Sport Australia takes $10m from schools
"Australian schools missed out on federal government funding earmarked for school sporting grants because Sport Australia used it for administration, technology, marketing and other associated programs."

NSW politicians call for access to abortions in Wagga
"To think that doctors are failing in their duty of care to provide simple access to healthcare, it's shameful. It's 2020."
Justine Landis-Hanley In the wake of revelations that doctors in Wagga Wagga are refusing to perform abortions, the New South Wales government faces pressure to investigate access to reproductive healthcare across the state.
Australia's COVID-19 response
Mike Seccombe As Scott Morrison announces emergency COVID-19 measures and medical experts 'war game' worst-case scenarios, a looming recession may prove the greatest threat to Australia.
Biden surges to lead on Super Tuesday

Rick Morton
A fraction too much fiction
"The truth, in Scott Morrison's world, is like light. With the right forces, it can be fractured or bent out of shape. Sometimes it changes of its own accord, as the sun charts a course across the sky. As Immigration minister, he invented the notion of 'on-water matters' – which would not be commented on – and changed forever how politicians share information."
Paul Bongiorno
Scott Morrison's misleading hedges
"It is getting harder by the week to believe a word uttered by the prime minister of Australia. And no one has done more to undermine Scott Morrison's credibility than the man himself. This harsh judgement is shared not only by his political opponents in the Labor Party but also by all but one of the six crossbenchers in the house of representatives."
A Gus of hot air
Richard Ackland Field agents from Wingello in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales bring reports that Schmo turned up in town on a post-bushfire inspection. Only the Rural Fire Service seemed to be aware of his arrival; hence there were no brass bands and drum majorettes to welcome him in the main street. To cheer everyone up the PM brought Grassgate Gussy Taylor with him, yet residents were kept in the dark about their local member's movements.

Waiting for bad news
The government will next week announce the details of a stimulus package it hopes can blunt the effects of COVID-19 on the Australian economy. But long before the first coronavirus case was confirmed in Wuhan, the Australian economy was giving off warning signs. And, for months, the government ignored these gasps and sputters.

Jenny Valentish As one of the world's leading astrophysicists, Professor Jo Dunkley has researched both the mass of the tiniest particle and the size of the universe. Here, she speaks about the thrill of discovery and the untold stories of women in science. "I started off being intent on just writing about the science, but then I realised the stories of the scientists would be just as interesting. Now I'm fascinated about all the people that must be out there who have never been credited."

Der T-70 () ist ein sowjetischer und später moldawischer Kettentraktor, der ab 1974 im Kischinjowski Traktorny Sawod (dt. Kischinauer Traktorenwerk, kurz КТЗ bzw. KTS) produziert wurde. Er ist der Nachfolger des ähnlichen T-54W und basiert technisch auf dem bekannten Radtraktor MTZ-80 aus dem Minski Traktorny Sawod.

Fahrzeuggeschichte
Bereits die beiden Vorgängermodelle, der T-50W und T-54W, waren Kettentraktoren und basierten auf Radtraktoren aus dem Minski Traktorny Sawod. Als dieses 1974 mit der Fertigung des MTZ-80 begann, wurde auch bei KTS mit dem T-70 ein neues Modell eingeführt. Wesentliche Komponenten des Radtraktors wurden übernommen, darunter Motor und Schaltgetriebe (ohne zusätzliche Untersetzung). Das Gleiskettenfahrwerk wurde im Vergleich zum Vorgänger verlängert und verbreitert. Außerdem erhielt der Traktor im Laufe der Produktionszeit eine andere Kabine und Motorhaube als der T-54W.

Es wurden verschiedene Versionen des Fahrzeugs gebaut, die sich in verschiedenen Details unterschieden. Das sind unter anderem:

 T-70A – Für den Einsatz im Gartenbau, ebenfalls für die allgemeine Landwirtschaft geeignet.
 T-70S – Für den Anbau von Zuckerrüben gedacht, gebaut von 1975 bis 1988.
 T-70SM – Modernisierte Version des Modells T-70S, gebaut von 1988 bis Produktionsende.
 T-70W – Spezielle Version für den Weinanbau, geeignet um steilere Hänge zu befahren.
 T-70W-Ch – Spezialversion für den Hopfenanbau.

In der Zeit von 1986 bis 1990 wurden im Schnitt etwa 12.000 der Traktoren pro Jahr von KTS gebaut. Auch nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion wurde der Traktor weiter gefertigt, das Herstellerwerk lag nun im neu gegründeten Staat Moldawien. Die Produktion endete 2008 nach 34 Jahren, da das Unternehmen in diesem Jahr für bankrott erklärt wurde.

2014 gründete sich ein Unternehmen in Kischinau mit dem Plan, den T-70 wieder zu fertigen. Ob dieses Vorhaben realisiert wurde, ist nicht bekannt.

Brad Caleb Kane Writing a Movie Based on View-Masters?!
Source: ComingSoon
And you thought that Asteroids movie was a far-fetched idea? ComingSoon has discovered that "Fringe" co-producer and writer Brad Caleb Kane will be writing a movie based on Fisher-Price's View-Master toy. If you don't know what that is, just check out that photo above to jog your memory, I'm sure you'll know exactly what they are. These little plastic gimmicks first came out in 1939 and are designed to allow people to see a photo in 3D simply by looking through the viewfinders. Kane later confirmed the news on his Twitter adding that, "it'll be like the old 80's Amblin movies: Goonies, Young Sherlock… In that vein."
Brad Caleb Kane is currently writing an alien script called Uprising for Sony and Wolfgang Petersen. After that, he will be moving onto this View-Master movie, which is being developed by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci over at DreamWorks. I don't really understand how this would work, in any way, shape, or form. Though after further consideration, the View-Master is such a classic toy by now that it's at a point where I wouldn't actually mind seeing it used for a movie, somehow. I mean, I had one of these when I was a kid, but haven't seen one in forever. It seems odd, but if they come up with a good idea, then why not.
A few people are confusing his current project, Uprising, with this new project, in that this View-Master movie will involve aliens. To entertain that idea, I could actually see something like that working, such as looking through the View-Master allows you to see them (a la They Live) or there is a special View-Master that contains some intergalactic map or something. But if it's not about aliens, then what about horror? He references Goonies, so probably not. So is it just a kids movie about a magical or whimsical View-Master that takes some kids on an adventure? If so, then you know what, that could actually be pretty damn fun.

