Here is a set of Lobby Cards from 12 Angry Men (1957), starring Henry Fonda. Lobby Cards were 11" x 14" posters that came in sets of 8. As the name implies, they were most often displayed in movie theater lobbies, to advertise current or coming attractions.


As a science teacher, I love to encourage all my students to pursue their interests and expose them to career opportunities that they may never have considered, including STEM careers. As a female science teacher, I especially want to highlight to my female students that STEM careers are for everyone and dispel any misconceptions they may have about the field.
While male and female students perform typically the same in science and mathematics classes, females are underrepresented in computer science and engineering classes. As these students continue into the workforce, women make up 47 percent of the total workforce, but only 24 percent of STEM jobs are represented by women. So, why such a difference? Why are women not choosing STEM careers? I may not know all the answers, but here is my personal perspective on the topic.
People need to see themselves reflected in careers they are drawn toward. In elementary school, I wanted to be an astronaut after watching Sally Ride and Christa McAuliffe. In high school, I learned about Jane Goodall and Rachel Carson and became interested in conservation and environmental education. In college, I took a class called "Deep Sea Sharks and Sea Monsters" by Dr. Eugenie Clark. She was known as the "Shark Lady" and was a pioneer in the field of shark research. I sat in awe as she described swimming with whale sharks, and I thought, "I want to do that someday!" Without these women pioneers, I would not be the biology teacher I am today.
We all need role models, and it is helpful that some of these role models reflect our own experiences, so we can say, "Hey, I can do that too!" While there are already many fantastic women in STEM careers, we need to hear their stories. We need to learn about their interests and how they navigated their path. We need them to answer questions like: What inspired you to choose your career? What were your biggest obstacles? What advice do you have to give the next generation?
Helping students see the variety in STEM careers is very important. Many people have the misconception that a STEM career will involve sitting at a desk and writing code all day. We need to highlight the aspects of the field that many people overlook, such as creativity, problem-solving and being part of a collaborative team working toward a common goal. STEM is not just for engineering and computer science class and can easily be integrated in multiple subjects — not just science and math, either. STEM has a role in sports, theater, music, social studies and language arts. Check out STEM Behind Cool Careers for ideas to get your students to think about STEM's role, including high fashion and art.
Many women may not choose STEM careers because they see these misconceptions, or they don't see how STEM can relate to their own interests. My goal as a teacher will be to help the next generation find their passions and hopefully expose them to the STEM skills they need to be successful members of the 21st century workforce.
If you can integrate STEM concepts into problems your students are passionate about, where they feel they are part of the solution, you can inspire them to change the world.

Description This is J.H. Timms's Oath of Loyalty to the United States. Timms, a 47-year-old resident of Clay County, Missouri, states that he was born in Virginia and remained loyal to the United States Government during the Civil War. The oath, labeled No. 62 in a bound volume, was signed by Timms on September 29, 1866.


