In the lead-up to Nokia's big event tomorrow, the Wall Street Journal reports Lumia sales have hit a record high for the fourth consecutive quarter. Citing people familiar with the matter, the WSJ says Nokia sold "at least eight million" Windows Phones between July and September. That's close to triple the 2.9 million sales it managed in the same period last year and also more than the 7.4 million it sold last quarter. Of course, those numbers are very low when compared to big players like Samsung and Apple, but Nokia is at least continuing to prove it — and the Windows Phone platform — has a place in the market.
As we reported last month, Nokia is gearing up to announce six devices tomorrow at its Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi. Among the new products will be the company's first tablet, thought to be called the Lumia 2520, and a large-screened phone, thought to be the 6-inch Lumia 1520. The Wall Street Journal doesn't elaborate further on Nokia's plans for tomorrow.
We don't have long to wait before Nokia reveals its fall / winter lineup; Nokia World kicks off in just 24 hours. Nokia will also give us precise figures on Lumia sales — including whether or not things are improving in the US — when it announces its third quarter earnings later this month. We'll be covering both Nokia World and the company's earnings live, so stay tuned for more details. | positive |
ESL’s annual trip to the east coast of the United States is almost upon us. For the last few years the company has hosted ESL One New York in the big apple, with the top Dota 2 teams in the world coming together for what has typically been the first major LAN event of the new season.
New rosters were trialled, the new patch was pushed to its limits and there were more than a few big surprises.
This year however things are a little different. The Dota 2 off season is only just coming to its end and the timing for ESL One New York wouldn’t have worked for a Dota event, so ESL decided to switch out one Valve eSports and bring in the other.
“With its timing shortly after The International, New York had always been challenging with Dota 2,” said Ulrich Schulze, vice president of pro gaming at ESL. “CS:GO on the other hand had not had a big event on the East Coast yet. We decided to switch because of that.”
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the headline game for ESL One New York this year, with eight of the best teams in the world, including current world champions SK Gaming, fighting it out for a share of $250,000.
With just a few LAN events since the last major, many of which did not feature top teams such as SK, this will be the first real test of the new season for many players that, along with many other of the event’s ideas, should make a for an incredible weekend of CS:GO.
“I think we have a very unique city and venue for this event, and the eight teams coming to the event are considered the best in the world,” said Schulze. “We also have a new format for the tournament, with the Swiss system leading into the semifinals, and thousands of people on-site of course. So all the factors for a great event are there.”
While Schulze is confident that switching to CS:GO for New York is a good move it was certainly a big risk. ESL already run multiple CS:GO events throughout the year, and have always had at least one major.
Now we are starting to see even more competitions pop up. ELeague and ECS are both new additions this year while single LAN events such as the Gfinity Invitational this past weekend continue to appear from seemingly nowhere.
This has led to some top teams being very selective in the events they play, but Schulze assures us that they were never worried that teams might want to skip New York.
“Overall we certainly see a movement of teams attending fewer tournaments, and that trend giving room to more of the tier 2 teams to shine and win events. Everyone is trying to do CS:GO these days, and it is pretty obvious that it would not be sustainable with every team attending 40 events every year, but we already see that this is resolving itself.
“Overall we do have significant prize money, a big arena and a well established brand, so the event stands out from the other tournaments happening around it.”
But that isn’t all, for the first time in ESL One history there will be two main games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, as Street Fighter 5 is also joining the stage.
Traditionally ESL One events, regardless of if it was for Dota 2 or CS:GO, have always been heavily focused on one game. The action on stage was all one game and the extra activities around the show would almost all be tied into that game in some way. It’s a formula that has worked countless times before, but Schulze says it is time for a change.
“With the arenas we are going to, we usually have space for more than one game,” explained Schulze. “We want to make sure we provide everyone who shows up an amazing weekend, and broadening the amount of games you can watch is a key part of that. So it is definitely something you are going to see more often.”
To make things even more difficult for themselves ESL decided to bring in Street Fighter 5 for New York. This means that they are not only running two tournaments for two games at an ESL One event for the first time, but they are running a major Street Fighter 5 competition for the first time.
“Our company is full of fighting game fans, and we just needed a good opportunity to kick it off,” mentioned Schulze when discussing why they chose Street Fighter.
“New York felt like the right opportunity to deliver something that is true to the game with its big open tournament, but also brings what we can do well, which is a big stage and show. It is definitely different from what we usually do, but we do have experienced people managing the event so they will be more than ready to have everything run smoothly.”
With just a few days before it all kicks off we couldn’t speak to Schulze without asking him the important question: who does he think will win the ESL One New York CS:GO competition?
“It is really tough to say,” ponders Schulze. “Virtus Pro have shown recently that they are very likely to reach the finals at these events, but SK Gaming have dominated for a long time and are hungry to be back on top now that fer is back from his hiatus. But then there’s Na’Vi as well, who should never be underestimated.”
Regardless of who does come out on top this weekend chances are ESL One New York 2016 will be one of the best ESL events yet. With multiple games, which are vastly different from each other, and a ton of side activities, such as playing against Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer Gustafsson in a 1vs1, there will never be a dull moment in the Barclays Center. And with the teams in attendance the action should be some of the best we have seen all year. | positive |
My husband of 28 years has collected old radios, other electronics, etc. to sell on eBay. It’s all in the basement. On the hallway floors, he’s working on test tube machines. More items are in the dining room, on the kitchen floor, on the stairs, and in our bedroom. It’s a HOARDER’S PARADISE. He paid for the stuff and thinks he can sell everything. This is upsetting to me. We used to have family over for dinner, but can't now. I cannot bring my friends over. It’s very hard to clean. He knows how to fix and clean things, and did sell some items. We do go on holidays together and sometimes do other things. LOST CAUSE
Hoarding’s one of the hardest disorders to deal with, but intensive treatment can help people understand their compulsions. BUT, they have to acknowledge that hoarding’s a problem. Fortunately, your husband and you do enjoy some things together. So he needs to hear clearly that he’s negatively affecting your life. He’s isolating you both from family and friends, making your house unsafe from clutter, and deeply upsetting you personally. Insist that he go to counselling, saying it’s essential if he wants to live out his life with you. Satisfy his need to get paid for stuff, by calling a take-away service to try and sell it for him (search online for this).
I’m 16, in high school. My father died this past January. My mother wants nothing to do with me. I'm homeless. I’m currently living with a friend, who’s my age and in my grade at the same school. I have nowhere else to go and we share a lot of the same friends. Lately, we’ve been getting into physical and verbal fights and she kicked me out. Now she doesn't want anything to do with me. I have plans to move in with family at the end of the school year. But until then, we have to share a room. I need advice on how to make this work. I still want her to be my friend although she doesn't want that, though I’ll be moving out of the State, but not for awhile. Homeless in High School
Since you feel you need her, you’d be wise to back off from fighting with her. However, if she’s aggressive and starts fights with you in which she hurts you, or upsets you with verbal abuse, then you’d be better off moving on to your family sooner. Your circumstances have made you grow up fast, so try to weigh your possible choices. If you can put up with her awhile longer, try not to start fights with her, and avoid her when she’s angry, you should be able to hang in till you move. If she’s making that choice impossible, or there’s some other reason the two of you must separate, go to your school counselor or principal and ask if they can direct you to a local agency which will help you find a place to live for the next few months. Depending on the age of majority in your State (most often 18) and where you live, the local YWCA may be helpful, or a church group, or other community service agency. There are also youth hostels and services for under-age teens who give solid reasons for being on their own, such as your homelessness. The U.S. national communication system for homeless and runaway youth, to help find local help agencies and organizations, is 1-800-runaway (786-2929), called the National Runaway Switchboard.
FEEDBACK Regarding the co-worker with a dangerously abusive husband (April 11): Reader – “She’d be safer leaving him from her work, not home. “She should confidentially ask her HR department or boss for a leave of absence to escape an abusive situation, without divulging her whereabouts. “On the day before leaving, having checked that a shelter has room for her, she should have documentation she’s compiled at work, and call police for escort to the shelter. “Three words to get police help fast: "I feel threatened.” “She should ask her friend to give a copy of her documentation to police, noting specific dates and events, dated and signed - they’re evidence in court. “Hopefully, her husband will be charged. “I used those words to escape my own dangerous situation. I also had a plan, and a cell phone. “Since she has little cash, her work friends could buy her a basic cell phone for contacting her children.” | positive |

The global lockdowns imposed to minimize external movement were a key element in increasing eCommerce adoption and enhancing digital purchasing behavior by customers. Leading retail companies around the world have witnessed a monumental increase in market capitalization due to the significant increase in eCommerce sales. The growth of the eCommerce sector has led to innovative policies by eCommerce companies to encourage consumer spending and simplify the purchasing journey. A key aspect of this innovation has emerged in the form of “Buy Now Pay Later” (BNPL) payment solutions that allow customers to make delayed payments on their own terms. The trend has witnessed major popularity during the pandemic due to the surge in unemployment and uncertain financial conditions. Before delving deeper into the benefits and applicability of Buy Now Pay Later solutions, let’s explore the nature of these solutions and how they function. What Are BNPL Solutions? BNPL solutions allow customers to spread out their purchase cost into multiple interest-free payments. These payment options allow customers to divide their purchase costs into smaller payments and pay at their own convenience. These solutions have embedded benefits for both customers and merchants because of the convenience offered on both ends. BNPL payments options have gained traction amongst customers because of their cash flow management benefits. Customers – Customers get to have the convenience of spreading out their payments over multiple installments spread out over flexible time periods. Unlike conventional installment-based payment methods, BNPL payment methods allow customers to divide payments without interest and additional fees. The sign-up and checkout process is also streamlined to minimize friction and enable one-click payments for recurring customers. Merchants – For merchants, offering BNPL payments can pave the way to improved conversions rates and basket amounts as offering convenient payments can enhance customer engagement and increase the rate of repeat purchases. Partnering with established payment companies like Klarna can also provide merchants with the safety of payment handling without conceding high fees. According to a recent report by Worldpay, BNPL became the fastest-growing eCommerce payment method in 2020. The rapid adoption of the payment options is driven by recurring customer payments and the popularity of the payment option with younger consumers. Throughout the global market, the payment option is outperforming credit cards as customers shift away from high-interest rates. Recent studies into consumer behavior point towards the majority of BNPL consumers being between 19 and 34 years of age. A significant percentage of the adopters are customers that have one credit card or less. For such consumers, payment options like Klarna offer a viable alternative. Exploring Klarna Based BNPL Payments Klarna has rapidly established its reputation as a leading player in the BNPL industry by offering consumers the ability to defer payments by 30 days. The company has been a pioneer in interest-free financing for consumers across different market segments. For merchants, the payment service offers the prospect of improved customer engagement and higher basket sizes. The platform has been rapidly expanding with recent outlooks pointing towards up to 11 million active users in the United States. The platform has also been growing at an aggressive rate with extraordinary quarterly growth. The company’s growth has been backed by millennial trends and pandemic conditions exerting increased financial pressure on digital consumers. Offering Klarna payments allows merchants to attract a wider customer audience and enhance customer trust due to the established reputation of the company. The deferred payment structure also serves as an effective marketing strategy across social media and other marketing channels. Benefits of Buy Now Pay Later Payments Thanks to the convenience offered by Buy Now Pay Later payments, customers are increasingly embracing the payment model to make digital purchases. Once the initial customer verification is established, BNPL payments can be performed on a single-click basis to provide convenient payment options to customers. Here are some of the biggest advantages of BNPL payments for customers. Simplified Sign-Up Process Unlike conventional banking products like credit cards, BNPL payment providers do not require extensive financial verifications. The simplified sign-up process makes it easier for younger consumers to apply and proceed with payments. The payment simplification is further supplemented with the widespread applicability of BNPL payments on leading eCommerce platforms around the world. Enhanced Financial Convenience Thanks to the deferred nature of payments, customers can avoid bearing the upfront costs of products with BNPL payments. The nature of payments can allow customers to invest finances in better investments and minimize the upfront cost affiliated with product purchases. This financial convenience is leading to increased transaction volume for merchants as well. The convenient payment structure can help younger consumers decrease debt pressure and shift away from compounding payments. Accurate Forecasting With an expansive payment spread, companies are able to accurately forecast revenue and streamline payment streams over a longer basis. The projected revenue scale is further supplemented with improved economics that allows companies to offer better deals to customers based on the collected data. The value proposition of BNPL payments also makes them ideal for customer acquisition and expansion. When brands offer simpler payment options, customers are much more likely to try newer products and engage with marketing efforts by the brand. The implementation of BNPL options also enhances transaction speed and encourages customers to make faster purchase decisions. However, it is essential for brands to maintain product quality to prevent a subsequent increase in product returns and exchanges. Improved Brand Trust Offering convenient payment options can have a significant positive impact on brand value by enhancing consumer trust. Offering trusted payment services like Klarna could positively impact merchant reputation and help improve customer traction due to the associated brand trust. Agile Product Model Unlike the interest rate associated with credit card payments, Buy Now Pay Later models are designed to provide convenient payment options to customers over longer durations. The interest-free nature of the payments allows customers to make bigger purchases and feel comfortable with larger transactional volumes. The disruptive nature of the BNPL model is paving the way for improved customer engagement in existing financial conditions where consumers are looking to minimize frontloaded expenses. According to a recent study, credit cards charge up to 29% interest rate on outstanding balances to customers. This aggressive interest rate is a key reason behind the adoption of BNPL payment methods, where customers are able to spread out payments without having to pay additional fees. Why Shift to Klarna Based Payments For merchants, BNPL payments offer the opportunity to expand into newer customer segments. With the financial challenges exposed due to the Covid 19 pandemic, customers are increasingly looking towards digital payment options as a way to make purchases. Across regions like Europe, where there are localized payment applications, having a name-brand payment provider like Klarna offers brands the opportunity to offer unified payment and decrease the barriers to entry. Currently, the payment platform has been successfully launched across 21 countries with a growing customer base in Europe, North America, and Oceania. The service provider is leading the way in consumer downloads in the BNPL payment category. Offering Klarna-based payments allows brands to offer a diversified payment option for local consumers. Studies point to card abandonment being a key concern for online merchants. BNPL payments decrease cart abandonment by offering simpler payment options to customers and enhancing conversion rates. A study by SimilarWeb pointed to a 50% decrease in cart abandonment on websites that offered BNPL payments. This trend points towards the potential benefits of offering simplified product financing for merchants. Major Developments in the Buy Now Payer Later Space The Buy Now Pay Later segment has been rapidly developing as major stakeholders start to explore the benefits of offering convenient payment options to consumers. Here are some of the biggest developments that indicate a positive landscape for the growth of BNPL in different segments. Apple recently announced a partnership with Affirm to offer customers long-term financing options. The collaboration is centered around 12- and 24-month financing options for Apple products. Affirm has also established partnerships with other leading market players, including Walmart and Shopify, to provide consumers with affordable upfront purchasing options. The financing options offered by the platform offer convenient payment options to customers ranging from six weeks to three years. Companies like Adidas and Peloton offer interest-free payment plans for their products across digital payments. Even though interest rates are largely variable depending on the partner payment vendor, the convenience is paving the way to seamless eCommerce purchases across the fashion industry. Square has also expanded into the BNPL segment through its Afterpay company to offer customers wider financing options for products. In the edu-tech sector, companies like Novae are offering BNPL-based financial education courses to improve entrepreneurship and encourage learning for consumers. Looking Ahead BNPL solutions offer an effective way for consumers to spread out the cost of their desired items over convenient periods. However, it is also important to consider the potential of overspending driven by impulsive purchases. It is essential to supplement these solutions with effective budgeting and cost-awareness to ensure timely loan payment and the prevention of applicable interest for consumers. With responsible deployment, the tool can be a great way to enhance eCommerce experiences for customers by offering them more freedom over their purchasing options. For merchants entering newer markets, offering BNPL payments offers the prospects of enhancing customer acquisition and improving brand awareness as well. By going with a proven service provider like Klarna, merchants can simplify customer decision-making by offering a trusted payment option. The popularity of BNPL solutions is paving the way for bigger players in the eCommerce market to offer personalized payment options to consumers. The win-win proposition offered by these solutions is encouraging credit card companies, retailers, and other stakeholders in the fintech industry to embrace bite-sized payments and expand the convenience payment setup. If leading retailers and financial companies shift towards offering BNPL options to consumers, bite-sized payments will be poised to become a leading trend in the future.

PORTLAND, OREGON -- AUGUST 30, 2013 -- Doc Mishler, who is reportedly raising money for hungry children, is heading into Portland on the shoulder of the eastbound lanes of highway 26. Mishler rode one horse and lead two others along Highway 26 and into Portland on Friday. He was escorted along the breakdown lane by several ODOT vehicles. Dave Killen/The Oregonian
Oregon highway officials just issued a warning to motorists that they should beware of a lone rider on horseback heading into Portland from Cedar Hills on U.S. 26.
Traffic on the busy highway may be slowed, said Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kimberly Dinwiddie.
"In the city, we don't see that," Dinwiddie said.
Doc Mishler, who is reportedly raising money for hungry children, is heading into the city on the shoulder of the eastbound lanes, Dinwiddie said.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Mishler offered this: "God did it again: camped out on the Nehalem river where it is but a bubbling brook, and I'm a babbling fool; now at the Comfort Inn in Hillsboro -- looking forward to riding thru Portland, if it be God's will...."
Department of Transportation "maintenance and incident response crews" will follow Mishler as he rides into town leading two pack horses so that no one gets hurt.
Motorists were warned to be extra alert and expect delays. Mishler will travel sections of U.S. 26 that permit non-motorized vehicles.The horseman told ODOT he plans to ride on two segments of U.S. 26 starting at 10 a.m.:
From Southwest Murray Boulevard to Cedar Hills Boulevard.
From the Oregon Zoo exit to the Jefferson Street off-ramp.

The decline of organized labor in the United States has contributed significantly to wage stagnation and rising inequality, according to a new report released Tuesday by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).
"Rebuilding our system of collective bargaining is an important tool available for fueling wage growth for both low- and middle-wage workers and ending the era of persistent wage stagnation."
—Economic Policy Institute
The analysis finds that as the share of private-sector workers in a union has fallen precipitously—from one in three in the 1950s to about one in 20 today—wage inequality has risen as a result. In particular, EPI states that the labor movement's decline has contributed to wage losses among workers who don't even belong to a union, which "translates into millions of lost dollars to American workers."
"Union decline has exacerbated wage inequality in the United States by dampening the pay of non-union workers as well as by eroding the share of workers directly benefiting from unionization," reads the EPI report. "Rebuilding our system of collective bargaining is an important tool available for fueling wage growth for both low- and middle-wage workers and ending the era of persistent wage stagnation."
The paper notes that several culprits have been blamed for the fact that pay for private-sector workers has "barely budged over the past three and a half decades"—including globalization, technological change, and the slowdown in Americans' educational attainment.
"Each of these accounts describes important developments contributing to pay stagnation and pay decline for certain groups of workers," EPI acknowledges. "Yet these explanations ignore a vital contributing factor: the near disappearance of a worker institution that once claimed over one-third of private-sector employees as members."

That is, unions.
In fact, the think tank found that if union membership rates were as high today as they were in 1979, men who aren't in a union would make five percent, or about $2,700 more, per year. For less educated men, the decline is even more impactful; non-union men without a bachelor's degree would have made $3,016 more in 2013―an 8 percent increase―under 1979 levels of union membership.
(The report notes that the impact for women is "not as substantial because women were not as unionized as men were in 1979"—but nor is it inconsequential: For 32.9 million full-time non-union women working in the private sector, annual pay would be roughly $24.0 billion more per year if unions had remained as strong as they were in 1979.)
"In the year of a presidential election characterized by populist discontent, the report's findings are fresh ammunition for progressives who maintain that strengthening unions, rather than, say, closing our borders to immigrants, is the key to restoring broad wage growth and stemming income inequality," reporter Daniel Marens wrote at the Huffington Post.
"Many American workers can see those unions as either minor bit players in today's economy or good for union members alone to the detriment of society at large," study co-author Jake Rosenfeld, a sociologist at Washington University in St. Louis, told the HuffPo. "This is a study that says that's wrong: unions are good for members and non-members alike."
Indeed, as Hamilton Nolan wrote in his analysis of the EPI report at Deadspin: "Don't get mad at foreigners. Unionize. It's the only battle in the class war that lies entirely within your power to win." | positive |

The agreement on nuclear energy is the latest in a series of similar deals between France and Arab countries.
The Emirates' WAM news agency said that an agreement would "boost relations between the two friendly countries through military cooperation".
Further details about the agreement were not immediately available.
Correspondents say the base will give France new ability to project its forces into a strategic oil-producing region.
The Gulf lives with chronic tension between the six Sunni Arab-led states on the Arabian peninsula, all strong US allies, on the one hand and America's arch-foe Iran, which is Shia Muslim.

What is going on? How do we explain this recent wave of secularization that is washing over so much of America?
The answer to these questions is actually much less theological or philosophical than one might think. It is simply not the case that in recent years tens of millions of Americans have suddenly started doubting the cosmological or ontological arguments for the existence of God, or that hundreds of thousands of other Americans have miraculously embraced the atheistic naturalism of Denis Diderot. Sure, this may be happening here and there, in this or that dorm room or on this or that Tumblr page. The best-sellers written by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris—as well as the irreverent impiety and flagrant mockery of religion by the likes of Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, House, South Park, and Family Guy—have had some impact on American culture. As we have seen, a steady, incremental uptick of philosophical atheism and agnosticism is discernible in America in recent years. But the larger reality is that for the many millions of Americans who have joined the ranks of the nonreligious, the causes are most likely to be political and sociological in nature.

For starters, we can begin with the presence of the religious right, and the backlash it has engendered. Beginning in the 1980s, with the rise of such groups as the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition, the closeness of conservative Republicanism with evangelical Christianity has been increasingly tight and publicly overt. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, more and more politicians on the right embraced the conservative Christian agenda, and more and more outspoken conservative Christians allied themselves with the Republican Party. Examples abound, from Michele Bachmann to Ann Coulter, from Mike Huckabee to Pat Robertson, and from Rick Santorum to James Dobson. With an emphasis on seeking to make abortion illegal, fighting against gay rights (particularly gay marriage), supporting prayer in schools, advocating “abstinence only” sex education, opposing stem cell research, curtailing welfare spending, supporting Israel, opposing gun control, and celebrating the war on terrorism, conservative Christians have found a warm welcome within the Republican Party, which has been clear about its openness to the conservative Christian agenda. This was most pronounced during the eight years that George W. Bush was in the White House.
What all of this this has done is alienate a lot of left-leaning or politically moderate Americans from Christianity. Sociologists Michael Hout and Claude Fischer have published compelling research indicating that much of the growth of “nones” in America is largely attributable to a reaction against this increased, overt mixing of Christianity and conservative politics. The rise of irreligion has been partially related to the fact that lots of people who had weak or limited attachments to religion and were either moderate or liberal politically found themselves at odds with the conservative political agenda of the Christian right and thus reacted by severing their already somewhat weak attachment to religion. Or as sociologist Mark Chaves puts it, “After 1990 more people thought that saying you were religious was tantamount to saying you were a conservative Republican. So people who are not Republicans now are more likely to say that they have no religion.”
A second factor that helps account for the recent rise of secularity in America is the devastation of, and reaction against, the Catholic Church’s pedophile priest scandal. For decades the higher-ups in the Catholic Church were reassigning known sexual predators to remote parishes rather than having them arrested and prosecuted. Those men in authority thus engaged in willful cover-ups, brash lawbreaking, and the aggressive slandering of accusers—and all with utter impunity. The extent of this criminality is hard to exaggerate: over six thousand priests have now been credibly implicated in some form of sex abuse, five hundred have been jailed, and more victims have been made known than one can imagine. After the extent of the crimes—the rapes and molestations as well as the cover-ups—became widely publicized, many Americans, and many Catholics specifically, were disgusted. Not only were the actual sexual crimes themselves morally abhorrent, but the degree to which those in positions of power sought to cover up these crimes and allow them to continue was truly shocking. The result has been clear: a lot of Catholics have become ex-Catholics. For example, consider the situation in New England. Between 2000 and 2010, the Catholic Church lost 28 percent of its members in New Hampshire and 33 percent of its members in Maine, and closed nearly seventy parishes—a quarter of the total number—throughout the Boston area. In 1990, 54 percent of Massachusetts residents identified as Catholic, but it was down to 39 percent in 2008. And according to an “American Values” survey from 2012, although nearly one-third of Americans report being raised Catholic, only 22 percent currently identify as such—a precipitous nationwide decline indeed.
Of course, the negative reaction against the religious right and the Catholic pedophile scandal both have to do explicitly with religion. But a very important third possible factor that may also account for the recent rise of secularity has nothing to do with religion. It is something utterly sociological: the dramatic increase of women in the paid labor force. British historian Callum Brown was the first to recognize this interesting correlation: when more and more women work outside the home, their religious involvement—as well as that of their families— tends to diminish. Brown rightly argues that it has been women who have historically kept their children and husbands interested and involved in religion. Then, starting in the 1960s, when more and more British women starting earning an income through work outside the home, their interest in—or time and energy for—religious involvement waned. And as women grew less religious, their husbands and children followed suit. We’ve seen a similar pattern in many other European nations, especially in Scandinavia: Denmark and Sweden have the lowest levels of church attendance in the world, and simultaneously, Danish and Swedish women have among the highest rates of outside-the-home employment of any women in the world. And the data shows a similar trajectory here in America. Back in the 1960s, only 11 percent of American households relied on a mother as their biggest or sole source of income. Today, more than 40 percent of American families are in such a situation. Thus it may very well be that as a significantly higher percentage of American moms earn a living in the paid labor force, their enthusiasm for and engagement with religion is being sapped, and that’s playing a role in the broader secularization of our country.
Additional Factors
In addition to the above factors—the reaction against the overt mingling of religion and conservative/right-wing politics, the reaction against the Catholic priest pedophile scandal, and the increase of women in the paid labor force—I would add two more possibilities concerning what might also be at least partial contributors to the recent rise of irreligion in America: the greater acceptance of homosexuality in American culture and the ubiquity of the Internet.

Since the days of Stonewall and Harvey Milk, more and more Americans have come to accept homosexuality as a normal, legitimate form of love and pairing. For many, acceptance of homosexuals simply boils down to a matter of fairness, civil rights, and equality before the law. The overall stigmatization of homosexuality has weakened significantly in recent decades. We see that those Americans who continue to malign homosexuality as sinful or immoral, and who continue to fight against gay rights, do so exclusively from a religious vantage point. And it is turning some people off religion. In my previous book, Faith No More: Why People Reject Religion, which was based on in-depth interviews with Americans who were once religious but are no longer, I found that many of those who have walked away from their religion in recent years have done so as a direct consequence of and reaction against their respective religious tradition’s continued condemnation and stigmatization of gays and lesbians. The fact that Americans today between the ages of eighteen and thirty are the generation most accepting of homosexuality in the nation’s history, and are simultaneously those least interested in being religious—and the fact that the states that have legalized gay marriage tend to be among the most secular—might be coincidental, but I highly doubt it.
Next, the Internet has had a secularizing effect on society in recent decades. This happens on various levels. First, religious people can look up their own religion on the Web and suddenly, even unwittingly, be exposed to an array of critiques or blatant attacks on their tradition that they otherwise would never have come across. Debunking on the Internet abounds, and whether one is a Mormon, a Scientologist, a Catholic, a Jehovah’s Witness—whatever—the Web exposes the adherents of every and any religious tradition to skeptical views that can potentially undermine personal certainty, rattling an otherwise insulated, confident conviction in one’s religion.
We see direct evidence of this happening more and more. For example, in her ongoing research on nonbelieving clergy, Linda LaScola has found that many pastors and ministers who have lost their faith in God cite their time spent on the Internet as a factor in their emergent atheism. In another study of an extremely segregated, close-knit, almost secretive Satmar Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York, sociologist Hella Winston also found evidence of the Web’s secularizing potential. Many of her informants went online, often secretively, and what they found there helped to erode their religious provincialism, sometimes directly prodding their emergent questioning and even abetting their eventual rejection of their religion.
Second, the Internet allows people who may be privately harboring doubts about their religion to immediately connect with others who also share such doubts. In other words, the Internet fosters and spurs secular community. Nascent atheists, skeptics, humanists, agnostics—even those in the most remote or fundamentalist of communities—can reach out to others online, instantly finding comfort and information, which encourages or strengthens their secularity.

Third, and perhaps most subtle, the Web may be partly responsible for the rise of irreligion simply by what it is, what it can do, what it can provide, how it functions, and how it interfaces with us and our minds and our desires and our lives. The Internet may be supplying something psychological, or feeding something neurological, or establishing something cultural via its individual-computer-screen nexus, something dynamic that is edging out religion, replacing religion, or weakening religion. The entertainment available on the Internet, the barrage of imagery, the simultaneity, the mental stimulation, the looking and clicking, the hunting and finding, the time-wasting, the consumerism, the constant social networking, the virtual communication—all of it may be undermining religion’s ability to hold our interest, draw our attention, tap our soul.

Dr. Barry Kosmin is the founding director of the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society and Culture, housed (none too ironically) at Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut. This institute, founded in 2005, is the first of its kind in America—or the world, for that matter. Its goal is “to advance understanding of the role of secular values and the process of secularization in contemporary society and culture.” Dr. Kosmin is emphatic about the need to understand the rise of irreligion. As he argues, “We need to study secular people because they’re a growing proportion of the population. This has political, social, intellectual, and moral implications. While the salience of religion has been duly studied, we also need to see what is happening on the other side. We need to examine the nonreligious portion of humanity. If we only study religious people, and we ignore secular people, we are not getting the whole spectrum, the whole picture.”

I couldn’t agree more.
There is an important, durable line that links the ancient Carvaka, Kohelet, Lucretius, Wang Ch’ung, and Muhammad al-Razi to Sally, the American mom of the twenty-first century. It is a fascinating, compelling line—part philosophical, part practical, part political, part personal—and it courses through history and winds ever strongly through our contemporary society. But it is a line of human culture that hasn’t been adequately recognized, scrutinized, or appreciated. The Sallys of the world simply haven’t been studied much. And this is not only strange but unfortunate, as it skews our understanding not only of what it means to be secular or religious, or what it means to be American, but what it means to simply be human.
It’s Only Natural

Given that secular people are now more abundant than ever before, and that social scientists such as Barry Kosmin are finally beginning to study secular people with real deliberate rigor, hopefully our ability to counter some of the gross mischaracterizations out there concerning secular people will mature and strengthen. And the mischaracterizations out there concerning secular people—people like Sally—are quite troublesome. For example, many people characterize atheists or nonreligious men and women as some sort of aberrant, anomalous, or unnatural species of human being. And I’m not talking about Roman Catholic Inquisitors of the sixteenth century making such assertions but contemporary academics.
Consider Christian Smith, who is the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Sociology and director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame. At a 2012 roundtable conference held at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University, Professor Smith—who is one of the most prolific and erudite sociologists of religion in the country, as well as a really affable guy—put forth the thesis that religion is natural to the human condition, while secularity is not. By way of analogy, he characterized being religious as akin to walking forward and upright on two legs and being secular as akin to crabwalking backward on all fours; the latter can be done, but it goes against our true human nature.
And Professor Smith is far from alone in espousing this viewpoint; it is a fairly widespread notion, held by academics and nonacademics alike, that religiosity is the sort of natural, innate default position of humankind, while being secular is some sort of oddity, corruption, or aberration. Sociologist Paul Froese characterizes religiosity as “essential,” “universal,” and “fundamental” to the human condition, thereby rendering the secular condition as ultimately unnatural and untenable. Psychology professor Justin Barrett further argues that humans are literally “born believers,” and thus atheism is a problematic, indoctrinated retardation of an otherwise natural, normal human predilection. Theism, such individuals tell us, is simply in our wiring, in our human nature—while atheism is decidedly not.

