KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS NOT GOING TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE REGULAR DOMESTIC SPATS AND THE WOMAN WHO LEAVES AND IS CONSTANTLY FOLLOWED, HARRASSED, VIOLATED AND THE SITUATION IS GOING TO ESCALATE. THE ODDS THAT A WOMAN IS MORE LIKELY TO BE KILLED IF SHE LEAVES ARE GREAT.THE ONLY WAY THIS MIGHT BE AVERTED IS IF THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE AND DEFINITIVE PROGRAM FOR THE ABUSER AND VICTIM FROM THE FIRST INCIDENT. THESE ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THE LEGAL SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF "YOU CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE".
AN EVEN BETTER THOUGHT IS PREVENTION. THE SELF-IMPOSED IDENTITY OF A WOMAN WHO "CAN'T MAKE IT ON HER OWN" IS ONE THAT WILL ENCOURAGE A WOMAN TO PICK ANY MAN, EVEN IF HE IS THE WRONG ONE. THE BOTTOM FEEDERS ARE EASY TO FIND. BECOME ALL THAT YOU CAN BE AND LIKE YOURSELF ON YOUR OWN. VALUE YOURSELF!
IF YOU DON'T KNOW, A RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE A SAFE HAVEN. IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO IS SYMPATHETIC AND THINKS THAT MAN'S PAST IS THE PAST, THINK THAT THOSE NEGATIVE THINGS ARE LIES OR THAT YOU CAN REFORM HIM, DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF INTO THINKING THAT YOU CAN CHANGE HIM! YOUR GOOD QUALITIES WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU. DON'T JUST LOOK FOR GOOD QUALITIES. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. CHECK HIM OUT! WHAT'S THE HURRY? IF YOU ARE DELIBERATELY HARMED PHYSICALL OR MENTALLY, RUN WHILE YOU CAN.REMEMBER, LISA'S MURDERER SAID THAT HE ONLY SLAPPED HER ONCE. THERE'S SOMEONE BETTER FOR YOU.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF NUMBER ONE AND THAT'S YOU.
TAKING LISA'S MESSAGES TO YOU.
HELLO, iVE BEEN "AWAY" FOR A WHILE. i'VE BEEN COMFORTING MY "BEST BUD" OF 20 YEARS WHILE HE LEFT ME FOR ANOTHER PLACE. HE DIED IN MY ARMS ON APRIL 9 .THIS LEADS ME TO TELL YOU MY EXPERIENCE WITH JOE.
WE HAD TALKED ON THE PHONE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE WE DECIDED TO MEET HALFWAY BETWEEN OUR RESPECTIVE CITIES. HE CHOSE A FAMILY TYPE RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH. I THOUGHT," I GUESS ALCOHOL IS NOT A NECESSITY." I WAS USED TO GUYS PULLING UP TO MY CONDO IN A SPORTY OR LXURIOUS CAR WITH FLOWERS AND FOLLOWED BY AN EVENING OF DINNER AND DANCING. WHEN I SAW HIM PULL UP INTO THE PARKING LOT IN HIS LITTLE RED CAR,, I LOOKED OVER AND SAIDTO MYSELF, "OH, NO, TOO OLD, TOO SHOR,T NOT ENOUGH HAIR. THIS WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY MEETING." AFTER LUNCH, WE WALKED TO HIS CAR WHERE HE SHOWED ME PICTURES OF HIS FAMILY AND THEN WENT TO A PARK ACROSS THE STREET WHERE WE SAT AT A PICNIC TABLE AND HE SHOWED ME PICTURES OF HIS FAMILY FROM AN ALBUM. WE FINALIZED OUR DATE WITH A TRIP TO THE LOCAL DAIRY QUEEN. I THOUGHT" "HOW BIZARRE, AND HOW ABSOLUTELY REFRESHING"!
THERE IS SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT WE ARE NATURE CUED TO PICK THE MOST TALL, MOST HANDSOME, MOST STRONG, MOST VIRILE LOOKING MEN IN ORDER TO CHOOSE THE BEST MATE TO PROTECT US AND SIRE THE BEST CHILDREN. THIS APPLIES TO MEN AS WELL, WHO LOOK FOR THE YOUNGEST, MOST FERTILE AND ATTRACTIVE WOMEN. WELL, GUESS WHAT? TtHESE ARE THE WRONG CUES FOR A HAPPY RELATIONSHIP. WE DON'T NEED PROTECTION AND WE DON'T NEED A VOLATILE, DOMINANT MALE.
iF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET A MAN WHO IS SHORT, BALD, DOESN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY IS KIND AND GENTLE, WITH WHOM YOU SHARE VALUES AND LAUGHTER AND FUN, GRAB HIM BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES. IF ONE OF HIS GREATEST PLEASURES IN LIFE IS BEING LOYAL TO YOU AND RUBBING YOUR FEET, YOU'RE WAY AHEAD OF THE GAME.
THE OLD BOY'S CLUB WAS ALREADY AT WORK AT THE TIME OF LEE'S AND THE GIRLS PENDING PURCHASE OF THEIR HOME. THERE WAS A MEETING WITH ALL THE ATTORNEYS FOR THE TRUST AND THE BANK. SHE ARRIVED EARLY. ONLY ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS WAS THERE AND HIS FIRST REMARK TO LEE WAS, "YOU KNOW, VINCENTE SAID THAT YOU WERE MOVING IN WITH A MAN, AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT."
