Each of my sales colleagues use different techniques when forming business contact. Some heavily rely on formal networking groups, some form their own informal network associations, and others are more proactive.
One of my sales colleagues creating his own networking group. 'I solicited different trade people along with other professionals whose services I had used or was using and told them that I was forming a group of 'Proven Professionals' looking to see if they would be interested in participating,' he told me. 'I said that they needed to provide me with 200 business cards and share in the expense ($50.00) of getting this off the ground. They would also need to provide stellar service at an affordable price to anyone who contacted them. I then ordered 500 card caddies embossed with my name, company name and cell phone number.
When considering the benefits of group involvement, look beyond your immediate industry. My brother Alex, a highly successful Realtor, has found an effective way to expand his network by participating on the board of directors of several high-profile non- profit organizations. 'This gives me the opportunity to become an 'in-house' Realtor for that group and its members,' he noted. Find what works for you and expand from there.

Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. Business Information, Profile, and History
History of Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc.
Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. (KCSI) controls a number of operations in its transportation and financial services divisions. Kansas City Southern Railway (KCSR) is KCSI's primary subsidiary, operating direct transportation service over approximately 4,000 miles of track primarily in the central and southern United States. As of the late 1990s, KCSI derived a substantial portion of its revenues from its fund management subsidiaries Janus Capital Corporation and Berger Associates, Inc., which together had assets of approximately $70 billion. KCSI also held 41 percent of DST Systems Inc., which supplied the financial services industry with record-keeping and computer services.
Entrepreneurial Beginnings
KCSI was founded on January 8, 1887, by Arthur Edward Stilwell, a native New Yorker and grandson of one of the builders of the Erie Canal. Stilwell's original goal was to provide passenger service and transport for local meat-packing houses and granaries. An astute entrepreneur--he was able to secure initial funding for the railway in a matter of hours--he recognized that considerable opportunity existed in the transport of coal, lead, and zinc from southern mines. In just over six months, he raised $2.5 million and in 1891 extended the line southward to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Two years later, despite a severe nationwide depression in the railroad industry, Stilwell secured $3 million in backing from a commodities broker in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to extend the line directly south to the Gulf of Mexico, where goods could then be shipped to eastern markets by sea.
Stilwell's original intent was to extend the railroad to Shreveport, Louisiana, and use the tracks of other lines to continue the journey to the Gulf. Noting that coastal towns were periodically subject to violent hurricanes, Stilwell changed his mind and decided to route his lines to Lake Sabine, a well-protected body of water seven miles inland from the Gulf. He then built a port on the lake and dug a canal to connect it to the Gulf. Port Arthur, named after Stilwell, became the second largest grain port in the United States after New York City.
Stilwell left Kansas City Southern Railway Company in 1900, a year before oil was discovered in Beaumont, Texas. He was replaced by Leonore F. Loree, who made concerted but unsuccessful efforts in the late 1920s to merge the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, the St. Louis Southwestern Railroad, or Cotton Belt, and KCSR. Loree established KCSR's reputation as a well-run, professional business. His sound financial and operating philosophy helped the company weather the Great Depression of the 1930s, and in 1939 KCSR company purchased the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway, extending its territory through Baton Rouge to New Orleans, Louisiana, and westward to Dallas, Texas. KCSR's strength during the Depression led General Motors in 1939 to choose the railroad to test the first diesel-electric locomotive for passenger service in the United States.
Post-World War II Prosperity
A bitter battle ensued in 1944, when local businessmen wrested control of KCSR from East Coast investors, demanding the resignation of then Chairman Charles P. Couch. The nomination of William N. Deramus as president ushered in a new era for the company, during which it focused on developing business in existing territories that were experiencing a post-World War II industrial boom. By the early 1950s KCSR was one of the most profitable railroads in the country.
Building on a solid base of well-maintained railways, Deramus was instrumental in incorporating innovative technology to keep ahead of competition. He acquired surplus World War II radio equipment, helping KCSR become a pioneer in the use of microwave signals to control portions of the rail system from a centralized location. During the 1950s KCSI also became an innovator in developing computerized data processing systems to control the flow of paper work through the system, an expertise it later applied to providing computerized accounting systems for the railroad industry.
A profitable partnership between Deramus and his son William N. Deramus III began in 1955, when the young Deramus was president of the Chicago Great Western and Katy Railway. The father-and-son team began a joint study of a proposed propane line along the right-of-way of their respective railways. This led to a key role for both entrepreneurs in building the Mid-America Pipeline (MAPCO), which grew to become a major U.S. energy company. KCSR's small interest in MAPCO ended, however, when shares in MAPCO were distributed as dividends to KCSI stockholders in 1973 and later in 1982.
Diversification in the 1960s
In 1961 William N. Deramus III left his post at Chicago Great Western and joined his father in senior management of Kansas City Southern. Their partnership instituted a series of far-reaching transformations within the company, centering on the incorporation of Kansas City Southern Industries as a holding company, which in turn purchased Kansas City Southern Railway through a two-for-one stock swap with its investors. "The prospects for significant growth in the railroad industry are lacking," the younger Deramus told the International Commerce Commission (ICC) in 1962, "and the interest of shareholders can be better shared by diversification." At the time, this transaction was the largest in a trend among railroads to diversify in an attempt to remain viable in the face of growing competition from the trucking and airline industries.
The new Kansas City Southern Industries began a series of acquisitions starting in 1963 with the purchase of a 40 percent interest in Television Shares Management Corp., a Chicago-based mutual funds manager that attracted KCSI in part for its holdings in the electronics and aerospace industries. John Hawkinson was appointed president, and the name of the acquisition was changed to Supervised Investors Services Inc. (SIS).
As the volume of mutual fund transactions grew at SIS, Raymond P. Bammes and others at KCSI capitalized on KCSR's experience in computerized data processing to develop data management systems for mutual funds. A new company, DST Systems Inc., was incorporated in 1968 to market these systems to the financial services industry. In 1983 DST Systems Inc. went public, filing an initial public offering of 1.38 million shares. All shares were sold, and KCSI retained approximately an 86 percent interest. DST Systems grew to become one of the cornerstones of KCSI's financial services division.
In 1966 KCSI ventured into the broadcast media industry, purchasing six television and radio stations in Illinois and Missouri. The company acquired KRCG-TV and KWOS-radio in Jefferson City, Missouri; KMOS-TV in Sedalia, Missouri, for a purchase price of $3 million; and WEK-TV and WEEQ-TV in Peoria, Illinois, for $3 million.
In 1969 a new member of KCSI's legal department, Irvine O. Hockaday, discovered that Lee National Corporation had purchased 20 percent of KCSI stock and was secretly trying to gain control of the company. KCSI sued Lee National for $40 million to prevent the takeover on grounds that Lee National was an investment firm and was therefore barred from purchasing securities without prior Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval. Lee countersued with two civil suits asking $110 million in damages; the company charged that KCSI management was engaged in a conspiracy to thwart Lee's legal attempts to participate in control of the company.
Ultimately, due to Hockaday's efforts, Lee National agreed in November 1970 to transfer its 21.5 percent interest back to KCSI in exchange for $23 million in cash, real estate, and other securities. Largely as a result of his handling of the Lee National affair, Hockaday was named president and chief operating officer of KCSI in 1971, replacing William N. Deramus III, who continued as chairman and chief executive officer.