Writer and activist Bill McKibben talks to Scientific American's Mark Fischetti about his new book Eaarth: Making A Life on a Tough New Planet. Part 1 of 2. Edited and produced by podcast host Steve Mirsky (pictured).
McKibben: …The growth experiment worked really well for some people for a long time, and now it isn't working well, now it's bumped up against its limits.
Steve: That's writer Bill McKibben the scholar in residence at Vermont's Middlebury College. He's also the founder of 350.org, an international climate campaign. McKibben's first book was the 1989 best seller, The End of Nature. It was the first book for [a] general audience about climate change. He has written numerous books since the latest of which is called, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet. In it he argues that relentless growth is fundamentally altering the environment and our ability to live in it, and that maintenance of wealth and resources instead of expansion must be society's new driver. He spells Earth E-A-A-R-T-H to point out of the fact that the Earth today is a very different place from the one on which he was born. The April issue of Scientific American includes an exclusive excerpt from the book and Scientific American's Mark Fischetti recently visited McKibben at his solar-powered home in Ripton, Vermont. They talked for little over an hour, a conversation we've broken in to two parts. Here's part 1.
Fischetti: So chapter 1 to me seems like it's basically saying, "Hey, we have heavily altered the earth; it no longer works the way it used to. We've still [got to] try to reduce [atmospheric] carbon dioxide to 350 parts per million to prevent worse damage, but we've [got] to accept [that] we are on a fundamentally different planet.
McKibben: That's right—that without knowing it, we've, sort of, taken a voyage and landed on a planet that's superficially and in certain [ways] similar to the one we grew up on, but in certain other ways quite different. And different enough that it's going to require us to change the way we think and the way we act. And for me, it was, you know, having written the first book about climate change 20 years ago, it was, at that time, this was a theoretical proposition. And the damage that I was talking about then was as much philosophical as anything else to our idea of the natural world and whatever. And 20 years ago, we would not have thought that this would happen this quickly. People underestimated how finely balanced the planet's physical systems were. But it turned out that they were finely balanced indeed, and so we've begun to see this really quite staggering changes. And I think very few people have come yet to grips with that but the perception still is that this is a future issue, a threat that we're heading off something, as I say in the book, for our grandchildren to deal with. But it's not. Today [there's] an almost science fiction cast [to it]. I really wanted people to understand this. Really that's the point I was trying to make: that we were born onto a different planet than the one we now we live on. It's not entirely different. You know, gravity still applies; it's still mostly ocean and whatever, but fundamental things like the way the seasons progress, how much rain falls; where, you know, the meteorologists have said recently that they think that the meteorological tropics have expanded about 2 degrees north and 2 degrees south.
McKibben: And that's pretty powerful, you know especially since it shifts the dry subtropics ahead of it; that's [the] reason that Australia is turning into, you know, one large fire zone. You know, this is a very, very different world.
Fischetti: So chapter 2 then basically moves ahead to say that the new Earth or the alter[ed] Earth could no longer support the economic or population growth that's [driven] society at least in the last 200 years.
Fischetti: …capacity right, to support that.
McKibben: Or the spare money at this point. Systems always try to react to problems in the way that they are used to reacting to things. Our systems' huge bias to address every problem as one that can be addressed by growing the size of things more, which is why we instantly start talking about building, you know, endless huge, green transmission corridors, and, you know on and on and on—smart houses. All of which is very sensible in [some] sense. I just, my analysis is that we are unlikely to come up with the wherewithal to do that in the time that we have. Certainly we're not going to do it in time to prevent big changes—[they're] already happening. But whether we can even do it in time to prevent, sort of, catastrophic-level changes is, I think, very, very questionable, in fact highly unlikely. And I think a more likely analysis is that we've hit those limits to growth that people started talking about in the 1970s and [that] for a while it seemed to have been, you know, I have already said, "Oh, limits to growth; [there] are no limits; morning in America; Paul Ehrlich is an idiot." You know, on and on and on and on it; but we're clearly running up into them now in powerful ways, the amount of food per capita, grain per capita, grown on the planet has been shrinking steadily; catch of fish around the world has been declining steadily; there are more higher number [and] percentage of people [who are] hungry now than there were a few years ago, so on and so forth. And so one [of the] points I wanted to make is that is if we're already starting to run into limits that those are going to be seriously exacerbated by the problems that we're now encountering with the shifts in weather and with the advent of peak oil. So you know we think that our technological challenge is going to be building, you know, transmission corridors hither and [yon] and huge green power things to supply [them] and whatever you know. Close to home our technological challenge is figuring out how we're going to keep our road that you just drove up from washing completely away, you know, the next time we've one of those record rainstorms. [Our] one link to New York across Lake Champlain at Ground Point Bridge is now closed forever because it's been allowed to rot after 80 years, you know on and on and on. Everything that we're talking about is infrastructure, one way or another, and it's not as simple as just let's build some more new green kind.
Fischetti: So [the] third chapter makes that point really that [trend] has always been towards bigger world for the last 200 years.
McKibben: Yeah, it could be and [they] are very interrelated because the thing that's allowed that complexity [and] that size is the access to endless amounts of cheap fossil fuel, which we no longer are going to have, a) because we're starting to run out, b) more powerfully because we can no longer safely burn it. And so I think that the logic, you know, the logic of fossil fuel was a centralizing one, it occurred in a few places, it was highly efficient to take it to other centers, easy to transport, you can take it some centralized place, and burn it in mass quantities, produce power that you then distributed widely. The logic of what comes next is very different; but that's a hard emotional logic, among other things, to get your head around. The United States in particular we're very used to the idea of bigness of measuring progress in those ways, you know, and right up through the interstate highway system, whatever it is. And even though we've kind of run out of big projects to work on it, [on some level], that's still where we naturally tend to go out. And for those of us who've had the privilege, or [the] accident of living in small places, we have something useful to add to this debate, and Vermont is a really interesting exception to a number of American [rules], including the fact that it takes seriously the idea that it's supposed to govern itself locally and so on.
Fischetti: Right, so this works naturally into the last chapter, which is the [way to] untangle [this society is to] return to the distributed economy.
McKibben: And that's the logic of renewable power above all else. It's diffuse, it's scattered, you know. I've [got] solar panels out in the yard, there will be wind towers up on the ridge, you know. It's diffuse and so by its nature it lends itself to a more diffuse and scattered way of understanding the world. So does the food system, once you get away from growing food [in] oil which is our current preoccupation and one that isn't going to last much longer, the need for local production and control and whatever food has the same, and I was trying to argue at the end I think much the same thing is sort of happening with culture as well, that we have simultaneously this incredibly interesting global thing, the Internet and it's allowing you to live very locally and globally at the same time.
Fischetti: So is that a fair [summation]?
McKibben: Very much. No I think [you] got it. I mean, I'm very interested in the global scale on the one hand, that's where I spend much of [my] time working, and on the local scale on the other and I think we're going to find out that those are the scales we need to work on and then many of the intermediary ones no longer make as much as sense as they used to.
Fischetti: I think the point there is that if people accept that you can create power locally, and we can [define what] local is well and through locally and that it sounds like you're saying that maybe the biggest or a big factor in resisting that notion is this being afraid that, hey my life is going to get too small.
Fischetti: And so, but you know, you can have this relationship with the big, wide world.
McKibben: For a long time, you had to decide whether you're going to stay at home in your tight, local culture or whether you're going to go out into the world and make something of yourself that was how [we phrased] it, you know. And that's no longer [acute a] choice, you know. You can stay at home and be very tied into your local place and yet deeply, deeply connected to the rest of the world, and for me that's not at all an intellectual argument, that's the story of my last couple of years in my life. I mean, you know, me and seven 24-year-olds just organized the most widespread day of political action in the planet's history, with 5,200 rallies in 181 countries from every corner of the planet and, you know, we did it almost entirely through Skype, through, you know, our Web site, through making connections, you know. We did a certain amount of travel, too, but we organized it in such a way that all these things happen very locally and then we could take the unbelievable images that they produced and make them a global spectacle as indeed we did.
McKibben: I think it's in some ways much easier in cities than anyplace else and certainly around the world things like the urban agricultural movement and stuff are just booming. Cities, there's a lot of natural, easy human contact, you know, and it's really cool to see. You know, some cities are so built up that's it's a little difficult, but [even], you know, Shanghai produces something like half its own [fruit] and vegetables within the, you know, county limits. And you know, New York, you know, upstate New York or, you know, the counties to the north of New York are filled with abandoned ag-land, you know, [it's] quite possible to imagine this becoming a much more self-sufficient place than it is at the moment, because it was 100 years ago, when its population was just as large as it is now.
Fischetti: Do you think the way that 350.org is spread and [works would] also succeed in trying to spread [this] vision [of distribution]?
McKibben: Well, it's not quite the same, because we're not, you know, we [wouldn't] try to, sort of, do a big political campaign around it, but it is the way that this, you know, the things like this locavore movement and local agriculture in general have spread very rapidly from local farmers' market[s] to the fastest growing part of the food economy in this country and have been for a decade now, they're just booming everywhere. And it's not because there's some central directorate [of] farmers' markets in Washington [that's telling] people to do it. If anything [the] opposite; everything Washington does makes it difficult to do on this stuff, but it's been people spreading ideas left and right, and it's been great. People do have a channel now to work around established institutions, and that's really important.
Fischetti: The early [assertion] in the book about, I think it's being proved [out], [that] the earth really can't substantiate the resources that we're extracting from it or the waste that we're producing; and there's more studies that are coming out very recently even that are proving starting to put numbers on all of that, so the assertion is I think is that continued growth is not possible without greater resource consumption and [waste creation]. Is that true, first of all?
McKibben: Certainly as things are, as systems [are] set up at the moment. Now you can do things more efficiently and we should and everybody is trying to. But you know, I mean a classic example is looking say at the offer the Chinese made this week on how they're going to reduce the energy intensity of their GDP. We'll reduce it 40 percent by 2020, by 2020 everything we make we'll use 40 percent less energy per dollar or per yuan of value, okay; which is good, I mean, there's no argument to be made against them doing it, but their own economic projections indicate that their economy is going to grow so quickly that they'll be producing more CO2 instead of less at the end of that period. Clearly, we can to some degree or another break some of that absolute iron lock between more consumption and growth, but it's extremely difficult. I mean, it's the reason that Obama isn't willing to take on climate change in a really powerful way because, [everyone is saying] "Well, look at the damage it will do to the economy. The economy is in a rough place, we've got to get the economy back on its feet." At some level, the economy is more real to our, certainly to our policy makers than the physical world. You know we coddle it more, we sit there worrying more about it's, even the words—the economy, you know, [is] in a rough patch, it's ailing, you know, whatever. The inability to remember that the economy is a subset of something larger is a mark of [the modern] age, I'm afraid.
McKibben: Yep, it is the tough [nut].
Fischetti: … poverty, hunger, disease, without growing.
McKibben: Absolutely. It is the tough [nut]. So here's the first thing you got to do is look realistically at what happens to the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world, if we keep doing what we're doing. And the answer is they get drowned, they get dengue fever, the fields on which they depend are either drought ridden or flooded. You take away, I mean, these are the people who in the immediate future have the most at risk from disintegration of ecological systems and are already feeling it in a deep way. As someone who's been to Bangladesh and gotten dengue fever, I can speak of that with a certain amount of firsthand sense. I didn't die, but [there were] a lot of people [dying] when I was there; it's a disease that's increased 200 percent across Asia and South America this decade. So that's the first thing: You don't do poor people any favor by further destabilizing the world. And even the, you know, those countries, their leaders are starting to realize this in a serious way. So then you have to ask what kind of world is, I think, all these questions is single most important thing you have to think about when you're answering them all is what is the impact on the poorest and the most vulnerable people on the planet? And so what is it that does work for poor and vulnerable people? I think the evidence is pretty clear that for instance, local, labor–intensive, low-input agriculture is the smartest option from much of the world, both in terms of providing jobs, security, stability and food, and in making those ecological systems robust enough to withstand the damage that's coming, that's already here.
McKibben: Which means in energy terms, you know, lots and lot[s] of village-scale [solar]; and this is the kind of place where money, you know, and resources should be flowing very, very quickly and freely north to south. We screwed up the climate; it's our absolute responsibility to figure out how to allow poor people to have something approaching a decent life without burning all the coal that they've got. We've got to do that for more reasons and for very pragmatic one[s too].
Fischetti: And the assumption there is that it's still going to be zero growth, I mean, it's balanced absolutely.
McKibben: Yeah, I mean, I don't sort of think about things in quite those terms. I'm much more interested in trajectories.
Fischetti: That's what I was going to ask you. I mean, are you really calling for absolute zero growth?
McKibben: It's not sort of part of the analysis; it's like what do we find out, where do we move if we start moving in a different direction away from anticipating growth as [the] answer to things and start trying. And that's what good and hopeful: We don't know what happens, when we start trying to push on some of these other levers instead. So when you start thinking about localization of economies, when you start thinking about measuring things other than growth, as some countries have begun to do, try to measure satisfaction, [whatever.] Well you know that a lot of things change, but you don't exactly how, because it's not really an experiment [we've tried]. We've been so engrossed in the growth experiment that we've tried very little else. And the growth experiment worked really well for some people for a long time and now it isn't working well, now it's bumped up against its limits.
Fischetti: So, you know, what's going to happen. These ideas are going to get boiled down and [people will] say, "Well there's no growth and that's bad, no growth is bad." So is it really smart growth or is it as you say more of just a philosophy?
McKibben: I'm more interested in, like as I say, in trajectory; in what happens if you start aiming in a different direction. And I don't know, whether I mean, my guess is that in sort of sheer, you know, sort of dollar value terms or whatever, you get less than you have at the moment. Economies measured in certain ways begin to shrink, but I think measured in other ways, things get much more robust and secure. You start having a food supply you can count on. You start having an energy supply you can count on and know that it isn't undermining everything else that you do. You start building—and this is very important—communities strong enough to count on. So your own individual collection of wealth becomes [less] important than the community in which you participate.
Fischetti: Right.[You brought up] Paul Ehrlich [earlier]. His basic argument was population growth, mostly population growth, [mostly population growth and maybe rise in living standards too] will and outstrip the world's resources. [Lester Brown] more recently [he] has talked about [food scarcity causing] social collapse. But I [don't] think you['re] predicting those things but does this sound, in some way[s] similar.
McKibben: Yeah, the M.I.T. Limits to Growth, by William Behrens, Donella Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jørgen Randers. They picked incredibly good proxies, almost you know with a great deal of [prescience]. The proxy they picked for environmental degradation is CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, even though in 1971 no one was paying any attention to CO2. But it was just something, they [weren't] able to say exactly why or what we were going to run out off or what we were going to produce too much of but they were able to make a pretty compelling case that this was the inevitable consequence of a kind of exponential growth world. And much more than population, which proved to be pretty [elastic], you know; fertility rates—and some small part of this is due to Paul Ehrlich's work—dropped immensely. People started figuring out that if you educated women and gave them, empowered them, then fertility rates would change dramatically. We never did figure out what would change consumption rates because we didn't want to. [The whole] point was to consume more, and hence they've gone on a straight-ahead rocket [ride] up for 50 years or 40 years since Limits to Growth [came out]. And we are now, you know, now we are seeing what happen[s]. So they couldn't ' have predicted exactly what the set of events was going to be, that would, because we didn't know about climate change at least [in the way] we know it now. But their timeframe was about right.
McKibben: And maybe it's not. We'll figure out, sort of, what's sensible, you know, ways. One of the things—and Schumacher, by the way, is very interesting, much more complicated and interesting than people give him credit for. I'm writing [a] forward to a new edition of Small is Beautiful and enjoying it immensely. One of the things that we need to get out of this system in order to really get a sense of what [will] work is that incredibly distorting set of subsidies that at the moment send all kinds of bad signals about what we should be doing. So in energy they're very obvious. You know, we've underwritten fossil fuel for very long time and continue to, you know; even the new energy bill is supposed to you know give unbelievable gifts to the nuclear industry; the "clean coal" industry, on and on and on. It's even more egregious in agriculture and food, you know, where almost all of the world's, the country's cropland is now diverted to growing corn and soybeans—not because there's this unbelievable demand to eat corn and soybeans but because there's a federal subsidy for growing them, a subsidy basically written into the law by a few huge corn and soybean consuming companies, Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, whatever, who control the senators of the corn states, you know, and have enough power to enact [egregious] policy [into] law. You know as those things began to wither, and I think they probably will in a world where money becomes somewhat scarcer—I mean look at the size of the deficits we are now running. We have less room to maneuver than we used to, and eventually, you know, even some of these toughly guarded policies will begin to falter—then we'll start to figure out a lot more [about] what scale of organization makes sense. One of the points I make in the book, I have talked about my friend Tod Murphy who runs this great institution called the Farmer's Diner—we probably should've gone down to Middlebury to eat lunch at the Famer's Diner—he always talks about how [what] he needs to make his operation work [are] not huge factory farms because he doesn't want that or buy from them, and really not teeny, tiny you know boutique farmers where you know the name of each of your 10 cows, you know. I need sort of 1950s-scale farms, the kind, the exact kind that are impossible to have in a world, you know, where we subsidize the wrong things.
Fischetti: Right. You make that point also in the book that at least the vision of what the answer would be for food production are more farms where they would be more labor intensive.
Fischetti: … because the farmers, kind of, reap more of the money.
McKibben: Yep, and because, they're working on a project [and] at a scale that's fundamentally satisfying instead of fundamentally industrial [and degrading]. Less than 1 percent of Americans are now really farming at the moment, so there's twice as many prisoners as there are farmers in the United States. We are never going to go back to having 50 percent of America farming but we definitely need more than 1 percent of America farming if we're going to do [with]out vast quantities of fossil fuel, which we can no longer for many reasons continue to do, and I think that will be altogether healthy, and I think there'll be lots of people who will enjoy it immensely. I know that at Middlebury College where I teach [elite students at], a wonderful academic institution, graduates [every year] more than a handful of kids whose biggest desire is to go start farming some place. The college farm and garden is one of its great assets, one of the things that kids love and work hard at and it's incredibly beautiful and productive, and I find that really encouraging. And I mean, you know, given the choice, it seems to me it's a much better use of your talents than going off to Wall Street to, you know, grow a hedge fund of some kind.
Fischetti: And in that system of food production is there a chance that prices would be higher because of the labor?
McKibben: Yeah. It depends. You cut out so many middlemen that, you know that I mean I spent a year eating that wasn't grown locally, my whole family; we still pretty much do a[s] you can tell by our lunch we just had but we were religious [about it] for years, a kind of experiment. Most things weren't more expensive; if you buy vegetables from a CSA, one of these community-supported agriculture farms, I think it's [got] to be [one of the] cheapest way[s] to get foods that there is in this country. But meat is more expensive, partly that's because raising grass-fed beef necessarily is, you know, more careful work and less, you know, industrial than just standing them in a cement lots someplace and tossing corn at them—[heavily] subsidized corn.
McKibben: But frankly eating less meat isn't the end of the world for Americans. It's not like we are the healthiest people that ever live and that, kind of, among other things that we are now beginning to understand that that kind of grass-fed agriculture is exactly what we need to get a lot of carbon and methane back in the soil.
McKibben: Well no, agriculture is what they've, sort of, largely had but people [have], what's happened in Africa and certainly what's happened in Latin America [is] everybody has been kicked off the farm as we have industrialized agriculture. So you go to Mexico, and you pass NAFTA, and suddenly there's a million fewer corn farmers five years later because they can't compete with the subsidized stuff in the American Midwest. And you know what happens when you live in Africa, you know, [or] Mexico or something; you know, chances are [if you're in] Mexico, you might try to come across the border; and if you're in Africa you end up living in a cardboard box on the edge of the national capital. There are some places where that process has worked better. China is the one really powerful example, you know; people have [gone to the] city and, kind of, [gotten] richer and made better lives. But boy, it's on the edge of breaking down in China, too—and there's still 700 million people back on the farm.
McKibben: Yeah. I think it's very [heartening] to see, one of the things that really gives me [heart] in the book that some [of the] best news in the book; this last few years, this spread of all kinds of smart and technologically adept small-scale agriculture around the developing world. That guy [Jules] Pretty that I quote in the book, that English agronomist, [whose the] real [fount of] knowledge about all this, and is one of the most encouraging guys in the world. In certain ways you know, place after place, it's not like it's just we're going back to traditional ways; I mean people have figured out lots of cool things to do, yeah. So you know, people learn how to double dig beds and do various soil conservation techniques; they learn how to intercrop, all kinds of things; agroforestry, learn how to grow large amounts of fish in [a] rice paddy, [so even] if you're rice yield declines a little bit your protein yield goes [through] the roof. This is all, like, very smart stuff. It depends on where you are so there's not going to be one system that spreads across the entire world the way that we've tried to spread industrial fertilizer- or synthetic fertilizer-based agriculture into every corner of the planet. It's going to be much smarter than that and it's much smarter than [that]; and happily farmers are some of the smartest people in the world, so they are completely capable of doing that.