I hear various permutations of this position all the time, and it basically goes like this: “Religion has existed in every human society and culture, right? Religion is basically a universal, isn’t it? So doesn’t that mean that religion is an essential and intrinsic component of the human condition?”
Not quite.
First off, one can readily agree that religion is pervasive the world over. And one can also happily acknowledge that religion has existed, in some form or another, in every society and culture for which we have data. Good enough. But that does not mean that every member of any given society or culture is religious, nor even necessarily a majority of any given society or culture. For example, 42 percent of the Dutch today describe themselves as being nonreligious, and another 14 percent describe themselves as being convinced atheists—meaning that being religious in the Netherlands today is actually to be in the minority. Same thing in the Czech Republic. And Japan. And anthropologists such as Daniel L. Everett have even lived among indigenous tribes deep in the Amazon rain forest whose members don’t believe in anything supernatural—no gods, no ghosts. So just because religion is culturally and historically widespread does not mean that it is embraced by everyone.
By way of analogy, consider dance. Dance is just as universal as religion: it has existed, in one form or another, in every culture and society, past and present. And yet we know that many individuals don’t care much for dancing. Many find it awkward. Many find it embarrassing. Many more are simply uninterested in it, or are downright oblivious to it. And still others are actively opposed to it, finding it to be immoral or wicked. So while dance may be “universal,” that does not automatically mean that all humans are dancers. Millions are not.

For yet one more analogy, consider violent crime. It is just as widespread as religion and dance. It exists in all societies and cultures, past and present. And yet we know that not all people are violent criminals. Most aren’t. So just because a phenomenon exists in all human enclaves does not make it innate or natural to all people. And I would argue that this is exactly the case with religion: not all humans are religious. As nineteenth-century abolitionist and feminist Ernestine Rose argued over a hundred years ago, “We are told that Religion is natural; the belief in a God universal. Were it natural, then it would indeed be universal; but it is not.”
Which leads to my second point: as the earlier part of this chapter revealed, there are a hell of a lot of secular people out there in the world—according to recent analyses, approximately 450 to 700 million nonbelievers worldwide. Given those numbers, it is problematic to consider something so widespread as an unnatural aberration. As sociologists Marta Trzebiatowska and Steve Bruce have recently argued, “The proposition that all people are innately religious might have been plausible in 1800, but there are now so many people . . . who do not hold supernatural beliefs, who have no involvement with religious organizations, and who describe themselves as ‘non-religious’ that . . . we have enough non-religious people to defeat the universal claim.”
Third, even if we can recognize that there are certain innate neurological, psychological, and/or cognitive predispositions that might tend to make humans religious (for example, the proclivity to see patterns, the tendency to assume some sort of agency behind certain phenomena, the desire to feel a sense of connection, to be part of a like-minded group)—as the work of such scholars as Pascal Boyer reveals—that does not mean that there aren’t other similar, simultaneous, competing, or complementary innate predispositions that tend to make some humans skeptical, agnostic, atheist, religiously indifferent, or affirmatively secular.
So while the author Nicholas Wade writes of a “faith instinct,” we can certainly argue that there is also a “doubt instinct” or a “reasoninstinct” that is just as persistent and inherent to our nature. As cognitive psychologists Armin Geertz and Guomundur Ingi Markusson so astutely argue, “Atheism . . . draws on the same natural cognitive capacities that theism draws on,” and both “religiosity and atheism represent entrenched cognitive-cultural habits where the conclusions drawn from sensory input and the output of cognitive systems bifurcate in supernatural and naturalistic directions. The habit of atheism may need more scaffolding to be acquired, and its religious counterpart may need more effort to kick, but even so, that does not, ipso facto, make the latter more natural than the former.” Amen to that.

At the recommendation of both Attorney General Jeff Sessions and from Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey yesterday. In his letter to Comet, President Trump stated that he believed FBI Director James Comey was “not able to effectively lead the Bureau.” Deputy Attorney General Rod J.Rosenstein blamed Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email case. Attorney General Sessions agreed with Rosenstein saying “a fresh start is needed at the leadership of the FBI.”
In its 109-year history, only one F.B.I. director had been fired — until Tuesday, when President Trump fired James B. Comey. In July 1993, President Bill Clinton fired William S. Sessions, who had been nominated to the post by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. Mr. Clinton said his attorney general, Janet Reno, reviewed Mr. Sessions’s leadership and concluded “in no uncertain terms that he can no longer effectively lead the bureau.”
Mr. Sessions had been cited for ethical lapses, including taking free trips on F.B.I. aircraft and using government money to build a $10,000 fence at his home. Mr. Sessions was asked to resign, and was fired when he refused to do so. “Despite the president’s severe tone, he seemed to regret having to force Mr. Sessions from his post,” The New York Times wrote about his dismissal:
WASHINGTON, July 19— President Clinton today dismissed William S. Sessions, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who had stubbornly rejected an Administration ultimatum to resign six months after a harsh internal ethics report on his conduct. Mr. Clinton said he would announce his nominee to replace Mr. Sessions on Tuesday. He was expected to pick Judge Louis J. Freeh of Federal District Court in Manhattan; officials said Judge Freeh had impressed Mr. Clinton favorably on Friday at their first meeting. Mr. Clinton, explaining his reasons for removing Mr. Sessions, effective immediately, said, “We cannot have a leadership vacuum at an agency as important to the United States as the F.B.I. It is time that this difficult chapter in the agency’s history is brought to a close.” Defiant to the End But in a parting news conference at F.B.I. headquarters after Mr. Clinton’s announcement, a defiant Mr. Sessions — his right arm in a sling as a result of a weekend fall — railed at what he called the unfairness of his removal, which comes nearly six years into his 10-year term. take our poll - story continues below Will the media learn anything from their biased reporting of the Jussie Smollett story?

Similarly, Mr. Trump fired Mr. Comey on the recommendation of his attorney general, Jeff Sessions. (No relation to William S. Sessions.) There are no United States statutes that discuss the president’s authority to remove the F.B.I. director. – NYT’s
Coincidence?
President Bill Clinton fired FBI Director William S. Sessions on July 19, 1993
Vince Foster was found dead on July 20, 1993
Was the suspicious death of Vince Foster and the firing of Republican FBI Director William S. Sessions firing a coincidence? Did President Clinton need an FBI Director who was willing to look the other way when it came to the alleged criminal activities of the Clintons?
From NewsMax December 4, 2003 via Free Republic.
“Vince Foster: What the Media Won’t Tell You”
“Major media outlets reported Wednesday on the Supreme Court hearing of California lawyer Allan Favish’s case that government photographs of Vincent Foster’s death scene be released for public viewing. The media report that no fewer than five investigations have found that Foster committed suicide because he was depressed. But despite 10 years of denial by the major media, the Foster case has not “closed” – as the Supreme Court hearing Wednesday demonstrated.
The case won’t close because of the failure of authorities to make full disclosure – and to conduct a full investigation into the case, including a complete autopsy.
Vince Foster was not only deputy White House counsel but also the personal attorney to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
On the night of Foster’s death, top Clinton aides made a frantic effort to enter and remove documents from his West Wing office. In the days that followed, federal investigators were stymied in their investigation of Foster’s office and strange death.
Since Foster’s July 1993 death, the facts of his death have been obfuscated by friends of Bill and Hillary in the major media, but here’s the undeniable truth:
There weren’t “five” investigations into Foster’s death, as the media report. The Park Police, best known for their meter and horse patrols around Washington, were put in charge of the initial death inquiry of the most important federal official to die suspiciously since President Kennedy. The Park Police, contradicting standard procedure, declared the death a suicide before launching their inquiry.
The FBI never officially investigated the case but simply signed off on the Park Police “probe.” The bureau had little choice. The day before Foster’s death, Bill Clinton hurriedly fired the director of the FBI, William Sessions. Sessions later charged that Clinton had “politicized” the bureau.
Later, Robert Fiske, selected by Clinton’s counsel Bernie Nussbaum and Janet Reno, quickly confirmed the Park Police probe as a suicide.
But when Ken Starr entered the investigation, he reopened the case. His chief prosecutor in the case, Miquel Rodriguez, later quit the Starr investigation, claiming that Starr’s staff was engaging in a cover-up of Foster’s death.
Rodriguez, a Harvard-educated federal prosecutor, argued that one of the Polaroid photos taken of Foster at the crime scene indicated an additional wound on Foster’s neck – never noted on the autopsy report. Favish’s suit before the Supreme Court is seeking to release this photo, among others.
No fewer than three of the paramedics on the scene indicated in reports or testimony that the crime scene was consistent with a murder scene, not a suicide.
A careful FBI microscopic investigation of Foster’s shoes found not a trace of soil or grass stains on them, though he supposedly walked several hundred yards through wooded Fort Marcy Park to where his body was found. [Years later, Starr’s investigation found plenty of soil and grass stains. Rodriguez charged that the shoes were tampered with to produce such “evidence.”]
According to the FBI report on Vince Foster’s death (below) blonde hairs were found on the body of Vince Foster, but were never investigated:
Foster was found with little blood around his body – and despite claims that he fired the gun into his mouth, practically no blood was found on the front of his shirt.
Foster was found with a 1913 revolver no one in his family could claim, with two serial numbers, made from the parts of three or more guns. None of Foster’s fingerprints were found on the gun.
For years, detail after detail emerged questioning the official ruling. Significant questions were raised about the unusual gun – a .38 Colt revolver made from the parts of three guns with two serial numbers – found conveniently in Vince’s hand. The Park Police said one of the serial numbers indicated the gun was vintage 1913 – and had no pedigree. Foster family members insisted neither Foster nor his father ever owned the old revolver. The NCIC keeps records of all law enforcment inquiries of serial numbers. On March 23, 2001, the FBI responded to requests made by a man names Craig Brinkley: Serial number 356555, one of the numbers on the gun, was never searched, not by the FBI, the Park Police or by that “investigation” by Ken Starr. Serial number 355055 was found on the frame of the gun. Brinkley believes that was the gun’s real nnumber. That number was indeed searched by the Park Police, on the evening of Foster’s death, more exactly at 22:45 EDT on July 20, 1993. Interestingly, searches were conducted on the same serial number no fewer than three times earlier that year, before Foster’s death, on March 3, March 7 and April 29. Was someone checking to see that this gun had a “clean” predigree and was untraceable?
The bullet from the gun that supposedly killed Foster was never found, despite intensive searches.
Despite claims to the contrary, no one who knew Foster, including Hillary, Web Hubbell and his own wife, saw signs of depression.
A so-called suicide note was found in an office briefcase that had been searched and found to be empty after Foster’s death. The note was torn into 27 pieces. Yet an FBI examination found no trace of Foster’s fingerprints on the note and a top Oxford handwriting expert found the note to be an “obvious” forgery.
Despite the enormity of the case, Foster’s autopsy lasted an astounding 45 minutes. The coroner in the case had previously been overruled in other cases he declared “suicides” that were later found to be murders.
All of the X-rays taken during the autopsy are missing.
Complete crime scene photos don’t exist. The Park Police said all the photos were “accidentally” overexposed. A series of close-up Polaroids, which Favish is suing for, remain. This is just a brief summary of the dozens of inconsistencies in the case. Two New York homicide investigators who looked into the case concluded that Foster’s body had been moved to the crime scene and that murder could not be ruled out.
Despite overwhelming evidence of a cover-up, the media won’t question the official ruling.
Ken Starr, who could find no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the Clintons during his “intensive” probe, confirmed a ruling of suicide. Starr even hired O.J. Simpson’s defense expert to prove his case.
On August 23, 2016, The Daily Mail revealed that FBI agents’ reported interviews documenting that Hillary Clinton’s stinging humiliation of her friend and mentor Vince Foster in front of White House aides triggered the suicide of Vince Foster were missing from where they should be filed at the National Archives.
On the first visit, archivist David Paynter provided the box of records that he said contained the FBI reports of interviews conducted by FBI agents on Foster’s death.
On a second visit, archivist James Mathis provided what he said were those same documents.
While the box contained dozens of FBI reports concerning Foster’s death – including interviews with the medical examiner, U.S. Park Police officers, and White House aides about the contents of Foster’s office – the reports on Hillary Clinton’s role in his death were absent.
After filing a Freedom of Information request with the National Archives, Martha Murphy, the archives’ public liaison, reported that she directed a senior archivist to conduct a more thorough review of the relevant FBI files, including those that had not been previously made public in response to FOIA requests.
‘He examined all eight boxes but found no interviews by any investigator that detail either a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster or the effects of a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster on Vince Foster’s state of mind,’ Murphy reported in an email.
After firing Republican FBI Director William S. Session, President Bill Clinton temporarily replaced him with Floyd I. Clarke and then on September 1, 1993 he Louis Freeh became the FBI Director.
Louis Freeh coincidentally hired James Comey for his first job.
Right from the start, the Freeh FBI was drenched in controversy. The “screw-ups” were legion—from the exposure of fraudulent FBI crime lab results to the wrongful blaming of an innocent man for the bombings at the Atlanta Olympics—to the bloody standoff and shootout at Ruby Ridge.
But enough about the crimes of the Clinton’s and the hypocrisy of the media who would have chosen to ignore the suspicious timing of President Clinton’s firing of his FBI Director William S. Sessions. We should all just ignore the unmitigated mess James Comey made of Hillary’s email scandal that put our national security at risk while he was serving as the director of the FBI, and instead, focus on a way to blame Comey’s incompetence on President Trump.

A rush hour ban for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) may not be the answer to improving cyclist safety, a Parliamentary Transport Committee heard yesterday.
London’s Cycling Commissioner Andrew Gilligan, along with a transport, academic, London Assembly Member and freight industry representatives, said enforcement of “very very high levels of non-compliance” and stricter standards for lorries in London would do more to improve safety.
Other suggestions were better cyclist training and improved road design, including segregated cycle tracks.
Gilligan, said: “It’s finely balanced: an HGV ban in rush hour could have saved two of the 14 cyclists who have died and the other 12 didn’t involve HGVs or happened outside rush hour.
“However, there are counter risks, firstly that it would lead to a flood of HGVs onto the streets immediately after the ban, say 9am.”
He also refuted the argument that the Paris rush hour lorry ban has saved lives. He said: “In the four years before it came in (in 2006) there were nine cyclist deaths in Paris, and in the four years after there were 18 cyclist deaths.”
Meanwhile, freight representatives said a lorry ban could increase the cost of living for Londoners.
Jack Semple, of the Road Haulage Association, said: “A peak hour ban would add a minimum of 25-30% to haulage costs in London. It is far from clear as to whether there would be a benefit in terms of road safety outcomes.”
Val Shawcross, Chair of Labour’s Transport Committee and member of the London Assembly, said: “The first thing is that [HGVs] should all comply with the FORS [Fleet Operator Recognition] scheme. I’m not sure that [the lorry ban] is a well researched proposal, cyclists do under the wheels of HGV at all times of day. At congested times traffic is very slow and speed is implicated with serious injuries.”
Andrew Gilligan said: “In our recent police operation in London and in our first operations which were a sort of try-out, which took place in Vauxhall a few weeks ago, we’ve seen really striking levels of non-compliance with HGVs. The majority of lorries at Vauxhall failed to comply with one regulation or another, not necessarily safety critical regulations but there’s very very high numbers of non-compliance so it may be that enforcement is something we need to do.”
The Mayor’s construction industry standard will be launched next week. At present some construction lorries are exempt from certain mirrors and side bars, which prevent a person being dragged under the vehicle in a collision, and the suggestion is to heavily charge those vehicles entering the city.
Jerry Mclaughlin, Director of Economics for the Mineral Products Association, said there are operators cutting corners. “We welcome the increased and targeted enforcement effort that has been going on over the past couple of months,” he said.
Mike Cavenett of the London Cycling Campaign, said the charity supports a rush hour ban but there is a risk this could mean lifting current restrictions on night time lorry movements, which could affect people’s sleep and therefore health. He said: “Most cycle commuters are doing normal commutes to normal jobs. Peak hours for cycling are between 8-10am. If you only allow lorries on the streets when there’s fewer cyclists on the roads it would make cycling and walking to work safer but it must not be a trade off for quality of life at other times of day.”
The second session of the Transport Committee will be held tomorrow, where “cycling minister” Robert Goodwill, among others, will give evidence.

Media are scaring people off cycling says London cycling commissioner | positive |
The average American watches somewhere around 5 hours of TV per day (although that figure varies quite dramatically by age), and roughly one-quarter of that programming is advertising, details Nielsen in its latest annual “Advertising and Audiences” report [download page], timed for the Upfront season. In fact, commercial clutter has been gradually increasing on network TV, where 14-and-a-quarter minutes of commercial aired during each hour of programming last year, up by almost one minute from 2009 (13:25).
Ad loads on cable are even larger – and have grown even more quickly over the past 5 years. Last year, 15 minutes and 38 seconds of commercials aired on average per hour of cable TV programming, up from 14 minutes and 27 seconds in 2009, though down from a peak of 16 minutes and 11 seconds in 2011.
(The article’s headline says “exposed” to ads – because there’s a good debate to be had about how many of these ads are being watched, particularly as multitasking continues to be popular.)
Meanwhile, TV ad spending continues to rise, growing by 3% year-over-year last year (its slowest rate since at least 2010) to reach $78 billion. Why the rise in spending? Aside from increasing ad loads, TV ads continue to have an immense influence on consumers’ purchase decisions, as seen in this detailed MarketingCharts analysis of the US TV ad market.
Interestingly, though, the average cost of a primetime 30-second TV spot (broadcast and cable) has been steadily dropping over the years, down to roughly $7,800 last year from $8,900 in 2009. That may be the result of shifts in viewing behavior, though the Nielsen report doesn’t outline any trends with regards to primetime audiences. It does reveal a shift in primetime viewing habits by day of the week: Sunday boasts the largest primetime audience for the 2013-2014 season-to-date, with an average of 125 million persons with sets in use.
Returning to commercials, the report indicates that 30-second spots are becoming less prominent choices for advertisers. Last year, they accounted for 53% of commercials aired – down from 62% in 2000. By contrast, the 15-second spot has become increasingly popular, growing to 44% share of commercials aired, from 35% in 2000. Nielsen notes that “95 percent of neuro-optimized, shortened ads performed as well as or better than their original :30 counterparts.”
Nielsen recently reported that the overall number of TV households in the US grew by 0.4% last year to 116.3 million. The number of TV homes has grown in the past decade among African-American households (13.2 million to 14.9 million), Hispanic households (10.9 million to 14.7 million) and Asian-American households (4.1 million to 5.2 million).
Even so, Whites account for 71.3% share of primetime TV usage for the season-to-date, versus 14.5% for African-Americans and 3.4% for Asian-Americans. And Hispanics account for 14.2% share of primetime usage, such that they under-index relative to their share of the population. | positive |
When the California-based clothing company Patagonia released a short animated video last month—”What the Pluck?”—it sparked a flurry of media coverage of the gruesome live-plucking and force-feeding that the geese who grow the feathers for down coats are subjected to.
For an outerwear brand that does a brisk business in $450 down jackets (despite its pleas to customers to “buy less”), this might seem a strange message to spread. But for Patagonia, which has made its commitment to social responsibility and environmental sustainability a central part of its message, the ethical alarm came with an assurance that the geese used in its own down jackets—going forward—are treated humanely (unlike those of cheaper competitors selling “conventional down”).
Patagonia has developed a process which it says ensures that no birds were live-plucked or force fed: the 100% Traceable Down Standard (pdf), which requires third-party auditing of the entire supply chain. In the spring of 2013, the company launched the program, and promised that all its down would be 100% traceable by fall of this year.
Patagonia’s moral high ground on this issue was hard-won. The commitment comes four years after an animal rights group, Four Paws, accused Patagonia (pdf) of live-plucking its birds on Hungarian farms. The company denied Four Paws’ claims—in 2009 Patagonia had asked its suppliers to ensure that its birds weren’t live-plucked—but later found out that the geese on the farms it was sourcing from in Hungary were being force-fed to fatten them and engorge their livers for foie gras. (Down is a by-product of the meat industry, and many birds used for down are also slaughtered for their meat and livers.)
Courtesy of Patagonia, Inc. Patagonia’s Ultra Light down hoodie for men is part of its 100% traceable down collection.
Conventionally, birds used for down are born at parent farms where they can stay up to four years as they lay eggs and are plucked for their feathers as many as four times a year (pdf). The painful process tears the birds’ skin and can cause enough pain to kill the birds. China produces 70% of the world’s down, exporting about $1.9 billion annually. Eastern European countries, including Hungary and Poland, are also major sources.
Birds are then taken to breeding farms, which is where force-feeding most commonly occurs. When they are ready to be killed for their meat, the birds are moved to slaughterhouses. Lastly, their bodies are taken to down processors for post-mortem plucking.
In Patagonia’s system, an independent auditor makes sure no birds are live-plucked or force-fed through every step of the supply chain via periodic audits and other requirements (pdf). Egg-laying birds are kept at parent farms for up to four years, laying eggs and not being plucked. Then they are taken to slaughterhouses, where the birds are slaughtered for meat and plucked post-mortem.
One alternative to plucking feathers, though not as profitable, is ”gathering” them following the birds’ natural molting cycle (pdf), according to the European Food Safety Authority. However, on large farms, not all birds molt at exactly the same time and even with gathering, there is a chance some feathers may be live-plucked. Consequently, Patagonia tells Quartz, its suppliers do not gather down until after the birds are slaughtered.
Reuters/Fred Thornhill Most of the world’s down is collected on farms in China.
Patagonia isn’t the only down coat company working to reduce cruelty in the down production processes. In January 2014, the North Face announced its own model, the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). Partnering with Control Union Certification and Textile Exchange, an accredited third-party certification body, the North Face has said that its RDS clothing will go on sale in the fall of 2015.
The Vancouver-based outerwear brand Westcomb sources its down from Canadian Hutterites, a religious group with a tradition of ethically raised and slaughtered geese. And Coleman, working with the animal rights group PETA, completely stopped using natural down in its jackets and sleeping bags, choosing synthetics instead.
It’s unlikely that most companies using down will switch to synthetics. Down has a greater warmth-to-weight ratio (pdf) than synthetic materials such as Polarguard, Primaloft, and Thinsulate, and brands such as UNIQLO, whose much-loved down jackets and vests are ubiquitous in cities around the world, depend on it.
But in the crowded market for cold-weather outerwear, a socially responsible agenda could distinguish a brand and boost sales. ”Down, for Patagonia, is a significant part of our business,” Patagonia’s spokeswoman, Jess Clayton, tells Quartz. “Traceable will only help.”
And once that ethical bar is raised, companies that don’t meet the new standards can suffer. For example, the French-Italian luxury brand Moncler recently saw a drop in its share price after a TV show alleged bad treatment of the geese used for its $1,000-plus coats, setting off a storm of critical social media attention. | positive |

Nigeria can diversify though carnivals – Emir of Machina Menu Skip to content Home News Business Politics Art & Life Sports Feature/Interview Supplement April 25, 2019 April 28, 2019 samnworah Nigeria can diversify though carnivals – Emir of Machina This slideshow requires JavaScript. The Emir of Machina, Alh. (Dr) Bashir Albishir Bukar, says it’s very important to diversify the economy from mono economy, especially the over dependence on crude oil for sustenance. He posits that crude oil will not sustain the country for long because according to him there are indices in support of diversifying the economy from over dependent on crude oil. He made this disclosure at the 2019 Abuja Carnival Lectures. He suggests that one of the areas Nigeria needs to diversify into is the tourism industry, and cultural activities. He gave example of Brazil, India and Egypt who are now supporting their economy through tourism activities like carnivals. “If Brazil, India, Egypt can get themselves through, I think Nigeria is eager than this countries”, he says. He calls on the Nigerian government to give full support and backing, and also on well to do individuals in the society to come and partner with the carnival group and support them in order to come up with something tangible for the country. He says that wealthy individuals can to go into sponsorship of carnivals by identifying with cultural groups in different societies. “We can even sponsor some of our youths to go international and perform”, he added.

Anyone can try to assassinate a politician, storm a parliament or blow up the Louvre. But it takes a special kind of terrorist to gun down the people who publish a satirical magazine.
"We have killed Charlie Hebdo," they shouted. "We have avenged the Prophet Mohammed." According to one witness, they spoke flawless French.
The terrorists who struck in the heart of Paris on Wednesday were not mentally imbalanced or socially marginalized. They were highly organized assassins who believe the West should live under a caliphate governed by strict Islamist law, and that blasphemers should die.

This attack – the deadliest terrorist attack on French soil in 50 years – may well pitch the country into profound crisis, because it crystallizes what everybody knows. France has a serious Muslim problem, a serious immigration problem and a serious terrorism problem, and the political class has no idea what to do about it. France is an easy target for Islamist terrorists because a large number of French Muslims are sympathetic to their causes.
Ironically, Charlie Hebdo's latest issue featured a cover story on Michel Houellebecq, a well-known provocateur whose new novel, Submission, predicts that France will vote for Muslim rule in less than a decade. The book has been denounced as a gift to anti-immigrant leaders like Marine Le Pen, the fastest-rising star in French politics. Earlier this week, before the killings, French President François Hollande cautioned that while literary freedom must be respected, the French must not give into "fear" of "submersion, invasion, submission."
But the critics have it exactly wrong. France's problem is not that it has too much literary freedom. The problem is the attack on freedom by a murderous ideology.
Among the elites both inside and beyond France, it is fashionable to dismiss anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment as parochial and backward – a symptom of "the bitterness of those who feel alienated in a world they find bewildering and hateful," as Ian Buruma put it in The Globe and Mail last weekend.
The non-elites see things differently. France's Muslim population has reached an estimated 6.5 million – roughly 10 per cent of the population – and many of them have assimilated poorly. Despite the billions of euros poured into immigrant-dominated "sensitive urban zones" since the riots of 2005, nothing has improved. Youth unemployment in these areas is upward of 40 per cent, according to The Economist. Sixty per cent of France's prison inmates are of "Muslim religion or culture," and the prisons have become breeding grounds for radicalization.
The allure of the Islamic State has drawn hundreds of French nationals to Syria. And support for them is surprisingly widespread. "This is the ideology of young French Muslims from immigrant backgrounds," said Newsweek's France correspondent, Anne-Elizabeth Moutet.
The Western fight against the Islamic State isn't the only provocation. French Muslims from sub-Saharan Africa have found their own jihad in the conflict in Mali, where Muslim insurgents are battling a French-backed international force. Marc Trévidic, a top anti-terrorism judge, says the French have to get used to the idea that terrorism is here to stay. "We will have to accept this reality without deluding ourselves," he told Le Journal du Dimanche. "It means we have to accept that attacks will succeed and there will be deaths."

And whatever Mr. Buruma may say, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment has spread far beyond French society's left-behinds. An Ipsos survey published in 2013 found that 74 per cent of French citizens view Islam as "intolerant" and "incompatible" with French values. Seventy per cent of respondents said there are too many foreigners in France, and 67 per cent said they no longer feel at home in their own country. As writer and filmmaker Emmanuel Carrère put it, France is undergoing a "huge mutation."
The elites were shocked when Ms. Le Pen's National Front scored big gains in last year's European elections. In retrospect, nothing could have been more predictable – except, perhaps, a fresh horror like Wednesday's.
France's agonizing problems are in plain sight. And there's no easy fix. | positive |

A fantastically filmed short video (3:40) on the methods of making a traditional book from setting the printing plates to adding the leather covering.
One of the best short video documentaries I’ve seen on bookbinding, well worth a watch.
A simple overview of the bookbinding process
Setting the typeset at the printers into words and lines. Plates are inked and prepared for the printing process.
Paper sheets are then pressed on the inked type.
Moving onto the binders, the sheets are folded and then cut. After this they are hammered flat and the signatures are sewn onto cord.
The spine is then rounded using a hammer and the cover boards are attached to glued bands. After which the paper edges need to be trimmed so they are clamped tightly in a vice and trimmed using a sharp flat blade.
Endbands are then sewn into the top and bottom of the spine for protection and a leather cover is glued to the outside of the book for additional protection and aesthetic appeal. Decorations are added to the leather using hot metal tools. After this process is finished endpapers are added and the book is complete.

St Kilda's iconic Greyhound Hotel - a more than 160-year-old venue that morphed into a centre for drag-queen culture - has closed its doors for the last time.
The pub near the corner of St Kilda Road and Carlisle Street had been earmarked for demolition to make way for new apartments, but campaigners hoped to save it.

In a statement to Fairfax Media on Friday, hotel management said the closure was due to recent developments outside the owners' control that had left the business insolvent.
"Despite recent headlines regarding the development potential of the GH hotel site, this is not the reason for the closure. Keeping the GH hotel open for the community has always been the priority of the owners. Unfortunately this is now no longer a viable option," the statement read. | positive |

Challenges to High-Quality Local Governance and Public Service Provision on China’s Ethnic Periphery”. Read full paper Abstract Sara Newland, July 2016 Often assumed to be an ethnically homogenous country, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in fact has a substantial minority population with 54 officially recognized ethnic groups that comprise close to 10 percent of the population. Integrating these diverse groups, many of which have a centuries-long history of conflict with the Han Chinese, into a unified Chinese nation-state has been a core policy challenge for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since 1949.1 At first, these challenges were largely political and ideological. The CCP struggled to integrate minority elites, many of whom did not share a common language or culture with the overwhelmingly Han leaders of the CCP, into the party. They also sought to create political institutions that both respected local cultural practices and combined these diverse regions under a single, unified state, a challenge that the Soviet Union also had to confront.

Rex Tillerson finally tells the truth about fracking. It lowers property values.
Rex Tillerson finally tells the truth about fracking. It lowers property values.
Tillerson has joined a lawsuit that cites fracking’s consequences in order to block the construction of a 160-foot water tower next to his and his wife’s Texas home. The Wall Street Journal reports the tower would supply water to a nearby fracking site, and the plaintiffs argue the project would cause too much noise and traffic from hauling the water from the tower to the drilling site. The water tower, owned by Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation, “will sell water to oil and gas explorers for fracing [sic] shale formations leading to traffic with heavy trucks on FM 407, creating a noise nuisance and traffic hazards,” the suit says. Though Tillerson’s name is on the lawsuit, a lawyer representing him said his concern is about the devaluation of his property, not fracking specifically. When he is acting as Exxon CEO, not a homeowner, Tillerson has lashed out at fracking critics and proponents of regulation. “This type of dysfunctional regulation is holding back the American economic recovery, growth, and global competitiveness,” he said in 2012.
Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson may be the world's biggest fracker (Exxon is the biggest natural gas producer in the U.S.) but he isn't stupid. He'll frack my backyard and tell me it's good for me and he'll frack your place too, but don't let any frackers near his home. He knows damn well that fracking lowers property values, but he wouldn't admit it until the frackers came to his place. He just joined a lawsuit to stop the fracking because it would lower the value of his property.Thousands of North Carolinians, like me, living in Moore, Lee, Chatham, Orange, Wake and Durham counties want to keep fracking out of our communities because fracking is incompatible with biotech, IT, retirement, higher education, world class hospitals, and the wonderful farm to market movement that has developed in central North Carolina. Our properties, our universities and schools, our farms, our retirement communities, our hospitals and our businesses deserve the same protection from loss of property values and environmental damage as Rex Tillerson's. And our children deserve clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. | positive |
Build an ethical supply chain for the cosmetics and personal care market: The Nagoya protocol Toggle navigation Categories Latest beauty trends Taking action for the planet and people Encouraging all kinds of beauty Innovation sharing Meet the expert Provitalks All our ebooks Contact our team of experts EN ES PL FR PT Spreading Clean Beauty Build an ethical supply chain for the cosmetics and personal care market: The Nagoya protocol Taking action for the planet and people 9 minutos An ethical supply chain is one that respects both the environment and the people and communities involved in the production process. More and more, consumers’ expectations go beyond superficial elements and scrutinize brands’ behaviours at every level. For instance, in the cosmetics market, this has meant a greater demand for ingredient transparency. Consumers no longer just demand these movements from brands: they’re ready to take action. In fact, according to the 2021 global Euromonitor survey, 17% of consumers are willing to pay more for environmental and ethically conscious products, while 9% will pay more for products developed in a fair trade. At the same time, sustainability expands to include purpose-driven action. The same survey found that, when asked “which of the following activities do you typically do to be active in political and social issue?”, the majority of participants answered “buy from brands that support social and political issues that are aligned with my values”. These consumer trends are sending a clear message to companies: build an ethical supply chain and clients will follow. In order to align with this, brands must look for reliable suppliers that are able to provide sustainable, ethical ingredients. Keep reading to find out how Provital, by becoming the first cosmetic ingredient supplier to meet the Nagoya protocol, has managed to become an unmissable partner for brands looking to shape their own ethical supply chain. Content The Nagoya protocol: the key for an ethical supply chain An example for an ethical supply chain: Mujeres y ambiente, a Nagoya-subscribed Provital project The Nagoya protocol: the key for an ethical supply chain The Nagoya Protocol was established in 2002 with the aim of implementing the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources, thereby contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. This protocol recognises the need for international legislation that supervises an interconnected world where companies are looking back to nature and humanity’s age-old knowledge. This aligns with the rise of organic and natural beauty and personal care products, also known as biocosmetics, regulated by international certifications. At the same time, guaranteeing biodiversity conservation throughout the value chain and the rise of organic skincare certifications for private labels have been adopted by companies in order to provide solutions for increasingly conscious and informed consumers. The Nagoya protocol recognises that countries have sovereign rights over genetic resources and traditional knowledge. Thus, whenever a global company approaches these resources to develop new, innovative products, these rights must be respected. All in all, when benefits arise from research or commercial use, these should be shared in a fair and equitable manner with the country providing the resources. More than 100 countries have adhered to this protocol, building a background for ethical biocommerce that guarantees greater transparency in the traceability of end products, while also strengthening the relationships between suppliers, companies and customers. Following our commitment to help companies build an ethical supply chain, Provital is the first cosmetic ingredients supplier worldwide to achieve the Internationally Recognized Certificate of Compliance (IRCC) at Access and Benefit-Sharing Clearing-House (ABSCH). In other words, we’re the first company in our industry to hold the official certificate that confirms that our company fulfills Nagoya Protocol requirements. An example for an ethical supply chain: Mujeres y ambiente, a Nagoya-subscribed Provital project The Mujeres y ambiente project has opened the door for Provital to become the first cosmetic ingredients’ supplier to fulfill Nagoya protocol requirements. While we work to produce and sell active ingredients for the cosmetics industry from plant sources, we acquire plants all over the world. However, building a trustworthy, ethical supply chain is a priority for us, as we try to be in touch directly with farmers. The Mujeres y ambiente project is an example for this. It was founded by Doña Eulalia Moreno and her two daughters with the objective of improving the livelihoods of local farming communities through a micro-enterprise focused on the sustainable cultivation of vegetables, and medicinal and aromatic plants.The project actively focuses on toronjil or agastache mexicana, a native plant to Mexico which we use for our active Agascalm™. Through this project, we ensure we help promote women’s empowerment and local, sustaining economies. Thus, our production plant in Mexico builds local teams that are focused on training and infrastructure, which also allows the community to increase their income and economic development. TheMujeres y ambiente project has then become many things: it’s a sustainable, social farming project that also incorporates research and educational processes. It all translates into promoting local ethical sourcing, biodiversity and sustainable cultivation. Provital’s commitment with an ethical supply chain goes beyond this award-winning project. For instance, we’ve also shared our benefits with Africa’s traditional knowledge holders in order to build our Affipore™ active ingredient. Provital thus has become the perfect partner for companies that are developing their own ethical supply chain. M. Romero Media manager You may also like...

