Home Economy Asia to take major FDI hit from global coronavirus outbreak
Asia to take major FDI hit from global coronavirus outbreak
March 9, 2020 | 1:00 am
THE OUTBREAK of coronavirus, formally known as Covid-19 is expected to dampen foreign direct investment (FDI) activity, with significant effects largely concentrated in China, East Asia and Southeast Asia.
According to a study from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) released Friday, the global downside impact on FDI will be between 5% to 15% relative to earlier forecasts.
"The impact on FDI will be concentrated in those countries that are most severely hit by the epidemic, although negative demand shocks and the economic impact of supply chain disruptions will affect investment prospects in other countries," the report said.
The 2019 world investment report had earlier predicted a 5% increase in global FDI flows in 2020-2021.
The Covid-19 impact on investments is expected to be concentrated in countries that have needed to take significant measures to contain the virus. The outbreak, the report said, will slow capital expenditure by multinationals and their foreign affiliates.
"Production locations that are closed or that operate at lower capacity will temporarily halt new investment in physical assets and delay expansions."
Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. economist Michael L. Ricafort said in a mobile message Sunday that FDI flows are likely to slow in Asian countries, as the coronavirus adds to existing adverse effects of the US-China trade tensions.
"However, there could be further redistribution of FDI flows to other ASEAN/Asian countries such as the Philippines, in a more positive context, as part of the process to further and better hedge the supply chains of some global/multinational companies."
He said that the companies may redirect FDI to avoid disruptions to global supply chains in the future, as concentration in a few Asian countries leads to more vulnerability.
The report said greenfield investment projects will also be affected, but the immediate impact on existing investments will more likely be limited.
New greenfield investment and mergers and acquisition activity could see delays.
Covid-19 is expected to affect market-, efficiency-, and resource-seeking investments. The immediate market demand effect is in China, with the report citing a 70% drop in Toyota sales in China in February.
FDI projects in extractive industries could also see delays globally, alongside impacts on tourism and retail.
In terms of efficiency-seeking investment, the initial effects will show up in China and East and Southeast Asia production facilities . But the report said this could rapidly spread outside the continent through the global value chain.
Lower profits by foreign affiliates of multinational enterprises (MNE) will also translate to lower reinvested earnings.
Top MNEs have reported earnings downgrades caused by Covid-19, with the biggest impact seen in automobiles and auto parts (44% average earnings revision), as well as airlines (42%).
"The most significant negative revisions in the automotive industry come from parts producers based in the most affected areas in South East Asia."
Basic materials and energy companies also have issued average earnings revisions of 13%.
Mr. Ricafort said that the passage of the tax reform bill lowering corporate income tax and rationalizing fiscal incentives, as well as moves to ease foreign ownership limits, will help make the Philippines more attractive to FDI.
The UNCTAD report said that the negative impact on FDI will be driven by delayed investment after the initial global demand shock, with significant impact also seen on industries dependent on the global value chain.
"As such, the Covid-19 outbreak will potentially accelerate existing trends of decoupling… and reshoring driven by the desire on the part of MNEs to make supply chains more resilient."
Union Bank of the Philippines chief economist Ruben Carlo Asuncion said in a mobile message Sunday that the Philippines should be ready to receive redirected FDI.
"Reforms should continue to help the Philippines to be ready. FDI will move where they think they will have (an) advantage. Covid-19 is an opportunity as companies realize their over-concentration in China," he said.
"Government should continue to initiate and get our act together during these extraordinary times." — Jenina P. Ibañez

Q&A: Disability benefits may be approved more quickly with an attorney
The Social Security Administration's disability benefit system is currently heavily backlogged. Simply applying and hoping to attain benefits may leave many claimants in limbo for months, if not longer.
While hiring an attorney will not guarantee disability benefits, Harold Conick of the Law Offices of Harold W. Conick and Associates has been helping people get benefits for more than 30 years and knows his way around the system. We asked Mr. Conick a few questions about how hiring an attorney could help an applicant get their benefits quickly.
Q: How slow is the SSA's process without an attorney?
Conick: It's probably the same process, there's really no distinction. But where the attorney adds value is the ability to narrow the issues concerning what is keeping the claimant from working and supplying evidence to support that. This might help to speed things up. We can also write memorandums requesting an early decision citing significant medical evidence on disability law applicable to medical evidence.
Regular people just aren't going to know to do that. They'll fill out the forms, they'll answer the questions on the forms, but that may not be enough to get them benefits quickly.
Q: What do you do as counsel to make things easier and better for applicants?
Conick: Direct them to treating medical sources so they can get additional opinions to support their claim for disability. I also suggest that hey see a specialist to give reports on their condition that might be supportive of disability claims. We may get an expert to give an opinion; it might even be their own treating physician. Doctors don't always give you the evidence that you need on your own. Sometimes you have to ask questions of them to get what the court wants.
Q: What can a client expect when working with you?
Conick: Zealous advocacy. Through preparation. Expeditious processing of their claim.
Q: Does approval come easier with counsel?
Conick: It has been shown through statistics kept by SSA that claimants have a better chance of prevailing with a lawyer rather than on their own. Preparing the evidence, trying to gather all the evidence and presenting it in a way that supports their case is what we're supposed to be doing as lawyers.
Q: With or without an attorney, there will likely be a wait for benefits due to the backlog. What can people do for money?
Conick: That's a problem. Hopefully their family supports them. They can end up using their resources up, including credit and savings. Sometimes they get unemployment, sometimes they have a pension. But if they're on their own. there's no help from the government usually. It does definitely interfere with the ability of the person to wait for the benefits It's a catch-22; they can't work but they've run out of resources. The backlog is hard on them.
Q: Anything else to know?
Conick: Once somebody gets to the point of the hearing, it takes the judge about 30 to 60 days to make a decision. There then may be appeals after that depending on how it goes. It could potentially go all the way to federal court.

