A voice of reason
Excellent point made via a letter to the editor to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
It's clear that drivers don't need more lanes
Paul Beitzel, a Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce vice president, and Beth Nichols, executive director of Milwaukee Downtown, both cited the lack of traffic congestion and minimal impact on downtown businesses caused by the Marquette Interchange project in the Nov. 26 Journal Sentinel ("Big interchange ramps ready to open").
This should come as no surprise. Drivers are remarkably resourceful both in finding alternative routes and in altering the time of day in which they drive. If a temporary reduction in freeway lanes caused by the Marquette Interchange project does not produce congestion, that tells me the existing number of lanes is adequate.
In view of this, one wonders why additional freeway lanes are needed.

The truth is: If you build it, they will come (and congest). If you don't, they will find another way.

'Un-malls' capture spirit of shopping
From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Dennis McCann:
Posted: Nov. 25, 2006
Dennis McCann
It is my strict policy never to write about the next holiday before the last one is officially over, but judging by the picked-over bones of poor Tom Turkey, it seems time to move on. And that brings us to Christmas, with its carols and lights and, yes, its obligatory shopping duties, which too often result in crowded malls, even more crowded parking lots and often cookie-cutter stores.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, if it's your thing. But there are many (picture my hand raised high in the air here) who prefer what we might call the un-malls, places where a day of shopping can be a whole new, and at the same time old-fashioned, experience.
These are small towns, usually, where the shopping is downtown and outdoors the way the shopping gods intended, where there are opportunities for a good long lunch and glass of wine to break up the day, where history is part of the bargain and where you won't find many big boxes but just might find little treasures.
Well, curl my shoes and call me Elfie because I've got enough such places to suggest they wouldn't all fit in one column. Today, then, I'll focus on un-malls in southwestern Wisconsin and next week highlight a few places even closer to Milwaukee. And if you don't get there by Dec. 25 don't worry - take out the Christmas angle and the rest of this advice is evergreen.

Editorial: Midwest governors should advocate for high-speed rail
By Howard A. Learner, executive director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, a Midwest-based environmental and economic development advocacy organization.
Nationally, while the public voted for change on Nov. 7, Midwest voters re-elected four pragmatic governors in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.
The combination of these second-term governors with the Democratic takeovers of the U.S. Senate and House - and going into the 2008 national elections, with pivotal Midwest electoral votes at stake - provides a potent force for cooperative regional solutions to pressing problems.
One starting point: The region's transportation system, which no longer works very well.
Business air travelers' frustration with flight delays, security hassles and poor service is palpable. Highway congestion is getting worse.
Travel times are maddeningly slow, wasteful and costly.
One solution: Jump-start the long-promised Midwest high-speed rail network, including the long-sought links between Milwaukee and Madison and through to Chicago and Minneapolis. This regional rail network would connect 10 major cities within a 400-mile radius of Chicago, along with the midsized cities in-between.
Modern, fast, comfortable, convenient trains operating at 100 mph to 125 mph can be time-competitive on a door-to-door basis. They can also pull together the regional economy and bolster the Midwest cities' business centers.
Because trains pollute less than cars and airplanes on a per-passenger-mile basis, rail development can help alleviate our global warming problems. And you can get productive work done while on a train.
In the absence of federal support, Wisconsin and other states have stepped up to support improved rail service. For example, Wisconsin's new Mitchell International Airport station has received rave reviews, and Milwaukee's new downtown train station should be a significant improvement.
Illinois appropriated funds this year to expand rail service between Chicago and Springfield, St. Louis, Champaign, Carbondale and Quincy, thereby breaking the ice for a next wave of upgraded rail service and capacity.
Michigan is continuing its partnership with Amtrak to increase speed and reduce travel times along the Detroit-Chicago corridor.
And Minnesota voters just amended the state constitution to funnel an extra $300 million a year into transportation projects.
As Mayor Richard Daley said in discussing Chicago's Olympics hopes: "You need better transportation to Milwaukee, you need better transportation to South Bend." Higher-speed rail is the only practical solution.
The region's congressional delegation rose to the challenge when the Bush administration tried last year to bankrupt Amtrak. Ridership in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan is growing at double-digit rates, and the state transportation departments have committed to build a regional high-speed rail network.
But there is too little coordination across state lines and too little funding. States can't do it alone.
That's not how high-speed rail is succeeding on the East Coast, where Acela Express ridership grew more than 8% over the past year, reaching almost 2.7 million passengers. A similar federal-state partnership is needed in the Midwest.
The public is clearly demanding that government do better.
With travelers' frustration growing, it's time for the Midwest's governors to get together with the powerful congressional delegation to drum up the necessary financial support for high-speed rail development linking the Midwest's cities.
Let's make the region's interstate transportation system work much better.

