Packing a family for a road trip used to be stressful. With a family of four and not enough car space for us, fitting everything in seemed like a puzzle. Not being used to the room in the 2014 Toyota Sienna, the stress level hit when I planned two back to back weekend getaways. One of the weekends was a girl's weekend to South Lake Tahoe, California for five girls. The girl's weekend consisted of staying in cabins so bringing sleeping bags and pillows were a must along with our luggage.
The day of our road trip, I picked up the girls and we loaded up all our belongings into the back of the 2014 Toyota Sienna. Seven luggage bags, 5 sleeping bags, a comforter, and 5 pillows filled the cargo area. It was so exciting when I realized everything fit into the cargo area without having to find spaces where we sit to store some items. That meant we all had space in the van to relax and enjoy our drive.
The drive to Tahoe is long and curvy which makes those who get car sick a little uneasy. One of the girls in the car known for getting car sick even while driving was so surprised when she didn't get nauseous in the van once! I have a feeling it has to do with how smooth of a ride the 2014 Sienna is. The van took the curvy roads like a champ and made for an extremely comfortable drive.
We were so excited when we made it to South Lake Tahoe that we knew it was the perfect moment for a photo op!
After taking the photo I noticed a gas station across the street. Knowing we still had a little drive ahead I checked my gas gauge and was so happy when I saw we still had a half tank. The 2014 Sienna really does have great fuel economy for as big of a vehicle this is.
We arrived to our cabin just in time to see the sun setting and it couldn't have been a more beautiful view.
Knowing the 2014 Sienna not only fit everything needed for five girls, but made for an extremely comfortable road trip, made me so excited for the road trips I had planned in the near future.
Our drive to Tahoe will be one I will always remember.
Toyota provided me with a Sienna to review and a $500 giftcard for activities throughout the campaign. All opinions are my own.

Wow that looks like a great ride.

Home News	African 'barons' seek firmer foundations
African 'barons' seek firmer foundations
By William Wallis in London
Time will tell whether new philanthropic groups are reliable
Like their American counterparts did in the 19th and early 20th centuries some of the richest Africans are beginning to look a little guilt struck.
Or, so it might seem from the number of philanthropic foundations springing up across the continent designed by business tycoons, former generals and assorted other multimillionaires to offload part of their recent fortunes on chosen causes and those in need.
In the past week two new entries have joined the lengthening list of Africa's wealthy taking their cue from the Rockefellers, Carnegies and Fords.
Patrice Motsepe, the mining magnate who was South Africa's first black billionaire, became the first African to join Warren Buffett's "giving pledge" which seeks to persuade the wealthiest Americans to donate a majority of their wealth to philanthropy.
On Friday, Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria's former head of state, is launching his own UK-registered foundation to promote education for girls, food security and youth employment and tackle disease.
Mr Motsepe's gesture is well timed. The enduring inequities of South Africa post-apartheid have been brought into sharp relief by industrial and social unrest. Public anger there has been turning on the politically connected tycoons who have profited from a policy of "black economic empowerment." Mr Motsepe is worth an estimated $2.65bn.
Mr Obasanjo's gesture falls into the more grandiose category of former statesmen. He has already built a presidential library at his home town where papers from his time as head of state are accessible, in the style of US presidents.
Now, like his friend Jimmy Carter, whose long battle against the guinea worm has brought one of Africa's nastier parasites to the point of extinction, Mr Obasanjo says he wants to use his influence to channel money into tackling some of Africa's more intractable problems. "Are there already too many foundations? With all the problems we still have, I would say there are not enough," Mr Obasanjo told the Financial Times.
As well as being one of the world's fastest growing markets for champagne, Nigeria is also one of the fastest evolving platforms for foundations. This partly reflects the rapid accumulation of capital in a small number of hands since the country began emerging on the back of rising oil prices and liberal market reforms from the prolonged slump under military misrule.
You can trace the contours of Nigeria's recent commercial evolution by the source of foundation wealth – oil, cement, banking and to some extent government largesse – as you could in the US with the Rockefeller (oil) Carnegie (steel) and Ford (cars) foundations. At their best, some of the newer foundations have had a catalytic effect, focusing discussion on issues critical to Africa's future and helping to build powerful pan-African constituencies around reform.
At their more questionable, they have looked more like an exercise in image laundering, or an accessory to gain influence and profile on the international stage.
