SCOTUS overturned decision upholding Robertson's conviction and remanded the case so that the indictment could be dismissed and the lien cancelled(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the Supreme Court of the United States has overturned a lower court decision affirming the conviction of Joseph Robertson, a 78-year-old veteran now deceased who was sentenced to prison for digging ditches on his rural Montana property to protect the area surrounding his home from wildfires. Judicial Watch had filed an amicus curiae brief jointly with the Allied Educational Foundation supporting Robertson and urging Supreme Court review and reversal of the lower court decision. Robertson served 18 months in prison and died while serving probation. He was also fined $130,000, a liability inherited by his estate.
In an eight-page ruling (See Below), Nevada state Judge Jim Crockett rejected Bundy's assertion that only individual states — rather than the U.S. government — can own public lands."It is simply delusional to maintain that all public land within the boundaries of Nevada belongs to the State of Nevada," Crockett wrote in the decision dated April 1 and published yesterday.
District Judge Jim Crockett's decision was handed down in response to court papers filed by the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit conservation group, which had intervened in the case. The judge's decision followed previous court decisions against Bundy, who has claimed the federal government should not own land."It is painfully obvious that the claims asserted by Bundy in the instant matter rest upon a fundamentally flawed notion advanced by Bundy since 1998 regarding ownership of federal public lands," Crockett wrote in an eight-page decision.
The Justice Department yesterday moved to dismiss the "malicious prosecution" lawsuit filed by Nevada rancher Ryan Bundy and refuted claims that federal officials violated Bundy's constitutional rights during a 2014 armed standoff with Bureau of Land Management agents near Bunkerville, Nev.Bundy, who is represented by attorney Larry Klayman, filed a lawsuit last year against former Attorneys General Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder as well as former BLM Director Neil Kornze and former FBI Director James Comey.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled the Federal Bureau of Investigation must search for and produce records related to the agency's impersonation of documentary filmmakers during investigations in response to a request from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for more information about the practice.
After learning the FBI impersonated a documentary film crew to investigate Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his followers following a 2014 armed standoff between Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the Reporters Committee requested access to records related to this practice under the Freedom of Information Act. The FBI issued what's known as a Glomar response, refusing to confirm or deny the existence of records responsive to the Reporters Committee's request. The Reporters Committee challenged that response, arguing that it was improper, and the D.C. District Court agreed.
Why a Republic and How do we Keep it?
It was not easy for them to agree on the best form of government for the newly liberated nation. They did much research, analysis, and debate to come to the final definition of our Constitutional Republic.
A large portion of the consideration was to the understanding of the failures of other efforts both currently and in history, and how those failures would be prevented.
The Senate on Tuesday confirmed President Trump's nominee to be a judge on the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a party-line vote — and, in a historic snub, the White House ignored the input of the judge's two Democratic home-state senators in the process.The aggressive and unprecedented move to bypass the traditional "blue slip" consultation process and plow ahead with the confirmation comes as the Trump administration seeks to systematically erode left-wing dominance on the key appellate court, which Trump has called "disgraceful" and politically biased.
Pete Santilli, the conservative Internet talk show host who pleaded guilty to conspiracy stemming from the 2014 Bunkerville standoff in Nevada after charges were dismissed against him in the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, is in a legal battle with conservative lawyer Larry Klayman, who now represents Cliven Bundy.
In January, Santilli filed a bar complaint against Klayman, claiming Klayman collected donations for more than a year while Santilli and co-defendants were in custody in Nevada, promising to challenge their detention but never did.
What they continue to neglect to mention is that the Millers were a couple of leftist, anti-authoritarian lunatics who showed up at the Bundy ranch standoff with BLM agents trying to confiscate his cattle but were told by the Bundys to leave because of their "very radical" views.
A conservative internet talk show host and figure in the 2014 Bunkerville standoff wants to interview President Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone while Stone is under federal indictment.
But Pete Santilli, whose YouTube channel has 33,000 subscribers, must first get permission from U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro to conduct the video interview, according to his Las Vegas lawyer, Chris Rasmussen.
"Santilli looks forward to his audience being able to hear Roger Stone's side of the events that led up to his arrest, and friendship with President Trump," Rasmussen said in an interview Thursday.
POCATELLO — An Arimo ranching couple says they will soon lose access to feed some of their livestock, following a district judge's decision Monday afternoon to allow the county to go forward with a road-use restriction.
Effective Feb. 11, Sixth District Judge Robert Naftz said he will dissolve the temporary restraining order he issued in late January on behalf of ranchers Sherrilyn and Dennis Munden, blocking enforcement of a road access restriction included in a new county ordinance.
The ordinance, approved in January, specifies that a 2-mile stretch of Garden Creek Road the Munden's have used to haul feed to bulls, steers and horses is part of a designated snowmobiling route and is closed to other forms of traffic.
The Justice Department filed an appeal Wednesday of its devastating defeat against Cliven Bundy in the Nevada standoff, disputing the federal judge's decision last year to throw out the case based on prosecutorial wrongdoing.
The 88-page motion, filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, challenged Chief U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro's blistering finding of "flagrant" misconduct, which prompted her to declare a mistrial in December 2017 and dismiss the charges a month later.
LAS VEGAS – A year after a judge dismissed charges against rancher Cliven Bundy, two of his sons and another man, an appeal is coming.
Federal prosecutors announcing this week they are challenging a decision by a U.S. District Court judge to declare a mistrial and dismiss the case against the four men related to the armed standoff near Bunkerville, Nevada back in 2014.
The vast valley surrounding the Virgin River sprawls for miles in every direction. Recent rains have left the range lush with vegetation.
This month, four volunteers from a similar organization in Arizona, called No More Deaths, were convicted of misdemeanor charges of abandonment of property and entering a wildlife refuge without a permit after leaving food and water in a remote national wildlife refuge infamous for migrant fatalities. The Pima County medical examiner has documented 137 migrant deaths in this area since 2001, although No More Deaths advocates say they believe the number is much higher.
Federal prosecutors said Wednesday they plan to appeal their demoralizing defeat in the Nevada standoff trial, which saw a federal judge rebuke prosecutors for "flagrant misconduct" and dismiss all charges against rancher Cliven Bundy and two of his sons.
"Undersigned counsel further advises that the draft brief is nearly complete, editing of the completed portions has begun, and she has begun the laborious process of preparing the excerpts of record and updating the record citations in brief to the excerpts of record," Ms. White said in the motion.
The Justice Department already had requested and received two extensions, but it was unclear until Wednesday whether prosecutors would go forward with the appeal.
Bundy attorney Larry Klayman condemned the decision to file the appeal, which would go before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. He accused the government of "circling the wagons" to protect prosecutors, including former Acting U.S. Attorney for Nevada Steven Myhre.
The release goes on to state the group's belief that the interests and values of rural Nevadans differ greatly from those who reside in large cities. It further asserts that advances for the urban areas often come at the expense of the remainder of the population.
To help generate interest in the New Nevada State Movement, the group hosted a "Declaration Day Rally" in front of the Nye County Courthouse on Jan. 21. There, a Declaration of Independence was read, outlining the intent to have rural counties secede from Nevada and form a brand new state, with its own government, which would be controlled by the vote of the rural people.
Right now, there are over 140 judicial vacancies that need to be filled, and needless to say, Senate Republicans have their work cut out for them.
And because judges have such profound influence in the way you and millions of Americans live out your faith, we'd like to let you in on a little secret about judicial nominations.
Here's some "inside baseball" you're not going to get anywhere else.
OJ Appellate Chief and Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth White revealed Francisco's apparent indecision on Wednesday in a request to delay opening briefs in the case, which centers on a 2014 armed standoff between the Bundys and their supporters and the Bureau of Land Management.
Brian "Booda" Cavalier, 47, of Mesa, Arizona, was told he won't serve any more time than the 20 months he spent in federal custody between his arrest in early 2016 and his guilty plea in October 2017 to two charges of conspiracy to impede and injure a federal officer.
Navarro also sentenced Cavalier to one year of federal supervision, ordered him to undergo substance abuse treatment and prohibited him from communicating with other people connected with the standoff.
Cavalier also pleaded guilty to a weapons charge in Oregon and was sentenced in 2016 to time already served in federal custody in Portland for his role in a 41-day armed occupation of a wildlife refuge with more than two dozen people including Bundy sons Ryan and Ammon Bundy in January 2016.
The Nevada Supreme Court has issued a temporary stay in the case of Water Order #1293A, allowing the Nevada state engineer, for the moment, to continue requiring water rights relinquishments for all new domestic wells drilled in Pahrump.
The temporary stay comes as part of the appeal process, with the state engineer going to the Nevada Supreme Court after a district court judge ruled against the office in the lawsuit brought forward by Pahrump Fair Water.
However, it is only a temporary stay and it is possible that the Nevada Supreme Court could reverse that stay after considering the opposition provided by Pahrump Fair Water.
Regardless of this, Goedhart said he plans to continue pressing his case. "In speaking with my legal team… the consensus was that… there are excellent grounds to continue the lawsuit. I have received hundreds of phone calls, texts, and emails from Nye County voters encouraging me to press on. After careful consideration, I have instructed my legal team to press forward in our pursuit of justice," he stated.
The smear merchants of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) may have set out to destroy the wrong lawyer. PJ Media is reporting that last month, Glen Keith Allen, a Baltimore attorney, filed suit against the SPLC, alleging the left-wing hate group paid for stolen documents, violated confidentiality agreements, and caused him to be fired by the City of Baltimore over Allen's former association with the National Alliance (NA), a white nationalist group.
Allen has admitted to his past support for the NA and now claims he deeply regrets that association.
Allen's lawsuit basically accuses the SPLC of punishing "thought crime" through intimidation and character assassination. According to the complaint, the SPLC has chosen to "draw lines of political or cultural orthodoxy, develop massive surveillance networks and extensive dossiers and severely punish perceived transgressors who cross those lines, seem to cross them, or even seem to think about crossing them.
LAS VEGAS— A Nevada state court judge today granted the Center for Biological Diversity's motion to challenge a lawsuit filed by rancher Cliven Bundy, who wants to seize more than 58 million acres of publicly owned federal lands, including national parks and monuments. Having granted the Center "intervenor" status in the case, the court can soon consider the Center's motion to dismiss Bundy's case.