The late 1960s were difficult years for KCSR. In 1967 the railway terminated its passenger service after three consecutive years of losses totaling over $7.2 million. KCSI had been expending the bulk of its energies in diversification ventures and ignoring the needs of the railway. Furthermore, during an industrywide probe of the effects of railroad diversification in 1971, the ICC's Bureau of Enforcement proposed an investigation into KCSI's activities.
Among other things, the ICC alleged, "If there has not been a deliberate policy to deprive the railroad of its non-operating assets and to drain off its operating revenues, management, in pursuit of its independent enterprises, has been so indifferent to the financial well-being of the railroad company as to accomplish the same result." The ICC went on to accuse KCSI of wasting $9 million in the spinning off of its north Baton Rouge development project and the transfer of most of the carrier's $44 million nonoperating assets to the holding company. Another issue was the use of $9 million of the railroad's cash in the purchase of Howe Coal Co. in the late 1960s, an investment that led to a $15.4 million write-off when the coal company became unprofitable. Despite these setbacks, KCSI reported a net income of $12.8 million in 1971, up from $5.9 million a year earlier.
Another lawsuit was brought forward in 1971, challenging the merger of Supervised Investors Services and Kemperco Inc. and asking payment of profits made through the stock swap. The consolidation between SIS and Kemperco resulted in Kemper Financial Services. One of the largest mutual fund managers in the United States, it handled more than $30 billion in dividends.
Rejuvenating the Railway in the 1970s and 1980s
By 1973 KCSR was in worse shape than it had been in 1962. Neglect of the railway division by KCSI was addressed when a civil engineer, Thomas S. Carter, was appointed president of KCSR. Carter asked the KCSI board for $75 million to improve rail beds, which he promptly received. The impetus for this massive rehabilitation program was a 20-year contract to transport coal to power plants in Louisiana and Texas. Continuing his renovation program using only money generated by KCSI operations, Carter invested more than $200 million by 1978 to make the 1,500-mile track one of the safest and most efficient in the nation. As a result of the improved rail lines&mdash well as a new coal delivery contract--coal tonnage grew from just above one percent of KCSR's cargo in 1973 to approximately 20 percent in 1982 and 33.1 percent in 1991.
KCSR's profits grew in the early 1980s, thanks to an increase in coal transport and a favorable mix of other freight traffic yielding high revenues. Likewise, DST and Pioneer Western Corp.--which marketed insurance and investment services through its subsidiary, Western Reserve Life Insurance Co.--grew rapidly from 1975 to 1981, in part because of the expanding mutual funds industry. In 1983 the company bought a majority interest in Janus Capital Corp. and Janus Management Corp., a Denver-based mutual funds company that managed nearly $120 million in assets for private accounts. Also in 1983 KCSI joined Telecom Engineering to form LDX Group Inc., a telecommunications holding company formed as an umbrella company for KCSI's erratically profitable broadcasting subsidiary, LDX Network Inc.
In 1986 William N. Deramus IV became president of KCSR, and by the company's centennial in 1987, the Deramus family boasted a 75-year history with the railroad. That same year KCSI unsuccessfully bid $2.6 billion for Southern Pacific Corp., a railway ten times the size of KCSR that was considering a merger with Santa Fe Railway.
KCSI reported a net loss of $33 million in 1988, after paying $50 million to settle lawsuits filed by Energy Transport Systems Inc., which was involved in a project to build a coal slurry pipeline from Wyoming to Texas. The transport company alleged that KCSR had conspired with other railroads to block construction of the pipeline, which would have competed with KCSR's coal transport business. In a separate but related suit, the court ordered KCSI to pay $844 million in damages to the state of South Dakota. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals later overturned the judgment and the matter was settled by mid-1989.
Export coal volume grew tremendously in 1989, and KCSR was poised to handle overflow from eastern ports into ports on the Gulf of Mexico, notably Port Arthur. The railroad acquired total ownership of the facilities in Port Arthur in 1991. In April of that year, a nationwide labor dispute threatened the railroad; a one-day strike ensued that was immediately halted by congressional intervention. A National Mediations Board was installed to settle differences and decreed that railroads could operate two-man crews, regardless of the number of cars and length of trains. As a result of this determination, KCSR was able to pare down the number of its train operators by one-third from 600 employees to 400.
KCSI's strong showing in its financial services division in the late 1980s reflected the booming growth of the mutual funds industry. When KCSI entered the financial services market in 1962, managed assets were about $50 billion nationwide. By the end of 1991 managed assets had grown to nearly $1.4 trillion. Janus Capital Corp. sold about 10 percent of all growth funds in 1991, prompting U.S. News & World Report to name it the top fund family in the United States.
KCSR's railroad tracks ran through a generally prosperous area of the Sun Belt and benefited considerably from local traffic. In the early 1990s the company had streamlined its railway operating procedures and, with total control of the facilities, was poised to handle an increased volume of coal transport, its primary moneymaker. KCSI had also tightened its financial services division, paring off unprofitable ventures. The company had learned from its nonproductive endeavors and planned to concentrate its energies in the areas in which it excelled: transportation and financial services.
Prosperity in the 1990s
Janus Capital and Berger Associates enjoyed tremendous growth in the early 1990s, as investment in mutual funds continued to rise throughout the United States. In 1992 revenues at Janus rose 134 percent, contributing a third of KCSI's operating income. The following year the company's fund businesses outstripped the railroad business for the first time in providing income for KCSI. The fund management provided $112 million out of KCSI's total of $175 million in pretax income.
Although DST Systems suffered some setbacks in the early 1990s, it held a strong position in its area of expertise and was expanding its services. DST's operating income dropped 33 percent in 1992 after losing Vanguard as a customer. The mutual fund leader had accounted for 10 percent of DST's business, and the company had to scramble for new accounts to make up the loss. DST was the leader in providing third-party services to the mutual fund industry in 1993, holding 40 percent of the market. The company was moving into new service areas in an attempt to supply all of the back-office needs of the mutual fund industry. To offer portfolio accounting and stock transfer services, DST entered into joint ventures with Kemper Financial and State Street Boston. It also moved into new industries by adding a subsidiary called Vantage Computer Systems to provide record keeping and custom software to the life and property insurance industry. Its 50 percent-owned Argus Health Systems used DST computers to process medical claims.
The success of its financial asset management segment allowed KCSI to invest in improvements to its railroad segment. Between 1987 and 1993 the company spent $500 million to modernize track and facilities and to purchase modern diesel locomotives. In 1992 KCSI purchased MidSouth Corp. for $220 million. The acquisition added approximately 1,200 miles of track in Mississippi and Alabama, almost doubling the size of the railroad. More importantly, it extended KCSR's line from Dallas to Birmingham, Alabama, complementing its traditional north-south line between New Orleans and Kansas City. The extension strengthened KCSR's position in the lucrative chemical hauling and intermodal segments.
Throughout the early and mid-1990s, KCSI debated splitting up the company to concentrate on either the railroad or the financial asset management segments. The trend toward diversification in the 1960s had led KCSI into the unusual combination of industries, and an equally strong trend in the 1990s toward divestiture and single-industry companies encouraged KCSI to sell one off. Plans to sell the railroad accelerated in 1993, and the company reached an agreement to sell with Illinois Central in July 1994. Three months later, however, the deal fell through and debate about the company's structure continued.
In 1995 KCSI sold 51 percent of DST to the public. The money gained in the initial public offering helped reduce the company's debt ratio.
In 1997 KCSI teamed with Transportacion Maritima Mexicana S.A. de C.V. (TMM) to bid on Mexico's northeast railroad concession. At $1.4 billion, the KCSI/TMM bid won the 50-year concession to operate the northeast line of Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico. With the addition of this line, KCSR linked lines stretching from Chicago to Mexico City, forming what was being called "The Nafta Railroad."
In 1998 both the railroad and the financial asset management segments of KCSI were healthy. Plans to divide the two segments continued, although KCSI was then working on spinning off the financial asset management segment rather than the railroad.