A more fundamental question is whether ultimately the work carried out by unaccountable philanthropic groups, and the growing influence they are exerting, is reliable and effective. Since the phenomenon is relatively young in Africa, the source of funding, and way in which it is spent, can be opaque and poorly regulated.
Foundations, both western and African, are filling the gap in African countries where the state has been hollowed out and services are left wanting. Effectively this is the privatisation of public goods.
The flipside is that this relieves African states of responsibility. When foundations are scrambling to provide bed nets and clinics, stretched African governments breathe a sigh of relief.
Some American 19th century industrialists were also of course known as robber barons. Mr Obasanjo concedes that foundations throwing bad money after good will quickly fall away. But he adds with a chuckle: "If it is image laundering in the service of humanity. So much the better."

Deutsche Welle - Germany - Nazi Trials
Auschwitz survivors speak in Detmold on eve of new Nazi trial
Auschwitz survivors, and witnesses against former SS-member Reinhold H., gave a press conference ahead of a new trial of the former death camp guard. They insisted that this trial represents an important new legal step.
Auschwitz survivors and their lawyers held a press conference in the western German town of Detmold on Wednesday, on the eve of the next trial of a former guard at the notorious Nazi death camp. The 94-year-old, named in the German media only as Reinhold H., was ruled fit to stand trial in a new medical assessment ordered last week by the state court.
"This trial should have happened 40, 50 years ago," said 90-year-old Justin Sonder, a German who survived Auschwitz in his youth. "But now it is not too late to show what once happened."
The guard has been charged with 170,000 counts of accessory to murder for being stationed at the death camp from January 1943 to June 1944. He is alleged to have been a member of the 3rd SS Division Totenkopf (sometimes called the "Death's Head Division" because of its skull-and-crossbone insignia), which was in charge of administering concentration camps.
Christoph Heubner, executive vice president of the Berlin-based International Auschwitz Committee, said this case marked an important new development after last July's conviction in Lüneburg of Oskar Gröning, another former Auschwitz guard who was sentenced to four years in prison.
"A state prosecutor has for the first time explained in the indictment that the entire system in Auschwitz was a murder system," Heubner told DW. "That murder not only took place through gas, but through starvation, through forced labor, through living conditions. And that is new, that it has been explained so clearly."
Nor does Heubner believe that this trial will be the last of its kind. "I think the courts will continue to investigate as long as SS men are still alive – that is their legal duty," he said.
The 'Hungary Operation'
The prosecution argues that, as an Unterscharführer (junior squad leader), Reinhold H. would have been responsible for guarding transports of people entering the camp.
But a key part of the case against him is that he was at the death camp for what became known as the "Hungary Operation," the three-month period from May to July 1944 when over 430,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz and over 300,000 were gassed on arrival.
Even by the standards of the Holocaust, it was an unprecedented acceleration in the rate of deaths. The operation was the first time the camp began working round the clock, and arguably the moment that Auschwitz acquired its iconic notoriety among all of the Third Reich's concentration camps.
Concentrating on the Hungary Operation has become a prosecution tactic in the recent round of Holocaust trials. Gröning was also convicted – on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder – exclusively for his participation in the operation, even though he spent over two years stationed at Auschwitz.
This is partly down to the fact that it is easier, both logistically and legally, for the prosecution to isolate the Hungary Operation as a single crime – distinct from the enormity of the Holocaust, but still part of it and representing both the size of the crime and its impersonal, "industrialized" nature.
Legal turning point
Reinhold H.'s attorney, Johannes Salmen, told the AP news agency that his client acknowledges serving at the Auschwitz I part of the camp complex in Nazi-occupied Poland, but denies serving at Auschwitz II, the Birkenau section, where most of the 1.1 million victims were killed.
Prosecutor Andreas Brendel countered that this would not have exempted him from duty, especially during the acceleration. "We believe that these auxiliaries were used in particular during the so-called Hungarian action in support of Birkenau," Brendel said.
The question that always plagues late Holocaust trials remains: why now, so late? How does punishing a man of over 90, whose role in the Holocaust was relatively minor, serve justice? The answer is that many believe the German justice system has failed to punish active participants in the Nazi genocide. The historian Andreas Eichmüller once counted only 49 convictions from the 6,500 SS officers who were stationed at Auschwitz and survived the war.
