Anti-Vax Confession: Kentucky Governor Exposed Kids to Chicken Pox Instead of Vaccinating Them
By Mark Osborne
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin admitted in a radio interview on Tuesday that he intentionally exposed his nine children to chicken pox instead of giving them a vaccination.
Bevin told WKCT, a station in Bowling Green, Kentucky, that his children were "miserable," but they "all turned out fine."
Once children get chicken pox, they are generally immune for the rest of their lives. Contracting the disease as a teenager or adult can be much more serious, and includes symptoms such as pneumonia, inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and hemorrhagic complications, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
"They got the chickenpox on purpose because we found a neighbor that had it and I went and made sure every one of my kids was exposed to it, and they got it," Bevin told the radio station. "They had it as children."

Charles Barkley to Dez Bryant: 'Pay your debts'
Since Charles Barkley is weighing in on everything these days – from the NCAA Tournament to athletes being paid at Auburn – we might as well get his take on Dez Bryant because, well, it's been a while since any news has surfaced on the Dez Watch.
When we last left off with Bryant, his advisor David Wells (the guy who helped arrange a lot of the unpaid loans for jewelry) said the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was in a "dark place."
Barkley weighed in on KESN-FM on Wednesday and you can listen to the interview here. The Dallas Morning News was kind enough to transcribe it.
"Could you all control Dez Bryant down there for me?" Barkley said. "Guys have to understand, man, it isn't about being a punk or bagging down or being like that. You have to back down all the time if you're a celebrity now because there's nothing positive…growing up, if people started with you, you'd say, 'I'm not going to be no punk.' That's when you're young and you're childish. When you're in the limelight now, you got to stand down. You got to stand down because everything you do is going to be a big deal. So you don't take it personal."
Barkley doesn't advise athletes to invest their money in jewelry, either.
"Anybody that buys a lot of jewelry I think they're an idiot," Barkley said. "But, I'm going back to the thing at the mall. You have to be smart enough to understand that I'm going to back down here, because I know whether it's me or my friends who has their pants hanging down, 'Dez Bryant' is going to be the name in the paper. I got to stand down.
"Now, the jewelry thing: pay your debts. I think anybody that wastes their money on jewelry - I think they're an idiot anyway – but you got to pay your debt, plain and simple. You know it's going to be a big deal; I mean, now this is all people are going to talk about. You got to pay your debt, plain and simple."

It has been a ridiculously long time since I last wrote on here. And I don't intend to be any better in the future...I am a failed blogger, we might as well admit. :) I'll keep it up though, for when the mood to write a post does hit. As it did tonight.
Recently I have read Anne of Green Gables, Prince Caspian, and The Enchanted Castle.
Anne of Green Gables--I am an Anne. Our personalities are pretty much exactly the same--with one difference...I can't hold grudges. I tried it once, and decided I didn't enjoy it. The book itself is incredible. Wonderfully written...you don't get that kind of amazing writing much. In fact I may venture so far as to say this and the Lord of the Rings are in a category all themselves. Not sure if I could back that up, but that's my feeling at this moment in time. :) Needless to say, I'm a big fan of both.
Prince Caspian--If I had read the book before seeing the movie, I'm afraid I would not have liked the movie much. As it is, I think it's a great movie. And a good book. I was surprised at how little action was in it. But since I'm more a fan of characters than action (I didn't get into The Horse and His Boy as much because it didn't include the four characters I've come to love), I enjoyed it.
And now I'm reading The Two Towers, Thorn in my Heart (thanks to Elena for letting me borrow it!), German Enchantment, and Farmer Boy.
German Enchantment--Another Christian romance. This one is a collection of four short stories. The first story was very good...and I was excited to discover that the second is a sort of continuation of it--one of the minor characters from the first story is one of the major characters in the second. :) Nothing incredible about the writing or any other part of it...it's just enjoyable. One needs books like this sometimes.
Farmer Boy--I can't recall if I ever read the Little House on the Prairie series before or not. I feel I must have. But I remember nothing about it. So I'm reading it again, or for the first time. And I'm enjoying it. Farmer Boy threw me off a little, when all the sudden there were all new characters and Laura and Mary and Carrie were gone! But I've gotten used to Alonzo and his family now. :) Another thought--there is very very little dialogue in these books. Strange for me, because when I write it's practically all dialogue (until I edit, of course). I honestly can't decide what I think of this approach.
Yah, the roofless mouthed people were CREEPY! :P I'll have to look those books up...after I've finished reading through my personal library. I decided it was thilly to go to the public library when I owned books I had yet to read.
OH MY GOSH!! YOUR BLOG STILL EXISTS!!!!
Something strange is going on...... two updates from two long-dead bloggers within the space of a week or two? Something fishy is going on here... first you, and then Gracey (who EVERYONE knows died several months ago)... I smell a conspiracy!!!!


The importance of the social and health care sector will increase due to demographic developments. However, many European countries face the difficulty of a shortage of qualified labour in health and social care. Germany, for example, currently has a lack of employees in this field, and this problem will increase over the next years. Estimated figures predict a lack of 193.000 qualified workers in 2025. In 2005, there was already a lack of 39.0000 workers (destatis: press release, 06.12.2010). Italy and Belgium face the same situation. This is one of the main reasons why the sector of health and social care will play a crucial role on the employment market in the near future. The sector can provide manifold as well as numerous job opportunities for young and less qualified people as well as for immigrants, especially for women.
However, the European systems for acquiring vocational qualifications in this field differ significantly. Common standards of assessment, description of learning outcomes and personal transcripts would significantly improve professional permeability and mobility within the sector of health and social care. Until now, there are only a few regulations for the recognition of learning time - but no guidelines about the recognition of already achieved learning outcomes. According to the experiences of AFBB, about one third of the graduates in the profession "Sozialhelfer" would like to work in the field of elderly care. The relevant law, the "Bundesaltenpflegegesetz", allows shortening the vocational education and training for the profession "Altenpfleger" for this target group from 3 to 2 years. However, these demands have not yet been met and the given opportunities are used seldom. Comparing learning outcomes of related professions in the field of health and social care with the aim of promoting permeability and mobility has not yet been implemented.
In the three participating countries, Germany, Belgium and Italy, this project will provide the comparisons of the learning outcomes of several selected professions. It will supply the methodologies and tools for assessing, validating and transferring learning outcomes from formal, non-formal and informal learning.


Many splendid buildings line the market Square. You can experience gastronomic variety here and enjoy Mediterranean flair beneath Japanese pagoda trees.
This was originally an open hall. From 1752 until after the war, it was used as the town hall. The Community Hall, furnished with Renaissance paintings, is located above it. The Weinheim coat of arms with the lion of the Electoral Palatinate, the blue and white diamond of Wittelsbach and the stepladder used in the wine-growing industry are mounted here.
Today you will find the Tourist Information at the ground floor.
The market fountain, erected in 1928 with the statue of Justitia, together with the splendid half-timbered house of the Lion Pharmacy from the beginning of the 17th century, are located in close proximity.
overbuilt with a residential and office building that looks out onto the marketplace.
Today it is used as an event location.
The Catholic St. Laurentius Church, which was newly constructed between 1911 and 1913, is located at the top of the marketplace. Numerous gravestones from the 13th to 18th century from the previous church can be found inside. The high altar and the side altar originate from the time around 1730.
The residential house with "royal chamber", in which the teacher, writer and politician Albert Ludwig Grimm lived (not related to the Brothers Grimm), can be found in the upper part of the marketplace. He was the first to publish an adaptation of the fairy tale "Snow White" in German.
Unfortunately, the Royal Chamber is only open to the public on certain days.

