All records shall be maintained for a period of 3 years and be made available for inspection, copying or audit on request of the department.
94.72(8) (8) Adulteration and misbranding.
94.72(8)(a) (a) No person may sell or distribute any feed product which is adulterated or misbranded.
94.72(8)(b) (b) A feed product is adulterated if:
94.72(8)(b)1. 1. It bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to the health of animals or which is unsafe within the meaning of section 406, 408 or 409 of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act, 21 USC 346, 346a and 348.
94.72(8)(b)2. 2. It is, or bears or contains any color additive which is unsafe within the meaning of section 706 of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act, 21 USC 376.

94.72(9) (9) Inspection. The department shall have free access during regular business hours to all places of business, mills, buildings, carriages, cars, vessels and parcels used in this state in the manufacture, transportation, importation, sale or storage of any feed product. The department may open any parcel containing or supposed to contain any feed product and take from the parcel in the manner prescribed in sub. (10) samples for analysis. The department may cause to be analyzed annually at least one sample so taken of every feed product found, exposed for sale or distributed in this state. Any feed product stored on the premises of a retail establishment shall be considered as being exposed for sale unless plainly labeled or placarded as not being offered for retail sale.
94.72(10) (10) Sampling, analysis. No action may be maintained for a violation of this section based upon an analysis of a sample from less than 10 separate original packages, unless there are less than 10 separate original packages in the lot, in which case portions for the official sample shall be taken from each original package. If the feed product is in bulk, portions shall be taken from not less than 10 different places in the lot but this does not exclude sampling in bulk when not exposed sufficiently to take portions from 10 different places, in which case portions are to be taken from as many places as practicable. If the sample procured is larger than is required, it shall be thoroughly mixed and quartered until a sample of suitable size remains. If requested the sample shall be divided into 2 parts, placed in suitable containers and sealed and one of the containers, if requested, shall be delivered to the person apparently in charge of the feeds. In sampling canned or small packaged goods, one entire can or small package is sufficient for examination. In sampling liquids or semiliquids a portion drawn from one container is sufficient for examination. The department shall analyze, or cause to be analyzed, the sample collected, and the result of the analysis, together with additional information as the department may deem advisable, shall be promptly transmitted to the manufacturer and to the dealer or person in whose possession the product was sampled, and shall be published annually. The manufacturer or person responsible for the placing of any commodity sampled upon the market or the dealer or person in whose possession the feed was found, upon request to the department within 10 days after the report is mailed, shall be furnished with a portion of the official sample. The methods of analysis shall be those in effect at the time by the association of official analytical chemists.
94.72(11) (11) Hearing. If it shall appear from the examination of any sample of feed or other evidence that any of the provisions of this section relating to accuracy of label statements have been violated, the department shall cause notice of such violation to be given to the manufacturer and the dealer from whom said sample was taken; any party so notified shall be given an opportunity to be heard under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the department. After such hearing, if it appears that any of the provisions of this section relating to accuracy of label statements have been violated, the department may certify the facts to the proper prosecuting attorney and furnish that officer with a copy of the results of the analysis or other examination of such sample, duly authenticated by the analyst or other officer making the examination, under the oath of such officer.
94.72(12) (12) Statistics. For the purpose of obtaining information bearing directly on the agricultural situation in this state each manufacturer or distributor selling commercial feeds to purchasers in this state shall submit on request of the department a confidential statement of total tonnage of differing brands or types of feed sold during any calendar year, the tonnage to be classified as requested by the department. If accurate information is not obtainable estimates shall be made.
94.72(13) (13) Authority. The department may:
94.72(13)(a) (a) Enforce the provisions of this section and prescribe and enforce administrative rules and regulations which shall be in harmony with the provisions of this section and the official pronouncements of the association of American feed control officials;
94.72(13)(b) (b) Temporarily order withdrawn from distribution any lot of a feed product if the department has reasonable cause to believe that it is being distributed in this state in violation of this section by serving written notice on the owner or custodian. A temporary order prohibits the distribution, movement or disposition of the feed product for up to 60 days after the service of the notice without the prior approval of the department pending further inspection, sampling or laboratory examination. If the department determines that the feed product is not being distributed in violation of this section after the inspection, analysis or examination, it shall immediately withdraw the order and promptly notify the owner or custodian. If the department determines that the feed product is being distributed in violation of this section, the department may extend the order by serving written notice on the owner or custodian. An extended order prohibits the distribution, movement or disposition of the feed product without the prior approval of the department. An extended order remains in effect until the final disposition of the feed is agreed upon or the feed is otherwise disposed of as the department authorizes or directs. If the final disposition is not agreed upon within 30 days after the service of notice of the extended order, the feed product shall be disposed of as the department by notice in writing may authorize or direct. Any order under this paragraph has the effect of a special order under s. 93.18 and is subject to the right to a hearing before the department if a request is received within 10 days after the service of the notice.
94.72(13)(c) (c) Cooperate with any agency of the United States government in the inspection of medicated feeds and establishments where such feed is manufactured.
94.72(13)(d) (d) Require persons manufacturing or distributing in this state any feed product to furnish the department with a label or facsimile thereof for the feed product sold or distributed by them.
94.72(14) (14) Penalty.

Hi. I have two elms, their age is about 10 years, and both have a similar problem: the central root isn't in the center, but on the side. These elms grew between the stones. I made a sketch of how this root looks out.
It will not be possible to completely remove it, because it's located on the side and there are no other roots in this place closer to the trunk. Therefore, I see two options for correcting this: the first is to split the thick root into two thinner parts and grafting roots closer to the trunk to them. This is a rather complicated procedure, besides, the result will still not be perfect, but there is a second option that makes me doubt: to make a ground layering above this root. It's a bit scary to remove a strip of bark around the trunk, because if ground layering isn't successful, the tree will die. I decided that it was possible to go a safer way (tourniquet method): pull the wire at the base as a tourniquet, so that it crashed into the bark, and cover this place with soil and sphagnum moss.
Which of the above methods is safer and more effective in this situation?
I think your analysis is spot on. I would ground layer using the ring cut method. Ground layers and air layers do not always turn out but i think it is a better option. But first i would prepare the tree with fertilizer and ensure vigorous growth. I have not tried the tourniquet method so cannot comment on that. lots of positive experience with ground layer and ring cutting approach. The only caveat, is that i am unsure of what type of Elm you are working with so that needs to be taken into account.
My first thought is to not disturb any of the current roots. It may be slower but also less risky to ground layer as Frank suggested. As to the thought that "layering" doesn't always work, my limited experience is that I've had much better luck with ground layering than I have with air layering.
Certainly, much is written concerning root grafting. Be sure to get good information on the failure rate before you make a decision.
This is a european elm. I'm faced with a choice, to do a lot of graftings around the thick root and then to remove it as much as possible, or to grow the new root system again.
I would grow the new root system, my preference is to spend time with trees that have high potential. Therefore i would only proceed with a tree that can have good nebari. The ground layer can work very well and is a simple procedure even if it takes some time. Fertilize the tree now and begin the ground layer in a month or so.