Home | Securing land ownership for women could lift millions of people out of poverty and hunger
Securing land ownership for women could lift millions of people out of poverty and hunger
By: Jen Van Deusen/ ESRI Published: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 Share: Print: Subscribe
Mozambican women and their families receive a government-issued land right certificate based on data collected on Cadasta's Platform under NCBA CLUSA's conservation agriculture program, PROMAC.
Since the first seeds of civilization were planted, access to arable land has been central to human life. Yet even today, 12,000 years later, ownership of rich farm soil has largely been denied to one gender. Women, who make up half of the global adult population and 43 percent of the agricultural workforce, account for less than 15 percent of farmland owners. Nearly 40 percent of the world's economies still limit women's property rights, according to the World Bank. In the remaining 60 percent, male-centric cultural norms and legal inefficiencies still hinder women's rights.
Ensuring women have the right to own land could lift millions of people out of hunger, reduce rural poverty, and improve sustainable natural resource management, according to studies from the United Nations (UN), World Bank, women's rights nonprofit Landesa, and others. Such sources also agree that achieving global gender equity will start with local efforts—often by putting more information in the hands of women.
"It's about data empowerment," said Amy Coughenour Betancourt, CEO of Cadasta, a global nonprofit that connects communities with technologies for recording land and resource rights. "We approach it as enabling local stakeholders to document, secure, and manage their land rights and helping communities understand and use the data that's collected."
Giving women the choice to take ownership of their land starts with building a better understanding of their legal rights, and that begins with capturing digital records. Better access to maps and property data can also simplify proof of ownership, which can be expensive and time-consuming to obtain, particularly in rural communities. In Mozambique, for example, Cadasta worked with local leaders and the National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA International (NCBA CLUSA) to make it easier for local farmers to get a certificate of landownership. Digital maps created with GIS technology eliminated several surveying steps, lowering time and costs from upwards of a year and US$400 in some cases to as little as three months and $30.
"Mozambique is a really good example of how the technology facilitates these processes," Coughenour Betancourt said. "And the efforts in Mozambique emphasize women-led farms—women are given priority, and if the woman is married, she's included on the certificate along with her husband."