Jojo on Jul 3, 2009
2012 is coming!!! Maybe on December 21st they'll announce an original amazing movie!?! Call me hopeful, but I could see a movie based around the idea of the viewmaster but more sci-fi in that there's an object that lets you see the future or other dimensions or something like that. Really has nothing to do with the viewmaster but you get it Would be a great kids movie if it took them to a fantasy world. There's plenty of ideas really oppose to asteroids in which...ya shoot asteroids. Cool explosions for 90mins...meh.
With two of the hottest writers in Hollywood helming this it could turn out pretty good...or maybe Orci and Kurtzmann just need a paycheck (though with Star Trek I seriously doubt that).

an asthma inhaler*
...and here's a link to youtube about asthma inhalers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHcG8DXUwdQ I think there's a BIG potential here for a series of 3-4 maybe even 9 blockbusters
Viewmaster certainly needs a boost at the moment - I know John Lasseter's a big fan. I'd love to see this happen just to reboot the popularity of 3D toys. I'm also sorta tempted by the idea of a Ker-plunk movie... Maybe they could do Cluedo, no wait....

ClickHereDummy on Jul 5, 2009
Hollywood is broken. this is true. I dont know how but this will be cool. It may be a wolf trapped in sheeps clothing. Do a little homework before you spew hate. Brad Kane had one of the most well reviewed spec scripts called "These City Walls" selected for the "black list" (Hollywood insiders favorite scripts that will never get made because the are not commercial enough). Star Trek and Fringe dont suck either. The bottom line is writers in hollwood work with mega-companies to get big movies made and marketed. Even with that baggage (product placement-tie in) these guys will find a way to make something very entertaining. People are hoping this will be an abject failure and thus studios will go back to making original stories...don't hold your breath. These guys will probably make it pretty effin cool popcorn flick. Dont hate the players, don't hate the game, make your own film, book, toy, comic or at least support true indie films if you want to see more of that.

SAAB 37 Viggen ("Blesk") byl švédský jednomístný jednomotorový víceúčelový bojový letoun schopný operovat z nouzových ploch. Vyvinut byl společností Saab, určený k provádění bitevních, stíhacích a průzkumných úkolů. Mezi požadavky na letoun byla schopnost operovat z nouzových letištních ploch (například rovné úseky dálnic); ke zkrácení dojezdu při přistání Viggen využíval reverzaci tahu motoru. Viggen byl vybaven sklápěcí svislou ocasní plochou pro snížení výšky při ukrytí v síti švédských podzemních hangárů. Ve své době patřil mezi nejpokročilejší evropské bojové letouny.

Vývoj

V roce 1961 vypsal švédský letecký úřad specifikace na letoun nazvaný "standardizovaná létající platforma". Nový stroj měl po nevelkých úpravách ve výrobě splňovat s jediným drakem a motorem požadavky na bitevní lety v přízemních výškách, přepadové stíhání, průzkum a ve dvoumístné verzi cvičné lety.

Úkol byl svěřen společnosti Svenska Aeroplanaktiebolaget (SAAB) v Linköpingu a jeho šéfkonstruktéru ing. Eriku Brattovi. Základní návrh byl hotov v únoru 1962, když předtím letecký úřad rozhodl o pohonné jednotce. Tou se měl stát licenčně vyráběný motor Pratt & Whitney JT8D-22, který měla po úpravě vyrábět firma Svenska Flygmotor AB (později Volvo Flygmotor a Volvo Aero) pod označením RM8.

Na podzim 1963 SAAB švédským státním orgánům přednesl detailní rozpočet na vývoj Viggenu a v září 1964 byla zahájena výroba sedmi prototypů.

První ze sedmi jednomístných prototypů Saab 37-1 Viggen zalétal pilot Erik Dahlström 8. února 1967. Osmý prototyp byl dvoumístný. Požadovaná schopnost vzletu a přistání na krátkých úsecích dálnic byla vyřešena kombinací trojúhelníkových příďových kachních ploch s ofukovanými vztlakovými klapkami a trojúhelníkovým křídlem. Tato konfigurace společně s motorem o tahu 125,04 kN s přídavným spalováním, účinným obracečem tahu a antiblokačním brzdovým systémem umožnila splnění požadavku.

V dubnu 1967 švédský parlament schválil rozpočet na výrobu 83 Viggenů v bitevní verzi AJ 37 a sedmnácti dvoumístných cvičných Sk 37 (sériová čísla 37801-37817) bez radiolokátoru. Sériová výroba byla zahájena verzí AJ 37 (první vzlet 23. ledna 1971), kterou následovaly cvičné Sk 37, v roce 1973 osmadvacet fotoprůzkumných SF 37 (37950-37977) a 28 námořních hlídkových a průzkumných SH 37.

Fotoprůzkumná modifikace SF 37 byla navržena jako náhrada S-35E Draken. Místo radiolokátoru měla ve speciálně tvarované přídi šest kamer, zatímco SH 37 byla vybavena výkonným radiolokátorem PS-371/A. Prototyp SF 37 vzlétl 21. května 1973.
V letech 1979 až 1990 obdrželo švédské letectvo 149 stíhacích letounů druhé generace JA 37. Od roku 1993 do roku 1997 Saab přestavěl 48 exemplářů AJ 37, 25 kusů SF 37 a 25 letounů SH 37 na variantu AJS 37, schopnou zajišťovat současně bitevní, stíhací a průzkumné úkoly.

Další modernizací se stala varianta JA 37 označená Mod D. Nesla modernizovaný radar Ericsson PS-46/A, nový systém zbrańových závěsníků a počítač pro systém ovládání podvěsů, což umožňovalo použití řízených střel AIM-120 AMRAAM. První z těchto modifikovaných strojů se vrátil do provozu v roce 1998.

Poslední verzí byl Saab Sk 37E Stör-Viggen určený pro elektronický boj a výcvik budoucích pilotů Viggenu, který vznikl přestavbou deseti letounů Sk 37 v období 1998 až 2000. Výbava zahrnovala mj. aktivní rušící kontejnery U95, U22/A a kontejner KB s výmetnicemi protiradiolokačních infračervených klamných cílů.

V listopadu 2005 byly Viggeny operačních jednotek švédského letectva, jeho jediného uživatele, plně nahrazeny novými stroji Saab JAS-39 Gripen.

Q: Gem for counting amount of touches of items of certain model in rails? Yo!
Is there a gem for rails, which allows the count of an item of a certain model being touched (updated)? For example, I am having a model invitation_links which holds invitation links that users can use. Whenever an invitation link is used, it should be touched and the count should go up +1.
Hope you understand what I want, thank you in advance!

A: This only existing tool for that is Counter Cache I would say.

Just to add. Bronze and Gold versions of the above are also encountered.
Just expand on Andreas' post. Another reference affectively states that; from 1916 further examples of this medal were produced in gold plated silver (bronze being needed for the war effort) 'Die nachfolgenden Exemplare waren – wohl aus Materialproblemen (ab 1916 durfte kriegsbedingt keine Bronze mehr verwendet werden) – Silbervergoldet (950er Silber) hergestellt'.