In part, this was largely down to the legal problem suggested above: under German law, participation in the Holocaust was not a crime, and defendants could only be convicted for a specific provable act of murder or torture. But the way the mass executions were carried out virtually absolved everyone involved of a specific prosecutable act – at least according to the interpretation of most post-war German state prosecutors. It was only with the conviction in 2011 of John Demjanjuk – a former guard at the Sobibor death camp – that this interpretation changed.
Heubner also insisted on the continued importance of Auschwitz trials – even in the face of arguments that Germany has raked over its Nazi history often enough. "The legal reappraisal of the history has not yet been finished – a social reappraisal is something very different," he said. "This is also a description of a historical situation that shows how quickly a society can slip into the loss of freedom, the loss of human rights, and that's why it's very, very topical and politically charged."

Vince Aletti - Revealing what you never sawWords by Marina Pérez
Revealing what you never saw
The renowned writer and curator Vince Aletti has been amassing heaps and piles of magazines for decades now, owning what's probably one of the largest collections of magazines. For his new book, Issues, published by Phaidon, Aletti has personally selected one hundred significant fashion magazine issues from his expansive personal archive, revealing images by photographers rarely seen in their original context and drawing attention to all the important photography that fashion magazines have published over the past nearly one hundred years. "The best fashion magazines are eye-opening collections of smart, avant-garde photography and art. I wanted to open more eyes", the master of magazines tells us. Discover what else he has to say.
Mr Aletti, you are a writer, curator, critic and collector. It seems to be already known that you cohabit with thousands and thousands of magazines, probably being the owner of the largest personal collection of magazines in the world. Could you give us a deeper insight into your archive, what kind of magazines do you tend to amass?
I'm sure there are other substantial collections of magazines in private hands, but I do have a lot, nearly all of which reflect my interest in photography and graphic design. The bulk of my archive is fashion-related, including nearly complete runs of American Vogue and Harper's Bazaar from the mid-1920s to the present. But I have vintage issues of all sorts of things, from Fortune (for its Walker Evans material) to Domus (for William Klein's covers) to Show (Diane Arbus, Irving Penn, Saul Leiter). These days, I tend to pick up every important European fashion magazine, but outside of that area, the range remains pretty broad: Holiday, World of Interiors, Apartamento, Luncheon, Artforum, Physique Pictorial, Kink.
Your collection is the basis for a new book called Issues, out from Phaidon, which focuses solely on your collection of fashion material. When did your passion for print and collecting magazines start? And at what point in the history of fashion magazines does the book start?
My obsession with printed matter started early. I had a subscription to House & Garden when I was 14 and started buying all the classic George Lois issues of Esquire not long after. I began to focus on fashion magazines in college, in the 1960s, when their editors and photographers were as excited as I was about Pop culture. But Issues starts much earlier, about the time when photography began taking over from illustration in fashion magazines. The first issue in the book is a Harper's Bazaar from May 1925 with extraordinary Baron De Meyer material.
Do you judge a magazine by its cover?
Yes! Although I included a number of magazines in my book that had less than brilliant covers, the cover is usually what draws me to a magazine in the first place. Over the years, they've provided prime positions for work by Horst, Beaton, Blumenfeld, Penn, Avedon, Warhol, Newton, and Meisel. When it comes to new magazines, I have a hard time buying one with what I consider a bad cover, but if the contents are great, I can get over it.
French Vogue, May 1939, Erwin Blumenfled; from Issues: A History of Photography in Fashion Magazines, Vince Aletti, Phaidon (pages 52-53)
Issues is the first survey to explore the history of photography through the lens of fashion magazines, spanning the years 1925 to 2018, and through a selection of one hundred significant magazine issues from your archive, revealing images by photographers rarely seen in their original context. How did you carry out this selection? Did you always have clear which were the issues you wanted to feature?
I began the project with a short list of magazines that I thought best conveyed my point about fashion magazines as environments for great photography of all sorts, including Lee Miller's shocking images of bodies piled up outside a liberated concentration camp in Germany (Vogue, 1945); Lisette Model's New York street scenes (Harper's Bazaar, 1946); and Irving Penn's Small Trades series of workmen in New York, Paris, and London (Vogue, 1950). Although several issues were included because of a single iconic image (Horst's Mainbocher corset, for example), that image was rarely without substantial support and most issues are packed with great work.
