In the first half of digitisation, the USA and China have mercilessly left Europe behind. But nothing is lost yet: a plea for sovereign data infrastructures and a transformation to service-oriented value creation.
Europe is at a crossroads – once again. This time it is about nothing less than the preservation of the continent's sovereignty, at least in technological and economic terms. It is therefore not surprising that "Digital Sovereignty" is a focus topic of the German EU Council Presidency. Europe's largest economy exemplifies the current challenges in the midst of a global trade conflict and quasi-monopolies of American and Asian platform companies: because Germany's strength as the world's equipment supplier is under scrutiny.
Since the 1970s, the first wave of digitalization has been underway, characterized by the use of electronics and IT as well as the automation and standardization of business processes. It has been driven by exponential growth in performance parameters such as communication networks, memories and processors, which is typical for the IT industry. As a manufacturer of machines, plants, vehicles or process technology, Germany has benefited considerably from this. "Made in Germany" is a worldwide promise of quality. But for how much longer? Or to put it another way: How can we transfer this promise into the digital age?
The real and virtual worlds are merging, an Internet of things, data and services is emerging in all areas of work and life. Automated systems driven by artificial intelligence learn during operation and increasingly act autonomously, as collaborative manufacturing robots, robo-advisors or intelligent harvesters.
Europe is falling behind
Consumer platforms such as Amazon, Alibaba and Facebook have dominated the first half of digitisation. With the exception of the streaming service Spotify, Europe is hardly present in the B2C platform markets. The second half includes the industrial sector, both the digitisation and networking of production (Industry 4.0) and the expansion of products and services to include personalised, digital services (digital business models).
So far the stocktaking – what is still outstanding, however, is the comprehensive implementation, without which Europe will fall further behind in the global race. What levers are there for Europe to score points in the second half and thus maintain competitiveness and self-determination? Two aspects seem particularly important:
Without a sovereign data infrastructure
Once developed, software platforms have process costs that approach zero. This makes it easy to aggregate huge amounts of data, learn from data with Artificial Intelligence and use it to develop digital business models that can be scaled exponentially across countries and industries. Google's search engine with a 95 percent EU market share is an example of both innovation leadership and quasi-monopoly. In order to gain sovereignty over data and data infrastructures, digital sovereignty is needed: from hardware and software components to communication networks, cloud infrastructures, data rooms and platforms.
European efforts such as the policy- and business-driven project "GAIA-X" deserve broad support, even if success is by no means certain. Self-determination does not mean self-sufficiency or the exclusion of dominant competitors. On the contrary: Europe's path must be determined by diversity, openness and decentralization, not by isolation. A glance at the regional distribution of medium-sized world market leaders is enough to understand that Europe's technological and entrepreneurial pound is not in the hands of a few large companies.
Germany has domain expertise
Appropriately, Europe should focus on building open digital ecosystems based on a common reference architecture and defined standards, enabling technological interoperability, providing distributed cloud and edge services and relying on European values such as trustworthiness, security, privacy and fairness. In the industrial sector, the race is still open, since production-strong and product-centric countries like Germany have domain expertise and industrial data such as machine, process, user and product data to which hyperscalers like Google and Amazon have so far had only limited access.
But to achieve sovereignty, Europe needs access to the cloud and data infrastructures, whether in the mechanical engineering or mobility sector. And it needs European regulation as well as state and companies as active consumers of European technology and business offerings. To do so, they must be secure, high-performance, cost-effective and competitive. A high standard! However, if Europe chooses the passive path, this endangers economic competitiveness, entrepreneurial freedom and, in the medium term, our prosperity.
Value creation shifts in favour of the platform operators
We know from the consumer world that investor-financed technology start-ups attack established business models in all domains, act as a platform operator between supplier and customer, define rules, standards and interfaces and benefit from network and economies of scale. As a result, value creation shifts in favour of the platform operators, traditional providers of products and services are degraded to suppliers. Operating and controlling platforms and marketing digital products and services on them is therefore a core prerequisite for Europe's survival in a digital economy.