SS United States Plan Recalls Memories Of A Distinguished Literary Presence
Meeting John Maxtone-Graham, the Scottish-American author and expert on ocean liners and maritime history, ranks among my all-time thrills as a travel writer.
An amazingly elegant and distinguished presence, I thought Mr. Maxtone-Graham very easy to admire. A 1951 graduate of Brown University, he served as a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War and later worked as a Broadway stage manager. Despite his impressive background, he had a forthright and gentlemanly manner, all delivered in what he called his signature "trans-Atlantic" accent.
[AD_SWAP300X250A]
The funny thing is it was only later I learned of his noteworthy past. The day we met, somewhere around 1997, I was attending a Cunard Line media gathering and he was acting in his role as renowned ocean-liner historian.
As we talked he offered some kind and encouraging words. Later he handed me a signed a copy of "The Only Way to Cross," his seminal history of trans-Atlantic ocean liners. On the inside flap he'd written, "With the author's warmest and best wishes. Bon voyage always!"
Both then and since I've considered Mr. Maxtone-Graham as the tall, immaculate personification of the sophistication and class attached to the classic ocean liners, the preferred mode of transport for yesteryear's one percent. So naturally after learning luxury operator Crystal Cruises has forged an agreement to return the SS United States to service, my thoughts turned to the erstwhile author, who passed away on July 6, 2015.
I've yet to read Maxtone-Graham's book on the vessel, "S.S. United States: Red, White and Blue Riband, Forever." But in looking back on "The Only Way to Cross," his words resonate clearly as Crystal Cruises officials undertake a stringent study to assess the feasibility of operating the classic liner, currently docked at Pier 82 in Philadelphia.
Removed from service in 1969 and largely idle in the years since, the United States is aged and outdated to such a degree that Edie Rodriguez, Crystal's president and CEO, said the company's most significant challenge will be renovating the vessel to meet current safety and environmental standards.