Bike path might pave new way along KK river
Coalition envisions redevelopment, revitalization
By GEORGIA PABST
gpabst@journalsentinel.com
The City of Milwaukee's commitment to build a 2.4-mile bike path along the Kinnickinnic River corridor next year has sparked an ambitious effort by a broad coalition to create a long-term plan for broader redevelopment and revitalization along the long-neglected south side river.
The city plans to build the trail, which would provide a link from the Bay View, Walker's Point and Lincoln Avenue Village areas to downtown, with a $2.4 million federal grant acquired through the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Program, said Jeff Polenski, city engineer.
Some of the money will be used to buy abandoned railroad right of way for the path, and some will be used to improve the Greenfield Ave. bridge and build a bridge at S. Chase and S. First streets to connect the path, he said. The path would begin at S. 6th St. and W. Rosedale Ave., head north along the river and ultimately proceed to E. Washington and S. Water streets.
The bike trail project has proved a catalyst for consideration of other improvements along the Kinnickinnic River corridor, Polenski said.
The Kinnickinnic River runs for eight miles and is part of the 26-square-mile Kinnickinnic watershed, which includes all of the city of St. Francis and parts of Milwaukee, Cudahy, Greenfield, West Allis and West Milwaukee.
One of three rivers in Milwaukee, "the KK" has been viewed as a liability and not an amenity, according to assessments made by Friends of Milwaukee's Rivers and others. To address flooding issues in the densely urban area, much of the river was lined with concrete 35 years ago and few saw potential for rejuvenation.
"Because of the degraded environmental conditions of the river, there has been little support for protecting and restoring the environmental quality of the river itself," said Ben Gramling of the Sixteenth Street Community Health Center.
The center, which is spearheading the new planning efforts for the KK, undertook a similar process for remediation and redevelopment in the Menomonee Valley in the 1990s.
"The city can now see results of what's happening in the Menomonee Valley because of the work that began 10 to 12 years ago and because of the strong partnership between the city, the Sixteenth Street Health Center and others," said Mayor Tom Barrett at a meeting on the KK project.
"The future of the city depends on the quality of life and on taking advantage of the great natural assets we have - some that have been neglected and fallen into disrepair over time," he told about 65 people. "There's great potential here for plans that can be turned into action," he added.
By remediating some of the environmental conditions along the river, open spaces could be developed along with recreational amenities along the river's corridor, Gramling said. That could bring improvements to the diverse urban neighborhoods in the area, along with new investments by the private sector, he added.
So in addition to city officials, such as the city engineer, and officials from the Department of City Development, the state Department of Natural Resources, the National Parks Service, Community Design Solutions at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, community groups, residents and others were brought together to discuss and dream about what could link the new bike path with its neighboring communities.
This month, more than 100 people from various disciplines, organizations and interests met in small groups and focused on six areas along the path.
They envisioned "creative and practical" amenities that might work within a half-mile or 20-minute walk from the trail, said Ray Isaacs of the UWM School of Architecture and Urban Planning. The groups outlined possibilities, from community gardens to recreational, educational and ecology centers, a coffee shop, soccer field and public art.
The sewerage district has also recently approved $400,000 to study the feasibility of removing the concrete along a two-mile stretch of the KK from S. 6th to S. 27th streets, Gramling said.
"It will all take time and resources moving forward," Gramling said. But he and others believe that with planning, education and outreach to all segments of the community, there's "the potential that the river can become a river once again" and a resource for all.

New route for Milwaukee region commuter rail
Proposal requires more money, more trains and Kenosha terminus
By LARRY SANDLER
lsandler@journalsentinel.com
As soon as next month, regional leaders could start discussing whether to get aboard a $237 million plan to link Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and the southern suburbs with commuter trains.
Rail backers are touting the plan's expected economic benefits, while the new Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Transit Authority is wrestling with how to pay for the service.
If the effort succeeds, it would bring back a mode of transportation that disappeared from Milwaukee about 40 years ago. Commuter rail lines run on existing freight tracks, connecting a major city and its suburbs. They're designed for local trips, unlike intercity Amtrak trains such as the Milwaukee-to-Chicago Hiawatha line.
In its latest form, the Kenosha-Racine-Milwaukee commuter rail line, or KRM Commuter Link, would offer more frequent service and more stops - but at a higher cost - than the version that emerged from a previous study in 2003. Passengers would have to change trains to continue into Illinois.
The project's steering committee is recommending KRM trains run 14 round trips each weekday, and seven on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. With the aid of connecting buses and shuttles, workers could ride trains to and from their jobs, while others could use trains to reach colleges, shops, entertainment and festivals.
Trains would stop at downtown Milwaukee's Amtrak station; new stations on the south side (probably Bay View), Cudahy, South Milwaukee, Oak Creek, Caledonia and the Town of Somers; Racine's renovated train station; and Kenosha's Metra commuter train station. Some trains could continue to Waukegan, Ill.
Shuttle buses would run from the downtown Milwaukee station to other downtown destinations; from the Cudahy station to Mitchell International Airport; and from the Somers station to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Fares would be similar to Chicago's Metra trains, at less than $10 one-way between Milwaukee and Kenosha.
Separate from Metra
For years, the proposed rail line has been described as a Metra extension. But the new version would be a separate system connecting with Metra at Kenosha or Waukegan.
Metra, an Illinois governmental agency, has said it could not provide service to another state. The Union Pacific railroad pays for service between the state line and Kenosha because that is less expensive than building a new facility for trains to turn around at the border. And the South Shore line, from Chicago to South Bend, Ind., is largely funded by Indiana taxpayers and run as a separate system, in coordination with Metra.
Wisconsin planners also found the KRM line would have more flexibility if it wasn't directly tied to Metra, said Fred Patrie, chairman of the KRM steering committee.
The 2003 study called for a $152 million line with seven round trips on weekdays and three on weekends and holidays. Patrie said closer study found a 14-train schedule would be more cost-effective, drawing 1.43 million rides a year. The price tag rose because of the increased service, inflation and the need to build a rail yard and shops instead of using Metra facilities, said Ken Yunker, deputy director of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.
Also, the 2003 study didn't include the Bay View stop, which was pushed by Milwaukee city officials and neighbors.
If authorities move quickly enough, service could start by 2010, providing an alternative to driving on I-94 when freeway reconstruction moves into high gear between Milwaukee and the state line, Patrie said.
Consultants also found that the rail line would spur development near stations; provide better access to jobs, colleges, cultural events and Mitchell International Airport; and help reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and urban sprawl, Yunker said.
But officials still don't know how they'd pay for the service. At a regional transit authority meeting Monday, Yunker suggested the federal government could pick up as much as 90% of the capital cost. Kenosha Transit chief Len Brandrup, an authority member, called that estimate unrealistic. Congress has authorized $80 million for the line to date.
Operating costs would run $14.7 million a year, with fares covering $3.8 million. The Virchow Krause & Co. consulting firm is studying nearly 20 options to pick up the remaining $10.9 million, ranging from sales, gas and property taxes to tax-incremental financing districts that would use tax growth from rising property values near stations.
Brandrup said new property taxes would be "dead on arrival." Milwaukee County public works chief George Torres, another authority member, and state Rep. Jeff Stone (R-Greendale) said they were intrigued by the tax-district idea. Brandrup said it would take years for property values to grow enough to produce a revenue stream.
It will be up to the regional transit authority to push the process forward for federal approval and to recommend how to finance it. New or increased taxes would need the approval of the state Legislature or local governments. Public hearings are expected in late December or early January.
Before that happens, the idea will be discussed by the Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha mayors and county executives. Leaders of the Milwaukee 7 regional development group will discuss it Wednesday.