Since no single company in the industrial environment has the know-how and data to be successful in the digital age, digital value-added networks are the solution. The "Learning Systems" platform, led by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and acatech, recently highlighted a dozen success stories of digital ecosystems in Germany. One example shows how resilient manufacturing is created when machine builders can minimize production stops with the help of IoT and AI service providers by means of data-based prediction.
Process optimization is scalable
If the machine nevertheless comes to a standstill, a contingency insurance policy is taken out. In an Industry 4.0 logic, this creates a flexible production line that almost never stops and is therefore even more profitable. And: This process optimization including the digital business model is scalable and does not remain an isolated solution. Another example shows how agricultural APPs and IoT platforms enable cross-manufacturer data exchange with agricultural machinery, even if farmers and contractors use machines from different manufacturers.
The entire vehicle fleet can thus be optimized via one platform. This reduces complexity and enables medium-sized technology leaders for sensor systems, seeds or harvesting machines to scale in a trustworthy platform environment without having to take a greater entrepreneurial risk in building their own platforms.
Europe must speak with one voice
Many more such examples are needed – and they are also emerging in federal Europe. The realization is there, after all. But: In order to play an important role in the world, Europe should not only become faster, but should also speak with one voice, whether in enforcing a level playing field or in international standardization.
Completing the digital single market is also important to enable what China and the US have ahead of us: huge consumer markets in which domestic providers can scale. Europe is at a digital crossroads. Let us take the fork in the road to self-determination!

Publication: The crisis, our freedom and our money

Unlimited availability of our money and its ability to be used as a medium of exchange create certainty and lead to personal freedom. But which payment method is proving to be the most robust in any crisis? A reflection on the value of cash in a free society.
By Jochen Werne, Management Board member, Chief Development & Chief Visionary Officer (CDO/CVO) of Prosegur Cash Services Germany GmbH
In times when our life is being affected significantly by the effects of the situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, we become more aware of the basic needs in our lives. However, the COVID-19 crisis, which hits us globally so hard that we are even prepared to give up some of our civil rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution, also reveals what certainty means and gives us and what we rely on in order to overcome a crisis and regain our freedom.
We live in a world of exponential leaps in technology – and the technological progress has traditionally always resulted in a global improvement in living standards. The international community can be rightly proud of its achievement of reducing the percentage of people who have to live in absolute poverty from 35% to 8% in the last 30 years thanks to global trade. However, it is in times of crisis that we see just how sustainable the goals that have been achieved are. Here prudent and decisive action from political and business leaders is called for. Confidence gained in people and instruments is the greatest asset in times of uncertainty.
Cash: always available
The same applies for payments. While the independent good work over decades of many central banks such as the Deutsche Bundesbank, the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve is making itself noticeable in the crisis and the citizens rely on the stability of the euro and US dollar, cash is also showing itself to be an anchor of confidence in uncertain times. With growing concerns due to the coronavirus, in the USA for example the volume of physical cash in circulation has increased. In the week before 25 March this increased by 1.8% to 1.86 trillion dollars in absolute figures. This represents the biggest weekly increase since December 1999, when the fear of the so-called Millennium Bug was the reason for the rise. As we see today, the technological meltdown did not happen. However, 20 years later we are now more aware than ever of the vulnerability of technology and that in times of crisis the value of certainty is always the greatest asset. The increase in demand for cash, including in Germany, at the start of the corona crisis is probably attributable to this legitimate need of citizens for certainty and their great confidence in cash. According to the Bundesbank, the volume on Monday 16 March alone, the first day upon which schools and nurseries were closed, was 0.7 billion euros above the average.
Electronic payment methods, which are essential in so many areas such as online trading for example, repeatedly risk a loss of confidence due to technical failures. One of the most recent of these incidents occurred during of all times the Christmas shopping period on 23 December 2019, when EC card payments were no longer accepted at many terminals. It is a little like the situation described by the Roman poet Ovid: "People are slow to claim confidence in undertakings of magnitude." Most certainly our savings – the fruit of our labour – are of this magnitude for us. It is for this reason that the availability of our money is so important. If this availability were restricted, we would start to feel that we might no longer be able to access our money, and a bank run would most likely be the result.