In: Orden und Ehrenzeichen, 15. Jg., Nr. 85, Juni 2013, Seite 156. With regard to the book recommended by Andreas: (Friedhelm Beyreiß: Der Hausorden und die tragbaren Ehrenzeichen des Großherzogtum Oldenburg 1813-1918. Militair-Verlag Klaus D. Patzwall. Norderstedt 1997). The information re: number of awards given, should be treated with some caution.* * Werner Heinz, K. P. Christian Spath: Die Rote-Kreuz-Medaille des Großherzogtums Oldenburg unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Verleihungen im Fürstentum Birkenfeld. In: Orden und Ehrenzeichen. 15. Jg., Nr. 85, Juni 2013. This reference indicates up to 450 awards. To cut a long story short: Early pieces were goldplated/gilded bronze. Post 1916 examples goldplated/gilded 950 silver. Up to 450 awards could have been made. Cheers Paul H.
Another reference states: 'Die nachfolgenden Exemplare waren – wohl aus Materialproblemen (ab 1916 durfte kriegsbedingt keine Bronze mehr verwendet werden) – Silbervergoldet (950er Silber) hergestellt'.
Hi Andreas, thanks for the reference. For the benefit of myself and others interested in this rare award, could you please briefly say what is not correct with the information above. Many thanks Paul H.
According to the sources I've been looking at, the Oldenburg firm of Knauer delivered only 50 examples of this medal. From this, 18 pieces were awarded between 22nd January 1908 and 22nd October 1918. 16 of which were to women and 2 to men. It would seem the first issues were in silver (950) the rest bronze.

Didn't know this was a quiz but here we go: All the ships were involved in the Battle of Jutland as '1st Scouting Group'. With the exception of SMS Luetzow (Lützow), the other ships survived the encounter but were scuttled at Scapa Flow and later salvaged.
That is very nice Uwe. I much prefer the 'Traditional/formal' style award certificate to the 'Modern' type. Here's mine: (The Badges are shown above as 'The final version').

The news of my arrival at the station spread with great rapidity. The two spies took the intelligence, that evening, as far as Coe's station, and the next morning to Reed's station, to my husband. It also reached Pittsburgh that same evening. And the next morning, a young man who was employed by the magistrates of Pittsburgh, came for me, to go immediately to town, to give in my deposition, that it might be published to the American people. Being unable to walk, or ride on horseback, some of the men took me and carried me into a canoe on the river, and took me down in this manner; and when I arrived in Pittsburgh, I was taken from the canoe, in the arms of the men, to the office of John Wilkins, Esquire, the father of the Hon. William Wilkins, judge of the United States Court. The deposition which I then gave in was published through the Union, in the different newspapers of the day, and has since been preserved, and may be read in Loudon's Narratives of outrages by the Indians, vol. 1, p. 85.
As the intelligence spread, the town of Pittsburgh, and the country for twenty miles round, was all in a state of commotion. About sunset the same evening, my husband came to see me, in Pittsburgh, and I was taken back to Coe's station on Tuesday morning. In the evening I gave the account of the murder of my boy on the Island. The next morning, (Wednesday,) there was a scout went out, and found it by my direction, and buried it, after being murdered nine days.
Massa Harbison went on to raise a large family; her descendents continue in this area today.
The cemetery near the site of Reed's Station. The legible stones date from the 1880's; the smaller brown stones with no visible epitaph probably mark the graves of the pioneers.
Whether Massa's 5 year old, who was killed on Todd's island was returned here for burial has not been determined, but the body of her 3 year old and that of the waiter who were killed in the raid are almost certainly here.
Massa Harbison was first buried near Buffalo Creek and was later moved to Freeport Cemetery.

Gaping Hole in Models for Using Spectrum Efficiently
By Brough Turner
In February, the FCC's Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis published three studies (1, 2, 3) on spectrum licensing and spectrum utilization. Thanks to Nick Ruark for pointing them out.
Since the papers discuss tradeoffs between licensed and various "unlicensed" approaches to spectrum utilization, I printed them out and threw them in my luggage, finally reading them today. These are theoretical studies that assume you are familiar with Nash equilibrium (named after John Nash, the mathematician made famous by the movie A Beautiful Mind) and mechanism design (a part of game theory that is directly applicable to designing auctions). Heavy stuff indeed!
Reading on I was struck by a gaping hole in their assumptions. Of course an academic study can start from any assusmptions the authors prefer, but it helps if there is some relationship to reality.
What's missing in these papers is any thought of future innovations. The key feature of the currently available slivers of "license exempt" spectrum (in bands just above 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) is that they provide options for future innovation. None of what we know of as WiFi or Bluetooth, either technology or business models, was in existence when the FCC originally opened up the 2.4 GHz band — a band that was previously devoted to (and is still used by) microwave ovens and industrial heating equipment. Indeed, the principal reason why the FCC is studying spectrum allocation models today, is the innovation that resulted from opening up license exempt spectrum.
So the goal isn't to figure out how to make current users of unlicensed spectrum use it more efficiently with today's technology. The goal is to motivate people to find new ways to get more utility out of the spectrum in question. How do we foster innovation? How do we increase the opportunities for innovators to find new and improved ways of using wireless spectrum Reed-Hundts-Hunt ?
Of course, I shouldn't be too hard on the authors. After all, the economics profession only began to model innovation in the past 20 years or so. For the previous 200 years, innovation was lumped in with other "exogenous" factors, i.e. factors that didn't fit the model.

