at any place and any time, quickly and with accuracy", oil prices were sent soaring.
Almost three times the distance of a Shahab-3 missile away, meanwhile, Charlton officials were finding it difficult to arrange all three matches around other commitments and decided not to face Rochdale and Iran. Of the two, the latter took greater offence.
The timing was too much for Ali Kafashian, president of the FFI, who condemned Charlton's decision as "irresponsible and unsporting" and protested vociferously to FIFA that cancelling the friendly due to the missile tests was in direct contravention of the governing body's rules that bar political interference. At the same time, Egypt also pulled out of a planned game amid reports it was in retaliation for an Iranian film that honoured the assassin who killed Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.
Passions were inflamed, and the club's insistence that the missile tests had nothing to do with anything, and that the game hadn't been 'cancelled' because it had never been arranged in the first place, were treated with suspicion and outright hostility. I even had to refute reports that the British government had instructed the club that the game be cancelled and this line was supported by Sir Richard Dalton, the former British ambassador to Iran, who thankfully rejected any suggestion of political intervention, telling the Iran media that British law does not allow the government to instruct sports teams about their opponents. (This would prove to be less of an issue as the England cricket team cancelled a tour to Zimbabwe the same summer).
As I argued repeatedly with the Iranian journalists, it seemed bizarre that Charlton were being accused of such a politically-motivated decision when, eight years earlier, the Addicks had become the first English club to sign an Iranian player, Karim Bagheri. "The Iranian Zidane" became the first Asian to play in the Premier League, even if his impact at The Valley was notable more for his table-tennis prowess at Sparrows Lane and the swarms of Iranians who watched him play for the reserves than his solitary first-team appearance.
Ultimately, the row fizzled out. FIFA's legal department took no action, Charlton recorded a convincing 5-0 win against Lincoln with Jerome Thomas (2), Stuart Fleetwood, Andy Gray and Scott Wagstaff on target. Unfortunately, that result and their argument that the Iran friendly had never been arranged proved as persuasive as they would be all season. A disastrous campaign that saw Pardew dismissed in November and replaced by his equally unsuccessful assistant, Phil Parkinson, culminated in relegation to the third tier for the first time since 1981.
Fast forward six years and Reza Ghoochannejhad and Iran are spreading Charlton's name across the country in much more positive fashion. Kafashian, still president of FFI, was even quoted as having made a joke ahead of the game against Argentina when, having been asked by an American journalist about whether the Iran players had been instructed not to exchange shirts, he told journalists: “If Mr Lionel Messi wants all 10 Iran shirts, he can have them!"
Football has supplanted wrestling and weight-lifting as the number one sport in Iran, and Daily Telegraph reporter Jeremy Wilson reported this week on the huge progress that had been made by the national team in face of stifling international sanctions over the government’s uranium-enrichment programme.
What's more, Iran president Hassan Rouhani was pictured on Twitter watching their first game against Nigeria in an Iranian team shirt. It was believed to be the first off-duty picture of an Iranian president and was considered particularly remarkable because Rouhani is a cleric. More Iranian diplomats were pictured watching the match in Vienna during a break in nuclear negotiations with western officials.
After a 0-0 draw with the Super Eagles in their opening match, the Persian Cheetahs take on South American giants Argentina on Saturday when Ghoochannejhad, who has scored 10 goals in 15 international outings, will be seeking to go one better than Charlton's other three previous World Cup representatives and record a goal. Of John Hewie (two games for Scotland in 1958), Mark Kinsella (four games for the Republic of Ireland in 2002) and Claus Jensen (one game for Denmark in 2002), South Africa-born Hewie came the closest to netting, striking the post from a penalty in a 2-1 defeat to France.
Whether Ghoochannejhad can eclipse Messi, or find the net against Bosnia & Herzegovina, remains to be seen, but regardless of his and Iran's success, they are taking Charlton's name to new corners of the world. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11750 | {"url": "https://www.votvonline.com/home/the-2013-14-blogs/addicks-under-friendly-fire/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en",

As God’s instrument of judgment, the Babylonians had destroyed Jerusalem and the surrounding Judean towns. In the town of Mizpah a new government had been set up by the Babylonians under the leadership of Gedaliah – there was hope of some stability after the devastation. People returned to the land, and for a time there was a real prospect that the nation could be rebuilt. This peace was shattered by the assassination of Gedaliah. Fearing Babylonian retribution, the people headed to Egypt for sanctuary. As they arrived in Northern Egypt, they asked Jeremiah to consult with the Lord. What should they do? The advice was unambiguous: stay in Judah. God would be with the people, there would be no reason to fear the king of Babylon, God would deliver the people and have compassion on them. Alternatively, if the people sought refuge in Egypt they would die by the sword, famine and plague.
A lot of people define faith as belief in something in the absence of evidence. This is quite wrong! The dictionary definition of faith is trust or confidence in someone or something. The question facing the Judeans was, would they trust the Lord and his pronouncement that return to Judea would end well, or would they trust their own judgment (and Pharaoh Hophra) that residence in Egypt would offer a more secure future? The evidence was unambiguously in favour of trusting in God. For more than 40 years, Jeremiah had warned that judgment would come from Babylon and judgment had duly come! The decision that brought the people to Egypt was a rejection of faith in God. But God does not give up on people easily! He was about to speak through Jeremiah again – it would be the last message Jeremiah would give.
God speaks
By the time this message was given, the people now lived in both the upper and lower regions of Egypt. The original Hebrew text mentions the land of Pathros, which is the southern region of the country (upper Egypt), other towns mentioned are Tahpanhes, Migdol and Memphis (the capital of lower Egypt) . The people, in seems, had really embraced their new home and had settled deep into the country. Now God speaks through Jeremiah. Jeremiah indicates once again, that the words he speaks comes from ‘Yahweh Tsebaoth’ – the Lord of Armies or the Lord Almighty (as translated in the NIV): the emphasis is once again on God’s power and strength. The message is an appeal to evidence. Look at the disaster brought on Jerusalem and Judah – they are now deserted and in ruins. This was brought about by the Lord-of-armies as judgment on the wickedness of the people. The people could not deny this. They had heard the multiplicity of warnings given by the Lord through Jeremiah – they knew that their ‘wicked ways’ and their persistent worship of false gods was the trigger that brought God’s judgment on them. The evidence was before them!
Despite the clear lesson that faced them, it seems the people continued to worship false gods. In view of this, and the evidence of how God deals with such waywardness, why would the people take such a risk again? Previously a remnant had been preserved. Some had listened to the warnings of Jeremiah and had accepted a new life in Babylon. These people were the future and in a remarkable way their descendants would return to the land and rebuild Jerusalem. For those who were now depending on the Egyptians for safety and who continued to worship false God’s there was the threat of total annihilation. They were running the risk that this time there would be no remnant: why bring such great disaster on yourselves by cutting off from Judah the men and women, the children and infants, and so leave yourselves without a remnant? (verse 7). Jeremiah asks if the people really had forgotten what had just happened: 9 Have you forgotten the wickedness committed by your ancestors and by the kings and queens of Judah and the wickedness committed by you and your wives in the land of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem?
Failure to change would bring about disaster: 11 ‘Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am determined to bring disaster on you and to destroy all Judah. 12 I will take away the remnant of Judah who were determined to go to Egypt to settle there. They will all perish in Egypt; they will fall by the sword or die from famine. The few people who had survived the Babylonian onslaught and who were now in Egypt would be gone! The people were hearing the same warning Jeremiah had given to them before Jerusalem fell: they would be punished by sword, famine and plague.
It’s hard to imagine that such a clear warning could be ignored. Surely this time these people who had been through so much difficulty would at last turn to God and do what the right thing?
The people respond
As I write we are (once again) it seems amid another Brexit crisis. As the clock ticks toward 31st October 2019, proponents on both sides of this argument feverishly plot and campaign for the outcome they want. As I read the comments sections of newspapers it’s simultaneously disturbing and amusing to see how the same piece of news is interpreted in completely different ways depending on the bias of the observer. Boris Johnson has just had a meeting with Angela Merkel and at the press conference there were a few comments made by both leaders that suggested that the sticking point (the so-called Backstop) could be removed if the UK could come up with a viable alternative within 30 days. Remainers interpreted this as a clever ploy to show just how hopeless the goal was to achieve this: if they couldn’t find an alternative in 3 years of negotiating how will they find one in 30 days? thus there is no chance of the backstop being removed. On the other hand, the Brexiteers saw this as a major victory – the backstop and the withdrawal agreement are now open for negotiation: the EU has blinked first they say. The truth is probably somewhere in between, but what we observe is what psychologists call ‘confirmation bias.’ Confirmation bias involves favouring data or information that confirms one’s existing bias or belief. I think we’re all prone to this! This summer our family have developed a belief that the weather is always poor on a Sunday and that because of this we’ve had few occasions to have a barbeque Sunday lunch. I suspect that we allow any poor Sunday to confirm our bias whilst ignoring the Sundays with better weather! Why is this of interest to us in Jeremiah 44? It’s because the Judeans it seems were showing themselves to be subject to a totally erroneous confirmation bias.
They believed that back in their time in Jerusalem and Judea when they participated in the worship of foreign and false gods that their circumstances were good, but when they stopped worshipping false gods they experienced nothing but trouble: ‘At that time we had plenty of food and were well off and suffered no harm. 18 But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have had nothing and have been perishing by sword and famine.’ The people were of course ignoring 40 years of warnings from Jeremiah and about 1000 years of Hebrew history! It seems that they had made their decision to worship false gods and no amount of evidence would shift their view. Interestingly they were worshiping the Queen of Heaven, a female god most probably Ishtar, a goddess associated with fertility, love and desire. The women burned incense to this goddess and with the approval of their husbands made cakes ‘impressed with her image.’ It seems almost inconceivable that after all that these people had been through and all that they had been taught that they would so brazenly worship a false god. I’m somewhat reminded of the group in the church of England who want to refer to God as ‘she.’ Some things never change! This is wilful denial of truth.
These Judeans had now been given an unambiguous warning and they had observed that previous warnings and prophecies of judgment had been realised with stunning accuracy. How would they now respond? ‘16We will not listen to the message you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord!’ Sometimes people will just not listen. A response from Jeremiah was not long in forthcoming.
Coming judgment
There is a note of exasperation in what turns out to be Jeremiah’s last message to Judah. He says, we’ve been here before, you’ve burned incense to false gods before and look how that ended, do you think that God has forgotten? Don’t you remember that despite his patience God eventually did bring judgment: ‘22 When the Lord could no longer endure your wicked actions and the detestable things you did, your land became a curse and a desolate waste without inhabitants, as it is today.’ Jeremiah says, don’t you see that the very reason you are in Egypt is because of the incense you burned to false gods and now you’re doing it again!
In the UK, when the police question a suspect of a crime, they must explain very clearly what is happening, the words they use are: ‘You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.’ It seems that as Jeremiah addresses the people he does so with care and precision in his language, he repeats the charge of sin and for the avoidance of any doubt repeats the words the people spoke: ‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah in Egypt. ‘you and your wives have done what you said you would do when you promised, “We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.”
Having re-iterated the position of the people, it’s time to pronounce judgment: ‘Go ahead then, do what you promised! Keep your vows! 26 But hear the word of the Lord.’ The people have made their choice, OK, go ahead and live like that, but God will react! The judgment is introduced with the words: ‘I swear by my great name.’ As far as I can see, this phrase is used in no other place in the bible – it indicates that what God was about to say was deadly serious and what he said was not to be messed with. The pronouncement that follows is devastating and must be compared with previous words spoken in Jeremiah 29. God spoke of his plans to ‘to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ These words were addressed to those who had been obedient and had surrendered themselves to the Babylonians, just as God had instructed. In contrast, God had different plans for the people who had sought refuge in Egypt and had belligerently continued to offer incense to false gods: ‘27 For I am watching over them for harm, not for good; the Jews in Egypt will perish by sword and famine until they are all destroyed. 28 Those who escape the sword and return to the land of Judah from Egypt will be very few. Then the whole remnant of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know whose word will stand – mine or theirs.’ That’s pretty emphatic don’t you think? And it’s a warning to us too, we must not mess around with things that draw us away from the truth, the stakes are too high.
One can imagine that the confirmation bias of these rebellious people would make then think, well Jeremiah, look at us now, we’re safe, we’ve survived the Babylonian judgment, we’re OK. Our experience proves that your words are not worth listening to! But God would give a sign that his plans for harm would be realised. They sign was that Pharaoh Hophra, who was effectively providing the prosperous conditions from which these Judeans were profiting, would not survive: he would be delivered ‘into the hands of his enemies who want to kill him just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who wanted to kill him.’ History tells us that this is precisely what happened! Pharaoh Hophra (also known by the Greek name Apries) ultimately died at the hands of his own people who turned against him. Egypt had nothing to offer these people, their only hope lay in the path of repentance and a return to the Lord but they would not.
This is a stark warning for unbelievers – there will be no escape from God’s justice. We have the opportunity today to but our faith in Christ and in doing so to receive eternal life. For Christians too this sorry story is a reminder that there is a need to maintain a consistent relationship with the God of the universe which we do by ordering our lives according to the Spirit.

The Shadow of the Galilean: The Quest of the Historical Jesus in Narrative Form
by Gerd Theissen (Author)
First published in 1987 by Fortress Press, this 20th anniversary edition of this classic bestseller includes a new Afterword from the author. Here, in narrative form, is an account of the activity of Jesus of Nazareth, scrupulously constructed so that it does not undercut the insights of New Testament scholarship. What makes it different from other such attempts is that Jesus never actually appears. What we find everywhere is his shadow, his effect.
Such an approach avoids the usual pitfalls of the genre and lends this story – attributed to a fictitious narrator – an attraction, freshness, and power all its own. Tension and interest are maintained to the end, even for those sated with books about Jesus. Careful documentation in the footnotes shows how much of the narrative is based on ancient sources.

"An achievement in 'narrative theology,' illuminating the social world of Jesus from rich sources and imaginative reconstruction, Theissen's book combines scholarship and story. The author supplements his fictional creations with letters to a professorial colleague, Dr. Kratzinger, illuminating methodology. The book should be a boon to preachers on the Gospels."

Trump HHS Proposal Criticized As Burden For Biden Administration
Kaiser Health News | By Phil Galewitz
Mandel Ngan
A proposed rule could cause headaches and extra work for the successor of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, seen with President Trump in November.
The Trump administration wants to require the incoming Department of Health and Human Services team to review most HHS regulations by 2023 — and automatically void those that haven't been assessed by then.
The recentlyproposed rule would require HHS to analyze within 24 months about 2,400 regulations — rules that affect tens of millions of Americans on everything from Medicare benefits to prescription drug approvals.
The move — widely seen as a political ploy by HHS — met a fierce backlash from consumer advocates and health providers who fear it would hamstring federal health officials in the Biden administration, just as they're seeking to control the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed more than 280,000 Americans.
Critics see the timing as pointed. The proposed rule was issued Nov. 4 — the day after Election Day, when it appeared President Trump would likely lose his bid for a second term.
"The cynical part of me thinks this is a perfectly designed way to bring the department to a standstill in the next administration," says Mary Nelle Trefz, health policy associate at Common Good Iowa, a consumer advocacy group.
She says HHS does not have the bandwidth to review all these regulations during the next two years while running its many programs, including Medicaid and Medicare.
If the proposal is finalized before Jan. 20, it is likely to be undone by the incoming Biden administration. In the past, incoming administrations have typically frozen new rules that were pending but have not taken effect before Inauguration Day, to give new administrations time to unwind them.
But in this case, even that chore, Trefz says, would be time-consuming and add to a long list of duties for HHS officials while they are trying to attack the pandemic.
Trump staff denies it is playing politics
HHS officials deny their proposal was aimed at the Biden administration. Brian Harrison, chief of staff at the department, says he first sought legal review of the proposal in April. "Our lawyers moved as fast as they could," he says, and the rule was written with the expectation it would be implemented during Trump's second term.
"The outcome of the election had nothing to do with it," Harrison says.
Democrats and Republicans for the past 40 years have failed to review existing regulations, leaving unnecessary and irrelevant rules on the books, Harrison says.
Sunset clauses, or efforts to review funding bills and other legislation, have been popular among conservatives for years. The federal government has occasionally used sunset provisions in legislation, such as the tax cuts enacted during the George W. Bush administration, but it is rare to make department regulations subject to these types of mandatory deadlines.
The option is more popular among states, which have adopted varying procedures for measures passed by the legislatures or regulatory boards. Those efforts run the gamut from requiring most initiatives to be reviewed to identifying specific agencies or legislation that must be reconsidered on a regular timetable.
Still, it would be unusual for a state to require an analysis of virtually every regulation in one of its agencies — with a threat to kill the rules if not done in a certain time period.
Public comment period has mostly expired
HHS accepted public comments on the proposal only through Dec. 4, except for the part of the rule affecting Medicare regulations, which has a Jan. 4 deadline. A final rule is expected before Biden becomes president on Jan. 20.
HHS officials don't point to any specific regulations they say are outdated. However, in their supporting material for the proposal, they note in part:
"An artificial-intelligence-driven data analysis of HHS regulations found that 85 percent of department regulations created before 1990 have not been edited; the Department has nearly 300 broken citation references in the Code of Federal Regulations, meaning CFR sections that reference other CFR sections that no longer exist."
Harrison says the scarcity of reviews is due to "inertia" and "lack of an incentive mechanism."
"Many presidents have formally ordered their agencies to review existing regulations, and it has been existing law for 40 years, so simply asking the divisions to review these regulations has been tried for decades and proven to be ineffective," Harrison notes.
"We need to incentivize their behaviors," he says.
With more than 80,000 employees, the department should be able to complete the review of 2,400 rules in 24 months, Harrison adds.
Andy Schneider, a research professor at the Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University who has written about the proposal, says he fears the sunset provision will be one of many actions the Trump team will take to distract the incoming administration.
"It speaks volumes that they waited until the end of the fourth year of the administration to decide that the regulatory process needs to be improved," he says.
Harrison notes that the Trump team'sproposal is authorized by a law signed by President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s requiring federal agencies to review existing rules. But that law has no provision that calls for cutting regulations that are not reviewed within a certain time frame, Schneider says.
The proposal says the HHS secretary would have flexibility to stop some regulations from being eliminated "on a case-by-case basis."
Cost of rules review: up to $19 million
HHS estimates the reviews would cost up to $19 million over two years. Regulations would have to be reviewed every 10 years under the proposal.
When he took office in 2017, Trump vowed that for every regulation his administration issued, it would remove two. In July, he said his administration had more than exceeded that goal.
"For every one new regulation added, nearly eight federal regulations have been terminated," he said in a Rose Garden speech. The Washington Post Fact Checker has said that claim is based on "dubious math and values each regulation as having equal weight."
One of the few groups to endorse the HHS proposal is the National Federation of Independent Business. That group says the Trump administration proposal would alleviate regulatory burdens on small businesses.
But other groups, such as the American Academy of Neurology, suggest the proposed rule would limit input from interested partieson changes to existing regulations because it would not follow the usual process of seeking public comments when altering rules. "The AAN is highly supportive of the current process to modify and rescind regulations through the notice and comment period, as it affords stakeholders the necessary opportunity to provide feedback on proposed regulations prior to changes being implemented," the group told HHS.
The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission, which advises Congress, opposes the proposal. "MACPAC questions the need for a proposed rule that creates a duplicative and administratively burdensome new process that is likely to create confusion for beneficiaries, states, providers, and managed care plans," the group said in a letter this month to HHS. "The new requirements will create additional unnecessary work that will distract the department and CMS from the critical roles they play in our health care system, Medicaid and CHIP amid the pandemic and its resulting economic challenges."
It's unclear how the proposed rule would affect long-standing regulations for product safety and standards, says Betsy Booren, senior vice president of the food lobbying group Consumer Brands Association.
"The idea that these regulations would be sunset because a regulations timer went too long is not acceptable," she wrote in comments on the proposed rule.

Got Game: Are The Hornets Exceeding Your Expectations?
WCCB Team
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The under manned Charlotte Hornets fell to the San Antonio Spurs 122-110 on Sunday. They finished the game with only eight available players after Devonte’ Graham left with left knee discomfort.
Despite the recent injury problems and COVID protocols, the Hornets have found a way to stay competitive this season. Currently they’re the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference with a record of 13-15. Charlotte has won six out of their last ten games.

Can you list the top facts and stats about Executive order?
In the United States, an executive order is a directive by the president of the United States that manages operations of the federal government.[1] The legal or constitutional basis for executive orders has multiple sources. Article Two of the United States Constitution gives presidents broad executive and enforcement authority to use their discretion to determine how to enforce the law or to otherwise manage the resources and staff of the executive branch. The ability to make such orders is also based on expressed or implied Acts of Congress that delegate to the president some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation).[2] The vast majority of executive orders are proposed by federal agencies before being issued by the president.[3]
Federal administrative instruction issued by the president of the United States
Example from 1948
Like both legislative statutes and the regulations promulgated by government agencies, executive orders are subject to judicial review and may be overturned if the orders lack support by statute or the Constitution. Some policy initiatives require approval by the legislative branch, but executive orders have significant influence over the internal affairs of government, deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging wars, and in general fine-tuning policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes. As the head of state and head of government of the United States, as well as commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, only the President of the United States can issue an executive order.
Presidential executive orders, once issued, remain in force until they are canceled, revoked, adjudicated unlawful, or expire on their terms. At any time, the president may revoke, modify or make exceptions from any executive order, whether the order was made by the current president or a predecessor. Typically, a new president reviews in-force executive orders in the first few weeks in office. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11757 | {"url": "https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Executive_order", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wikiwand.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:08:12Z", "digest": "sha1:5QA6CNCIGUK5POV2AGLDRASIB2XATHJH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2411, 2411.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2411, 2723.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2411, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2411, 24.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2411, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2411, 189.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2411, 0.3649635]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2411, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2411, 0.06886228]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2411, 0.0988024]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2411, 0.0988024]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2411, 0.08433134]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2411, 0.06886228]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2411, 0.06886228]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2411, 0.04041916]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2411, 0.06736527]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2411, 0.05938124]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2411, 0.00486618]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2411, 0.11192214]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2411, 0.50415512]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2411, 5.55124654]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2411, 4.64276178]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2411, 361.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 68, 0.0], [68, 102, 0.0], [102, 150, 0.0], [150, 174, 0.0], [174, 197, 0.0], [197, 223, 0.0], [223, 343, 0.0], [343, 403, 1.0], [403, 1158, 0.0], [1158, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 2014, 1.0], [2014, 2411, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 68, 0.0], [68, 102, 0.0], [102, 150, 0.0], [150, 174, 0.0], [174, 197, 0.0], [197, 223, 0.0], [223, 343, 0.0], [343, 403, 0.0], [403, 1158, 0.0], [1158, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 2014, 0.0], [2014, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 28, 2.0], [28, 68, 6.0], [68, 102, 4.0], [102, 150, 7.0], [150, 174, 2.0], [174, 197, 3.0], [197, 223, 2.0], [223, 343, 16.0], [343, 403, 11.0], [403, 1158, 117.0], [1158, 1238, 11.0], [1238, 1256, 3.0], [1256, 2014, 115.0], [2014, 2411, 62.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 68, 0.0], [68, 102, 0.0], [102, 150, 0.0], [150, 174, 0.0], [174, 197, 0.0], [197, 223, 0.0], [223, 343, 0.0], [343, 403, 0.0], [403, 1158, 0.00405405], [1158, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1256, 0.23529412], [1256, 2014, 0.0], [2014, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 68, 0.0], [68, 102, 0.0], [102, 150, 0.0], [150, 174, 0.0], [174, 197, 0.0], [197, 223, 0.0], [223, 343, 0.0], [343, 403, 0.0], [403, 1158, 0.0], [1158, 1238, 0.0], [1238, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 2014, 0.0], [2014, 2411, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.07142857], [28, 68, 0.1], [68, 102, 0.08823529], [102, 150, 0.0625], [150, 174, 0.08333333], [174, 197, 0.04347826], [197, 223, 0.03846154], [223, 343, 0.04166667], [343, 403, 0.03333333], [403, 1158, 0.01986755], [1158, 1238, 0.0375], [1238, 1256, 0.05555556], [1256, 2014, 0.0171504], [2014, 2411, 0.00755668]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2411, 0.91716927]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2411, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2411, 0.85593182]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2411, -61.41639446]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2411, 55.22176406]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2411, 88.82334935]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2411, 14.0]]} |
The role of lithium in the renewable energy markets, and related companies
By Paul Dvorak | January 5, 2017
Editor’s note: Lithium is used in high power density batteries that work in EVs and serve grid stability functions. However, its supply is a concern because it seems mostly available from one South American location. The news here reports on other sources.
http://www.Financialbuzz.com – According to a research conducted by the International Energy Agency, the share of renewable energy in global power generation will increase to over 26% by 2020, from 22% in 2013. Renewable energy is a diverse industry and includes companies that focus on, biofuels, solar energy, wind power, wave power, lithium-ion batteries, hydropower and more. MGX Minerals Inc. (OTC: MGXMF) (CSE: XMG.CN), China BAK Battery Inc. (NASDAQ: CBAK), NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NRG), Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDP), Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDP)
Priorities regarding energy sources are shifting due to innovation in new energy technology sectors is growing rapidly. One of the most interesting developments has been in the lithium-ion batteries market, which is already being used in a wide array of applications. Recently published research on the global battery energy storage market for smart grid by Technavio, a firm that focuses on emerging market trends, claims that the li-ion batteries segment is projected to reach 3,130 MW by 2020, growing at a CAGR of close to 72%.
MGX Minerals is a diversified Canadian mining company engaged in the development of large-scale industrial mineral portfolios, such as lithium, in western Canada, the circled areas to be precise.
MGX Minerals Inc is a diversified Canadian mining company engaged in the development of large-scale industrial mineral portfolios in western Canada. The Company focuses on lithium, magnesium and silicon projects throughout British Columbia and Alberta. The Company is the largest lithium brine land holder in Canada, controlling nearly 487,000 hectares of land representing over one million barrels of brine production per day.
Recently, MGX Minerals announced that it, “has successfully extracted lithium from heavy oil waste water. Results are part of the continuing optimization for completion and deployment of a pilot plant in support of its 487,000-hectare Alberta lithium project.
The company owns a patent-pending process (U.S. provisional patent No. 62/419,011) for the extraction of lithium and other valuable minerals from oil brine. This technology is the first of its kind, reducing production time of lithium from brine by 99% compared with conventional lithium brine production times that use solar evaporation. Process time is reduced from about 18 months to one day using MGX’s process.
Heavy oil evaporator blowdown waste water (EBD) is one of the byproducts of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) during production of heavy oil. EBD was specifically targeted as the waste water contains mid-level concentrations of lithium and has the potential to generate high environmental revenue based on current disposal costs. MGX and PurLucid Treatment Solutions are working to combine their respective technologies and develop a pilot plant suitable for commercial use that will treat EBD to provide oil sand producers with additional environmentally friendly disposal options as well as recover valuable minerals such as lithium.”