Diplomacy is no longer restricted to a single vocation nor implemented exclusively through interaction amongst official representatives. In exploring the challenges that these transformations produce, this work surveys firstly, the genealogy of diplomacy as a profession, tracing how it changed from a civic duty into a vocation requiring training and the acquisition of specific knowledge and skills. Secondly, using the lens of the sociology of professions, the development of diplomacy as a distinctive profession is examined, including its importance for the consolidation of the power of modern nation-states. Thirdly, it examines how the landscape of professional diplomacy is being diversified and enriched by a series of non-state actors, with their corresponding professionals, transforming the phenomenology of contemporary diplomacy. Rather than seeing this pluralization of diplomatic actors in negative terms as the deprofessionalization of diplomacy, we frame these trends as transprofessionalization, that is, as a productive development that reflects the expanded diplomatic space and the intensified pace of global interconnections and networks, and the new possibilities they unleash for practising diplomacy in different milieus.


In Michigan, judges are known to hand down harsh penalties to individuals convicted of drug possession to try and deter future offenses. It is important to ensure that you have aggressive legal counsel on your side. I am Detroit area defense attorney Jonathan Jones, and we want to protect you from the prosecution trying to make an example out of you.
For more than 20 years, we have aggressively defended clients facing felony and misdemeanor drug possession charges. Just because the prosecution claims to have a strong case doesn't mean that they do. Our job is to uncover any weaknesses in the allegations. Based on our decades of experience, we know how to stay ahead of the prosecution while taking every measure possible to defend your rights. Call or text us anytime at (248) 310-3399, or contact us online to learn how we will work relentlessly to protect your rights.
Defending against these charges means attacking each element of the alleged crime. For example, we may work to prove that the accused did not know he or she was in possession of a controlled substance. We may work to show that there was no intent to sell. We may be able to prove that the defendant had a prescription for the drug, or that he or she was otherwise in legal possession. We will thoroughly review the circumstances of your case to help build a defense that is designed to minimize the potential consequences.
The U.S. Constitution protects you from illegal searches and seizures. In order to search you for drugs, the police must have a reasonable suspicion that you illegally possess a controlled substance. To make an arrest, an office must have probable cause to believe you committed a crime. We will take every measure possible to make sure your rights are enforced. We will investigate to determine if the police had a valid reason to pull your car over and search your vehicle. If they did not have a valid reason, we will fight to get the charges dismissed.
We will also conduct a thorough investigation to find out if law enforcement searched your home for evidence of illegal drugs. In order to search your property without permission, law enforcement must obtain a warrant. If the evidence was secured without a warrant or if the terms of the warrant were violated, we will aggressively seek a dismissal of the charges. Every case is unique. You need an experienced lawyer who will not simply negotiate for a reduction of charges, but who will also work to uncover any weaknesses in the case. Since 1995, we have dedicated ourselves to protecting our clients.
Do not attempt to talk your way out of criminal charges without first speaking with a defense lawyer. We are available, day or night, to help guide you through the criminal justice process. Call or text us at (248) 310-3399, or contact us online to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

Gene Francis Alan Pitney, född 17 februari 1940 i Hartford, Connecticut, USA, död 5 april 2006 i Cardiff, Wales, Storbritannien, var en amerikansk sångare och låtskrivare.