Reasons to be Thankful
Terrence Berres' blog, The Provincial Emails, links here in the context of "those who say Franklin epitomizes the faults of suburbia."
I hope I'm being clear in my analysis of Franklin's planning and growth struggles that my issues are with the idiosyncrasies involved in attempting to create a real community - - physical and otherwise - - and not the people here. In fact, my family plans to move in the near future, and we're relocating within Franklin precisely because the schools and people here are wonderful.
Terrence raises a good point, though. I'll have to be sure to post items about the many positive aspects of Franklin alongside the usual suburban frustrations. For people who live here, there is much to be thankful for and potentially much to look forward to (two dangling prepositions for the price of one).
And the Franklin High School football team - - undefeated all season - - won the state championship in overtime!

Letter to the editor: Fees cover the costs driving imposes on society
Governor Doyle has proposed a substantial increase in license fees (following the repeal of automatic gas tax hikes). The move prompted this letter to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that gets to the heart of the matter:
In the stir about increased license fees, cited in the article "DOT seeks 46% boost in car fee," an important issue was left out.
License fees are not just a payment for the privilege to drive. They are also a user fee for the costs that driving imposes on society. Different kinds of vehicles impose greater costs on other taxpayers when they drive. Heavier and less fuel-efficient cars spew more pollution into the air and put greater wear and tear on the roads.
State license fees typically vary by vehicle type or class of license issued. Why not vary vehicle fees by fuel mileage? Wisconsin could easily create such a program. The fuel-mileage data for each car type is already kept by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Wisconsin drivers shouldn't pay more than they have to, but they should pay in proportion to the costs they create.

Remade City Centers Find Mass Appeal
From The Washington Post. Excellent interactive map here:
By Kim Hart
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 13, 2006; D01
The old town, it seems, is the new thing. Clarendon is one of hundreds of so-called urban villages around the country that combine residential, retail and office space in a compact area, harking back to a time when city centers were thriving economic engines. As demand for the urban village rises, developers and retailers are flocking to cash in on its mass-market appeal.
The number of mixed-use projects of 15 acres or more has been increasing by about 28 percent a year since 1996, according to New Urban News. In 2004, the most recent figure available, 650 projects at various stages of completion existed throughout the country.
Businesses in urban villages generate more revenue than those in traditional shopping centers and strip malls, planners say. Shoppers spend $84 an hour in an urban village's street-side stores; in a typical enclosed mall, they spend $57.50 an hour, according to the Urban Land Institute. Some large retailers bring in almost 20 percent more revenue per square foot in a village setting.
"Retailers know the power of the place-making dividend. People stay longer, come back more often and spend more money in places that attract their affection," said Ed McMahon, a senior fellow at the Urban Land Institute. "No one wants to go to a strip mall to hang out."
Instead, people amble along pedestrian-friendly streets in places like Bethesda, Takoma Park and Silver Spring. Downtown Alexandria and Annapolis epitomize the model, experts say, weaving together the threads of an old-fashioned main street in a modern setting.
Urban villages attract a desirable set of demographics -- young professionals in dual-income households as well as empty-nesters and retirees, often with disposable income.
"What's really driving it is profit," said John Norquist, president of the Congress for the New Urbanism. "Everybody's trying to recreate the urban form because that's what the consumer wants."
The model is not new -- it's a return to a centuries-old pattern of people settling in clusters where they live, work and socialize. But the postwar baby boom and the automobile culture created the suburban phenomenon of the 1950s, in which shopping centers and residential neighborhoods were geographically separate. As sprawl and traffic congestion mounted, planners criticized suburbs as soulless. In rebellion, new urbanism surfaced in the last quarter of the 20th century, trying to recreate walkable, mixed-use communities.
Some such communities evolve naturally. Some are built from scratch by developers and planners. Some, like Clarendon, are a combination of both.
Many urban villages take 20 years to create. Changing zoning codes and assembling property is expensive and time consuming, often requiring the involvement of local government. Arlington County began planning villages around the five Metro stops in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor in 1984, placing it ahead of the curve.
The existing number of urban villages "serves only a very tiny portion of the region's total need," said Christian Nelson, Director of Urban Affairs and Planning at Virginia Tech's Northern Virginia center.
He estimates that the demand for this type of development is five to 10 times higher than the current supply.
To keep a neighborhood from turning into a shopping mall -- or a carbon copy of another town -- experts say developers should concentrate on retaining local character.
"The historical and social fabric has to be retained in the place to keep it from becoming another Ballston or Bethesda," Nelson said. "Use the market revenue to sustain a piece of that memory."

