Why I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions
January 2, 2016 January 2, 2016 Miranda
It’s day 2 of 2016 and you have probably already made some resolutions for the rest of the year.
But will you stick to them? And are resolutions really useful?
Personally, I don’t believe NY resolutions really work – they’re more like a tradition which people follow blindly and forget about the minute they return to their daily routine.
However, setting yourself certain goals and objectives is definitely a must if you want to achieve something, not only this year but in life.
So here’s a better way of doing this: create a 10-year vision. Yes, 10 years is a long time, but as we all know time flies so we need to get crackin’.
A year ago I attended a vision-setting workshop (you can do it online here) by Lululemon Athletica where we learned how setting visions and goals can help you create and seize possibilities.
Here are a few tips to help get you started on your 10-year vision:
Write down what you want to achieve on a personal, professional and health level. Then write down what you do NOT want. Don’t feel bad about not reaching all of your goals, just write everything down. Check out Susanne Conrad’s goals here as an example of what the end result of this exercise will look like.
When writing those goals don’t be afraid to be audacious – it’s OK to fail 50% of the time (as long as you learn from your mistakes!).
Once you are clear on what you do and do not want in your life, start with a 10-year plan. Jot down in a couple of bullet points what you would like to have achieved in 10 years in your career, health and personal life. Here’s a template to guide you:
You can download this template from the Lululemon site here
Then, based on these goals, write down what you need to achieve in 5 years’ time and then in 1 year’s time. Breaking your bigger goals into smaller once will help you stay on track.
Now for the tough part – writing your vision. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Write your vision as a story – see it, feel it, hear it, smell it. Don’t hold back. Be true to yourself. Be specific.
Writing your vision may take a bit of time – don’t worry. Just close your eyes and imagine where would you be 10 years from now? Here’s a video from Susanne Conrad, Director of Possibility & renowned leadership and communication advisor:

Super Bowl Exclusive: 5 Cool Design Features of Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Photography courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
This year’s Super Bowl is practically a dream come true for architecture and design enthusiasts. Atlanta’s newest architectural landmark, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, will host the 53rd Super Bowl on February 3. The highly-anticipated project was completed in August 2017, notably led by HOK design principal Bill Johnson. As the lead designer, Johnson led the HOK team in being radically innovative and re-thinking the potential of what a stadium could achieve.
Johnson spoke with Interior Design about the top five design features fans should be sure to look out for during Super Bowl LIII.
1. The Futuristic Exterior Façade
“The façade’s shape reflects the roof’s form,” explains Johnson. “We alternated transparent ETFE panels with metal panels. The ETFE on the stadium’s west side spans more than 16 stories and 22,500 square feet, offering floor-to-ceiling views of the city. Dubbed the window to the city, this transparency provides visual and physical connectivity while supporting the stadium’s ambitious sustainability goals.”
2. The Oculus-Inspired Roof
“Our approach to the design started with the roof,” says Johnson. “Traditionally, stadium design begins with the seating bowl, which means the retractable roof can resemble an architectural afterthought, sliding open and closed quite conventionally. Our design team reimagined the retractable roof by reinventing the design process, working from the outside in. Inspired by the Pantheon and the way the circle of light hits the playing field, we designed an oculus roof with eight ETFE petals that open and close like a camera aperture in under eight minutes. The angular nature of the roof and the way they seamlessly align with the building’s façade was inspired by the shape of the Falcon’s wing, an ode to one of the two home teams, (the other being Atlanta United).”
3. The 360-Degree Halo Video Board
“The halo video board was inspired by the roof’s iconic opening. Our design team wanted to maintain the integrity of the design and avoid impeding the roof opening with a center-hung scoreboard, as you see at most venues,” Johnson explains. “To do this, we thought differently about how the video board could be embedded within the building’s structure. The six-story high, 360-degree halo video board is seamlessly built in, creating a way to experience content-in-the-round. This halo video board immerses fans in the game and provides a canvas for digital media to be presented in ways fans have never experienced.”
4. The Stadium’s Aptly-Named Mega Column
“The mega column spans 6,700 square feet, providing more square footage than the main video displays at 19 professional football stadiums and 24 Major League Baseball parks,” says Johnson. “The column provides a way to supplement the immersive halo video board content.”
5. The Sustainability Factor
“The stadium’s approach to sustainability is unprecedented. A 600,000-square-foot cistern captures and reuses rainwater, protecting Atlanta’s flood-prone westside and providing an irrigation source for trees throughout the city,” says Johnson. “The site has more than 4,000 solar PV panels, numerous connections to public transit, an urban garden and open recreation spaces. This is something our team is particularly proud of—I feel strongly that designers of these large-scale community buildings need to think boldly about the bigger legacy we are leaving the cities where we work. We need to ensure these buildings have the impact cities and communities deserve. Mercedes-Benz Stadium has set a new precedent in this space.”

Monthly Report 08/2022 - Executive Summary
Volume 1, August 2022, No. 6
On the way to an IGF+, UN Secretary-General António Guterres named ten members on 15 August 2022 of the IGF Leadership Panel (ILP) he had announced in his Roadmap for Digital Cooperation (June 2020). The ILP is intended to give the IGF greater political relevance and help connect the multistakeholder discussions of the IGF with the multilateral negotiations of the UN. The 15-member ILP includes two representatives each from governments, the private sector, civil society, the technical community, and the so-called "At Large" community. They are joined by the Chair of the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), Paul Mitchell, the newly appointed UN Technology Envoy, Amandeep Singh Gill, and a troika of previous, current, and future IGF hosts (Poland, Ethiopia and Japan). Among the ten newly appointed members are Vint Cerf, father of the Internet, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, former president of Estonia, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa of the Philippines. Other members include ETNO Director General Lise Fuhr of Denmark, the new President of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Maria Fernanda Garza of Mexico, Lan Xue, Rector of Schwarzman College of Tsinghua University of Beijing, and Austrian Minister for Europe Karoline Edtstadler
On 3 August 2022, Nathaniel Fick was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the new U.S. Cyber Ambassador. This new post had been created on the recommendation of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission (CSC). The CSC – a cross-party group of experts from both Chambers of the U.S. Congress – had recommended a fundamental realignment of U.S. Internet policy already while the Trump administration was still in power. The new Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy is now the central coordinator of U.S. cyber policy for cyber security, cyber crime, digital infrastructure security, new technology developments, cross-border data flows, digital development assistance and human rights. Nathaniel Fick was CEO of the cyber security company "Endgame" and previously served in the U.S. Navy. He became known for his best-selling book "One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer." At his hearing, Fick argued that it is on the "technology front" that the crucial political, diplomatic and economic struggles of the 21st century are taking place. He outlined his mission in terms of a triad: 1. Working more closely with Western allies, 2. Taking a clear edge against autocrats, and 3. Strengthening the own technological and institutional basis.
On 29 August 2022, the third negotiation round to draft a new UN convention to combat cyber crime began in New York. Now that agreement has been reached on the basic structure of the new treaty, the first concrete articles are being drafted. The main points of contention are the definition of criminal acts in cyber space and cross-border prosecution procedures. In the run-up to the 3rd session, the chair of the Ad Hoc Committee (AHC), Algerian Ambassador Faouzia Boumaiza Mebarki, sent out 48 questions. The answers will be discussed until 9 September 2022.
On 4 August 2022, the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) announced a "Global Conference on Cyber Capacity Building" to be held in Washington in February 2022. This meeting, which has been titled a "World Conference", will be organised in cooperation with the World Bank, the Davos World Economic Forum, and the CyberPeace Institute in Geneva
In August 2022, a discussion about the relationship of blockchain to the Domain Name System (DNS) flared up again in some ICANN Constituencies. This was triggered by the increase in registration of names in the so-called "Ethereum Name Service" (ENS). The ENS is an open, distributed, and extensible naming system that interacts directly with the Ethereum blockchain. Similar to the DNS, the ENS helps to map machine-readable addresses like "0xd0eAf74B8c5bF457C7a81c3fe277aDb6Ed32DCF4" to human-readable addresses like "name.eth". The goal of the ENS domains is to become the user names of the Web3 and the metaverse. The domains are managed by so-called "decentralised autonomous organisations" (DAOs). They can store crypto wallets, websites, content hashes and metadata. Domain holders can connect all their crypto wallets on a single ENS domain and receive cryptocurrencies or NFTs. At ICANN, there was consensus that on the one hand blockchain is outside ICANN's mandate. On the other hand, however, a further proliferation of ".eth names" (there are over one million .eth addresses registered to date) may lead to confusion among end users. ".eth" is not a Top Level Domain registered in the ICANN root. Therefore, ICANN should closely monitor the further development here. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12339 | {"url": "https://internet-governance-radar.de/en/whats-new/translate-to-englisch-blogpost/monatsbericht-08-2022-zusammenfassung", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "internet-governance-radar.de", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:49:53Z", "digest": "sha1:MEZXZYVQ3UM2J5SI6RYKXS6ROBPPGUY6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4759, 4759.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4759, 5172.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4759, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4759, 32.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4759, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4759, 210.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4759, 0.30627706]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4759, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4759, 0.019516]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4759, 0.00624512]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4759, 0.00676555]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4759, 0.0487013]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4759, 0.19588745]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4759, 0.5394913]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4759, 5.14457831]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4759, 5.37543093]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4759, 747.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 72, 0.0], [72, 1336, 0.0], [1336, 2572, 1.0], [2572, 3134, 1.0], [3134, 3480, 0.0], [3480, 4759, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 72, 0.0], [72, 1336, 0.0], [1336, 2572, 0.0], [2572, 3134, 0.0], [3134, 3480, 0.0], [3480, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 43, 5.0], [43, 72, 6.0], [72, 1336, 195.0], [1336, 2572, 196.0], [2572, 3134, 94.0], [3134, 3480, 56.0], [3480, 4759, 195.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.15384615], [43, 72, 0.24], [72, 1336, 0.00981997], [1336, 2572, 0.00841043], [2572, 3134, 0.02559415], [3134, 3480, 0.02702703], [3480, 4759, 0.02035831]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 72, 0.0], [72, 1336, 0.0], [1336, 2572, 0.0], [2572, 3134, 0.0], [3134, 3480, 0.0], [3480, 4759, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.09302326], [43, 72, 0.10344828], [72, 1336, 0.09098101], [1336, 2572, 0.04935275], [2572, 3134, 0.03914591], [3134, 3480, 0.0867052], [3480, 4759, 0.06645817]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4759, 0.85090309]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4759, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4759, 0.78200728]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4759, -193.36774956]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4759, 40.53401858]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4759, 135.30595453]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4759, 50.0]]} |
Kenan Song earns ASU Women and Philanthropy grant
Posted by Sona Srinarayana /
Faculty Awards News
Engineering Assistant Professor Kenan Song was awarded a $50,000 ASU Women and Philanthropy grant for a new project to design and manufacture biodegradable tissue scaffolds to cure pelvic organ prolapse in women.
Song and his students in the Advanced Materials Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory, or AMAML, will work with physicians at Mayo Clinic to conduct this research with the overall goal of ensuring the scaffold has high mechanical durability to support organs while stimulating healthy tissue regeneration. Equally important, his students working in areas such as manufacturing, biomedical and polymer chemistry are gaining workforce development experience for their future careers. Song hopes that this project will generate preliminary results for future funding opportunities.
ASU Women and Philanthropy was formed in 2002 by a group of women committed to becoming advocates and philanthropic supporters of the university.

Iranian-Kurdish Activist Sentenced to Death Says He Was Wrongfully Convicted of Drawing a Weapon
Iranian-Kurdish political activist Ramin Hossein Panahi will appeal the death sentence he was issued on January 25, 2018, by Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in Sanandaj, the capital of Iran’s Kurdistan Province.
In an interview with the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI), his attorney, Hossein Ahmadiniaz, said Panahi was wrongfully convicted of being a member of the outlawed Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan, and for drawing his weapon.
“My client intends to appeal the sentence within the 20-day legal limit. He is innocent. He is a dissident; a political activist but he did not participate in any armed action nor did he reach for a weapon,” said Ahmadiniaz. “Therefore, he cannot be charged and convicted of reaching for a weapon and engaging in armed combat.”
“My client does not deserve this sentence,” he added. “I hope that during the appeal process we will be able to defend him and he will be shown mercy.”
Panahi was arrested in June 2017 after several men accused of being Komala members were ambushed in the city of Sanandaj by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Sabah Hossein Panahi, Hamed Seif Panahi and Behzad Nouri died in the attack. Ramin Hossein Panahi survived bullet wounds to the stomach, back and legs.
According to his lawyer, Panahi has been charged with “corruption on earth” under Article 286 of Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, which states:
“Any person, who extensively commits felony against the bodily entity of people, offenses against the internal or international security of the state, spreading lies, disruption of the economic system of the state, arson and destruction of properties, distribution of poisonous and bacterial and dangerous materials, and establishment of, or aiding and abetting in, places of corruption and prostitution, [on a scale] that causes severe disruption in the public order of the state and insecurity, or causes harsh damage to the bodily entity of people or public or private properties, or causes distribution of corruption and prostitution on a large scale, shall be considered as mofsed-e-fel-arz [corrupt on earth] and shall be sentenced to death.”
Article 287 lists capital punishment as a sentence for drawing a weapon as a member of an armed rebel group, “Any group that wages armed rebellion against the state of the Islamic Republic of Iran shall be regarded as moharebs, and if they use [their] weapon, its members shall be sentenced to the death penalty.”
Article 279 defines a “mohareb” as someone who draws “a weapon on the life, property or chastity of people or to cause terror as it creates the atmosphere of insecurity.”

10 Things To Take Into Consideration When Buying An Outdoor Deck
The first thing you’ll want to consider is the location of your deck. It’s important to think about how much exposure you’ll have to the sun and weather conditions. If you live in a sunny area, an outdoor deck may be a good choice for you. Conversely, if you live in a colder climate, an outdoor deck may not be the best option for you.
2. Size and Shape
Next, measure the size of your space and figure out what shape your deck will take. Be sure to consider the length and width of your space as well as where the corners are located. You may also want to consider whether or not you want a traditional deck or something that’s more elevated off the ground.
3. Materials and Construction
When choosing materials for your deck, it’s important to think about both durability and style. You can select from a variety of materials like wood, metal, or plastic panelsing. Additionally, many decks are built with post-and-beam construction which means that there are large supporting beams throughout the deck structure. This type of construction is often more durable than other types of decks but it can also be less aesthetically pleasing depending on your preferences.
4. Lighting and Furniture
One final consideration is lighting and furniture placement. Many decks come with pre-existing lighting systems but if not, you may want to invest in some lights yourself. Additionally, if you’re looking to use your outside deck as

Blog Title: How to Keep Your Skin Healthy Through the Winter
Looking for a perfect place to take in the gorgeous winter scenery? Look no further than your backyard! Here are five tips to keep your skin healthy this season while enjoying the outdoors:
1. Protect Your Skin From The Elements: When it’s cold outside, the wind can be brutal. If you’re going to be out in the weather, make sure to wear a coat and hat that protect your skin from the elements. And if you’re planning on spending a lot of time outside, invest in some good sun protection too –SPF 30 or higher is essential when the temperature drops below freezing.
2. Stay Hydrated: During the winter months, it’s especially important to drink plenty of fluids so your skin doesn’t become dehydrated and irritated. Try to avoid drinking alcohol since it can further dry out your skin.
3. Apply Moisturizers Regularly: One of the main ways to keep your skin healthy during winter is by applying moisturizers regularly – even if you’re just going outside for a few minutes at a time. A good moisturizer won’t just help prevent dryness and irritation, but can also help improve overall complexion quality and elasticity over time.
4. Avoid Sun Damage: One major cause of skin damage during winter is overexposure to the sun – both UV rays and sunlight itself can cause inflammation and damage to your skin cells. Make sure you use sunscreen every day when outdoors regardless of weather conditions, especially if you

ISO Spaces Stand Out From The Crowd

ISO Spaces achieves £450k in Crowd Funding.
We’re delighted to announce that ISO Spaces has achieved £450k worth of Crowdcube investment, the world’s first investment crowdfunding platform, to raise the capital which we will now invest in hiring new staff, increasing capacity and extending our production facility.
Crowdfunding is an increasingly popular method of raising finance which sees likeminded investors pool their money and knowledge to back start-up, early and growth stage businesses. The concept is similar to that which features on the popular BBC television series, Dragons’ Den.
ISO Spaces initially set out to raise £300,000 in return for 10 per cent of the business. The target was exceeded within four weeks with more than 300 investors contributing between £10 and £50,000.
“Our order book is already full through to 2017 but with this funding in place, we can take on even more work, creating new jobs in the process. We are also planning to extend our factory in St Austell by a further 5,000 sq ft to cope with the demand,” said Ben Treleaven, Co-Founder and Director of ISO Spaces.

Home EconomicsAlumni
Anderson, Julia Faltinson
by Rosemary Salle
(August 16, 1919- January 23, 2012)
Home economics graduate (‘41) Julia Faltinson Anderson’s work incorporated a vision for connecting American and international women and families to adapt to changes in women’s lives, child care and educational opportunities, as well as to changing economic realities in her state.
Julia Marie Faltinson was born in Marengo, Iowa, in 1919, and received her B.S. in home economics from Iowa State College (University) in 1941. Anderson served as a county demonstration agent in Iowa during prewar years, then spent three years working as a lieutenant in intelligence with the US Navy WAVES during World War II. After the war, she earned an MS from the University of Washington. An avid state and local 4-H participant as a child, she returned to Iowa State to work in the 4-H Club office after completing her degree in 1947.
Faltinson joined the Home Economics Division in January 1953 as Assistant Dean. In this role, she ran the orientation course for new students, as well as advising, arranging schedules, and working on committees. Her enthusiasm and experience with 4-H youth helped her establish a great rapport with students, and promoted good faculty- student relationships. Well into her career, she married Marvin Anderson, the dean of the University Extension at ISU, in 1970.
Promotion of Home Economics and recruitment were part of her duties as Assistant Dean; during the mid-1960s she traveled the state as an ambassador for the Home Economics program, appearing at school career days and summer pre-university courses for high school girls. She was also an important recruitment coordinator, planning campus weekend stays for prospective students, who were housed in residence halls with student hosts and received an introduction to programs in the Home Economics division. She organized teams of students to present at area schools, and as educational options for women expanded, continued to argue for the relevance of and career potential in Home Economics study.
Anderson’s work was ahead of its time in anticipating how societal changes that opened an ever-wider variety of academic fields to women would impact her department and her field. To address this change in perception of Home Economics as a potential field of study for young women, she spearheaded an effort to assess the ‘image’ of home economics, and improve the ‘communication’ of the field’s potential for modern young women. Her work culminated in a national conference, held at ISU in 1961, that addressed “image” problems in the field of home economics and proposed better understanding of what the field could really offer.
The mid to late 1960s saw ISU reaching out to Iowans, including low-income families, in a variety of ways. To that end, Anderson began work on the development of a continuing education program that addressed consumer competence, interpersonal competence, and home and family relationships. Courses such as child development, family finance, textiles and clothing, and home economics education were taught in various cities and towns around the state, from Des Moines to Sioux City, Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Waterloo, and elsewhere. When the University Extension program reorganized in 1966, Anderson would become the liaison for the College of Home Economics to the office of Extension Courses and Conferences.
Anderson had a longtime professional interest in international programs and projects. In 1955, she directed a work camp in Austria, and in 1962 she traveled to Nyasaland as leader of a group of youth whose mission to help an African community build a community center. The effort’s larger purpose was to build good relationships and good will by living and working with African students. 1965 brought another work trip to Yugoslavia.
Her international expertise firmly established, her work camp experiences led to other international projects. In 1968, Anderson served as co-director of the ISU Peace Corps internship program, the first of its kind to include home economics and agriculture. This allowed junior and senior undergraduates as well as Masters candidates from the colleges of Home Economics, Agriculture, and Veterinary Medicine to use professional skills in the Peace Corps in Guatemala and Panama, to fulfill their 2-year commitment after graduating with their degree. This program was unique, developed by the Peace Corps after consulting with Faltinson in Washington, D.C.
After retirement, Anderson directed her energies towards community service and served in a diverse array of organizations and capacities outside the university. She was appointed to the Mary Greeley Medical Center Board, the Iowa Division of the United Nations Association Board, served as a chair for the International Relations Committee of the Iowa Division of the AAUW, and was the first woman to serve on the Iowa Banking Board. She also served as a member of the Board of Governors of the ISU Foundation. She received the Helen LeBaron Hilton Recognition through her commitment to international affairs, pursued through work with UNESCO, Partners of the Americas, and USAID. In 1993 Julia was named to the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame and in 1995 she was honored with the Carrie Chapman Catt Award from the League of Women Voters of Ames and Story County. She passed away on January 23, 2012 and is buried in the ISU cemetery.

Behn, Ernest E.
by "Iowans Who Made a Difference"
(July 19, 1916 – March 13, 2010)
The inventor of ridge-till farming, his method became the most prevalent in Iowa by the end of the 20th century.
Source: Legacy.com
Ernest “Ernie” Behn was born on July 19, 1916 in Hampton, Iowa, the son of Rudolph H. and Anna (Dohrmann) Behn. He graduated from Iowa State with a BS in 1940 in animal husbandry. He worked at ISU Extension Service for two years and the U.S. Soil Conservation Service for 25 years. Behn served in the U.S. Air Force for three years during World War II where he became an instructor in operation of aircraft radio equipment to students and instructors, covering all types of radio equipment.
In 1965 he was named “conservationist of the year” by the National Wildlife Federation. In 1975 he was named “no-till farmer of the year” by No-Till Farmer Magazine. Behn is the author of a work on conservation tillage, More Profit with Less Tillage (1977).
Ernest E. Behn’s ridge-till farming system swept across much of the Corn Belt and attracted attention overseas. Behn had been using the system on his farm near Boone for a decade. Higher-ups in the Soil Conservation Service were concerned promotion of his method would undermine traditional conservation methods. He authored his first book, More Profit With Less Tillage, which led to numerous speaking opportunities.
Ridge-tilling involves planting row-crops on a ridge without disturbing other soil in the field. Years later, it would be recognized as saving soil, energy and time. When Behn began, 90% of Boone County was plowed. By the end of the 20th century, 10% of the fields in the county were plowed.
Arizona’s Salt River Valley cotton planters, who used natural ridges for planting and valleys for irrigation, inspired Behn’s tilling system. Behn then turned his fields in that model, creating a planter that cut off the top of the ridge to push the weeds and last season’s residue into the valley, planting seeds on the ridge top.
His system went against conventional beliefs on leaving residue over-winter to control erosion and concerns that the ground would not thaw in spring. Once removed from ridge tops, the residue helped hold water, limiting runoff and when combined with terracing, less silt would fill the terraces.
Behn’s system came at a time of government environmentalists, and his main argument was that if farmers and agriculturalists did not make the change, the government would make it for them. It also cut down on the amount of times a field had to be gone over and even weeded or sprayed.
Behn is honored with Distinguished Service Awards from the Soil Conservation Society of America and the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and as a member of the Ridge-Till Hall of Fame from Fleischer Mfg. Co.
Ernest Behn married Marvel A. Stine in 1943. They had four children: Connie, Dennis, Jerry, and Rebecca. Behn passed away on May 13, 2010.

I Ran a Japanese Ekiden Race
"I had the chance to participate in one of these races and it was an experience I will never forget."
Katie Newton
Can you imagine running a marathon, or even an ultramarathon, as part of a long-distance relay team? Over the course of a morning or even multiple days, each of your teammates would run a long-distance leg before reaching an exchange zone and passing along a wearable sash, or tasuki, to the next runner to continue the race. I had the chance to participate in one of these races while competing for Team USA in Chiba, Japan and it was an experience I will never forget.
What is a Japanse Ekiden?
This unique race style is called an ekiden, and it is a hugely popular race format in Japan, where it originated. Ekidens have since expanded to other countries around the globe. The term ekiden roughly means “to convey between stations” and was the name of the transportation system government officials once used to relay documents throughout the country. For the Chiba Ekiden, each participating country invited three female and three male athletes to run legs of varying distance to total 42km, or a full marathon. After being bussed with the other female runners in my leg to the designated spot along the course, I warmed up and then stood in an exchange zone at the beginning of my “station” waiting for my US teammate to hand off the team tasuki.
I knew I was being welcomed into a long-standing tradition as the ekiden holds a strong place in Japanese culture. The first running ekiden occurred in 1917 in the celebration of Tokyo’s 50th Anniversary as the nation’s capital. Today, runners ranging in ability from school-age students to professionals take part in these events throughout the country, many of which are high-level athletic events. It is popular for businesses to boast professional racing teams made up of their employees. These teams often constitute the most competitive ekiden races.
Because of the importance placed on both collective success and group identity over the individual, as well as persevering internally through challenging times, the ekiden resonates with ethics that drive the nation already. Running has become popular in Japan due in part to the strong mind-body connection it fosters which is seen in many aspects of traditional Japanese customs.
As Japan’s biggest sporting events, ekidens receive full network television coverage and are attended by hundreds of thousands or even up to one million spectators along the race course. Many races take place on bank holidays where most of the public can tune in and cheer the runners along. They are not only entertaining sporting events but ones with strong ties to sponsors and the local economy. I saw this first hand while competing. Once I had my tasuki in hand, I began my 5K leg, placing the sash around my body as I looked ahead to some of the competitors who had gotten a head start on me while knowing the others were close behind. Despite not having any competitors right alongside me, I didn’t feel alone. I was amazed at the cheers heard along the way, with little flags representing all the participating countries waving in the hands of local fans as we ran by.
The race started and finished in a track stadium, weaving through hilly, turning streets around the city of Chiba. The sports complex held shorter track races while broadcasting the longer road-based relay event, with entertainment provided by musicians and mascots.
I finished my leg in exhaustion, not knowing any of my splits or my final time aside from the intermittent data I had received on my GPS watch. Once I was bussed back to the stadium, I met up with my teammates where we awaited the arrival of our final runner to the finish line. Team USA placed 6th that day, behind teams representing Japan, Kenya, Russia, and New Zealand. Despite missing the podium, being part of such a historical tradition and cultural event still felt like a win.

Mini Roadster added to lineup
Mini had added a roadster to their succesful lineup
Posted by Simon
The MINI continued its remarkable evolution overnight with the news there will be a sixth derivative of the breed, this one likely to set the hearts of enthusiasts beating with anticipation – the first open-top two-seater in its history. Simply remove the manual soft-top roof for open air sports car exhilaration, topped off with the MINI’s sophisticated chassis technology and low centre of gravity.
The range-topper of the new series is the twin-turbo, 237 km/h (147 mph), 155 kW (211 bhp) MINI John Cooper Works Roadster.
The car has a full complement of driver enhancement technologies – Electric Power Steering, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC), and an active rear spoiler that extends above 80 km/h (50 mph). Not bad for a car that returns 38.7 mpg (7.3 litres/100 kilometres)
The practicality of the MINI Roadster in comparison to traditional two-seater sports cars will be one of the [...]
Honda Accord – new concept car!
Honda's new Accord concept car is a preview of the ninth generation model
Even without taking into account Japan’s recent natural disasters, Honda has struggled of late, seemingly having lost its prominence as a technology innovator. With much riding on next year’s models, there was a lot of interest when the covers came off of the new Honda Accord Coupe Concept at the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) recently, revealing the first official glimpse of a new styling direction, as well as revealing a host of claimed new technologies for the all-new, ninth-generation 2013 model, set to go on-sale this fall in America.
As is the norm these days, the 2013 Honda Accord is designed to accommodate a variety of powerplant options, including a 2.4-liter direct-injected, 181 hp internal combustion engine, with either a 6-speed manual or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), a 3.5-litre SOHC 4-valve V6 matched to a 6-speed automatic, and a plug-in hybrid system that moves continuously through three modes – all-electric, gasoline-electric [...]
Nissan is developing a new EV charger
Nissan is developing a new EV charger for electric vehicles
If there are two obstacles that are still keeping the general public from embracing electric cars, those would have to be the vehicles’ limited driving range and long charging times. Well, Nissan has achieved a major milestone regarding one of those two problems – last week, Japan’s Nikkei news agency reported that the automaker has developed an experimental system that can fully charge an EV battery in just ten minutes.
The system incorporates a capacitor in which the electrode is made from a combination of tungsten oxide and vanadium oxide, instead of the traditional carbon. This change is said to drastically boost the power of the charger, which is what allows it to work so quickly. On the batteries that were tested, no significant effects were noted regarding their storage capacity or voltage.
The charger is apparently half the size of Nissan’s existing fast charger, and is said to work with batteries from a variety [...]
New Honda CR-V concept vehicle
A new Honda CR-V concept vehicle is a preview of the fourth generation model
The compact S.U.V. class looks set for some serious competition over the coming 12 months when a completely redesigned Honda CR-V will continue to sell against Toyota’s RAV4 and Volkswagen’s Tiguan. Plus Mazda‘s CX-5, which is expected to be very similar to Minagi and packed with the first comprehensive SkyActiv efficiency technologies, will join the ranks. Honda is the runaway leader in the segment and this update is a clear signal of its intention to stay there. The “Walter Mitty” lives we all lead is exemplified by the compact S.U.V. segment, where more than 95 percent of the vehicles sold never venture offroad.
The new Honda CR-V concept will be the fourth-generation of CR-V is set to go on sale in the United States by the end of 2011, and in Europe in Autumn 2012. There’s possibly not a single part number that will remain the same, yet many journalists see it as a mild [...]
First owner takes delivery of the new Nissan Leaf
San Francisco Bay Area resident Olivier Chalouhi has become the first person in the world to take delivery of a Nissan Leaf all-electric vehicle. At a special presentation on Saturday at North Bay Nissan of Petaluma in California, Chalouhi, a 31-year-old Silicon Valley entrepreneur who was the first person in the U.S. to place a LEAF order, took possession of a black LEAF SL in what Nissan described as an historic event representing “the first delivery of an affordable, mass-market, all-electric car since the first days of the automotive era.”
Before purchasing his LEAF, Chalouhi made the 10-mile (16 km) each way commute to work on a homemade electric bicycle. But with two kids he said he wanted a highway capable electric car that could handle two car seats so he could drop them off at school. He says that with the LEAF being the only 100% electric car on the market, his decision to [...]
Jaguar unveils stunning new C-X75 concept car
Jaguar is celebrating its 75 years with an equally, if not even more, stunning concept electric supercar. Unveiled today at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the C-X75 boasts some impressive performance stats that prove this is no mere show pony. Powered by four 145kW electric motors – one on each wheel – producing 780bhp and a total torque output of 1600Nm (1180lb ft), the C-X75 can accelerate from 0-100km/h (62mph) in just 3.4 seconds, and from 80-145km/h (50-90mph) in 2.3 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 330km/h (205mph).
While the C-X75 is capable of running for 110km (68 miles) in purely electric mode on a six-hour domestic plug-in charge, two lightweight (35kg/77lb) micro gas-turbines, spinning at 80,000 rpm, can generate enough electricity to quickly and efficiently recharge the vehicle’s lithium-ion batteries and extend its range to 900km (560 miles). The company says the miniaturized turbine blade, developed in partnership with Bladon Jets, [...]
Japan exports soar 40% on car and semiconductor demand
New trade figures have offered further evidence of Japan’s continuing export-driven recovery.
Exports in April jumped 40.4% from a year earlier to 5.9 trillion yen ($65bn; $45bn), marking the fifth straight monthly year-on-year increase.
Exports were boosted by global demand for Japanese cars and semiconductors.
And exports to other parts of Asia, which account for more than half of Japan’s total exports, rose 45.3% from a year earlier.
“Exports remain very firm even after very strong growth in January to March,” said Azusa Kato, an economist at BNP Paribas in Tokyo.
“The pace of export growth will slow in April to June, but we expect exports to continue to expand.”
‘Heartening’
Shipments to the EU were up by 19.8% from a year earlier, slowing from a 26.7% gain in March but again marking a fifth straight month of year-on-year increases.
Shipments to the US were up 34.5%, helped by strong demand for Japanese cars.
Overall, [...]
Toyota woes
I have been watching the increasing fallout over Toyota’s huge recall with interest and I must admit a certain amount of satisfaction and pleasure. They aren’t my favourite manufacturer I will come out and state that now. For lots of reasons but mainly their incredible arrogance, shoddy treatment of suppliers who I have spoken to, downright lies about fuel economy of the new Prius and coverups over the years of recalls that should have happened. Somebody who worked for a robotic supplier to Toyota summed it up perfectly for me just yesterday, ”
This about sums them up – air fresheners not needed in their toilets – ’cause it doesn’t stink there.”
The satisfaction comes from the fact that I wrote on this blog about the increasing number of recalls in 2007 and the deterioration in quality back then. Some poor missguided soul slagged me off, saying I didn’t know what I was talking [...]
Toyota shares extend loss as recall woes deepen
TOKYO (Reuters) – Shares in Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) fell for the sixth straight day on Friday as the world’s top automaker’s problems intensified over a recall of millions of vehicles due to faulty accelerator pedals and floor mats.
Toyota shares fell 2.1 percent to 3,485 yen in morning trade in Tokyo. They have lost 15 percent in the last five days.
“Toyota’s stock might fall further until the impact on earnings and profits from the recall becomes clear,” said Hiroaki Kuramochi, chief equity marketing officer at Tokai Tokyo Securities.
U.S. Congressional investigators are seeking e-mails and other documents from Toyota and U.S. safety regulators about the automaker’s recall.
It would be the first congressional review of its kind since the same committee investigated defective Firestone tires linked to deadly Ford Motor Co (F.N) rollovers in 2001.
On Thursday, Toyota said it would extend its safety recall of its most popular cars to Europe and [...]
The top 10 most reliable and unreliable 4×4s
If you’re planning on choosing a roadgoing car based on racetrack results, maybe you’d better think again. With the world’s greatestoff-road race, the Dakar Rally, currently powering its way through Chile, it’s interesting to note that the leaders of the event (BMW and Volkswagen) are among the least reliable 4×4 vehicles on the road, where it really counts. Newly released and highly credible information from the U.K. has revealed the most and least reliable pre-owned 4×4 and SUV cars on the market (see the top 10 lists here). Honda’s CR-V won the crown of the most reliable 4×4 by a fair margin while Audi’s A6 Allroad is the most unreliable 4×4 on the road, with Volkswagen’s Touareg and BMW’s X5 placing second and third most unreliable. That’s right folks, despite performing spectacularly in race events such as the Dakar, the VW Touareg is the second most unreliable 4×4 on the market, according to Warranty Direct.