Spending Strength
prudentialgraces	Uncategorized	 January 19, 2020
Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The LORD called me before I was born, while I was in my mother's womb he named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the LORD, and my reward with my God."
And now the LORD says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and my God has become my strength – he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."
Isaiah 49:1-6, excerpt from Isa 49:1-7, lectionary for January 19, 2020
Another week in one of Isaiah's 'servant' texts. Last week the LORD was the speaker. We read and saw God as if gesturing to an audience, saying, 'See — my servant!' (Isa 42:1), then turning and addressing the chosen one directly: 'I have called you … I have given you' (Isa 42:6). This week the servant — first spoken of, then spoken to — becomes the speaker: 'The LORD called me … said to me …' (Isa 49:1, 3). Not every word is the servant's own — the LORD is quoted — but the LORD's words are recited in the voice of the servant, who recalls and repeats words first addressed to him: 'I will give you as a light to the nations …'.
But whose voice is the servant's?
I wonder this every week as I read. What license do I have to take the words of scripture as addressed to me, an individual? How can I appropriate them to my own need when they were spoken to and for and gathered by a community of faith? Should I not always search the words of the Bible for the Word of the LORD given to the collective, God's guidance to the public 'We' of the community, persons gathered across space and time, not just the personal 'I'?
In whose voice — for whose need — should I read? In whose voice does the servant speak? Is the servant a community ('You are my servant, Israel')? Is the servant an individual (one formed in the womb to gather Israel in)? How can Israel gather Israel? Perhaps this puzzle is itself a cue to a solution? After all, if the text can so persistently blend and blur the identity of community and individual so that the servant's identity is more 'both/and' than 'either/or,' is that not license for me to do the same? To say this text is to me and not only to me. To say I can only understand it to the extent I can read my own life through its lens — and it through my own life. And to say it can only be understood to the extent that it is read and lived in community.
The curve encompassed by this passage is experienced by individuals and by communities: the conviction of failure, of having spent one's strength to no avail. Is that not an implicit disappointment in the LORD who had called so beguilingly in the first place?
(My mouth made like a sharp sword; my face flint-firm; my stance solid on a sure foundation — Wait! It is wobbling underfoot! I throw out my arms to regain my balance. And I wonder anew.)
Read the arc of it how you will: individual or community. Both pursue calling. Both make decisions about missions and buildings and relationships. Both look up to wonder if they/we/you/I are adrift after all, somehow off-target to the understood goal. Both ask for what has that strength been poured out?
This wobble — the speaker's worry that labor has been wasted — is where the text turns, the arc sharpens. In v.4 the servant mourns his strength all spent; in v.5 the servant claims God his strength — and in this renewed sense of relationship and possibility (not just God calling the servant 'mine' but the servant using the possessive pronoun of God) — comes a new insight. The servant's fear of failure is borne of mistaking a waypoint for the end goal. The servant Israel has thought in terms of Israel alone. The servant (he/I/you/we) was focused on this particular and mistook it for God's whole. But the LORD says Oh, Israel is too light a thing — I am sending you to the world. To the world.
Is that the lesson? It is too slight a thing for me to gather just myself (for a community to consolidate just its own existence) — yet even that too-small burden is beyond my capacity. Stop spending my own strength. Spend, instead, the strength of the one who called me and formed me and gave me to go. To the world.
And in being given, and going out, may I find myself (may you find yourself; may we find ourselves) gathered in with all the nations, as God's salvation reaches the ends of the earth.

Stella McCartney Releases First Vegan Leather Bag Made From Mushrooms
Image Source: Stella McCartney
The world's first-ever bag made from Mylo, a vegan mushroom leather, made its debut on the runway.
Luxury fashion brand and Icon Stella McCartney created the bag, the Stella McCartney Frame.
It first appeared in the Paris Fashion Week as part of the brand's Summer 2022 collection presentation this week. The show's main message was that 'mushrooms are the future of fashion, a stated Stella McCartney in a press release.
Mylo is animal-free leather made from mycelium. Mycelium is a network of intertwined fungal threads, essential to the ecosystem and infinitely renewable.
Bolt Threads a technological material company engineered mycelium into a material, later named Mylo.
Mylo is certified bio-based, which means all its ingredients are found in nature. It's soft, flexible, and has the appearance of real leather.
Researchers developed Mylo by reproducing mycelium in a lab using decaying leaves, bark, or compost, water, air, and 100 percent renewable energy. The process takes a few days, rather than the years it takes to produce animal leather.
A Stella McCartney press release noted that it takes to produce a kilogram of leather 17,000 liters of water are used.
Stella McCartney's new Frayme bag features the vegan Mylo, a recycled aluminum chain strap, and a zamac medallion.
"For my Summer 2022 collection, I was so inspired by fungi and their incredible potential for saving our planet – and the Frayme Mylo embodies that hope for the future,"
"Our long-time partners at Bolt Threads and I have a shared passion for material innovation and launching a luxury handbag made from Mylo mycelium leather is a landmark moment not only for us, but the world. What you see on the runway today is the conscious fashion industry of tomorrow,"
Stella McCartney,
Dan Widmaier, Founder, and CEO of Bolt Threads said Mylo was created as growing demand for environmentally friendly materials.
Stella McCartney debuted its first vegan luxury bag in 2009 named the Falabella tote. Since then the company sold more than one million pieces, preventing the deaths of an estimated 400,000 cows.
"It's the future of all of us, otherwise we have no future," McCartney said.
"I'm hoping it's the future of fashion, I'm desperately trying to open everyone's minds to a different way of working. And I'm trying to show that there's no less luxury in what I present in my shows and there's no less durability and desirability."
Speaking about mycelium, McCartney explained how scientists can mix the final product into various directions. For example, mycelium materials can be created to be thicker or thinner, or they can be sprayed onto other fabrics.
"You can play around, there's so much you can do," she said. "It's at the forefront really of the new tomorrow of fashion I hope"

Marlins fans showered outfielder Giancarlo Stanton with praise Sunday after his final at-bat of the 2017 season in an 8-5 loss to the Braves.
Stanton entered the game with 59 home runs. He was trying to become just the sixth player in MLB history to reach the 60 HR milestone, but he ended the game a quiet 2 for 5 to tie Babe Ruth for ninth place on baseball's single-season homers list.
While walking to the dugout for the final time this season, Stanton was met with a standing ovation from fans. He then came out for a curtain call.
Stanton's 132 RBIs this season were most in MLB. He won the National League home-run title by 20 over Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger, and he hit seven more home runs than Yankees slugger Aaron Judge to claim the MLB home-run title as well.
The Marlins never really threatened for a postseason bid this season, but Stanton will likely still get NL MVP votes for his unrivaled numbers.


The Microsoft Band is a wearable fitness tracker that you can wear like a bracelet. It tracks steps, monitors your heart rate and sleep patterns, and communicates with mobile apps that can run on Android, iOS, or Windows Phone devices.
Launched late last year, the Microsoft Band was designed to work with a Microsoft health app or a few third-party apps including RunKeeper and MyFitnessPal. But soon you may be able to use more apps and services with the band.
Microsoft has launched a Developer Preview of a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Microsoft Band.
At launch, the SDK is available for Android and Windows Phone. An iOS SDK is listed as coming soon.
Microsoft says the tools will let developers extend the experiences of their mobile apps to a user's wrist-worn device by sending data back and forth between the Band and a smartphone. Apps can use data collected by the Microsoft Band's sensors, or send user interface elements to the band so that users can interact with apps without looking at their phones.
Developers have access to the band's hear rate, skin, and motion sensors, among other things, and the SDK involves tools for creating tiles that display app notifications on the Band itself.
Microsoft plans to roll out additional updates about once every month.