It is not without reason that the "supply of cash" is expressly defined as a "critical service" in Section 7 of the Regulation on the Identification of Critical Infrastructures (BSI-Kritisverordnung – BSI-KritisV) of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). That is to say a "service to supply the general public […], the loss or impairment of which would result in significant supply shortages or risks to public security."
Certainty in uncertain times
In the COVID-19 crisis, anxiety about health and the economic consequences of any crisis dominate our daily life. While fear is clearly caused by an external threat, anxiety is indeterminate. As the Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus wrote in his Enchiridion of stoic morals: "People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them."
It was therefore also absolutely consistent that the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Central Bank, the Bundesbank and the Robert Koch Institute have been stressing repeatedly in the corona crisis that there is no documented case that would suggest there would be an increased virus risk due to the use of cash as opposed to card payment. They refer here to corresponding scientific studies and underline repeatedly that no information on such a risk has been documented.
Freedom established by the constitution
John Stuart Mill, one of the most successful liberal thinkers of the 19th century, defined freedom as the "first and strongest desire of human nature." Accordingly, all governmental and social action must be directed towards granting the individual free development, while his freedom, as Mill formulates it in a principle known as the "principle of freedom," may be limited under one condition: to protect himself or another person. Now, during a serious crisis, all citizens are forgoing some of their fundamental constitutional rights of freedom. This massive intervention is certainly consistent with Mills' theory in this time of corona. In his novel The House of the Dead, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky describes his own experiences of life in a Siberian prison camp and writes the subsequently oft-quoted sentence: "Money is coined liberty," whereby he describes the vital relevance of a free exchange of goods in an environment where people are deprived of freedom – with cash in the form of coins.
Although not in the same way as Dostoevsky, we are also living in a time of extreme change: on a social, economic and political level. We are living in a time when, due to exponential technological developments, whole industries and business models are changing radically and countries are competing for supremacy in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is a time in which transformation is the new norm and an agile corporate culture has to be the key to success. It is currently the case in many traditional industries that "anything that can be digitised, will be digitised."
And inevitably this also raises the question of whether this is also the case for the first "instant payment" solution, one of the earliest and longest-lasting achievements of human civilisation – for our cash?
Our current free choice of payment method is certainly good, as long as we can choose freely as consumers the payment method appropriate for the respective situation. Discussions about the possible restriction of the freedom of choice of citizens regularly prompt intellectuals to issue warnings. For example, the poet Hans Magnus Enzensberger is of the opinion regarding the issue of "restriction": "Those who abolish cash, abolish freedom." This opinion is also shared by Carl-Ludwig Thiele, a former member of the Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank: "Abolishing cash would hurt consumer sovereignty — the free choice of citizens about their payment instruments […] Government agencies do not have the right to tell citizens how they should pay."
Technological vulnerability, fall-back option and data protection
Particularly in extreme scenarios such as disasters, failures of a digital infrastructure due to cyber attacks, natural events or simply due to technical failure, it is made clear that cash, by its nature, is currently the most robust payment method. The fact that the contactless payment limit has been increased without further ado, for example in supermarkets, at first sounds harmless. However, as a result, anyone can pay for higher-priced goods using a card, and it does not have to be their own card, without any further security checks such as entering a PIN. Everyone has to examine and question critically for themselves the possible consequences of such a payment method.
Also not to be disregarded is the issue of data protection. More cashless payments also mean more personal information disclosed by everyone. Data which numerous companies use for commercial purposes. At the latest since the introduction of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), the sensitivity of the population of Europe with regard to data protection and privacy has been rising gradually.
Klaus Müller, Germany's top consumer protector and Executive Director of the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (vzbv), describes cash as "data protection in practice". Anyone who pays with cash does not leave any traces to create a consumer profile, purchasing and payment behaviour cannot be manipulated. Cash also helps to protect financial privacy. This was emphasised by Udo Di Fabio, who was a judge of the Federal Constitutional Court for twelve years, at the Cash Symposium 2018 hosted by Deutsche Bundesbank. He explained that every citizen can dispose freely of their money. In his view this freedom would be restricted if financial management were completely digitised.