Workers at GM, Ford plants returning to the assembly lines
TOWN OF TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WIVB)–Employees at two major automakers are heading back to work today after production plants were shut down for two months.
It's the first day back for thousands of GM employees across the country and at the GM plant in the Town of Tonawanda, we're told it's the first shift that's starting.
That's only a fraction of its employees.
GM says their production is restarting in phases as employees get comfortable with the news safety protocols.
That includes answering questions and getting their temperature taken every day before they're able to go to their work station.
Both employees and visitors are now required to wear face masks.
Jim Glynn with GM says it'll take time for employees to feel comfortable with this new normal.
There are similar guidelines at Ford which is also restarting production at assembly plants this week.
Employees will get a care kit with face masks and other items.
There will be more time between shifts to limit employee interaction and allow more time for extra cleaning.
GM says there's no exact timeline as to when the next phase will begin.
These phases will be guided by the health and safety of their workers.

"I am compelled to return to the Board's reasons. Although lengthy, they were anything but clear. After participating in a long process, a complainant should not be at risk of having a finding of discrimination set aside because of a board's imprecise reasoning. Similarly, a respondent who has been found to have discriminated, is entitled to know what aspects of its behaviour attracted censure, so that those conclusions may be addressed remedially or meaningfully challenged on appeal, if so advised. Neither parties, this Court, nor those interested in a human rights decision should have to struggle to ascertain a board's intention."

There is no evidence of bad faith or abuse of power, and conduct on the part of government cannot be said to have been clearly wrong simply because this Tribunal determines, after the fact, that it is discriminatory."
Abbey v. Ontario (Community and Social Services) (No. 2), 2016 HRTO 787, CHRR Doc. 16-1287 at para. 191
"I am not satisfied, on the facts of this case, that an adjudicator appointed pursuant to the Code is a better fit for determination of the dispute. The issues raised in this case are matters that are routinely decided by labour arbitrators, involving determinations as to whether there was just cause to dismiss the complainant, whether the complainant breached the terms of the MOA, whether the complainant established a prima facie case of discrimination on the basis of disability, and if a case of prima facie discrimination was made out, whether the applicant established that it made reasonable efforts to accommodate the complainant to the point of undue hardship and/or the conditions it imposed were bona fide occupational requirements."
Northern Regional Health Authority v. Manitoba (Human Rights Comm.), 2016 MBQB 89, CHRR Doc. 16-3043 at para. 64
Human Rights Digest 17-5,July 2016
"The hearings in this matter were held in a spirit of reconciliation, with an overarching goal of maintaining an atmosphere of peace and respect. Respect for all involved was paramount and, given the nature of the case, respect for Aboriginal peoples not only participating in the proceedings, but also following the proceedings in person and on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. Fostering this atmosphere of peace and respect is of paramount importance considering the Tribunal's key role in determining fundamental human rights and in safeguarding the public's confidence in the administration of justice, especially for Aboriginal peoples.
In dealing with the remaining remedial issues in this case, we should continue to aim for peace and respect. More importantly, I urge everyone involved to ponder the true meaning of reconciliation and how we can achieve it. I strongly believe that we have an opportunity, all of us together, to set a positive example for the children across Canada, and even across the world, that we are able to do our part in achieving reconciliation in Canada. My hope and goal is that, for generations to come, people will look at what was done in this case as a turning point that led to meaningful change for First Nations children and families in this country. We, the Panel and parties, are in a privileged position to continue to contribute to this change in a substantial way.
On this journey towards change, I hope trust can be rebuilt between the parties. Effective and transparent communication will be of the utmost importance in this regard. Words need to be supported by actions and actions will not be understood if they are not communicated. Reconciliation cannot be achieved without communication and collaboration amongst the parties. While the circumstances that led to the findings in the decision are very disconcerting, the opportunity to address those findings through positive change is now present. This is the season for change. The time is now.
Finally, in keeping with the spirit of reconciliation and expediency in this matter, the Panel had hoped the parties would have met a few times by now and discussed remedies. Each party has information and/or expertise that would assist those discussions and be of benefit in resolving this matter more expeditiously. While the Panel was required to issue this ruling, it continues to encourage the parties to meet and discuss the resolution of this matter. As always, the Panel is available to assist and remains committed to overseeing the implementation of its orders in the short and the long term."

"I also find the applicant's miscarriage is a disability. I acknowledge that a miscarriage may be covered under the ground of sex or as an intersection of sex and disability. It also is not a common ailment, and it is certainly not transitory. It is clear from the applicant's testimony that she continues to experience significant emotional distress from the miscarriage even today."

"The Tribunal's reasons leading to his conclusion that APEGA could have accommodated Mr. Mihaly and others sharing his characteristics are rife with logical errors, findings of fact that are not supported by the evidence, and failures to take into account relevant considerations. From the Tribunal's unreasonable interpretation of the [EGP Regulation], to his unsupported assumption that the FE Exam disproportionately excludes foreign trained engineers from being registered with APEGA, to his failure to appreciate that demonstrated entry level engineering competence is reasonably necessary to safe practice as a professional engineer, and his failure to consider relevant factors in the assessment of undue hardship, it is clear that his conclusion regarding accommodation falls outside the range of acceptable outcomes that are defensible in light of the facts and law; and as such was unreasonable ..."

