Disclosing Other Support
As part of the U.S. Governments efforts to protect U.S. intellectual property and the integrity of federally funded research endeavors, major federal sponsors have issued clarification and new guidance regarding requirements for disclosing other support.
CU Boulder is committed to international engagement and collaboration and to complying with all U.S. regulations governing international research collaborations. Disclosing and vetting other support through the proper channels protects everyone's interests and the CU research enterprise. In extreme cases, failure to disclose other support and outside activities can result in termination of funding, ineligibility for future funding, and threaten overall funding for the University.
The following provides guidance to researchers on best practices and requirements for disclosing other support and outside activities at the proposal stage.
CU Boulder Researcher Responsibilities
Maintain and update a record of all current and pending support. OCG has a current and pending spreadsheet to assist with this.
Be familiar with sponsor requirements for disclosing current and pending support (guidance for major federal sponsors provided below).
Annually disclose and update as needed all outside professional activities and financial relationships through the CU Disclosure of External Professional Activities (DEPA) form.
Provide accurate information and certification on an OCG Proposal Submission Request (PSR) form for each proposal.
Follow federal and CU Boulder disclosure and reporting requirements related to foreign support of research.
Err on the side of transparency when disclosing other support and outside activities to CU Boulder and federal agencies.
If you are involved in a foreign talent recruitment program, disclose this involvement in your DEPA and in proposal current and pending document. Note that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) prohibits national lab contractor personnel from participating in foreign talent recruitment programs.
In submitting proposals, PIs certify that all information is complete and accurate to the best of their knowledge. Exclusion of information in any documents may be considered by the university and the funder as providing fraudulent information.
Federal Sponsor Disclosure Requirements
All PIs, Co-PIs and non-Co-PI senior personnel from CU and subaward or collaborative institutions must provide a Current and Pending Support document, that:
Follows NSF guidelines for content and format
Includes all current and pending support for ongoing projects and proposals from all sources, foreign and domestic
Include support from Federal, State, local, foreign, public or private foundations, industrial or other commercial organizations, or internal funds allocated toward specific projects
All projects or activities that require a time commitment from the individual must be included, even if there is no salary support from the project
All PIs, Co-PIs and non-Co-PI senior personnel from CU and subaward or collaborative institutions must also provide a Biographical Sketch, disclosing all appointments.
Reference NSF 19-200 Dear Colleague Letter: Research Protection posted July 11, 2019.
All PIs, Co-PIs and senior/key personnel from CU and subaward institutions must provide an Other Support document, typically at the "Just in Time" phase before an award is made and in progress reports (RPPRs) if there are changes in support or addition of key personnel. Other Support must:
Follow NIH guidelines for content and format
Be provided for anyone contributing to the scientific development or execution of a project in a substantive, measurable way, whether or not they request salaries or compensation (all Senior/Key Personnel. Not required for Other Significant Contributors).
Include all financial resources, whether Federal, non-Federal, commercial or institutional, available in direct support of an individual's research endeavors. Include gifts in direct support of an individual's research endeavors as well as financial support for laboratory personnel.
Include all non-financial resources (i.e. lab space, high value materials, animals, equipment, supplies, support for employees or students contributing to the research) uniquely available (i.e., not a shared resource or facility broadly available) in direct support of an individual's research endeavors.
Non-financial resources intended for use on the proposed project can be reported in Facilities and Other Resources or the Other Support document.
If the time commitment or dollar value of the in-kind contribution is not readily ascertainable, the recipient must provide reasonable estimates.
If there is no associated effort level, zero effort can be listed but an estimated dollar value must be listed; effort and dollar value cannot both be zero.
An item or service given with the expectation of an associated time commitment is not a gift and is an in-kind contribution and must be reported as Other Support.
Include all positions and appointments, domestic and foreign, with or without remuneration full-time, part-time, or voluntary within the Biosketch. This includes Consulting agreements (that are not a part of one's CU appointment), where the person will be conducting research as part of the consulting activities.
For foreign appointments, provide Supporting Documentation; copies of contracts specific to the individual's foreign appointments and/or foreign employment and/or all foreign activities and resources that are reported in Other Support. If not in English, translated copies must be included.
Not include gifts and CU startup packages, unless in direct support of an individual's research endeavors, nor training awards, prizes or gifts.
Not include either the application under consideration nor the current NIH award for this project.
Also to be noted:
"Financial resources" is interpreted broadly and includes any project an individual is committing measurable effort to and research efforts under an appointment or affiliation with a foreign institution or entity where support is non-monetary.
Include in-kind support and selection to foreign talents or similar-type program.
Gifts and CU start up packages do not need to be reported. However, if a gift received from an outside entity is in direct support of an individual's research endeavors, the recommendation is to report it.
All current scientific positions, appointments and honors should also be disclosed in the NIH Biographical Sketch document.
Institutional resources (ex: broadly available core facilities/shared equipment) should be listed under Facilities and Other Resources within the proposal application. When in doubt, disclose.
NIH has specific requirements for foreign components related to disclosure. NIH defines foreign component as "performance of any significant scientific element or segment of a project outside of the United States, either by the recipient or by a researcher employed by a foreign organization, whether or not grant funds are expended." Note that a visiting fellow working on an NIH funded project may be considered a foreign component and should be discussed with the NIH Grants Management Officer (see FAQ #7).
Disclosure of a foreign component must be made in the NIH application:
On the R&R Other Project Information Form
In a "Foreign Justification" attachment
In cases where foreign support is provided (ex: foreign fellow working on NIH project, etc., disclose this support on the Other Support document as an In-Kind Contribution.
Supporting Documentation (i.e. copies of contracts) should be provided for all foreign activities and support.
See NIH NOT-OD-19-114 released July 10, 2019 and FAQs on Other Support and Foreign Components and Examples of What to Disclose to NIH about Senior/Key Personnel on Applications and Awards.
Current and pending support must be provided in NASA proposals as follows:
For all PIs and Co-PIs
For all Co-Is proposing to spend 10% or more of their time on the proposed project
PIs and Co-PIs must disclose all ongoing pending projects and proposals, regardless of salary
Co-Is must disclose ongoing and pending projects that require a significant share (more than 10%) of their time
Follow NASA requirements and formatting
NASA is restricted from using funds to enter into or under any grant or cooperative agreement of any kind "to participate, collaborate, or coordinate bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company, at the prime recipient level or at any subrecipient level, whether the bilateral involvement is funded or performed under a no-exchange of funds arrangement." For all NASA proposals:
CU PIs and subawardees must provide an Assurance of Compliance to the China funding restriction:
China Assurance Form Note: This PDF assurance is a required document for resubmissions using Supplemental PSR; if using the current PSR Form, the China Assurance is included so no additional form is needed.
Subrecipient China Assurance Form
Department of Defense (DOD)
As of April 20, 2019, DoD notice of funding opportunities (NFO) for research and research-related educational activities will include a requirement for current and pending support documentation from all key personnel at the proposal stage.
The current and pending support document must include:
A list of current projects the individual is working on, as well as any future support applied for, regardless of source. This includes all projects funded or pending funding decision from any source: all domestic and international sources, funds internal and external to CU, and funds paid directly to the individual
Titles and objectives of the other research projects
Percentage per year devoted to the other projects
Total amount of support the individual is receiving or will receive
Name and address of agencies and/or other parties supporting other research projects
Period of performance for the other research projects
For reference, see the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) memo issued on March 20, 2019.
DOE does not provide agency guidance on current and pending documents. Refer to specific DOE funding opportunity announcements for details.
On July 7, 2019, DOE issued a directive regarding foreign government talent programs. Per this directive:
DOE does not allow participation in foreign talent programs by its employees or contractor personnel.
A CU researcher who is contracted to work in a DOE national lab and who is part of a foreign talent program must remove his/her association with the talent program before receiving funding.
Foreign government talent recruitment programs are defined as, "any foreign-state-sponsored attempt to acquire U.S. scientific-funded research or technology through foreign government-run or funded recruitment programs that target scientists, engineers, academics, researchers, and entrepreneurs of all nationalities working or educated in the United States."
If you have any questions regarding sponsor requirements for disclosure at the proposal stage, contact your Proposal Analyst. If you have questions regarding disclosure or updates to disclosures once an award has been made, contact your Grant or Contract Officer. All OCG staff contacts can be found in the OCG Directory.

