Effort/Hustle – Going 100% on every play doesn't have anything to do skill. Having a high motor and giving hustle and effort on every play is only a positive and is something that a player can control. Remember scouts and coaches and not just watching highlight tapes, they are watching full games to see what you do on every snap.
Accepting Coaching – Remember scouts are going to talk to coaches about prospects, from the head coach down to the position coaches and one thing coaches are going to is be honest with the scouts because coaches know that they are only as good as their word when it comes to what they tell the scouts. So if the prospect will accept coaching, willing to do what the coaches ask of him are all things that a prospect has control over.
Domestic Violence/ Violence against Women – There are many documented cases that has affected guys draft status including a few years ago with running back Joe Mixon (Cincinnati Bengals). Even with this happening a few years ago many teams took him off their draft board and he dropped a lot further in the draft then many people had him graded on film.
Work Ethic – As a prospect are you a hard worker in the weight room, on the practice field, in the class room. Thing is one thing that a prospect can control. One of the most important resource to a NFL scout is the weight room coach or the strength and conditioning coach. Scouts are going to ask does this prospect show up for work outs, does he do extra, do you have to push him to give effort? All things that can be controlled.

Social Media – Monitoring and reviewing player's social media has become a big time in the recent years. Scouts are looking to see what the prospect is posting on these platforms. They are looking for is the player posting about football? Some of the red flags they are looking for is the prospect posting about Guns, Violence, Drugs, Alcohol, etc.?

Medical and Character part of NFL Prospect draft grade
Player's NFL Draft grade is much more then what a player does on the field or how fast he runs at the NFL Combine. Two of things most over looked when fans are watching the NFL draft and wondering why a certain player hasn't been picked is medical and character. We saw this play out in the 2015 NFL Draft.
RB Jay Ajayi of Boise State had a 2nd round grade on him by most people as a football player but had to wait to be drafted until the 5th round by the Miami Dolphins because of a concern about his knee which he tore his ACL back in 2011 but hadn't missed a game since coming back from the injury. There were reports that he flunked some physicals and that there is bone-on-bone according to some of the doctors, and people question how long he will last in the NFL. GM's and personal people with the NFL club look to their team doctors to make final say on if a prospect can be keep on the draft board or taken off based on the medical information. We have seen what he has done this season that he has been one of the more productive running backs in the NFL.
On the flip side there were some character concerns involving drugs that cost a few NFL prospects including Randy Gregory, Nebraska who most thought was a top 10 NFL Draft prospect who had a failed drug test at the NFL combine and also reports that teams were concerned that he wasn't as mature as they would like. Gregory was drafted in the 2nd round 60th overall by the Dallas Cowboys. Some NFL clubs will take a player off their team draft board completely because of character concerns. Gregory was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season due to violating the league's drug policy. A few months later, Gregory failed a second drug test, and received an additional 10-game suspension.
With medical issues there is not much a player can do to alleviate the concerns of a NFL team. But the character grade the NFL teams give a NFL prospect that is something that a prospect can have an influence on, true everyone makes mistakes but some mistakes cost players more than others.
What goes into a prospects NFL grade? Well here is a quick list of what makes up a NFL grade on a prospect.
1. Film – Mostly from prospect final year in college
2. Athleticism – Each team has certain things they are looking at from the testing numbers (Height, Weight, 40, Vertical, etc.)
3. Medical
4. Character
5. Football IQ – This would include personality testing as well as ability to process information (Wonderlic)
6. Scheme Fit – Each team is looking at a prospect based on how they fit what their offense or defense likes to do. (Example 3-4 vs. 4-3 defense, how does the Defensive linemen fit their scheme)