Nov 1, 2015; Portland, OR, USA; Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder Mauro Rosales (7) vs the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. The Timbers and Whitecaps tied 0-0. Mandatory Credit: Bob Frid - USA TODAY Sports
Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced on Monday that midfielder Mauro Rosales is rejoining the club, after spending a season with FC Dallas.
It never rains, but it pours. And Vancouver Whitecaps fans can tell you all about rain. Even their new 2017 jerseys are covered in triangles representing raindrops.
After an anxious offseason, the last week has been busy for ‘Caps fans. First, Fredy Montero signed. Then, Brek Shea was acquired in exchange for Giles Barnes. And now, Mauro Rosales is back.
A week after he was apparently instrumental in engineering Montero’s signing, the Argentinean midfielder signed an MLS contract for 2017. Previously, Rosales spent a season and a half with the Whitecaps from August 2014 to the end of the 2015 season. During that time, he scored one goal and provided six assists in 36 appearances. Rosales spent the 2016 MLS season with FC Dallas.
Rosales’ arrival is likely in response to the injury Reyna sustained in the final preseason match against Portland. With Yordy Reyna’s injury and Pedro Morales’ departure, coach Carl Robinson’s options at the #10 position were limited, and Rosales will provide some depth at that position.
Locker-room presence
At 36 years old, he will be unlikely to start often. However, Rosales may make his biggest contribution in the locker-room. Robinson has a track record of bringing in experienced players to provide mentorship for his younger players. Robert Earnshaw and Pa-Modou Kah are good examples. Both players have subsequently transitioned into coaching roles at the club.
Robinson seems to expect something similar from Rosales, judging by his quotes in the Whitecaps’ announcement.
“We have some talented young attacking players, and along with our coaching staff, Mauro is one of the best ones to teach them. He brings professionalism, the right attitude, and demands the best from teammates. He is a welcome addition back to our club.”
Rosales will also be able to help Montero adjust, having played on the same team with him previously in Seattle.
Rosales will not be eligible to participate in the CONCACAF Champions League return leg against the New York Red Bulls, due to already playing for FC Dallas in the same competition.
What do you think Rosales will bring to the Whitecaps? Leave us your comments below. | positive |

With a population of over 123 million in 2017, Mexico ranks as the 11th most populated country in the world. It is the most populous Spanish-speaking country and the third-most populous in the Americas after United States and Brazil.[7] Throughout most of the twentieth century Mexico's population was characterized by rapid growth. Although this tendency has been reversed and average annual population growth over the last five years was less than 1%, the demographic transition is still in progress, and Mexico still has a large cohort of youths. The most populous city in the country is the capital, Mexico City, with a population of 8.9 million (2016), and its metropolitan area is also the most populated with 20.1 million (2010). Approximately 50% of the population lives in one of the 55 large metropolitan areas in the country. In total, about 78.84% of the population of the country lives in urban areas, meaning that only 21.16% live in rural areas.[citation needed]
The Census Inegi in Mexico is the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI). The National Population Council (CONAPO), is an institution under the Secretary of the Interior in charge of the analysis and research of population dynamics. The National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples (CDI), also undertakes research and analysis of the sociodemographic and linguistic indicators of the indigenous peoples in Mexico.
In 2016, Mexico's total fertility rate dropped below replacement-level fertility for the first time (i.e., less than 2.1 children born per woman).

In 1900, the Mexican population was 13.6 million.[9] During the period of economic prosperity that was dubbed by economists as the "Mexican Miracle", the government invested in efficient social programs that reduced the infant mortality rate and increased life expectancy. These measures jointly led to an intense demographic increase between 1930 and 1980. The population's annual growth rate has been reduced from a 3.5% peak in 1965 to 0.99% in 2005. While Mexico is now transitioning to the third phase of demographic transition, close to 50% of the population in 2009 was 25 years old or younger.[10] Fertility rates have also decreased from 5.7 children per woman in 1976 to 2.2 in 2006.[11] The average annual population growth rate of the capital, the Federal District, was the first in the country at 0.2%. The state with the lowest population growth rate over the same period was Michoacán (-0.1%), whereas the states with the highest population growth rates were Quintana Roo (4.7%), and Baja California Sur (3.4%),[12] both of which are two of the least populous states and the last to be admitted to the Union in the 1970s. The average annual net migration rate of the Federal District over the same period was negative and the lowest of all political divisions of Mexico, whereas the states with the highest net migration rate were Quintana Roo (2.7), Baja California (1.8) and Baja California Sur (1.6).[13] While the national annual growth rate was still positive (1.0%) in the early years of the 2000s, the national net migration rate was negative (-4.75/1000 inhabitants), given the former strong flow of immigrants to the United States; an estimated 5.3 million undocumented Mexican immigrants lived in the United States in 2004[14] and 18.2 million American "Citizens" (does not differentiate between those born to documented vs undocumented immigrant migration data) in the 2000 Census declared having Mexican ancestry.[15] However, as of recent years in the 2010s, the net migration rate reached 0, given the strong economy of Mexico, changes in US Immigration Policy & Enforcement, US Legislative and CFR-8 decisions, plus the (then) slowly recovering US economy, causing many of its former residents to return. The Mexican government projects[16] that the Mexican population will grow to about 123 million by 2042 and then start declining slowly. Assumptions underlying this projection include fertility stabilizing at 1.85 children per woman and continued high net emigration (slowly decreasing from 583,000 in 2005 to 393,000 in 2050).
The states and the Federal District that make up the Mexican federation are collectively called "federal entities". The five most populous federal entities in 2005 were the State of Mexico (14.4 million), the Federal District (8.7 million), Veracruz (7.1 million), Jalisco (6.7 million) and Puebla (5.4 million), which collectively contain 40.7% of the national population. Mexico City, being coextensive with the Federal District, is the most populous city in the country, while Greater Mexico City, that includes the adjacent municipalities that comprise a metropolitan area, is estimated to be the second most populous in the world (after Tokyo), according to the UN Urbanization Report.
Intense population growth in the northern states, especially along the US-Mexican border, changed the country's demographic profile in the second half of the 20th century, as the 1967 US-Mexico maquiladora agreement through which all products manufactured in the border cities could be imported duty-free to the US. Since the adoption of NAFTA in 1994, which allows all products to be imported duty-free regardless of their place of origin within Mexico, the non-border maquiladora share of exports has increased while that of border cities has decreased.[17] This has led to decentralization and rapid economic growth in Mexican states (and cities), such as Quintana Roo (Cancun), Baja California Sur (La Paz), Nuevo Leon (Monterrey), Queretaro, and Aguascalientes. The population of each of these five states grew by more than one-third from 2000-2015, while the whole of Mexico grew by 22.6% in this period.
UN estimates
According to the 2012 revision of the World Population Prospects, the total population was 117,886,000 in 2010, compared to only 28,296,000 in 1950. The proportion of children below the age of 15 in 2010 was 30%, 64% of the population was between 15 and 65 years of age, and 6% was 65 years or older.[18]

International migration
Immigration to Mexico
Aside from the original Spanish colonists, many Europeans immigrated to Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Non-Spanish immigrant groups included British, Irish, Italian, German, French and Dutch.[27] Large numbers of Middle Eastern immigrants arrived in Mexico during the same period, mostly from Syria and Lebanon.[28] Asian immigrants, mostly Chinese, some via the United States, settled in northern Mexico, whereas Koreans settled in central Mexico.[29]
During the 1970s and 1980s Mexico opened its doors to immigrants from Latin America, mainly political refugees from Chile, Cuba, Peru, Colombia and Central America. The PRI governments, in power for most of the 20th century, had a policy of granting asylum to fellow Latin Americans fleeing political persecution in their home countries. A second wave of immigrants has come to Mexico as a result of the economic crises experienced by some countries in the region. The Argentine community is quite significant estimated to be somewhere between 11,000 and 30,000.[30][31]
Due to the 2008 Financial Crisis and the resulting economic decline and high unemployment in Spain, many Spaniards have been emigrating to Mexico to seek new opportunities.[32] For example, during the last quarter of 2012, a number of 7,630 work permits were granted to Spaniards.[33]
Mexico is also the country where the largest number of American citizens live abroad, with Mexico City playing host to the largest number of American citizens abroad in the world. The American Citizens Abroad Association estimated in 1999 that a little more than one million Americans live in Mexico (which represent 1% of the population in Mexico and 25% of all American citizens living abroad).[34] This immigration phenomenon could well be explained by the interaction of both countries under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but also by the fact that Mexico has become a popular destination for retirees, especially the small towns: just in the State of Guanajuato, in San Miguel de Allende and its surroundings, 10,000 Americans have their residence.[35]
Discrepancies between the figures of official legal aliens and all foreign-born residents is quite large. The official figure for foreign-born residents in Mexico in 2000 was 493,000,[36] with a majority (86.9%) of these born in the United States (except Chiapas, where the majority of immigrants are from Central America). The six states with the most immigrants are Baja California (12.1% of total immigrants), Mexico City (the Federal District; 11.4%), Jalisco (9.9%), Chihuahua (9%), and Tamaulipas (7.3%).[36]
Emigration from Mexico
The national net migration rate of Mexico is negative, estimated at -1.8 migrants per 1,000 population as of 2017 .[37] The great majority of Mexican emigrants have moved to the United States of America. This migration phenomenon is not new, but it has been a defining feature in the relationship of both countries for most of the twentieth century.[38] During World Wars I and II, the United States government approved the recruitment of Mexican workers in their territory, and tolerated unauthorized migration in order to obtain additional farmers and industrial-workers to fill the necessary spots vacated by the population in war, and to supply the increase in the demand for labor. Nonetheless, the United States unilaterally ended the wartime programs - in part as a result of arguments from labor and from civil-rights groups.[39] In spite of that, emigration of Mexicans continued throughout the rest of the 20th century at varying rates. It grew significantly during the 1990s and continued to do so in the first years of the 2000s. In fact, it has been estimated that 37% of all Mexican immigrants to the United States in the 20th century arrived during the 1990s.[38] In 2000 approximately 20 million American residents identified themselves as either Mexican, Mexican-Americans or of Mexican origin, making "Mexican" the sixth-most cited ancestry of all US residents.[40]
In 2000, the INEGI estimated that about eight million Mexican-born people, which then was equivalent to 8.7% of the population of Mexico itself, lived in the United States of America.[41] In that year, the Mexican states sending the greatest numbers of emigrants to the United States were Jalisco (170,793), Michoacán (165,502), and Guanajuato (163,338); the total number of Mexican emigrants to the United States in 2000, both legal and illegal, was estimated at 1,569,157; the great majority of these were men.[42] Approximately 30% of emigrants come from rural communities.[43] In 2000, 260,650 emigrants returned to Mexico.[44] According to the Pew Hispanic Center in 2006, an estimated ten percent of all Mexican citizens lived in the United States.[45] The population of Mexican immigrants residing illegally in the United States fell from around seven million in 2007 to about 6.1 million in 2011.[46] This trajectory has been linked[by whom?] to the economic downturn which started in 2008 and which reduced available jobs, and to the introduction of stricter immigration laws in many States.[47][48][49][50] According to the Pew Hispanic Center the total number of Mexican-born people had stagnated in 2010 and then began to fall.[51]
After the Mexican-American community, Mexican Canadians are the second-largest group of emigrant Mexicans, with a population of over 50,000.[citation needed] A significant but unknown number of mestizos of Mexican descent migrated to the Philippines during the era of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, when the Philippines was a territory under the rule of Mexico city.[52] Mexicans live throughout Latin America as well as in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates.
Cities and metropolitan areas
Settlements, cities and municipalities
In 2005 Mexico had 187,938 localidades (lit. "localities" or "settlements"), which are census-designated places, which could be defined as a small town, a large city, or simply as a single unit housing in a rural area whether situated remotely or close to an urban area. A city is defined to be a settlement with more than 2,500 inhabitants. In 2005 there were 2,640 cities with a population between 2,500 and 15,000 inhabitants, 427 with a population between 15,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, 112 with a population between 100,000 and one million, and 11 with a population of more than one million.[73] All cities are considered "urban areas" and represent 76.5% of total population. Settlements with less than 2,500 inhabitants are considered "rural communities" (in fact, more than 80,000 of those settlements have only one or two housing units). Rural population in Mexico is 22.2% of total population.[73]
Municipalities (municipios in Spanish) and boroughs (delegaciones in Spanish) are incorporated places in Mexico, that is, second or third-level political divisions with internal autonomy, legally prescribed limits, powers and functions. In terms of second-level political divisions there are 2,438 municipalities and Mexico and 16 semi-autonomous boroughs (all within the Federal District). A municipality can be constituted by one or more cities one of which is the cabecera municipal (municipal seat). Cities are usually contained within the limits of a single municipality, with a few exceptions in which small areas of one city may extend to other adjacent municipalities without incorporating the city which serves as the municipal seat of the adjacent municipality. Some municipalities or cities within municipalities are further divided into delegaciones or boroughs. However, unlike the boroughs of the Federal District, these are third-level administrative divisions; they have very limited autonomy and no elective representatives.
Municipalities in central Mexico are usually very small in area and thus coextensive with cities (as is the case of Guadalajara, Puebla and León), whereas municipalities in northern and southeastern Mexico are much larger and usually contain more than one city or town that may not necessarily conform a single urban agglomeration (as is the case of Tijuana).
Metropolitan areas
A metropolitan area in Mexico is defined to be the group of municipalities that heavily interact with each other, usually around a core city.[74] In 2004, a joint effort between CONAPO, INEGI and the Ministry of Social Development (SEDESOL) agreed to define metropolitan areas as either:[74]
the group of two or more municipalities in which a city with a population of at least 50,000 is located whose urban area extends over the limit of the municipality that originally contained the core city incorporating either physically or under its area of direct influence other adjacent predominantly urban municipalities all of which have a high degree of social and economic integration or are relevant for urban politics and administration; or
a single municipality in which a city of a population of at least one million is located and fully contained, (that is, it does not transcend the limits of a single municipality); or
a city with a population of at least 250,000 which forms a conurbation with other cities in the United States of America.
In 2004 there were 55 metropolitan areas in Mexico, in which close to 53% of the country's population lives. The most populous metropolitan area in Mexico is the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico, or Greater Mexico City, which in 2005 had a population of 19.23 million, or 19% of the nation's population. The next four largest metropolitan areas in Mexico are Greater Guadalajara (4.1 million), Greater Monterrey (3.7 million), Greater Puebla (2.1 million) and Greater Toluca (1.6 million),[75] whose added population, along with Greater Mexico City, is equivalent to 30% of the nation's population. Greater Mexico City was the fastest growing metropolitan area in the country since the 1930s until the late 1980s. Since then, the country has slowly become economically and demographically less centralized. From 2000 to 2005 the average annual growth rate of Greater Mexico City was the lowest of the five largest metropolitan areas, whereas the fastest growing metropolitan area was Puebla (2.0%) followed by Monterrey (1.9%), Toluca (1.8%) and Guadalajara (1.8%).[75]
Ethnic groups
Mexico is ethnically diverse. The second article of the Mexican Constitution defines the country to be a pluricultural state originally based on the indigenous peoples and combined with European heritage through the process of colonization and "mestizaje".
Mestizo
A large majority of Mexicans have been classified as "Mestizos", meaning in modern Mexican usage that they identify fully neither with any indigenous culture nor with a Spanish cultural heritage, but rather identify as having cultural traits incorporating elements from both indigenous and Spanish traditions. By the deliberate efforts of post-revolutionary governments, the "Mestizo identity" was constructed as the base of the modern Mexican national identity through a process of cultural synthesis referred to as mestizaje [mestiˈsahe]. Mexican politicians and reformers, such as José Vasconcelos and Manuel Gamio, were instrumental in building a Mexican national identity upon the concept of mestizaje.[77][78]
Since the Mestizo identity, promoted by the Mexican government, is more of a cultural identity than a biological one, it has achieved a strong influence in the country. With a good number of white and indigenous people identifying with it, it has led to the true racial demographics of Mexico being skewed since the criteria for many censuses is cultural rather than genetic.[79][80]
In the Yucatán peninsula the word Mestizo has a different meaning, with it being used to refer to the Maya-speaking populations living in traditional communities, because during the caste war of the late 19th century those Maya who did not join the rebellion were classified as Mestizos.[81] In Chiapas the word "Ladino" is used instead of mestizo.[82]
Given that the word Mestizo has different meanings in Mexico, estimates of the Mexican Mestizo population vary widely. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, which uses a biology-based approach, between one half and two thirds of the Mexican population is Mestizo.[83] A culture-based estimate gives the percentage of Mestizos as high as 90%.[84] Paradoxically, the word Mestizo has long been dropped from popular Mexican vocabulary, with the word even having pejorative connotations,[81] which further complicates attempts to quantify Mestizos via self-identification.
Indigenous peoples
Prior to contact with Europeans the indigenous peoples of Mexico had not had any kind of shared identity.[85] Indigenous identity was constructed by the dominant Euro-Mestizo majority and imposed upon the indigenous people as a negatively defined identity, characterized by the lack of assimilation into modern Mexico. Indigenous identity therefore became socially stigmatizing.[86] Cultural policies in early post-revolutionary Mexico were paternalistic towards the indigenous people, with efforts designed to help indigenous peoples achieve the same level of progress as the rest of society, eventually assimilating indigenous peoples completely to Mestizo Mexican culture, working toward the goal of eventually solving the "Indian problem" by transforming indigenous communities into mestizo communities.[87]
The category of "indigena" (indigenous) in Mexico has been defined based on different criteria through history, this means that the percentage of the Mexican population defined as "indigenous" varies according to the definition applied. It can be defined narrowly according to linguistic criteria including only persons that speak an Indigenous language, based on this criteria approximately 5.4% of the population is Indigenous.[88] Nonetheless, activists for the rights of indigenous peoples have referred to the usage of this criteria for census purposes as "statistical genocide"[89][90]
The Mexican constitution not only recognizes the 62 indigenous peoples living in Mexican territory but also grants them autonomy and protects their culture and languages. This protection and autonomy is extended to those Amerindian ethnic groups which have migrated from the United States — like the Cherokees and Kickapoos — and Guatemala during the 19th and 20th centuries. Municipalities in which indigenous peoples are located can keep their normative traditional systems in relation to the election of their municipal authorities. This system is known as Usos y Costumbres, roughly translated as "customs and traditions".
According to official statistics —as reported by the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples or CDI— Amerindians make up 10-14% of the country's population,[citation needed] more than half of them (5.4% of total population) speak an indigenous language and a tenth (1.2% of total population) do not speak Spanish.[91] Official statistics of the CDI[92] report that the states with the greatest percentage of people who speak an Amerindian language or identify as Amerindian are Yucatán (59%), Oaxaca (48%), Quintana Roo (39%), Chiapas (28%), Campeche (27%), Hidalgo (24%), Puebla (19%), Guerrero (17%), San Luis Potosí (15%) and Veracruz (15%). Oaxaca is the state with the greatest number of distinct indigenous peoples and languages in the country.
Mexicans of European descent

European Mexicans are Mexican citizens of full or majority European descent.[93] Europeans began arriving in Mexico during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire and continued immigrating to the country during colonial and independent Mexico. According to 20th and 21st century academics, large scale intermixing between the European immigrants and the native Indigenous peoples would produce a Mestizo group which would become the overwhelming majority of Mexico's population by the time of the Mexican revolution.[94]
Estimates of Mexico's white population differ greatly in both, methodology and percentages given, extra-official sources such as the World factbook and Encyclopedia Brittanica, which use the 1921 census results as the base of their estimations calculate Mexico's White population as only 9%[95] or between one tenth to one fifth one tenth or one fifth[96] (the results of the 1921 census, however, have been contested by various historians and deemed innaccurate).[97]
Mexico’s northern and western regions have the highest percentages of European population, with the majority of the people not having native admixture or being of predominantly European ancestry, resembling in aspect that of northern Spaniards.[98] In the north and west of Mexico, the indigenous tribes were substantially smaller than those found in central and southern Mexico, and also much less organized, thus they remained isolated from the rest of the population or even in some cases were hostile towards Mexican colonists. The northeast region, in which the indigenous population was eliminated by early European settlers, became the region with the highest proportion of whites during the Spanish colonial period. However, recent immigrants from southern Mexico have been changing, to some degree, its demographic trends.[99]
While the majority of European immigration to Mexico has been Spanish with the first wave starting with the colonization of America and the last one being a consequence of the Spanish Civil War of 1937,[100] immigrants from other European countries have arrived to Mexico as well: during the Second Mexican Empire the immigration was mostly French, and during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries migrants mainly from Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany followed.[27][101] Additionally small numbers of White Americans, Croats, Armenians, Greeks, Poles, Romanians, Russians and Ashkenazi Jews came.[101] The European Jewish immigrants joined the Sephardic community that lived in Mexico since colonial times, though many lived as Crypto-Jews, mostly in the northern states of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.[102] Some communities of European immigrants have remained isolated from the rest of the general population since their arrival, among them the German-speaking Mennonites from Russia of Chihuahua and Durango,[103] and the Venetos of Chipilo, Puebla, which have retained their original languages.[104]
Arab Mexicans
An Arab Mexican is a Mexican citizen of Arabic-speaking origin who can be of various ancestral origins. The vast majority of Mexico's 1.1 million Arabs are from either Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, or Palestinian background.[105]
The interethnic marriage in the Arab community, regardless of religious affiliation, is very high; most community members have only one parent who has Arab ethnicity. As a result of this, the Arab community in Mexico shows marked language shift away from Arabic. Only a few speak any Arabic, and such knowledge is often limited to a few basic words. Instead the majority, especially those of younger generations, speak Spanish as a first language. Today, the most common Arabic surnames in Mexico include Nader, Hayek, Ali, Haddad, Nasser, Malik, Abed, Mansoor, Harb, and Elias.
Arab immigration to Mexico started in the 19th and early 20th centuries.[citation needed] Roughly 100,000 Arabic-speakers settled in Mexico during this time period. They came mostly from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq and settled in significant numbers in Nayarit, Puebla, Mexico City and the Northern part of the country (mainly in the states of Baja California, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Durango, as well as the city of Tampico and Guadalajara. The term "Arab Mexican" may include ethnic groups that do not in fact identify as Arab.
During the Israel-Lebanon war in 1948 and during the Six-Day War, thousands of Lebanese left Lebanon and went to Mexico. They first arrived in Veracruz. Although Arabs made up less than 5% of the total immigrant population in Mexico during the 1930s, they constituted half of the immigrant economic activity.[106]
Immigration of Arabs in Mexico has influenced Mexican culture, in particular food, where they have introduced Kibbeh, Tabbouleh and even created recipes such as Tacos Árabes (a.k.a. Tacos al Pastor). By 1765,[citation needed] Dates, which originated from the Middle East, were introduced into Mexico by the Spaniards. The fusion between Arab and Mexican food has highly influenced the Yucatecan cuisine.[107]
Another concentration of Arab-Mexicans is in Baja California facing the U.S.-Mexican border, esp. in cities of Mexicali in the Imperial Valley U.S./Mexico, and Tijuana across from San Diego with a large Arab American community (about 280,000), some of whose families have relatives in Mexico. 45% of Arab Mexicans are of Lebanese descent.
The majority of Arab-Mexicans are Christians who belong to the Maronite Church, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic Churches.[108] A scant number are Muslims and Jews of Middle Eastern origins.
Afro-Mexicans
[109] Vicente Guerrero , major figure during the late Mexican War of Independence, abolitionist and second President of Mexico, was an African-Mexican.
Afro-Mexicans are an ethnic group that predominate in certain areas of Mexico. Such as the Costa Chica of Oaxaca and the Costa Chica of Guerrero, Veracruz (e.g. Yanga) and in some towns in northern Mexico. The existence of blacks in Mexico is unknown, denied or diminished in both Mexico and abroad for a number of reasons: their small numbers, heavy intermarriage with other ethnic groups and Mexico's tradition of defining itself as a "mestizaje" or mixing of European and indigenous. Mexico did have an active slave trade since the early Spanish period but from the beginning, intermarriage and mixed race offspring created an elaborate caste system. This system broke down in the very late Spanish period and after Independence the legal notion of race was eliminated. The creation of a national Mexican identity, especially after the Mexican Revolution, emphasized Mexico's indigenous and European past actively or passively eliminating its African one from popular consciousness.
The majority of Mexico's native Afro-descendants are Afromestizos, i.e. "mixed-race". Individuals with significantly high amounts of African ancestry make up a very low percentage of the total Mexican population, the majority being recent black immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere in the Americas. According to the Intercensal survey carried out by the Mexican government, Afro-Mexicans make up 1.2% of Mexico's population, the Afro-Mexican category in the Intercensal survey includes people who self-identified solely as African and people who self-identified as partially African. The survey also states that 64.9% (896,829) of Afro-Mexicans also identified as indigenous, with 9.3% being speakers of indigenous languages.[110]
Asian Mexicans
Although Asian Mexicans make up less than 1% of the total population of modern Mexico, they are nonetheless a notable minority. Due to the historical and contemporary perception in Mexican society of what constitutes Asian culture (associated with the Far East rather than the Near East), Asian Mexicans are of East, South and Southeast Asian descent and Mexicans of West Asian descent are not considered to be part of the group.
Asian immigration began with the arrival of Filipinos to Mexico during the Spanish period. For two and a half centuries, between 1565 and 1815, many Filipinos and Mexicans sailed to and from Mexico and the Philippines as sailors, crews, slaves, prisoners, adventurers and soldiers in the Manila-Acapulco Galleon assisting Spain in its trade between Asia and the Americas. Also on these voyages, thousands of Asian individuals (mostly males) were brought to Mexico as slaves and were called "Chino",[111] which meant Chinese. Although in reality they were of diverse origins, including Japanese, Koreans, Malays, Filipinos, Javanese, Cambodians, Timorese, and people from Bengal, India, Ceylon, Makassar, Tidore, Terenate, and China.[112][113][114] A notable example is the story of Catarina de San Juan (Mirra), an Indian girl captured by the Portuguese and sold into slavery in Manila. She arrived in New Spain and eventually she gave rise to the "China Poblana".
These early individuals are not very apparent in modern Mexico for two main reasons: the widespread mestizaje of Mexico during the Spanish period and the common practice of Chino slaves to "pass" as Indios (the indigenous people of Mexico) in order to attain freedom. As had occurred with a large portion of Mexico's black population, over generations the Asian populace was absorbed into the general Mestizo population. Facilitating this miscegenation was the assimilation of Asians into the indigenous population. The indigenous people were legally protected from chattel slavery, and by being recognized as part of this group, Asian slaves could claim they were wrongly enslaved.
Asians, predominantly Chinese, became Mexico's fastest-growing immigrant group from the 1880s to the 1920s, exploding from about 1,500 in 1895 to more than 20,000 in 1910.[115]
Official censuses
Historically, population studies and censuses have never been up to the standards that a population as diverse and numerous such as Mexico's require: the first racial census was made in 1793, being also Mexico's (then known as New Spain) first ever nationwide population census. Since only part of its original datasets survive, most of what is known of it comes from essays made by researchers who back in the day used the census' findings as reference for their own works. More than a century would pass until the Mexican government conducted a new racial census in 1921 (some sources assert that the census of 1895 included a comprehensive racial classification;[94] however, according to the historic archives of Mexico's National Institute of Statistics, that was not the case).[116] While the 1921 census was the last time the Mexican government conducted a census that included a comprehensive racial classification, in recent years it has conducted nationwide surveys to quantify most of the ethnic groups who inhabit the country as well as the social dynamics and inequalities between them.
1793 census
New Spain in 1819, with the boundaries established by the Adams-Onís Treaty
Also known as the "Revillagigedo census" from the name of the Count who ordered that it be conducted, this census was the first nationwide population census of Mexico (then known as the Viceroyalty of New Spain). Most of its original datasets have reportedly been lost, so most of what is known about it nowadays comes from essays and field investigations made by academics who had access to the census data and used it as reference for their works, such as Prussian geographer Alexander von Humboldt. Each author gives different estimations for each racial group in the country although they don't vary greatly, with Europeans ranging from 18% to 22% of New Spain's population, Mestizos from 21% to 25%, Indians from 51% to 61%, and Africans from 6,000 and 10,000. The estimations given for the total population range from 3,799,561 to 6,122,354. It is concluded then, that across nearly three centuries of colonization, the population growth trends of whites and mestizos were even, while the total percentage of the indigenous population decreased at a rate of 13%–17% per century. The authors assert that rather than whites and mestizos having higher birthrates, the reason for the indigenous population's numbers decreasing lies in their suffering higher mortality rates due to living in remote locations rather than in cities and towns founded by the Spanish colonists or in being at war with them. For the same reasons, the number of Indigenous Mexicans presents the greatest variation range between publications, as in some cases their numbers in a given location were estimated rather than counted, leading to possible overestimations in some provinces and possible underestimations in others.[117]
Regardless of the possible inaccuracies related to the counting of Indigenous peoples living outside of the colonized areas, the effort that New Spain's authorities put into considering them as subjects is worth mentioning, as censuses made by other colonial or post-colonial countries did not consider American Indians to be citizens or subjects; for example, the censuses made by the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata would only count the inhabitants of the colonized settlements.[118] Another example is the censuses made by the United States, which did not include Indigenous peoples living among the general population until 1860, and indigenous peoples as a whole until 1900.[119]
1921 census
Made right after the consummation of the Mexican revolution, the social context in which this census was conducted makes it particularly unique, as the government of the time was in the process of rebuilding the country and was looking to unite all Mexicans in a single national identity. The 1921 census' final results in regards to race, which assert that 59.3% of the Mexican population self-identified as Mestizo, 29.1% as Indigenous, and only 9.8% as White, were then essential in cementing the mestizaje ideology (which asserts that the Mexican population as a whole is product of the admixture of all races), which shaped Mexican identity and culture through the 20th century and remains prominent nowadays, with extraofficial international publications such as The World Factbook and Encyclopædia Britannica using the 1921 census as a reference to estimate Mexico's racial composition up to this day.[120][83]
Nonetheless in recent times, the census' results have been subjected to scrutiny by historians, academics and social activists alike, who assert that such drastic alterations on demographic trends with respect to the 1793 census are impossible and cite, among other statistics, the relatively low frequency of marriages between people of different continental ancestries in colonial and early independent Mexico.[121] It is claimed that the mestizaje process sponsored by the state was more "cultural than biological", which resulted in the numbers of the Mestizo Mexican group being inflated at the expense of the identity of other races.[122] Controversies aside, this census constituted the last time the Mexican Government conducted a comprehensive racial census with the breakdown by states being the following (foreigners and people who answered "other" not included):[123]
When the 1921 census' results are compared with the results of Mexico's recent censuses[110] as well as with modern genetic research,[124] there is high consistency with respect to the distribution of Indigenous Mexicans across the country, with states located in south and south-eastern Mexico having both the highest percentages of population who self-identify as Indigenous and the highest percentages of Amerindian genetic ancestry. However, this is not the case when it comes to European Mexicans, as there are instances in which states that have been shown through scientific research to have a considerably high European ancestry are reported to have very small white populations in the 1921 census, with the most extreme case being that of the state of Durango, where the aforementioned census asserts that only 0.01% of the state's population (33 persons) self-identified as "white" while modern scientific research shows that the population of Durango has similar genetic frequencies to those found on European peoples (with the state's Indigenous population showing almost no foreign admixture either).[125] Various authors theorize that the reason for these inconsistencies may lie in the Mestizo identity promoted by the Mexican government, which reportedly led to people who are not biologically Mestizos to identify themselves as such.[126][127]
The present day
The following table is a compilation of (when possible) official nationwide surveys conducted by the Mexican government who have attempted to quantify different Mexican ethnic groups. Given that for the most part each ethnic group was estimated by different surveys, with different methodologies and years apart rather than on a single comprehensive racial census, some groups could overlap with others and be overestimated or underestimated.
Of all the ethnic groups that have been surveyed, Mestizos are notably absent, which is likely due the label's fluid and subjective definition, which complicates its precise quantification. However it can be safely assumed that Mestizos make up at least the remaining 30% unassessed percentage of Mexico's population with possibilities of increasing if the methodologies of the extant surveys are considered. As example the 2015 intercensal survey considered as Indigenous Mexicans and Afro-Mexicans altogether individuals who self-identified as "part Indigenous" or "part African" thus, said people technically would be Mestizos. Similarly, White Mexicans were quantified based on physical traits and appearance, thus technically a Mestizo with a percentage of Indigenous ancestry that was low enough to not affect his or her primarily European phenotype was considered to be white. Finally the remaining ethnicities, for being of a rather low number or being faiths have more permissive classification criteria, therefore a Mestizo could claim to belong to one of them by practicing the faith, or by having an ancestor who belonged to said ethnicities. Nonetheless, contemporary sociologists and historians agree that, given that the concept of "race" has a psychological foundation rather than a biological one and to society's eyes a Mestizo with a high percentage of European ancestry is considered "white" and a Mestizo with a high percentage of Indigenous ancestry is considered "Indian", a person that identifies with a given ethnic group should be allowed to, even if biologically it doesn't completely belong to that group.[133]
Languages
Languages in Mexico (by percentage):[134] Spanish (92.7%) Spanish and indigenous languages (5.7%) indigenous (0.8%) unspecified (0.8%)
Spanish is the de facto official language in Mexico being spoken by 98.3% of the population.[135] Mexican Spanish is spoken in a variety of dialects, accents and variations in different regions across the country.
Some indigenous languages are still being spoken by around 5% of Mexicans according to the latest census, in 2003 the General Law of Linguistic Rights of the Indigenous Peoples recognized 68 indigenous languages as "national languages", with the "same validity" in all territories and contexts where they are spoken. The indigenous language with the greatest number of speakers is Nahuatl (1,586,884 speakers in 2010 or 1.5% of the nation's population), followed by Yucatec Maya (796,405 speakers in 2010 0.8%) spoken Yucatán Peninsula, Mixtecas languages (494,454), Tzeltal (474,298), Zapotecas languages (460,683), Tzotzil (429,168), Otomí (288,052), Totonaca (250,252) Mazateco (230,124), Chol (222,051) and 1,462,857 speakers of other languages. After half a century of rural-to-urban migration, in Mexico City and other major cities large districts and sections use both written and spoken Amerindian languages.
During the first half of the 20th century the government promoted a policy of castellanización, that is, promoting the use of Spanish as a way to integrate indigenous peoples into Mexican society. Later, this policy changed, and since the 1980s the government has sponsored bilingual and intercultural education in all indigenous communities. This policy has mainly been successful in large communities with a significant number of speakers. While some languages, with less than 1,000 speakers, are still facing extinction.
The second most spoken language in Mexico, however, is English. It is used extensively at border areas, tourist centers and large metropolitan areas, a phenomenon arguably caused by the economic integration of North American under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the immigration phenomenon and the return of workers and their families from the United States.[citation needed] In border cities, American TV and radio waves in English (and Spanish) are received as much Spanish-speaking radio and TV stations from Mexico on the US side of the border, thus a bilingual cross-cultural exchange is at work.
Among the languages brought to the country by immigrants are the Venetian of Chipilo, and Mennonite Low German spoken in Durango and Chihuahua. Other languages spoken in Mexico include French, German, Russian, Arabic, Occitan, Catalan, Basque, Galician, Asturian, Chinese, Hebrew, Korean, Ladino, Plautdietsch, Armenian, Italian, etc. Although some of these may have a greater number of speakers than the national languages, they are not recognized by the government.
Mexican nationality and citizenship
The Constitution of Mexico grants Mexican nationality based on birth and naturalization. Mexican laws regarding nationality by birth are very open. Mexican nationality by birth is granted to:[136]
all those individuals born in Mexican territory,
all those individuals born outside Mexico, whose father or mother is Mexican by birth,
all those individuals born outside Mexico, whose father or mother is Mexican by naturalization,
all those individuals born aboard Mexican aircraft or sea vessels, whether warships or commercial vessels.
Mexican nationality by naturalization is granted to:[136]
foreign citizens granted Mexican nationality by the Secretariat of Government (Ministry of the Interior);
foreign citizens married to a Mexican national, whether by birth or naturalization.
Religion
The Mexican population is predominantly Catholic (83.9% of the population aged five and older, according to the 2010 census),[137] although the percentage representing those who attend church on a weekly basis is lower (46%).[138] About 7.6% of the population was classified as Protestant or Evangelical, 2.5% were classified as "Non-Evangelical Biblical" (a classification that groups Adventists, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses), 0.05% as practicing Jews, and 4.6% without a religion.[139] The largest group of Protestants are Pentecostals and Charismatics (classified as Neo-Pentecostals).
The states with the highest percentage of professing Catholics are central states, namely Guanajuato (96.4%), Aguascalientes (95.6%), and Jalisco (95.4%), whereas southeastern states have the lowest percentage of Catholics, namely Chiapas (63.8%), Tabasco (70.4%) and Campeche (71.3%).[139] The percentage of professing Catholics has been on the decrease over the last four decades, from over 98% in 1950 to 87.9% in 2000. The average annual growth of Catholic believers from 1990 to 2000 was 1.7% whereas that of non-Catholics was 3.7%.[140] Given that the average annual population increase over the same time period was 1.8%,[141] the percentage of Catholics in relation to the total population continues to be in overall decline.
Unlike some other countries in Latin America or Ibero-America, the 1857 Mexican Constitution drastically separates Church and State. The State does not support or provide any economic resource to the Church (as is the case in Spain and Argentina),[142] and the Church cannot participate in public education (no public school can be operated by a Catholic order, although they can participate in private education). Moreover, the government nationalized all the Church's properties (some of which were given back in the 1990s), and priests lost the right to vote or to be voted for (although in the 1990s they regained the right to vote).