"In terms of ensuring reasonably comparable child and family services on reserve to the services provided off reserve, the FNCFS Program has a glaring flaw. While FNCFS Agencies are required to comply with provincial/territorial legislation and standards, the FNCFS Program funding authorities are not based on provincial/territorial legislation or service standards. Instead, they are based on funding levels and formulas that can be inconsistent with the applicable legislation and standards. They also fail to consider the actual service needs of First Nations children and families, which are often higher than those off reserve. Moreover, the way in which the funding formulas and the program authorities function prevents an effective comparison with the provincial systems."
"[T]he respondent store argued that Ms. Balachandra could not have racially profiled and discriminated against the applicant because she is also a racialized woman. Ms. Balachandra is South Asian. I disagree. In my view, it is not in dispute among well-informed, reasonable persons that racial stereotypes about persons of Black African descent exist in South Asian communities in both South Asia and Canada. Furthermore, South Asian individuals in Canada who hold such stereotypes and are in positions of power in employment, services or housing undoubtedly have the capacity to discriminate against Black individuals."
McCarthy v. Kenny Tan Pharmacy Inc. (No. 3), 2015 HRTO 1303, CHRR Doc. 15-1803 at para. 88 (Bhattacharjee)
"I have concluded that race-based stereotypes played a role and, in some cases, a significant role, in the BCVMA's dealings with the complainants, including negative generalized views about the credibility and ethics of Indo-Canadians in relation to their veterinary practices. I find there was clear evidence of such views held by persons of influence in the BCVMA, that the BCVMA was aware, or ought reasonably to have been aware of this, and that it largely ignored, and condoned, the expression of such views. The result was a poisoned relationship between the BCVMA and the complainants, which the BCVMA then blamed entirely on those individuals claiming that they were 'playing the race card'."

Poll: Most Americans Want Bathroom Access Decided By Biological Sex
February 27, 2017 By Bre Payton
A majority of Americans think bathroom access should be granted according to biological sex, according to a new poll by Crux/Marist College.
Of the 545 Americans adults surveyed, 56 percent disagree with the assertion that people who are transitioning into the appearance of the opposite sex should be legally allowed to use whichever bathrooms they want. Only 38 percent of respondents think they should be legally allowed to do so.
As for public schools, only 27 percent of respondents think transgender people should be allowed to use whichever bathroom or locker room they prefer, while 66 percent oppose the notion.
An overwhelming majority of Americans (80 percent) think doctors shouldn't be forced to perform a sex-change operation if it violates their religious beliefs.
In May, then-President Obama threatened to withdraw federal funding from religious hospitals unless they agreed to perform sex-change operations. The Obama administration also sent letters to every school district in the country mandating they open bathrooms, locker rooms, overnight travel, and showers to all students, regardless of biological sex or physical appearance. Last week, the Trump administration withdrew this Title IX regulatory rewrite and let local schools make their own decisions on the matter.

Trans Activist: It Isn't Fair That Women Still Have Periods While Living As Men
According to trans activists, transmen can menstruate and become pregnant but also require acceptance as men in all traditional male activities and social roles. How is this supposed to work?
In The Past 5 Years, The Transgender Explosion Has Wounded More And More People
What's changed in the last five years is the explosion in the number of children and adolescents diagnosed with gender dysphoria and the lack of help for them.
How Gender Fluidity Wrecks Both Feminism And Transgenderism
First transgenderism destroyed the meaning of womanhood. Now, gender-fluidity and non-binary have destroyed the meaning of transgender.
Bisexual Bathrooms Rob Women Of An Important Cultural Space
Women and girls deserve our own bathrooms, depend on them for privacy, and gain from them socially. We shouldn't have to justify that with harassment and assault statistics, or the fact that females and males are biologically different.
Transgender Demands Are An Attack On Real Human Rights
It is not a human right for a grown man with male genitals to shower next to girls at the gym; it is a human right for girls to say 'no' to this new brand of rape culture.


Assessing student experiences in real time is the focus of Voice of Campus (VOC), but can also include staff, faculty, and visitors to campus, such as prospective students or visiting scholars. Collecting feedback during or immediately after an experience permits correcting problems and leads to an opportunity to create a positive experience from one that started out less than positive. At other times the value is to have a longer time frame for the individual to reflect upon and provide feedback overall. Resources included here pertain to immediate feedback and future behaviors based on the immediate feedback. Reflection on experiences over a longer time frame, such as an entire academic year or academic career, would involve other methods such as the Survey of All Students (SAS), the Senior Exit Survey (SES), or surveys of alumni.