LEE'S MOUTH DROPPED OPEN. sHE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BELIEVE ANYTHING VINCENTE TOLD THEM. THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT TRUE DID NOT ANGER HER SO MUCH AS THEIR INEVITABLE ACCEPTANCE OF ANYTHING HE SAID TO DEFAME HER. SHE HAD WITNESSED, FIRSTHAND, HOW ATTORNEYS FAWNED OVER HER EX-HUSBAND. THIS IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT SHE SOLELY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING THE TRUST AND ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GIRLS AND THE TRUST, AND UNLIKE HER, HAD NO PERSONAL FINANCIAL INVESTMENT.. THIS WOULD CONTINUE OVER THE YEARS TO THE EXTENT OF DRIVING HER ALMOST OVER THE EDGE.
THEY'RE OUT THERE. KNOW IT AND WATCH FOR IT.
WHO CAN TELL ME WHY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST?
Who can tell me why? Human rights are a societal issue. Where is the Civil Liberties Union when a man beats his wife or girlfriend and it's ruled a misdemeanor, but it's called a felony when he hits another man. We need people in the legal system with "the right stuff". People who are justice driven and not money or criminal driven. There could be no more important career choice for a woman or man that to enter the system, stand up and expect accountability from those we are supposed to be able to trust.

#NEWMUSICPOWERCOUPLE
Shoutout to the @GreatestMusicOfManAndWomankind IG feed, which recently turned me on to the work of Charles Amirkhanian. From 1969 to 1992, he was the music director of KPFA (Berkeley, CA), the flagship station of the Pacifica Radio Network, where he hosted countless programs featuring guests from the world of experimental contemporary classical avant-garde music (or, in the parlance of the times: "new music"). Said IG feed pointed out a 2-hour 1980 episode of Morning Concert that was hanging out on archive.org, in which Amirkhanian's guest was Eliane Radigue, and from there I found a 1979 episode of the same program with guests Joan La Barbara and Morton Subotnick. I wondered if Joan and Morton appeared in two different segments, but it turns out they were a married couple then (how did I not know that?) and still are (he's almost 86 and she'll be 72 in June). They both sound so cool and intelligent and nicely humored, and wow, the music on the show: a super-great excerpt from a Subotnick piece called "A Sky of Cloudless Sulfur," and my god, the holy of the holies, Joan's "Twelvesong." About 20 years ago (around the same time I bought my own cheapo second-hand copy of Silver Apples of the Moon), I was lucky enough to first hear her extended vocal pieces, thanks to an #oldhead (music-hound college professor, in this case). They've always haunted me, but "Twelvesong" is the hauntiest of them all, her unreal non-electronic vocal soundscape (the title refers not only to the 12:12 running time but to "twelve tracks of voice, layered") getting way into oft-forgotten subconscious nooks. (Not to mention crannies.)
ANITA O'DAY In Tokyo LP (EMILY RECORDS)
Released in 1978, an older, wearier, wiser Anita O'Day, post-heroin, enjoying a second career in Japan. A fine document of her easy chemistry with long-time drummer John Poole (they also co-owned the record label, Emily Records). Picked this LP up in a free stack at the local oldhead used bookstore which, against all Amazon-hellworld odds, is still open noon to 8pm every day. And speaking of the neighborhood, Anita O'Day is my all-time favorite former attendee of Nicholas Senn High School, a mere 15 blocks away from Blastitude HQ (and she's got a real rogue's gallery of competitors for that honor, including William Friedkin, Harvey Korman, Harold Ramis, and Shecky Greene himself). She might be your favorite Senn alum too if you've seen her smashing outfit and stoned improvisational regality onstage at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, as indelibly captured in the film Jazz on a Summer's Day (1960, d. Bert Stern, Aram Avakian).
Even if that performance somehow doesn't do the trick, I know you'll love her early 1940s tenure with the Gene Krupa band, especially the super-fun (and for the time daringly integrated) million-selling 1942 duet with trumpeter/vocalist Roy Eldridge, "Let Me Off Uptown."
I wondered if the song was meant to be about Chicago's legendary northside entertainment district, just a couple miles south of where I type, though figured they were probably talking about the more nationally known "uptown" of Harlem, New York. Then again, c'mon... Anita grew up and learned how to be a jazz singer in Chicago's Uptown, and Krupa was from Chicago too. As luck would have it, she wrote a great memoir in the 1980s called High Times Hard Times, and it answers the question with this crucial passage featuring the song's lyricist Redd Evans (as well as good ole Senn High):
Senn Junior High had my body between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, but my mind was wandering the taverns of the Uptown district. In 1936, Chicago was still a toddlin' town. In addition to the big clubs and theaters in the Loop that used stars, there were a lot of funky Uptown hangouts such as the Barrel of Fun, Liberty Inn, Warm Friends, and, of course, the 5100 Club where eventually Danny Thomas was to make his name.
At school, the only time I felt I was living was during Friday afternoon entertainments. I was obsessed with music and Fridays I'd let it all out. The rest was zilch. The way I looked at it was I had to serve my sentence.
On December 18, which I thought was my sixteenth birthday, I split again. That night I sneaked out the window of our apartment, as I'd been doing since the truant officer got me, went over to the 5100 Club where a lot of kids hung out on the street, listening to Fletcher Henderson's brother Horace blow. Horace had a terrific band. On this particular night, I fell into conversation with the cat named Redd Evans, who played the sweetpotato (ocarina) with Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights. He and I got to singing and I really felt alive, as if I was where the action was at last.
"I like riffs, don't you?" Redd asked.
"Riffs? What are they?"
He sang one, then explained that it was a repeated musical phrase. I really dug that. Riffs became the center of my world. I went around working out riffs all the time. So Redd had an influence on me from the first time we met.