That the United States would become outdated a relatively brief 17 years after her maiden voyage was likely never considered in 1952. After all, after more than a century in operation, Cunard Line experienced its most profitable decade ever in the economic boom that followed World War II's end.
"It is quite probable that Cunard's singular success prompted American enthusiasm to enter the Atlantic lists once more," wrote Maxtone-Graham.
Indeed the United States was designed and built as an expression of American ingenuity, if not outright flag-waving, by naval architect William Francis Gibbs.
The Philadelphia native bore "a basic antagonism for Europeans and their accomplishments," according to Maxtone-Graham. He was determined to prove Americans could operate a ship as fast and feature-filled as any of the magnificent English, French and Italian liners that then dominated trans-Atlantic channels.
Gibbs thus created a ship that emphasized speed and safety. In his obsession to produce a vessel capable of capturing the Blue Riband for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing, Gibbs literally snuck into the engine room of the finest ship then afloat, the Normandie, to take detailed notes on the vessel's power plant.
Later, aboard the United States itself Gibbs "elevated fire precaution to a religion," wrote Maxtone-Graham, banishing wood from all interior spaces in favor of aluminum.
"An effective publicity gimmick for the new ship claimed that the only wood on board was contained in the butcher's chopping block and the pianos," the author wrote. Gibbs' mania became such that he harangued piano maker Theodore Steinway to craft a piano encased in aluminum for the vessel.
"Steinway refused and won his point only after promising to ignite a fireproof mahogany piano doused with gasoline at his own expense, to prove that it would not burn," wrote Maxtone-Graham.
PHOTO: William Francis Gibbs, the SS United States' designer.
To Gibbs' delight, the United States captured the Blue Riband on its maiden voyage, averaging 35 knots and completing the eastbound crossing in three days, 10 hours and 40 minutes. Furthermore the ship was "an instant hit," said Maxtone-Graham.
"The ship received no higher accolade than the near continuous patronage of the Windsors, who transferred their affection from the [Cunard Line] Queens to their new American rival," he wrote.
It seemed trans-Atlantic travel's greatest era was just ahead. But only five years after the United States' launch "a sinister milestone was passed," wrote Maxtone-Graham.
Simply put, "In the summer of that boom year, as many crossed by air as by sea." The emphasis on speed so critical to Gibbs' plans soon swept aside the entire trans-Atlantic shipping industry as scheduled consumer airline travel began its ascent.
Today the same aluminum construction that was key to the United States' innovative status and great speed will likely be scrapped if and when the vessel resumes service. Maritime experts I spoke with said the superstructure will almost certainly be rebuilt entirely to meet current maritime regulations.
The "new" United States by Crystal Cruises will be an 800-guest-passenger ship with staterooms measuring about 350 square feet, plus dining, entertainment, spa and other amenities "true to the ship's storied history," said Rodriguez. The refurbished vessel's interiors will include replicas of the United States' original Promenade and Navajo Lounge.
Yet should the new designers seek to faithfully re-create the ship's original interiors they would do well to exercise some restraint. "Inside, she was impeccable if slightly cold," wrote Maxtone-Graham. "There was little monumental luxury in the traditional sense. All was metal and synthetics, low key and understated." As the author observes, the ship's "real glory lay below" in the United States' powerful engines.
Regardless of the ship's eventual interior profile, there's little dispute Crystal Cruises will be re-launching an authentic American landmark should its plan succeed. I like to think Mr. Maxtone-Graham would have approved.