Losing My Religion is een single van de Amerikaanse muziekgroep R.E.M. Het was hun eerste single in de Nationale Top 100, er volgden er nog achttien (stand 2011). De tekst van Losing My Religion heeft niets te maken met het kwijtraken van het geloof; het is een Amerikaanse uitdrukking uit het zuiden, die "aan het eind van je Latijn zijn" betekent. Dat kan onder meer gehaald worden uit de zinsnede "That's me in the corner/That's me in the spotlight/Losing my religion".

De basis voor het lied werd gelegd voor Peter Buck, die op een avond mandoline probeerde te spelen en dat opnam. Hij kwam daarbij toevallig op een riff, die later in het lied verscheen. De opnamen voor het echte lied begonnen in september 1990 in de Bearsville Studio in Woodstock (New York). Het instrumentarium werd uitgebreid met basgitaar en slagwerk. Het heeft weinig gescheeld of het was nooit als single verschenen. Warner Bros., hun platenlabel, zag het in eerste instantie niet zitten, maar lange gesprekken leidden toch tot de release. Nadat de single en het album zo goed verkochten konden de verkoopprognoses bijgesteld worden van 2 à 3 miljoen exemplaren naar circa 10 miljoen.

In Nederland was de plaat op vrijdag 22 maart 1991 Veronica Alarmschijf op Radio 3 en werd een gigantische hit. De plaat bereikte de nummer 1 positie in de Nederlandse Top 40 en de Nationale Top 100. In België haalde de plaat de Vlaamse hitlijsten niet.

Musici
 Michael Stipe - zang
 Peter Buck – mandoline
Peter Holsapple – akoestische gitaar
 Mike Mills – basgitaar, toetsinstrumenten
 Bill Berry – slagwerk

De bijbehorende video werd geregisseerd door Tarsem Singh. Eerder zong Stipe de video's nog live in; hier playbackte hij.

For some reason I didn't read more than 14 books last year (2010), and that's pretty low. I guess I must've been busy. 14 books compared to 33 the year before (2009). That's 6,430 pages (2010) compared to 12,410 pages (2009). Average page count for 2010 is 459 pages per book. That's pretty decent.
Let's look at the stats for the long haul. Since I started chronicling my readings, way back in 1994, I've read 363 books. The page count is a dazzling 149,981. I've been as low as five books in a year (1999) and as high as 52 (2005). The record-breaking page count of 20,562 from that same year, still stands.
Why? You ask. Why read so much, and why keep score?
As Stephen King told us in his book On Writing: It's important to read if you're gonna write. For me, reading both collects and creates ideas. The books are my ammo cache. That's where I go to refuel and better myself. As for keeping score: It's mostly for fun.
Now comes the hard part: crowning the best book read for the first time in 2010.
as the undisputed winner of 2010.
It's a great story from beginning to end, almost unputdownable. At the end of the novel I was sorry, because the adventure had ended. This is also the second year I put Reynolds on top.

The lack of maintenance can lead to serious water ingress over time, the blocking up from leaves and debris will eventually cause infestation and vegetation growth which will cause your gutters to fail around jointed areas and outlets causing water ingress at wallheads, ceilings and walls etc. Gutters can be repaired, but over time they will need replaced and water ingress damage means further repairs to any timbers, stone work and interior damages.
Tenement Gutter Cleaning Glasgow. Replacing gutters can be a quick job for some or more expensive for others who may be needing scaffolding or specialist access to execute the works. our gutter cleaning and repair service will help give your gutters a longer life span.
How to avoid lengthy damages ? Maintain your gutters keep them clean from debris with regular cleaning approximately twice a year. Gone are the days of a roofer tied with rope around a chimney for a small fee. Health and Safety considerations need to be observed by law. It is okay for a confident roofer to clean a tenement gutter with ease but for some these can be a tricky task especially when some tenements are 50 ft high and your gutter is on the roof edge, this is the problem with high level gutter cleaning gaining good access for a good clean out. Some roofs may have good anchor point systems in place but some others may not and you may need scaffold or cherry pickers. We are now supplying and installing roof anchor points with certificate and testing.

The England Lionesses are on a five-game streak without a win and any other result against Portugal would ramp the pressure on Phil Neville. But is he the only person responsible for the current situation?

