Martin Lowi – New Business Roundtable statement of corporate principles is a step in the right direction
scritto in Contributi di pensiero	il 22 settembre 2019
As of August 19, 2019, the Business Roundtable ("BRT") made what some people see as a very important change in its fundamental statement about corporate governance and what some others see as a palliative to prevent legislation that would be far more burdensome. I think both things happened. The new statement is here.
I am a little bit steeped in this subject at the moment because it is an important part of the chapter on corporate governance of my new book Capitalism for Democrats that will come out in October. The book is a defense of what I call commonsense capitalism that embraces the need for regulation and a safety net, as well as competitive markets and informed consumers. Corporate governance is a key subject because one of the powerful charges against capitalism is that it emphasizes shareholder rights at the expense of the welfare of workers and communities.
The Business Roundtable, historically, has maintained the primacy of free markets and corporate focus on shareholder value. Indeed, it has done so in a fairly pure form, relating these concepts to the famous Milton Friedman speech of 1976, where he explained why they were the two bedrock tenets of corporate governance.
The new "stakeholder" statement is, at least on its face, a sea change. The "free markets" part of the statement remains, but the shareholder-only focus is gone-explicitly gone-replaced by a five-pronged listing of stakeholders.
The stakeholder listing seems peculiar to me in that it is far less clear than it might be.
The overarching idea is that the purpose of a corporation is to promote 'An economy that serves all americans'. The new mantra is long-term value for shareholders while serving other stakeholders as well. The core of the statement is:
We commit to:
Delivering value to our customers. We will further the tradition of American companies leading the way in meeting or exceeding customer expectations.
Investing in our employees. This starts with compensating them fairly and providing important benefits. It also includes supporting them through training and education that help develop new skills for a rapidly changing world. We foster diversity and inclusion, dignity and respect.
Dealing fairly and ethically with our suppliers. We are dedicated to serving as good partners to the other companies, large and small, that help us meet our missions.
Supporting the communities in which we work. We respect the people in our communities and protect the environment by embracing sustainable practices across our businesses.
Generating long-term value for shareholders, who provide the capital that allows companies to invest, grow and innovate. We are committed to transparency and effective engagement with shareholders.
Each of our stakeholders is essential. We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.
Obviously, this was drafted by a committee. It promises so much can mean so many different things to different people. But still, it is very different in tone from what one might call the corporate triumphalism that pre-dated the Great Recession. It is a statement that corporations have obligations to others besides shareholders. And it reflects, in many respects, the ethos of the Caux Principles and the concept of Moral Capitalism that has been knocking on the corporate door for a couple of decades. For details on the principles and the concept, see the Caux Roundtable for Moral Capitalism website and the book Moral Capitalism by Stephen Young.
Former Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers, as reported by the Financial Times, responded: "I'm wary. I worry the Roundtable's rhetorical embrace of stakeholders is in part a strategy for holding off necessary tax and regulatory reform." Without an enforcement tool, Summers also said, the statement lacks teeth.
I agree with Summers' reservations, despite the very real changes. And the evolution of thinking on subjects like these takes time.
But I also am sympathetic to the needs of the major corporations to avoid legislation like Senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's Accountable Capitalism Act (that you can see on her website).
Under Senator Warren's act, corporate boards would be required to have representatives of various "stakeholders" and the board as a whole would have responsibilities to those various stakeholders, including, most prominently, workers. Based in part on the German co-determination principle under which workers are represented on corporate boards, The Accountable Capitalism Act is a serious proposal that I think is seriously misguided. But that act is not on trial today. The point of raising it is to say that Larry Summers is right to see the BRT change of heart as being engendered in part by a desire to head off more Draconian proposals. (For a summary of the German corporate governance system, see this online source.)
The real need in the fairly near future is to find the teeth that Larry Summers says are lacking without hamstringing boards of directors that have to manage large, complex enterprises. My take, after many years of working with boards, is that, in fact, most boards have understood that in order to create long-term value for shareholders, they had to pay close attention to most of the other "stakeholders". Successful corporate boards do, I believe, take account of employee, customer, and other interests in order for their corporation to succeed, but legal requirements to consider them all are very different from considerations based on benefit to the business.
An intermediate kind of "teeth" would be to require a reporting mechanism (that the SEC could adopt, I think, under its current authority) whereby each corporation had to make a statement about its principles annually.
University of Chicago Professor (and former Governor of the Central Bank of India) Raghuram Rajan seems to agree that this might be a useful idea. He wrote for Bloomberg on May 1, 2019:
"Given the considerable leeway corporate boards already have, it would be a step in the right direction for them to specify whose interests, including workers', they are protecting. That would allow investors to better gauge the trade-offs a board will make. It would also give core stakeholders greater confidence to invest in the corporation. Most important in these populist times, corporate boards can also then avoid unnecessary political flak by identifying their core stakeholders-those who make financial or other long-term real investments in the firm. That would not just circumvent progressive critics, it would also be the right thing to do."
For sure, consultants would love a disclosure and self-evaluation system. They would see a lucrative business both in designing loophole-ridden principles and in annually whitewashing half-hearted compliance. Every new requirement makes some set of lawyers, accountants, and consultants happy. But beyond token compliance, I think it is possible that progress gradually could be made. Forced to review the subject every year and to defend its conduct under the principles that it has adopted, a team management might be persuaded to move in the direction they have stated they believe in rather than having to defend some other business emphasis.
For me, the bottom line is that the BRT's new statement is a big step forward in a process that should lead to a better understanding of the role of large businesses in American capitalism without imposing new legal obligations that will tend to make those businesses less efficient and less able to attract capital.