Smart cash management alleviates the workload of banks
Crises such as the current corona pandemic always bring to light new approaches and act as accelerators of transformation processes that have already been set in motion. With regard to cash-related industries, the banking world has already been in a transformation process for some time. A company such as Prosegur, which, with over 4,000 employees and 31 branches, is a market leader in Germany in the transportation of cash and valuables, is increasingly becoming a full payment-platform provider. Several banks have already taken the path of fully outsourcing their cash management for synergy and cost-saving reasons. Here, cash processes are becoming not only much leaner, but also more cost-effective. This is the case not only for banks, but also for retail customers. With smart machines installed by Prosegur at its customers, cash can be disposed of directly and credited to the customer account on the same day. The smart infrastructure, including dynamic monitoring and forecasting, optimises the logistics and reduces costs in cash logistics. This is the next step towards an efficient, digital and integrated cash management.
Coined Liberty 2.0 and the justification for and rightfulness of cash
In view of the technological progress and the associated social changes, it can be seen that key values from the human perspective are still valid. Based on an intellectual, serious discussion, the relevance to today of the theories of for example Dostoevsky with his experiences in an unfree society is clear: The discussion about the civil rights and liberties of citizens is always very closely related to their ability to use cash freely, to their freedom of choice of payment method and ultimately to the rightfulness of their actions with regards also to effiency and impact.
Our open and liberal society is characterised by the fact that we are discussing and most certainly will continue to discuss "Coined Liberty 2.0" at this level.

Countdown 111d: Expedition BLACK SEA DRAGON enters into hot preparation phase
Jochen Werne March 8, 2020	No Comments Antarctic BlancBlack SeaBlack Sea DragonBulgariadiplomacyDiplomatic SalonEuropeGlobal Offshore Sailing TeamgostInternational RelationsInternational Understandingpeoplepeoples diplomacyTurkey
Black Sea expedition fosters international relations by connecting people and their cultures
GOST's adventurous 2020 expedition BLACK SEA DRAGON (www.BlackSeaDragon.com) will depart on June 27 from the famous Bulgarian Black Sea harbour and home of the country's Naval Academy, Varna.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: By combining TRADITION and FUTURE in today's hyper-connected world, the initiators of the expedition will bring together people and sailors from around the world to commemorate peacefully not only the great seafarers and explorers of all times – who were the first to unite our nations and people around the globe – but also to raise awareness and sensitise civil society to the importance of our MARITIME ECOSOCYSTEM with regard to the UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS. Together with all partners, new relations will be created between sailors, states and academic officials in support of international understanding and peaceful relations.
COMMEMORATION: In international waters the expedition yacht crews will remember the Black Sea sailors of all nations who lost their lives while being on duty with a wreath laying commemoration ceremony on sea.
CHALLENGE: In just one leg the yachts will challenge each other from their home base to the Northern entrance of the Bosphorus. There the yachts will unite to pass the strait southwards to their Marmara Sea destination, the famous Mega Yacht Marina Ataköy near Turkey's biggest city Istanbul.
Jochen Werne
Co-Founder GOST & Expedition Leader
"It's a great privilege commanding the flag ship of Expedition "BLACK SEA DRAGON" during this offshore challenge through the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea and hence crossing twice one of the planet's most challenging waterways: the Bosphorus. While in Greek mythology Jason and his team of Argonauts challenged clashing rocks in the strait, the dedicated international sailors of the Global Offshore Sailing Team will be challenged by today's busy ships traffic, the famous powerful 4 to 6kn current and strong funnelling wind effects."
Guido Zoeller
Co-Founder GOST
"Expedition BLACK SEA DRAGON will mark another milestone in the history of the Global Offshore Sailing Team. After missions on nearly all oceans of this planet, the Black Sea is an outstanding challenge for 2020. Fostering international relations in this historically rich region will be a great pleasure."

Preparing for the second half of digitisation.