TREVOR SIEMIAN JOURNEY TO THE NFL
By Rick Serritella – Guest Writer
Everything came crashing down on November 22, 2014 in West Lafayette, Indiana against Purdue just a week after Northwestern and Trevor Siemian had beat Notre Dame in upset, Siemian had tore his left ACL and him and many people thought maybe his football career was over.
What was looking like a breakout senior season that would help boost his NFL Draft stock, all of sudden ended in a single play with a pop. Suddenly, the agents stopped calling. How many teams would want to invest a draft pick on a quarterback rehabbing from a major injury? When the phone went silent, there was still one agent who showed a tremendous amount of interest in representing Siemian.
For college football players who have the talent to play at the next level, they will hear from numerous agents wishing to represent them, beginning in the summer and throughout the football season. Just like the recruiting process of selecting a school to play for, they must now weigh their options and determine which agent will provide the best opportunity for their professional career.
Early on in the process, Siemian was contacted by Justin VanFulpen, an agent for Summit Sports, about the possibility of representation. There were some texts back and forth about the process and what type of strategy would be implemented and then communication tailed off, leaving VanFulpen wondering if Siemian would even be a client. The college football season was winding down in December, when VanFulpen received a phone call from the father of Trevor Siemian asking if he was still interested in representing his son. A few conversations later Siemian, along with the advice of his family chose VanFulpen to represent him.
The next steps were to implement a plan of attack that not only would help Siemian receive world class training and rehabilitation but also the blueprint for how to maximize his exposure to NFL teams, while rehabbing from the ACL injury. On a Saturday afternoon in January, Siemian and VanFulpen met at a local restaurant near the Northwestern campus for several hours to hash out the details.
Once the plan of attack was established, it was up to VanFulpen to deliver for his client to ensure every step of the process would be handled with great care and executed with precise attention to detail.
Due to the nature of his situation surrounding the injury, Siemian was just six weeks into the rehabilitation process and required a more personalized training regime. The next step required VanFulpen determining the best place for Siemian to train leading up to the 2015 NFL Draft. Siemian had torn his left ACL in his knee and it would take at least six months to heal and would have to get cleared by the doctor that did the surgery as well as any team doctor in the NFL, before they would like him back on the field to compete.
In February, VanFulpen would travel to Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine to meet with renowned NFL Trainer Brian Martin, who has prepped hundreds of players with his football combine training program. Not only would Siemian speak with Martin but his new company, Parabolic Performance and Rehab in New Jersey was also staffed with some of the premier doctors in the state.
After the initial dialogue with Martin in Indianapolis, VanFulpen was certain that Parabolic Performance & Rehab was the best option for Siemian's training. Not only would he receive personalized one-on-one training with quarterback guru Jay Fiedler but Siemian would also be tended to by the doctors on a daily basis, a unique business model in the combine prep training industry and a first of its kind. Next, VanFulpen arranged a phone call from Indianapolis for Siemian to speak with Martin and his team of doctors. It was unanimous, Parabolic Performance & Rehab would be their training facility of choice.
Since Siemian wasn't a household name to the mainstream media, VanFulpen began tapping into his media connections in order to help get Siemian additional exposure. In addition to coming off an injury, Siemian was not one of the 15 quarterbacks chosen for the combine. It was beneficial to help get Siemian's name and his story out to the masses as much as possible. Soon, a google search typing in 'Trevor Siemian NFL Draft' would net over 25,000 results.
Before leaving for Parabolic and training Siemian and VanFulpen made the decision that it would be a good thing for Siemian to go Northwestern Pro Day on Tuesday, March 3rd even if he couldn't do any throwing or anything at all to see the NFL scouts that would be there and let them know about the plan and also to support his teammates as they went thru the process.
During the training process, VanFulpen would keep all 32 NFL teams abreast of the progress Siemian was making, which included scanning and emailing over the latest medical reports and progress evaluations. In March, VanFulpen would receive a phone call from Matt Russell, the Denver Broncos Director of Player Personal. Russell expressed the interest that the Broncos had in Siemian and wanted to fly him in for one of their Top 30 visits. Each NFL team can bring in only 30 prospects to their team facility to meet with their coaches, doctors, front office staff and scouts. To make things work with everyone schedule on April 2nd Siemian flew from Parabolic in New Jersey, to Denver and they back to Chicago the same day.
Siemian was invited to the Chicago Bears local workout on Wednesday, April 7th where he went and just was able to throw three and five-step drops for the Bears scouts to see.
On April 8th the night before his April 9th throwing day at Northwestern, Siemian would have dinner with Broncos quarterback coach Greg Knapp, an inkling that there could be serious interest from the organization.
While Siemian was not yet cleared by doctors to do a full workout for NFL teams, VanFulpen coordinated a throwing session for scouts and executives, so that they could see the progress made since the injury. Unable to roll out due to the rehab process, Siemian would put his arm on display with a workout that included about 60 throws and involved three-step, five-step and seven-step straight back drops. The Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans would all be in attendance for the workout but there was one familiar face in the crowd who stood out, the Broncos Greg Knapp. Following the workout, Siemian and VanFulpen went to lunch to discuss what to expect over the course of the next month leading up to the draft, which was being held nearby Siemian's alma mater in Chicago.
The workout generated more interest from teams around the league. The Cleveland Browns were next to call and fly Siemian in for one of their top 30 visits. The Browns also had legitimate interest, meeting with Siemian for two days on April 19th and 20th, the following day on the 21st, Cleveland quarterback coach Kevin O'Connell and offensive coordinator John DeFilippo would put him through a private workout.
Because of the interest VanFulpen was able to set up multiple interviews and stories with outlets like The Sports News, CBS Sports, NFL.com, and more to help push Siemian name and story.
As word spread around the league, Siemian's draft stock was skyrocketing at the ultimate time. With just two week's to go leading up to the draft, VanFulpen was receiving phone calls from teams on a daily basis. It was his belief heading into the draft that if there were six quarterbacks selected by round five, that Siemian would have a strong chance of being selected, information which he would share with his client.
All the hard work had been done. Siemian had maximized the most of his exposure, despite being limited by the injury. VanFulpen at this point had spoken with every NFL team in regards to his client. It was now time to sit back and watch how the 2015 NFL Draft, held April 30th thru May 2nd would unfold.
On day one of the three-day event, Thursday, the two quarterbacks selected number one and number two overall were the talk of the draft. Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota were off the board and there was talk near the end of round one that the Saints were contemplating a quarterback but did not actually come to fruition.
On Friday, the NFL would conduct rounds two and three. There wasn't a real sense that Siemian would be drafted that day but Siemian and VanFulpen would watch in anticipation to see how many quarterbacks would be gone entering day three. Much to their dismay, just two more quarterbacks were selected, bring the total to four, through the first three rounds.
The final day, Saturday, would hold the fate of Siemian's future, as rounds four through seven would be completed. Whether his was to hear his name called during the late rounds or sign as an undrafted rookie free agent, Siemian would know which city he would be locating to begin his NFL journey.
The way the draft was unfolding, Siemian and VanFulpen could expect the unexpected. Many of the draft pundits had signal-callers Bryce Petty and Brett Hundley rated as early round prospects. They would not come off the board until round four, when the Saints finally decided to use one of their picks on a quarterback with Petty and round five, with Hundley landing with the Packers 147th overall. The sixth round would pass by without a single quarterback being taken.
Siemian had received a text earlier that morning from Cleveland stating that they were going to find a way to make him a member of the Browns. Early in the seventh round, VanFulpen's phone would ring—It was a number he did not recognize.
It was Brian Starks and area scouts from the Denver Broncos on the line expressing interest to potentially bring Siemian in as an undrafted rookie free agent. Preparation is the key to success and VanFulpen was quick to inform them that other teams had expressed interest in Siemian. He also knew that Denver held three picks at the end of round seven, which he was wise to pint out, suggesting that the team should consider using one of those selections to ensure Siemian was a Bronco. The conversation concludes with no sure commitment that Denver would select Siemian. It would be up to general manager John Elway, a Hall of Fame quarterback in his own right, to decide.
Following the dialogue with Denver, VanFulpen turned his attention to his client and discussed options with Siemian and his family should he not get drafted. They all agree that Denver is the best landing spot but wait and see how the remainder of the draft would unfold.
It was pick number 249 and Denver would be on the clock next with the first of their three selections in the seventh round. Having an inkling that Siemian could be selected here, VanFulpen turns the dial to ESPN for their draft coverage. As he awaits the pick, he looks down at his phone and starts receiving congratulations texts, as he switches over to NFL Network, they are running Northwestern highlights of Siemian. With the 250th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Siemian had been selected by the Denver Broncos! Knowing that this was the scenario everyone in their circle wanted the entire time, VanFulpen high-fives his brother with excitement and joy!
The process was over and the journey was finally complete. Reaction poured in from social media and news outlets were stunned at how the seventh quarterback drafted was one coming off a torn ACL, did not receive an invitation to any of the prestigious all-star games or the NFL Scouting Combine…how did it happen they wondered in amazement? To sum it up simply, in two words, hard work!

Medical and Character part of NFL Prospect grade
Player's NFL Draft grade is much more then what a player does on the field or how fast he runs at the NFL Combine. Two of things most over looked when fans are watching the NFL draft and wondering why a certain player hasn't been picked is medical and character. We saw this play out in this past NFL Draft.

GM's and personal people with the NFL club look to their team doctors to make final say on if a prospect can be keep on the draft board or taken off based on the medical information.
On the flip side there were some character concerns involving drugs that cost a few NFL prospects including Randy Gregory, Nebraska who most thought was a top 10 NFL Draft prospect who had a failed drug test at the NFL combine and also reports that teams were concerned that he wasn't as mature as they would like. Gregory was drafted in the 2nd round 60th overall by the Dallas Cowboys. Some NFL clubs will take a player off their team draft board completely because of character concerns.

Q: Javascript / NodeJS : Passed in object seems to overwrite "self" - closure issue? My first ever Stackoverflow question (that I can remember). I'm slowly getting back into development after many years absence and experimenting with Node and Javascript.
I'm hoping this is really simple but I just can't see what I'm doing wrong.
I have 2 instances of a fairly simple javascript object.
When I pass one instance of that object to a function on the other things fall down.

*

*The first time I reference a "self" value it's fine.

*I then call a function on the passed-in object.

*If I try to reference "self" again afterward, it seems that "self" has been overwritten by the passed-in object.
Here's the object source:
"use strict";
//simple object
module.exports.SimpleObject = function SimpleObject(inputName) {
    try{
        var self = this; //closure so we don't lose this reference in callbacks
        self.name = inputName;

    }
    catch(err) {
        console.log('Unable to create SimpleObject: '+err);
    }

    SimpleObject.prototype.getName = function() {
        self = this;
        return self.name;
    }

    SimpleObject.prototype.nestedOverwrite = function(anObject) {
        self = this;
        return "#1 self.name: "+self.name+" ObjectName: "+anObject.getName()+" #2 self.name: "+self.name;
    }

    return this;
}

And here's the test case:
var  testSimpleObjectModule = require('./simpleObject');

var o0 = new testSimpleObjectModule.SimpleObject('test0');
var o1 = new testSimpleObjectModule.SimpleObject('test1');
console.log(o0.nestedOverwrite(o1));
console.log(o1.nestedOverwrite(o0));

Here's the output I get:
#1 self.name: test0 ObjectName: test1 #2 self.name: test1
#1 self.name: test1 ObjectName: test0 #2 self.name: test0

Hopefully you can see in each case, the first call to self.name is fine, the second has lost context.
any help greatly appreciated!

A: You're assigning functions to the prototype object that gets assigned to new SimpleObject every time the constructor is called. So the second time the constructor is called, the prototype is updated, and any previous object created using the prototype starts using the new function (with the new self value).
If you want those closures to have self, don't put them on the prototype, put them on this (more below).
But note that in the code you've quoted, there's no reason for the self variable. You can use prototype functions (which is more efficient) rather than creating functions for each instance. To do that, use this (without assigning it to self) and define the functions outside the constructor, like this:
"use strict";
//simple object
module.exports.SimpleObject = function SimpleObject(inputName) {
    this.name = inputName;
};

SimpleObject.prototype.getName = function() {
    return this.name;
};

SimpleObject.prototype.nestedOverwrite = function(anObject) {
    return "#1 this.name: "+this.name+" ObjectName: "+anObject.getName()+" #2 this.name: "+this.name;
};

But if you're doing something with self that you aren't showing that means you really need it (e.g., that you can't trust the value of this when the functions are called &mdasdh; they're being used as callbacks/event handlers, etc.), here's how you do that:
"use strict";
//simple object
module.exports.SimpleObject = function SimpleObject(inputName) {
    var self = this;

    self.name = inputName;

    self.getName = function() {
        return self.name;
    };

    self.nestedOverwrite = function(anObject) {
        return "#1 self.name: "+self.name+" ObjectName: "+anObject.getName()+" #2 self.name: "+self.name;
    };
};

Side notes:

*

*There's no reason to return this at the end of a constructor function.