Linux: It's Not Just for Servers Anymore
A perfect storm of marketing smarts and popular web apps might finally land the open-source OS onto consumer desktops.
PORTLAND, Oregon -- After years of being relegated to server racks and the desktops of ultrageeks, Linux is finally making some headway as a viable alternative to Windows on the consumer desktop.
That's the optimistic message delivered by a newly energized contingent of Linux proponents. By employing the same consumer-friendly marketing techniques practiced by Microsoft, and by taking advantage of the rising popularity of web-based applications, Linux vendors are getting ready for what they say will be a wave of consumer interest in the free operating system.
"This is the next great battle, and this is where Linux has never really been before -- Linux as a consumer product," says Gerry Carr, marketing manager of Canonical, one of many Linux distribution makers attending the ninth annual O'Reilly Open Source Convention taking place here this week.
Ten years ago, the free and open-source software community fervently hoped that Linux would rise to challenge Microsoft's position as the de facto consumer desktop software platform. Linux could run on a wide range of hardware, it could be configured for specialized tasks and -- best of all -- it cost nothing.
But the dream of Linux on every desktop hasn't come to pass. Most distributions are plagued by compatibility problems, and a fair amount of geek know-how is usually required to install Linux and get it working properly. As a result, Linux found more traction as a server operating system, undergirding the systems that power websites, databases and other back-office applications, where it holds almost 13 percent of the market.
The perception of Linux as too difficult for ordinary users may change now that Linux vendors are making a concerted effort to make their product easier for non-geeks to install and use.
Ubuntu, a Linux package distributed by the London-based Canonical, has been vastly influential in improving the OS's poor usability track record. The current poster child for the new breed of consumer-friendly Linux, Ubuntu is famously easy to install. Most users can get it running without ever having to type text commands into a shell terminal, a rarity among Linux distributions. Other flavors of Linux, like Mandriva and Debian Etch, have also won accolades for their ease of installation.
This "easy Linux" approach is winning fans. Ubuntu in particular is installed on 6 million to 12 million computers worldwide in more than 220 countries. Canonical also hosts a technical support community site that has more than 13,000 registered users.
Part of this growth can be chalked up to the trend of the LiveCD, a bootable disk image that users can download and burn to a CD to test the software. Most of the popular Linux makers release software on LiveCDs, and many also ship physical CDs to curious users anywhere in the world for free or for a nominal fee.
But what if a user doesn't know what to do with a downloadable disk image? In an effort to better serve the nontechnical crowd, Canonical is making the Ubuntu trial experience even more seamless. The company is developing a new application aimed at Windows users that, when launched, opens an instance of the Ubuntu desktop on top of the Windows desktop. Users will be able to run it, try it out and, if they don't like it, throw it away. But if they do like it, they'll be able to download the full OS.

"We want people to see it, feel it, actually understand it," says Canonical's Carr of the as-yet-unnamed app, which he says will be released soon.
While Canonical and others may be able to get Linux into users' hands via the web, getting it onto retail shelves is proving to be a bigger challenge. Free operating system vendors don't have Microsoft's deep, long-lasting relationship with PC manufacturers. Since Windows is available as a default installation on just about every consumer PC on the market, many new computer buyers still don't know what Linux is, let alone feel the need to download it, learn it and install it.
To change this, Linux makers have taken a cue from Microsoft and established relationships with top-tier hardware manufacturers in an effort to get the OS installed on consumer-level desktops and laptops.
In May, Dell launched a line of laptops and desktops with Ubuntu preinstalled. The release was a hit among consumers, and the company says more are on the way. Dell has also previously offered Japan-based Turbolinux as a preinstalled option to customers in Asia.
Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth has said more big-name hardware partnerships are in the works, though he remains tight-lipped about which manufacturers he's talking to.
"More companies shipping machines with Linux preinstalled would be hugely successful in accelerating (Linux's) growth," says Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation, an organization that supports Linux development through financial fellowships and public relations efforts.
A big reason for that success is the guarantee a factory-built Linux machine can give to customers: a computer that performs the way it's supposed to.
"People don't want to worry about that 'what if it doesn't work' scenario," Carr says. "They don't want to have to pick up the phone to figure out how to get their wireless card to work."
Another source of resistance: Potential switchers may worry about losing access to the core applications they use every day -- office productivity programs in particular. To that end, the recent rise in popularity of web-based applications has worked in Linux's favor.
Web-based apps like Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Zoho, Gmail and Flickr fulfill core needs of most users, and since they run in the browser, they look and behave the same on every platform. Users already hooked on web apps won't need to learn anything new.
"Web apps are really where it's happening," says the Linux Foundation's Zemlin. "They give you pure functionality, whether it's the banking application that you love, or the web app that keeps track of all of your photos. And it doesn't matter which operating system you use."
Zemlin also sees web-based applications as more than just a path to greater adoption of Linux. Because of the hackability of free software, he explains, those who package Linux are in a unique position to improve their users' experience out of the box. For example, there's a free set of scripts for Firefox called Greasemonkey that improves the performance of Google's web apps. By building those scripts into a default installation, Linux distributions can add a layer of polish to the platform's basic level of usability.
These strategies are making Linux and free software more visible, but the movement still has obstacles to overcome.
Linux famously has problems with hardware support. Wireless networking cards and graphics cards can be a hassle to get working, even in the "easy" distributions. There are software issues as well, from support for MP3s and popular fonts, which can be solved with a little bit of trial and error, to the lack of Linux support in popular productivity applications like Adobe Photoshop. And then there's the big one: the conspicuous absence of the video game industry's most popular titles.
Such shortcomings have made many users reluctant to use Linux, even among those who would love to switch if given the opportunity. And without a large pre-existing user base, manufacturers are reluctant to put their weight behind the operating system.
"It's a Catch-22," says Jon "maddog" Hall, long-time free software programmer and executive director of Linux International, a nonprofit group that promotes the use of the OS. You can't give users everything they want in a desktop operating system unless you have the backing of the manufacturers, he explains. But to get manufacturers' buy-in, you need a large enough user base to make the manufacturers' investments worthwhile.
"Volume," he says. "It's not the big thing holding Linux back, it's the only thing."
But according to Zemlin, the tide is turning. Manufacturers like Dell are starting to take notice as consumers demand more options -- and a vocal Linux community continues to lobby for support. He says more device drivers for popular hardware are arriving every day, and he predicts Adobe will announce Linux support for Photoshop within the next year or two.
"The good news is that there appears to be some volume happening in the places that actually matter," Zemlin says.

22 March 2019 - Wits University
A study by researchers at Wits and the London School of Economics has revealed very high rates of antibiotic prescribing in SA.
Dr Duane Blaauw, Senior Researcher in the Centre for Health Policy in the Wits School of Public Health and Dr Mylene Lagarde in the Department of Health Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science shared the findings at the Antibiotic Prescribing Study Dissemination Workshop at Wits on 20 March.
The study, which investigated unnecessary antibiotic prescribing in primary health care in South Africa, found that 78% of patients sent to a public clinic and 67% of patients sent to a private general practitioner (GP) received antibiotics, even though antibiotics were not clinically indicated for these patients.
The study results are important because unnecessary antibiotic prescribing is known to be related to the development of antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics, which are used to treat infections caused by bacteria, are responsible for many of the improvements in medicine over the last 60-70 years. However, most bacteria are becoming resistant to the antibiotics previously used to treat them. This poses a threat to public health as some common infections are now much more difficult to treat. Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is particularly critical for South Africa, which has a high burden of infectious diseases and among the highest rates of ABR in the world.
Previous research in South Africa has focused more on antibiotic use in hospitals. However, data from other countries has shown that the majority of antibiotics are usually prescribed in primary care. Respiratory tract infections (RTIs), such as the common cold and acute bronchitis, are amongst the main problem areas because primary care providers prescribe antibiotics for these infections even though they are caused by viruses rather than bacteria.
The Wits-LSE study was done in one of the large metropolitan cities in South Africa. It used standardised patients (SP), also sometimes called mystery patients, to evaluate unnecessary antibiotic prescribing for acute bronchitis in primary care. Afterwards, the participating nurses and doctors were interviewed to explore why they prescribed antibiotics when they were not clearly indicated.
This is one of the first studies to properly document the extent of antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract infections in primary care in South Africa, and the very high rates of antibiotic prescription by both public nurses and private GPs is a concern.
The healthcare provider surveys also revealed significant knowledge gaps, particularly in relation to the recommended management of acute bronchitis. However, better clinical knowledge was demonstrated in appropriate antibiotic use - healthcare providers who identified a probable viral cause in the patient case, and who knew antibiotics are not recommended for treating acute bronchitis, were much less likely to have prescribed an antibiotic. This suggests that healthcare provider education can contribute to improving rational antibiotic use.
One reason given by primary care doctors and nurses to explain their unnecessary antibiotic prescribing was that patients demand or expect antibiotics. That did not happen in this study, because the standardised patients never asked for antibiotics. In fact, a second group of patients sent to the study providers explicitly told the doctors and nurses that they did not want antibiotics unless they were really necessary. Antibiotic prescribing decreased by 20% for these cases in both the public and private sectors.
This finding suggests that providers sometimes prescribe antibiotics because they assume patients expect them, and that patient awareness campaigns may partly help address the problem. However, it is worth noting that more than half of these patients still received antibiotics even after stating they didn’t want them, indicating more entrenched patterns of prescribing behaviour that may be more difficult to change.
Overall the study has shown that national ABR strategies and campaigns also need to be concerned with what is happening in primary health care services, if the use of antibiotics is to be preserved for future generations. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11760 | {"url": "https://www.wits.ac.za/news/latest-news/research-news/2019/2019-03/new-study-finds-very-high-rate-of-unnecessary-antibiotic-prescribing-in-sa-.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wits.ac.za", "date_download": "2023-03-20T11:02:21Z", "digest": "sha1:OSFJ4YMWPUYDV7Y6ME7HYIL3D6WYBSCM"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4265, 4265.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4265, 5444.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4265, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4265, 90.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4265, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4265, 190.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4265, 0.42178771]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4265, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4265, 0.03830986]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4265, 0.04732394]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4265, 0.03605634]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4265, 0.01352113]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4265, 0.01117318]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4265, 0.10055866]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4265, 0.42064715]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4265, 5.46995378]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4265, 5.0696061]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4265, 649.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 160, 1.0], [160, 476, 1.0], [476, 792, 1.0], [792, 935, 1.0], [935, 1451, 1.0], [1451, 1905, 1.0], [1905, 2298, 1.0], [2298, 2558, 1.0], [2558, 3106, 1.0], [3106, 3625, 1.0], [3625, 4044, 1.0], [4044, 4265, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 160, 0.0], [160, 476, 0.0], [476, 792, 0.0], [792, 935, 0.0], [935, 1451, 0.0], [1451, 1905, 0.0], [1905, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2558, 0.0], [2558, 3106, 0.0], [3106, 3625, 0.0], [3625, 4044, 0.0], [4044, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 32, 5.0], [32, 160, 22.0], [160, 476, 52.0], [476, 792, 47.0], [792, 935, 20.0], [935, 1451, 83.0], [1451, 1905, 68.0], [1905, 2298, 56.0], [2298, 2558, 43.0], [2558, 3106, 74.0], [3106, 3625, 81.0], [3625, 4044, 61.0], [4044, 4265, 37.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 32, 0.20689655], [32, 160, 0.0], [160, 476, 0.00638978], [476, 792, 0.01302932], [792, 935, 0.0], [935, 1451, 0.00793651], [1451, 1905, 0.0], [1905, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2558, 0.0], [2558, 3106, 0.0], [3106, 3625, 0.00391389], [3625, 4044, 0.0], [4044, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 160, 0.0], [160, 476, 0.0], [476, 792, 0.0], [792, 935, 0.0], [935, 1451, 0.0], [1451, 1905, 0.0], [1905, 2298, 0.0], [2298, 2558, 0.0], [2558, 3106, 0.0], [3106, 3625, 0.0], [3625, 4044, 0.0], [4044, 4265, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 32, 0.09375], [32, 160, 0.0546875], [160, 476, 0.09493671], [476, 792, 0.01582278], [792, 935, 0.00699301], [935, 1451, 0.02325581], [1451, 1905, 0.01762115], [1905, 2298, 0.02798982], [2298, 2558, 0.01923077], [2558, 3106, 0.00547445], [3106, 3625, 0.00770713], [3625, 4044, 0.00477327], [4044, 4265, 0.01809955]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4265, 0.80281627]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4265, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4265, 0.30549139]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4265, -145.64746649]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4265, 49.41376635]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4265, 43.98436803]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4265, 25.0]]} |
Young people in Greece are protesting in large numbers after last month's train crash
By Lydia Emmanouilidou
In Greece, protests over the country's deadliest train collision are in their third week. Fifty-seven people died when a passenger and cargo train collided at high speed. Outrage has galvanized Greeks of all ages and especially young people, who see an opening for change in upcoming elections. From Athens, Lydia Emmanouilidou reports.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: (Chanting in Greek).
LYDIA EMMANOUILIDOU, BYLINE: Seventeen-year-old Stella Dorou would typically be in class on a weekday, but this Thursday morning, she's marching through downtown Athens with her high school classmates. Some are protesting for the first time.
STELLA DOROU: This is the first time I've seen everyone actually want to come out and do it 'cause it's kind of dangerous to protest here in Athens.
EMMANOUILIDOU: Dangerous because of police brutality. Painted on Dorou's cheek in black marker is a phrase that has become a rallying cry since the train crash - text me when you get there.
DOROU: Many people didn't actually get back to their homes safely, which - that's the most heartbreaking part of this whole situation.
EMMANOUILIDOU: Dorou knew one of the 57 people killed in last month's collision. As the students march, they chant, we will become the voice of the dead and, the young generation will not forgive you.
UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: (Chanting in Greek).
EMMANOUILIDOU: Since the collision, massive protests, the biggest Greece has seen in more than a decade, have erupted across the country, and people of all ages and backgrounds are showing up. But the rail crash seems to have struck a particular chord with the country's young because many of the victims and passengers on that train were students.
ALEXIA ATHANASIOU: (Speaking Greek).
EMMANOUILIDOU: "It could have been me on that train," 20-year-old Alexia Athanasiou told Greek media the week of the accident in a video that's making the rounds on TikTok.
ATHANASIOU: (Speaking Greek).
EMMANOUILIDOU: She explained that she's taken that same evening train from Athens to Thessaloniki for a night out many times and then taken the first train back home in the morning. She said some of the blame should fall on the stationmaster, who apparently failed to switch the train tracks leading to the high-speed collision. He's charged with negligent homicide. But she said "we Greeks are also to blame..."
EMMANOUILIDOU: "...For putting in power the same people again and again and again." Researcher Costas Gousis has been watching how those in their teens and 20s are responding to the tragedy.
COSTAS GOUSIS: We are seeing the shaping of a new political generation in Greece.
EMMANOUILIDOU: Gousis is with ETERON, a nonprofit that's been tracking the issues Gen Zers and young millennials care about.
GOUSIS: What really - is really happening here with this huge movement - you could see that it is coming, that this is a generation that at some point will say, this is enough.
EMMANOUILIDOU: He says, even before the train collision, many young Greeks were growing disillusioned. They staged big protests over a plan to place police on university campuses, plans to partially privatize Greek education and in response to a wave of violence against women. More recently, young artists have been in the spotlight, protesting a recent government decree that they say downgrades performance arts degrees to the equivalent of a high school diploma and will affect their salaries, among other things.
THOMAS: The country which is known for creating art is now killing it.
EMMANOUILIDOU: Thomas is a 25-year-old drama student, and he's reading one of the banners hanging outside the National Theatre of Greece in downtown Athens. He asked us to only use his first name. He and dozens of other students and artists have been camping inside the theater for more than a month. He says, to him, that feels more productive than going to the ballot later this year.
THOMAS: I don't believe elections will change something in Greece, whatever party comes in power. They don't work like this in Greece.
EMMANOUILIDOU: Historically, youth turnout in Greek elections has been low. This year, the youngest voters will be those born in 2006 - voters who grew up as the country was in deep economic turmoil. Nick Malkoutzis is with MacroPolis, a political and economic analysis website. He says the message the train disaster sent to young people is that Greece is an inhospitable place.
NICK MALKOUTZIS: I think a lot of those young people will look at that and really wonder if their future lies here or if there is any real possibility of things changing for the better. And that's a really depressing thought, to be honest with you.
EMMANOUILIDOU: At the protest in downtown Athens, 28-year-old Maria, an urban planner who only wanted us to use her first name, looks out into the crowd, a sea of thousands of people.
MARIA: I think there's hope. Finally, there's hope not only to change the government but our principles as a society.
EMMANOUILIDOU: We've been through a lot, she says. We really need change.

A Cuban Rafter Looks Back, 20 Years Later
WLRN 91.3 FM | By Lisann Ramos
the Miami Herald
This story, as told by Pedro Fournier, is part of an oral history series.
I was born in Guantánamo in 1956. I moved to Havana as a teenager to study and ultimately graduated with a math degree. In 1994, I decided take a raft to the United States.
I had to leave Cuba. I had no future there.
I graduated from the University of Havana believing that if I had a good education and worked hard, I would succeed in life. But because I wasn’t integrated enough with the government, there weren’t opportunities for me. So I resorted to selling produce on the streets with my university degree in my pocket. Later, I cleaned floors at the Hotel Inglaterra.
I also wanted to leave because I valued my freedom and found that I didn’t have the freedom to express myself in Cuba.
I started plotting my escape with a plan to try to get through the border fence at the U.S. naval base in Guantánamo Bay. On Aug. 1, 1994 I went to my 1-year-old niece’s birthday party in Guantánamo. That was the last time I saw many of my family members, including my father. I couldn’t even tell most of them that I had plans to leave. But it proved too difficult to try to get past security and onto the base.
On Aug. 5, I returned to Havana to find the streets filled with protesters. Several days later, Fidel Castro announced that whoever wanted to leave could go. So I got in contact with a cousin who also wanted to leave and we started working on a raft.
When it was ready, everyone in the neighborhood helped us get the raft on a truck we had rented. They wished us well, hugged us and gave us blessings. Many of the old women cried.
We drove the truck to the Brisas del Mar beach east of Havana. Even the people at the beach helped us get the raft out on the water. A neighbor of mine, who had planned on going with us, backed out at the last minute. And my cousin, who was just supposed to help us get out, ended up coming along.
The day we left was Aug. 30.

Two suspects have been identified in a mail theft scheme spanning a number of New Hampshire towns, Holderness police announced Saturday.

"In Holderness alone, we only had about a half a dozen people actually reporting things missing," DiFilippe said. "We know that there were a lot of mailboxes where they would go through the mail quickly and just leave it on the ground so people would report that to us."Police put out a call on social media, following the thefts, in an effort to identify the suspects, and it was the public DiFilippe said, that ultimately helped investigators track down the people allegedly responsible."The public that was able to provide a photo of a suspect vehicle, which matches the description of the one that we searched. It was the public that actually gave us the information we needed to obtain the search warrant," he added.Darci McCarthy has lived in Campton for 15 years. She said she was one of the dozens of people who had mail or packages stolen."It's never been an issue," McCarthy said.