Village concept a hit
News from Virginia:
BY SABINE C. HIRSCHAUER
NEWPORT NEWS -- A local developer wants to turn about 190 acres of woods along the Newport News-York County line into a village-style neighborhood that includes shops and anywhere between 1,000 and 3,000 houses, town houses, condominiums and apartments.
News of the development, called Huntington Pointe, comes at a time when residents in the northernmost section of Newport News await construction of Asheton, an upscale, 1,685-house neighborhood in Lee Hall.
Some who have seen the plans for Huntington Pointe have likened it to Port Warwick in the Oyster Point section of Newport News, but the developer disagrees.
Before Huntington Pointe becomes a reality, though, a number of things have to happen:
The developer, McCale Development Corp. of Newport News, needs to buy about 74 acres in York County along Richneck Road for at least $1.23 million.
The land, owned by Newport News Waterworks, is considered surplus because it does not drain into the city's reservoirs. In exchange, the utility wants 12 acres from McCale on Baptist Road in York County - land that drains into a reservoir.
York County and Newport News need to adjust their boundaries so that the development would be only in Newport News. That would make it easier to build a road that would connect Denbigh and Fort Eustis boulevards and would dissect Huntington Pointe.
And it would make sense for York County because the children who would live there would attend Newport News schools, said Mark Carter, York's assistant county administrator.
The City Council has scheduled a public hearing on the swap for Nov. 28.
Newport News must rezone the land to allow for the development.
If all of that happens, construction of roads, sewer and water lines could start in 2008.
"There are a lot of pieces to the puzzle," said Jonathan W. Hartley with Brandon Currence Architect, McCale's consultant on the project.
Huntington Pointe follows a design concept called new urbanism, which has become more popular as cities and counties try to rein in urban sprawl and create neighborhoods that look more like old-style villages with shops and town squares.
Port Warwick is an example of new urbanism in Newport News, but Hartley said Huntington Pointe would be very different from Port Warwick.
"The concept is not to reproduce Port Warwick," he said.
Huntington Pointe would offer more houses and focus on a more diverse and larger mix of home styles, and it would include housing that more middle class residents can afford, said Brandon Currence, a McCale consultant, who was the architect behind Port Warwick.
"We're talking about homes that teachers, firefighters and police officers can afford," Currence said.
So far, price ranges for the houses have not been set.
Huntington Pointe has support on the Newport News City Council.
"It will be a nice project," Newport News Mayor Joe S. Frank said. "It will be very attractive and well-received by the public."
Sharon Scott, one of two City Council members who represents north Newport News, said she supports the project primarily because it offers affordable housing.
"We need the market of housing (that the developer) proposes," she said.
The developer has agreed to spend about $5 million to build the road that would run through Huntington Pointe. Newport News and York officials have wanted the road for years to ease traffic congestion.
"It creates a parallel to Jefferson Avenue, which is long needed," said Neil Morgan, an assistant city manager in Newport News.
"It gives you an alternative route and decreases cut-through traffic between Jefferson Avenue and Denbigh Boulevard."
What's more, the road would offer stores in Huntington Pointe a lot of exposure, Currence said.

Editorial: Questions in Oconomowoc
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Oconomowoc Mayor Maury Sullivan is exactly right. The city should be asking questions about what kind of retailers will be going into the Pabst Farms development just north of I-94 and east of Highway 67. No community should ever give carte blanche to any developer. The size and type of stores help set the tone for a development and become a part of the culture of a community.
So the mayor was on target when he said recently he had questions about what kind of big-box developments developers envision for a 50-acre addition to the previously announced 110-acre Pabst Farms Town Center. Representatives of developer General Growth Properties Inc. unveiled plans for the addition at a meeting of the Plan Commission, chaired by Sullivan.
What should not be in doubt is the advantage to the city and the surrounding communities that will come with the development of the town center and the interest of retailers in placing stores there. Right now, the semi-developed Pabst Farms has a lonely feel. There are lovely homes surrounded by lovely fields and a preserved wetland. There's a great new YMCA. And there's a shopping center with nice new stores.
It's just doesn't seem very busy - at least not yet. Stand at one end and you get the feeling you'll hear an echo if you shout toward the other.
But all that is changing, and the change will bring increased economic activity, new jobs and more families to the area. Done right, Pabst Farms could become an engine of economic development in the region.
"Retailers want to be here. It's going to be a retail node for the region," said Louis Bucksbaum, senior vice president of General Growth Properties. That's exciting news, especially at a time when other businesses are talking about leaving Wisconsin.
Granted, the stores at Pabst Farms won't be the next incarnation of Silicon Valley. But they will provide jobs and another reason to travel to western Waukesha County - and perhaps they'll help attract families to live there. That in turn, can help attract new employers who are looking for a quality work force.
No, Pabst Farms isn't a magic wand. But it could be a useful tool.
Of course, tools change things. And the Oconomowoc area, including the nearby Town of Summit, will change as a result of Pabst Farms. It may not be the quaint community it once was. And not everyone will like that.
Which is why officials such as Sullivan are right to be on their guard against changes that would do serious harm to the identity of Oconomowoc, one of the loveliest communities in southeastern Wisconsin.
The trick will be to manage that change in a way that retains what has always been best about the area. But it would be a mistake to stand in the way of change - and of the economic progress it can bring.