No budget, no genre, no problem: Chronesthesia (2016)

I found lots to like about Chronesthesia.
The high-concept premise seems like a gimmick at first, but it earns its big climax and all the editing trickery along the way. The ‘mental time travel’ idea is both a way into the story and an effective means of pushing it forward.
The characters are well-realised people, from youngest to oldest, and their conversations feel authentic, whether they’re meeting cute or arguing, whether or not they’re generations apart. You really feel an emotional investment by actor/director/editor/writer Weal in all of them, even in the smaller supporting roles, and he deserves extra credit for that, especially as he is the star of the film and in nearly every scene. It could so easily have been a straight-up vanity project. Perhaps he realised the quality of the talent opposite him and decided to give them room to do their thing.
Wellington looks marvellous. We already knew that, but Duncombe’s cinematography shows it off in style. Because this is a no-budget film, I also have to mention the sound quality, which is impeccable.
This is a rare film that takes mental illness seriously, to the point that large chunks of dialogue explore its effects on and place in society. A character with mental illness is treated with consistent respect, despite at times being a potential danger to the people around him. Not just a plot device after all!
The only thing I would change is the title. Being a New Zealand film, and hence a product of British English, it should be ‘Chronaesthesia’. But I’ll give them a pass if it gets them an American distribution deal. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12351 | {"url": "https://jdanspsawyksui.com/tag/film-fest/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "jdanspsawyksui.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:31:34Z", "digest": "sha1:NTDCMOPSOHI7ORD5F5H6R3STBV24U6SN"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1726, 1726.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1726, 5473.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1726, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1726, 188.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1726, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1726, 310.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1726, 0.4273743]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1726, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1726, 0.01441961]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1726, 0.01586157]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1726, 0.02162942]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1726, 0.01396648]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1726, 0.16480447]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1726, 0.63481229]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1726, 4.7337884]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1726, 4.92259368]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1726, 293.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 54, 0.0], [54, 105, 0.0], [105, 128, 0.0], [128, 170, 1.0], [170, 403, 1.0], [403, 997, 1.0], [997, 1198, 1.0], [1198, 1513, 1.0], [1513, 1726, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 54, 0.0], [54, 105, 0.0], [105, 128, 0.0], [128, 170, 0.0], [170, 403, 0.0], [403, 997, 0.0], [997, 1198, 0.0], [1198, 1513, 0.0], [1513, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 54, 8.0], [54, 105, 9.0], [105, 128, 4.0], [128, 170, 7.0], [170, 403, 43.0], [403, 997, 96.0], [997, 1198, 32.0], [1198, 1513, 55.0], [1513, 1726, 39.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 54, 0.08333333], [54, 105, 0.20833333], [105, 128, 0.0], [128, 170, 0.0], [170, 403, 0.0], [403, 997, 0.0], [997, 1198, 0.0], [1198, 1513, 0.0], [1513, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 54, 0.0], [54, 105, 0.0], [105, 128, 0.0], [128, 170, 0.0], [170, 403, 0.0], [403, 997, 0.0], [997, 1198, 0.0], [1198, 1513, 0.0], [1513, 1726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 54, 0.03703704], [54, 105, 0.07843137], [105, 128, 0.08695652], [128, 170, 0.04761905], [170, 403, 0.00858369], [403, 997, 0.00841751], [997, 1198, 0.02487562], [1198, 1513, 0.00952381], [1513, 1726, 0.05164319]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1726, 0.7736479]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1726, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1726, 0.48894644]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1726, -57.10618012]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1726, 30.57412252]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1726, -82.65749211]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1726, 16.0]]} |
New Review for A Beautiful Glittering Lie
US Review of Books
A Beautiful Glittering Lie: A Novel of the Civil War by J.D.R. Hawkins Westwood Books Publishing
book review by Kat Kennedy
“It’s the end of all things as we know them.”
At the beginning of the Civil War, Hiram Summers, a north Alabama farmer and father of three, enlists in the Confederate Army. When Hiram and his best friend, Bud, join the Fourth Alabama Infantry Regiment to fight in a war that many believe will last only a short time, he leaves his wife, Caroline, daughters (Rena and Josie), and son, David, to take care of the family farm. As the surviving son in the family, David realizes the enormity of this responsibility. “He came to the realization that he was now responsible for protecting his family, tending to the farm, and taking his father’s place as head of the household.” Both Hiram and his family soon discover the horrors of war both in battle and on the home front.
This award-winning novel is well-researched, and the inclusion of historical battles and speeches give it authenticity. As readers follow the story of the Summers family, they are transported to both battlefield and family farm in an emotional narrative. Hawkins’ gift for storytelling is evident in each chapter. Her description of the battlefield and its horrors of war are so compelling that readers can almost smell the gunpowder. “Men dropped around him like flies, the thud of bullets sinking into them before their bodies exploded with blood.” Not only are the author’s descriptions of the devastation of battle intriguing, her attention to detail when relating the dangers faced by those on the home front is impeccable. “Two riders approached up the lane. It was still too dark for her to make out who they were. She rushed over to the gun rack, took down the shotgun, and walked out the front door to the porch.”
The novel explores the theme of friendship and brotherhood through both the relationship between Hiram and Bud as well as the one between David and Jake. The way in which Hiram and Bud look out for each other on the battlefield is a testament to the love the two soldiers have for each other. “Hiram stopped to catch his breath, watching the smoke clear. He looked around for Bud until he finally saw him walking toward him.” David and Jake also share a close bond, which is evident not only in their banter but also in the way they engage with each other during a trip to Huntsville to check out the location of Northern troops. “David jolted awake, realizing it was daybreak. Chilled to the bone, he shivered as he stood, and went outside. Jake was nowhere to be seen. Alarmed by his absence, he looked in every direction… Jake! Answer me, damn it!”
With its descriptive narrative, it is no surprise that this novel is the recipient of awards. The work won the John Esten Cooke Fiction Award and the B.R.A.G. Medallion. History buffs will appreciate the attention to detail and the inclusion of actual speeches, battles, and Civil War-era songs. The continuing story of the Summers family can be found in the next two books of the series, A Beckoning Hellfire and A Rebel Among Us, which are also award-winning novels. This is a very good thing because the current book is a novel that engages the reader and leaves one eager to read the next one.

Canada Council supports my second solo album creation!
Much gratitude to the jurors at the Canada Council for the Arts for agreeing to support me with an Explore and Create grant. My intention is to retreat to a composer studio at Gibraltar Point Artscape January, February and March of 2019, four days per week, to create music for a second solo album. I’m so looking forward to focussed creative time in a community of artists on our beautiful island. The theme I’ll be exploring relates to my urban-rural split identity. What better place to be than where the natural beauty and energy of Toronto Island nestles up to the south shore of Canada’s largest city! | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12353 | {"url": "https://jengillmormusic.ca/canada-council-supports-my-second-solo-album-creation/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "jengillmormusic.ca", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:32:40Z", "digest": "sha1:M5P3VPT7RXXX5UZL5DI3WIMO3IOQC6NX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 662, 662.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 662, 1063.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 662, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 662, 28.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 662, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 662, 263.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 662, 0.39393939]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 662, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 662, 0.04832714]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 662, 0.05576208]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 662, 0.01515152]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 662, 0.10606061]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 662, 0.71304348]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 662, 4.67826087]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 662, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 662, 4.20814298]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 662, 115.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 55, 1.0], [55, 662, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 662, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 55, 8.0], [55, 662, 107.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 662, 0.00668896]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 662, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 55, 0.03636364], [55, 662, 0.03294893]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 662, 0.0692215]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 662, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 662, 0.19322991]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 662, -33.67039729]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 662, 1.60884833]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 662, -29.96179047]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 662, 6.0]]} |

Senator Toomey Intends to Vote to Confirm Amy Coney Barrett
Senator Pat Toomey said Wednesday he intends to vote next week to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Toomey’s support was announced after he emerged from a meeting with Judge Barrett, who was nominated by President Donald Trump last month after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Senate Republicans, who hold 53 seats in the chamber, have moved quickly to push forward Judge Barrett — the president’s third Supreme Court nominee in four years — before Election Day. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12355 | {"url": "https://jetradio1400.iheart.com/content/2020-10-22-senator-toomey-intends-to-vote-to-confirm-amy-coney-barrett/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "jetradio1400.iheart.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:26:42Z", "digest": "sha1:HFUUNWSULRUUU4BDTIN7DDRNJ5YTC5Z2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 556, 556.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 556, 1349.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 556, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 556, 49.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 556, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 556, 302.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 556, 0.32075472]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 556, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 556, 0.03947368]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 556, 0.05701754]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 556, 0.01886792]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 556, 0.12264151]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 556, 0.69892473]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 556, 4.90322581]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 556, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 556, 4.03871601]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 556, 93.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 185, 1.0], [185, 371, 1.0], [371, 556, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 185, 0.0], [185, 371, 0.0], [371, 556, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 60, 10.0], [60, 185, 22.0], [185, 371, 30.0], [371, 556, 31.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 185, 0.0], [185, 371, 0.0], [371, 556, 0.01098901]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 185, 0.0], [185, 371, 0.0], [371, 556, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.13333333], [60, 185, 0.096], [185, 371, 0.05376344], [371, 556, 0.04324324]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 556, 0.90285051]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 556, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 556, 0.94181532]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 556, -30.55444252]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 556, 25.27299866]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 556, 1.37027608]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 556, 5.0]]} |
Grant Money For Restaurants From the Application For Disaster Support Fund
Those looking for grant money for restaurants suffering from natural disasters should check out the Application for Disaster Support Fund. This fund is designed to reimburse businesses for actual expenses resulting from disasters. This fund only reimburses businesses for expenses that occur within 12 months of the disaster declaration. Applicants are notified during the week of July 18.
EEAF reimburses actual expenses arising from qualified events
EEAF awards grants to nonprofit organizations for the reimbursement of actual expenses incurred during a disaster or emergency. These funds are considered non-taxable income and are not loans that must be repaid. A nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, America’s Charities, independently evaluates applications. Eligibility for an EEAF grant depends on the need for funding and the severity of the disaster or emergency.
Home Building Industry Disaster Relief Fund
To aid areas affected by natural disasters, the Home Building Industry Disaster Relief Fund was created. This recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization makes donations to other recognized charities. While the fund’s primary focus is shelter, you can use the funds to assist individuals in need of basic needs such as water, food, and other necessities. Interested charities should contact their local home builders association. To qualify, organizations must be affiliated with NAHB.
Other organizations and programs that help those impacted by natural disasters are the HOME BUILDERS INSTITUTE, LOUISIANA HOMEBUILDERS DISASTER RELIEF FUND, and ROCK COUNTY UNITED WAY’S LONG TERM FLOOD RECOVERY FUND. The Louisiana Home Builders Disaster Relief Fund helped New Orleans residents rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. Other groups that helped rebuild homes in Iowa following Hurricane Katrina included the LUTHERAN SOCIETY OF WESTERN UNITED STATE RESPONSE.
Academy Foundation Disaster Relief Fund
When it comes to addressing disaster relief, the Academy Foundation Disaster Relief Fund is a great way to support the efforts of people across the country who are trying to rebuild their lives. The disaster relief program is divided into two different categories: the Life Rebuilding fund and the CDR Professional Rebuilding fund. Each category is designed to assist those who need financial assistance due to natural or human-caused disasters. To be eligible to receive support, disaster victims must have suffered a substantial loss in income, property, or livelihood due to the disaster.
The Emergency Gap Fund for Black Working Artists, based in Philadelphia, PA, disburses $500 grants to artists and arts professionals in the city. However, the fund is closed for new applications. Alternatively, applicants in Arizona can apply for the Emergency Relief Fund for Artists and Arts Professionals. Both funds provide emergency aid for artists and arts professionals affected by disasters. Both funds provide funding for canceled events, residencies, and productions.
Southern Smoke’s Emergency Relief Fund
The food and beverage industry is in need of help and support during difficult times, and the emergency relief fund from Southern Smoke provides that. This nonprofit foundation was created in 2015 by James Beard Award winner Chris Shepherd to help Houston’s food and beverage industry and its suppliers. To date, the Southern Smoke Foundation has donated more than $2.8 million to nonprofit organizations representing the needs of the industry, including the National MS Society.
The Southern Smoke Foundation’s Emergency Relief Fund provides financial support to restaurant and bar owners and their suppliers. The foundation’s website also lists helpful resources. To apply, applicants must be employed in the food and beverage industry for at least six months and work 30 hours per week. A successful application will be reviewed by the foundation’s staff. The funds can help restaurant and bar owners deal with sudden financial difficulties, such as losing their jobs.

Wire Talk: Beyoncé to throw a “Party” for Fourth Album
Posted on September 19, 2010 October 15, 2010 by JNEL & J. Magazine
Throw all your emotions to the rear and get ready to let loose as it seems Beyoncé’s fourth studio album will be all about the uptempos. The details are quickly emerging for this new album and Sean Garrett who worked with Knowles in the past (“Check On It,” “Get Me Bodied,” “Ring the Alarm,” “Upgrade U,” “Diva” and “Video Phone”) revealed the news at the 2010 MTV VMA’s:
“I am going in the studio with Beyoncé this week to work on her next record,” Garrett told the Music Mix at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. “I think we are doing a lot of up-tempo records for this one. She’s in such a good place right now in life that she is interested in making party music, definitely.”
During the closing of Beyoncé’s last concert of the I AM… tour, she announced a new album to be released by the end of this year. The Knowles clan usually keep their word when it comes to the release of Bey’s albums. The time period between her 1st and 2nd albums was 3 years and the period between her 2nd and 3rd was 2 years. The point we’re trying to get across is with her third album, not a single bit of news leaked right up until a month before the album’s release. This mean her fourth could sneak up on us like a heart attack.

All On The Cover: Kanye West Covers XXL Magazine
Kanye West will appear on the cover of XXL’s October issue, hitting newstands nationwide on September 28.
The Louis Vuitton Don penned the cover story on himself—his first article ever—and also served as the creative director of his own 40-page section in the special collector’s issue.
In his candid cover story, West speaks on the reaction he received from the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards debacle.
“I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally,” he explains in the story. “And it definitely wasn’t about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV.”
“The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend,” he adds. “How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”
Mr. West said that, following his VMA outburst, he immediately dedicated himself to the studio.
“I knew I wasn’t in a great spot publicly after the incident, but I would just block it out and work as hard as possible and let my work be my saving grace,” he shared. “In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone.”
In addition to Kanye’s cover story, XXL’s October issue features stories on Kid Cudi, West’s G.O.O.D. Music family, Wiz Khalifa and the top 10 producers turned rappers of all time.

J & J. Rundown: MTV’s VMA Highlights
Sunday night at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards the audience went Gaga over the night’s top nominee while Taylor Swift and Kanye West delivered performances that reflected on the infamous incident that put them both in the spotlight after last year’s VMAs. So who were the winners at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards?
Comedian Chelsea Handler, who admitted she was “high as a kite”, hosted the 27th annual VMAs, rocking a house on her head as she made her grand entrance on to the stage. Her monologue included the obligatory disses. After giving a nod to the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore, Handler told the audience, “Don’t applaud- they’re the reason MTV doesn’t play your videos.”
Musical guests at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards included Eminem, Rihanna, Usher, Justin Bieber, Florence and the Machine, Drake, Mary J. Blige, Swizz Beats, Taylor Swift, Linkin Park and Kanye West.
Lady Gaga accepted the Best Female Video Award from comedian Ellen DeGeneres. Gaga told her fans, “Tonight, little monsters, we’re the cool kids at the party.” And as Gaga accepted several awards throughout the evening, her constant costume changes kept things interesting. She also announced the title of her new album- “Born This Way”.
Eminem was also a big winner, but jetted from L.A.’s Nokia Theatre before accepting any of his awards. His show at Yankees Stadium was slated for today and he had to hit the road.
Let’s break it down!
The night opened up with Eminem performing his comeback hit “Not Afraid”, which lead into a surprise appearance by Rihanna for “Love the Way You Lie”. Looking a lil Courtney Love circa 1995, but much cuter.
Hearing Rihanna’s voice come out of the blue and very unexpected gave me chills in a good way.
It was definitely nice to see her and Eminen performing together on stage. Definitely one of my picks for best performances of the night.
DOPE breakout song of the year.
Justin Bieber put on an a semi-good performance with great dancers, a cool drum solo and confetti. He gets kudos for reacting fast to losing a drum stick. He had a quick recovery during his solo.
Next on stage was Justin’s mentor, Usher. His medley of “DJ Got Us Falling in Love”/”OMG ” was not my favorite performance to be honest. He barely sang anything. He sounded really bad and I was not a fan of the dancing. The ninja dancers descending from the ceiling were fun, but there wasn’t really anything memorable about the performance.
In my opinion Usher flopped this one.
Now was it me or were the majority of these performers lip synching? That was really starting to piss me off about the whole show.
Good punch line moment was when, Katy Perry hands Nicki Minaj the VMA Moon Man award and tells the rapper that’s she found her a “stiff man”.
I needed the laugh and that to me was funny!
Florence and the Machine may have sung her hit song “Dog Days Are Over”, but what she should have been singing was “Underdog Days Are Over”. She was definitely one who had a great performance. While much of the music world has finally started to take notice of the phenom that is FATM, mainstream music listeners have only just started to see the singer on their radar. Florence showed the MTV VMAs what real singing is all about.
She sang her ass off….GREAT!!
Now off to the best collabo performances of the night besides Eminem & Rihanna‘s performance. I have to hand it over to the next performers of the night.
Bruno Mars got everyone hyped for his upcoming album when he and B.o.B. performed their huge hit “Nothin’ on You“. B.o.B. kept the momentum going while performing his joining of two worlds collabo for “Airplanes” with Paramore’s Haley Williams.
Williams is super dope and has some serious swag.
Williams ended the performance while taking it back to her roots and performing with her band under a skyline of floating lightbulbs. This trifecta performance was likely was off of most people’s radar and yet delivered the most impressive talent of the night.
Drake got all “Fancy huh“, while rocking a white tuxedo jacket. His surprise guests consisted of Mary J Blige and Swizz Beatz. It was something expected from Drake, since he’s been on some serious hype lately. He’s everywhere! It was a good mood booster a very nicely high-energized performance.
Justin Bieber took home the moon man for Best New Artist award, but got a bit confused and couldn’t figure out how to get on the stage.
Linkin Park performed their song “Catalyst” off-location on the top of the Griffith Observatory. Good performance.
Last night was Lady GaGa’s night at the 2010 MTV VMA’s as she won 8 awards including “Video Of the Year.” GaGa rocked three crazy pieces of fashion, all of which seemed to be ones that she appeared in recently in magazine pictorials.
Later the legendary Cher took the stage, calling herself “the oldest chick with the biggest hair and the littlest outfit”. She also said she had shoes older than most of the VMA nominees.
Cher still looks good for her age. She still can rock a see-through outfit and not give a damn about what anybody says.
Cher presented Lady Gaga with the award for Best Video of the Year.
A well-deserved win for Gaga.
After shedding tears of joy, GaGa was emotional and moved by the win that she even went as far as telling fans the album title for her next album. She scratched the plans of a New Year’s album title announcement and just blurted the three worded title. The album title for her next album will be called, “Born This Way”.
Now what was the deal with her meat dress? Really Gaga? I thought it was a bit way out of the box, but with Gaga you never really know what to expect.
She’s still DOPE!!
Now for the most anticipated, what I should be saying the most talked about performances of the night go out to Taylor Swift & Kanye West.
A year after Kanye West stormed the VMA stage, stealing Taylor Swift‘s thunder as she accepted her award for best female video, the rapper was back on the VMA stage to make amends…
But first, Taylor Swift showed a mature and much more solemn side of herself. Swift performed her new song, “Innocents”, off her yet to be released album ‘Speak Now’. The song was penned about West‘s infamous interruption of Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at last year’s VMAs. The video clip of the incident played at the beginning of her performance, making it clear who and what she was singing about. But the lyrics “32 and still growing up now” and “who you are is not what you did” seemed to offer forgiveness to the rapper. The song, forgiving West of his rudeness, is one of Swift’s strongest songs lyrically to date.
Now off to Mr. West…
Asis Ansari’s introduction for Kanye West should have been funny. It had all the makings to be a classic Ansari funny moment, but fell short. Like, really short.
Thankfully, Kanye’s performance did not fall short.
West ended the night on a high with his own pennance, delivering a song called “Runaway”, an ode to being a “d—-bag’ and offering a toast to “scumbags”.
Even more shocking?
Taylor Swift was nowhere in sight. While both artists had their performances slightly overshadowed by the anticipation of a possible cameo from one another, neither Swift nor West collaborated on either performance. A positive reuniting of the two music powerhouses would have easily been the show-stealer.
That definitely would have been the icing on the cake, but unfortunately it didn’t happen.
Lets not talk about the pre-show performance. Nicki Minaj & Will.i.am?! WACK as hell, now don’t get me wrong I am a fan of the both of them, but I feel the performance could have been superfly and it just went down the drain for me. I was not impressed. Sorry guys. This is just my opinion.
Oh and lets not forget Will.i.am’s black face and Nicki’s outfit. WTF was that?!! Bad, bad, bad fashion choices.

Music News: Taylor Swift to debut a new song to Kanye at the VMA’s?

Music News: VMA Breakdown
It was an intense and exciting Sunday evening as the “2009 Video Music Awards” took over New York City, causing quite a stir with Kanye West‘s outburst, Madonna‘s surprise appearance, Janet Jackson‘s tribute performance to her brother Michael and the cast of ‘Twilight”s big reveal of their extended ‘New Moon’ trailer.
Madonna opened the awards show, paying tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
Madonna called Michael Jackson a “hero,” a “king” and a “human being” as she paid tribute to the King of Pop at MTV’s “2009 Video Music Awards,” prior to Janet Jackson‘s anticipated performance.
“When I was six, my mother died. I think he got the shorter end of the sick,” she says of the music legend. “I never had a mother but he never had a childhood.”
Madonna said when she learned of Michael’s death while preparing for her tour, she felt as if she had “abandoned him.”
“I know his pain,” she said, referring to the constant media attention the King of Pop received.
Madonna said his legacy lives on, starting with her two sons who are big fans of the late singer. “There’s a whole lot of crotch grabbing and moon-walking in my house,” Madonna joked.
She concluded her tribute saying, “He was a king, but he was also a human being. … Long live the king.”
Following her words, dancers made their way to the stage to perform to Michael‘s acclaimed song “Thriller.” Janet Jackson followed that performance up with her own tribute, singing the song “Scream,” a duet she recorded with her brother.
Taylor Swift then went up onstage to accept the award for Best Female Music Video from Taylor Lautner and Shakira, but her speech was cut short when Kanye West grabbed the microphone from her, declaring that Beyonce’ Knowles had the best music video of the year.
Swift was also amongst the performers of the night, in addition to Green Day, Pink, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys and Kid Cudi. Cudi dedicated his performance to the late Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein, while Pink performed high in the sky with a trapeze artist.
The show concluded with a preview of Michael Jackson‘s anticipated documentary ‘This Is It.’
Here is the list of Moon Men winners at the 2009 VMA’s:
Breakthrough Video- Matt and Kim, “Lessons Learned”
Female Video- Taylor Swift, “You Belong with Me”

Music News: Kanye West Does It Again!
The outspoken rapper Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at MTV’s 2009 Video Music Awards, declaring Beyonce‘s music video should have won the moon-man.
“Beyonce had the best video,” he said, taking the microphone from Swift.
Swift, looking taken aback, left the stage following West‘s outburst.
I think Kanye really over-stepped his boundaries as an artist. What he did was not cool one bit. It was rude and very unacceptable. I feel that as an artist at his magnitude of stardom, should have had more respect for Taylor Swift and given her that chance to receive her award for a work well done.
I’m sure that if that if someone who have interrupted his acceptance speech and said that someone else deserved his award more than himself, he would not have been to thrilled.
According to sources, Kanye and Amber Rose were escorted out of the VMA‘s.
Since the incident, Kanye has than posted an apology on his blog by stating the following…
“What are some of your thoughts about what happened at the VMA’s?”

More Janet Jackson images by Tom Munro including a few excerpts from the interview below.
In her first interview since her brother’s death, Janet talks to Harper’s Bazaar about how she coped in the days following Michael‘s passing. In the article, Janet reveals for the first time that she has indeed split with Jermaine Dupri, confirming rumors that they had broken up this summer.
The title of her new book “True You” is also confirmed and will be released next year. The article also states that her new album will come out next spring and that she will go on tour next year, however it does not explain whether the tour simply means a promotional tour or a concert tour.

Janet Jackson Opens Up About Losing Michael….Brotherly Love: The Pop Star Talks About Growing Up With the King of Pop…
There had always been a powerful bond between Janet Jackson and her brother, Michael. Perhaps this is why she says she hasn’t watched television or read a newspaper in the two months since her brother’s sudden death.
“I’d, I’d just like to say that to you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family,” the pop star told Harpers Bazaar. “And he will forever live in all of our hearts.”
She also opens up about her relationship with Michael and their last day together, and how she’s coped by immersing herself in a new album and book.
The Michael Jackson Only She Knew…
As a 14-year-old, it was Janet‘s job to take care of her superstar brother. “I would shop for him. I washed his clothes and cleaned his room. When mother would go out of town, she’d say, ‘I’m leaving you in charge. Take care of Michael.'”
She knew early on that her brother loved clothes that stood out. For the 25th Anniversary of Motown special, Michael grabbed his famous sparkly black jacket from his mother’s closet.
“If it was shiny, if it had any kind of bling, he loved it,” Janet said. Except for his shoes. He danced them down to the soles. “He would wear his shoes all the way down,” remembered Janet. “His penny loafers would have huge holes in the bottom.”
She recalls the joy of making the 1995 music video “Scream” with her brother. “We had so much fun back then. We would organize our days together.”
She also fondly remembers the last time she saw Michael — a month before his death.
“The last time we were together, he’d laugh so hard, he’d just start crying.”
In 2002, Janet told Diane Sawyer how important her brothers were to her.
“I was close to my brothers growing up, and I missed them a great deal when they would go out on tour,” she recalls. She admits that she used binge eating as a way to cope with the pain of their absence.
“I can be an emotional eater,” she says. “Of late, I have been doing that, yes. It started when I was very little. My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.”
Moving On as a Family…
Jackson says that they are going through the ordeal of her brother’s death as a family. She’s especially proud of Michael‘s children, Blanket, Prince Michael and, especially, Paris. She said that people have told her that the way that Michael‘s daughter spoke at his memorial really gave them a sense of how he was as a father.
She says the kids are doing well. “They’re with their cousins,” she says. “That family love will keep them going.”