On July 1, USC Viterbi alumna Rachel Morford officially took office as president of the Society of Women Engineers, or SWE. SWE is a global organization with the goal of empowering women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders.
As president, Morford will serve a one-year term, during which she will be responsible for communicating and engaging with over 41,000 SWE members from across the globe. Other duties include leading Board of Directors' meetings, participating on SWE committees, speaking at conferences, hosting the SWE Diverse Podcast series, and setting operational priorities for the year.
"SWE is an amazing community of people who support a critical mission — getting more women to study and pursue careers in engineering," said Morford, who graduated from USC Viterbi with BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering in 2007. "I am humbled and honored to be able to serve as president. There's a lot of responsibility that comes with the position, but a lot of amazing opportunities that I'm really looking forward to as well."
The world's largest advocate and catalyst for change for women in engineering and technology, SWE supports women engineers in all stages of their education and career through training and outreach programs, scholarships, mentoring, networking opportunities, and more. The organization has over 100 professional member sections and over 300 collegiate member sections, including one at USC Viterbi.
As president, Morford will spearhead the organization's response to the changing conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. She also plans to place emphasis on supporting initiatives for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
"I passionately believe that we need more people going into engineering, science, and math, so we can continue the amazing innovation and progress that improve the lives of everyone on the planet," Morford said. "When SWE started, women were an entirely untapped source of potential engineers – and although we've made progress, women and diverse populations are still significantly less represented in the number of engineering degrees granted and engineering jobs held."
Julia Scheibmeir, a USC Viterbi director of advancement who knows Morford through her work in alumni engagement, said SWE chose the right person to lead the organization. "Rachel is a truly inspirational leader with a strong motivation to serve, lead, learn from, and support other women," she said. "I'm confident that Rachel will use her platform as SWE president to empower women engineers on a large scale, and that her legacy will have a lasting impact on the organization."
SWE CEO Karen Horting says she is looking forward to working with Morford to advance the organization's mission. "Rachel is a great leader because she is very authentic. She brings her whole self to the role. She is not afraid to address the difficult questions with radical candor. She doesn't run from conflict but embraces the opportunity to hear different voices to find the best solution to the problem or challenge at hand."
History of Commitment
Morford has been an active member and contributor to SWE for more than a decade. Over the course of her involvement, she has served in a number of executive positions. They include the SWE chair of the Collegiate Leadership Coaching Committee; the SWE Los Angeles section president and vice president; a SWE governor, the SWE deputy director of regions, and finally as a director to the global SWE Board of Directors.
Morford's journey with SWE began during her time at USC. She was first exposed to the organization when she stayed with a USC SWE member during a campus visit as a high school senior. "She was an amazing inspiration," Morford said. "She was successful in the university's engineering program and a well-rounded leader."
Morford ended up joining USC SWE as a freshman and remained involved in the organization for all four of her years at USC Viterbi. "So many of the women I met on campus were amazing and encouraged me to excel throughout my engineering studies. As a result, they became some of my closest friends while I was a student on campus," Morford said.
As a sophomore, Morford attended the annual SWE conference in Milwaukee. "I had the opportunity to see the bigger organization — several thousand women who were working as engineers or studying to become engineers, which was incredible."
In addition to involvement with SWE, Morford was also an active participant in a variety of organizations in the USC community. Morford served as chair of the USC IEEE student branch and participated in Viterbi Student Ambassadors, the Engineering Student Research program, the USC Swim Team, USC Helenes, and more.
After graduating from USC Viterbi in 2007, Morford joined The Aerospace Corporation, a federally funded research and development center committed to space-related science and engineering. There, she's worked on supporting launches of critical national security satellite systems, developing international cooperative agreements for military satellite communications systems, and contributing to the production and launch of the Air Force's Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) communications satellites.
In January 2020, Morford was promoted to her current role of principal director at the Aerospace Corporation. Her responsibilities include leading teams that support the Space Force across multiple mission areas, including missile warning and weather.
"It's a fast-paced environment with a lot of opportunities," Morford said. "I really enjoy working with the larger teams across the company to support the government in this area."
Morford will continue to work at the Aerospace Corporation throughout her term as SWE president.
Morford credits her USC Viterbi education for contributing to her success in her career. In the classroom and in all of her extracurricular activities, Morford said she learned to value breadth and variety in her learning. "My time at USC Viterbi instilled a desire to learn about as many areas as possible, which I think is important to having an impact as a member of the world's community," Morford said. "I think that philosophy has prepared me well for the role of SWE President and has contributed to my success professionally."
Vision for the Future
As president, Morford will direct SWE's response to challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For more than a year, operations have been completely virtual, but the organization hopes soon to transition into in-person events. Morford will be responsible for adapting to changing pandemic conditions and working to transition to a hybrid model for events to accommodate the needs of sections worldwide.
"Many of the companies our members work at are working through the same questions and planning," Morford said. "It's an opportunity for SWE to step into the space as a thought leader for how to support women in engineering in the new normal."
Morford said she also wants to continue to focus on the organization's commitment to efforts involving diversity, equity, and inclusion. "We heard concerns and observations from members during town halls last July about their experiences as minorities in engineering and in SWE, and we spent a year working with our special directors to begin to make changes in our awards and leadership selection processes," Morford said. "It's an ongoing process, though, and as we learn, we need to do better and implement changes that will make our organization and profession more welcoming to individuals who identify as a part of under-represented communities."
As president, Morford is excited to pay forward all the advice and engineering she's received since starting to study engineering, "I hope that I'll continue to have interesting roles at work, that I continue to learn and grow in all areas of my life, and that I'll make a difference."
Morford is married to another Viterbi alum, Matthew Boatman, B.S. '07, and the couple are expecting their first child this fall.