A plea from Johannes Winter & Jochen Werne
1st published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt on January 8, 2020 – translated by DeepL.com. Photos: Pixabay
Looking at the world sometimes gives the impression that things seem to be much better outside Europe. Examples? The world's largest airport, Beijing-Daxing, goes into operation after four years of construction, while at BER, construction continues after 13 years. The coffee house chain Luckin Coffee, valued at $4.5 billion, will replace Starbucks as No. 1 in the Chinese market by the end of the year, two years after its foundation. Digital platform companies such as Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Tencent & Co. have left the traditional commodity and industrial groups behind in terms of value.
What made these American and Asian companies so big? Absolute willingness to implement at high speed, massive state and private investments, sometimes industrial policy intervention, huge, scalable domestic markets and a just-do-it mentality favour economic and technological development alongside a number of other factors.
Is Europe, on the other hand, in a downward spiral? Is the continent now losing the much-discussed second half of digitisation, which is mainly about the digitisation of industry, now that the B2C race seems to be lost?
The recent history can also be told in a different way. The financial crisis of 2008/2009 has shown how valuable Europe's and especially Germany's strong industrial core is. A highly specialised, excellent SME sector and the leading groups from mechanical, plant and vehicle engineering to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries are anchors of stability. With Industry 4.0, the vision for the future of value creation comes from Germany, and there is a worldwide competition for its widespread introduction.
The strength lies in product innovation, especially in complex products such as machine tools, medical devices, vehicles or building services engineering. Germany also has world market leaders in engineering and in production and automation technology. Despite all the negative predictions, Germany has further expanded its strength in networked physical platforms with the integration of IoT, data and services in industrial environments and has secured a very good starting position. The German research landscape also holds an internationally good position in areas critical to success such as semantic technologies, machine learning and the digital modelling of products and users. And let's not forget that the companies in the country have produced outstanding software products for the fast, reliable and scalable processing of big data and the integration of business processes.
While Germany wants to consolidate its pioneering position as the world's supplier, the USA is relying on its expertise as a global networker and China is relying on short decision-making paths, capital intensity and a large domestic market in which it can scale quickly. In this situation, it is important that we concentrate on our strengths and resolutely tackle the digitization of industry and SMEs. However, this requires a much faster entry into the emerging B2B platform markets.
In Europe, we stand for a liberal value system, both economically and politically, which, as in the past, has proven to be the decisive differentiating factor in the medium and long term. The debate on the use of data is conducted in Europe in good tradition at an extremely high level and this in the good understanding that digitisation is not coming over us, but is made by people and is intended to serve them.
It is therefore the right moment to take a decisive step towards the future and to open up Europe's path. To do this, we need a large, homogeneous domestic market that will make us almost competitive with the USA and China. We also need substantial investment in digital infrastructure and cybersecurity, as well as training and further education. Both competitive regions currently have the power to set standards in digitization as well. The goal of the European Union to create a single digital internal market is laudable, but final implementation is still pending. This implementation, however, is the important and very concrete next step in order to be able to achieve the competition-relevant scaling effects and to be able to play a competitive role in data-based business model innovations.
The second half is running and nothing is lost.

The king of all geeks thinks the would-be king of all Super PACs is about to watch his house of campaign cards implode, which could actually lead to something of a Tea Party resurgence.
Karl Rove has declared war on the Tea Party with his Conservative Victory Project. But Nate Silver just came out to explain — with math! — why Rove's project is mostly doomed. Rove's so-called "No More Akins" campaign has angered other conservative commentators for more or less stabbing the Tea Party in the back. But after a week of internal rancor, Silver's takedown is based on numbers and analysis. No surprise there, except that Silver actually thinks Rove's group could help the Tea Party. Somebody tell Steve King: the king of all geeks thinks the would-be king of all Super PACs is about to watch his house of campaign cards implode, which could actually lead to something of a Tea Party resurgence.
Suppose, for example, that the establishment candidate has raised $3 million and the insurgent candidate $500,000, a six-to-one advantage for the establishment candidate. Mr. Rove's group intervenes and contributes $1 million to the establishment candidate, bringing him to $4 million total. In response, the insurgent candidate raises $500,000 through grass roots groups, bringing her to $1 million total. Despite the absolute difference between the candidates' fund-raising totals having increased, the ratio has declined to a four-to-one advantage for the establishment candidate from six-to-one previously, arguably leaving the insurgent candidate in better shape than before the fund-raising salvos.