I did a survey on this very question after England's last game – a 2-1 defeat to Brazil – and here are the results. It is obviously a small sample, but still interesting.
England's recurrent bad defending, who is responsible?
— Sylvain Jamet (@S_Jamet) October 5, 2019
I didn't put Phil Neville as an option on his own, because even if he is the manager and the face of the coaching staff, he does not do everything alone. We know how big the coaching and support staff is with 50 people in total involved.
What is surprising for me is the 6% voters blaming it on another reason. I guess they put it on the FA organisation itself for hiring Neville?
The 43% that blame Neville and his staff make sense. Their task is clear: Create an environment where the players perform. The hangover from the World Cup is strong with defeats at the tournament to the USA and Sweden followed by a draw against Belgium and two defeats against Norway and Brazil.
The fact that England are hosting the next Euros means they will only play friendlies until the tournament, except for the players who will take part in the Tokyo Olympics. It is not that easy to motivate players for friendly games even if they are professional. The intensity is not the same as a key qualifier, even if most of the games aren't too difficult.
One recurrent criticism Neville gets is playing many players out of position. It is a fair one, as Bronze, Daly and others do get played out of position and it probably impacts their performance. But it also broadens their horizons and helps provide a back-up plan should players end up being suspended or injured. Friendlies are there to experiment. Experiments can fail, it's not a problem in my opinion as long as lessons are learnt.
12% of the voters put the responsibility on the players. While it is obvious that they have to take ownership of what is happening on the pitch, putting the blame on them alone is just going to create a siege mentality among some of them.
I read some players felt unjustly criticized during the tournament and qualification as if they were a kind of scapegoat. I think they have a point with fans. If their favorite player does not play, they are likely to criticize the player in their place.
Social media in that respect is really damaging. In 2002, David Seaman was criticized for letting a lob by Ronaldinho go above his head. Today, the same thing could be happening to Karen Bardsley and some fans would be vitriolic on all her social media. It is so much easier nowadays to reach and attack players.
Regarding the media criticising players for their lack of performance, I would think the majority are measured and have no agenda against the players. Is it a personal attack to say "this defender/midfielder/forward is not good enough" or just a reflection of her performances?
There is a recurrent problem with the Lionesses: Defending set-pieces and general play. Individual mistakes play their part and the back four plus the goalkeeper are the first players to be criticized. This can be unfair at times.
Team defending is key, all 11 players defend together – unless you have an attacking player who is not tasked to defend of course. So when you analyze the goals conceded during open play, you can see forwards and midfielders are out of position and they contribute to shipping a goal. It is not only the five players at the back.
If a player repeatedly performs at a level that is not good enough, she needs to improve or get replaced in the starting 11. In that situation, the player is not really to be blamed. How many will go to the coach and tell him/her to drop her because she is not playing well? All the players want to play. The staff should shoulder the responsibility in those situations.
So we are left with the final option chosen by 39%: Coaching staff and players together are responsible for the current slump. To me, this is obviously the correct answer. They are working together. The coaches devise the game plan, systems and tactics, the players apply it well or not on the pitch.
Once the players cross the white line, the manager can only make small in-game adjustments. If the game has been prepared well, the players should be able to perform well.
If not the manager should then drop the players who have repeatedly under-performed especially key players. You don't drop them after one or two bad performances.
This is where Phil Neville loyalty to senior players is puzzling. I believe some players have done enough to be dropped so a chance can be given to a youngster or an up and coming player, like Leah Williamson or Beth England. There seems to be unlimited credit for certain players and it could really be detrimental to the team.
The next two games against Portugal away and Germany at Wembley will be crucial for Phil Neville and his players. They need to stop the negative trend and strong decisions have to be made in term of the squad and starting 11. The 2021 Euros and 2023 World Cup are coming soon, while the Olympics are less than a year away.
The word crisis is only a defeat away for the Lionesses and their manager.

Ven. Ralph Crockett
English martyr, b. at Barton, near Farndon, Cheshire; executed at Chichester, 1 October, 1588. Educated at Cambridge, and ordained at Reims in 1585, he was captured on board ship at Littlehampton, Sussex, 19 April, 1856, with three other priests, Thomas Bramston, George Potter, and his fellow martyr, Edward James (b. at Breaston, Derbyshire, about 1557), educated at Derby Grammar School, St. John's College, Oxford, and the English colleges at Reims and Rome ; ordained by Bishop Goldwell of St. Asaph in October, 1583; all were sent up to London and committed to prison 27 April, 1586. After the failure of the Armada the Government determined to revenge itself on some of the priests in its custody. Crockett and James with two others, John Oven and Francis Edwardes, were selected for trial, which took place at Chichester on 30 September, 1588. All were condemned to death, under 27 Eliz. c. 2, for being priests and coming into the realm; but Oven on taking the oath of supremacy was respited. The other three were drawn on one hurdle to Broyle Heath, near Chichester, where Edwardes recanted, but the other two suffered with great constancy after absolving each other.

Love Art London's influential founder, visionary and art aficionado, Chris Pensa will lead a unique tour that will include an overview of Exodus, BRICs, Stickmen and Trabants. In addition the event will allow access to an exclusive first preview of Lyon's work in development, Hinterlands: an exploration of the city edge and its defining role in the geography of the urban space.
Exodus III, London, UK – 2010
Chongqing is the fastest-growing urban mass on the planet. At over 31 million, its population is bigger than that of Peru or Iraq, with half a million more arriving every year. The streets hum with an army of 100,000 "bang bang men" weaving through the urban sprawl, transporting goods strung over their backs on their bamboo sticks. Chongqing epitomizes the shift of man as a rural to an urban being. Set on the confluence of the Jialing and the Yangtze rivers the city became a provisional capital during WII as its heavy fog protected against the Japanese airforce. In the nineties Chongqing was used by China to spearhead development of its Western regions. According to the World Bank, 16 of the planet's 20 dirtiest cities are in China and Chongqing is one of the worst. Allegedly the city produces 3,500 tons of waste every day. None is recycled.

Geese Mate for Life !
\ Geese Pairs Heading South (Illustrated 2013) Crow Quill pen with India Ink on Crescent Illustration board 7.5″x10″.
After living in Minnesota for many years, the geese in flight and their honking arrivals and departures, have become a familiar bird watching experience. It is always exciting to watch and also to illustrate. Geese are a messy bird and some would say a bother. True, if they are on your front lawn, but in the air they are magnificent. This bird mates for life and flock as a group for life as well. Wildlife painting requires good research information and observation, sometimes seeing the geese fly gives enough inspiration to go do the research or get the camera, or sketch pad out. Bird watching is not only a great and popular hobby, it is a great wildlife painter pleasure too!

You can't make "Game of Thrones" on a YouTube budget: Why "it's the best of times and the worst of times" for prestige TV — Scott Timberg interviews Rob Levine on the current television renaissance. "All of this sounds abstract, but the ability of networks to fund ambitious shows – most of them with very high production costs – has to do not just with a creative revolution, but an economic one. People pay for television in a way they rarely do for other forms of culture, and when they stop, so will the flow of great programming."
Rain is sizzling bacon, cars are lions roaring: the art of sound in movies — A fantastic profile of Skip Lievsay, a master at the craft of sound design for films. "Lievsay is not a household name, but he is famous among people who are. His expertise, fittingly, is what can't be seen – sound, yes, but also everything else that sound is to the human mind: the way we orient ourselves in relation to spaces, to time, to each other; the way we communicate when language fails; the way our ears know, precognitively, when the dark room has someone lurking in it or when a stranger will be kind. He orchestrates the levels of human perception that most people either fail to examine or lack the ability to notice at all. His job is to make you feel things without ever knowing he was there."
'Sample amnesty' will let artists keep royalties if they declare material lifted from other musicians — "Rather than chase down and sue musicians who have taken its music without permission, EMI is offering an amnesty. From Tuesday, anyone who has sampled the catalogue without getting the sample cleared will be able to come forward, declare it, and agree a legitimate release for the recording. The 'sample amnesty', believed to be the first of its kind, will run for 6 months, has been approved by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, which owns EMI Music Publishing and is itself co-owned by the Michael Jackson Estate."