Hey Anita, guess what? I like riffs too. There's no doubt that Anita knows and feels and gets music, with passages to that effect throughout, like this nice one about Charlie Parker:
I idolized Charlie Parker because I would say he was one of the great jazz geniuses of all time. He changed the whole face of the music. What I mean is that when Louis Armstrong became popular, all trumpet players had to change their styles. Not the rest of the band. But when Charlie Parker became popular with his be-bop tunes, everybody had to change his style -- the drummer, the piano player, the singer, whoever.
There's also this excellent episode of the NPR program Jazz Profiles that spans her entire career, with lots of great interviews and musical selections. I love it when John Poole emphatically points out that she wrote a song called "Rock and Roll Blues," and the year she wrote it was 1947, long before Elvis Presley showed up. (Maybe he's so emphatic about the year because a recording of the song didn't seem to come out until 1952.) Could it be that the swing era is the actual birth of rock'n'roll? I did once say on twitter that Gene Krupa was the first rock star....

POST-POSTSCRIPT:
Finally wrapping up this Anita O'Day piece, to the point where I'm even filing the LP, and I thought it was notable that it was right next to The Visitor by Jim O'Rourke. He didn't go to Senn, but he is also from Chicago, and not all that far away. "I grew up on the northwest side of Chicago, near the airport, near the beginning of the suburbs," is what he told Popwatch magazine (issue #8, Winter-Spring 1997), and I swear I remember him saying, in a different interview I can't find, something about going to the Goldblatt's store in Anita's old haunt Uptown to buy records when he was a kid. It's an impressive historic building, built in 1915. Anita would've also known it as Goldblatt's, as they were in the building for a very long time, from 1931 until they finally closed down in 1998, possibly an early victim of the internet. It became a Border's Book Store in 2004, which is how I knew the building as a Chicagoan. That store never felt quite right, and was definitely a victim of the internet when it closed in 2012. The building has been shuttered since, and even with the forces of hypergentrification that have swept into so much of Chicago, Uptown remains a relatively funky multicultural big-city music neighborhood, with shows almost every night at the Aragon, the Riviera, and the Green Mill.

The Summer Associate position is competitive and based on applicant's qualifications, ability to communicate information and concepts, and follow instructions and processes.
For a detailed position description and application instructions, please review the link below.
As the water market continues to grow in the west, WestWater has expanded our team of professionals, and we are pleased to introduce new colleagues in our Arizona and Colorado locations.
Walraven Ketellapper has joined WestWater Research as an Outside Operating Advisor, providing strategic advice on water acquisition, deal origination and water rights due diligence.
Walraven is highly regarded in the water transaction profession and joins us after a successful career of over 40 years of executing complex water transactions. He is one of the rare few who have successfully invested private capital in water rights. Located in Boulder, Colorado, Walraven has decided to wind down his water transaction business but wanted to maintain his market influence through his relationship with WestWater.
Audrey Arnao completed her 2017 Summer Associate internship with WestWater and has recently accepted a full-time position as the firm's newest Research Analyst.
In 2018, Audrey received her Bachelor of Science in Economics from Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University where she completed her honors thesis on the effects of water right heterogeneity on California water market prices. She is based in our Phoenix office and will be covering market and price trends in Arizona and southern California.
WestWater's Summer Associate program is a three-month internship open to qualified graduate and undergraduate students who have an interest in studying Resource or Agricultural Economics, Economics, Finance, Business, or a related field. The program is an ideal opportunity for those who are seeking professional experience in water rights marketing, water asset valuation, water project consulting, and water resource investments. This year we are pleased to announce our Summer Associates in Phoenix, and Fort Collins.

The Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest groundwater basins in the United States, underlying eight states and supplying over 30% of the groundwater used for irrigation in the entire United States. Roughly $7 billion worth of crops are grown each year with groundwater supplied by the aquifer. The Ogallala Aquifer is quite stratified, both in terms of groundwater available and in how states are managing the resource. Since pre-development (1950), the Aquifer has seen about 270 million acre-feet of overdraft, which represents a 9% decline in total groundwater storage. Physical and institutional water scarcity are often catalysts for water market development, and so WestWater spent time this summer examining water trades in the Ogallala Aquifer in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Texas. Read more about our findings in the most recent Water Market Insider.
AcreValue has teamed up with the water rights experts at WestWater Research ("WestWater") to enhance the company's online agricultural and land marketplace. With the addition of WestWater's internal water data, AcreValue users can now access basic water price and lease data.
Waterlitix™ was developed and is maintained by WestWater Research and serves as the world's largest and most comprehensive water market price and lease database. A portion of Waterlitix™ data will now be accessible through AcreValue's online agricultural property portal containing millions of various land parcels.
This partnership will allow AcreValue users to view basic transaction information from Waterlitix™, including prices and lease rates over the past four years in 13 western states. This unique collaboration has created the first ever map-based tool to display water market sales in the US where pricing information has been virtually impossible to find.
AcreValue is quickly becoming the leading source of farmland information, and WestWater recognized the opportunity to provide water pricing data as a fundamental component of the ever-expanding agricultural land value platform.
The U.S. has seen several coal power plant closures in recent years with many more on the way in the next 10 years. Coal power generation is considered to be relatively inexpensive, but it does demand a large amount of water compared to natural gas plants and renewable energy sources such as wind and PV solar. The closure or conversion of many coal plants in the Western U.S. means that a new source of water could be on the market in the next decade, as the energy companies reduce their need for water. These changes in coal plants are estimated to result in about 84,000 acre-feet per year of reduced water demand in the Western U.S. with a market value of roughly $300 million. In the current issue of the Water Market Insider, WestWater discusses the impact on water demands as coal production decreases.
WestWater Research is now seeking applicants for the 2017 summer internship position. Qualified individuals will be current MBA students or Bachelors graduates in economics or finance. Applications are due by April 7th..