Winter is brutal on the skin, and with the crazy weather we've had this year, it is definitely time to give your skin a little extra TLC now that it is finally spring. We've rounded up our six favorite beauty products that will have you look smooth, sunkissed, and refreshed - without toxic chemicals or carcinogens!
The big difference between winter skin and spring skin, is that when its warm, your body picks up its moisture production - which is a good thing - but of course, you don't want to look too shiny. The solution: Araza Arrowroot & Natural Clay Finishing Powder. This longlasting powder is made from organic ingredients and is cruelty-free. The JUGS have tested and approved samples of a bunch of Araza products, and the finishing powder is one of our favorites.
Ugh, changing seasons can be rough on the skin, start with a fresh layer by exfoliating. Don't forget to exfoliate your lips - this will help make your bright springtime lipsticks look extra amaze. Currently we're loving this USDA certified organic lip scrub by GlaMER lips. Summah lovin requires smooth lips....just sayin.
Contouring is all the rage. Try out the trend with a lighter touch using the Vapour Organic Solar Translucent Bronzer Stick . Vapour is one of our favorite organic beauty lines because their products are effective, good for the environment, and good for your skin. This bronzer stick gives the perfect sunkissed glow without overdoing it. Bronzers can be tricky to pull off in bright sunlight, but this one gives a natural, beautiful look on any skintone.
It is no secret that as temps get warmer, an effective deodorant becomes more and more important. But don't put your health at risk by using traditional deodorants. Instead, try out Northcoast Organics Death by Lavender Deodorant. This one works, trust us.
The best way to freshen up your look for warm weather is by adding some bright colors. Get a chic, tropical vibe by using Ilia Lipstick in Neon Angel. It is such a fun color and will match pretty much any spring or summer outfit. Plus, Ilia's lipsticks are coconut oil based, meaning they help hydrate lips, provide a little bit of sun protection, and are completely nontoxic!
Belli is a brand loved by pregnant women and new mothers because their products effectively treat and prevent stretch marks. Tighten up your lackluster winter skin by giving it moisture that also helps combat unslightly stretching with Belli All Day Moisture. You'll be bikini ready in no time!

Blue Sky Cellar Unveils Exciting New Magic Coming to Disney's California Adventure
ANAHEIM, Calif., October 15, 2008 – Nestled in the Golden Vine Winery at the base of Grizzly Peak in Disney's California Adventure Park, the Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar is a place where Guests will get an exclusive sneak preview of what is new and what is in store for the expansion of the Disneyland Resort. Beginning October 20, Guests will view working models as well as dozens of concepts and sketches from Disney Imagineers, the creative minds behind the design and construction of Disney theme parks and attractions.
With Blue Sky Cellar, Guests will be invited for the first time to preview works in progress at Disneyland Resort by immersing themselves in a facsimile of an Imagineering workspace. Based on the belief that idea gathering is best when "the sky's the limit," the Blue Sky Cellar is designed to resemble an Imagineering "charette," an extended creative idea development meeting. Guests receive an inside-look at how Imagineers take "blue sky" ideas and refine them into the classic storytelling that characterizes Disney Theme Park attractions and adventures.
In this whimsical immersive setting, Imagineers have taken over a former wine cellar and set up shop. Wine barrels have turned into work stations and the former wine tasting room has become a screening room where videos showcase the behind-the-scenes magic that goes into the creation of new and upcoming attractions for Disney's California Adventure.
Guests will view several new attraction models, including the newly envisioned Paradise Pier area with its turn-of-the-20th-Century look, ride vehicle maquettes from Toy Story Mania!; and the new character overlays to the Games of the Boardwalk. Special features include updates and character additions to attractions such as Mickey's Fun Wheel (an enhancement of the current Sun Wheel) and Silly Symphony Swings (a refreshed and rethemed Orange Stinger).
Brand new sketches and artwork line the walls including images of the new entrance area, soon to be known as Buena Vista Street, which will bring to life a nostalgic look at Los Angeles from the 1920s and 30s when Walt Disney first arrived in California; a Red Car trolley, reminiscent of the Pacific Electric Railway; and a new central plaza area including a replica of the Carthay Circle Theatre, where Walt premiered Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The "coming soon" area features images of Disney's World of Color and The Little Mermaid attraction, and looks even further ahead to Cars Land, a 12-acre expansion of the Park which will bring to life the town of Radiator Springs from the Disney Pixar animated film Cars, complete with three new attractions for the whole family. Additionally, Guests in Blue Sky Cellar will have fun testing their knowledge of Disney trivia at one of the interactive workstations.
The screening room features Imagineers describing the approach and vision of the Disney California Adventure expansion. Guests will see footage of model-making, sculpting, blue sky meetings and all the aspects of bringing a Disney concept to life.
Included in the original announcement of the multi-year expansion of the Disneyland Resort in Fall 2007, the Blue Sky Cellar is part of the overall commitment to keep the community and Disneyland Resort Guests informed of the exciting new and upcoming plans for the Resort. Future updates will focus on other new areas and attractions, and Guests are invited to return periodically for additional exciting information.

What's your opinion on skaters, graffiti artists and breakdancers? Property-damaging menaces to society? Dropouts and wasters who hang around on street corners all day? Or young people carving out their own culture and coping with our frustrating urban environment?
Whatever your view, perhaps few people outside extreme sports and urban culture circles would be aware that Liverpool is home to some of the world's best skaters and breakers, and the UK's foremost free urban culture festival.
Since its inception in 2001, the Hub festival has grown from its small origins with a few skate ramps and graffiti boards on the old Chavasse Park, to its current home at Otterspool Park. Here on the 17th/18th May this year, some 20-22,000 people are expected to turn up to catch BMX, Inline skate and skateboarding demonstrations, the UK's only outdoor international breakdancing competition, an array of musical performances, including Shlomo, one of the UK's finest human beatboxers, a 250 metre long graffiti wall, open competitions and much more besides.
One of the major groups that will be part of Hub are Team Extreme, the UK's only professional extreme sports show team, who'll be running all the competitions for skateboarding, BMXing, and Inline skating, and running demos on the dirtramp from some of the world's best riders.
There's a local connection, Team Extreme is directed by Neil Danns, a Scouser and a former British skateboarding champion. But like so many extreme sports fanatics, he had a long journey to reach this position of respectability.
Constant practice saw Danns become one of the best skaters in Liverpool and the UK. He won ten out of the twelve competitions in his first entry in the British Skateboarding Championships in 1983, began to tour across the globe, and at one point was ranked number six in the world. He became involved as a demo rider with Team Extreme, and worked his way up to become director.
This is echoed by Altu Collingwood, also known as Flowrex, the dancer who's involved in organising and MCing the breaking competition at Hub.
Hub is organised and backed by Liverpool City Council. But urban culture is very youth orientated and underground. How have the council suits, unlikely to know there half pipe from their hash pipe, managed to engage with the kids on the street?
Enough of the concerns of B-boys and skaters though, what does Hub offer to those of us unlikely ever to perform Bunnyhop or a Thread Drop? What should get us down to Otterspool in May?
So, why not check out some of the music, sporting and artistic thrills at this years Hub, who knows, you could be showing your skills off down by the Queen Victoria monument soon enough.