Many new top-level domains have become Internet's "bad neighborhoods" — "There were many who warned that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers' (ICANN) decision to allow a host of new commercial generic top-level Internet domains was going to create a huge opportunity for Internet scammers and hackers. The approval of top-level domains (TLDs) beyond those assigned to countries and generic ones such as .com, .org, and .net created an opportunity, some in the security industry warned, for criminals to set up "look-alike" domains in the new namespace that aped legitimate sites already registered in .com or elsewhere. Well, the warnings were spot-on."

Eritrea and Ethiopia: Hopes for Peace and Progress
Admin 12:01 AM Abiy Ahmed, Dr. Fikrejesus Amahazion, Economy, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Opinion
Dr. Fikrejesus Amahazion
On Wednesday June 20th, Eritrea held its annual national commemoration service in memory of martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the struggle for independence and to safeguard the country's sovereignty. In addition to paying his respects and honoring the great sacrifices of Eritrea's martyrs, H.E. President Isaias Afewerki responded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's announcement on June 6th that Ethiopia is now willing to abide by the Algiers Agreement and the Eritrea Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) boundary decisions.
Speaking at Eritrea's Patriot's Cemetery, President Isaias stated that Eritrea was "sending a delegation" to Addis Ababa to better understand the current situation, begin "constructive engagement," and to prepare a work plan for the future. Of note, President Isaias also expressed his hope and confidence for better relations with the US administration, as well as Eritrea's general willingness to build new ties and positive engagement with Washington.
Hours later, speaking in Ethiopia, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed replied to President Isaias' comments, thanking the Eritrean President for his decision, describing it as "historical news on a historical date." It was also highly notable that the Ethiopian PM's response included several significant gestures of goodwill, including referring to President Isaias as his "brother," stating that Eritrea's delegation would be graciously welcomed "as Ethiopians," and not simply "as guests," speaking in Tigrinya (which is one of Eritrea's three main working languages), and respectfully noting the importance of Eritrea's Martyr's Day. Notably, days ago the Ethiopian PM, speaking in Parliament, also questioned Ethiopia's delay in implementing the EEBC final and binding decisions.
Of course, many questions remain unanswered and specific details will have to be ironed out. However, after years of stalemate, bitter rivalry, antagonism, and tension, such developments between the two governments can only be regarded as highly positive and extremely encouraging. Both countries are faced with a number of significant challenges, and thus an end to the costly – and largely unnecessary – conflict and tensions will allow the two to better focus their attention on addressing their various and considerable challenges. For instance, with peace and stability, vital human and fiscal resources can be used to combat poverty or promote development, rather than having to be diverted toward defense and national security. A relationship between the two countries based on mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation will also contribute to promoting sustainable peace, security, and development across the region. For example, before the outbreak of their conflict, from 1991 until 1998 Eritrea and Ethiopia had worked closely to bring about a solution to the Somali crisis. Moreover, the two countries, working together, can help promote and revitalize important regional security architectures that can play a pivotal role in the prevention, management, and resolution of conflicts.
In addition, it is important recall that until the emergence of the conflict in 1998, the two countries enjoyed strong economic, cultural and security relations. Prior to the war, Ethiopia was Eritrea's top export partner, and thousands of Ethiopians were employed throughout the country. Furthermore, Ethiopia had been using the Eritrean ports at Assab and Massawa at symbolic rates and without any hindrance (a point raised by PM Abiy Ahmed in a recent statement where he questioned the logic in using other more expensive and inefficient regional ports), while even during the war, Eritrea offered the use of its ports to transport humanitarian aid to Ethiopia.
For Eritrea, the immediate post-independence period was characterized by a focus on poverty reduction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. Nearly 65 percent of the country's liberation forces were demobilized and shifted into both the private and public sectors (note that another round of large-scale demobilization, under The Demobilization and Reintegration Program Project and carried out in partnership with the World Bank, occurred after the 1998-2000 conflict), and the country experienced the beginning of growth with macroeconomic stability. Of note, from 1993 to 1997, Eritrea's gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a rate of nearly 12 percent, inflation averaged approximately 6 percent, the fiscal deficit including grants averaged approximately 5.5 percent of GDP, and gross international reserves were equivalent to 3.5 months of imports of goods and services (IMF 2016; Kidane 2015: 2; World Bank n.d.). Admittedly, while such figures only offer a snapshot of the country during the time period, they do suggest that with the conditions of lasting peace and stability, there is quite considerable potential in Eritrea for significant socio-economic growth and sustainable development.
Overall, as a result of the statements by Ethiopian and Eritrean leaders, this June 20th was a day not only of solemnly reflecting on the past, but also one of looking to the future with considerable optimism and hope. Ultimately, the people of Eritrea and Ethiopia not only want peace, they need and deserve it.

Everyone faces personal anxieties and fears. They are a part of everyday life.
But for millions of Americans, anxieties and fears are overwhelming and persistent, often drastically interfering with daily life. These people suffer from anxiety disorders, a widespread group of psychological disorders that can be terrifying and disabling. It is estimated that more than 24 million Americans (or 1 out of 10) will suffer from some form of anxiety disorder during their lifetime. While these conditions can be disabling, they are also very responsive to treatment.
Yet, tragically, less than 23 percent of those who suffer from anxiety disorders ever receive treatment.
Anxiety is a normal response to dangerous or threatening situations, such as physical assaults or accidents. Under these circumstances, anxiety helps us to evaluate a situation and mobilize our resources to escape and to protect ourselves or our loved ones.
In moderation, anxiety helps us to be more efficient and to improve our performance. In excess, anxiety can impair performance and trouble our lives. When anxiety reaches high levels of intensity, daily functioning can be adversely affected. At these times, the person is likely to be suffering from an Anxiety Disorder.
The conditions classified as anxiety disorders and treated in our clinic include panic disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, simple or single phobias, social anxiety and phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and anxiety disorders in children.