Royal High Primary - Who Represents Us?
I was delighted to be invited, for the second year running, to the Royal High Primary to join the P7s for a discussion as part of their topic 'Who Represents Us?'.
We had a great discussion about the role of an MP as part of their democracy project.
Their questions kept me on my toes with everything from my favourite football team to trident, public speaking and if there was anyone in the SNP I didn't like (of course, there isn't).
And they have now convinced me to join Instagram - my username is tommysheppardsnp if you want to follow me!


Do you neglect your own needs to complete a task?
The flower essence of the Oak tree is for those who feel exhausted and have the tendency to never give up, regardless of difficulties. You might need the essence just for your present situation though you might be also a typical Oak personality, which is strong, courageous and has an intense sense of duty. You readily share another's burden and take over their responsibilities. You are afraid to appear weak and might not know when to give up or how to give up.
The healing forces of the Oak flower will connect you with a balanced view and an acceptance of limitation, a sharing of the burden and the development of less rigid ways to express your will. It balances the male and female side within us.
The Oak tree is a sturdy tree, and will not bend with the wind, yet it is the tree that endures and is steadfast. In older days the wood was used to build ships, great cathedrals, churches and halls.
The tree is a very nurturing tree with its acorns and offers shelters for many plants and creatures. It tolerantly hosts hundreds of different insects and they provide food for the birds and rodents. They are rich in undergrowth since Oak trees allow light through to the other plants beneath; mosses and even seedling trees grow on their branches.
An oak tree can easily become hundreds of years, sometimes over 1000 or, as I found in North Florida, over 2000 years (see photo above). For all the strength of the Oak tree, however, it is noticeable that they can crack open, branches can break or die back. The Oak tree never gives up: they can still be struggling into leaf when the tree is rotten with age. It represents abundance.

Nominate titles for the next installment of our Twitter-based book club.
This month the 1book140 community decided to reprise last October's theme: scary books. Last year, the group read Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box and enjoyed it thoroughly. So when it came time to choose our October read, there were many similar suggestions.
This genre varies widely.There's classic horror such as Poe and Lovecraft. And there are classic monsters, like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
More recently, "neo monster lit" has caught on, and titles like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Killer have turned up on bookshelves.
So let's have your nominations for a scary read this month...and plan on joining us!
Nominations close on Friday, and we'll post the shortlist and begin voting on Monday. Happy reading!


This route is starting from Ston town in the connecting part of the mainland and the peninsula. First kilometers of the road are historic so called Napoleonic road, where the original Napoleons marching route between Ston and small village of Ponikve is. If you are interested about some hiking or brave enough to take your bike to these paths on the mountains you'll see some historic walls and special spots.
The road 414 goes through this beautiful peninsula and then on the north it takes you to harbour where you can take the ferry back to the mainland.
All together the road is very nice ride with slow bending fast sweepers and only a few tight corners.
There are multiple spots where you can stop and see the panoramic view all around you and the adriatic sea.
Ride and enjoy, please tell us if you saw any historic spots?


Hand block printed vegetable dye throw rug or mat. Very primitive appeal with drops of misplaced dye or smudges from the artists hands as he pressed his blocks to the fabric, forever leaving his trace. It does not get any closer to "handcraft" than this. Please note that print and dye imperfections are not to be considered defects but rather characteristics associated to the art of hand block printing, the oldest and slowest form of textile printing known to man. Made of 100% cotton and measures approx. 24 x 36 inches with 1.5 inch fringe on each end. Should be machine washed separately on cold/gentle and laid flat to dry. Lovely floral and paisley Anthurium print pattern in shades of indigo blue, crimson red and black on beige background. Truly a work of art which can only be achieved by human hand, make this throw rug or mat a treasure to own.


The Super Surfer Vaporizer is the world's most versatile desktop vaporizer. In addition to all the capabilities of a standard Silver Surfer, it includes a forced air system that can be used to fill a vapor bag or can be used with a whip. It has a lighted base with multiple lighting modes to create the desired ambience for your vape session. It ships with a custom paddded bag, an aroma top, and all the accessories needed to vape with the included whip and/or vapor bag. Like all 7th Floor vaporizers, it is also compatible with a variety of filtration and cooling accessories.
The best customer service possible!
Another excellent transaction with Vaped.ca! Excellent communication, great packaging and smooth shipping!
This is a solid desktop vape that claims to be an all in one unit. The regular whip draw works extremely well at noon. Any hotter and the experience is not as good.
The fan system takes a lot of fine tuning to avoid scorching the material. Not really worth the hassle in my opinion.
It is however very useful for those with weaker lungs or not able to inhale for long periods of time. Turn it on low and just let it slowly fill your lungs.
Quick heat up, can be left on for months, built like a tank, will last you forever, performs well with small loads.