John Saville - 1916-2009
July / August 2009
Keith Flett
John Saville, who has died aged 93, was a towering figure in the fields of Marxist and labour history, and in the British labour movement and the left, for more than seven decades.
His enduring legacy may well be the volumes of the Dictionary of Labour Biography that he edited, detailing the lives of many of the women and men who were active in the labour movement from the late 18th century.
Only someone with an extensive knowledge of the movement as a participant could possibly have embarked on such a project.
Saville joined the Communist Party (CP) in 1934 while studying at the LSE and was among anti-fascist students at the Battle of Cable Street. On graduation he worked for the CP as London student organiser and on two occasions took letters for the CP into Nazi Germany.
He briefly took a job as an economist with British Home Stores but from 1940 he served in the Second World War. As a Communist, but against the advice of the CP, he repeatedly refused to be a commissioned officer but still rose to the rank of sergeant major. He saw service in India from 1943 to 1946 where he acted as a go-between with Indian Communists and the British CP.
While in Bombay he led an intervention of CP soldiers in the Soldiers Parliament, causing an anti-imperialist motion to be passed and the closure of the parliament by senior officers. A certain military bearing and booming voice never left him, although it may be that his intellectual confidence owed rather more to his LSE years.
A member of the CP Historians Group after the war, Saville's first major work, an edition of some of the writings of Chartist leader Ernest Jones, appeared as early as 1952. In 1954 it was Saville who edited a volume in honour of the effective founder of the group, Donna Torr, called Democracy and the Labour Movement.
In 1956 Saville, with EP Thompson, was one of the leaders of the opposition in the CP following the Hungarian Revolution. The pair edited a journal, The Reasoner, later the New Reasoner, which was frowned upon and then banned by the CP. They left and became part of the founding group of the British New Left in the late 1950s.
Saville, however, did not participate significantly in the foundation of New Left Review in 1960. Rather he edited an annual publication, The Socialist Register, from 1964 with the Marxist theoretician Ralph Miliband. The Register, which is still published annually, became a forum for left wing discussion and debate.
Saville did not join another party after he left the CP, being sharply critical of both his former party and the Labour Party. Neither was he particularly attracted to the Trotskyist movement, although in later life he worked well with historians and activists associated with the Socialist Workers Party, particularly in the northern Marxist Historians Group.
He taught at Hull University for many years, from 1947 when he was 31, and lived in the city. His friendly relationship with the university's librarian, the poet Philip Larkin, led to Hull becoming an excellent resource for labour history. Saville endeavoured to tutor activists who were participants in the labour movement, for example John Prescott.
His academic output was not restricted to the ten volumes of the Dictionary of Labour Biography he was associated with from 1972 to 2000. He wrote economic history, mostly focusing on 19th century Britain, and in 1958 he was one of the founders of the still continuing Society of Labour History, for which he was a vice-president at the time of his death. With Asa Briggs he edited three volumes of Essays in British Labour History (from 1960) and went on to publish books on the crisis of the British state (1987), and on the impact of imperialism on the foreign policy of the 1945 Labour government (1993), among numerous other writings.
He was a consistent anti-imperialist and opponent of British military adventures. For example, he demonstrated that while the 1960s Labour government of Harold Wilson did not join in the Vietnam War it made British bases in the far east available to US troops, thereby providing help in kind.
He was a great encourager of socialist historians, but a firm believer in friendly but robust and critical advice. I persuaded him on several occasions to speak at the Institute of Historical Research in London, on the subject, so I hoped, of the Communist Party Historians Group. Saville rightly, however, was always far more interested in what could be done to promote the practice of socialist history in the here and now, and that was indeed what he spoke about.
Saville sometimes referred to Karl Marx's favourite adage, "De omnibus dubitandum" - "Doubt everything" - but also favoured the words from early editions of The Reasoner, "To leave error unrefuted is to encourage intellectual immorality."
Saville published his own memoir in 2003. It stands as a fascinating record of achievement in both Marxist scholarship and political activism.

Landmark Agreement Ends Indeterminate Long Term Solitary Confinement in California
Great News,
Today, the parties have agreed on a landmark settlement in the federal class action Ashker v. Governor of California that will effectively end indeterminate, long-term solitary confinement in all California state prisons. Subject to court approval, the agreement will result in a dramatic reduction in the number of people in solitary across the state and a new program that could be a model for other states going forward. The class action was brought in 2012 on behalf of prisoners held in solitary confinement at the Pelican Bay prison, often without any violent conduct or serious rule infractions, often for more than a decade, and all without any meaningful process for transfer out of isolation and back to the general prison population. Ashker argued that California's use of prolonged solitary confinement constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and denies prisoners the right to due process.
Complete Statement from California Prisoner Representatives:
"This settlement represents a monumental victory for prisoners and an important step toward our goal of ending solitary confinement in California, and across the country. California's agreement to abandon indeterminate SHU confinement based on gang affiliation demonstrates the power of unity and collective action. This victory was achieved by the efforts of people in prison, their families and loved ones, lawyers, and outside supporters. The movement began with a foundation of unity based on our Agreement to End Hostilities, an agreement between the various ethnic groups in California prisons to end the violence between us. This agreement reaches not only state prisons, but has inspired jail detainees, county prisoners and our communities on the street to oppose ethnic and racial violence. From this foundation, the prisoners' human rights movement is awakening the conscience of the nation, to recognize that we are fellow human beings. As the recent statements of President Obama and of Justice Kennedy illustrate, the nation is turning against solitary confinement. We celebrate this victory while at the same time, we recognize that achieving our goal of fundamentally transforming the criminal justice system and stopping the practice of warehousing people in prison will be a protracted struggle. We recommit to that fight, and invite you to join us."