Hillary Clinton rakes in Verizon cash while Bernie Sanders supports company's striking workers
Verizon paid Hillary $225,000 for speech and poured money into Clinton Foundation. Executives give to her campaign
By Ben Norton
Published April 13, 2016 8:45PM (EDT)
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders (Reuters/Brian Snyder/Photo montage by Salon)
In some ways, it would hard for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to be more different.
Hillary Clinton, a Wall Street-backed multimillionaire, served for six years on the board of directors of Walmart, the world's largest company based on sales. She remained silent at a time when the mega-corporation was viciously cracking down on workers' attempts to unionize.
Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, has been unflinching in his support of the labor movement. Sanders has spoken passionately in support of striking Verizon workers on multiple occasions.
The Hillary Clinton campaign, meanwhile, has received tens of thousands of dollars from Verizon executives and lobbyists.
That's not all. For a May 2013 speech, the corporation paid Clinton a whopping $225,000 honorarium, according to her tax records.
Verizon has also given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation, which investigative journalist Ken Silverstein has referred to as a "so-called charitable enterprise [that] has served as a vehicle to launder money and to enrich family friends."
Moreover, the Clinton Foundation has partnered directly with Verizon, which is notorious for its vehement opposition to unions. The corporation is a partner in the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, and said it is "proud to partner with the Clinton Foundation."
Journalist Zaid Jilani reported in AlterNet in October, when Sanders spoke in support of a Verizon strike, that the corporation's executives and lobbyists had poured money into Clinton's campaign or PACs.
Three Verizon vice presidents each donated $2,700 to Hillary for America. They were joined by a senior vice president and another vice president, who gave an additional $1,000.
A former Hillary Clinton operative who now lobbies for Verizon donated $2,700 as well, along with another Verizon lobbyist who pitched in $1,000.
While Clinton's campaign is receiving Verizon cash, Sanders is delivering powerful impromptu speeches physically on Verizon workers' picket lines.
"Today, you are standing up not just for justice for Verizon workers; you're standing up for millions of Americans who don't have a union," he proclaimed at a New York City strike on April 13.
Sanders continued: "On behalf of every worker in America, those facing the same kind of pressure, thank you for what you are doing. We're gonna win this thing!"
Clinton's campaign released a statement of tepid support for the employees, stating "Verizon should come back to the bargaining table with a fair offer for their workers." But her paltry remarks were overshadowed by Sanders' heartfelt speech.
This was not the first time Sanders stood with striking Verizon workers. In October, the Vermont senator and self-declared democratic socialist marched alongside them.
"I am hopeful you will reach a fair contract," Sanders said at the time. "But if you run into roadblocks, as in years past, know that I will be there with you until a fair contract is negotiated."
Roughly half a year later, Verizon workers were back on the picket line, and Sanders was there to back them.
"Verizon is one of the largest, most profitable corporations in this country, but they refuse to sit down and negotiate a fair contract," Sanders declared in his April 13 speech.
Sanders called Verizon "just another major American corporation trying to destroy the lives of working Americans."
What was left out of many media reports on the story, however, is that this very corporation has been overwhelmingly supportive of Clinton, to whom it has close ties.
Aside from the tens of thousands Verizon executives and lobbyists have given to the Clinton campaign and pro-Clinton PACs, the Clinton Foundation has worked directly with Verizon.
In 2012, the Clinton Foundation announced the launch of the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, in partnership with Verizon — along with GE and the Tenet Healthcare Corporation.
"We are proud to partner with the Clinton Foundation on this innovative and potentially life-changing initiative," declared Peter Tippett, chief medical officer and vice president of Verizon's health IT practice.
"As the Foundation's technology provider, we believe we can empower individuals to take better care of their health. We have barely scratched the surface on using technology to improve health and well-being and reduce medical costs," the Verizon executive wrote.
The corporation's rhetoric reflects the individualistic, neoliberal economic ideology that the Clintons have endorsed for decades.
"Our work with the Clinton Foundation is just one more example of how we are bringing our vision to life," the Verizon vice president said in 2012.
Verizon is one of many corporations and organizations on the 2013 Clinton Health Matters Initiative list of commitments, which totaled more than $100 million in investments.
The corporation noted that it was partnering with the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, or CHMI, "to drive a co-branded public awareness and engagement strategy."
In a Verizon news report after the Clinton Foundation's 2013 Health Matters conference, the corporation additionally indicated that it provided "the technology infrastructure to support the CHMI web portal, including application development, cloud storage and high-speed connectivity."
This is by no means the only tie to Verizon.
In 2013, the Clinton Foundation held a forum on employee "effectiveness" and wellbeing. The organization noted that forum attendees included "executives from large and innovative employers including Verizon, Humana and Microsoft, among others."
Verizon was also one of the corporations participating in the Clinton Global Initiative America program, which the organization says brings together business and civil society leaders together "to develop and highlight ideas for spurring economic growth and creating jobs."
In 2014, the Clinton Foundation published an article insisting that such corporate "partnerships are key to tackling global global rise in non-communicable diseases."
"By working with partners at the national level, such as Verizon and Nike, and partners and stakeholders at the community level, such as GE in Houston and the PGA TOUR in Northeast Florida, we have made great strides in advancing our vision," the organization wrote.
While Sanders works with grassroots organizations like unions and stands with the workers themselves, the "New Democrat," of which the Clintons are the progenitors and the embodiment, rubs shoulders with big business.
This critical distinction is reflected in the respective longtime contributors to past campaigns of the two presidential candidates.
According to data collected by the watchdog NGO Open Secrets, 18 (90 percent) of the top 20 contributors to Hillary Clinton from 1999 to 2015 were corporations or firms that provide services to corporations.
On the other hand, 19 (95 percent) of the top 20 contributors to Bernie Sanders from 1989 to 2015 were unions.
Perhaps this is not surprising given the Clintons' history. On their first date, in fact, Bill and Hillary crossed a picket line.

Last weekend President Donald Trump addressed the nation in arguably one of the most anticipated State of the Union addresses. Following the "blue wave" of the 116th Congress' newly elected Democrats, Trump's address focused on bipartisan efforts, saying: "Hopefully we will govern not as two parties but as one nation." He, and many others in the chamber, stood out amongst the female senators and congresswomen, wearing white in solidarity commemorating the suffragettes that fought for women's right to vote a century ago.
The bulk of his speech emphasized immigration reform, expansion of the middle class, and boasting improved rates of employment and economic growth. In comparison, he briefly discussed proposed healthcare legislation, hoping to "reduce the price of…prescription drugs." This may be referencing the recently proposed legislation from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, aiming to remove hidden costs from medication. Surprisingly, Trump did acknowledge the importance of "price transparency" for prescription drugs and urged Congress to tackle this issue. Abruptly following that, he called for an end to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, touting America's progress in its research. Although he addressed the issue, he did not take the time to explain any specific policy proposals. Various HIV/AIDS advocacy groups had their own responses to his plan, from calling it "bold" to outlining a list of necessary resources to reach this goal.
This chart shows the budget for HIV the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received from 2014 to 2017.
After the address, former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams led the Democratic Party's response with a speech of her own. She stressed the love that she has for her country and acknowledged the work that needs to be done for "the millions of people" that expect more from the legislators that serves them. Abrams called for health system reform, claiming that they will "…commit to expanding healthcare." The speech was brief and did not cover much in the realm of healthcare reform or policies, but it was a push against the Trump administration.
The president made some strong, though brief, healthcare related claims during the address. It will be interesting to see how these ideas impact drug prices, HIV/AIDS research and prevention, abortion policies, and the opioid crisis.