Although there are several parser generators already available for Python, I had different goals, including learning about recursive descent parsers[1], and exploring new features, as my gut feeling back in the 1990s that parsing was not a solved problem, as widely believed[2]. Yapps is simple, is easy to use, and produces human-readable parsers. It is not the fastest, most powerful, or most flexible parser. Yapps is designed to be used when regular expressions are not enough and other parser systems are too much: situations where you may write your own recursive descent parser. On this page you can find both Yapps 1 and Yapps 2. Yapps 1 is more like a functional language (concise grammars of the form when you see this, return this), while Yapps 2 is more like an imperative language (more verbose grammars of the form if/while you see this, do this). Both are completely free (MIT license). For a quick demonstration of how easy it is to write a Yapps grammar, take a look at the 15 line expression evaluation example, which produces code to parse and evaluate expressions like 13-(1+5)*8/7 . You may also be interested in Michael Breen’s annotated calculator[3].
Features Some unusual features of Yapps that may be of interest are: Yapps produces human-readable recursive descent parsers. There are several heuristics used to keep the generated code simple. Yapps produces context-sensitive scanners that pick tokens based on the type of tokens accepted by the parser. In some situations, token matching is ambiguous unless the context is taken into account. Yapps rules can pass arguments down to subrules, so subrules can use information (such as declarations) that was parsed at higher levels in the parsing process. These are sometimes called attribute grammars. There are several disadvantages of using Yapps over another parser system: Yapps parsers are LL(1), which is less powerful in parsing power than LALR or SLR. There are some inconveniences having to do with LL(1) (such as the lack of operator precedence) that lead to more explicit grammars. The Yapps scanner can only read from strings, not from files, so it may not be useful if your input is large. However, it is possible to write a custom scanner for your application. (Note: the enhanced version of Yapps in Debian can read from files.) Yapps is not designed with efficiency in mind. It’s not the fastest parser available (nor is it the slowest). The Python.org site has a paper comparing Yapps to Spark and BisonGen[4]. The Python Wiki has a list of other Python parsers[5] you may want to try if Yapps isn’t right for your needs.
#Yapps 2 vs. Yapps 1 Yapps 2 is more flexible than Yapps 1 and is not backwards-compatible with Yapps 1. The main changes are: It allows statements and not only expressions to be embedded into the parser. This is wonderful for setting up loops. Here’s an example for parsing Lisp lists in Yapps 1: rule list: "(" seq ")" -> << seq >> rule seq: -> << [] >> | expr seq -> << [expr] + seq >> And here’s what is used in Yapps 2: rule list: r"\(" {{ e = [] }} # initialize the list ( # begin a loop expr {{ e.append(expr) }} # add each expr ) * # repeat as necessary r"\)" {{ return e }} # return the list Note that where Yapps 1 required you to set up a new recursive subrule, Yapps 2 allows you to express loops in a natural iterative style. In addition, the Yapps 2 style is more efficient (appending to an existing list). The Yapps 1 grammar is shorter, but harder to write, and less efficient.
It has convenience constructs like optional matching as well as the + and * operators from regular expressions. In the example above you can see that the ( expr ... ) * construct is used to repeat zero or more expressions. You can also mix choices and sequences together. For example, you can write A (B | C) D . These changes eliminate the need to use extra rules.
It uses Python 1.5-style (Perl-compatible) regular expressions. These regular expressions are now standard in the Python community, and are more powerful than the old-style regular expressions. In addition, you can use the Python r"string" syntax to avoid endless strings of backslashes.
You can choose to use the Yapps 2 run time library to make the generated parser smaller, or to make a standalone parser file.
#Yapps 1: How it started My desire for a parser generator began in late 1997 with a school project for which I used my own hand-written parser. At the same time, there was a thread on comp.lang.python about parsing e-mail addresses with nested <>’s. I was reading Stroustrup’s “The C++ Programming Language” and came across an expression parser. I was also reading Mark Lutz’s “Programming Python” and came across another expression parser. The combination of these four events inspired me to write a parser generator that could produce parsers similar to Lutz’s hand-written parser. Many of the features of Yapps are inspired by the ANTLR/PCCTS system written by Terrence Parr. ANTLR combines flexibility, speed, and parsing power into a system that produces readable recursive descent LL(k) parsers for C, C++, or Java. Download Yapps 1 is a single Python file, approximately 30k in length. It is likely that you will also want to see the documentation, available in these formats: HTML (browse online)

If there was one thing Scott Mathieson enjoyed about the offseason, it was the family time.
Forced to deal with the demands of being a professional athlete for the most of the year, Mathieson made sure to get the most out of his time at home over the winter with his family, especially 17-month-old son Lane.
“For me every morning started around five o’clock,” Mathieson said. “I’d have breakfast, head to the gym, and my goal was to get home around 8:30, because my son wakes up at 8:30. I tried to be able to make breakfast and be there when my son woke up every morning.”
He’s back in Japan with his baseball family, the Yomiuri Giants, now and looking forward to getting going this year.
“I feel really good,” Mathieson said. “My arm has felt great. Baseball-wise I’m kind of glad to be back in Tokyo, kind of get settled back into a routine and get ready for the season. And Tokyo kind of feels like home to me now. I’ve spent more time here in the last two years than anywhere else.”
Japan suits a player with a young family like Mathieson. He and his wife Jennifer enjoy life in Japan and because of the country’s size, travel is far less strenuous than in MLB.
“It’s the best part for me,” Mathieson said. “A big reason I like Japan is the travel is so easy here. I spend a lot more time with my family and I get to spend a lot more time with my son. I really enjoy getting to hang out with him and watching him grow and get bigger every day.”
Every day also brings Mathieson a little closer to being able to share his career with Lane.
“The goal has always been being able to play long enough to where he can remember watching me play,” Mathieson said.
“That’s probably still a couple of more years (away). When I was in the States, seeing guys bring their kids on the field, being able after games to play catch with them and stuff, I hope I can play long enough to be able to do that with my son.”
Mathieson could’ve been back playing in North America this season. The 30-year-old Canadian was in good form in 2012, his first in Japan, but took it to another level last season.
Mathieson, among the hardest throwers in Japan, was an integral part of an excellent Yomiuri bullpen, making 63 appearances and tying Orix Buffaloes reliever Tatsuya Sato for the most holds in Japan with 40. Mathieson also ended the season with 77 strikeouts and a 1.03 ERA in 61 innings.
The former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher had the attention of MLB scouts, but ultimately signed up for another year with Yomiuri.
“Coming back here was definitely what I wanted to do,” Mathieson said. “But when I had several major league teams making me major league offers . . . it’s always tough to turn that down. Because I grew up dreaming of playing in the Major Leagues.
“I love where I’m at now, but I never grew up dreaming about playing in Japan. So that’s tough, to essentially turn down what you grew up dreaming to do. But I feel comfortable being with the Giants. I really like the guys here, my wife loves it over here, so we’re quite happy. It was an easy decision with all that being said.”
He’ll return to what should again be a very good bullpen alongside closer Kentaro Nishimura, who saved 42 games in 2013, and Tetsuya Yamaguchi, whose 38 holds in 2013 were second most in NPB, among others.
“I think we have a very strong bullpen, plus (Yuya) Kubo is back now,” Mathieson said. “We have a lot of guys. Our bullpen, I think, is very strong. Our starters are also obviously strong. I don’t see other teams with us.”
On paper, the Giants might be the favorites to win a third straight CL title and maybe also advance to the Japan Series, where they lost to the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in Game 7 of last year.
“It was frustrating, definitely,” Mathieson said of the Japan Series defeat. “I don’t think they were a better team than us. They had a couple of players who were hot, and we weren’t. It was frustrating. In my mind, we were better than them. That was the frustrating thing to me.”
Mathieson is ready to right that wrong if the opportunity presents itself.
He’s felt good this spring, but the real test will be the results he gets as the season draws closer.
“The hitters will tell me where I’m at,” Mathieson said. “I feel good. Hopefully it translates to the mound.” | positive |

The French Jewish umbrella organization CRIF on Monday called on French mainstream political forces to unite against the far-right and xenophobic National Front (FN) party, which on Sunday became the largest party in nation-wide regional elections.
Ahead of next Sunday's run-off elections, which will determine the presidents of the regional councils in France, CRIF called on citizens to vote in order to block the Le Pen party.
“Do not let the Republic give way in the face of threats!” the organization said in a press release.
Sunday's first round of the regional elections was the first since last month's terror attacks in Paris, in which 130 people were killed, and the National Front, founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen 40 decades ago and now led by his daughter Marin, won 28 percent of the vote, ahead of former President Nicolas Sarkozy's Republican Party on 27 percent and President François Hollande's Socialist Party with 23 percent.
'Dangerous environment'
CRIF President Roger Cukierman said in a statement: "These results are very disappointing. The increase of the FN now makes it the strongest party in France, which is a very worrying thing for the future.
"We have already had a lot to worry about ISIS, about the growing anti-Semitism in our cities, and about the far-left's support for the anti-Zionist BDS movement. And now, we're confronted with the resurgence of the extreme-right.
"For us Jews, this is a dangerous political environment, even though we can count on the support of the governing parties and the opposition Republicans," declared Cukierman.
France's chief rabbi, Haim Korsia, called for a "civic uprising" of voters in the second round "to breathe life into democracy... in these particularly troubled times for the nation".
The FN result was the strongest electoral showing for any far-right party since World War II. Le Pen’s father, National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, had a history of anti-Semitism, though his daughter has distanced herself and the party from him and his record.
he National Front was ahead in six of the 13 regions in mainland France, including in the northern Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie region where Marine Le Pen stood for president, and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in the south where her niece Marion Maréchal-Le Pen headed the FN list
In a press release, the CRIF pointed out the presence of important Jewish communities in cities such as Marseille, Cannes, Nice and Strasbourg, which could soon fall within FN-run regional administrations.
The second round of the regional elections will be held next Sunday. According to the electoral system, the winning list will automatically be given a 'premium' to give it an overall majority.
The Socialist Party on Monday announced that it would withdraw some candidates from the race in order to consolidate the opposition to the National Front. | positive |

Does AdBlock block ads on Twitch.tv? : AdBlock Help AdBlock Help Back to website Submit a ticket My Tickets Welcome Login Sign up AdBlock Help Solution home Having Trouble? Look Here First! Common and Recently Reported Issues Enter your search term here... Search Does AdBlock block ads on Twitch? AdBlock Support Modified on: Thu, Jun 3, 2021 at 2:42 PM Update June 2021: We are just as frustrated by Twitch's ability to circumvent our blocks as you are. We are looking for solutions, but with our last attempt, they immediately detected our blocks and placed a purple notification screen which generated a large number of complaints from our users. We are working to try and find a way around this issue but we are a very small team. Twitch has a large, well-funded team entirely focused on finding ways around our blocks. At the same time, we are working against similar teams at YouTube and Facebook, not to mention the many other sites where we are successfully blocking ads. We hope to have these blocked again but it may take some time to block them all fully. We sincerely appreciate your patience while we work on this! --- Yes! You can use AdBlock to block ads on Twitch and similar video streaming sites. If you’re new to AdBlock and would like to install it to block Twitch ads, visit our website to add it to your browser. There are some things to keep in mind as you use AdBlock on Twitch: You can allow ads on your favorite channels. Want to block ads everywhere else while still supporting your favorite Twitch streamers? AdBlock lets you do that. Open your AdBlock options page by clicking the AdBlock icon in the toolbar of your browser, then click the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the AdBlock menu. From the General tab, make sure "Allow ads on specific Twitch channels" is enabled. Once this setting is enabled (and you've restarted your browser), visit any Twitch stream and select "Allow ads on this channel" to add that channel to your "Allowlist." This will disable ad blocking on that specific channel only, while continuing to block ads everywhere else. Blocking the Twitch ad means hiding it. Because of the way Twitch ads are inserted into the video stream, we can't use our typical methods for blocking them. Instead, we must hide and mute ads on Twitch. This means that during the course of an ad, the video player will show a blank and muted screen (see screenshot below). When the ad is over, the video player will return to normal. You may still see an occasional ad. It is extremely difficult for any ad blocker to block ads on Twitch. Since Twitch ads are inserted directly into the video stream, ad blockers must “race” to block ads on Twitch streams before the site can download them. This means that while AdBlock does block Twitch ads, we may not be able to catch every single ad before you see it. If you see occasional unblocked ads on Twitch while using AdBlock, a simple page refresh should eliminate them. Experiencing other issues on Twitch? Although we have tested the code we use to block ads on Twitch as thoroughly as possible, you may encounter an edge case that we couldn't anticipate. While we do expect the occasional Twitch ad to get through, you shouldn’t be bombarded with Twitch ads, and your Twitch player should work without any major issues. If you do experience issues with Twitch beyond simply seeing the occasional ad, please let us know by opening a ticket. Please include AdBlock's debugging information to help us troubleshoot. Alternative Option: Use the Twitch 5 player The extension previously known as Twitch 5 (which has been renamed to Alternate Player for Twitch.tv) reportedly strips most ads from live streams. You may want to try using this Twitch player to block ads on Twitch. Get it for Chrome: Alternate Player for Twitch.tv Get it for Firefox and browsers derived from Firefox: Alternate Player for Twitch.tv Get it for Microsoft Edge: Alternate Player for Twitch.tv Alternative Option: Twitch Turbo Twitch offers a subscription service called Twitch Turbo, which comes with ad-free Twitch viewing as well as a few other perks. The folks here at AdBlock can’t speak to whether or not the perks justify the monthly cost of Twitch Turbo, but it may be worth checking out. Additional Information and Background In late 2016, Twitch.tv began circumventing ad blocking by inserting ads directly into the video stream. Blocking the ads was then impossible without also blocking the video. For a while it was possible to watch Twitch video ad-free by connecting your Twitch account to an Amazon Prime account, creating a "Twitch Prime" account. However, in late August 2018, Twitch Prime users learned they will no longer be exempt from ads after their current subscription ends, according to this article in TechCrunch. In its blog post explaining the change, Twitch said: "Twitch Prime members with monthly subscriptions will continue to get ad-free viewing until October 15. If you already have an annual subscription, or if you upgrade to an annual subscription before September 14, you will continue with ad-free viewing until your next renewal date." So are there any options left to watch Twitch without ads? Again from the Twitch blog: "An ad-free viewing experience is still possible! All Twitch viewers can get ad-free viewing across all channels by subscribing to Twitch Turbo (read about Turbo right here). Additionally, Twitch Prime subscribers can still get channel-specific ad-free viewing as part of Prime by using your monthly subscription token on a channel that has ad-free viewing for subscribers turned on." Ultimately, the dedicated folks in the open-source ad-blocking community must continuously fight to stay ahead of Twitch and their video ads. It's not an easy task, but one we remain focused on!

Tips & Tricks for enjoying ST:Timelines as a Free-to-Play or nearly FTP player
Posted: 26 January 2016 11:15 PM Hi everyone, I’m enjoying STT immensely, but the game comes with quite a number of hard-to-follow mechanics and gameplay options, and I thought it might be useful to compile the results of a few days scouring Reddit, these forums, and my own experiences, to reduce the learning curve for future players, and give some useful ideas for current players. I’ve organized this post roughly by topic, and welcome any feedback on my advice or additional tips for fellow players.
About me: I’m playing STT with the $4 monthly card but otherwise FTP. Based on my work schedule, I’ve been logging in during the morning, lunch break, and once in the evening, which is enough to complete all the dailies except for buying 3 items. I’m assuming for this guide a roughly similar play-style. Part 0: Additional resources (links)
* Official gameplay guide (for the very new): https://www.disruptorbeam.com/games/star-trek-timelines-game-guide
* Helpful FAQ thread (highly recommended): https://www.disruptorbeam.com/forums/stt/viewthread/47976/
* List of many of the possible character cards in-game: https://www.disruptorbeam.com/forums/stt/viewthread/47341/
* The official forums: https://www.disruptorbeam.com/forums/stt
* The Wiki: http://startrektimelineswiki.com/wiki/Main_Page
* Sub-reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarTrekTimelines/
* Mini-guide to farmable item locations: https://www.disruptorbeam.com/forums/stt/viewthread/48489/ (Thanks Axer!) Common Terms:
F2P/FTP: Free To Play
P2W/PTW, Whale: ‘Pay to Win’, large spending customers
Dev: Designer
UChat: Universal chat Part 1: Mindset and Currencies Mind-set: “All things that are difficult become easy with patience”
*For a FTP player, STT is very much a game where results happen more as the result of a slow accumulation of multiple sources of benefits than from a rapid race to the end. The chronitron mechanic encourages short bursts of 15-30 minute games and then 2-4 hours of doing something else.
* STT is very much a game of strategic resource management and number-fiddling. Finding and upgrading character equipment is the main activity of the game, and the missions scale in difficulty in ways that ensure that all players will eventually hit ceilings until they grind up character equipment and levels. It’s much closer to an older RPG model (Pokemon or FF7 for example) than most newer games.
* Somebody spending significant real money for dilithium (a ‘whale’) will have characters with better stats out-of-the-gate than a FTP player, but will run into their own roadblocks soon enough through the shuttle equipment system, which serves as an equalizer between having very strong-potential crew that are hard to advance (dilithium 4-5 star crew), and low end-potential crew that are easier to advance (1-3 star crew). Dilithium
* Dilithium is only available by purchase; there is no in-game way to acquire it
* Dilithium-quality items and characters can also be gotten in game through playing Dabo on free spins, or from some of the daily login bonuses, which can award blue/purple characters and items as well as dilithium time portal uses
* The “monthly card” awards 100 dilithium per day, resetting at midnight EST. It’s equivalent to $40 in buying dilithium directly.
* For a monthly card user, I suggest saving up for the 650 Dilithium time portal packs. You might also consider saving up to purchase a 3rd shuttle once you have a sizeable crew (perhaps after 3-4 pack purchases). Your first credit purchase each day is only 10 dilithium; useful if you need to reach a specific level for a faction item purchase. Credits
* Credits are useful to (1) upgrade gear; (2) buy time portal packs; and (3) buy individual items from faction stores.
* You can get credits from scanning, completing away missions, shuttle missions, or space battles, as level up awards (50K each time), and from completing daily quests Chronitrons – “Time is money, friend”
* This barely counts as a tip, but the “chronitron boosts” during the day can help extend gameplay by another 20 chronitrons. Do at least 20 chronitrons worth of missions before claiming the boost if possible so that they will continue to accrue as you do missions
* The VIP levels describe “up to 3 chronitron recharges” per day. Basically, VIPs can pay 150 dil for 40 chronitrons up to 3 times per day. The wording is pretty poor on the ability
* Captain levels contribute to max chronitrons. Level 28, for example, has around 80 chronitrons max, allowing captains of this level to do Warp 10 with 8-chronitron missions. Captains get a BIG experience boost when completing a mission for the very first time on each difficulty Merit:
* These accrue from gameplay and reset each day at midnight EST. Merits are spent at faction centers to purchase shuttle missions (faction missions) and to purchase items from factions.
* I find it worthwhile to check each faction center that might have an item your character needs, once per day, to see if they are offering it directly for merits, credits, or dilithium. The faction center list can be opened from the center of your main screen from the right-most button under your current planet. Faction stores reset at noon EST, and sometimes have a soft reset at midnight EST
* If you’re online near the daily reset and have already completed your daily goals, hold off on doing actions that might reward merit soon so you can do them and then claim the next day’s rewards right at the reset
* Wait to purchase credit/dilithium packs on a day when the daily reward gives a time portal use or when you have 180,000 Credits, so you can get the 3/3 Purchases daily reward (25 merit) (Next page to continue) Signature Aren’t you glad you brought me along?

Posted: 26 January 2016 11:17 PM VIP Levels (quick notes for monthly card users)
* If you’re a brand new player and decide to spend $4 on a monthly card, do so before claiming your first 2 daily bonuses and you’ll get 2 of each of those rewards for a nice mini-boost at the start.
* A single monthly card gets VIP level 1. You get minor boosts to buying credits with Dilithium, and “Warp 4,” which allows you to pay 4 chronitrons to skip re-playing missions where you have already gotten 3 stars to get the same item rewards, though you don’t get experience for characters. Warp is good if you only have, say, 5 minutes to play and want to quickly burn up your chronitrons for items, or if you need several rewards from a mission that would be monotonous to grind for low exp. Warp 10 (at VIP level 3) does the same but for 10 missions in a row - very convenient!
* VIP level 2 (250 VIP, or 2 months of dilithium cards, or a monthly card and a $5 purchase) grants +10 crew members bringing the total to 35. The crew number increase at 4, 6, 8, etc. is the most useful part of VIP levels that I can see for frugal players. Part 2: Characters: Equipment, levels, training, advancing, and fusing Equipment
* It’s not obvious from looking at the game at first, but upgrading character equipment is the most important part of the game for continuing to advance the storyline. Upgrading all the items on a character lets you boost the character’s max level from 10 > 20 > 30 > onwards, and the items give boosts to skills as well.
* If an item shines yellow in the character’s inventory, then you own the item already. If the item shines green, then you have the components for that item and can build it for the character when they reach the necessary level.
* Faction stores will display a yellow or green icon on an item if the item is usable by a character
* If a character needs an item (blue color behind it), you can click the item to see where you get the components. I always try to get items from away team missions or space battles rather than faction missions wherever possible
* NOTE: Sometimes the game has bugs with guiding players on item rarity and missions. Items also come in levels of 1 star, 2 star, etc., and sometimes the item logo doesn’t display the correct rarity. Clicking directly on the item can show the actual rarity. See this thread for details: https://www.disruptorbeam.com/forums/stt/viewthread/47737
* For players with Promoted Sisko, an Uncommon Raktajino is awarded as a Rare Reward from “Behind Closed Doors” on Elite difficulty. You will also get an Astrometric Chart that you can use for Captain Janeway (a daily reward). (hat-tip: Centurion Matt on the forums) Characters:
* Compatible traits can often give 7-15 or more points, so a so-so crew who matches 2 or 3 traits can sometimes outperform someone with higher skill levels.
* In general, it’s safe to delete 1-star (white) characters as your crew fills up. HOWEVER, check the character traits first. Some 1-star characters have rare traits that unlock special mission paths and are hard to find except on that character. Some examples of characters to consider keeping include: Deanna Troi (empath), Sulu (Tactician), Chief Engineer Torres (a laundry list of traits), Commander Spock (Exobiology and Astrophysicist).
* 2-star (green) and 3-star (blue) characters offer a great mix of stats and usually only require 0-1 faction items per 10 levels. I suggest keeping green characters with only a single stat (such as Yar for Security), since the sole focus will keep them fairly competitive with blue-quality characters through episode 4.
* 4-star (purple) and 5-star (yellow) characters require a high number of faction items, which often limits them to level 10 or 20 for much longer. It’s also much less likely that you’ll find more copies to fuse, unlike green/blue characters. However, their raw stats are very high, and they have the highest potential in the end game.
* FTP players can gain blue-quality characters from: (1) daily rewards (like Tuvok or Wesley, or dilithium portal pack daily rewards); (2) episode rewards for episodes 2 onwards; (3) very rare drops from the credit packages. A purple Janeway is also a daily reward.
* Wesley has good science & decent engineering skills. Captain Janeway has good Command and moderate diplomacy & science skills. So if you keep this in mind, the priority areas for getting other crew members are security, medicine, diplomacy, and engineering.
* If you go over the crew cap, you won’t be able to use the new crew members, and you have 7 days to expand your crew cap (VIP level 4 or higher) or delete existing crew to make room for the new members. The timer will count down for you. Levels:
* Levels give stat boosts like items. Level advancement slows drastically at levels 24+. The max level is 99. Advancing
* You can advance a character when they have all of their item slots filled. This expands their max level by 10 and grants stats increases, and a new list of items to acquire. Training:
* Training grants a character some minor experience so you don’t have to drag that character through missions
* Try to Train a character at least 10 times each day for a daily merit reward Fusing:
* Fusing lets you combine 2 characters of equal stars to raise that character’s star level by 1, up to its max. This gives a big boost to stats.
* White/gray (1 star) characters cannot be fused
* Fusing only checks the highest level character fused. So you can fuse a 10 and a 4 or a 10 and a 1, and the result is the same Signature Aren’t you glad you brought me along?