Nigeria: Devout Followers Of The 'Prophet' Slaughter 12 During Attack Against Christian Villages
Heavenly Father, give your children the strength to remain firm in Christ, even unto death …
James 5:8, "You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near."
Acts 14:22b, "… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."
Mohammed's Mandate: Destroy Christians, Both Young And Old
CBN News – "Twelve people died in Nigeria after attacks on two Christian villages this weekend.
Authorities suspect Islamic extremists are behind the violence. The radical Islamic Boko Haram is waging a war to establish Shariah law in northern Nigeria.
One attack took place at a pre-wedding bachelor party. Suspected fighters from Boko Haram opened fire on the group, killing eight people. The assaults are the latest in a string of violence against Christians that began four years ago.
The leader of the group Abubakar Shekau threatened more attacks in a video.
'As for killing, we will kill because Allah says we should decapitate, we should amputate limbs, we should mutilate,' he said.
Shekau made it clear Boko Haram is fighting in the name of Islam.
'They try to brainwash the people that we are fighting an ethnic war,' Shekau said in the video.
'No, we are fighting a religious war, we are fighting Jonathan, we are fighting Christians,' he said, referring to President Goodluck Jonathan.
The attacks, which have killed thousands, have harmed Muslims as well as Christians.
Shekau goes on to mock the U.S. and Nigerian governments for placing bounties on his head – a reward of $7 million by the United States and $312,500 by the Nigerian government.
'We do not worship money,' he said. 'You can't in any way harm me.'" Read more.

'These attacks on Christian members of our churches have disrupted church activities, as Christians can no longer worship together in their congregations,' the Rev. David Bello, bishop of the Anglican diocese of Otukpo, told Morning Star News. The Rev. Michael Apochi, Roman Catholic bishop of Otukpo Diocese, added that attacks by Muslim Fulani gunmen have devastated Christian communities." Read more.

The Islamization Of Britain In 2013
Proverbs 14:8, "The prudent understand where they are going, but fools deceive themselves."
Local high school students visit the engineering department of Birmingham Metropolitan College.
By Soeren Kern, Gatestone Institute – "The Muslim population of Britain topped 3.3 million by the end of 2013 to become around 5.2% of the overall population of 63 million, according to figures extrapolated from a recent study on the growth of the Muslim population in Europe.
At the same time, opinion surveys consistently show that voters in Britain view Islam and the question of Muslim immigration as a top-ranked public concern. The British public, it seems, is increasingly worried about the establishment of a parallel Muslim society there.
But government efforts to push back against the Islamization of Britain have been halting and half-hearted.
What follows is a chronological review of some of the main stories involving the rise of Islam in Britain during 2013.
In January, Muslim gangs were filmed loitering on streets in London and demanding that passersby conform to Islamic Sharia law. In a series of videos, the self-proclaimed vigilantes—who call themselves Muslim London Patrol—are seen abusing non-Muslim pedestrians and repeatedly shouting 'this is a Muslim area.'
One video records the men shouting: 'Allah is the greatest! Islam is here, whether you like it or not. We are here! We are here! What we need is Islam! What we need is Sharia!'
The video continues: 'We are the Muslim Patrol. We are in north London, we are in south London, in east London and west London. We command good and forbid evil. Islam is here in London. [Prime Minister] David Cameron, Mr. Police Officer, whether you like it or not, we will command good and forbid evil. You will never get us. You can go to hell! This is not a Christian country. To hell with Christianity. Isa [Jesus] was a messenger of Allah. Muslim Patrol will never die. Allah is great! Allah is great! We are coming!'
In a January 23 interview with the online newspaper International Business Times, Anjem Choudary, a radical preacher who has long called for Sharia law to be implemented in Britain and other European countries, defended the gang, saying: 'This is a wake-up call for society to ask, 'where are we headed?' There is a clash between Islam and liberal democracy in hotspot areas of London.'
Choudary has previously led a campaign, known as the Islamic Emirates Project, to turn twelve British cities—including what he calls 'Londonistan' — into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves, ruled by Sharia law and governed entirely outside British jurisprudence.
In February, Choudary was filmed urging his followers to Read more…

Kenya: Muslim Cleric Advocating Peace Is Brutally Beaten By Muslim 'Youth' For Peaceful Purposes
The ironies of the "Religion of Peace" would almost be funny if they weren't so deadly …
Qur'an Sura 4:76a, "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah …"
Revelation 13:15, "And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain."