What is the motivation behind Issues? How did this project start?
I wanted to draw attention to all the important photography fashion magazines have published over the past nearly one hundred years, much of it having nothing to do with fashion. And I knew that a lot of the best fashion photography doesn't get seen outside the magazines that publish it. Unless you're looking at virtually every European and American fashion magazine out there, you probably haven't seen most of the contemporary work in Issues, very little of which has been published or exhibited in any other context. The best fashion magazines are eye-opening collections of smart, avant-garde photography and art. I wanted to open more eyes.
Issues presents rarely published images of distinguished photographers such as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Edward Steichen, Toni Frissell, Irving Penn, Diane Arbus, Collier Schorr, Inez and Vinoodh, Juergen Teller, Bill Cunningham and Cindy Sherman, as well as lesser-known photographers from the early twentieth century until today. The magazines include the American, British, French and Italian editions of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Face, Pop and W. If you had to choose a favourite series of photographs, which one would it be?
Every entry in Issues includes favourite work, so this is a difficult choice to make. But I keep coming back to Diane Arbus' work for Children's Fashion of the [New York] Times in the late 1960s, partly because it's very rare to see her photographs in colour but mostly because it's as charming as it is quirky. Also: every cover Steven Meisel did for Italian Vogue.
Vogue, May 1975; Deborah Turbeville; from Issues: A History of Photography in Fashion Magazines, Vince Aletti, Phaidon (pages 216-217)
You previously said that your interest in magazines stems largely from photography rather than fashion. Nonetheless, what does fashion photography have that other typologies don't according to you?
The best fashion photographers are relentlessly inventive, always finding new ways to show a figure in clothes. I'm not particularly interested in fashion but I like the fictions and atmospheres photographers devise to show it. In the 1990s, when so many gallery photographers (Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall, Cindy Sherman, Philip-Lorca diCorcia) were staging their work, it was impossible not to compare those photographs to what fashion photographers had been doing for decades, to little or no attention. I want to focus that attention back on fashion photographers.
Photographically speaking, what have been the most relevant years in history for fashion magazines?
There are a number of relevant periods, beginning in the 1930s with De Meyer, Steichen, Horst, Hoyningen-Huene, and Toni Frissell, all of whom helped to invent the modern fashion photograph. Avedon and Penn redefined the genre in the '40s and '50s – Avedon most radically, but both artists went well beyond fashion, increasing the cultural impact of the magazines with portraiture and, in Penn's case, still life. Every subsequent decade had its stars, from Hiro, Saul Leiter, Lillian Bassman, and Deborah Turbeville to Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Frank Horvat. We need more perspective on recent times, but Bruce Weber, Steven Meisel, and Steven Klein dominate and have been remarkably influential.
I see Issues as an ode to print magazines. While publishers talk about embracing the digital future, I feel that your new book encourages everyone to appreciate the photography in a good glossy read. How do you see the future of magazines?
While people are talking about 'the death of print', scores of magazines are getting bigger and more ambitious, more adventurous. I can't imagine a future without a magazine open on my lap. I know I'll never run out of vintage ones, but it's the new ones I value the most – the ones that play with the format, subvert expectations, give us (to paraphrase Diana Vreeland), "what we never knew we wanted."
The Face, July 1980, Corinne Day; from Issues: A History of Photography in Fashion Magazines, Vince Aletti, Phaidon (pages 256-257)

The death of the homeownership dream for middle-income Britain?
The dream of homeownership for middle-income Britain, individual buyers and those unable to draw on family wealth will be over in the next decade without urgent action by the government and industry, according to new research from Santander Mortgages.
Santander's First-Time Buyer Study: The Future of the Homeownership Dream – based on a national survey of 5,002 non-homeowners aged 18-40 years – finds that while nine in ten still want to get on the ladder, the reality is that by 2026 just one in four under 34s will achieve that goal.
Over half (51%) of those surveyed said that owning their own home is one of their top life goals – more than having children (27%) or getting married (19%). However, over two thirds (70%) of potential first-time buyers believe that the dream of homeownership is already over for many young people, with 64% expecting homeownership to fall for future generations.