Gene Pitney började sin karriär med att skriva låtar som blev hits för andra artister. Några exempel är "Hello Mary Lou", som Ricky Nelson fick en hit med, "He's a Rebel" som The Crystals fick en hit med, och "Today's Teardrops" som blev känd genom Roy Orbison.

År 1961 fick han sin första stora hit "Town Without Pity". De fyra nästföljande åren hade han ett flertal skivframgångar, bland dessa kan nämnas "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa" och "It Hurts to Be in Love". Han motstod även the British invasion fram till 1966 då det inte längre gick lika bra på de amerikanska listorna. Däremot blev han populär i Storbritannien och hade flera hits där under det sena 1960-talet, bland andra "Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart" och "Somewhere in the Country".

Pitneys sista stora hit i USA kom 1968 med "She's a Heartbreaker". År 1989 fick han en hit i Storbritannien och övriga Europa då han sjöng duett tillsammans med Marc Almond i en nyinspelning av "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart".

Han blev invald i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame år 2002.

Gene Pitney hittades död av sin manager 2006 på sitt hotellrum i Cardiff i Wales där han befann sig på turné; dödsorsaken var en hjärtattack. Han efterlämnade hustrun Lynne och sönerna David, Todd och Chris.

There's a new wind blowing through the building that houses Fox News Channel.
Amy Freeze and Craig Herrera spent a recent weekday afternoon in a TV studio at the company's New York headquarters rehearsing, but not for a new opinion program or roundtable show, but for a streamcast focused on the most-up-to-date news about the weather. They talked about oil spills, wildfires and abrupt changes in temperature. At one point, the duo discussed the Biden administration's support of wind power, noting that it would likely help Americans recover more quickly from power outages. A chyron imposed on a screen that captured their exchange read: "Biden administration gives wind farms a boost." Sean Hannity might be seen taking issue with a Biden-backed environmental policy, but Freeze and Herrera just have a report to give. All the duo's work took place in a facility that once served as home to a newsgathering team that supported Shepard Smith, who often led coverage of important national events.
But that's where most of the overt connections to the well-scrutinized Fox Corp. cable network end. There are none of the deep, pervasive Fox News Channel reds to which its viewers have long been accustomed seen here. Instead, Herrera and Freeze are surrounded by teal, warm orange and yellow — colors that remind viewers of weather conditions — because the duo and a phalanx of meteorologists are rehearsing what live coverage might look like for Fox Weather, a new ad-supported live-streamed venue set to launch October 25 that will be available via mobile app, connected TVs, and, in some cases, even via digital cable outlets operated by Fox's local TV stations. As morning becomes afternoon and evening, says Sharri Berg, the executive overseeing the launch, viewers will also see yellow and persimmon. Red will likely surface when severe weather events take place.
"This is a different product," says the executive.
Fox Corp. is counting on it. Fox Weather, built with help from Fox News and Fox's local TV stations, launches at a stormy moment in the field of weather media, and the company's entry into the space isn't to be taken lightly. Fox has over the course of the last few decades made a business of building operations in markets previously believed to be overserved. Its bet on a fourth broadcast network in the 1980s was initially derided, as was its bid to counter CNN with a news network that featured programing with partisan views. Both the Fox broadcast network and Fox News Channel are now among TV's biggest media assets.
And yet Fox's operating family, the Murdochs, have come under scrutiny in the past for the views some of their properties have promulgated regarding which way the wind is really blowing. Australian news properties controlled by Fox Corp.'s corporate sibling, News Corp., have long been criticized for fostering a rebuke of climate science. The company has denied those claims, and, In a notable maneuver, the Australian holdings this month planned to run a two-week campaign calling for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Meanwhile, all three Fox News primetime opinion hosts have on occasion pushed back on proposed climate-change policies from the left. Laura Ingraham, for example, earlier this year warned her viewers of "greeniacs" who want to seize upon "another hyped crisis" to impose severe rules.
Berg doesn't see politics in the Fox Weather forecast. "If you're asking about climate change, climate change is part of our lives. It's how we live. It's not going to be ignored," says Berg, who acknowledges that Fox Weather's handling of the issue is "the question many people have." At Fox Weather, she adds, "we will be reporting facts," with meteorologists who "came here to build a service for our viewers. We will have all the best tools at their disposal to understand the forecast, communicate that and make sure that the risk and action taken by the viewer is clear."
The weather news cycle is expected to churn as intensely as the one centered on politics. Extreme weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes and heat spikes are projected to become more common, a phenomenon that could give rise to all kinds of other conditions that consumers will be eager to understand. The earth's changing climate could affect individuals' health, says Jon Nese, associate head of undergraduate programs at Pennsylvania State University's Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, and will probably spur new decisions by major corporations. It could even prompt debates about national security as permafrost and ice melt in polar regions.
"I don't think the topic of climate change is going way anytime soon as part of the public discourse," he says.
Many companies have found a business in weather, including The Weather Channel, which the market-research firm Kagan, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, projects will generate more than $260 million in ad revenue and distribution fees in 2021. Even Berg acknowledges that "the marketplace is overcrowded. You have your top ten weather apps and hundreds of niche free apps and pay apps." But the sheer number of weather outlets, she says, "shows you consumers are going from platform to platform for the weather information they want," and a smart company can gather more of it under one umbrella.
Indeed, the battle for weather aficionados is likely to create a clash. Weather Channel, owned by influential entrepreneur Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios, announced months ago it was planning a more intense focus on changes in the environment, citing consumers' rising interest in climate change. Fox, never known as a corporate shrinking violet, intends to promote Fox Weather during football telecasts on its broadcast network and via Fox News. It has hired some Weather Channel personnel and recently struck a deal for exclusive data with WeatherStem, which provides information and video collegiate and NFL stadiums across the U.S. The company has worked with Weather Channel in the past.
The environment is changing rapidly in the business of traditional media as well. Big cable networks like Fox News Channel continue to generate millions of dollars in advertising and distribution fees every year, but audiences for traditional TV are migrating to streaming hub such as Netflix, Hulu and HBO Max. Like other cable giants that range from ESPN to TNT, Fox News is projected to lose subscribers in years to come. In 2021, the cable-news outlet is projected to shed about 5% of its subscribers, ending the year with 76.8 million, according to Kagan. In 2020, the network had 81.1 million subscribers.
Fox Weather is part of a growing assortment of broadband products launched by Fox News Media under CEO Suzanne Scott. Fox Nation serves as a sort of "Netflix for conservatives," offering a regular show from Tucker Carlson, true crime stories from Nancy Grace and, at times, movies from Clint Eastwood. A streaming service launched in 2020 makes Fox News programming available to overseas subscribers. If successful, Berg says, Fox Weather will "expand our ecosystem."
There is hope Fox Weather will also broaden the roster of advertisers using a Fox News Media outlet. Candy manufacturers and soda marketers, not the typical buyers of ads in news and opinion content, are reserving inventory on Fox Weather, says Jeff Collins, executive vice president of ad sales at Fox News Media, in an interview. But the company is selling ad time to new advertisers as well as packages to pre-existing Fox News sponsors, he says, including four charter sponsors he declined to name. Advertisers can plan ideas around specific weather developments, he says, like storm coverage. Part of the appeal, he says, is that weather is "brand safe" and not likely to align advertisers with controversial content.
Fox is betting it can become a go-to resource for weather aficionados. One feature on the new app lets users keep tabs on how weather conditions are shaping up at coming events, like a daughter's wedding, a trip to the Bahamas or a college reunion. Users will be able to tap 3-D radar to examine weather patterns and get alerts that inform them about 42 different weather elements that might harm people or property. Other services make users go to a website or behind a paywall for a 14-day forecast, Berg says. Fox Weather makes the next two weeks of weather projections available to all.
At the heart of the venture is the very personal connection consumers develop with their weather providers. Herrera, who will serve as an anchor during Fox Weather's live-streamed programming, remembers times when he'd cancel a planned shopping trip to avoid people after he missed a forecast and the rain he said would arrive didn't, or showed up hours later. "It's important to own it. 'I said this was going to happen. It didn't. Let me tell you why it didn't,'" he says. In a time of great change for the media industry, a different type of forecaster will have to examine whether Fox Weather can prevail amid shifting patterns.