The first film, "Zapatista," of the 25 you [The Ecologist] listed in your excellent December/January 2006 issue, woke me up in two ways. As I was walking the streets of Seattle during the WTO ministerial event in November of 1999, I saw many posters taped to buildings advertising a film screening of "Zapatista." I had read much about Zapatistas but really wanted to see them, or at least see a film about them. After an hour-long wait to get into the basement of a darkened, smelly bar we finally managed to get inside. This was not a typical film theater or art house. Crowded tightly and starring at a white sheet taped to a wall with a blue light streaming from some obscure techno gadgetry, we were eager to see what it was all about. One of the 3 young filmmakers started to introduce the film: Three young guys from the US had purchased the necessary video cameras on credit cards and gone south to interview Subcommandante Marcos in the mountains of Chiapas. Marcos is the collectively-decided spokesperson for the Zapatistas, a very popular movement of indigenous people, made more popular because of their knowledge of using the Internet in the early years, right after NAFTA was issued into power.
The film came alive on the white sheet. A "video projector" was doing the work along with a sound system and video player. Not only did I wake up to the problems of the indigenous people but learned how the Zapatistas were creating a provocative blend of performance art plus political action to make people aware of NAFTA and other globalization crimes and the neo-liberal ideology of free trade (which is just another word for imperialism: raping the resources and exploiting the people) so prevalent in our global solution think tanks in the US.
I also woke up on that day to the revolutionary capabilities of the video projector showing politically astute and progressive radical films to communities throughout the country. I immediately purchased a number of copies and asked the filmmakers about screening the film in my hometown. That was the beginning.
We had a packed audience some months later to see "Zapatista" and to have the filmmakers answer eager questions from the audience. This latter wake-up call started us on the process of obtaining other documentaries for showing to the public.
We purchased "Culture Jam" before its filmmakers signed their rights away to a distributor, which allowed me to screen the film. That film blew me away. Not only did I first learn about the incredible, outrageous antics of Reverend Billy but saw the Billboard Liberation Front actually doctor those huge billboards in Silicon Valley in the middle of the night. We have shown that film numerous times, inspiring people when they learn about these brave people cultur- jamming and adbusting. When I saw "The End of Suburbia," I was shocked to my core. This film is still reverberating throughout my body and psyche. To know (as much as it is possible to know) that our lives, our civilization, our behavior, our life styles have been predicated on cheap, limited oil has been a major wake-up call. We bought boxes of the DVD and sold every single one of them. We screened the film in four different cities to audiences who always left in shock, a good kind of disturbance, a waking-up.
One thing I have done is to learn how to facilitate a discussion after each film we show — to gather people's responses and to have them speak about their projects in our communities. It is definitely not enough to screen a film and have them walk away in a stupor. We need to talk, to share, to cry, to scream, to do whatever it takes to embody the message of the film. And what better way to do it than with a group of people who have just seen the film. Also, from time to time, we have had the filmmakers come to the screenings or to have some expert on a particular subject speak after the film or answer questions. It makes the connections and the dialogue all the more pertinent and powerful.
Out of your 25 films listed, we have screened 17.
"Life and Debt" blew me out of the water when I first saw it on POV on PBS two years prior to its DVD appearance. It is the most powerful film about globalization, especially in its contrast of Jamaica as a resort place and Jamaica as a country to be raped by various global trade organizations.
"McLibel" blew many of us away because we did not know there was a trial happening in England by some green peace activists who had the balls to actually take McDonalds to court against their labor practices and a plethora of other social and environmental injustices. We were shocked — and thrilled — when the decision came down primarily in favor of the two heroes who had taken them to court.
"Blue Vinyl" is both hot and funny, definitely a wake-up call for us who are ignorant of the various supplies that go into building our precious homes. A chemically sensitive woman told me about the film years ago, and because of her personal sensitivity to vinyl as a toxic substance, she gave the audience (after the screening) an added jolt to their already shakened response.
"The Take" was powerful and expensive (the film distributors made it almost impossible to screen the film; they charge way too much and their antiquated notion of film screening does not include the new breed of community activists who use film as an organizing tool.) We took the chance and lost money. More activists need to negotiate seriously with certain political film distributors. More of this is in my book (see below). With all the hype about the film, it had some serious flaws. It focused ONLY on the workers in Argentina taking over the factories. Yes, that's a great idea and to see it implemented was in fact fantastic! But a much broader film, and more accessible, is the film called "Argentina: Hope in Hard Times" that not only and simply and elegantly illustrates the workers taking over the factories but includes farmers, food, community, re-cycling the waste, starting up businesses and much more. Go to bullfrog films for more details about that film and how to order it ("The Take" just recently became available in the U.S. After two years! Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein: What were you thinking??!!)
"Affluenza" is another major film that can be shown time and again especially around the overconsumption maddening holidays. But a much better film is the sequel "Escape From Affluenza," especially for those who already know what the problems are and want to do something about it — and who have a desire to find out alternatives to break out of the affluenza disease. The same type of film is in the makings called "Escape From Suburbia," a sequel to "The End of Suburbia." Stay tuned in August of 2006.
One film you didn't include is Robert Greenwald's film, "Wal-Mart." It will blow you away. We screened that film in four cities to 700 people, all in a week's time. We were even instrumental in having a city council decide against changing their laws which would have accommodated another Wal-Mart store to come into town, even though there was already a Wal-mart store in their town.
Thank you, The Ecologist, for putting these films together and for publishing the blurbs. We have 80% of your initial 25 films, plus 400 more in our Film Library that we rent out to people in the US. They are not only catalogued on-line but are shelved at a cool local bookstore where people can "rent" them and awaken to some powerful realities out there that get violently swept under the veils by corporate America. Check out our website at http://www.hopedance.org/new/videos.html to learn of the films and their summaries and check out what films we are going to be showing in our central coast cities.
It is not enough to simply be "privately" awakened by any of these films. To sit there being awakened without changing anything or doing anything is impotent. What we do is SCREEN the films publicly, talk about it right afterwards, and encourage people to go to their favorite cafe and keep the discussion going, meet up with other people with similar projects and strengthen the progressive element in small cities throughout the country, and the world.