Worksport Provides Corporate Update, 2021 Retrospective and 2022 Ramp-Up
Mississauga – December 1, 2021 — Worksport Ltd (Nasdaq-CM: WKSP) (the "Company") is providing a Corporate Update, including a review of 2021 and what Management has planned in 2022.
Company management would like its community of shareholders and supporters to know that 2021 was a year of consolidation, building and strategic planning.
As a cornerstone of Worksport's agenda, the Company began ramping up production from its Chinese factory immediately following the close of the Regulation-A offering in March. To service Worksport's new B2B and B2C sales strategies, the Company has been stocking inventory during Q4, 2021, which includes our conventional products that will be sold through our eCommerce platform slated for launch Q1 2022.
In 2021, we developed the first solar tonneau cover along with its counterpart, the Terravis COR, a portable rechargeable energy storage unit. With our $30mm capital raise, we were able to begin to bring our manufacturing home to Canada. In our new facility, we will have the ability to streamline our manufacturing process to produce our products faster while maintaining similar profit margins.
To close out 2021 Worksport will be heavily focusing on securing and tooling its new facility. – with the first automated cutting and milling machines having arrived in October. Management expects delivery of the remaining equipment to continue into December and through the end of January. These production capabilities range from cutting and milling, to metal bending, automated sewing, plastic application and tarp cutting. Management expects most, if not all, of these systems to be installed between the end of January and mid-February 2022. If there are no delays due to unpredictable lead times as a result of the Covid-19 global recovery, management believes the Canadian factory will begin servicing its B2B and B2C customers by the end of Q2 2022.
In addition, we have been able to increase our research and development operations and attract several professionals with PhDs to join our already talented team of engineers and designers. We believe our team is poised to undertake and complete projects that will be ground-breaking with respect to clean energy solutions. Although shipping and supply challenges have delayed its launch, we are excited to demonstrate the Terravis' capabilities and will be in a position to do so hopefully in Q1 2022. The Company originally planned a demonstration in Q4 2021, however crucial components are stuck in transit.
As of the date of this release, we are waiting for the internal batteries to arrive. There have been some delays in shipping due to batteries of this energy capacity not able to be shipped conventionally. Regardless of shipping delays, management believes that it will be able to debut the Terravis COR and solar cover, demonstrating its capabilities for consumers and investors publicly before the end of 2021.
As Management looks toward the second half of 2022, we have already begun the process of transforming the COR system into its platform, with a variety of uses, including whole-home power backup with an emphasis on portability to work in conjunction with its SOLIS and COR products. To echo Worksport's Director of Engineering, Dr. Rafael Oliveira, the Company is already looking to continue innovating with more powerful mobile units, maintaining focus on simplicity and usability. And while still early in its development, Terravis Energy's NPEV system is making incredibly significant progress, with Management expecting to have a working prototype in early 2022. Furthermore, because of the Company's charismatic business development strategies involving actively seeking out partners and having conversations with potential partners, there have been exploratory talks of building a B2B business with large multinational stores.
Worksport CEO Steven Rossi comments, "Part of our goal is to make power systems easier and simpler to use. We have made incredible strides towards achieving these objectives, going from concept to production in just under 1.5 years, and we look forward to even greater steps. We maintain our strong commitment to decarbonize transportation and shift consumer mindsets toward sustainable energy technologies, and we look forward to sharing these developments with the investment community as they come to fruition."

Great irony! There is so much to read in to the combination of "I shoot people" and a camera icon. Everywhere in the world has been marred by gun violence, and many people have been touched by the simple effect of photographing real people.
Good idea. A suggestion: How about "I shoot people" on the front and a camera on the back? That should be interesting to people seeing the front side first.


In our Beaverton chiropractic clinic, we employ various methods to release the hip flexors, including Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, cupping, manipulation, and electrical stimulation. Home therapy will include both mobility and strengthening drills. Today we're going to discuss one of our favorite drills to both lengthen a shortened hip flexor, and make it very strong at end range - the range most susceptible to injury.
Developed by world-renowned musculoskeletal expert and chiropractor, Dr. Andreo Spina as part of the Functional Range Conditioning joint training system, PAILs (Progressive Angular Isometric Loading) and RAILs (Regressive Angular Isometric Loading) contractions are used whenever we see limitations in movement. Limitations in joint movement can happen from disuse, postural demands placed on the body, or due to injury.
These contractions should always be pain free, and can do more harm than good if the tissue is not ready for this level of stress being placed on it. PAILs and RAILs are most appropriate when we find muscular/joint restrictions in an area of the body.
2. At the end of the 2 minute stretch, activate your core muscles, and begin building a powerful, all-body contraction. Holding this contraction, drive your back knee into the floor with as much force as you can gather for 20 seconds.
3. After 20 seconds, pull yourself into a deeper stretch while continuing to drive your knee into the ground. Hold for 20 seconds.
4. After 20 seconds, release the contraction and begin a new 2 minute stretch cycle.
5. Repeat this entire cycle 2-3 times, or as prescribed by your Back In Motion chiropractor.


Cory, a guide and Jessica resting at base camp.
GLADSTONE power couple Jessica Beyers and Cory Ebenestelli are combating world poverty, one charity trip at a time.
Between March 9 and April 15 this year, the couple spent their time trekking, volunteering and learning about cultures in Africa less fortunate than their own.
"It taught us about the simplicity of living in other countries and how some unfortunate people struggle," Cory said.
Last year, the couple spent months holding local fundraisers to reach their goal of $20,000.
"We ended up raising $11,500, which we are really happy with," Jessica said. "We reached our target of $4500 each."
A total of $9000 will be donated to World Vision, with the remaining cash to be spent on the pair's airfares.
On March 9, the pair arrived in Africa and spent the next three days visiting Arusha, to oversee a water pump project to which they had donated through World Vision.
Next on the agenda was a five-day climb to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania.
The hike up the mountain and two-day trek down was challenging for both Cory and Jessica.
"It's nothing you could really train for. The first few days were easy but, by the time we reached the summit, we were ready to go back," Jessica said.
The Mekeu School for mentally handicapped children.
The group of 23 trekkers was supported by 65 porters, who carried sleeping equipment and food supplies. Each individual trekker had to carry 20kg of day supplies.
After the climb, Cory and Jessica visited Limuru, Kenya, to volunteer at the Mekeu School for mentally challenged children.
"We were teacher aides for about two weeks," Jessica said.
"It was a challenge for us because we had a language barrier and we were also working with mentally challenged children."
Cory said the pair had benefited from the experience.
Up to 40 students aged between six and 20 years of age were being taught at the school.
But it wasn't all work for the pair overseas.
Cory and Jessica took time out for a safari andvisits to animal orphanages.
They also checked in with Jessica's sponsor child, 12-year-old Lelise Mulusew.
"I've been sponsoring her for three years and she was very happy to see me," Jessica said.
Soon after their return, the couple is now planning their next trip.