There's a gag in Back to the Future Part II where a marquee for Jaws 19 is credited to director Max Spielberg. That's the real son of Back to the Future producer and original Jaws director Steven Spielberg. Max, who was four when the joke was made, did wind up a director — well, of just one short film back in 2002, at least — but it doesn't look like he's going to fulfill the idea of ever actually helming a Jaws sequel.
Now, if a time-travel movie had delivered a gag about a Ghostbusters sequel directed by Jason Reitman, that would've been a great prediction. Entertainment Weekly revealed that the younger Reitman, who appeared in a tiny role in Ghostbusters II, will helm a direct follow-up to that sequel, which like the original was made by his father, Ivan Reitman. Jason wrote the script with Gil Kenan, who made the Poltergeist remake, and Ivan Reitman is producing the new installment.
Of course, torch passing has been a staple of film series for the last few years, as the term "legacy sequel" has been applied to anything where a franchise attempts to move forward with a new generation of actors/characters. Sometimes the younger players are offspring, as in the cases of Tron: Legacy, Creed, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and last year's Halloween. Other times, they're just new characters, or it's a mix as in the current Star Wars trilogy.
The younger Reitman knows the property, that's for sure. In the EW article, he talks about his experiences as a child on the set of the original and shares what he loves about the franchise — "The iconography. The music. The tone." Still, his own work as a writer/director doesn't exactly seem relevant to those aspects he's now expected to honor.
Inheriting a franchise from a parent isn't totally fresh, even outside the BTTF2 gag. Chronicle and Bright screenwriter Max Landis has been working on a new version of An American Werewolf in London, but that's a remake of father John Landis' 1981 horror-comedy classic. We've seen offspring directed by their parents and offspring directing documentaries or biopics about their parents, and with Solo: A Star Wars Story and the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel we see Jonathan Kasdan collaborating and continuing the screenwriting efforts of father Lawrence Kasdan, but have we seen offspring directing sequels of their parents' works? Does Bryce Dallas Howard directing an episode of Star Wars show The Mandalorian after her father, Ron Howard, helmed Solo count?
Why would you say that and not Panos Cosmatos' Cobra 2?!
Reitman continuing the specific family business here has inspired fans to come up with other possibilities. In addition to the few noted in the Twitter exchange above, how about Sofia Coppola's The Godfather Part IV or Jake Scott doing the next Alien sequel (the former acted in The Godfather Part III, directed by father Francis Ford Coppola, and the latter worked as an artist on Alien 3, a sequel to a movie made by father Ridley Scott)? Can Rob Reiner do The Jerk 3?

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative supports New York's transition to a clean energy economy, creating jobs like this one at upstate Renovus Solar, saving consumers money, and improving public health. Raiding RGGI moves us in the wrong direction.
Update: Since I posted this blog, this particular bill—S. 6605—has died. But the leaders of the New York State Senate have decided to double-down on their attacks on clean energy and fast-track a bill that's even worse: S. 6651A. That bill would not only raid all of the RGGI funding referred to in the post below. It would also raid all clean energy funding administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Or, essentially, almost all of the clean energy funding in the state. NRDC strongly opposed S. 6605. We'll fight against S. 6651A with everything we've got.
As New York Governor Andrew Cuomo moves to pick up the slack in climate leadership in the wake of President Trump's reckless decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement, the New York State Senate is considering a different sort of "leadership"—new legislation that would move New York in exactly the wrong direction on clean energy. The bill, S. 6605, would raid tens of millions of dollars from New York's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) account to fund annual subsidies to nuclear power plants, instead of using those funds to catalyze New York's transition to a clean energy economy, as RGGI does today. This bill is a significant threat to New York's clean energy future and position as a climate leader, and should be rejected in no uncertain terms. (The state's zero emissions credit, or "ZEC," program to subsidize certain nuclear facilities was adopted as part of the state's broader Clean Energy Standard; as structured, the costs of the ZEC program are recovered from customers in the same manner as other electric system costs. While NRDC did not support the ZEC program, we do support states' legal authority to adopt and implement such programs).
RGGI is the nine-state carbon cap-and-invest program that New York and other Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states launched a decade ago to curb dangerous carbon pollution from power plants. Since its inception, RGGI has been wildly successful, helping slash regional emissions by more than 40 percent, driving job growth and billions of dollars in economic gains, and protecting public health by cleaning up our air. RGGI works by capping the total amount of pollution that power plants can emit, and auctioning carbon allowances up to that cap, which power plants must buy to comply with the program. The states reinvest these auction revenues in programs that benefit consumers, primarily energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Lower carbon emissions – RGGI-funded measures through 2016 will cut more than 12.9 million tons of pollution, equivalent to taking nearly 2.5 million cars off the road for a year.
And these numbers don't even include the significant health benefits to New York as RGGI has cut pollution and helped clean up our air. Abt Associates estimates that RGGI saved New Yorkers as much as $1.87 billion in health costs through 2014, including by preventing more than 2,100 asthma attacks in New York State, between 8 and 78 non-fatal heart attacks, more than 10,600 lost days of work, and between 78 and 177 premature deaths.
Many programs that New Yorkers know, love, and benefit from are funded—in part—by RGGI. These include the NY-Sun initiative, which promotes solar power across New York; the Cleaner, Greener Communities program that furthers local and regional sustainability; the Long Island Power Authority's energy efficiency and renewable energy programs; Charge NY, which helps put more electric cars and trucks on New York's roads; Green Jobs – Green New York, which trains workers for clean energy jobs; and, the REV Campus Challenge, which uses a little healthy competition among colleges to spur the development and adoption of clean energy on campuses and in local communities, thereby helping New York's students become forces for good.
Yet if the sponsors of S. 6605 have their way, all of the RGGI funding for these programs—and their associated benefits—would disappear. That's because the bill would redirect New York's RGGI revenues away from innovative clean energy programs in order to fund subsidies to nuclear power plants—a move NRDC strongly opposes. While nuclear power is low-carbon, it's neither clean nor renewable, and it presents a host of potential risks and impacts.
To keep RGGI's benefits coming, we need to both strengthen the program and ensure that its revenues continue to be devoted to innovative clean energy programs that benefit the state's residents. New York State's leadership on climate has never been more important. President Trump last week made the wrong decision on Paris, threatening to undermine our nation's climate and clean energy progress. This week, New York's State Senate shouldn't follow his lead. Senators must reject S. 6605.
New modeling shows that the Northeast's and Mid-Atlantic's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative can make ambitious cuts in carbon pollution from power plants, all while creating new jobs, saving consumers serious money on energy, and promoting the public health.
The pioneering cap-and-invest program to cut carbon pollution from the power sector in nine Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states has created $5.7 billion in health savings throughout the region and in neighboring states.
Rapid innovation in clean energy technologies, new business models, and smart climate policy frameworks, such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, will enable us to reach our climate goals cost-effectively, says a new report from M.J. Bradley & Associates.


Surve Talks New Tinmak3K Single & "Spreading Love"
Even though this is Surve's first time out on a major label, he's managed to make a name for himself amongst some of Hip Hop's elite.
And, he says, it's thanks to his ability to keep things positive.
Surve, a Louisiana native, first came onto the Southern rap scene performing alongside Hurricane Chris, Lil Wayne, and Trill Entertainment's artist Lil Boosie and Webbie, before connecting with Guin Records.
In 2018, Surve hit one million streams on Spotify and Triumph's kickoff track, "Going Home," was released to critical acclaim in early November. Co-produced by Tinman3K and Guin Records co-founder Milan Kordestani, "Going Home" set the redemptive tone to the purposeful collection of songs on the new album and the visuals of the accompanying music video center on Surve and his hometown state.
But it's "Found My Way" that most speaks to Surve's tragedy and triumph. In 2013, Surve was the victim of street violence due to disagreements and creative differences between himself and his rap group and, since the incident, he has spent the last five years working to create outreach programs that serve communities all over the world.
Paired with Tinman3K's smooth vocals, Surve's gritty lyrical prowess on "Found My Way" takes listeners deeper into the violence of his past and how he managed to persevere and forge a new path for himself and his family through music.
And it's through "Found My Way" that Surve is hoping to convey his message of survival to aspiring rappers — and others — who think violence is the way out.
Surve's new album, Triumph, will be out on January 18th on Guin Records.