By Calvin Onsarigo and Alloys Musyoka, allAfrica – "Mombasa Muslim Association chairman Shaahid Sheikh was on Thursday attacked by radical Muslim youths at the troubled Sakina mosque in Mombasa's Majengo area.
Shaahid, a trustee of the mosque, was assaulted after Maghrib prayers. He was rushed to hospital seriously injured.
Worshippers at Sakina said Shaahid had delivered a message opposing the wave of radicalisation and the forceful takeover of mosques by youths preaching 'jihad sermons'.
Shaahid had called media houses for a press conference to be held after the evening prayer at the mosque. Mombasa CID boss Nyaga Gachugi said the matter has been reported at Makupa police station and is being investigated.
'The youths were angered by the sheikh's statement and attacked him as he left the mosque. But he was rescued and whisked away,' he said.
Anti-Terrorism Police Unit officers are profiling six key leaders alleged to be behind the recent upsurge in radicalisation in Mombasa and Kisauni mosques.
On Monday, a radical youth from Majengo, 34-year-old Jamal Salim Mwangi, turned himself in to police after he claimed ATPU officers were trailing him.
Police confirmed that Salim was under police surveillance for allegedly recruiting youths to fight alongside Somalia's al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab." Read more.

Iran: Christians Arrested At House-Church In Tehran For Behaving Like Christians
They were celebrating the birth of the Jewish Messiah when, if recent statements from the Islamist government are any indication, they should have been celebrating the birth of the Islamic "messiah" instead …
Matthew 10:22, "And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved."
Mohabat News – "Reports from Iran indicate that five Christian converts from a house-church in eastern Tehran were arrested during a Christmas celebration. Iranian Christian converts face constant restrictions and persecution.
According to Mohabat News, Iranian security authorities raided a house, owned by Mr. Hosseini, where a group of Christians had gathered to celebrate Christmas on Tuesday, December 24. They arrested Mr. Hosseini , Ahmad Bazyar, Faegheh Nasrollahi, Mastaneh Rastegari, and Amir-Hossein Ne'matollahi.
The report received by Mohabat News stated: 'These Christians had gathered to worship and celebrate birth of Jesus.'
The Committee of Human Rights Reporters reported that armed plain-clothes security officers raided the house-church, insulted and searched those in attendance, thoroughly searched the house and seized all Christian books, CDs, and laptops they found. They also took the Satellite TV receiver.
The authorities also searched a neighboring house , because those present were observing the raid. They insulted and beat the father of the family and warned them not to speak with anyone about what they had witnessed.
There is still no update about the whereabouts or condition of these arrested Christians.
In recent years the authorities have intensified their pressure and threats against Christians around Christmas, and increased their surveillance of churches." Read more.

Russia: Back-To-Back Suicide Bombings Rock Russian City Of Volgograd, Dozens Killed
For peaceful purposes …
Qur'an Sura 48:29, "Mohammed is [Allah's] apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another."
Fox News – "A pair of suicide bombings that left 31 dead in Russia could be a chilling tune-up for the Olympic Games, where a Muslim terrorist leader has vowed to put Chechnya's long-standing grievance with Moscow in the international spotlight, according to terrorism experts.
Although no one has claimed responsibility for the twin bombings, which occurred less than 24 hours apart in the city of Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad, terror experts strongly suspect they were inspired, if not ordered, by Chechen Muslim rebel leader Doku Umarov. Umarov, who calls himself the emir of the terror group the Caucasus Emirate, has called on Muslims to attack civilians and to prevent the Olympics from occurring.
The games, scheduled to begin in six weeks in Sochi, the Black Sea resort about 400 miles southwest of Volgograd, are 'Satanic dancing on the bones of our ancestors,' Umarov said in a video released online in July.
The attacks, coupled with Umarov's call for violence, will cast a dark shadow over the games, according to Bruce Hoffman, director of the Center for Security Studies and Director of the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service.
'No Olympics in recent memory will commence as inauspiciously at the 2014 Sochi Games,' Hoffman told FoxNews.com. 'Although fear of terrorist attack has been a staple of Olympics security for the past four decades, the back-to-back blasts yesterday and today, coupled with another attack in the same city in October, are likely intended to be the opening salvos in a sustained terrorist campaign.
'This would be unprecedented in Olympic history and likely reflects the perpetrators' intention to disrupt the games even before the opening ceremony,' Hoffman added.
In the first attack, a bomber authorities believe may have been a woman detonated explosives in front of a metal detector just outside a train station entrance Sunday as a suspicious police sergeant approached to check the bomber's ID. The officer was one of 17 killed by the blast. Hours later, early Monday, a suicide bomber on a bus killed at least 14 people and left nearly 30 wounded, Russian officials said. The bombs were similar, according to Vladimir Markin, the spokesman for Russia's main investigative agency.