"I Teatri del Mondo" is the longest and the most lasting Italian Festival dedicated to children and youth theatre in the world and it represents the most complete window that our country opens up to this particular kind of performance. It includes theatre performances, workshops, exhibitions, special events and original projects.
Since its birth in 1990, the Festival has always joined the theatre people from all over the world in a celebration full of colours and sounds, a celebration that is committed to the rights of minors and to peace among people and countries.
During the Festival, the town of Porto Sant'Elpidio is invaded by a lot of joyful, shouting and strongly motivated people which are one of the elements of boasting and strength of this project. That witnesses their interest in and their love for this event: children and young people with their families; Italian, European and international professionals, amateurs and journalists.
Italian, European and International companies present the most various and original techniques of live performance: theatre of actors and figures, comic theatre, shadows, puppets, marionettes, dance, animated objects, video projections and new technologies, bringing the young and the less young to a voyage through the knowledge, the enchantment and the everlasting magic coming from the story telling.
Today "I Teatri del Mondo" is a big container in which many other linked projects were born and have grown, making it a unique and special event in its genre.


Hello all redditors of personal finance!
I will be graduating from college this semester & have secured a job in Raleigh, North Carolina starting in June. My salary will be $85,000. This is a lot of money for someone who has only ever worked part time jobs in their life before. I've come looking for some financial advice.
I plan on putting 18,500 a year into my 401k (I assumed maxing would be smart but if anyone has any opinions i'd gladly hear them). My employer matches half of what I put in up to the IRS limit, which I believe is 18,500. This brings my taxable income down to 66,500. My rough tax estimate after looking at a few calculators online is 24.18%. That gives me 66,500*.7582= $50,420.30 of actual annual income.
$50,420.30 / 12 months = $4,201 monthly income after taxes.
Sounds like deathking133 has a credit card problem. As long as you don't carry a balance your credit cards can be a great tool not only for building your credit score but for earning rewards on every day purchases. Not to mention all the fraud protection and other possible benefits of each card. I have a half a dozen and it works great for me.
I currently have two & was planning on getting one more (probably last one for a while) at the end of this year. Feel free to leave any advice on the rest of the information in the post. Thanks for input!
Depending on the car loan interest I would start with an emergency savings (open a high yield savings account) of at least a few months before worrying over paying extra on the loans. If the car rate is much higher than the student loans I would attack that first. $400/month for entertainment seems high but hey, your young and your budget would allow for it (have fun). In the future you may want to look into a Roth IRA or some other investment account to help your money grow faster than a high yield savings account (keep the emergency fund there though).
As long as you are responsible (unlike deathking133) I would take advantage of any and all credit card rewards (sign up bonuses) you can. r/churning if you want to go crazy.
Car payment only has $4,500 left at 4.7% so not to bad. $400 a month for entertainment certainly is high but I figured moving to a new city & starting my career I would spend some time going out for drinks & dinner with new friends & coworkers. Preferably set it high & hopefully come under vs set low & continuously go over budget. Thanks for the advice!

Google News feeds are alive with a press release from Dell and Ubuntu. Dell will be making the wildly popular free Linux distribution available on select Dell laptops and workstations.
Many folks assume this will drop the price significantly due to the price difference between Windows and Ubuntu, but don't hedge your bets. Dell will be spending a lot of money on maintaining support and driver compatibility for Ubuntu, something that will arguably cost more than Windows XP (but probably not more than they're spending on Vista).
What this does bring to the market is a corporate sponsored and supported linux distribution specifically made for home and corporate users. Others have tried, but none landed a sweet deal like this one.
RedHat tried – failed, but succeeded in the server market. SuSE partnered up with Novel, but never really took off.

Individuals with varying degrees of hearing and vision loss known as DeafBlind have always dreamt of a safe, fun, barrier-free place where they could learn from each other and gain rich experiences. It is no longer a dream!
To empower people who are DeafBlind through equal opportunities to live full and productive lives, including full access to employment, technology, education, and socialization to reduce isolation.
To create a world where DeafBlind individuals explore their environment, make empowered autonomous decisions, and have access to the world around them.
Jacqueline Izaguirre, Kim Huston, Todd Huston, Kelly Brittingham, and Andrew Cohen met in early March 2016 to form DeafBlind Camp of Texas (DBCTX). Hayley Broadway and Kris Lund were recruited as the first SSP Coordinators. The very first DBCTX was held at Variety's Peaceable Kingdom on September 2nd to September 5th, 2016. Nearly 40 people including 10 DeafBlind individuals and 25 Support Service Providers participated in this magical journey!