Thrombolysis
Thrombolysis is used as a treatment for dissolving blood clots in blood vessels that may prove to be life threatening. It is helpful in treating heart attacks and strokes, which occur as a result of blood clots, and pulmonary embolisms. Thrombolysis may involve the use of intravenous lines and catheters to administer the medicine.

After Procedure
Blood clots can present with different symptoms depending on the site of the clot. A few of the symptoms are as follows:-
Rapid breathing, shortness of breath, pain in chest (pulmonary embolism)
Nausea , breathlessness, sweating (heart attack as a result of a clot in the coronary arteries)
Pain, swelling and redness in the veins (DVT)
Abdominal pain and bloody stool (arteries of the intestines)
Symptoms of affected brain function such as weakness in one side of the body and loss of vision or speech.
An intravenous line or catheter may be used depending on the type of clot that needs to be treated.
Systemic thrombolysis- in systemic thrombolysis, clot-busting medications or drugs are administered with the help of an IV (intravenous) line through a vein usually in the arm. The drug circulates in the blood stream and eventually reaches the clot. It is used for pulmonary embolisms, heart attacks and strokes.
Catheter-directed thrombolysis- in catheter directed thrombolysis, a catheter (small plastic tube) is inserted into the body through a vein. The catheter is used to administer medicine directly into the clot.
Mechanical thrombectomy- this is used to physically break or suck the clot out of the body with the help of a small machine that is attached to one end of the catheter.
Heart and lung function is monitored closely during the procedure. The position of the clot is determined with the help of X-rays and other imaging techniques. The patient may be lightly sedated. The clot could dissolve within 24 hours, but in some cases, it may take upto 72 hours for the clot to dissolve.
Bleeding or infections at the site where the IV or catheter were inserted
Bleed in the brain which could cause a hemorrhagic stroke (brain stroke)
Kidney damage in patients with a pre-existing condition
Sometimes, the clot may break and travel to other parts of the body
Some patients may develop an allergic reaction to the contrast dye that is injected during the process for imaging purposes
Once the treatment is completed, the doctor will assess and examine the patient to make sure that the clot has been completely dissolved. The patient might need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days. Additional medicine may be given to ensure that the clot has been dissolved completely within hours of the procedure. The patient might also be required to take blood thinners for the next few months to prevent clot formation.

Майк Дёрнт (, рождённый ) — бас-гитарист и бэк-вокалист группы Green Day, Его настоящее имя Майкл Райан Притчард. Родился 4 мая 1972 года в Беркли, штат Калифорния.

Биография

Майкл Райан Притчард (Michael Ryan Pritchard), известный ныне как Майк Дёрнт (Mike Dirnt), родился 4 мая 1972 года в Беркли (Калифорния). Его мать была наркоманкой, поэтому он в раннем детстве был помещён в детский дом. В скором времени его усыновила пара молодожёнов, но когда Майку было всего 7 лет, его приёмные родители развелись. Поначалу Майкл жил с отцом, но вскоре из-за постоянных ссор был вынужден поселиться у матери. «Всякое случается в жизни» — говорит Майк. «Когда я был в четвёртом или пятом классе, мамы не было дома всю ночь. Наутро она пришла с мужчиной, который тут же въехал к нам. Я никогда не встречал его раньше, и в одно мгновение он стал моим отчимом. Мы не ладили долгое время, но когда я окончил школу, мы стали достаточно близки. Он многое дал мне. Например, он воспитал во мне дух работника. Но потом, когда мне было 17, он умер».

К тому времени Майк уже два года жил отдельно от семьи. Потом он начал снимать комнату в доме Билли Джо Армстронга (Billie Joe Armstrong). Все выходные Майк и Билли проводили вместе с группой Gilman Street. В то время Майк продолжал учиться, играл в группе Sweet Children, подрабатывал поваром. Затем он с трудом окончил школу, а всё потому, что мать отказалась подписать некоторые бумаги. «У меня был тяжёлый разговор с матерью», — говорит Майк. «Я сказал ей тогда, что у неё даже не было времени спросить меня о том, посещал ли я школу, делал ли уроки и т. п. Я сказал, чтобы она перестала играть роль матери только раз в году, так как меня это уже достало и стало доставлять неприятности. В общем, поругались мы крепко». В итоге Майк всё же окончил школу и даже посещал курсы при колледже.

Личная жизнь
В 1996 году Майк женился на своей девушке Анастасии, с которой встречался долгое время. В апреле 1997 года она родила ему дочь, названную Эстеллой-Дезайр Притчард (Estelle Desiree). В настоящее время Майк и Анастасия разведены, однако поддерживают тёплые дружеские отношения. В 2004 году Майк снова женился, но вскоре новая жена ушла от него, потому что он проводил слишком много времени в студии, работая над альбомом American Idiot. 11 октября 2008 года у него появился сын Брикстон Майкл от нынешней жены Бриттни Кейд, с которой они обвенчались на приватной церемонии 14 марта 2009. 29 ноября 2010 у них родилась дочь Райан Руби Мэй (Ryan Ruby Mae).

Майк является поклонником «Звёздных войн», в одном из интервью он сказал: «Основная часть моих религиозных убеждений базируется на "Звёздных войнах"».