HOLDERNESS, N.H. —
Two suspects have been identified in a mail theft scheme spanning a number of New Hampshire towns, Holderness police announced Saturday.
Holderness Police Chief Erik DiFilippe told News 9 that his department, with the help of several other neighboring police forces, had executed a search warrant and discovered more than two dozen missing pieces of mail.
The identities of the two suspects have yet to be publicly released.
Thirty packages and pieces of mail that had been reported stolen from mailboxes in Holderness, Thornton, Campton and Bristol were recovered, he said.
Charges for the suspects, who are local to the area, according to DiFilippe, are now pending.
Dozens of mailboxes rummaged through, packages stolen from homes across White Mountains region
"In Holderness alone, we only had about a half a dozen people actually reporting things missing," DiFilippe said. "We know that there were a lot of mailboxes where they would go through the mail quickly and just leave it on the ground so people would report that to us."
Police put out a call on social media, following the thefts, in an effort to identify the suspects, and it was the public DiFilippe said, that ultimately helped investigators track down the people allegedly responsible.
"The public that was able to provide a photo of a suspect vehicle, which matches the description of the one that we searched. It was the public that actually gave us the information we needed to obtain the search warrant," he added.
Darci McCarthy has lived in Campton for 15 years. She said she was one of the dozens of people who had mail or packages stolen.
"It's never been an issue," McCarthy said. "It's just a bummer that we've done that for so long and trusted it for so long."
The U.S. Postal Service is now considering taking over the investigation, DiFilippe said. It is still unknown whether federal charges will be under consideration. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11763 | {"url": "https://www.wmur.com/article/police-track-down-suspects-mail-thefts-new-hampshire-communities/43280072", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wmur.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:52:39Z", "digest": "sha1:CQUANC76H7L6TZ6LEJME32TO2GAH7RO3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5700, 5700.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5700, 8503.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5700, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5700, 134.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5700, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5700, 272.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5700, 0.28730703]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5700, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5700, 0.62806236]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5700, 0.6674833]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5700, 0.63407572]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5700, 0.63407572]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5700, 0.62806236]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5700, 0.62806236]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5700, 0.01002227]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5700, 0.01202673]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5700, 0.02227171]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5700, 0.24185249]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5700, 0.2084048]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5700, 0.3]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5700, 4.88043478]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5700, 0.01801029]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5700, 5.10522477]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5700, 920.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 112, 0.0], [112, 132, 0.0], [132, 1976, 0.0], [1976, 3778, 1.0], [3778, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3934, 1.0], [3934, 4153, 1.0], [4153, 4222, 1.0], [4222, 4372, 1.0], [4372, 4466, 1.0], [4466, 4561, 0.0], [4561, 4832, 0.0], [4832, 5052, 1.0], [5052, 5285, 1.0], [5285, 5413, 1.0], [5413, 5538, 0.0], [5538, 5700, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 112, 0.0], [112, 132, 0.0], [132, 1976, 0.0], [1976, 3778, 0.0], [3778, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3934, 0.0], [3934, 4153, 0.0], [4153, 4222, 0.0], [4222, 4372, 0.0], [4372, 4466, 0.0], [4466, 4561, 0.0], [4561, 4832, 0.0], [4832, 5052, 0.0], [5052, 5285, 0.0], [5285, 5413, 0.0], [5413, 5538, 0.0], [5538, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 77, 12.0], [77, 112, 7.0], [112, 132, 2.0], [132, 1976, 278.0], [1976, 3778, 299.0], [3778, 3797, 3.0], [3797, 3934, 21.0], [3934, 4153, 35.0], [4153, 4222, 12.0], [4222, 4372, 23.0], [4372, 4466, 16.0], [4466, 4561, 13.0], [4561, 4832, 49.0], [4832, 5052, 35.0], [5052, 5285, 42.0], [5285, 5413, 25.0], [5413, 5538, 24.0], [5538, 5700, 24.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 112, 0.32258065], [112, 132, 0.0], [132, 1976, 0.0464135], [1976, 3778, 0.00171331], [3778, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3934, 0.0], [3934, 4153, 0.00465116], [4153, 4222, 0.0], [4222, 4372, 0.0], [4372, 4466, 0.0], [4466, 4561, 0.0], [4561, 4832, 0.0], [4832, 5052, 0.0], [5052, 5285, 0.0], [5285, 5413, 0.016], [5413, 5538, 0.0], [5538, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 77, 0.0], [77, 112, 0.0], [112, 132, 0.0], [132, 1976, 0.0], [1976, 3778, 0.0], [3778, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3934, 0.0], [3934, 4153, 0.0], [4153, 4222, 0.0], [4222, 4372, 0.0], [4372, 4466, 0.0], [4466, 4561, 0.0], [4561, 4832, 0.0], [4832, 5052, 0.0], [5052, 5285, 0.0], [5285, 5413, 0.0], [5413, 5538, 0.0], [5538, 5700, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 77, 0.03896104], [77, 112, 0.2], [112, 132, 0.1], [132, 1976, 0.70770065], [1976, 3778, 0.02663707], [3778, 3797, 0.63157895], [3797, 3934, 0.03649635], [3934, 4153, 0.03196347], [4153, 4222, 0.01449275], [4222, 4372, 0.03333333], [4372, 4466, 0.03191489], [4466, 4561, 0.03157895], [4561, 4832, 0.01845018], [4832, 5052, 0.01363636], [5052, 5285, 0.00858369], [5285, 5413, 0.0390625], [5413, 5538, 0.032], [5538, 5700, 0.04938272]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5700, 0.88305485]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5700, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5700, 0.91239083]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5700, -105.88390682]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5700, 20.41450958]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5700, -165.29222256]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5700, 67.0]]} |

Taiwan’s Tsai welcomes retired US admiral for China talks

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Thursday welcomed the former head of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, who had warned the island could face an invasion from China this decade, as the mainland ramps up pressure on the self-governing island.
Retired Adm. Phil Davidson, along with a group including colleagues from the U.S. think tank the National Bureau of Asian Research, arrived Monday in the capital Taipei following a string of delegate visits to Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory, since tensions with the mainland spiked in August with the visit of then-U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I’m here to listen and learn from our hosts; thus far, I’ve done both,” he said. “I’m looking forward to continuing our discussions with President Tsai today and hearing her perspectives on the security environment and her outlook on U.S.-Taiwan relations.”
China’s People’s Liberation Army has stepped up its pressure on Taiwan in the past few years, sending navy vessels and fighter planes near the island.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday that 20 Chinese aircraft crossed the central line in the Taiwan Strait — a long-time unofficial buffer zone between the sides, which separated during a civil war in 1949. It sent 14 other planes in nearby airspace.
A day later, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said 17 Chinese aircraft crossed the median line Wednesday, with a total of 23 planes sent to fly around the island.
“Faced with the expansion of authoritarianism, Taiwan must strengthen our ability to defend ourselves,” she said, pointing to the upcoming extension of mandatory military service that she had just announced in December.
Tsai thanked Davidson on Thursday for his contributions to the “safety of the Taiwan Straits.”
Davidson, while still serving as the head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, had warned that China’s claims over Taiwan were a rising and tangible threat.
“Taiwan is clearly one of their ambitions before then, and I think the threat is manifest during this decade — in fact, in the next six years,” he told the Senate Armed Forces Committee in 2021.
He clarified this remark while in Japan just before his visit to Taiwan, saying that the scenario would not necessarily be an all-out war.
“In my mind, that can be many lesser things than an all-out invasion. One of those would be the threats to outer islands, and I think it’s a grave security concern of Taiwan’s,” he told the Japan Times.

Selden Map of China
The Selden Map of China. (Image: Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford)
This late Ming dynasty map depicts China, the South China Sea, and surrounding lands. It was drawn in the early 17th century on three sheets of paper by an anonymous cartographer with an eye for detail. Measuring 158cm in length and 96cm in width, the map is too big for practical use as a navigational chart, and probably served a decorative function instead, perhaps adorning the wall of a wealthy merchant’s house. It abounds in detail, carefully executed in black carbon ink and watercolours using Chinese landscape-painting techniques. Different species of plants are depicted across the map, and the Great Wall of China is visible towards the top, just below a scale bar and an accurate compass rose.
Where was it found, and when?
The map – along with an accompanying compass – was bequeathed to Oxford’s Bodleian Library by the London lawyer John Selden after his death in 1654, and it is by this former owner’s name that the chart is now widely known. It is believed to have been the first Chinese-made map to enter England, and while it is not certain how the Selden map initially arrived, it has been suggested that it was brought back by an East India Company official who acquired it in South Asia.
The Selden map has been kept at Oxford since it came into the Library in 1659, albeit largely forgotten until it was brought to light once more in 2008, reassessed, and conserved.
While the Selden map follows the standard imperial Chinese practice of using north as its cardinal direction, it unusually takes the middle of the South China Sea as its central point, relegating the slightly distorted Chinese mainland to a less prominent position in the top left.
With the sea at its heart, the map stretches as far as India and the Persian Gulf in the west, Siberia in the north, and Timor and Indonesia in the south-east. Lines cross the water, showing the many nautical trade routes, ports are labelled, written instructions outline how to navigate off the edges of the map, such as to the Red Sea, and notes provide warnings about strong currents in certain areas.
The Selden map is the earliest largescale nautical map from the Ming dynasty. Its focus on maritime trade across a vast region makes the map an important piece of evidence concerning how Ming China looked far beyond its borders over the sea, challenging the popular conception of the period that it was an inward-looking terrestrial empire.
The map is on display at the National Library, Singapore, until 22 March 2020 for the island’s bicentennial exhibition (www.nlb.gov.sg/exhibitions/).
The map has been part of the exhibition Talking Maps at the Weston Library, Oxford, which runs until 8 March 2020 (www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/whatson).

No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson Stuns No. 1 Purdue in Historic Upset
David has taken down Goliath once again.
For just the second time in men’s NCAA tournament history, a No. 16 seed has done the improbable and taken down a No. 1 seed, as Fairleigh Dickinson shocked top-seeded Purdue and won 63–58 on Friday in Columbus.
The Knights became the first and only other No. 16 seed to knock off a No. 1 since UMBC stunned Virginia in the first round of the 2018 tournament.
Sean Moore led the way for Fairleigh Dickinson all night long, scoring 19 points on 7-for-17 shooting and 3-for-10 from beyond the arc. The Knights also utilized a frantic defense, double-teaming Purdue star center Zach Edey throughout the game and forcing 15 turnovers from the Boilermakers.
Edey was the sole bright spot for Purdue, scoring 21 points and grabbing 15 rebounds in the win. The Boilermakers struggled with a poor shooting night and ended the game 5-for-25 from beyond the arc.
Fairleigh Dickinson will look to continue as this year’s Cinderella in the second round against the winner of No. 8 Memphis and No. 9 Florida Atlantic. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11769 | {"url": "https://www.wrbl.com/sports/sports-illustrated/6b1466f3/no-16-fairleigh-dickinson-stuns-no-1-purdue-in-historic-upset/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wrbl.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:47:05Z", "digest": "sha1:GNRPZTQ6AGFUJ2ALG6CO64C366JICD3C"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1109, 1109.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1109, 5638.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1109, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1109, 206.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1109, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1109, 242.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1109, 0.35319149]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1109, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1109, 0.08098988]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1109, 0.01799775]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1109, 0.0359955]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1109, 0.00851064]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1109, 0.22553191]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1109, 0.578125]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1109, 4.63020833]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1109, 4.38401258]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1109, 192.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 64, 0.0], [64, 105, 1.0], [105, 317, 1.0], [317, 465, 1.0], [465, 758, 1.0], [758, 958, 1.0], [958, 1109, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 64, 0.0], [64, 105, 0.0], [105, 317, 0.0], [317, 465, 0.0], [465, 758, 0.0], [758, 958, 0.0], [958, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 64, 11.0], [64, 105, 7.0], [105, 317, 38.0], [317, 465, 29.0], [465, 758, 46.0], [758, 958, 35.0], [958, 1109, 26.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 64, 0.04918033], [64, 105, 0.0], [105, 317, 0.03414634], [317, 465, 0.04861111], [465, 758, 0.03533569], [758, 958, 0.03608247], [958, 1109, 0.01351351]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 64, 0.0], [64, 105, 0.0], [105, 317, 0.0], [317, 465, 0.0], [465, 758, 0.0], [758, 958, 0.0], [958, 1109, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 64, 0.125], [64, 105, 0.04878049], [105, 317, 0.05660377], [317, 465, 0.06081081], [465, 758, 0.03412969], [758, 958, 0.02], [958, 1109, 0.05298013]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1109, 0.75533855]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1109, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1109, 0.7221759]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1109, -62.82940707]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1109, 8.55148675]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1109, 10.31725593]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1109, 16.0]]} |
Eric Musselman Rips Off Shirt in Celebration After Arkansas Beat Kansas
by: Karl Rasmussen
The Razorbacks' head coach let it all out after the win.
Arkansas ended Kansas's dreams of repeating as the men’s NCAA tournament champions on Saturday, pulling off a stunning upset of the No. 1 seed in the West region of the bracket. No one was more fired up over the statement win than head coach Eric Musselman.
The Razorbacks coach celebrated with fans by jumping onto the scorers table and removing his shirt while soaking in the victory. Musselman waved his shirt around in his hand while pumping his fists in what was a hilariously wild display from the 58-year-old, who had just earned one of the biggest wins of his coaching career.
With Bill Self unavailable to coach the Jayhawks, the No. 1 seed was stunned in dramatic fashion. The 72–71 defeat makes Kansas the second No. 1 seed to be bounced from the tournament after Purdue was taken down by Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday.
Clearly, the win means a lot to the players, and even more to the head coach.
With Arkansas bound for the Sweet 16, one can only imagine the level of celebration that will go down if they continue their dream run in the Big Dance. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11770 | {"url": "https://www.wrbl.com/sports/sports-illustrated/a0696c3e/eric-musselman-rips-off-shirt-in-celebration-after-arkansas-beat-kansas/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wrbl.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:40:41Z", "digest": "sha1:TO5OYIMARHAW4453OGSZUOCKQQQBGV6K"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1209, 1209.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1209, 5733.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1209, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1209, 206.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1209, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1209, 294.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1209, 0.4122449]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1209, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1209, 0.02777778]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1209, 0.02160494]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1209, 0.02057613]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1209, 0.00408163]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1209, 0.13061224]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1209, 0.6]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1209, 4.52093023]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1209, 4.50829486]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1209, 215.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 72, 0.0], [72, 91, 0.0], [91, 148, 1.0], [148, 406, 1.0], [406, 733, 1.0], [733, 979, 1.0], [979, 1057, 1.0], [1057, 1209, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 72, 0.0], [72, 91, 0.0], [91, 148, 0.0], [148, 406, 0.0], [406, 733, 0.0], [733, 979, 0.0], [979, 1057, 0.0], [1057, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 72, 11.0], [72, 91, 3.0], [91, 148, 11.0], [148, 406, 46.0], [406, 733, 56.0], [733, 979, 43.0], [979, 1057, 16.0], [1057, 1209, 29.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 72, 0.0], [72, 91, 0.0], [91, 148, 0.0], [148, 406, 0.00396825], [406, 733, 0.00623053], [733, 979, 0.025], [979, 1057, 0.0], [1057, 1209, 0.01333333]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 72, 0.0], [72, 91, 0.0], [91, 148, 0.0], [148, 406, 0.0], [406, 733, 0.0], [733, 979, 0.0], [979, 1057, 0.0], [1057, 1209, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 72, 0.13888889], [72, 91, 0.10526316], [91, 148, 0.03508772], [148, 406, 0.04651163], [406, 733, 0.00917431], [733, 979, 0.04878049], [979, 1057, 0.01282051], [1057, 1209, 0.03289474]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1209, 0.10233861]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1209, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1209, 0.37569708]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1209, -16.79003393]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1209, 28.11432417]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1209, 21.37689026]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1209, 12.0]]} |

Percent chance of rain

percentage of rain on a given day, data from over 112 years.

I was playing around my visualization software and graphed the historical likelihood of rain in Seattle over the last 100 years. (I have a way’s to go until I can do something as totally cool as this.) As noted earlier, the data’s useful if you’re planning a long time in advance. For example, for camping, July 30-August 1 is probably a good choice. If you want to scare off some friends from LA hoping to “take advantage of the cheaper housing,” invite them over for Thanksgiving. November 19th is the day it’s most likely to rain. And be dark, too. And if that doesn’t work, you can trot out the totally depressing graph #2 that shows the likelihood it will rain at least once during the week.
Downpours like the one seen during last year’s RSVP are uncommon, and the rain is typically less than one hundredth of an inch. As a comparison, here are graphs (Source: Western Regional Climate Center) showing the likelihood that it would rain at least a certain amount. For example, the first graph is 0.01″ — a light, misty drizzle. The second is 0.10″, or as we say “rain.” The last graph is 1.00″, aka “heavy showers.”
As a comparison, August 6, the first day of RSVP, showed 0.93″ of precipitation. The historical probability of that happening is small.)
Precipitation >=0.01″
Precipitation > =1.00″

Portland Groups Push for Massive Number of Affordable Units and Free Transit Passes for Residents at Old Post Office Site
Healthy Communities Coalition is pushing for changes on the project and potentially others going forward.

A coalition of organized labor, environmental groups and racial and social justice nonprofits are pushing a dramatic vision for the future of the old Post Office site in the Central City.
The Healthy Communities Coalition is asking Prosper Portland, the city's economic development agency, to commit to a wide range of proposals to benefit low-income, working-class and disabled Portlanders at one of the largest proposed housing developments planned near downtown.
In 2016, Prosper Portland (formerly known as Portland Development Commission) purchased the site for $88 million, and agency officials have said they want to make sure the project, known as Broadway Corridor, addresses some of the agency's past failings, including redevelopment that led to rapid gentrification.

The agency and the developer have committed to including what's known as a "community benefits agreement." Now comes the work of hashing out those specifics with the groups representing Portland residents.
In Portland, community benefits agreements have in the past been applied to construction projects, but the commitments the Healthy Communities Coalition are seeking are much more than that—and more than Prosper Portland has committed to in the past. They include:
—Offering free public transit passes for anyone who lives or works there,
—Making half the apartments on site be affordable,
—Making a quarter of units accessible to disabled people,
—"On-site, affordable childcare,"
—"Good jobs" for everyone that works there, including after construction, and
—Funding investments in the Cully neighborhood to improve air quality and transportation to address the U.S. Post Office's move into that Northeast Portland neighborhood.
The vision from Healthy Communities Coalition will be presented to Prosper Portland at a meeting tonight in Northeast Portland.
"We identified Broadway Corridor as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get development right in city of Portland—to show that the public sector, private sector and the community as whole can benefit from this opportunity as whole," says Vivian Satterfield, deputy director of OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon, one of the lead organizations for the Healthy Communities Coalition. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11773 | {"url": "https://www.wweek.com/news/city/2018/07/25/portland-groups-push-for-free-transit-passes-massive-number-of-affordable-units-at-old-post-office-site/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wweek.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:31:07Z", "digest": "sha1:TUJ5KDDLPXMXRFMINYJH2HQISDWOVOPB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2726, 2726.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2726, 3791.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2726, 19.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2726, 36.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2726, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2726, 309.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2726, 0.35222672]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2726, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2726, 0.03996448]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2726, 0.05994671]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2726, 0.03996448]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2726, 0.01417004]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2726, 0.15182186]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2726, 0.52322738]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2726, 5.50611247]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2726, 4.93901878]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2726, 409.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 122, 0.0], [122, 228, 1.0], [228, 385, 0.0], [385, 403, 0.0], [403, 432, 0.0], [432, 620, 1.0], [620, 898, 1.0], [898, 1211, 1.0], [1211, 1280, 1.0], [1280, 1486, 1.0], [1486, 1750, 0.0], [1750, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 1875, 0.0], [1875, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 1967, 0.0], [1967, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2216, 1.0], [2216, 2344, 1.0], [2344, 2726, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 122, 0.0], [122, 228, 0.0], [228, 385, 0.0], [385, 403, 0.0], [403, 432, 0.0], [432, 620, 0.0], [620, 898, 0.0], [898, 1211, 0.0], [1211, 1280, 0.0], [1280, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1750, 0.0], [1750, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 1875, 0.0], [1875, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 1967, 0.0], [1967, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2216, 0.0], [2216, 2344, 0.0], [2344, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 122, 20.0], [122, 228, 15.0], [228, 385, 24.0], [385, 403, 3.0], [403, 432, 7.0], [432, 620, 31.0], [620, 898, 39.0], [898, 1211, 46.0], [1211, 1280, 12.0], [1280, 1486, 31.0], [1486, 1750, 40.0], [1750, 1824, 12.0], [1824, 1875, 8.0], [1875, 1933, 9.0], [1933, 1967, 3.0], [1967, 2045, 11.0], [2045, 2216, 24.0], [2216, 2344, 19.0], [2344, 2726, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 122, 0.0], [122, 228, 0.0], [228, 385, 0.0], [385, 403, 0.0], [403, 432, 0.34615385], [432, 620, 0.0], [620, 898, 0.0], [898, 1211, 0.01986755], [1211, 1280, 0.0], [1280, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1750, 0.0], [1750, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 1875, 0.0], [1875, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 1967, 0.0], [1967, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2216, 0.0], [2216, 2344, 0.0], [2344, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 122, 0.0], [122, 228, 0.0], [228, 385, 0.0], [385, 403, 0.0], [403, 432, 0.0], [432, 620, 0.0], [620, 898, 0.0], [898, 1211, 0.0], [1211, 1280, 0.0], [1280, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1750, 0.0], [1750, 1824, 0.0], [1824, 1875, 0.0], [1875, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 1967, 0.0], [1967, 2045, 0.0], [2045, 2216, 0.0], [2216, 2344, 0.0], [2344, 2726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 122, 0.12295082], [122, 228, 0.02830189], [228, 385, 0.08917197], [385, 403, 0.16666667], [403, 432, 0.13793103], [432, 620, 0.02659574], [620, 898, 0.02517986], [898, 1211, 0.02555911], [1211, 1280, 0.05797101], [1280, 1486, 0.01456311], [1486, 1750, 0.03030303], [1750, 1824, 0.01351351], [1824, 1875, 0.01960784], [1875, 1933, 0.01724138], [1933, 1967, 0.02941176], [1967, 2045, 0.01282051], [2045, 2216, 0.04678363], [2216, 2344, 0.0625], [2344, 2726, 0.04188482]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2726, 0.22890741]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2726, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2726, 0.4544065]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2726, -115.27719498]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2726, 31.8326945]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2726, 9.88330482]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2726, 16.0]]} |

Walmart is launching a new activewear brand.
Walmart is launching a new activewear brand. YPulse’s fashion preferences and style report found that activewear is a top fashion trend young people are interested in, and loungewear and athleisure has exploded in the last two years. According to NPD Group, activewear sales were up by 37% in 2021. Walmart is a top retail brand among Gen Z and Millennials, and to build on the success of the activewear industry, the retailer is debuting its own brand featuring apparel at affordable price points. Love & Sports was created in collaboration with fashion designer Michelle Smith and SoulCycle instructor Stacey Griffith. The first collection will include 121 women’s activewear and swim items.

Google's self-driving car: What's in it for Google?
Self-driving cars from Google - it's real, but is it a good idea?
Written by Christopher Dawson, Contributor on Oct. 9, 2010
As ZDNet's Sam Diaz reported, when Google CEO Eric Schmidt told an audience at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference that "Your car should drive itself. It’s amazing to me that we let humans drive cars. It’s a bug that cars were invented before computers," many analysts suggested that he needed to be just a little less disruptive and a lot more focused on search. Even Sam suggested
Schmidt wasn’t implying that such technology is coming. It was more of a side thought in a speech that he delivered about the interactions that computers and humans can have to share day-to-day tasks and learn from each other.
Guess what? Not only is the technology coming, but it's already here and Google is already testing it extensively. Google announced today that its drivers had logged over 140,000 miles in the company's self-driving cars around the San Francisco Bay area. According to a blog posted today by Google Distinguished Engineer, Sebastian Thrun,
Our goal is to help prevent traffic accidents, free up people’s time and reduce carbon emissions by fundamentally changing car use.
So we have developed technology for cars that can drive themselves. Our automated cars, manned by trained operators, just drove from our Mountain View campus to our Santa Monica office and on to Hollywood Boulevard. They’ve driven down Lombard Street, crossed the Golden Gate bridge, navigated the Pacific Coast Highway, and even made it all the way around Lake Tahoe.
I find it a bit interesting that Google announced this on a Saturday when both Web and Bay Area traffic would be lighter than during the week. After all, as Sam, who is almost as big a Google fan as I am, called the idea "creepy." How will average consumers, let alone the Google conspiracy theorists, feel about it?
And, at least from my perspective, the most important question is what Google gets from self-driving cars? Obviously, Internet-connected cars, Android-powered car interfaces, and ad-serving GPS devices would be a boon for Google, but clearly the company has invested a fair amount of money in cars whose computers do a lot more than send you to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts. Sebastian Thrun says that Google founders "Larry and Sergey founded Google because they wanted to help solve really big problems using technology." I'm sure that's true, but Google's business is search and advertising. Where do self-driving cars come in? I don't think that it's to let consumers spend more time using their Android phones while their cars take them to work.
Actually, Thrun's post gives us a couple of clues:
All in all, our self-driving cars have logged over 140,000 miles. We think this is a first in robotics research.
This is all made possible by Google’s data centers, which can process the enormous amounts of information gathered by our cars when mapping their terrain.
By mapping features like lane markers and traffic signs, the software in the car becomes familiar with the environment and its characteristics in advance.
A quick read of the post would suggest that pure altruism is behind all of this and I'm sure that elements of Google's "Don't be evil" mantra are in there somewhere. However, the self-driving car has some serious potential growth implications for the company that don't stray as far as one might think from its core business.
Next: Can you say Web 3.0? »
The basic research component related to artificial intelligence and the cars' abilities to learn from their surroundings and their drivers screams semantic web. The better that Google's servers know and understand what we do, when we do it, at what time, and with whom, the better they can deliver highly relevant ads and search results. The semantic web is all about the ability of computers to understand, anticipate, and personalize our online experience. It will take some serious computer science advances to get us there, primarily focused on data management and artificial intelligence.
Google is also obviously looking to better leverage its Maps products and the extraordinary amount of data it already maintains on everything from StreetView to our Maps/Navigation queries. Google also has more processing power in its data centers than just about any other entity in the world. While fast search and relevant text ads currently make Google its money, the really smart folks at Google (and formerly of DARPA that Google hired for this project) can find new ways to leverage all of that power that can make money for Google in new ways that go far beyond its current efforts in ad serving.
Finally, this is about Android. Android is already making its way into the auto industry and if the mobile OS can ultimately be a bridge between smart vehicles and Google's datacenters, Google gets a win again.
My car won't be driving itself next year courtesy of Google. However, Google is taking a bit of a long-term risk investing in a set of technologies that will most likely pay off big time. And the payoff will extend beyond your car into the way you search and interact with the Web.