The G.Skill KM570 ΜΧ Mechanical Keyboard Review: Sturdy & Efficient
by E. Fylladitakis on August 4, 2017 8:00 AM EST
Cherry MX
Introduction, Packaging & Bundle The Keyboard Per-Key Quality Testing & Hands-On Final Words & Conclusion
The G.Skill KM570 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Due to its plastic body and understated design, an untrained eye can easily mistake the G.Skill KM570 MX for a typical <$30 office keyboard. In fact, visually it is not much different than the membrane-based Zalman K650WP $30 keyboard that we reviewed last year, with even the company logo printed at the same spot. A closer look however reveals that the KM570 MX has actual mechanical switches and that the plastic body of the keyboard hides the steel frame beneath the keycaps.
We received the US layout version of the G.Skill KM570 MX. It is a 108 keys keyboard that is compatible with the 104 keys ANSI layout, with four extra keys added to support extra functions. It has a 6.25× Spacebar and seven 1.25× bottom row keys. The company logo is etched on the Spacebar key. G.Skill took the classic approach with the keycap character etching and the secondary characters remain at the bottom half of the keycap where, as we will see later on, the light from the LEDs does not reach them.
Despite its classic design, the G.Skill KM570 MX has some support for advanced functions. Many of these are available via Fn keystroke combinations, with said Fn key replacing the right Windows key. Used in combination with the Fn key, the F1-F4 keys launch basic OS applications, F5 toggles on and off "game mode", which disables the Windows key, F6 toggles between 6 and n key rollover, and F9-F12 perform basic media playback actions. Three out of the four additional keys above the numpad offer direct sound volume controls, with the fourth key being the Macro Recording (MR) key. The MR key initiates the on-the-fly recording of keystroke macros and allows them to be stored into any key, replacing its original function.
The lighting effects of the keyboard are also controllable via keystroke combinations that include the Fn key. In that scenario, F7 changes the pre-programmed lighting effects, F8 allows for the programming of a basic custom profile that will illuminate only the keys specified by the user, and the arrow keys adjust the lighting effect speed and brightness.
Although it might be hard to tell from the pictures, the G.Skill KM570 MX is a rather tall keyboard. The tilt adjustment feet are tiny and hardly lift the backside of the keyboard, which is already high enough for comfortable typing even without unfolding them. It has a contoured design that should allow the fingers to comfortable reach each and every key.
As we mentioned above, the G.Skill KM570 KX has two tiny rear feet that barely lift the already very tall keyboard. It has five small anti-skid rubber pads attached, two very small round ones at the top corners and three longer ones across the lower side of the keyboard's bottom.
The removal of a few keycaps revealed a milky white steel plate and genuine Cherry MX switches. G.Skill produces the KM570 MX with either Red, Blue, Brown, or Silver (Speed) switches. Our version came with the Cherry MX Brown switches, which are relatively soft and provide quiet, tactile feedback. The keyboard is using Cherry's cross-type supports beneath the larger keys and the Spacebar key.
Even though there's only a single LED per switch, the white backplate of the KM570 MX creates a very nice, even visual effect. Our KM570 MX features only red LEDs, and that is one of the two main differences between it and the more advanced KM570 RGB. The keycap design however leaves the secondary/bottom character unevenly illuminated, which is a significant aesthetic dissonance, especially when it comes to the company's logo on the Spacebar key.
The removal of the plastic covers gave us a better look of the thick white steel frame. The main PCB of the keyboard is permanently attached to the steel frame, ensuring that the main parts of the keyboard are safe. Its plastic covers are also fairly thick and can survive a bit of punishment, but they scratch easily and are prone to fingerprints.
The heart of the G.Skill KM570 MX is a modern NXP LPC11U35F USB 2.0 microcontroller. It is not a powerhouse but it is a fairly good chip, sporting a Cortex-M0 50 MHz CPU and 64 kB of on-chip flash memory. Considering that the KM570 MX is a straightforward product that doesn't include advanced macros, software programming, or hardware/software profiling, this controller is more than sufficient.

Rubbish Bin (120lt) is about 60% full, Recycle Bin (240lt) is about 25% full.
I noted in my previous binimum entry that I wasn't sure whether I should include my workshop waste in the exercise, as that increases our load considerably. Well I have, and we are now 'over budget' with our hope to only fill one rubbish bin for the year, but it's still a posibility. As we adopt this approach as a way of life we find that we are reducing our rubbish more and more without effort.
One big change has been the amount of food that we preserve. This is a everyday part of our lives now. There always seems to be something sitting in a box ready to be bottled, jars ready to go to the cellar, fruit ripening in the sun, something bubbling away on the bench. It's a busy and rewarding life, no time for TV (although we do watch the odd movie). We find that we see containers as a valuable resource, gathering them from neighbours (as we don't buy them), rather than something to put into the recycling bin. In fact I wonder if we are going to suffer from a shortage of paper to start the fire - as we no longer buy the newspaper and don't accept junk mail.
We are finding that we are becoming more in tune with the seasons. Produce comes in waves, persimmons, feijoas and olives at the moment. Quinces have just finished and we had boxes of them to preserve - they are great stewed up on porridge. We don't actually grow these ourselves, but are given them or buy them in bulk when they are available - while we wait for our new fruit trees to mature.
We've been finding that drying food is the easiest way to preserve. Solar drying is great when the sun is out (and it's hot) - but a few cloudy days in a row can result in fruit going off (check the forecast first). Of course we can use our electric dehydrator, but the electricity use is excessive in my eyes, using 4-5 kWh to dry five trays of plums. As a comparison we use about 3kWh per day to run our household. I have found the electric dehydrator very useful to finish off fruit if the sun decides not to come out, preventing it from spoiling.
Homemade solar dehydrator full of fruit ready to dry - having it enclosed like this means that it can stay outside overnight.
We continue to buy food in bulk, recently purchasing 20lt of olive oil that was grown at a permaculture property called Murrnong in Violet Town, about 75km north east of here. We were invited to help with the olive harvest, in exchange for a share of the oil. The day that we were there was fun, with people from all ages and abilities getting involved - learning by doing. After being involved in the process we were keen to buy our supply for the year, direct from the farmer at a very reasonable price (not industrial organic either). The 20lt container can be cleaned and returned once it's finished for reuse.
A call from another friend, to pick some eating olives, has led us to some new preserving techniques. We are using two methods. The more mature olives are sliced and stored in a strong salt and water solution, mixed every day for one month. The harder green olives are crushed to remove the seed and soaked in a weaker brine, which is changed each day for a minimum of 10 days. Once ready, and the bitterness is removed, they will be stored in oil to exclude the air.
Murrnong - Harvesting olives for olive oil production using a 'net' that is wheeled under each tree. Plastic rakes are used to strip the fruit, which rolls into one of four areas.
Murrnong - once the olives have been 'drained' from their area on the net they are unloaded into fruit bins.
Olives (that we picked from a friends tree) being prepared for preserving using two methods. The darker (softer) ones are sliced and the green ones are crushed with a beer bottle to remove the seed. Salt is used to remove the bitterness.
I've been looking at building a solar dehydrator, but must admit the certainty of an electric unit seems reassuring if you're not going to lose a seasons harvest.
Having said that, I suppose there's always the option of preserving in jars if the sun didn't want to come out and play!
The expense of equipment is the biggest hurdle we're trying to overcome at the moment. Just one of those things.
Well done with the rubbish reduction. Looking forward to seeing how that concludes.
In case you don't know this, in Europe, Cuba, Mexico, etc., they make quince paste, which they serve for dessert with some mild cheese. In Mexico, after cooking I just dried it in the sun, as I was taught by my neighbour. It keeps forever. I wish we grew quince here so I could make it! Just google "quince paste" for a recipe.