Die evangelische Dorfkirche St. Levin (auch: Schlosskirche Harbke) ist eine Saalkirche des 16. Jahrhunderts in Harbke im Landkreis Börde in Sachsen-Anhalt. Sie gehört zum Kirchspiel Hötensleben im Kirchenkreis Egeln der Evangelischen Kirche in Mitteldeutschland und ist für ihre wertvolle barocke Orgel bekannt.

Geschichte und Architektur
Die Schlosskirche Harbke wurde 1572 als schlichter Rechteckbau auf den Grundmauern eines älteren Bauwerks in der Nähe von Schloss Harbke erbaut und in den Jahren 1718/1719 durch einen Westturm mit geschweifter Haube und kleiner Laterne erweitert. An der Südseite der Kirche befindet sich ein vermauertes Portal mit dem Erbauungsjahr und dem Wappen derer von Bartensleben und von Veltheim. Die Segmentbogenfenster wurden wohl gleichzeitig mit dem Westturm eingebrochen.

Das Innere ist trotz der barocken Fenster relativ dunkel und wird von einer dreiseitigen Empore eingefasst. An der Südseite des Chores ist eine Herrschaftsloge eingebaut, die am älteren Teil auf das Jahr 1593 datiert ist und mit kannelierten Pilastern, Wappenschmuck und Bibelsprüchen versehen ist und am jüngeren Teil aus der Zeit um 1720 gemalten Wappenschmuck zeigt. Der Raum ist mit einer flachen Balkendecke mit Stuckierungen der Spätrenaissance geschlossen, die kleinteiligen, mit Modeln gepresstem Dekor (Löwen mit Wappen, Hirschjagden, Masken, Sterne und weitere Symbole) zeigen.

Setzungen am Turm infolge des Braunkohlentagebaus in der Umgebung führten zu einer Gefährdung von Kirche und Orgel, die eine Restaurierung mit Unterstützung der ZEIT-Stiftung in den Jahren 2000–2007 notwendig machte.

Ausstattung
Der geschnitzte Altaraufsatz ist mit einem Abendmahlsbild zwischen Säulen, Ohrmuschelwangen und einer Inschriftkartusche von 1676 darunter versehen. Hinter dem Altar ist eine hölzerne Empore mit einer zierlichen Balusterbrüstung angebracht. Die geschnitzte Kanzel mit Wappenschmuck derer von Veltheim und von Saldern ruht auf einer schlanken kannelierten Säule und ist mit der Jahreszahl 1591 datiert.

Zahlreiche Epitaphe und Grabsteine der Familien von Veltheim und von Engelbrecht sind erhalten. Hervorzuheben ist das Epitaph des Achatius von Veltheim († 1588) und seiner Frau Margarethe von Saldern († 1615), das einen reichgeschnitzten architektonischen Aufbau mit Roll- und Beschlagwerkornamentik mit einem Relief mit der Auferstehung in der Mitte zeigt, das von lebensgroßen ganzfigurigen Bildern der Verstorbenen gerahmt ist. Weiterhin zu erwähnen ist das Epitaph des Hembo von Veltheim († 1681) mit einem Bildnis des Verstorbenen, das von Pilastern und Wappenschmuck gerahmt ist. Das Epitaph der Katharina von Engelbrecht († 1600) aus Sandstein zeigt die nahezu freiplastisch dargestellte Verstorbene vor dem Kruzifix kniend. Das Epitaph für eine Tochter des Heinrich von Bülow († 1602) aus Sandstein mit Alabasterreliefs zeigt in der Mitte in einer Rundbogennische die Auferstehung der Tochter des Jairus und im Aufsatz die Auferstehung Christi; die figürlichen Darstellungen sind ebenso wie die reiche ornamentale Rahmung mit Masken, Engelköpfen und Fruchtgehängen von besonderem künstlerischem Wert und wurden im Jahr 2001 restauriert. Unter den figürlichen Grabsteinen aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert ist besonders derjenige des Achatius von Veltheim († 1588) von besonderem Wert; der Verstorbene ist mit Rüstung in einer rundbogigen Nische mit Wappenrahmung dargestellt.

Orgel
Die Orgel ist ein Werk von Christoph Treutmann aus dem Jahr 1722 mit 22 Registern auf zwei Manualen und Pedal. Sie enthält Pfeifenmaterial einer älteren, einmanualigen Orgel von Gottfried Fritzsche aus dem Jahr 1622. Der Prospekt ist mit geschnitzten Akanthuswangen versehen, das Rückpositiv ist in die Brüstung der Empore eingebaut. Die Orgel wurde bis zum Jahr 2007 durch Jörg Dutschke und die Orgelwerkstatt Wegscheider restauriert. Die Disposition lautet:

 Koppeln: I/II, II/P
 Nebenregister: Tremulant, Cimbelstern, Calcant
 Spielhilfen: Ventil ins Hauptwerk, Ventil ins Rückwerk

This Japanese term translates to "things-in-a-pot" and refers to a category of communal one-pot meals that are popular in Japan, particularly during cold weather. Ingredients are prepared in bite-size portions in advance, then cooked at the table in broth or oil. With some dishes, ingredients are added one at a time and when the dish is ready it's served family style. With other dishes, participants actually cook their own food in the hot liquid or oil, much like a fondue Bourguignonne. Various condiments and sauces are served to flavor the just-cooked foods. See also chirinabe; mizutaki.

Nuyens to skip Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne
Hoping for better health and better luck in 2011 campaign

Nick Nuyens will skip the opening weekend of Belgian races in 2011 after the Saxo Bank-SunGard newcomer was persuaded by Bjarne Riis to ease himself into the new season.
Nuyens to ride Classics for Saxo Bank if Cancellara leaves?
Nuyens signs with Saxo Bank for two years
Contador attends first Saxo Bank-SunGard camp
The 30-year-old will skip the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (February 27) and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne the next day.
"It is perhaps surprising that will not ride the opening weekend," Nuyens told Sporza. "With this we avoid risks such as illness. Last year was a bad experience." This spring the Belgian suffered from injuries and illness, and barely rode in the Classics.
"Riis understands this is painful for me, but I opted for a fresh start and I just decided to follow Riis. We'll see where it takes me."
After two years with Rabobank, Nuyens is making a new start with Saxo Bank-SunGard, but the team has had so many new faces, that it too is making a new start.
"They are not starting from scratch, but they do want change. There are not only many new riders, but the framework has also been updated."
There is no doubt for Nuyens that Riis is firmly in charge of things. "A man with much charisma," said Nuyens. "When he takes the floor, it is silent."
The team has just finished its first training camp in Fuertaventura. They not only windsurfed and kite surfed, but also had "three Danish circus performers who came over and taught us some tricks, like a human pyramid."
"We also had a lot of fun. You must leave your intellect out and get to know each other best," he continued. "Actually you stand there with a lot of adults being silly, but one way or another it creates a bond. It was very nice."