If you are interested in an internship with WestWater, please send your cover letter and resume to employment@waterexchange.com.
Brett Bovee recently wrote a short article for the Colorado Real Estate Journal describing basic concepts in valuing water rights, and providing some basic water market statistics for the Northern Colorado region. The article explains the underlying concepts that frame how water rights are valued in transactions and how WestWater often looks at the value of a particular water right.

From the Executive Secretary
How to Become a Faculty Rep
2020 Notes to Faculty Reps
Sample Candidate Materials
Announcing $30,000 Scholarships for College Students Who Want to Make a Difference
Deadline for receipt of nominations: February 4, 2020
About Us: The Truman Foundation
The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation - the federal memorial to our thirty-third President - awards merit-based scholarships to college students who plan to pursue careers in government or elsewhere in public service. Truman Scholars receive up to $30,000 for graduate or professional school, participate in leadership development activities, and have special opportunities for internships and employment with the federal government.
The Scholarship: Awards and Programming
The Foundation provides:
Up to $30,000 toward a public service-related graduate degree. The Foundation has supported Truman Scholars in many fields of study, from agriculture, biology, engineering, technology, medicine, and environmental management, to fields such as economics, education, government, history, international relations, law, political science, public administration, nonprofit management, public health, and public policy.
Truman Scholars Leadership Week. This event, held at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, introduces new Scholars to the services provided by the Foundation and the many pathways to public service. Scholars participate in seminars and workshops with distinguished Truman alumni and other public service leaders, a group exercise about policy implementation, a graduate school and career fair with representatives from the schools and programs most attended by Truman Scholars, and community service events in the Kansas City area; this event is required of all Scholars.
Summer Institute. Immediately after college graduation, Scholars have the opportunity to participate in an eight-week Summer Institute in Washington, DC. The Foundation helps to arrange internships with government agencies and nonprofit organizations, seminars and workshops, meetings with Washington policymakers and Truman alumni, and opportunities for community building among Scholars.
Truman-Albright and Other Fellows Program. After Summer Institute, Scholars may elect to stay in Washington, DC, for a full year in the Truman-Albright Fellows Program; Truman-Albright Fellows are placed in public service jobs while participating in workshops, seminars, and mentoring opportunities. Additional fellowship opportunities, outlined on the Truman website, are available for Scholars as they move through the early stages of their careers in public service.
Guidelines & Eligibility: What Makes a Good Truman Scholar?
Each nominee for the Truman Scholarship must be:
a full-time junior-level student at a four-year institution pursuing a bachelor's degree during the 2019-2020 academic year. 'Junior' here means a student who plans to continue full-time undergraduate study and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree between December 2020 and August 2021, or a student in his or her third year of collegiate study who expects to graduate during the 2019-2020 academic year;
nominated by the Truman Scholarship Faculty Representative at his or her institution;
in the upper quarter of his or her class; and
a United States citizen or a United States national from American Samoa. Resident aliens (green card holders) are not eligible.
A good candidate for the Truman Scholarship meets the above eligibility requirements and also:
has an extensive record of public and community service;
has outstanding leadership potential and communication skills; and
is committed to a career in government or elsewhere in public service, as defined by the Foundation.
The Foundation defines public service as employment in government at any level, uniformed services, public-interest organizations, nongovernmental research and/or educational organizations, public and private schools, and public service-oriented nonprofit organizations.
In 2020, one scholarship will be available to a qualified resident nominee in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and, considered as a single entity, the Islands: Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. (Residency is generally determined by home address for school registration, family's primary residence, and voter registration.) The Foundation may select up to 15 at-large Scholars in 2020.
The Nomination Procedure
The Institution of Higher Education. Candidates must first be nominated by the Truman Faculty Representative at their institution. Each accredited four-year institution may nominate up to four students for the 2019 awards. Four-year institutions may also nominate three additional students who completed academic work at another institution. Institutions may nominate candidates who are participating in junior year abroad programs. Participation by Two-Year institutions. Two-year institutions may nominate up to four former students who, by February 4, 2020, will be enrolled as full-time students with junior-level academic standing at accredited four-year institutions.
The Truman Faculty Representative. The president of each participating institution appoints a Truman Faculty Representative who establishes a process to select the institution's nominees. Candidates typically undergo an on-campus selection process to become one of the institution's nominees. Faculty Representatives also help nominees prepare for the competition and submit the nomination materials to the Foundation by the specified deadline via our online application process. Interested persons should visit www.truman.gov to find a Faculty Representative at a particular institution or to obtain guidance on establishing a Faculty Representative at an institution.
The application and nomination materials. Once a Faculty Representative has decided to nominate a student, he or she must log in to the Foundation website and complete a Nomination Form. The candidate will then receive an email from the Foundation with the instructions on how to access the online application. In the meantime, candidates may use the sample application on the website as a guide.
Nomination Deadline
The complete nomination package must be submitted by February 4, 2020.
1. The Finalists Selection Committee. A committee examines all nominations and selects about 200 Finalists to be interviewed for Truman Scholarships. Finalists are selected on the basis of:
extent and quality of community service and government involvement;
leadership record;
academic performance, writing and analytical skills; and
suitability of the nominee's proposed program of study for a career in public service.
2. The Regional Review Panels. Regional selection panels interview Finalists in March and early April, and select Truman Scholars largely on the basis of:
leadership potential and communication skills;
intellectual strength and analytical ability; and
likelihood of 'making a difference' in public service.
If a Panel judges that none of the Finalists from a state adequately meets each of these criteria, it does not select any candidate from that state. The scholarship will be carried over to 2021 when two scholarships will be available to qualified residents.