Good habits are sometimes innate, oftentimes taught. Passing our positive daily rituals onto our children is part of what makes humans so successful. Kids need strong role models, but more importantly they need the adults around them to share the wisdom of their experiences and impart lessons on how to lead happy, fulfilling, and productive lives.
Keeping your tasks, goals, errands, and dreams in order is easier said than done. Teaching organization habits to your child is one of the most beneficial things a parent can do when considering the long-term, besides start a college fund. Use a school planner app on your tablet, or some other interactive organizer, to help your son or daughter grasp concepts and stay organized as early as possible.
Inability to sleep comfortably through the night is almost always a secondary symptom of some larger problem. Whether rooted in a diet, schedule, or psychological issue, poor sleep patterns need to be sorted out right away for kids and adults alike. Being afraid of the dark is perfectly understandable, and stress-induced insomnia is an unfortunate side-effect of working hard to pay the bills. But these are no excuses for allowing bad sleeping habits to continue. Health, both mental and physical, is at stake.
Being compelled to help others is perhaps the greatest trait we humans can possess. If you note your son or daughter has a habit of wanting to improve the well-being of living things and environments around them, take it as a sure sign your child is on track to be one of the better people on the planet. Better yet, allow your kid's charitable nature to remind you of the power and importance of kindness.
Humans are question machines, kids taking the lead for the most part. Encourage this at all times. Asking questions is essential to human development. Another reason why a willingness to ask for answers is important is because without it we become ants in a colony, enslaved to overlords without ever asking "why?" With that said, always make sure to teach your child the difference between inquiry and nitpickiness. There's a polite, and a not-so polite way to go about being defiant. Push for the former.
Lastly, we feel it's important for people to develop street smarts as soon as possible. Five is not too young. By street smarts we don't mean the ability to detect a card con or tell the difference between the sound of a broken bottle and a window shattering. It's more about developing habits critical to having fun away from home while still staying safe. No five-year-old should be playing somewhere unsupervised, of course, but building up the skills and knowledge a kid needs in case they get lost or approached by a stranger, for example, should begin long before kindergarten.
Nothing says good parenting like imparting good, strong, healthy habits onto children. It's never too early to start. The benefits will last your son or daughter a lifetime.
Have you taught your child all of these five characteristics by the time they were 5 years old? What was the hardest one of the skills to teach your child?
Those are certainly great habits to encourage in a kid. Great tips.
These are great things for your child to develop. My 5 year old is very independent and street smart…maybe a little too much!
Organization at a young age is very good, that shows they'll be very smart and together!
All of these are great qualities to teach our children. Being organized is something I have had to work on for a long time. I am hoping that my girls will learn to be organized at an early age. I think helping others is the main one I will work on with my girls. I think we need way more people in this world who want to help others and are not just focused on how far ahead they can get in life. Not that I am against goals and achieving them. I just think we need to help others and hope others help us when we need it. The world would be a much better place if we did.
We encourage questions over here too. I love how curious the kids are when everything is brand new.

Welcome to California, We've Updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
Ben Forbes
California, the most populated state and largest economy in the U.S., has some unusual (or exciting, depending on your opinion) ballot initiatives scheduled for the November election. So far, the ones that have qualified for the ballot (or could soon qualify) include:
A rent control initiative which allows local governments to regulate rent.
Turning California into Cali-three-nia (thanks NPR), which would split California into three individual states.
Allowing ambulance providers to require employees to remain on-call during paid breaks.
A legislative proposal to get rid of daylight savings time – to "improve public health."
A proposal titled, California Consumer Personal Information Disclosure and Sale Initiative.
The last one comes on the heels of the European Union's implementation of its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in late May. The GDPR has an extended reach, impacting any business that deals with European citizens. The law sets standards for data protection, giving customers the option to choose how their data is used, and requiring companies to gain explicit consent to use consumer data and state how they intend to use the data.
Due to the global nature of Internet businesses that use consumer data, American web users have been impacted by a deluge of "updated privacy policy" emails. If this initiative passes, expect even more updated policies that no one will read.
The GDPR has had a rough start in the EU. According to CNBC, marketers are beginning to worry because users are ignoring the privacy policy emails – meaning they are not giving consent to use data. Those that do open the emails are typically unsubscribing. Marketers believe that they will not be able to carry out targeted advertising without pertinent consumer data.
Do a Google search for "GDPR compliance," and a flood of law firms looking to help companies comply pops up, meaning that lawyers may benefit far more from the regulations than consumers will.
California's Consumer Right to Privacy Act hopes to address these issues. It appears to be inspired by GDPR but the penalties aren't as harsh. Small businesses may be partially relieved to hear that the proposal would not create an explicit requirement for a data protection specialist position. Penalties are left mostly to the discretion of the court, as opposed to specifically ordained by the GDPR. That one could go either way, depending on how the judge is feeling that day.
The initiative has received backlash from the Silicon Valley tech giants such as Facebook and Google. According to Mercury News, Steven Maviglio, the spokesman for the political action committee that titans have funded to fight the proposal, raised concerns that it could "disconnect" California from the rest of the world, negatively impacting business.