Ada Isabel Maddison (1869 - 1950) British mathematician best known for her work on differential equations .
Although Maddison passed an honors exam for Oxford, she was not given a degree there. Instead, she went to Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania. In 1893, the University of London gave her a bachelor's degree in mathematics with honors. After further study at Göttingen, Maddison went back to Bryn Mawr, where she taught as well as did administrative work. The administrative work, however, consumed much time she would have rather spent on mathematical research. Though her will did endow a pension fund for Bryn Mawr's administrative staff. She also put together a thorough listing of university courses open to women at the time in British and Canadian universities.

Q: How can I read the command line supplied to an offline clickonce application? I have a simple application that opens a TCP connection and communicates via Telnet to another system.  The application is to read a file that contains parameters and a simple scripting language to issue commands based on prompts from the connection.
Written in VS2013 using .NET 4
My application works as designed with one little exception.
I am publishing to a location using VS2013 which works well enough but the idea is to read a command line passed to my application that contains the path/file for the script to execute and that doesn't work as expected.
Finding out the hard way, the standard args[] parameters are not passed when it's published this way.
I have searched out multiple solutions that don't work both on here and other sites.
This is the basis (excerpt from page) of my current implementation to read the command line (found here: http://developingfor.net/2010/06/23/processing-command-line-arguments-in-an-offline-clickonce-application/).  This seems to be similar to all solutions I've found, each with some variation that doesn't work.
string[] args = null;
if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
{
    var inputArgs = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ActivationArguments.ActivationData;
    if (inputArgs != null && inputArgs.Length > 0)
    {
        args = inputArgs[0].Split(new char[] { ',' });
    }
}
else
{
    args = e.Args;
}

This SHOULD return args[] with parameters passed.  I believe it would also include the actual command with path to the application.  The Split function is because the author wishes to pass arguments separated by commas and not spaces.
My incarnation of this is a bit longer to include some checks to see if we actually get arguments from being compiled as an exe instead.  If I compile to EXE and supply a command line, all is fine.  Here is my code, not very concise as I've made lots of changes to debug and make this work.
I haven't figured out how to debug in the ide as network deployed with a command line so my debug code is via messagebox.
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    if (args.Length == 0)  //If we don't have args, assume onclick launch
    {
        if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)  //are we oneclick launched?
        {
            var cmdline = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ActivationArguments.ActivationData;  //this should hold the command line and arguments????
            if (cmdline != null && cmdline.Length > 0) //we have something and it contains at least 1 value
            {
                //This is all debug code to see what we get since we can't trace in this mode
                MessageBox.Show(cmdline.Length.ToString());  //how many objects do we have?
                foreach (String s in cmdline)
                {
                   MessageBox.Show(s); //show us the value of each object
                }
                Application.Run(new frmMain(args)); //launch the form with our arguments
            }
            else
            {
                //quit application
                MessageBox.Show("No command line.1");  //debug so we know where we failed
                Application.Exit();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //quit application
            MessageBox.Show("No command line.2"); //debug so we know where we failed
            Application.Exit();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Application.Run(new frmMain(args)); //launch form with args passed with exe command line
    }
}

Running the code above like this:
sTelent.application 1234

I have also explored the URL passing method which seems to only apply if launched from a web server, which this application is not.
At first I got NULL for my object:
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ActivationArguments.ActivationData
After more research I discovered that in my project properties under the Publish section there is an option button and under Manifests I can choose "Allow URL Parameters to be passed to application"
I checked this box and while I get different behavior, I don't get the desired behavior.
With that option checked I now get 2 messages boxes: The first showing the number of objects in cmdline and that number is 1 and the second showing the value of that one object which contains only the path/command to my application.  No other objects and definitely not my arguments.
Am I totally off base?  How do I get my command line arguments from an offline clickonce published application?

A: It seems that you must put the argument on the .appref-ms and not on not the .application or .exe for this to work correctly for clickonce based applications.
I created a short cut on my desktop by copying the installed application link found under All Programs.  That should create an icon on your desktop with the same name as your application.
Then, open a command prompt, type in "%userprofile%\Desktop\My App Name.appref-ms"  word for word (of course replace "my app name" with your application name).  It should then pass the arguments.  You can also put the command within a .bat file.  I'm sure that you can also reference the link directly, it typically is located under c:\users[user profile]\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\windows\start menu\programs[app name]

But we both noticed that we continued to notice each other. And we both noticed that the more we noticed each other, the more we noticed each other.
As time passed, we both noticed that we were beginning to notice that we were noticing that we thought it was OK to notice each other.
As more time passed we both noticed that "she and I" were blending into "we." Her mother noticed this and was just tickled pink. It was part of her plan.
Phyllis and I noticed it and we both noticed that we liked it.

Ben Lee, Of All People, Has Joined The Fight Against QAnon
An unlikely hero emerges.
by Jared Richards 15 September 2020
Ben Lee is worried about the impact of conspiracy theories on the US's ability to contain both the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising tides of fascism, and has become a somewhat unlikely hero in the attempt to combat widespread delusions spread under the QAnon umbrella.
Over the last month, Lee, who lives in the US, has taken to tweeting almost exclusively about the country's many maladies and encouraging his followers to vote for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden. But it's Lee's tweets specifically about QAnon, an increasingly mainstream conspiracy theory, that stand out, as he demands that his (assumedly largely) left-wing or new-age audience don't also get swept up in things.
For those unsure what exactly QAnon is, Business Insider reporter Cameron Wilson has an excellent explainer on the theory's roots and how it's taken shape in an Australian context, too. In short, it began as a theory that Donald Trump is covertly taking down a cabal of elite and Satanic child traffickers — pointedly, the belief conflates 'elites' with 'Jewish', and stems from 20th century anti-Semitic conspiracies.
It is a malleable beast, and quickly absorbs all manner of beliefs, including that COVID-19 is a hoax, as well as the anti-5G movement — many of the anti-lockdown protests around the world are a hodgepodge of QAnon signs and placards.
#qanonsense https://t.co/YOuaVQf17t
— Ben Lee (@benleemusic) September 13, 2020
It's ridiculous, but far from harmless — a quick look at the Reddit board QAnon Casualities reveals families torn apart by the conspiracies, with many people turning to the forum for advice on how to get their mother, lover or friends back. QAnon believers are also responsible for several acts of violence, including one murder, justified by their beliefs.
And then there's the pandemic, too. QAnon — and with no thanks to Trump, who refused to denounce the conspiracy theorists — has promoted mask-wearing and social distancing into a question of freedom and anti-pedophilia: in the below video of a Utah anti-lockdown protest below, a woman says she doesn't wear a mask because pedophiles do. Absolute brain-worms, and ones which would be funny if it wasn't helping to actively spread the virus.