The Civic Society column with David Winpenny

Published: 15:45 Sunday 28 October 2018
Motorways are convenient for getting about the country – though not usually the most pleasant of experiences. Most service stations leave much to be desired, though there are exceptions; the Tebay Services on the M6 and the Gloucester Services on the M5 are usually considered to be worth stopping at.
For those of us who desire something a little less frantic or more culinarily satisfying than a services stop, there has grown up a small publishing industry that guides us off the motorway to something a little better.

They have titles like 'Just off the Motorway', 'Five Minutes from the Motorway' and 'The Extra Mile'. Each does an excellent job – through they can soon be out of date as the places they direct us to change or close.
But what if our aim is not so much sustenance (for our body or for our vehicle) but for something interesting to see en route? There is not a great deal of help to be found for this type of off-the-motorway venture, but along every route pleasures – major or minor – can be found.
So, taking the nearest stretch of motorway to Ripon, here are a few suggestions of what to see just a mile from route – though bear in mind that this is a crow-flight mile; the paucity of junctions may require you to make a longer journey to reach the site by road!
The A1(M) from Junction 51 at Leeming Bar to Junction 43, where the M1 begins, is our sample.
All�es at Bramham Park. (Copyright - David Winpenny)
Bedale itself falls just outside our self-imposed one-mile limit, so let's make our first call at Kirklington church. St Michael's has its own Ripon links, as mountaineer Charles Hudson, who was born in Park Street and was among the party that first climbed the Matterhorn, was curate here. At the end of the south aisle is an impressive stained-glass window by Catherine O'Brien of An Túr Gloin (The Glass Tower), an important Dublin-based studio. Notice the church choir in procession at the bottom.
Next, a detour on the narrow lane that circles though Middleton Quernhow to look at the ruins of the Manor House, built in the first part of the 17th century. The surviving part has a five-stage chimney and two mullioned-and-tramsomed windows (one blocked) with pediments. The house was abandoned in the 18th century.
On the other side of the motorway are the villages of Baldersby and Baldersby St James, both with buildings designed by the 19th-century architect William Butterfield.
Baldersby has some of his typical cottages, with half-hipped roofs and decorative brickwork.
There are some at Baldersby St James, too, but the highlight here is St James' Church, one of Butterfield's masterpieces. Its tall spire is a landmark, and the interior, of brick and stone, glows with the stained glass of Frederick Preedy. Many of Butterfield's furniture and fittings survive.
Further south there are the Devil's Arrows at Boroughbridge. The antiquarian William Stukeley believed them to have been the remains of two concentric stone circles, but they are now considered to be part of the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age ceremonial monuments, including Thornborough Henges, in the Ure valley.
South again to Allerton Park. 'The Buildings of England' calls it 'a disappointment, externally at least', but the interior makes up for the drabness of the gritstone outside. Built 1845 to 1851 for the 19th Lord Stourton, it has an impressive, double-height central hall with a hammer-beam and a sweeping staircase. The restoration (twice, once in the 1980s and 1990s and again after a fire in 2005) has been meticulous.
Free fondant fancies at Bettys today for its 100th anniversary
Crossing to the west side of the motorway again, it's worth calling at the Bridge Inn at Walshford and asking to see the Byron Room.
It's a surprise; the hotel is an undistinguished mid-20th-century effort, but the room has mid-18th-century Rococo plasterwork.
The explanation is that the decoration was bought when Halnaby Hall near Darlington was demolished in 1952 and eventually placed here. And why Byron?
The poet spent his, by all accounts disastrous, honeymoon at Halnaby.
At Cowthorpe there is another unusual survivor, a piece of church furniture. St Michael's church has a rare wooden Easter Sepulchre.
In the form of a canopied chest, it was made in the 15th century to hold the consecrated host from Maundy Thursday until the ceremonies of Easter Eve. It is unusual in that, unlike most other Easter Sepulchres, it is portable, and may have been used in procession.
South of Wetherby (itself worth a visit) is Bramham Park. By appointment you can visit the fascinating early 18th-century garden, the best-preserved example in Britain of a French-style garden. Its straight allées, bounded by beech hedges, are interspersed with temples and urns, and there are canals and waterworks. They are in two parts, joined by a 'boulevard' across a valley.
Like Halnaby Hall, the house at Parlington Park at Aberford was demolished in 1952, but muct of the park layout survives, along with a number of buildings, including the Triumphal Arch.
It's a really a piece of stage scenery, as it has little depth.It was designed for Sir Thomas Gascoigne and was completed in 1783. Thirteen years later the Prince of Wales was on his way to visit Parlington. He reached the arch and read the inscription on the top – 'Liberty in N America Triumphant'. He immediately turned his carriage round and headed off – he wasn't about to stay with revolutionaries.
One final stop on this quick trip down the A1(M) takes us to Lotherton Hall, another Gascoigne property. Now run as a museum by Leeds City Council, the house, mostly Edwardian, is displayed with its early-20th-century interiors. The chapel nearby is Norman and has a rood by Sir Ninian Comper over the chancel arch, who also designed Ripon Cathedral's high altar. And if architectural interest is faltering, there's always the attractive bird garden to enjoy.
Just off this short stretch of road these is plenty to see (and, indeed, much more not mentioned here); it's a scenario that, with a little investigation, can be replicated along all the country's more than 2000 miles of motorway.