*Note that we don't want to do self = this; in each of the functions; the whole point of using self is that when the function is called, you don't want to rely on this having the correct value. (If yoU can rely on this being set, then use the prototype version of the functions.)

*Never catch an exception in a constructor function and just say you couldn't do the construction, because by doing that, you allow the new Xyz expression to complete, and the un-initialized object is returned as the result of the expression. I've removed the try/catch from the above for that reason.

*I recommend not relying on the horror that is automatic semicolon insertion. End expressions with semicolons (including when you're assigning a function to a variable or property).

I'm -1 on this because changing the behaviour of __import__ for everything just for a couple of edge-cases with the auto-reloader doesn't seem worth it. But we can make an ultimate decision after 1.0.
The patch will be rewritten to new hooks from PEP 302 today, it won't include import overriding.
Please don't judge without knowing all facts.
Well, actually, you were absolutely correct in previous comment. Adding new hook that doesn't deal with import in any way, so it's safe to use.

Accepting the patch because the submitter addressed Malcolm's comment.
Unfortunately the GitHub link is broken, and the previous patch needs updating — at least, we no longer need Python 2.3 compatibility.
This problem was also reported in #9589. This ticket has patches but their approach was rejected by a core dev and a BDFL.
I don't think that's accurate - the initial patch there was rejected (for good reason), but there are two subsequent patches that take quite a different (and, at least at first glance, much better) approach; there's no evidence those patches were ever given review. I think the second two patches on #9589 deserve another look if someone does look into fixing this.
Indeed, Carl is right. Whoever tackles this should review both tickets.
This is really annoying. I briefly tested ebas's patch and it seems to work. Can somebody please apply it?

Testing of the patch on Unixy platforms (including Mac OS X) is welcome. I will try to test it on Windows.
I plan to commit this to master in a few days.
Closing as duplicate of #9589 - it looks like the fix was committed with a reference to that ticket but not this one so it wasn't closed automatically.

Philadelphia Modernizes its Plumbing Code Using the International Plumbing Code
KEYWORDS codes / plumbing / standards / water / water systems
WASHINGTON — The city of Philadelphia has modernized its plumbing code based on the 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC). The IPC is one of a family of correlated and coordinated codes published by the International Code Council — the International Codes (I-Codes) – that are the most widely used and adopted set of building codes in the world.
Mayor Jim Kenney signed the bill on Sept. 17, completing a process that began in 2017, when he signed an executive order for the reestablishment of the Plumbing Advisory Board to propose substantial updates to the Philadelphia Plumbing Code. The new code helps ensure transparency and consistency in the city's plumbing infrastructure and incorporates the latest technology to promote cost savings, energy efficiency, and water conservation. The updated city code also retains some of the current provisions of the Philadelphia Plumbing Code, such as those related to single stack waste and vent systems, to provide consistency when altering existing buildings.
"Building codes affect everyone who lives, plays, works, and goes to school in and around buildings," said Mayor Jim Kenney. "In other words, it affects every one of us. That's why the city of Philadelphia is taking the lead to make sure our building codes are fully up to date."
"According to a comprehensive independent study performed by Henderson Engineers and Hatch's Sustainable Economics group, counties that applied the IPC over the past 12 years have saved $38 billion in construction costs, emitted 1 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide, and realized 166,000 additional jobs," said Dominic Sims, CBO, CEO, Code Council. "Philadelphia has taken a major step toward promoting public health and safety and strengthening the city's economy by updating their plumbing code based on the IPC. The Code Council has been working closely with stakeholders in Philadelphia to provide assistance as needed for this important modernization."
The International Code Council Family of Solutions offers model codes, standards services and resources related to plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas and swimming pools/spas. The IPC is in use or adopted in 36 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. For more information, visit https://www.iccsafe.org.

All posts to the managed lists are stored and made available on the web; alternatively, some mailing list software offers special interfaces for plugging in an external archiving tool such as MHonArc (mhonarc.org). As the section called "Conspicuous Use of Archives" in Chapter 6, Communications discusses, archiving is crucial.
There is not space here for detailed instructions on setting up spam filters. You will have to consult your mailing list software's documentation for that (see the section called "Software" later in this chapter). List software often comes with some built-in spam prevention features, but you may want to add some third-party filters. I've had good experiences with these two: SpamAssassin (spamassassin.apache.org) and SpamProbe (spamprobe.sourceforge.net). This is not a comment on the many other open source spam filters out there, some of which are apparently also quite good. I just happen to have used those two myself and been satisfied with them.
Address hiding can be controversial. Some people like it a lot, and will be surprised if your archives don't do it automatically. Other people think it's too much of an inconvenience (because humans also have to translate the addresses back before using them). Sometimes people assert that it's ineffective, because a harvester could in theory compensate for any consistent encoding pattern. However, note that there is empirical evidence that address hiding is effective, see cdt.org/speech/spam/030319spamreport.shtml.
For the most part, they are self-explanatory. See nisto.com/listspec/list-manager-intro.html for more explanation, or if you need the really detailed, formal specification, see faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html.
Earlier, in the section called "Avoid Private Discussions", I stressed the importance of making sure discussions stay in public forums, and talked about how active measures are sometimes needed to prevent conversations from trailing off into private email threads; furthermore, this chapter is all about setting up project communications software to do as much of the work for you as possible. Therefore, if the mailing list management software offers a way to automatically cause discussions to stay on the list, you would think turning that feature on would be the obvious choice.
Once a message is archived at a particular URL, it should remain accessible at that exact same URL forever, or as close to forever as possible. Even if the archives are rebuilt, restored from backup, or otherwise fixed, any URLs that have already been made publicly available should remain the same. Stable references make it possible for Internet search engines to index the archives, which is a major boon to users looking for answers. Stable references are also important because mailing list posts and threads are often linked to from the bug tracker (see the section called "Bug Tracker" later in this chapter) or from other project documents.
It should be possible to go from any individual message to the thread (group of related messages) that the original message is part of. Each thread should have its own URL too, separate from the URLs of the individual messages in the thread.
The above is just a technical checklist to help you evaluate and set up an archiver. Getting people to actually use the archiver to the project's advantage is discussed in later chapters, in particular the section called "Conspicuous Use of Archives".