GEHA names Dr. John A. Johnson as Chief Medical Officer
GEHA | November 2, 2022
Company news News
A distinguished physician, health care leader and colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves Medical Corps; Johnson will drive clinical and quality transformation to improve members' health and well-being.
LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. (Nov. 2, 2022) – GEHA (Government Employees Health Association, Inc., pronounced G.E.H.A.), today announced the appointment of Dr. John A. Johnson, M.D., M.B.A, as Chief Medical Officer (CMO). In this role, Johnson will oversee all clinical programs, focusing on quality improvement and enhancing culturally relevant services and solutions inherent to GEHA's efforts to evolve its member experience. To accomplish these goals, Johnson is focused on connecting members with their ultimate health care goals through an evidence-based approach to delivering integrated care.
Through a comprehensive approach to care, Dr. Johnson, his team and GEHA provide safe, effective and member-centric care tailored to meet the needs of public servants. All health plans offered by GEHA, including the most popular high deductible health plan (HDHP) among federal employees, are designed to contain members' out-of-pocket costs while simultaneously incentivizing healthy behaviors combined with innovative preventive care.
"With a distinguished career as a physician and leadership roles within both the managed care industry and the U.S. Army Reserves Medical Corps, Dr. Johnson is ideally qualified to lead our clinical and quality improvement strategies as we strive to help our nation's public servants live healthier and happier lives," said GEHA President & CEO Arthur A. Nizza, DSW. "His extensive experience with patients as a physician and his track record of success as a managed care leader, gives him a far-reaching view of the health care sector that is directly applicable to our work. As a nonprofit organization, we are resolute in our efforts to safeguard our members' well-being and to contain the costs associated with their health care – endeavors that will benefit greatly from John's perspective and abilities."
With more than two decades of diverse experience in the medical field, Johnson brings a wealth of expertise to GEHA. Johnson joins GEHA from Cardinal Innovations Healthcare, where he served as CMO. Previously, he also oversaw all clinical operations as CMO at Molina Healthcare of Ohio and at Virginia Premier Health Plan. Earlier in his managed care career, he served as the senior medical director for WellCare of Georgia, where he led the initiative to secure the state's managed Medicaid contract. Johnson also oversaw care management for the State Health Benefit Plan while serving as medical director at Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia.
As a doctor specializing in internal medicine, Johnson owned and operated a practice in Atlanta where he treated patients with acute and chronic conditions, ultimately growing it to 10,000 patients and developing a celebrated program to treat those with diabetes. Possessing insights gained in his efforts to improve community health, he later sold his practice to pursue a career in managed care.
"As a 25-year Army Reserve Veteran, I resonate with the unique needs of our members and am dedicated to enhancing the member experience. There is a continued and growing need to help members understand their complex medical needs and conditions; and GEHA provides the resources, tools and education for the ultimate goal of self-empowerment," said Johnson. "Our members are best served when we understand the communities in which they live and can leverage an evidence-based approach to care that ensures everything we do is focused on meeting those unique needs."
Johnson graduated from Seton Hall University and received his medical degree from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Board certified in internal medicine and a fellow of the American College of Physicians, he completed his residency at Emory University in Atlanta. Johnson later earned a master's in business administration with a focus on health care management from Emory's School of Business.
John also serves as a Colonel in the United States Army Reserves Medical Corps with 25 years of service. In addition, he is the president of the Emory University Medical Alumni Board, is the president-elect of the Medical Association of Atlanta and is vice-president of the board of directors for Leadership Empowerment Project, a nonprofit that helps African American men excel in their first years in college.
GEHA (Government Employees Health Association, Inc., pronounced G.E.H.A.) is a nonprofit member association that provides medical and dental benefits to more than 2 million federal employees and retirees, military retirees and their families. Offering one of the largest medical and dental benefit provider networks available to federal employees in the United States, GEHA empowers health and wellness by meeting its members where they are, when they need care.
Headquartered in Lee's Summit, Missouri, with approximately 1,600 employees, GEHA is committed to its members and their communities. GEHA has gained distinctive civic recognition by being named the 2022 Corporate Partner of the Year for the Mid-America LGBT Chamber of Commerce, the 2022 Nonprofit Champion of Diversity for the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the 2022 Truly the Best Business of the Year for Lee's Summit (Missouri) Chamber of Commerce. In 2022, GEHA signed the CEO Action Pledge, furthering its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Since 2021, GEHA has held exclusive naming rights to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, home to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Physical Therapy: Shifting to the Classroom — S'cool Moves, Inc.
Today a physical therapist called me from Ohio wanting to know more about our products, but what she really needed from me were some insights that I've gained from doing what I do for the last twenty years. She was a therapist making the huge shift from clinical practice to educational practice in schools. She told me that she was the ONLY physical therapist for the entire district and was spread really thin. Let's call our therapist Amber. Amber said that the teachers seemed to want to know what they could do in the classrooms for all the students to improve foundation skills. But how was she going to reach all these teachers and satisfy the IEP goals for her huge caseload? It was interesting. Do you know where my mind went to help Amber create a framework? It went to sharing about the Response-to-Intervention model (RTI). RTI was designed as an alternative to the discrepancy model used to determine if a child qualified for special education services. With RTI, methods of intervention are validated and data collected prior to referring a child for special education testing. Though some report RTI working well, for others it's a mixed bag depending on how it is being implemented.
What if we could use RTI personally? Let's call it the RTI-P model. During our conversation, I found myself explaining to Amber how RTI models work and personalizing the model for her. She got off the call with clarity and new tools to help guide her as she navigates her new position.
Today's thought is, "How can we use RTI-P to organize our jobs and caseloads?" Think in terms of tiers. RTI has three tiers. The first tier includes interventions and strategies we can use with all students in the classroom. The second tier includes modifications we need to make for small groups of students who are having difficulty with the class-wide strategies. The third tier focuses on individual strategies for the most involved students.
In your caseload, what students do you have that you could support in the classroom setting, Tier 1? Are there opportunities for you to present some strategies during staff meetings or on PD days to support teachers and students in the classroom?
Now think about Tier 2. What students need small group support either in the classroom or within designated smaller group environments?
And finally, Tier 3. What students are very involved and need your one-on-one, hands-on support?
While we wait for the powers that be to create a global RTI system that works for our districts, let's create our own personal RTI-P system that works for us.
Once you create your own personal framework, then you can figure out what materials or products will help you reach your goals, but first create your RTI-P framework.
Let me know if the RTI-P makes sense to you and how you've used it to be more effective in your job and less stressed!