Parables, Parties, and the Kingdom of God – Sermon Text
Text: Luke 14:15-24
Series: The Meaning of Jesus – Week 4 (see bobkaylor.com for previous sermons)
Audio: Listen to it HERE
I came across this picture several years ago. I think it would be a great cover for a book I haven’t written…yet.
The story behind the picture is this. Around 1903, the people of Waterloo, Iowa were struggling with some fairly regular flooding from the Dry Run Creek. So they engineered and began construction on a massive storm sewer – over 3,000 feet long, 12 feet high, and 12 feet wide – to catch the runoff from heavy rains. When the project was complete the people decided to celebrate this great achievement at their annual League of Iowa Municipalities banquet. And what better way to celebrate that which would make life easier for the people than to have the banquet right there in the sewer.
The New York Times reported the event: Dateline, October 14, 1903. “The city officials and business men of Waterloo this evening gave a banquet to the League of Iowa Municipalities in the ‘Dry Run Sewer’ … A section of the sewer 400 feet in length was set apart for the banquet. A long table was spread to accommodate 350 persons.”
They also report that 2 mayors and the Attorney General of Iowa were among the speakers. All of this is under the headline “Banquet Given in a Sewer” (New York Times). This picture is from a postcard circa 1915 that commemorates the event (sewerhistory.org).
I get what they were going for, but I’m not sure I would have wanted to be there. I would love to see a picture of all of those gentlemen and ladies in their 1900s formal attire enjoying a meal there in the sewer. There is something about the incongruity of the beautiful banquet table with the formal silverware, the napkins neatly folded, the filled wine glasses, and the decorations on the table all set up in a storm sewer that fascinates me. Somehow I think this is a Kingdom of God image.
Jesus known for celebrating
One of the things for which Jesus was fairly well known, or maybe infamous for in his day, was enjoying a good party. In fact, there is this verse we don’t often preach on, found in both Matthew and Luke, where Jesus responds to the accusation of the religious elite that he is a “glutton and a drunkard” (Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:34). How did he gain that reputation? By attending banquets and dinner parties fairly regularly.
His ministry begins, according the Gospel of John, with his first miracle. At a wedding banquet, Jesus turns water into wine. Running out of wine was a sign that the party was over. By making more wing, Jesus keeps the party going. A symbol of his ministry. John, and the rest of the gospels, tell us that Jesus; ministry ended with celebratory meal with his disciples right before the series of events that led to the cross. He starts at a party, ends at a party, and mixed in throughout his ministry in between, there is mention after mention of Jesus eating. Sometimes at dinner with a scribe or Pharisee; sometimes with his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus; sometimes at the house of a tax collector like Zacchaeus or Matthew; sometimes out on the field with 500 friends and a miraculous amount of fish and bread.
It seems that just about everywhere Jesus went, he was ready to celebrate.
Why? Because he knew something no one else did. Jesus knew and proclaimed that “the Kingdom of God has come near.”
You may remember from Pastor Bob’s sermon on “The Perfect Storm” a couple of weeks ago, that the Jewish people were looking for the return of God to Jerusalem to rule, but they differed on how they thought that would happen and how they would participate in it. The sect called the Pharisees believed that God would come back when God’s people paid strict adherence to God’s law. Jesus bumps up against them often. They think Jesus is lax with the law, and is therefore impeding the return of God. Another group, called the Sadducees were expecting their alliance with Rome to pave the way for God’s return. By currying favor and gaining some power, they believed they were living God’s way for God’s people by keeping the Temple fully Jewish and not allowing it to be corrupted by the gods of the Roman Empire, as other empires had done previously. The Zealots took quite the opposite approach. They believed that God would come back to re-inhabit the Temple and rule the world when they were able to drive the Romans out of Jerusalem and come out from under the occupation. Finally, there were the Essenes who felt the Temple was corrupt and when God returned he would judge the Temple and its leaders. So they went out to live in the caves of the Dead Sea, to get away from it all and live “purely.” They are the authors of what we now know as the “Dead Sea Scrolls.”
Jesus comes with a completely different message. He is not talking about what needs to be done in order for God to return. Rather, Jesus announces right at the outset of his public ministry that “the kingdom of God has come near” (Matthew 4:17, Mark 1:15, Luke 10:9 – and others). God is already here, and already king. There is no denying that this is central to Jesus’ earthly ministry. He has come to announce that people no longer have to wait for God to come as king in Jerusalem and by extension to the rest of the world. Instead, Jesus announces that the Kingdom of God is here now and that is cause for celebration.
Biblical image of the Kingdom of God
I want to reiterate something that Bob introduced over the last several weeks about what Jesus means by the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of God, or Kingdom of Heaven (those two phrases are synonymous), as Jesus talked about it, is not a place out there somewhere for us to attain later. In fact, it is not “out there” at all. Jesus always talked about the Kingdom of God as a present reality, but one that we do not always see.
One representation of this phenomenon would be two intersecting circles. One of those circles represents this world. This is “our space” – the world which we experience through our five senses; it is where we live, work, and play every day. The other circle represents the Kingdom of God. Very simply, if the other circle is our space this is “God space” – the place where God dwells fully.
For the Jewish people of Jesus’ day, the place where the two circles intersect would be the Temple – where God’s space and our space meet. In other words, the closest one could get to being in the very presence of God was to enter in to Temple.
For me, this two-dimensional drawing is limiting. I would rather it be three-dimensional – like a sphere within a sphere. One sphere representing God space, and the other our space. When we do that, rather than only a single point of intersection, there can be many intersecting points at any time.
You have probably experienced this. When you go on that mission trip, or that retreat, or meet with that friend, or come to worship, and you know that you are in the presence of God – that is one of those intersecting points. In other words, it is not as though the Spirit of God has come to you from someplace else, but that you have spent a moment in God’s space.
The biblical image of this for me is the story of Jacob’s ladder, from which we get the well-known song. In Genesis 28 we read of Jacob lying down to sleep during a journey. While he is there, he has a vision where he sees a ladder between this world and the next with angels ascending and descending, a sign that God is present in the world constantly. When Jacob awakes from this dream he says, “Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!” And he was afraid, and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven” (Gen 28:16-17). Jacob had spent time in that in-between place.
Kingdom of God Parables of Matthew 13
Throughout his ministry, Jesus was proclaiming much the same thing. The kingdom of God has come near, he said. The problem seems to be that we have trouble seeing it.
Take a look with me at the series of parables told in Matthew 13. Turn there, skipping down to verse 31. Listen to this quick succession of parables.
Jesus says, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it becomes the greatest of shrubs.”
Next one: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast…mixed in with three measures of flour.”
Next one, down in verse 44: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field.”
Next one, verse 45: “the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
Next one, verse 47: “the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind.”
There is a pattern that emerges here – a seed that is planted, yeast mixed in dough, treasure hidden in a field, a pearl that was difficult to find, and fish just below the surface. There is this sense that the kingdom of God is right here, but yet somehow just out of reach.
Jesus is pointing out that if only we had, in another expression he liked to use, “ears to hear” and eyes to see, we would begin to notice the kingdom of God all around us, just waiting to break through. Jesus has come to announce that the kingdom of God is here – not out there somewhere, and that he is the king of that kingdom.
We are going to talk much more about that next week, when we talk about Jesus and the Temple. For now, just try to keep that in mind as we continue to talk about Jesus’ parables and parties. Jesus is announcing and celebrating that the kingdom of God has come near – it is right here, right now!
Keep that in mind as we begin to talk about a couple of Jesus’s parables.
What is a parable? N. T. Wright reminds us that Jesus’ parables “were not, as children are sometimes taught in Sunday school, ‘earthly stories with heavenly meanings,’ … Some, indeed, are [kingdom of God] stories…with decidedly earthly meanings.” Meaning that these are not stories meant to teach us about something about the world we hope to inhabit one day, but are instead stories about that other realm, the God space, that should change the way we live here in our space.
A parable about a banquet – Luke 14
Which leads us to the parable we read this morning, skipping over to Luke 14. If you still have your Bible out, go toward the back of the Bible a few pages, past Mark to Luke 14. If start back up at verse one we get the setting for this parable:
One one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely. (Luke 14:1)
Jesus is at dinner with a “leader of the Pharisees.” In the next section he heals someone, and then he makes a comment about humility. Then we come to verse 15 which Michelle/Ruth read for us earlier. So in the midst of what appears to be a dinner party with a Pharisee, Jesus tells a story about a dinner party. The story is told in response to a guest’s comment about eating bread in the Kingdom of God.
In the parable, Jesus revisits the Mission of God that Bob talked about last week. Remember that was to (1) bring good news to the poor, (2) proclaim release to the captives, (3) give recovery of sight to the blind, and (4) to release the oppressed and declare the year of Jubilee when everything is to be forgiven. The kingdom of God casts a much wider net than the people wanted to believe. They wanted to keep God for themselves, and not the others whom they believed were not worthy to be called the children of God.
At this kingdom of God party Jesus describes, the so-called worthy people all have better things to do. Property to inspect, oxen to test drive, a new relationship that is pulling them away. So the host asks that “the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame” be invited instead. Those who thought they deserved a place at the table are then shut out, because eventually the table is filled. The kingdom of God is for everyone!
No doubt Jesus’ host, a leader of the Pharisees, must have gotten the point of the parable. As a Pharisees he was one that was concerned about other things. And sure enough, Jesus’ story seems to end the dinner party. The next verse has Jesus back on the road, “Now large crowds were traveling with him.”
Soon after leaving the Pharisee’s house, this parable begins to come to life. We read that Jesus has “tax collectors and sinners” coming near to him. This gets some Pharisees grumbling about his choice of dinner guests – the impurity of it all. In response to this accusation, Jesus tells three more stories. The first is about a lost sheep. The shepherd leaves to find the lost one, and when he finds it – he throws a party. The second is about a woman who lost a coin and searches her house and when she finds it – she throws a party. The third is about a son who leaves home with his inheritance. Eventually he comes home, and when he does – his father throws a party.
This party image is not just something that Jesus talked about in his parables. This is a parable he lived. Time and again we find him celebrating with all the “wrong” people. When Matthew, a former tax collector, tells the story of his own call to discipleship, he includes the dinner party that he threw that night with Jesus and his former friends, “tax collectors and sinners” (Matthew 9). We could go on and on with example after example.
The point is that one of the centerpieces of Jesus ministry was the announcement that the kingdom of God was here now, and it was to be celebrated.
This is not a celebration that denies the difficulties of life. It is a celebration that brings meaning within the difficulties. The people Jesus is calling to celebrate are living a difficult life. They are not free, many are poor, and there is little hope that is going to change. The message of the banquet is that those who have been cast out, who do not belong, who are told they are unfit, who have no power over their situation, and appear to have little hope for the future in this realm – there is a place for them at the table of the Kingdom of God. The sad part is that there are so many that miss the celebration because, in their words, they have better things to do.
Often in Jesus‘ parables about banquets and parties, and the stories that the Gospel writes tell about the parties Jesus lived, we read about those who refuse to celebrate. The father in the prodigal son story begs the older brother to join the feast, but that son can’t bring himself to celebrate. In the story of Matthew’s dinner party upon becoming a follower of Jesus, we are told that there are Pharisees and scribes on the outside looking in. In this morning’s story we hear about those who very politely turn down the invitation to the banquet because they have other things – land, oxen, marriage – that keeps them from joining. Today I wonder how many stay away from the kingdom of God because they don’t realize that it is supposed to be a party.
Christians in the culture
Have you ever noticed how the culture views Christians? Back in my youth, one of the most recognized Christian characters was “the church lady,” Dana Carvey’s character from Saturday Night Live. She hosted a little show called “Church Chat,” where her primary activity was pointing out where other people were not living the proper Christian life. She took great pride in telling them what they were doing wrong.
Several years later it became Ned Flanders, neighbor of the Simpsons, and his pastor Steven Lovejoy. Two of the most boring, joyless characters ever on television. I don’t know that Rev. Lovejoy has ever smiled on an episode of The Simpsons.
Or how about more recently, and more real, someone like Harold Camping. In the media for his predictions of doom and gloom about the end of the world. So many preachers, encouraging so many Christians to simply shake their heads over the state of the world and thank God they will be evacuated before it gets worse.
Do we think it was much better in Jesus’ day? Many long to go back to a better, simpler time. Oh, if only the world were like it were back in the days of Jesus. Really? The people Jesus preached to were living in a terrible time. They were persecuted and oppressed. They were doing things that had to grieve the heart of God – treating women poorly, casting people out for their disease, telling people they were unfit for the love of God. Yet Jesus didn’t walk around the streets of Galilee all doom and gloom just shaking his head. Instead, he said, “Let’s eat.”
From confrontation to invitation
When I was in Loveland last week I was talking with a young woman, a youth minister, who had recently graduated from college and was serving a church in a different college town. She had such a heart for the college students, and was grieved by what she saw as animosity toward the church. Apparently she witnessed a rally where some students were actively campaigning against the existence of god, and that Christianity was wrong, and things like that. She talked about how there was so much darkness on the campus and very little light. She was concerned for the students who were away from home and who might get sucked into this type of thinking because they were not connected to church and thereby susceptible to this type of reasoning.
By the way, I think this is happening on many campuses across the country. During that time of life it is easy to believe that more knowledge will help us evolve to solve our own problems, and we don’t really need a god to do that. That is what is called humanism.
She said something like, “I just don’t know what to do. I want to go up to those students and confront them, and tell them that they are wrong, and get them to stop. I want to convince them that Jesus is the way.” In a Holy Spirit moment I said something like, “I’m not sure that’s the way to go. I think it might be more effective if you set up an alternative. Those students that are protesting, don’t really know what the church is all about. Don’t fight them, and feed their perceptions. Go show them what the church really is.” Within seconds, she was brainstorming ways to do that. Setting up a coffeehouse in an abandon spot in the middle of campus, gathering people together for study, prayer, and fun. She went from wanting to fight, to trying to figure out ways to invite people to the party.
That sure sounds a lot more like the way Jesus would operate. Sure he called people out and challenged their difficult behavior, because all of that business was keeping them from celebration. Jesus said, you think property, work, and marriage are great – I’ve got something even better for you.
Dry Run Sewer Banquet
Which brings me back to Waterloo, Iowa, 1903. A group of townspeople set up a banquet in a huge storm sewer. That is an awfully odd place to celebrate. The banquet doesn’t belong there. It belongs in a grand hall, with chandeliers and a dance floor. A sewer is no place to celebrate. We should leave the sewer and wait until we get to a beautiful place far away.
But then again, what better place for a party? Let’s get together right there in the presence of that which is going to save our town from future floods, that is going to improve our lives and change the way we live. Why can’t a giant storm drain that brings peace to a community be a place to celebrate? As ordinary as it appears, there is something very special about this place that is worth celebrating.
Jesus came proclaiming that the Kingdom of God has come near. This, he said, was something to celebrate. Right here. Right now.
The table is ready! Come! Come join in the kingdom party!

About First Presbyterian Church
First Presbyterian Church (FPC) was born on June 27, 1858 with a grand total of ten members. Today FPC numbers 185 members. FPC has had three homes: 21st Street and Prairie Avenue (1864-1903), 2201 Western Avenue (1903-1972), 10 Charleston Avenue (1972-today). The gym and youth center were added in 1987.
Throughout our history, Presbyterians have been actively involved in meeting needs in the community and throughout the world. In recent years, FPC members have dug wells in Africa, built a school in Central America, and re-built homes for flood victims in Cedar Rapids and Nashville. Closer to home, FPC members worked to refurbish the Titus Home in Sullivan, established a mentoring program at Riddle Elementary School, provided support for Kemmerer Village, as well as helping as staff and volunteers for the Mattoon Food Pantry and Heartland Christian Village.
Our aim at FPC is to live out the Good News of Jesus Christ and bring that Good News to the world. We discover new dimensions to God's love as we study the Scriptures and reach out in service to others. The faith that has sustained FPC members for over 150 years is the same faith we bring to the challenges and callings of today. FPC can provide your family with a sturdy foundation of faith from which to learn and serve and grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Abu Salem should be released on completion of 25 years of imprisonment, the Supreme Court to center
In the case of Abu Salem v. State of Maharashtra, the Supreme Court’s bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and MM Sundresh ruled on Monday that, in accordance with the terms of an extradition treaty between India and Portugal, gangster Abu Salem must be released by the Central government after serving his 25-year sentence.
The court ruled that while commuting the sentence as requested was not possible, the central government might use its remission powers to free Salem in accordance with the treaty.
The central government made it clear that Salem’s arrest in Portugal in connection with a passport fraud case cannot be regarded as part of the 25-year term and that the central government might ask the President of India to release Salem after serving the required 25 years.
Salem had argued that it was against the conditions of the stated treaty for the 2017 ruling of a TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Court to sentence him to life in prison.
The reason the plea was brought up two months before the 25-year sentence was up for discussion in court. Salem contended that the duration of imprisonment should be calculated starting from the day of detention in Portugal following the issuance of the Red Corner Notice (non-bailable warrants), not from the date that India had completed extradition.
Salem’s plea stated that the Government of India had assured the Government of Portugal on December 17, 2002 that if Salem was extradited to India for prosecution, he would not receive the death penalty or be sentenced to a term of imprisonment more than 25 years.
It was contended that the highest court does have the authority to rule on the matter and award relief, despite the fact that the TADA Court had ruled that it was not bound by the government’s guarantees.
The Central government contested the appeal through Additional Solicitor General KM Nataraj, who argued that Salem’s time spent in Portugal as an undertrial for a case involving passport fraud cannot be taken into account for calculating the 25-year sentence.
Salem was transported to India in 2005 and given a life sentence for his part in the 1993 Mumbai bombings after a protracted extradition dispute with Portugal.
The criminal had filed a petition with the Supreme Court last year, alleging that his extradition to India was unlawful.
The Union Home Secretary submitted an affidavit in the matter, which the supreme court sternly rejected in April of this year, stating that it was utterly unnecessary and an attempt to lecture the courts.
The Central government had notified the Supreme Court that the promise it made to Portugal was binding and that it would be honoured when the time was right, but Salem’s argument was premature. According to the affidavit, Salem’s attempt to combine the guarantee and the case’s merits was legally untenable.

The stuff of life: the real reason why it’s so hard for me to get rid of most of it (again)
Posted on August 6, 2016 August 8, 2016 by Karen K. Ho
The trick is actually picking out the ones you like, first. (Photo by Karen K. Ho)
When I was in my teens, I went through hundreds of CDs. In addition to buying them at record stores, sale bins, even the campus radio station’s clearout sale, I also lived near a regional library branch that allowed me to borrow up to 50 at a time. I would rip them all at home, figure out what I liked and what I could delete from my hard drive later. I felt like I was gaming the system a little.
Like many of my generation, I almost never buy CDs anymore. But I’m confronting hundreds of the ones I loved (and some I wasted money on) because I’m moving again.
Going through all of your life’s possessions is tedious. When Marie Kondo tells people her blockbuster process of de-cluttering takes around six months, I believe her. The idea of going through each item you own, figuring out if it gives you joy and how to get rid of it is exhausting. There are a lot of memories and emotions tied to stuff.
I don’t have a choice. I have to deal with everything I own, again, in the next three weeks, because my family has told me they simply don’t have the space to hold the rest of my possessions. I do not want to rent a storage locker. And I have already pared down furniture, sold my car, and given away more than a dozen bags filled with items.
overwhelmed by her possessions: the never-ending story of karen k. ho
— Karen K. Ho (@karenkho) November 29, 2015
Currently, there are 25 cardboard boxes, mostly the ones that used to ship bottles of wine, in the basement of my mother and sister’s house in a suburb of Toronto. I filled them all before I left for my job in Northern Canada. And there are more items at my father’s house an hour away, including my undergraduate degree.
After your parents split and sell the house you grew up in, “stuff” is all you have left of a life that no longer exists.
When I was younger, I painted my room a bright sky blue in defiance of every plain off-white or grey you seen in new or renovated homes. I covered the walls in pictures, photographs, a floating bookshelf full of colourful graphic novels and young-adult literature, along with plushes and notes. I wanted it to reflect an outlook and mood I often didn’t feel in that house, and make it my own place.
During the renovations before that house was sold, my dad stripped off all remaining the stuff on the walls of my room and painted it back to off-white. I saw it a week before I flew to Yellowknife. After more than two decades of life in that room, seeing it absolutely bare and completely devoid of everything I remember, everything that made it mine, made me cry. Even more than my mom and sister leaving, even more than when I started to see my dad less because our relationship was no longer the same, seeing that room completely confirmed the home I once knew no longer existed.
New York will only be the second time I really move away from Toronto. Going to Columbia will be my first experience of living in residence, on campus. I don’t know what my studio apartment will look like, what furniture it will have. I can afford to buy things to fill it with. The problem right now is trying to figure out what I should bring.
I am well aware this is a great, first-world problem to have and despite previous pare-down efforts, I still likely own too much stuff. I do not need three parkas or two pairs of winter boots. My collection of workout clothing made sense when I worked out every day and biked to my job but not now. And I still have shoes in my closet that are either too small or too painful to wear more than a few times a year.
But in what often feels like a ruthless purge to be more minimalist, to deal with all my stuff, to cut down on the items that I really won’t miss or are easily replaceable or I won’t remember a few weeks from now, I wonder a lot about what is lost.
I currently work at The Globe and Mail, in what is essentially my dream summer job, as as a business reporter on a three-month contract. It is a job that has already taught me a lot, given me wonderful opportunities and allowed me to work with friends and professionals, some of whom I’m known about or read for many years.
One of the biggest things that happened was I made a mark through reporting on a video game.
In a fortuitous turn of events, I was able to pitch, report and produce a two-page news feature, what The Globe and Mail calls a Folio, on Pokemon Go soon after it debuted. I wrote something around 1,600 words in one day (and after many meetings) about the business and culture of the game, as well as what it meant for the world even if a reader never knew what Pokemon was, never interacted with the franchise, or never planned on playing the new mobile offering.

I think it did pretty well. The layout was simple, but eye-catching, and it explained pretty much everything I wanted to include, with a great business reporting core. I filed pretty late, which was definitely noticed, but I think people in the office also knew it was because I did most of it by myself.
I later heard the feedback from editors was also pretty positive. A great reporter, data analyst and multimedia editor, Terra Ciolfe, also recognized the additional spike in interest when the official Canadian launch happened a few days later. She compiled a digest of the Globe’s coverage so far and Google put the whole thing as one of the top search results for the phrase “Pokemon Go Canada”, which meant a new round of readers to my story.
This is a long way of saying, the story looks great online and did well, twice. But my main physical token of this moment, and much of my summer at The Globe and Mail so far, is a stack of copies of the Folio.
I have already thrown out so many copies of the stories I wrote for The Varsity, the student paper I wrote for at the University Toronto. I don’t have any more physical copies of the things I wrote during journalism school or during my internships at Xtra!, Snowboard Canada Magazine or even the Financial Post. I have four copies of the issue of Toronto Life with my feature on Jennifer Pan.
When you move six times in less than two years, you get tired of re-examining all of your life’s possessions, especially when you like analog things. Writing in journals, taking instant photos, sending and receiving cards in the mail, collecting paper maps, paper tickets to shows, my old passport from my trip through South America, books, autographed Broadway cast albums and Playbills. Even Lego.

I really wish I could bring more things with me to New York. I wish I had a better idea of what was important to me. Because to me, a lot of this isn’t just “stuff” I can just walk away from. It’s proof of the life I’ve lived so far: I was part of a family that looked pretty great on the outside. I’ve done some cool things. And I once had great taste in music and books.
I worry if I get rid of it all, I won’t be able to prove to myself, much less anyone else, that all of this happened. The good and the bad parts.
Which makes me realize something. For so much of my life, I’ve felt like I had to prove things. They include:
I wasn’t stupid.
I wasn’t less than for not being born a boy.
I didn’t deserve to be treated the way I was just because I was in a junior position or younger or not white.
I could succeed at sports.
I could travel on my own.
I had good ideas.
I could write and report well as well as take great photographs.
I deserved to be paid more, get more time off and have my insurance claims go through.
I was trying as hard as I could already.
And that it wasn’t my fault.
A lot of people either didn’t listen to me or thought I was exaggerating about what happened. “It’s not that bad.” “Everyone goes through it.” “You’re generalizing too much.” “Be happy you have a job.” “It worked before.” “We’re not changing things.”
I didn’t always journal or photograph what happened. And in the last few years, I often tweeted late at night, after 11pm, what I felt like I couldn’t say when most of my friends would be awake. I didn’t want to burden others with my feelings about struggling at what felt like everything in my life.
In many ways, my “stuff” is my “receipts”: proof my life occurred. Be it time invested or lost, music that shaped my perception of the world, maps that inspired me to travel, books that helped me think differently, games that helped me be happy, cards that showed when a friend cared enough to deal with the expense of stamps, and journals. So many books full of words I wrote down that showed I was a writer, reporter and deep thinker long before I felt like I was genuinely good at it and deserved to be paid for it too.
That’s why I can’t throw so much of that stuff away. I know I’ll always need a big chunk of it. It reminds of me of how far I’ve come along.

Meet Michael Oesch:
Musician, digital media artist,
grant writer, walker and more!
Michael Oesch is a musician, digital media artist, grant writer and walker, among other things! Michael is BEACH DIGITAL MEDIA, working with musicians and spoken word artists to help them attain funding to record spoken word or musical projects. This year’s successes include Cathy Petch for “Mel Malarky Gets the Bums Rush”, Richard Lett’s one-man show about men’s health “One Nut Only” and Valentino Assenza “Postcards From Sicily”.
One of Michael’s current big projects is his documentary Walking: The Wisdom of The Road in which he explores more than just our great nation during his trails. This guy doesn’t sit still for long, eh! Look at him go! I asked Michael some questions about himself and his walking mission.
What is your passion? I am passionate about creating and helping people use the creative process to find out more about themselves and more about their place in the world.
What are the greatest challenges and greatest rewards of your passion/career?
In life there are always challenges and in the past I sometimes let fear stand in the way of me accomplishing my goals. I have come to learn that fear is mostly an illusion and the greatest reward is working past the fear with love, kindness and tolerance until I no longer am motivated by my negative thoughts and instead come at the projects in my life with love as the underlying principle to success.
What does it mean to be an artist? I used to think being an artist was staying up late at night and contemplating the unknowing questions and answers. By this method I almost killed myself. I used to suffer for my art, and suffer I did. I have come to learn that being an artist today for me is more therapeutic. As artists we use our own experience to reflect the world around us. I have come to accept that pain in life is unavoidable, but suffering is an option. Through my art I have come to learn to let go of those things that would keep me up until the dawn. With my art I have learned that by working through the pain there is a sort of redemption that lightens my load and allows me to live in the moment.
What would people be surprised to know about you? In 2002 in the state of suffering I decided I needed to get out of my life and find new stimuli. So I sold everything I owned and left my home here in Toronto and walked for eight months out to Labrador and back, covering 6800 km. It was an amazing experience but it didn’t settle this restless soul of mine and in 2005 I set off once again on foot and walked from Toronto to Vancouver. In my spare time I was a slow-pitch baseball umpire for 20 years.
What makes you laugh? Children and animals make me laugh. Their honesty is so refreshing. Also, people who don’t take themselves so seriously are just a joy to be around.
What is fun for you? Playing music is fun.
What makes you question humanity? I used to be revolted by society and all the things in it. That’s why I went for my walk. But I’ve come to learn that we are all troubled souls and that we are all on our own journey of discovery. And the most we can do is to help those around us, and by doing so we make a little contribution to making this world a better place.
How lucky are you and why? I think I’m lucky because I have walked to the edge of the world and faced myself at the precipice and come back a stronger person through that experience. I’ve learnt not to sweat the small stuff and that in reality it’s all small stuff.
What would you say to your 8-year-old self? Live Learn and Love.
What would you say to your 80-year-old self? Lay off the cheeseburgers.
What is your favourite quote? “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.” – Stephen Grellet
What do you hope to achieve through your documentary Walking: The Wisdom of The Road? Currently I have decided to share the experiences I had while walking. I have talked with others who have decided to go on long walks, and we have shared our collective wisdom. I am directing this documentary, and we propose exploring the spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits of walking. We intend to examine the motivation and collective consciousness these people have gathered on their journeys.
What is the most-challenging aspect of this project? The most-rewarding? In 2014 I started filming the documentary by following the Bhaktimagra Swami as he finished his fourth walk across Canada. The Walking Monk, as he is affectionately called, is a spiritual leader of the Hari Krishna’s here in Toronto. We also gathered some footage of Dana Meise, the first person to walk to all four oceans on the Trans Canada Trail. And of course I include myself in this project, but the challenge is how we can show the benefits to the ordinary person. This summer in 2016 we are following four participants on a pilgrimage in Quebec. The Chemin des Santuaires is an 18-day 375 km walking pilgrimage from St. Joseph Oratory in Montreal to Ste. Anne-de-Beaupré. We need to get an honest perspective by regular people to show that walking can benefit anyone. You don’t have to walk to the edge of the world like I did.
What are you most proud of with this project? The narrative of this documentary is taken from the journaling of walkers as they are on their travels. It allows the viewer to get an in-depth perspective of the thoughts of people when engaged in a pedestrian lifestyle. Because this documentary is all narrative and no one speaks to camera we plan on doing it in several languages, English and French to start and possibly several others.
What did you learn from doing your walk in the past? I learnt that you can walk almost anywhere if you are willing to take the time– and that only Jesus can walk on water… LOL
What would people be surprised to know about your creative process? This documentary is unscripted – We aren’t trying to sell this to a major corporate television audience. We have some concepts that we want to explore and will work hard in the process, but we are willing to let go of expectations and outcomes and let the experiences of those involved create an authentic testament to the benefits of walking.
What words of advice would you give to anyone about creating art? About embarking on such an adventure? Coming up with the idea is usually easy. And the first steps on any journey are usually easy. It is only through good planning and perseverance do we really achieve our goals. Sometimes by working hard and letting go of controlling the process we end up with something better than we could have ever envisioned.
Some wise words there! If you would like to follow and/or contribute to Michael’s walking journey, please visit the Walking: The Wisdom of the Road crowd-funding site here. Good luck, Michael! Bon Voyage!
Love Kat

Immortal Classic Masterpiece The Embrace of My Motherland Permeated with Noble Idea
Date: 07/02/2023 | Source: KASS (EN) | Read original version at source
Song The Embrace of My Motherland is an immortal classic masterpiece created by Chairman Kim Jong Il in August 1952.In the song, Kim Jong Il made clear an idea that the land glows under the sun radiant is the embrace of President Kim Il Sung.What is motherland? In the past, men of letters used to say that motherland is a native place where they were born and bred or a land where they have graves of their ancestors.However, Kim Jong Il clarified in the early years of his teens a profound idea that, for the DPRK people, motherland is precisely the leader and the embrace of motherland is that of the leader.Cherished deep in mind of Kim Jong Il who pictured future of the motherland even in raging flames of the war was the faith that the DPRK would win a sure victory and the conviction that its future was prosperous as it had Kim Il Sung.

Yonhap – N. Korea fires 2 short-range ballistic missiles toward East Sea: S. Korean military
February 20, 2023 ROK-U.S. News
SEOUL, Feb. 20 (Yonhap) — North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) toward the East Sea on Monday, Seoul’s military said, a day after South Korea and the United States staged joint air drills, involving B-1B bombers, in response to the North’s long-range missile launch.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the launch from the Sukchon area in South Pyongan Province between 7 a.m. and 7:11 a.m., and that the missiles flew some 390 kilometers and 340 km, respectively.
Hours after the launch, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that the artillery unit of the Korean People’s Army fired two shots from the 600-mm multiple rocket launcher during firing drills, and that they flew 395 km and 337 km, respectively.

The weapon system is a “tactical nuclear attack means boasting of the great might powerful enough to assign only one multiple rocket launcher with four shells so as to destroy an enemy operational airfield,” the KCNA said in an English-language report.
In a ceremony to “present” the 600-mm rocket launcher at a key party meeting in late December, the country’s leader Kim Jong-un called it an “offensive weapon” capable of carrying tactical nuclear warheads that could put all of South Korea within its range.
Some observers here noted that given their flight distance, the rockets fired Monday can reach a South Korean air base in Cheongju known to be home to the South’s F-35A stealth fighters. Cheongju is located 112 km south of Seoul.
The KCNA took issue with the allies’ stated plan to increase the “frequency and intensity of deploying U.S. strategic assets” to Korea.
The South’s military “strongly” condemned the North’s latest missile launches as an act of “significant provocation” that harms peace and stability not only on the Korean Peninsula but also in the international community.
It also called the provocation a “clear” violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and urged the North to immediately stop such provocative acts.
“Our military will ensure a firm response posture based on security cooperation among the South, the United States and Japan, and maintain a firm readiness posture based on capabilities to respond overwhelmingly to any North Korean provocations,” the JCS said in a text message sent to reporters.
It is rare for the South Korean military to mention security cooperation with Japan in a press message on a North Korean missile launch — a sign of Seoul’s move to strengthen bilateral defense ties in the face of growing North Korean threats.
The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command reiterated America’s “ironclad” security commitments to the South and Japan.
“The missile launches highlight the destabilizing impact of the DPRK’s unlawful (weapons of mass destruction) and ballistic missile programs,” the command said in a release, referring to the North’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
On Sunday, the allies carried out the air drills, involving the U.S. bombers and South Korean F-35A stealth jets, as the North launched what it claimed to be a Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) the previous day.
Kim Yo-jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, issued another sharp-tongued threat of “corresponding” actions against the allies’ military drills.
“The frequency of using the Pacific as our firing range depends upon the U.S.,” she said in an English-language statement carried by the KCNA.
In the statement, she also expressed displeasure over South Korean experts having raised questions over the North’s ability to conduct a “surprise” ICBM launch, its atmospheric reentry technology and other ICBM-related capabilities.
“We have possessed satisfactory technology and capability and, now will focus on increasing the quantity of their force,” she said. “They had better rack their brains to make measures to defend themselves instead of doubting or worrying about other’s technology.”
She added the North is “carefully” examining the impact of the deployment of U.S. strategic assets on its security, vowing to “take corresponding counteraction” if the move is judged to pose any “direct or indirect” threat to the North.
The allies are scheduled to hold a tabletop military exercise against North Korean nuclear threats this week and their springtime Freedom Shield exercise next month.

Keith Goldstein is a New York based street photographer who photographs his subjects in various locations in and around Manhattan. His images are candid portrayals of New Yorkers as he encounters them throughout the various boroughs of a city famous for its intensity and diversity. In the interview below I asked Keith how he got started, his style of working, his favorite locations and the equipment that he uses in his work. More information about Keith can be found at: www.keithgoldstein.me
How did you get started in doing street photography in New York City?
I got involved with photography in high school. I was always interested in art and was given a collection of photo magazines to draw from. Instead, I began reading them and became quite interested in this medium. After graduating high school, I spent two years at a small upstate college. I felt the need for more experiences and diversity in my education, my life, than what I was being exposed to there. I left the college I was attending and moved into New York City. I finished my undergraduate education at the School of Visual Arts. It was there, through instructors, friends, books, galleries, that I began to become exposed to many genres of photography.
Photographing the city just became a natural progression as I was living there and immersed in its culture. Back then what I was doing was not called “street photography”. The term, to my knowledge, wasn’t very much used then or not at all. I believe it was referred to as “urban photography”. It was sort of patterned after the term “concerned photography” as used to describe this genre outside of everything else – nature, landscape, portraiture, etc. It was also the term used to describe the work that the International Center of Photography was founded on.
What are your favorite locations for capturing street based action?
Any location that is readily accessible is my favorite! My main locations for photographing are generally around where I work, Herald Square. I work as a content reviewer for a large stock photography company, reviewing still imagery and video clips from the contributors. When given the time, I love exploring other neighborhoods, especially those of the other boroughs of Manhattan. Having a full time job, I do a lot of photographing on my lunchtime, and when going to pick up my son from school. During the weekday, I walk up through Times Square, Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea, or midtown. I try to mix up my walk everyday. You never know what you will discover. If I have to say a favorite location, it would be Chinatown and the surrounding area. Of any neighborhood in New York City, it still has the look and feel of what the city was like when I was a small boy growing up in the 1960s.
Are their particular principles of composition that you use in framing your photographs or do you rely more on spontaneously capturing the action or feel of what you are photographing at street level?
I do not adhere to any principles of composition or framing. My vision, my instincts, and my work guide me. I do not like to feel locked into visual principles, though I learned many as an art student. Rules and such are meant to be broken if one is to let their own vision, one’s visual style develop and shine through. I do notice in the work of others that they might stake out a stationary compositional element or area and photograph people as they enter those spaces. I just cannot do that. To be out on the street for me is to feel its energy, the spontaneity and the need to keep moving. Being out on the street is a physical experience for me, as well as a visual and intellectual one. Life doesn’t stand still. If a situation presents itself grab it because in an instance it will be gone.
Who would you cite as your major influences in terms of the practical and/or theoretical development of your style?
My influences are many. The books I read, artists and photographers whose work I enjoy looking at, or music – jazz, blues and world music. I am a big fan now of Robert Frank, but as a young photographer, I couldn’t really get into much of his work. William Klein profoundly influenced me when I discovered his work. I love the physical in your face attitude of his imagery, whereas Frank is somewhat more cerebral. I love the work of many Japanese photographers, especially Daido Moriyama. There are so many others, Atget, Max Pam, Koudelka, Winogrand, Freidlander … I could go on and on. As for reading and theoretical style, as well as his imagery, Nathan Lyons would be at the top of my list. The writings of Robert Smithson were an early influence when I was a graduate student as were the readings of Roland Barthes and other semiologists.
Music plays a big influence on my work. Jazz and blues mostly. It is what runs through my head when I am working. People become like notes and scales as on a sheet of music. Though when out on the street, I adhere to a kind of Zen philosophy of emptying myself of most thoughts and being open to my surroundings. It is easier to connect to people and situations on the street if I try to stay out of their way and just let things happen.
What are your preferences in terms of equipment?
I always prefer small cameras and try to be as unobtrusive as possible. Currently, my prime camera is the Ricoh GR. Small enough to carry no matter what other camera I might have with me. I also use a Fuji X100T, Leica M, or the Olympus Pen-F. Digitally these are superb cameras and give me less to think about on the technical side of things. I find them reliable, the optics superb, and allow me to customize their settings for easy control of any situations that I might encounter.
How do your subjects react to the notion of having their image captured on the streets in NYC – have you had any strange or memorable reactions?
I usually move so quickly and unobtrusively that subjects do not know they were photographed. I do not hide what I am doing, but I also do not want to intrude. There are occasions where I do ask, but as a rule, I adhere to not interfering. If someone does notice, I usually reply with a smile and say something flattering to diffuse any thoughts of unwarranted impending hostility.
Do you have a preference for working during the day or at night or do you enjoy both equally as much?
I enjoy working during the day mostly, though there are times I would like to explore subject matter at night. Having a family prevents me from this at this time. I hope in the foreseeable future that is something I can do.
What words or advice would you give to people who are interested in starting out in the discipline of street photography and do you feel it is necessary to have some formal or academic training to enter this genre at a serious level?
The only advice I could give to someone starting out in this discipline is to follow your heart. Do what you need to do and not follow trends. Your heart, head, and imagery will tell you if you are on the right path and whether that path is your own. I would recommend academic training to learn about history and what your place in the world might be. This is something I see that is lacking in a lot of contemporary work I look at. There is no connection to the past or furthering historical context to a new step towards the future.
We do not live in a vacuum. Everything we do, eat, read, affects us in some way that might not be readily apparent. When one thinks nothing has come before, even as some political leaders would have us believe, you are doomed to fall backwards. Society must advance forward for one to live fruitfully. Technology forever advances. What we do with it is important. Learn what has come before. Digest it and distill it into your own vision, your own future.