Так же Дёрнт является совладельцем Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, закусочных в Эмервилле, Калифорния и Оклэнд, Калифорния. Закусочная получила своё название благодаря песне панк-группы The Clash — Rudie Can't Fail с их альбома London Calling. Названия блюд в меню имеют панк-тематику, например, «God save the chicken» отсылает к песне «God Save the Queen» Sex Pistols и «Give 'Em Enough Meatloaf», отсылающее к «Give 'Em Enough Rope» The Clash.

После выхода альбома Warning Майку понадобилась операция для исправления синдрома запястного канала.

Песни и вокал
Хоть основным лириком в группе Green Day является Билли Джо Армстронг, Майк написал тексты к песням «Emenius Sleepus», «J.A.R.», «Scumbag», «Ha Ha You're Dead» и субтрек «Nobody Likes You» из песни «Homecoming», вместе с Армстронгом является соавтором песен «Best Thing in Town», «The One I Want» и «Panic Song», а также сочиняет все бас-партии песен Green Day. Дёрнт исполняет песню «Governator», третий куплет песни «Outsider» из сборника Shenanigans и поет во второй половине «American Eulogy (Modern World)» с альбома 21st Century Breakdown.

Другие проекты
Также Майк Дёрнт выступал в таких группах, как the Frustrators (где играет до сих пор), Screeching Weasel, Crummy Musicians, Squirtgun. Его музыкальным амплуа является бас-гитара. Однако ему ещё близки акустическая гитара и ударная установка. Кроме того, в некоторых песнях можно услышать его бэк-вокал.

Approximately 80 educators rally outside MPP Ross Romano's constituency office on Thursday afternoon. Teachers and support staff are concerned about cuts to education anticipated by the Conservative government. The Tories did not campaign on issues such as larger classroom sizes and changes to kindergarten, Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation executive officer Martha Hradowy told demonstrators. "We are already overwhelmed with the demands of our jobs," said Sharon Indrevold, district vice president of OSSTF. "We need more money into education, not less." Protestors carried signs with messages including Don't Let Ford Do to Education What GM is Doing to Oshawa, We Care About Kindergarten and Public Education System at Risk by Cutting $1 Billion in Next Budget.

ETC will present its lighting equipment for the rental market at the 10 th annual International Rental Conference, January 29th through 31st, at the Sovremennik Cultural Center in Samara. Conference attendees will be able to experience the newest additions to the Eos , Source Four and ColorSource families.
Eos Titanium (Eos Ti) is the flagship lighting-control console in the Eos family. Eos Ti has two large multi-touch displays, a nine-inch encoder display, 20 user-defined keys, motorized faders, and other features to create lighting displays on the fly. ETC recently released new Eos v2.3 software, which opens up new possibilities when working with color and makes programming show creation even easier.
Source Four LED Series 2 luminaires create crisp, clean beams of light or soft washes, adding flexibility to any lighting project. The luminaires come in three versions: Lustr, Daylight HD and Tungsten HD. By simply adding an adapter, attachment or accessory, you can turn a Source Four LED into a cyc light, Fresnel, zoom spotlight, fixed-focus spotlight or dozens of other tools to fit any lighting task. Source Four LED Series 2 luminaires can expand any lighting inventory.
A limited budget shouldn't limit access to high-quality equipment. That's why ETC began producing ColorSource PAR and ColorSource Spot LED luminaires. ColorSource luminaires have a proportionate mix of red, green, blue and lime LED emitters, creating rich and accurate color output. ETC calibrates the color of every LED, ensuring uniformity. And they compensate for the thermal droop that affects most LEDs, so the light output from a ColorSource PAR or Spot is the same at the beginning of a show to the end.
At the Rental Conference, ETC specialists will be on hand, ready to answer any question about ETC equipment.