This article is based on an important differentiation, namely the distinction between necessary concerns about good social and ecological conditions of our lives and the mainstream media climate discourse. It refers to those theory models and narratives currently produced and publicly disseminated around the key topic "climate". In my opinion we are dealing with copycats here who want to exploit the hysteria for their own agendas.
"Arguing against climate populism does not mean to reject ecological responsibility or to discredit real commitment to environment issues. The aim is on the contrary to reconcile the responsibility for nature and the human condition in a meaningful relatedness by scrutinizing those thinking patterns which are currently so popular. The analysis is guided by the suspicion that climate hysteria is really beneficial for the deep state actors, that this discourse is pushed and steered and that this steering is aimed for anything but the good life of humanity on this earth, but rather serves as a cynical tool of power preservation."
Arguing against climate populism does not mean to reject ecological responsibility or to discredit real commitment to environment issues. The aim is on the contrary to reconcile the responsibility for nature and the human condition in a meaningful relatedness by scrutinising those thinking patterns which are currently so popular. The analysis is guided by the suspicion that climate hysteria is really beneficial for the deep state actors, that this discourse is pushed and steered and that this steering is aimed for anything but the good life of humanity on this earth, but rather serves as a cynical tool of power preservation. In other words: a closer look at the climate discussion should help both man and nature, especially if social and ecological arguments were no longer abused to counter each other. But for that goal to be achieved the dissension-mongers, mind traps and political masquerades currently played out in public by the climate discourse have-to be revealed as such.
The climate discourse as a means – to cloud the acuity of political judgement
Even without climate discourse there should be enough reason to worry about the state the natural resources of our life are in. Consequences of our ways of living and working on nature and environment are plain to see, if only aesthetically. We diminish our own quality of life by pollution and excessive building, which reduce the very recreational value the landscapes around us might have. From the medical viewpoint we notice hazardous contaminations of air and water, of foods derived from plants and livestock. Viewed from this angle protection for the environment always protects human lives, since poisonous substances, noise and radiation reduce our health. Noteworthy, there is little to no public debate about the 5G nets although there are many hints regarding their health hazards. ( see https://mobilfunkstuttgart.de/swr-2-impuls-5g-und-das-gesundheitsrisiko-peter-hensinger-contra-bundesamt-fuerstrahlenschutz/). But there is a responsibility for nature even where human beings are not directly affected. Christianity, for instance, is called to save god's creation not only for our sake but for the sake of god. People with a wordly orientation may know the feeling which urged Albert Schweitzer to coin his phrase "reverence for life", which prevents them from causing unnecessary pain to other creatures.
Having said that, one should never romanticise nature. As evolution biology and ecology demonstrate, nature is no paradise, but after all a merciless place as well, where strength in the struggle for limited resources decides about life or death. Always and everywhere, man alone puts the ethical dimension of responsibility on the agenda. Culture and politics fulfil the task to recognise and to protect the dignity of the weak and vulnerable. Therefore, only man is capable of the protection of nature. Animals don't know animal protection, volcanos don't know threshold values.
All motives of environment protection just mentioned – from the medical and aesthetical to the altruistically ecological one – have one thing in common: they refer to phenomena any sensible human being may perceive. Polluted air, increased noise and the disappearance of intrinsic species and biotopes may go unnoticed by the majority – but climate as the object of climate research is no object of perception at all, but a scientific construction. Man experiences the daily changes of the weather and the longer lasting changes of the environment, the climate on the other hand is strictly speaking a model, research object of climatologists, an artefact based on many pre-assumptions. This is already reflected by the Wikipedia definition of "climate":
"Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years. Some of the meteorological variables that are commonly measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and precipitation. In a broader sense, climate is the state of the components of the climate system, which includes the ocean and ice on Earth. The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, and altitude, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents. More generally, the 'climate' of a region is the general state of the climate system at that location at the current time. […] At its 1934 Wiesbaden meeting the technical commission designated the thirty-year period from 1901 to 1930 as the reference time frame for climatological standard normals. In 1982 the WMO agreed to update climate normals, and these were subsequently completed on the basis of climate data from 1 January 1961 to 31 December 1990."
Based on pre-assumptions and established knowledge climate research develops models, i. e. simplifying sketches of reality, of complex natural phenomena. Measurements and mathematical-statistical procedures play an important role in this process, but also decisions and axioms. Which factors will be considered, which ones neglected? Which time frames are analysed? Is there a hierarchy of factors? Doubts about its own methods belong to all scientific endeavours: how reproducible are measurements? How reliable are historical records? Where are the blind spots of the methods used? All these issues will normally result in a productive competition between research sub-specialities which investigate the same phenomenon from different angles, under different perspectives and with different methods, always aware that scientific truths of today may well turn out to be the errors of tomorrow. Therefore, the far-stretched fields of science are usually not easily comprehensible by lay people including political decision makers. Regarding climate research knowledge is more and more replaced by trust and even faith, if not pre-modern authority allegiance in the case of climate discourse experts. The principle behind this is that abstract models escape our perception. All we can observe and perceive in our lifetime is whether certain weather constellations or extreme meteorological perturbations do occur more or less often. But can lay people judge about the hypothesis that such extreme weather conditions are somehow caused by man? Let's be honest, who feels competent enough to do that? Just recently 90 prominent Italian scientists published a paper in which they don´t doubt climate change as such but its supposed man-made origins. (see http://www.opinione.it/cultura/2019/06/19/redazione_riscaldamento-globale-antropico-clima-inquinamento-uberto-crescentiantonino-zichichi/).
How should this be evaluated? Is this a group of honest scientists finally upholding the mandate of scientific doubt in the name of truth? Or is it a bunch of corrupt crooks on the payroll of global industrial corporations? Are they mistaken because they are in the minority? Or are they bound to be right because of their courage to stand up against "the Mainstream"? I must admit, I cannot tell and will therefore refrain from any conclusive judgment. What I do know from my own scientific endeavours is that most scientific problems are complex and allow only preliminary solutions so that would be hesitant to build radical political programmes with uncertain consequences on such foundations. Moreover, scientific institutions have to acquire sponsors and grants so that independent research can hardly be found any more due to a general lack of financial resources. (see Spelsberg/Burchardt: "Under the yoke of the grant fetish [Unter dem Joch des Drittmittelfetischs]". In: "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung""15 January 2015, p.15).
But even if it should be hard to establish to which degree mankind may or may not have contributed to a change of the climate – the arguments mentioned above show clearly why we are responsible to protect the resources of our life.
In any case the climate discourse, expertocratic and peer group biased as it is, clouds citizens' ability to perceive and judge accordingly by shifting the space of action into the invisible realm of abstract models. At the end a propagandistic fake world is projected into the minds of media consumers via dramatising visualisation. Fortunately, at a stage when the mantras of supposed evidence have reached a stage as exaggerated as it is today – when no event will escape climate-populistic exploitation – they will unmask themselves. The best example for this are the pertinent remarks of German Green party chair Annalena Baerbock, who interpreted Chancellor Merkel's tremor attacks during the German national anthem as a consequence of global warming (see https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/annalena-baerbock-zittern-von-angela-merkel-haengt-mit-klimawandel-zusammen-a-1274955.html). Baerbock and all the others who overstretch the climate argument to such extremes for political purposes ridicule not only the commitment of environmentalist and nature protection groups, but any scientific expertise.