Back to Lee, who is concerned with QAnon's ability to be picked up by new age, hippie types, who cherry-pick the issues they might be concerned with ('wellness', alternative health, anti-5G). As of late, wellness influencers have jumped on the QAnon train (most famously, Pete Evans), prompting Lee to repeatedly encourage wellness leaders to take a stand.
Pete Evans Goes Off The Deep End, Is Now Sharing Completely Bonkers Conspiracy Theories
"I would like to make a public request to the leaders of new age/health and wellness industries to make clear their position in regards to the QAnon conspiracy theory/political cult," he tweeted on September 8, before mentioning Eckhart Tolle, Gwyneth Paltrow and Deepak Chopra. "Your voices are needed."
While it's unlikely any of these three wellness giants will be challenged by Lee, he himself is a well-known proponent of wellness and new age spirituality, having spoken about both throughout his decades-spanning career, occasionally to insufferable levels, such as his 2013 conceptual album about taking Ayahuasca.
He's also copped criticism for his own beliefs, in 2017 promoting doTERRA essential oils, which have been called a multi-level marketing scam by another name. In this sense, it's a bold stance to say that new-age spirituality and yogis must speak out about QAnon, and it's one he's going all out on.
For the record, I'm a big NO to conspiracy theories, spiritual/self-help gurus, racism, paranoia and unchecked capitalism. Have a nice day!
— Ben Lee (@benleemusic) August 24, 2020
If you are a QAnon believer, I'd like to gently suggest picking up the book "Combatting Cult Mind Control" by Steven Hassan. It may not resonate, but theres no harm in giving it a read! Peace and love peace and love https://t.co/lrOboTIfb3
On September 15, he congratulated Off The Matt Yoga for a six part Instagram slide against QAnon, which was part of a combined effort from wellness influencers to denounce QAnon theories.
"This is the moment to make clear your community will not be used as a funnel for paranoid, racist, anti-semitic theories," he wrote.
He also called QAnon a cult, saying he has personal experience and can recognise the qualities — it's not directly clear what this is referencing, though Lee has been involved in various new-age religious movements over the decades.
Hi QAnon I've been in a cult before and from experience I can see you are one love Ben
Either way, Lee's incessant Tweeting about the perils of QAnon is a welcome change from the route many celebrities and wellness advocates take. An unlikely hero, and one we'll happily take.
Most recently, this June Lee released Golden State, his second album in collaboration with Josh Radnor — they also covered quarantine 'hit' "I Wonder What's Inside Your Butthole".