Steam Cleaning, sometimes referred to as hot water extraction, is the primary method of cleaning suggested by virtually every carpet manufacturer. The main reason is that steam cleaning thoroughly cleans throughout the entire carpet pile, backing And padding. The key to effective carpet cleaning is with steam and proper water extraction. The proper techniques are taught to each technician via intensive on-the-job training. None of our technicians are cleared to clean carpets until they are fully trained. Another factor in effective carpet cleaning is using a professional high-capacity water extraction equipment that will remove the majority of moisture from your carpets and rugs. For best service DFW Steam Cleaning uses powerful truck mounted water extraction and steam cleaning equipment. If you live in Dallas Texas Request an appointment today.
Steam cleaning is the #1 recommended method because it is the most effective deep cleaning process that does not leave chemical residue in the fibers which becomes sticky and captures dirt, sand, and debris after cleaning. Other carpet cleaners use other methods of cleaning such as dry compound cleaning, encapsulation, bonnet cleaning, shampooing, dry foam cleaning and make claims of zero residue left behind and 100% natural, organic, non-toxic or other claims - these are not accurate. If these other methods were better and more effective than hot water extraction/steam cleaning then they would be recommended.
Key advantages of steam cleaning are that clean water is heated up to a temperature safe for the fibers of the carpeting to around 230 degrees which under pressure penetrate all the way to the carpet padding. DFW Steam Cleaning uses the best equipment. Our truck mounted steam cleaning and water extraction units work in conjunction to clean and remove the soil, grime, grease, and sand from your carpeting simultaneously extracting up to 96% of the steam that did not escape and evaporate. Your carpeting will be slightly damp and will dry within 1-2 hours after cleaning. The steam cleaning method kills, bacteria, viruses, fleas, and bed bugs. Steam also sanitizes and deodorizes.

The sudden, rapid, and widespread increase in the number of specialized law reviews has attracted relatively little scholarly attention even though it is the most significant development in legal academic publishing in the second half of the twentieth century. As a consequence, there is a dearth of information about the proliferation, significance, and status of specialized reviews. In this Article, we attempt to fill this information gap by documenting the rise of the specialized review and by providing an empirical ranking of the top 100 specialized reviews.

In recent seasons, Re/Done's Sean Barron and Jamie Mazur have been redoing a lot more than vintage Levi's. First, they started reworking other heritage pieces, like vintage leather bombers, Hanes T-shirts, and camouflage pants, then they got a little more experimental with skirts and jackets made from scraps of discarded denim. A few months ago, they also teased their first accessories collaboration: a range of studded, leopard-spotted, and chunky-heeled Bass loafers, which will be available in the coming weeks. Naturally, you should wear them with your favorite pair of Re/Done stovepipes, but the classic shoes would look especially good with the brand's latest development for Resort 2019: reworked men's blazers.
Given the popularity of boxy, XL blazers at the moment, Barron and Mazur probably could have sold their vintage houndstooth jackets without reshaping them at all. But the wool jackets here—sharply tailored and hacked off at the bottom with frayed edges—look unlike the massive blazers we've seen on the runways. In fact, when Barron pointed out the soft, corset-like boning through the waist of one jacket, he said it reminded him of Azzedine Alaïa. It is arguably the most "fashion" piece Re/Done has ever designed, and Barron is so happy with the results, he decided to make a few brand-new double-breasted styles, too.
That polished sensibility felt new and was reflected in the lookbook. A denim bustier was layered over a crisp white button-down, for instance, and most looks were styled with ladylike kitten heels, not leather boots. The new puffers (made with Ukrainian brand Ienki Ienki) were tightly cinched with metal belts, and elsewhere, they introduced of-the-moment accessories like logo'd bucket hats, baseball caps, and knee socks. Now, you really can wear Re/Done from top to toe.
That's what Barron is most excited about. No longer does Re/Done feel like a reworked denim brand, nor is it strictly a "basics" brand. In fact, there's a rarefied, couture-light quality to it because nearly every piece is one-of-a-kind and some require hours of handwork. Consider the upcycled jacket and skirt made from pieced-together denim pockets, scraps, and waistbands carefully arranged "like a big puzzle." With items like that in high demand, virtually nothing will go to waste in the Re/Done factory, a bonus that goes hand-in-hand with the label's dedication to sustainability, recycling, and thoughtful sourcing.

Качана каша (укр.) или катанка (рус.) – блюдо из пшена, муки и яиц в традиционной украинской и русской кухне. Название происходит от процесса приготовления: пшено для каши сначала качают, трясут или катают, чтобы каждое зерно покрылось тестом.

В Украине качана каша готовится в Диканьском и Зеньковском районах Полтавской области, и является усовершенствованным вариантом каши затирки.

Аналогичное блюдо издавна готовят и в селе Роговатое в Старооскольском городском округе Белгородской области России, где оно называется катанка, реже – накотка . Ежегодно в селе проходит фестиваль русской кухни «Роговатовская катанка».  .

Качана каша постепенно выходит из употребления. Некоторыми украинскими шеф-поварами делаются попытки популяризации качаной каши .

Обычно качану кашу готовили на семейные праздники (свадьба, крестины) и при возведении новых домов. Каша сытная и питательная, привлекательно выглядит.

Приготовление
 Пшено засыпают порциями в широкую миску или на доску, поливают взбитыми яйцами, посыпают мукой и начинают смесь трясти или катать;
 Так должно происходить до тех пор, пока каждое зерно не будет покрыто тестом и не станет размером как соя (процесс продолжается 2-3 часа);
 Затем крупу надо подсушить, выкладывая тонким слоем на ткань;
 Засыпать кашу в куриный бульон в пропорции: 1 часть крупы и 3 части бульона;
 Варить 2 часа 30 минут с добавлением соли, специй и зелени.