[narrating]: [referring to Kronk's "theme music"] Big, dumb and tone-deaf. I am so glad I was unconscious for all of this.
[narrating]: Um, what's with the chimp and the bug? Can we get back to me?
[examining his brides]: Let's see here... hate your hair, not likely, yikes, yikes, yikes, and let me guess: you have a great personality.
[about Kuzco] I'll turn him into a flea. A harmless little flea. And I'll put that flea in a box. And then I'll put that box in another box. Then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives, [laughs maniacally] I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say! [Knocks over the potion, which makes a plant explode] Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him with this!
[Holding the human-potion after getting turned into a cat] Looking for this? [Realizes her voice is now high and squeaky] Is that my voice? [coughs] Is that my voice?! [pause] Oh well.
Chicha: [smiling] Okay everybody, move aside. [pats her pregnant belly] Lady with a baby comin' through.
Kronk's Shoulder Devil: Don't listen to him. He's trying to lead you down the "path of righteousness". I'm gonna lead you down the path that rocks!
Guard: Hey, I've been turned into a cow. Can I go home?
Kronk: What are the odds that trap door would lead me out here?
Kuzco: "...I'm a crumbling canyon wall, and I'm taking you with me." Well not today, pal! [shuffling to dance] Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-uh.
Pacha [uncertainly]: You just saved my life.
Yzma: Take him out of town and finish the job, now!
Kronk: But, what about dinner?
Yzma: Kronk, this is kind of important.
Yzma: [starts to protest, but stops] Well, I suppose there's time for dessert.
Yzma: All right, a quick cup of coffee. Then take him out of town and finish the job!
Kuzco: [trying to calm down] I'm trying to figure that out, okay? [falls and starts whining again] I can't remember! I can't remember anything! Wait a minute. [turns towards Pacha] I remember you! I remember telling you that I was building my pool where your house was. And then you got mad at me-- [gasps in shock, then turns back to Pacha angrily] Then you turned me into a llama!
Pacha: Wha--! No, I did not!
Pacha: Why would I kidnap a llama?
Kuzco: I have no idea. You're the criminal mastermind, not me!
Kuzco: [pauses] You're right. That's giving you way too much credit.
Pacha: Don't worry your Highness. I got ya. You're safe now.
Pacha: No, no, no. It's-It's okay. This-This is all right. We can figure this out.
Kuzco: [resigned] Don't tell me: We're about to go over a huge waterfall.
Kuzco: [pause] Bring it on. [yells as they go over] Boo-yaaa!
Pacha: For the last time it was not a kiss.
Kuzco: Well, whatever you call it, [Kuzco spits the water onto Pacha's fire, putting it out] it was disgusting. And if you would've done what I ordered you to do in the first place, we all could have been spared your little kiss of life. [Kuzco shakes off the water from his fur which puts out the fire Pacha has just re-lit] But now that you're here, you will take me back to the palace. I'll have Yzma change me back, and then I'll start construction on Kuzcotopia. Oh yeah!
Pacha: Okay, now look, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I just think if you really thought about it you'd decide to build your home on a different hilltop.
Pacha: Because [controls his anger] deep down, I think you'll realize that you're forcing an entire village out of their homes just for you.
Pacha: Well, yeah. Uh, nobody's that heartless.
Kuzco: Mmmm. [pauses] Now take me back.
Pacha: What? Wait, wait. How can you be this way? All you care about is building your summer home and filling it with stuff for you.
Kuzco: Uh, yeah. Doy. Me. Everyone else in the kingdom gets it. You're the only one that doesn't seem to be with the programme, eh, Pacha?
Pacha: You know what? Someday, you're gonna wind up all alone and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
Kuzco: [sarcastically] Thanks for that, I'll log that away. Now, for the final time I order you to take me back to the palace.
Pacha: Looks to me like you're stuck out here because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back.
Kuzco: [imitating Pacha] Because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back. Me, me, me. [Picks up an acorn and throws it at Pacha, hitting him on the head. Pacha looks round angrily] Huh? What? I didn't do anything. I didn't - Somebody's throwing stuff.
Yzma: Kronk, why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing. It's like I'm talking to a monkey.
Kronk's Shoulder Angel: Whoa now!
Yzma: A really, really, big, stupid monkey named Kronk!
Yzma: And would you like to know something else? I never liked your spinach puffs. Never!
Kronk's Shoulder Devil: That's it! [****s trident] She's goin' down.
Kronk, Shoulder Angel, and Devil simultaneously: That'll work.
Kronk's Shoulder Devil: [while Kuzco in a bag is about to go over a very large waterfall] Listen big guy, I got three good reasons why you should just walk away. Number one: [points to Kronk's Shoulder Angel] Look at that guy! He's got that sissy, stringy, music thing.
Kronk's Shoulder Angel: We've been through this; it's a harp, and you know it.
Kronk's Shoulder Devil: All right; that's a harp, and that's a dress.
Kronk's Shoulder Devil: Reason number two: [as he does a one-handed handstand] Look what I can do!
Kronk: Look, you guys are confusing me, so, uh.... "be gone", or whatever I do to get rid of you guys.
Chicha: [angrily] Couldn't see you? Why not?
Chicha: Well-well, that's just rude!
Chicha: No, no, no, no, no. NO! Emperor or no emperor, it's called common courtesy.
Chicha: If that were me, I'd march right back there and demand to see him and you know I would.
Chicha: Pacha, I'm fine. This baby's not coming out for while. But even if it was, I'd give that guy a piece of my mind. That kind of behavior just- just- [snorts]. I gotta go wash something.
Yzma: Oh, would you, please? That would be just great. [Yzma makes an exaggerated gesture that makes her knock her tea cup off the table] Oops. Silly me.
Yzma: Oh my. [Steps out of a shadow holding the potion] Looking for this?
Kuzco: No, it's impossible! How did you get back here before us?
Yzma: Ah.... [Looks confused] How did we get back here, Kronk?
Kronk: Well, ya got me. [Pulls down a chart displaying the progress of the previous chase] By all accounts, it doesn't make any sense.
Yzma: Oh well. Back to business.
Kuzco: [nervous] Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been; but Yzma, you really wanna kill me?!
Yzma: Just think of it as...you're being let go. That your life's going in a different direction. That your body is part of a permanent outplacement.