Cleveland, Ohio. A white man on a moped accidentally bumped into a truck being driven by a black man. He fell over but was not injured. A crowd of 40 white people pulled the black driver from the truck and brutally beat him. One of them climbed in the truck and ran over the driver, killing him. The crowd cheered.
Jacksonville, Florida. A group of four to six white men agreed that they would brutalize the next black person they saw walking down the street. That person turned out to be a mentally disabled 50-year-old, whom they beat and stomped into unconsciousness. He later died of his injuries.
Are you surprised that you've never heard of these sickening murders based on racial hatred? You didn't see saturation coverage on the news. You didn't hear politicians decrying racism. You didn't see a livid Jesse Jackson on CNN. Why? Because these acts of brutality didn't happen exactly as I described above. Oh, they happened, all right. The only thing is, the races of the attackers and victims were reversed. That is, a white man was beaten and then crushed by a mob of 40 black people who were furious that a black man bumped into his truck.¹ In Jacksonville, it was a gang of black men who stomped a mentally-disabled man to death solely because he was white.²
Because these hate crimes were perpetrated by black against whites — even though they were based completely on racial hatred — the national media, politicians, and civil rights leaders ignored them.
If these acts of savagery had indeed happened as I originally described them above, you would have heard about them. But because they were perpetrated by blacks against whites — even though they were based completely on racial hatred — the national media, politicians, and civil rights leaders ignored them. As opposed to the deaths of Yusef Hawkins and James Byrd, these deaths are only reported in the local media. And even then, the races of the people involved are often not mentioned.
Below are some more hate crimes that have been ignored because they happened the "wrong way" (i.e., they were black-on-white instead of white-on-black).
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Upset about a racial name-calling that occurred earlier that night, several black men savagely beat a random white man who had had nothing to do with the incident. He slipped away from his attackers, but they forced him to swim into a lake to escape. He drowned. The three men were sentenced to less than a year in jail.3
Massachusetts. Four black men decided to murder the next white person they saw. That unlucky soul was a college student from Boston, whom the men stabbed to death.4
Indiana. A black man was arrested for killing seven white people with a shotgun. He explained that he murdered his victims due to his "deep-rooted hatred" of white people.5
Miami, Florida. The leader of a black supremacist sect (i.e., the "Yaweh ben Yaweh cult") was convicted of the murders of several white people. He ordered his followers to kill any and all "white devils." They killed at least seven white people, bringing back body parts to their leader.6
North Carolina. Seven black men kidnapped a white woman, raped her, put her in a tub of bleach, shot her five times, and dumped her body. The murderers said they did this for racial reasons.7
North Carolina. Four black teenagers lured a white, ten-year-old girl into an empty house. "There, they sodomized her, strangled her with a cable wire, and beat her to death with a board. In the past few weeks, the trials in the Tiffany Long case have received extensive coverage in the North Carolina press. But with two of the three defendants already sentenced to lifelong prison terms, and the third now standing trial, the national media have all but ignored the story. Only the Associated Press has reported on the trials, in a single, cursory piece. The AP, of course, failed to mention the race of the people involved — an oversight it seldom if ever committed in the case of Amadou Diallo."8
Boulder, Colorado. After discovering that one of their members had never had sex with a white woman, an Asian gang went looking for one. When they found a white University of Colorado student, the six men gang raped her in their minivan for two hours.
At their trial, "Detectives described the woman's night of terror, including repeated threats to kill her.
"The woman leaped out of the minivan after one of the men raped her. Naked, she sprinted across Lefthand Canyon Road before Steve Yang tackled her, authorities said.
"'They were all screaming at her, calling her names and hitting her,' Detective Jane Harmer testified.
"Yang put her in a headlock and dragged her back into the van, where she was raped repeatedly, Harmer said.
"'It was a free-for-all,' Harmer testified.
"One man threatened to 'cut and burn her,' and another put a gun barrel to the back of her head when they released her, Harmer said."9
Kansas City, Missouri. An Ethiopian immigrant shot two white coworkers — killing one and critically injuring the other — at his workplace, then turned the gun on himself. At his residence, police found a three-page, signed note he had written in which he railed at "black blood sucker supreme white people" for oppressing him and black people in general.10
New York City. In a Midtown office building, a white woman was assaulted, raped, and anally raped by a black man who called her racist names during the attack. Police refused to label it a hate crime.11
Alexandria, Virginia. A black man walking through a neighborhood went over to a white eight-year-old boy playing in his great-grandparents' front yard and slit the child's throat, killing him. A witness says that the attacker shouted racial epithets during the attack, and the main suspect in the case owns anti-white hate literature and had written a note about killing white children. He had been previously arrested for attacking an unarmed white stranger with a hammer. (During the attack, he called his victim "Whitey.")12
This particular case provides a perfect example of the terrible way that anti-white hate crimes are handled. First, the investigators decided not to tell police officers about the racial aspects of the case, even while the police were conducting a manhunt to find the boy's killer. When this was revealed by the Washington Post, city council member Joyce Woodson defended this withholding of information from the cops on the front line. "What they did was proper. We already live in a racially charged world." The Democratic mayor of Alexandria implied his agreement: "Efforts to sensationalize this investigation will only hurt this investigation."13
To make things even stranger, the FBI offered to send agents and a fugitive task force to help with the manhunt, but the local police rejected the offer. They also refused the help of the FBI's profilers, forensics experts, and others.14
Eventually, the police arrested a suspect who was reportedly tied to the scene by DNA evidence. In another bizarre move, the Justice Department — which had acknowledged that it was monitoring the case — declined to prosecute the killing as a hate crime. The government's prosecutor in the case cannot charge the victim with a hate crime. "There's no applicable hate crimes law in Virginia," he explained.15
An editorial in the Washington Times pointedly commented on the deafening silence surrounding the brutal child-murder: "Has anyone seen Jesse Jackson around lately? Kweisi Mfume? Al Sharpton? For persons whose political antennae are ordinarily so sensitive that they can pick up racial tremors a thousand miles away, they seem to have overlooked a possible hate crime right here in the vicinity of the nation's capital."
Even though all of the above incidents occurred in the last ten years, anti-white hate crimes are not new. The Village Voice writes of "the wave of random street killings that terrorized San Francisco in 1973. The 'Zebra killers' struck without warning, murdering whites at night. Most victims were shot. One was raped, another beheaded. Four young black Muslims were arrested in 1974 and charged with 14 murders, seven assaults, one rape, and an attempted kidnapping. The Zebra killers were convicted in 1976."16
The Exceptions That Prove the Rule
On extremely rare occasions a vicious black-on-white hate crime does make the national news. This was the case with the Central Park jogger and Colin Ferguson. Just why these two violent acts of hatred bubbled up into mass consciousness — while others that are at least as heinous have been ignored — is not clear. Nevertheless, it is instructive to examine them because, though they received wide attention, they were still treated differently than their white-on-black counterparts.
The Central Park jogger, you'll recall, was a white woman who was gang raped and beaten almost to death by a gang of black and Hispanic teenagers in 1989. This incident introduced the term "wilding" to the nation. As Nicholas Stix described it: "The boys dragged her 200 yards to a secluded place, where they fractured her skull with a plastic-wrapped, four-foot lead pipe, and some large rocks. The boys ripped the Jogger's clothes off of her, tying her hands behind her back with her sweatshirt, gagging her, and taking turns beating, stomping, and raping the unconscious woman, as 75 per cent of her blood oozed into the Central Park grass. They left her, with bruises, welts, and wounds literally from head to toe, for dead."17
Despite the fact that physical evidence, eye witnesses, and video-taped confessions by the attackers in their parents' presence all pointed to the young men's guilt, protestors outside the courtroom referred to the trial as a "lynching."
The assault was officially declared not to be a hate crime, and some influential black media and commentators — including Al Sharpton and two of New York's African-American newspapers — declared that prosecuting the attackers was an act of racism. Some even questioned whether the attack really happened. Despite the fact that physical evidence, eyewitnesses, and videotaped confessions by the attackers in their parents' presence all pointed to the young men's guilt, protestors outside the courtroom referred to the trial as a "lynching."18
Four years later, a black man named Colin Ferguson opened fire inside a commuter train in Long Island. Six people died and nineteen were injured. "Police recovered from Ferguson's pocket a handwritten note titled, 'Reasons for This.' It expressed hatred towards whites, Asians, and 'Uncle Tom blacks,' and stated that Nassau County, Long Island was chosen as 'the venue' because of its predominantly white population."19 How did politicians and commentators respond to this racially motivated bloodbath? President Clinton ignored the racial aspects, instead using the incident as an excuse to once again call for tighter gun control laws. Commentators either denied that it was a hate crime or admitted that it was but then tied themselves in knots to explain it away. The Dallas Morning News interviewed a sociologist who "conceded that Ferguson picked his victims on the basis of race, but did not think this justified the hate crime label."20
A scholarly book on hate crimes (discussed more below) notes: "When the Reverend Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam leader, mentioned Colin Ferguson, the Long Island Railroad mass murderer, at a rally in New York City, the audience cheered. In a speech before an audience of 2,000 at Howard University, Nation of Islam spokesman Khalid Muhammed drew loud applause when he stated, 'I love Colin Ferguson, who killed all those white folks on the train.'"21
The Overall Numbers
When presented with these horrifying violent acts committed against whites for racial reasons, some people respond with the argument that these occurrences must be flukes. They're just isolated incidents, this line of reasoning goes; surely the overall statistics show that whites attack blacks much more often than blacks attack whites.
This is a "straw man" argument: Even if it were true, it would still not affect the fundamental point that anti-black hate crimes receive national coverage and trigger political denunciations, while anti-white crimes are ignored. Besides, isn't the media all about reporting flukes? As they say in the news business, "Dog bites man" is not a story, but "Man bites dog" is. Or, to use another example, an airplane landing safely is not news — an airplane crashing is. So if these instances of anti-white violence were incredibly rare, that would be even more of a justification for covering them, not less. But these instances aren't rare. The statistics show this.
The book Hate Crimes: Criminal Law and Identity Politics is a revelatory study of the phenomena. It was coauthored by James B. Jacobs, who is the director of the Center for Research in Crime and Justice at New York University and a professor of law at the NYU School of Law, and Kimberly Potter, an attorney who was formerly a research fellow at the Center for Research in Crime and Justice. Published by Oxford University Press as part of their Studies in Crime and Public Policy series, its credibility is as impeccable as possible.
The loudly promoted "hate crime epidemic" in America is an illusion.
Jacobs and Potter examine many of the myths and problems surrounding the idea of hate crimes, showing, among other things, that the loudly promoted "hate crime epidemic" in America is an illusion. Hate crimes have never been more than a tiny fraction of overall violent crime, and the numbers have actually been holding steady or decreasing in recent years.22
The authors also reveal the surprising statistics regarding interracial crime. It turns out that 80 percent of violent crimes involve an attacker and victim of the same race. "For the 20 percent of violent crimes that are interracial, 15 percent involve black offenders and white victims; 2 percent involve white offenders and black victims; and 3 percent involve other combinations."23
These statistics include all instances of interracial violent crime, not just those labeled "hate crimes." To see the rates of anti-white and anti-black violence that have been categorized as hate crimes, one only needs to take a cursory look at the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports specifically on hate crime to see that blacks commit them at a higher rate than whites.24
According to the US Census Bureau's most recent projection (for Sept. 1, 2000), 82.2 percent of the US population is white, while 12.8 percent is black. If Hispanics are excluded from both counts, then the numbers are 71.4 percent white and 12.2 percent black.25
In the most recent year for which FBI data are available (1998), we see that there were 2,084 anti-black hate crimes committed by whites, and 567 anti-white hate crimes committed by blacks. Though the absolute number of anti-black crimes is 3.6 times as high as anti-white crimes, keep in mind that there are almost six times as many whites as blacks in the US. To get a true picture, we need to look at the proportional rates.
Eighty percent of violent crimes involve an attacker and victim of the same race.
If we divide each population by the number of crimes committed by individuals in that population, we see that there was one anti-black attack for every 94,436 white people, but one anti-white attack for every 59,172 black people. Thus, the rate of black-perpetrated hate crimes against whites is approximately 1.6 times higher than the rate of white-perpetrated hate crimes against blacks.
Looking at hate crimes involving death and rape tells an even starker story. In 1998 five white people were killed in hate crimes, while three black people were killed in the same period. During that year, four women of each race were raped as a result of racial hatred. If these incidents were occurring between the races at equal rates based on their populations, we'd expect to see six times as many blacks killed and raped by whites as the opposite. Yet we see an equal number of rapes and almost twice as many anti-white slayings.
How can we ever hope to bridge the racial divide if we won't even look at the hard facts of racism?
The Final Analysis
Although these publicly available but long-ignored facts are incendiary, the purpose of this article is certainly not to stir up even more racial animosity. There's already too much as it is. But how can we ever hope to bridge the racial divide if we won't even look at the hard facts of racism? Is anything good accomplished when one type of hate crime receives nationwide attention, while another type of hate crime — which occurs at higher rates — is swept under the rug?
It's obvious that the media, politicians, and civil rights groups have an agenda: They want to keep us ignorant of the realities of race relations. They present us with the completely untrue view that only white people commit hate crimes, or, if it must be admitted that blacks also commit hate crimes, they are seen as isolated incidents, bizarre anomalies that somehow don't qualify as hate crimes.
The reality of the situation is that we're all attacking each other. A look at the FBI's hate crime statistics will pry the scales from your eyes. Besides the figures already mentioned, you'll see that Native Americans and whites are attacking each other in equal numbers, blacks are attacking Asians, Asians are attacking Jews, multi-racial groups are attacking blacks, and on and on.
The issue of violent racial hatred is much more complex, universal, and disturbing than the simple-minded white-on-black paradigm that is universally touted.
People are even committing hate crimes against members of the same race. In 1998, for example, the FBI logged 123 hate crimes committed by whites against other whites, 64 by blacks against blacks, and a few by Asians against Asians and Native Americans against Native Americans. The reason for these apparently bizarre phenomena is that the "races" are not as monolithic as we commonly assume. They are divided into various ethnicities, nationalities, and other subdivisions, and these groups often hate each other.26 So it's not unheard of to have hate crimes between people of British and Italian descent (both considered white), between African Americans and Haitian Americans (both black), between people of Japanese and Korean descent (both Asian), or between members of different Native American tribes.
Clearly, the issue of violent racial hatred is much more complex, universal, and disturbing than the simple-minded white-on-black paradigm that is universally touted. We need to accept this fact as individuals, then pressure the media, politicians, and other opinion-makers to accept it, too, and start telling the sticky truth about the situation.