It just isn't Christmas in Fatopia until I hear Snoopy's Christmas by The Royal Guardsmen. My dad has the album that is the whole Peanuts Christmas party, and I remember him playing it for us every Christmas when I was a kid. It marked the official start of the Christmas season in Fatopia back then. My brother and I used to laugh and giggle the whole time it played, and you could see in his eyes that Daddy really got a kick out of watching us listen to it.
He still has that album, but as you can imagine, the turntable he played it on played out many years ago. We have yet to find a way to transfer music from his extensive album collection to digital format, so I'm left to search places like YouTube to get my fix for many of the songs that bring back such warm and fuzzy memories. Thankfully, we have the internet!
And here is what I know as Snoopy's Christmas (although it seems to have many names) by The Royal Guardsmen.

Maha Laxmi Yog on Diwali After 7 Years!
Diwali is known to be one of the biggest and most important festivals in Hinduism celebrated on the day of Amavasya in the month of Kartik. This year, Diwali is celebrated today, i.e. on 7 November 2018, all around the country. It is believed that on the same day, Lord Ram, along with mother Sita and Lakshman, returned to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile. On this occasion, natives of Ayodhya lit diyas using ghee in their homes, due to which the black night of Amavasya glazed with bright light. Therefore, Diwali is also called Prakash Utsav or Festivals of Lights.
The festival of Diwali aesthetically reflects the victory of light over darkness. Rituals of this festival are observed for over a period of five days, but the main festival of Diwali is celebrated during the night on the New Moon of Pratipada. Goddess Lakshmi is specially worshiped on this day. Deepdan, Dhanteras, Govardhan Pooja, Bhai Dooj etc. are celebrated along with Diwali.

When Diwali Is Celebrated?
At the time of Pradosh on Amavasya during the month of Kartik, Diwali (Mahalaxmi Pujan) is observed. The most prevalent and valid period is when the time of Amavasya does not overlap or intersect with the Pradosh Kaal, after which it is valid to celebrate Diwali on the second day.
At the same time, many people also believe that if the date of Amavasya does not fall during the Pradosh Kaal for two days, then in such a situation, Diwali should be celebrated on the first day itself.
Apart from this, according to astrology, if the date of Amavasya does not fall, and after Chaturdashi, Pratipada begins directly, then Diwali should be celebrated on the date of Chaturdashi.
Diwali Puja Rituals
Firstly, it is necessary to worship Lord Ganesha when carrying out Diwali Puja. After that, bathe the idol of Lord Ganesha and offer new clothes and flowers.
After worshipping Lord Ganesh, start Laxmi Pujan.
Put the idol of Maa Lakshmi at the altar, join hands and pray for her to come in your house and bless your family.
After that, bathe the idol of Maa Lakshmi. It is auspicious to bathe her firstly with water, then Panchamrit and then water.
Offer clothes, jewelry and garland to Mother Lakshmi after bathing.
Offer perfume to the idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha and apply the Kumkum tilak.
Now light the incense stick and offer rose flowers at mother's feet.
When worshipping during the auspicious Muhurat on Diwali, offer 11 or 21 rice to Maa Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha and do the aarti. After that, circumambulate around them and offer food.
After that, distribute the prashad amongst family members and wish them a Happy Diwali.
What to do on Diwali?
On the day of Diwali or Kartik Amavasya, taking a bath after applying oil on the body is considered to be auspicious. It is said that by doing so, o harm comes by throughout the year.
It is believed that other than kids and elderly people, natives must fast on this day and must break it only after carrying out the Mahalaxmi Pujan.
On Diwali, offerings must be made to ancestors and forefathers.
During Pradosh Kaal, light a Diya, keep it on your hand and show ancestors the way to salvation. Using other means as well you can show the path to ancestors. It is believed that by doing so, ancestors attain moksha.
It is also believed that before Diwali during midnight, people must sing songs, bhajans and make merriments. By doing this, one gets rid of impoverishment.
Read in Detail: Diwali Puja Rituals & Rules
Diwali has its special importance both in spiritual and social form. In Hindu scriptures, Diwali symbolizes victory of spiritual light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, truth over lies and good over evil.
AstroSage team hopes for a prosperous Diwali. May the grace of Mata Lakshmi be always on you and you attain happiness and prosperity in your life.

OUR MISSION - The mission of this congregation is to worship God, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to celebrate the Sacraments; to realize Christian fellowship and unity within this church and the Church universal; to render loving service toward humankind and to strive for righteousness, justice, and peace. While we are a regional congregation we are committed to a ministry in Easton's downtown and to witness to our faith by reaching out to those living in our neighborhood.
OUR FAITH - This church acknowledges as its sole head, Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior. It acknowledges as kindred in Christ all who share in this confession. It looks to the Word of God in the Scriptures, and to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, to prosper its creative and redemptive work in the world. It claims as its own the faith of the historic Church expressed in the ancient creeds and reclaimed in the basic insights of the Protestant Reformers. It affirms the responsibility of the Church in each generation to make this faith its own in reality of worship, in honesty of thought and expression, and in purity of heart before God. In accordance with the teaching of our Lord and the practice prevailing among evangelical Christians, it recognizes two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion.
OUR COVENANT - We covenant one with another to seek and respond to the word and the will of God. We obediently strive to walk together in the ways of the Lord, made known and to be made known to us. We hold it to be the mission of the Church to witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all the world, while worshipping God and striving for truth, justice, and peace. As did our forebears, we depend on the Holy Spirit to lead and empower us. We pray for the coming of the Kingdom of God and we look with faith toward the triumph of righteousness and eternal life.