Had an impromptu visit to the picturesque Castle Coombe today. Fabulous in the sunshine with miles of enticing paths in the surrounding woods. But most interesting today was watching the hundreds of tourists from all over the world and how they pose for photos. It really is all about the best shot; posing outside doors as if they lived there, catwalking down the middle of the street and, most amazingly, a group of teenagers who arrived in a hummer limo, dressed for clubbing, holding sweet 16 balloons, feather boa and a picture frame to really nail that shot. A different world to me entirely but a great people watching experience!


In an increasingly global economy, businesses have fewer boundaries than ever before, and must go where the opportunities are in order to survive, compete and grow. The rising importance of the Asia Pacific region is no secret—China and Japan boast the second- and third- largest economies in the world, with China expected to become the world's leading economic power sometime in the next two decades.
With that reality in mind, Vault.com has been surveying consultants at firms in the Asia Pacific region since 2010, and using their responses to rank consulting firms in the region across a variety of factors. Our Best to Work For rankings identify crucial quality of life areas, while our Practice Area and Prestige rankings are based on consultants' opinions of their competitors' abilities and appeal. And our Top Asia Pacific Consulting weights several of those individual factors to arrive at a ranking of the best firms operating in the region today. (Check out the full methodology here.
Whether you're an experienced consultant or someone weighing up your options for the first time, are in Asia already or are considering pursuing an international opportunity, these rankings—and the comments from the 500+ consultants who took the time to tell us about life at their companies—will be able to provide the kind of insight that will enable you to make a better, more informed decision about your future. For a summary of the rankings, read on. Otherwise, feel free to skip straight to the rankings themselves—and be sure to click through to the full profiles of any firms that interest you to find out more, including Vault's own verdict on each of them.
Bain & Company took the top spot in the Vault Asia Pacific Consulting Ranking, based on a complete dominance of the Best to Work For rankings, taking the top spot in all 26 categories. McKinsey also performed strongly in the Best to Work For categories, but really shined in the Practice Area Rankings, taking the No. 1 spot in four separate categories. Most importantly, McKinsey was once again named the Most Prestigious Consulting firm in the region by survey respondents.
Employees praised the culture at Bain & Company, with one insider offering practical advice to job seekers in the consulting sector: "Do not underestimate the importance of culture — how you get along with those you work with — this is very important in a high-pressure industry like consulting. Bain has by far the best culture of any of the 'Big 3'. Keep that in mind as you go about your search or decision-making process."
Another employee agreed that Bain has "the best culture in consulting — deep focus on clients, and even deeper on employees." Another Bain consultant expressed his overall satisfaction with the firm, saying, "Bain is without a doubt, the BEST place I could have started my career. What I have learned over the last four years (both soft and hard skills) far exceeds my peers at other consulting firms and in other industries."
Enjoying where you work is important, but prestige still matters to job seekers looking to have the biggest and best names on their resume. According to industry insiders, McKinsey & Company still reigns as the most prestigious firm in the consulting world, edging out Boston Consulting Group and Bain. The firm also performed strongly in the Practice Area Rankings, coming in at No. 1 for Management Consulting, Economic Consulting, Energy Consulting and Financial Consulting. Survey respondents stated that McKinsey provided "professionalism all the time," and called the firm "the benchmark," "global number 1," "boardroom leaders," and "best in class."

Countless websites promise to help you get abs fast. However, there is no secret to developing abs, and even the so-called "secrets" may not be as accurate. When trying to gain muscles, you can easily get caught up in marketing gimmicks and alluring advertisement. It is even hard to tell what works when there are lots of ads, complete with testimonials from celebrities.
When trying to get abs, what goes through your mouth is responsible for up to 90% of the results. Eating enough proteins will not only help your body gain lean muscle but also burn body fat. Eating up to 35 grams of protein will keep less hungry, and most importantly, trigger changes in hormones and brains signals that control appetite.
Gaining abs is does not necessarily involve watching your daily calorie intake. You will have to get rid of the fat that lies on top of your belly muscles so you can expose the muscles below them. Because enough makes you less hungry, it means you get the abs relatively faster.
There is a belief among most people that eating carbohydrates increase the fat levels in the body. However, this may not be correct especially if you're trying to get abs.
Of course, too much of any food will make you fat, but starchy carbs such as brown rice, and oatmeal can be beneficial when trying to get a six-pack. So, eat moderate portions combined with one or two servings of vegetables. The idea is to replenish your body with minerals, vitamins, and fiber as well as antioxidants it needs to function optimally.
Ensure that you take enough polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats including fish oil and raw nuts as well as nut butter. Eating healthy fats is essential as helps stabilize your insulin levels. Indeed, maintaining steady insulin levels is crucial when trying to get abs as it helps you lose belly fat and expose the abs.
By having lean protein, vegetables, and carbs, you will boost your metabolism and ensure that your body burns fats continuously throughout the day. Also, eating healthy fats ensure that you stay full for longer, which means that you will eat less often.
Multi-joint, compound and total body movements, help you lose more fat in comparison to sit-ups and crunches. Work your core muscles for at least 20 minutes twice or thrice every week. You may also include the following exercises into your workout regimen.
Do cardio as well because it helps burn fat. Combine it with abdominal exercises. If you are doing a treadmill or stationary bike, make sure you run for 30 minutes at your maximum speed.
Okay, clenbuterol is a bronchodilator, primarily indicated for asthma. More than that, it is a potent steroid that can help speed up your quest to get a six-pack.
For starters, it enhances your body's metabolic system and boosts your energy levels. The ripple effect is that you can endure extended training sessions. By extension, this implies quicker results.
There is a catch though – clenbuterol is a drug. In essence, this means that you have to know how to use it to get the best results. Keep in mind that in this case, you're not using it as a bronchodilator, but as a substance to help you get ripped.
Be sure to talk to your doctor about the side effects clenbuterol might have on your body. The last thing that you want is to experience severe aftereffects due to an overdose or improper usage of the drug. On that note, go to MyBodyLife blog to read more about clenbuterol and how you can integrate it with your training program. Don't forget to check out the different dosage cycles and what each means for your body.
Getting abs requires commitment and focusing on your exercise program. Even then, it doesn't have to be hard to acquire a six pack within a couple of months of serious training. Consider involving a trainer to guide you through a good program that will help you get ripped.
Also, you may seek a dietitian's advice on what to eat and the foods to avoid. Remember, just like any other fitness plan, training for abs requires that you eat a diet that will replenish your body with enough energy before and after sessions. When done right, it shouldn't take you more than six weeks to acquire a six pack.