10 thoughts on “Keith Goldstein: New York Street Photographer – The Interview”
I really appreciated this interview as it gives invaluable insights into all aspects of your photography, and into you, the photographer. I especially appreciate that you just let the world and moments happen and don’t intrude. If there’s anything I dislike when I’m out and about photographing, it’s the subject noticing me, the photographer, and then the reality of the moment is gone. Snap. The opportunity to photograph has vanished.
You are incredibly talented, Keith, and your words back up the reasons why you are such an outstanding photographer.
Thank you so much Audrey. I don’t often get words of praise. I am very humbled and honored. Very glad that we have connected through our work and blogs.
You are welcome, Keith. I truly do admire your work and enjoy studying your images. We can always learn from each other, right?
Your world is so different from mine here in Minnesota. Thus I am seeing scenes I would not otherwise see. You capture the humanity of the big city in a deeply personal way. And maybe that’s what I especially value in your photography. You have a gift.
Yes. So true. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate our being in contact. Your voice and your blog are very refreshing. Two very different worlds we live in. What I love is our love of family history, reading yours, and exploring mine. History very important in my work. I’ve just begun to scratch the surface of my own family history over the last year. My motivation is doing this for my son, who is 9. I want hm to know his roots.
My love of diversity is why I live here. And yes, there are times I wish I did not! Watching my son grow up and his acceptance of people’s differences is wonderful. He is powerful humanitarian.
Thank you Audrey!
Great interview, Keith. “Do what you need to do and not follow trends.” I love this advice.
Thanks so much Lois! I am glad you enjoyed the interview.
Keith, your interview was very informative. I’m in a constant battle with myself to keep moving or stop and wait for the action to pass me by. Action seems to produce more spontaneous results.
Thank you for sharing the interview. Continued success with all of your photograph. As I’ve said before, I really like the Across the Aisle series.
Thank you Tim! Wishing you all the best as well. Please do not hesitate if you ever have questions about stock. Cheers!
Keith, you’re welcome. I will definitely keep in mind your offer of Shutter stock questions. Thank you.

A good interview to read – I was thinking about your photographs whilst I was out walking (in the Scottish countryside!) this afternoon, and pondering upon the idea of “professional”, that is earning one’s living from what one creates; and thinking that this wasn’t really necessarily an element in artistic value. Having enough experience to know one’s craft is very important to being an artist, and this part of the interview was very interesting, but the art comes from something else, I don’t know what, it is just recognisable in the work. What you say is honest, generous and revealing, and your attitude comes across so well in your photographs. Your son sounds a great person. So is mine – a bit older than yours, though! | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12378 | {"url": "https://keithgoldstein.me/2018/06/01/keith-goldstein-new-york-street-photographer-the-interview/",

HOA Communities: When Should You Contact an Engineer?
This article helps community managers, board members, and contractors understand when you can or should contact an engineer.
By Justin Bayer
When it comes to the reconstruction and restoration of HOA communities, the civil and structural engineers who make up a part of this niche market are accustomed to working behind the scenes. After all, there’s nothing high-profile and flashy about designing repair plans, pulling permits, or writing up engineering reports about potential issues within a community. Some recent, tragic events have flipped that script around and shone the spotlight directly on the engineering side of this industry. The collapse of Champlain Towers South and the even more recent failure of the Forbes Avenue Bridge in Pittsburgh have created an awareness into a topic that engineers have long feared was falling on deaf ears; deferred maintenance in our communities can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Clearly, these are extreme circumstances, and not every situation is dire straits when it comes to deferring maintenance and its impact on structures. That being said, the awareness these current situations have created can go a long way toward preventing catastrophes due to deferred maintenance in the future.
There are many ways that a civil or structural engineer can assist a community, and this article will aim to point community managers, Board members, and contractors toward some situations in which you can or should contact an engineer.
The most common way to engage an engineer is when your community is in need of a repair/reconstruction project. This would be for things like deteriorating framing of stairs, decks, and patios, as well as foundation issues, severe cracking, negative drainage, moisture intrusion, and a myriad of other similar issues. It’s always a great idea to start with engineering because this gives the community a chance to have their potential problems assessed by a third-party, independent expert. This allows for the community to get a report and/or design plans which can then be sent to general contractors to bid.
Another way to engage a civil or structural engineer would be for construction defect concerns. An engineer will often work with an attorney to diagnose issues with new build construction, which is then used in mediation or in court to fight for a settlement that the community will use for repairs. Once a construction defect case is settled, a community will bring on a civil/structural engineer to work with the Board to prioritize repairs (life safety, building safety, community concerns, and aesthetics). Once repairs have been prioritized, the engineering team will design the repair plans for general contractors to be able to provide pricing to conduct the repairs.
There has been an influx of requests over the last 7 months (and rightfully so) for facility condition assessments. This is essentially having an engineer provide a report about the current state of the building(s). The eye-opening tragedy in Surfside, Florida has led many communities to gain a new-found concern for the level of deferred maintenance that their aging infrastructure may have. An engineer will be able to provide a report that details the visible building systems and informs the community on when those systems should be investigated further. For example, let’s say the engineer noted in the report that the stairs are in a deteriorated state, and that this should be addressed as soon as possible. Now the community can work with the engineer and a contractor of their choice to further investigate the root-cause of the stair issue. Keep in mind, destructive testing is often the only way that engineers can truly see what is happening inside of something like a ceiling, foundation, staircase, or balcony. A facility condition assessment can give a community a reason to investigate further, which can assist with knowing which items suffering from deferred maintenance should be addressed, and in what order.
So, now you know a bit more about when to call an engineer, why it is a great resource for the community to have an engineering firm representing their best interests, and where the engineering role falls into place as it concerns reconstruction projects.
Let’s wrap up with some terms which you may see when dealing with engineers on your projects:
Civil Engineering – Civil engineers design, build, and supervise infrastructure projects and systems[1]. In this instance, civil engineering often refers to engineering involving the land surrounding a building, which includes drainage, grading, pipe networks, etc.
Structural Engineering – Structural Engineering is a specialty within Civil Engineering. Structural Engineers create drawings and specifications, perform calculations, review the work of other engineers, write reports and evaluations, and observe construction sites. A Professional Engineer’s license is required in order to practice both Civil and Structural Engineering. A license can be obtained only after completing a prescribed amount of education and work experience and taking a 2-day exam.[2]
Building Envelope – This term refers to the “shell” of the building, which aims to provide climate control, water and water vapor resistance, and protection from the elements. This term encapsulates the roof, foundation, exterior walls (including windows and doors), and insulation.
Value Engineering – Value engineering is the consideration of wide-scale, holistic, project-wide conditions to achieve the most cost-effective and functional design. Essentially, this term refers to ways in which creative solutions between the engineer, owner, and the contractor can save the community money and stretch those resources to be able to accomplish more.
Destructive Testing – Destructive testing is utilized to understand the cause of the failure of a building’s systems and components. This process involves taking apart a portion of a building to gain an understanding for how/why the material or system is failing, or to understand how it was constructed.

Book Review: The Empress Game by Rhonda Mason
On March 8, 2018 By K. S. WattsIn Book Reviews1 Comment
Kayla lost her home and most of her family in a bloody coup five years ago. Now all she wants is to protect her little brother and earn enough money in the blood pit to get him to safety among others of her kind. When a tall, handsome stranger shows up offering her more money than she could earn in a year, she’d be a fool not to consider. Except she doesn’t trust him.
However, when she discovers that the man they’ve been hiding from for the last five years is sniffing around her hideout, she rethinks her decision. She takes up the handsome stranger on his offer and agrees to play the role of body double for his friend in the Empress Game, a combat tournament to decide who will marry the prince. In exchange, she gets her money and a free ride back to her people, no questions asked.
The only problem is that the very man she is running from has shown up at the game. And is in league with the people she thought would be her salvation. Now she and her brother are in more danger than ever. Somehow, she has to hide from Scary McTraitorface, protect her brother, and pretend to be somebody else while competing in the galaxy’s most famous spectator sport.
I loved this. I don’t want to oversell it for you, so I’ll try to rein in my enthusiasm.
The pacing was great, the plot was exciting, and the handsome stranger romantic arc was the kind that kept me turning pages to see when sparks would finally fly. I burned through this in just a couple of nights, at the expense of sleep, I’ll admit.
The main character is from a race of beings where male/female fraternal twins are common and strong bonds exist between them. The females are taller and stronger physically, and make up the warrior class, but each has a particular internal need to protect her male twin. The males are smaller, but have strong telekinetic and telepathic gifts which they use to aid their female twins in battle. Kayla was not only trained as one of these female warrior twins, she was a princess on her homeworld. She’s a princess who has been taught since birth to unapologetically kick butt in a society that prizes her strength, agility, and tactical prowess as the very pillars of femininity.
Too bad that the enemy empire in which she is hiding out with her brother doesn’t value any of those things in her outside of the fighting pits in the slums–until the Empress Game. An agent of the special security force officiating the game helps orchestrate her secret involvement as she pretends to be the prince’s real-life paramour. Their interactions are volatile at best, but her telepathic brother reads the agent’s mind and informs his sister that it is in part because he is trying to hide a strong and ever-growing attraction to her. It gets even better when the agent finds out where she is really from and that his thoughts have been more or less on display to her. And not all of them were PG.
Combat, political machinations, betrayals, attractions, and spectators; oh my!
It was funny and heart-wrenching at the same time. It sets up the next book in the series well, though not as cleanly as I’d like. In any case, if you like females who don’t just say they can kick butt, but actually do and males who love them for it, this could be your ticket. It is the first book in a trilogy. I have not read the others yet, mostly because the ending to this one made me want to throw things–but in the best possible way. Maybe that only makes sense to other book lovers. Or maybe it’s just me.
P.S. If you’d like to know a little more about me, K.J. Harrowick interviewed me for her Winterviews series over on her blog. Check it out, and while you’re there, you can take a peek at the other posts in the series. There are a lot of fascinating people in the line-up.
Thank you for following whatever rabbit hole lead you here. This is a strange and wild land of book reviews, editorials, and a hodgepodge of facts. Come on in and sit a spell.

Polarization, USA
February 3, 2019 • By L. Benjamin Rolsky
Fault Lines
Kevin M. Kruse
WAR EBBS AND FLOWS around us according to the instantaneous rhythms of the internet, the updated status, or the carefully crafted tweet. In this maelstrom of information, “going viral” takes on a valence all its own as an image or news headline sprints from screen to screen, from tablet to phone to computer in narrative unison. While much of this machinery has produced admirable moments of accomplishment and cooperation, it just as often has incubated narcissism, misogyny, racism, and greed within the American electorate broadly considered. How did we get here? And why? What socio-economic, cultural, and/or social forces have produced such a divided public? For American historians Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer, our contemporary moment can be best explained according to the United States’s numerous fault lines: culture, race, gender, and technology.
In their new book, Fault Lines, Kruse and Zelizer do an admirable job of creating a narrative out of the chaotic events of the recent past according to the themes of crisis, consolidation, and polarization. Using the post-Vietnam crisis of legitimacy as their jumping-off point, the authors trace the country’s current divisive state through various periods of cultural fragmentation. In many ways, the Vietnam War abroad came home with a vengeance as American citizens came to see their government, its policies, and its representatives as corrupt and deserving of unrelenting scrutiny. Soon thereafter, the development of the personal computer, the VCR, and the audio cassette tape came along with the Reagan administration’s decision to eliminate the Fairness Doctrine. As a result, division coursed through the body politic as new content flooded the marketplace in ways unimaginable only a decade before. “The fragmentation created a world with fewer points of commonality in terms of what people heard or saw,” argue Kruse and Zelizer, “even as computing and cable technology emerged as the medium through which most people consumed their cultural goods.”
Compared to the fault lines of race and gender, the disintegration of a largely centralized media landscape laid the groundwork for how Americans would consume their news and entertainment for the foreseeable future — even if it took 24 hours to do so. From here, Kruse and Zelizer illustrate how Supreme Court appointments, accusations of infidelity, “compassionate conservatism,” and 9/11 further divided the nation along various lines of cultural fracture. What we learn from this analysis is that despite the electoral successes of Democratic presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the story that Fault Lines narrates is how such successes unfolded upon ideational terrain largely defined by conservative interests and agendas.
“Clinton’s move to the center on several issues — most notably NAFTA, welfare reform, and the crime bill — had helped the Democrats find their way back to the White House,” the authors contend, “but at the price of abandoning much of the progressive policy agenda that had long served as a core rationale for the party and a chief reason for much of its support.” If there is any meta-story or overarching narrative afoot in Fault Lines it is that American public life, and its operational terms, have been determined largely by those on the right from a variety of social and political vantages including advisors, speech writers, and strategists. While much of this work has taken place in the open on behalf of particular presidential candidates, the truly impactful theories of electoral politics have unfolded behind closed doors.
Citing a now-famous conversation between a reporter and a senior George W. Bush advisor, Kruse and Zelizer draw our attention to how conservative operatives understand the world of politics. For the senior advisor, journalists were stuck “in what we call the reality-based community,” and as such, “believe that solutions emerge from judicious study of discernible reality.” “That’s not the way the world works anymore,” the advisor emphasized, “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality […] we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too […] we’re history’s actors.”
By the time Barack Obama became the United States’s 44th president, the electorate and its various representatives had become so polarized that the idea of an agreed-upon “fact” had all but disappeared when subjected to categories such as “red and blue states” and the filibuster. Continuing this train of thought, Obama’s presidential successor, former reality television star Donald Trump, went so far as to take full advantage of such confusion by adding fuel to the proverbial fire when it came to the fault lines that divided the electorate. Kruse and Zelizer claim that the president’s behavior was “a stark departure from the recent norms of American politics and government,” yet in the very next sentence they observe the tactic of divide and conquer had been part of the conservative operative playbook since at least the time of Nixon’s “positive polarization.” Trump understood that in a media climate with multiple competing outlets, the lines between reality and fiction were constantly blurred “with an insatiable demand for content.” In this sense, the president has most certainly taken advantage of our socially mediated present, but he has done so by using the playbook of conservatives past by reducing politics down to “the social issue” in the name of cultural warfare.
In essence, Kruse and Zelizer have composed the standard work for those teaching courses on the recent American past and the forces of polarization that have produced our contemporary divided public. The book is most valuable, however, in its assessment of conservative mobilization since the 1970s and the ways in which such “narrowcasting” has deployed various forms of media in stoking the flames of cultural division as a form of electoral politics. In fact, Kruse and Zelizer could have foregrounded the culture wars even more in their analyses instead of assuming their existence as part of the socio-political backdrop of the period. As I have written elsewhere, historians and scholars of religion must begin taking these rhetorical tactics more seriously if we are to better understand how America’s New Deal consensus has been largely dismantled and replaced by a new economic covenant — one that valorizes the free market and private enterprise as the ultimate arbiters of social value.
The culture wars have never been simply about culture, but rather the ability to control the means of cultural production over a given period of time. Culture is not valuable for its own sake, per se, but rather because it draws our attention to power — specifically political power, in the public square. “I want them to talk about racism every day,” said former Trump advisor Steve Bannon. “If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.” Thanks to Kruse and Zelizer, we now know how and why this has worked from within our divided present, an age that pits citizens against one another seemingly in a form of all-out war. The big question remaining is whether we’re ready to deal with the sources of such manufactured anger on behalf of a republic mesmerized by political spectacle and consumed by a vindictive form of retributive justice.

Kinetic Blocks, A Pin-Based Shape Display Capable of Manipulating Objects and Building Structures Created by MIT
Kinetic Blocks is a pin-based shape display capable of manipulating objects and building structures. The display was created by the MIT Tangible Media Group led by professor Hiroshi Ishii, and it can be used in a number of ways demonstrated in a paper published by the group.
Besides its display elements, the device can also be used for input to read the location and orientation of objects, opening it up to a variety of potential interactive uses that the Tangible Media Group has only begun to explore.

Blue Skies West Review
Today I’m excited to bring you a Blue Skies West review!
Blue Skies West by Mattie Richardson is a historical fiction novel set on the Oregon Trail. It’s book five in the Horses in History series from Appaloosy Books. The stories journey through major events in American history, but with a twist – the narrator is a horse.
In this installment, the horse narrator is named Blue. He is beloved by his human family, and especially by his boy, Charlie. Charlie’s family decides to move westward and faces many challenges along the way. The Oregon Trail was dangerous!
The book begins with a map of the Oregon Trail. It shows where the trail was in relation to the modern day United States. From there, we jump straight to the action and adventure.
I loved the attention to detail. In one scene, the family is packing the wagon. Deciding what to bring requires a precise calculus. At one point, Blue the horse gets nervous about the weight of the load and asks his horse friend if they’ll have to lug all of that. It’s funny, but really illustrates the point that there were no cars, and the amount of belongings had to correspond to the strength of the animals. As the journey goes on, they have to discard some of their items to lighten the load.
I read Blue Skies West aloud to my 6 year old son. He liked the adventure and action in the story, and especially the parts about animals. We learned about the resiliency and grit it took to uproot one’s family and move them across the country. There is a great scene featuring a buffalo, which was a highlight for us both. Blue is faithful to his humans, and even puts himself at risk to protect them.
If you have a sensitive child, you will want to preview before handing the book over to them. There is a brief mention of deceased children at the beginning of the book. It’s accurate to the time period, but you may want to explain that people of the time did not have the same access to medical care that we have today. Some other characters do not survive the trail. Again, it is historically accurate, but could be upsetting to sensitive souls. Other characters are injured or become ill. While these events are sad, the descriptions aren’t graphic.
You can tell the author loves and appreciates horses. The descriptions of their movements are true to life. Large sections of the book are written as conversations, which makes it accessible to kids while still covering historical facts. It does not sound like a dry textbook at all.
Blue Skies West is a softcover chapter book. If used as an independent reader, I think it is most appropriate for ages 8-13. Kids who love horses or who are history buffs would love it! While Horses in History is a series, each title’s plot can stand alone. Blue Skies West was a fun read for us, even though we hadn’t read the previous books in the series.

IN DEFENSE OF SMOKERS
© 1999, Lauren A. Colby. Version 2.3
“In Defense of Smokers” was written ten years ago. To this day, however, a week doesn’t go by in which I don’t receive emails about. Many correspondents ask if anything has happened in the past ten years to change the conclusions I reached in the book.
Well, many things have happened. When I wrote Defense, the Internet was in its infancy, and I didn’t have access to many facts and figures which have become available in the intervening years.
In those years, a Dutch friend of mine, Kees van der Griendt, managed to compile some remarkable figures concerning smoking and life expectancy. Working with data from the CIA Fact book and the World Health Organization, Kees complied figures from 87 countries. His compilation, described elsewhere in this web site under the caption “Smoking and Life Expectancy”, shows that some of the countries with the
highest rates of smoking (Japan, Israel, Cuba and Spain, among others), have the longest life expectancies of any countries in the world. Clearly, if smoking was as deadly as its opponents insist, that wouldn’t be possible.
In 1998, the State of Minnesota brought a legal action against the tobacco companies, styled “Minnesota v. Tobacco”. The case never sent to trial but testimony was taken from experts for both the tobacco companies and the State. The experts stipulated that, although there had been many experiments with animals, trying to induce lung cancer by forcing the animals to inhale tobacco smoke, all the experiments had failed.
During the Clinton Administration, government grants were made available to various laboratories to continue with the animal experiments. Working with rats, especially bred to develop lung cancer, the experiments claimed to have induced larger numbers of tumors in rats which would always develop tumors anyway, by feeding the rats “tobacco specific” carcinogens in their drinking water. But all of the inhalation experiments continued to fail, and even the specially bred rats failed to develop any more tumors when forced to inhale tobacco smoke. Furthermore, the term “tobacco specific” was, itself, highly misleading. The carcinogens that were put in the drinking water weren’t unique to the tobacco plant; they were just nitrites, found in many plants and food sources.
In 2005, Mrs. Margaret McTear brought a lawsuit against the Imperial Tobacco Company, in England. She claimed that her husband had died from lung cancer, caused by smoking. The case was heard by a British Judge, Lord Nimmo Smith, sitting in the Court of Session in Edinburgh, Scotland. Judge Smith conducted a lengthy trial and heard large numbers of expert witnesses from both sides. Eventually, he issued a lengthy, 32,000 word decision. His conclusion? There is no conclusive evidence that smoking causes lung cancer.
Also, recently, there have been hospital studies showing that 60% of lung cancer patients were NOT smokers at the time their disease was diagnosed. But even that figure is too low because lung cancer victims from the “higher” non-smoking classes generally die at home, and not in the hospital. That was true of three friends of mine – all lifelong never smokers – who recently died from lung cancer, in their homes.
Unfortunately, the medical establishment in this country still clings to the notion that smoking is the principal cause of lung cancer. That’s a pity, because all research on the disease has come to a stop, in the mistaken belief that if only everybody would stop smoking the disease would disappear. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12397 | {"url": "https://lcolby.myvtoronte.com/epilogue.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "lcolby.myvtoronte.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:14:27Z", "digest": "sha1:S3DDTBHVEBIFXL6UCMJWUPLRBCP572BR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3570, 3570.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3570, 3713.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3570, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3570, 15.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3570, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3570, 223.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3570, 0.37463977]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3570, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3570, 0.01378835]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3570, 0.01309893]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3570, 0.01378835]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3570, 0.01585014]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3570, 0.16426513]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3570, 0.52144082]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3570, 4.97598628]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3570, 5.2130259]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3570, 583.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 59, 0.0], [59, 312, 1.0], [312, 505, 1.0], [505, 912, 0.0], [912, 1136, 1.0], [1136, 1558, 1.0], [1558, 2333, 1.0], [2333, 2854, 1.0], [2854, 3270, 1.0], [3270, 3570, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 59, 0.0], [59, 312, 0.0], [312, 505, 0.0], [505, 912, 0.0], [912, 1136, 0.0], [1136, 1558, 0.0], [1558, 2333, 0.0], [2333, 2854, 0.0], [2854, 3270, 0.0], [3270, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 22, 4.0], [22, 59, 7.0], [59, 312, 46.0], [312, 505, 33.0], [505, 912, 65.0], [912, 1136, 36.0], [1136, 1558, 68.0], [1558, 2333, 118.0], [2333, 2854, 84.0], [2854, 3270, 72.0], [3270, 3570, 50.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 59, 0.1875], [59, 312, 0.0], [312, 505, 0.0], [505, 912, 0.00502513], [912, 1136, 0.0], [1136, 1558, 0.00970874], [1558, 2333, 0.0], [2333, 2854, 0.01789264], [2854, 3270, 0.00492611], [3270, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 59, 0.0], [59, 312, 0.0], [312, 505, 0.0], [505, 912, 0.0], [912, 1136, 0.0], [1136, 1558, 0.0], [1558, 2333, 0.0], [2333, 2854, 0.0], [2854, 3270, 0.0], [3270, 3570, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.81818182], [22, 59, 0.10810811], [59, 312, 0.02766798], [312, 505, 0.03108808], [505, 912, 0.04176904], [912, 1136, 0.02232143], [1136, 1558, 0.01895735], [1558, 2333, 0.00903226], [2333, 2854, 0.04798464], [2854, 3270, 0.01442308], [3270, 3570, 0.00666667]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3570, 0.83695424]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3570, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3570, 0.43390131]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3570, -15.28819053]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3570, 94.23655153]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3570, 1.43200365]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3570, 34.0]]} |

Who Wasn’t Allowed at CES
One country and the companies headquartered in it were specifically prohibited from CES this year.
The 2023 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas began on January 5. 3,000 exhibitors from around the world presented new gadgets and devices, to a non-public crowd of attendees.
The event marks one of the largest hosted since the outbreak of COVID in early 2020. The expo hosted in January 2020 saw over 121,000 guests, which dropped below 44,000 the following year.
The ongoing war in Ukraine though saw companies based in Russia being being disinvited to the event on the grounds that it was not appropriate to promote their companies, while their government is engaged in a hostile war in Europe.
CES has instead opted to push several Ukrainian startup companies as a sign of support, with representatives wearing Ukrainian flag pins at the expo.
Why It’s News
As we previously reported, the 2023 show represents one of the largest audiences for CES, with over 100,000 attendees expected. This marks the first show since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic to see significant crowds, marking a return to normalcy following the lockdowns.
That return does not extend to Russian companies though, which are facing boycotts due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war is approaching a full year since the invasion on February 24, 2022, and no end is in sight.
The invasion has seen widespread boycotts and embargos on Russian goods and services. The U.S. and 30 other countries continue to hold sanctions against the country. These sanctions have affected the Russian economy in significant ways. Russian soccer teams were also prohibited from playing at the World Cup and the Euro 2022 competition by global football leagues.
Consumer Technology Association Head Gary Shapiro tells the BBC and Fortune that Russian companies, several of which reached out to appear at CES, were “not welcome” to appear.
Notable Quote
“We did not welcome them this year given the political situation. We just didn’t feel it was appropriate. It wasn’t a matter of legal policy for the United States, it’s a matter of our policy as an organisation. We said they could relocate to another country if they were interested … A lot of people from around the world want to support Ukraine. I know my wife actively seeks out products from Ukraine that she can order. And we have bought stuff from Ukraine directly,,” says Shapiro.

Regulators Struggle To Understand A.I.
The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) has meant that world governments are struggling to understand the implications of AI as a disruption tool and thus aren’t able to meet the needs of writing regulations for it.
The White House released a blueprint in October to address many of the core economic and legal concerns with new technologies, such as algorithmic racial bias, data harvesting, and automation.
The European Union proposed its Artificial Intelligence Act in 2021, litigating uses for AI that it deems high-risk and low-risk, but it hasn’t passed.
Both major proposals were written before ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022, which sparked four months of rapid innovation and demand for AI applications.
The Chinese government has similarly stated its intention to limit AI, announcing on February 24 that the Ministry of Science and Technology will be monitoring the safety and uses of the technology.
Smaller agencies like the New York City Department of Education and various financial institutions have limited uses of chatbots in specific applications. Still, national-level solutions have been limited, Bloomberg notes.
Meta Shelves the Metaverse … Quietly
After pouring billions into it, Facebook’s delve into virtual reality appears to be a secondary consideration after layoffs and poor sales.
Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook parent company Meta Platforms appear to be shying away from metaverse, maintaining that the service has a future but quietly shifting the core focus of the company toward artificial intelligence (AI).
On Tuesday, the company announced another round of mass layoffs, with 10,000 more Meta employees losing their jobs.
On March 3, Meta cut the prices of its flagship Meta Quest Pro products by 33%.
A report from The Verge that same day found metaverse users in the Horizon World’s virtual space only retained 10% of users as regular users.
The metaverse has consistently lost money for the company, including $13.7 billion in 2022, causing investor pushback in an October 2022 investor call.
A Bailout Eclipsing That Of 2008
The Federal Reserve has handed out hundreds of billions of dollars in the past week to avoid a banking crisis—one that President Joe Biden is eager to prevent from happening again.
According to the Federal Reserve’s Thursday report, the central bank lent $297 billion in emergency funds from Friday to Wednesday, in addition to $153 billion in lending against their collateral using “discount windows.”
The spike in loans marked the highest number of requests the Fed has received in decades, eclipsing the 2008 financial crisis’s $111 billion discount window and the COVID pandemic’s $51 billion, Axios reports.
In response to the ongoing turmoil, President Biden called for Congress on Friday to tighten banking regulations and impose penalties on banks “whose mismanagement contributed to their institutions failing.”

After an important surgery, Maria returns to her family home, in order to recover. Living with her mother, her sister and a newborn baby. While Maria’s body starts healing, a deeply hidden desire of hers surfaces. Maria wants to come close to the baby, and this creates a serious threat to the “safety” of the family home.

75% of Renters Have Been Misinformed

Post category:Buying Myths / First Time Home Buyers / For Buyers / Rent vs. Buy
Recently, multiple headlines have been written asserting that homeownership is less affordable today than at any other time in the last decade. Though the headlines are accurate, they lack context and lead too many Americans to believe that they can’t partake in a major part of the American Dream – owning a home.
In 2008, the housing market crashed and home values fell by as much as 60% in certain markets. This was the major trigger to the Great Recession we experienced from 2008 to 2010. To come back from that recession, mortgage interest rates were pushed down to levels that were never seen before.
For the last ten years, you could purchase a home at a dramatically discounted price and attain a mortgage at a historically low mortgage rate.
Affordability skyrocketed.
Now that home values have returned to where they should be, and mortgage rates are beginning to increase, it is less affordable to own a home than it was over the last ten years.
However, what is not being reported is that it is MORE AFFORDABLE to own a home today than at any other time since 1985 (when data was first collected on this point).
If you take out the years after the crash, affordability today is greater than it has been at almost any time in American history.
This has not been adequately reported which has led to many Americans believing that they cannot currently afford a home.
As an example, the latest edition of Freddie Mac’s Research: Profile of Today’s Renter reveals that 75% of renters now believe it is more affordable to rent than to own their own homes. This percentage is the highest ever recorded. The challenge is that this belief is incorrect. Study after study has proven that in today’s market, it is less expensive to own a home than it is to rent a home in the United States.
Thankfully, some are starting to see this situation and accurately report on it. The National Association of Realtors, in their 2019 Housing Forecast, mentions this concern:
“While the U.S. is experiencing historically normal levels of affordability, potential buyers may be staying out of the market because of perceived problems with affordability.”
If you are one of the many renters who would like to own their own homes, let’s get together to find out if homeownership is affordable for you right now.

Structural steels — Part 1: General technical delivery conditions for hot-rolled products
This standard has been revised by ISO 630-1:2021
ISO 630-1:2011 specifies the general technical delivery conditions for steel flat and long products (plate/sections/wide flats and bars) used principally for general-purpose structural steels. The steels specified in ISO 630-1:2011 are intended for use in welded or bolted structures.
The specific requirements for structural steels are given in the individual parts of ISO 630.

More about Madonna
It amazes me when I talk to people in their early 20s and they've never read the classics, things we read as children. When you don't have knowledge and understanding, then fear rises in you.
I know the aspect of my personality, being the vixen, the heartbreaker and the incredibly provocative girl is a very marketable image, but it's not insincere. You just can't take it seriously.
Every time I do a show, I die a little bit, but no shit is worth doing unless you're willing to die for it.
I pay attention to what's going on around me. I'm always looking for new energy, new talent, new voices. When you do that I think it's easier to come up with fresh ideas. It's not that my career has been based on surprising people, but it's been about challenging myself — to constantly do new things that are going to broaden my own mind and in the process, hopefully, connect with other people.
I could never be Queen Of America. I've pissed off too many people. I've got the queens of America on my side but other than that...
I always thought of losing my virginity as a career move.
I try to have thick skin, but every once in a while I read something that someone says about me, and it's so slanderous and moralistic and it has nothing to do with my music.
If you're not comfortable with a strong woman you're not comfortable with your own feminine instincts. You're not comfortable, period. You're going to be threatened by everything that's not exactly like you are... and that is the measure any man.
If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!
Some people out there think everything I do is a publicity stunt, they think when I go to the bathroom it's a publicity stunt.
She never had public favor; it was a bit like the Hillary Clinton thing. She did all the right things for her country, but she wasn't ultimately revered. So she had a conversation with her confidant-adviser. She asked him, when have they ever looked up to or idolized a woman? Only one, he told her, the Virgin Mary. So she said, Then I will become like the Virgin Mary, and she did. She created a facade for herself; she stopped having lovers; she became like a virgin. She became sexless, and painted her face in a white alabaster way, and turned herself into an icon that was untouchable and sexless, and then she had everybody's respect.
Hollywood is about playing the game, and I can't think of any successful actresses who didn't play the game. there's a lot more renegades in the music business, from Patti Smith to Janis Joplin.
No man can have sex with anyone but me and since I don't have that kind of time on my hands, you might as well all be gay!
I just like the idea of pills. I like to collect them but not actually take them. When I fell off my horse, I got tons of stuff: Demerol and Vicodin and Xanax and Valium and Oxycontin, which is supposed to be like heroin. And I'm quite scared to take them. I'm a control freak.
I wanted to be a boy when I was growing up because I was in love with all of the male dancers I knew and they were all gay. And I thought, Well, if I was a boy, they'd love me. So I got into role-playing then. That's where it began. I remember when I was still in high school, I had cut my hair off really short, and I was totally anorexic - I had no boobs - and I would dress like a boy and go to gay clubs and my goal was to trick men into thinking I was a boy.
I came to the realization that a strong female is frightening to everybody, because all societies are male-dominated — black societies, poor people, rich people, any racial group, they're all dominated by men. A strong female is going to threaten everybody across the board.
Everyone probably thinks that I'm a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I'd rather read a book.
The fact of the matter is that you can use your beauty and use your charm and be flirtatious, and you can get people interested in your beauty. But you cannot maintain that. In the end, talent is the only thing. My work is the only thing that's going to change any minds.
Fame is a by-product. Fame is something that should happen because you do work that speaks to people and people want to know about your work. Unfortunately the personality of people has taken over from the work and the artistry and it's this thing now that stands on its own. I don't think one should ever aspire to being famous.
I'm not going to compromise my artistic integrity.
I panic every time I put out a record. I think every artist does.