James P. Moreland Quotes
One Quote by: James P. Moreland of Talbot (Biola) School of Theology Distinguished Professor of Philosophy.
As you enter more and more deeply into progress in the way of Jesus, the Kingdom Triangle must be a the core of your life and (your church’s) strategy. The first leg provides a thoughtful sense of truth, knowledge, and direction to this approach to life; the second leg gives passion to the journey and allows one to lay aside baggage that gets in the way; the third leg provides the faith and confidence to risk more and more for God and expect him to actually be a coworker in the only sensible life plan available. This is what our culture needs… Don’t waste your life being preoccupied with things that don’t really matter. Join me in the revolution. This is your opportunity. Seize it and rejoice in it (p. 199).

The Secret Ingredient of Leadership Development: The 5 Pillars of Leadership
Implementing the 5 pillars of leadership in your team leaders will encourage them to become better and more effective team leaders. Keep reading to understand why the 5 pillars of leadership are so fundamental.
Bruno Boksic on Jan 29, 2023
Employee Well-being
Here's what you need to know about the secret ingredient of leadership development: the 5 pillars of leadership:
A leader always has a set of values, whether they’re aware of them or not.
You need to understand your employees’ needs and provide them with that so they can be effective and productive in the organization.
No person ever succeeds alone. A stable leader must create an effective support team that will keep them grounded.
You want to have great leaders in your organization — people who embody the 5 pillars of leadership and can:
Lead your team effectively
Manage teams through demanding projects
Create a pipeline of future leaders in the company
To do that, the leaders you have will need to embody the 5 pillars that create a stable foundation of leadership. This article will help you understand the 5 leadership pillars and how your team leaders can develop them professionally and personally.
The 5 pillars of leadership
There are 5 pillars of leadership. They are reflective of one’s:
An integrated life
All of these pillars are essential if you want to have strong and stable leaders within your organization. Let’s jump right into each pillar to understand why they’re so fundamental when it comes to leadership.
The leadership pillar of values
Values are an individual’s or organization’s deeply held beliefs. They provide guidelines that direct a person’s behavior, whether from a personal or professional perspective.
A leader always has a set of values, whether they’re aware of them or not. Their values are seen through the individual’s or organization’s actions when they’re entrenched in various complex challenges, problems, and situations.
Because a value is only of worth when it’s tested, there’s no point in claiming that honesty is an individual’s value if it was never tested during a potentially compromising situation. For example, an individual claiming honesty as a value will uphold that value even if they’re offered millions to do something that isn’t ethical or honest.
In order to develop values in your leaders, you will need to allow them opportunities to go through difficult situations, challenges, and problems and to come out the other side as a stronger person.
The same principle applies to all values — they can only be confirmed through situations that test them.
Honesty, integrity, courage, generosity, and other values must be tested when implementing them is difficult. That’s why they’re deeply rooted in the fabric of one’s existence.
In order to develop values in your leaders, you will need to allow them opportunities to go through difficult situations, challenges, and problems and to come out the other side as a stronger person. Give them projects you know will be difficult to successfully implement. Throughout the process, jointly evaluate their behavior.
Although individuals can consciously decide what they want to hold as their own values, they will likely find that those values change and evolve as the person overcomes complex challenges. Therefore, make sure you provide your staff with opportunities for development.
The leadership pillar of motivation
All motivations can be divided into two buckets: intrinsic and extrinsic.
Intrinsic motivations come from within the individual and are deeply personal. They’re the elements that feed and nourish the individual’s soul, heart, and mind. Some examples of intrinsic motivation include:
A sense of autonomy
Expertise in a field
Purpose in life and business
Extrinsic motivations come from outside the individual. They’re the elements that exist in the world around us, and once received, they provide us with satisfaction for a job well done. Extrinsic motivations can range from:
A salary increase and bonuses
Receiving the employee of the month reward
Gaining a higher social status in the company
A stable leader will understand how much motivation they need from one bucket and how much they need from the other bucket. Everyone needs both intrinsic and extrinsic needs met, but they’re not the same for every leader.
Some leaders want more intrinsic motivations, while others will thrive when receiving extrinsic rewards. It’s up to every leader to understand themselves and realize how much inspiration they need from each bucket to function optimally.
When they asked Shackleton how he managed to keep his team mentally stable when they were lost in the Antarctic sea, he said, “I treated every member of the team fair, but not the same. Fairness isn’t sameness.” Shackleton realized that some members preferred extrinsic motivation. In contrast, others thrived from intrinsic motivation, so he gave them what they needed.
As a leader, you need to understand your employees’ needs and provide them with that so they can be effective and productive in the organization.
The pillar of a strong support team
No person ever succeeds alone. A stable leader must create an effective support team that will keep them grounded. It doesn’t matter if it’s one person who steers them away from disaster or an entire group of people that provide the necessary support.
As a leader of leaders, you need to be the pillar of support for your team leaders. They will need to know that you’re there for them whatever happens and that you will advise them on how to proceed.
A leader that isolates themself from others and no longer hears any advice is bound to make terrible mistakes and be their own downfall. If values are a building’s foundation, it’s critical to acknowledge that a support team is a framework that leads us into an integrated life.
Living leadership through an integrated life
Integrated life changed the term work-life balance because it’s impossible to have a work-life balance. Work-life balance meant you needed to shut down your entire thinking regarding your career and office once the clock hits the time for you to go home.
That was possible when most people worked in factories, and the job required the employees to perform repeatable mundane tasks. In today’s market, employees need to be creative and innovative. This requires them to be fully engaged and think about their role. Try telling your marketing manager to stop thinking about their work once they leave the company — they can’t. It’s nearly impossible.
But this approach started creating problems with employees who were always “on” when it came to work, and they couldn’t shut down their thinking. Productivity experts learned that the solution to the problem wasn’t work-life balance but an integrated life.
People started to live their job, which became a part of their identity. That was how they achieved “work-life balance.” They decided they didn’t have to find balance when their work was already a part of them.
Imagine telling Usain Bolt that he is no longer a runner after he finished his daily training and went home. He would look at you like you’d lost your mind.
Employees today need to embrace the same mentality, and that’s particularly true for leaders. They must lead by example and adopt the mindset of an integrated life. As a leader of leaders, you can help them do so by enabling them to find their purposeful work.
The gift of self-awareness
The final leadership pillar is the most important of them all — self-awareness. Just as courage is a foundational value because it’s required to practice all other values, self-awareness is the leadership pillar that enables all other leadership pillars.
A leader with self-awareness will:
Understand their values
Find the proper measure when it comes to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
Create a stellar support team
Lead an integrated life
As a leader of leaders, you must provide your team leaders with leadership development training to help them develop self-awareness. This will allow your leaders to understand their blind spots and start working on them.
Implement the 5 pillars of leadership

What China’s latest X-ray positioning satellite means for deep-space exploration
Made in China might become a stamp for innovation, not replication.
in News, Space
A rendering of China’s XPNAV-1 satellite (CAST).
On November 10, aboard a Long March 11 rocket, China launched a suite of satellites into space. Among them was the innovative X-ray Pulsar Navigation 1 (XPNAV 1) satellite which is equipped with a world’s first instrument that offers X-ray-based navigation. Unlike classical satellites and spacecraft that rely on GPS-like features, the XPNAV 1 uses X-ray sources from space like those emitted by pulsars to triangulate its position. In other words, this tiny satellite is paving the way for a new class of spacecraft that will not only breach the final frontier but also find its way around it.
To send spacecraft to Jupiter or land them on a comet, scientists require deep space navigation with incredible precision, as otherwise, the spacecraft would just crash in the first junk it encounters in space. To navigate these spacecraft, we generally set our own planet as a reference point. We know Earth’s orbital parameters and inherent motions very well, so it’s just a matter of measuring the craft’s distance from Earth, the component of its velocity that is directly toward or away from Earth, and its position in Earth’s sky. These parameters are then converted to a sun-centric model.
This workflow has worked very well so far, but what happens if you want to exit the solar system? Because the craft is now many billions of miles away from Earth, it’s much harder to track and navigation can become increasingly skewed. As the craft gets farther and farther away from Earth, it will eventually travel in the dark.
The XPNAV 1 bypasses these limitations by reading deep space X-ray pulses given off by pulsars — highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars. The pulsar rapidly rotates around its own axis producing X-ray pulses at short intervals. The way your phone uses GPS to find your location is it sends electromagnetic pulses to multiple satellites then, based on the response time, it triangulates the position. Similarly, XPNAV 1 reads various X-ray pulses of predictable nature and location to locate itself with an accuracy of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). The error sounds like a lot (it really is too close for comfort) but scientists believe they can get more accurate positioning by finding pulsars with more consistent pulses.

NASA has it’s own X-ray pulsar navigation satellite too, the Station Explorer for X-ray Timing and Navigation Technology (SEXTANT) mission. However, the satellite will launch in 2017 and China seems to have undercut NASA by a couple of months.
XPNAV 1 is innovative, a word you won’t normally use to describe something made in China, but that may soon change. China’s President Xi Jinping is betting on space big time and wants to triple government spending on scientific research. His hope is a new wave of innovations will come out of China, one that will inspire future generations and startups.
“China has been relying on the knowledge discovered by others,” said in a statement Wu Ji, director-general of the National Space Science Center, who’s spearheading the effort to lobby for more space missions with possible economic spinoffs. “If China wants to rejuvenate the economy, it needs to put more resources into developing groundbreaking technologies.”
As part of China’s ongoing five-year-plan, the nation hopes to produce 70 percent of key technology components—such as semiconductors and software— domestically by 2025.
Other major milestones for Chinese space exploration which happen this year include the launch of the Tiangong-2 space lab, the world’s first quantum science satellite and the debut of the new generation Long March 7 rocket.

Positive Uses of Social Networking One Year Later #3
by Frances Jacobson Harris
A year ago YALSA launched the 30 days of positive uses of social networking project. Every day throughout October, three YALSA bloggers posted ideas and information about using social networking in the school and public library. The postings were in response to the U.S. Congress Deleting Online Predators Act and the realization that librarians working with teens needed support and information on using social networking with teens.
Now, one year later, the same YALSA bloggers are each writing an update post during the month of October about the world of social networking, teens, and libraries. You can see Linda’s post here and Kelly’s post here. Now it’s my turn.
As a school librarian, I’ve become sharply aware of the limitations that are placed on the use of social networking tools in our schools. In more schools than not, social networking tools are banned outright. It’s much easier for administrators to say no to all tools rather than try to distinguish among the huge variety that are now available, including those that are designed for educational use. It’s an interesting coincidence that one of my favorite school librarian bloggers, Doug Johnson (The Blue Skunk), posted about some of these same issues during October, even as we are engaged in this review. In his October 3rd “rant” (appropriately labeled with his “rant skunk”), Doug discussed the restrictions in terms of intellectual freedom. Blanket blocking of entire classes of information and tools is an unnecessary and illegitimate restriction of students’ intellectual freedom. On October 8th, he obtained Nancy Willard’s permission to reprint her LM_NET post on Internet fear-mongering. Nancy’s observation is that cyberbullying is causing kids far more harm than is sexual predation. Yet police, district attorneys, the FBI, and their audience – school administrators – seem to be fixated on social networking being a direct link to certain sexual predation. Doug’s October 30th post contrasts the different approaches taken by two videos on Internet safety – the U.S. Attorney’s Project Safe Childhood video and the What You Need to Know video from iKeepSafe. The first video focuses on the Internet and child predators while the second is about what parents can do to protect their children and, more importantly, how parents can teach their children to protect themselves.
Yet great social networking things are happening in schools too. I’ve just returned from the American Association of School Librarians National Conference and the program was peppered with sessions on social networking tools and Web 2.0 topics. Clearly, the times are a-changing. My feeling is that as these tools become part-and-parcel of the fabric of society, the barriers in schools will begin to crumble. There’s simply too much good to be had.
Letter to Congress
I tried to reply to Linda’s post, but my comment was “invalid!” so here it is:
OMG.
I didn’t check my email all day. See, bad things happen when you are offline!
I did compose a note to my Congressman, in the hopes he and his aides read their email in the AM.
Dear Congressman,
I am writing to implore you to vote AGAINST the Deleting Online Predators Act as it is currently written. The Internet today is a interactive and dynamic one, where ANY website that allows you to sign in and interact with other users is a social software website including online department stores like Amazon.com, WebCT (used for online courses), news sites like Digg.com and Instant Messaging services used by over 75% of teens! An educational exception can be applied to each and EVERY use of blogs, wikis, and social software – I learn something new every time I log on to a social software website, where I read, discuss, analyze, create, think critically, search, hypothesize, and prove. I cannot echo Beth Yoke, Executive Director of YALSA, enough: EDUCATION, NOT LAWS BLOCKING ACCESS, IS THE KEY TO SAFE USE OF THE INTERNET.
By largest concern is for students themselves. According to the Search Institute (url), there are forty developmental assets that teens need to grow up into healthy, contributing members of our society. Things like support in the form of adult mentors who are not blood relatives (i.e. an aspiring teen writer talking to an author in an online chat or via MySpace), clear boundaries (i.e. by following rules set by individual libraries and communities), being viewed as resources (i.e. valued for their fan fiction and web building and video game modding) and socialization (i.e. journalling, sharing photos, and creating films), to name a few. Access to these asset-building social softwares are KEY to teens emotional and psychological and physical and spiritual growth! How would banning collaborative web applications stunt that growth?
My next concern is that librarians, who are on the forefront of this Internet safety issue (and ethical use of the Internet, I might add!) were NOT included in the committee, although this legislation affects those that get E-rates. Why were no librarians included, when such legislation would have such a major impact? We are working so hard to DECREASE the digital divide by provided access to those who cannot get it at home – people in impoverished areas of the country, often people who are minorities.
My final concern is that this piece of legislation takes power AWAY from parents, and I simply do not believe it is the job of the government to be a parenting institution.
Although I understand schools act in loco parentis, and that students may be distracted at school by games, instant messaging, blogging, etc, drill and practice is boring for kids who have grown up playing video games. They need a sense of engagement to think more deeply. Perhaps, assignments should integrate social software web applications to meet the needs of today’s students. It’s a whole new literacy out there! Let’s prepare kids for it – not censor it.

The Lahore Rail Transit Orange Line Project undertaken by a Chinese company was connected by video link between Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province in eastern Pakistan, and Beijing, China on the 25th. The opening ceremony of the operation was held in this way, marking Pakistan’s entry into the “Metro Era”.
The Chief Minister of Punjab Province Buzdal said at the opening ceremony that the Orange Line is currently one of the most advanced urban rail transit projects in the entire South Asia region.
The operation of the Orange Line has improved the level of urbanization in Lahore and can provide benefits for Lahore citizens. Bringing modern, efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe travel services will help reduce air pollution in Lahore and has far-reaching economic and social significance.
Buzdal said that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has opened up a new path towards development and prosperity for Pakistan, and the successful completion of the Orange Line project will promote the further development of the traditional friendship between the two countries.
The Chinese Consul General in Lahore Long Dingbin said that the completion of the Orange Line project is another major achievement in the implementation of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
It is a concrete manifestation of the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic partnership and adds to the friendship and cooperation between China and Pakistan in the new era. New connotation.
Wang Xiaobing, deputy general manager of North International Cooperation Co., Ltd., told Xinhua News Agency that the Orange Line project all adopts Chinese standards, technology and equipment to realize the complete output of the entire industrial chain of China’s urban subway from design, manufacturing, construction to operation and maintenance.
The project will create more than 7,000 local jobs during the construction period, and nearly 2,000 jobs will be created during the operation and maintenance phase.
As one of the early harvest projects of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the Lahore Orange Line project was jointly constructed by China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. and China North Industries Corporation, and was implemented by China Railway International Co., Ltd. and North International Cooperation Co., Ltd.
The Orange Line project is financed by the Export-Import Bank of China, with a total investment of approximately US$1.6 billion. Construction began in September 2015 and completed and delivered in early October 2020. In February 2020, an enterprise consortium including Northern International Cooperation Co., Ltd. successfully signed an 8-year orange line operation and maintenance project contract with relevant parties in Pakistan.

Types of stories: How many are there, and which one are you telling?
Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at 9:28 AM by Ann Steffie
Storytelling has always been a part of the human experience. However, in this day and age, you may be tempted into thinking that the stories you tell or those told by your brand are all original works. While the details of what your story says will be tailored to your needs, in reality, there are only 7 types of stories.

The fact that there are only 7 types of stories may seem like a short change of sorts from an outsider’s perspective. But when it comes to telling stories of your brand, you may easily fall prey to going for the wrong story and delivery type.
Which type of story are you telling?
The trick to ensuring that your brand tells the right story is to be conscious and aware when picking what works for you from the available stories. From the general types of stories, 7 basic plot examples are usually followed.
1. Overcoming the Monster
This type of story is rather most prominent, with plot examples of an underdog turning the tables over the big boys. As the name suggests, this type of story is usually a tale of a seemingly minor league player going against the odds and beating the otherwise known dominant force.
In the case of brands and brand awareness, a brand story that follows this plot mainly works in markets that have been in existence for quite a while and have well-known dominators. Before a brand establishes its place in the high table, an "Overcoming the Master" brand story is usually associated with mixed emotions of sympathy and hope from the market.
When your brand is relatively new in a relatively old setup, the market will most likely see the promise your brand offers and hope that you can offer different, if not better. In most cases, when a brand chooses to go with this type of story, it’s usually a case of going all out and hoping that the industry will be kind to you on your way to the top.
2. Rebirth
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the story of Rebirth is that of a brand taking a second chance, deservedly or otherwise. Aside from the do-over associated with this type of story, when a company tells the story of ‘Rebirth’, it can also make itself known in a newer market.
Suppose your brand already had its hay days and has unfortunately been overtaken by events; the Rebirth plotline should be your go-to when you want to re-establish yourself. Thanks to the internet, the world has become nothing more than a global village, one in which a brand can lose its relevance in an instance or be replaced by a newer kid on the block.
In the story of Rebirth, it doesn’t necessarily have to be one where your brand went out of existence for a while. Instead, your story can be that of wanting to come out as something new. Another great rebirth story is the Easter story.
3. Quest

The story of Quest is that of seemingly throwing caution to the wind and going out into the unknown, and charting your course as you go along. It is one of the best types of stories for kids as they are entertaining. It is also a storyline used a lot in movies.
For your brand, the story of Quest can be one of putting your money where your mouth is and deciding to go all out in something you believe in. For most markets, when a brand chooses that Quest is the way to go, the market will cheer you on and support you, albeit with some reservations.
It’s worth noting that when you decide this story plot is the way to go for your brand, have everything in your power to see to it that you emerge victoriously. Otherwise, if your brand’s Quest doesn’t pan out, the market may at times be overly truthful and convert your story to be that of one who flew too close to the sun.
4. Journey and Return
Voyage and Return is probably one of the most inspiring story archetypes a brand can tell. The story is usually a case of a brand that went through its worst of times and lived to tell the tale.
For your brand to sell the Journey and Return story, it’s usually a case of your brand going through and living through where others couldn’t. Covid-19 is probably one of the best and most relatable presets a brand can use for its Journey and Return story in this day and age.
When it comes to the pandemic, you can tell your brand’s story as that of one which unexpectedly sailed into unchartered waters but managed to come out strong. On the other hand, the Journey and Return story can, unfortunately, be translated as being over your head and not acknowledging other factors and forces.
The multiple interpretations of the story notwithstanding, the Journey and Return story genuinely sells a brand as being reliable. In addition, a good story of this kind will demonstrate to others how your brand managed to live through its worst of days and remain firm.
5. Rags to Riches
Rags to Riches is an inspiring story for a brand to tell and one that can be sold the majority in a potential market due to its relatability. When showcasing that your brand truly made the best out of what it had, Rags to Riches is an excellent way to show that your brand can be relied upon when it comes to making the best out of resources.
This type of story makes the masses view your brand as being one of their own. But, thanks to the nature of the majority of people having to start from rock bottom and with odds stacked against them, the story of Rags to Riches portrays your brand as being a hope that reaching the stars is possible.
To honestly sell your brand’s Rags to Riches story, transparency about how you got to the top is an important element. In addition, having information about how you climbed to the top is critical in determining how your brand would be perceived. Hakainde Hichilema is a classic example of this story.
6. Tragedy

The story of Tragedy is one that you can use to describe your brand as being a victim of life’s unfairness. Pity and compassion can be thought of as a great way to get to and cement your place in people’s minds.
Naturally, humans connect to the suffering of others because they can relate to it, and they feel that it’s not a feeling that’s too far from them. So the story of Tragedy is usually followed up by the story of rising from the ashes.
7. Comedy
The story of Comedy can be best told by a witty choice of words to build up a context that the audience to your brand can relate to. This is why comedies like Hey Arnold do so well.
When you exclude instances that your brand’s audience can relate to, your quest to tell the story of Comedy could be dead even before it begins. A great understanding of the audience to your brand is usually the first step to curating this type of story.
When it comes to telling your brand’s story, there is no limit to what you can accomplish with the different types of stories available. However, whichever way you decide to go when telling your brand’s story, you should first ensure you understand your target audience as well as the message you’d like to put across.