Syracuse professor examines 200 years of Western American art
New book by Scott Manning Stevens features 320 illustrations by 140 artists, dating back to 1790s
Jan. 15, 2015, by Robert M Enslin
Scott Manning Stevens
More than 200 years of Western American art is the subject of a new book by a professor in Syracuse University's College of Arts and Sciences.
Scott Manning Stevens, associate professor and director of Native American studies, is the author of Art of the American West: The Haub Family Collection at Tacoma Art Museum (Yale University Press, 2014). The book is published in association with the Tacoma Art Museum (TAM), which contains a new expansion devoted to works by historic and contemporary artists.
Stevens co-authored the book with Laura F. Fry, inaugural curator of Western American Art at TAM; and Peter H. Hassrick, director emeritus and senior scholar of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.
"We examine ideas of American identity over time, delving into storytelling and mythmaking and the depiction of the vast American landscape," says Stevens, whose expertise includes diplomatic and cultural strategies of resistance among North American Indians. "We also look at how concepts of the West—real and imagined—have changed and evolved, while still influencing us today."
Art of the American West surveys the entire Haub Family Collection, featuring more than 320 color reproductions of iconic and previously unpublished works, dating back to the 1790s. The book also highlights more than 140 artists, ranging from acknowledged masters, such as Frederic Remington, Thomas Moran, Charles M. Russell, and Georgia O'Keeffe; to under-explored talent, such as Walter Ufer and Kevin Red Star.
Among the topics and themes represented are American culture, American politics, land conservation, and Manifest Destiny. Special emphasis is placed on the depiction of Native Americans, cowboys, and western landscapes.
"The recent and contemporary pieces shed a modern light on Western cultures and challenge long-held myths and assumptions about the American West," Stevens adds.
Lavishly illustrated, Art of the American West includes essays by some of today's leading scholars, including Kimberly Disney and Margaret E. Bullock, both of whom work at TAM as the first Haub Fellow and as curator of collections and special exhibitions, respectively.
A citizen of the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation, Stevens joined the Syracuse faculty more than a year ago, after serving as both adjunct professor of American studies at the University of Notre Dame and director of the D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies at The Newberry Library in Chicago. He also has held teaching positions at the University at Buffalo; Arizona State University; and Harvard University, where he earned a Ph.D. and master's degree in English.
An expert on Indigenous perspectives of museums and comparative Indigenous histories, Stevens is co-editor of Why You Can't Teach United States History Without American Indians (The University of North Carolina Press, 2015), due out in April.
Among the courses he is teaching this semester is "Cowboys and Indians: Art and Myths," with Sascha Scott, assistant professor of art history (NAT400/600, HOA400/600, ANT400).

Finca Sophia is a new boutique coffee farm in Bambito, Panama, which, at 2100m, counts among the highest altitude coffee farms in the world. The reveal of Finca Sophia's new brand identity and limited edition packaging was synchronized with its inaugural Spring 2015 Gesha harvest—and it hit the scene with a bang.
The extreme elevation of the Finca Sophia coffee farm was captured though a quetzal, a native and beautifully-colored bird found in the Panamanian cloud forests. Inspired by the traditional Mola folk art from Panama, the design of the symbol pays homage to the country's native artists and customs through its use of line, bold color, and simplicity of form. The bird both appears to be flying with wings extended upward as well as perched in a tree surrounded by leafy greenery—in the sky and grounded, just like the farm. The symbol is lofty and sophisticated, honoring Finca Sophia's audacious goal to set the global standard for excellence and social responsibility in terroir coffee farming.
The name Finca Sophia is bold and stacked, allowing the diagonal created by the final "A"s to create a visual upward trajectory—referencing mountains and terraced terroir. Whether the symbol is positioned above or below the logotype, both configurations have an uplifted feeling.


Sandwich High Sensitivity ELISA kit for Quantitative Detection of Mouse MDC. 96wells/kit, with removable strips.
Expressed by activated splenic B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells. Low expression in lung, thymocytes, lymph node, and unstimulated splenic cells.
Chemotactic for activated T-lymphocytes. May play an important role in the collaboration of dendritic cells and B- lymphocytes with T-cells in immune responses.
Macrophage-derived chemokine(MDC), also called Chemokine, cc motif, ligand 22(CCL22) or Small inducible cytokine subfamily A, member 22(SCY22). MDC is a recently identified member of the CC chemokine family. It is not closely related to other chemokines, sharing most similarity with thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine(TARC), which contains 37% identical amino acids. In addition, MDC gene is mapped to chromosome 16q13, the same position reported for the TARC gene. MDC has the four-cysteine motif and other highly conserved residues characteristic of CC chemokines, but it shares<35% identity with any of the known chemokines. Recombinant MDC was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and purified by heparin-Sepharose chromatography. MDC is highly expressed in macrophages and in monocyte-derived dendritic cells, but not in monocytes, natural killer cells, or several cell lines of epithelial, endothelial, or fibroblast origin. High expression was also detected in normal thymus and less expression in lung and spleen. MDC is thus a unique member of the CC chemokine family that may play a fundamental role in the function of dendritic cells, natural killer cells, and monocytes.