The gap between the Tea Party and the establishment closes because Rove intervenes. So, good luck with your plan, Mr. Rove. By our count, Silver is now 2-0-1 against Mr. Rove.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has hit back at his critics, labelling Newcastle a "wee club" and their manager a hypocrit.
Pardew says the Man United boss should have been punished by the FA for confronting referee Mike Dean during United's Boxing Day win over Newcastle.
Ferguson was angry with Dean's decision to allow a Jonny Evans own goal to stand during the 4-3 win at Old Trafford.
But today, he claimed Dean handled the situation with maturity and blasted both the media and Pardew for their reaction.
"I was demonstrative but I was not out of order," he said.
"There was no ranting or raving from me. I was demonstrative. I am always demonstrative. Everyone knows that. I am an emotional guy. That doesn't mean to say I was abusive and I was not out of order.
"The problem for me is that the profile of this club is huge. It is unfortunate but I am the manager of the most famous club in the world. Not Newcastle, a wee club in the north east.
"Alan Pardew has come out and criticised me. He is the worst at haranguing referees. He shoves them and makes a joke of it. How he can criticise me is unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way."

ISSOS was started with one clear mission: To create a safe place for people to learn and grow.
In 2005, ISSOS was established by Jen Munro, a St Andrews University Graduate, who after working as a summer camp counselor in the USA, realised she wanted to provide students from all over the world, with a balanced summer program. The quote above was handed to Jen by a child when she worked at camp and Jen realised she wanted to create a place where young people felt safe and could learn from one another.
Listen to Jen Munros TedX talk on some of the values that underpin issos and the story that started it all.
St Andrews was the obvious choice for the first summer school due to its safe location and historical setting. The first session of ISSOS took place in 2006, with 50 students.
In 2011, with growing demand for the format of summer program, the international mix of students and the selection of academics and electives offered, ISSOS Cambridge was launched at Queens' College at Cambridge University. ISSOS established two amazing UK based homes in St Andrews and Cambridge universities, both chosen due to their safe location and world renowned reputations.
Students have always been at the heart of everything we do and we have listed to feedback from students, parents and teachers to develop all aspects of the company, fast becoming recognised as one of the top International Summer Schools.
In 2016 we launched our third campus at Yale University in the USA. Having spent time talking with students and parents who wanted to experience and American University and who constantly requested that there was an ISSOS in the USA we decided to look for a safe, historic, world renowned location and we found it at Yale University. Taking our most popular academics and electives and making sure we had a balanced summer school staff, a mix of American and British staff we launched Yale in July 2016 with a Kilted piper at the front of Trumbull College to welcome students, many of whom were returning to ISSOS for the third time but the first time in the US.
Staying true to our Scottish roots we have some unique ISSOS traditions that exist in all our campuses; Students and staff join a Scottish clan and compete over three weeks in their clans, we run Scottish Dancing as an evening program, students are welcomed by a piper and we always pipe in a Haggis on the final night for dinner.
ISSOS has grown significantly since 2005, attracting students from over 70 nationalities to each session and catering to over 600 students. Every year, students and staff talk of ISSOS as being a family, and that's what we're looking to develop and maintain: an international family where friendships span the world.
ISSOS is a values-led company and has a core set of values that run through everything we do. One of our most important assets is our people and we endeavour to find the best people to work with us every year. As we grow, we are committed to offering the highest level of service and quality product. It is imperative that whilst doing this, we have fun, making sure everyone associated with ISSOS, has The Experience of a Lifetime.