The climate discourse as a shock strategy: "I want you to panic!" – Greta Thunberg
Another aspect shows clearly how climate research gets corrupted by the public climate discourse: the dire prognosis. It may have something to do with my age, but since I have already outlived so many apocalyptic scenarios from AIDS, mad cow disease, the ozone gap and the "Waldsterben" ( forest die back, a specifically German blend of apocalypse due to the demise of forest trees) I react no longer merely sceptical but more and more allergic to the current wave of alarmism. In the 1980ies Hoimar von Ditfurth recommended to what was referred to as the Nofuture-generation to plant an apple-tree – in modification of a supposed Luther quote – since the world was coming to an end.
Apart from the looming danger of a nuclear war especially "Waldsterben" was conjured as a symptom of eco-apocalypse, flanked by the ozone gap. I myself was utterly convinced at that time that my children would never live to see any trees in the year 2000. Accordingly, the time of my youth went by in a rather depressed mood since all authorities kept telling me that in view of the lack of alternatives to the imminent apocalypse my life in general and any political activities in particular, where doomed to meaninglessness from the start.
This year a documentary film producer friend of mine told me how journalists especially of the state-owned media used all techniques of visual manipulation in the supposedly well-meaning intention to picture "Waldsterben" as drastically as possible in order to "awaken" their viewers. Is such a self-moralisation of the opinion-producing media ever justified? Today we are again confronted with deeply troubling reports and computer simulations which – following the advice of late propaganda expert Walter Lippmann – install inner pictures in peoples' minds, a concocted pseudo-environment which is meant to become the starting point for all their actions in the social world. As Walter Ötsch shows, the power over these inner pictures is a crucial tool to govern people (see https://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=45252).
For this power it is totally irrelevant weather the prognoses have ever come true or not. Nobody holds the scaremongers responsible since nothing is older than yesterday's news, as they say, and nothing is more true than a noble intention. The German journal Der Spiegel for instance caused panic by predicting a new ice-age in 1974. (see https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-41667249.html), while another journal ("Die Welt") was sure in 2007 that the North pole would be entirely ice-free by 2013 (see https://www.welt.de/wissenschaft/article1456952/Nordpol-bereits-infuenf-Jahren-eisfrei.html).
Are the scaremongers themselves sowing climate change scepticism that way? In a pragmatic approach one could answer, the end justifies the means and who cares about truth if the end of the world is at stake. But if a world based on lies as its structural principle would even be worth surviving is a completely different matter. In any case it is doubtful weather emotionalisation and scaremongering are good for mankind or the environment. Sowing fear is similar to a pollution of the psychical environment which makes people sick. And what of that is exactly what the copycats of climate hysteria want to achieve. Put bluntly, prognoses in general are always a speculative business: starting with the weather prognosis which gets more inaccurate the further its predictions are stretched into the future. How reliable can climate prognoses ever be, given that they are all based on models with their inevitable blind spots?
By the way, this rhetorical question is no argument against climate research but only against its exploitation for political shock strategy in the medial-political climate discourse. Any climate researcher will confirm the limited statistical and prognostic power of their models: things could turn out differently. This is actually written in the terms-and-conditions-apply section of the IPCC report, a United Nations think-tank commonly referred to in the media by the awe-inspiring term world climate council":
"In climate research and modelling, we should recognise that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible." ("Climate Change 2001", p. 774. Source: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/03/WGI_TAR_full_report.pdf)
In its dramatisation of apocalyptic prognoses the climate discourse is rivalled only by 11 September 2001, the great shock exploited to justify the restriction of citizens' rights and waging wars. The threat scenarios burnt into our minds stress our reptilian brain and render us docile and will-less. Therefore, we should automatically mistrust any scaremongering discourse which puts us under pressure for time and immediate action. This is nothing but a widely and successfully used manipulation technique taught to corporate personnel and public servants under the name of "change management". This way not only external factors but internal attitudes and personality traits of employees are meant to be altered. However, these alteration processes do not address the reasonable insight of those subjected to these techniques, since this could trigger possible counterarguments or justified resistance. It is rather their personal sovereignty which is meant to be undermined by the psycho-techniques. Shock, excessive demands, paradoxical imperatives, infusing guilt, smashing social peer-groups, irritations by changes in the accustomed environment, new language rules and so on create insecurity and render people docile. These are social-technologically sophisticated control mechanisms which are, of course, widely used for political manipulation of the public. (see http://peira.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/swr2-wissen)
The climate discourse as populism
In a quite plausible scenario it could be that in the near future particularly the German political party AfD and the Greens could attract electoral votes because in contrast to the former major parties they clearly raise a theme and aggressively champion it. The representatives of the party mentioned first see the world from a nationalistic-authoritarian, the others from a globalistic-eco-repressive perspective. None of both positions however meets the standards of a sovereign-democratic conception of politics, that is of a conception of the state which is comitted to the citizens alone (democratically) and neither to NGOs nor any transnational or transatlantic structures to be able to act sovereignly even in foreign politics. Despite all substantial and conceptional differences certain similarities in the mobilising communication patterns are found in both political camps. There, the threat of cultural and ethnic identity loss is adressed, here, the eco-apocalypsis is conjured up.
Both discourses orbit a certain core of truth which, however, is blown up by emotionalising and dramatisation, fuels fears and in the end splits up society by radicalisation. While these focus on the own and the foreign the others as politically correct speakers and climate savers turn vehemently against the chain smokers, diesel drivers, sexists, meat eaters and polluters, against loosers of globalisation and socially outdistanced. And so both sides look alike in their black and white thinking, in their friend or foe patterns and in their not very complex, monothematic model of explaining the world which has a high power of mobilisation. But in the end presumably they represent only pseudo-alternatives inside the neoliberal regime.
In any case the climate discourse earns the Greens to be on a roll in the polls and makes thereby forget that it was this party which led – in the person of Joschka Fischer – the German Federal Republic in military conflicts the first time since 1945 and made possible the liquidation of the welfare state by the neoliberal Hartz reforms. A party, which has pursued an ideological educational policy at state level at the disadvantage of social welfare and of the maturity of the next generation. In the purgatory of the climate discourse the reminiscence of these sins is burning down and at the same time weapons produced which are needed to seize power and as climate governess reeducate the population.
The climate discourse as instrument of separation
The government around Emmanuel Macron used the climate discourse to push through the neoliberal agenda in France. Accordingly the yellow vests were diffamed as unwanted people: "They don't represent the France of the 21st century that we want." (cf. https://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/1124783.g-gipfel-francafrique-a-la-macron.html). The people who took to the streets were "chain smokers" and "diesel drivers". Who wants to get an own idea about these people should do this here: (cf. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBiHJxGxz1g). In the video the moral arrogance of the urban-globalistic elites and the degradation of the population is marvellously ironised.
But not only elites and non-privileged shall be played of against one another, in the same way it is about urban versus rural, young versus old, present mankind against mankind of the future. Especially the spin of an accusation against the elder generation which supposedly has caused or at least not prevented the climate catastrophe, remembers with its medial mis-en-scéne of a Childrens' Crusade with a quasi-religious gestus. This begs the question: Is not the political idealism of a whole generation exploited here? With the perspective of a foreseeable frustration which will deprive the involved of their motivation for a political engagement once and for all. Greta Thunberg was stylised as a prophet by the media at least after her well-prepared performance in Davos.
The accusation of the elder generation is unfair and separating. The parents of the Fridays demonstrators were ecologically engaged themselves in their youth and were sufficiently stressed by the neoliberal putsch in East and West of the republic after 1989 to look after their own survival and enable their children a somewhat endurable childhood This while the power elites in the background pressed ahead with globalisation and faned fear of social decline, instigated terror and wars, razed democracy, health system, educational system, welfare state, state of law and civil rights. Victims are turned into offenders to allow those really guilty of social, political and ecological misery stay in the dark. Political energy which could turn against the really responsible actors is thereby neutralised from the beginning by the already tried and tested "divide et impera" (divide and conquer).
The climate discourse as anti-humanism
The primordial soup of the green movement has many components: In addition to the peace movement, the anti-nuclear movement, feminism, environmental groups and citizens' initiatives, there are also less appetizing ingredients such as activists for the legalisation of paedophilia or supporters of deep ecology and the Gaia theory. In these latter currents, man appears as the actual ecological problem, as a troublemaker whose existence per se damages the earth; pointedly summarised in the well-known joke:
Two planets meet. Says one: "You don't look well. Are you sick?" The other replies: "Yes, I've got man." "Oh, poor you! But don't worry, it'll pass!"
According to the radical representatives of this conviction, the solution to the ecological crisis lies in the elimination of man, if not totally, then at least quantitatively or qualitatively. Accordingly, population management such as sterilisation, birth control, speculation with food is directed against certain groups of people, Africans, Chinese, the poor, the disabled, and chain smokers. An example of this is the discussion between Christoph Butterwegge and Richard David Precht about an unconditional basic income at PhilCologne (international festival for philosophy in Cologne):
Precht: No basic income for babies, Mr Butterwegge, but for all as of 21. [...]
Butterwegge: And what about child benefit? The child benefit will be abolished?
Precht: Yes, of course.
Butterwegge: Okay, if the child benefit is abolished, then anyone who has five children should feed them from 1,500 euros, and someone who has no children can spend the basic income elsewhere?
Precht: Exactly. I do not want someone who has a basic income of EUR 1,500 and no prospect of a career to get the idea of having five children.
Butterwegge: So that is no longer just neo-liberal, but already socially reactionary.
(Source: Philosophie Magazin, August/September 2018, p. 61)
In the view of poverty researcher Butterwegge, a socio-political concept such as the unconditional basic income proves to be a bio-political control instrument with a social Darwinism undertone: Reproduction please only for the successful!
Malthusianism, the idea that population growth must at some point inevitably lead to the impoverishment of the masses, especially because the uneducated or uncivilised would reproduce uninhibitedly, forms the background of this way of thinking. This suggests that the best way of fighting poverty would be to control the births of the underprivileged.
In the climate discourse we find the image of the ecological footprint, which certainly has an educational meaning for illustrating the consumption of resources by people or nations. At the same time, however, the idea of the footprint creates the image of a competitive situation: foot without space. This can lead to self-doubt or extinction fantasies: May I to set foot on earth at all? Shouldn't a few million people somewhere else disappear so that I had more space? Wouldn't a war be necessary again, like a kind of cleansing, like a peeling for the earth's surface?
The unborn, never existing beings have the smallest footprint, which is why anti-natalism, i.e. the rejection of conception of human offspring par excellence, is a model student of the climate discourse (cf. https://www.zeit.de/kultur/2018-04/antinatalismus-theophile-de-giraud-bevoelkerungswachstum-feminismus). Childlessness not only gives many freedoms to fruitless non-parents, but also saves the earth the footprint of the next generation.
This, at first glance, very plausible argumentation suffers from its social blindness, which can be healed quickly by looking at who is propagating this theory with passion (see https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/09/africas-rapid-population-growth-puts-poverty-progress-at-risk-says-gates).
In 2018, Bill Gates warned against population growth in Africa – at the World Economic Forum in Davos, a place where none of us, no matter how great our need for mission, might ever speak, but Greta Thunberg did. Somewhat curious.
The fact that one of the richest people in the world is committed to reducing the world's population with his foundation could be seen as a sign of exuberant philanthropy (love of humanity) or as the anti-humanist cynicism of a father of three. Converting the billions of the ten richest people on the Forbes list into footprints, might – with a little modesty on the part of these families –- make room for a few Indian girls, Chinese twins or African Tönnies babies** alongside the Gates offspring.
To avoid misunderstandings: Of course people should be concerned with their own reproduction or overall social demography, if only for the sake of the children for whose well-being they have to stand up in private as well as in public. However, in the context of climate discourse, certain social imbalances arise when the great profiteers of neoliberalism choose the weakest in the world to hold them responsible for the planet. Anti-natalism, social Darwinism and eugenic selection are massive excesses of an anti-humanism that not only legitimises inhumane conditions, but also brings up the idea of a global self-extermination of mankind. This, incidentally, creates the paradox that, while the climate discourse on the one hand acts as the advocate of unborn future generations, it fights at the same time their existence through anti-natalism.
"In the climate discourse we find the image of the ecological footprint, which certainly has an educational meaning for illustrating the consumption of resources by people or nations. At the same time, however, the idea of the footprint creates the image of a competitive situation: foot without space. This can lead to self-doubt or extinction fantasies: May I to set foot on earth at all? Shouldn't a few million people somewhere else disappear so that I had more space?