Cybermen, The Colorado Tragedy, and the Sociopath in the Comment Thread: Don't Add to the Crazy
We still know nothing of the motives of the demented gunman who perpetrated the horrors at the screening of The Dark Knight Rises on Thursday night—and my heart goes out to the victims of that tragedy.
But I think it’s important to note that earlier that day, the Rotten Tomatoes movie review site had to disable comments on the film The Dark Knight Rises because of death threats against movie reviewers who hadn’t loved the film.
Yeah. Death threats. Over reviews. People got so heated in the comment thread they were threatening to kill reviewers of a film they’d never even seen.
Mob behavior is always dangerous, but mobs form more easily out here in Cyberia. When they spill over into real life, real tragedy happens.
I’m not saying there was a cause and effect situation with the Rotten Tomato Dark Knight Rises death threats and the horrific event in Colorado, but in a larger sense they are linked. The guy didn’t choose to attack the audience at a screening of Magic Mike or Ted.
Violent acts are usually preceded by violent talk. And there’s an awful lot of it these days.
Since I’ve been urging new authors to become active in social media, I think it’s important to mention something about its perils. When I started interacting online a few years ago, I seriously didn’t have a clue about the evils that lurk in the dark corners of the Interwebz.
They are many. With the anonymity afforded by the Webz, people say things they’d never say in person. Especially if they’re using a “screen name” or posting as anonymice. (Radio host Dave Congalton had a great discussion about the dangers of anonymous comments on his show on July 17th. You can listen to a podcast here.)
For some the Web is the opposite of “Cheers”—it’s a place where nobody knows your name. Anonymous posters may feel as if they’re wearing cloaks of invisibility, and can do whatever comes into their heads and never suffer consequences because its’ “not real.” (Another reason I urge writers to use their own names in all their online activity.)
Anonymous posters may perceive the others they interact with as “invisible” too—after all, a series of digits is not a person. They forget those digits represent actual human beings with real feelings.
They can also represent real sociopaths.
In her bestselling self-help book, The Sociopath Next Door, Dr. Martha Stout says that one in every twenty-five people fits the DSM criteria for “anti-social disorder” –people defined as “sociopaths.” These are people who have no conscience and no capacity for empathy.
That means in every comment thread or forum with more than twenty-five entries, a sociopath could be lurking. Your hyperbolic comment or snarky post may be taken literally by a demented person—which can lead to tragedy.
So we need to weigh our words and check our facts just as carefully online as we do when we’re speaking in person.
Also, the anonymity of the Webz can make perfectly nice, sane people suspend their own empathy when they get riled into thinking they’re supporting a just cause, dissing a “public figure” and/or defending one of their own.
People will stop by a forum or a blog, let an incendiary remark spark their rage--and suddenly they’re part of an army of socipathic Cybermen bent on destroying everything in their path.
I’ve been swept up in some Cybermen armies myself, which I regret deeply. (For the non-Whovians out there, Cybermen are a fictional army of villainous cyborgs from the TV show Dr. Who. They have human brains, but no emotions aside from the occasional bout of rage.)
Some of my own Cyberperson behavior happened when I let myself go along with the crowd in a blog thread and didn’t check facts. Other times I got involved when I jumped in to defend someone.
Unfortunately, whatever our intentions, if we’re swimming in the cesspool, we’re part of the stink.
Sometime last year I saw a blogpost about an author who is one of my idols. He was accused of “unethical” behavior by a self-appointed group of amateur “literary police” who seem to be remarkably unschooled in the business of publishing. Dozens joined in the comment thread, each in higher dudgeon than the one before.
The result was a dogpile of stupid and nasty. A mass temper-tantrum. It made me furious. So I pounded off a comment to defend my hero.
Trouble was, I was so angry, I hit enter too soon and my comment sounded as if I was agreeing with the meanies.
I got an email a moment later from my idol. It said “Et tu, Anne?”
I don’t know when I have felt like such a worm. I went back to the post and tried to clear up what I had said, but the damage was done. The classy writer forgave me, but I didn’t really forgive myself.
A few months later I personally became the target of the same literary Cybermen army. Their rage had been sparked by posts and tweets by a few people who misinterpreted one of my pieces on this blog.
I endured a similar dogpiling of hate and self-righteous rage—almost all anonymous.
Including actual death threats sent to my home by people who said they were "watching me" and "had a gun."
This week I was introduced to one of the bloggers who had dissed me. She had no inkling of the tsunami of crazy she had unleashed. She’d simply meant to be snarky and funny and had believed the voices of “righteousness” who accused me of some sort of deviousness I hardly understood.
UPDATE: here's an absolutely awesome graphic by author Dalya Moon in response to this post. Dalya, you're my hero!
It’s important to remember we judge others by what we know. A kind and truthful person expects kindness and truth from others; a manipulator sees deviousness behind every smile; and a sociopath will project the contents of his own damaged soul onto the entire population. That means when you habitually accuse others, you’re saying more about yourself than you are about the people you accuse.
Luckily the snarky blogger turned out to be a kind and truthful person who had expected her sources to be the same. She apologized sweetly and publicly and I’m sure we’re going to be friends.
But unfortunately, words can’t be unsaid. I have to stay away from the places where the anonymous Cybermen army lurks. A lot of writers’ forums are off limits for me, because any mention of my name lets loose the verbal violence.
True sociopaths don’t mind being seen as evil—they’re usually pretty proud of it. But their Cybermen minions are convinced of their own righteousness, which justifies everything they do, no matter how cruel. They are not rational, so trying to reason with them is futile. They explode in rage when you show kindness to one of their victims or ask them to “have a heart”—because they don’t. They have disabled their own capacity for empathy.
I once saw a thread on a news story about a man who’d murdered his two year old baby in its crib. An anonymous commenter said it served the child right for not carrying a gun. Yeah. I wish I’d known how to do a screenshot then, because it was hard to believe my own eyes. I almost fired off a comment like “have you ever MET a two-year-old?” Until I realized either the guy was being ironic, or he was acting like a two-year old himself. And as any parent (or even an aunt) knows, you do not argue with a two year old. You give him a time-out.
That was when I stopped reading comments on news stories. It’s where the Cybermen live.
But if you’re dealing with social media, eventually you’re going to run into Cybermen, anonymous sociopaths, and even some armed two-year olds.
Here are two things to remember when you’re dealing with an Internet meme of “righteous rage”.
1) Never join in a brawl.
Joining in a barroom brawl just makes it bigger. Either you’ll appear to be joining in the attack on the victim, or you’ll be offering yourself as an even juicier target. (And the sheriff is going to haul the whole tootin' lot of you off to the hoosegow. Go watch some old Western movies.)
2) The old adage is right: “Never argue with a drunk or a fool.”
Of course I have no idea if the people making death threats on Rotten Tomatoes—or the armed two-year-old—were consuming alcohol, but they were drunk: on rage. So are the Cybermen armies. Psychologists who specialize in anger management say that anger can flood the brain with endorphins very like the high of alcohol or cocaine.
One in every 25 people may be a sociopath, but I’d say that here in Cyberia, even more than that will engage in sociopathic behavior. Certainly the people who attacked me (and my idol) didn’t show a shred of empathy.
I would urge everybody who interacts online to weigh your words as heavily as you would if speaking in person—because you’re closer to the “real world” than you think.
And if you see a dogpile of crazy heaping on some designated victim—whether it’s a reviewer, fellow writer, or even someone who's "fair game" like a celebrity or a politician—take a deep breath, step away from the keyboard and repeat the Golden Rule.
If you have turned into an empathy-free Cyberperson, and you don't believe that “others” deserve the same respect you want for yourself, get off the Internet. Go hang out with some real people in the real world. Or pet a real dog.
You aren’t actually a sociopath—remember? Your actions have consequences, even if you feel invisible.
What happened on Thursday night shows that we live in a world full of unspeakable violence.
Don’t let yourself add to it, online or off.
I’d love to have you weigh in here, scriveners. Let’s try to keep political and incendiary statements out, lest we activate an army of sociopathic Cybermen
On a much happier note: I have a spectacular announcement. On August 5th, we will have a very, very special guest on this blog. Academy Award-nominated actor Terence Stamp, who is also a novelist and memoirist, will be here talking about his writing process and his new publishing company.
You know how I’m always talking about the importance of Social Media? Well here’s an example. An iconic movie star has asked to visit the blog of little old moi because here in the e-age, blogs can be as important as The New York Times in reaching the public.
See why you need to have a blog searchable by your own name, with your contact information displayed prominently?
Also: I've been making a few little tweaks to the template here, since some readers have pointed out the font and links have been a little hard to read. So I changed fonts and darkened the link color. Let me know what you think!

Reservoir colonialism
Reservoirs are a great example of our colonialism of the environment. Here’s a hardy cedar that’s coping pretty well with having it’s forest neighbors on the downhill side totally obliterated. Reservoirs also eliminate human inhabitation, as happened with the town of Rowena, Kentucky, now moved to dry land. Our planners here in the US are pretty arrogant. Long ago, I worked on the archaeology of a lovely pre-horse Pawnee hunting camp (bison butchering site) that was going under the Calamus Reservoir, in central Nebraska. At the time, the Calamus River was the most constant-flowing river in North America. Now it’s dammed up, and the wild, sandhills flavor of this part of Loup County is muted.
Don’t even get me started on the impact of the Three Gorges Dam.

I love cyclocross.
One of the biggest 'cross races in the country just happens to occur up the road in Gloucester. It's a two day racing extravaganza with some of the sport's top riders battling it out on a fast, aggressive course-which, for the rest of the year is known simply as a park--Stage Fort Park. In addition to the sport's superstars, there are HUNDREDS of hacks and wanna-be's. That's where I fit in.
If you're unfamiliar with what cyclocross is-go here.
I signed up to race both Saturday and Sunday. Ambitious? Yes, but like I mentioned, I love cyclocross.
In any event, I woke up early Saturday morning-to the sound of pouring rain. This would test just exactly how much I love cyclocross...
Cyclocross is perhaps best when the elements are against the racers. Rain, snow, mud, ice-these are key ingredients in a successful 'cross season. So, I sprung out of bed and went down stairs to finish gathering my gear. I made the mistake of sitting on the sofa for a minute... and closing my eyes for a minute... only a minute... it was such a long week at work... I really was exhausted.... It really was pouring out... I just wanted to close my eyes for a minute... the sofa was so soft and warm...
And just like that, I was out $30 for an entry fee as I woke up just as my group would have been hitting the start line. I was lulled to sleep by snoring dogs. Damn them!
At that point, I did the only sensible thing, I went back to bed.
Saturday was a wash out, so I re-focused my mental energies on Sunday's race. I got all of gear ready the night before, so all I'd need to do would be to roll out of bed and into my car.
The weather Sunday morning was MUCH better than Saturday, although still quite damp and foggy.
I arrived early enough to get my race number and to ride a quick practice loop. I'll say it now, and I'll say it again, this was one of the most confusing race courses I've ever been on. Fortunately, I was pretty much within the confines of the taped course, so as long as I didn't break the tape or duck out underneath, I just has to follow the yellow or white tape. However, the course was different than the day's previous race course, so the clearly defined tire tracks and mud would veer off one way, while the tape would force a turn in the other direction. This alone was almost too much for my small brain. Add to this the loopy-loop design, where the course just kept looping back in on itself (I think at one point, I was forced through a wormhole only to pop out of a hole in the fabric of space-time), and it was just a matter of pedaling until I was told to stop.
It was time to line up at the start. Again, for those who don't know much about 'cross races, the start can totally make or break your race. The classes can get big (94 starters in my class), so if you start near the back, you're fighting the whole race to get towards the front... heck the race leaders can be in the first turn before the back of the pack even leaves the start line. Being in the middle of a mssive start like this can be treacherous too, as one overlapped pair of riders can bring everyone down. The front, is definitely where you want to be. To be fair, the first row, at the start, is usually for series points leaders and other racers who have their game faces on. Front line starting positions are coveted and valuable. As a perk for being a member of ECV--the race's host club--ECV members were given prime starting spots for their individual races. This put me on the front lines.
I've started nearly every 'cross race I've ever entered in the back. That's been fine for me, as I'm just in it for the fun, so I just looked at it as a chance to start in the back and pass as many racers as possible. And, if there was a crash in the middle, I'd be able to go around (or over) it.
Starting at the front was a bit surreal. I had 93 riders behind me that would be hoping to take me down. Fun! The start whistle went off and the race was on. I was in the second/third spot up the first hill, but wouldn't hold that spot for long.
I'll make no excuses, I'm not in "race shape." I just race to have fun, so it's no surprise that I got passed by many racers. Cyclocross is fast--essentially an all out sprint from start to finish--with tight turns and running sections. I had my engine redlined and my plan was to keep riding until the race--or I--ended.
As I mentioned, the course was confusing. When the announcer would declare that we had one or two laps left to go, I honestly didn't know what to make of that as I had no idea where I was in terms of completing a lap. Just keep going!
It was SUPER cool to have Jean there to cheer me and my feeble effort on (and take pics), and my buddy Glen (who was racing later in the day, and kicked some ass) was there to yell at me as well. Glen's encouragement got me to give 110% at the end and take out a couple of guys on a sprint to the finish.
In the end, I came in about mid-pack, 45th out of 94 starters. I'm not in it to win it--I just have fun.
Next up--Portland, Maine!

It's been a while since I posted pics of Blaze here, so I tried to take some shots with my Blackberry.
The flash really did a number on his eyes!

I'd be afraid, very afraid, if I had a cat with headlight eyes.

I took these last summer. I don't think I've posted any of them yet.
The raccoons come up to the deck each evening looking for food. I always leave something out for them. At first they were fairly skitterish, but now they will jump up in my lap if I'm sitting outside when they come. It's awfully cold outside now though, so I haven't been doing it lately. If I am late to take food out to them they will paw at the windows....
Close-up....
This is so cute! Especially the close-up.
They get tame enough to jump on your lap? Be careful though that you don't get scratched or bitten.
Aren't you a little worried for your cat?
Racoon stories...one summer evening I was trying to get my young cat Diva to come in the house so I stuck my head out the window and called "here kitty kitty". A head popped up from behind the deck but she just looked at me so I repeated "here kitty kitty!" Lo and behold, another head popped up, that of a young racoon she had been getting acquainted with!
Another time we heard a noise in the garage. Husband went out to investigate with a flashlight and baseball bat. Not finding anyone, he went closer to the trash can, which was vibrating slightly. Tapping it on the side with a bat roused a racoon that climbed out and slunk off...and then another...and another...In all there were six racoons in that trash can! It was like watching clowns climb out of a VW!

David, please be careful around the raccoons. I'd hate for you to get scratched or bitten. Yours are certainly not camera shy!
I know firsthand that you definitely do not want raccoons to gain entry to your house. Several years ago we had some in the space between the roof and the ceiling at our house in Michigan. We realized they were there when we heard acorns rolling across what would be the other side of the ceiling in our bedroom. We ended up calling an exterminator to get rid of them.
Oh, and here's a happier photo of Ember:

FRLee, I thought your story was going to end like this one LOL:

Haha!! Great commercial!
Oh, and thanks for the happy photo of Ember...really made my morning!
great stories, both of them. LOL about the clown car trash can.

Novak Djokovic backs anti-vaccination recommendations for infants

The World Health Organization issued new recommendations on Monday for the delivery of vaccines to infants in some developing countries. The most eye-catching new recommendation involves the reinstitution of an Australian anti-vaccination movement that pulled the country’s popular child vaccination campaign in 2016.
Tennis star and four-time grand slam winner Novak Djokovic’s father is optimistic that the Australian National Park vaccination campaign will resume despite the new WHO recommendations.
“It is usually good to have two doses of vaccines as children would have more side effects from one. We believe that vaccination is good for the future and the health of the country,” Djokovic told CNN Sport.

Djokovic is referring to the Australian National Park and Australian Federal Parks, which were banned by authorities from vaccinating unvaccinated children aged 2-14. The CDC previously told Australian authorities that the decision was discriminatory.
The new WHO report from 2014, called a biological guide, recommends mothers take their babies to a health clinic to have their vaccinations paid for by the state and conducted in a single, instead of two, doses.
In Australia, where a measles outbreak is currently underway, Australia’s head of communicable diseases said in a statement on Monday that he had discussed the potential measles outbreak with the government.
“The guidelines for vaccination for kids are already very comprehensive and include vaccination along with the measles vaccine which is effective in the first few months of life, as well as the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine which is available during four-year-old.”
An absence of hospital care
Critics of vaccinations cite a long list of health concerns about vaccines, and, in 2015, the Australian National Park program was dubbed “the last bastion of anti-vaccination.”
“I think it is discriminatory,” said Peter Rahling, former vice president of the Australian Vaccination Network, in a 2015 report. “Governments who legislate for abortion … rightly get into trouble.”
But Djokovic is not concerned about his son being exposed to new risks. “He has gone on only a couple of walks, so he is almost never in Australia. He also has never gone on a plane or on the train. I believe that vaccinations are for the long term health of the country and I also want him to continue to grow up with a great health environment.”
Dr. Firas Abayad, a GP who treats infants at Channel 4’s Baby Unit in London, agreed with the Djokovic’s assessment of the facts of vaccinations.
“Even with a vaccine such as the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) that has now been removed as the ‘banned’ jab, it only protects against the one form of virus, and there’s no proof that it does anything to prevent the other forms of virus (such as) whooping cough,” said Abayad.
Despite international outcry from parents and politicians, MMR is still being pulled out from parents’ hands in Australia, as the program is affected by the 2015 WHO guidelines.
Djokovic believes it could be that success of research is the main reason why the program was delayed. “Years ago, when we were a new country, we needed to find out as to what the most important virus in the world is, and it is … the cause of an evil disease that kills children.”
The WHO statement on their updated biological guide is limited in specific advice: “The right mix of vaccines is needed to achieve optimal vaccination coverage and to achieve the health goal of universal health coverage. Access to universal health coverage is a prerequisite for achieving the health goals of the global action plan.”
But in an exclusive interview with CNN Newsroom, WHO’s director of general Dr. Margaret Chan said that “for some countries that only have HIV/AIDS to fight, immunization may not be a priority.”
“Infant death has a direct link to late access to care, especially in the developing world. Some health systems just do not have the capacity to provide follow-up care,” added Chan.

PR, Social & Media Measurement: Opportunities and Challenges
2014 was a big year for Cision, a “media intelligence” provider. First the company merged with Vocus, a public relations software company, in June. (Vocus had acquired press release distribution service PRWeb in 2006 and e-mail and social media marketing provider iContact in 2012.) Then in November, Cision bought Visible Technologies, a social intelligence vendor. And in March, Cision closed the acquisition of a UK media intelligence provider, Gorkana, although interestingly, the deal has led to Cision’s divestment of its Cision UK and Vocus UK business units.
To me, this mergers & acquisitions trail makes sense. The combined companies offers publication, marketing, and measurement tools, across social, online, and e-mail channels. In a multi-channel world, a role in disseminating content and ability to track consumption are assets. Do both, and you can do each better.
I’m keenly interested in PR and media measurement and in social intelligence as well. Yet measurement standards, for instance those put out by the Public Relations Society of America, which in the sentiment analysis realm seem to focus on keywords and positive/negative/neutral valence, have been hard pressed to keep up with actual uses enabled by rapidly advancing technologies. Talking to actual practitioners — for instance, Cision Information Specialist Ann Feeney — is a great way to understand what’s possible, what’s practical, and what’s in store in the measurement realm.
Ann will be speaking at the up-coming Sentiment Analysis Symposium, on “Emotional Spectrum, Intensity, and Action Indicators,” that is, predictive sentiment analysis that goes beyond positive/negative polarity. Ann graciously agreed to participate in an interview, to discover her views on —
Ann Feeney of Cision
Seth Grimes> What synergies are there common to PR, social, and media measurement — related to measurement standards, analysis techniques, and business use cases?
Ann Feeney> The lines between PR, social media, and other media measurement are blurring, which makes sense since ultimately, they’re all about whether messages were successfully communicated to the intended audience. We’re also seeing more blurring between marketing and PR measurement, since while marketing success is measured in how many people purchased a product or service, it’s the total perceptions that drive the decision to purchase. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a great example of how marketing and PR tie together and how you need both sides of the picture to understand the audience’s perceptions. For example, you’d want to measure how a company is perceived as a good steward of the environment or as responsive to human rights, and then to measure how much that affects the company’s financial success.
Seth> Are PR, social, and media measurement at a do-it-yourself point, or are the functions so specialized that most brands will continue to rely on agencies for assistance?
Ann> That depends on the client, their resources, their goals, and their needs. (I’m a professional researcher, of course most of my answers are going to be “it depends!”)
Many individual functions can be do-it-yourself on a small scale. For example, you can easily track who retweeted a particular message. But understanding patterns over time, how different audiences across different media responded, and comparing that to other messages that you’ve tweeted isn’t an easy do-it-yourself. Tools for analysis and measurement are only going to get better and more sophisticated, and at least in the near future, more complicated to run and to support.
Do you find that clients typically have a good understanding of what’s possible technically, and how to find the best technical approach for their business needs?
We have clients on every range of the spectrum of understanding what’s feasible and what’s going to be the strongest fit for their needs. Some are leaders in the measurement world while others are just getting started.
Your SAS15 talk is titled “Sentiment analysis by emotional spectrum, intensity, and action indicators.” From your point of view as a researcher, how do sentiment ratings restricted to a positive/negative range fall short?
There are several reasons:
Even knowledgeable humans can disagree on the sentiment of a statement or group of statements. Depending on the scales they’re using, 85 percent agreement is about as good as it gets. A metric that has 15 percent variance at best isn’t a good stand-alone tool.
There’s not always a reliable correlation between sentiment and business metrics. For example, you’d think that movie sales and social media sentiment about that movie would correlate very closely, but across several studies, the correlation isn’t consistent.
Studies also show that different kinds of emotions have different kinds of effects. Anger, for example, is more contagious than many other emotions, according to various research studies. So if you’ve got an issue that’s making people angry, that’s going to spread more than something that makes them sad, both in terms of content and the spread of the emotion, even though they’re both negative sentiments.
But most importantly, by itself, positive and negative sentiment doesn’t inform action. Practical research has to answer the question, “So what?” and sentiment analysis as a standalone doesn’t answer that question.
What do you mean by “action indicators”?
Action indicators show what people are saying that they’ll do in response to something or what they want an organization or person to do.
How do you identify likely actions in text sources?
If you’re examining a specific topic, such as the Charleston church shootings, you use your knowledge of the event to look for specific concepts. For example, mentions of the Confederate flag or gun control are very likely to be associated with action indicators. You can also look for verbs such as should, ought to, or must, if you’re looking for overall analysis or to find less obvious indicators. You can also look for future-focused verbs such as might, would, could, or will, to measure possible future actions.
Can you provide a quick example or two of success stories, organizations that realized positive ROI through text and social analytics?
The 2012 Obama campaign used some of our tools to track issues in the swing states and understand which messages resonated most with voters in those states. They combined demographics with the social media to identify persuadable potential voters.
A pharmaceutical company analyzed what people who want to quit smoking are saying online. These smokers felt that nobody was acknowledging that quitting is hard and that they needed support and understanding. The company focused its messaging on those aspects and got a definite increase in sales.
On the flip side, what are the most significant unmet challenges related to PR, social, and media measurement?
From a purely technical aspect, integrating multiple languages is a challenge. Many Asian languages don’t use white spaces to delineate words, for example, so that requires a whole new approach to tokenizing languages for machine analysis, for systems that are based on languages that use white spaces. Metaphors are notoriously difficult for machine translation. Aside from languages, the growth and decline of new media platforms create technical challenges as well.
From the purely analytical perspective, there are so many variables in how opinions are created and how people act on those. We can’t easily divide audiences into control and subject groups. Of course, these issues are common to all the social sciences, so at least we’ve got company. There’s also the lag factor for correlations, especially because we can’t measure how many or which total messages an audience is exposed to, but that issue is much more solvable as we get better tools for exploring data.
What advice do you have for organizations that want to ramp-up or expand their measurement efforts? Should they focus on new information sources, on refining their analyses, on better understanding the profiles of social posters, or something else?
The single piece of advice I’d give is actually from the nonprofit evaluation field. Develop your logic model of the change you want to create. If you aren’t measuring the right thing, then you can do the most sophisticated analyses from the cleanest and most complete data in the world, and it still won’t be the best answer for you.
Thank you Ann!
Meet Ann at the 2015 Sentiment Analysis Symposium, July 15-16 in New York. If you’re particularly interested in PR, social, and media measurement, you will want to attend Stephen Rappaport’s workshop on Social Media Metrics and Measurement and presentations that include A Comprehensive Research Approach to Customer Understanding by Anjali Lai, Forrester Research. These are clearly interesting times for in social and online media, for those of us interested in sentiment and the spectrum of social signals.

EuroMillions – The Best Way To Win Really Big
I am not sure what the reasoning was behind the introduction of EuroMillions, the first pan-European lottery, but I have a strong suspicion that it had a lot to do with the amount of money you can win in American lotteries of different kinds. Namely, the larger the number of people that are involved in the lottery, the larger the winnings. And as we all know, larger winnings attract more people and make bigger profits for the companies and national lotteries that organize them.
It is therefore no surprise that the concept of Euro Lottery took shape and it is actually a wonder that this hadn’t happened before. Namely, in 2004, the Camelot Group which organizes the lottery here in the UK got in a deal with the national lotteries of France and Spain and they decided to found something called EuroMillions, something that has been the most attractive prospect for lottery players in the UK for years. The main reason why this is the most attractive prospect for lottery players is that jackpots are simply staggering, especially when you compare them to the jackpots in each individual country.
It all became even more attractive when other countries got involved with their national lotteries. Namely, within a year, several more national lotteries from Europe joined EuroMillions and these were Swiss, Portuguese, Luxembourg, Irish, Belgian and Austrian lotteries. This has lead to even greater jackpots which is the result of more people being involved and buying the tickets.