The study finds that the sharpest fall in first-time buyer homeownership has been among those on middle-incomes (taken as being between £20,000-£30,000 in 2019) – with homeownership rates falling from 65% in 1996 to 27% two decades later. Of the new buyers entering the market today, 64% have household incomes of more than £40,000 and just 16% are individual buyers.
Miguel Sard, Managing Director, Santander Mortgages, commented: "It's clear that while the aspiration to own a home is just as strong as in previous generations, it's a dream that is looking increasingly out of reach. Without change, homeownership in the UK is at risk of becoming the preserve of only the wealthiest young buyers over the next decade. This report should be a wake-up call for industry and the government to think more creatively to keep the homeownership dream alive for the next generation of first-time buyers."
Barriers to the homeownership dream
The biggest barrier cited by first-time buyers to getting on the ladder is raising a deposit (30%), followed by getting a mortgage based on their income (15%).
The challenges faced by today's first-time buyers include house price inflation outstripping wage inflation – 47% vs 18% in the last ten years – as well as levels of student debt and the costs of childcare. The average age of a first-time buyer has increased from 25 to 33 years old in the last two decades, and 40% have already started a family. As a result, Santander found that the most sought-after first-time buyer property is now a three-bedroom house.
Buyers' ability to get onto the property ladder is increasingly dictated by the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' and family inheritances. While industry data shows that 39% of first-time buyers had help from living family, and 10% from an inheritance, Santander's research found that 40% of potential first-time buyers were relying on an inheritance to boost their deposit. But the costs of 'later life', such as care, could lead to future financial challenges for those 'gifting' wealth as well as those expecting an inheritance.
Santander's research also found that aspiring homeowners are underestimating the size of the deposit they need to save. With the majority of mortgage borrowing limited to 4.5x gross salary, the deposit amount buyers' in each region say they are looking to save would price individuals, or households relying on a single middle-income, out of every region in the UK.
Despite their ambitions, Santander's survey found that two fifths (42%) of potential first-time buyers have saved nothing at all towards their first home. Typically, men have saved twice as much as women (£11,660 compared to £5,620), while one in three men and nearly half of women (48%) have not saved anything.
Keeping the dream alive
Santander's research found that nearly three quarters (73%) of people surveyed believe that the government should do more to help first-time buyers. Over a third (37%) want to see 'Help to Buy' extended beyond 2023, 35% want a cap on rent prices, and a third (33%) would like to see the stamp duty cuts, introduced by the government in November 2017 for first-time buyers, extended to the first £500,000 of a property's value.
The 'Future of the homeownership dream' report calls for industry and the government to think radically and work together to explore a range of new ideas to ensure the homeownership dream is kept alive for future generations. Potential new policy ideas suggested in the report include:
Introducing a new lending model backed by the government to help those without family support to raise a deposit;
Introducing more flexibility in lending affordability criteria, for example less restrictive 'stress rates' for fixed-term mortgages; and
Making better use of existing housing supply and encouraging greater circulation of homes by introducing a stamp duty incentive for downsizing.
Santander forecast based on homeownership trend data published by the Institute for Fiscal Studies: 'Living standards, poverty and inequality in the UK'.

"Put me in, Coach. I'm ready to play today." When John Fogerty wrote what is probably his most memorable piece of music, "Centerfield," he was nervous that it would not be accepted. Sports songs didn't seem to mix well into the genre of Rock and Roll. At least, that is what Fogerty thought.
"Centerfield" is a cornerstone song played at ballparks across the country. The song plays continuously at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
You just never know, do you?
For me, baseball creates an excellent backdrop about the importance of creating a high-performance team for business or even for your personal life. There has been a lot written about teams:
How to Create a Team
The Five Dysfunctions of Teams
The Secrets of Teams
The Team Handbook
In fact, search "team" in Amazon books and you'll find almost 186,000 entries.
The one aspect of teams that has been largely ignored is the importance of the shortstop. For the first five years of baseball's history, there wasn't a shortstop. During the early years of baseball, a team could consist of eight to eleven players. Extra players were used in the outfield. Doc Adams, of the Knickerbockers, recognized the need for a position that could cover all the bases and backup the outfield. He created the position of shortstop around 1850.
A baseball team's shortstop is one of the most versatile players on the field. He handles infield fly balls, relays outfield balls, relays infield balls, and backs up third base, second base, and the pitcher.
What does this have to do with your team?