Scholarship Conditions and Accountability
The award may be used only for tuition, fees, books, room and board, or other specifically approved expenses. Payments from the Foundation may be received to supplement, but not to duplicate, benefits from the educational institution or from other foundations, institutions, or organizations. The combined benefits from all sources may not exceed the costs of tuition, fees, books, and room and board as prescribed by the institution.
Scholars may defer, for up to four years, Foundation support for their graduate studies after completion of their undergraduate studies. Scholars in graduate study programs supported by other means and Scholars in the Armed Forces may request additional years of deferral.
Scholars are required to work in public service for three of the seven years following completion of a Foundation-funded graduate degree program as a condition of receiving funding. Scholars who are not employed in public service for a total of three years, or who fail to provide proof to the Foundation of such employment, will be required to repay any funds received along with interest. The Foundation will have an appeals process for those Scholars in special circumstances.
The Foundation may withhold or terminate a scholarship due to unsatisfactory academic performance or failure, as judged by the Foundation, to prepare specifically for a career in public service.
Special announcements, information regarding eligibility, a sample application form, and a listing of Faculty Representatives are available on the Foundation's website.

October 6, 2018, 12:09 GMT-0500 Fortnite
Fortnite revenue on iOS devices has reached $300 million
The figure was reached in 200 days.
Adam Newell
Fortnite: Battle Royale has reached an impressive revenue milestone on iOS devices. Just 200 days after the popular game was first launched in the iOS store, Fortnite has made $300 million, according to statistics website SensorTower.
In fact, Fortnite players on iOS devices have been spending an average of $1.5 million per day since the game launched and about $2.5 million since season six started on Sept. 27.
This figure surpasses some of the biggest mobile games out there in their own first 200 days of operation. Clash Royale made just under $250 million in its first 200 days, $50 million less than what Fortnite has achieved.
Image via [SensorTower](https://sensortower.com/blog/fortnite-revenue-300-million)
In comparison, PUBG Mobile only made around $47 million in revenue on iOS devices. PUBG Mobile has been available for nearly the same length of time since it was released on April 15.
Fortnite is still far from being the most profitable mobile game in a short span of time, however. Niantic's Pokémon Go reached the $300 million mark in just 113 days, and it's still making a ton of revenue to this day.


Labor Zionist activist Hayim Greenberg (1889-1953) was among the most severe critics of the American Jewish community's response to news of the Holocaust.
Greenberg grew up in Russia but emigrated after being arrested by the Soviet authorities for his Zionist activity. He arrived in the United States in 1924 and soon become editor of the U.S. Labor Zionists' two publications, Jewish Frontier and the Yiddisher Kempfer.
Greenberg's searing essay about American Jews and the Holocaust, "Bankrupt," appeared in the Yiddisher Kempfer on February 12, 1943. It began by sarcastically proposing "a day of prayer and of fasting" for American Jewry, because of "the vacuity, the hardness, and the dullness that has come over them…a kind of epidemic inability to suffer or to feel compassion" for Europe's Jews. "If moral bankruptcy deserves pity, and if this pity is seven-fold for one who is not even aware how shocking his bankruptcy is, then no Jewish community in the world today (not even the Jews who are now in the claws of the Nazi devourer) deserves more compassion from Heaven than does American Jewry," Greenberg wrote.
Greenberg chastised Jewish leaders for permitting religious and political differences, and "tragi-comically inflated prestige considerations," to interfere with unified action for European Jewry. "Every [Jewish group] cherishes its own committee-interests, its sectarian ambitions, its exclusively wise strategy and its 'power position' in the teapot of Jewish communal competition," he wrote. Greenberg urged them to "set up (temporarily, for the duration of the emergency only) some kind of General Staff that should meet every day and think and consult and consider ways" to promote rescue.
Jewish organizations were wrong to be "satisfied and apparently calmed" by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's promise to punish Nazi killers after the war, Greenberg wrote. He urged Jewish leaders to demand "that millions of Jews should be saved before the victory." This appears to have been the first public criticism, in a Jewish publication, of the Roosevelt administration's position on rescue.
Appearing only in Yiddish, at a time when the Yiddish-language press was in serious decline, "Bankrupt," stirred little comment in the Jewish community.

Federal COVID Vaccine Mandate (as of November 4, 2021)
The following was published in HR Dive's Daily Brief on November 4th, 2021.
Employers with more than 100 employees will need to implement a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for their employees — and offer a weekly testing alternative to those who refuse or are unable to receive a vaccine — by Jan. 4, 2022, according to an emergency temporary standard issued Thursday by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
In determining whether they meet the 100-employees threshold, employers must include all employees across all of their U.S. locations, regardless of employees' vaccination status or where they perform their work, per the ETS. Part-time employees do count towards the company total, but independent contractors do not. Additional sections of the ETS detail how the threshold should be determined in situations involving franchisees, multi-employer workplaces and staffing agencies.
All covered employers are required by the ETS to bear the cost of providing up to four hours of paid time and reasonable paid sick leave needed to support vaccination, but where an employee chooses to remain unvaccinated, the ETS does not require employers to pay for the costs associated with regular COVID-19 testing or the use of face coverings. Some employees may be entitled to reasonable accommodation from their employer, absent undue hardship, due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief. Stakeholders have until 30 days after the date of the rule's publication to submit public comments.