Eating more home-grown fruits and vegetables as well as choosing for a sustainable lifestyle will not only benefit your health but also the environment. Even if you do not have enough room to develop a big garden, you could use these urban vegetable garden ideas and make the most of the smallest spaces. You could try out innovative vertical gardening solutions, ranging from easy-access planters to hanging pots.
Nevertheless, you have to remember to use every possible inch you have on your balcony or your deck. If you want more than just a pot with essentials, then stacked raised beds could be one of the best solutions. The raised beds system will assure you that every plant you put there has equal access to the sunlight. However, you have to pay attention to the solution you use depending on the area you live in.
Keep in mind that reflected heat in urban areas can damage the plant really fast, drying out the soil. To make sure your plants will not die in this environment, you could use a slow-delivering drip irrigation system. In what follows, we will provide some urban vegetable garden ideas to help you have a healthy diet.
Even if you may think that this is a really small space for a garden, you have no idea how many foods you can grow there. Square foot gardening consists of 4×4 boxes placed on the ground. You should use high-quality soil for your small garden. Then, you should divide it into square-foot sections, making sure you have enough space between plants. In this way, you will make sure they have enough room to grow. Hence, you will be able to fit all the vegetables you want in a small garden.
This is the perfect solution for those who may not be really responsible with their plants, and they may forget to water them. If you want a small garden with the minimum effort and space, then this is the solution for you. In this way, you will get your homegrown products by using a small self-watering system. After you set up the system, you only have to put water in the reservoir. Therefore, the plant will be able to retrieve the water it needs through its roots.
This is one of the simplest urban vegetable garden ideas. Developing a one-pot vegetable garden is a simple solution, using a small place. All you have to do is to drill a few drainage holes in a galvanized water trough. Next, you have to add soil and plant complementary groups of plants. You can plant tomatoes together with chives, jalapenos, and basil.
A gutter garden is extremely useful in case you do not have enough space to spare. When space-saving is a problem, then you could use this urban vegetable garden idea. Furthermore, besides occupying less space, it also looks amazing. You will not have to worry about wild animals or bugs because this system keeps plants off the ground, in the sun.
If you are careful when watering the plants, you will make sure that the ground along the foundation and the house siding will not get wet. You can try to make it greener using salvaged gutters.
Developing your own vertical garden out of recyclable materials or some pieces of wood is even better.
This system works wonders, but if you want a personalized garden, you should know that you can get as creative as you want. Furthermore, you can also use salvaged materials and learn how to recycle. You can make vertical raised growing boxes. Some gardeners love to use mismatched wood when building a vertical garden. It could look amazing and you will also spare some good money if you do it yourself from some pieces of wood you have kept around the house.
This method of developing a garden full of flowers and plants will not only reveal your creative side, but it will color your entire house. Besides that, you can also use a WeeTree wall of plants to hide an ugly wall or to shade a building. Other gardeners also use it to grow food instead of plants. This system will allow you to grow row after row of ornamentals, vegetables, and herbs, even if you already have a postage stamp-sized yard.
Some may really like gardening, and they think that they could be dedicated gardeners if it weren't all about bending over and over to reach the plants. Well, here is your solution. No one said that your garden needs to be at the level of the ground. You could develop raised beds on platforms or table legs. A 'Small Space Salad Box' by Sunset may be just what you are looking for.
If you want to create it yourself, you will need some tools, glue, some 1x4s, and a redwood planter box. The attractive waist-high garden would look incredible, and it will be useful especially if you have back problems.
This is an innovative way to grow your favorite veggies or ornamental plants. Vertical gardening looks more like art. You should use the Woolly Pocket planter bags which are made of breathable recycled wool planter bags. Hence, they will keep your wall dry. However, at the same time, the planter bags keep moisture inside for the plants. Your new green wall will work well with any type of wall surface.
This option is similar to woolly pockets but is even cheaper than the previous method. Your canvas shoe organizer can be more useful than you have ever thought, helping you grow your plants. You should keep it off the wall using strips of wood. The innovative system works in the same way, but it excludes the wicking properties. Hence, you will have to frequently water it.
All these urban vegetable garden ideas can help you transform a corner of your yard into a small piece of heaven, with your favorite plants, ornamentals or even vegetables. If you want to eat healthy food, you need to grow it yourself. Use one of our suggestions here, developing mini-gardens out of recyclable materials. Furthermore, if you are e vegetarian or vegan, these tips will help you grow your own food in a healthy way.


San Francisco, CA, December 01, 2017 –(PR.com)– Elves, the popular human-assisted AI digital assistant that's swept the region by storm this year announced the successful close of its heavily oversubscribed seed round at more than $2 million dollars, making it the largest Seed in the region's history. Participating investors included Emaar, the Kauffman Fellows Syndicate, Dubai Angel Investors (their largest investment thus far), and a host of other Angels from the region and the US.
Elves funding reflects a continued strong appetite and investment in machine learning and its implications on building AI. Tech giants including Baidu and Google spent between $20B to $30B on AI in 2016 with 90% of that spent on R&D and deployment and 10% on AI acquisitions.
Funds will be used to grow and market Elves around the world as well as extend and introduce new core functionality to their custom built platform. Their proprietary platform allows them to raise the number of concurrent live users handled by the humans on the companies side (affectionately called Elves) to super human levels while maintaining human creativity and empathy.
It's been an incredible year so far for Elves, first coming to prominence at RiseUp 16, giving them tremendous exposure in the regional eco-system. This was followed by an invitation by Facebook to it's F8 developer conference where two of their products were featured and an invitation to the World Economic Forum where Elves was listed as one of the 100 most influential start-ups. A Forbes article later and they were suddenly on the radar of the legendary Sheryl Sandberg who posted her support.
Founded in June 2016, Elves App is a tech driven virtual assistant platform using a "human in the loop" methodology to drive machine learning and build AI. Users are afforded a chat based platform to talk to a "super human assistant" to do anything, anywhere in the world, for free.

Close Home Tournaments Finder Darts Masters Men
Finder Darts Masters Men
As successor of the European Grand Masters, which were held at various locations in the Netherlands in 1995 and 1996, the Grand Masters appear on the calendar in 2000. The first edition is played in Hardenberg.
The tournament is sponsored from 2001 to 2004 by the 'Doeland' chain of DIY stores before in 2005 a one-year cooperation with Leendesk secures the tournament. From 2007 until 2014 Hotel Zuiderduin, who have hosted the tournament since 2001, become the main sponsor. Since 2015 Finder is the new title sponsor.
The tournament is very popular with players and officials because they are looked after so exceptionally well. However, the tournament has got great difficulties in getting big national TV channels to broadcast their tournament. In 2007 they make a deal with the regional TV station North Holland.
The tournament has traditionally had a first round group phase, and then from the second round on it is knockout. Because the tournament is played in Holland and every year the organisers have a few wildcards to give, there are many Dutch names in the draws. However, there are only two Dutchmen who win the tournament, Raymond van Barneveld wins it three times in 2001, 2003 and 2004. In 2017 Danny Noppert is the champion.
Gary Anderson has two victories on his name and Glen Durrant takes the title three times. Furthermore, there are a lot of big names, often world champions on the cup such as Martin Adams, Scott Waites, Stephen Bunting and Tony David.