New Ergosign Headquarter in the "Quartier Eurobahnhof"
More Room for Creativity
Our new headquarter in the Quartier Eurobahnhof
Continuous Growth in Saarbrücken
With our new company building, we are making a bold statement for the "Quartier Eurobahnhof" and the city of Saarbrücken.
Our current company building (also in the "Quartier Eurobahnhof") was only in 2009 finished. However, due to our continuous growth, these headquarters have become too small.
After about one year of intensive planning, with the active inclusion of our peers, the construction work is running at full speed. With 1.850 sqm total usable area, the new building and its four floors will provide plenty of space. The new building has an innovative concept, developed in cooperation with the architects at "FloSundK" and the construction company OBG. Specially designed and built to support the agile working method of our teams by providing space for creative collaboration, in addition to a big forum for meetings or company events. For Ergosign it was important that modern building services, in compliance with newest KfW-efficient-house-standards (KfW 55), have been integrated. The investment currently amounts to 4,5 million Euros.
"The new building in the "Quartier Eurobahnhof" will form the basis for further growth of the Ergosign GmbH. This is our investment in the future of our employees, services, and to make digital reality manifest. With the new space at hand, we want to grow our teams – and are always looking for new talents", emphasize our directors Dr. Marcus Plach and Prof. Dr. Dieter Wallach.
Due to the stable growth of the company, the staff of the Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Zurich offices have also moved to bigger premises repeatedly during the last years. The new headquarters, which is located close to the current building, will be ready for occupancy by the middle of 2018.
We're already looking forward to packing our boxes! 😁 📦 💪