'Crime And Punishment': How Russian Banks Anticipated And Dealt With Global Financial Sanctions – Analysis
June 20, 2021 June 20, 2021 VoxEU.org 0 Comments

Financial sanctions against Russia's state-owned and controlled banks were imposed consecutively between 2014 and 2019, allowing banks that would potentially be targeted in the future to adjust their international and domestic exposures. This column explores the informational effects of financial sanctions, showing that compared to similar private banks, 'not yet sanctioned' financial institutions immediately reduced their foreign assets while, rather unexpectedly, expanding their foreign liabilities. These informational effects crucially depend on geography, with targeted banks located further from Moscow decreasing their foreign assets by more and raising foreign liabilities by less than those located near the Kremlin.
By Mikhail Mamonov, Anna Pestova and Steven Ongena*
Politics affects the banking sector in many ways (e.g. Calomiris and Huber 2014). For example, governments in many countries direct commercial bank lending to specific sectors and/or stimulate lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (e.g. Brown and Dinc 2005). And during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, many governments created emergency loan guarantee schemes that were covering and spurring their banks' lending. In this column, we turn to another recent and striking episode of political impact, namely, the global financial sanctions on Russian banks with close ties to their domestic government that commenced in 2014 and were sequentially imposed on various banks during a five-year period. In general, economic sanctions become increasingly popular from 2010s, being mostly driven by the US to restrain politically unfavourable regimes (Felbermayr et al. 2021). While their effects at the firm level are well studied (Crozet et al. 2021, Ahn and Ludema 2020, Belin and Hanousek 2020),1 the effects of sanctions at the bank level remain unclear.
The sequential imposition of the Western sanctions against Russia's largest state banks constitutes a very interesting and policy-relevant laboratory to analyse not only the immediate effects on the already-sanctioned banks, but also the effects on those banks that are not yet sanctioned but that seem to be targeted and may be sanctioned in the near future. The point is that such targeted banks have time to adjust their international operations before the actual sanctions materialise. Henceforth, we refer to the immediate effects of sanctions on the sanctioned banks as direct effects, and we refer to the adjustments of the potentially targeted but not yet sanctioned banks to the anticipated sanctions as informational effects.
According to the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), over the period of 2014–2019, financial sanctions were imposed on 44 banks that were owned or controlled by either the state or major oligarchs in Russia. However, the ownership structure of banks is fuzzy – some banks could be formally private but are in fact influenced by the state through a chain of other state-owned firms and banks. As shown by Karas and Vernikov (2019), who attempted to unfold such chains through a comprehensive analysis of firms' annual financial reports, there are at least 40 banks that are controlled by the state but left uncovered by the sanctions. This creates an interesting effect of treatment diffusion, since not only the actually sanctioned banks but also the (as yet) uncovered banks could adapt their operations in advance.
In a recent study, we estimate and compare the direct and informational effects of sanctions against the largest Russian banks with respect to their international and domestic operations and address the issue of treatment diffusion due to fuzzy bank ownership structure (Mamonov et al. 2021).
Stylised facts, or what the raw bank data say about the sanctions
From the OFAC database one can infer that there are two major types of sanctions: those affecting debt and those restricting assets. The former represent restrictions mainly on placement of new debt in international markets; the latter impose restrictions on foreign asset holdings of treated banks. Henceforth, we label these two types of sanctions 'debt' and 'asset' sanctions, respectively.2
Figure 1 plots the evolution of foreign liabilities and foreign asset holdings of selected Russian banks that faced sanctions between 2014 and 2019. The very first sanction arrived in March 2014 and crucially restricted the international operations of the Rossiya bank, owned by the Kovalchuk family (one of richest oligarch families in Russia). The assets sanctions had an immediate negative effect – the bank dramatically decreased its foreign assets (from 25% to 8%) and foreign liabilities (from 5% to 2%) within just one month.3 Other potentially targeted banks follow the Rossiya Bank.
Figure 1 Evolution of foreign assets and liabilities before and after sanctions for selected largest Russian banks
Note: The figures report foreign liabilities (black line) and foreign assets (grey line), as a percentage of respective total assets, of selected banks that faced sanctions. The red vertical line marks March 2014 — the month in which financial sanctions against Russian banks were imposed for the first time (the Bank Rossiya). The blue vertical line represents the period when individual sanctions were then introduced.
Primary effects of financial sanctions: International operations
To test the sanction effects, we first match sanctioned banks with never sanctioned banks using observable characteristics (1:4 nearest neighbourhood matching). We then run a difference-in-differences regression analysis on the matched sample of banks showing how the not yet sanctioned banks adjusted their international operations vis-à-vis matched banks in a specific time window around March 2014 (see Figure 2).
The estimation results clearly indicate that, first, not yet debt-sanctioned banks raised, rather than decreased, their international borrowings after March 2014 (by 3.8% of their total assets at peak). This implies the banks were treating foreign financial markets as an important source of (possibly cheaper than domestic) funds.
Second, not yet asset-sanctioned banks exhibited different reactions. After March 2014, they turned to decreasing both international borrowings (by 2.5% of their total assets at peak) and international asset holdings (by 2.2%). These figures suggest the banks decided to avoid gambling for Western funds.
Figure 2 Evolution of the informational effects of financial sanctions on foreign assets and liabilities (percentage points changes in terms of total assets)
Note: The figures report the difference-in-differences estimates on expanding windows [-k,k] with k=1,2… 36 months after the sanction imposition on the bank, Rossiya (March 2014). Sanctioned and non-sanctioned bank groups are matched within 1 year prior to March 2014.
Our further analysis shows that geography matters a lot in explaining these informational effects of the sanctions. First, not yet debt-sanctioned banks were less likely to expand foreign liabilities if located further from Moscow. Second, those not yet debt-sanctioned banks whose headquarters were located further from Moscow were more likely to reduce their international assets. Therefore, these banks could reveal a fear of asset freezes while being less sure on which of the two types of sanctions will be introduced. Third, not yet asset-sanctioned banks behave differently – specifically, they were less likely to reduce their international borrowings in the months after March 2014 if they were located outside Moscow. Geography may proxy for a differential exposure of these banks to the information on upcoming sanctions.