Chapter 10 Gender Inequality - Concept Checks - 白洛嘉
Chapter 10 Gender Inequality - Concept Checks
Broca • 2022-01-13 • 0 评论 • 49 阅读
My textbook is Introduction to sociology (11e) by Anthony Giddens [and three others].
My notes and finished quizzes of Chapter 10 Gender Inequality are below.
An attention-grabbing question
In 2017, what proportion of all CEOs of Fortune 500 companies were women?
a. 5%
c. 25%
d. 50%
The correct answer is a.
I. Basic Concepts
1. What is the difference between sex and gender?
Sex refers to the biological and anatomical differences distinguishing females and males.
Gender refers to social expectations about behavior regarded as appropriate for the members of each sex. Gender refers not to the physical attributes distinguishing men and women but to socially formed traits of masculinity and femininity.
2. How do both biology and gender socialization contribute to differences between men and women?
Gender differences are not biologically determined; they are culturally produced.
Studies document persuasively that biological factors—including genetics, hormones, and brain physiology—differ by gender, and that these biological differences are associated with some social behaviors, including language skills, interpersonal interactions, and physical strength. However, nearly all social scientists agree that theories based solely on an innate predisposition neglect the vital role of social interaction in shaping human behavior.
Some have claimed that the male sex hormone, testosterone, is associated with a propensity for violence (Archer, 1991).
There might be slight biological differences between men and women, but these small differences may be exacerbated and amplified by social contexts that promote behaviors that are consistent with gendered stereotypes and expectations.
Burman and colleagues' (2007) data show that girls and boys learn language in different ways.
A mounting body of research concludes that gender differences in brain functioning may contribute, in part, to a wide range of social outcomes, including communication style, empathy, depression, anxiety, and fear. However, most scholars conducting this research are careful to point out that biological differences are almost always exacerbated or fostered by social contexts and norms (McCarthy, 2015).
3. What does it mean to say that gender is something we "do"? Give an example of a way you do gender in your daily life.
Our clothing choices, how we wear our hair, even the pitch and intonation of our voice are all indications of how we "do gender" each day. This process of doing gender underscores the notion that gender is "socially constructed." For example, I need to wear those clothes designed for men.
4. How can studies of other cultures contribute to the argument that gender is socially constructed?
Cross-cultural research conducted by anthropologists, in particular, helps us recognize how deeply entrenched gendered categories are in the United States and shows us strong evidence that gender is fluid and socially constructed.
Mead studied three separate tribes in New Guinea.
In Arapesh society, both males and females generally exhibited characteristics and behaviors that would typically be associated with the Western female role.
In another New Guinea group, the Mundugumor, both the males and females were characteristically aggressive, suspicious, and, from a Western observer's perspective, excessively cruel, especially toward children.
In a third group, the Tchambuli tribe of New Guinea, gender roles of the males and females were almost exactly reversed from the roles traditionally assigned to males and females in Western society. Women "managed the business affairs of life" while "the men...painted, gossiped and had temper tantrums"(Mead, 1972).
In contemporary Afghanistan, boys are so highly prized that families with only daughters often experience shame and pity; as a result, some transform one young daughter into a son. The parents cut the girl's hair short, dress her in boy's clothes, change her name to a boy's name, and encourage her to participate in "boys' activities" such as bicycling and playing cricket. These children are called bacha posh, which translates into "dressed up as a boy."
II. Sociological Theories of Gender Inequalities
1. Contrast functionalist and feminist approaches to understanding gender inequality.
Functionalist and functionalist-inspired perspectives on gender argue that gender differences, and, specifically, men's and women's specialization in different tasks, contribute to social stability and integration.
Scholars who support the concept of natural differences argue that women and men perform those tasks for which they are biologically best suited.
Another perspective on gender differences that is consistent with core themes of functionalist theories is attachment theory, advanced by psychologist John Bowlby (1953). Bowlby argued that the mother is crucial to the primary socialization of children.
Feminists have sharply criticized claims of a biological basis for the sexual division of labor, arguing that there is nothing natural or inevitable about the allocation of tasks in society.
Feminist scholars do not deny that men and women have distinctive biological characteristics, yet they argue that physical differences alone cannot explain the stark gender differences in men's and women's social and economic roles.
2. What are the key ideas of liberal feminism? What are criticisms of this perspective?
Liberal feminism sees gender inequalities as rooted largely in social and cultural attitudes. They identify many separate factors that contribute to inequalities—for example, sexism and discrimination in the workplace, in educational institutions, and in the media. They focus on establishing and protecting equal opportunities for women through legislation and other democratic means.
Critics charge that they have been unsuccessful in dealing with the root cause of gender inequality and do not acknowledge the systemic nature of women's oppression in society (Bryson, 1999). Critics say that by focusing on the independent deprivations women suffer—sexism, discrimination, the glass ceiling, unequal pay— liberal feminists draw only a partial picture of gender inequality.
3. What are the key ideas of radical feminism? What are criticisms of this perspective?
At the heart of radical feminism is the belief that men are responsible for, and benefit from, the exploitation of women.
Radical feminists identify the family as one of the primary sources of women's oppression. They argue that men both exploit women by relying on their unpaid domestic labor in the home and, as a group, deny women access to positions of power and influence in society (Tong, 2009).
Other radical feminists point to male violence against women as central to male supremacy.
Radical feminists do not believe that women can be liberated from sexual oppression through legislative reforms or gradual attitudinal change. Because patriarchy is a systemic phenomenon, they argue, gender equality can be attained only by overthrowing the patriarchal order.
A key objection is that the concept of patriarchy is inadequate as a general explanation for women's oppression (Tong, 2009).
The conception of patriarchy as a universal phenomenon does not leave room for historical or cultural variations. It also ignores the important influence of race, class, and ethnicity on the nature of women's subordination; in short, it fails to recognize that not all men have equal power to act as oppressors, and not all women are equally subjugated.
4. How do the key ideas of socialist feminism challenge the main themes of liberal and radical feminism?
First, they challenge liberal feminists' vision that equality for women in all institutions of society, including government, law, and education, is possible through policy reforms.
Rather, socialist feminists reject the notion that true equality is possible in a society whose social and economic structures are fundamentally flawed. They depart from radical feminists, however, because socialist feminists believe that women should work with men to fight class oppression. Socialist feminists do not generally believe that sex and the patriarchy are the sole roots of oppression; rather, gender is just one of several axes of oppression (Holmstrom et al., 2002).
5. Do you think that postmodern feminism is incompatible with liberal, radical, and black feminist perspectives? Why or why not?