Watch Sean Spicer Eviscerate Anthony Scaramucci!
by Warner Todd Huston | Aug 15, 2019 | Politics
Anthony Scaramucci aka “the Mooch” has suddenly turned into the media’s favorite anti-Trumper, but former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer just perfectly described the turncoat as little else by “cat-nip for the left-wing media.”
Scaramucci, who was Trump’s press secretary — practically for just a few hours in 2017 — has been all over the left-wing media in the last week with his denunciations of President Donald Trump.
But Spicer dismissed Scaramucci as a meaningless flea on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” Daily Caller reported.
Spicer said that the hapless and helpless Scaramucci is a dupe who doesn’t even know that he is just being used to “create controversy” by the left-wing media eager to destroy Trump.
“There is this growing feud with Anthony Scaramucci and the president,” host Sandra Smith said before showing clips of Scaramucci attacking Trump and Trump’s response. She then turned to Spicer and said, “What’s going on here, Sean?”
Spicer then slammed Scaramucci as no friend of the president.
“I think what’s going on is Anthony obviously wants to express his view out there. I think it’s unfortunate that he is doing this because if he really was a friend of the president, he would confide to him in confidence what his opinions and concerns were and give him sage advice to help him be successful,” Spicer said slamming Scaramucci. “It’s catnip for the left-wing media to go out and use somebody like him to create a controversy.”
Next, Fox host Bill Hemmer asked if the rumors that Scaramucci was hard to work with were true and if some White House staffers were scared of him.
“I have not and never will be scared of him,” Spicer said chuckling. “I do know that it was a very rocky tenure. Obviously, it was after I had announced that I was leaving the White House, I do know that there was some concern about his management style, if you will.”
Spicer then slammed Scaramucci as a nobody and he will soon find the media uninterested in his blather.
“They are going to use him for their sound bite, to go against of the media, to go against the president now, and then they will forget him in a week. That’s that,” Spicer explained.
The Mooch started out opposing the President during the 2016 campaign then decided the liked him. Now that he was forced out of the White House after only eleven days, and wasn’t given a job in the WH months later when he begged to come back, he has turned against the President. Even so, that is a good thing, because the truth is, Anthony Scaramucci has absolutely nothing useful to add the national conversation of… well, of anything. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12405 | {"url": "https://lidblog.com/anthony-scaramucci/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "lidblog.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:12:38Z", "digest": "sha1:VELAUPIL32SKRMAYURRCLUJUK4HL2X43"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2695, 2695.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2695, 3997.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2695, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2695, 54.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2695, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2695, 317.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2695, 0.48134991]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2695, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2695, 0.02667893]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2695, 0.0275989]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2695, 0.02207912]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2695, 0.02483901]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2695, 0.01420959]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2695, 0.15097691]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2695, 0.50963597]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2695, 4.65524625]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2695, 0.0017762]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2695, 5.04171188]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2695, 467.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 1.0], [49, 97, 0.0], [97, 328, 1.0], [328, 522, 1.0], [522, 634, 1.0], [634, 817, 1.0], [817, 1051, 1.0], [1051, 1113, 1.0], [1113, 1554, 1.0], [1554, 1702, 1.0], [1702, 1971, 1.0], [1971, 2075, 1.0], [2075, 2258, 1.0], [2258, 2695, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 97, 0.0], [97, 328, 0.0], [328, 522, 0.0], [522, 634, 0.0], [634, 817, 0.0], [817, 1051, 0.0], [1051, 1113, 0.0], [1113, 1554, 0.0], [1554, 1702, 0.0], [1702, 1971, 0.0], [1971, 2075, 0.0], [2075, 2258, 0.0], [2258, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 6.0], [49, 97, 8.0], [97, 328, 34.0], [328, 522, 34.0], [522, 634, 16.0], [634, 817, 32.0], [817, 1051, 37.0], [1051, 1113, 10.0], [1113, 1554, 79.0], [1554, 1702, 28.0], [1702, 1971, 52.0], [1971, 2075, 18.0], [2075, 2258, 35.0], [2258, 2695, 78.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 97, 0.14285714], [97, 328, 0.0], [328, 522, 0.02105263], [522, 634, 0.0], [634, 817, 0.0], [817, 1051, 0.0], [1051, 1113, 0.0], [1113, 1554, 0.0], [1554, 1702, 0.0], [1702, 1971, 0.0], [1971, 2075, 0.0], [2075, 2258, 0.0], [2258, 2695, 0.00934579]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 97, 0.0], [97, 328, 0.0], [328, 522, 0.0], [522, 634, 0.0], [634, 817, 0.0], [817, 1051, 0.0], [1051, 1113, 0.0], [1113, 1554, 0.0], [1554, 1702, 0.0], [1702, 1971, 0.0], [1971, 2075, 0.0], [2075, 2258, 0.0], [2258, 2695, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.12244898], [49, 97, 0.10416667], [97, 328, 0.03896104], [328, 522, 0.0257732], [522, 634, 0.08035714], [634, 817, 0.01639344], [817, 1051, 0.05128205], [1051, 1113, 0.03225806], [1113, 1554, 0.01360544], [1554, 1702, 0.0472973], [1702, 1971, 0.03345725], [1971, 2075, 0.01923077], [2075, 2258, 0.01639344], [2258, 2695, 0.02745995]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2695, 0.96239716]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2695, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2695, 0.85272974]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2695, -65.20002551]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2695, 142.08032532]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2695, -170.7717687]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2695, 21.0]]} |
Donald Trump Vs. Pope Francis: HOLY WAR!
by Jeff Dunetz | Feb 18, 2016 | Faith/Morality, Politics
A holy war erupted today between Pope Francis and Donald Trump as the Pope suggested that Trump was not a good Christian. The Donald snapped back that when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS they will wish he was in charge and that the Pope was a pawn of the Mexicans.
Back on his plane to head back to Rome at the end of his Mexico visit a reporter asked the Pontiff about Trump. His answer was, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.”
These words may have been a response to Trumps comments on Fox Business Network last week, Trump said he didn’t think the pope “understands the danger of the open border we have with Mexico. And I think Mexico got him to do it because Mexico wants to keep the border just the way it is because they’re making a fortune and we’re losing.”
Not willing to let any attack go without retribution, Donald slammed the Pope, but carefully, reading from a prepared statement so he doesn’t cross the line (well by his standards).
BTW this is the same Donald Trump who questioned Ben Carson’s Seventh-day Adventist faith.
One of the best responses to this holy war came from Dave Weigel:
Will this hurt Trump? Come on get real! First of all the next primary is in South Carolina, not a big Catholic state, approximately 60% evangelicals. The Pope has little sway amongst evangelicals. Even if he did it wouldn’t matter. Trump could be caught in bed with a dead hooker and a live little boy and his supporters would still kiss the very ground he walks on.
In the end I feel bad for the Pope Francis, I don’t know if he realizes the hatred he has unleashed against himself. The Trump supporters have probably unleashed a barrage of condescending, nasty, and/or cussing-filled tweets at the Pope’s twitter feed. It will go on for days.
Please note: there is no Truth to the rumor that Donald Trump is threatening to sue the Pope claiming that he is not a natural born Catholic. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12406 | {"url": "https://lidblog.com/donald-trump-vs-pope-francis-holy-war/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "lidblog.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:05:53Z", "digest": "sha1:42NM6GEGLLKGBHUMZVR4PAJAF7GY5ZBT"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2070, 2070.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2070, 3249.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2070, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2070, 50.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2070, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2070, 310.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2070, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2070, 0.44217687]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2070, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2070, 0.02971498]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2070, 0.02040816]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2070, 0.13378685]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2070, 0.57104558]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2070, 4.42091153]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2070, 4.94910476]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2070, 373.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 41, 1.0], [41, 98, 0.0], [98, 364, 1.0], [364, 607, 1.0], [607, 945, 1.0], [945, 1127, 1.0], [1127, 1218, 1.0], [1218, 1284, 0.0], [1284, 1651, 1.0], [1651, 1929, 1.0], [1929, 2070, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 41, 0.0], [41, 98, 0.0], [98, 364, 0.0], [364, 607, 0.0], [607, 945, 0.0], [945, 1127, 0.0], [1127, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1284, 0.0], [1284, 1651, 0.0], [1651, 1929, 0.0], [1929, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 41, 7.0], [41, 98, 8.0], [98, 364, 51.0], [364, 607, 45.0], [607, 945, 63.0], [945, 1127, 30.0], [1127, 1218, 14.0], [1218, 1284, 13.0], [1284, 1651, 67.0], [1651, 1929, 48.0], [1929, 2070, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 41, 0.0], [41, 98, 0.12244898], [98, 364, 0.0], [364, 607, 0.0], [607, 945, 0.0], [945, 1127, 0.0], [1127, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1284, 0.0], [1284, 1651, 0.00560224], [1651, 1929, 0.0], [1929, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 41, 0.0], [41, 98, 0.0], [98, 364, 0.0], [364, 607, 0.0], [607, 945, 0.0], [945, 1127, 0.0], [1127, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1284, 0.0], [1284, 1651, 0.0], [1651, 1929, 0.0], [1929, 2070, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 41, 0.29268293], [41, 98, 0.10526316], [98, 364, 0.06390977], [364, 607, 0.03292181], [607, 945, 0.03254438], [945, 1127, 0.01648352], [1127, 1218, 0.0989011], [1218, 1284, 0.04545455], [1284, 1651, 0.02997275], [1651, 1929, 0.0323741], [1929, 2070, 0.04255319]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2070, 0.89134181]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2070, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2070, 0.02992934]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2070, -15.64993811]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2070, 66.36001577]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2070, -96.71387287]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2070, 20.0]]} |

What is Keto Diet?
From the folks at www.Heartlandfoods.com with comments from Dr. Kydonieus inserted as well. Stay healthy!
What the Heck is Keto?
Many people have heard of the term “keto,” especially with how it’s grown in popularity in recent years. Very few people understand every aspect of keto and what it entails. In key terms, you are drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.
The diet originated back in the 1920s as a way to treat childhood epilepsy and due to its striking success rate—people eating a keto diet experienced about 30 to 40 percent fewer seizures. It’s still used in that way today!
Is Keto Good for the General Healthy Population?
The ketogenic diet is super high in fat (about 80 percent of your daily calories), super low in carbohydrates (less than 5 percent of your daily calories), and moderate in protein (typically 15 to 20 percent of your daily calories).
The most important component of the keto diet is a natural and normal process called ketosis. Normally, bodies can run pretty well on glucose. Glucose is produced when the body breaks down carbohydrates. It’s a very simple process, which is why it’s been the body’s preferred method of energy conversion.
When you cut back on carbs or just haven’t eaten in a while, your body looks for other sources of energy to fill the void. Fat is typically that source. When your blood sugar drops because you’re not feeding your body carbs, fat is released from your cells and flood the liver. The liver turns the fat into ketone bodies, which your body uses as its second source for energy. Studies have even shown that the human brain operates more effectively and efficiently converting ketone bodies to energy versus glucose.
What About the Nutrients You Are No Longer Eating?
A drawback is that whenever you eliminate a large number of foods from your diet, it’s natural to wonder if you’re getting enough nutrition — or if you’ll end up with a deficiency of some sort. That’s why transitioning to a low carb, ketogenic diet can initially be so stressful. It’s imperative to supplement with nutrients essential for optimal mind and body functions. It’s usually best to get your micro-nutrients through natural, whole foods and use specific “whole-food” supplements like we use at Life Enhancing Wellness Center in Ruckersville, Virginia to support this lifestyle change. Dr. Kydonieus uses Nutrition Response Testing to design an exact Program for your body to compliment any eating style.
Dr. Kydonieus uses Nutrition Response Testing to find out what YOUR body needs and wants.
Additionally, natural, non-GMO food is what your body needs and YOU need to learn what choices will keep you the healthiest for the rest of your life. Regular check-ups by a Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner are vital to dealing with new “diets” and the polluted planet we live on things are always changing and you must learn how to change with them if you want to be as healthy as possible. Dr. Kydonieus is now even offering #TeleNutrition Sessions for people that cannot come into the office or live too far away. Email or call us for your #TeleNutrition Appointment today! 434-481-2012
Getting your micro-nutrients from whole foods will help you consume a larger variety of nutrients, fiber, and protective substances like antioxidants. Your body also absorbs the nutrients more effectively from whole foods.
One huge factor is that the food quality matters. The healthier, more organic, raw and preservative-free food usually contains more nutrient density or micro-nutrients. For example, grass-fed beef contains up to six times more omega-3 fatty acids than normal grain-fed beef.
So What Can You Eat on Keto?
It’s important to find out what foods you can eat on the keto diet, if the keto diet would work for you, and what you can expect if you ditch the carbs and embrace the fat!
A typical keto diet consists largely of:
Low-carb green vegetables
The Benefits of Keto
While the keto diet certainly is not easy, research shows it has some potential therapeutic benefits, in addition to its use for treating epilepsy. Here are some areas of research where a keto diet shows promise.
Alzheimer’s Disease: Research suggests that when patients with Alzheimer’s eat a ketogenic diet, cognitive function significantly improves.
Parkinson’s Disease: One of the key features of Parkinson’s disease is the abnormal accumulation of a protein known as alpha-synuclein. Research funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation has explored whether a ketogenic diet stimulates the breakdown of these proteins, reducing the amount of alpha-synuclein in the brain.
Multiple Sclerosis: In a small 2016 study, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were put on a ketogenic diet. After six months, they reported improved quality of life, as well as physical and mental health improvements.
Cardiovascular Disease: The keto diet may help improve triglyceride levels of both HDL and LDL.
Type 2 Diabetes: This population has been studied heavily with the keto diet since it’s technically as low-carb as you can get. Evidence suggests that an ultra-low-carb diet (like the keto diet) may help reduce A1C and improve insulin sensitivity by as much as 75 percent. In fact, a 2017 review found that a keto diet was associated with better glucose control and a reduction in medication use.
Cancer: Early experimental research suggests that the keto diet may have anti-tumor effects, likely because it reduces overall calorie intake (and circulating glucose) for tumor growth.
In addition, one of the keto diet’s main selling points and a primary reason it’s so popular: you can drop a lot of weight in a relatively short period of time. A number of studies have found that patients assigned to a very-low-carbohydrate diet had greater weight-loss outcomes compared with those eating low fat.
Keto For Weight Loss
Let’s look at some reasons why keto may work for some as a weight-loss tool.
Calorie Restriction: When you severely restrict your food intake by cutting out many categories of food, you’re very likely to lose weight.
Water Loss: There is some evidence that higher-protein diets like the keto diet do have some weight loss benefits, partially because both fat and protein are satiating so you don’t feel hungry, but also because of the loss in glycogen stores. Glycogen is the body’s glucose storage that is bound up with water, so when we deplete glycogen, you also deplete your water storage. Lose a ton of water, and you’re going to drop weight fast.
Appetite Control: In addition to the satiating capabilities of fat and protein, research suggests that the keto diet may help suppress the hunger hormone, ghrelin. For people who are always hangry, this is a really big plus!
From the early understanding of keto research and literature, it looks like we’re just scratching the surface on understanding some of the potential therapeutic roles of the keto diet. The reality is that there’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ model for diets and everything comes down to individuality. Each person is unique with highly individualized nutritional requirements. Find what works for you and stick with it! Give the keto diet a try and see if it could be the answer you’re looking for. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12408 | {"url": "https://lifeenhancingwellnesscenter.com/nutrition/what-is-keto-diet/",

Wal-Mart Shrugs: Pulls Plans to Build Stores in Washington, DC
Writing in the Washington Post on Tuesday, Wal-Mart’s regional general manager Alex Barron told Washington DC’s city council that if they voted to pass the Large Retailer Accountability Act (LRAA) his company would “not pursue [building] stores at Skyland, Capitol Gateway or New York Avenue” shopping centers and they would “thoroughly review” their interest in completing three other stores elsewhere in the district.
The LRAA was dreamed up by council member Vincent Orange, chairman of the Business, Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Committee and originally introduced earlier this year by council member Phil Mendelson. In its original form it called for large retailers (like Wal-Mart) to pay a minimum “living” wage of $11.75 an hour to its employees instead of the district’s current minimum wage of $8.25 an hour. It was designed to target Wal-Mart but it was later revised to mandate a $12.50 an hour minimum wage and would apply to any retail outlet affiliated with a parent company with annual revenues of $1 billion or more. That would then impact other retailers like Target, Nike, Apple, Costco, Macy’s and Home Depot as well. The new rule would apply to existing retailers already in place within two years.
Said Barron:
For almost three years, Wal-Mart has worked on a plan to bring new stores to Washington, and we are close to opening our first location in the city…
In November 2010, Wal-Mart announced a plan to bring more jobs, shopping options and fresh food choices to Washington’s residents. Just 12 months ago, we increased our investment – from four stores to six and from 1, 200 jobs to 1,800 – in an effort to expand access and opportunity to more underserved communities in the city.
The company invested heavily in promoting its plans, including an unprecedented Community Partnership Initiative, essentially a public service announcement which invited public feedback in response to its plans. It pointed out that Wal-Mart was not accepting any tax incentives, that the company planned to stock products from local producers and allow space inside their stores for local retailers, and create a job-training program open to the city’s residents. It also promised to support local non-profits with some of its revenues. As a result, a recent poll showed nearly three out of four residents favoring the additional investment in stores by Wal-Mart in the DC area.
But, said Barron,
Despite the consensus … about the economic value that our stores would bring, some members of the DC Council are advancing an eleventh-hour effort to try to undermine our efforts and change the way businesses like Wal-Mart must operate in the city.
This legislation is arbitrary and discriminatory and … it discourages investment in Washington… The LRAA would result in fewer jobs, higher prices and fewer total retail options [for consumers]…
As a result, Wal-Mart will not pursue stores at Skyland, Capitol Gateway or New York Avenue if the LRAA is passed…
The next day the city council passed LRAA, 8-5. Council member Orange retorted: “Washington, DC, is the hottest market, not just for businesses but for residents, and they have a lot of disposable income. I believe businesses are going to come in and get this anyway.”
This puts Mayor Vincent Gray in a bind. He has been actively promoting Wal-Mart’s investment into the district as part of his administration’s economic development plan. He expressed great pleasure at Wal-Mart’s Community Partnership Initiative, saying “this agreement represents an unprecedented citywide commitment from a retailer … Wal-Mart is showing what it means to be a good corporate neighbor…”.
But Gray is also running for reelection and passage of the LRAA leaves him with the option of vetoing the legislation and forcing the council to override it (it would take 9 votes to do so), or let it ride, and let his administration’s efforts go for naught.
One of the five council members who voted against the bill, Yvette Alexander, represents Ward 7 where two of Wal-Mart’s stores were slated to be built. She said she was “angry and upset” about the council’s intransigence: “This means back to the drawing board for Ward 7 … this is going to just about ruin two major development plans [in my ward].”
Wal-Mart’s decision would also drastically impact at least one of the shopping centers where it would have been an anchor tenant, Skyland. Said project developer Gary Rappaport: “If there’s not a Wal-Mart in Skyland, then Skyland is not able to go forward…”.
LRAA is not only foolish economically but discriminatory as well. As the blogger at Antiplanner noted: “Why is it that only employees of Wal-Mart [are targeted] and not employees of smaller retail shops, supermarkets, restaurants or other businesses?” In one phrase the blogger pointed out the economic foolishness of the LRAA and minimum wage laws in general:
Certainly $12.50 an hour is more than $8.25, but $12.50 times zero jobs is a lot less than $8.25 times 1,800 jobs.
Wal-Mart has built itself into the world’s largest retailer by serving customers. With gross revenues approaching half a trillion dollars annually and employing more than 2 million people worldwide, the company now has 8,500 stores in 15 countries. It scarcely needs to bother itself with self-serving, economically ignorant but politically correct politicians who seek their own ends at the expense of consumers. If Mayor Gray doesn’t veto the measure (or if his veto is overridden by the DC council), Wal-Mart will just shrug its shoulders and move on to other places where it can more freely serve its customers better.
Economist Mark Perry noted that the consumer rules, or should:
French economist Frederic Bastiat wrote almost two hundred years ago in the early 1800s that “It is necessary to view economics from the viewpoint of the consumer. All economic phenomena must be judged by the advantages and disadvantages they bring to the consumer.”
If we apply that profound, timeless economic insight to the DC situation today and consider the significant economic benefits that six Wal-Mart stores will bring to inner-city DC residents (everyday low prices for groceries, clothing, household and other consumer goods, $4 drug prescriptions, etc.), in addition to creating 1,800 new retail jobs and 600 construction jobs for workers, it would really be a politically-motivated “economic death wish” for the DC city council and mayor to drive Wal-Mart away from the District.
For Wal-Mart such a decision would merely be an annoyance. For those consumers, however, that decision would mean higher prices, fewer jobs, and a generally poorer economy. These are economic principles that even city councils cannot ignore.
Economy foolishness Frederic Bastiat Jobs low prices Minimum Wage Politically Correct politics profit Washington

Wine to the Wise Oct. 13, 2013: Mission Hill Reserve Pinot Noir
It’s no secret that there are hundreds of wine competitions around the world. Most of them only linger as a footnote on the bottom of a sell sheet, but a few of them make wise wine consumers and retailers stand up and take notice. About 2 weeks ago one such competition took place in London, England.
The Decanter Wine Awards are sponsored by the Decanter Magazine and if you don’t know the Decanter Magazine that’s okay but in terms of reporting on the wine world, for me, it is the best in the world. Granted it is focussed on what is available in the UK which means most of the wines never see the light of day here, however, its reporting and reviews are broader-based and authentic, I find, than those found in the American wine magazines such as The Wine Spectator and The Wine Advocate.
Back in 1994, the BC wine industry was in the back of the backwater of the wine world. Other than for a few visionaries such as Harry McWatters and Anthony Von Mandl, the BC wine industry didn’t mean anything to consumers or the worldwide wine press. That all changed when the Mission Hill Reserve Chardonnay won Best Chardonnay in the World at the Decanter Wine Awards. Within minutes of the announcement, the BC Wine Industry and Mission Hill catapulted to the tip of every buyer’s lips. Incidentally, the Award was presented by Steven Spurrier. Steven Spurrier gained renown when he coordinated and executed what became known as the Judgement of Paris where previously unknown California, specifically Napa Valley, wines competed and won against French wines as judged by French Judges.
Two weeks ago Steven Spurrier once again took the stage to present the award for World’s Best Pinot Noir. In so doing proved that lightning does strike in the same place twice as Mission Hill’s Martin’s Lane 2011 Pinot Noir took the award for the World’s Best Pinot Noir Under L15.
The Martin’s Lane 2011 Pinot Noir was launched in March of this year and the 500 cases or so was sold out by June, and from what I understand you can try some of the remaining bottles at a few restaurants around Victoria including Cafe Brio, Oak Bay Beach Hotel, Hotel Grand Pacific and 10 Acres.
As you can well imagine all of us retail buyers were immediately on the phone with their local Mark Anthony rep to try and scoop up any remaining cases and we were all sadly disappointed. However, I have one of the very best reps on the planet and she happens to work for Mark Anthony. Karyn Stewart is great at was she does because she understands and quickly plans to exceed her customer’s biggest needs. Karyn gave me a bit of wink wink nudge nudge and suggested the Mission Hill 2011 Reserve Pinot Noir.
Turns out the Mission Hill 2011 Reserve Pinot Noir is very similar to the Martin’s Lane. In fact, the Martin’s Lane is a Reserve of the Reserve and so close in flavour, texture and character to the Martin’s Lane, that a taste of it is a taste of greatness.
For those of you that enjoy a world-class wine for the sake of experience and in an effort to improve the quality of one’s life, this is a wise choice… while it is still available.

Anxiety Addendum →
The People in the Trees: Reading While Anxious
I’ve had some things going on in my life. Some major life things, or Life Events, or what-have-you. As a consequence I’ve been really, really good at not falling asleep, and fretting, and ruminating, and considering pro’s and con’s. I’ve been really, really poor at reading an entire novel. So between the start of March and now I’ve read things that made space for my fleeting focus (which isn’t to say these things don’t require focus, only that I was only able to muster focus for a fleeting period: half an hour in the bath, twenty minutes on the bus): Alice Munro short stories, re-reading for the hundred million-th time the Beverly Cleary Ramona series and starting and then dropping a sequence of novels that in another time would have had me captured (Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad is the most unlucky in the lot – I made it a third of the way in, put it down for a week of fretting, and when I returned could. not. recall. what I had already read and so abandoned the whole project. Even though I recognized in the first third that it was an excellent novel. I digress). A side question for you then is what do you read when you’re anxious? Or unable to focus?
So what brought be back to the realm of attentive reading? HANYA YANAGIHARA. I made something of a spectacle of myself last year in my raptures about A Little Life and continue to insist (to friends, family, total strangers) that this book is one of the best. And so when C. and N. suggested I read The People in the Trees, Yanahihara’s first novel, I didn’t hesitate.
C. and N. are wrong in thinking that The People in the Trees is better than A Little Life. To be fair it’s hard to compare them as they take such different narrative approaches and focuses (foci?), but much as I loved The People in the Trees I think I’m just a rabid zealot when it comes to A Little Life and nothing will persuade me that it’s not perfection. Which is not – at all – to diminish the brilliance of The People in the Trees. It’s great. Really.
The novel follows disgraced scientist Norton Perina as he recounts his memoir from prison, where he is serving time for the sexual and physical abuse of children. Perina’s story traces his discovery of a rare turtle on an isolated island that, once consumed, affords extraordinary longevity to the person who eats it. His narrative maps the consequences of publishing his discovery on the people and ecology of the island, as well as his personal fortunes and decisions that fall out from this pivotal moment in his scientific and personal development. (One of the interesting threads in the novel surrounds the extent to which genius is the product of hard work, chance, predisposition or a mercenary exploitation of the efforts of others. Perina’s reflection on how his arrival at pivotal moment of discovery is – almost entirely – accidental and the consequence of the labour and insight of others, offers up one lens for complicating the idea of the genius as inevitable and innate).
If the reviews are to be trusted, the question at the core of the novel is whether we – the public at large and the reader in particular – are willing to, if not overlook, then to put aside, Perina’s criminal and abhorrent behaviour in light of his significant scientific discovery. (It’s not as though we haven’t had occasion in recent memory to ask just these questions of artists and celebrities). Or perhaps not put aside, but allow the scientific contribution to stand on its own, and the biography and actions of the scientist to be considered separately. I’m not persuaded that this is a) the question the novel is particularly interested in and b) that this is a worth line of argument in the first place.
On b) The character of Perina is almost entirely repulsive. He is an intellectual fraud, selfish, incapable of self-reflection and growth, exploitative of opportunity, people and place for personal gain, and summarily violent in his engagement with the people and children of the island. I’m trying to find a redeeming quality (which is itself a fascinating question as the novel is written from his first person perspective, you’d have thought he’d have offered up something redeeming. Also fascinating that this reader could find him so repulsive and yet still find his narrative engaging. A masterful feat of narration to make the reader readily engage with a detestable protagonist) and the best I can come up with is that he displays patience and commitment to the scientific process (as I understand it).
On a) If it was just the way Perina is cast a morally repugnant (and physically gross – as if that matters) person, we might imagine that book is asking us to consider how a significant societal contribution (whether art, science, politics, whatever) stands separate from its creator. However [GENTLE SPOILER] – the narrative reveals the extent to which the discovery of the magic-turtle-longevity-thing is, in fact, the work of another scientist. That it’s just that Perina is willing to make this discovery public (whereas the other scientist, in deference to the people and place of the island, will not) that affords him the fame and glory of the ‘discovery.’ We’re left, then, with a scientific fraud who is also behaves in reprehensible and criminal ways. Leaving us without sympathy for his character, nor impulse to question whether ‘his’ ‘discovery’ outweighs his character.
Before this turns into a novel length post I’ll close by noting The People of the Trees puts forth a compelling plot, with some of the most fascinating narration I’ve read in recent memory, with complex questions about the sacrifice of the few for the many and the danger of blind or complete investment in Science and Progress. It is also a book that can pull you back from the brink when you’ve begun earnestly considering reading another John Grisham novel. And make you very, very glad that it did.

When I’m anxious I always watch episodes of Murder She Wrote. Hands down, this will make you feel better.
Ah. Good tip! Do you find you can read anything?
hmmm I struggle with this, I find watching tv (aka turning off my brain) is usually my best remedy for anxiety. But I guess it depends on the book-I could see Alan Bradley’s books being good medicine for anxiety as well 🙂 | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12411 | {"url": "https://literaryvice.ca/2017/04/14/the-people-in-the-trees-reading-while-anxious/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "literaryvice.ca", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:56:41Z", "digest": "sha1:EPFZFZHDJMPWJGBDJS4OKKESKF5ARXRP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6651, 6651.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6651, 12409.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6651, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6651, 135.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6651, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6651, 320.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6651, 2.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6651, 0.45231214]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6651, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6651, 0.02882276]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6651, 0.010481]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6651, 0.01590867]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6651, 0.01441138]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6651, 0.02096201]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6651, 0.03034682]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6651, 0.14812139]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6651, 0.4226087]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6651, 4.64608696]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6651, 5.43492105]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6651, 1150.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 52, 0.0], [52, 71, 0.0], [71, 118, 0.0], [118, 1299, 1.0], [1299, 1668, 1.0], [1668, 2127, 1.0], [2127, 3115, 1.0], [3115, 3829, 1.0], [3829, 4640, 1.0], [4640, 5524, 1.0], [5524, 6027, 1.0], [6027, 6068, 0.0], [6068, 6199, 0.0], [6199, 6263, 1.0], [6263, 6275, 0.0], [6275, 6381, 1.0], [6381, 6430, 1.0], [6430, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 52, 0.0], [52, 71, 0.0], [71, 118, 0.0], [118, 1299, 0.0], [1299, 1668, 0.0], [1668, 2127, 0.0], [2127, 3115, 0.0], [3115, 3829, 0.0], [3829, 4640, 0.0], [4640, 5524, 0.0], [5524, 6027, 0.0], [6027, 6068, 0.0], [6068, 6199, 0.0], [6199, 6263, 0.0], [6263, 6275, 0.0], [6275, 6381, 0.0], [6381, 6430, 0.0], [6430, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 52, 9.0], [52, 71, 3.0], [71, 118, 8.0], [118, 1299, 214.0], [1299, 1668, 67.0], [1668, 2127, 90.0], [2127, 3115, 163.0], [3115, 3829, 127.0], [3829, 4640, 131.0], [4640, 5524, 143.0], [5524, 6027, 90.0], [6027, 6068, 5.0], [6068, 6199, 17.0], [6199, 6263, 11.0], [6263, 6275, 1.0], [6275, 6381, 19.0], [6381, 6430, 10.0], [6430, 6651, 42.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 52, 0.0], [52, 71, 0.0], [71, 118, 0.0], [118, 1299, 0.0], [1299, 1668, 0.0], [1668, 2127, 0.0], [2127, 3115, 0.0], [3115, 3829, 0.0], [3829, 4640, 0.0], [4640, 5524, 0.0], [5524, 6027, 0.0], [6027, 6068, 0.0], [6068, 6199, 0.0], [6199, 6263, 0.01612903], [6263, 6275, 0.18181818], [6275, 6381, 0.0], [6381, 6430, 0.0], [6430, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 52, 0.0], [52, 71, 0.0], [71, 118, 0.0], [118, 1299, 0.0], [1299, 1668, 0.0], [1668, 2127, 0.0], [2127, 3115, 0.0], [3115, 3829, 0.0], [3829, 4640, 0.0], [4640, 5524, 0.0], [5524, 6027, 0.0], [6027, 6068, 0.0], [6068, 6199, 0.0], [6199, 6263, 0.0], [6263, 6275, 0.0], [6275, 6381, 0.0], [6381, 6430, 0.0], [6430, 6651, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 52, 0.05769231], [52, 71, 0.10526316], [71, 118, 0.12765957], [118, 1299, 0.02370872], [1299, 1668, 0.07859079], [1668, 2127, 0.05228758], [2127, 3115, 0.00708502], [3115, 3829, 0.0070028], [3829, 4640, 0.01109741], [4640, 5524, 0.02375566], [5524, 6027, 0.02385686], [6027, 6068, 0.07317073], [6068, 6199, 0.04580153], [6199, 6263, 0.09375], [6263, 6275, 0.0], [6275, 6381, 0.06603774], [6381, 6430, 0.06122449], [6430, 6651, 0.03167421]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6651, 0.68558937]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6651, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6651, 0.12962782]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6651, -226.11420878]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6651, 111.51711648]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6651, -399.34626991]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6651, 55.0]]} |
Tutor-Saliba retrofitted the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge a few years ago.
A foggy view of the bridge. This was a huge project, much of it occurring under water.

I loved the way the late afternoon light illuminated the inside of the steel structure.
The sunlight looked pretty good on the outside, also.
Overview of the project, from the Richmond side.
The bridge design allows for traffic to exist on two levels.

Tutor-Saliba has a yard in Fontana, California where machines of various functionality are stored for future projects.

The day I went out there was a particularly beautiful afternoon, enhancing these well-used machines.
We went up in a scissors truck in order to get the aerial perspective.
Sometimes the details are more interesting than the thing itself.
Another example of a piece of metal looking cool in the right environment.
Some welding being done in the yard, probably preparing something to be put to use again.
Welding is one of those things that create beautiful imagery.
I presume these to be leftover steel beams.