Secondary effects of financial sanctions: Domestic operations
Regarding domestic borrowed funds, we find that neither private nor corporate depositors organised withdrawals on not yet sanctioned banks. However, when the sanctions arrived, the sanction-based withdrawals amounted to -2.2% and -10% of the debt- and asset-sanctioned banks' total assets, respectively, despite the fact that the deposits insurance system was working perfectly well. The government worked fast. It stepped in and – either directly or indirectly (through inter-bank market) – supported the banks, thus preventing their disorderly failure.
Second, we reveal a 'credit reshuffling' effect. Both not yet debt- and asset-sanctioned banks turned to reducing loans to non-financial firms (Figures 3a and 3b) and raising loans to individuals (Figures 3c and 3d). The estimated size of this reshuffling is 4% of Russian GDP (average across 2014-2019). We interpret this result as the banks' forward-looking willingness to insure the profitability of their loan portfolios from a rising risk of sanctions against Russian firms per se.4
Figure 3 How banks adjusted their domestic lending after sanctions? (by sanction type, percentage points change in terms of total assets)
Note: The figures report the difference-in-differences estimates of the informational and direct effects of the financial sanctions on the domestic loans to individuals and firms by Russian targeted banks. The estimates are obtained by running DiD on expanding windows [-k,k] with k=1,2… 36 months after either bank-specific sanction date (direct effects, black lines) or the date of sanctions against the bank Rossiya (informational effects, pale red lines).
Hidden control by the state and treatment diffusion
The nearly 40 banks that were indirectly controlled by the government but were left uncovered by the sanctions (call them diffused banks) were in between the asset and debt-sanctioned banks in terms of size and had similar structure of their international operations. It is clear that the already sanctioned banks, if necessary, could transfer a part of their prohibited international operations to their unsanctioned subsidiaries, thus dampening the overall effects of sanctions.
We argue that the subjectively perceived probability of being sanctioned in the future crucially depends on the share of government-connected persons5 on the board of directors of either diffused or not yet sanctioned banks – the greater the share, the easier the recognition by Western countries, and the higher the subjective probability of being sanctioned. To create the government share variable, we manually collect the data on each and every member of the board of directors for each and every state-controlled bank that had or had not eventually been sanctioned. We extract this information from several sources, starting from the banks' annual financial reports, the persons' CVs, and Google Search.
Our results suggest that a one standard deviation increase in the share of government-connected persons on the board of directors raises the probability of being debt-sanctioned by between 1% and 4%, depending on the month, whereas the effects are near zero for asset sanctions.6
We find that those banks with government-connected persons on the board of directors were likely to behave very similarly to those banks that were eventually sanctioned. First, those who could anticipate debt sanctions were raising international borrowings, especially if located in Moscow, and decreasing their foreign assets, especially if located farther from Moscow. Second, those who could anticipate asset sanctions were reducing international borrowings and selling foreign assets in advance.
We believe our results may have important policy implications for both the Russian government and Western countries. For the former, our estimates imply that, if the imposition of sanctions were not phased-in, the negative effect could have been larger, which is economically inefficient for a country with long-lasting recessions. For the latter, our results indicate that, despite the phasing-in, the sanctions still had a significant effect.

1 Several studies complement our bank-level analysis by exploring the effects of sanction at the firm level. Belin and Hanousek (2020), for example, focus on Russian non-financial firms and study the effects of sanctions on their international trade flows vis-à-vis their US and EU trade partners. Ahn and Ludema (2020) also investigate the effects of sanctions against Russian firms, showing that the targeted approach to sanctions (i.e., smart sanctions), was new but efficient since they negatively affected the firms' activities while causing minimal 'collateral' damage. Davydov et al. (2021) analyse how European firms perceive Russia-related sanctions. Crozet et al. (2021) study the impact of sanctions against Russia (and other countries like Iran, Cuba, and Myanmar) on the probability of serving a market at the firm-level using monthly custom data on French firms.
2 According to the US Department of the Treasury, debt sanctions are called 'sectoral' while assets sanctions are titled 'entity'.
3 Before the sanctions, the bank Rossiya had intensive international operations borrowing funds from financial markets and granting loans to foreign banks and foreign non-financial firms. All these became minor after the sanctions in the long run. Another implication of sanctions is that Visa and Mastercard had blocked all operations of the bank's credit cards. The bank had lost its ability to carry out transactions in foreign currency. However, the Russian government had fully, and even over-, compensated these restrictions to the bank by increasing its deposits and by replacing "Alfa-bank" (the largest private bank in Russia, inside top-10 banks in terms of assets, never facing sanctions) with the bank Rossiya as an operator of the wholesale energy-market in the country (with annual turnover equalling 1.5% of GDP).
4 The firms themselves could face sanctions and stop repaying their debts while individuals (at least, those not in the OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list) were free of such 'sudden' constraints. Our conclusion on reductions of loans to firms is consistent with the findings in Ahn and Ludema (2020), who document that the sanctions indeed had a negative effect on Russian firms.
5 For instance, federal or municipal ministers, senators, city mayors, or regional governors from the ruling political party Edinaya Rossiya (literally, "United Russia"), oligarch families with close ties to the Kremlin, governors of other recognised state-controlled entities, and so on.
6 However, in respective logit regressions, we control for many other observable characteristics such as international operations, the structure of domestic assets and liabilities, quality of loans, profitability, and so on, so that we still obtain enough variation in the predicted probabilities of asset sanctions.