Posted: 26 January 2016 11:19 PM Part 3: Away team missions and shuttle missions Away team missions:
* Locked missions will become yellow if you select a character for the mission who can complete them. You can also see what that mission requirement is when you re-play a completed mission. Some common requirements are racial (Klingon, etc.) or skills (exobiologist). In my experience, Lt. Torres is very good at Season 1 and 2 requirements (as a Maquis and a Klingon), while Sisko is very good at Season 2 requirements (as a ‘Bajoran’, a Cultural Figure, and a Federation).
* More advanced mission difficulties become available once all the stars for a mission are completed (this is done by getting a critical on the mission objectives with stars)
* Sometimes the items you need might be on the more advanced settings for a mission – it’s useful to check before starting Shuttle missions:
* These start with 30 second missions before growing to 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, and finally 3 hours (you have 12 hours to respond to the 3-hour missions)
* Since these lock crew away from away missions, it’s best to do these last in a play session. However, they don’t lock crew from space combat
* New missions can be bought from faction centers for 75 merits
* These scale upwards in difficulty per faction as you do more missions for that faction. If you do too many for a single faction before your crew has leveled sufficiently, you will see your success rate chance drop significantly Part 4: Space combat, building new ships Space combat:
* In the current version, there are 3 types of boosts: evasion (the Constellation ship comes with an innate brief boost to this), attack, and accuracy. Since you get 3 stars on a mission from finishing within 20 seconds (typically 160 seconds on timer), it’s best to use attack+ and accuracy+ crew, or to chain +attack characters after each other.
* Boosts of the same type overlap, they don’t stack additively. So if you have a +2 attack and a +3 attack, it’s best to wait for one to finish (goes from gold to blue building up again) before starting the next.
* Each ship crew slot has a best-crew-type option, like Command or Diplomacy. Equipping the right crew will enable stronger boosts. If you unequip your crew from the ship you can see what each slot needs.
* Crew also have passive bonuses to stats based on their level, items, and personal characteristics. You can see these in the Manage Crew area when you click on ‘Information’
* As soon as you manage to get enough schematics for a better ship, start grinding the ship battles for stars. With decent crew you shouldn’t have any problem getting 3-star on Elite and Epic for at least the first couple of episodes, and the experience from those will allow you to level exceptionally fast. Additionally, when doing this, you should only need one or two “optimal” crew who may be max-leveled (usually one for attack, one for accuracy). Be sure to fill any additional spots with crew who just need free Elite/Epic experience. (hat-tip to onlysane1 on reddit for this one) Building new ships:
* This will be a long, long process for FTP, and slightly less painful for monthly card users. You need ~600 schematics to build most ships. Huge amounts drop in the dilithium time portal (150 schematics at a time), but otherwise they only drop 1-15 from missions, scanning, the credits portal, or shuttle missions. So FTP players will only upgrade when lucky from daily rewards, while Monthly players and whales will have more opportunities to upgrade ships
* Do NOT buy schematics from faction stores. They are very over-priced at this time
* Episode 5 gives a reward at the end of 50 schematics for either the defiant or nova-class ships. However, it may take FTP players 3-4 months to complete EP5. Well, that’s everything for now. I apologize if I got anything wrong, and please feel free to give suggestions for additional info or to improve the information above. I hope everything I’ve collected is helpful for some people, and thank you to DB for a fun game! Changelog:

Posted: 27 January 2016 02:27 AM Now this is actually useful collection of information. I do question the part about Warp however. From what I understood you get warp 1 from VIP 1 and then later get Warp 10 from VIP 3 I think it was? Anyways, those open two options for you: Warp 1 means you can run once per button press 3 starred mission quickly (your crew gets no experience, but captain still does) or in case of Warp 10 it acts as if you did it 10 times. Chroniton cost for that is based on mission used. Profile

Posted: 27 January 2016 09:18 AM I am doing FTP - I’ve found that the most frustrating part is needing an item to equip and spending all of your chronitons on trying to get it when it’s really random. Question: What is the best way to get free shuttle missions? And another - for example, I have the opportunity to do a shuttle mission for the Augments, but I was doing my best to NOT work for them. Is this the sort of thing where you should just do it anyway to get the rewards? I guess faction doesn’t mean too much in this game? And Merits - you said they reset each day? Does that mean you lose your merits each day and should try to spend them every day? Signature http://www.divinemercy.com/ Profile

Posted: 27 January 2016 10:47 AM cardassianninja - 27 January 2016 09:18 AM I am doing FTP - I’ve found that the most frustrating part is needing an item to equip and spending all of your chronitons on trying to get it when it’s really random. Well people who pay have the same problem. Actually slightly worse, as they often have ultra-rare aliens who require ultra-rare alien stuff. cardassianninja - 27 January 2016 09:18 AM What is the best way to get free shuttle missions? Two only ways: starting a new episode (they give you some transmission for each of the disputed factions) or scans. One is very limited, the other unreliable. cardassianninja - 27 January 2016 09:18 AM I have the opportunity to do a shuttle mission for the Augments, but I was doing my best to NOT work for them. Is this the sort of thing where you should just do it anyway to get the rewards? I guess faction doesn’t mean too much in this game? Factions, as implemented at the moment, are not very coherent in the story. But getting Science Experiments (required for a bunch of characters, including Coffee Janeway and Ensign Crusher) is done the best via Augment missions. So… if you don’t do Augment missions, you have to buy their specific equipment from their store. cardassianninja - 27 January 2016 09:18 AM And Merits - you said they reset each day? Does that mean you lose your merits each day and should try to spend them every day? You don’t lose them. It just means you can farm the same goal for merits every day. Doing 5 missions per day will always give you 10 merits. Signature Minor contributor to the STT Wiki Profile
Posted: 27 January 2016 11:18 AM Thanks for the guide. Question on merits and shuttle missions: I was also wondering about buying that third shuttle bay. I seem to use most all of my merits daily so would I have enough missions to make use of a third shuttle?

Have you ever felt unloved by your partner, because they’re not showing you they love you in the way that is most meaningful for you?
If you’re like many people, often you may not realise that the way you most prefer to be ‘shown’ you’re loved, can be quite different to how your partner shows their love. It all comes down to your ‘love language’.
If you have ever felt your partner doesn’t love you, then it may be because he or she doesn’t have the same love languages as you do.
According to Gary Chapman, there are basically 5 love languages or ways that people express their love.
For most couples, these are different from each other.
When we are in a love relationship, we tend to speak our own primary love language, and we become confused when our spouse does not understand what we are communicating, or doesn’t feel our love.
When we can identify and also learn to speak our partners love language, we have the key to a truly loving relationship.
Often people can determine their own unique love language by reviewing the 5 below and recognising the one or two that are usually most important or meaningful for them. Have a look below and see what stands out for you, and have your partner do the same.
Here are the 5 Love Languages:
1. Words of affirmation
Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. According to Dr. Chapman, this language uses words to affirm other people (how meaningful they are to us, how much we love them, how much we appreciate them, etc). For those who prefer the words of affirmation language, hearing “I love you” and other compliments are what they value the most. Words hold real value within this language. Furthermore, negative or insulting comments cut deep — and won’t be easily forgiven.
2. Quality time
This language is all about giving the other person your undivided attention. It also includes empathic conversations, sharing thoughts, feelings and desires in an open uninterrupted environment. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful to these individuals. Being there for them is crucial. Quality Time also means sharing quality conversation and quality activities.
3. Receiving gifts
Giving gifts are a symbol of thinking about your partner, and often are visual gifts of love. Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous – so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly.
4. Acts of service
Can cleaning up the kitchen really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. These could include cooking a meal, washing dishes, changing the babies nappies, vacuuming the floor, cleaning the car. People who thrive on this language do not deal well with broken promises — or perceived laziness — and have very little tolerance for people who make more work for them.
5. Physical Touch
This language isn’t all about the bedroom. Physical touch is a powerful vehicle to expressing your love. These include, holding hands, kissing, hugging, cuddling, touching and making love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive.
How to determine your primary love language.
There are 3 methods of discovering what your primary Love Language is.
Ask yourself the following questions:
What does my partner do or fail to do that hurts me deeply? If your primary love language is used negatively by your spouse, it will hurt you more deeply than it will someone else, because not only is he neglecting to speak your primary love language, but he is actually using that language as a knife to your heart. In what way do you regularly express your love for your partner? This is usually what you are wishing your partner would do for you. What have you most often asked for from your partner? The thing you have most often asked for is likely to be the one that will make you feel most loved.
Once you know your partner’s love languages
Once you have identified the primary love language for each of you, it is important to give to your partner using their primary love language first and foremost.
Then both of you will feel whole-heartedly loved.

Ticket to event, which includes concert admission, costs $420

Former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will take part in a Boulder panel discussion in the South Stadium Club at the University of Colorado's Folsom Field next month.
The event, planned for 4-6 p.m. Saturday, June 10, is part of a Colorado Music Hall of Fame VIP reception. Deadheads and members of the public may attend for a ticket price of $420, which includes a ticket to a Dead & Company show that evening. A portion of the proceeds directly benefit the Hall of Fame, according to organization spokesman Phil Lobel.
"Colorado Getaway: The History of the Grateful Dead in the High Country" will feature the musicians discussing the Dead's history in Boulder and Colorado — including a Human Be-In at Denver's City Park in 1967, a rumored Reed Ranch barn gig near Colorado Springs, storied shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a famous 1987 Telluride show and the band's appearances in Boulder, which has traditionally held a hotbed of Deadhead activity, according to a press release.
The musicians will be in Boulder to perform with offshoot band Dead & Company Friday, June 9, and Saturday, June 10. The pair of shows on Fourth of July weekend last year in Boulder marked the return of live music to Folsom Field for the first time since 2001.
The Colorado Music Hall of Fame's "Colorado Getaway" will feature a musical performance and commentary by David Gans (of SiriusXM's "The Grateful Dead Hour") and interviews with Colorado promoter Don Strasburg, archivist Paul Epstein (of Twist and Shout) and David Glasser, who is re-mastering the Dead's entire catalog, according to the release.
There will be a silent auction with historic artifacts and photographs, along with items like "The Guys," a limited-edition etching of the Grateful Dead by Jerry Garcia.
The Hall of Fame will also unveil a timeline exhibit that will be housed at Red Rocks' Trading Post, the Colorado Music Hall of Fame's home. Boulder's Pasta Jay's will create a custom "Dead-inspired" menu, according to the release.
Besides the former Grateful Dead members, Dead & Company features John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti. Phil Lesh, the Dead's fourth surviving member, has his own offshoot band, Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band, which will be playing three sold-out Fox Theatre shows later in June.

HOMETOWN U.S.A..: Baltimore You can lead a penguin to water, but can you make him swim?
Maryland Zoo keepers act as coaches for newborns in their efforts to help save an endangered African species.
Back and belly, tail feathers and webbed feet, nothing escapes the faucet. Five minutes later, the penguin's first bath is in the can.
Soft as a cotton ball and about the size of a roasted chicken, Male One — hatched on Oct. 12 — is lowered into a stainless steel sink by Wlaz and Betty Dipple, another animal keeper.
So each time African penguins are born into the zoo's breeding program for the endangered birds, someone like Wlaz becomes their swimming coach. But first comes the introduction to being wet.
"Some of them are terrified," says Bethany Wlaz , a keeper at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
While Male One is being dried and wrapped in a fluffy towel, Male Two — four days younger — gets the same treatment and emits a similar donkey-like bray. Puffs of gray down float in the air.
"They're getting the full salon service," Wlaz says.
Doting on African penguins has been a Maryland Zoo specialty for more than three decades. With 55 to 65 birds living at the moat-enclosed area known as Rock Island, the zoo has one of the largest breeding colonies in the country. Another major colony is at the New England Aquarium in Boston.
The work is of global importance because African penguins, found only along the southern shore and islands of Africa, are teetering on the edge of extinction. Their numbers have declined from as many as 4 million in the early 1900s to 60,000 in 2010, according to the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds. Fewer than half of them are estimated to be breeding pairs.
African penguin eggs were targeted up until the 1960s by people who considered them a delicacy and scooped them up by the millions. The penguins' habitat has been destroyed by commerce and oil spills, and overfishing and climate change have depleted their food, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
The Assn. of Zoos and Aquariums has developed a species survival plan to map out breeding to ensure a strong genetic pool while scientists and conservation groups try to stabilize the population. The Maryland Zoo keeps breeding pairs on hand and distributes other penguins to zoos for display or breeding.
The parents of Male One and Male Two — proper names are coming, zoo officials promise — came to Baltimore a year ago. The father hailed from Tampa and the mother from Memphis. They quickly became a family of four, with the newborns spending three weeks with their parents before keepers took over the domestic duties.
"It's hard to have an entirely bad day when you're around penguins," Dipple says as she slides a chunk of squid into the gaping black beak of Male One.
The chicks weigh 4.9 pounds and 3.8 pounds. When fully grown right around Christmas, they'll be 23 to 25 inches tall, will weigh about 8 pounds and will be fully decked out in black-and-white plumage.
Once Male One and Male Two get the hang of being wet, the keepers will fill a small pool halfway with water and shoo the birds in. This march of the penguins will happen three times a day, every day, until the lessons take.
"For each bird, it will click at a different point," Wlaz said. "Some we'll put in and they'll take to it. Some will run and jump out like it's molten lava. One day they realize that it's the coolest thing in the world and they start diving and swimming, and then it's pretty much impossible to get them out."
Soon, they may have siblings. The parents have produced another clutch, and four other penguin pairs are expected to breed this season.
That's a lot of swimming lessons.

“This ruling doesn’t change anything,” said Mr. Perry’s spokeswoman, Allison Castle. “This is an individual who brutally gang-raped and murdered two teenage women. We don’t really care where you are from; you can’t do that to our citizens.”
The ruling went further than a 2004 decision by the international court, which again sided with Mexico, ordering a review of all 51 cases to determine if a consul’s intervention might have changed the outcome.
President Bush, who as Texas’ governor oversaw 152 executions, ordered his home state to comply with the international court. But Texas refused and fought Mr. Bush’s order in court. In March, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the president had overstepped his powers and that only Congress could require the state to change its judicial procedures to comply with the 1963 treaty.
On Monday, Representative Howard L. Berman, Democrat of California, submitted legislation to deal with the Supreme Court’s ruling. The bill, though, is not expected to come up for a vote anytime soon, especially in the charged atmosphere of an election year, aides to Mr. Berman said.

State Department officials said the execution of Mr. Medellín and the other four convicted killers might erode the ability of the United States to help people accused of crimes abroad.
Mr. Perry, a Republican, stood firm, saying the Supreme Court ruling in March had freed Texas to go ahead with the executions, starting with that of Mr. Medellín, one of six young men that a jury found had raped and strangled Elizabeth Peña, 16, and Jennifer Ertman, 15, in a park one night.
Mr. Medellín was 18 at the time and had lived most of his life in Texas; he signed a confession in English.
A spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, Ricardo Alday, accused Texas of “an irreparable breach of international obligation” if it did not delay the executions until Congress could act on Mr. Berman’s bill.

A lawyer representing Mr. Medellín, Donald Francis Donovan of New York, said he would seek such a delay in Texas state court.
“Everyone agrees that the U.S. made a deal here,” Mr. Donovan said, “and for Texas to breach that deal when it was made by the people of the United States as a whole would not be right.”
For relatives of the murdered girls, questions about international relations seem irrelevant.
“This has nothing to do with the World Court; it has nothing to do with the U.N.,” said Jennifer’s father, Randy Ertman. “This has everything to do with what Mexico wants, not what Texas wants. The people of Texas want the death penalty.” | positive |

By Morgan Simmons of the Knoxville News Sentinel
TOWNSEND — On a recent summer afternoon, the Anthony Creek Trail at the west end of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park presented stark contrasts between sunlight and shadow.
Much of the trail was shaded beneath the branches, but in patches of forest where the hemlocks had died, the ground was bathed in bright light. Beneath these gaps in the canopy grew various sun-loving species like blackberry and wild grape. High winds had pruned the dead hemlocks of their limbs and their tops, and the trees still standing looked ready to fall, too.
Forests throughout the Smokies are undergoing a major ecological shift due to the hemlock die-off caused by the hemlock woolly adelgid, a nonnative forest insect pest that was discovered in the park in 2002. Trees that for years have suffered in a state of decline are now dead and toppling to the ground, creating a void that forestry experts say will affect everything from stream temperatures to forest composition.
"We saw dramatic disturbance with the chestnut blight, but at least chestnuts could be replaced by oaks and other deciduous trees," said Jesse Webster, forester for the park. "There is no shade-tolerant species to replace hemlocks. They moderate stream temperatures and stream flows. When the hemlocks are gone, that lets in a dramatic amount of light the forest floor hasn't received in hundreds of years."
The infestation
The park contains more than 87,000 acres of hemlock forests. By focusing on high-priority areas like campgrounds, busy roadsides and select backcountry sites, park biologists have treated some 15,000 acres of hemlocks using a combination of chemical and biological agents. To date, those efforts have protected approximately 15 percent of the park's hemlock forests, leaving 85 percent in a state of chronic decline because of the sap-feeding insect.
Because hemlocks were not commercially valued, the trees generally were overlooked by logging companies before the park's creation in 1934. As a result, some of the park's oldest and largest trees are eastern hemlocks that escaped the loggers' ax. Their evergreen canopies attract Neotropical warblers and other songbirds, and the shade they provide along stream corridors helps cool water temperatures in the summer for trout and other sensitive species.
The widespread hemlock decline has increased the threat of hazard trees throughout the park. Last spring, park officials announced the temporary closure of Parson Branch Road near Cades Cove because of the concentration of hazard trees. Crews identified 1,700 such trees within falling distance of the gravel road that stretches 8 miles through a forest of dying hemlocks.
Unlike high priority areas such as the Elkmont entrance road and Cosby Campground, the Parson Branch Road was low on this list for treatment because of its low traffic volume and lack of old-growth hemlock stands.
The park's hemlocks were hit hardest in 2007 and 2008 when the adelgid infestation coincided with severe drought. Bitter cold winters in 2013 and 2014 reduced the adelgid population, but only temporarily — biologists say the population is likely to rebound this year because of mild temperatures last winter.
"We'll never see the complete eradication of the hemlock woolly adelgids in the park," Webster said. "Our goal is to reduce the population to a tolerable level where there is a natural balance between the adelgids and the predator beetles we're releasing as biological controls."
Dramatic changes
About a mile from Cades Cove along the Andrews Ridge Trail, Webster stopped at a "light gap" next to the trail where hemlock branches littered the ground. The tops of two large hemlocks had broken off, and that's all it took to trigger changes in the forest understory. Blackberries were starting to grow, and rhododendron already was beginning to crowd out the native ferns that thrive in the cool, moist shade of the hemlock forests.
Webster said one of the park's major concerns is that these new canopy openings will promote the spread of invasive plant species such as princess trees and oriental bittersweet.
"Forests are about constant change, but that's not what is happening here," Webster said. "These changes are too dramatic, too large-scale. Normal change would be lightning strikes and wind. What we're seeing with the disappearance of the hemlocks is more like a canopy fire." | positive |

Washington Post
"You know, this guy has been in so much trouble," he blabbered on his April 25 show. "He's got sagging poll numbers. He's got political groups criticizing his every move. And now the governator is making all his enemies' job easier.
According to the London Evening Standard , Arnold recently went on Howard Stern's radio show and offered his theory on how to end premenstrual syndrome, saying -- quote -- 'If we get rid of the moon, womens, whose menstrual cycles are governed by the moon, will not get PMS. They will stop bitching and whining.'
"Hey, Governor," Scarborough continued, "way to make 50 percent of California's voting population turn frigid towards you.I don't know how it works in Austria, but let me tell you something, friend,jokes about such matters -- not laughing subjects to women in America."
Great point, Joe! Except -- not to throw stones here -- Schwarzenegger never said those things. Scarborough (and apparently the London Daily Mail, not the Evening Standard) got duped. Howard Stern apparently has a Schwarzenegger impersonator on his show regularly, and he was the one rat-a-tat-tatting on about the dreaded PMS.
As a result, MSNBC tells us that Scarborough planned to right his wrong on last night's show and that it had taken 10 days to address it because, well, they were unaware of the mistake until we called. However, the Guv's office tells us that they called the show the day after it aired and pointed out the error. Hmm.
It took a little longer than CALIFORNIA Gov. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER's staff wanted, but WESTWOOD ONE and MSNBC host JOE SCARBOROUGH was scheduled to apologize THURSDAY for an APRIL 25 TV rant in which SCARBOROUGH criticized SCHWARZENEGGER for comments actually made by an ARNOLD impersonator on HOWARD STERN's radio show.
The fake GOVERNATOR told STERN he wanted to blow up the moon to end women's premenstrual syndrome symptoms, and SCARBOROUGH, according to the WASHINGTON POST, said "Hey, Governor, way to make 50 percent of CALIFORNIA's voting population turn frigid towards you. I don't know how it works in AUSTRIA, but let me tell you something, friend, jokes about such matters -- not laughing subjects to women in AMERICA."

2006 UPDATE:
Radio Equalizer's
Yes, he was a decent congressman from Florida, but that doesn't mean he belongs on the air. He isn't doing conservatives any favors with this sloppy work, either.A seasoned, well-prepped, thinking host would never allow himself to be duped by an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator on the Howard Stern Show:10 days and repeated prodding, for Scarborough to apologize for such a mammoth error, on national television? When he blows off the governor's office and waits until the Post gets on his case, you know there's aproblem.Typically, hosts blame their producers for these types of mistakes, but if you're smart enough to do a talk show, shouldn't you have some kind of ability to wonder whether a story that bizarre is actually true?Even the laziest on-air personality can do a Google search to determine if a rag like thehas it right.Wasn't it strange, Joe, that nobody else was talking about this amazing story? Wouldn't every talk show, newspaper, television program and politician have been all over this?We've all made mistakes on the air, but one this big should not have taken so much effort to get corrected.Would Limbaugh ever fall for a "story" like this? How about Savage, Hannity, or major local talk show hosts? I don't think so. Scarborough comes across here like an unprepped fool.Joe's radio show was cancelled last year.

Update: The National Transportation Safety Board late Friday issued its own apology for “inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed” to KTVU Channel 2 as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday.
The statement said that an NTSB summer intern, in response to the station’s inquiry, “acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.”
However, in a subsequent phone interview with the SFGate’s Jeff Elder, NTSB spokeswoman Kelly Nantel made clear that the names “originated at the media outlet” and that the intern — unaware of the offensive names — was “acting in good faith and trying to be helpful” by confirming names he didn’t know.
“The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crew members or people involved in transportation accidents to the media,” Nantel said.
Original blog post follows: —
KTVU Channel 2 is apologizing for an on-air gaffe that the station — or viewers — won’t soon forget.
During the noon newscast Friday, co-anchor Tori Campbell, announced that “KTVU has just learned the names of the four pilots who were on board” Asiana flight 214 when it crashed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday.
She then read from a teleprompter while a TV graphic displayed four fake names that clearly were someone’s idea of a joke.
The first name — “Captain Sum Ting Wong” — should have been a give-away that something really was wrong. But Campbell kept reading… “Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, Bang Ding Ow.”
Yikes.
After a break, Campbell made an on-air correction, clarifying that the names were clearly wrong — but that they had confirmed them earlier with the National Transportation Safety Board.
KTVU news director Lee Rosenthal did not immediately turn our calls seeking comment.
This incident happened days after station made a web promo hyping its crash coverage:
“This past weekend viewers flocked to KTVU Channel 2 News for coverage of the tragic crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
KTVU Channel 2 News owned this breaking news story with a number of firsts!
– First on-air.
– First on-line.
– First with alerts to mobile devices.
– First on Twitter & Facebook.
– First with aerial shots from KTVU NewsChopper 2.
– First with a live reporter from the scene.
– First live interview with anyone connected to someone on the flight.
Rosenthal is quoted in the promo: “Being first on air and on every platform in all aspects of our coverage was a great accomplishment, but being 100% accurate, effectively using our great sources and social media without putting a single piece of erroneous information on our air, is what we are most proud of as a newsroom.”
In an-online apology, KTVU general manager Tom Raponi said “We are reviewing our procedures to ensure this type of error does not happen again.” | positive |

Direcção de Exploração de Transportes Aéreos (DETA / LAM) Received From: Andrew Angel Print or Image Color: Blue, Red Background / Bag Color: White Plastic Direcção de Exploração de Transportes Aéreos is the forerunner of the modern airline LAM from Mozambique. The instructional artwork looks like it comes from TAP Air Portugal, which dovetails nicely with the fact that Mozambique was once colonized by Portugal. Dirty Sanchez Approximate Vintage: 2007 Received From: Cesar Bautista Print or Image Color: Red, Black Background / Bag Color: White Pretty much, this bag assumes you know what a Dirty Sanchez is. Hint: It's tangentially related to a Hot Carl. Your next stop is Wikipedia. Anyway, these bags were distributed at a movie convention in Las Vegas in July 2007 to promote the opening of this movie. Disgusting Food Museum Los Angeles Approximate Vintage: 2019 Received From: Samuel West Print or Image Color: Black, White Background / Bag Color: White, Black The Disgusting Food Museum has two locations, Los Angeles and Sweden. As a gimmick, the museum decide to use barf bags for admission. This bag says Admission ONE PERSON LOCATION: LOS ANGELES Adult Student / Senior Child DISGUSTING FOOD MUSEUM disgustingfooodmuseum.com Disgusting Food Museum Malmo Sweden Approximate Vintage: 2019 Received From: Samuel West Print or Image Color: Black, White Background / Bag Color: White, Black The Disgusting Food Museum has two locations, Los Angeles and Sweden. As a gimmick, the museum decide to use barf bags for admission. This bag says Admission ONE PERSON LOCATION: MALMO Adult Child DISGUSTING FOOD MUSEUM disgustingfooodmuseum.com Disneyland Star Tours Approximate Vintage: 1986 Print or Image Color: Blue and Orange Background / Bag Color: Gray Unbelievable! Disneyland, perpetually santitized for your protection, actually issued a barf bag. This is for a ride called "Star Tours". The bag was discontinued when Disney felt that the bag no longer sent the proper corporate message. I almost listed this under Space Sickness Bags, since it says right on the bag to use in case of Space Sickness. Divine Ball Approximate Vintage: 2018 Received From: Noah Brodie Print or Image Color: Red Background / Bag Color: White On March 31, 2018 in Los Angeles there was a "Divine Ball" where supposedly 1000 people dressed like movie star Divine showed up. To celebrate, the organizers released a barf bag that says GOLDENVOICE preseents Divine ball Lethal Amounts Sex Cells Official Barf Bag Dniproavia Approximate Vintage: 2011 Received From: Vidas Vekerotas Print or Image Color: Blue Background / Bag Color: White I love a bag that has no English on it. This Ukranian carrier had only 3 small planes in its fleet before being taken over by AeroSvit in 2012. I like the "Band-Aid" texture of the blue stripe on the bag. Do You Want Received From: Christian Annyas Print or Image Color: Purple and Gray Background / Bag Color: White Besides having a really nice layout, this bag poses the open-ended question, "do you want...". What could this mean? Here are just a few of the possbilitites (or suggest your own): do you want... fries with that? to dance under the moonlight? to die? to quit smoking? this stupid list to end? Professional Bagster, Paul Van de Keere, who is actually an employee of De Ster Belgium chimes in with the definitive answer saying it 'is a neutral airsicknessbag of the articles sold by the firm "De Ster", travel division of Duni Sweden'. In any event, Paul never did reveal what the enigmatic words, 'Do you want?' are suppposed to mean. Doci Approximate Vintage: 2002 Received From: Knut Wegers Print or Image Color: Navy Background / Bag Color: White Unremarkable bag, despite KLM-ish logo. However if you examine the back side of the bag, they thank English speakers for throwing up, but not Spanish speakers. Doctor Butcher Received From: Scott Cunningham Print or Image Color: Black Background / Bag Color: White This is a rare find I purchased on eBay. It seems that in the mid-90s, a movie theater in Lodi, OH printed up special bags for several horror flicks under the umbrella name of Midnight Cinema This bag says WARNING MAY INDUCE VOMITING... DOCTOR BUTCHER M.D. MEDICAL DEVIATE He is a depraved, sadistic rapist; A bloodthirsty, homicidal killer. ... and He Makes House Calls! VOMIT BAG A PRODUCT OF MONDO BIZARRO PROD. LIMITED TO 25 Doctor Butcher M.D. Approximate Vintage: 2016 Received From: Tom Taggart Print or Image Color: Red, Black Background / Bag Color: White Plastic This bag is from the movie "Doctor Butcher M.D." and says WARNING! MAY INDUCE VOMITING DOCTOR BUTCHER M.D. MEDICAL DEVIATE He is a depraved, sadistic rapist; A bloodthristy, homicidal killer. ... and He Makes House Calls! SEVERIN One interesting note about this bag is that they printed the copy on the same generic bag that Southwest uses. On the bottom, it says "U.S. Patent No. 7,041,042 and features LK Plastics logo, without the words "LK Plastics". Dodekanisos Seaways Received From: Gerhard Lang Print or Image Color: Navy Background / Bag Color: White Much like Aegean Airlines, there is a connect the dots to keep you busy while you're sick. However, notice about a third of the way down on the right side, there are two different dots numbered 16. Also, they inexplicably print the answer of the finished product, which is not surprisingly the logo. Doktor Goulfinger Received From: Chuck Jarman Print or Image Color: Black Background / Bag Color: White This bag was packaged with a DVD of 'The Devil Bat' starring Bela Lugosi, with your host, Doctor Goulfinger. The bag says, "Operation: Hip Crypt" Junior Agent's Field Gear Item #007 Doktor Goulfinger's B.A.R.F. BAG (B-Movie Activated Regurgitation Facilitator) Unseasoned agents may experience extreme nausea when reviewing transmissions from Doktor Goulfinger. Barfage system required during course of video viewings until visual constitution builds. Place mouth over sack opening Eject contents of stomach Domodedovo Airlines Received From: Jon Barnes Print or Image Color: Blue, Red Background / Bag Color: White Plastic Even though this airline went out of business in 2008, an airport of the same name still exists. I had never seen this bag until I watched a YouTube video by the donor, Jon Barnes. Dragon Air Approximate Vintage: 1989 Received From: Linda Weber Background / Bag Color: Tan Dragon Air Approximate Vintage: 1996 Received From: Mary Beth McNamara Print or Image Color: Gray and Red Background / Bag Color: White Leonard Araujo can't give a positive ID, but says he thinks it's from Korean Air Lines or some other International Korean Air Line. Bruce Kelly positively ID's the bag as Dragon Air, which I certainly believe given the other Dragon Air versions I have. Dragon Air Approximate Vintage: 1996 Received From: Christopher Wren Print or Image Color: Gray and Red Background / Bag Color: White Same as other 1996 bag, except stars are printed in the fold. Dragon Air Approximate Vintage: 1997 Received From: Holger Huette Print or Image Color: Gray and Red Background / Bag Color: White Close to 1996 bag, except now you're supposed to fold toward you instead of away from you. I'm sure some high paid motion sickness consultant determined that this is better somehow. Has the ACS Pacman in the fold. Dragon Air Received From: Daniel Senn Print or Image Color: Red and Black Background / Bag Color: White Daniel tells me that this bag had been hanging in a place called the "Speedy-Bar" somewhere in Switzerland. I'm not sure what he had to do to convince the barkeep to give him the bag, but I hope he doesn't regret it.