Through My Eyes: A Night Up There.
I couldn't make it to attend the entire retreat this year, although initially I thought it was going to be possible since none from the Sales team took leaves.
Manatau, suddenly straight two of them took a whole week off and their case more important. Both already got flight tickets bought. One to Beijing and the other to Perth.
So, the best I could do is spend the second night there and leave early in the morning straight to work, which is exactly what I did.
Tiring, yes. Lack of sleep, definitely.
Worth it because it took my mind away from work and those laughter cured my headaches. Get to escape the heat down there for a while too.
Finding out our spiritual gifts. It's different than our natural talents.
Lesson learnt: Never put in not-that-hot-water into milo because it taste funny and un-milo. Just be patient and wait for the other kettle to boil. Just wait. Killed one lalat since it was buzzing around me like no one's business. Straight trapped it into my mug, only to realize that still got milo in there.
Supper time! Who opens cup noodles like that? Just poke through it with the thumb.
I hope you guessed it right before scrolling down. Haha. Actually, I was quite shocked with this "habit" of his. First time I see people open cup noodles like that. FIRST TIME. Oh and he's like so normal and proud of it. Me, I was at the verge of killing him! Okaylah, not that serious BUT I ALWAYS WANT TO OPEN THE LID NICELY SO IT WILL BE LIKE A PERFECT CIRCLE!
I can do these kind of things, attend the same old thing year in year out, go to the same place for the same reason and I will still have excitement in my heart.

Below is my component typescript file.

}

A: You have to change the order of your classes, then there is no problem to have multiple classes in the same file.
Cause in your case that decorator @Component is now being used for your class MyObject instead of MyComponent !
The decorator @Component needs to be directly in front of your Component definition!!
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

export class MyObject1 {
  id: number;

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',

export class MyComponent {
   obj: MyObject;

export class MyObject2 {

A: Here is how I fixed it:
Put the MyObject into a separated file and import him.
// MyObject.ts
export class MyObject {
  id: number;
}

// MyComponent.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MyObject } from 'path/to/MyObject';

Princeton University's Campus is Growing
Tiffany Published: April 7, 2021

According to Jersey Digs.com, Princeton University will meet with West Windsor's planning board today to expand Princeton University's campus. The plans are for a Lake Campus South of Princeton University off of Washington Road in West Windsor. They are planning to build a softball stadium, a resource building, and a parking garage. The pictures of what the new campus should look like look really cool. The meeting is set for tonight at 7pm to discuss the beginning stages of approval. The campus will be located about 1 mile from where the downtown Princeton area is.
Princeton University has such a gorgeous campus and I feel like we are so lucky to live so close to such an awesome and famous University. Before COVID, when the weather was nice, my husband and I would walk around Princeton, take pictures and just enjoy the ambiance. Now that things are getting better in the world and we have our vaccines, we definitely feel like we're ready to be out and about at our favorite places again. When PST moved from our office right off Route 1 in Princeton, we had heard that Princeton University bought our building and now it seems like there's truth to this rumor. It was pretty cool working so close to Princeton University, so it's not crazy to me that the University would expand into West Windsor. Pretty awesome!

Washington D.C's NFL franchise scored a big victory in its ongoing battle to preserve its racist name.
The case before the Supreme Court centered on an Asian-American band called The Slants, but their decision bolsters the Washington NFL team's fight to retain the trademark on its nickname, which was once used to refer to the bloody scalps of Native Americans.
In 2014, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) ruled that the Washington NFL team's name was "disparaging to Native Americans," and cancelled six of its federal trademark registrations. The team has been appealing that verdict ever since.
A district court in Virginia upheld the cancellation in 2015, and so the team appealed to the Fourth Circuit, which put the case aside while The Slants case—officially Matal v. Tam—was considered by the Supreme Court.
After the verdict was announced, the team and its brazen owner Daniel Snyder celebrated the newly endowed constitutional protections granted to their racist nickname.
But while the Slants and Washington NFL team have the Lanham Trademark Act in common, their cases differ in other ways — most notably, the Washington NFL team is not made up of Native Americans who are trying to reclaim an offensive name. Rather, it is owned and run by rich white men who are appropriating a slur and caricaturing a group of marginalized people for entertainment and exploitative purposes.
This SCOTUS ruling protects Washington's First Amendment right to do just that.
Considering Washington plays in a league that has shown absolutely no interest in preventing the team from using the name, there seems to be no end to the R**skins nickname in sight.
UPDATE: Change the Mascot, grassroots campaign that works to educate the public about the damaging effects on Native Americans arising from the continued use of the R-word, issued a statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling.
"If the NFL wants to live up to its statements about placing importance on equality, then it shouldn't hide behind these rulings, but should act to the end this hateful and degrading slur," Change the Mascot leaders National Congress of American Indians Executive Director Jackie Pata and Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter said.
"This is an issue we have always believed will not be solved in a courtroom, and this ruling does not change some very clear facts. Washington's football team promotes, markets and profits from the use of a word that is not merely offensive — it is a dictionary-defined racial slur designed from the beginning to promote hatred and bigotry against Native Americans," the statement continued. "This is a word that was screamed at Native Americans as they were dragged at gunpoint off their lands — and the hate-infused meaning of the word is precisely why this particular name was given to the team by avowed segregationist and first team owner George Preston Marshall.

Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. . . . They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
Now the queen . . . spake and said, O king, live for ever. . . . Let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, . . . if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour. . . . And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, . . . ; But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified. . . .