Is this legal in Maryland?
Colin Fera on October 31, 2021 at 5:49 pm
very handy gun, If they made this in a 460S&W that could fire 454, 45LC 410 etc I would buy this in a heartbeat.. Would also be nice to have a have a takedown option
Pete Bentley on October 31, 2021 at 5:49 pm
Beautiful gun I’d love to have one to take deer hunting with me,I got a nikon buckmaster 3/9/40 bdc here to put on one.my dads 93 now and a ww2 veteran of the Normandy invasion and the battle of the bulge.and he still get around good yet and here on my farm in Virginia he’s been using one of my 30.calber m1 carbines with a nikon buckmaster scope on it.its light just like this gun is and would fit him to a tee,and would be great for my grandson when he get old enough to go hunting with me someday.so I’m going to call my local dealer tomorrow and see if he can get me one,probably in the blue steel if its available of not I’ll try to take what I guess he can get me so wish me luck now!?
TotallyNotDelinquent on October 31, 2021 at 5:50 pm
I get a raging freedom boner from this weapon. I am gonna buy one of these suckers when I get the money…absolutely in love with it.
Thomas Leasure on October 31, 2021 at 5:52 pm
You never said how much it cost
ARRL Member on October 31, 2021 at 5:52 pm
The .45 LC/.410 handgun is not legal in CA. Is this long gun legal? Maybe in .45 LC only?
Is this thing safe to fire with your hand in front of the cylinder?
Other than those two issues, that thing looks pretty cool.
mike rotch on October 31, 2021 at 5:53 pm
Which one is ur favorite the blued or stainless
William Carroccia on October 31, 2021 at 5:54 pm
I own one and it’s a neat little carbine but suffers in the accuracy dept. this is most likely due when firing 45 Colt the projectile has to travel through the long cylinder before engaging the rifling in the barrel. At 50 meters it’s manageable for critters and I suppose deer but at 100 it’s best is 12” pie plate accuracy. This is irritating as it would be a sweet carry all carbine. I was using leverEvolution Ammo from Hornady. I think it may have some place in home defense though with a combo load of 410 buck and 45 colt as it is light and handy and certainly accurate enough for defensive ranges
Jo-E on October 31, 2021 at 5:55 pm
Which caliber is the best & most plentiful? I dont see 45 "long colt" very often unless you can fire 45 acp as well
Leslie Hoops on October 31, 2021 at 5:56 pm
How much $?

Tyler Mcdonald on October 31, 2021 at 6:02 pm
What type of rifling does it have what’s the twist rate and is it classified as a shotgun or a rifle
Richard Martin on October 31, 2021 at 6:03 pm
Is it a rifled barrel are Smooth Bore the shame they don’t make it in a 4570 with a 30 inch barrel and be nice
F ADAM on October 31, 2021 at 6:04 pm
I love it and I want it..still Awesome than single shot or even multi shot gun..

Cylinder gap?
John Thiessen on October 31, 2021 at 6:08 pm
Can you believe this hunting rifle/shotgun is classified as a restricted firearm in Canada. As if it were akin to a bloody handgun, or the “fully semi auto” AR15.
Such a sweet thing might get it anyway.

ABOUT what to the rossi circuit judge cost
zbudda on October 31, 2021 at 6:09 pm
If they made the judge in a 20 inch barrel, it would meet Russian civilian firearms regulations, promoted as a shotgun, and being smoothbore it won’t be classed as a rifle when using 45 long Colt. (Russian rules, a civilian hunter must have a spotless 5 year shotgun license history, before applying for a rifle license).
Kyle Polins on October 31, 2021 at 6:13 pm
Imagine that in 12 gauge 😍
rico H. on October 31, 2021 at 6:13 pm
Can I shoot +p through it????
Jim Jakosh on October 31, 2021 at 6:13 pm
Where is it made and what does it sell for Retail?
K S on October 31, 2021 at 6:13 pm
I get it if there’s a YouTube rule against it or something but given the title I kind of expected some kind of pricing info (obviously it’s going to vary but could give us the MSRP or something)
It’s just Me on October 31, 2021 at 6:14 pm
Can the stock be changed to pistol grip?
John Bergeron on October 31, 2021 at 6:16 pm
Will it shoot 45-70
robert robert on October 31, 2021 at 6:16 pm
How can you hold the fore stock for aiming without being burned by the clinder flash?
notsosilentmajority1 on October 31, 2021 at 6:17 pm
I have had the Circuit Judge for about 6 years now and mine is also blued. I can’t get over how freakin great this firearm really is. I thought it was sort of a gimmick at first but the thing feels perfect in your hands and the wood is beautiful. They are very accurate for the ammo that they fire and they look great also. These are inexpensive firearms that seem like you’re getting much more than you pay for. If you’re even considering this weapon…..go out and get it, you won’t regret it. I wish they had the stainless when I got mine but I am still happy with the one I have.
The Scots Lair on October 31, 2021 at 6:17 pm
Is the barrel rifled? dont know if thats a dumb question or not
FordTheKid on October 31, 2021 at 6:17 pm
This makes so much more sense than the actual Taurus Judge
Solar Flare on October 31, 2021 at 6:21 pm
Does it comes in 45.70 or 30 carabine?
Ls1 1980cutty on October 31, 2021 at 6:24 pm
Doesn’t it get blow out on the side onto your arm from the imperfect cylinder to barrel connection?
Mister J on October 31, 2021 at 6:26 pm
Sucks I want to buy this gun but can’t find it anywhere
Daniel Bryan on October 31, 2021 at 6:27 pm
any ideas on how to remove the choke for the 45 , i have the tool but the damn thing is really seized in their, and do i really need to if i want to shoot the 410 shells—–not concerned with patterns
Caleb Christensen on October 31, 2021 at 6:30 pm
Can y imagine this chambered in more calibers? How fun would that be? 357 mag, 38 spc., 45/70, 30/30, and nowadays with stuff like the 500 S&W, and 450bushmaster and 350 legend.
Joseph Edwards on October 31, 2021 at 6:33 pm
Now theoretically could you shoot 45/70 through this
Vlad Alexander on October 31, 2021 at 6:34 pm
is it a long gun or shotgun ?
Hammerheart Outdoors on October 31, 2021 at 6:34 pm
Thats a sexy looking gun. I became interested in the Rossi Carbines awhile back and found a buddy that had one for me to borrow. I did a video on it and I enjoyed shooting it, but unfortunately it was a youth model and it had a really short stock. The full size with the stainless steel and wood stock looks awesome though.
Celtic Dude on October 31, 2021 at 6:38 pm
Would be nice if it could take 454 Casull.
Mike d on October 31, 2021 at 6:39 pm
What an awesome gun. I just wish it held 7 or 8 rounds (or at least 6). If it did, i would have bought one already.
Panther Platform on October 31, 2021 at 6:39 pm
Do all 410 shotguns shoot 45 long colt shells?
Pippu Paladin on October 31, 2021 at 6:40 pm
I really want to see how Federal TSS patterns out of one of these, if it’s still lethal at 40 yards as it supposedly is out of other .410s | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12417 | {"url":

Ranking The Three Likeliest Suitors For Kawhi Leonard

After being eliminated in the conference finals, the Los Angeles Clippers‘ focus shifts towards Kawhi Leonard. The likeliest suitors for Kawhi Leonard are his Clippers, the Dallas Mavericks, and New York Knicks.
The Miami Heat is being reported to make a strong push as well. But with paying two max contracts already, it’s hard to see the salary working in their favor. The Knicks have cap space and a glaring need at small forward. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have an established MVP candidate in Luka Doncic and are looking for his co-star. In this piece, I’ll be ranking the three suitors for Kawhi Leonard in terms of least likely to most likely.
Least Likely: New York Knicks
As I mentioned above, the Knicks have a glaring need at Leonard’s position. Leonard would be the leader of a new big three alongside Julius Randle and RJ Barrett. But promising young talent like Immanuel Quickley and Mitchell Robinson are also reasons Leonard could want to join the Knicks. Last year’s seventh overall pick Obi Toppin, and two more incoming first-round picks round out the young core. The Knicks had the third-best defensive rating in their first year with Tom Thibodeau. Leonard’s a two-time defensive player of the year and would fit like a glove on that end of the floor. Out of all the suitors for Kawhi Leonard, the Knicks have the best young talent.
What isn’t working in the Knicks’ favor relates to Thibodeau. One of the things all suitors for Kawhi Leonard will have to consider is load management. In the last three years, Leonard’s missed 57 regular-season games. And most notably is coming off a knee sprain injury that caused him to miss the entire Western Conference finals. And in Thibodeau’s career, he’s had a history of overplaying his stars and not allotting them enough rest. The other reason the Knicks are the least likely option is their interest in Chris Paul. The Knicks are a top target for Paul if he opts out of his player option with the Phoenix Suns.
The Knicks are a team on the rise but aren’t quite what Leonard will be looking for. Leonard’s quiet demeanor wouldn’t be a match with the New York media. And for as talented as Randle and Barrett are, Leonard knows to win an NBA championship in 2021, you need another superstar.
Have A Good Shot: Dallas Mavericks
It all starts with the best player in the NBA under 25, Luka Doncic. Out of all the suitors for Kawhi Leonard, no team can offer a better superstar co-pilot than the Mavericks. Kristaps Porzingis is the biggest obstacle, as he has a max contract of 31 million dollars and has a strained relationship with Doncic. But the Mavericks have proved they’ll choose Doncic over anyone he’s got tension with, just ask Rick Carlisle. That said, Leonard has a good relationship with the Mavericks GM, and that could be one of the difference makers.
Tim Hardaway Jr is going to be a free agent in high demand, creating a need on the wing. Leonard’s defense would mask some of Doncic’s weaknesses on that front while Doncic continues to grow. I really like Jalen Brunson‘s game and think those three could cause problems in the half-court offense. Leonard’s physicality and rebounding would help a team that lacked a physical presence and identity a year ago. The Mavericks are without a first-round pick however and are a little short on depth.
Josh Richardson‘s shooting from deep has regressed the last three years. And Willie Caulley-Stein and Dwight Powell don’t scare NBA frontcourts. In order to be more attractive to Leonard, the Mavericks will need to improve their big man rotation and make sure there’s depth at the wing. There’s a good chance of this marriage happening, but not as much as there is he stays put in Los Angeles.
Most Likely: Los Angeles Clippers
Ultimately, I think Leonard will give it another go with the Clippers. His player option is for 36 million dollars, but he’d be able to sign a long-term deal if he opts out. The driving force behind this decision is how close the Clippers got to the NBA Finals this year. Paul George played like the superstar Leonard personally recruited to help win a ring. Although he did have those two missed free throws in game two, George stepped up when his team needed him to.
One of the components the other two suitors for Kawhi Leonard lack is familiarity. Marcus Morris, Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo, and Serge Ibaka all figure to return next year. There’s also reason to believe players like Luke Kennard and Terrance Mann to improve. The biggest name that needs to be re-signed is Reggie Jackson. Jackson carried the team in the playoffs alongside George, averaging 17.8 points on 48.4 percent shooting from the floor.
Leonard chose the Clippers over the team he won an NBA Finals MVP with. He chose the Clippers because he wanted to return to Los Angeles. And handpicked George to be his co-star which caused his team to lose five first-round draft picks! This year the Clippers came close, and with a healthy Leonard could’ve been in the Finals. Whether he signs for one, two, or four years is a mystery still.
[pickup_prop id=”7300″]
Time Will Tell Which Of The Suitors Kawhi Leonard Chooses
The latest Leonard can wait to announce his player option is August 1st. All three suitors for Kawhi Leonard have something different to offer. The Knicks offer the chance to play at Madison Square Garden and form a big three with Randle and Barrett. The Mavericks would give Leonard a dominant offensive phenom in Doncic to play alongside. And the Clippers bring familiarity and another chance to get over the hump. History has shown Leonard’s unpredictable and nobody truly knows what Leonard’s thinking other than him.

No. 81-6855.
United States Court of Appeals,
Fourth Circuit.
Argued Nov. 10, 1982.
Decided April 4, 1983.
Martin J. Barrington, Richmond, Va. (Hunton & Williams, Richmond, Va., on brief), for appellants.

Before HALL and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and HAYNSWORTH, Senior Circuit Judge.
HAYNSWORTH, Senior Circuit Judge:
The question for decision is whether the 1979 amendment to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a) has overruled this court's decision in Craig v. Garrison, 549 F.2d 306 (4th Cir.1977). In that case we held that when a pro se litigant files a notice of appeal that is untimely but within the period during which an extension of time might be granted pursuant to Rule 4(a), the litigant must be informed of the rule and provided an opportunity to establish excusable neglect.
Because of the 1979 amendment of the rule, several courts of appeals which had earlier applied the rule so as to reach results similar to that which we reached in Craig have held that they are now required to apply the rule rigidly and inflexibly even to incarcerated litigants proceeding pro se.1 Because we find nothing in the text of the amended Rule 4(a)(5) or in the notes of the Advisory Committee to indicate that the 1979 amendment was intended to overturn the result reached by this court in Craig, we are unable to disturb that decision.
In their action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1983, summary judgment went against these two Virginia prisoners. The judgment was filed on August 25, 1981, and the plaintiffs were notified that if they wished to appeal the notice must be filed in the office of the clerk of the district court within thirty days after August 25, 1981. Their joint notice of appeal was mailed on September 22 from the Virginia State Penitentiary in Richmond, but it took the Postal Service three days to get it to the clerk of the district court also in Richmond. The letter languished in the Richmond, Virginia post office for three days, or was misdelivered and remailed. It was received and marked "filed" by the clerk on September 25, one day after expiration of the thirty-day appeal period.
The plaintiffs filed no motion for an extension of time within which to file the notice of appeal, but then no one told them there had been an unexpected delay in the mail, that the notice had been received one day late and that a motion for extension of time was necessary or appropriate.
FRAP 4(a)(5) as amended in 1979 provides:
The district court, upon a showing of excusable neglect or good cause, may extend the time for filing a notice of appeal upon motion filed not later than 30 days after the expiration of the time prescribed by this Rule 4(a). Any such motion which is filed may be ex parte unless the court otherwise requires. Notice of any such motion which is filed after expiration of the prescribed time shall be given to the other parties in accordance with local rules. No such extension shall exceed 30 days past such prescribed time or 10 days from the date of entry of the order granting the motion, whichever occurs later.
The defendants emphasize the requirement of the amended rule that a motion for an extension of time be filed before expiration of the thirty-day extension period. But the requirement of a motion was not new with the 1979 amendment. The earlier version of the rule permitted informal application for an extension of time if made within the thirty-day appeal period, but required that it be made by motion thereafter. As the Advisory Committee observed in its note to the 1979 amended rule, "A literal reading [of the earlier version] would require that the extension be ordered and the notice of appeal filed within the 30 day [extension] period ...." But, in general, the courts did not apply it inflexibly, for it would have tortured sensibility to hold that judicial delay in granting the requested extension could deny the right of appeal. So, at least in the cases of indigent prisoners, the rule was applied with considerable elasticity.2
One of the obvious reasons for recasting the rule was the problem the court faced in In re Orbitec, 520 F.2d 358 (2d Cir.1975). In that case, a motion for an extension of time within which to file a notice of appeal had been made within the thirty-day extension period, but no notice of appeal had been filed. The district judge denied the motion for an extension of time, and there was a timely appeal of that order to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The court held that it was fruitless to review the order denying the motion for an extension of time since the absence of a notice of appeal from the judgment on the merits foreclosed review of that judgment, notwithstanding that a timely motion for an extension of time within which to file it had not been granted. The amended rule makes it clear that if there is a motion for an extension of time, the district court may act upon it after expiration of the thirty-day extension period, and that if the motion is then granted, a notice of appeal may be filed within ten days thereafter. The amendment to the rule would reverse the result in In re Orbitec.
The Advisory Committee in its note stated that the amendment would make it clear that a motion for extension of time must be filed within the thirty-day extension period. Indeed, what was implicit in the earlier version is made explicit by the amended rule, but there is every indication that the Committee's attention was focused upon the problem in In re Orbitec, which it cited in its preceding breath. Surely it was not intended to authorize the district judge to permit the filing of a notice of appeal after long delay and inaction. The requirement of a timely motion for an extension was the only thing upon which could be hung the new provision giving the appellant ten days after the order granting an extension during which he might file a notice of appeal.
Significantly, the Advisory Committee made no reference to Craig v. Garrison or the other cases wrestling with the problems presented when indigent prisoners, undertaking to represent themselves, do less than might be expected of experienced lawyers or, in particular, with the specific problem we face when the pro se plaintiffs have never been informed that there had been a delay in the mail and the notice of appeal had arrived one day late.
The explicit language of the amended rule would foreclose treatment of a response to a motion to dismiss in a court of appeals as a motion for an extension of time within which to file the notice. But the notice of appeal itself, in the circumstances of this case, implicitly contained an application for the extension necessary to permit its filing. One cannot discern any specific intention on the part of the plaintiffs to file a motion or to request an extension, but then they knew neither of the delay in the mail nor the need of a motion. There is no doubt, however, that the notice was a clear indication of their intention to appeal, and implicit in that is a wish to do and have done whatever was necessary to preserve and protect their rights. If someone in the clerk's office had informed them of the delay and of the appropriateness of a motion for an extension of time, there is little doubt but that they would have embraced the suggestion. Unless the notice of appeal is given such a construction, the rule becomes a trap for the unwary.3
We are admonished to be liberal and flexible in our application and interpretation of Rules 3 and 4. In a general note to Rules 3 and 4 the Advisory Committee stated:
[T]he proposed rules merely restate, in modified form, provisions now found in the civil and criminal rules (FRCP 5(e), 73; FRCrP 37), and decisions under the present rules which dispense with literal compliance in cases in which it cannot fairly be exacted should control interpretation of these rules. Illustrative decisions are: Fallen v. United States, 378 U.S. 139, 84 S.Ct. 1689, 12 L.Ed.2d 760 (1964) (notice of appeal by a prisoner, in the form of a letter delivered, well within the time fixed for appeal, to prison authorities for mailing to the clerk of the district court held timely filed notwithstanding that it was received by the clerk after expiration of the time for appeal; the appellant "did all he could" to effect timely filing); Richey v. Wilkins, 335 F.2d 1 (2d Cir.1964) (notice filed in the court of appeals by a prisoner without assistance of counsel held sufficient); Halfen v. United States, 324 F.2d 52 (10th Cir.1963) (notice mailed to district judge in time to have been received by him in normal course held sufficient); Riffle v. United States, 299 F.2d 802 (5th Cir.1962) (letter of prisoner to judge of court of appeals held sufficient). Earlier cases evidencing "a liberal view of papers filed by indigent and incarcerated defendants" are listed in Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 442 n. 5, 82 S.Ct. 917 [919 n. 5], 8 L.Ed.2d 21 (1962).
We approach our task of application and interpretation of Rule 4(a)(5) in that spirit. The rules have been greatly simplified and clarified, but there is still an occasion when liberality and flexibility in their application are necessary to avoid unjust and unwarranted exclusion of litigants from judicial relief intended by the rules to be available to them.
Of course, the Supreme Court itself has directed such a flexible approach. In Fallen v. United States, 378 U.S. 139, 84 S.Ct. 1689, 12 L.Ed.2d 760 (1964), a notice of appeal mailed by a federal prisoner from his place of confinement in Atlanta, Georgia on the eighth day after the imposition of his sentence was treated as timely though not actually received in the office of the clerk of the district court in Jacksonville, Florida until the fourteenth day. In the case now before us, however, we need not hold that the notice of appeal was actually filed in time; it is enough that we conclude that its presentation on the thirty-first day after judgment implicitly included a motion for an extension of time within which to file it.
If an informal letter to a judge of the court of appeals stating the writer's dissatisfaction with a judgment of a district court may be treated as a notice of appeal filed in the district court (Riffle v. United States cited in the note of the Advisory Committee), we have no hesitancy in construing this notice of appeal as including a motion for an extension of time, which is essential to the process of validating the notice.
We conclude that the 1979 amendment of Rule 4(a)(5) did not overrule or displace our decision in Craig v. Garrison. It is a viable precedent binding upon this panel.
The question of the appealability of the district court's judgment in the circumstances of this case was raised by a member of the staff legal section and referred to a panel of three judges. The panel arranged for the appointment of counsel for the indigent plaintiffs, and the case has been fully briefed and argued. There is no motion to dismiss the appeal, and we find it unnecessary to remand the case to the district judge who never considered the motion for an extension of time. Tardiness of the notice was so obviously caused by the delay in the mail that a compelling case of excusable neglect in not having mailed the notice one day sooner has been made. Since the matter is beyond debate, this case will simply be retained on the docket of this court, and we will proceed to a consideration of the merits.
K.K. HALL, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
I cannot agree with the majority's conclusion that the 1979 amendment of Rule 4(a)(5) did not overrule our decision in Craig v. Garrison, 549 F.2d 306 (4th Cir.1977). I dissent.
On August 25, 1981, the district court entered summary judgment for defendants and dismissed plaintiffs' complaint. Thirty-one days later, on September 25, 1981, plaintiffs' notice of appeal was filed. Plaintiffs have never filed a motion for an extension of time within which to file a notice of appeal due to excusable neglect.
The courts of our land are bound by Acts of Congress except when in conflict with the Constitution or other rare exceptions. Notice of appeal in a civil suit is generally required to be filed within thirty days of the entry of judgment. F.R.A.P. 4(a)(1). In Craig v. Garrison, supra, Craig filed his notice of appeal thirty-seven days after dismissal of his habeas petitions. Under former F.R.A.P. 4(a),1 we in effect treated Craig's untimely notice of appeal as a motion for an extension of time and remanded the case to permit Craig an opportunity to establish excusable neglect.
Thereafter, in 1979, Congress amended F.R.A.P. 4(a) to read as follows:
The district court, upon a showing of excusable neglect or good cause, may extend the time for filing a notice of appeal upon motion filed not later than 30 days after the expiration of the time prescribed by this Rule 4(a). Any such motion which is filed before expiration of the prescribed time may be ex parte unless the court otherwise requires. Notice of any such motion which is filed after expiration of the prescribed time shall be given to the other parties in accordance with local rules. No such extension shall exceed 30 days past such prescribed time or 10 days from the date of entry of the order granting the motion, whichever occurs later.
(Emphasis added). This language expressly requires the filing of a motion for an extension of time. As if the rule itself were not clear, the Notes of the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules provide that:
... The proposed amendment would make it clear that a motion to extend the time must be filed no later than 30 days after the expiration of the original appeal time, and that if the motion is timely filed the district court may act upon the motion at a later date, and may extend the time not in excess of 10 days measured from the date on which the order granting the motion is entered.
Under the present rule there is a possible implication that prior to the time the initial appeal time has run, the district court may extend the time on the basis of an informal application. The amendment would require that the application must be made by motion, though the motion may be made ex parte. After the expiration of the initial time a motion for the extension of the time must be made in compliance with the F.R.C.P. [Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this title] and local rules of the district court.
(Emphasis added).
Other Circuit Courts which have reviewed the effect of the 1979 amendments to Rule 4(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure under similar circumstances have abandoned the reasoning of Craig v. Garrison, supra, and have held that a motion to extend the time must be filed no later than thirty days after the expiration of the original appeal period in order for a court of appeals to have jurisdiction over the appeal. Brooks v. Britton, 669 F.2d 665 (11th Cir.1982); Pettibone v. Cupp, 666 F.2d 333 (9th Cir.1981); Wyzik v. Employee Benefit Plans of Crane Co., 663 F.2d 348 (1st Cir.1981); Mayfield v. United States Parole Commission, 647 F.2d 1053 (10th Cir.1981); Sanchez v. Board of Regents, 625 F.2d 521 (5th Cir.1980).2
The fact that the litigant is incarcerated and is proceeding pro se does not change the clear language of the Rule and necessitates a dismissal where the Rule has not been followed. Brooks v. Britton, 669 F.2d 665 (11th Cir.1982); Pettibone v. Cupp, 666 F.2d 333 (9th Cir.1981); Mayfield v. United States Parole Commission, 647 F.2d 1053 (10th Cir.1981); Meggett v. Wainwright, 642 F.2d 95 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1090, 102 S.Ct. 653, 70 L.Ed.2d 628 (1981). To alleviate the possible harshness of the rule in the context of pro se appeals, the district courts may inform the pro se litigant in the final order of the requirements of Rule 4(a)(5) and the consequences of failure to comply therewith. Cf. Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir.1975) (summary judgment procedure). Also, as suggested by footnote 3 of the majority opinion, all district court clerks' offices might screen notices of appeal for timeliness and advise the pro se litigant of the appropriateness of a motion for an extension of time.
When courts treat letters and other various papers filed by pro se litigants as the equivalents of notices of appeal, they are merely effectuating the manifest intent of litigants unversed in the law. E.g., Riffle v. United States, 299 F.2d 802 (5th Cir.1962). However, in my view, a bare notice of appeal should not be construed as a motion for extension where no request for additional time is manifest. We are bound by the language of the 1979 amendment and its requirement of a "motion filed" within the second thirty-day period at the latest.
We judges do not sit as legislators. It is not our function to rewrite the rules. We must take the rules as we find them and apply them according to their plain import. The 1979 amendment clearly requires the timely filing of a formal motion, and no motion was timely filed in this case.
Accordingly, I would dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Pettibone v. Cupp, 666 F.2d 333 (9th Cir.1981); Ryals v. Estelle, 661 F.2d 904 (5th Cir.1981); Mayfield v. United States Parole Commission, 647 F.2d 1053 (10th Cir.1981); Barksdale v. Blackburn, 647 F.2d 630 (5th Cir.1981)
See e.g., United States v. Lucas, 597 F.2d 243 (10th Cir.1979); Moorer v. Griffin, 575 F.2d 87 (6th Cir.1978); Alley v. Dodge Hotel, 501 F.2d 880 (D.C.Cir.1974); Bryant v. Elliott, 467 F.2d 1109 (5th Cir.1972)
The problem may not be widespread. Informal inquiry of personnel in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina revealed that that office maintains an appeals desk. The person in charge of that desk checks every incoming notice of appeal for sufficiency and timeliness. If its receipt is after the expiration of the first thirty-day period but within the extension period, the purported appellant is informed of the fact and told of the avenue for relief provided by Rule 4(a)(5)
The last paragraph of former F.R.A.P. 4(a) provided in part that:
Upon a showing of excusable neglect, the district court may extend the time for filing the notice of appeal by any party for a period not to exceed 30 days from the expiration of the time otherwise prescribed by this subdivision. Such an extension may be granted before or after the time otherwise prescribed by this subdivision has expired; but if a request for an extension is made after such time has expired, it shall be made by motion with such notice as the court shall deem appropriate.
Fallen v. United States, 378 U.S. 139, 84 S.Ct. 1689, 12 L.Ed.2d 760 (1964), cited by the majority in support of its "flexible approach," is distinguishable. It involved an appeal in a criminal case. Furthermore, the then applicable rule and the current rule provide in part that:
Upon a showing of excusable neglect the district court may, before or after the time has expired, with or without motion and notice, extend the time for filing a notice of appeal for a period not to exceed 30 days from the expiration of the time otherwise prescribed by this subdivision.

'Important signal': White House amplifies Biden praise of Trump booster shot
By Naomi Lim
President Joe Biden's name-checking of former President Donald Trump receiving his COVID-19 booster shot was a nod to his predecessor's hold on his base, according to the White House.
"It was an acknowledgment that the former president sent an important signal to many Americans about the importance of getting boosted," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday.

But the White House cannot "assess what that will mean, or how people will digest that, or if it will change their behavior if they were opposed to getting boosted or opposed to getting vaccinated," Psaki added.
"We certainly hope so," she said.
For Psaki, Biden's speech also reflected the president's belief "that the enemy of the American people is the virus and this shouldn't be a political battle."
"It doesn't mean we are not going to call out misinformation, or steps or actions that are being taken by any leader that we feel are detrimental to the health and well-being of communities around the country," she said. "But we can also call out actions that we think are positive and send a good message to people who may not be waiting for President Biden to tell them what to do."
Biden, who rolled up his sleeve for a COVID-19 booster shot in September, referenced Trump telling Bill O'Reilly he had gotten another jab during a White House address about the pandemic amid an omicron variant-driven case surge.
"It may be one of the few things he and I agree on," Biden said.
He went on to criticize "cable TV and social media" for pushing "dangerous misinformation."
"These companies and personalities are making money by peddling lies and allowing misinformation that can kill their own customers and their own supporters," the president said. "It’s wrong, it’s immoral, and I call on the purveyors of these lies and misinformation to stop it. Stop it now."
Trump's booster shot revelation last Sunday was met with boos from the crowd gathered in Dallas for the final installment of he and O'Reilly's live "The History Tour" interview show.

Potty Parity
Shelby Blessing January/February 2018
Architecture Center Houston explored many options for future gender-inclusive signage, including a poop emoji with Le Corbusier glasses.
The inclusive restrooms at Alamo Drafthouse Mueller in Austin provide a group sink and private stalls with signs that indicate the use rather than specify gender. Post-movie restroom wait times are minimized by allowing all building users to access fully-enclosed toilet stalls. Photo by Nick Simonite.
It’s time to reconsider the design of public restrooms. The last major change in public restroom design took place 30 years ago with California’s 1987 Restroom Equity Act, which prompted “potty parity” bills in many jurisdictions as well as changes in building code aimed at equalizing restroom wait times for men and women rather than providing an equal amount of square footage or number of fixtures. Architects crunched the numbers, revised the fixture calculations, and started providing more facilities for women in an effort to achieve equity instead of equality. Though this was an important step toward improving restrooms for all building users, it was largely a change in proportion and not configuration, and somehow women are still disproportionately waiting in line.
Meanwhile, three decades of societal and technological change have continued to affect how we use and think about restrooms. A 2015 Verizon survey found that nearly 90 percent of respondents admitted to using their phones in the restroom, which could be responsible for an increase in restroom wait times, and their exposure to fecal bacteria.
The estimated number of adults who identify as transgender has doubled since 2011. Fathers are increasingly likely to struggle with the dilemma of whether to take a young daughter into the men’s room or send her into the women’s room alone — and fathers have become much more involved in caretaking and are more likely to be single or stay-at-home parents. The instance of diabetes has almost tripled in the past three decades, and this might mean more building users are seeking the privacy of a restroom to administer an insulin injection. A slew of online dating sites and apps has resulted in more first dates between strangers and more would-be romantics who may need a private place to text a friend that everything is going great — or that they are in dire need of immediate rescue.
Restrooms are the most private of public places, and they accommodate a wide range of activities beyond the exigencies of gut evacuation and hairdo repair. According to a 1985 study that remains shockingly relevant, “Much of what we do in public bathrooms is what we must not do elsewhere but what we must do somewhere” (Spencer Cahill, et al.). Consider the following:
While most of these activities are perfectly acceptable, the last three (or at least two of them)1 tend to cause a fair amount of hand-wringing. Public restroom design is a delicate balancing act between privacy and surveillance, between our own desired modesty and the watchful eye we’d like placed on everyone else. We want restrooms to shelter us from all possibility of being seen, heard, or smelled as we go about our own business, and yet they must provide no hiding place for perverts or junkies.
Luckily for the hand-wringers, those undesired activities are already illegal in most public restrooms. We can design to discourage them, but perhaps we should be most concerned with what, and who, we are designing for. Architects have an ethical obligation to design buildings that protect the health, safety, and welfare of all users, regardless of political alignment or gender identity. Debates surrounding recent bathroom bills in several states have made it apparent, however, that not all building users experience the same standard of safety in our existing built environment. In fact, a 2015 survey found that one in eight transgender adults reported being attacked, harassed, or sexually assaulted in public restrooms in the previous year. While there are fears on both sides of the aisle, no similar statistics can be found substantiating the fears that justify maintaining the status quo of restroom design. Yet restroom design has hardly been a part of the conversation, which has mostly centered around the enforcement of existing gendered signage and the consequences of that enforcement to the safety of various restroom users.
In our debates over signage, we often fail to notice the increasing distance between the signifier and the signified. We identify restrooms with a generic person meant to represent either a man or a woman, but don’t discuss the fact that these two generic people are distinguished primarily by their apparel, in a world where a woman in a pantsuit could almost be president. Perhaps we accept these quaint, outdated symbols the way we accept the icons for clocks, notepads, cameras, and even phones on our smartphones — as skeuomorphs that still mean something to us despite their increasingly loose ties to our current reality.
The gulf between signifier and signified is even wider when we look at signage for “unisex” or “gender neutral” restrooms, where a private restroom for anyone is signified by the simultaneous presence of both the generic man and the generic woman (or even more confusingly, a franken-person who is half of each). Rather than informing you of what amenities the room might provide, the sign simply points out that the question of gender is irrelevant as you pass through this door, as it surely was when you entered the building in the first place. Social justice comedian Sam Killermann has offered a simple solution to this dilemma: a free, uncopyrighted, easily identifiable graphic of a toilet that is available for use on any inclusive restroom signage.
But if signage alone can’t solve the problem, it’s time to do our job as designers and design a public restroom that protects the health, safety, and welfare of all building users. Let’s sidestep the political debates and provide an architectural solution that allows both sides to win, including building users on either side of the aisle who we may personally disagree with.
The Alamo Drafthouse Mueller in Austin, completed in 2017, contains a prototype inclusive restroom worth considering and continuing to improve upon. Though this restroom was originally designed and permitted as traditional men’s and women’s restrooms, a major shift in philosophy came about during construction, as Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League followed the debates over North Carolina bathroom bills and saw an episode of Transparent illustrating the challenges faced by transgender individuals using gendered restrooms. League came to the conclusion that the old way of designing restrooms wasn’t good enough, and that it was time to try something new. Alamo Drafthouse architect Richard Weiss, AIA, was receptive to this new direction, having himself experienced the challenges and limitations of gendered restrooms while performing in drag as frontwoman of the Sideways Grimace, a Hedwig and the Angry Inch tribute band (which he formed in 2014 with the full support of his wife of 23 years and daughters).
Together, Weiss and the Alamo team developed two potential restroom schemes, which were released for public comment via the Alamo Drafthouse Facebook page. Though there was resistance from some Alamo customers who disliked change in restroom design or disagreed with the politics that motivated it, Alamo found overwhelming support for a proposed restroom option that provided more toilet stalls and shared sinks over an option providing private restrooms with sinks, finding that customers prioritized shorter lines over greater privacy.
According to Alamo Drafthouse Vice President of Facilities, Energy, and Sustainability Vivek Abichandani, the location’s general manager has noted that restroom wait times are substantially reduced compared to other locations, and cleaning is more convenient for staff members of either gender. Customer feedback on the new restroom design has also been overwhelmingly positive. Out of 80 online survey responses that commented on the restroom from March 2017 to August 2017, 60 were positive, 6 were neutral, and 14 were negative. Neutral and negative responses often reflected discomfort with an unfamiliar restroom design, but sometimes usefully pointed out specific opportunities to improve future gender-inclusive restrooms. Some users also requested amenities that were already provided elsewhere in the restroom, suggesting a need either for better wayfinding or more examples of similar restrooms that will provide familiarity with the range of options available.
AIA Houston Executive Director Rusty Bienvenue faced an entirely different set of challenges in seeking to create inclusive restrooms in the new Architecture Center Houston (ArCH). Motivated less by the impulse to include everyone in the restroom and more by the impulse to provide full privacy for individual users, Bienvenue sought to avoid the collision of sights, sounds, and smells that can occur in shared restrooms. Gender-inclusive signage was desired to ensure that the restrooms could always be fully utilized by anyone using the ArCH, which hosts regular Women in Architecture meetings and other events that may skew toward an uneven gender distribution.
Despite several rounds of plan edits in an effort to achieve a workable solution, permitting in Houston did not go nearly as smoothly as in Austin. Houston permit officials chose to stick to the strict letter of the IBC law, requiring that “where plumbing facilities are required, separate facilities shall be provided for each sex.”2 Ultimately, the solution was a workaround — individual single-occupancy restrooms designed for future adaptability, to be installed with gendered signage per today’s code interpretation but modified as society and building codes adapt to allow more inclusivity. Though the ArCH team explored many options for future gender-inclusive signage (including a poop emoji with Le Corbusier glasses), they ultimately arrived at a conclusion similar to Sam Killermann’s and the Alamo Drafthouse team: a simple toilet symbol that lets everyone know what is inside the room.
In many jurisdictions, Houston’s strict code interpretation may be far more likely to prevail than Austin’s leniency. Building code is often a reactive document, seeking to prevent future calamities after similar calamities have already occurred, and adjusting very slowly to the changing needs of society, culture, and the people it seeks to protect. But if the intent of building code is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of building users, it’s important that we work to adapt our building code to a more inclusive society that creates safe spaces for everyone. Luckily, change is already coming: The 2018 IBC and IPC include language allowing gender-inclusive single-occupancy restrooms to count toward required fixture totals.
The ultimate goal of all of these forays into changing restroom design is to provide building users with more options, allowing them to choose appropriate facilities that support their needs and keep them safe. Though the real dangers that transgender individuals face in many public restrooms are of most immediate concern, rethinking restroom design has the added benefit of providing more options for people with varying ability levels, caretaking needs, family structures, and health and hygiene demands. Moreover, allowing all building users access to available restroom facilities can greatly reduce and equalize restroom wait times, eliminating many of the lingering potty parity issues that all of our fixture count tables haven’t yet solved.
The next time you sit down to lay out a building floor plan, pause for a moment before you draw two side-by-side gendered restrooms, and think instead as a designer, about what else may better accommodate the needs of all building users. How can you support the full range of activities that may require privacy in a public space? How can you accommodate all users, including those who may disagree with or feel threatened by one another? How can you create a room that feels like a place of rest? How might you broach this conversation with a client and invite them to join you in creating a space that is one step more inclusive than the spaces we have today?