Postmodern feminists reject the claim that there is a grand theory that can explain the position of women in society or that there is any universal category of "woman." Consequently, these feminists reject the accounts others give to explain gender inequality—such as patriarchy, race, or class—as "essentialist" (Beasley, 1999).
I think postmodern feminism is just as ultimate as communism. Therefore, it is temporarily incompatible with liberal, radical, and black feminist perspectives.
III. Research on Gender Today: Documenting and Understanding Gender Inequalities
1. Do you believe that girls or boys are more disadvantaged in the classroom? Why?
I think girls are a little more disadvantaged in the classroom. Because as a result of their clothes, girls lacked the freedom to sit casually, to join in rough-and-tumble games, or to run as fast as they were able.
In general, people interact differently with men and women, and boys and girls (Lorber, 1994)—even in elementary schools. Studies document that teachers interact differently, and often inequitably, with male and female students in terms of the frequency and content of teacher-student interactions. Such patterns are based on, and perpetuate, traditional assumptions about male and female behavior and traits.
2. Describe at least three examples of how gender inequalities emerge in the workplace. How would a sociologist explain these inequities?
Gender plays a powerful role in shaping workplace experiences. Everything from the jobs we hold, to how much we earn, to even our treatment at the hands of coworkers, is powerfully shaped by gender.
Gender typing refers to women holding occupations of lower status and pay, such as secretarial and retail positions, and men holding jobs of higher status and pay, such as managerial and professional positions.
The glass ceiling is particularly problematic in male-dominated occupations and professions, such as investment banking, as we learned earlier in this chapter. Women's progress is blocked not by virtue of innate inability or lack of basic qualifications but by lack of the sponsorship of powerful senior colleagues to articulate the women's value to the organization or profession (Alvarez et al., 1996).
Sexual harassment is unwanted or repeated sexual advances, remarks, and behavior that are offensive to the recipient and cause discomfort or interfere with job performance. Power imbalances facilitate harassment; even though women can and do sexually harass subordinates, it is more common for men to harass women because men usually hold positions of authority (Padavic and Reskin, 2002).
Across the globe, men outpace women in most workplace and economic indicators. Women around the world work in the lowest-wage jobs and are likely to make less than men doing similar work—although there is some evidence that the wage gap is slowly decreasing, at least in industrialized countries (OECD, 2012).
Because women throughout the world also perform housework and child care at the end of the paid workday, often dubbed the "second shift," women work longer hours than men in most developed countries, including the United States. On average, working women in developed nations work 32 minutes more per day than working men (8 hours and 9 minutes, compared to 7 hours and 36 minutes). This gap is even worse in developing nations: 9 hours and 20 minutes for women versus 8 hours and 7 minutes for men (ILO, 2016).
In Japan, for example, women have been particularly likely to face barriers to career advancement, especially in professional and managerial positions. Only 11 percent of such positions are now held by women, due both to discriminatory hiring practices and the fact that fully 70 percent of Japanese women exit the workforce when they have their first child (Cunningham, 2013; Simms, 2013).
3. How do inequalities in the home, especially with regard to housework and child care, reflect larger gender inequities in society?
One key reason women face compromised labor force prospects relative to men is that household duties, ranging from child care to elder care to daily housework, are disproportionately borne by women.
One reason that wives—even full-time employed, high-earning women—perform more hours of housework than their husbands is that women and men specialize in different chores. The chores that women typically perform are more time-consuming and happen on a daily rather than a sporadic basis.
Women also spend more time on child-rearing responsibilities, which reflects pervasive assumptions that women are "naturally" the primary caregiver (Shelton, 1992).
Some sociologists have further suggested that women's greater burden at home is best explained as a result of economic forces: Household work is exchanged for economic support.
Women's struggles with the work-family balance illustrate the powerful ways that gender shapes our daily lives.
4. What are some important differences between men's and women's political participation?
Women are playing an increasingly important role in U.S. politics, although they are still far from achieving full equality.
Women are continuing to make strides in other elected offices, although at a slow pace.
Typically, the more local the political office, the more likely it is to be occupied by a woman. One reason is that local politics is often part-time work, especially in smaller cities and towns. Local politics can thus be good "women's work," offering low pay, part-time employment, flexible hours, and the absence of a clear career path (Carr, 2008).
Women are playing an increasingly major role in politics throughout the world. Yet, of the 132 countries that belong to the United Nations, only 17 are presently headed by women.
Regionally, Nordic countries had the highest percentage of women in national legislatures (42 percent), while Arab states and Pacific Island nations trailed with only 18 percent and 15 percent, respectively.
Women are most likely to hold seats in national legislatures in countries in which women's rights are a strong cultural value—where women have long had the right to vote and are well represented in the professions (Kenworthy and Malami, 1999).
IV. Unanswered Questions: Why Do Gender Inequalities Persist?
1. Name three possible explanations for the gender pay gap.
Many sociologists view sex segregation—the concentration of men and women in different occupations—as a cause of the gender gap in earnings. Sex segregation is problematic because the gender composition of a job is associated with the pay received for that job.
Human capital theorists reason that women select occupations that are easy to move in and out of and that offer flexible or part-time hours while still providing moderately good incomes. Central to this argument is the assumption that women's primary allegiance is to home and family; they seek undemanding or flexible jobs that require little personal investment in training or skills acquisition so that they can better tend to household responsibilities.
Because women's work is devalued by society and by employers, women are rewarded less for their work. Moreover, women's relative powerlessness prevents them from redefining the work they do as "skilled." As long as jobs predominantly filled by women, such as caring for children and the elderly, are viewed as "unskilled" or even "intuitive," and thus requiring little training, wages in women's jobs will remain low.
2. Describe three ways that traditional expectations associated with male gender roles harm men and their families.
Traditional gender role beliefs and practices exert a profound toll on men as well, undermining the quality of their personal relationships, their freedom to choose professions that mesh with their own interests, their physical and mental health, and, ultimately, their life spans.
3. Discuss at least two reasons why women are so often the targets of sexual violence.
Some radical feminist scholars claim that men are socialized to regard women as sex objects and that this partly explains the high levels of victimization of women (Dworkin, 1987; Griffin, 1979).
The fact that "acquaintance rapes" occur suggests that some men feel entitled to sexual access if they already know the woman.
Rape is an especially potent instrument of war, since it dehumanizes the victims and—where sexual mores are highly restrictive—can break apart families and weaken the resolve of victims to resist their aggressors.
UN Women is recognition of a simple truth: Equality for women and girls is not only a basic human right, it is a social and economic imperative. Where women are educated and empowered, economies are more productive and strong. Where women are fully represented, societies are more peaceful and stable (Fifth World Conference on Women, 2010).