The shortstop on a baseball team is the most defensive position. He usually doesn't excel at hitting. He usually doesn't have a long throw. But what he does have is hustle, agility, and the ability to quickly adapt to any given situation. The shortstop knows how to play every position and cover everyone's back.
A good shortstop makes a good baseball team great.
Do you have a good shortstop on your team?
Someone who has hustle, agility, and can quickly adapt to any situation? Does your team have someone who knows everyone's function and could cover any deficiencies?
Probably not. Most teams don't.

Pharaoh Akhenaten, who reigned for seventeen years in the fourteenth century B.C.E, is one of the most intriguing rulers of ancient Egypt. His odd appearance and his preoccupation with worshiping the sun disc Aten have stimulated academic discussion and controversy for more than a century. Despite the numerous books and articles about this enigmatic figure, many questions about Akhenaten and the Atenism religion remain unanswered.
In Akhenaten and the Origins of Monotheism, James K. Hoffmeier argues that Akhenaten was not, as is often said, a radical advocating a new religion, but rather a primitivist: that is, one who reaches back to a golden age and emulates it. Akhenaten's inspiration was the Old Kingdom (2650-2400 B.C.E.), when the sun-god Re/Atum ruled as the unrivaled head of the Egyptian pantheon. Hoffmeier finds that Akhenaten was a genuine convert to the worship of Aten, the sole creator God, based on the Pharoah's own testimony of a theophany, a divine encounter that launched his monotheistic religious odyssey. The book also explores the Atenist religion's possible relationship to Israel's religion, offering a close comparison of the hymn to the Aten to Psalm 104, which has been identified by scholars as influenced by the Egyptian hymn.
Through a careful reading of key texts, artworks, and archaeological studies, Hoffmeier provides compelling new insights into a religion that predated Moses and Hebrew monotheism, the impact of Atenism on Egyptian religion and politics, and the aftermath of Akhenaten's reign.
9. The Influence of Atenism in Egypt and the Bible?
James K. Hoffmeier was born and raised in Egypt where his passion for the archaeology of Egypt began. During graduate school, he worked with the Akhenaten Temple Project and participated in excavations (1975-1978). From 1999-2008 he directed excavations in North Sinai and in 2005 he discovered unexpected evidence of Akhenaten's religious revolution. Since 1976, Hoffmeier has taught courses on Egyptian history, archaeology, and religion, as well as in the field of Old Testament, and has engaged in research and writing on areas where Egyptology and the Hebrew Bible intersect.


A test point serves to interconnect measurement signals at electrical tests. It is a pin / connector point in the outlet plug of a front plate module. The front plate module builds together with the test point card the test point module.
The entirety of test points is called switching matrix. The test points can be interconnected in to different manners: in a single point matrix a relay or transistor is located behind each test point while in a dual point matrix two test points next to each other share a relay with two contacts.
In a two-terminal measurement each test points interconnects both, generators and measurement units. Two wires are needed for a connection test of one line. In a four-terminal measurement, each test point connects either one side of the generator (force wire) or one side of the measurement unit (sense wire). Four wires are needed for the connection test of one line.

In the Republican Primary: Donald Trump for President
By The Editors • 04/12/16 4:07pm

Donald Trump is the father-in-law of the Observer's publisher. That is not a reason to endorse him. Giving millions of disillusioned Americans a renewed sense of purpose and opportunity is.
Explaining the phenomenon that is propelling the Trump candidacy is easy, despite the nattering of the cognoscenti—the media elite, the professional political class and the people largely insulated or directly benefitting from the failures of the last seven years. Their opinions have become increasingly irrelevant. For in the 10 months since Mr. Trump's campaign announcement, their "insights" have been uniformly wrong and their influence has dwindled.
The media and cultural elite's inability to grasp the profound alienation, anger and disillusionment of millions of Americans has fueled Mr. Trump's popularity. The media's enthusiastic embrace of the Obama narrative—that America should be willing to accept a dimmer future—has blinded it to the appeal of the Trump candidacy, and of an alternative, more compelling narrative.
This year, more people have turned out to vote in Republican primaries than ever before in our history. They have done so for a simple reason: they too believe that America can be great again. They have responded to Donald Trump's singular message.