Over the years, EuroMillions paid some serious jackpots, mostly due to the fact that for the first few years, there was no limitation on the rollovers, which meant that each time the jackpot was not won by anyone, the money rolled over to the next draw. For instance, in 2005, the first winner was announced, an Irish ticket which won more than £77 million which was the biggest prize until the 2009 and the £110 million jackpot that went to a lucky winner in Spain. This was the result of a six-time rollover that lead to such a humongous sum judi online.
When it comes to how the revenue is broken down, at least for the United Kingdom, we get the following numbers. Half a percent is the profit that goes to the Camelot group while 4.5% goes to cover the operating costs. 5% belongs to the retailers in commission. 12% of the money earned foes to the government in Lottery Duty while 28% goes for Good Causes. The remaining 50% of the revenue goes into winnings and that is where the money you can win comes from.
If this sounds interesting to you and you are not the resident of the countries I have listed, you should not despair as there are ways, mostly online, that allow you to participate in the EuroMillions draws with the chance to win big even if you are not the resident of the listed countries.

Ferryhill, County Durham
Ferryhill on Wikipedia.
All Saints (R.C.) on Dean Road, as seen by the Streetview van in 2009. Another Streetview. NZ 2881 3219. Link.
A short-lived Apostolic Church is shown on old maps in Ferryhill Station, at NZ 3022 3203. Built some time after 1920 and before 1939, it had gone by 1961. In this 2009 Streetview, it stood further up the lane on the left hand side.
An Assembly of God Pentecostal Church stands or once stood on North Street, at NZ 2892 3291. The building may survive - see the white building gable-end on to, and set back from, the street in the background of this 2018 Streetview.
The former Baptist Church on St. Cuthbert's Terrace, Dean Bank. NZ 2850 3265. It was still active when the Streetview van passed in 2010, but by 2016 had closed, and was in use as The Enter Centre.
The site (the area of grass bounded by the low fence) of the Independent Methodist Chapel, as seen by the Streetview van in 2009. It was built before 1920, a little way south of Watt Street in Dean Bank, on what seems to have been an un-named side street, and it appears to have survived into the 1990's. A photo of part of the church, with the church sign board, is available here. NZ 2828 3265.
Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, which dates from the 1970's or early 1980's. NZ 2967 3212.
A Mortuary Chapel stands in Duncombe Cemetery off Cleves Avenue, at NZ 3015 3228. Although the chapel itself can't be seen on Streetview, the entrance to the cemetery was seen in 2009.
The former Broom Primitive Methodist Chapel stands at the eastern end of Dean Road, at NZ 2936 3224. Converted to residential use, it can be seen in this 2016 Streetview. Durham Record Office references registers for the chapel from 1938 to 1986 - see here.
The Methodist Church in the Market Place was originally Primitive Methodist. NZ 2886 3285. A 2010 Streetview. The church website dates its opening to 1910. This must refer to the present building, as a map of 1897 shows a Meth. Chap. (Prim.) on the same site.
St. Cuthbert (presumably CoE) stood on St. Cuthbert's Terrace, Dean Bank. Built before 1920, it doesn't seem to have survived beyond the 1960's. Now just a patch of grass, the site can be seen in this 2010 Streetview. NZ 2829 3259.
St. Luke on Church Lane, as seen by the Streetview van in 2016. Another Streetview from 2009. Its grade II listing dates it to 1853, when it was successor to a church of 1820 in the market place. Link.
The former St. Mary's and St. Martha's Chapel stands almost opposite the Kingdom Hall (above), and is now used by a firm of undertakers. It was also known as St. Martha's and St. Mary's. Old maps imply that it was built between 1920 and 1939, a map of the later date labelling it as Mission Room. Janet Gimber (who provided the identification) advises that the chapel seems to have closed in the mid-1990's. NZ 2973 3215. Both © Bill Henderson.
At one time a Salvation Army Barracks/Hall stood at the east end of Newton Street, Dean Bank. Still active circa 1965, two photos of S.A. people can be seen here (one outside, one inside), in the Dean Bank section. At the time of the Streetview van image (2009) it was a patch of grass. NZ 2849 3274.
A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stood on Kelvin Street, Dean Bank, at NZ 2819 3257. Known as Westcott Methodist Church in 1940, the site has been put down to grass, as seen here by Streetview in 2009.
The former Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel stands on Siemans Street and Rennie Street in Dean Bank. The Streetview van saw it in 2010. Built by 1920, it was still labelled as Ch. on a map of 1980, and by 1989 was labelled as Hall.

Church Experience #18 – May 8, 2011
Living Faith Church, Hixson TN
It’s Gotta Be The Clues
For the fourth time this year I was left alone on a Sunday, deserted by my wife (to be with a friend who was recovering from surgery in Atlanta), and left to venture out to a church service all by myself. So far my solo church visits have been interesting…a gospel-fest at New Philadelphia Missionary Baptist with two of the kindest and most talented women I’ve ever met, my sister’s crazy California New Year’s Eve wedding, and a fly-under-the-radar Sunday at First-Centenary United Methodist. This week’s visit was to Living Faith Church in Hixson, a church I knew very little about except for what I had read on their website on Saturday night before the next morning’s church service. I had been told about the church by a friend, who had never attended there either, but had somehow heard about it through word of mouth. I don’t even really remember what it was that my friend said about the church, but what was important to me was that it was mentioned at all. This stood out to me because I drive by this church a lot and had thought about attending there (or at least researching it), but for some reason I had written it off, maybe assuming that it was a Church of God, and since I had already been to a church in that denomination (Joyful Sound COG), I was more interested in attending other denominations first. But I’m always listening for “clues” as to where God is leading me next, and anytime a few clues point to the same place, I take that to mean I should go there…so here I am.
Human Contact
I pulled up to the cream-colored church building and parked, enjoying the warm sunshine as I walked around the corner and up to the entrance. There were smiling faces in the parking lot, and as I headed inside, I noticed that pretty much everyone I saw seemed to have a bubbly countenance about them. The inside of the building appeared to be either newly remodeled or very well kept, and like the outside of the building it was very clean and simple, lacking the grandeur of the more extravagant churches, but instead communicating the message that fancy is not necessary to worship and serve God. I exchanged some smiles and greetings as I headed down the hallway, and upon entering the sanctuary was immediately approached by two men, Duane and Gary, who welcomed me and asked if I was a visitor. I told them that it was my first time attending their church and they handed me a visitor’s card, encouraging me to fill it out and drop it in the bucket during the collection of tithes and offerings. I took a seat and scanned the room, noticing a very balanced mix of young, middle-aged, and elderly people. There were various greeters stationed around the room, I assume to make sure nobody would be overlooked, and even though Duane and Gary had done a fine job welcoming and engaging me in conversation, a gentleman named Claude also came around to do the same. I’ve seen several techniques for greeters at all the churches I’ve attended…parking lot greeters, door greeters at the church entrances, bulletin passer-outers at the sanctuary entrances, inside-the-sanctuary floaters, and more, but I think the main point here is that this is an important position and service provided by the church. Why would you not want to have a greeter program at your church? It gives church members a way to serve, it makes visitors feel welcome, and it encourages (or forces) human-to-human interaction (which surprisingly doesn’t always happen if it is not specifically made to be a priority). If your church does not have a greeter program, or has a very limited one…why not volunteer to coordinate the effort yourself? I guarantee that you will increase the ratio of smiles per person, and you could potentially win repeat attendance from visitors who actually felt welcome and want to come back for more…not to mention it’s really easy!
Give Honor Where Honor Is Due
The sanctuary was spacious, with rows of individual cushioned chairs rather than traditional pews, and a large stage lined with all the instruments you would expect from a contemporary worship service…keyboard, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, and drums, plus a trumpet which added a unique element to the worship music. We sang two songs (taking a total of about 15 minutes), with the main chorus sections being repeated numerous times, building with emphasis each time through. I enjoyed the worship experience and felt free to lose myself in the moment, lifting my hands, clapping, and swaying around to the different segments, seeking a truly focused and connected worship time with God. At the close of the second song, pastor Michael Lindon led the congregation in a prayer, and then transitioned into some announcements. He asked all first-time visitors to raise their hands, and then welcomed them to Living Faith Church as “honored guests” (which really made a strong impression on me). Pastor Michael also recognized the recent high school and college graduates, as well as all the mothers (it was Mother’s Day), and asked for applause from the congregation, encouraging them to “give honor where honor is due”. How often do you think we, as Christians, miss the opportunity to make someone feel special by honoring them in front of others? Jesus taught us to not seek or expect the place of honor, because then you may be embarrassed when others are honored above you and you are “bumped down” a notch, but how awesome is it to see someone receive honor and recognition when they totally did not expect it. What a great chance for us to share God’s love with the people who quietly serve and expect nothing in return.
Not a Lovey-Dovey Mother’s Day Message
Pastor Michael, who is young, clean cut (military style), and energetic, began his sermon by stating that it was part six of the current series with the objective to “Scripturally introduce the child of God to who they are in Christ” (which he repeated three times). Despite oozing with positivity and somehow never losing an enormous smile, pastor Michael methodically proceeded point by point through Luke chapter 15 using Scripture cross-references and real life illustrations (parables) to teach about being made righteous through Christ. The sanctuary became like a classroom, as pastor Michael taught masterfully from the Spirit, speaking calmly and plainly, making sure not to leave anyone behind by moving too fast or by trying to cram in too many points or too much information. I was impressed not only by the excellent teaching, but by what this service wasn’t…it wasn’t a pep rally, it wasn’t a manipulation of emotion, it wasn’t a stage production, it was just plain and simple teaching of the Word like a shepherd feeding the flock to sustain growth and life. He made references to baseball, BBQ sauce, shoes, and a speeding ticket he had received that very morning (you’ll have to ask him about all that), to effectively engage and relate to the congregation as one of them, not as someone who wished to exalt or lord himself over everyone else. He closed the sermon by encouraging the people to be aware of who we are in Christ, because without this awareness we lose the authority, tools, and resources we have available to us to go about God’s business in this world. Yet, if we are aware of who we are in Christ, we have all of heaven backing us. We are ambassadors going out into a foreign land by the authority of the King of heaven, with the Great Commission of inviting those who do not know our King to accept His gift of salvation and join us as heirs to His Kingdom. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
On the way out of church, I met the Associate and Youth Pastor, Allen Lindon (pastor Michael’s older brother), and we scheduled a lunch meeting for Thursday of that week. We met up and talked about the beginnings of Living Faith Fellowship, their growth, their move from the original location to the current building, and their ongoing goal throughout their existence, which is to get out into the community and reach the unreached. Like his brother, Allen is clean-cut, positive, constantly smiling, and passionate about serving God. We talked about the ChurchSurfer blog, and he was visibly excited to get detailed feedback about what my experience was like at Living Faith Church. He asked questions about their church as well as experiences I’d had at other churches, obviously looking for anything I could offer that may help them improve or make changes. How refreshing is it to know that the pastors of this church value that type of feedback and upon learning that I had been to so many churches, earnestly sought any information that they might use to help them make a difference in their church. I’m sure many churches don’t care, or worse yet, think they don’t need it. Once again, God sent me to the right place at the right time, and I was blessed by Him through Living Faith Church and the Lindon brothers. They have a heart and desire to serve the Lord and I have a feeling they will be a big part of the coming revival in Chattanooga that many (including myself) are feeling. May His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
P.S. Sorry for the lack of pictures this week…taking photos is something I’m obviously not good at without my wife around 🙂

Tyner Middle Academy
I searched online and found a local Vineyard church that holds services at Tyner Middle Academy, so my wife Laura and I decided to check it out. As we pulled up to the school there were several parking lot attendants who enthusiastically directed us to a parking spot and then came up to greet us as we walked up to the building. Once we got up to the entrance we were greeted at the door, and again just inside the door, and then again on our way down the hallway toward the cafeteria, which served as the worship area. In fact, it was much like proceeding through a series of greeter checkpoints, where each person was attempting to be increasingly friendlier than the previous greeter (although I think Susan at the front door probably couldn’t be outdone). I definitely felt welcome and had plenty of opportunities to shake hands and meet people on the way in. Once inside the worship area, we were quite ecstatic when we laid eyes on the table stacked full of Krispy Kreme boxes, so we grabbed a chocolate glazed donut and cup of coffee and headed over to the information table to meet some Vineyard people. The information table was at the back of the room, and as we approached the two twenty-somethings standing behind it lit up big smiles and greeted us. Tyler and Rachel were extremely friendly and as we chatted for a few minutes, they continued handing us free stuff, including the book “Not the Religious Type” by Dave Schmelzer, and a CD of worship music from their church. I thought the free book was a pretty cool gesture, and the young couple came across as very genuine during our conversation. The real win was when Rachel said they were having a pot luck lunch after the service and that we were welcome to stay even though we hadn’t brought anything. Free food…sweet!
Vineyard Chattanooga worship
The cafeteria was quite successfully transformed into a worship area by the strategic use of black pipe and drape extending out from the sides of the stage. The seating was provided in the form of fold out chairs, and there was plenty of space. As the worship music began, I noticed that Tyler from the information table was also the bass player in the worship band, and they launched into some Jars of Clay-ish modern worship music (which I expected after reading the “about us” page on their website). There were various people who lifted hands as they sang and swayed to the music, but other than one particularly spunky elderly man directly in front of us (who despite having oxygen tubes was definitely the most lively worshiper), the atmosphere was more reserved and laid back than the Vineyard I had been to years earlier. During the worship I retreated to the back of the room to snap a few photos (not dance), and was approached by a tall young man with crazy hair and a big bushy black beard, who I think was curious to find out what I was doing. I mentioned that I just wanted to take a couple of pictures, and he seemed OK with that and moved along. After the worship ended the Associate Pastor, Josh Gott, came up to begin the sermon…he was the big bushy black beard guy. I never would have guessed he was a pastor. In all the churches I’ve attended over the years, I have to say this is probably the first where I’ve seen a pastor who didn’t look like a pastor…if you know what I mean. In those early dancing days of my Christian life, I also had a big bushy beard, and it was amazing how differently people treated me back then. It was like I wasn’t taken seriously because of the way I looked, so I was glad to see a church where someone who didn’t look the part was still accepted in a pastoral role.
Recurring Topics
Vineyard sign
Pastor Josh began his sermon with a reference to Jesus’ sermon on the mount, introducing it as a point where Jesus was directing His people away from “religion”, and toward a spiritual relationship with God. The topic of the sermon was to be something that I am now identifying as a recurring theme among many of my church visits this year…money. Pastor Josh pointed out that money changes relationships when it comes into the picture, including our spiritual relationship with God. After catching me off guard by telling a “crap” joke from the pulpit (he was quite unorthodox with his preaching…in a good way), he referenced Matthew 6:19-21, which establishes the truth that where your treasure is, your heart will be also. Whether you realize it or not, your actions tell the true story of where your heart is no matter what your mouth may say. Money, or treasure, is God’s biggest competition for your heart. Have you ever bought a brand new car and then gotten a door ding or maybe even worse shortly thereafter? How did that feel to you? Have you ever purchased stock in a company that you had never been interested in, but then all of a sudden you cared and kept up with the company religiously because you were invested in it? Where your treasure is, your heart will be also. Think about that and read Matthew 6:22-24. If your heart is in your possessions, then your focus becomes your possessions, and sooner or later your possessions become obsessions. Now think about the opposite side of the coin. What if you are generous with your treasure…a cheerful giver, as God calls us to be? Does money become like a bridle for horseback riding…a tool for steering your heart? If you are looking for a closer walk with God, how about investing in others rather than yourself. Don’t you think your heart will then be focused on loving and serving others? Where you treasure is, your heart will be also! Act your way into thinking differently. Don’t wait on feeling like you have gotten to a certain place in your spiritual walk with God before you begin serving others, because then it will never happen. Do first…the feeling will follow. Thank you pastor Josh for an excellent sermon on a subject that is popping up all over Chattanooga. Most people go to the same church every week and don’t have the perspective that I am gaining on recurring topics that are being preached all over our city right now. Don’t you think that is God speaking to us?
Pot Luck-y
After the sermon, Laura and I helped fold up and hang all the chairs and transform the church worship area back into a lunchroom. We were then led in prayer for the pot luck lunch we were about to partake in, and as we moved through the food line, we were amazed at all of the deliciousness that had been prepared by all the various church members. Even though the people of Vineyard claimed to not do the pot luck thing very often, they brought it out like pro’s. There was nothing lacking, and I was thankful that God had led me to Vineyard on this particular day to partake in this feast with such a welcoming congregation. I sat and ate with Jeff Anderle, the head pastor of Vineyard, who explained that they chose to meet in a school because they like the fact that their rent money goes into the school system and they also feel that it is the best way to connect to and serve the community. Their members have painted the inside the school and raised money to support various programs that otherwise would have been lost due to budget cuts. Pastor Jeff and a few other people also listened with interest as I talked about the ChurchSurfer blog and some of the goals that God has laid on my heart to work on for the city of Chattanooga. One of those goals that I’m currently working on is a website that will serve as a one-stop resource for people to search for and find a home church, opportunities to serve the community, and ways to connect to other ministries and organizations that need support. My opinion is that if there is a better tool for getting connected to churches and service opportunities, that there will be more attendance in church and more people serving the community. We just need to remove all the obstacles and make it simple and free for all churches and ministries around Chattanooga to be able to reach out through the internet.
If you would like to get involved in the project to provide a community website by either donating money or volunteering your web development skills, please contact me immediately at josh@churchsurfer.com. ChurchSurfer is being established under New Decree, a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry directed by my dad, Mark Davis, who also currently hosts a call-in prayer request radio show called The Healing Touch.

Glad to see you enjoyed Vineyard Chattanooga. My wife and I went there for four years before moving to the Twin Cities (where we now attend Mercy Vineyard). Vineyard Chattanooga is incredibly rich in worship, teaching, and love. It was there that I first got excited about being more involved with the church and neighborhood communities.

Town meeting addresses flu outbreak preparations
By CNJ Staff
What: Two town hall meetings are being hosted this week to help residents prepare for the slim possibility of a pandemic flu outbreak.
Why: The meetings are part of a national campaign to raise awareness and educate people on preparedness, according to Ken De Los Santos, director of the Clovis/Curry County Emergency Management Office.
Health officials with the Center for Disease Control are predicting in coming years a flu strain will affect world populations on potentially catastrophic levels, De Los Santos said.
“We want citizens to be aware. We’re not saying the sky is falling — we’re saying the sky could fall, so be prepared,” he said.
When: 6-7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the Clovis-Carver Public Library, North Annex.
Sources: A panel of officials from a variety of agencies will be on hand to give presentations and answer questions from the public.
Background: From 1918 to 1919, the Spanish flu claimed the lives of 500, 000 U.S. citizens and killed between 20 and 50 million worldwide, De Los Santos said.
Officials estimate the next pandemic flu will infect up to 200 million people worldwide and claim the lives of 88,000 to 300,000, De Los Santos said.
The age group most likely to be affected will be young adults, “The ones that you would not think it will hit, it’s going to hit the hardest,” he said.

Phase and Gain Margins by Nyquist Plot for 3 Real Poles
This applet shows the Nyquist plot(red) step response(green) and phase and gain margins(cyan, pink) of a 3 real poles system.
The gain margin is the difference between the gain and 0dB at the frequency where the phase is -180°. The phase margin is the difference between the phase and -180° at the frequency where the gain is 0dB.
The examples below illustrate the relation between the phase and gain margins and the transient response.
eg parameters (8.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.73) shows the gain and phase margins to be ~0(within the resolution of the applet). The system is oscillatory with an angular frequency of 1.73.
The case (9.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 3.0, 1.8) show an unstable case with -ve gain and phase margins.
Parameters (7.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 3.0, 1.66) show a case with +ve gain and phase margins.
(3.3, 0.34, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 3.0, 1.6), phase margin ~45°, gain margin ~10dB.
(5.8, 0.24, 8.2, 6.4, 1.0, 7.0, 0.32), phase margin ~45°, gain margin ~20dB.
(10.0, 0.2, 0.2, 5.6, 1.0, 1.0, 1.62), phase margin ~60°, gain margin ~15dB.

Monitoring the Risk and Business Impact of AI-Based Solutions
AI-based solutions can shape how financial services businesses make money, whether the business model is the same or not. For an existing financial services business, the motivations may vary and range from efficiency to expanding the business. There would be project risk as with any development, but leaving that important consideration aside, it is worth bearing in mind that AI-based solutions would also impact the risk profile of the business. This may or may not be the original intention, but it becomes more likely. The key implication is that implementing an AI-based solution would require a radically different risk oversight approach by the business.
Standard computer algorithms which are not AI-based can—and do—solve complex problems. The main feature of such algorithms is that the problem is somehow defined and an algorithm developed to solve it which will produce the same answer as long as the same inputs are provided. So a credit-scoring mechanism calibrated to capture a certain type of client gives you just that.
The answers offered by an AI-based system may change over time. New data is used to reassess the underlying relationships and recalibrate the relationship between the target variable and the potential explanatory variables. This “learning” can also happen in a standard programme when there is a process of recalibration. The difference is that in the case of AI, learning would happen on a real-time basis—that’s the essence of AI.
Alternatively, with AI a target variable may not have been defined. That’s not as unusual as it might sound. For example, algorithms assessing a loan or credit card underwriting may fall in this category because there is no single rule to predict a borrower’s likelihood of repayment. New data can lead to a certain recalibration or can be used to identify new relationships between certain data. For example, over time an AI-based system might identify that outstanding debt is a better predictor of the likelihood of borrower repayment than repayment history and penalise someone with a relatively good track record of timely repayments.
The first type of AI-based solution is called “supervised machine learning” and the second one “un-supervised machine learning”. The key difference is the extent of autonomy that goes with the learning.
Consider the potential impact on conduct risk of AI-based tools. One of the expectations from Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) with respect to product governance is that they are designed to meet the needs of identified consumer groups and are targeted accordingly. This requires a clear business strategy, including identification of the target market through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research and oversight of the business to ensure that it is aligned with initial expectations of customers and business generated. Take the example of automated investment services covered in a recent FCA review. These providers would rely on some type of AI-based solution, whether supervised or unsupervised machine learning. The possibility of capturing different customers or the advice generated being different from what was envisaged cannot be ruled out. The challenge is how to put in place a monitoring approach which ensures that outcomes and risks which arise are consistent with the expectations in the business plan.
Something similar can apply from the perspective of credit risk, impacting the quality of the portfolio and performance. Suppose you have been targeting retail customers with a specific risk rating for a credit card business. If you roll out an AI-based solution to enhance the efficiency of product underwriting, you would need to have in place mechanisms to ensure that the credit quality of the portfolio is consistent with your expectations—or else change those expectations. Both options are fine. You may want to keep your target credit rating constant and seek more volume, or perhaps you see AI-based solutions as a more robust tool to support decision making and, in a controlled manner, can relax your target rating. Regardless of your choice, you would need to put in place a credit risk monitoring approach that is suited to the new AI-based solutions, as well as ensure that the business understands the portfolio implications of “learning” that is at the core of an AI-based solution system.
The salient point to take away is that the roll-out plan of AI-based tools may focus on the launch. However, the greatest challenge may well be the need to provide for the ongoing and timely monitoring of the AI-based tools and their integration in business governance and risk management, which I will cover in the next post.