Barclays Steers Ultra-Rich Clients Toward New ESG Entrepreneurs
ESG News Investing Technology
Wealthy increasingly looking beyond wind, solar and EVs
Energy storage technologies among areas drawing interest
High net-worth clients at Barclays Plc are being steered toward sustainable investment products that tap into a new class of ESG entrepreneur.
Wind, solar and electric vehicles aren't enough to generate the kinds of returns that Barclays private bank wants to offer its environmental, social and governance investment clients. Instead, "it's the second order of ideas that are of interest," said Damian Payiatakis, who leads a team advising individuals, families and charities, as well as private and public market specialists on ethical and sustainable investing.
In practice, that means tapping the "new entrepreneurs seeking to use different techniques" to address climate change and social issues, he said in an interview.
The strategy, which targets technologies that support things like energy storage and food waste reduction, comes as some analyses suggest these corners of ESG might outperform more traditional areas. That's as the S&P Global Clean Energy Index has lost about 12% this year. Meanwhile, Bloomberg Intelligence says the "underinvested global water sector" is poised for "robust" investment.
Looking to ESG entrepreneurs is an idea that's already been touted by some of the world's best-known investors. Larry Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock Inc., predicted in his annual letter that the next 1,000 unicorns will be "sustainable, scalable innovators – startups that help the world decarbonize."
Barclays' strategy involves finding "a large social or environmental problem that has a commercial solution," and if there are "new approaches being launched, let's find the ventures that have them," Payiatakis said. He says that often entails catching businesses in their infancy, when private capital is more accessible than public markets.
Areas that look underinvested include technologies harnessing the potential of the planet's oceans and managing its ecosystems, Payiatakis said. Barclays is also looking at sustainable fishing and supply-chain data-tracking services that can expose a company's reliance on forced labor, for example. And satellite monitoring of agricultural production is another target, given that change of land use is "one of the bigger contributors to climate change."
"Investors can look to identify the essential parts with a supply chain or value-chain needed for the wider system," Payiatakis said. "They may not be as immediately visible, or even as exciting, but the ability to generate financial value and impact is disproportionate."

Recent Changes Pave the Way for Explosive Growth
Today's CBD boom has been decades in the making. Scientists have known for years about the miraculous effects that patients have reported when using CBD to fight some of the toughest types of pain and discomfort. But there have been a few major stumbling blocks to universal acceptance, including: ● Legal hurdles: This was a case where the slow-moving wheels of government bureaucracy were not able to keep up with the explosive speed of a capitalist marketplace. It has just been in the past few years that the FDA and the federal government have properly addressed CBD, which has paved the way for it to be legally grown, categorized, transported and sold. ● Social stigma: The average person used to conflate CBD with marijuana, which is an unfair and inaccurate comparison -- CBD lacks the psychotropic effects of THC, the primary active cannabinoid of marijuana. That means that CBD will not make you feel high the same way marijuana will. This common misconception has only recently begun to be eliminated.
An Innovator in a Crowded Category
Savvy investors everywhere are looking to get involved in the once-in-a-lifetime growth opportunity of CBD. Your choices are countless. The field is vast. But Coastal CBD stands head and shoulders above the competition. What makes Coastal CBD different? ● Science-Based Solutions: Coastal has revolutionized the CBD industry with its innovative CBD DNA test, created in partnership with EndoCanna Health. The test is the only measure on the market to correctly gauge your current CBD levels, how much and when you should supplement your body with CBD and how taking CBD -- or any cannabis product -- can interact with medications you may already be taking. ● Ultra-premium ingredients: Coastal uses only the purest CBD from the finest sources to manufacture high-quality, luxurious CBD products in the health, wellness, beauty, pet and food & drink categories. ● Industry-leading purity and quality: We make or source our CBD products with Full Spectrum CBD oil. Our hemp is 2018 Farm Bill compliant, and our products are organic and proudly Made in the U.S.A. Customers appreciate our commitment to quality. Our products are highly effective and feel premium -- which drives sales, grass-roots marketing and positive word-of-mouth. Take the Coastal Path to Wellness.
Proven Leadership in a Field That's Primed for Incredible Expansion
In a demanding industry with stiff competition, leadership matters. For a CBD company to survive and prevail in the marketplace, it needs a "dream team" of incredible executives who combine expertise in commercial, medical and scientific fields. Coastal's management represents the best in proven results plus innovative attitudes to pave the way for dominance in the category.