When Mr. Trump celebrated his victory in the Nevada primary, he included a line the elites found irresistible: "I love the poorly educated." They tittered and Twittered with glee over what a buffoon these unwashed mongrels are supporting, somehow neglecting to notice that Mr. Trump won among—and thanked—just about every demographic in that caucus and in a couple dozen others as he's clawed his way to a substantial delegate lead. It turns out that the "poorly educated" are just one group of decent, engaged American citizens who have felt overlooked by the kingmakers and storytellers.
The legacy of Donald Trump's 30 years of leadership is everywhere—not only in the tall buildings that bear his name, but in the kitchens of the thousands of families supported by the jobs he's created.
Mr. Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015, never before having run for any political office. Three weeks later, the Economist/YouGov poll found him to be the front-runner. In the 10 months since, and despite near-universal media-bashing tinged with sarcasm and disbelief—not to mention the efforts of 16 declared Republican alternatives including eight governors and five senators—Mr. Trump has never relinquished that position.
The media tried very hard to construct excuses and rationales for his success. Mr. Trump was a celebrity, an entertainer; he knew how to play the media and gain its attention; his policies grabbed headlines but lacked the specificity of his rivals—which gave him an unfair advantage. But what every pundit's platitudes missed was simple: they failed to recognize that Mr. Trump's success is the result of one thing—optimism. Mr. Trump was tapping into the pent-up desire of millions of voters to make America great again.
It is not merely a political slogan; it is a vision and an attitude. It depends not on 14-point proposals or an SAT-like cramming of policy details. It depends on faith and leadership. Faith that Americans have the will to craft a brighter future, and the leadership to make it happen.
Throughout his career, Donald Trump has demonstrated real leadership. And he has done so in the private sector where people's livelihoods depended on his vision, his decisions and his ability to get others to embrace that vision and act in concert. The legacy of those 30 years of leadership is everywhere to be seen. Not only in the tall buildings that bear his name, but in the kitchens of the thousands of families supported by the jobs he created though these projects.
We were reminded recently of how Mr. Trump first came on the public scene. It was 1986 and Wollman Rink, Central Park's ice-skating facility was out of commission. A renovation that was supposed to have taken two years and cost $9 million had already consumed six years and more than $13 million—and there was still no completion in sight. Mr. Trump convinced Mayor Ed Koch—over a great deal of opposition—to allow him to take on the project. Mr. Trump offered to risk his own money, and only recoup the investment through more efficient operation of the facility and an adjacent restaurant.
Mr. Trump completed the work in four months and under budget. Thirty years later, it is still cited as a far-too-rare example of leadership in action, of a can-do spirit. Today, Mr. Trump's iconic buildings, hotels and golf courses dot the landscape of not only New York, but of America and the world—testament to his ability, still, to get things done.
Critics, particularly in the media, are quick to point out Mr. Trump's less successful ventures: Trump University, Atlantic City casinos, Trump Airlines and branded products such as vodka and steaks. Having tried (and sometimes failed) at our own entrepreneurial ventures, we are far more inclined to put these ventures into perspective. As Robert Kennedy said, "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
Before any endorsement is made, a full and fair assessment of the other candidates is essential. On the Republican side, that proved problematic, since it is hard to take either Ted Cruz or John Kasich seriously as prospective GOP standard bearers. Ted Cruz may be the most disliked person ever to sit in the United States Senate. And we are still wondering if his "New York values" comment was a veiled embrace of anti-Semitism.
John Kasich presents a more elusive challenge. He seems like a decent enough fellow with a record of conservative political achievements. But he's been finishing fourth out of three candidates and his inability to gain traction with voters suggests that his candidacy is little more than a place-holder for someone the media hopes to anoint—other than Mr. Trump.
Which brings us back to Mr. Trump, not by default but by choice. We are reminded of another presidential candidate who was derided for being "just an actor" and for proposing a vision for a stronger America. Today, many people forget what propelled Ronald Reagan into the White House in 1980.
There were a small number of simple messages that resonated with voters that year, and they were universally disparaged by the media as being shallow. The first was that as governor of California, Mr. Reagan had turned a state budget deficit into a surplus. Mr. Reagan would tell voters that he was willing to sit down with both union leadership and state management and get them to talk to each other, and to find common ground in the public interest. He reminded voters that he had honed his skills as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later negotiated better, smarter deals for the common good of the people of California.