Billy Brewer, Archie Moore, Lafayette Stribling, Anna Jackson, Mike Jones and Joe Walker, Jr. are the 2018 Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame class.
Anna Jackson had been wondering when the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame would call. She started debating if she would need to come out of retirement and win another nine state championships.
"Then, maybe I would get the call," Jackson joked.
But the Hall of Fame finally did this year. She remembered doing a fist pump and yelling when she won her first state title as Murrah's women's basketball coach, and she did that same fist pump when she was named to the 2018 Hall of Fame class.
In addition to Jackson, the Hall of Fame inductees announced Monday were former Ole Miss player and coach Billy Brewer, Mississippi Valley State coach Lafayette Stribling, world light heavyweight champ Archie Moore, Mississippi College basketball coach and current athletic director Mike Jones and Ole Miss and Mississippi College track and field coach Joe Walker Jr.
For some, this honor was a surprise. For others, this was another accomplishment on a long list of them. All of them, though, said this meant as as much as any because it's for Mississippi.
"When you make a bucket list, this is the top of your list," Brewer said.
Walker Jr. talked about his pride in this state as well. He told the story of coaching a Romanian athlete who asked the right way to say Mississippi.
Well, did she want to say it correctly?
Hall of Fame executive director Bill Blackwell said Walker Jr. may have been the most excited when he got the call. Walker Jr. grew up idolizing the people in the Hall, watching them and never thinking he would join them.
"People that are in this Hall of Fame are all my heroes," he said.
Stribling, known for his flamboyant suits, wore a tame suit but with a red and white candy-striped bowtie and pocket square.
Stribling talked about hands, and how all of the people being inducted are likely there because of the hands that impacted their lives. He joked about how a basketball in his hands is worth $45, but a ball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth $45 million.
"Let me tell you, I've been in good hands," Stribling said.
When Moore was coming up boxing in the '30s and '40s, white fighters were allowed to simply decline to fight a black man if they didn't want to. Moore had to move to Argentina for a year to get fights, and he lived with Argentinean dictator Juan Peron while he did it.
Despite moving as a kid and living in Argentina and ending up in California, Moore was always a Mississippian at heart.
Walker Jr. spoke about wishing his father, a track and field coach himself, was alive to see this. It would have meant a lot to him, Walker Jr. said. Moore wasn't alive to see himself inducted either, but he had a son there to tell all of his stories.
Meanwhile, Stribling enjoyed this day in another way. It was likely his final event of this kind, a final chance to be honored.


A symbiote epic 35 years in the making?
Marvel Comics has spent the past year dropping major bombshells for Venom and Carnage, and their newest Free Comic Book Day special teases even bigger things to come.
As part of their solicitation for this year's FCBD: Amazing Spider-Man special, Marvel teases, "Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman join forces again for a story that's been brewing since classic Spidey tales like AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #252, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #90, and MARVEL TEAM-UP #141. Prepare for absolute terror as this Venom story by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman sets the stage for what will become one of the most fearsome events in the Marvel Universe…"
Obviously, that doesn't reveal much about the actual plot of these two stories. However, Stegman's cover gives us some idea of what's coming, showcasing Carnage looming and preparing to consume the world.
What's most intriguing about this announcement is the way Marvel is specifically calling back to the very beginning of the Venom saga. Amazing Spider-Man #252, Spectacular Spider-Man #90 and Marvel Team-Up #141 were all among the first comics to showcase Peter Parker's new black costume acquired during the events of Secret Wars. At that point, it would be years before readers learned the costume was actually a hostile alien symbiote, and longer still before the symbiote passed from Peter to Eddie Brock.
Whatever major storyline this FCBD issue is setting up, the fact that Marvel is calling back to these prototypical Venom stories suggests Cates and Stegman have very ambitious plans in mind. Already, these creators have done a great deal to revamp the mythology behind Venom and the symbiotes in the series' first year. They've revealed that the symbiotes were originally spawned from an ancient god named Knull. Cates and Stegman have also redefined the dynamic between Eddie and his suit, rewriting Venom's history and showing just how dysfunctional their relationship truly is.
Cates has also begun quietly revamping Carnage thanks to the recent Web of Venom: Carnage Born special. Even as that issue restored Cletus Kasady to a more traditional status quo (following a period where the Carnage symbiote has passed on to Norman Osborn), it also radically redefined his role as a Spider-Man villain. Carnage is now aware of his powerful connection to Knull. By devouring other symbiotes, he brings himself ever closer to his god.
That may well be what Stegman's cover image is teasing, This mystery Venom/Spider-Man storyline may well involve both characters joining forces to stop Carnage from eliminating his rivals and becoming truly all-powerful. Picture 1993's Maximum Carnage crossover with a cosmic twist. This could be just the story to hook new readers as hype for Venom 2 and the cinematic debut of Carnage begins building.
FCBD: Amazing Spider-Man will be released on Saturday, May 4. For more on Cates and Stegman's series, here's why it's helped redefine Venom outside the context of the Spider-Man franchise.

No Endless War or Excessive Militarism efforts continue on
February 21, 2019 No Endless War and Excessive Militarism Peace
On Wednesday we created visibility around Jack Reed as we had a small gathering on the sidewalks along Chapel View Blvd and Route 2 (New London Ave) in Cranston. This is the plaza where his office is located. We oppose our government's easy inclination to go along with war and militarism. We looked to press Reed to shift our economic priorities away from corporate profits for arms merchants and back towards education, infrastructure, constructing wind turbines, solar panels, engineering and constructing resiliency efforts to address climate change, as well as helping those in need. More and more Rhode Islanders are realizing that war, violence, and militarism are not progressive values. In short, we would like Reed, Langevin, Whitehouse to support the Green New Deal and similar ideals, and put less money toward oversea military adventures and military budgets.
Reed thankfully shifted his stance in supporting Saudi Arabia and their War on Yemen at the end of November. Will he continue on toward reducing war and militarism and be open to repealing and/or replacing the current Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which is open-ended and has no end in sight? Will he follow Senator Jeff Merkley's (Democrat, Oregon) lead and advocate to replace it with a better effort that will ensure Congress' continued and direct oversight rather than possibly codify presidential powers over the funding, declaration, and running of wars and military actions? This is where much of our advocacy and activism is and needs to be.
We also try to focus on imagining a world not driven by war, hate, xenophobia, violence, and militarism. We envision and look to a world more driven by common values of people's lives and rights, lifting up those most in need, a more just and peaceful world.
The question of whether we support Saudi Arabia's War on Yemen continues. We note the House's successful and historic passage of legislation from Representative Ro Khanna (Democrat, California) limiting our support of Saudi Arabia last week. The Senate passed similar legislation last year, with all the Dems' support. Will the Senate and Reed and the necessary number of Republicans support when it comes up again, hopefully within the next week?
We are interested to see Reed, Whitehouse, and Langevin's follow-through and urgency with these efforts, and see if they overlap into military weapons sales generally, a re-thinking of our burgeoning military budget, and growing over-reliance on a militaristic economy for jobs here in Rhode Island and the United States. Just two years ago, the military budget was $620 billion. It is now $717 billion, and Trump wants it upped to $750 billion! Reed, Langevin, and Whitehouse voted for these increases. They must be pressed to not continue, and our state legislators, progressives in particular, need to do their part too. No more cheap photo ops until Jack, Jim, and Sheldon start to work and vote to put our resources toward the needs of our people.
We call for a reasonable and steady conversion of the Rhode Island economy away from one hooked on producing weapons of death, like the ones that have been used to slaughter innocent Yemeni civilians for years.
Saudi Arabia clearly felt like they had free rein to do what they want with Trump, majority of the GOP, and congresspeople such as Reed, Langevin, and Whitehouse putting military weaponry sales at such a premium over human rights concerns. What role did this play in the grisly murder of American resident and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the very highest of Saudi Arabian interests? As we genuinely appreciate their recent change, we need to be mindful of past approaches, keep present and future goals in mind, and ensure there are lessons learned and applied.
Call Reed and Whitehouse, if you haven't already, to thank them for their votes at the end of November to pass the Sanders-Lee-Murphy resolution to end our support of the War on Yemen. Call Langevin and express your thanks for his vote to end our support of the War on Yemen. After you express thanks, ask each of them to repeal and replace the AUMF ( The effort of Barbara Lee (Democrat, California) in the House and Jeff Merkley in the Senate) and to reduce the military budget and sales of war machinery around the world including South and Central America.
Reed – 401-943-3100
Langevin – 401-732-9400
Whitehouse – 401-453-5294
Call Cicilline and thank him for his consistent opposition to the War on Yemen. Request his active support of repealing the current AUMF and advocating for a reduced military budget. 401-729-5600. The rest of our congressional delegation should follow Cicilline's lead as well as that of most of the rest of New England's delegation.
Our demonstration today was simple. There were 7 or 8 people gathered on the sidewalks along the plaza. People were there peacefully with signs. We received a lot of positive feedback from passersby, good honking, thumbs-up, peace signs, and waving. Public awareness is building that there are other avenues for our public officials to take. Make your calls, talk to your state legislators about these issues, build awareness with your friends, co-workers, and family.
As always, we believe the key for successful demonstration is to Respect Ourselves, Others, and Community. These are positive interactions to publicly challenge our elected officials, and work to change how they conduct our business and improve their service of our interests.