Jobs are scarce. Money is tight. A speedy economic recovery seems unlikely. Yet none of that has stopped the Millennial Generation from helping others.
Young adults who grew up in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks and saw the wreckage of Hurricane Katrina are volunteering at home and abroad in record numbers. The generation that learned in school to serve as well as to read and write, the Millennials were the first global Internet explorers even as they pioneered social networking for favorite causes at home.
Surveys show people born between 1982 and 2000 are the most civic-minded since the generation of the 1930s and 1940s, say Morley Winograd and Michael Hais, co-authors ofMillennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube, and the Future of American Politics.
Unlike culturally polarized Baby Boomers or cynical Gen-Xers, this is "a generation of activist doers," they write.
Michelle Trahey, a Penn State marketing major, has turned down three job offers so she can work for two years in a New York City elementary school as a Teach for America corps member. Trahey, 22, says friends thought she was "crazy" since many college graduates can't find jobs. Her parents weren't pleased, either.
Trahey is among 3,700 college graduates who will join Teach for America next fall. Nearly 25,000 applied, a 37% increase over 2007 and the most since the program began in 1990, says spokeswoman Amy Rabinowitz. Nearly every government-funded service program has seen applications spike.
City Year, where monthly stipends are about $1,000, saw applications triple last year. Applications to the Peace Corps, which sends volunteers to work in other countries, are up 16%. AmeriCorps, which sends young adults into schools, health clinics, parks and other local organizations, has three applicants for every slot.
The Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency that oversees Ameri Corps and other programs, says volunteer rates for ages 16-24 nearly doubled from 1989 through 2005, from 12.3% to 23%.
Winograd says those are the peak formative years for Gen-Xers and Millennials. He says it was rare for those now in their 30s and 40s to perform community service in high school. More than 80% of Millennials did it, often because it was required.
Although the volunteer rate for young adults declined to 21.9% in 2008, nearly three in five 18- to 24-year-olds surveyed by the Harvard University Institute of Politics said they were interested in public service. Statistics compiled by the Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversee AmeriCorps and other programs, show that college towns such as Provo, Utah; Iowa City and Madison, Wis., have among the country's highest volunteer rates.
The United Way, which was founded in 1887 to raise money for charities, opened campus chapters in 2008. It hopes to have 50 by next year, many of them offshoots of spring break programs in which students give up the beach for projects helping others.
Kathryn Yaros, a student at University of Michigan-Dearborn who is a United Way team leader, spent freshman spring break helping build a wheelchair ramp so a paralyzed man could leave his Detroit home. This spring she worked at a residential treatment center for troubled girls.
The times. Just as the Great Depression and World War II shaped their grandparents' generation, Millennials view the world through the lens of 9/11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the economic meltdown.
Global connections. Because of the Internet, social networking sites such as Facebook, the growth of study-abroad programs and ethnic diversity, the Millennials are closely attached to the world and want to make it a better place.
Practicality. Required to volunteer in high school and encouraged by colleges to keep it up, Millennials responded to Hurricane Katrina with outcomes they could see.
Thousands spent their college spring breaks on the Gulf Coast where they helped clear debris, patch roofs and rebuild homes after the 2005 storm.
The Obama effect. Millennial voters last year preferred Barack Obama 2 to 1. Many embraced the former community organizer's call to service.
"We are seeing a rebirth of the kind of idealism that we saw during the Kennedy era" of the 1960s, when the Peace Corps was founded, she says, noting that the average age of Peace Corps volunteers is 27.
Obama's election was "a signal that young people really do matter," says Roger Gu, 21, who will work for Teach for America in Los Angeles after graduating from Princeton University this spring. "I don't want to sound corny or lame, but I believe individuals can make a difference," he says.
Economic woes. A miserable job market is an added reason to volunteer.
"When the economy is downsizing full-pay job opportunities, many are looking at these stipend and volunteer opportunities as a good alternative," says Patrick Rooney of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. He says recent graduates are more likely than older adults to work for little or no pay because they have yet to start families or take on mortgages.
At 20, Colorado College sophomore Eleanor Mulshine hasn't chosen a career, but she has traveled to the Gulf Coast twice to help with hurricane recovery, trekked to a village in India to build compost pits and worked on a New Mexico farm that promotes sustainable agriculture. Between classes in Colorado Springs, she helps refugees adapt to their new home.
Mulshine says she learned the value of helping others from her parents, who are "heavily involved" in their Washington, D.C., neighborhood.

Are templates not supposed to work with table functions anymore?
3 points by zck 250 days ago | 30 comments
The documentation refers to templates as tables, for example the docstring for `deftem` starts:
> Defines a _template_, a table with defaults defined for various keys.
But table operations don't work on templates anymore:
arc> (deftem sample-tem k 'v)
'((k #<procedure: g39564>))
arc> (len (inst 'sample-tem))
car: contract violation
expected: pair?
given: '#s(ar-tagged tem (sample-tem #hash((k . v)) #hash()))
context...:
/home/zck/programs/arc/anarki/ac.rkt:812:0: ar-denil-last
/home/zck/programs/arc/anarki/ac.rkt:953:10: len
eval-one-top12
/home/zck/programs/arc/anarki/ac.rkt:1456:4
arc> (keys (inst 'sample-tem))
'nil
These are both changes to how Arc treats templates. And the Anarki documentation suggests the only changes are in how it writes to disk.
I might dig into this a bit later, and update the documentation, but if anyone can save me some time, that would be cool.