Can you get pregnant 5 days before your period and still have your period?
Is it possible to get pregnant just a few days before my period starts?
If you have unprotected sex during period and have ovulation just a couple of days afterwards due to irregular cycle, you can get pregnant.
Remember — sperm can live in your body for up to 5 days, so you can get pregnant if you had sex the day before your period and still had a normal period or spotting.
Fertility Advice for Women: Dr. Sanjay Agarwal
Previous QuestionHow many days late can a period be before worrying?
Next QuestionDo you feel implantation?
Can you have a full period and still be pregnant?
Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a "normal" period. If you are bleeding enough to fill pads and tampons, then this would be a good indication that you are probably not pregnant. Learn more about getting pregnant while on your period.
Can you get a full period and still be pregnant?
Can I be pregnant and still have a period? Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a "normal" period. If you are bleeding enough to fill pads and tampons, then this would be a good indication that you are probably not pregnant.
Can I get pregnant 5 days after my period?
Yes, you can get pregnant right after your period. You are actually starting to move into your fertility window. On a typical cycle that occurs every 28 to 30 days, the fertility window is usually between Day 11 and Day 21. As noted above sperm can live 2, 3 and up to 5 days.
Fertilization (Conception)
Can you have a period for 3 days and still be pregnant?
The likelihood of getting pregnant right before your period is extremely low. For women who have a typical cycle of 28 to 30 days or longer and their cycles are regular, it is fairly safe to say that your ovulation occurred between Day 11 and Day 21. The egg is only available for 12 to 24 hours for conception.
Can you have clots in your period and still be pregnant?
When preparing for pregnancy, for instance, you should monitor your menstrual flow very closely, in particular, to see if there are clots. Clots can be the norm during the first days of heavy bleeding (usually days 1–2 of menstruation, but not every cycle).
Can I get pregnant 2 days before my period?
Can I get pregnant 10 days before my period?
Ovulation usually happens about 10 to 16 days before the start of your next period, so it helps to know your cycle length before you start trying to conceive.
Calculating ovulation. However, their fertile window began a few days before ovulation because sperm can survive for up to 5 days inside the female body. So, even if a woman does not have sex on day 14 or 15, it is still possible to become pregnant if they had unprotected sex on days 9 to 13.
How many days after your period can you get pregnant?
You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.
Can you get your period and still be pregnant in the first month?
Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a "normal" period. Some women can confuse this for their period because often it can come right around the time she was expecting her normal period. Learn more about getting pregnant while on your period.
Can you get pregnant 8 days after your period?
You could have sexual intercourse towards the end of your monthly cycle and then get pregnant four or five days later with your early ovulation. Most females do not ovulate on day 14. But if you ovulate on day 8 of your cycle, your fertile window begins on day 3 — right in the middle of your monthly period.
How many days after period can you not get pregnant?
Can you have a full period and be pregnant?
No. You can't have your menstrual period while you're pregnant. Some women do have vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. Menstruation only happens when you're not pregnant: Each month, your uterus grows a thick blood-rich lining in preparation for an egg to embed there.
Ovulation - Nucleus Health
Can you have period symptoms and be pregnant?
As a result, some women have difficulty determining if they are pregnant or if their period is about to start. Symptoms of both premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and pregnancy can vary from person to person, but they often include tenderness in the breasts, cramping, and changes in mood.
Can you get pregnant 3 days after your period with Precum?
You can get pregnant from precum even when you are not ovulating. How? Sperm stays in a woman's reproductive tract for 5 to 7 days. So if it remains there before ovulation, there are chances that it may still be alive when you start ovulating.
Can I be pregnant and still have a heavy period with clots?
Bleeding from later miscarriage will contain fetal tissue, and blood clots will likely be larger than during normal menstrual periods. If you're nervous that you might be pregnant and want to know if your bleeding is a miscarriage or a normal period, you should take a pregnancy test or visit your healthcare provider.
Has anyone gotten their period and still been pregnant?
No. Since your period stops after your body starts producing hCG — also known as the pregnancy hormone — it isn't possible to experience a true period during pregnancy. During the early stages of pregnancy, however, some women experience spotting or light bleeding — and it's usually normal.
Can a dog get pregnant before her first period?
A dog can't get pregnant before going into heat for the first time. "Heat" is when she's ovulating. But it is bad for a dog to get pregnant at a young age, because her body isn't fully developed yet. A dog can first become pregnant during her first estrus cycle ("heat"), but not before then.

Can I get pregnant 5 days after ovulation?
Pregnancy After Ovulation. Getting pregnant after ovulation is possible, but is limited to the 12-24 hours after your egg has been released. Cervical mucus helps sperm live up to 5 days in a woman's body, and it takes around 6 hours for active sperm to reach the fallopian tubes.
Can I get pregnant 18 days after my period?
For a woman with a shorter menstrual cycle (for example, 23 days) having unprotected sex during her period could put her at risk of pregnancy. "Sperm can hang around for seven days, and she might ovulate very soon after her period has finished." Some women use natural family planning to plan or avoid pregnancy.
It's possible. A woman is most likely to get pregnant if she has unprotected sex anytime during the six days that end in ovulation, when her body releases an egg. This is because sperm can live in your body for up to six days. Women ovulate between 14 and 16 days before their period begins.
Can I be pregnant if I got my period 5 days late?
I'm 5 days late for my period. If you take a pregnancy test after your period is late and get a negative result, you're unlikely to be pregnant. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate — about 99 percent — but a false negative is still possible. Try taking another pregnancy test in a few days.
Can you have your period and get a positive pregnancy test?
It could be that you're not reading the test correctly, or that you're not really having a period. A urine pregnancy test looks for a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) that is found in the urine during pregnancy. Having your period during the test should not interfere with the accuracy of these results.
Can you have heavy bleeding and blood clots and still be pregnant?
Bleeding in pregnancy may be light or heavy, dark or bright red. You may pass clots or "stringy bits". You may have more of a discharge than bleeding. So if you have bleeding or spotting, you may still go on to have a healthy pregnancy.
Which day after period is best to get pregnant?
The best time to get pregnant. You're most likely to get pregnant if you have sex within a day or so of ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary). This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long. An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after being released.
Can you miss a period and not be pregnant?