Jones said she never would have imagined ascending the ranks to become a general when she first joined the military.
"I don't think I had the wherewithal to think that that was possible," Jones said by phone from Kuwait. "I didn't really know enough about the military or the officer corps. I didn't start thinking about promotions until I reached the rank of lieutenant colonel ... then it dawned on me that I was progressing in such a way that might allow me to become a general officer."
In Kuwait, Jones oversees a command of active-duty and reserve soldiers who manage voice, data, e-mail and other information and communication systems for soldiers and coalition forces throughout southwest Asia, according to the Army. Jones is currently serving a yearlong deployment in Kuwait.
Though she has not lived in the Beaufort area for more than 25 years, Jones maintains close ties to the Lowcountry.
Much of her family, including her mother, still lives in the Beaufort area. She is a member of the Second Celestial Baptist Church in Seabrook and owns a company that develops affordable rental properties locally.
Jones credits much of her success to her family and the place she still calls home.
"My promotion and my success have never been about me," Jones said. "It's about my family, my friends who have supported me and about our soldiers. I came from a powerful community of people who care. No matter where I go or where my travels take me ... whenever I think about home, it's always Beaufort County. I'll consider it home forever."


Think global, act local. That has been a mantra of grassroots activism for decades. It's also a sentiment that would benefit those in the pipeline industry. Oil and gas pipeline projects have increasingly been the main target of anti-fossil fuel activists over the past decade, as opposition groups have found success in delaying construction through direct protest and a robust misinformation campaign.
To combat the tactics of these adversarial groups, pipeliners must think about the overall success of the industry and do all they can in their local communities to spread the positive stories of the industry. That means getting involved in local townhall meetings, attending community events and — most importantly — talking to your neighbors.
Too often as a society, we rely on social media and technology to communicate. Putting that barrier between face-to-face interaction is eroding the foundations of community. Through guise of online anonymity, people are allowing negativity to reign. Social media can become an echo chamber, where only one side of the debate is reflected.
Getting out and actually speaking to the people in your neighborhood creates trust. One thing I have heard throughout my time covering the oil and gas pipeline industry is that this business is all about relationships. That same mentality must apply to everyday people.
Your friends and neighbors aren't hearing about the good things the pipeline industry does. More and more, they're turning to their social media feeds for news. As of August 2017, two-thirds (67 percent) of Americans reported that they get some portion of their news on social media, with 20 percent doing so often, according to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in September 2017.
We all know of the suspect websites and "memes" that can spread misinformation, while some groups will twist news stories to reflect their biased opinions. Unfortunately, the pipeline industry has become a target for these kinds of online posts from opposition groups.
And let's be clear. There's no such thing as "fake news." If it's fake, it's not news. However, battling misinformation has become routine for the pipeline industry, according to Tim Aydt, president of Marathon Pipe Line LLC (MPL). These anti-pipeline campaigns refuse to acknowledge the facts about pipeline safety and the societal benefits that indirectly come from energy and pipeline infrastructure development.
Helping your neighbors understand those benefits are precisely why industry proponents must spread the positive message about pipelines. To cut through the echo chamber of social media, that message is best told face-to-face.

What Causes Boaters to Wear Life Jackets?
January 6, 2020 | Dave Shaw
In general, the riskier the conditions, the more likely boaters are to wear life jackets.
Research Need
Annual statistics show that you are more likely to survive a boating accident if you are wearing a life jacket. In 2018, 35 people lost their lives on North Carolina waters. Twenty-nine of them were not wearing a life jacket.
While the percentage of adult powerboaters each year that wear life jackets is slowly increasing, that number remains low. About 7% of adult powerboaters (not including personal watercraft) wore life jackets in 2017.
Life jackets can be hot, uncomfortable and ill-fitting — and these excuses contribute to non-use by boaters.
That said, wouldn't it be interesting to see what environmental conditions or situational factors cause more boaters to wear life jackets?
What Did They Study?
A research group has been documenting life jacket "wear rates" of recreational boaters in the United States from 1999 to 2017. To accomplish this, researchers stood on land at fixed locations throughout the country and observed and documented life-jacket use patterns among boaters on inland and coastal waters. For each observation, the team also recorded seven environmental conditions (like water temperature and wave height) and six situational conditions (like the size of boat, the activity, and whether a child was onboard).
To see whether these conditions or situations affected life jacket use, researchers further classified each of the 13 conditions as "risky" or "not-risky" based on expert boating safety criteria from the U.S. Coast Guard.
In general, the team observed that the rate of life jacket use increased as the number of risky conditions or situations increased. The trend held across all types of powerboats observed in the study.
Cold water temperatures, cold air temperatures, raining or stormy weather, strong current, children on board, and boat size were all significant predictors of life jacket usage for every type of powerboat.
This research suggests that most boaters understand the connection between wearing life jackets and preventing drowning, yet still too few are wearing them.
When we are talking about life and death situations, sample size matters. From 1999 to 2017, this research group observed 272,354 boats and 766,576 boaters, including 13,675 boats carrying 37,577 boaters in 2017 alone.
There were 11,852,969 registered boats in the United States in 2018. North Carolina ranks ninth nationwide with 378,142.