WoodenBoat is the bi-monthly magazine for wooden boat owners, builders, and designers. Unlike any other periodical in our field, we are devoted exclusively to the design, building, care, preservation, and use of wooden boats, both commercial and pleasure, old and new, sail and power. We work to convey quality, integrity, and involvement in the creation and care of these craft, to entertain, to inform, to inspire, and to provide our varied readers with access to individuals who are deeply experienced in the world of wooden boats.
WoodenBoat publishes approximately 60 feature articles a year, from many parts of the world. Many are unsolicited, submitted by both amateur and professional writers. Our primary interest is to publish informative material, so writing style is secondary when we consider an article for publication. Obviously, our ideal manuscript is informative and smoothly written, but we're willing to do some work to help make it so.
We'll consider your ideas in all forms—from a short query to a detailed outline, from a rough draft to a finished manuscript. Our preference is to receive a detailed article proposal or outline accompanied by a sampling of images that will be available for illustrations. We can then advise whether we would be likely to publish the proposed article, and we can occasionally make your job easier by suggesting information or illustration sources and by asking for certain details that would make the article more acceptable. Do not e-mail your proposal to us; we prefer that you use the the submission form on our web site, but we'll also consider ideas via postal mail.
Since our magazine is published for professionals and amateurs alike, our featured articles usually explore subjects in great depth. To gain a better understanding of the types of articles we tend to publish, take a careful look at a few recent issues of the magazine. Please understand, however, that we welcome other ideas and approaches, and encourage you to share your thoughts on creative and innovative projects.
Some history of the builder or the boatyard.
Names of any famous boats or types of boats developed there.
Number of builders and carpenters employed, and number of apprentices, if any.
Delivery schedules and costs for boats built.
Design modification and/or drafting capabilities available at the yard.
Specific design or drafting experience of the builder or draftsman.
Lumber storage and drying facilities; capacity in board feet, and the quality of the facility.
Primary types of lumber used in construction; e.g., red or white oak for keels and frames, fir or cedar for planking, and teak for decks and trim.
Be specific with names of wood types; e.g. Philippine mahogany, Honduras mahogany, hard pine (Southern yellow, longleaf, etc.), or teak, etc. And, where possible, give the technical Latin name.
Where does the builder get his lumber? What does he think about the availability of boatbuilding lumber?
Types of fastenings used, such as wood screws, boat nails, copper rivets, etc.; and what metals, such as bronze, Monel, wrought iron, galvanized steel, etc., are used.
Types of glues used in the permanent joining of wood, such as resorcinol, epoxy, or older and more traditional glues.
Types of bedding compounds; are they oil based, or are they the more modern two-part mixes like Thiokol (polysulfide) compounds?
Special boatbuilding techniques or suggestions.
Types of finishes used; some builders finish entire boats with linseed oil, while others use oil-based paints and varnishes, and still others use the epoxy- or polyurethane-based paints.
Does the builder use wood preservatives? How does the builder build long life into his boat?
If you're writing about an amateur boatbuilding project, we'd like an article that explains how you figured out the tasks at hand and executed them correctly, rather than a litany of errors followed by an account of how you bailed yourself out.
The possibilities for how-to articles on individual projects are limitless—our readers like to learn how to make their own tools, spars, oars, rudders, tillers, grabrails, hatches, hanging lockers, hardware, and more. They're also interested in learning how to repair their own boats and in exploring not only the methods, but the economics, too.
We welcome general-interest material on types of boats or on particular boats as long as substantial detail is available. This material could focus on the evolution and impact of the craft, as well as its construction. Other general-interest material could include features on boatbuilding schools, cooperatives, the evaluation and analysis of products, materials, tools, books, and more.
We're interested in the use of wooden boats as well. We'll consider information about seamanship, rigs, and uses for types of boats (who's found the perfect pocket cruiser?). We do not publish fiction or poetry, and our acceptance of cruising tales is rare; we just don't have the space.
"Currents" is a column of news and short articles published in each issue of WoodenBoat magazine. "Eclectic" best describes its contents, which run the gamut from straight news concerning all aspects of wooden boat construction and ownership to news about museums, magazines, books, organizations, events, maritime preservation and politics, interesting products, tools, and people.
"Currents" is edited by Tom Jackson, who obtains his information from various sources. Few of these sources are professional journalists; most are enthusiasts who enjoy sharing news about the goings-on in their area.
The best way to contribute to "Currents" is to send a short query. Following that, we may request a finished report, or research the topic ourselves; the approach depends on the nature of the story. For the initial contact, the "who, what, when, where, and why" are sufficient. You may submit notes, letters, news clippings, tear sheets, brochures, or anything that clarifies the topic. Because of space limitations, succinctness is an imperative. Photographs and line art are helpful but not necessary.
All material is credited to its source, and published contributions are acknowledged and paid for upon use. Payment is based on the form and complexity of the submission. For example, we pay $5 for a newspaper clipping; $10 to $15 for a newspaper clipping with a few words of comment from the contributor; $20 to $25 for a moderately detailed report. Short features are paid for on a per-word basis. Photographs and line art are paid for at the rate of $15 apiece.
We seek all manner of boat plans (traditional and radical) for our "Designs" column. If you would like to have your work considered for publication, please send reduced photocopies (8 1/2 x 11″ or 11 x 17″) of the complete drawings, specifications, and designer's commentary to Mike O'Brien, Designs, here at WoodenBoat.
As we cannot return unsolicited material, please do not send us your original drawings. Plans that we don't publish immediately will be placed in our files for future consideration.
Text — Most of our articles run from 1,000 to 4,000 words. We prefer that your initial query be s short (500 or so words) description of your article. If you've completed a lengthy manuscript, please send it via postal mail, as our submission form is limited to 2,000 words. If you mail material to us, please know that every reasonable care is taken with contributions, but we are not responsible for damage or loss of your material. Keep a copy of your manuscript, and a list of all submitted material. Be sure to enclose a return envelope with sufficient postage if you wish us to eventually return your material.
Photos — We like to see a sampling of images when you send us an article proposal.
Generally, when evaluating photographs, we consider how well a photograph tells the story, as well as its basic composition and design. If you're taking your own photos of a project, plan them carefully to be as clear and instructive as possible. Think picture-on-the-page when you look through the viewfinder. Shoot only what you want your readers to see—move the patio furniture, hoses, garbage cans, cars, and smiling relatives. If you're photographing the whole boat, be sure the bow doesn't get lopped off—or the top 6″ of the sail. If you're shooting on the water, take care to keep the horizon level so the boat and the ocean aren't going uphill. Many of the beautiful photos you see on the pages of WoodenBoat were taken by amateurs who paid attention to these kinds of details.
If you have old photographs that complement a historical article, we'd like to see them (or clear scans of them), even if the quality isn't top-notch. Our graphics department can work wonders sprucing up copies of antique photos.
Be sure your name and address are on each slide or photo. And please tell us the name and address of the person who took each photo so that we can give credit properly. We are not responsible for loss or damage; therefore, non-digital photographic material should be sent via certified or registered mail to minimize the risk of loss or damage in transit. If you would like any special precautions taken with the handling or return of your material, please make these arrangements with our Art Director.
If you don't have photos or drawings to illustrate your article, don't give up. We work with a number of talented photographers and illustrators who are happy to take assignments.
Your Biography — We would like to know about you. Tell us what you do, what current project you're involved in, what you plan for the near future that might be of interest to WoodenBoat readers—whatever you wouldn't mind seeing in print about yourself.
It takes us a lot of time to consider all the material that comes into our office each day. We have a relatively small staff, and the task of reading through each manuscript takes time if it is to be carefully considered. We will acknowledge receipt of your editorial submission soon after its arrival, but we beg your patience until a decision can be made. Once accepted, articles may have a lengthy wait before being published. Because we are a bi-monthly, we must plan issues well in advance. We ask that you bear in mind the possibility of delays of up to eight months (if not more) before publication of some material.
When we've decided to publish your article, we'll ask you to sign a copyright statement. Copyright laws require that we obtain written permission from authors for the use of their material. This provides protection for you and grants us first world serial rights to your material.
Feature Text — $250–$300 per 1,000 words.
Professional Drawings and Illustrations — Depending upon the size and complexity of the work, payment for drawings ranges from $50 to $400.
We do not accept article proposals by e-mail.
Material directed to Mike O'Brien (Designs) or Tom Jackson (Currents) or Robin Jettinghoff (Launchings) can be flagged with their names.
Don't forget to put your own name and address on each piece of material, and please enclose a return envelope with sufficient postage.
If you are inclined toward writing or reporting, and understand the objectives of WoodenBoat, we hope you'll share your ideas with us.