Large Family Learning : What's In Our Atmosphere? skip to main | skip to sidebar ABOUT BOOK REVIEWS READING SAHM NATURE RECIPES LARGE FAMILIES GRIEF / LOSS OUR LIFE CHICKENS Monday, March 7, 2011 What's In Our Atmosphere? The Charlotte Mason Blog Carnival this week is to be themed on Charlotte's idea that education is an atmosphere. I'm not going to delve into what this means. I'll assume you're either already familiar with the idea, or else refer you to Charlotte's own words about it in volume 6 of her series, pages 94-99, or Sonya Shafer's thoughts about it, if you'd rather. Or, check out the CM Carnival tomorrow -- I'm sure there will be at least a few different perspectives on it there with some excellent thoughts. What I want to do is share some personal thoughts about how this concept applies in my own home, from both a perspective of some things that need improvement, and also some things that are going well. I'll begin with the negative "needs improvement" category, since it will make me feel better to end with the positive. I can use all the positivity I can get right now. :) But I hope that the discussion of my "needs improvement" items can help you feel better, if you also struggle with this sort of thing. You aren't the only one. My first thought in revisiting this concept of atmosphere was that it's sure good for me to review, because our atmosphere needs some major help!! I think I pretty much always feel that way when I'm at the point where most of the sickness I experience in early pregnancy is behind me and I'm left to assess the damages with slowly returning strength and awareness. That's where I'm at right now. I'm thankful to be feeling much better, yet I'm often very tempted to let the stress of the neglected state of things (so many of which affect atmosphere to varying degrees) really get the best of me. When I don't handle it well, that by itself does nothing to improve the atmosphere of anything, and it can actually drive me back into sickness because I do foolish things, like worrying about it or trying to do too much at once. This can affect my rest/sleep and/or eating habits negatively, which don't help anybody's health, especially a pregnant lady's. Not that it's an excuse, but it happens because I have so many things I want to address, and they all (of course) seem to need addressing at once! Right now there's an extra complication in that we'd really love to be able to move out of this house BEFORE this baby is born (!), and I got very overwhelmed Saturday about the whole mess as I saw it. Didn't help that I was too tired already from the aforementioned trying to do too much. So in the middle of the night I found myself sick and tired and unable to sleep. Dumb. You'd think by my sixth time this far along in a pregnancy I'd have this stuff figured out, huh? Thankfully, my husband was very patient with me and helped me yesterday by listening to my difficulties and helping me problem solve. I especially appreciated it because problem solving isn't really his favorite activity, and because he had a lot he needed to do himself. He even helped me come up with an idea for yet another very basic temporary schedule (I should quit calling some of them temporary -- they're all temporary around here), which should theoretically help with the main areas I need to regain control over (assuming I ever had control, ha) regarding the functioning of our house (clothing, food, cleaning, organization/order, and school), and as a result also help me to more easily help other things in both myself and the children that aren't quite as tangible or schedule-able, such as attitudes and character habits which are either just suffering recently or somehow seem to be quite lacking. So my hope is that at least that part of the atmosphere around here will indeed improve after all, and the children just might learn to live like civilized humans and I perhaps won't have to apologize to their future spouses after all for my inability to teach them habits I lack myself... Or maybe I should just apologize now...? Wouldn't that be easier? ;) When I get negative about things, like anyone, I can blow them out of proportion a bit. Not a lot, mind you. Okay, maybe sometimes. However, these things really have suffered. Some of them had been suffering a while even before I got sick, which just makes it that much worse. So... it's time to talk about the things that are going well now. :) A little bit ago I was reflecting to myself on how far "behind" certain ones of the children are, compared to where I want them to be in certain areas, lamenting to myself about this, and blaming myself for getting so little accomplished during the past several weeks (no, I didn't remind myself at this point how big an accomplishment my body is working on in helping a baby develop -- sometimes I do remind myself of that in early pregnancy, but talk about accomplishment that doesn't feel like it, ha), as though I had time to spare. But then I suddenly thought that there was another perspective I could look at it all from. I can't remember what prompted the thought, but I think it might have been the sight of one of my children engrossed in some educational activity of his or her own accord, or of a book one of them had recently finished reading without any requirement from me. Both of those sights have brought it to mind at some point, but I don't remember what was first. But when I reviewed the concept of education being an atmosphere, this came to mind again. When I thought about what the children HAD accomplished during that time -- things which they may not have had time or inclination to do had I been well and leading them in other directions -- I saw, not a lack of education, but only differences in what was actually learned, or the angle from which it was approached, than from what I had set out in my plans. And who's to say whether I'm right about what's important, anyway? Certainly I can see that it really doesn't matter whether they learn this or that in this or that arbitrary year, for the most part, when it's all said and done. When I looked more carefully, I had to smile, because I knew some of the truly important things were being absorbed. I saw children who had pursued independent learning activities with eagerness, who had mastered challenges and accomplished projects they set for themselves, who had more time for creativity, for art, music, free reading, etc., than they tend to get when things are more structured. They also got more educational time with their dad than usual, because he stepped in and did far more reading aloud than I did, and also helped out some with overseeing other things. I think the reading was especially nice, as it was a bonding experience for them all. Many of the things that were accomplished by the children during this time happened because of atmosphere. An atmosphere that I helped contribute to, even if it was mostly before I was sick. The careful selection (and editing where needed) of books, the games and supplies we provided, the example of learning and enjoying it as a natural part of life, the limiting of exposure to less worthwhile pursuits -- all these contributed. So I HAD done something more than I thought to help them during this time, and I'd even done it ahead! I suddenly felt like I got something right! Yes, education is an atmosphere. I'm thankful to God for this bit of encouragement, which helps me believe that with His help I can keep making improvements. I want to be sure that our atmosphere includes more of some other important elements, not just in the area of academics, but in all of that atmosphere of life education. Even if everything doesn't fit in or turn out just the way I think it ought to all the time. Or ever. Wait -- ever? Can't I get something my way sometimes? ;-) This post is part of the Charlotte Mason Blog Carnival, hosted this week at Fisher Academy International.

You certainly have an atmosphere of blessing all around you. So, you're moving and you're in the middle of a pregnancy? I think you have special circumstances that require grace all around - the most wonderful of atmospheres!

ReplyDelete Replies Reply Jamie {See Jamie blog} March 10, 2011 at 12:54 PM It's so easy for us homeschool moms to beat ourselves up at how "behind" we are! Your children, by the way, are adorable. :) ReplyDelete Replies Reply Amber March 28, 2011 at 9:07 PM Thank you for all your encouraging comments, ladies. :) You're right, Nancy, with your perspective on a gracious atmosphere. Thanks. Erin, my husband doesn't consider himself good at problem-solving, but he was good enough to help me this time anyway! Thanks about the children, Jamie -- I think they're super-cute, but of course I'm biased. ;) They are precious blessings. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...

HONG KONG — When the Congyi Church in Hangzhou was finally complete in 2005, it was called the largest Chinese church in the world, able to hold a crowd of 5,500. Nearly $6.5 million was raised to fund its construction. Years later, as Congyi’s membership swelled, even the underground parking lot was reappropriated as a meeting place by younger worshipers, so they raised another million dollars to build a new parking lot.
All of the money came from Congyi’s congregation. Their pastor, Gu Yuese, whose name is the Chinese transliteration of Joseph, managed the church’s affairs for years, and eventually became the highest-ranking church official sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
On Jan. 29, Gu was arrested by Chinese police, who stated “economic matters” as the reason. Days later, the CCP accused Gu of embezzling $1.6 million. From where, allegedly? That remains unclear.
Gu’s arrest occurred as the Chinese government continues to make heavy-handed moves to rein in Chinese Christians. In the name of maintaining “safety and beauty,” the CCP has bulldozed churches and torn down crosses—all painted red as reminders of the blood shed by the faithful when Mao Zedong’s troops tried to erase their faith from China almost 50 years ago. Those who speak out against the CCP’s decisions are arrested and placed in black jails.
Beijing now attempts to regulate Protestant and Catholic churches by demanding local leaders answer to the Chinese government instead of the Vatican or other religious authorities. In the past, the Party would groom individuals within Chinese churches to act as the government’s proxies. But the state-church face-off has become increasingly tense as Beijing now wants to force its way into the pulpit too. CCP religious affairs officials want their own time slots during Sunday worship to educate churchgoers about the Party’s religious policies and regulations. The idea is not popular among parishioners.
Pastor Gu was vocal in his opposition to the destruction of crosses in Zhejiang province. Since 2014, 1,800 crosses have been torn down by the Chinese authorities. Bob Fu, a pastor who escaped a police crackdown in China before he founded ChinaAid, a Christian human-rights group based in Texas, shared his view that Gu’s arrest was not so much about corruption, but was “political revenge.”
Imprisoned, Gu penned a letter to his congregation to say he is doing well, and that the investigation into the alleged embezzlement was for his “own benefit.” The letter went on: “Please have faith in our government and judicial department. They will do their work rigorously, abiding by the laws and unearthing the truth with impartiality, justice, and public transparency.”
Lines like those sound suspicious enough to make many in Gu’s congregation believe he was forced to write the letter, a sentiment shared by Chinese citizens after similar I’m-doing-well letters were made public following the abduction of five booksellers based in Hong Kong. The same language is used in pre-trial televised confessions, which are also believed to be produced via coercion.
Gu was arrested under Article 73 of China’s Criminal Procedure Law, which states anyone suspected of committing a crime that endangers state security, involving terrorist activities or significant bribes, is placed in “residential surveillance at a designated place.” That means Gu is jailed in a secret location as he awaits final charges. According to Article 73, suspects can be held for up to six months in any location chosen by the authorities, and are denied legal counsel and visits.
When over 250 human-rights lawyers and their associates were arrested last July, they were held according to the framework outlined by Article 73. Many were released within days, but some of those who remained under “residential surveillance” for months were beaten or tortured. Seven individuals who were arrested in the July sweep were charged with “subversion” last month.
Officially, China is an atheist country, but constitutionally guarantees religious freedom. However, in practice, the CCP is wary of all religious organizations. In particular, CCP officials see several religious bodies as threatening forces, including Protestant and Catholic churches. The Party has just under 88 million members, whereas there may be up to 100 million Christians in China today. Wenzhou, a city in the same province as Hangzhou, has an estimated 1.2 million Protestants among its population of 9 million, and is known as China’s Jerusalem. By the end of 2014, China was the largest producer of Christian Bibles. Walk through the old city of the actual Jerusalem or other major Christian sites, and you’ll find many of the crosses and rosaries for sale were made in China.
As the CCP becomes increasingly vocal against foreign influence, or is at least quick to blame foreign powers for domestic woes, Christianity is seen by Beijing as a hazard to the Party’s dominance in the political fabric of China even though the churches seem to hold no such agenda.
Chinese citizens join churches for various reasons. Some enter with curiosity and end up returning every week. Others join their neighbors, schoolmates, or business contacts for Sunday mass. Becoming part of China’s churches isn’t only a spiritual matter; the draw is also in the social element, the togetherness that a group of friendly people can offer.
The most common theme is that church leadership is well liked and respected. Not only is there a sense of community, members of Chinese churches feel like they can trust the pastors or priests who give mass every Sunday, but are also around to offer assistance whenever needed. The clergy embed themselves within the community, and are, well, nice, and don’t exclude anyone. That’s a huge contrast to CCP officials, who amid Chinese President Xi Jinping’s corruption crackdown are still seen as individuals with guarded and selfish interests.
Church leaders like Gu have cultivated massive followings, particularly along the central eastern coast where many churches are located. House churches, though illegal under Chinese law, continue to spread and gather new members by word of mouth. One hundred million Christians among nearly 1.4 billion people in China may seem like a small slice of the population, but that’s sufficient to rattle the CCP’s existential foundations. After all, it wasn’t so long ago—roughly around the time of the American Civil War—when Imperial China was rocked by a pseudo-Christian uprising that resulted in 20 to 30 million deaths. It was the Taiping Rebellion, led by a man who claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. Beijing’s mistake is thinking that the churches of Zhejiang are hungry for power, and that miscalculation is costing the CCP in what they perceive as a battle for China’s soul. | positive |
Nadia Kotova Search this site Skip to main content Skip to navigation Nadia Kotova I am an Economist at LinkedIn. I graduated with a PhD in Economics from Stanford GSB in Jan 2022. In my research, I combined causal inference and machine learning methods to study inefficiencies and riskiness in the US housing market. Here is my LinkedIn. Working Papers Liquidity in Residential Real Estate Markets with Anthony Lee Zhang R&R, Review of Financial Studies We build a rich panel dataset tracking two measures of housing market liquidity: time-on-market and price dispersion. The two measures co-vary closely at seasonal and business-cycle frequencies, but there is substantial independent variation in the cross-section of counties. This suggests that the two measures reflect different dimensions of market liquidity. Using a housing search model, we show that time-on-market and price dispersion can be thought of as equilibrium outcomes from a supply and demand system for liquidity. Consistent with the model’s predictions, proxies for liquidity supply are negatively correlated with both measures, whereas a proxy for liquidity demand is negatively correlated with time-on-market, but positively correlated with price dispersion. Dynamic Selection in Search Markets: Evidence from the US Housing Market with Zi Yang Kang This paper studies how the quality of goods traded in a market evolves in the presence of predictable cyclical changes in market conditions. We document a set of novel stylized facts about the US housing market. We show that housing markets of better neighborhoods are more seasonal and higher quality houses are more likely to be traded in summer when housing markets are hot. We then consider a choice problem of a seller who owns an asset with perfectly observable quality who must decide whether to enter the market now or wait for the market conditions to improve. Market participation is costly, and the cost depends on the seller's type. In the model, the quality of sellers who enter the market fluctuates in response to cyclical changes in market conditions. We characterize conditions under which each seller type strategically chooses to delay entering the market until market conditions improve. A Deep Learning Approach to Predicting Race Using Personal Name and Location (GitHub) I train a recurrent neural network to predict individuals’ race using information contained in their name and location of residence. I introduce a novel data source that contains millions of race/name/zipcode triplets and covers the entire US. I train my baseline LSTM model using only personal name data. The baseline model attains overall accuracy of 0.87, which is a non-trivial improvement over the existing benchmarks in the literature. However, because personal names of Non-Hispanic Whites and Non-Hispanic Blacks follow similar naming conventions, the baseline model struggles at accurately classifying Non-Hispanic Blacks. Using location data in addition to personal name improves classification accuracy of the model for Non-Hispanic Blacks substantially, and allows the best model to achieve 0.89 accuracy on the test set. Industrial Coagglomerations and Risk Concentration In this paper, I argue that industrial concentration increases the exposure of local areas to industry-specific risk. Industrial concentration, therefore, creates risk concentration through amplified pass-through of industry-specific productivity shocks into local wages, local employment, and prices of local assets. Empirically, I show that industrial concentration increases year-to-year volatility of local wages, employment, and house prices. Next, I document that more specialized MSAs are more likely to experience large positive or negative shocks at decadal frequencies. Finally, I conduct case studies of persistent industry-specific shocks to further demonstrate the large pass-through of these shocks into house prices.

Tolerance is a value that seems to be in short supply in modern society. Nowadays, differences in ideology, political allegiance, and religious belief, are seen as good enough excuses for not tolerating, and even hating, other groups of people. Yet, there are numerous instances where different sectors of society have been able to co-exist in harmony despite their differences. One such example can be found in the archaeological site of Ellora, India.
Ellora is situated not far from Aurangabad, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This site is home to 34 monasteries and temples, extending over a distance of more than 2km. These structures were dug into the wall of a high basalt cliff. It is unclear when these caves were built, and estimates range from between 200 B.C. and 600 A.D. to between 600 A.D. and 1000 A.D. The oldest caves can be found on the southern side of the cliff and are of Buddhist origin. It has been claimed that they were built between the 5 th and 7 th century A.D., during which there was a flourishing of the Buddhist Mahayana sects in the region. The Buddhist caves comprised of monasteries and a single large temple (Cave 10). A lot of effort was put into these structures. For instance in Cave 12, the three-storied building is believed to have been built entirely by human hands and hard labour. The rock-hard floors and ceiling of this cave were made level and smooth, reflecting the immense skill and craftsmanship of the builders.

Moving north from the Buddhist group, one reaches the Hindu Caves. These 17 caves belong mainly to the Saivite sect, and date to the Rashtrakuta period in the middle of the 8 th century A.D. For instance, Cave 16 is said to have been built by the Rashtrakuta king, Krishna I, and dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva. This cave was named ‘Kailasa’ after the deity’s mountain home in the Himalayas, Mount Kailash, and consists of a shrine with a lingam at the rear of the hall with a sikhara, a flat-roofed mandapa supported by 16 pillars, and a separate porch for Nandi surrounded by an open court entered through a low gopura. In addition, there is also a sculpture of Ravana, the Rakshasha king of Lanka, attempting to lift Mount Kailash with his full might. This is said to be one of the landmarks in Indian art.

The last four caves belong to the Jain group. These were said to be built between A.D. 800 and A.D. 1000 by the Digambara sect. These caves are massive, well-proportioned and decorated. For example, there are delicate carvings of lotus flowers and other elaborate ornaments in Cave 32. In addition, the builders of these caves are said to have drawn their artistic inspiration from the pre-existing structures at Ellora. For instance, certain features of Cave 32 are noted for their resemblance to the ‘Kailasa’.

Unlike past examples in history, where the dominant religion of a time and place has pulled down the temples and structures of other groups, replacing them with their own, the Ellora Caves demonstrate respect and acceptance of other religions. There was no need for the followers of one religion to convert the sacred space of another into their own. They simply moved along, found an empty spot, and built their own sanctuaries. The Ellora Caves, therefore, not only bear witness to three great religions, but they also illustrate the spirit of tolerance, characteristic of ancient India, which permitted these three religions to establish their sanctuaries and their communities in a single place.
Every year, large crowds of pilgrims and tourists visit the Ellora Caves. For some, it is the sacredness of the site that draws them there, while for others, it is the site’s artistic value that attracts them. On the 3 rd week of March each year, the Ellora Festival of Classical Music and Dance is held at the Caves, breathing life into this ancient site. Finally, the significance of the Ellora Caves can be seen in the fact that they were inscribed by UNESCO into the World Heritage List in 1983. This is a heritage that hopefully will be preserved for many generations to come.

Accurately measuring a shot of alcohol is important. Whether you’re trying to accurately make a cocktail, or even just want to make sure your drink tastes good, you can’t just be pouring vodka willy-nilly. However, what happens if there’s no shot glass to be found? Well, turns out there are a few different options to solve your problem. But first, if we’re going to delve into the world of accurate pouring, there are a few other things we should discuss.
How Much is a Shot?
Turns out, shot glasses aren’t exactly standardized. Some are 1 oz, some 1.5 oz, big ones are usually 2 oz, the list goes on. Most don’t have their size written on them anywhere, so you’re left approximating how big of a shot it will hold. This same issue holds true for recipes. If it calls for one shot, that could vary a great deal depending on who the author of the recipe is and where they live –standard shot size varies from country to country. Now, this might all seem like splitting hairs a bit, but if you’re making something that needs really accurate measurements, then it’s worth it –your taste buds (and hangover possibly) will thank you.
In the US, 1.5 oz for a shot is (very) generally the standard measurement, so let’s go with that.
Measure a Shot Without a Shot Glass
Now, back to the problem at hand –measuring out a shot without using a shot glass. Here are a few options you can try if your fresh out of shots glasses, some are even more accurate!
Measuring Spoons
A tablespoon holds about 1/2 oz of liquid. So, use three of those and you have yourself a 1.5 oz shot. Or, if you’re really out of luck and only have teaspoons, you can do some math and use that too (the answer is 9, for the multiplication impaired out there. 9 teaspoons = 1.5 oz). This only works for actual measuring spoons though, a regular spoon from the drawer won’t work, silly.
Medicine Cup
Go check out your medicine cabinet and chances are you’ve got one of those little plastic medicine cups in there (check on top of the NyQuil, for example). Perfect! What’s great about these is that, while they also vary in size, they always have measurement lines printed on the cup (something about accurate dosing of medicine being important…). Most are 1 oz or 2 oz, which makes them easy to use as teeny tiny alcohol measuring cups.
Solo Cups
If you’re doing a lot of drinking but somehow don’t have a shot glass handy, chances are you’ve got a bunch of red solo cups lying around. And though this college dorm type scenario doesn’t quite bode well with the need to pour extremely accurate shots, let’s just go with it. Hey, maybe there are some frat boys out there who are really persnickety about their cocktails, you don’t know.
Anyway, there are claims out there on the interwebs that the lines on solo cups correspond to the accurate pouring measurements of various alcohol (the bottom line for shots, the middle for wine, the top for beer). And while Dart (the company the makes the cups) has stated that this isn’t true, you can totally still use them to measure.
The bottom line on the solo cup is 1 oz, so you’ll have to adjust a little bit if you’re looking for our magic 1.5 oz, but it’s still totally workable. And if you’re looking for larger measurements, the middle line is 5 oz and the top is 12 oz.
Make Your Own Measuring Cup
Ok, so you don’t have any sort of measuring device. As long as you have something with a known size, you can make your own measuring cup by using displacement. For example, a ping pong ball is almost always 1 oz (1.1 oz to be exact), so you can use that.
Fill a clear plastic cup half way with water, then mark the level with a sharpie. Now, submerge the ping pong ball and mark the new surface level. Take the ping pong ball out and fill the cup with water to the level you just marked. Repeat this process one more time so you now have two lines and the liquid in between will be equal to one ounce.
Now, pour just the water between those two lines out of this cup into a new plastic cup. This time, mark the level of this new one ounce amount in the new cup. (Feel free to continue to do this one ounce at a time and marking lines as you go in the new cup until you have 1 oz lines all the way to the top to have a decent measuring cup when you’re done.)
Once you’re done, you’ll have a plastic cup with perfect 1 oz serving lines marked on it. Boom, science.
Learn to Free Pour
This one takes a bit of shot glass-lack anticipation, and certainly isn’t helpful in the moment. But why not learn to free pour like a boss? Then you’ll never need one of those pesky shot glasses again.
Get one of those pour spouts, like they use at bars, and practice with a bottle of water. Count to four as you pour the water into a cup. Then measure the water you poured to see how you did. If you did it right, the four-second count should yield 1.5 oz of water. Practice and adjust your counting speed accordingly until you can accurately count out the perfect pour every time.
Now you should be set for most any situation requiring an accurate pour of liquor. But, if all else fails, just guess… and then add a little more. Strong drinks are good.
Any other ways you have to get an accurate shot?

Scoring in professional basketball is one of the most beautiful things in sports. With only moments to set up his shot, a player tosses a ball into a soaring arc, and it drops through a hoop only slightly larger than the ball. That or he flies to the hoop and deposits the ball directly.
It’s no wonder, then, that individual players’ scoring abilities get the most attention. But basketball is a complex and dynamic sport, and this skill is only one of many that determine what kind of impact a particular player has on the bottom line.
In fact, if you had to pick one statistic from the common box score to tell you as much as possible about whether a player helps or hurts his team, it isn’t how many points he scores. Nor how many rebounds he grabs. Nor how many assists he dishes out.
It’s how many steals he gets.
This phenomenon — that steals is one of the most informative stats in basketball — has important implications for how we think about sports data. But it can also help us investigate real-life basketball mysteries, such as “What the heck is going on in Minnesota?”
Consider the curious case of Ricky Rubio. A professional basketball player since the age of 14, he won a silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics (leading a strong Spanish team in assists, steals and even defensive rebounds during the knockout rounds). The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted him in 2009 with the fifth overall pick (age: 18), but he initially stayed in Spain, not making his NBA debut until 2011.
During the two years Rubio spent at FC Barcelona, his eventual Minnesota teammate Kevin Love ascended into the ranks of the NBA’s statistical elite. This left many to expect (or hope) that adding Rubio would finally make the Timberwolves a contender. But in his first two seasons, the Timberwolves still haven’t made the playoffs. Going into the 2013-14 season, ESPN’s TrueHoop Network ranked Rubio as the 49th best player in the league (only slightly ahead of teammate Nikola Pekovic). He has struggled with injuries and is considered a terrible, “makes Rajon Rondo look like Reggie Miller”-type shooter.
Since entering the NBA, Rubio has been dominant in two major statistical categories: not scoring and steals. Of all players averaging 30-plus minutes, Rubio’s 10 points per game is the third-fewest overall, and the worst of all guards by more than a point.
His 2.4 steals per game, on the other hand, is the second most. It’s only .1 steals behind five-time NBA steals champion Chris Paul (and Rubio edges Paul in steals per minute and steal percentage).
What do you do when you have highly divergent indicators such as these? NBA stat geeks have been trying to mash up box score stats for decades. The most famous attempt is John Hollinger’s player efficiency rating, which ostensibly includes steals in its calculation but values them about as much as two-point baskets. In other words, steals have only a small effect on a player’s PER. Despite his stealing prowess, Rubio has a career PER of 15.6, ranking 82nd in the league for the period. Meanwhile, Love has a PER of 25.7 (fourth in the league) over that same time.
Hollinger weights each stat in his formula based on his informed estimation of its intrinsic value. Although this is intuitively neat, empiricists like to test these sorts of things. One way to do it is to compare how teams have performed with and without individual players, using the results to examine what kinds of player statistics most accurately predict the differences. In particular, we’re interested in which player stats best predict whether a team will win or lose more often without him.
By this measure, PER vastly undervalues steals. Because steals and baskets seem to be similarly valuable, and there are so many more baskets than steals in a game, it’s hard to see how steals can be all that important. But those steals hold additional value when we predict the impact of the players who get them. A lot more value. So much so that a player’s steals per game is more important to evaluating his worth than his ability to score points, even though steals are so much rarer.
To illustrate this, I created a regression using each player’s box score stats (points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals and turnovers) to predict how much teams would suffer when someone couldn’t play. The results:
Yes, this pretty much means a steal is “worth” as much as nine points. To put it more precisely: A marginal steal is weighted nine times more heavily when predicting a player’s impact than a marginal point.
For example, a player who averages 16 points and two steals per game is predicted (assuming all else is equal) to have a similar impact on his team’s success as one who averages 25 points but only one steal. If these players were on different teams and were both injured at the same time, we would expect their teams to have similar decreases in performance (on average).
Steals have considerable intrinsic value. Not only do they kill an opponent’s possession, but a team’s ensuing possession — the one that started with the steal — often leads to fast-break scoring opportunities. But though this explains how a steal can be more valuable than a two-point basket, it doesn’t come close to explaining how we get from that to nine points.
I’ve heard a lot of different theories about how steals can be so much more predictively valuable than they seem: Steals “cost” less than other stats, or players who get more steals might also play better defense, or maybe steals are just a product of, as pundits like to call it, high basketball IQ. These are all worth considering and may be true to various degrees, but I think there’s a subtler — yet extremely important — explanation.
Think about all that occurs in a basketball game — no matter who is playing, there will be plenty of points, rebounds and assists to go around. But some things only happen because somebody makes them happen. If you replaced a player with someone less skilled at that particular thing, it wouldn’t just go to somebody else. It wouldn’t occur at all. Steals are disproportionately those kinds of things.
Most people vastly underestimate how much a player’s box score stats are a function of that player’s role and style of play, as opposed to his tangible contribution to his team’s performance. A player averaging one more point per game than another doesn’t actually mean his team scores one more point per game as a result of his presence. He may be shooting more than he should and hurting his team’s offense. Similarly, one player getting a lot of rebounds doesn’t make his team a good rebounding team: He may be getting rebounds that his team could have gotten without him.
What we are looking for is a kind of statistical “irreplaceability.” If a player produces one more X (point, rebound, steal, etc.) for his team, and is then taken from the team (by injury, suspension, trade, etc.), how much of that stat does his team really lose? How much of it can be replaced?
I tested for this by running a series of regressions using each player’s box score stats (points, rebounds, assists, etc.) to predict how much teams would suffer without a player in each particular area. In other words, for a player who averages X points, Y rebounds, Z assists, etc., how much does his team’s scoring decrease when he’s out? How much does its rebounding decrease? The way I’ve set it up, a stat’s irreplaceability will roughly run from zero (completely replaceable) to one (completely irreplaceable). Let’s visualize it like so:
So, look at the points-per-game column. Suppose a player averages one more point per game than another player. His team is likely to average only an additional .17 points with him on the floor because points are 83 percent replaceable. It would take almost six points of his scoring to add one additional point to his team’s tally.
For steals, the picture is much different. If a player averages one more steal than another player (say 2.5 steals per game instead of 1.5) his team is likely to average .96 more steals than it would without him (if all else stayed equal). That’s why, as an individual player action, steals are much more irreplaceable than points.
Basketball is a game of high scores and small margins. The best team ever — the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls — only won by an average of 12 points per game, and I’d be surprised if more than a handful of players have ever been worth half that on their own (maybe Michael Jordan, probably LeBron James). With steals 96 percent “irreplaceable,” and each worth a couple of points, one extra steal per game puts a good player well on his way to being an excellent one.
With this in mind, it’s worth taking another look at Rubio, the quirky sidekick to MVP candidate Love. Rubio seems deficient at the game’s central skill (putting the ball in the hoop) but is gifted at the one that matters to my model (thievery).
It’s our good fortune that Rubio and Love have missed a number of games at different times, so we can check whether there’s anything to be gleaned by comparing team performance with and without them. Here are his and Love’s win percentages and average team margin of victory both together and separate since 2011-12:
In other words, the Timberwolves have struggled to win games when either one of its duo out, and they’ve lost quite badly with both gone. Despite being an elite scorer and rebounder who is routinely ranked as one of the league’s top players, Love’s observable impact has been only marginally better than Rubio’s. So far, both are putting up elite numbers. The Timberwolves have played nearly seven points per game worse without Rubio in their lineup. That’s absurdly high. So high that I’d be surprised if either player’s numbers bore out in the long run. But it’s worth noting that, contrary to conventional wisdom, Rubio may be exceeding expectations.
Taken alone, this comparison doesn’t answer the question of Rubio’s value, and it doesn’t prove that steals are as valuable as I think they are. But it’s powerfully consistent with that claim. More important, it’s a perfect example of how, even in a storm of complex, causally dynamic, massively intertwined data and information, sometimes odd little things that are known to be reliable and predictable are the most valuable.
Editor’s note: A table in this article has been updated to include additional data from the past week. | positive |
With the legislature rapidly approaching adjournment, sponsors of SB 1912 and its companion bill HB 2248 came to a compromise on a bill that will defund the University of Tennessee- Knoxville’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The bill would restrict all state funds from being expended by the University to promote the use of gender neutral pronouns, to promote or inhibit the celebration of religious holidays, or to fund or support Sex Week at UT.
However, during Senate Education Committee last week, Senate sponsor Sen. Todd Gardenhire (R- Chattanooga) introduced amendatory language in contrast to the House edition. In the Senate version, the funds from the Office of Diversity’s 2016-17 fiscal year would be reallocated to a minority engineering scholarship program. But in the House version, sponsored by Rep. Micah VanHuss (R- Jonesborough), it stipulates that roughly $100,000 be diverted from the UTK Office of Diversity budget to UTK’s Graphic Design Program and Printing and Mail Services to create, print, and administer a decal program, which would go to the state Department of Finance and Administration and the decals would read “In God We Trust” for state and local law enforcement vehicles. The rest of the funds budgeted to the office for the upcoming year would then go to student recruitment.
Both sponsors during floor sessions on Thursday refused to concur with the companion version of their bills, and a Conference Committee was appointed to mediate the differences in the bill. The conference was not without its share of conflict, as Rep. VanHuss was adamant in his support of the decal program and insuring that the Office of Diversity be defunded beyond the upcoming fiscal year. Sen. Gardenhire supported his version of the bill by pointing out that his course of action gave the University a second chance and that an indefinite stripping of state funds to the Office of Diversity would be inappropriate.
Without a compromise, the bill was in danger of being killed, as the legislature is aiming to adjourn for the year by the end of the week. Once the legislature adjourns, all bills not completed or passed by both Houses are dead, as the upcoming legislative year is the beginning of a new General Assembly.
The committee, composed of six members of the House and Senate, eventually agreed to the Senate version of the bill, defunding the Office of Diversity and Inclusion for the 2016-17 fiscal year and reallocating over $400,000 to a minority engineering scholarship program. The House passed the compromised version 63-21, along with the Senate 27-3.
The University is disappointed in the actions of the legislature, but believe that the decision of the Conference Committee to adhere to the Senate version is a better course of action than the House version. In this version, the funds will at the very least still have a positive impact on the University and help promote a program that deserves support.
The bill now passes to Governor Haslam to be signed into law or vetoed. | positive |

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) Read Less by: The Associated Press and Nexstar Media Wire Posted: Nov 23, 2020 / 02:29 PM EST Updated: Nov 23, 2020 / 02:29 PM EST SHARE TAMPA (AP) – About 1 million Americans a day packed airports and planes over the weekend even as coronavirus deaths surged across the U.S. and public health experts begged people to stay home and avoid big Thanksgiving gatherings. And the crowds are only expected to grow. Next Sunday is likely to be the busiest day of the holiday period. To be sure, the number of people flying for Thanksgiving is down by more than half from last year because of the rapidly worsening outbreak. However, the 3 million who went through U.S. airport checkpoints from Friday through Sunday marked the biggest crowds since mid-March, when the COVID-19 crisis took hold in the United States. Many travelers are unwilling to miss out on seeing family and are convinced they can do it safely. Also, many colleges have ended their in-person classes, propelling students to return home. Laurie Pearcy, director of administration for a Minneapolis law firm, is flying to New Orleans to attend her daughter’s bridal shower and have a small Thanksgiving dinner with her son. “I don’t want to unknowingly make anyone sick. But I also don’t want to miss this special event for my only daughter,” she said. Stephen Browning, a retired executive from Tucson, Arizona, will be flying to Seattle for Thanksgiving with his sister. The celebration usually has up to 30 people; this year only 10 are coming, and everyone was asked to get a coronavirus test. He doesn’t plan on removing his mask to eat or drink on the flight. “This is my first flight since December 2019, so yes, I have concerns,” he said. “But I think most airlines are acting responsibly now and enforcing masks on all flights.” Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans not to travel or spend the holiday with people outside their household. New cases of the virus in the U.S. have rocketed to all-time highs, averaging more than 170,000 per day, and deaths have soared to over 1,500 a day, the highest level since the spring. The virus is blamed for more than a quarter-million deaths in the U.S. and over 12 million confirmed infections. ‘All people’ should avoid travel on cruise ships, CDC warns “There is so much community transmission all over the United States that the chances of you encountering somebody that has COVID-19 is actually very, very high, whether it’s on an airplane, at the airport or at a rest area,” said Dr. Syra Madad, an infectious-disease epidemiologist for New York City hospitals. The nation’s top infectious-diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that people at airports “are going to get us into even more trouble than we’re in right now.” The message may be sinking in for some. Bookings in 2020 are down about 60% from where they were this time last year. Thanksgiving reservations were ticking upward in early October but fell back again as case numbers surged. Since airlines have made it easier to cancel tickets, there could be a rash of cancellations closer to the holiday, said John Elder, an adviser to airlines from Boston Consulting Group. In 2019, a record 26 million passengers and crew passed through U.S. airport screening in the 11-day period around Thanksgiving. This year, the industry trade group Airlines for America isn’t even providing a forecast because things are so uncertain. Because of tighter restrictions by many governments, air travel in other parts of the world has, in contrast, come to a near standstill. In Europe, traffic between countries was down by 83% in September from a year earlier, and that has only worsened since then because many countries imposed new limits. Josh Holman and his family were planning to fly to Lake Tahoe and spend Thanksgiving with his brother, who lives in San Francisco, and his parents, who live in North Dakota. But they scrapped those plans. “I see it as my civic duty not to spread this virus further,” said Holman, an assistant county prosecutor who lives outside Detroit. Alejandro Zuniga and his fiancee, Megan Muhs, who live in Costa Rica, thought briefly about flying to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving to see Muhs’ family but decided against it. They also nixed a trip to the U.S. in December. Man leaves $3,000 tip for a single beer as restaurant closes for virus “No part of a major international trip seems safe at this point,” Zuniga said. The pair plans to make video calls to family and stream the Detroit Lions football game on Thanksgiving Day. More people tend to drive than fly over Thanksgiving, but even car travel is expected to see a drop-off, according to AAA. Based on surveys in mid-October, the association was expecting 47.8 million people to drive to Thanksgiving gatherings, down 4% from last year. But AAA said the drop could prove to be even bigger, given the worsening crisis. Brad Carr and his wife, retirees who live in Griffin, Georgia, debated whether to drive 35 miles north to his son’s house for Thanksgiving and eat at a separate table on the porch. But after the CDC’s announcement, they decided to stay home. Carr’s son will deliver their meal “a la Uber Eats,” Carr said. Those who do gather should eat outdoors, wear masks, stay 6 feet apart and have one person serve the food, the CDC said. That’s the plan for Juliana Walter’s family. Walter, a student at the University of Tampa, plans to get a coronavirus test and then drive home to Maryland. Her parents have rented tents and outdoor heaters and will host up to 30 masked family members for Thanksgiving dinner. The holidays close out a bleak year for U.S. travel. Travel spending is expected to drop 45% from 2019 levels, to $617 billion, according to the U.S. Travel Association, a trade group. Canceling Thanksgiving trips is painful for many families. Kelly Kleber usually flies from Seattle to her hometown of Tucson, Arizona, to spend the holiday with her parents. They have a picnic to celebrate the life of her sister, who died on Thanksgiving in 2015. This year, Kleber is sending her parents a portrait of her sister and plans a video call on Thanksgiving. “It’s going to be hard being away from family this year,” she said.