That Interval of Neglect: Undwelling on St. Louis Avenue
Michael R. Allen
Before Christmas, I boarded a train that carried me to verdant, Edenic New Orleans, where I soon found myself at the Antenna Gallery. Warm air currents and intermittent rainfall brought out the decadence of New Orleans architecture with careless splendor. The colors of clapboards were brighter, the grime on the sidewalk more fragrant, the plywood over empty window openings more tattered and insistent. Here was a city with its heart largely placed back in its chest, but still sporting the scars of its disaster.
The ripe and humid city was the perfect liminal transition between messy old St. Louis and the exhibition at Antenna Gallery I set out to see, Carlie Trosclair's (un)dwelling. Housed in a space of domesticity – a former dwelling turned gallery with well-appointed residency bedroom in the back – Trosclair's show contradicted its immediate surroundings while hunting past the gallery walls out to more kindred spaces.
It Must Be The Humidity, wallpaper, 24′ 8″ x 10′.
No visitor could escape the demanding scale of (un)dwelling. Photographic prints and photo cut-outs hung dutifully on the wall, but served only as comforting transition to some powerfully arresting elements. In the back, straight ahead of the main entrance, wallpaper hung in amorphous descent entitled It Must Be the Humidity. The wry title hints at the piece's determined veracity: this is what happens in buildings left to the elements.
On the other side of the wall, a long viewshed presented a mosaic of plaster fragments affixed to the wall, evoking city street grid as well as the fragile order of dying buildings; a folding screen of assembled window sash, whose panes may have been static save the applied cutouts that cast deep shadows; and, most blunt, a mattress cover bearing the prosaic rust stains of its former springs as well as moss growth. The mattress cover's verisimilitude was so clear that it escaped comparison or metaphor in my mind. There was a Duchamp-like absurd realism here, which played off of the fabricated elements of the plaster fragments and window sash. The three elements in the space hinted at the unknowing as well as the fervent projected psychological order that accompanies urban decay.
(un)dwelling installation view of Sheet Moss & Window Assemblage
I am not a casual observer of (un)dwelling, because I have been involved in some of the exploration that lead to works in the exhibition. Yet its assemblage startled me still, because it took me back to a very real place. Carlie Trosclair, friend, colleague and fellow explorer of the poetics of architectural decay, again brought me into new space. While her installation hung in New Orleans, however, a place we both cared about had died an unremarkable – and poignant – death in St. Louis.
2900 St. Louis Avenue in the JeffVanderLou neighborhood.
To see a building is to look upon what came before it and to project its destruction. The imminence of architectural material conjures a presence that is so immediate, that a building almost displaces itself in time simply by being built. Our minds can foresee the loss of any great work of architecture, not simply because of the phenomena of its existence, but because we can play and reply images of actual destruction.
In the United States, our popular visual history of architecture is full of warnings that speak in a harsh whisper: you could lose everything that you love. St. Louis' earliest buildings were washed away in a great fire in 1849, and what then became oldest again fell for the Gateway Arch grounds. The iconography of urban America repeats events where solid monuments fall to war, fire, terrorism or simple real estate capitalism. The recent past gets taught with images of the destruction of Beaux-Arts Penn Station in New York, the infant-aged tower at Pruitt-Igoe housing project felled by dynamite, airplanes smashing into the World Trade Center and the waters of Hurricane Katrina washing away vernacular houses older than many American states themselves.
Of course, American exceptionalism is nothing without its ability to destroy – and images of wanton destruction fulfill our myth better than the uncontained "energies of the outmoded," to borrow from the writings of Camilo Jose Vergara. Nowadays urban planners serve as the avant garde for real estate's destructive force, under the guise that public policy need to fold to "economic development." Destruction of architecture has been the byproduct of urban "renewal" since about the time of the 1949 United States Housing Act. Uprooting beauty is now one of the chief functions of city government.
Against the backdrop of public policy and investment capitalism that both render much of our urban building stock ephemeral, there is a strange unwillingness to absorb ruins. St. Louis seems to tolerate wanton destruction of buildings, but not the slow unraveling of building lifespans. Under-maintained buildings vex building inspectors, and vacant buildings drive elected officials to grand stands. We demolish buildings at will, and we proclaim that our new buildings solve important problems eternally, but we shudder at anything between these two contrasting states of tamed architecture.
In The Necessity for Ruins, J.B. Jackson wrote that for buildings, "there has to be that interval of neglect, there has to be discontinuity; it is religiously and artistically essential." Jackson was critiquing the social construct of the ruin rather than fully embracing it, but he offers a valuable theory: architectural decay produces its own cultural meaning that cannot otherwise be deduced. The ruin draws us to meaning and history by singling out what otherwise might be a recuperated part of the vernacular backdrop of daily life. As with a dystopian novel, a ruined building could well be a reflection on our own time better than an occupied one.
At the least, vacant buildings offer a third way for architecture to live, between sanctioned life and sanctioned death. In that life there dwells a wild architecture – an architecture that can kill itself off before human hands get to the task. Therein the ruined building confronts the myths of progress and frontier – it is a token in neither, but rather part of a counter-narrative that shows what spaces human settlement has not controlled.
The first day that I met Carlie Trosclair, we endeavored to explore abandoned buildings. I wanted to check up on some buildings whose preservation I sought, and attended to them to take detailed photographs and make notes of current conditions ahead of meetings and interviews. She was seeking something less prosaic, perhaps. Later I saw what Trosclair conjured from the expedition, but the look on her face at the time betrayed a plain and strong captivation.
After visiting an office building, I offered to show Trosclair a lone sandstone-faced house at the southwest corner of St. Louis and Glasgow avenues. She had commented on an earlier photo of its bizarrely appointed interior, and it fit her artistic investigation of deteriorating domestic spaces. Yet it unfolded into a larger puzzle: the house was a lopped-off remainder of a double house built in the late 1870s, and its flat roof concealed a staircase rising up to what must have been a third floor. The Italianate-style building looked like a townhouse, but actually was already a fragment.
St. Louis Avenue at Glasgow is not a forlorn setting, but a bridge between devastated blocks east and a very strong and dense cluster of buildings west to Grand. To the west, a mid-century church and the Columbia School face rows of intact single and multiple dwellings on the edge of the Lindell Park neighborhood. Here unfolds a complex north St. Louis. Here stands a vacant house owned now by Northside Regeneration LLC, the real estate juggernaut that has demolished or let fall dozens of historic houses. Perhaps the house was already dead when we arrived.
This house became the site for multiple visits. One day, when the sun was setting in a particularly golden way, I called Trosclair and told her that the light must be great in that house right now. We both converged there, and caught images of the place in new light. The forensics never ended: the house was chock full of the relics of its inhabitation over decades, as well as the story of its construction and alteration. Historical forces were knowable at this scale, and still intimidating.
Multiple visits provoked constant discussion of the righteousness of occupation (legality aside). With the rear entrance open and unmarked by warning, we knew that we could not be the only visitors. Yet the piles of burned couches and colorful clothing items never seemed to move. We dared not touch them. The wild heart of the house was not done beating, and reverence seemed key.
Any historian of architecture that begs permission to detect facts would be laid to rest having embodied that dismissive statement that architectural history exists to legitimize the profession of architecture. The historian of architecture does well to transgress all number of barriers between inquiry and the source of fact. The pursuit of facts about buildings entails investigation of their material reality – brick and mortar (buildings, fragments and such), blood and sweat (occupants and neighbors), paper and ink (design).
Perhaps the architectural ruin is not a frontier, it is an artifact. Its body inhabits the past tense, resisting succumbing to our drive for agency through the acts of redevelopment. If we admitted that some buildings were neither going to be rehabilitated nor replaced with any remarkable new building, we might grow to accept the liminal state of decay as something far better than the alternative of empty space. Yet somehow we are more reconciled to vacant land than vacant buildings. Land invites conquest, a simple myth, while buildings suggest repair, a complex and less identity-projecting endeavor.
Trespass is from the Old French trespas, meaning a passing across or transgression of the law. The use of trespass to denote unlawfully entering private property seems to have originated in the Acts of the Scottish Parliament c. 1455. The most famous usage may be in the Lord's Prayer, appearing first when William Tynsdale used "trespass" in his 1525 translation of Matthew. "Debt" is an equally common substitution in the prayer, and modern theologians sometimes insert "sin."
The word "sin" may be related to the Latin "sons," which means "guilty." While "trespass" in the Lord's Prayer denotes a moral transgression, "trespass" in the legal sense denotes a specific physical transgression. Exploration of a vacant house, without owner consent – even in the absence of a legally-significant "no trespassing" sign – is transgression. The morality of poking around abandoned buildings, however, is not absolute. If it were, so would be the morality of owning the buildings and letting them stay vacant. Despite my convictions on the need to conserve these buildings, I don't think that owning a vacant building is a sin.
Passive trespassing remains essential to understanding the full breadth of architectural life in a city. Trespassing is also a form of bearing witness to this fleeting wild life buildings flaunt before their ultimate disappearances. Perhaps Trosclair and I were as much keeping a vigil at the house on St. Louis Avenue as we were examining it for our own purposes. Yet our own purposes were complementary: Trosclair gave the house representation in a future, a precious gesture after demolition; my own evaluation showed that the house was sound and could be rehabilitated. Either act could have helped preserve the house – rescue it from both the death its owner inflicted and the "interval of neglect" that made it terrifying to neighbors. Instead both came far too late to extend the house's mortality.
City officials estimate that there are over 6,000 vacant buildings in St. Louis. The city loses more buildings every year than it builds back, causing the city to vanish at its edges perpetually. Vacant buildings disappear when they are perfectly sound (as with the Powell Square warehouse south of the Arch last year) or when they are down to piles of timber atop open foundation (as in north city's houses befallen by brick-theft).
City officials currently are considering funding the demolition of 2,000 vacant buildings at once, an operation that seems like willful amputation. The weight of public policy bears to erase houses like the house on St. Louis Avenue, in the name of progress. Progress that destroys architecture seems to soothe minds unhinged by the wilderness of ruins but perversely bolstered by the placeless ugliness of vacant urban lots.
Yet abandonment need not be a terror. Abandonment produces new architectural moments, as well as transition between uses. In the exhibition statement for (un)dwelling, Trosclair writes that: "In contrast to being classified as derelict, these works highlight each object and space as an ever-changing living organism as they unravel in liminal space, creating new systems and patterns of order and beauty."
In our habitations of the house on St. Louis Avenue, we bore witness to peculiar patterns of order and beauty that manifest as the house sat vacant. The chaos of discarded clothing and furniture, the eerie movement of crinoline curtains in dying sunlight, the slow peel of the paint from the front elevation – all of these elements allowed the house to live again, and again.
In November last year, a wrecking crew arrived on the site. I checked the city records, and Northside Regeneration LLC had successfully obtained a demolition permit. In a matter of days, the strange little house – and its potential to be reclaimed, even through pure capitalism – disappeared. Without formal demolition review, what seemed like a living treasure to those of us who set foot inside became a statistic of conquest. Demolition obliterated a certain number of vacant buildings in the city last year, and one of them happened to be at 2900 St. Louis Avenue.
Today, straw-strewn mud marks the spot where the house once stood. The adjacent church and school are vibrant, making this vacant lot a rather weird development proposition. Perhaps someday a fibrous and flimsy facsimile will rise to take the place of the house. By then, no passer-by could tell of the days of the double house, or the days of the families that lived there, or still of the days that the house stood as a liminal vestige.
Yet this stone-fronted house, this casualty of a city's changed composition and the myth of its rebirth, shall live through Trosclair's work and other documents created by explorers and former residents. Architecture's mortality shall be confirmed through image. The house was there, and we will know that forever.