"We work together, We play together, We live and grow together, We are the ISSOS International Family"

The Korean word allida (ah-lee-dah) means to inform, announce, or make known. Allida seeks to "make known" stories by creators whose perspectives have too often been ignored or undervalued and whose voices are essential for giving young readers a richer understanding of our shared world. The children's book world is experiencing a new sense of excitement as opportunities for inclusion increase—a change made possible by visionaries who worked in relative obscurity for decades. Allida's goal is to sustain that change and nurture further equity and inclusion by encouraging marginalized writers and artists to create stories they are passionate about. This emphasis on creator-led stories mirrors Linda Sue Park's own journey as an author. Over a 20-year-plus career, she has written picture books and novels; contemporary and historical stories; realism and fantasy; poetry and prose. Her protagonists often share her Korean American ethnicity—but not always, and her focus has been to write as well as she can on subjects about which she cares deeply. The result has been books that consistently earn both critical acclaim and commercial success, and, most importantly, are fiercely adored by countless young readers.Allida builds on that model by supporting creators from marginalized communities whose work defies expectations. Simply put, Allida believes that when artists draw from their most intense enthusiasms, kids get great books.

Stephen King says this remote island in Maine is worthy of a novel
Once upon a time there was an island in Maine for sale, but only to those who could handle it.
We often joke about wanting to escape and live remotely on your own island away from others, but do you think you could actually pull it off?
This special Duck Ledges Island is only for those who can truly handle being alone, aren't afraid of dangerous storms, and can handle the lack of a septic tank.
Living on this remote island would be so intense that Stephen King thinks it would be a killer novel.
Duck Ledges Island in Maine is not suitable for "man or beast" in the winter
Located just a 10-minute boat ride from Jonesport's public marina, a small 1.5-acre island cottage was listed for sale for just $339,000. A woman from New Jersey bought it, but she had to earn the royalties for her offer to be considered.
The rustic private island was once owned by Billy Milliken, who owned it from 2007 until recently, as shared by Insider.
Many offers were presented to Milliken well beyond the asking price, but a different kind of price came in to take ownership of the island.
To even be considered the new owner, Milliken required that anyone wishing to buy the island must be able to spend a night alone in the small cottage.
A woman from New Jersey had what it takes.
A New Jersey woman buys Duck Ledges Island in Maine
As she shares the article, Charlotte Gale went through the test and spent some time alone in the cottage before making the purchase.
Milliken took her by boat to the island and shared with Insider that she suspected she was the one carrying nothing but a waterproof backpack over the others who packed their bags and suitcases.
Living on a remote island is not for everyone, and the cottage is not even habitable from October to May due to "dangerous storms".
Imagine yourself alone on an island in the ocean in the dark with waves crashing around you, sitting on 1.5 acres of land just 20 feet from the water's edge.
Not everyone would be able to handle it.
Stephen King comments on the exciting remote island of Maine
In response to the YahooNews post about the island for sale, the horror and sci-fi author (and Mainer!) Stephen King tweeted: "There is a novel here, just waiting to be written."
One could certainly write a spooky novel about a remote cabin at sea, even if Gale's situation doesn't seem all that scary. She shared with Insider that she plans to grow a garden around the island and says it's her place she's happy with her and she loves being alone.
While I'd probably feel the same way on my own island, I can also see the scary parts of being in the ocean just 20 feet from the crashing waves all alone in a 540 square foot cottage.
The article said King's reps didn't respond to a request for comment, but it would be a great book.
I don't read scary stuff, but I would definitely read it.

1. OMRON Taiyo/Taiyo no ie
Taiyo no ie, a social welfare organization, set up training facilities in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, Aichi Prefecture, and Kyoto for the purpose of integrating people with disabilities into society.
Through an alliance with Taiyo no ie, OMRON established Japan's first factory designed for workers with various physical handicaps, OMRON Taiyo Co., Ltd., in Beppu, Oita P
"No one is so disabled as to be unable to work at all. The people who work here are not patients but employees, and their sponsors are our investors." This is the philosophy upon which Dr. Yutaka Nakamura established Taiyo no ie. He was joined by OMRON founder Kazuma Tateisi, who introduced the motto "At work for a better life, a better world for all" as an embodiment of his credo that companies as a public servant contributing to society through its business activities.
This revolutionary thinking and the sympathetic resonance from the philosophies of these two individuals, with cooperation from welfare organizations, people with disabilities and private companies, lead to the creation of OMRON Taiyo and OMRON Kyoto Taiyo.
Taiyo no ie Motto
"No one is so disabled as to be unable to work at all."