We’re starting a new weekly feature today, and we’re very excited about it. In 1990, author Jon Atack published what is still one of the very best books on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, A Piece of Blue Sky. Atack now has a new edition of the book coming out, and it reminded us what an encyclopedic resource he is. So we had an idea. In the world of Scientology watching, we noticed that there seem to be some legends, myths, and contested facts that tend to get hashed and rehashed in books, articles, and especially on the Internet. With Atack’s help, we’re going to tackle these issues one by one, drawing on Jon’s deep knowledge and (who knew?) droll sense of humor.
This week, let’s start out with one of the most iconic photographs of L. Ron Hubbard and settle some facts about its background. Get your alligator clamps ready — it’s time to torture a tomato!
If you’ve spent any time learning about Scientology, you’ve no doubt run into some version of this image…
Jon, these photographs of L. Ron Hubbard doing something strange to a tomato are pretty famous. There are two slightly different versions that are widely available on the Internet, and they appear to be part of a larger photo session of Hubbard in the greenhouse of his English estate, Saint Hill Manor. But you pointed out to us that because the Daily Mail published one of them in 1968, that date is often ascribed to them, when by 1968 Hubbard was actually at sea and was no longer in England. (Even our man in Austin repeated that erroneous date in his new book, alas. See caption, p. 87.) Also, what the hell is he doing in these photos? Even Hubbard wouldn’t try to “audit” a tomato with an e-meter, would he? We’ve read that he was trying to impress some local reporters about his horticultural knowledge, which was his cover story for why he was in East Grinstead. Is that the truth?
ATACK: The tomato photos were taken in the greenhouse at Saint Hill Manor in the early years, between 1959 and the UK government’s decision that The Hub was an ‘undesirable alien’ (how true!). The Hub was determined to create ‘Public Relations Officer area control,’ so he gave an interview to a BBC gardening program and courted the local press. Sadly, the BBC didn’t keep the film. It would be instructive for young auditors to see how Hubbard processed a tomato. The Hub said he was irradiating plants to remedy the world’s food problems, pretty much the way Xenu irradiated satans — sorry, forgot the lisp, thetans — to solve population problems. Only this was nice radiation. He claimed that using this state-of-the-art scientific method — as developed by Lysenko, who left the USSR starving — he had created the ‘everbearing’ tomato. Had he consulted a gardening manual, he would have been embarrassed to find that tomatoes are everbearing, or perennial, by their very nature. But gardeners discard plants after a year because they provide less fruit in their second year. The same is true for many plants treated as annuals. As a veteran tomato grower, I can vouchsafe this information: the plant will stay alive through the winter.
Dr. Hubbard’s second scientific enquiry concerned the nervous systems of plants. The crocodile clips are jabbed in and then a nail is used to torture the already traumatised tomato to see if it felt pain (warning: some tomatoes were hurt in the making of this photo). The Hub asserted that when connected to the electropsychometer, you could measure these responses. When it’s quiet enough, you can hear the tomatoes scream. It’s almost enough to put you off your green salad. Curiously, however, the fruit of a plant is unlikely to have any nervous connection to the plant itself, being no more than a capsule for seeds. Something like hair or nails in humans. This is why fruitarians consider themselves the most ethical of vegans, because, as long as they take the seeds out, they aren’t killing anything. (Though, in History of Man, The Hub said people were vegetarians because they’re afraid of being eaten.) It is very likely that plants’ electrical conductivity does change, but calling that ‘pain’ is stretching it. When questioned about his attempt to fill a prescription for barbiturates, Dr. Hubbard said they were for his “horticultural purposes only.” So maybe he was trying to relieve them from the distress caused by his Frankenfood experiment. Hubbard had admitted to non-horticultural uses of barbiturates in an early lecture, saying that it is hard to come off phenobarbitol, and he knew, because he’d done it. But then, as one sage reviewer said of The Hub’s musical album, “You’re supposed to eat vegetables, not listen to them.”
THE BUNKER: Russell Miller, in Bare-Faced Messiah (a book Atack helped Miller research), says that it was an article about Hubbard using radiation to grow giant tomato plants in an August, 1959 edition of the East Grinstead Courier that prompted a feature in a December 18, 1959 edition of Garden News which carried the sensational headline, “PLANTS DO WORRY AND FEEL PAIN.” That headline then started a bit of a mad rush of reporters to Saint Hill…
It was not long before television and Fleet Street reporters were beating a path to Saint Hill Manor demanding to interview Hubbard about his novel theories. Always pleased to help the gentlemen of the press, he was memorably photographed looking compassionately at a tomato jabbed by probes attached to an E-meter — a picture that eventually found its way into Newsweek magazine, causing a good deal of harmless merriment at his expense.
So there’s our answer. In late 1959 or early 1960, Hubbard was beguiling reporters with his horticultural tall tales and was hoisted on his own petard when he posed for the infamous tomato photo.
BONUS MYTH: Jon, as long as we’re talking about photos, we hope you can clear something up. Last fall, the Los Angeles Times wrote something like the millionth article about Mitt Romney’s love for the Hubbard novel Battlefield Earth. (And perhaps one of the best results of the election is we may not have to hear that chestnut again.)
Anyway, it was the photo that ran with the story and its caption which caught our eye. Here’s the image:
And here’s the caption supplied by the LA Times: “Author L. Ron Hubbard poses for a portrait in a room with a typewriter, a camera and various books and photography equipment on Jan. 10, 1982, in New York City. (Michael Montfort / Michael Ochs Archives / Getty Imag)”
We really did a double-take when we saw that date. In 1980, L. Ron Hubbard went into hiding with Pat and Annie Broeker, and except for seeing a few people who later helped out at a ranch near Creston, California, Hubbard maintained complete seclusion from the outside world until his death in 1986. For the first couple of years of that seclusion, before they settled down in Creston, the Broekers traveled around with Hubbard from place to place, but we’d never heard that they had got as far east as New York. And in their secrecy, would Hubbard and the Broekers really allow him to be snapped by a well known photographer? (Montfort, who died in 2008, enjoyed some notoriety for photographing the poet Charles Bukowski, actor Klaus Kinski, and other musicians and artists.)
ATACK: It looks more like the Queens stay in ’73 with Jim Dincalci. The massive sebaceous cyst is evident (it looks as if it has been popped) on his forehead. Thinking I’d upset a former Hub aide with too much negative material, I asked him, “What do you most remember about Hubbard?” expecting one of those generally self-serving and bogus expressions of “compassion” by the great man. Instead, the former senior Sea Org executive said, “The huge lump on his head.” Being terrified of doctors (who were, of course, all trying to kill him), he just let this lump grow. It was airbrushed out of photos taken aboard ship (by Maud Castillo and others). He also let his teeth rot in his head, for the same reason. When the wonderful Cyril Vosper was stopped by cult surveyors — body routers — they would become starry eyed when he told them he’d known the Great OT. Once he’d got them ready, he’d say, “But he had the most dreadful bad breath, because of his rotten teeth.”
THE BUNKER: We took your advice and checked in with Jim Dincalci, who served as medical director on the yacht Apollo with Hubbard and then traveled with him to Queens in late 1972 when Hubbard became concerned that French officials were about to arrest him. For ten months, Hubbard and Dincalci and Hubbard’s bodyguard Paul Preston lived in an apartment in New York until Hubbard was convinced it was safe enough to go back to the boat in September, 1973.
DINCALCI: That is my photo taken by me of LRH in 1973 in Queens, New York. It was floating around the web after a television interview that Jon Atack set up behind the scenes. I think I let them use the photo but did not give up rights to it, but I am not sure. So the Montfort thing is a lie, unless in some way they were sold it some weird way. But yes, I can prove I took it because I have a similar one (with negative) in storage.
THE BUNKER: It looks like we have another myth busted. Jim’s 1973 photo somehow turned into one taken nine years later by Michael Montfort. Perhaps someone else will track down how that happened. Another shot taken by Jim in that Queens apartment can be seen here, with LRH and his trusty typewriter (and lump).
Next week: We take Newsweek (and many others) to task about Scientology’s beginnings.

NEWCASTLE soccer icon Ray Baartz believes Jason Culina will provide the Jets with the attacking thrust to challenge for the A-League title and has backed the club’s decision not to chase an overseas striker. Former Socceroo great Baartz is the chairman of the Jets football advisory board. Speaking at the launch of the season draw yesterday, Baartz gave the squad his seal of approval. ‘‘The football advisory board fully endorse the club’s decision not to proceed with an overseas marquee player,’’ he said. ‘‘We have total confidence in the players already on board. ‘‘We feel we will have a team Newcastle will be proud of, and a team that will be very competitive.’’ Management have come under fire since the announcement on Friday that they had canned plans to recruit a big name import. A proven striker was considered the final piece to the Jets puzzle. The Jets had the third-worst attack in the league last season with 29 goals, half the amount scored by champions Brisbane Roar. But Baartz was adamant Culina could be the difference. ‘‘My personal opinion was that one of the reasons we weren’t scoring goals last year was because we weren’t creating enough opportunities,’’ Baartz said. ‘‘With Jason’s inclusion this year, the team will play a lot more go-forward football, we will play a lot further up the park. ‘‘We know Jason’s ability and we feel those opportunities for the strikers will come.’’ Culina is recovering from knee surgery and hopes to resume running in the next fortnight. The Socceroos regular scored five goals and provided five assists in 18 games for Gold Coast United last season. The season before, his first in Australia after a decade in the Netherlands, he contributed three goals and 10 assists. The Jets, who open their campaign at home against Melbourne Heart, have been training for eight weeks and will have their first trial against Northern NSW State League club Hamilton Olympic at Darling St Oval next Wednesday night. Coach Branko Culina has been delighted with the progression of the squad and appealed to the fans to ‘‘give us a chance’’. ‘‘Back us and we will show you what we can do,’’ he said. ‘‘I am a little hurt when I hear negative remarks about our players and almost personal attacks before the season has even commenced.’’ | positive |
Egypt’s military forces have started a massive operation against armed extremists in northern Sinai Peninsula, reports in the Egyptian media say.
The operation dubbed ‘Desert Storm’ was launched by the Egyptian army in North Sinai Governorate on Saturday and will last for 48 hours, Al Ahram newspaper said citing security sources.
The army reported Sunday that at least 10 "militants" were killed during the operation, while around 20 others were arrested.
The military action aims to block extremists’ desert and mountain bases and end terrorist activity in the region, primarily in the northern and central Sinai.
Two of Egypt’s field armies, as well as the country’s Air Force and Navy are reportedly taking part in this large-scale operation.
The military are said to be blocking all the roads, bridges and tunnels leading from Northern Sinai to other provinces of Egypt.
The security forces maintain there are about 500 armed extremists in the area that may use the local civilians as human shield.
The security situation in North Sinai has deteriorated after the former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was ousted on July 3. The local insurgents that have been active ever since the popular uprising of January 2011 are said to have been joined by Islamist supporters that vowed to lead an armed fight against the authorities.
The Muslim Brotherhood has denied having a hand in the escalating violence in the region. However, one of the group’s leaders was quoted as saying that the insurgent attacks would end as soon as “the legitimate president” is freed from detention, according to RIA Novosti.
At least 23 members of the security forces and 10 civilians have been killed in the North Sinai city of Al-Arish by suspected Jihadist militants since Morsi’s ouster, according to Ahram Online.
Morsi ‘could have ordered Sinai operation 1.5 years ago’
Despite reports that the operation would last for approximately two days, the Egyptian Army is well aware of the fact that “they would be fighting a long war against the terrorists in Sinai, and most likely also in mainland Egypt,” Middle East analyst and counter-terrorism expert Walid Phares told RT.
Currently, the army is “making sure that the Jihadi forces won’t have an enclave” in North Sinai, which could turn it into a breakaway extremist-controlled region, Phares said.
According to information published by the Egyptian Army, “had the Morsi regime continued for a few more months…there would have been a declaration of an emirate of Northern Sinai…and that would be the equivalent of Waziristan in Pakistan, or Northern Mali,” the analyst explained.
While it is unclear if the extremists in the region have links to the Muslim Brotherhood, both the army and secular parties have criticized ousted president Morsi for what he “could have ordered the same Egyptian Army to go and do the same operation 1 ½ years ago, but he did not.”
Morsi’s government failed to do so, instead choosing to send a delegation to negotiate with Sinai extremists because Morsi’s right-wing ally, the Al-Nur Salafi party, had been “linked to these Jihadists” and “came from the same background,” according to Phares.

The three climbers had reached Liberty Cap on Liberty Ridge — one of the more technical climbs on the mountain — and were on their way down Thursday when they experienced bad weather that included 70 mph winds and heavy fog, Mount Rainier National Park spokesperson Patti Wold told NBC News.
The group decided to wait out the weather and made a camp at an elevation of a little more than 14,000 feet, then moved to a second spot in the shelter of a crevasse but realized they’d left a piece of equipment behind, probably at the site of the first camp, Wold said.
"Kyle decided to take a second and go back and get it. He never came back," she said.
The other climbers sent texts to family members that night saying the weather turned bad and Bufis was missing, and family members contacted the park and a search was launched, Wold said.
A helicopter crew spotted the body about 200 feet below the rim of Mount Rainier’s volcanic crater Saturday, not far from the camp, Wold said.
The body matched the description of Bufis, but identification will be made by the Pierce County Medical Examiner. There isn’t anything to indicate a fall, Wold said.
The two men Bufis was climbing with — Derek Gavelis and Mathew Wiech — are safe, the National Park Service said.
The men are experienced climbers, Wold said, but "the weather can change suddenly and drastically on the mountain."
Speaking in general about climbing safely on Mount Rainier and not suggesting the climbers did anything wrong, Wold said, “If you’re up there and get stuck in the cloud, just stop. Wait it out.”
The National Park Service said that a U.S. Army Reserve 214th Air Division Chinook helicopter, an Airlift Northwest helicopter and 39 park personnel had been involved in the search. | positive |
Reading Watchmen: Watchmen: Chapter IX - page 21 Reading Watchmen A year-long journey examining, analyzing, and discussing Alan Moore's & Dave Gibbons's seminal graphic novel, Watchmen, in order to better appreciate this groundbreaking book. Pages Home A Mission Statement & A Caveat Friday, September 21, 2012 Watchmen: Chapter IX - page 21 PAGE 21 Panel 3: Blake’s succinct remark here – “Only once.” – reinforces the understanding that he and Sally did have at least one intimate encounter long after his sexual assault of her. Panel 4: Here Moore deflects this suspicion with Laurie’s reading of Blake’s remark that he raped her mother “only once.” And note that the scotch Laurie throws in Blake’s face splashes into his right eye – the same eye upon which his blood splattered onto the smiley face button in Chapter I – and a drop of the scotch falls onto that same eye on his smiley face button, accentuating this visual motif of the blood-spattered smiley face button that runs throughout the whole book. Again we come to the end of the flashback scene with a broken vessel – in this instance, the broken vessel is Laurie, which splashes scotch instead of water this time – that transitions directly into Panel 5: and the tumbling bottle of Nostalgia perfume. Panel 7: Laurie’s scattering of her mother’s scrapbook clippings – news stories about the original Silk Spectre – can be viewed as Laurie running away from her history, trying vainly to be rid of something that lives inside of us and can never be excised.

Andy Weir and Drew Goddard have been enjoying the success of Fox’s “The Martian,” which has notched seven Oscar nominations (including best pic and screenplay) and $608 million at the box office. The writers of the novel and screenplay, respectively, have said they hope the book and movie inspire people to get more passionate about science. The scribes spoke to Variety about the relationship between author and adapter.
When did you two first talk? Was it when Drew signed on?
Drew Goddard: I think it was March or April of 2013. I signed on pretty quick. I got sent the book and read it many times over three days and said “I’m in.” Shortly after that I called Andy, mostly to tell him how much I love the book.
How often did you talk during the scriptwriting process?
DG: At first I said to Andy, “Let me tell you what I love about the book” and we had a couple general conversations about that. One of the challenges was what to cut. Andy, in one of our first conversations, laser-focused on a section in the back half that could be condensed and that was when I thought, “Alright, we’re on the same page.” At some point I told him I was going to have to go into a cave for a while and make hard decisions and I knew as a fellow writer he wasn’t going to want to listen to me second-guessing things that were very dear to him.
Andy Weir: Mostly our interactions while he was writing it were technical questions. He’s a very creative guy, he doesn’t need my help on any of that, but he was asking, “What about the math on this? Explain how this chemistry works.” He also had a bunch of battles with the studio and it’s amazing how important it seems when you’re in the middle of it and when you step back and look, you realize it wasn’t that huge of an issue.
DG: That’s true but it does seem in the moment, when you’re working on it in the trench, it does seem like everything.
AW: The big thing for me, and a battle that Drew won, was they didn’t like the fact that Mission Control was in Houston but the launch center is in Florida, which is how it is in the real world. They were like, “Let’s just have it all in Cape Canaveral.” I remember being like, “Please, Drew, for the love of God, give up on anything else but keep fighting on that.”
Andy, was there anything else from the novel that you wanted to include or thought could be condensed?
AW: The biggest point of agreement was the big chunk of the book that could be cut. It’s when Mark travels from the Hab to the Ares IV MAV. A lot of stuff happens in the book on that trip and Drew said they were probably going to montage that.
The one thing I was really sad didn’t make it into the movie was the Aquaman joke. There was a silly Aquaman joke that did make it into the promotional content but not the movie. The Aquaman joke was like my second favorite gag in the book.
DG: I think we probably overthought that one and if we could go back we’d probably put the joke in.
AW: No, no. Every now and then I think why the joke didn’t make it in and then I think of the context of where we were and I remembered you needed to introduce the running gag for the disco music.
DG: That was it. That was the challenge of the screenplay; every scene had to do four different things. We had to get the science in it, we had to get the humanity in it, you to explain what was going to happen to the audience and you have to set up the next scene. It becomes a zero-sum game of “I only have so many words per scene.”
Andy, was it difficult to let go of the project? And Drew, was it hard to take Andy’s story and do your own thing?
AW: At that point it was a very speculative project. We didn’t have Matt [Damon], we didn’t have Ridley [Scott], it was just Drew, who was originally planning to direct it himself, and it was so speculative that it didn’t really feel real. I didn’t feel like the stakes were very high. I would have given it a 1,000 to one odds that it would even get made.
DG: We talked about the odds a lot.
AW: Everything fell into place after the period where I would have been worrying about it. If things had gone differently, like, “OK, my book’s a bestseller and the studio wants to buy the rights outright and we’re definitely making this movie, we’ve got these people attached, it’s going to happen and Drew is writing the screenplay,” then I would have been nervous.
DG: That’s true. I hadn’t really thought about that, but we really benefited from the fact that we were such on the periphery of the studio. No one was really paying attention to us. Nobody cared. The book hadn’t come out in published form yet, it was still just an e-book and an audiobook. It was just a weird project we were working on.
The thing that is really hard about adaptation is that I try to only pick things I love because if it is something where you think, “Oh, that sounds like an interesting idea but I don’t love it,” then I can’t do my job well. What’s hard is you have to love the book and you have to break the book’s heart. I think I wring my hands more over protecting the book than Andy does. He has been so sweet and supportive about changing things and I’ve been saying, “I don’t want to change anything unless I have to because I love it so much.” I do know that the best way to make a mediocre movie is to just transcribe the book. They’re just two different things.
What were your reactions when you finally saw it on the big screen?
AW: I cried. Fox brought me here to watch it in a viewing room and most of the special effects weren’t in so it was people hanging on wires and green screens and stuff like that and I didn’t even care. That opening scene where it pans down on Mars and the title placard comes up and I thought, “OK, they really did make this. They were telling me they made it and they were sending me pictures from the set but here it is. All these characters I just s–t out of my brain are really here.” It was pretty emotional for me.
DG: I remember the first couple of cuts I saw, all I could see were my mistakes. We fixed them but at the time I thought I had ruined my own existence and all I could think was, “Oh my God, Andy is going to be so mad at me.”
I was sitting in on the third screening and I had this moment where I realized I wasn’t paying any more attention to the question of how I make the movie better and had just given myself over to the movie. It was at a test screening and the lights came up and Ridley and I glanced at each other and said, “No, it’s good.” Ridley went, “Let’s get out of here and have martinis.” | positive |

Bradley Manning Jailed Naked
The saga of accused Wikileaks conspirator Bradley Manning continues to get uglier, with the military acknowledging that he was forced to spend the day naked for, well, no apparent reason.

The saga of accused Wikileaks conspirator Bradley Manning continues to get uglier, with the military acknowledging that he was forced to spend the day naked for, well, no apparent reason.
Charlie Savage for NYT (“Soldier in Leaks Case Was Jailed Naked, Lawyer Says“):
A lawyer for Pfc. Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst accused of leaking secret government files to WikiLeaks, has complained that his client was stripped and left naked in his cell for seven hours on Wednesday. The conditions of Private Manning’s confinement at the Marine brig in Quantico, Va., have drawn criticism in recent months from supporters and his lawyer, David E. Coombs. The soldier’s clothing was returned to him Thursday morning, after he was required to stand naked outside his cell during an inspection, Mr. Coombs said in a posting on his Web site. “This type of degrading treatment is inexcusable and without justification,” Mr. Coombs wrote. “It is an embarrassment to our military justice system and should not be tolerated. Pfc. Manning has been told that the same thing will happen to him again tonight. No other detainee at the brig is forced to endure this type of isolation and humiliation.” First Lt. Brian Villiard, a Marine spokesman, said a brig duty supervisor had ordered Private Manning’s clothing taken from him. He said that the step was “not punitive” and that it was in accordance with brig rules, but he said that he was not allowed to say more. “It would be inappropriate for me to explain it,” Lieutenant Villiard said. “I can confirm that it did happen, but I can’t explain it to you without violating the detainee’s privacy.” Private Manning is being held as a maximum security detainee under a special set of restrictions intended to prevent self-injury, even though supporters say there is no evidence that he is suicidal. During an appearance on MSNBC earlier on Thursday, Geoffrey Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, attributed the general conditions of Private Manning’s confinement to “the seriousness of the charges he’s facing, the potential length of sentence, the national security implications” and to protect him from potential harm. Also, earlier on Thursday, one of Private Manning’s friends, David House, said in a conference call with reporters that he had visited the soldier the previous weekend and that his mental condition was severely deteriorating as a result of being confined to his cell 23 hours a day, with one hour to exercise in an empty room, and largely isolated from human contact. But Mr. House said that Private Manning did not seem suicidal and contended that he was being pressured to cooperate.
Coombs’ blog post is here. He’s obviously a biased source–but the Pentagon has corroborated the key elements.
The “suicide watch” argument has long since worn thin. And the fact that he’s been held in solitary confinement for months on end, a condition that many of us contend amounts to torture, seems to be the chief rationale for the suicide watch.
This treatment would be an international scandal if done to an accused terrorist at Gitmo or to a convicted criminal on death row. Manning was subjected to it for months before any charges were filed against him.
I’m in no way sympathetic to Manning, much less Julian Assange and the Wikileaks gang. But this treatment by the American government is simply shameful. And both admitting to doing it but refusing to explain why–under claim of concern for Manning’s privacy no less–should embarrass anyone wearing the uniform of a United States Marine.
UPDATE: Via Glenn Greenwald I see that Savage has a follow-up (“Soldier in Leaks Case Will Be Made to Sleep Naked Nightly“):
Pfc. Bradley E. Manning, the Army intelligence analyst accused of leaking government files to WikiLeaks, will be stripped of his clothing every night as a “precautionary measure” to prevent him from injuring himself, an official at the Marine brig at Quantico, Va., said on Friday. Private Manning will also be required to stand outside his cell naked during a morning inspection, after which his clothing will be returned to him, said a Marine spokesman, First Lt. Brian Villiard. “Because of recent circumstances, the underwear was taken away from him as a precaution to ensure that he did not injure himself,” Lieutenant Villiard said. “The brig commander has a duty and responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of the detainees and to make sure that they are able to stand trial.” Private Manning is a maximum-security detainee under “prevention of injury watch,” a special set of restrictions — a step his supporters, who contend that he is not suicidal, have said is unjustified. He has not been elevated to the more restrictive “suicide watch” conditions. Lieutenant Villiard said the new rule on clothing, which would continue indefinitely, had been imposed by the brig commander, Chief Warrant Officer Denise Barnes. He said that he was not allowed to explain what prompted it “because to discuss the details would be a violation of Manning’s privacy.”
I’d hate to see what additional restrictions are applied under full-blown suicide watch, if possession of undergarments is deemed too risky in the lower status. And, again, the idea that they’re simultaneously concerned with Manning’s privacy and making him spend the night naked does not compute.
I completely agree with Mark Kleiman here:
This is a total disgrace. It shouldn’t be happening in this country. You can’t be unaware of this, Mr. President. Silence gives consent.
Hell, Obama promised to close Gitmo because he was embarrassed that we were doing this kind of thing to accused terrorists. But he’s allowing it to happen to an American soldier under his command? | positive |

Professional home window cleaning can save you from tedious and time-consuming washing, climbing heights, and risking your health. However, it won’t keep you from doing regular touch-ups.After the professionals have left your home, you need to start maintaining the windows. As one of the most respectable window companies in NY, we would like to share some advice to help you enjoy cleaning windows all year long. Maintain The Screens Window screens are excellent dirt and dust collectors. On one hand, they do a good job not letting large pieces of dust and annoying insects into your home. On the other hand, when the weather is rainy or windy, the dirt from the screens sticks to the glass. As a result, you “enjoy” unattractive streaks.If the screens don’t appear too dirty, use a vacuum cleaner to remove all the loose debris. If that doesn’t make a difference, remove the screens and wash them in a tub. Wait for the screens to dry before installing them back. Some window cleaning contracts include screen maintenance. Clean TheWindowsills Many people clean the windowsills at home but forget about the outdoor part. The surface accumulates all types of dirt and debris. Wind and rain transfer these contaminants to your glass, making it look less appealing. Every time you dust your indoor windowsill, don’t forget about wiping the outdoor part with a wet cloth. Get The Right Tools If you can’t wait until the professional window cleaners come, you can do some home window touchups on your own. However, soapy water and a rag are far from the only tools you need. A squeegee is a must-have instrument for any window cleaner, be it an amateur or a professional.Try to avoid spraying too many chemicals on your windows. If you clean the glass on a regular basis, it can be done with pure water. Vacuum The Tracks Window tracks are often overlooked. Meanwhile, they collect as much dirt, debris, cobwebs, and such as the screens and windowsills. Whenever you take care of your screens, vacuum the tracks. If vacuuming doesn’t help, wash them with a wet rag. Don’t Use Furniture To Reach Heights If you can’t reach the tough spots by standing on your toes, call a professional. Using chairs, tables, and even ladders is downright dangerous. A clean window isn’t worth a month in a cast.

A Conversation with Mardell | Times & Seasons Search for: Times & Seasons Main menu Skip to content Home About Authors Comment Policy Site Archives Law A Conversation with Mardell by Kaimi Wenger • November 21, 2003 • Comments Off on A Conversation with Mardell My wife (without the impediment of legal training) was reading Nate’s post regarding whether church members might be disciplined for suing the church and immediately suggested a line of reasoning that cuts to the chase: Mardell: Let’s go back to the temple recommend interview questions. “Have you sued a church member lately?” is not one of them! Me: Is that following and obeying the leaders, though? Mardell: It has nothing to do with the doctrine of the church — it has everything to do with the leg that you broke!