Television Jon Stewart The Daily Show Media Criticism Satire Accountability Mass Communication
The Role and Impact of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Taking Satire Seriously On A "Daily Show" Basis
By Matthew E. Popkin
2012, Vol. 4 No. 09 | pg. 12/12 | «
The Role of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Concluding Remarks
While The Daily Show is clearly comedic entertainment, it also provides valuable oversight of the American democratic process and political system. By constantly highlighting inconsistent, hypocritical, and unfounded claims, The Daily Show works to foster better discourse. Through sarcasm and humor, the show confronts political dissembling and inaccuracies, demanding a more accountable media and government.107
The program's critiques of specific networks and of the media more generally seek to make the news and journalistic process more accountable to viewers. Geoffrey Baym argued in 2005 that The Daily Show sought to "revive a spirit of critical inquiry" that had dissipated after 9/11.108 Stewart's now famous Crossfire appearance was perhaps the pinnacle of Stewart's criticism during the early existence of The Daily Show. Yet, since 2005, Stewart and The Daily Show have engaged in even more focused and harsh criticisms of the media, with the Cramer interviews likely being the peak in recent years. Both the Crossfire and Cramer segments are examples of the fact that Stewart has sparked multiple public and scholarly debates over the role of the media and the issue of to whom the media are responsible.
Moreover, Stewart, in his own interviews, has taken the initiative to demonstrate a more reasoned and substantive televised discussion, often debating serious political and philosophical issues with both those with whom he agrees and those with whom he disagrees. Stewart's interviews, like many other satirical critiques of the media and political process, are motivated by the lack of rational discourse that regularly pervade the democratic process.109 The Internet allows Stewart's interviews to not be restricted by television scheduling and advertising policies, and The Daily Show fully utilizes its online extended interviews, which sometimes last over half an hour.
Furthermore, the program's effectiveness in identifying the hypocrisy of prominent political and media figures drives home Stewart's message that claims, beliefs, and arguments of such figures should not always be taken at face value. An informed citizenry is necessary to holding its leaders accountable, and the show helps to inform by, in part, pointing out the contradictions that are made by prominent political figures.
Despite being a late-night comedy program on cable television, The Daily Show is not limited by its late-night time slot. Comedy Central replays the program twice a day, once in the early afternoon and once in the early evening. The show is also available online such that anyone with Internet access can watch any segment of the show since 1999. With the emergence of online social media, the video links are embedded frequently on The Huffington Post website and shared through Facebook, Twitter and other online networking sites. Thus, the program's reach is not limited to its late night television audience, and it is connecting with an ever-expanding audience as new online methods develop.
Stewart's reach and gravitas increased dramatically with his appearance on Crossfire in 2004, where he drew much attention, both positive and negative, for stepping out of his typical comedic role. In addition to engaging CNBC and Jim Cramer in early 2009, Stewart took on Bill O'Reilly, host of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor in February 2010. O'Reilly and Stewart had crossed paths before, but Stewart's lengthy appearance on The O'Reilly Factor marked a turning point in their interaction, with the discussion focusing heavily on Stewart's criticism of Fox News. The New York Times described Stewart as having "delivered one of the most sustained criticisms of Fox News ever heard on Fox News."110 Stewart claimed that the network had become a "cyclonic perpetual emotion machine" that had "taken reasonable concerns about [President Obama] and [the] economy and turned [them] into a full-fledged panic about the next coming of Chairman Mao."111 He further insinuated that Fox News had lost its credibility as a news organization. Like some of his previous engagements in media criticism, Stewart once again drew significant attention, both positive and negative, for his criticisms of Fox News.
Additionally, in 2005, The Daily Show led to a spin-off show on Comedy Central, The Colbert Report, with host and former Daily Show correspondent Stephen Colbert. The two shows regularly have interaction between the two hosts, and Colbert, taking on a conservative television pundit persona, acts as a mock counterweight to Stewart. On October 30, 2010, Stewart and Colbert hosted the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The rally drew hundreds of thousands and was an overall light event, interspersed with serious moments intended to bring attention to and ultimately reduce the extreme rhetoric that permeated the political process and media, and to promote a more moderate voice and a sense of reason. The rally attracted massive media attention leading up to and following the rally. And just as The Daily Show episodes are available online, so too is the rally, where millions have viewed the videos.
The Daily Show has raised serious concerns about the media and political process, such as questioning the role of the 24-hour cable news networks and financial news networks to questioning how information is portrayed and disseminated across the airwaves. With the Crossfire and Cramer interviews, Stewart elevated these concerns and debates from The Daily Show audience to a national audience. Further exemplified by the 9/11 first responders health care saga, Stewart and The Daily Show team have experimented with issue advocacy, both through satire and sincere passion. It is unclear whether that type of advocacy was an anomaly or whether it will become a recurring theme. However, it is quite clear that The Daily Show was remarkably effective in its handling of the issue, bringing it to the forefront of the national debate and influencing the result.
Thus, The Daily Show is a check on the democratic process, with regard to both the media and the political process itself. Moreover, while it is a check that is by no means required, it is one that most certainly has become influential and important to a healthy, functioning democracy. To the dismay of media critics and scholars, The Daily Show does not fit neatly into a specific classification of programming. However, it is clear what The Daily Show is not. It is not, for the most part, a fake news show. It is not just a comedy show. Yet, it is not a news show. It is a satirical commentary show that seeks to foster more reasoned discourse in an effort to create a more accountable democratic process. In essence, The Daily Show is not the lens through which an issue or the political process should be viewed, but it is a valuable perspective that should be considered. So take The Daily Show with Jon Stewart with a grain of salt – but also take it seriously.