We Were Here
Woody Allen was asked if he could live in any era of human history, which time would he choose.
Allen said he'd live now because of antibiotics.
Many people don't appreciate, as Woody Allen does, how fortunate we are to have been born in the mid to late 20th Century. Thanks to 19th Century advancements in plumbing and sewage and 20th Century advancements in medicine, people hardly ever die of communicable diseases anymore.
Humanity has done such an amazing job of beating infectious diseases that we view life fundamentally differently than our ancestors.
Today we believe that it is unnatural for parents to outlive their children. However, during the first three millennia of civilization, the majority of mothers who survived childbirth lived to bury at least one of their offspring. That is the natural way. Modern society has defeated nature and given us longer lives.
A sad side effect of science's stunning victory over disease is that there is now a movement against vaccinating children. The Anti-Vaxxers are absurdly funny in their ignorance. Because of the success of vaccines, no young parent has ever seen a child crippled by polio, disfigured by measles, or dying suddenly from rubella. So now some young parents don't understand why vaccinations are absolutely necessary.
No American under 60 has seen anything even remotely resembling a plague. That is except for the people who lived in urban gay neighborhoods in the 1980s.
"We Were Here" is an informative and surprisingly upbeat documentary from the point of view of five people who lived in San Francisco during the AIDS epidemic.
Naturally, the movie doesn't have such a happy beginning. With photographs and vivid stories, the survivors try to communicate the horrors that AIDS inflicted on its victims.
The reason why it took years to properly diagnose the disease is because AIDS killed everyone differently. In the early 80s, it was often called "gay cancer" because many victims developed a cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma which usually only afflicts the elderly. Many were hit with sudden and debilitating pneumonia. Some AIDS patients went blind. Others mysteriously shed dozens of pounds and wasted away.
All told, 15,000 people died in San Francisco during the first decade of the crisis. And most of them were residents of the small gay neighborhood. Everyone there lost people they knew. It was as close to a true Black Death-style plague as any American has experienced.
But rather than annihilating the neighborhood, AIDS brought it closer together. Before the epidemic, people came to the Castro District for freedom, unlimited sex, and little else. AIDS turned the neighborhood into a community.
"We Were Here" evolves into a heartening story of human decency as all the protagonists describe how they – and the city at large – came together to help each other.
One guy joined a group that set up a buddy system so that every AIDS patient had a friend and advocate during their final months. One guy opened a store that gave all its profits to the sick. One lady who used to work as a nurse in an AIDS clinic founded a research facility that eventually discovered the drug cocktail that successfully treats HIV.
The film admits that gay males were generally dismissive of lesbians in the 1970s. During the AIDS crisis, lesbians did so much unsolicited charity work – from delivering food to the homebound to giving blood when the Red Cross wasn't taking blood from men – it created the inclusive LGBT community that San Francisco has today.
Considering the subject matter, "We Were Here" is as positive a story as you can imagine.
Nevertheless, "We Were Here" is a sober reminder that plagues are a real thing and they're unfathomably awful. No one can force you to be grateful to modern science for saving us from deadly outbreaks. We should probably force you to vaccinate your children, though.

We, Philip Baldwin (1947) and Monica Guggisberg (1955), have been a collaborative team for forty years. We share an instinctive appreciation for the subtle blending of art and design, functionality and abstract expression, combined with a love of material – especially glass.
Over time our work has developed its own distinctive signature, based on Italian cold-working «battuto» combined with the Swedish overlay process for layering colors. Our work in these techniques has been pioneering in the field. Color, light, texture, pattern, and shape together allow us to reveal an undercurrent of meaning and value, adhering to the simplest of forms and clear lines. Although we have become more sculptural in our focus over the years, we seek to imbue everything we do with a deep connection to archetypal forms and shapes, while striving for the highest level of craftsmanship. We want to honor eternal symbols of human culture and history while embracing contemporary evolution in form and meaning.

PAAR / 2022
Paar is a VR dance film split between a physical world and virtual world. Filmed in the Tieranatomisches Theater (TAT) at Berlin Charité, and set to an ambient sonic landscape by the artist Arushi Jain and movement by choreographer and creative director Carly Lave. Paar uses 360 video together with motion capture technology, audience members are taken through a seven minute immersive experience where they get to stand, bear witness and interact with the dancers' journey. This project is possible with support from director Carly Lave, Dr. Christian Stein, cofounder of gamelab.berlin, and GHUNGHRU founder Arushi Jain. In the creation of the projection, we integrated multiple technological components to drive the composition of the video across physical and virtual spaces.
Motion Capture Technology
Sound Spatialization
Paar was filmed using the Insta360Pro camera together with motion capture technology to create a music video split between a physical world and virtual world. We integrated this real-world footage with a virtual model of the TAT that was specially modeled and designed for the performance. The virtual model is developed from a 3D photorealistic rendering of the TAT, created via a process of photogrammetry shot by DSLR cameras and drone technology. We composited these images to create a hyper-realistic model of the TAT to splice with our live film, making for 180° of virtual world and 180° of physical world viewable in VR. Paar premiered June 9th at the Tieranatomisches Theater Berlin. Paar at the TAT
GOLEM / 2018
An Immersive Dance Project Radicalizing the Physical Body in the Virtual World, this joint-institution, international, and interdisciplinary research project explored the dancing body through technologies including motion-capture technology, virtual reality, digital avatars, and the physical stage to wield a narrative between man and machine. The resulting work sought to question the human body's engagement, sensorial response, and viewership in the fields of virtual design and dance.
Together a cross-disciplinary team from gamelab.berlin (of Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, the Virtual Design Lab of Kaiserslautern Hochschule, Arushi Jain from GHUNGHRU and Carly Lave forged in December 2018 to envision new methodologies of using motion-capture technology and virtual reality in a performance space. The feasibility and creation of this project is entirely dependent on the novel and exciting art-tech collaboration. The performance featured the Optitrack motion-capture system with VR headsets, Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs), onstage. Through live projections, the dancers interacted with a motion-captured representation of their body in the virtual environment, engineered in Unity by the Kaiserslautern team.
Instrument Design
Extending Interfaces for Disability
In 2019, I got severely injured carrying my synthesizer on tour in India. Due to this, I've had limited movement in my right hand which has proven to be quite difficult for both programming, composing and performance purposes. Given that I was no longer able to sequence my modular synthesizer using my keyboard, I had to create more creative ways that didn't require the use of my hands.
This lead to the creation of ektara, a tool built using Max MSP that enables me to sing a melody into a microphone and directly sequence my synthesizer. Using a pitch detection algorithm in real time, voice is converted into fractional MIDI notes (fractional element enabling microtonality), and mathematically converted into a voltage unit which can be sent to the modular using any DC coupled interface. The result is a new paradigm in the field of modular, where it's now possible for a voltage based syntheiszer to mimic a human voice in microtones, creating a theremin like impact of a singing synthesizer. In addition to being a great tool for people with disabilities, it also sounds incredible and enables musicians to bring microtonality to electronic music.
Communal Virtual Aural Interfaces
From 2018 - 2021 I worked as an infrastructure engineer at Reddit, cycling between the departments of Ads Engineering, Growth and Network Infrastructure. As you know, Reddit is one of the top five most visited websites in the US, with a mission to bring community and belonging to the whole world. What this means in reality, is that there are a lot of users who meet and interact with countless anonymous pieces of content in a virtual space.
I've always found the question "What is the ambient noise of an online chatroom" fascinating. So while I was working at Reddit, I did a series of art experiments to better understand how audio can expand our understanding of virtual communities.
What is the ambient noise of online spaces?
Can audio be used to navigate online spaces?