The unborn, never existing beings have the smallest footprint, which is why anti-natalism, i.e. the rejection of conception of human offspring par excellence, is a model student of the climate discourse."
The climate discourse as a neoliberal re-education programme
Neoliberalism is much more than a model for the design of the economic area. It is totalitarian in its demands and permeates all areas of human life. However, since people would prefer a different way of life of their own choosing and also on the basis of their historical experiences, it requires the propagandistic reprogramming of the people. The "new man" has to come, the "old man" with his habits and attachments is identified as the root of all evil and has to be transformed, in the spirit of Macron's rule, so that only those people live who embody the France of the 21st century. This, however, turns the principle of democratic representation on its head. Obviously, the political elite is no longer there to live up to the will of the citizens, but arrogates to construct people to fit in with their policies.
Also, one hears again and again from the loudspeakers of the climate discourse, that it is about "Changing the lifestyle" (see https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/smile-for-future-101.html). There seems to be a lot to be said for that, after all, we are still far too wasteful and for example, we appreciate the gifts of nature, the efforts of agriculturists and farmers far too little. Of course, this has to be discussed. Now here, too, the memory of the recent past of political rhetoric helps. Quite innocently, the formula was repeated there: one had to tighten one's belt, that is to say, for the benefit of all, the renunciation of the individual was demanded. After tightening our belts for decades, where is the promised reward? Or am I responsible for the financial and banking crisis because I lived "beyond my means"? No, that's not me! However, I only just met Bill Gates at the leather goods store yesterday. There he had five new holes punched in the belt, because he has to loosen it once again.
Thus, the economic and ecological crises function wonderfully as a weapon in the elite's war against the populations. Or as Warren Buffet puts it: "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." ("New York Times", from 26 November 2006). A political problem – for instance of the environmental and industrial policy – is shifted by the climate discourse from the democratic public sphere into the sphere of the private lifestyle. The actual perpetrators and profiteers of the social and ecological problems, however, stay invisible and the problems remain unresolved, while the individuals, responding on the bases of idealism or bad conscience, struggle to save the planet. The climate discourse dumps the distortions of the unleashed neoliberalism into the biographies of the non-privileged people, who were already cornered in the maelstrom of globalisation, modernisation and migration, into a zone of uncertainty (cf. Hannes Hofbauer "Critique of Migration", Vienna 2018). The envisaged CO2 tax, which the Scientific Service of the Bundestag considers by the way as unconstitutional, (see https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article198175347/Wissenschaftlicher-Dienst-CO2-Steuer-waere-verfassungswidrig.html) would excessively burden people without or with low incomes. It is not difficult for members of the royal family to make an ecological contribution as compensation for frequent air travel by private jet. People in rural areas, where, in the wake of neoliberalism and globalisation infrastructure, public transport, work, provision for old age and cultural integration have become meagre, have to commute with their private cars to work. The closure of hospitals threatened by Bertelsmann increases the CO2-intensive mobility pressure on people in certain regions (cf. https://www.die-linke.de/partei/parteistruktur/zusammenschluesse/bag-gesundheit-und-soziales/erklaerungen-und-stellungnahmen/detail/news/bertelsmann-plant-krankenhaus-landschaft/). Thus, as long as there is no alternative, the life of the people will not become more climate-compatible, but simply more expensive, if they want to participate furthermore in social life.
The climate discourse plays on a neoliberal strategy, called "responsivity" in sociology: it means people are termed responsible, for things that are generated elsewhere systemically and structurally, without them being actually given at hand the political power for actual changes or even the resources for the mastery of these tasks. The shortage of nurses is a good example: You economise the health care system, but hold the exploited nursing staff responsible for this. Out of the shortage, they have to draw a minimum of humanity for those in need of care. Since they went into their profession empathically and idealistically, self-exploitation of the caregivers is often a consequence of the artificially created scarcity. The pull of strength by this responsivity squeezes the last resources out of the employees: Human fracking.
The appeal to the "consumers" to avoid buying ecologically or socially harmful products works in a similar way. As if a Hartz IV receiver were responsible for the poor working conditions of the seamstresses in the low-wage countries, because he or she does not buy eco-textiles from the Westerwald. Making a living entirely with products from organic shops is not possible for all people. Downgrading political questions to questions of consumption insults the political freedom of the citizen, who is more than and quite different from a mere homo oeconomicus.
It is cynical when the climate discourse is shifted from the ecological distortions in society as a whole into the guilty conscience, the wallet and the renouncement of the individual, as long as the real causes have been neither clarified nor disclosed nor addressed politically.
The article has set out for searching toxic elements in the climate discourse but does, under no circumstances, justify ecological indifference, but rather a political decontamination of this discourse, a detoxification. The following ingredients are termed precarious: The expropriation of the political judgement, the shock strategy, populism, separation, anti-humanism and the re-education programmatic. In the interplay of these elements a hard-hitting instrument of power is created that could pave the way into a climate dictatorship which is just as smart as it is totalitarian. That it is possible and necessary to treat man and nature with more care, might have emerged as a core of truth regardless of the poisoned discourse …
In this respect, the motto is: Create and preserve the foundations of life for everyone! Though please, without apocalyptic shock strategies, without expertocracy or female prophets, without separation and populism, without a eugenic or social Darwinism agenda, without Orwell ecologism and re-education programmes. The supposedly worthy end does not justify the means. Called for are open discussions, scientific controversies and, furthermore, respect for the experience of knowledgeable people without expert status. •