DANA POINT – With soaring temperatures predicted for the weekend, the city’s new open-air trolleys might be the ticket to cool off on the way to Doheny State Beach, the Dana Point Harbor or new eateries in the Lantern District.
The free trolleys roll out at noon today to carry passengers from Capistrano County Beach at the city’s south end to the Ritz-Carlton and Monarch Beach resorts in the north, where they connect with Laguna Beach trolleys.
Other stops include the Lantern District, Strand Beach, Doheny State Beach, Pacific Coast Highway timeshares and Doheny Village.
Merchants and city officials are optimistic that the four new orange-and-blue trolleys will help create a summer vibe and give Dana Point a boost as a tourist destination like its neighbor Laguna Beach, where trolleys have helped ease traffic congestion and created a convenient way for visitors to experience the town.
“For years, Laguna Beach’s trolley has made it easy for our hotel guests to spend money outside of Dana Point,” said Heather Johnston, executive director of the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce. “Our businesses are happy the extended Dana Point trolley will make it easier for hotel staff to recommend shops and restaurants in town.”
The trolleys will run every day at 15-minute intervals. They will connect with a new harbor shuttle that provides access to shops, Baby Beach and the Ocean Institute.
This is the city’s first experience with real trolleys. Last year, small shuttles – with wraps designed to resemble classic woodie wagons – ran on weekends. The Orange County Transportation Authority Project V grant-funded service, requiring 10 riders an hour on each bus, was so successful that the Dana Point City Council opted for seven-day service this summer.
The city added more stops, such as the Dana Point Library and stops in some of the inland communities.
To make sure the new trolleys kick off with a bang, about 20 restaurants citywide will offer deals today. With the purchase of a $15 mug, riders can pop on and off the trolleys from noon to 10 p.m. and see what the restaurants have to offer. Mugs are available at Luxe, Coffee Importers, Brio and Boneyard Beach Cafe.
“Last year it was packed and there was standing room only,” said Cindy Monroe, who owns Luxe Restaurant and Martini Bar on Del Prado Avenue in the Lantern District. “We’re looking at other trolley events to maximize ridership this summer and promoting businesses during the off-peak times throughout town.”
Dana Point is known as the West Coast’s whale-watching capital, and word about the city has spread worldwide, Johnston said. Local resorts make use of the city’s reputation to draw tourists to the harbor and popular surf destinations.
Doheny State Beach draws nearly 5 million visitors a year and nearly 100,000 campers at its campground between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
But at night, Laguna Beach has been the go-to destination for resort concierges. Dana Point merchants say it’s time some of the resort guests check out what Dana Point has to offer.
Recently, Dana Point’s four resorts – Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, Doubletree Suites by Hilton Hotel Doheny Beach, Monarch Beach Resort and the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel – helped launch Visit Dana Point.
The nonprofit destination marketing group intends to increase the local tourism industry through visitor attractions such as the trolleys, lodging offerings, and meetings and group initiatives.
“We are very excited to be able to offer our guests trolley service to both Laguna Beach and Dana Point,” said Shannon Gilbert, director of sales and marketing for the Ritz-Carlton.
“Having both services pick up and drop off guests right in front of the resort is convenient, and the feedback we have received from our guests has been extremely positive.”
Rich Haydon, who oversees Doheny State Beach, said the daily trolley gives those who stay at Doheny a way to get around town without having to pack up their cars and leave the campground.
“They’ll be able to take the trolley to the harbor and into the downtown,” he said. “It will also let them continue all the way to Laguna Beach and check out the art festival and restaurants.”

Brew a mug of Prism and find out. This lot is brought to us via Prisma Coffee in Guatemala from the Juarez family farm, Guatalón, and it’s packed with dynamic notes of caramel, brown sugar, lemon curd, and hazelnut. Guatalón is part of the El Guatalón Estates, integrated by five coffee plots: La Loma, El Cuje, La Buganvilia, El Pajuil, and Guatalón. The first one belongs to Jalapa department and the others are located in Santa Rosa department, in the municipality of Santa Rosa de Lima. Altogether it represents 75 hectares in total, 40% of which is coffee, and 60% is forest. The paternal grandfather, Daniel Juarez (1883-1976), established the first commercial coffee plantation in this region in 1910 in the village of Belén, Santa Rosa de Lima, using the genetic materials Typica and Mundo Novo. In the next generation only their father, Juan Alberto Juarez Reyes (1929-2012), took the decision to grow coffee commercially, establishing his plantation in El Cuje plot by the mid-70s, in an area of 4 hectares. On this location, he planted the varieties Pache San Ramon and Catuai. Guillermo has done a terrific job making the farm sustainable with a great balance between production and quality. Willy, Guillermo’s son has become a valuable addition to the farm as an agricultural enterprise, He has put a lot of effort on the organization of the lots, traceability, and quality. Willy is eager now to experiment with new processes, but we selected this washed lot, as we felt it represented some of the best we’d tasted from Guatemala this year. After the coffee underwent a washed process, removing and washing away the skin and mucilage from the outside of the coffee beans with the help of water, it was dried on patios.

With this obligation comes responsibilities and commitments. At Stone Creek Coffee, we are committed to keeping those commitments. In line with this, this past year, we became a benefit corporation with the state of Wisconsin by amending our articles of incorporation in order to further promote and uphold this commitment. As a benefit corporation, we are required to share a Benefit Report at the end of each fiscal year that outlines the work we have done, as well as any potential drawbacks or challenges we have faced, to work towards the specific benefits we have committed to serve. Though 2020 was full of challenges as we all lived and worked through an unprecedented time, we are humbled by the progress we made and continue to make towards creating benefit for our community, the environment, and beyond. We are profoundly moved by the continued work and assistance of our stakeholders to achieve these goals, as well as to create new ones. We look forward to the work that lies ahead of us in 2021. Together, we are better. On we Go. - Eric Resch, Benefit Director, Managing Director and Co-owner Introduction Stone Creek Coffee officially became a benefit corporation with the State of Wisconsin on June 5th, 2020. A benefit corporation is a legal entity that formally commits to serving general and specific benefit(s) to the public and the environment by writing social and environmental values into their articles of incorporation. At the end of each fiscal year, benefit corporations publish an annual report that outlines what they have done to serve these benefits, as well as any challenges we have faced in the course of doing so. Specific Benefit Purposes in Our Bylaws The purposes for which Stone Creek Coffee’s benefit corporation are formed are as follows: To create a general public benefit. To create the specific public benefits of: Providing individuals or communities with beneficial products or services. Preserving the environment. To do any and all other lawful activities or business permitted under the laws of the United States, Wisconsin, or any other state, territory, or nation. Major accomplishments: Became a benefit corporation with the State of Wisconsin. Officially kicked off our ‘Brewing Change’ initiative, which speaks directly to our commitments to provide stakeholders with beneficial products or services and to preserve the environment. Implemented formal policies across the company that benefit our stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, community) and the environment. These policies are listed more specifically in the section, Stone Creek Coffee’s Efforts to Create Public Benefit. Completed the B Impact Assessment as our third-party standard to assess our performance to our commitments, as well as to guide our work. The B Impact Assessment is a free, comprehensive, and transparent tool for assessing overall corporate social and environmental performance. Challenges: By and large, the COVID-19 pandemic was a challenge for us as a company and as individuals. However, rather than allowing the pandemic to become a hindrance to our mission to create benefit, we used this difficult time as an opportunity to pivot our business, as well as take on more projects that seek to benefit our stakeholders, the community, and the environment, which is clearly outlined in the following sections. Stone Creek Coffee’s Efforts to Create Public Benefit: Governance We updated our Articles of Incorporation with the State of WI and officially became a benefit corporation. Being a Benefit Corporation formally demonstrates our commitment to the public and the environment. Workers Drafted and shared formal SCC Breastfeeding Policy to support lactating employees across teams, no matter their position, location, or employment status. (Officially added to the Employee Handbook in 2021.) Maintained insurance costs for hourly employees, keeping in line with our commitment to make healthcare accessible for our employees. Formed our Employee Council. This group consists of one representative from each of our cafes, bakery, and production teams at Stone Creek Coffee. This representative is nominated by their team to meet with Eric, Managing Director and Co-Owner, every other month to discuss items that can be improved within their work spaces or the company as a whole as it relates to day-to-day operations. Specific work items generated through the Employee Council include but are not limited to: requesting mental health days as an added benefit, exploring expression of personalities through more flexible dress code and music choice in work spaces, updating shift drink benefits to include non-dairy products, increasing our vegan and gluten-friendly food menu, greater access to coffee equipment for cafe teams, such as a third espresso grinder, improvements to employee training and access to online HR and benefits tools, and added opportunities to celebrate employees, such as on their birthday. Employees paid in full during COVID-19 shutdown in order to guarantee wage security. Social Justice Donation Matching: Over the course of Summer of 2020 and in line with Stone Creek Coffee’s social obligation to our community, all employee donations made to social justice organizations were matched by Stone Creek Coffee. Employees were encouraged to make donations to local social justice organizations making change in our community such as Wisconsin Voices and MKE LGBT Community Center. Over the course of the summer, 21 employees donated $5,077.46 to different social justice organizations across Milwaukee and the US that were matched by Stone Creek Coffee. Together, with our employees, we have donated $10,154.92. Increased amount of paid sick time for all employees (16 hours/year) Community Donated food and beverage items to employees during COVID-19 shut-down. Supplier Screening Topics implemented across the company. This premade list of screening topics serves to better screen our potential suppliers to ensure that they do things such as: follow all laws, possess good governance practices, gives preference to local suppliers, and more. Supplier Code of Conduct implemented across the company. This document outlines how we expect our partners and suppliers to conduct themselves and their business in an ethical, legal, and socially responsible manner including, but not limited to, their commitment to the environment, their employees, and the community. We made a formal commitment to our local community and hiring. In doing so, we have committed to serving our local community by making a commitment to serve local customers, hire locally, and choose local suppliers when possible. We made available a list of our significant suppliers on our website. Environment We began monitoring and recording our energy use via a master spreadsheet. We began monitoring and recording our waste production via a master spreadsheet. We made the switch to renewable, wind-powered electrical energy at all of our facilities. We implemented a Hazardous Waste Disposal Policy across the company. We implemented an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy. We implemented a Travel Policy Addendum which limits corporate travel. We made a formal policy statement about our commitment to the environment. Customers COVID-19 Shut-down Donations: To keep all of our employees and customers safe, we shut down our cafes in mid-March due to the spread of Coronavirus. Since we weren’t going to be serving customers and our cafes held perishable products, we donated them to local food pantries and shelters around Milwaukee and Lake Country. Donations included hundreds of gallons of milk, fresh bakery items, bottled beverages, and more. Social Justice Donations: In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement happening across our country and the tragic murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless other innocent people around our country, Stone Creek Coffee donated $2,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative and Radio Milwaukee and their ‘Community Stories’ initiative to help them tell our history. 10,000 Thank You’s for Teachers and Staff: The 2020 school year looked different for many of us. We understand the challenges that regularly come with teaching, but 2020 came along with more barriers to overcome. To show our appreciation for those members of our community, we committed to make this donation. By the end of 2020, we donated 5,724 pounds, although this project is continuing into 2021 until it is seen through completion. As of March 4th, 2021, we have donated 6,726lbs. 1,000 Pounds of Coffee: Stone Creek Coffee partnered with local food banks in March and April 2020 to donate 1,000 pounds of coffee to those in need in our community. In addition, Stone Creek Coffee highlighted community resources and food banks on our social media platforms to spread awareness of assistance available to those in need and to potential volunteers that were willing to help out. 1,000 pounds of coffee was donated to five Milwaukee area food banks including Hunger Task Force and UW-Milwaukee Food Center and Pantry. Neighbor Loaves: Stone Creek Coffee utilized its unused oven time and our many talented bakers to give back to our community via the Neighbor Loaves program. By purchasing Neighbor Loaves, freshly baked bread was donated directly to the Riverwest Food Pantry. We partnered with the Artisan Grain Collaborative, Meadowlark Organics, and Lonesome Stone Milling to make this program happen. We sold, baked, and donated 711 loaves of bread for the Riverwest Food Pantry. In 2021, we are continuing and expanding this project to a “Buy a Loaf, Give a Loaf” program in our cafes. Community Fridge Milwaukee: Stone Creek believes that a cup of coffee has the power to heal. In this spirit, we are now supporting the Milwaukee Community Fridge. Each month, a donation of 30, 2.25oz fractional packs of coffee is donated to the Community Fridge. This is an ongoing project. Community Coffee Donation Boxes: Stone Creek Coffee takes pride in supporting organizations that make our community a better place to live, work, and play. Our goal is to extend deeper within communities in which we operate, by partnering with and supporting organizations that share our values and goals. Stone Creek Coffee offers donations of brewed coffee and gift boxes for raffles. We do not make cash donations unless we are closely involved with an organization. Groups that take priority are non-profit 501c3 organizations, local schools, youth organizations, and businesses we regularly work with. Stone Creek donates a minimum of 9 gift boxes (valued at $40) each month. Bake the Vote: Bake the Vote is an international bake sale effort under the Bakers Against Racism banner to raise money for organizations working for fair elections. Our Bakery team made and donated pastries to this citywide bake sale, and proceeds from the sale were donated to Wisconsin Voices, an organization “supporting creative ways to mobilize and empower people across the state.” Our Bakery team made 100 fruit galettes that were donated. Love your Parks: To support Milwaukee County Parks and their ‘Love Your Parks’ campaign, Stone Creek Coffee teamed up with our friends at Milwaukee County Parks to create a half pound bag of coffee called Love Your Parks. $2 of every purchase of this short run coffee was donated to Milwaukee County Parks. We sold 1,706 bags of Love Your Parks and were able to donate $3,413 to the Milwaukee Parks Department as part of this Brewing Change collaboration. Our goal was to sell 500 bags of Love Your Parks coffee and donate over $1,000 to our County Park system, but with our customers’ support, we surpassed that goal. Rally for Ally: For each half-pound of the short-run coffee Rally for Ally sold, Stone Creek would make a donation to the Alyssa Anna Pape Endowment Fund. We were able to donate $956 to this fund, which helps support the Herma Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Participated in Dressember: Human trafficking is a global problem, which doesn’t exclude Milwaukee. Dressember is now a global event where you commit to wearing a dress or tie everyday in the month of December. For every pound of coffee sold on December 4th, 2020, Stone Creek donated $1. In total, we raised awareness for human trafficking as well as donated $397 to the Dressember movement. We look forward to continuing to benefit those around us in 2021! x x x x x Login Username or email address * Password * Remember me Log in Lost your password?

BBC News education reporter
The call for a later start has been rejected by the government Children should not start formal learning until they are six, a review of primary education in England says. Instead the kind of play-based learning featured in nurseries and reception classes should go on for another year, the Cambridge Primary Review says. There is no evidence that an early introduction to formal learning has any benefit, the review says, but there are suggestions it can do some harm. Ministers say a starting age of six would be completely counter-productive. Most children start primary school in England aged four, and a large proportion are taking advantage of free, part-time pre-school places in local schools and privately-run nurseries from the age of three. Too much too young? The kind of learning that goes on there follows the government's "Early Years Foundation Stage", which currently runs to the age of five and is a play-based curriculum which includes some early literacy and numeracy goals. COMPULSORY SCHOOL AGE Five years old: England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, Malta, the Netherlands Six years old: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark (6-7), France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Irish Republic, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden (6-7) Seven years old: Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania
Source: Eurydice Continuing this informal but structured learning for a year or so would bring children in England in line with many European countries, where school starts at six or even seven, and standards are often higher. A similar step has already been taken in Wales and Northern Ireland where a play-focussed curriculum has been extended to the end of Key Stage 1, when children are aged seven. But Scotland follows the English model. "This would give sufficient time for children to establish positive attitudes to learning and begin to develop the language and study skills which are essential to their later progress," says the review, which is based on six years of academic work. It stops short of calling for the age of compulsory schooling to be put back to age six, but does call for an open debate on the subject. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. However, it adds, that the issue is less about where children learn than what they learn. Dame Gillian Pugh, who co-authored the review, said play-based learning was not a "wishy-washy, 'just let them get on with it' thing". "It's a balance between children-initiated and adult-initiated learning," she said. 'Social disadvantage' She said four and five-year-olds tended to be at a stage where they were just "tuning in" to learning and that they could be "turned off" if they were made to follow too formal a curriculum, too early on. HAVE YOUR SAY Sometimes I think people are more interested in the childminding aspects of primary schools and nurseries than whether or not they are having any actual benefit Lee Brown, Thornhill This would be of particular benefit to children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with speech and language delays, she added. But she argued it would not hold back brighter children who were ready to begin basic numeracy and literacy in reception classes. The review also notes that there are downward pressures to get children in reception year ready for the early years of school and the tests that follow. It also calls for free part-time nursery provision to be offered to two-year-olds in areas of social disadvantage and for children with particular needs. 'Pillars of stability' This would help them get the most out of school and hopefully close the achievement gap, it says. The authors also call for national assessment tests, known as Sats, to be abandoned, saying their high-stakes nature, being linked to league tables, encourages a too-narrow focus on literacy and numeracy. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Instead, children should be assessed on the broad range of subjects throughout primary school and at its end, but these assessments should be used to monitor children's progress rather than hold teachers accountable. Welsh schoolchildren no longer sit Sats at 7, 11 and 14, nor are school league tables used there any more. The review team also called for a major review of the way schools are staffed, arguing that there is a case for using more specialist teachers alongside the traditional class teacher. But they also said primary schools were "pillars of stability" that were highly valued by parents and pivotal to communities. If you are the minister, whether or not you believe in both localism and light-touch regulation, it is you that can be horribly exposed when things go wrong

Read Mark's thoughts in full 'Counter-productive' England's schools minister Vernon Coaker said the government was already reforming primary education to make the curriculum less prescriptive and free it up for teachers. He added: "A school starting age of six would be completely counter-productive - we want to make sure children are playing and learning from an early age and to give parents the choice for their child to start in the September following their fourth birthday. "Our expert group on assessment said it would be a backward step to scrap English and maths tests at 11 and we are piloting a School Report Card, which will give parents a far broader picture of how schools are doing." Christine Blower, general secretary of the NUT, said: "All the evidence shows that proper, in-depth early years education provided by qualified teachers gives the best possible start to children's schooling." We are asking whether children should begin formal lessons at six. To add your opinion and read others click here. Here are some of your experiences of education from around the world. As a teacher I heartily agree with the findings and hope that various systems both in the UK and here in Australia will raise the enrolment age to six - particularly for boys. However, it is precisely those who cannot afford to stay home to care for children any longer than necessary who need this advice. The children of economically disadvantaged families would benefit most from staying home or being in a childcare environment longer to wait for school readiness. Someone needs to act!
Ghaynes, Sydney, Australia I moved to Sweden a few years ago and am now preparing to send my child to school over here. Formal lessons do not start here until six/seven-years-old - the early years are in government-run reception kindergartens. These give the kids a wide choice of activities and start to introduce them to a structured learning method - but without the formal aspects that the UK introduces. All I can say is that I am very impressed and I don't see any areas where the later start counts against the child in the long run.
Mark, Sweden Here in Germany, children start school at the age of six and they celebrate day one in style with family and friends coming to wish them well. They get an Einsatztüte (large cone full of goodies for school). It is a real rite of passage. However, many more mothers stay at home to look after the children and give up careers for longer. Children remain "babyish", unable to read, and lack the discipline that they are taught in the UK from age four. Up to five years is said to be the best learning time too!!
Susan Turner, Bremen, Germany In Cyprus the children start at age six and they have pre-school kindergarten. They start at 0730 and finish at 1330. Many from our village attend universities around the world, so their education appears to be unaffected.
GJS, Paphos, Cyprus I have two children aged 17 and seven. We moved to France four years ago, so I have had two children going through different systems for their early years learning. The oldest had a UK early school education and has constantly struggled with reading, spelling and maths - she started at four. My son did a term in the UK at four and was straight away being made to read and write, and was uninterested. Since moving to France, he participated in their early school system of pen control, learning through play, and at six he started to learn to read.
Claire Lang, Pontivy, France I went through the English schooling system but my son has had the Dutch system that begins at six with formal lessons. Between the ages of four and six it was learning through play. The children don't even realise they are learning. Social skills are a lot better for children here, they learn to share and help. His reading and writing skills at eight are the same as his cousin's in England.
G. van der Velden, Heesch, Netherlands In Italy, formal schooling begins at six. However, most kids go to 'scuola materna' (pre-school) from the age of three, which teaches them social skills, such as playing and eating together. This is fundamental to classroom behaviour later on. The key issue is how much effort parents put into teaching their kids to read. It's no good plonking them in front of the TV in the forlorn hope that something will "sink in".
Neil Probert, Cernusco Sul Naviglio, Italy Here in Finland, the norm is for kids to start school at seven. It is optional to go to kindergarten before that, and to pre-school at six (one day a week at kindergarten where the child gets used to a school environment). The benefits are plainly visible - Finland has one of the lowest illiteracy rates in the world.
Steve, Turku, Finland I lived in Albania from 1997 to 2005. There children began school at the age of seven on average. By 15 they were ahead of our children here at that age. They would go school from 0800 until 1300. Then they would have several hours homework. They did not have the books or facilities we have here, often no electricity and no heating in the winter. Their system let them down when they reached later high school years. But I understand it is improving now. So starting at six would not be a problem.
Pete Hodge, Upholland, UK My three-year-old daughter has just started full-time school here in Spain and her books for her first year included maths, science, English (yes the Spanish start a second language early) and reading etc. There is nothing wrong with teaching children at an early age. My eldest is 11 and her class learn English and French. Yet another example of trying to save money somewhere at the expense of a child's education while other countries prefer to invest in their future.
James, Spain Children in India begin schooling at three! Or even earlier. Convent education starts early. We have pre-nursery, nursery, KG-I and KG-II before the child is admitted to class-1. A British legacy!
Nayan Pani, New Delhi, India I have also experienced life from the other side. I now live abroad, my kid started at six, though she went to many playschools. She does ok but levels seem behind where I was at 10. With today's culture I believe it's best not to ram info down kids' throats till they are a bit older. I also think that, starting later, they finish later and once half an ounce of common sense is observed, students will realise they won't get anywhere unless they are educated and will want to continue education.
Jules Fraser, Philippines We moved to Canada eight years ago and children here start formal schooling at the age of six. We have to say it makes for a much happier child. They seem to learn better social skills whilst playing in a more relaxed environment and learn to get on better with their peers especially those of the opposite gender - that is what we saw with both of our kids.
Carl Machin, Calgary, Canada As a temporary resident of the US my six-year-old has just started kindergarten. I desperately wish we were back home so his formal education could have begun earlier. We paid for pre-school which was "learn by play". We were all frustrated by the lack of progress. Even working with him at home there was no school reinforcement. On the other hand, my soon-to-be eight-year-old who went to nursery school in England was reading and writing by the age of four and is considered a high flier here.

Ancient Root in The Valheim Mistlands (Guide) - BSG Skip to content No results About Contact Privacy Policy Home Games Valheim Cryofall Project Zomboid RimWorld Stardew Valley 7 Days To Die Kenshi Mount & Blade 2 Divinity Info Contact Privacy Policy About Search Menu Ancient Root in The Valheim Mistlands (Guide) James Osmond April 14, 2022 Games, Valheim Valheim’s massively successful early access survival game will feature Mistlands as one of its biomes. Players can find this biome even though it is not yet fully implemented into the game by traveling far enough away from the spawn point. You can find some interesting things in the mistlands, including an ancient root. Here’s more about it. What are Ancient Roots? With the Mistlands update for Valheim, ancient roots appear to be one of the new types of trees you will be able to explore and hopefully cut down. The mistlands biome update will introduce a new forsaken boss, new enemies, and materials to the game this year. Now, if the player decides to head there, they will find some old bones that cannot be interacted with, as well as tall trees and static spiderwebs. A player will see the word ‘Ancient Root’ when facing one of the giant roots rising from the ground. There will be an opportunity for the player to interact with it in the future. This is expected to allow the player to earn himself a new type of wood when he cuts down these roots. There are similarities in both name and shape between the roots and ancient trees that grow in the swamp. Instead of ancient bark, perhaps the player will receive ancient wood from cutting down ancient roots?. And, assuming this is true, ancient wood would be the fifth type of wood that can be used by the player in Valheim. Harvesting Ancient Roots in Valheim In Valheim, it is currently impossible to cut ancient roots. No matter how powerful the player’s tools are, he or she cannot crack the ancient root. But, it appears that ancient root’s full functionality will be saved for the biome’s full release. Since players are already able to access another unfinished biome, the Ashlands, this could be a good thing. After that, you’ll harvest flametal ore. Once melted, you’ll obtain flametal. If you are planning to cut down ancient roots, a powerful axe is expected to be required. At least an iron-rated one. But the developers could even turn it into black metal if they want to make it difficult to access. We believe that an axe of iron level will be sufficient since bronze can chop down every tree in the game. Final Words You can check back here to find out how to get the update, or to find another method of cutting down ancient roots after the update is released.

Moldova said on Thursday it would bar its officials from visiting Russia because they were being subjected to "humiliating" abuse and harassment by some members of Moscow's security apparatus.
The government of the small ex-Soviet republic said in a statement it believed the abuse was revenge for an investigation of what it said was a $22 billion scheme to launder Russian money through Moldova's financial system.
The spat has erupted at a delicate time, as Moldova's newly-elected president is looking to pull his country closer to Moscow while its staunchly pro-Western government seeks closer ties with and eventual membership of the European Union.
A reaction to treatment from Russia
Moldovan lawmakers, government officials and intelligence services "are being abusively stopped on entry to the Russian Federation, interrogated and treated in a humiliating manner by representatives of a Russian special/intelligence service," the government statement said.
Russia's security services and foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Moldova's accusations.
“Until a solution is found to this issue, Moldovan officials are asked to abstain from visits to the Russian Federation,” the Moldovan statement said.
Authorities in Chisinau say Russian money has been laundered through a Moldovan bank with the collusion of Moldovan judges and some central bank officials. Fourteen judges and a prominent Moldovan businessman have been arrested.
President denounces move
Moldova, Europe's poorest country, borders EU member Romania, with which it has close linguistic and cultural ties, but remains heavily reliant on Russian energy supplies.
Relations with Moscow soured after Moldova signed a political and trade pact with the EU in 2014, prompting Russia to slap a retaliatory ban on Moldovan produce.
President Igor Dodon, who travels to Russia next week, denounced the move on Thursday to stop Moldovan officials from traveling as “abnormal” and said it would hurt efforts to build better relations with Moscow.
Requests ignored
In its statement, the government said one Moldovan interior ministry official had been stopped 35 times while entering and exiting Russian territory at a Moscow airport.
It also accused Russian security officials of spreading false information about high-ranking Moldovans as a ruse to get them put onto international watch lists.
The Moldovan government said the Russian authorities had refused to co-operate with its money-laundering investigation and had ignored official requests for help. | positive |

Québec Ombudsman's report on parents' financial contribution towards the placement of their child under government charge News provided by Protecteur du citoyen Mar 25, 2013, 10:15 ET Share this article Share this article A framework to review and practices to standardize QUÉBEC CITY, March 25, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Québec Ombudsman's report published today indicates that the administration of parents' financial contribution towards placement of their children under age 18 must be reviewed and that youth centre practices in this regard must be standardized. Context In Québec, between April 1, 2010, and March 31, 2011, 20 623 children under age 18 were lodged in substitute environments (foster families, youth centres, intermediate resources). The government covers the cost of placement. However, parents are required to contribute financially towards part of the cost of room and board. The Québec Ombudsman is not calling into question parents' obligation to make this contribution. It agrees fully with the importance of maintaining parent responsibility during placement. That said, it has noted that the Regulation respecting the application of the Act respecting health services and social services and the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux policy, which govern administration of the contribution, are obsolete and their application differs from one youth centre to another. The result: inconsistency and unfairness. An obsolete administrative framework Neither the regulation nor the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux policy regarding the contribution have been adjusted to factor in changes to the family benefit system over the years. The contribution rate still takes into account a benefit (baby bonus) that has not existed since 1997 and ignores the fact that since 2005 there has been a new measure (child assistance) that replaces family benefits, the non-refundable tax credit respecting dependent children, and the tax reduction for families. This administrative framework is not in line with the fiscal reality of families today and has not kept pace with advances in youth protection. This has led to inconsistency and unfairness. Here are two examples: The child support that parents must pay to an ex-spouse is not considered in calculating the debtor's contribution towards placement (this means that these parents pay child support and the financial contribution); Only the parent (mother or father) of a child who is placed is required to make the financial contribution, even if he or she does not have actual charge of the child (e.g. a grandfather has charge of his grandson and receives the child assistance payment for the grandson, who is lodged temporarily in a youth centre. It is the father who must pay the financial contribution towards placement. If he fails to do so, the grandfather will not be entitled to the child assistance payment even though he continues to provide for the needs and maintenance of the placed child). The impact of disparities in practices on parents and children In the course of the investigation it conducted, the Québec Ombudsman found sizable disparities in how youth centres apply the Regulation and the policy governing the contribution, in particular in terms of billing, negotiating agreements with parents who have trouble making the contribution, and collecting from parents in default. These differences are not only prejudicial to parents because they are treated differently depending on which youth centre is concerned, but they can also have an impact on their children. The Québec Ombudsman saw that rather than maintaining or strengthening parent-child relationships, some practices fuel conflicts between the parents and youth centre employees, which, ultimately, can adversely affect a child's return to his or her family environment. The Québec Ombudsman recommended that the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, the Régie des rentes du Québec, the Agence du revenu du Québec, and the Ministère des Finances et de l'Économie act so that the financial contribution: insofar as possible, is harmonized with changes in the fiscal measures to support families; is more consistent with youth protection principles; contributes more effectively and fairly to the achievement of the objective of maintaining parent responsibility and parent participation in the funding of the services provided to their child who is lodged in a substitute environment. The summary of the Québec Ombudsman's report is posted on its website at www.protecteurducitoyen.qc.ca, under the "Cases and Documentation" tab, "Investigation Reports and Special Reports" section.

Last week, we invited approximately 20 of the region’s best small builders to attend a briefing at the Ecovillage offices to learn about the project. The invitation attracted a capacity crowd of enthusiastic local builders. We briefed them on the project’s objectives and history, the intended architectural character, and the building requirements relating to embodied energy, thermal efficiency, and setbacks. We had a lively discussion about various construction types, roof forms, the delivery timing of the project and our expectations in order to be involved. We set 13 December as the deadline for builders to provide a submission to us if they wish to be involved in the project and we will be confirming participation prior to the Christmas break. Builders may nominate to be part of a Custom Builder’s List and / or participate by pre-designing one or more plans for one of the three lot types (Family, Cottage and Groupie) for our House and Land program. The participating builders will then have several months to develop their designs, specifications and pricing, as well as create some 3D mock-up images. We look forward to being able to upload these new designs (with prices) and our qualified list of builders to the Ecovillage website in March 2020. Our internal design team is putting the final polish on the Building Design Guidelines, which will be uploaded to the Document Library on the website very soon. The Local Development Plans, which regulate building form, setbacks, fencing and a number of other parameters, have been finalised and are with the Shire for approval.

Over 50 Games Using Unity Are In The Pipeline For Wii U Says Nintendo
By Siliconera Staff . March 21, 2014 . 11:31am
At GDC this week, Siliconera had a chance to speak with Damon Baker, Senior Manager of Marketing at Nintendo’s of America’s Licensing department. During our brief conversation, Baker said to us that are over 50 games coming to Wii U that use Unity.
“Over the course of this show, we have nine games on display,” Baker said. “We have 17 that are currently in the pipeline, that have been submitted. So they will all be out within the next two months.”
“And then, we have another fifty that are waiting in the wings, that are coming; so we’ve got a lot of Unity content on the way.”
Last year, Nintendo announced a partnership with Unity Technologies that would bring a Wii U-specific version of the popular game development Unity engine to the platform. The engine comes free with Wii U development kits, in order to make it easier for developers to get started with Wii U development.
In addition to the Unity partnership, Nintendo’s Web Framework—which is a development environment that enables Wii U development using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS—is part of an ongoing initiative bring more developers to Wii U, company president Satoru Iwata said last year.
“There are over a million Unity developers, including many in developing countries where the business of dedicated gaming machines is not prosperous,” Iwata said at the time. “We would like to create opportunities for these developers to have their games available for Wii U.” | positive |