>Man versus Food | TriMadness!
I have a problem. My problem is food. Basically, I like food too much. Not just any food, either. Mostly I like food that is really crappy for me. I eat way too much fried food. Too much processed food. Too much bacon.
My excuse is that I exercise so that I can eat what I want. In reality, though, I eat because I like food. I like the taste. I like texture. I eat when I'm not hungry – just because it's there. I eat too many chips. Too many Buffalo wings. Too many fries. I always clean my plate, even if I'm full. I like ice cream too much.
I've gained almost 15 pounds since I finished my Ironman back in November.
So, I'm making a resolution (is it weird to make a resolution in the fourth month of the year?). Here it is. I'm giving up fried food, cookies, deserts, processed food, etc. My goal is to give these things up forever, but I need to be realistic about that. I, therefore, will take baby steps. At this point, I'm giving up this stuff for the remainder of April. I'll re-set the goal and make changes as needed at the beginning of May. I'm tempted to give up sodas too, but not sure that I can really accomplish that. Also – I'm going to be more cognizant of portion size…try to reduce 2nd helpings, etc.
Wish me luck. It's way too easy to say I'm going to do this stuff, and then not do it. The proof will be in the pudding (pun intended).
Don't forget to sign up for my contest (see below post) for some awesome Tri Swim products!
>I am with you. I haven't had to worry about weight for the last 4 years, then all of a sudden I am 15lbs. overweight and can't take it off. The culprit – food. Too much gluten free junk food in the house and frankly, I like how it tastes. I'm stepping away from the icing and dropping 15 lbs. NOW. We can give up the bacon together!
>Small changes can go a long way!! I've made some major changes to my diet too, and am more focused on what I'm eating… I can feel the difference immediately. For some reason, I also dropped soda… used to *need* at least one diet coke/coke zero per day… haven't had in about 2 weeks now, and I'm not even missing it! Good luck, you can do it!
>I agree with Mel, small changes go a long way. I started incorporating more fruits and veggies and noticed that they filled me up more and I had less appetite for the crappy foods! Good luck!
>Good luck man… I fight the same demons and the older you get, the harder it is to lose the weight. Sometimes it is good to have the once a week or month "splurge" to keep it real.
>Joel – I love to eat too! I am about 3 pounds up from IMFL, which all hits my stomach. If I could just put the fork down! 🙂 Good luck and keep us posted.
>Good luck!! I am constantly seeking that balance of mostly healthy with a little bit of splurging, but can't seem to do it. I almost always do better when it's just all or nothing.

Communist Workers Party
Symbol of Masses' Unprecedented Openness to Party Leadership: 900 Shipyard Workers Sick Out!
First Published: Workers Viewpoint, Vol. 5, No. 18, May 26, 1980.
SAN DIEGO Ca. – On April 1, 900 shipyard workers called in sick to their jobs at National Steel and Shipbuilding Co. (Nassco) in San Diego. Led by Communist Workers Party supporters, and cutting through intimidation from the KKK and opposition from the pro-Soviet social-imperialist "Communist" Labor Party ("C"LP), the workers' sickout put their words "NO, COLA, NO WORK" into action. The meaning of this job action guided by communists is more than a blow for COLA (cost of living adjustment) against inflation–like all workers across the country today, the shipyard workers bust out in anger around different issues because they are concrete manifestations of their deepest concerns–the conditions of their whole lives, the whole rotten system that's eating people alive. With the Party's leadership, this anger, deeper than ever before, is being organized and targeted into direct hits against the capitalist class, contributing to our preparation for the dictatorship of the proletariat in the 80's.
In this city where the inflation rate is higher than almost any other city, workers at Nassco have no real cost of living adjustment clause in their contracts and have 12 months to go till the contract expires. The rank and file of all unions and most of the union leadership of Ironworkers Local 627 have been active trying to force the company to renegotiate the COLA clause to give some relief to the' steady drop of the workers' purchasing power.
On March 27, the front parking lot at Nassco shook as hundreds of steel-toed boots stomped out for a rally, hand-painted signs and banners reading "COLA NOW" and "COLA YES, CARTER NO" set the tone as union leaders from Local 627 started the rally off. Speakers pointed out how inflation has gutted workers' paychecks while corporate profits soar. Militarization, their main cause of inflation, and the politicians playing election games were also hit. For example, San Diego Mayor Wilson, who likes to call workers greedy, recently voted himself a 25% pay hike.
During the rally, a chant arose–"NO COLA, NO WORK!" An "underground" leaflet surged through the crowd calling for a one-day sick-out April 1 to protest inflation and show the company that people mean business. Stickers had also gone up on the ships reading "Are you sick of inflation? NO Cola, No work, April 1"
Sickout Explodes Over KKK/"C"LP Sabotage Attempts
The day came and it was evident just by looking at the parking lot that people were staying out. At least 900 people called in sick, four times the usual number. The company definitely was worried and even put a vice-president on a local rock station to state the sick-out was a failure, trying to trick second shift into corning in. But much of second shift stayed out too.
Adding to the confusion and controversy over April 1 were the "Communist" Labor Party ("C"LP) and the fascist KKK who both spread the rumor that the sick-out was "an April Fool's joke" backed only by the CWP. Then attitude was "you have a contract, now stick to it." This shows the role played by "liberal" or "socialist" groups in the face of rising war and fascism here in America. By coming out against the work stoppage and in fact working to sabotage the entire COLA campaign, the "C"LP runs interference for their brothers the fascists like the KKK. This is no accident. In Germany, it was the "liberals" who allowed Hitler to come to power because they were so preoccupied with stopping the real leaders of the German working class – the communists. Meanwhile, workers' resistance was weakened. The capitalist class that owns the factories and banks need the Klan to divide the workers up and to spearhead attacks on communists and other working class leaders as the Greensboro assassination of the CWP 5 shows. At the same time, the capitalists need the phony liberals and socialists to keep the people trapped within "proper, legal channels" and to blind them to the growing fascist danger with "democratic" illusions.
Workers' Action on COLA Issue Symbolizes Concern Over Whole System
Today's situation is very fluid with people's lives put in crisis by unprecedented capitalist decline. It seems there's a new attack against the workers everyday in the yards–from inadequate ventilation burning out their lungs, to speed-up harassment, to trying to force the workers to plaster their names on their hardhats so the foremen can tell who's doing what from far away, to the suspensions of two stewards right after the sick-out.
People form strong opinions on a lot of things and change them rapidly, so someone who goes home instead of joining a militant rally one week may join the sick-out the next. Because each issue is only a manifestation of their real motivation and deeper concern with the whole system in crisis, workers may call in sick to protest inflation one week, beat up a foreman over harassment the next, and burn their tax forms the week after that.
What this means is organizing a campaign around an issue may seem to lose momentum very fast. But where a demonstration around one issue may fire up somebody, he may actually be burning deeper about something else–such a worker is like a volcano rumbling that spits fire here and there but is more seriously considering a massive eruption. So an issue may lose momentum, but the fire continues to burn deeper.
It is the view that confines organizing to a single issue ("issue orientation," economism, or anti-communism like the "C"LP) that actually is not in tune with the real system-wide concerns of the majority of workers today, and deadens their political interest and ability. Communist organizing in the unions and plants still requires bold, hard-hitting pacesetting campaigns around economic issues (like a fight to decertify a union hated and abandoned by the masses) to concretize the Party's propaganda and help provide conditions for workers to voluntarily accept the Party's leadership.
The task for communists is to grasp more tightly than ever before propaganda as our chief form of activity to give coherent understanding, strategic class confidence and a clear target to the workers. We must explain to the masses why the 80's economic crisis is deeper than the 30's Depression and what this means for the immediate prospects for proletarian revolution. We must push this must push this communist propaganda/agitation in creative ways such as the political/military skirmish with the state/KKK last month in Kokomo, Indiana. The tasks ahead cannot be accomplished through individual campaigns, like the Nassco campaign around COLA, alone – the individual struggles must take place under the influence and in the larger context of the Party's political and theoretical leadership. The moral authority for the 80's will be shaped and can only be shaped under this line and this line alone.