Los proyectos constitucionales de Francisco de Miranda y el Derecho publico romano
Alexeeva T. A. In bk.: Teoria del diritto e dello stato: Revista Europea di cultura e scienza. Rome: Rivista quadrimestrale, 2010. P. 339-356.
The article deals with three constitutional projects of Francisco de Miranda, distinguished Venezuelan. It is devoted to analyzes of the characteristics of the project of 1798, based on the experience of British constitutional law and public law of Ancient Rome. Special attention is focused on provisions of the projects of 1801 and 1808: on temporary public power during the war of colonies for independence from Spain and on federal government after the liberation. F.Miranda used for these projects a constitutional experience of many countries. One of the sources of his intellectual reflection was the constitution of Ancient Rome, the most important elements of which were people`s assembleis and magistracy. These institutes were adopted by F.Miranda and creatively impleamented according to specific conditions of Ibero-America.

In chronological order, the author presents the various features of professors teaching the subject, describing the work published by them, shows the relationship of the Roman law teaching manners to the socio-political situation in the country and the situation of the universities. The article describes the characteristics of the study of the history of Roman law and its dogma (system) and results of its studies by Russian researchers during their stay in Germany, where modern Roman law was actual before the entrance into force of the German Civil Code. The analysis concludes by comparing the pre-revolutionary tradition and contemporary situation of teaching of Roman law and its contribution to legal education.
The Legitimacy of the Bolshevik Order, 1917-1918: Language Usage in Revolutionary Russian Law
Borisova T. Y. Law. LAW. Высшая школа экономики, 2012. No. 05.
The article describes and analyzes the legislative politics of revolutionary regimes in Russia in 1917-1918. The author aims to demonstrate the political meaning of the form of early Soviet legislation and its legitimizing effect. The revolutionary legislators often used specific language in the new laws as a vehicle of legitimacy, i.e. to make the people comply. The two main types of legal language used by the Bolsheviks can be interpreted from the perspective of different types of legitimacy. The revolutionary strategy used propagandistic legislation, written in the language of lay people, which urged them to act according to the new law. It can be seen as a request for acts of the people to legitimize the soviets. On the contrary, the traditional strategy employed old bureaucratic means of writing and distributing legislation to the local soviets. The language used by this strategy was closed to the understanding of a lay audience and implied traditions of obeying the law written in familiar legal language, which in turn implied rational/legal legitimacy. The second strategy had already become dominant after the first months of the Bolshevik revolution. This observation demonstrates that from the very beginning of their rule, Soviet leaders approached legislative policy from a technocratic point of view, which determined the further development of Soviet legal theory and practice.

The philosophy of sovereignty, human rights, and democracy in Russia
Antonov M. Law. LAW. Высшая школа экономики, 2013. No. WP BRP 24/LAW/2013.
This paper examines the correlation between the concepts of sovereignty, human rights, and democracy in Russian legal and political debate, analyzing this correlation in the context of Russian philosophical discourse. It argues that sovereignty is often used as a powerful argument which allows the overruling of international humanitarian standards and the formal constitutional guarantees of human rights. This conflict between sovereignty and human rights also recurs in other countries, and many legal scholars demand the revision or even abandonment of the concept of sovereignty. In Russia this conflict is aggravated by some characteristic features of the traditional mentality which frequently favors statism and collective interests over individual ones, and by the state building a "power vertical" subordinating regional and other particularistic interests to the central power. These features and policies are studied in the context of the Slavophile-Westernizer philosophical divide. This divide reveals the pros and contras put forward by the Russian supporters of the isolationist (conservative) policy throughout contemporary history, and especially in the sovereignty debates in recent years. The Russian Constitution contains many declaratory statements about human rights and democracy, but their formulations are vague and have little concrete effect in court battles where the application of international humanitarian law is counterbalanced by the concerns of the protection of sovereignty. These concerns coincide with isolationist and authoritarian policies, which led in 2006 to their amalgamation into the concept of "sovereign democracy." This concept is considered in this paper to be a recurrence of the Russian conservative tradition. Even though the concept in its literal meaning has been abandoned by its author and supporters, most of its ideas are still on the cusp of the official political discourse which reproduces the pivotal axes of the Russian political philosophy of the 19th century.

The article is concerned with several turning points in the history of the concept of the legal principle in European law as represented in the treatises of some leading lawyers of ancient Rome, the Middle Ages and the modern age. The main point is that the idea of legal principle did not exist in Roman Law, but it was partly developed in medieval civil law and found its full expression in the treatises of those academicians who advocated the natural law.

Russian Competition law in light of the principles of ex post and ex ante
Totyev K. Y. Law. LAW. Высшая школа экономики, 2014
This article is devoted to the legitimation and application of the standards of ex post and ex ante by courts and the executive authorities in the sphere of competition regulation. The postulates of ex post and ex ante are considered as legal principles. The principle of ex post is intended solely for judicial and administrative application; it has a deontological framework; it assumes that the legality of the activity of economic entities is assessed only on the basis of positive legal criteria in terms of the subjective rights violated; it is limited to a particular case. The traditional approach to the principle of ex post limits the scope of its application on the subjects and excessively expands its objects. The postulate of ex ante has a utilitarian basis which assumes the assessment of the application of relevant rules in the future. One of the main aims of the article is to refute the common view of lawyers and economists that a legislator applies principle of ex ante not being bound by principle of ex post, while it is the other way around for the courts and the executive authorities. The principle of ex ante may be applied not only in the process of the creation of new rules but also at the application stage for existing rules on economic competition. This is justified because the arguments of the courts and the executive authorities about a refusal to take into account the consequences of a decision in a particular case are not convincing.

The article is devoted to a particular form of freedom of assembly — the right to counter-demonstrate. The author underlines the value of this right as an element of democratic society, but also acknowledges the risk of violent actions among participants of opposing demonstrations. Due to this risk, the government may adopt adequate measures restricting the right to counter-demonstrate, certain types of which are analyzed in this paper.
Legislation as a Source of Law in Late Imperial Russia
This article analyzes the usage of legislation as a legal source in the Russian Empire through the phenomenon of the publication of law. The author argues that the absence of separation of executive, legislative and court powers had definite negative effects for lawmaking and enforcement. The legislative politics of Russian emperors could be analyzed using Jürgen Habermas' concept of ―representative publicness‖ (representative öffentlichkeit): to a large extent, the tsars considered law as both an assertion of authority and a means of governing. Their actions towards strengthening legality in the state (i.e. the compulsory publication of legislation) were in essence symbolic or theatrical. In fact, since the separation of laws from executive acts did not exist in imperial Russia, the legislation was published (or stayed unpublished) exclusively for state administrators. The conflict in conceptions of legality between state and civil actors in the second half of the nineteenth century was not of a merely political nature. The article demonstrates that there was a public demand for publication of legislation; insufficient accessibility of legal information negatively influenced social and economic development in imperial Russia.