The federal government announced an expansion to the eligibility criteria for the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) to include many owner-operated small businesses
The program will now be available to a greater number of businesses that are sole proprietors receiving income directly from their businesses, businesses that rely on contractors, and family-owned corporations that pay employees through dividends rather than payroll
To qualify under the expanded eligibility criteria, applicants with payroll lower than $20,000 would need:
a business operating account at a participating financial institution
a Canada Revenue Agency business number, and to have filed a 2018 or 2019 tax return
eligible non-deferrable expenses between $40,000 and $1.5 million. Eligible non-deferrable expenses could include costs such as rent, property taxes, utilities, and insurance
Manitoba:
The province unveiled the Manitoba Works Capital Incentive, a new approach to tax increment financing (TIF) that levers incremental education property tax rebates to stimulate economic growth and job creation
A new or existing business interested in getting established or expanding in Manitoba may apply to the program if:
the business is prepared to make a minimum capital investment of $10 million to a specific property, which will be designated for tax increment financing benefits
a minimum of 65 per cent of total project costs are from private sources
there is demonstrable potential to create and/or maintain jobs in Manitoba, or the new business activity will have a substantial and measurable net economic benefit to the province
The Alberta government is providing new supports for hotels and other lodging providers that allow them to keep tourism levy amounts collected between March 1 and December 31, 2020
Amounts collected prior to March 1, 2020 that are being deferred under the previously announced deferral program can continue to be deferred until August 31, 2020
Accommodation providers are still expected to file returns throughout 2020, as required by legislation, and will be expected to resume regular tourism levy payments in 2021
Health and social service workers delivering in-person, front-line care will receive a financial boost through temporary COVID-19 pandemic pay
As part of a cost-shared program with the federal government, temporary pandemic pay will support people working on the front lines in B.C.’s health-care system, social services and corrections
More than 250,000 eligible front-line workers will receive temporary pandemic pay, a lump-sum payment of about $4 per hour for a 16-week period, starting on March 15, 2020
Eligible workers will receive the payment directly through their employer and do not need to apply
Northwest Territories:
The Government of the Northwest Territories is accepting funding proposals from professional artists in the Northwest Territories recovering from the impacts of COVID-19
Up to $3,000 is available to NWT artists or commercial film and media arts producers with lost revenues or whose activities are restricted due to physical distancing requirements
Up to $5,000 is also being made available to registered NWT arts businesses, not-for-profit organizations and collectives | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/12429 | {"url":

Rebuilding of Paradise Counts on HDPE Pipe
Nov 6, 2020 | Business
California Town Conquering Massive Conflagration
PARADISE, CA, November 06, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ — The rebuilding of the town here that was destroyed by the Camp Fire continues with a focus on the rapid replacement of water service lines. “When we’re done, there will be about 315,000 feet of new HDPE service lines,” stated Kevin Phillips, Town Manager for the Town of Paradise.
Prior to the 2018 fire, the town had a population of 26,000. During 17 days starting on November 8, 2018, the fire destroyed some 150,000 acres and nearly 19,000 homes and buildings.
The Paradise Irrigation Department is replacing all water service lines using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) PE 4710 pipe in diameters of one to two inches. The pipe, PolyFlex™ CTS potable water service tubing from Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (ADS) (NYSE: WMS), is resistant to rot and corrosion, can be easily installed and is consistent with industry specifications for potable water.
“This SDR 9 PolyFlex tubing from ADS is produced in accordance with AWWA Standard C901, and meets NSF 14 and 61 standards,” explained Camille George Rubeiz, P.E., F. ASCE, co-chair, HDPE Municipal Advisory Board and senior director of engineering, Municipal and Industrial Division of the Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI). “This means that the pipe is certified for potable water systems because it meets or exceeds the requirements for health effects in drinking water components, and also the performance criteria of plastic piping components as stipulated by NSF. PE 4710 compounds offer an excellent level of performance for trenchless and open cut installations. The PE 4710 HDPE pipe can be used with increased flow capacities plus increased resistance to surge events and fatigue. The ANSI/AWWA C906-15 standard includes PE 4710 for sizes up to 65 inches and recognizes the increased durability and reliability of HDPE pressure pipe used in water systems.”
After the fire, accusations were made that sections of burnt plastic pipe found above ground created benzene, which found its way into the Paradise water system. The Plastics Pipe Institute, the major North American trade association, investigated.
“These claims are patently false,” stated David Fink, PPI president. “There has been no evidence that plastic pipes are responsible for the production of benzene or any other contaminant due to the heating of the pipes during the Camp Fire. It’s clear that the contamination was from the millions of tons of the fire-ravaged environment that got sucked into water system.”
According to Phillips, “What the district saw was that the contamination from the fire was not associated with any particular pipe material and that even the galvanized and copper pipes that were in the ground saw the same amount of contamination as the polyethylene. There was a similar percentage of contaminated service laterals with those other materials as there was with polyethylene. So, we decided to continue to use polyethylene because of the ease of use and the cost being the best on the market. We felt it would be the best choice for the rebuilding of Paradise.
“This town was built during many, many decades. When they first started building it, the pipes in the ground were actually lead. During the boom in the 1950s, most of the pipes that went into the ground were galvanized steel. There were issues with corrosion so the district moved to copper pipe which, at that time, was the industry standard. Again, there were flexibility and corrosion issues especially with the acidic soil conditions. And so, the district finally moved to polyethylene because of the durability and made that our standard. We felt it would be in the ground for many, many years. Even after the fires, we found the buried polyethylene was undamaged from direct contact with heat. The issue we found was contamination in the majority of service laterals which served burned structures, regardless of material type so, we needed to replace those service lines. It (the HDPE pipe) also gave us the ability to come back and upsize those service lines to support the rebuild and meet with customers’ requirements for their meters and fire service. PE seems to be the best product to meet those needs. Seismically, it’s flexible and can handle the movement up here. It’s easy to pull in trenchless which makes it beneficial for the rebuild process.
“We felt the best form of protection for our service laterals was not the material itself but just putting in backflow protection to reduce the chance of contamination entering the system during a depressurization event. Again, we believe the occurrence of contamination wasn’t associated with the material of the piping, it was associated with the depressurization, contamination being drawn into the system and how long the system was disconnected to allow that contamination to adsorb into the pipe walls.”
Phillips estimates that the new Town of Paradise will take nearly 20 years to be back to where it was prior to the Camp Fire.
“It takes a long time to build homes,” he said. “We have had a huge surge of building permits issued in the Town of Paradise. There is a ton of pressure on getting new water service to those new rebuilds. And with polyethylene, it has created efficiencies so that we can get out there and get a service line in within an hour or two of that request. Once we get there and onsite it’s very easy to get in that water line because of the use of polyethylene.
“By use of the polyethylene and the ability for us to get it in without a lot of problems and be able to get it in the street and work around issues that might be there, such as rocks and other services that are coming underground. It makes the rebuild process and getting the water service back a lot easier than it would be if we had to bore through with a steel or copper (pipe). PE is our standard moving forward and throughout the rebuild process.”
Additionally, large diameter N-12® corrugated HDPE pipe from ADS is being used on several stormwater drainage projects in Paradise. These include the Paradise tennis courts and the Paradise softball field.
As a service to the industry, the PPI recently published its analysis of benzene contamination found at the site of the 2018 Camp Fire catastrophe in and around Paradise.

Guest Blog: Banks, mass debt, and monetary reform – the big picture goes public.
by mandyhager November 29, 2012 April 21, 2017
Today I’m posting an excellent – and very important – guest-blog from Simone-Louise Lalande, who has done extensive research into the banking industry and the implications for us all. It’s very comprehensive – longer than the normal post, but the links, quotes and references are just too good to edit out! Thanks so much to Simone-Louise for allowing me to post it. And if it riles you as much as it does me, then pass the link on for others to read.
Banks, mass debt, and monetary reform – the big picture goes public.
This is a blog about money. About banks, and about debt. About how our money supply is currently created by banks “out of thin air” as interest-bearing debt – except for the very small proportion of money that is distributed as notes and coins. It’s about why we, as a country, need to take this huge and nonsensical privilege away from the privately-owned banks – operating primarily in their own best interests – and swap to a logical system in which our government creates and controls 100% of our national money supply and spends and lends it into the economy – making effective use of 100% state-owned banks – for the benefit of our country and its people as a whole.
Why would a government delegate the power to create – and to a large extent control – its national money supply to profit-driven, private companies, thereby putting itself in the bizarre position of having to borrow, at interest, money it could simply have created itself, debt-free?
Why wouldn’t a country want a network of 100% state-owned banks – recognising, and harnessed to, the needs of the people, the greater good of the country – channelling profits from lending not into private pockets but into government accounts to be made available for public spending?
These two questions are not new. Down through the centuries, there has been heated political and public debate, mass protest movements, and wars fought over who gets to issue and control money. 100% state-issued money supplies, 100% state-owned banks – these two models are neither new or radical – right now and also looking back down through history, we can point to successfully implemented systems; we can see the obvious benefits. What is new, what isstrange and hard to fathom, is the comparative silence. The drying up of the public debate about money supply and about banking in recent history.
This issue of who creates and controls the money supply deeply affects the everyday lives of you and I, and everyone we know. It impacts on our communities, and on communities around the world. It impacts on resources – who owns them, who gets to use them, and whether they are used sustainably and ethically. It shapes our individual lives and it shapes our world as a whole. And yet most people know little or nothing about how money is created and controlled. About how ‘moneypower’ is created from our Money=Debt system. A system in which No Debt = No Money Supply. A system which actually requires us, as a population, to be in debt in order for there to be money in circulation. A system in which if we, as a population, paid off all our debt and started saving – as we are constantly being exhorted to do – the national money supply would dry up.
This is not a 30-second “sound-bite” story, but it is an incredibly important one.
If you are concerned about the cost of the Christchurch rebuild (around $4.5 billion of government spending committed so far), about sell-offs of wealth-creating state-owned or council-owned assets into private ownership, about losing New Zealand land to foreign ownership, about unaffordable housing and ever-increasing council rates, about child poverty and rising student debt and what this means for the future lives of young people, about retirement income and good care of the elderly, about having high quality education and health care available to everyone, about providing money for research and development, about reducing unemployment and providing good working conditions, about caring for our natural environment – our precious native habitats, about having good infrastructure nation-wide, about supporting a vibrant cultural life in New Zealand, about reinstating a non-commercial public-service television channel, and about providing everything else that’s needed for a stable, caring, prosperous and out-reaching society, then this issue of the national money supply – the private bankers gains and our collective losses – is something you’ll want to know about.
If you’re sick of hearing about the need to embrace “austerity measures” because of the global debt crisis, while private banks have received massive bail-outs, and while the global casino continues to stay open for the big-time money-junkies, read on. Then take the time to listen to and watch some on-line interviews and documentaries.
(Scroll down for the website links of on-line video and audio interviews, and documentaries – all available to stream for free.)
There’s plenty of light at the end of the dark economic tunnel, the debt-tunnel, if we make some much-needed changes to our underlying economic structures. And there are plenty of thinkers and leaders – including reform-advocating economists, academics, journalists, authors, film-makers, political leaders, and former high-flying financial sector insiders turned whistle-blowers – who have paved the way in the past or who are leading the way today on this issue.
And an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report has come out recently that gives a big fat tick to getting rid of bank-created debt-money and replacing it with government-created debt-free money. This report potentially represents a huge turnaround in IMF thinking; a belated recognition that the current debt-mate situation (to borrow from chess) is globally unworkable – no way forward, no way back – and it’s time to tip the board over and start again with fresh strategies. (Learn more about this IMF report at: http://www.positivemoney.org.uk/2012/08/imf-working-paper-offers-supports-full-reserve-banking/ )
The monetary reform debate has well and truly started up again. It’s a rising international tide of informed opinion with a strong history behind it, and a wave of new books, films, interviews, seminars etc. in the forefront. It is a debate that is not easily dismissed by anyone with half a brain and it seems to be reaching the ears of some key decision makers. So there’s good reason to feel optimistic and empowered as you read through this blog and check out the audio and video links, even as you see and hear things that might shock or anger you.
Unlike in the USA, where the so-called “Federal Reserve” is actually privately-owned and itself holds trillions of dollars of US government debt, we here in New Zealand – with our Reserve Bank already an arm of government and with Kiwibank well established (although currently not 100% state-owned) – are in a good position to jump-start a better economic future, with monetary reform as the logical first step.
Banks create money “out of thin air” with a simple computer entry each time they make a loan to a customer. This newly conjured up interest-bearing“debt-money” (which could be, say, a mortgage loan or an overdraft or credit card debt) has not been “earned” in any way by the banks and is backed by only a minimal or “fractional” percentage of actual bank assets held in reserve. (Hence the government guarantees, and the bail-outs when these privately-owned businesses face self-inflicted insolvency). The massive privilege this “fractional reserve” banking system bestows on private banks is at the centre of the call for monetary reform. It has been the pumping heart of a Western financial system that has increasingly put more and more ‘moneypower’ into the hands of fewer and fewer people – and hence more and more political power, to the detriment of people and planet – until we have now reached a situation which is globally unsustainable, a breakdown situation. Along the way, as one American speaker calling for urgent monetary reform puts it: “…millions have died, billions have been harmed, and trillions have been looted…”
The huge problems created because of the use, and misuse, of the “fractional reserve” system of creating a debt-based money supply – and the obvious solutions to these problems – are right there in front of our eyes but are not clearly visible to the vast majority of us. Most of us just don’t have – have never been given – the knowledge to make the connections between this system and the current global financial crisis. We don’t know how it links to the cyclic boom/bust economy, or even to our personal economic circumstances. But people are now gaining that knowledge.
This blog is about giving New Zealanders a “starter-kit” of information – to help join the dots and reveal the big picture. To bring the issues into sharper focus so people can see what’s really been going on and what needs to be changed, by us, the people, using our voices.
Please forward this information to your family, to your friends, to your colleagues, to all your networks etc. Share what you are learning. Add your voice to the call for positive reform in the way our money supply is created and controlled, and encourage those you know to do the same. Help this important information to go right around New Zealand as fast as possible. Help get more people in New Zealand thinking, and talking, and questioning – taking a good, hard look at this issue of money creation and control, of ‘moneypower’, in the past, right now, and into the future – and calling on our political representatives to make the policy changes that will provide a much better future for New Zealand. A richer future. Literally. And a fairer and more sustainable future.
New Zealand is a small country with a small population but we can certainly be in the forefront of an international change for the better. We can take a stand. We’ve done it before – think about women’s suffrage (the first nation in the world to give women the vote), our anti-apartheid stand, and our anti-nuclear stand. We can do it again. We can lift the heavy yoke of debt-money off of our shoulders. We can say no to the bankers, and yes to the people of Aotearoa/ New Zealand.
The website links follow, but first, here are some relevant quotes:
“The process by which money comes into existence is thoroughly misunderstood, and for good reason: it has been the focus of a highly sophisticated and long-term disinformation campaign that permeates academia, media and publishing. The complexity of the subject has been intentionally exploited to keep its mysteries hidden. [The late American industrialist] Henry Ford said it best: ‘It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.’” – Reed Simpson, banker and developer, in his foreword to the 2012 edition of the book The Web of Debt written by American lawyer Ellen Hodgson Brown.
“… [M]y sense is that monetary reformers attach far too much importance to money and measures of it – they certainly put far more weight on it than we central bankers do…” – the (then) Head of Financial Markets, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, speaking at a Victoria University debate on New Zealand Banking Reform, in August 2001, Wellington.
Economist/academic Steve Keen (Australia), writing in his book Debunking Economics, the naked emperor dethroned? : “It may astonish non-economists to learn that conventionally trained economists ignore the role of credit and private debt in the economy – and frankly, it is astonishing. But it is the truth… An economic theory that ignores the role of money and debt in a market economy cannot possibly make sense of the complex, monetary, credit-based economy in which we live. Yet that is the theory that has dominated economics for the last half-century. If the market economy is to have a future, this widely believed but inherently delusional model has to be jettisoned.”
NZ-based reformist-economist Raf Manji, speaking in a radio interview with Kim Hill, on Radio NZ National, on November 12, 2011: “The government bond requirement for next year [2012] is going to be around $13.5 billion. The New Zealand Debt Management Office will issue those bonds. That is going to cost the taxpayer between $600million and $700million a year in interest. It’s absolutely unnecessary. The government can actually create that money itself. It does not need to borrow the money. That is really the key issue. People assume that when they go to the bank to borrow money, that they are borrowing it from someone else. Well, they’re not…. It’s simply a bookkeeping entry… If government spending is thirty to forty percent of the economy, it’s ludicrous that we borrow that [bank-created] money and then pay interest on it. I think that government debt at the moment is about $70billion. We’re paying $4billion a year for no reason… If we go down the current road, we will end up in a situation like Iceland; we will end up in a situation like Greece; we will end up in a situation like Italy…The main problem is the interest.” [Manji was formerly a London-based currency trader with investment banking giant Merrill Lynch where our current prime minister, John Key, had a management role from 1995-2001.]
From the 2011 book The Courageous State – Rethinking economics, society and the role of government , by UK reformist economist Richard Murphy: “[T]he state can create money. Why this is considered shocking in a modern economy is hard to imagine: banks do it every day, which is how they have ended up creating 97% of all the money in circulation… [T]hey literally conjure that money out of thin air. No-one expresses horror at privately owned banks doing this, and yet the idea that the state might create money in the same way is considered abhorrent, precisely because, I suspect, this would challenge the enormous monopoly profits private banks make from this exercise…
…[T]he process known as quantitative easing [some call it ‘governments printing money’]… wholly inappropriately profits those private banks [which actually provide the money] while not delivering the benefit the economy needs at the low cost that is appropriate.”
Murphy – “The #1 economics blogger in the UK.” – is also an accountant, and founder of the Tax Justice Network, which works against tax havens/secrecy jurisdictions. He also writes:
“…[A] few notable exceptions such as Steve Keen apart, economists have either not noticed that they have got their maths wrong, or they have persuaded themselves and their students and the Treasury departments of every government of any significance around the world that they are right despite the errors their models include… One is to ponder whether this whole edifice of [neoliberal] economic theory is in fact a purely political construct that lacks intellectual merit because it entirely lacks the objectivity that the neoliberal economists claim for it. I certainly think that possible. In fact, I would call it a giant con trick…”
[And:] “…[A] shared neoliberal belief [is] that government is inept, the market works… [and ‘markets always know best’]… and that anything and everything that can be done to deliver the services of the state through the mechanisms of the market is of benefit… [T]his policy of transferring the processes of the state to the private sector with the intent that they should never be reclaimed can be argued to have been undertaken over a thirty-year period which appears to have been almost uninterrupted by such niceties as the democratic process.”
From the 2009 book Keynes – the Return of the Master, by UK emeritus professor of political economy, Robert Skidelsky: “… [T]he root cause of the present [global financial] crisis lies in the intellectual failure of economics. It was the wrong ideas of economists which legitimized the deregulation of finance, and it was the deregulation of finance which led to the credit explosion which collapsed into the credit crunch. It is hard to convey the harm done by the recently dominant school of New Classical [neoclassical/neoliberal] economics. Rarely in history can such powerful minds have devoted themselves to such strange ideas… The practices of bankers, regulators and governments, however egregious, can be traced back to the ideas of economists and [political] philosophers.” [Skidelsky is the leading biographer of renowned British economist John Maynard Keynes whose economic thinking was dominant in the post-World War II decades.]
Financial journalist Bernhard Hickey (financial editor of www.interest.co.nz) speaks about quantitative easing: “The idea of money printing… is starting to get discussed here in New Zealand… [W]e have the Greens coming out and saying… “Why don’t we do quantitative easing in New Zealand to print money and buy earthquake bonds and get the Christchurch earthquake rebuild going?”… This is the real debate for the government and the opposition… [a]s the rest of the world prints money again and again and again… We [have to] decide how we do the money printing. Do we print the money and give it to the banks to buy government bonds on the secondary market, therefore delivering a profit boost to the banks and to those holding assets such as shares and bonds? – which is what’s happening in the rest of the world… [T]he effect of quantitative easing in the rest of the world [is that] it makes rich people even richer… What the Greens are saying is “Let’s print the money and buy government bonds and get the government to spend the money on infrastructure, which is a different type of money printing to what we’ve seen offshore… Although the government has tried to shut this debate down in the last couple of weeks, this will come back as… central banks and governments have to look for unorthodox monetary policies to try and get their economy going again…” – from Radio New Zealand National’s Afternoons programme, October 17, 2012. http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2535831/the-panel-with-bernard-hickey-and-anna-chinn-part-2
Leading historian and thinker Professor Tony Judt (UK/USA) says in his 2010 book ILL FARES THE LAND: “…[In] the arena of economic policy, the citizens of today’s democracies have learned altogether too much modesty. We have been advised that these are matters for experts: that economics and its policy implications are far beyond the understanding of the common man or woman – a point of view enforced by the increasingly arcane and mathematical language of the discipline. Not many ‘lay people’ are likely to challenge the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secretary of the Treasury or their expert advisers in such matters. Were they to do so, they would be told – much as a medieval priest might have advised his flock – that these are questions with which they need not concern themselves. The liturgy must be chanted in an obscure tongue, accessible only to the initiated. For everyone else, faith will suffice. But faith has not sufficed. The emperors of economic policy in Britain and the US, not to mention their acolytes and admirers everywhere… are naked. However, since most observers have long shared their sartorial preferences [dress sense!], they are ill-placed to object. We need to re-learn how to criticize those who govern us. But in order to do so with credibility we have to liberate ourselves from the circle of conformity into which we, like they, are trapped.”
“Professor Henry C.K. Lui is an economist who graduated from Harvard [and] an investment advisor for developing countries. He calls the current [Western] monetary scheme a ‘cruel hoax.’” – from the book The Web of Debt, 2012 edition, by lawyer/author Ellen Hodgson Brown, USA.
“…The BNZ interim results cap off a stellar results round from the big four Australian owned banks with all four delivering record half-year cash earnings. Combined half-year cash earnings from the four – ANZ NZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac NZ – came in at NZ$1.705 billion, up NZ$392 million, or almost 30%, from NZ$1.313 billion in the first half of their previous financial years. All four recorded solid net interest margin rises.” – an excerpt from a Gareth Vaughan news story, posted May 11, 2012, on www.interest.co.nz
“ASB said today its net profit after tax rose NZ$89 million, or 31%, in the six months to December 31, 2011, to NZ$372 million from NZ$283 million in the same period of 2010 – its previous record high half-year profit. The bank said a NZ$48 million increase in after tax fair value gains on derivatives boosted profit, although without this profit still would’ve been up 13% to a new record high.” – an excerpt from a Gareth Vaughan news story, posted February 15, 2012, on www.interest.co.nz
“The New Zealand Government has stung four Australian-owned banks with a $NZ2.2 billion ($1.76 billion) tax bill in the little country’s largest-ever commercial tax settlement case. Westpac, Auckland Savings Bank, Bank of New Zealand and ANZ-National have all agreed to the massive repayments after five years of wrangling over a tax minimisation scheme in the courts. New Zealand’s tax office, the Inland Revenue Department, started investigating the banks in 2002 over so-called structured finance, a complex mechanism the banks used to keep their tax bills low. The office claimed the strategy was a form of tax evasion and pursued the institutions through the High Court over several years.” – an excerpt from a story posted on December 24, 2009, on www.news.com.au
“Customers take ANZ to court over fees – The [Australian] High Court is about to begin hearing Australia’s largest class action case with 38,000 customers taking on the ANZ bank over its fees. Lawyers for the customers are expected to tell the court today that penalty fees charged by the bank are out of proportion with the actual cost. The action covers various fees, including those for overdrafts, overdrawn accounts, dishonour fees and over-the-limit credit card accounts… ‘We’re going to be arguing that a whole range of exception fees constitute unfair penalties,’ said Maurice Blackburn lawyer Andrew Watson. ‘What it costs the banks to process honour fees, dishonour fees, over-limit fees is a fraction of what they charge customers, therefore a penalty under the law, illegal, and something that should be paid back… At stake are more than A$220 million ($286 million) in overcharges allegedly owed to 170,000 customers of eight banks. The High Court agreed to hear the class action by customers of ANZ bank in May, following the May 2010 class action brought against… eight of the largest banks in the country including ANZ Bank, Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank, Citigroup and Westpac… The class action… aimed to win back part of an estimated A$5 billion in alleged penalty fees and late fees charged by banks to customers over a six year period… James Middleweek of Financial Redress, the specialist arm of litigation funder IMF, pointed to the banks’ behaviour since the case began as evidence about the underlying costs faced by the banks. ‘One bank has now reduced most of these charges to zero,’ he said to reporters in Canberra. ‘What does that tell you about what they charged in the past?… One bank chief executive has said that these charges were ‘completely inappropriate’. What does that tell you about the fairness of what the banks have been doing to their customers?’ According to Maurice Blackburn, Australian households paid A$652 million in exception fees in the year to June 2010, down from A$1.3 billion in in the year to June 2009. – BusinessDay.com.au with AAP” [posted on Business Day, August 14, 2012, on www.stuff.co.nz website]
“Our debt levels are so high… Over $600 million a year we are paying on our credit card debt… in interest… That’s a lot of cash which should be in our pockets rather than going overseas, because most of it’s going overseas as our banks are owned overseas.” – Dr Pushpa Wood, director of the NZ Centre for Personal Financial Education, a joint venture between Massey University and an Australian bank, speaking to Radio New Zealand National journalist Simon Morton, on This Way Up, Oct 13, 2012. http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/thiswayup
From “Banking on it” – an editorial in the New Zealand Listener, September 1, 2012: “Some farmers have good reason to be grumpy with banks, after a credit boom helped fuel a massive bubble in rural property prices in the two decades before the financial crisis. The country has been left with a $47 billion hangover, which is one of the reasons we now have Chinese conglomerates picking up the pieces. But farmers are not the only ones with gripes against banks. Two years ago, Australians were burning effigies of our own Sir Ralph Norris in the streets, after Australia’s largest bank, CBA, hiked its home-loan rates well above the official increase by the Reserve Bank. Just a few weeks previously it had been revealed that as head of CBA, Norris was being paid more than $400,000 a week. Just this week it was reported that Norris stands to receive more than $12 million for his last five months at the bank. The revelation came just a few days after CBA announced a record annual profit of more than $9 billion. Its New Zealand branch, ASB Bank, also managed a record [profit]…
Australia’s four big banks were once again the most profitable in the developed world last year… At its annual conference this month, BIS [the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements] argued there was an optimal size beyond which the financial industry drags down the rest of the economy – and Australia’s has far exceeded it… [I]n this part of the world, the banks have every reason to be pleased with their treatment so far by the regulators and the politicians.”
Labour MP and primary industries spokesperson, Damien O’Connor, speaking on Radio New Zealand National, on November 19, 2012, about the ongoing rural nightmare caused by ‘interest rate swaps’ said: “They were aggressively marketed… [and] what this [interest rate] swaps product exposes is that like car salesmen, the banks are just out there to sell products that make them money. And if you have a look at the record profits that the banks have taken offshore from New Zealand… in my view, much of that profit has come from the [contract] ‘break’ fees [and] the escalating, the overinflated interest rates, the 10-12% interest rate payments being paid by farmers who work their butts off to pay the interest so that they can keep farming… [We] can’t allow this to continue into the future. The $49 billion of debt in the agricultural sector, if those farmers are paying 2-3% extra in interest repayments, we’re talking billions of dollars of extra money that goes out of our economy every year, back to the banks… “
Interviewed alongside O’Connor (see above), farming advocate Janette Walker, said: “… [O]ne particular farmer that I can think of, the extra interest that they’ve paid over four years amounts to about a million dollars as opposed to if they just had an ordinary bank rate… [A] million dollars cash out of a rural business is fairly significant, and they’ve now sold one farm and the other farm will be sold this week – they’re finished… Most of the local rural [bankers] didn’t have an understanding of swaps. They relied on bank treasury experts to do most of the talking… [T]hese contracts are 76 pages long.”

An extract from one of the stories written for rural newspaper Straight Furrow about the impact of interest rate swaps:“… [W]atercare’s treasury manager, says companies must have deep balance sheets and high levels of sophistication to take on the risk of complex and volatile interest rate swaps [one type of ‘derivative’ product]. The latest Watercare annual report revealed a $60 million loss on interest rate swap contracts in the year to June 30, highlighting the risks of [taking] derivative positions on interest rates.” – November 5, 2012.

From “Foreign banks bleeding us dry” by James Henderson, posted February 14, 2012, on NZ political blog-site The Standard: “The Bankers’ Crisis is hurting people all over the world. From the deepest, darkest austerity in Greece, to the continuing foreclosure tsunami in the US, to cutbacks and job losses here, it’s the ordinary people suffering the hangover for the bankers’ wild decades of unbridled excess and profit. But at least the banks are suffering too, eh? Yeah, nah. Over $3 billion a year in profit. Nearly all of that money is flowing offshore to the foreign banks. That’s equivalent to all exports of wool, wine, and fish put together going just on the profits for the Aussie banks.
Kiwibank has 4% market share but accounts for only 0.4% of the after-tax profits made by the banks. The rest is the Aussies. And don’t forget that we’ve given these poor dears a 5% cut to their corporate tax rate in the past four years, which was worth about quarter of a billion to them last year. Every time you hear of some important service being cut, remember the Aussie banks are pocketing a million dollars per week day in tax cuts. So, how are they making record profits? By getting cheaper funding from offshore and lowering savings rates here, while not passing the full benefits on to their customers. Again, Kiwibank is a stand-out, its interest expense is a much higher portion of its interest income than other banks – it pays better interest to savers and offers lower borrowing rates.
… the [Australian] banks’ profits have grown despite the amount they are lending being steady… what they’ve done is lend less to businesses for productive investment and more to the household sector – which has left the house price bubble still significantly intact (good news for the banks, which don’t want to write down the value of their loans). So, we’re being creamed by the Aussie banks, who are fueling our housing bubble, not passing on their lower cost of capital to us, and reaping record profits, helped by the tax cuts we gave them. Time to switch to Kiwibank, eh?”
[“Kiwibank. It’s ours.” – Right?Well, not quite. Not since March 2010. Most people think that Kiwibank is still 100% owned by the NZ government but about a third of the equity in Kiwibank is now owned by private shareholders. But there will be opportunities – the first in 2015 – for the government to buy back all of these shares, so Kiwibank could again be 100% “ours.”]
“Kiwibank happy with shares offer… The state-owned bank has previously signalled the sale of up to $150 million [non-voting] shares, to be known as Kiwi Income Securities. The offer was oversubscribed…and had been largely allocated to financial intermediaries and institutions… No pool of shares is available for direct sale to the public.” – nzherald.co.nz April 8, 2010
“The dividend rate [for the privately-owned Kiwibank equity shares] for the five year period ending 3 May 2015 is 8.15% per annum, payable in arrears in equal quarterly instalments… On 4 August 2010 the first quarterly dividend of $3m… [= $12 million a year] was paid on the shares…” – from a 2010 directors’ report, Kiwibank website.
The economic “miracle” of the USA’s stand-alone public banking state, North Dakota: “…North Dakota remains fiscally sound when other state governments are swimming in red ink. It is the only state to completely escape the credit crisis, boasting a continuous budget surplus every year since 2008. It has the lowest unemployment rate [3.3% in July 2011 compared to the national rate of 9.1%] and lowest credit card default rate in the country, and no state government debt at all.
Its fiscal track record is particularly impressive considering that its economy consists largely of isolated farms in an inhospitable climate. Ready, low-interest credit from its own state-owned bank helps explain this unusual success… The Bank of North Dakota (BND) was formed in 1919 specifically to free farmers and small businessmen from the clutches of out-of-state bankers and railroad men… The BND has had a return on equity in recent years of 19% to 26%. It pays a hefty dividend to the state… By law, the state must deposit all its funds in the [state] bank… [The NZ Government banks with Australian-owned Westpac bank.] Publicly-owned banks are common in India, Switzerland, Germany, Canada and other countries…” – from The Web of Debt, 2012 edition, by Ellen Hodgson Brown.