Whatever they are, they aren't exactly tables. We can't use Racket's JSON parser on forum data because of that.
I think they are supposed to be tables, though.
3 points by zck 250 days ago | link
Interesting. At least for `len`, it can be fixed with a `defextend`, I believe. (https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/master/arc.arc#L2...)
To Chesterton's Fence it, though, I am not sure if templates are intended to work differently.
`len` will work with templates after this PR: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/pull/182
I'm leaving it unmerged for now until we can see if we can make templates work like tables for all things, except the changes we _want_.
3 points by akkartik 250 days ago | link
I've always implicitly assumed that tables were just an implementation detail for templates, and assumed they were like objects. I think that might be why it never occurred to me to apply `len` on a template, and why a large program like news.arc never ran into this gap.
I have no objection to your approach of making them more like tables. I also have no objection to updating the documentation to stop referring to them as tables. One of those options might be less work than the other :)
> I've always implicitly assumed that tables were just an implementation detail for templates, and assumed they were like objects. I think that might be why it never occurred to me to apply `len` on a template, and why a large program like news.arc never ran into this gap.
Ah, interesting! Here's some background that might help understand why having them act like tables might help. `len` wasn't the first function that I found didn't work with templates; it was just the simplest. I was working on adding teardown functionality to unit-test.arc, and I wanted to look at some of the suites that were created, to see if I was adding tests properly. As the templates end up pretty big (one suite with two tests is about 25 lines), and it was late at night, I figured I'd make it simple on myself, and just look at the keys of the template.
This had nothing to do with the desired "production" code, but only with REPL-hacking introspection.
I want to make them reasonably easy to REPL-hack with; whether they're actually tables or not I don't particularly care right now. The most important table functions are probably len, keys, vals, and maybe maptable/each.
How about some rep-hacking rather than REPL-hacking? :D
(keys rep.tem)
Haha, that certainly works. It brings up the question of "what Arc internals should people need to know about?". I've never looked into Arc's tagged types until this issue.
My answer to that question has always been, "it depends." The anti-encapsulation ethos (homoiconicity, using lists where other languages may use objects, the entire compiler fitting in one file and being accessible front-and-center, etc.) means that there's always the ability to peel back another layer of the onion when it becomes relevant.
I think it's a documentation issue. I think I had to search the forums to find out about it when I was playing with JSON interop. Nowhere on the actual template page in the Arc documentation does it tell you this is a thing.
Some things I've only been able to figure out by studying the compiler or arc source code itself. Granted, that's illuminating, but it's also sometimes really annoying.