Traditional Sunday services are held in Culbokie Church Centre at 10:30 am. These Services are streamed live from the church each Sunday. The service can be viewed live at www.cruparish.online.church.
Cromarty West Church is presently closed. A "Cafe Church" style mission church meeting is led by Rev Carol Rattenbury at 11 am each Sunday. Usually held in the Old Brewery, Cromarty, but this can vary. Meetings for Sundays 25th Sept, 2nd, 9th and 16th Oct will be at the Old Brewery starting at 11 am.
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42
Just like the early church, we see our Sunday morning service of worship and praise as the primary vehicle for the transmission of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And because we’re a Protestant and Reformed Church, the proclamation of God’s word and Christ’s message of God’s mercy and grace are central to each and every Sunday service.
As a church, our worship combines both traditional and contemporary elements, yet is led by the Holy Spirit. Our desire is for people to experience the reality of God’s grace through a responsive-style liturgy, music, prayer, and the preaching of God’s word. Additionally, we proclaim the work of Christ through the celebration of the Sacrament of Communion on Easter Sunday and then in June and November. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11807 | {"url": "http://cromartychurch.org/index.asp?pageid=416525", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "cromartychurch.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:11:39Z", "digest": "sha1:LHANIOOP5VMNQ3KR2WQW7JKHPBNN2H33"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1363, 1363.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1363, 1748.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1363, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1363, 26.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1363, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1363, 196.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1363, 0.37234043]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1363, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1363, 0.02540835]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1363, 0.01270417]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1363, 0.0035461]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1363, 0.17021277]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1363, 0.55701754]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1363, 4.83333333]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1363, 4.46392618]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1363, 228.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 201, 1.0], [201, 503, 1.0], [503, 624, 0.0], [624, 958, 1.0], [958, 1363, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 201, 0.0], [201, 503, 0.0], [503, 624, 0.0], [624, 958, 0.0], [958, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 201, 30.0], [201, 503, 55.0], [503, 624, 20.0], [624, 958, 57.0], [958, 1363, 66.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 201, 0.02072539], [201, 503, 0.03436426], [503, 624, 0.02564103], [624, 958, 0.0], [958, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 201, 0.0], [201, 503, 0.0], [503, 624, 0.0], [624, 958, 0.0], [958, 1363, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 201, 0.04477612], [201, 503, 0.06622517], [503, 624, 0.01652893], [624, 958, 0.03892216], [958, 1363, 0.0345679]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1363, 0.02063346]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1363, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1363, 0.02354872]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1363, -77.49890267]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1363, -6.51804175]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1363, -54.55200598]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1363, 16.0]]} |
C-DSD: Curating the Dutch Song Database
The Dutch Song Database (Nederlandse Liederenbank in Dutch) contains more than 150,000 songs in the Dutch and Flemish language, from the Middle Ages through the twentieth century. It contains love songs, satirical songs, Beggar songs, psalms and other religious songs, folksongs, children's songs, St Nicholas and Christmas songs, and so on and so forth. The main sources for all these songs are songbooks, songsheets (broadsides), song manuscripts and fieldwork recordings. For every song the source is indicated where the text and/or the melody can be found. In some cases one can click directly to the complete text, or to the music, or to a recording.
The Dutch Song Database was compiled at the Meertens Institute in Amsterdam and is maintained and developed further by its Centre for Documentation and Research of Dutch Songs, in cooperation with several partners.
In the Dutch Song Database (DSD) four different datasets are integrated into a database in the field of Literary Studies. It contains (meta-)data on 140.000 songs and their 15.000 sources (songbooks, pamphlets, field recordings, etc.) from the Middle Ages to the present day. Built and rebuilt over a period of 25 years, consisting of four distinct datasets, this database was enlarged and enriched in many stages, with grants from (among others) NWO and OCW. The first online version of the DSD was published in 2007. The ratio behind the analysis of data and the production of metadata in the DSD is internationally renowned and perceived as exemplary.
The first version of the DSD was built in the late 1980’s for research purposes at the University of Utrecht (Phd thesis L.P. Grijp, 1991). It was called ‘Voetenbank’ (‘Feetbank’) because of the many stanza forms described in it. At the Meertens Institute it was rebuilt into a relational database in Filemaker Pro in 1996, renamed into DSD, and all kinds of metadatasets and data sources (audio, image, symbolic music notation) into the database were included in the years following. A webinterface (www.liederenbank.nl) using MySQL & PHP was built in 2007 and is used for online searching only - the Filemaker Pro db was maintained as the main entry tool. In C-DSD an extra layer of CMDI files was added, which were the basis for generating Dublin Core metadata.

Pjila'si – Spring 2008
The coltsfoot are flowering, the robins are returning, and the smelt are in the brooks!
Siwkw was a time when Mi’kmaq families gathered together their belongings and moved to the coast, relying on the resources of the lakes, rivers, and streams for their livelihood.
Besides the plentiful resources of the sea, summer camps were more visible, and could be easily found by family and friends travelling the shores.
And don’t forget that other benefit of the seaside breezes–keeping the black flies and mosquitoes at bay!
This is a special issue for The Marten. We have expanded our distribution to every family in the five Mi’kmaq communities of Unama’ki. We want as many people as possible to know about our natural resources and environment and how UINR is working on behalf of the people in Unama’ki.
As you will see in this issue, there is a lot of activity at UINR these days. Our staff is working hard to achieve Netukulimk for the Unama’ki community.
Netukulimk is achieving adequate standards of community nutrition and economic well-being without jeopardizing the integrity, diversity, or productivity of our environment. That’s our guiding principle at UINR and is behind everything we do.
I hope you enjoy this issue and if you have any comments, be sure to let us know.

Madeline Yakimchuk, of Gryphon Media Productions, directed this short, two and a half minute video that gives a quick overview of UINR, touching on some of our many projects and partnerships. The video is fast-paced and packed with photos and video from around Unama’ki. Narrated by Lisa Young and Charlie Dennis, the video gives a comprehensive view of UINR.
The video is directed in a fast-paced style, using Mi’kmaq words and phrases to highlight the video’s themes. Madeline notes that, “Modern media tools and techniques, when put to the service of the community, are perfectly capable of expressing our hearts and projecting our souls.”
The video shows scenes from the five Unama’ki communities and takes the viewer on a short tour of UINR, walking them through some of our initiatives, showing our staff, board, and partners.
“For me, a piece like this is organic, almost alive. It is professional, polished, but I hope its real strength is that it can be felt.”

November appointments
Well, I'm not really sure where to start tonight.
We had already pretty much decided that Orencia wasn't really working for Emily, however I wasn't expecting our doctor to suggest just dropping it and hoping for the best. Granted, we would be keeping the Rituxan, which she feels is actually helping a lot, but still... I mulled that over for a little while, and decided that with her recent daily thumb and toe pain, that is probably not a good idea. She has told me that they sometimes hurt so badly that she wants to rip them off. I totally love our rheumy's- ALL of them- and I think this was the first time the question seemed completely not aggressive.
The night went by uneventfully, with no visit from the doctors until just as I was about to go down the hall to take Zach to his appointment. Just as we were starting off, one of the other rheumies came over to see us. She asked me how I felt about dropping the Orencia, and I told her my fears about the thumbs and toes. She told me that she was not fond of the idea, enough to have mentioned it to the head of the department. This is part of the reason that I love our team- they actually communicate. I like our other option much better- instead of dropping Orencia, we will spread it out to every six weeks. She also asked when our last Prednisone decrease was. Ummm... long enough ago that I can't remember when. Well, permission to drop 1/2 of a milligram... granted! :) That had me over the moon! I was so excited! No, it isn't a huge drop, but it is huge to us!
So, I left our room extremely happy, expecting an easy appointment for Zach and then on to home. Not so much. While he looks great, our doc noticed that his toes were swollen. And they hurt. And his back has an arthritis spot. Which usually means Spondylitis in a person with Psoriatic Arthritis. So, yeah. Not thrilled. I was very glad that his appointment was today and not yesterday. I like thinking our appointments over on the way home. It's harder to think straight when they keep talking and giggling. It just hurts your heart to hear these things. This is not what you want for your kids. I had really hoped that Zach's would be easier to deal with because we caught it early. He responded so well to Enbrel at first. I really thought that this would easy. He's HLA-B17 positive- that is a psoriasis marker, and it often means a more mild form of arthritis, if I remember right. I thought we were clear. So far, it doesn't bother him too much, so it obviously isn't really bad right now. He has complained of his back once or twice. He complains of the feet often, and on Halloween it was the ankles. No changes in meds yet- we are to just keep an eye out and see what happens. We will go back in 3 months, but call if anything changes.
On a sweeter note, we were asked by one of the rheumies if we were going to be at the Jingle Bell Walk. :) We don't go to that event, only because it is so cold, but I thought it was cute that they were thinking about it, especially since our walk is so far away from the hospital. I really do love our doctors. But I would like to put them all out of business by finding a cure, please. Then we could all just hang out and talk medicine without actually having any medical crises ourselves. On the bright side, we don't have to go back for six weeks. Woot to that!
Oh, and we got a dog! We swore that we were NOT getting a puppy, and we were NOT getting a big dog. You know what they say about the best laid plans, right? We have a shepherd/ husky/ lab mix. He is three months old. We were both thinking that he was six months old, but no, he's three months. His name is Brody, but I swear I may change it to Bitey. He is definitely like a baby, and so cute! Assuming I can get his immunizations tomorrow, we should be good to start him in training classes tomorrow! I am so hoping. We need to get him to stop biting, and so far the tips that we have found on YouTube are not working. He is good with the younger kids; it's just me, Kevin and poor Ash. He especially loves to bite Ash! She'll be just sitting on the couch texting, and he comes up and starts biting her. Poor kid! PetSmart said that they can get him close to therapy dog in training. I can't wait to start! I'll keep ya'll posted!

General ESQ Information
ESQ History
ESQ Formed in Spring 2006 and have taken the Sheffield music scene by storm. Playing everything from classic jazz numbers to modern hits in a laid back style. The band comprises of Andy Booth on keyboards, Matt Whiteley on drums, Rob Straw on trumpet and the effervescent Eloise Short on vocals. ESQ recorded their 'September Sessions' CD in Autumn 2006 which sold over 800 copies and saw their BBC Radio 2 debut with the Desmond Carrington Show. It also took them to Keswick Jazz Festival 2008 where they received rave reviews and are due to return next year.
Interestingly, none of the band members came from a jazz background. Andy Booth hails from the world of Classical music, Matt Whiteley and Rob Straw are very well respected on the Brass band circuit, and Eloise came out of the Northern Club scene. This unexpected mix is undoubtedly responsible for their sound which has been described as "both quirky and melancholy, but mainly fun - a breath of fresh air".
Always looking to expand, ESQ recorded their 'September Sessions' CD in Autumn 2006 and their 'A Fistful of Jazz' CD in Summer 2008, demos of both CDs are available via the Sample Music link above.

Andrew J Booth l.r.s.m; c.t.a.b.r.s.m; is a musician from Chesterfield who is the founder and principal conductor for ‘For One Night Only Productions’, a professional orchestra and production company. When he is not working in this role, Andrew can be found playing with professional orchestras such as the English Philharmonic Orchestra, the British Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the Concert Orchestra of Europe. In his spare time Andrew composes various types of music including choral and organ works and also continues the family tradition as the Musical Director for the 'Carolare Choir’.
Eloise Short has been singing in live bands around Sheffield, the UK and the World for over eight years. At twenty seven she finds herself enjoying a more mellow type of music with a passion for jazz and swing. The range of musical ensembles Eloise sings with is currently expanding, having worked with different musicians such as the Robin Hoare Band, Pierro Tucci, Jez Matthews, The Take 2 Big Band of the Academy Theatre and also in ensembles ranging from Jazz Quartets through 10 piece Showbands to 18 piece Big Bands.
Rob Straw c.t.a.b.r.s.m. has played in the brass band movement for the best part of 30 years. Whilst doing this, in 1998 he became a member of the ‘New Orleans Strollers’, a trad. jazz outfit of some repute. This gave Rob a taste of a musical style totally different to that of brass bands and he actively pursued other avenues of this genre. It is within the last 12 months that he has helped form the ‘Take 2 Big Band’ playing piano and more recently ‘The Eloise Short Quartet’, playing a mix of trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet. He has been teaching brass for the last 6 years and is currently enjoying life as a pro musician.
Matt Whiteley t.h.e. b.e.s.t. was brought up in the world of orchestras and brass bands as a full orchestral percussionist although he has always had a passion for jazz drumming and big bands. After teaching percussion throughout school, college and university Matt decided that music should not be his main profession and joined a local IT company where he now enjoys life as a director. After being approached by the ‘Eloise Short Trio’, the lure of playing with pro musicians again enticed Matt back into gigging regularly. Matt currently plays with Big Bands, Jazz Quartets, Brass Bands and can also be found in the studio doing session work.

Join The Band
Junior Pipe Band
Home › About Us
In October of 2000 a proposal was presented to the area Police Chiefs recommending the formation of a Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band. The mission of this regional band would be to foster inter organizational camaraderie, enhance the profile of police within the community, and promote appreciation for pipe band music. The band would be a performance/duty band consisting of police members (retired and active) from the Greater Victoria municipal police departments and the RCMP; and complimented by civilian players and instructors. The proposal was approved and an executive was formed consisting of police officers and civilians from the Greater Victoria area.
One of the first functions of the executive was to find a pipe major with the skill and knowledge to form such a band. After an extensive search, the executive selected Mr. James Troy of Victoria as the band’s first pipe major. P/M Troy is a highly respected and experienced musician, having previously been the founding pipe major of the City of Victoria Pipe Band and, as such, has performed in a number of world championship pipe band competitions. In addition P/M Troy brought with him a group of experienced pipe and drum instructors, all former members of the City of Victoria Pipe Band.
Badge of The Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band
In recognition of the bands multi-jurisdictional nature, the band designed a Badge that reflects the regional theme. The badge’s basic design is that of the Canadian College of Heraldry standard for police badges as represented in the Cities of Vancouver and New Westminster’s new police badges, and the great seal of the Crown Colony of Vancouver Island. This seal was gazetted in 1849 for the colony and de-gazetted when Vancouver Island joined British Columbia in 1866. It now resides in the British Museum. The seal consists of the wand of Neptune, God of the Sea, Mercury’s wand of commerce, the pine cone representing Vancouver Island Forests, and the beaver for the Hudson Bay Company on an island set in the sea.
Tartan of The Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band
Instead of adopting an existing tartan the band decided to create its own history by designing a tartan of its own. The tartan’s blue and red is representative of the police organizations in the Greater Victoria area. The white stripe is significant in that it denotes Queen Victoria’s colonial police force. The colonial police predated any other police organization on Vancouver Island.

Why Florida’s New COVID-19 Vaccination Guidance Could Hurt Kids
March 10, 2022 TimeMagazine Off Health News
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo sparked controversy this week by recommending against COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children—contrary to the advice of health organizations and plenty of data that suggest the shots are safe and effective.
Florida “is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children,” Ladapo said at a roundtable on March 7.
Official guidance released the next day softened that stance somewhat, saying that “healthy children aged 5 to 17 may not benefit from receiving the currently available COVID-19 vaccine” due to their low risk of severe disease and the possibility of rare side effects. Parents of kids with underlying medical conditions should consult their pediatricians, the guidance says.
While the guidance does not prevent parents in Florida from vaccinating their children if they wish, some doctors fear it could have a chilling effect on a pediatric vaccine campaign that has already moved more slowly than experts had hoped.
“The Florida Surgeon General’s decision to recommend against COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children flies in the face of the best medical guidance and only serves to further sow distrust in vaccines that have proven to be the safest, most effective defense against severe COVID-19 disease, hospitalization, and death,” said Dr. Daniel McQuillen, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, in a statement.
Dr. Mobeen Rathore, past president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and associate chair of the University of Florida Health Jacksonville’s department of pediatrics, calls Ladapo’s remarks dangerous. “Any time people in power…make a statement, some people will believe that,” he says. “This could result in some children dying.”
He recommends that pediatricians in Florida and elsewhere encourage vaccination among all patients who are eligible. “All children should be vaccinated,” he says. “This is the only way we’re going to get out of this morass of the pandemic.”

Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s authorization of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for 5- to 11-year-old children last fall, the CDC recommended COVID-19 vaccination for everyone in the U.S. ages 5 and older, as did the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, just 26% of children ages 5 to 11 are now fully vaccinated. The vaccination rate for 12- to 17-year-old children is higher, at 58%, but that’s still well below the adult rate of 75%.
Reports from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), which has tracked attitudes toward vaccination throughout the pandemic, suggest that many parents fear side effects and unknown, hypothetical harms of COVID-19 vaccines, despite numerous studies that have found both the two-dose series and the boosters to be safe and effective. “The younger the age group, the more cautious [parents] are in terms of proceeding with vaccination,” says Liz Hamel, KFF’s vice president and director for public opinion and survey research.
In February, KFF asked U.S. parents if they felt they had enough information about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. Of parents with kids ages 12 to 17, 66% said they did, compared to 61% of parents with kids ages 5 to 11 and 43% of parents with kids younger than 5.
The hesitation is understandable among parents of very young children, given that vaccines have not yet been authorized for kids under 5 and the FDA recently delayed its review of Pfizer’s shot while waiting for more data. (Early indications suggest it is safe for young children, but there are outstanding questions about its efficacy.) Among older age groups, though, COVID-19 shots have proven safe “not only in research, but also in the real world,” Rathore says.
Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee, says that much of the reluctance among parents stems from the belief that children—especially those without preexisting medical conditions—do not need to be inoculated because they are very unlikely to get severely ill or die from COVID-19.
That rationale came up during the roundtable at which Ladapo recommended against COVID-19 vaccination for healthy kids. Ladapo also mentioned a recent preprint study from New York, which found that, during the Omicron wave, vaccine protection waned more quickly among 5- to 11-year-old children than it did among older kids—perhaps because of the smaller dose given to the younger age group.
However, a CDC report based on data from 10 states (and published shortly after the New York study) concluded that differences between age groups could be explained by timing. Omicron, which is extra-contagious and better at outsmarting vaccines than previous variants, emerged shortly after vaccines became available for 5- to 11-year-old kids. While both papers found that vaccines get worse at blocking infections over time, particularly against the highly transmissible Omicron variant, the CDC report estimated that they were between 73% and 94% effective at preventing COVID-19 hospitalization.
That benefit alone makes vaccination worthwhile, Offit says. It’s true that kids develop severe disease much less often than adults, but exceptions happen. More than 100,000 kids have been hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to CDC data, while others have developed complications including Long COVID and the inflammatory disorder MIS-C.
“When I was working in the hospital in the middle of December, we admitted 18 children that week,” Offit says. “Five of them went to the intensive care unit. If you can avoid that safely [through vaccination], then avoid it.”
Offit, however, doubts that Florida’s guidance will have a major effect on pediatric vaccination rates in the state or more broadly. It’s “a political statement” more than a public-health policy, he says, and most people have by now made up their minds about whether they plan to vaccinate their children. “I don’t know what people are waiting for, at this point,” he says.
But data show that at least some parents are still undecided. As of February, 10% of parents with 5- to 11-year-old kids said they were going to “wait and see” about vaccination, according to a recent KFF report. That suggests there is still some wiggle room—and anything that further confuses or concerns parents could sway them against vaccination, Rathore says.
One-on-one conversations with loved ones and trusted sources—which, for parents, often means their child’s pediatrician—can make the biggest difference in vaccine intentions, Hamel says. “One big question is, how do pediatricians interpret [Florida’s] advice and filter that to their patients?” she says.
On Twitter, several Florida pediatricians voiced support for vaccination. “As a Florida pediatrician I could not recommend the covid vaccine for eligible children more,” tweeted Dr. Chelsea Torres. “I am beyond myself as a pediatrician in Florida,” tweeted Dr. Lindsay Thompson. “This will have ripple effects on all vaccines and children will end up suffering and dying.”
Rathore says he hopes his colleagues ignore the guidance. “Anyone who cares for children, advocates for them, and stands for them,” he says, “would want them to get vaccinated and get protected.”

UoH to pause further return of students
Teaching to continue online
In view of the upsurge in Covid-19 cases in different parts of the country as well as the latest decision of the Government of Telangana to close all educational institutions in the State, the University of Hyderabad has decided to pause until further notice the return of terminal semester post-graduate students and all research scholars (except the 2020 batch) to the campus. Two weeks ago, the University’s Task Force had recommended the return of about 2000 terminal semester students if they wished to do so.
After a review meeting held by the Vice-Chancellor this morning with senior administrators and the Task Force, the University has announced that it was putting on hold all plans to start in-person or blended teaching classes until further orders. The academic units have been asked to continue all teaching online and conduct end-semester examinations also online.
There are about 1200 students, including research scholars and Master’s students, who are currently on the campus to complete their practical/laboratory/project/thesis work before they graduate in June. The departments and Schools that are in the process of completing the practical inputs have been advised to continue to do so by strictly following all Covid protocols. All students, faculty, and staff have been asked to strictly follow the health protocols already circulated by the Task Force. In the coming days, the University will conduct mock drills of the health emergency response system on campus and work with the School of Medical Sciences to institute a public health surveillance system as per WHO/ICMR protocols.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Appa Rao Podile said that he can understand the anxiety felt by students and their families caused by the current surge in cases and the TS government decision to close educational institutions. He added that those students who wished to go back home may feel free to do so and assured that the University would do everything possible to facilitate continuation of academic activities online. Prof. Appa Rao appealed to all the students who have chosen to stay in the hostels on campus to remain cautious in their interactions and prudent in their movements in and out of the campus. If students don’t exercise self-regulation in their own behaviour, and if the situation worsens, the University may be compelled to impose a stricter regulatory environment, he cautioned.

Business continuity is often overlooked until it’s too late. But with the cloud on their side, IT departments and business owners can more easily adopt this strategy to help avert the next outage. Here’s how the cloud benefits implementations of business continuity.
Better uptime
Backing up to an internal drive or an external hard drive won’t completely secure data. If someone steals your device, you instantly lose the backup it contains. Natural disasters, cybercrime, or man-made errors will also likely destroy your backups. As a result, your company could face expensive downtime.
With cloud-hosted backup, however, things are different. The entire purpose of a cloud backup is to make sure your data is available when you need it. Top cloud service providers will offer redundancy, which means they will make a backup of your backups. This increases uptime and ensures optimum levels of data availability.
Fast resource provisioning
When backups are being implemented, spikes in user activity or cloud environment accessibility can slow down a website or other running systems. This is where a cloud hosting provider comes in handy. By closely monitoring user activities, providers can see spikes either before or as they are happening. The provider will provision more resources and virtual machines to manage the influx of users. This type of flexibility is particularly useful when data backups are in process.
Backup frequency
Most companies work on files and update information throughout the day, so it’s important to have a real-time backup plan ready in case an unexpected disaster occurs. When you back up data in the cloud, you will no longer have to worry about managing the frequency of your backups.
Most cloud-hosted providers offer round-the-clock or other fixed backup frequencies, while others let you set your own backup schedule. Some of the services offered by these providers will back up files as you make changes, so you’ll know that the very latest version of files and data are always backed up.
Distributed infrastructure
Cloud-hosted backup means the delivery of data backup to users all over the world. Selecting the right type of cloud hosting partner is equally as important as having a cloud backup plan in the first place. If international users are trying to access database or download applications through your business website, latency will become a factor — the closer the user is to the data, the faster they’ll be able to access information.
A suitable cloud hosting partner will be able to provide backup servers at a location that best suits your company’s business continuity needs. Distributed infrastructure is beneficial if you’re looking to support a large number of worldwide users.
Businesses everywhere are utilizing cloud backup solutions, so don’t be the one left behind.

Nice ... painting.
Breathfull.
I wonder if it is a coincidence that you (**) are asking about a virus in context in June 2019 although the coronavirus called „Covid-19“, which is known as such only since 2020, was not even publicly known at all at that time.

Yes (**). I also ask myself that question all the time.
I fully agree with that (**).

Yes, Encode Decode (**) and Otto (**|**). Wernher von Braun, member of the NSDAP and SS and Mr. Rocket Man.

Comparable with the Marienburg (now: Marlbork Castle), a castle (Wasserburg) built in the typical architectural style of the German Order (a.k.a.: Teutonic Order). This castle belongs to Lithuania today:

There is something comedic about that (**).
I like the interviewer, because he tries to create a harmony by trying to appear serious in an almost comedic way and at the same time trying to appear comedic in an almost serious way. Well done.
As for the content of the questions and answers: Well, yes, it is all familiar. Only the last answer was probably not as expected and that is probably why it led to the exceptional situation, the laughter. Well done.
Is the interviewer a well-known comedian? No. Or?