Daniela Sheinin: How do past voices resonate in the present moment? And how do we make sense of those voices? What were they trying to say and whose job is it to find out? This is Reverb Effect.
Daniela Sheinin: One of the challenges for historians, is figuring out how to start a story. Usually it starts when you find something interesting, something particularly curious. It could be something that excites you or something that confuses you. It could be something you find familiar, something that reminds you of an old friend or family member. Or, it could be something completely foreign, something you know absolutely nothing about but for some reason want to know more. It often happens while leafing through documents in a library or archive. It could happen when looking through your grandfather's old photographs. It could be something as simple as looking at a newspaper and thinking, this doesn't seem quite right. There is always a starting point from which you might work backwards or forwards, tracking what happened, or did not happen in the past. Sometimes it's an entire box of government reports, an entire scrapbook of old photographs and newspapers. Sometimes, it's a single sketch with no name.
Welcome to episode 4 of Reverb Effect, a podcast brought to you by the University of Michigan Department of History. I'm your host, Daniela Sheinin. In this episode, you'll hear of a surprising and unanticipated discovery. Matt Villeneuve is a PhD candidate in the Department of History. His dissertation, "The Indigenous in Intelligence: John Dewey, American Indian Education and The Progressive Campaign for Democracy Through Schooling, 1880 to 1930," combines two topics close to Matt's heart, Native American history and the philosophy of education. Matt's tale from the archive is a moment of archive magic, the pull of curiosity that launches a historical inquiry and the rare reward of discovery that comes from making surprising connections across time. Sometimes, if you're lucky, the people you find in the archive can talk back.
Matt Villeneuve: Let me tell you about the moment it happened to me. That's special moment that historians feel that I like to call archive magic. Archive magic is the moment when after growing numb from hours of scouring old papers, flipping through ancient manuscripts or winding microfilm until you're nauseous, you finally stumble across a piece of information that practically leaps off the page. Sometimes it's exactly the kind of information that will serve as strong evidence for your argument, a singular gem just waiting to be polished. But more often than not, archive magic is less like finding a buried treasure and is more akin to discovering a trail head, a dangling thread that begs to be pulled. In other words, archive magic is the discovery of a clue.
For me, the archive magic that begins this story happened about a month or two ago. I was searching the digitized personal correspondence of the American philosopher, John Dewey. Dewey, not to be confused with Melvil Dewey of Dewey decimal fame, was arguably America's leading public intellectual during the early twentieth century. Dewey lived from 1859 to 1952 so he saw a lot of American history and much of it is captured in his personal correspondence. Rifling through this enormous haystack of four volumes of letters for a small needle, I was searching his papers for any and all references to one topic in particular. Any connection no matter how tenuous between Dewey and American Indian people. Let me give you a little backstory. My father is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Nation in North Dakota and this heritage informs a large part of my scholarship and I'm interested broadly in the history of how schools have been used as a mechanism for the federal government to target American Indian children.
Particularly around the turn of the twentieth century, a national system of schools was created by the government for Indian children that was intended to affect the cultural erasure of indigenous lifeways. That process, disturbing as it is, has always fascinated me. How does one go about turning a school room into an extension of state policy and in this case, as a kind of weapon of cultural destruction? As a result, one of the people that I've become really interested in, is John Dewey, whose philosophy imagines using schools as vehicles to bring people together through a communal process of learning and growing to build social solidarities across diverse communities. This function of schools, Dewey thought, was what made them the quintessential motor of democracy in American life. Making one people out of many. But this was at the exact same time that the federal government operated a sprawling system of off reservation boarding schools for indigenous people intended to do the exact opposite. How could these two school systems, one pluralistic, the other destructive exist side by side? And what could explain Dewey's oversight of indigenous schooling in his philosophy of education and democracy?
Armed with this question, I headed into my first archive to try and find some answers. This is how I came to find a 1969 letter from a man named Edward Gottlieb that he had sent to Dewey's widow, Roberta Dewey. Whomever had digitized the letter, had left a note saying, "in closing cover page of center forum, July, 1969 illustrated by *Eleanor McGid*, drawing of American Indian wearing placard bearing message: John Dewey, where are you now that we need to be relevant." An illustration that imagined an American Indian person chastising Dewey? It was perfect, but there was a problem. These were digitized letters, so there were no other materials in the volume. Materials that might have otherwise been tucked inside the same folder if I were sitting in an archival reading room. So how can I find this illustration? I knew that if I could find the article that it was accompanying, I could find it.
So I searched in the Michigan library catalog for the article, but my search produced no hits. I'd hit a roadblock. Fortunately, historians have specially equipped demolition experts to help us clear such obstacles and they're called academic librarians. I got in touch with a friend of mine named James, who works as an academic librarian at Eastern Washington University back home. I explained the situation, gave him all the info I had, and set him loose. Finally, James reported back that this had been a particularly thorny challenge and that he had actually been unable to find the article. I was feeling pretty defeated. If an expert librarian couldn't find it, it felt good as lost. But James told me in an almost mischievous way that he had a lead and he'd let me know if it panned out. He was almost energized by the obscurity of the source and sure enough, the next day a document was sitting in my inbox and low and behold there was the illustration by Eleanor Magid.
It was everything I had hoped for and more. Magid's drawing depicts two protestors seemingly walking at a demonstration. One is a mustachioed man with a broad hat clad in a poncho and a girl in buckskin moccasins and braids sporting a feather in a headband. The two coded as indigenous people from the Southwest and plains respectively, are wearing sandwich boards as if engaged in the act of picketing. Their signs speak volumes. The girl in buckskin bears a sign imploring "Americanize America" while her comrades sports a sign that is as bold as it is specific, "John Dewey, where are you now that we need to be relevant?" This was an awesome find. It was almost as if someone had anticipated my research question and had made this drawing just for me like a commission. I began looking for reference to Dewey and American Indians and now I had a new question. One I could never have anticipated. Who was this artist, Eleanor Magid?
With this new research path, I set out to cast the largest net I could, so I did a Google search or two and after some digging I found reference to a New York printmaker by the same name but little else. Serendipitously, I came across a Huffington Post article celebrating a holiday I did not know existed: Grandparent's Day, which for those of you keeping score at home is September 8th. The author had solicited submissions from people celebrating their grandparents and a woman named Amity submitted the following. My grandma, Eleanor Magid is an artist, photographer and graphic designer. My grandma is also something of a tech wiz and good thing too; she knows how to maneuver social media as well as anyone my age. Could I possibly find Eleanor on social media? Well, I logged into Facebook and found myself laughing. What kind of wave of archival magic could I ride this long? With a little finagling, I managed to find a profile that I thought might belong to Eleanor.
Her profile looked rather inactive compared to a person my age and I figured this was not a place she regularly visited. Would any message I send her simply languish in obscurity? There was only one way to find out. So imagine my surprise. Eleanor had received my message and I sent her a copy of the illustration in question. Well she was delighted to see it, and I asked if she might be willing to talk with me about it on the phone. One last leg to cover on a journey that began with a digitized letter from 1969 which had led to an arcane academic repository then to a Huffington Post article from two years ago and now to Facebook. She cordially agreed and so I called her.
Eleanor Magid: Good morning, Matt.
Matt Villeneuve: Hi Eleanor, this is Matt. It's so great to finally talk to you.
Eleanor Magid: Exactly. It's been quite, we've been emailing for quite a while now.
Matt Villeneuve: We have, we have a pretty good correspondence going. I'm very proud of us.
Meet my new friend, Eleanor, born in 193--she's 85 years young and we talked for two hours on the phone and I got to ask her all kinds of questions. I started at the beginning with her biography.
Eleanor Magid: Uh, well I was born in Tiffin, Ohio. Uh, my father was a ceramic engineer and they moved to Tiffin because it was a ceramics town. But I do remember how I started drawing. My father had a drafting table and he sat me down very young, four or five, um, to learn how to use the T square and the triangle. So I was started drawing, making straight lines, vertical and horizontal, and then using a triangle and making diagonal lines. And then we lived in an Oak wood and I started going outdoors with my drawing paper and began to look at curves, the plants near the ground and the trees and the little animals and so on. And so it was a very early start.
Matt Villeneuve: I asked Eleanor why she thought she began making art as a child and she reflected on this for a moment and settled on two answers. The first was pretty practical for a kid.
Eleanor Magid: Before I started school, I didn't have playmates and I began to draw. I think for that reason it was my connection of a different kind of connection to the world.
Matt Villeneuve: But that connection grew over time. Eleanor was drawn literally to a methodology of being in the world that was implicit in sketching. And she explained to me with the insight of an art teacher of over 30 years, how one's medium shapes the way one views the world.
Eleanor Magid: Sure. You know, each medium has its own particular quality. To open up the mind, like photography, you have to see very fast in a flash. It was doing, it slows you down and practically nothing else makes you stop and look so long. Uh, so it's long, slow, careful looking. And this is a drawing and the sciences grew up together and their long, careful, slow looking at plants and their anatomy and structure.
Matt Villeneuve: It became clear listening to Eleanor that art was a calling. After attending a Quaker school, Eleanor went to Smith College, but there she was under-stimulated, eager to press on to a more contemporary art scene. She ventured to New York City in the early 1950s but there too, she realized that her observational sketching method was out of sync with the prevailing artistic currents.
Eleanor Magid: It was the era of abstract expressionism and action painting, which interested me, but it was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to look at the world and record it. I always felt that there was a tension between what artists did and what people did who were trying to make the world better. I liked the idea of artists serving a wide audience than the art market serves. The art market is a fairly narrow territory.
Matt Villeneuve: More interested in praxis than profit, Eleanor became involved in printmaking, eventually moved to the lower East side and opened a print shop. There she started a family and became a member of the neighborhood, eventually coming to teach art at Queens College. But in 1968 there was a teacher strike that shut down the school system and as a parent and educator, Eleanor became involved in the movement. It was this circumstance that she produced the illustration that had brought me to her.
Eleanor Magid: At all these community meetings that we were going to, I was drawing. I was, that's what I do. You know, I was drawing figures, started out with community drawings from around here, mothers and children sitting around a meeting and trying to figure out what we could do about the strike. We had a lot of marches and things around here, so it may have been a drawing from marches, but I cannot remember, um, whether that drawing was from direct observation or from finding a photograph. That costume that she's wearing or her clothing, uh, may have been something demonstration, we had lots of demonstrations.
Matt Villeneuve: This is what I had come to hear. Provenance. The circumstances surrounding the creation of the primary source, Eleanor's recollection from 1968 was a good lead considering her observational method and the nature of the teacher strike it was entirely feasible than indigenous people were involved in the protest. Yet the final task of interpreting the illustrations editorializing for John Dewey came down to my judgment as a historian. Still, I asked Eleanor for a little help.
Eleanor Magid: Yes, well that was the idea, but is that, is that the educational system has taken into account actually Western European systems and nothing else and we're so much bigger and broader than that.
Matt Villeneuve: Eleanor felt that indigenous people calling for Dewey's pluralism in education was a way to emphasize the epistemological monopoly that had its grip on schooling to the detriment of democracy.
Eleanor Magid: I mean, all children face it one way or another. Every single child faces these kinds of provincialism or my ways the only way so good. You're lesser than I am with all of that.
Matt Villeneuve: So there you have it. My tale from the archive, that began in a digitized letter and ended with a phone call. I told Eleanor how much of a rare treat it was to go into an archive where all the material appears still, lifeless, and inert and then to find some archive magic that led to an actual living, breathing person. She seemed just as pleased.
Eleanor Magid: Well, I'm so happy that you and I have met because it seems to me that our, our visions are very close. Really.
Matt Villeneuve: In the end, I got lucky. Sometimes these people from the past are still around today and keep their stories alive.