If you can't start your diesel after a colder-than usual night, or if the engine is running rough and with low power, you might be experiencing fuel gelling. Read more about fuel gelling, how to prevent it and what to do about it if it occurs.
Cold weather can be hard on a diesel engine, but as temperatures plunge into the teens-below-zero, diesel owners must also deal with fuel gelling problems. Untreated diesel fuel will start to gel at just 32 degrees and be fully gelled around 15 degrees.
The term "gelling" means that the diesel fuel literally turns into a hard, paste like wax. This substance obviously cannot be pumped into fuel lines, pumps or injectors, so the vehicle will not run.
Most quality fuel stations will sell a "winterized" blend of diesel fuel in colder months, but, the ability of that fuel to resist gelling can vary widely. Like most things, it is better to take things into your own hands and use a fuel additive that has anti-gel properties. Good brands of fuel additives include Opti-Lube, Stanadyne and others like PowerService and Lucas. For instance, proper dosing of Opti-Lube Winter Formula should survive until -50F/-45C.
The other thing to pay attention to is your fuel filter. In addition to holding water, the fuel filter media holds contaminants that have been filtered out of the fuel. The more contaminants in the filter, the quicker the fuel will gel. That is why it is always a good idea to put in a new fuel filter every winter – a clean fuel filter will help limit the chances of gelling.
A dirty fuel filter, left, will gel easier than a clean filter, right.
While gelled fuel sounds bad, the good news is that diesel fuel will return to normal as soon as the temperature goes back up above the gel point. Pushing a vehicle into a garage and leaving it for a few hours is typically all that is required to fix the gelling problem. However, if the temperature is not expected to go back up or a heated space isn't available, there are some other things you can do.
There are a variety of products that can be added to a gelled tank that can help return the fuel back to its normal state. Products like Opti-Lube Gel Melt and Diesel 911 are designed specifically for gelled fuel. Simply add one of these to the tank, following the dosing instructions. You don't need to heat the tank or mix it. Depending on tank size and design, these can take some time to work. A big limitation is that the treated fuel in the tank they may not be able to reach gelled fuel that is not in the tank – like in fuel lines and filters.
Collection of fuel filters clogged with gelled diesel fuel.
If your fuel does gel in the filter, there are a few options. You can try carefully heating the filter with a heat gun or hair dryer. If the filter has a cap or a priming screw, try adding some of the Opti-Lube Gel Melt directly to the filter. If that doesn't work, or if your filter is sealed, you'll need to replace the filter – consider always having an extra fuel filter on hand in the vehicle. Pre-fill the filter with treated diesel fuel – or straight fuel additive – so that the treatment makes it to the fuel pump and lines quickly.
In short, preventing getting stuck with gelled fuel in your tank starts at the prevention stage by buying good quality diesel fuel and using a fuel additive, especially once the temperature drops below 32F. Being prepared means having a bottle of Gel Melt and an extra fuel filter in your vehicle at all times, just in case you get an untreated batch of fuel or temperatures drop lower than you had expected.

Innovation is not just about high technology
By Judith D. Perez Last updated Jun 28, 2021

Innovation is central to business competitiveness and economic growth. Thailand 4.0 is a comprehensive and ambitious strategy for improving economic performance through innovation-driven growth, supported by the National Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy and Plan (2012–2021).
The innovation strategy in Thailand 4.0 aims to develop advanced technologies and skills through cutting-edge research and development (R&D) and aims at high quality products and services. This is an essential prerequisite for strengthening productivity and international competitiveness. However, despite considerable efforts by successive governments, it has proven to be a challenge for Thai businesses.
While South Korea and Taiwan spend just under 4-5% of GDP on R&D, Thailand stayed at around 1%. In a recent study by the World Bank on innovation in East Asia, less than 15% of Thai companies say they have a product or service innovation, compared to 60% of Chinese companies. The relatively few Thai companies that are innovative cite the lack of appropriate management and leadership skills as a critical limitation.
The concept of innovation should go beyond dealing with new types of world novelties and related start-ups. For tangible results, it should build on the role of Thai companies in global industries and address underserved opportunities in emerging Asia.
Supplier innovation in value chains
Many Thai companies are well positioned as suppliers in global value chains such as automotive, electronics, IT and clothing. These firms can innovate within existing industries in order to develop competitive skills by specializing in certain levels or components of a value chain.
A company like the Italian Brenta can concentrate on design, prototype development and production engineering. It is a global leader in translating luxury shoe brand designs into products that can be produced efficiently and in large numbers.
Component innovation enabled two humble companies to completely transform the global bicycle industry. Shimano, a Japanese company from the city of Sakai in Osaka, is the dominant supplier of high-end transmissions; while Giant Manufacturing, a Taiwanese company from Taichung, is the leading supplier of stable and lightweight bicycle frames.
New ways of profitably manufacturing complex products from different components and materials can be an important, if not glamorous, basis for innovations. For example, Foxconn, the world's largest contract manufacturer and leading supplier to brands like Apple, has implemented process innovations to flexibly manufacture a range of products in the same location and on the same production lines to meet rapidly changing demand.
Innovation for Asian markets
Asia, particularly Asean, China and India, will account for more than half of global consumption growth by 2030. The growth in spending in these markets is being driven by the lower middle income (160,000–796,000 baht per year) and lower income households (below 160,000 baht).
This represents a huge "second tier", much of it in secondary cities and rural areas whose populations have high ambitions but cannot afford or need top quality products. Thai companies that can tailor products and business models to these consumers expect significant opportunities.
The concept of the corresponding innovation is aimed at this market. It starts with a deep understanding of specific market segments and knowledge of existing technologies. It focuses innovation on specific consumer needs, conditions, and constraints.
India's Vortex Engineering has developed an automated teller machine (ATM) to meet constraints in semi-urban and rural areas such as unreliable power supplies and high illiteracy rates. It is solar powered and uses only 10% of the energy of a conventional ATM; generates much less heat and eliminates the need for continuous air conditioning; and uses a fingerprint identification system. It costs less than half of conventional ATMs and is now used in Asia and Africa.
Embrace Innovations, founded by Stanford students from fieldwork in Nepal, produces baby incubators that are small, light, inexpensive to transport and can be disinfected in boiling water. They cost around $ 25 (795 baht) compared to $ 25,000 for traditional incubators and are now sold worldwide along with related products.
Reasonable innovation is also for large companies. GE has developed market-driven, easy-to-use electrocardiogram machines in India and China to meet local income, infrastructure, funding and service restrictions. Other related products have found niche markets in the US and Europe, leading to the creation of GE Healthymagination for underserved fringe communities worldwide.
Innovation management for results
Innovation related management skills are a critical limitation for Thai companies.
However, the ISO56000 standards for innovation management provide a practical framework for meeting this need. It is supported by more than 50 countries, including Thailand as an observer. It describes the most important steps for innovation management; to measure innovation performance; for strategic intelligence for innovation; for the management of intellectual property; and for building innovation partnerships.
For example, ISO56002 presents a results-oriented management system relevant to a wide range of innovation strategies, including products, service processes, from novelty to incremental innovations and for all types of organizations. It has been used by world leaders such as Bosch, IKEA, Siemens and Sony, as well as by governments. This is the most popular management standard for innovation in Japan today. Implementation of the ISO56000 series of standards can greatly enhance the innovation performance of Thai companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises.
A demand-side innovation approach underscores the key role of "breakthrough customer insights" alongside a focus on breakthrough technologies. Taiwan and Germany are examples of its success. They are not primarily aimed at creating new industries, but rather at innovation in established industries in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantages and world-leading exports. A broader perspective on innovation can complement the Thailand 4.0 strategy to strengthen the competitive performance of Thai companies in world markets.