'Wake up!' Baroness Campbell's plea to disabled people over EU referendum apathy
By John Pring on June 9, 2016 Category: Activism and Campaigning
A leading peer has told disabled people to "wake up" to the reality that they could lose many of their hard-won rights if the UK votes to leave the European Union (EU) later this month.
In an impassioned plea, Baroness [Jane] Campbell (pictured) begged other disabled people not to abandon the EU, which she said acted as a "double lock" on disability rights.
She told Disability News Service (DNS): "At the moment, our rights are double-locked. If we leave the EU we can kiss goodbye to all the progress we have made on independent living, employment rights and access to information."
She was speaking after a seminar she chaired in parliament which examined the disability rights case for remaining in the EU.
The seminar was addressed by influential disabled campaigners and "remain" supporters including John Evans, one of the founders of the UK's independent living movement and a former chair of the European Network on Independent Living (ENIL); the crossbench peer Lord [Colin] Low, a former president of the European Blind Union; and Professor Anna Lawson, who heads the new Disability Law Hub at the University of Leeds.
There was frustration expressed during the seminar that many disabled people had not understood the risks posed by leaving the EU.
Baroness Campbell told DNS that the rights disabled people had secured as a result of Britain's membership of the EU would not be lost immediately but would gradually "ebb away" if the country voted "leave".
She said: "The independent living movement for one has worked so hard to bring disabled people together through Europe to fight for our fundamental human rights and we need that [to continue].
"It will not hit us immediately, but over the years, slowly, they will be ebbing away and then we will be on our own, and we know what it is like to be out in the cold, to be segregated from our fellow disabled people.
"Please, please, do not let this happen. Nothing about us without us, and that means in Europe as well as in the UK."
Baroness Campbell had admitted to the seminar that she had started thinking about the EU referendum only recently, but the more she discovered about the damage that leaving the EU would do to disabled people "the more afraid I become".
She said that other disabled people around the country had told her they were preoccupied with other campaigns.
But she said: "We are so busy fighting our battles on different fronts that we are not lifting our heads up to see what is going on around us on the bigger stage."
She said that many disabled people had told her that they would pay attention to the EU issue when their other battles were over, but she told the seminar: "When that's all over it will be too late."

I haven't heard a Death Metal album as unique as the latest CD "Black Seeds of Vengeance" by the American four piece NILE lately. So at their tour with THE FORSAKEN, CARNAL FORGE and THE HAUNTED (who had just won a Swedish Grammy Award – click here for further details) I took the opportunity of talking to NILE's guitar player and vocalist Karl Sanders in Hamburg. Unfortunately something went wrong between the record company and the tour manager, so nobody was prepared for doing an interview. Another problem was that Karl was sick that day – still he did not only play the whole set with his band but also replied to my questions, so thanks a lot for that. As there are very good explanations of the lyrics of the new NILE album included in the booklet, there was no point in talking about that very much. Usually I'm interested in a band's past, so I started torturing him with that.
When and how did you get hooked to Heavy Metal in general, was it a concert, a record or maybe a friend who introduced you to it?
"As a child I guess I grew up with LED ZEPPELIN and BLACK SABBATH and later came JUDAS PRIEST and IRON MAIDEN and SLAYER, probably the same way many people started with Heavy Metal."
Do you remember your first Metal record and your first Metal concert?
"No."
Where you come from, is there a Metal scene around, can you play concerts with other bands there? Are there any bands we don't know yet but who should be supported?
"No. No, it sucks! It's terrible!"
Where does this fascination about ancient Egypt come from, what do you like so much about this topic?
"The epic grand scale, the ancient brutality, the mysteries of the ages…"
When forming NILE, did you already have this vision of how you would like to sound or did this develop over the years?
"When we started NILE we weren't quite sure what we were going to do, the ideas came to us gradually and we developed our concept over the years, like '95/'96 we started shaping our sound."
Concerning the "Egyptian" sounds – is there anything authentic from that period of time and if yes, how did it survive thousands of years? (okay, I really didn't expect this – Ramon)
"There are authentic recordings from 4000 years ago, yes! (laughs)"
So how is this sound inspired?
(Karl still seems to like this idea): "Well, yeah, certainly the ancient Egypts did not have electric guitars, bass drum, double kick drum, you know, they didn't have all that, so I don't think there ever was any ancient Egyptian Death Metal…" (well, maybe there was: the Marsians might have taught the Egyptians how to play Death Metal and then it survived thousands of years, or possibly the Marsians returned a couple of years ago, found out that mankind had forgotten how to play Death Metal and so they formed the first bands in order to teach mankind how to play good music again. Probably HELLHAMMER came from outer space, just ask John Cyriis, he'll certainly agree – Ramon)
Come on, I mean these additional sounds and instruments – except for the Death Metal!
"The other exotic instruments we're perhaps using them in a very dark ritualistic manner, but I mean we are trying to mix middle eastern sounds with Death Metal."
Concerning the explanations of the lyrics of the title track from the new NILE album "Black Seeds of Vengeance": are there any hints of the Amalachites…
"Amalachites, yes, that's actually quite biblically…"
…of how the Amalachites thought about their role and about the Egyptians? (The Amalachites were one of the enemies of the Egyptians – Ramon)
"No, there is no written documentation from the Amalachites, so they were the scourge of many ancient nations, but they were not a nation dedicated in any way to scholarly pursue on writing things down."
I was wondering because of this war between Egypt and the Hittites… (The song "Multitude of Foes" deals with this)
"Yes, I have the book, there is comparative studies where they actually found the Hittite records of the exact same war and of course it is very different than the Egypt account. Probably much the same way that our american historical account from World War 2 is very different from the Russian account of World War 2." (Concerning the US and the Soviets maybe the Cold War would have been a clearer example but we get the idea – Ramon)
What does the following mean to you: writing songs, recording them and playing live?
"Well, it's what I do, it's my life, I've done it all my life. I started playing in Metal bands when I was 16 and I'm 37 now. It's my life!"
What can people expect from a NILE concert, do you use any special effects or is more a Rock'n'Roll kind of attitude?
"I wouldn't call it Rock'n'Roll. We play our music, we play the fuck out of it (that's definitely true – Ramon) but that's pretty much what we do: we play our music and bring it to the people."
Do you use samples on stage?
"Yes, I bring my computer with me (comment by a fan later on at the concert: "oh my god! Windows '98! I hope it doesn't break down!" – which it did not – Ramon). Bringing along extra musicians with extra exotic instruments is a very expensive proposition, certainly beyond the budget of any Death Metal band." (Actually THERION are sometimes undertaking such risks, but who would call them Death Metal nowadays – Ramon)
So you don't leave out these sounds live…
"Oh no, well, you'll see for yourself if you stay and listen." (Of course I did, I certainly didn't drive 200 km just for an interview. I just wanted the readers to get an impression from the artist's perspective – Ramon)
Do you play the same set each night or do you sometimes vary it?
"No, it's the same set every night." (then I asked Karl for the set list because I forget things like that right away and because I like his reply I'm going to share it with you. Kind, eh? – Ramon) "We don't have a set list, we're professionals, we know what we're doing (laughs)!"
Can you tell any interesting or funny stories concerning NILE, maybe about your life on the road?
"I suppose there is a billion and one stories to tell… okay: we're in Paris, France, in this very small club and it is way too small for the amount of human beings they tried to put in there and the kids were like right down on top of me and I have a lot of very expensive equipment pedals there on the floor, a lot of stuff. So usually what I do I try to ask the kids: please don't touch my stuff, it's very expensive, you know, give me a hand and don't climb all over my stuff. So I say to this kid: "ne toucher pas, s'il vous plait", which is roughly: please don't touch. And he looks at me and goes: "I don't understand french!" And the kid was from California! Spoke perfect English! (laughs)."
Probably you can't make a living from NILE, so what are you doing for that?
"I work at the BMW factory in South Carolina, we make the Z3 Roadsters."
What are your hobbies, do you do anything apart from working and NILE?
"Playing music: NILE takes a LOT of my time!"
Any last words?
"Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you and your readers, enjoy the new album and thank you very much."