“The National Government is dragging its feet on tendering the government master banking contract – a contract held uncontested by Westpac for 23 years,” said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman… “It’s time to open up this cosy, uncontested business relationship successive governments have had with the Westpac bank. “Of course, Government ministers might have to give up on some of their corporate box seats and tickets to rock concerts provided courtesy of Westpac.” The Green Party has previously shown that senior National Government ministers and their staff were regularly accepting generous corporate hospitality from Westpac Bank. “Ideally, our Government’s banking should eventually be done by our New Zealand bank, Kiwibank,” Dr Norman said. “Australian-owned banks control 95 per cent of our banking industry and this Government has done nothing to stop the massive capital drain that results from these banks repatriating their record profits offshore each year.” – www.infonews.co.nz , September 5, 2012
In just one of the letters published in the online business section of Britain’s Guardian newspaper on June 28, 2012, under the headline “Shame of Barclays’ Bollinger brigade”, a reader writes: “Barclays Bank has been given a record fine of £290m for lying and for manipulating interest rates on a massive scale (Barclays fined £290m as bid to manipulate rates exposed, 28 June). Barclays – in concert with other banks – rigged the Libor and Euribor rates. This sounds just technical. It isn’t. The Libor rate is the average rate at which UK banks lend to each other. It is also the rate used as a benchmark for everything from the interest due for late payment on many contracts to the interest rate on many mortgages – real payments by millions of real people. These rates also serve as benchmarks for much of the trade in financial “derivatives”: obscure instruments created by financiers whose total value is hundreds of trillions of pounds, an unbelievable amount. The money to be made by fraudulently manipulating this market simply beggars belief.Other major banks in the UK, US and Europe are under investigation for similar allegations, including Lloyds and RBS [Royal Bank of Scotland] – both recently rescued from collapse by the taxpayer. It is clear that finance capital continues to act purely to make huge profits, legally or illegally. The banking system is not a support to the real economy but a criminal conspiracy against it. Instead of propping up the unaccountable private banking system at the expense of ordinary people, we must replace it with a publicly owned, publicly run, publicly accountable national bank.”
British economist Michael Rowbotham, in his book Goodbye America! – Globalisation, debt and the dollar empire, published in 2000, writes: “In 1998, $2,200 billion was outstanding as Third World, or international debt. The great majority of this sum represents money created as credit by commercial banks, in parallel with debt. In no sense do the loans advanced by the World Bank and IMF constitute monies owed to the notional ‘creditor nations’ of the World Bank and IMF. Third World[developing] nations are not ‘in debt to’ the industrialised nations, they are in debt to commercial and multilateral banks and lending institutions. This is reinforced by the fact that, in submitting quotas to the IMF, the creditor nations [like New Zealand which has recently pledged a further $1.2 billion] are themselves obliged to undertake debt, raising these quotas by recourse to their national debt…
Third World debts could be cancelled with little or no cost to anyone. [Of course, banks would lose out on futureincome from interest and fees.] Indeed, cancellation would be not only the simplest process imaginable, but to the general advantage of the world economy. All that is involved is a bit of creative accountancy – something at which the West has shown itself highly adept when this has suited its purpose… [O]nly one factor prevents the immediate and instant cancellation of all Third World debts – the accountancy rules of commercial banks.” [The point here is that bank-created debt conjured up out of thin air can also be ‘disappeared’ if the political will exists to make this happen.]
The 2011 book Africa’s Odious Debts – How Foreign Loans and Capital Flight Bled a Continent, by Léonce Ndikumana and James K. Boyce, tells of the criminal loan-go-round, or greedy money making dirty money while tens of thousands of babies die in Africa: “…[C]apital flight poses a major development challenge for African countries. The issue is at the heart of discussions of development finance, transparency in public resource management, and the sustainability of external borrowing. The magnitude of African capital flight is staggering, both in absolute monetary values and relative to GDP [Gross Domestic Product = total value of goods and services produced annually]. For the thirty-three sub-Saharan African countries for which we have data, we find that more than $700 billion fled the continent between 1970 and 2008. If this capital was invested abroad and earned interest at the going market rates, the accumulated capital loss [was] $944 billion. Comparisons to Asia and Latin America have found that capital flight from Africa is smaller in sheer dollar terms, but larger relative to the size of the African economy. Africa is bleeding money as capital flows into the private accounts of African elites and their accomplices in western financial centres.
Foreign loans can be an important source of illicit wealth, and hence of capital flight… On both sides of international lending agreements there can be perverse incentives, borrowers who contract liabilities in the name of the public with the aim of siphoning funds into private assets, and creditors driven by imperatives to ‘move the money’ and comforted by the prospect of bailouts when their loans go sour… Funds that are acquired illegally, or funnelled abroad illegally, or both, are not entered into the official accounts of African countries…
…We estimate that one more dollar spent on foreign debt service [paying for the loans], means 29 fewer cents spent on health. [In the case of infant mortality alone, this means that for] every $140,000 that sub-Saharan Africa pays in external debt service, another African baby dies…
[There are] other impacts of lower health expenditure: higher mortality of children aged one to five…higher premature deaths of older children and adults, and effects of non-fatal illnesses. [There are also] human costs associated with the other 71 cents that are lost with each dollar of debt service…owing to reduced spending on education, infrastructure and other public goods.
…[For] every dollar of foreign borrowing by African governments in the 1970-2008 period, roughly 60 cents left the country in the same year as capital flight. This means that four of the seven infant deaths associated with each million dollars of debt service can be attributed to loans that funded capital flight. Applying this ratio to the $19.2 billion annual debt service paid in 2005-7, we conclude that the debt-fuelled capital flight resulted in 77,000 excess infant deaths per year. These numbers give new meaning to the phrase ‘blood money.’
…[The] perpetrators of capital flight benefit from the complicity of bankers and other operators who assist in the placement of the funds in foreign [‘off-shore’] havens. The identities of asset holders are often concealed through proxies and by taking advantage of legal screens available in bank secrecy jurisdictions.” [Note: the term ‘odious debt’ is an accepted legal concept. It refers to illegitimate or fraudulent debt and is used as a reason for negating or cancelling debt.]
The island of Jersey is part of the notorious Channel Islands tax haven/ bank secrecy jurisdiction, an ‘off-shore’ outreach of the City of London – London’s tight-knit and strangely self-governing financial district. Economist John Christensen is a ‘former Jerseyeconomic advisor-turned-dissident’. While working on Jersey…”He moved from company to company as the river of money flowing into Jersey became a tide. When he expressed unease about the origins of some of it, much of it from Africa, he was brushed aside. One Friday, ahead of the habitual office binge-drinking session, his section supervisor told him she didn’t want to discuss these things and ‘didn’t give a shit about Africa anyway’. ‘Her attitude was typical. Profitability was sky-high, and nobody made the connection between their actions and criminality and injustice elsewhere…’”– from the 2011 book Treasure Islands – Tax havens and the men who stole the world, by UK financial journalist Nicholas Shaxon.
Also from Shaxson’s book Treasure Islands: “Offshore sometimes feels like a Boys’ Ownfantasy of the world, in which white men sort things out over Scotch whisky and see the rest of the world as a consumable resource.
[Economist John] Christensen continued: ‘The ruling classes realise they don’t need to worry about [what political party is in power in the USA, or Germany or Britain]. They realised they didn’t need to fight the fight at home. They already had this flotsam and jetsam of the empire strewn across the globe, with their red post boxes and British ways of life and incredible subservience to the English ruling class. In Jersey I was amazed by how fawning the local politicians were to outsiders with money. There was this idea: “We can take over our own little places, and the locals will be grateful to us. The checks and balances aren’t there; the press isn’t there; and they resent interference from outsiders.”’
Happy days. The City [of London] gentlemen had found a way round the threat of democracy.”
[And, says Shaxson:] “Just as European nobles used to consolidate their unaccountable powers in castles, to better subjugate and extract tribute from the surrounding peasantry, so financial capital has coalesced in these fortified nodes of unaccountable political and economic power, capturing local politics and turning these [tax haven/bank secrecy] jurisdictions into fast and flexible private law-making machines, defended against outside interference and protected by establishment consensus and the suppression of dissent. Offshore is not just a place, an idea, a way of doing things, or even a weapon for the finance industries. It is also a process: a race to the bottom where the regulations, laws and trappings of democracy are steadily degraded, as one arrangement ricochets from one fortified redoubt of finance to the next jurisdiction, and the offshore system pushes steadily, further, deeper, onshore. The tax havens have become the battering rams of deregulation.” [‘Offshore’ can now mean a business address, a sham company, anywhere outside of the reach of the regulations and constraints of your home turf; any state or country that is prepared to offer regulatory concessions at the expense of its neighbours – so for Wall Street ‘offshore’ can be the City of London and vice-versa.]
And here Shaxon provides an example of the pin-striped whitewashing ‘offshore’ banks can offer clients: “[A]n internal memo at the Riggs Bank brought to light in 2004 by the US Permanent Committee on Investigation [said:] ‘Client is a private investment company domiciled in the Bahamas …used as a vehicle to manage the investment needs of beneficial owner, now a retired professional who achieved much success in his career and accumulated wealth during his lifetime for retirement in an orderly way.’ The ‘retired professional’ was Chilean torturer-in-chief and former dictator Augusto Pinochet.”
“Exhaustive Study Finds Global Elite Hiding Up to $32 Trillion in Offshore Accounts” Excerpts from a July 31, 2012, story broadcast on American independent on-line news channel www.democracynow.org :
“AMY GOODMAN: We turn now to a new report that reveals how wealthy individuals and their families have between $21 and $32 trillion of hidden financial assets around the world in what are known as offshore accounts or tax havens. The conservative estimate of $21 trillion – conservative estimate – is as much money as the entire annual economic output of the United States and Japan combined. The actual sums could be higher because the study only deals with financial wealth deposited in bank and investment accounts, and not other assets such as property and yachts. The inquiry was commissioned by the Tax Justice Network and is being touted as the most comprehensive report ever on the “offshore economy.” It’s called “The Price of Offshore Revisited.” The study finds private banks are deeply involved in running offshore havens with UBS, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs handling the most assets offshore. According to the report, less than 100,000 people worldwide own almost $10 trillion of the wealth held in tax havens. To talk about the implications of these findings, we’re joined by the report’s author, James Henry, economist, lawyer, board member of the Tax Justice Network, former chief economist at McKinsey & Company.
JAMES HENRY: Well, the $21 trillion figure is the headline story, that’s a shock to a lot of people, actually represents about 10 to 15 percent of global wealth. So, from that standpoint, we think it’s a reasonable number. But the interesting thing is that all of this wealth accrues to the top 10 million people on the planet, and a lot of it just to the top 100,000, people with assets over $30 million per household. The second thing that’s striking about this is the role of the great international banks that we’ve all come to know and love, the ones you described – UBS, Credit Suisse, HSBC, JPMorgan – all these banks – Goldman [Sachs] – big recipients of bailout money from taxpayers, and also deeply implicated in the financial crisis of 2008 to the current period. These are the same folks that have specialized in helping the wealthiest people on the planet take their money offshore and hide it from tax authorities.
AMY GOODMAN: You talk about pirate banks.
JAMES HENRY: Right…This is the business of taking money and moving it to secret offshore accounts and sheltering it from taxes…So, basically, we have designed our tax laws – the United States, the U.K., Switzerland – to become the largest tax havens in the world. The actual offshore islands, like the Caymans, are just conduits to these ultimate destinations…The leaders in the pack here historically have been U.K. banks, U.S. banks and Swiss banks.
AMY GOODMAN: Let’s talk about the continent of Africa and what this means for various countries and, most importantly, the majority of the populations there.
JAMES HENRY: Yeah. Well, for example, Nigeria is supposedly a debtor country. But when you look at all the unrecorded capital outflows that have flowed out of Nigeria, it turns out that Nigeria is actually, like many other developing countries, a net creditor of the richest countries in the world…
So the debt problem is not really a debt problem. It’s a tax problem. Developing countries account for about a third, we estimate, of the $21 to $32 trillion of financial assets that’s offshore.
…[I]t’s outrageous for the wealthiest people on the planet to pay zero taxes. And what this does to developing countries…[is that] they end up taxing low- and middle-income people with VAT taxes and sales taxes that are regressive. So, basically, what you’re seeing is that globalization is driving a big hole through the nation state system that was designed to raise tax revenue.
AMY GOODMAN: Name more names of the banks…
JAMES HENRY: Good example is HSBC. They’re number three on our list, a big U.K. bank. They recently had a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice for laundering $14 billion of cartel drug money. They got off with a $1 billion parking ticket, and their profits per year are about $20 billion. So, you know, this is the Obama administration basically deciding not to close this bank… HSBC is just one of the top 10 banks on this list. Collectively, those 10 banks manage about $6.3 trillion of the $12.3 trillion that we located in these top 50 banks…
AMY GOODMAN: What about large corporations? You talk about…moving intellectual property offshore…corporations like Google and Pfizer.
JAMES HENRY: Right. Well, in our film, We’re Not Broke, which was a Sundance [film festival] documentary, we discussed corporate tax evasion. And this is the latest trend in the software industry and also in the healthcare industry, drug industry. Pfizer, Google, Microsoft, companies like General Electric are parking their intellectual property, their brands and software, offshore in places like Bermuda and paying royalties to themselves and essentially parking the profits in these low-tax jurisdictions and not paying any taxes on it. So, Google last year saved about $3 billion by that…”

Journalist Nicholas Shaxson again, in Treasure Islands: “Why has so much [debt] built up in the world’s richest economies? An article in the [UK’s] Financial Times in June 2009 headed DEBT IS CAPITALISM’S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET provides one answer. “The benefits of economic growth have gone into the pockets of plutocrats [people who rule because of their wealth] rather than the bulk of the population,” it said. “So why has there been no revolution? Because there was a solution: debt. If you couldn’t earn it, you could borrow it.” And the infrastructure was put in place to make this happen. The tax havens are a big part of that.”
In his New York Times best-selling book Griftopia – A story of bankers, politicians, and the most audacious power grab in American history, lauded US journalist Matt Taibbi includes a damning exposé of investment mega-bank Goldman Sachs. Here are some excerpts from that chapter which is titled ‘The Great American Bubble Machine’:
“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled-dry American empire, reads like a Who’s Who of Goldman Sachs graduates… Any attempt to construct a narrative around all the former Goldmanites in influential positions quickly becomes an absurd and pointless exercise, like trying to make a list of everything.
So what you need to know is the big picture: if America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs found a way to be that drain – an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy…
The bank’s unprecedented reach and power has enabled it to manipulate whole economic sectors for years at a time, moving the dice game as this or that market collapses, and all the time gorging itself on the unseen costs that are breaking families everywhere… the bank is a huge, highly sophisticated engine for converting the useful, deployed wealth of society into the least useful, most wasteful and insoluble substance on earth, pure profit for rich individuals…
Here’s the real punch line. After playing an intimate role in three historic bubble catastrophes, after helping $5 trillion in wealth disappear from the NASDAQ in the early part of the 2000’s, after pawning off thousands of toxic mortgages on pensioners and cities [as investments], after helping drive the price of gas up above $4.60 a gallon for half a year [this price spike hit NZ pumps too], and helping 100 million new people around the world join the ranks of the hungry, and securing tens of billions of taxpayer dollars through a series of bailouts, what did Goldman Sachs give back to the people of the United States in the year 2008? Fourteen million dollars. That is what the firm paid in taxes in 2008: an effective tax rate of exactly 1, read it, one percent. The bank paid out $10 billion in compensation and bonuses that year and made a profit above $2 billion, and yet it paid the government less than a third of what it paid [CEO] Lloyd Blankfein, who made $42.9 million in 2008.
How is this possible? According to its annual report, the low taxes are due in large part to changes in the bank’s “geographic earnings mix.” In other words, the bank moved its money around so that all of its earning took place in foreign countries with low tax rates. Thanks to our completely f***ed [my asterisks] corporate tax system, companies like Goldman can ship their revenues offshore and defer taxes on those revenues indefinitely, even while they claim deductions up front on that same untaxed income. This is why any corporation with an at least occasionally sober accountant can usually find a way to pay no taxes at all. A Government Accountability Office report, in fact, found that between 1998 and 2005, two-thirds of all corporations operating in the United States paid no taxes at all.
This should be a pitchfork-level outrage – but somehow, when Goldman released its post-bailout tax profile, barely anyone said a word: Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Texas was one of the few to remark upon the obscenity. “With the right hand begging for bailout money,” he said, “the left is hiding it offshore.”” – taken from the 2011 updated edition of Griftopia
In her 2009 book It Takes a Pillage – Behind the Bailouts, Bonuses, and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street, former Wall Street insider turned Wall Street critic, Nomi Prins says: “I’m writing about some of these bankers that orchestrated expensive life jackets in a sea of financial debris, because I used to traverse their world. As a managing director at Goldman Sachs… and a senior managing director at Bear, Stearns International (R.I.P.)… I had an upfront and global seat for a lot of the internal politics and power plays that drive the external pillaging…
The acquisition of power comes through the consolidation of money on Wall Street. You need to have a big appetite for power to be truly successful there. I think that when you live outside this world, it’s hard to understand the motivation to act in ways that seem, and often are, so disconnected from reality. As much as their actions are about hoarding money, their strategy is more about consolidating power and influence. Money is a marker. Power is a drug of choice… Success on Wall Street is defined by figuring out how to creatively bend the rules in order to squeeze more money from clients, investors, and the world. So, why would you trust Wall Street to create the rules in the first place?…
You can’t merely wrist slap the very people who wrote the rules and paid themselves… and expect them to change their collective mind-set. The most you can expect is the kind of scripted faux [fake] remorse that Wall Street CEO’s provided to Congress… These executives are very gifted at saying just what they need to, when they need to. It doesn’t mean anything. Believe me. I lived and worked and breathed with Wall Street executives for years. I’ve seen them lie with nary a facial muscle moving. I’ve been at meetings that centred on strategizing about lying…
…Even the bonus payouts that caused such duress to Congress were [post-2007] cloaked in new disguises to avoid detection. For instance, American Express CEO Ken Chenault received $26 million in compensation in 2007, including $1.24 million in salary, $6 million in bonus cash, $6.5 million in stock awards, $8.3 million in options, and approximately $4 million in other forms of compensation. For 2008, he certainly toed the public line and received zero in cash bonuses, but he still made more than in 2007 – ready for this? – $27.3 million… On January 9, 2009, American Express received $3.39 billion in TARP [Troubled Asset Relief Program = bailout] money.”
Financial Times columnist John Tizard had this to say about Prin’s book It Takes a Pillage: “Nomi Prins has applied her unmatched expertise in Wall Street’s arcane methods of turning your money into their bonuses to mapping the recent crisis. In compelling, scathing prose, she shows how the key players escaped being brought to account, and kept their pet officials in power.”
UK economics commentator and activist Ann Pettifor: “I’m right now reading a speech by [a Bank of England board member]… who was at Goldman Sachs… and who’s written a paper saying that the cause of the [financial] crisis had absolutely nothing to do with… unregulated money… When I read that paper it is so deceptive really… That paper, I am convinced, has been written in Goldman Sachs’ research department, and he’s delivered that speech on behalf of Goldman Sachs, and he’s on the board of the Bank of England. Now that’s not a conspiracy – it’s huge political and economic power… I was a bit stunned by [the speech]… He says in it that for every saver there is a borrower. Now this is a man who is on the board of the Bank of England and has no idea, it seems, that we live in a monetary system and have lived in a monetary system since 1694… a bank-money system which is based on credit. And yet he suggests… that our banking system relies on people to deposit some savings in the bank and then to lend it out. If that were the case, we would never have had a credit crisis… What I think is amoral is the fact that the banks finance this, that they churn this stuff out… [His speech is about] defending the ability of Goldman Sachs to lend without regulation and to lend at very high rates of interest.” – excerpt from a 2012 on-line interview with Renegade Economist
Economist/academic Dr Jonathan Aldred, of Cambridge University, UK, says in his 2009 book The Skeptical Economist : “… [M]any of those who call themselves economists peddle a narrow or simplistic view of economics to serve vested or narrow interests and political ends. These people are better described as policy entrepreneurs. Alongside the policy entrepreneurs stand others who are naively confused in their misrepresentation of economics, but equally dangerous. Between them, these groups do a good job of misunderstanding, misrepresenting and misusing economics, with consequences from which we all suffer.”
Also from Ellen Hodgson Brown’s book The Web of Debt: “…[T]he Chinese Communists, who founded the People’s Republic of China in 1949,…retained much of the [already in place] “American system” in creating their monetary scheme. It was a Chinese variation of [former US President Abraham] Lincoln’s Greenback program…[so] Chinahas a government-issued currency and a system of national banks… Besides its “populist” banking system, China is distinguished by keeping itself free of the debt web of the IMF [International Monetary Fund] and the international banking cartel; and by refusing to let its currency float, a policy that has fended off the currency manipulations of international speculators… and China has such a huge store of [US] dollar reserves that it is impervious to the assaults of speculators.” [China has been able to buy up a vast amount of United States government debt and is the USA’s largest foreign creditor.]
President Abraham Lincoln’s Monetary Policy (1865) is a very short document and the UK’s Michael Rowbotham includes it in his book The Grip of Death – A study of modern money, debt slavery and destructive economics (reprinted 2009). Here are some excerpts:
“‘Money is the creature of law, and the creation of the original issue of money should be maintained as the exclusive monopoly of national government… Capital has its proper place and is entitled to every protection. The wages of men should be recognised in the structure of and in the social order as more important that the wages of money.
No duty is more imperative for the government than the duty it owes the people to furnish them with a sound and uniform currency, and of regulating the circulation of the medium of exchange so that labour will be protected from a vicious currency, and commerce will be facilitated by cheap and safe exchanges…
The monetary needs of increasing numbers of people advancing towards higher standards of living can and should be met by the government. Such needs can be met the issue of national currency and credit through the operation of a national banking system… Government need not and should not borrow capital at interest as a means of financing governmental work and public enterprise… The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government’s greatest creative opportunity…
The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.’ Abraham Lincoln, senate document 23, Page 91. 1865”
[Rowbotham writes:] “…[I]t has been speculated many times that Lincoln’s death [assassination] was connected with the fact that such a monetary policy as he was proposing, if pursued effectively, would have signalled the end of banking and money power in the United States, and very rapidly throughout the developing world. Once that one government was seen to be capable of supplying its nation’s monetary needs, others would certainly have followed. The power and profit which national debts and widespread private industrial debts provided to the world’s most shadowy and powerful elite – bankers and financiers – would have soon vanished.”
“The Remarkable Island of Guernsey” – from Ellen Hodgson Brown’s book The Web of Debt: “While U.S. bankers were insisting that the government must borrow rather than print the money it needed, the residents of a small island state off the coast of England were quietly conducting a 200-year experiment that would show the bankers’ inflation argument to be a humbug. Guernsey is located among the British Channel Islands, about 75 miles south of Great Britain. In 1994, Dr. Bob Blain, Professor of Sociology at Southern Illinois University, wrote of this remarkable island:
‘In 1816 its sea walls were crumbling, its roads were muddy and only 4½ feet wide. Guernsey’s debt was 19,000 pounds. The island’s annual income was 3,000 pounds of which 2,400 had to be used to pay interest on its debt. Not surprisingly, people were leaving Guernsey and there was little employment.
Then the government created and loaned new, interest-free state notes worth 6,000 pounds. Some 4,000 pounds were used to start the repairs of the sea walls. In 1820, another 4,500 was issued, again interest-free. In 1821, another 10,000; 1824, 5,000; 1826, 20,000. By 1837, 50,000 pounds had been issued interest free for the primary use of projects like sea walls, roads, the marketplace, churches, and colleges. This sum more than doubled the island’s money supply during this thirteen year period, but there was no inflation. In the year 1914, as the British restricted the expansion of their money supply due to World War 1, the people of Guernsey commenced to issue another 142,000 pounds over the next four years and never looked back. By 1958, over 542,000 pounds had been issued, all without inflation.’
[Brown continues… ] Guernsey has an income tax, but the tax is relatively low… It has no inheritance tax, no capital gains tax, and no federal debt… When it wants to create some public work or service, [the Guernsey government] just issues the money it needs to pay for the work. The Guernsey government has been issuing its own money for nearly two centuries. During that time, the money supply has mushroomed to about 25 times its original size; yet the economy has not been troubled by price inflation, and it has remained prosperous and stable…
Many other countries have also successfully issued their own money but Guernsey is one of the few to have stayed under the radar long enough to escape the the covert attacks of an international banking cartel bent on monopolizing the money-making market…” [It is interesting to note that Guernsey is also part of the long-standing Channel Islands tax haven/secrecy jurisdiction operation which funnels big money into the City of London banking district. It makes you wonder… ]
Economics commentator and activist Ann Pettifor (UK) speaking in the documentary film 97% Owned : “… [A] report from the United Nations Environment Programme [says] we need $2 trillion a year… to finance the greening of the economy, to move away from… carbon – which is poisoning the atmosphere – to alternatives to carbon. When the banks collapsed in 2007-09, we found, according to the Bank of England… $14 trillion to bail out the banks. So against that, $2 trillion to bail out the ecosystem is no big deal…
… All that money does is enable us to do what we can do, and once we get our heads around that, we can make money do what we need.”

The Secret of Oz [USA, documentary, 120 minutes, 2009]
This is an updated version of the award-winning 1995 documentary The Money Masters. Although low-budget, it gives a riveting account of the (today) little-known but centuries-long history of the fiercely fought back-and-forth struggle – the people and their political leaders versus the private bankers – to control the creation and management of the money supply in Western economies. It’s full of surprises, and plenty of shocks but also strongly advocates for a positive way forward. “As of February, 2010, the film is ranked #15 in the “Top 50 Documentaries” listed at the Movies Found Online website.” – wikipedia.

Ex-Wall Street hedge fund analyst Cathy O’Neil is now an Occupy Wall Street activist. She explains why in this PBS Frontline interview. [USA, 2012]
“…the basic cultural assumptions were not pleasant to me. The sort of most basic cultural assumption was that as a smart person, we have the right to take advantage of the system and of “dumb people”… They think about it, like, “Well, of course we’re going to take advantage, because we’re smart, and we can. Like, we have better tools, and our tools are our brains… Take advantage of absolutely everything and everyone that we can, in any way we can… [If] we could figure out a way to take advantage of pension funds, we would do it… [One of the] underlying assumptions was that there’s smart money, and then there’s dumb money… So the idea was: “You know, this is called dumb money. Let’s just… take their dumb money… I just felt like I was doing something immoral. I was taking advantage of people I don’t even know whose retirements were in these funds… By the way, it should be said that this is during the credit crisis, right. This is 2008, 2009. I mean, this is when you’re seeing the world collapse around us.”

Money, Power, & Wall Street [USA, 4-part documentary series, 2012]
The O’Neil interview (see above) is one of many extended interviews posted alongside this recent PBS (American public broadcasting service) documentary series which investigates the global financial crisis. The reporting seems overly-reverential and go-easy at times, and biased in favour of President Barack Obama, but it’s still good viewing and provides plenty of useful insights.

“Somebody like me, our generation… tried to influence people and we got an awful lot of false authority. And politicians and other people actually believed somehow that economists knew what they were doing. But increasingly now I think they didn’t really know and their authority was very misplaced…”

Leading reform-advocating economist Steve Keen [UK, BBC radio interview, 2012]
Australian Steve Keen is an associate professor of economics and finance at the University of Western Sydney, and author of the lauded, ground-breaking book Debunking Economics – the naked emporor dethroned?Keen was one of a small number of economists who predicted there would be a major financial crisis before the 2008 crash. He argues that if we keep the “parasitic banking sector” alive the economy dies, and says that conventional economics provides an unwitting cover for “the greatest ponzi schemes in history.” Keen is interviewed here by the BBC’s Newsnighteconomics editor, Paul Mason, in front of an audience at the London School of Economics for a BBC Radio 4 “Analysis”programme: ‘Why Economics Is Bunk’.
An excerpt:
Steve Keen: “Banks can expand the money supply. It’s a double-entry bookkeeping exercise to expand the money supply. We have to remove that one massive flaw in capitalism to avoid perennial financial crises.”
Paul Mason: “But banks have rigid capital ratios. They have ceilings in terms of the amount of debt they can create…?”
Steve Keen: “Fundamentally, banks manage to evade most of those controls.”

Catastroika – the privatisation of everything [Greece, documentary, 87 minutes, 2012]
This eye-opening documentary reveals a story of super-sized arrogance, greed and corruption; of the undermining and the over-riding of democracy, time and time again, and happening right now, especially in debt-bogged European Union countries. It shows the net effect of the ‘privatise everything’ doctrine that is part of the ‘neo-liberal’ ideology. It takes you to the United States, to Britain, to Germany, to Russia, to France, to Italy, to Spain and to embattled Greece, the home of the film’s makers. It is a story of corporate raiding and profiteering, and the degradation and destruction of publicly-funded infrastructure, aided and abetted by self-interested politicians, government officials and bankers. Public assets, built up over generations with taxpayers’ money, are swept into grasping private hands – often at ludicrous fire-sale prices – with severe, and often disastrous, results for whole populations of people. The documentary has English sub-titles but a lot of the spoken dialogue is also in English as academics, financial journalists, political observers, politicians, industry insiders etc. from various countries are interviewed. The section, towards the end, about the sell-offs of publicly-owned railway, water and power companies is particularly relevant to New Zealand right now as we face yet more selling off of our taxpayer-bought, profit-generating public assets.

‘008]
“…[I]ncreasing criticism has been levelled at the media over failure to provide adequate warning of the impending economic turmoil, as well as accusations of sensationalist coverage. Did the media fail in its scrutiny? Or are the workings of international finance now so complex and secretive that the media can no longer provide effective oversight? We ask some of the journalists and commentators who have been credited with providing early warning of the collapse of the markets for their assessment…”
Gillian Tett, of the Financial Times, and British Business Journalist of the Year in 2008: “Let’s face it, the banks PR teams are extremely well-resourced and funded compared to the media.”
Ann Pettifor: “[T]he media had been captured by what I regard to be… an ideological dominance in the profession of economics… and they need to know that they are captured when they are captured, and they need to know not to be captured…”

Leading New Zealand businessman Hugh Fletcher [NZ, radio interview, 33 minutes, 2012]
Former chief executive of Fletcher Challenge, and just stepped down from directorships with Fletcher Building and the Reserve Bank, Hugh Fletcher (MBA Stanford University, and a former chancellor of Auckland University) talks to Radio New Zealand journalist Kathryn Ryan (Nine to Noonprogramme, October 19, 2012) about the New Zealand business environment, foreign takeovers and investment, employment, deluded economic thinking and policies, banking, public and private debt, and monetary policy, and firmly puts the case for attitude and policy changes.
“New Zealand head-quartered corporations have not had a level playing-field for thirty years… The theories for international comparative advantage and the theories for perfect competition, which underlie laissez-faire economics, are patently riddled with many, many flaws in the assumptions. So they are hollow. They are the emperor without his clothes, and yet they’ve been slavishly adopted by New Zealand governments and civil servants for the last thirty years… We are slowly draining wealth out of this country and we are getting into a more vulnerable financial position. The laissez-faire status quo position is not acceptable… “ [The French term ‘laissez-faire’ refers here to a ‘let them do as they want’ non-interventionist, anti-regulation approach by government towards private economic transactions – the ‘free market’ / ‘markets know best’, hands-off approach of neoliberalism.]

Sending New Year’s Greetings
Posted on December 31, 2013 by Nancy
New Year’s Greetings. ca. 1910. The Connecticut Historical Society.
Did you know that New Year’s cards were once nearly as common and popular as Christmas cards? While Christmas was at first a religious and then a family holiday, New Year’s Day was long a traditional occasion for visiting one’s friends and exchanging good wishes. It was also a purely secular holiday, celebrated and enjoyed by people of all religious persuasions. At the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century, holiday postcards were all the rage. They were an easy and inexpensive way to send greetings, requiring little more than a penny stamp, a scribbled address and a sentence or two—not so different from an email or a text message, except that they were hand-delivered by a postman, not sent electronically via the Internet. The Connecticut Historical Society has a large collection of historic postcards and greeting cards. Though not all of them were made in Connecticut, all of them were sent or received by people who lived in the State a century or more ago. I wonder how we will manage to collect and preserve the electronic greeting cards that so many people favor today and if it will still be possible to access them and view them a hundred years from now.