"to find out about it"
Sorry, to find out about which part?
Ah, I think I understand: The fact that you can call `rep` on a template instance.
1 point by akkartik 247 days ago | link
Indeed. It never occurred to me to write about this. Would you be interested in writing something up? I can help you wrestle with the documentation system if you like.
Templates should just enforce a signature for table fields, but otherwise decompose to tables. I think the issue is that the tables generated by (inst) from a template are annotated as type 'tem when that should (could?) be done with a tag that doesn't actually change the type. Since the template name is passed to the function, you could just build the table with default values without annotating it. You could also delete most of the template functions that just serve as template versions of table functions.
edit: I was also assuming templates type-hinted field values but I don't think they do. Maybe they should?
Also, does anyone else find it a bit odd that a language feature like this is in a lib file rather than being part of the core language?
Small languages take it as a mark of pride to move as much as possible into libraries :) The pitch is that the language is powerful, and nothing shows that like language features as libraries.
I was very proud in Wart that multi-branch ifs were a library feature. And check out this quote in a blog post about Forth:
: (   41 word drop ; immediate
( That was the definition for the comment word. )
( Now we can add comments to what we are doing! )
(https://yosefk.com/blog/my-history-with-forth-stack-machines...)
I disagree with your vision for templates. If you just want something that behaves like tables, why not just use tables? A helper that fills in default values would be pretty easy to write.
Think about the use case of news.arc. There's a list of 'objects' that need to be serialized to disk and unserialized from disk. What should happen if you change the default for a template in code? Should the default update transparently for existing objects? If so, you need some way to distinguish tables that were generated by templates. Which implies something that manages them throughout their life cycle.
>Small languages take it as a mark of pride to move as much as possible into libraries :)
Yeah, I've seen projects that show off the power of a language by doing "x in < 100 lines" that just don't count a remote API call with half a million LOC running on a server or something ;) But with language features like macros and templates that have become ubiquitous, I feel like it's kind of cheating not to just fold them into arc proper.
But that's just me... one thing I've learned being here is that I seem to flow against the culture more than with it, so I can just agree to disagree.
> If you just want something that behaves like tables, why not just use tables?
They are tables, that's what's frustrating. They're tables with metadata. From what I can tell reading earler posts about templates, they used to be something that behaves like tables. Interop between forum data and Racket (and any code where tables are expected) is awkward because that incompatibility has to be worked around, resulting in extra code and extra complexity. Templates need a separate API despite having the same behavior as tables.
>If so, you need some way to distinguish tables that were generated by templates. Which implies something that manages them throughout their life cycle.
Fair enough. But why is it necessary to change their type to do so? Why not make this a feature of tables as a whole, if it's useful? Or tag tables in a way that doesn't change their type, if that's possible?
I understand that tradeoffs have to be made and I'm not trying to be cantankerous or dismiss the value of anyone's work, and no, I couldn't do better myself (yet), which is why I'm commenting on it it rather than making a PR. I'm just wondering if this is the best possible implementation of the concept, given how often I and other people seem to run into issues with it.
Don't worry about sounding dismissive, I totally understand where the questions are coming from.
Tables and objects feel like separate concepts, and they have complementary strengths and weaknesses, and one doesn't subsume the other. To me it seems obvious that if we want to have both, we need them to have different types.
For example, sometimes you want the 'dynamic' ability to set arbitrary keys of metadata on a thing. Sometimes you want the same operation to be an error, by providing a schema. How would a single type do both? No language does so, to my knowledge.
Things should have the same type when they have compatible behavior. When they are incompatible, they shouldn't.
Supporting helpers like len and keys may well still make sense. And as the original story did, this is easy to do.
But in general, having incompatible types easily share functions without sharing too much is an open problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem A language can easily add a method to many types, or add a new type to many methods. But we don't yet know how to achieve both sides.
And honestly, I think the expression problem isn't important. It doesn't take too much code per method/type. And making it easier just encourages large, bloated codebases.
> ...given how often I and other people seem to run into issues with it.
One thing that might be useful here is a list of issues people have encountered with templates. Maybe we should create a wiki page on GitHub and add to it every time an issue comes up. Then we can have a big-picture view of them and a sense of how many are things people need to learn about Arc, and how many are bugs to be fixed.
I believe Anarki behaves exactly the same as Arc's intent when it comes to templates. The changes that I made here seemed strictly superior to the buggy implementation upstream. But if you disagree you should absolutely feel free to just revert the commits and go back to Arc behavior. I don't use Arc anymore, so my opinions are extremely weakly held, you don't have to bother persuading me. Or, if you have some other specific issue in mind, I'd be happy to be persuaded that I'm wrong.
"But in general, having incompatible types easily share functions without sharing too much is an open problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem A language can easily add a method to many types, or add a new type to many methods. But we don't yet know how to achieve both sides."
I'm trying to follow, but I think you and I must have different understandings of the expression problem. That article lists several known solutions to the expression problem. The solution Anarki uses is `defextend`.
What do you mean by "sharing too much"?
Is Anarki's `defextend` technique already encouraging a bloated codebase, or is there some other technique you're thinking of that would do that?
Yeah, I suppose you could say the problem is 'solved'. I think of it as a trade-off with costs. We don't know how to achieve zero cost.
For example, I absolutely agree with you that 2 lines per method to extend every table method to some new type constitutes a solution for us. But if we had a thousand such types and a thousand such methods, it may seem like less of a solution. But then `defextend` would be the victim rather than cause of bloat.
Ah, you're imagining us having to write and maintain 1000×1000 individual `defextend` forms someday? Yeah, that does seem like a problem that would not feel solved once we got to it. :-p
I don't think that aspect of the expression problem is solvable in a language design. Instead, it's an ongoing conversation in the community. Sometimes the intent of one feature and the intent of another feature interact, leading people to do a nonzero amount of work to figure out the intent of the two features put together. That work is an essential part of what the community is trying to accomplish together, so it's a cost that can't be eliminated. The intent has to be reflected in the code somewhere, so there will be a nonzero amount of code that serves feature-coordinating purposes.
Regardless, I'm optimistic that although the amount of code will be nonzero, it'll still have a manageable size. To the extent we have any kind of consistency around these feature interaction decisions, those consistent principles can develop into abstractions. The only way we'll have 1000×1000 individual intersections to maintain is if we as a community culture are already maintaining 1,000,000 compelling and distinct justifications for them. :)
Indeed. I'm curious: does my interpretation of the expression problem miss what the papers tend to focus on?
Well... That's a good question.
I haven't read any more than a few papers on it, and maybe only one of those in depth (which I'll mention below). Mostly I'm going by forum threads, wiki articles, and the design choices certain languages make (like Inform's multimethods and Haskell's type classes).
As far as I understand the history, Philip Wadler's work basically defined the strict parameters of the expression problem and explored solutions for it. Separate compilation and the avoidance of dynamic casts were big deals for Wadler for some reason.
That work was focused on Java, where it's easy to define new classes that implement existing interfaces but impossible to implement new interfaces on existing classes.
The solution I'm most familiar with for Java-style languages is the use of object algebras, as described in Oliveira and Cook's "Extensibility for the Masses: Practical Extensibility with Object Algebras" (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/Drafts/2012/ecoop2012.pdf). In this approach, when you extend the system with a new type, you define a new interface with a generic type parameter and a factory method for building that type, and you have that interface inherit all the existing factory methods. So you don't have to solve the unsolvable task of implementing a new interface for an existing class, because you're representing your types as type parameters and methods, not simply as classes.
So I think the main subject of research was how best to represent an extensible program's types and functions in a language like Java where the most obvious choices weren't expressive enough. I think it's more of a "how do we allow extensions to be made at all" problem than a "how do we make all the extensions maintainable" problem.
But then, I've really barely scratched the surface of the research, so I could easily be missing stuff like that.
> ... with language features like macros and templates that have become ubiquitous, I feel like it's kind of cheating not to just fold them into arc proper.
Cheating how?
It's totally fine to move something into arc.arc if you want to do that. It's always felt like a non-existent distinction in my mind whether something is under arc.arc or libs/. Is Anarki all language or all standard library? Depends on how you look at it. Why does it matter?
> But that's just me... one thing I've learned being here is that I seem to flow against the culture more than with it, so I can just agree to disagree.
This doesn't feel like a disagreement, more like a language barrier. If I understood better I might know whether I agree or not.
I just remembered that I don't understand this comment. Arc stores forum data in s-expressions, not JSON. How would we expect a JSON parser to work?
Is making it work just a matter of calling the Racket primitive on `rep.template` instead of `template`?
I spend all my time with Arc working on the forum, so JSON is more important to me than it might be to someone else who primarily focuses on the language.
I was working on the data export feature, which before just dumped a user's posts and comments as a printed statement, but I wanted it to export JSON because that's more portable. Racket has a really nice JSON parser, unfortunately all the forum data is templated, so I can't just pass it to Racket because it doesn't understand the type. There may be a way to get it to work at that level but I don't know what it is.
So I had to get an old JSON parser for Arc and rewrite a bit of it to be able to generate JSON from forum data. I think it was zck's parser but I'm not entirely sure ATM. It works, but it's an awkward workaround. Any data coming from the forum has to go through one parser, and any other data, such as from a remote API would be going through another (Racket's.)
>Is making it work just a matter of calling the Racket primitive on `rep.template` instead of `template`?
Yes, I had to hunt around to even know that existed, because it's not in the docs.
Not that it helps you much now, but the best documentation for tagged types (including the `rep` operation) is probably this: http://arclanguage.github.io/ref/type.html
You can get to it from the "Type operations" link in the table of contents. Of course, you might've been drawn to the "Templates" page instead.
And unfortunately, that documentation describes Anarki's stable branch. Making documentation of similar quality for Anarki's master branch might be quite a bit more work. So even if you were familiar with tagged types already, the knowledge that template instances were a tagged type on Anarki master might be hard to discover.
I suppose a more ideal form of the documentation would describe on the "Templates" page that template instances were a tagged type with a certain representation. It could describe the direct implications of that, but it would also have a link to the "Type operations" page for more background.
>I suppose a more ideal form of the documentation would describe on the "Templates" page that template instances were a tagged type with a certain representation. It could describe the direct implications of that, but it would also have a link to the "Type operations" page for more background.
That would have been tremendously helpful, can we do that? Who actually maintains the documentation, can it be updated?
Perhaps we should maintain the docs only in plain-text and only within the repo, just because of the operational overheads of managing multiple branches. At least that way they won't seem to lie to a newcomer. I'm curious to hear what others think.
There is already a wiki that isn't getting much use[0].