Tips For Renting a Porta John near Duncannon, Pennsylvania!
Renting a porta potty might not be on the top of your mind on a regular basis, yet when you find yourself needing them you're going to want an education on what's involved in the process.A lot of people used a mobiles restroom at some time in their life, yet when the time comes to finally acquire one for an event, the process can bemore challenging than you would think.
Regardless if you're hosting an indoor or outdoor event, if you plan on having greater than a few dozen guests then you'll need to start considering portable toilet options. How formal your gathering will be, how many attendees will be attending and how long the event will be are the major factors determining what kinds of portable toilets you're going to require. Reading up on the business and the types of portable toilets they have available is sound advice before simply renting any old stalls.
First, think about the various porta potty choices that you'll be presented with when selecting a rental company. The two general selections for toilet rentals is porta potty stalls and entire toilet trailers. A good inquiry to ask your portable toilet company is what kind of hand washing options they have with their units and any options for lighting if your event will linger into the evening. Also, don't forget to inquire about how the toilets are serviced during particularly long gatherings, events in warm weather, and events with a large amount of attendees.
Your entry-level porta potty will be made of plastic, feature a single stall and will contain toilet paper along with some type of hand sanitizer . If you are looking to keep costs down, you could always use an outside sanitation station where guests can wash their hands after, which will save you the extra money of having to rent units with inside wash bins. As you might know already, porta potties don't have any plumbing, but rather they use chemicals to contain waste and are emptied afterwards . These chemicals are the blue liquid found at the bottom of a stall, and if you are renting long term, then you may want to ask about disposal and refill services.
Your anticipated guest size is going to be the most important factor in choosing the type and quantity of portable toilets to get. Most rental companies provide a basic chart for large crowd use, and typical construction sites will use approximately one portable toilet per ten workers each work week. Recommendations on how many porta potties you will require for your event will vary by supplier, but usually you will require at least two units for an 8-hour party with 50 people or less. Dozens of portable toilets could easily be required for bigger events such as concerts, sizable weddings or parties.
While choosing a porta potty you'll want to think about a range of options. The main aspects are the type of event, number of guests and how long you'll need the rentals for. You will want to remember that your gathering is going to require some setup regardless of the type of gathering you're planning, so it's important to ask your vendor how long they will need to set up the portable toilets and that way you can ensure they'll be ready in time for your guests. At larger occasions it's a good idea to opt for a special stall with handicap access to make sure all guests can utilize it if needed.
Besides the actual portable toilet units, you'll also need to ensure you have a good portion of paper towels and toilet paper handy in case your run out. Refill materials will include essentials like hand sanitizer, toilet paper and more paper products when guests are washing their hands. You may need to ensure that there are toilet paper refills available at all times, since the last thing you want at your special occasion is for someone to come up and tell you they require more essentials in the stalls.
Typically, porta potty prices could be anywhere from to 5 for one day. These fees might also vary depending on the company and time of year. The more upscale portable toilets can easily cost up to 0 per day, and if you want a fully loaded option you might be looking at spending as much as 0. Thinking about points such as fees, legnth of your rental and which amenities to go with are important when making a rental decision. As long as you have a general understanding of options as well as asking the right questions with your rental business, you can't go wrong and your event can go on smoothly.

IN THE LINE OF FIRE
Two heroes exchanged fire with Texas gunman and ran him off road as he fled killing him
Murderer Devin Kelley was shot by Stephen Willeford, it has been claimed. The shooter then 'bled out' after being run off the road by Willeford and fellow hero Johnnie Langendorff

Updated: 6 Nov 2017, 11:38
TWO brave locals stopped the Texas mass shooter by fatally wounding the "deranged" killer before running his getaway car off the road, it has been claimed.
Devin Kelley, 26, killed at least 26 worshippers in the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs before being confronted by crack-shot plumber Stephen Willeford, 55.

One local has claimed that a rifle-wielding Willeford managed to shoot Kelley in between his body armour, with the bullet piercing his side, reports the Mail Online.
Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman Martin also confirmed that the 55-year-old, known as an excellent shot in the small town, "grabbed his rifle and engaged the suspect".
The resident said that Willeford and fellow local Johnnie Langendorff jumped in the latter's truck and gave chase to Kelley – who had grabbed a hostage and had fled in an SUV.
But when Langendorff managed to run the depraved killer off the road, the pair of heroes realised that Kelley had bled out after earlier being shot by Willeford, claims the local.

The local told the Mail: "He was bleeding pretty bad. He didn't live much longer than that."
The man said that keen biker Willeford does not attend the First Baptist Church but was alerted to the shooting by his daughter.
While police said that evil Kelley had been found dead, they could not confirm whether the wound was "self-inflicted or if he was shot by a local resident".
Langendorff's girlfriend Summer Caddel described on Facebook how her partner had "chased that sick b*****d down in pursuit until the cops could catch up. He was able to run the shooter off of the road…"

Speaking with KSAT 12, Langendorff, who works at NAPA Auto Parts, said he was driving at 95mph while tailing Kelly as Willeford trained his gun on the SUV.
He said the mass shooter appeared to lose control of his car as he approached a sharp curve in the road crashing into a ditch.
Langendorff, of Seguin, Texas, said: "That's when I put the truck in park. The other gentleman jumped out, and had his rifle on him. He didn't move after that."
The pair stayed at the scene for "five to seven minutes" before police arrived.
Langendorff added: "I was strictly just acting on what's the right thing to do."
Both Langendorff and Willeford, who were not injured, have been hailed as heroes for their brave actions.
Devin Kelley, a former member of the US Air Force, burst into the church in Sutherland Springs in southern Texas, near San Antonio, yesterday while a service was taking place and opened fire on the congregation.

US President Donald Trump has described the 26-year-old killer as "deranged" saying a the shooting was a "mental health problem at the highest level", but not a "gun situation".
The 14-year-old daughter of the church's pastor and a pregnant woman were among those killed in the blood-soaked massacre in the quiet Texas town - which has a population of just 400.
The US Air Force confirmed Kelley served in its ranks from 2010 and was posted to its Logistics Readiness unit at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
He was court-martialed in 2012 on charges of assaulting his wife and child, and given a bad-conduct discharge, confinement for 12 months and a reduction in rank, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said.
The gunman was dressed in black, tactical-type gear and wearing a ballistic vest when he entered the church during the late morning service.

He fired a semi-automatic weapon into the congregation of about 50 during the middle of the service – stopping only to reload his gun.
Two officials said former serviceman Kelley, understood to be a married father, lived in a suburb of San Antonio and does not appear to have links to organised terrorist groups.
Kelley's now deleted Facebook page showed a photo of what appeared to be an assault rifle, posted under the words: "She's a bad b****."
The page also featured the Mark Twain quote: "I do not fear death."