Baseball is back—here's what to know about Opening Day at the K
Kansas City Magazine Team
Photography provided by the Kansas City Royals
Opening Day is always special, but perhaps never more than this year. The abrupt cancelation of the first half of last year's baseball season led to a shortened run of just sixty games, all without fans. "Last year was unlike anything a grizzled veteran like myself has experienced," says Mike Swanson, vice president of communications for the Royals. "We were on edge for the better part of three months, following all of the protocols, testing regularly and just trying to keep the game going for fans to at least have a rooting interest despite not being allowed in the ballpark." Having endured all that, the fresh start of this season is "that much more exciting," Swanson says. On April 1, baseball's back—way back—and we couldn't be happier.
GO: Opening Day at the K is April 1 against the Texas Rangers. The game starts at 3:10 pm. Limited tickets are available.

Democrats disagree over Biden's $1.75 trillion spending framework
All right. While President Biden meets with world leaders in Europe, his party continues to disagree over the $1.75 trillion framework that he unveiled yesterday. The House delayed a vote on that bill until next week while they continue negotiating. Progressive Democrats want assurances that this plan will actually become law. With us now is Congresswoman Cori Bush from Missouri. She is a Democrat and a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Good morning.
CORI BUSH: Good morning.
KING: Do you support this $1.75 trillion plan as it stands now?
BUSH: As it stands, I mean, it's - there are great things in this bill, great things in the bill. There's nothing in the bill that that I see that is harmful. Would I - are there some things that I wanted to see that are not in the bill? Absolutely. I wanted to see paid leave. I wanted Medicaid - Medicare expansion that included dental and vision, as well. But we do have hearing, at least. So there are some things that I wanted to see with it. But as it stands, it's a very good bill. It will help millions of people. And we need this because infrastructure is also education. Infrastructure is housing. Infrastructure is health care.
KING: OK, let's talk about infrastructure. Our colleague Kelsey Snell explained this morning that a majority of progressive Democrats support this new package, like you just explained for the reasons you just explained. But they want assurances that it will become law before they agree to vote on the infrastructure plan that passed the Senate in August. Do you support this strategy, which some people have characterized as kind of holding this framework captive? And if you do, what do you think it accomplishes?
BUSH: So I absolutely, wholeheartedly support it.
KING: OK.
BUSH: And I support it because when I ran for Congress, I said that I wanted to help all of my district. And now that I'm in Congress, our model is to do the absolute most for every person in Missouri's 1st District in St. Louis, starting with those who have the very least. And if we say that I only can support - we'll support the one that's already on the table, that has already been voted out of the Senate. We'll support that one. And we'll - we hope that the two senators, the two Democratic senators that have been in these negotiations - we hope that they will be good-faith actors and, at some point, support this other bill. We can't - I don't trust that.
And the reason why I don't trust that is because right now, this is the time. We have the White House, the Senate. I mean, we have the White House, the Senate and the House. This is the time to get this done. The other thing is this if we switch this around - because some people have said, well, hey, you need to just go ahead and get this, get the infrastructure, the bipartisan infrastructure framework - go ahead and get that voted on. Just go ahead and get that done. Well, if we switch this around and if we had the other bill, if we had to Build Back Better bill, the one that is for child care and home care and housing, you know - if we had that one and it was the other bill, the infrastructure bill, that was the one that we were saying, we really wanted to have that, too, for those people that are saying, no, just go ahead and get us the infrastructure bill, so we can get this - you know, because that's where our - that's really where our interest is. If it was the other way around, would you want us to not fight for your bill, the one that affects you the most? Would you want us to say, no, we'll just go with this one? And would you say, oh, OK, no, we're good? We'll just wait and see if something comes our way.
My work is to do the most for the greatest amount of people, and we have to do that immediately. So I'm a 100% no, I will not vote on the bipartisan infrastructure package without the other bill, without Build Back Better being voted on, as well. And I want to see it voted through the Senate because I don't believe - if we pass the infrastructure package through the House, I don't believe we'll get the other one.
KING: You brought up the word trust and you didn't say that you mistrust your Democratic colleagues, Senators, Cinema and Manchin, but you said you don't trust that that an agreement will go forward if it's left alone. This makes me wonder, how are negotiations with you are more moderate colleagues going at this point? Is there a lot of open mistrust?
BUSH: No, I don't believe that that's what it is. I just think that in any group, there are going to be disagreements and they're going to be different ideas, different experiences, people looking at things from a different lens, different perspectives. We're representing different communities. So I think that it's more that than it is - people keep making it seem like there is all of this turmoil and these, you know - and that's not what it is. There - we are passionate about making sure that we're helping people in different ways.
And for us, as someone who - I'm someone - when I look at what's in this human infrastructure package, when I think about all of the pieces, whether it's child care or the housing, money for higher education, equity for community violence interruption, when I think about that, every single piece of this would've changed my life before I came to Congress - every single thing. And I know that there are so many people that are in our communities that have been saying, why not us? When do we - when does the investment come our way?