STD rates increase in county, state
Get tested and treated, health officials urge
by Patricia Guthrie
Friday, May 25, 2018 1:11pm
Rates of sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise in Island County and across the state, according to new data released by Washington State Department of Health.
Statewide, 2017 data shows "record rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis." Health officials urge sexually active people to get tested and treated for the diseases. Left untreated, some STDs can lead to long-term serious health risks, especially for pregnant women.
Comparing sexually transmitted infection cases and rates from year to year, 246 cases of chlamydia were reported in Island County for 2017, up from 204 cases in 2016, the annual report shows.
Gonorrhea rose by three reported cases. In 2017, 38 cases were reported in Island County, up from 35 cases the previous year.
Herpes reported cases dipped by five, down to nine cases last year, compared to 14 reported cases in 2016.
Two cases of syphilis were reported last year in Island County whereas no cases were diagnosed in 2016.
Dr. Brad Thomas, Island County health officer, said the increase in cases isn't statistically significant because of the way data is collected.
"A lot of the reports come in by 'batch,' after being collected for a month or more," he said, "and so it could literally be nothing more than when the reports were sent."
Data show sexually transmitted disease rates are higher among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Health officials recommend these individuals to talk to their medical providers about testing for syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and HIV at least once a year.
"We are experiencing increases similar to what states across the country are seeing," Zandt Bryan, state infectious disease field services coordinator, said in an interview.
Most people with STDs don't have obvious symptoms, but without treatment they can spread disease and possibly develop serious complications.
"Rising rates of infection should always be concerning," Bryan said. "In addressing them, we have to learn what contributes to that rise. In the case of chlamydia, it is hard to tell if more people are being diagnosed, or if medical providers are testing more people for the infection."
Additional contributing factors for the increase could also include lack of knowledge around sexual health and lack of access to care, he added.
Many sexually transmitted diseases are curable, others are treatable. All are preventable, Bryan said.
Consistent and correct condom use is still the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, health experts say. Getting tested and treated is also vital to stop its spread.
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD; the rates are highest in 20- to 24-year-old women.
Health officials are particularly concerned over the increase of babies born with syphilis, passed along from their infected mothers. From 2016 to 2017, there were as many cases of congenital syphilis as in the previous 10 years combined, the state report found.
It's also on the rise nationally.
Up to 40 percent of babies born to women with untreated syphilis may be stillborn or die from the infection as a newborn, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Unlike metropolitan counties, there are no public clinics in Island County that provide STD testing.
Private physicians and local hospitals do offer testing, Thomas said.

Consultation on proposed school closures to go ahead
Campaigners calling for Broad Oak Community School near Heathfield to be saved outside County Hall
Joshua Powling
A consultation on the proposed closure of two East Sussex schools has been given the go-ahead this week.
Parents at both Broad Oak Community Primary School near Heathfield and Fletching CE Primary School have signalled their opposition to the move with campaigns set to fight any closures.
Jenny Barnard-Langston, chair of the Governors of Fletching Church of England Primary School, meets Wealden MP Nus Ghani
But on Monday East Sussex County Council's lead member for education approved the process of consulting on the closures.
This would start on Friday July 5 and run until mid-October before a final decision is made on the future of both schools.
The council says the says the closures would reduce the number of surplus places in each area and have a positive impact on other schools.

After the meeting Jenny Barnard-Langston, chair of governors at Fletching Primary School, said children 'thrive' at the school, which 'punches above its weight' and has a 'highly-skilled staff team'.
She added: "We will fight throughout the consultation period to put the true facts that were missing from the report particularly the comparative, quantitative data."
She has met with Wealden MP Nus Ghani to discuss the proposed closure. The MP said afterwards: "This is not just about the school, but about a fundamental part of village life here in Wealden."
"It is important too that we seek to address the underlying problem facing a large number of rural schools in the constituency, which is a lack of pupils.
"We need a robust programme of house-building to ensure that young families can continue to move to Wealden and take advantage of the fantastic education available to them through schools like Fletching."
Meanwhile campaigners fighting to save Broad Oak's school said they were 'disappointed and frustrated' with the decision to move ahead with the consultation.
They raised large-scale house building planned in the area, which would mean extra pupil numbers.

A statement added: "We believe we have a strong and robust case for the school to stay open and we will be working really hard, in partnership with our MP, Huw Merriman, our community, and other organisations to make sure our feelings are heard and responded to by the East Sussex County Council. We urge local people to make their feelings known and heard.
"East Sussex need to pause and review what they are trying to achieve – closing our school will achieve nothing apart from destroying a high performing school, its heritage and placing other schools under strain. The only people to lose out will be the very youngest members of our community – who deserve so much better."