The inequality level in India increases rapidly, close to colonial times
Bharat Dogra
One of the most important initiatives to be taken by any political parties in recent times, the 3570 km. Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, passing through 12 states and 2 union territories and spread over around 5 months, covering on average 22 km. in 6.5 hours every day, has raised high hopes at a time of increasing problems. This march of 118 Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi ( and others who will join at various points) has been discussed in media as being important for strengthening grassroots connectivity of the Congress Party, but its wider importance extends beyond this to strengthening communal harmony and national integration, one of the most important requirements for India to be great, for the 'idea that is India', yet something that has been increasing neglected in the recent years of majoritarian agenda of NDA/BJP regime.
The minorities, particularly the Muslim community, have been feeling increasingly insecure and apprehensive during the last 8 years or so. Among all weaker sections there is increasing economic distress and marginalization as the informal, unorganized sector workers and small entrepreneurs have taken one hit after another in the form of demonetization (an unmitigated disaster), flawed GST, lockdowns which were more stringent and prolonged than what was needed and arbitrary cuts in budgetary allocations for many programs meant for weaker sections (even as corporate taxes were reduced). Some of the highest recorded unemployment rates have been seen in these times. This has happened within a regime of extremely high and increasing inequalities—the ever growing fortunes of a select group of billionaires together with the increasing difficulties of the struggle for survival of millions. According to the latest World Inequality Report, the inequality level in India has increase rapidly in recent years to come close to colonial times, one aspect of the 75th anniversaty of independence which is never mentioned on official statements.
What is no less worrying is that the ongoing BJP/NDA agenda of privatization, crony capitalism and prioritization of big business interests appears set to further add to economic inequalities and marginalization of weaker sections. True, the government has in place several welfare schemes for weaker sections and keeps announcing new ones too, but the real benefits of these schemes are actually much less than what is publicized, and these cannot offset the reverses inflicted on the common people by the big business orientation of government policies.
As has been seen repeatedly in many countries and times, regimes which follow such economic policies in turn tend to follow a majoritarian agenda in which the problems arising from their policies can be blamed on sections of people, mainly religious or other minorities, and the anger or frustration of people can be diverted. Hence economic policies of inequality and exclusion are related to and are complemented by policies of social exclusion and victimization. Those who challenge this agenda must not just understand these linkages, they must be able to expose this.
This can only be done on the basis of continuing close contacts with the reality at grassroots. In this context a big effort such as the Bharat Jodo Yatra can be very helpful for Congress as well as the various other groups and individuals with broadly similar objectives who are cooperating in this yatra and its mobilization efforts.
To be able to realize the full potential of this yatra, it would be very useful to take care to give foremost attention to understanding the real needs of people, while spending only the minimal effort and time in the formal aspects. The country really needs to understand and evolve the program which can bring the most immediate relief as well as longer-term sustainable development to people, which can increase inclusiveness and equality in significant ways, and the Bharat Jodo Yatra can be helpful to this.
Communal discord has been one of the biggest causes of human distress in South Asia and the efforts to reduce this distress must be ever-continuing, not confined just to crisis situations. In this context Bharat Jodo Yatra should be seen as a big opportunity for promoting communal harmony. It is not just what is communicated in the course of the yatra that is important, but what these close consultations and dialogues achieve in terms of follow-up actions as well as constructive, creative ideas for work with continuity in future.
Several independent groups are very involved with issues like communal harmony but they may not have not had any opportunity to work with any wider, national level force.This yatra can provide an opportunity for linkages to be made among various groups to take further the cause of communal harmony and national integration, much more than what can be achieved without such linkages.

Although writing an autobiography is a trying occupation ( showing every one of the details briefly ), it might become a rewarding encounter eventually. This phase is referred to as peer review, and its own significance is really in letting others the opportunity to inflict his or her prejudices and judgments upon your composition.
Now it's simple to earn a plan. Moreover, you need to produce a plan how you compose the composition in the start to the ending. A training program is excellent for home schooling or personal instructing also. The plan need to be about 10 per cent of your real termpaper. In addition, your strategy ought to be thoroughly worked up for uncomplicated studying.


"There is no debate: President Engler has failed miserably"
In this March 5, 2009, file photo, former President of the National Association of Manufacturers is seen in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.