I landed in Iloilo at about 5:45 AM, straight from working 1 and a half shift to cover for my being out and away on a Friday, sleep hasn't bothered me yet for more than 24 hours. Still, I was feeling non-lethargic as if I've chugged down a liter of Red Bull energy drink. I took a shuttle ride from the airport which took me down to SM City in Iloilo.
Too early to meet up yet with my couchsurfing host Joanne, who was still at work that time. I decided to drop by a few churches in Iloilo which I've penciled out as places of interest for myself to visit during the 2011 Dinagyang Festival.
The first church I visited was the Molo Church or the St. Anne Parish Church. It was a short 10 minute ride from SM City where I took a jeep to Leganes then got off at the intersection to hop into another jeepney going to Oton - (Villa Mohon). The church is seen from the road so its easy to spot it and from Molo Church you can take a jeepney going to Miag-ao and San Joaquin which will have you passing through other old churches like the ones in the towns of Guimbal and Tigbauan.
I don't really go to mass regularly, you can drag me to a club almost similarly to dragging me to attend a mass, which is zero chance. It's not happening. However, regardless of my religious indifference and inactivity in practicing my faith - I have this deepened interest in visiting places of worships whenever I could. Thailand and other countries in Asia has been on my list namely because of its temples and the mosque in the Middle East are also included in my "someday list".
The Philippines, being a former Spanish colony wherein they converted us to Christianity, has many churches scattered all over that serves as a trail of their religious transformation of Filipinos. A large number of old churches was erected in Northern Luzon from Isabela circling to Aparri, Ilocos, La Union, Pangasinan, Pampanga and unto Laguna, Bulacan, Batangas and Rizal. From there the trail, continues in the southern part like Bicol, Panay Island, Negros, Bohol and Cebu. Following these trail of old churches - one can have a definite idea of the places where the Spanish became successful in their quest for religious transformation. One can say, they haven't had much luck in Mindanao.
It was primarily because of the resistance of the Muslims there, which proved to be a huge barrier in their over-all conquest of the Philippines. These resistance came in the form of the "Muslim marauders" or the "Moro" which the word "Molo" came from, when Chinese settlers referring to the "Moro" who used to attack the coasts of Panay to gather slaves, had a hard time pronouncing the word, thus the "Molo" version of the word was coined.
The "Molo" church was not different from other churches in the Philippines that was built during the Spanish period. It has gone through Muslim raids, earthquakes, fires and other beatings from time. Built in 1866 it now features 16 statues of female saints such as Saint Clara, Julianna, Rosa de Lima, Teresita, Cecilia, Marta and Margarita.
A fact that earned the church a moniker of being the "feminist church in the Philippines". It was made of coral stones and features a Gothic themed architecture making it among the few Gothic churches outside of Manila. Its two towers are pointed with dome shaped altar and ceiling that is adorned with huge wall paintings. The church took its name from St. Anne, the maternal grandmother of Jesus Christ and was declared as a national landmark by the National Historical Institute in 1992.
The church is located near a small plaza where I took a brief rest and stared at old people exercising. A few steps from the plaza I settled on a small carinderia and ordered myself, guess what? a bowl of "Pancit Molo". I felt tired for the first time, being a long day and all even though its still early in the morning. But, I have yet to start my trip and the idea that I just started and I have a long way to go with more places and churches waiting for me to see, made me unwary of my body's hunger for a prolonged and timely sleep.
"There is no sleep for the curious traveler" I told myself. After sipping through the last drop of my Molo soup I stood up and took one last look at the church - bid farewell and off I go to my next pit stop.

Plot:

How do I find the exact x value when y == 0? I tried doing interpolation, but it does not necessarily give me a y value equals to zero. Does anyone know of a function to find zero crossings?

A: Firstly, one can define a corresponding (linearly) interpolated function with
approxfun(df$x, df$y)

where the result looks like
curve(approxfun(df$x, df$y)(x), min(df$x), max(df$x))

Those zero crossing then can be seen as the roots of this function. In base R there is a function uniroot, but it looks for a single root, while in your case we have two. Hence, one option would be the rootSolve package as in
library(rootSolve)
uniroot.all(approxfun(df$x, df$y), interval = range(df$x))

Hmm, probably a magno-mine. Remote detonated.
- You all right? - They winged me. Detonate the mine.
We have them. Detonate the mine! I'm... I'm trying!
- Will you detonate the mine? - It's not responding, sir!
- What happened? - Detonator. A detonator!