How Much Does Air Weigh?
The most awe-inspiring thing about the London structure formerly known as the Millennium Dome isn't what you can see inside -- it's what you can't. According to engineers, the air trapped inside the monstrous dome-shaped building weighs approximately 2,866 tons (2,600 tonnes). The combined weight of the rest of the structure -- cables, fabric covering, and masts -- comes to approximately 2,425 tons (2,200 tonnes).
The Millennium Dome, which is located on the Greenwich Peninsula in Southeast London, was built to house the Millennium Experience, an exhibition celebrating the beginning of the third millennium. It now is home to the 02, an entertainment venue with everything from bars and restaurants to an arena and exhibition space.
The air inside London's Millennium Dome weighs more than the structure itself.
At the time it was built, the dome was was twice as big as the largest existing tensile structure. Although the dome has faced considerable financial and managerial challenges, it opened to great fanfare, with then-Prime Minister Tony Blair claiming, "In the Dome we have a creation that, I believe, will truly be a beacon to the world."
Building a new world:
When it was built in 1893 by George Ferris, the first Ferris wheel was the world's largest piece of constructed steel.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still stands.
Despite disease, landslides and other woes that killed approximately 25,000 workers, the Panama Canal -- one of history's greatest engineering projects -- opened in 1914.

Slander / Libel
Slander and libel are two claims made by stockbrokers against their employer, the brokerage firm. They have nothing to do with investor claims. Another legal term that encompasses both of these claims is defamation. The easiest way to distinguish them is to remember that the “S” that begins “slander” is for “speaking”. Slander is when one says something to one or more people that is untrue and harms that person’s reputation.
Libel, on the other hand, is the same crime as slander except the untruth appears in a written or published statement. In brokerage industry parlance, the U-5 is where most stockbroker libel claims originate. The U-5 is a regulatory document on which brokerage firms are required to report the reasons for a broker’s termination from the firm. This regulatory document is viewable by future employers - other brokerage firms where the stockbroker may seek to find work. If the statement put on the U-5 is false or misleading, oftentimes, the damages to the stockbroker’s livelihood and reputation can be huge. In fact, some of the largest arbitration awards are in defamation cases brought by stockbrokers against their brokerage firms.
The Form U-5 requires a brokerage firm to select one of the five reasons when a stockbroker departs employment at a brokerage firm:
1. Voluntary
2. Deceased
3. Permitted to Resign
4. Discharged
5. Other
The firm must provide an explanation if it chooses one of the last three reasons. The first thing that any brokerage firm does when considering a prospective stockbroker for employment, other than examining how big a book of business he has, is to check why he left his previous firm. It is easy to see how a stockbroker’s career could be derailed by untrue or misleading comments on the Form U-5. Damages in defamation cases can be extremely large because of the inability of the stockbroker to find employment.
What is the incentive of a brokerage firm to publish something false or misleading about a departing broker? One reason could be to create a scapegoat in the event of a regulatory investigation. That’s what happened in a December 20, 2016 arbitration award against Southwest Securities. The firm reported on the broker’ U-5 that she had been terminated because she did not cooperate with an audit by the state regulator. The arbitration panel found that the broker was wrongfully fired and defamed in the firm was ordered to amend the U-5 two state that the broker was “a productive employee with an unblemished employment record.
In August, 2016, Morgan Stanley sued a departing broker for the remaining balance on the promissory note. The broker counterclaimed against the firm, claiming that the firm defamed him in telephone calls to his clients. Oftentimes, a counterclaim is designed as a strategy to offset the promissory note claim. In this case, however, the broker won $1.12 million on his counterclaim, over $726,000 in attorney’s fees, over $90,000 in costs and $500,000 in punitive damages. The case was arbitrated for 21 days. The arbitration panel wrote, “Communications with Respondent’s customers conducted in at least a grossly negligent manner (if not with a self-serving, malicious motive) by one or more managers and/or authorized representatives of Claimant MSSB regarding Respondent and his departure from Claimant MSSB that defamed or were intended to defame the Respondent in the minds of his customers | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11820 | {"url": "http://investorfraud.com/Slander--Libel.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "investorfraud.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:23:52Z", "digest": "sha1:3OKI5F6H2DZBX5HSJKD4ISLXV4P6A7HA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3425, 3425.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3425, 4352.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3425, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3425, 55.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3425, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3425, 276.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3425, 0.40990991]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3425, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3425, 0.01503759]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3425, 0.0075188]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3425, 0.01861797]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3425, 0.01501502]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3425, 0.16666667]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3425, 0.47942755]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3425, 4.99642218]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3425, 5.03211204]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3425, 559.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 445, 1.0], [445, 1182, 1.0], [1182, 1314, 0.0], [1314, 1327, 0.0], [1327, 1339, 0.0], [1339, 1362, 0.0], [1362, 1376, 0.0], [1376, 1385, 0.0], [1385, 1898, 1.0], [1898, 2529, 1.0], [2529, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 445, 0.0], [445, 1182, 0.0], [1182, 1314, 0.0], [1314, 1327, 0.0], [1327, 1339, 0.0], [1339, 1362, 0.0], [1362, 1376, 0.0], [1376, 1385, 0.0], [1385, 1898, 0.0], [1898, 2529, 0.0], [2529, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 16, 2.0], [16, 445, 71.0], [445, 1182, 118.0], [1182, 1314, 23.0], [1314, 1327, 2.0], [1327, 1339, 2.0], [1339, 1362, 4.0], [1362, 1376, 2.0], [1376, 1385, 2.0], [1385, 1898, 89.0], [1898, 2529, 105.0], [2529, 3425, 139.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 445, 0.0], [445, 1182, 0.00417246], [1182, 1314, 0.00775194], [1314, 1327, 0.09090909], [1327, 1339, 0.1], [1339, 1362, 0.04761905], [1362, 1376, 0.08333333], [1376, 1385, 0.14285714], [1385, 1898, 0.0019802], [1898, 2529, 0.01286174], [2529, 3425, 0.02991945]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 445, 0.0], [445, 1182, 0.0], [1182, 1314, 0.0], [1314, 1327, 0.0], [1327, 1339, 0.0], [1339, 1362, 0.0], [1362, 1376, 0.0], [1376, 1385, 0.0], [1385, 1898, 0.0], [1898, 2529, 0.0], [2529, 3425, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 16, 0.125], [16, 445, 0.01398601], [445, 1182, 0.01221167], [1182, 1314, 0.02272727], [1314, 1327, 0.07692308], [1327, 1339, 0.08333333], [1339, 1362, 0.08695652], [1362, 1376, 0.07142857], [1376, 1385, 0.11111111], [1385, 1898, 0.01169591], [1898, 2529, 0.01584786], [2529, 3425, 0.02566964]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3425, 0.84721559]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3425, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3425, 0.48518401]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3425, -145.16043123]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3425, 73.16481278]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3425, -44.85143229]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3425, 32.0]]} |

Econ101, Ideological Blinders, and the New Head of CBO
There are troubling indications that Keith Hall lets ideology blind him to basic economics.
Last week, in a post about the employment effect of regulations, I mentioned briefly that the new Director of the Congressional Budget Office, Keith Hall, had endorsed some questionable views on the subject. A reader pointed me toward an additional writing that has done a lot to escalate my concerns. There are disturbing signs about both Hall’s ideological bias and even his grasp of basic economics.
This writing was part of an exchange in the journal Risk Analysis about an excellent book on the regulation/employment issue written by Coglianese, Finkel, and Carrigan. Here are a couple of snippets that reflect Hall’s anti-regulatory bias:
“[R]egulation-related jobs are created much in the same way that a hurricane creates jobs.”
“The important point is that more valuable economic resources—like labor hours in the preregulation world—are being used to produce less in the postregulation world.”
A little harder to distill into a soundbite, but even more disturbing, is the basic argument made in the review, which is that jobs that are lost due to regulation count as costs, but jobs that are created don’t count as countervailing gains. Here’s a somewhat longer excerpt where Hall and his co-author make this argument:
“Jobs that are lost were created to respond to consumer demands. In this case, workers are only hired if what they are able to produce is valued by consumers more than what the workers are paid, a positive value. But it is always uncertain whether or not jobs that are created to comply with regulations produce value that exceeds what the newly higher workers are paid. The value created is the uncertain benefits of the regulation. . . . . Becoming involuntarily unemployed is just one of the tragedies of the regulatory enterprise but forcing the American workforce into regulatory employment that has speculative value may be the far larger cost.”
The first thing that’s disturbing here is the rhetoric — regulatory benefits have only “speculative value,” and it is “always uncertain” whether they are worth their costs. But what’s worse is that it contains a basic economic error. It’s literally Econ 101 that the market won’t correctly value an activity if there are externalities such as pollution. (Not to mention other market imperfections like imperfect information, oligopoly, subsidies, etc., but just ignore those for the moment). By considering only the private value of the activity — the value it producers for consumers — but not the externalities, Hall is violating this fundamental economic principle. If we’re completely uncertain about externalities, then we’re equally uncertain about social value, even if we know the private value of the activity. It’s like an accountant saying that we can be sure a company is extremely profitable when all we know is that it produces a lot of revenue. Confusing the private value of an activity with its social value is exactly like confusing revenues with profits.
In short, Hall’s argument is deeply flawed even if he is right that the value of regulation is completely speculative. Of course, that’s not true either, and the fact that he thinks so is an indication of the strength of his ideological commitments. There are some other, less obvious problems with his argument, which are explored in the authors’ response to the review. But what’s really disturbing is that his ideology seems to be capable of leading him into basic economic errors. The issues facing CBO can be very politically fraught, and Congress is now requiring macroeconomic forecasts as well as estimates of direct costs. Given the much more complex economic issues he’ll be grappling with as head of the CBO, all of this is very worrying indeed.

paul grant says:
What you describe as basic economics, or Economics 101, is based on a fundamentally flawed view of market economics that has been adopted in order to attack the idea of free markets.
The idea that a market won’t correctly value an activity if there are “externalities,” and other “market imperfections” you mention are part of an analysis of free markets invented by those who want to rule over markets because they disapprove of market-determined outcomes.
The idea of “market imperfections” is a straw man invented for the purpose of justifying state intervention with markets. Markets don’t require perfect information in order to be highly effective at allocating goods and services to their highest and best uses. The term “market imperfections” reflects an attitude of moral superiority and condescension towards market actors. Those who criticize market imperfections, always want to correct some of the flaws they see.
No one person could ever have perfect information, nor can all people acting in a market – that’s the beauty of markets: they allow individuals to buy and sell goods and services based on their own interests and efforts, and in the process to benefit from the sharing of information and talent that produces an unimaginable (to any individual) cornucopia of wonderful things to choose from. The market allows for individuals without perfect information, to make intelligent economic decisions based on the communication of information that does occur through market actions. Free markets respect the freedom, the property, and the choices of market participants. Prices reflect the processing of information that can never be fully analyzed.
“Market actions” include all human action, not just economic transactions. “Externalities (such as pollution) that are not directly factored into a transaction, are not ignored by market participants. “Externalities” are undoubtedly much better appreciated, and responded to, than is acknowledged by market critics. People don’t like drinking water from sewers or breathing dirty air, and they communicate their dislikes of pollution through market actions, as well as through political action. Those who don’t understand markets, often don’t see that. Polluters are not friends of the community, nor of markets.
You criticize Keith Hall’s “anti-regulatory bias,” but don’t acknowledge your own anti-market bias. You criticize Hall for stating ““[R]egulation-related jobs are created much in the same way that a hurricane creates jobs.” But what Hall was stating is a fundamental principle exposing an economic fallacy, a fallacy called the “broken window argument.”
Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay, That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Unseen, explained that destruction (wars, broken windows, etc.), and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society. Opportunity costs, as well as the law of unintended consequences, affect economic activity in ways that are typically “unseen” or ignored.
So the idea that regulations produce jobs, and that is a good thing, is naive in that it ignores the opportunity costs that results from imposition of the regulations.
It is not possible to compute the costs of regulations, or the benefit. Unintended and unseen and unforeseen consequences will always result. The effort to compute costs and benefits is an exercise in imagination, done for political purposes, and the conclusions drawn will inevitably reflect the bias (or values) of the one doing the computation, whether they are pro-market or pro-regulation.

WERNER HUTHMACHER | Bavaria
Opening: Friday, 9 April 2010, 7 p.m.
Exhibition: 10 April - 8 May 2010
Apart from being the Latin for Bayern, the term “Bavaria” can be placed in front of all kinds of things: Bavaria fire extinguishers, second-hand Bavaria boots, Bavaria film studios, insurance companies, caravans, mountains, urinals, onion patterns and so on. It makes everthing sound special.
Bavaria also refers to the giant nineteenth-century female bronze figure located at the edge of the Theresienwiese in Munich, holding up an oak wreath. The oak wreath serves as a symbol of honour for those whose busts are exhibited in the Hall of Fame behind the statue. The platform in the head of the statue has a small see-through hatch with a view of the Theresienwiese, where the annual Octoberfest takes place as well as the assembling and dismantling of the festival halls.
Huthmacher’s work was created during the assembling period and seeks to portray elements of the construction and decoration in a highly reduced form. It deals with intervals of space, such as the relationship between inside and outside, back and front, temporally between before and after. Most of the halls are used year in, year out, dismantled, reassembled, painted and re-used. Traces of previous uses can thus be surmised under the many coats of paint. The reassembled and freshly painted hall constructions are supplemented with decorative accessories such as widths of material and garlands that link elements of staged cosiness with the identity of the respective hall.
The images attempt to comply with the simplicity of the constructions and decorations. Scales are disbanded, the documentary character of the place disappears. What remains discernible in the pictures are surfaces and spaces that will no longer be visible in this tranquillity and purity as soon as the Fest gets under way.

Home » Tips and Information » Currently Reading:
A job change does not necessarily imply a reduction in income stability. If you change your job for one that pays more and is in the same line of work, and if there is no significant time gap between the old job and the new one, the underwriter will assume that the new job is a continuation of the old one. In this case, it won’t matter whether you change jobs before or after you take the loan.
On the other hand, if you are out of work for four months and the new job is for lower pay and in a different field, the underwriter will view your employment clock as starting on the day you begin the new job. The presumption of income stability, based on your five years of steady employment, would be lost. Cases that fall between these extremes are judgment calls by the underwriter.
Assuming the judgment about income stability goes against you, it does not necessarily mean that you won’t be approved. If you have a job, you can document your income, even if you haven’t had that income for very long. Although income stability is a weakness in your application, the weakness can be offset by “compensating factors”, which include a high credit score, large cash reserves, and a low loan-to-value ratio.
Going Into Business: Going into business is a different matter altogether. It not only makes your employment history irrelevant but it also makes it difficult to document your future income. That is the major difference between changing jobs and becoming self-employed.
When you are self-employed, you must qualify on the basis of the income you earn in the business. Even if you generate enough income to qualify, the only acceptable form of documentation is your tax returns, but they don’t disclose non-taxable income, on which many business owners rely heavily.
Three or more years ago, I would have recommended that you take a stated income loan where the lender accepted the income you reported. With a stated-income loan, the lender would have verified your assets and might have checked your income for reasonableness against what was known in general about incomes in your industry, but that would be it. You would have paid more for the loan, but if your credit was good, the increase in rate would have been small.
The financial crisis, however, has eliminated stated-income mortgages, as well as other forms of liberalized documentation. Full documentation is now the rule for every borrower. Those self-employed must qualify on the basis of the income they show on their last two tax returns. If you go into business tomorrow, the very soonest you could borrow would be in two years, and that assumes that the income shown on your tax returns would be enough to qualify. If it isn’t, it won’t matter if you have pristine credit, 50 percent equity, and 50 months of cash reserves — you still won’t get a loan.
Bottom line: If you change jobs to earn more in the same field, it won’t matter whether you do it before or after you buy the house. If you decide to go into business, however, buy the house first. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/11827 | {"url": "http://luxuryrealestateinsider.com/2009/12/04/changing-jobs-and-still-want-to-buy-a-house-can-it-work/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "luxuryrealestateinsider.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:40:10Z", "digest": "sha1:BHDS6HQ37ZZFCQLUBTFOCXO2ENIVP652"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3075, 3075.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3075, 10945.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3075, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3075, 150.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3075, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3075, 250.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3075, 0.48895899]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3075, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3075, 0.04458857]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3075, 0.02594244]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3075, 0.02594244]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3075, 0.02594244]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3075, 0.01824078]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3075, 0.01094447]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3075, 0.00891771]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3075, 0.00315457]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3075, 0.13091483]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3075, 0.41851852]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3075, 4.56851852]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3075, 4.89142417]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3075, 540.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 446, 1.0], [446, 834, 1.0], [834, 1256, 1.0], [1256, 1526, 1.0], [1526, 1822, 1.0], [1822, 2282, 1.0], [2282, 2878, 1.0], [2878, 3075, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 446, 0.0], [446, 834, 0.0], [834, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 1526, 0.0], [1526, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2282, 0.0], [2282, 2878, 0.0], [2878, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 8.0], [49, 446, 78.0], [446, 834, 71.0], [834, 1256, 70.0], [1256, 1526, 41.0], [1526, 1822, 49.0], [1822, 2282, 81.0], [2282, 2878, 103.0], [2878, 3075, 39.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 446, 0.0], [446, 834, 0.0], [834, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 1526, 0.0], [1526, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2282, 0.0], [2282, 2878, 0.00689655], [2878, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 446, 0.0], [446, 834, 0.0], [834, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 1526, 0.0], [1526, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2282, 0.0], [2282, 2878, 0.0], [2878, 3075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.10204082], [49, 446, 0.00755668], [446, 834, 0.00773196], [834, 1256, 0.007109], [1256, 1526, 0.02222222], [1526, 1822, 0.00675676], [1822, 2282, 0.00869565], [2282, 2878, 0.00838926], [2878, 3075, 0.01522843]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3075, 0.2632212]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3075, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3075, 0.03118914]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3075, -67.28344646]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3075, 56.11510566]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3075, -217.22114448]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3075, 24.0]]} |

Teaching with Data in the Social Sciences
Mann, Wendy; MacVaugh, Kim; Spitler, Jasmine; Lee, Andrew
The Teaching with Data in the Social Sciences project focused on undergraduate courses and is based on the idea that “instructors in the social sciences need support in locating appropriate datasets and identifying tools to help students manipulate, understand, and visualize data.” Understanding the importance of teaching with data, and the number of students that the University Libraries support in these classes, George Mason University Libraries signed on with Ithaka S+R (Ithaka) as a partner institution for this study. With guidance from Ithaka, four faculty in the University Libraries, the study authors, interviewed instructors teaching undergraduate, data-intensive courses in the social sciences to identify their needs, challenges, and teaching practices. This qualitative study was carried out in tandem with nineteen other research universities in the United States. A final, national report summarizing results from all twenty participating universities will be published by Ithaka S+R in 2022.
The final report and the accompanying Executive Summary are included in this submission.

Every year, several outstanding short films and animations are produced and have received awards in Hong Kong, their creativity and efforts deserve recognitions both locally and abroad, not to mention many other excellent titles yet to be discovered. Now, Hong Kong independent filmmakers and animators are being offered a big step forward.
"HONG KONG SHORT FILM: NEW ACTION EXPRESS" is a scheme launched by the Hong Kong Arts Centre and sponsored by Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,aiming to promote excellent Hong Kong short films and videos locally and abroad. By sponsoring local talents to attend international film festivals and first-class cultural events, they will be introduced to global audiences and to engage in rewarding exchanges. Talents as such form the backbone of our creative industries, who make Hong Kong a unique and vibrant creative hub in Asia.
To introduce local creative talents to global audience
To broaden the talents' scope in short film filmmaking and appreciation
To promote Hong Kong short films locally and abroad
To reinforce Hong Kong as the creative capital in Asia
Online application for NAE is now closed. Details of the next round of application will be announced in due course.

Non-Newtonian Flow of Structured Systems.
XXIV. Shear Thickening
We have considered the features of shear thickening, that is, the phenomenon of increase in the suspension viscosity with increasing the shear rate after exceeding the critical shear rate. We have shown that viscosity curves (flow curves) are well approximated using the generalized flow equation on the interval before the onset of shear thickening and on the interval after the completion of the shear thickening.
We used published experimental results for structured systems: an aqueous suspension of corn starch, a suspension of carbon black particles in tetradecane, a suspension of particles of polymethylmethacrylate in polyethylene glycol, colloidal dispersion of silicon nanoparticles in polyethylene glycol. After the phenomenon of shear thickening is complete, a "flow spurt" is sometimes observed. The value of the critical shear rate of the transition from shear thinning to shear thickening decreases with increasing concentration of the dispersed phase. Within the framework of the structural rheological model, the phenomenon of shear thickening is interpreted as a transition from one flow regime to another regime, associated with an increase of the engagement force between particles.

AIDS around the world: CONFRONTING AIDS: CONFRONTING AIDS in D.C.
CONFRONTING AIDS in D.C.
where more than 90 percent of women with the disease are black
According to the D.C. Department of Health, women accounted for a third of all newly reported HIV/AIDS cases between 2001 and 2006, with AfricanAmerican women being disproportionately affected.
Most of those women were of child-bearing age, putting their children at risk. The number of women in the District living with AIDS increased by more than 75 percent in that six-year period. The most common form of transmission for women was heterosexual contact.
In the 14 years since she learned she was HIV-positive, Juanita Brown Sims has turned to her faith for support. Sims, 42, shares her poem, "Don't Look at My HIV, You Won't See Me" in the hope of giving support to others who have the virus.
What are you looking at
Are you looking at my HIV
If you is you can't see me.
I'm strong, I'm gifted, I'm lovable but most of all I'm free
Don't look at my HIV you won't see me.
I'm funny, I’'m smart, I'm a mother of three,
I am wise and I dress to a tee.
So don't look at my HIV you won't see me.
I’'m a child of God
I don't have to steal, borrow, beg or rob.
How funny you say you love me
When you always worrying about my HIV.
HIV lives with me but it’s not all of me, you see.
I am blessed by the God that lives within me
He helps me to do my best
So you could put your mind at rest,
And look at me
Not my HIV.
Yes I messed up my life
But I ain't going down without a fight,
I can now sing and dance
Because I'm giving my life a second chance.
I'm somebody who's willing, ready, able and understanding
And I don't mind living out my HIV on this planet
So if you keep looking at my HIV
You going to be so sorry you missed the God in me.

The lottery is a game of chance in which numbers are drawn and the winner gets a prize. It is a popular form of gambling, but it can be addictive and cost a lot of money.
The first known lottery was held in the Roman Empire around 205 BC. It was used to raise funds for public projects such as roads and canals. In some countries, lotteries were a significant part of the economy and helped to finance both private and public ventures such as colleges, libraries, churches, canals, bridges and fortifications.
In colonial America, Live Draw SDY were used to fund projects including universities and military fortifications. They were also a source of revenue for states in the United States and Canada.
During the 19th century, lotteries were criticized for their abuses by governments and citizens as well as by private promoters. They were believed to lead to gambling addiction, social problems such as divorce, and the financial collapse of families.
Today, most state lotteries are regulated by the state governments and offer games of chance. There are a number of different types of games, including four-digit games (Pick 4), five-digit games (Pick 5), and instant games.
A lottery ticket is a machine-readable paper form that consists of a series of numbers. The numbers on the ticket are printed by a machine and can be scanned by a retailer to generate a lottery game play slip that is then input into a drawing terminal.
There are many ways to win the lottery, but picking the right numbers is the most important. Picking the wrong numbers could cause you to lose your entire prize or even leave you with nothing.
Choosing the right number is something that takes time and effort. You need to research the numbers and determine which ones are likely to be drawn. This can take a long time, but it is worth the effort.
The odds of winning the lottery are extremely low, but there are ways to improve your chances of getting a good set of numbers. One of the best ways to do this is to choose a smaller game with less participants, like a state pick-3.
Another way to increase your odds is to play games that have fixed prizes, rather than those that change each time a draw takes place. This is a common practice in daily numbers games, such as Pick 3 and Pick 4.
You may also want to consider playing a game that uses pari-mutuel payoffs, such as those offered by Powerball and Mega Millions. These games have a much higher percentage of winners than those that use a random prize pool.
If you’re a serious lottery player, try to choose numbers that have a history of being drawn often. This is especially true for state pick-3 games.
You should also be aware of the dates on your lottery tickets. This can make a big difference in your success and will help you to avoid making any mistakes. Taking these simple steps will ensure that you have the best possible chance of winning the lottery.