First of all, congratulations to this student for use of the word 'since'. Perhaps she read my previous post dealing with because, since and as?
Unfortunately the use of 'financial' here lacks coherence because the Indonesian version of 'financial' – finansial – is used informally as a noun, whereas in English it is always an adjective. The reader is left wondering.. financial what?

Plunjervering was de eerste redelijk werkende vorm van achtervering voor motorfietsen.

Voor de constructie van plunjervering hoefde het frame nauwelijks gewijzigd te worden. Er komt bijvoorbeeld geen swingarm achtervork aan te pas. Bij plunjervering werden de achterste schokdempers aan het frame bevestigd, terwijl alleen het wiel een veerbeweging maakte.

A: I believe this was the error I was running across in python.
If you set up your binance account with binance.us instead of binance.com you need to make sure that you change it in the scource files. In python it was as easy as passing the 'tld="us"' parameter when initializing the client class.
I saw that you had " url = |https://api.binance.com/api/v1/userDataStream|"
You may need " url = |https://api.binance.us/api/v1/userDataStream|"
Also, I noticed that your url had api/v1, just wanted to make sure that when you are grabbing account information or other requests that require your api_secret key it should roll over api/v2 or api/v3.
I am not familiar with C++ but here is a solution to perform a find/replace in python. Hope this information helps you!
You will need to navigate to the directory your github-downloaded files are located and try the following:
check this code to make sure it is not replacing any .com's you may need.
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(os.curdir):
    for f in files:
        file_name = os.path.join(root, f):
            try:

                with open(file_name, 'w') as fp:

Police have launched a murder inquiry after a man died following an assault at Valley Centertainment in Sheffield.
Where and when did the assault happen?
Officers were called yesterday evening at around 9.20pm to reports of a man being assaulted outside the Cineworld cinema at Valley Centertainment in Sheffield.
What do we know about the victim?
He has not been named yet but police say he is believed to be in his 20s. Formal identification and a forensic post-mortem examination have yet to take place.
Six men and one woman were arrested overnight on suspicion of murder. They remained in police custody this evening.
Is this believed to be linked to other recent stabbings in Sheffield?
Police say they believe this is an 'isolated' incident but patrols have been stepped up in the area to reassure members of the public.
It remains open as normal. Cineworld Sheffield said entry to the cinema was via the Starbucks store, while the police cordon remained in place.
How can members of the public help police?
Police have asked for anyone with information to call 101, quoting the incident number 950 of September 21. Detectives are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and has dashcam footage.

Q: How fix SMTP connection from an Azure Website? Actually we have our website in WindowsAzure.
Its a Classic ASP site and its configured as a "Standard WebSite", 32Bit platform and its working with our domain.
As a traditional web, it uses a SMTP server to send email (ie. contacts from contact page).
We know Azure don´t provide SMTP server so we have tried with all these service with no luck:

*

*RackSpace

*Mandrill App

*SendGrid (Recommended here).
For all of them, we are getting this error: "The transport failed to connect to the server."
How we can fix it?
Thanks,

A: We don´t know why but suddenly it begins to work.
The only change we did in the Azure config was putting ON the WebSockets but we think it was the solution.
We left the Mandrill smtp Server.

Years with company: I began working for Shari's over 30 years ago when our company had only a few locations, today we have 103 restaurants. I began my career with Shari's as a server, was promoted to an assistant and later a general manager. As our company grew, I was given the opportunity to develop our Training Department and this year to also manage our Human Resources department.
I try to stay current and active in our industry. I've been a member of CHART (Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers) for 12 years. CHART is a wonderful organization, committed to advancing industry training practices and improving organization results. I've also served on Oregon's Restaurant Association's Education Foundation, a group that is very committed to the Pro-Start program, which encourages young people in restaurant careers. I've served on the local Culinary Institute's board and regularly speak to students in George Fox University's culinary program. For the last two years, I've studied Spanish to prepare for a service team that went to Honduras to work with emerging villages to learn about community health, education and relations. As many of our employees are Hispanic, it helped me appreciate all they have done to improve the lives of themselves and their families.
Larry Curtis, our former CEO, always encouraged and supported my vision for training at Shari's. Larry's favorite saying was, "A day I haven't learned something new is a wasted day." I truly believe that.
I feel very fortunate in my career and feel compelled to create the same opportunity for advancement for our employees that I have had. I consciously build a career path into all of our training programs to allow our employees to continue working while developing their skills, and hopefully to be promoted to positions of more responsibility and authority. To me, there is hardly anything more rewarding than watching someone progress that you have had a hand in identifying, developing and mentoring. I truly hope that I am passing that desire on to the managers we train.
To me, the biggest challenge is to make sure that I am directing our team's efforts to guide and support our hard working managers and front line staff, to take time to really listen and develop effective solutions to help them be successful.
First, expect to work hard and be a contributor, align your efforts to the strategic goals of your company and be a solution finder. Second, be curious and always learn more, and especially learn to embrace change. Third, recognize your team, I am surrounded by creative, caring and dedicated people – they make me want to be better. And lastly, be strong in your faith.
I love to play golf; I enjoy reading and spending time with my husband on our new boat and learning to be the "Favorite Grandma" to my first grandson.