It sounds like you mean a JSON generator (emitting JSON) rather than parser (ingesting JSON). Is that right?


More than 1 in 5 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) also experience depression, which is associated with mortality rates that are 2 to 3 times higher than those of non-depressed patients. The SADHART-CHF (Sertraline Against Depression and Heart Disease in Chronic Heart Failure) trial showed that improvement in depression correlated with reduced cardiovascular events in patients with CHF. A post-hoc analysis of this trial found that 80% of the patients with both CHF and depression had low plasma omega-3 levels.
The OCEAN study was a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 108 patients (mean age = 58 years) with CHF and scores of ≥ 18 on the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive 4 capsules of EPA/DHA (400mg/200mg), 4 capsules of high EPA (500mg), or 4 capsules of corn oil (placebo) per day for 12 weeks. The omega-3 capsules were manufactured by Ocean Nutrition Canada Ltd. The primary outcome measures were changes in depression scores on HAM-D and red blood cell (RBC) levels of omega-3s.
Results for the primary endpoints showed that omega-3 supplementation significantly increased omega-3 indices in RBCs but did not significantly improve HAM-D scores when compared with placebo. When only participants who completed the study were included in the analysis, omega-3 supplementation correlated with improved social functioning as measured by the SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey). Correlations were also found between changes in omega-3 indices and improvements in cognitive depressive symptoms as measured by the BDI-II (Beck Depression Inventory). The strongest correlations were observed between higher EPA levels and improvement in cognitive depressive symptoms. Similar side effects were reported for all groups.
The authors of this study acknowledge that the sample size was too small to detect small improvements in depressive symptoms. They also acknowledge that the significant results mentioned above would lose statistical significance if corrected for multiple testing (i.e., evaluating so many variables that you are bound to find a positive result). Nevertheless, the results of this study support the hypothesis that omega-3 supplementation might benefit mood in patients with CHF, indicating a need for longer and more extensive clinical trials.

John Morant II
1677 - 3rd Oct 1721
Son of John Morant I and father of John Morant III. It's not clear which of the family estates were inherited from his father and which were established by John II, but John II greatly increased the family's slave-holding. Probate records for John Morant I include ownership of 29 enslaved people in 1683 and John Morant II's include 213 enslaved people in 1724.
John Morant II died 03/10/1721 in his 44th year.
John Morant of Vere, Esquire. Estate probated in Jamaica in 1724. Slave-ownership at probate: 213 of whom 113 were listed as male and 100 as female. 64 were listed as boys, girls or children. Total value of estate at probate: £10669.46 Jamaican currency of which £4219 currency was the value of enslaved people. Estate valuation included £0 currency cash, £4061.46 currency debts and £0 currency plate.
Probably the John Morant mentioned in Sir Nicholas Lawes' letter c. 1720: "John Morant, mentioned Councillor, was brought up a shoemaker, is a moral man. Pretended to be of the Church, but vehement for the country principles; therefore variable, and a fit tool to these mentioned before, for any new emergency, to pull down the Church, &c."
Burke's Landed Gentry (1879) p. 1123.

I promised to always keep you in the loop. ImpactClub® is a member-driven organization. You all make it happen, while I, and my team, just try to figure out how to keep it going.
This leads to tech team discussions. Development of improved operations. As well as revenue, and capital management. I'm no dummy, at some point, ImpactClub® is going to eat more money than I can feed it, which means, I must start now, converting it to be self-sustaining.
ImpactClub® takes ZERO-percent from any members' $100 donation(s).
On the StoryEngineHack™ side, the path we use to find/train videographer and editor talent, we are designing monetization over there too. To an organization, capital is oxygen.
I refuse to let ImpactClub® suffocate.
With that, my vision and commitment to the core Mission & Purpose will never change. To be "The Strongest Community In Every Community," through the effective use of story.
Following-through on those commitments, seeing the early results. More important? Inspiring others to want to "Enter the journey," mind, body, business, relationships, to become their best self.
I post everyday, my own journey, mostly for my kids to one day read – advice from their old Dad – but if others can benefit, or be inspired by them in some way, I love that too.
I would love to read more of your stories, as stories are what connect us.

"I really care about how a house looks on the inside and outside; I could care less about how it's structured."
"Everything I've ever bought has always reminded me of something I've already seen, someplace, sometime."
"People decorate three times in their lives: The first time is when they get married and get their own place. The second is when their children grow up and they redecorate with better things. Then after 60, they do it for the last time and they make their home look the way they have always dreamed."
He still answers his own phones; that strikes us as practical, hands on, and no pretense.
His designs are comfortable, highly decorative, and whimsical -- and we love any decorator with a sense of humor (he's said to carry around a plastic joke cockroach in his pocket everywhere he goes . . . and he's even named the cockroach Harold).
We lust after the enormous and elegant dressing room complex he designed for Mariah Carey. Lucky her.
Buatta appreciates good collections and eclectic mixes in his interiors, but he also has an appealing humbleness and sense of humility in his philosophy concerning "things." He realizes that objects are really only "on loan" to us during our lifetime. We should provide beautiful objects with a kind and loving place to be displayed and used during our lifetimes, then have them passed on to others for further enjoyment. For this sentiment alone, we are eternally grateful to the amazing Prince of Chintz.
We loved the recent New York Social Diary photo essay and interview with Mario Buatta. Lovely mix of modern and traditional design elements, and a very personal, luxurious space. Well done, as usual, Mr. Buatta!