Q: Problemas usando React Context Estive estudando React e desenvolvendo um app, mas tenho um problema quando tento usar context. Em um componente, eu crio o contexto e forneço seu valor, mas quando tento usar o valor atual do contexto em outro componente, tenho o valor padrão. Código:

export const OwnerInformationContext = React.createContext({})

function NameChoose() {

   ...
   const [ownerInformation,setOwnerInformation] = useState({})

    function onpressSubmitButton(e : FormEvent) {
        e.preventDefault();
        ...
        setOwnerInformation({name:'name',roomId:'id',owner:'true'})
    }

    return(

            <OwnerInformationContext.Provider value={ownerInformation} />
            ...
                <form onSubmit={onpressSubmitButton}>
                    ...
                </form>
            ...
    );
}

export default NameChoose;

-> No componente acima, o defino e no abaixo tento usá-lo:

import { OwnerInformationContext } from '../NameChoose/index'

    function ComponentTwo(){

    const consumeOwnerContext = useContext(OwnerInformationContext)

    useEffect(() => {
                console.log(consumeOwnerContext)
        }, [])

    return
test

    }

Porém, só consigo ter acesso ao valor padrão, que é {}

A: O seu código está totalmente errado, porque, quando se cria um React.Context significa que deseja que vários componentes compartilhe do mesmo estado, da mesma funções, etc. Para que isso funcione, é criado um Contexto e um Provedor que envolve todos os componentes que precisam utilizar o mesmo código, exemplo mínimo:

const CounterContext = React.createContext();
const CounterProvider = ({children}) => {
  const [counter, setCounter] =
    React.useState(0);
  return (
    <CounterContext.Provider value={{counter, setCounter}}>
      {children}
    </CounterContext.Provider>
  )
}

const View1 = () => {
  const context = React.useContext(CounterContext);
  return (

{context.counter}

  )
}

const View2 = () => {
  const context = React.useContext(CounterContext);
  const handleIncrement = ()
    => context.setCounter(state => state + 1);
  const handleDecrement = ()
    => context.setCounter(state => state - 1);
  return (

      <button onClick={handleIncrement}>Incrementar</button>
      <button onClick={handleDecrement}>Decrementar</button>

  )
}
const View3 = () => {
  const context = React.useContext(CounterContext);
  return (

{context.counter}

  )
}
const Root = () => {
  return (
    <CounterProvider>
      <View1 />
      <View2 />
      <View3 />
    </CounterProvider>
  )
}

ReactDOM.render( <Root/> , document.getElementById('root'));

Carregando ...

Foi criado um código de um simples contador e uma função para mudar o valor desse contador, 3 componentes View que compartilham do mesmo estado porque estão envolvidos pelo Provider criado.
Referencias:

*

*React.Context

*React.Provider
Observação: além da sua montagem está errada, o seu código está muito mau organizado, isso são fatores importantes mesmo que você seja um iniciante, então preste atenção de não criar um código de formulário por exemplo diretamente dentro do Provider, não é usual e no seu código causou muitos problemas.

Honourable Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi has banned all existing Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes with an intention of removing the root of black money in India. Majority of the nation is happy with this move and the middle class (Majority of Population) will vote for Narendra Modi for the next 100 years. We compiled a list of top 10 disadvantages of banning Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.
Tax payers' existing money is being used to print new money.
Definitely this is a good movement but there are cons too. These points are based out of my experience. This article is not written to criticize the exiting government or the new move by PM.
These are not the disadvantages at all but the pain and sacrifice. And good things never happen without these two.
And have some guts to be on one side, either criticise it or support it. Don't say that there is no intention to criticise something after writing a brief criticising article.


The layout and design of the comic page is a crucial stage of the development process. Its the roadmap to outline your story. In comics, the panel arrangement, shape, and positions in relation to each other must be composed in a way that is intuitive and obvious. The Comic Draw app has some cool features that make this step in the creation process fun.
Working small is the fastest way to quickly figure out the layout of your pages. Using templates helps streamline this process. Drawing at this scale helps you decide which compositions work well and you can try out several drafts before committing. The above image is sample template. You can download your free copy of this template to print and practice on.
Unless drawing straight from your mind, you will be working from a script. The Comic Draw app has a cool feature that lets you work on your script and art at the same time. The writing and drawing modes are interactive. You can actually move lettering elements from the script onto your comic pages such as titles, sound effects, captions, speech bubbles and even panels that you can use as place holders for your drafts.
As you look over your script think about how to depict the story. Ask yourself, "What is the clearest and most interesting way that I can show what is happening in the story?" You can only depict one action per panel and the reader must be able to understand what's happening in every panel all the way to the end.
When deciding where to place captions and speech bubbles make sure important visual story information is not covered up. Arranging all of these elements is a delicate balancing act. Setting all of the non-negotiable elements of the panel before getting too into the drawing saves a lot of frustration down the road. Trust!
After you layout the panels and place the lettering elements within those panels, you have an outline to help flesh out the artwork. Building this blueprint as a foundation for the upcoming drawing helps the workflow go smoothly. You do not want to get too invested in a drawing that you can't use while trying to beat deadline goals.
I hope these tips help you become a better sequential artist. Coupled with the Comic Draw app and this template my productivity has gone up as well and hope it does the same for you. I welcome any and all feedback. Thank you for your time.