Ronald Reagan's second message in 1980 was even simpler. During his only debate with President Carter—yes, there was just a single debate—Reagan asked Americans: Are you better off than you were four years ago?
Today, Donald Trump is asking a similar question: Do Americans want to continue on the path of the last seven years or forge a new direction? Do we want to continue policies that erode America's influence and safety in the world? Do we want to continue the politics of gridlock? Do we want to continue to undercut our prosperity and limit individual opportunity? Or do we want to move in a different, more promising direction?
The latter choice, the right choice, will only be accomplished by someone who has constructed great skyscrapers and gem-like skating rinks; started businesses, written best sellers and built brands. Tried and succeeded and sometimes failed. But who has gotten up and tried again.
We have a suggestion for a Republican establishment dismayed by this unlikely candidate's unlikely success: instead of monomaniacally focusing on tearing him down, those who care about the future of the party should reach out to Mr. Trump and help him grow as a candidate and a leader. He has demonstrated that he alone among the Republican field can attract new voters to the tent and shine fresh perspective on issues that badly need attention, such as America's commitment to NATO and trade deals that have sailed through Congress without much debate about their effects on American workers.
In 1980 Ronald Reagan said, "The time is now for strong leadership," and by 1984 was able to declare, "It is morning again in America." Today, Donald Trump says it is time to make America great again. We agree.

Can natural products help prevent, treat disease?
Richard van Breemen: "I hope that my research in natural products will benefit public health." — Photo: Roberta Dupuis-Devlin
When browsing the aisles at a health food store, Richard van Breemen doesn't see many botanical dietary supplements that he doesn't know about.
He doesn't sell the products, but he studies them.
A natural products specialist, van Breemen is director of the UIC/NIH Center for Botanical Dietary Supplements Research, one of only three botanical centers supported by the National Institutes of Health. In 2015, the center received a new five-year $9 million grant to continue its research of botanical dietary supplements for women's health. UIC's center has had continuous NIH support since 1999.
The botanical center investigates natural cancer chemoprevention agents and the safety and efficacy of botanical dietary supplements, especially those used by women as alternatives to hormone therapy and menopause. Van Breemen uses advanced mass spectrometry to trace the active ingredients in dietary supplements from the health food store to the bloodstream. Among the plants that have been or are currently being studied are black cohosh, red clover, chasteberry, valerian, hops, licorice and dong quai.
"The majority of drugs and supplements in use today are derived from natural products," said van Breemen, who is also professor of medicinal chemistry and pharmacognosy. "This should come as no surprise, as nature has already preselected these substances for bioactivity.
"Now that most major pharmaceutical companies have abandoned their natural products drug discovery programs, our search for new natural pharmaceutical agents has become even more imperative."
In the United States, 20 percent of adults report using botanical dietary supplements, while in developing countries, supplements and traditional medicines are often the primary sources of health care for disease prevention and treatment.
A pioneer in the field of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, van Breemen had little experience working with natural products until he was approached in the late 1980s by researchers asking for his assistance in identifying and measuring carotenoids, chlorophylls and phospholipids in plants and plant cells. Little did he know at the time that his career would take a different path.
"I hope that my research in natural products will benefit public health," he said.
Through his individual and collaborative efforts, van Breemen has authored or co-authored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and books, and has secured three patents for his work. He has also mentored 53 graduate students and 21 postdoctoral research associates.

The impact of lower total knee replacement rates in black Americans
It's known that racial minorities in the United States undergo fewer total knee replacements (TKRs) for knee osteoarthritis, but it's unclear how this affects their quality of life. A new study published in Arthritis Care & Research indicates that, on a population level, Black Americans lose 72,000 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) due to racial disparities in the lower rate of TKRs offered and acceptance, and higher rates of complications.
Assessing QALYs gains from current TKR utilization per 100 persons, Black males gained 4.8 QALYs, Black females gained 8.2 QALYs, White males gained 12.6 QALYs, and White females gained 15.7 QALYs. (A QALY is a year of life adjusted for its quality or its value. A year in perfect health is considered equal to 1.0 QALY.)
"Total knee replacement is a commonly used surgery that has remarkable impact on quality of life improvement. This is the first study that translates lower utilization of TKR by racial minorities into tangible losses in patients' well-being due to underuse of this highly efficacious procedure," said senior author Dr. Elena Losina, of Brigham and Women's Hospital.
