← Alberta is Not for Sale
What Alberta's School Re-entry Plan Teaches Us About Trust →
A "Marathon Session"
Posted on August 2, 2020 by susanonthesoapbox
The Alberta Legislature is adjourned for a month.
For this we are truly grateful because no matter how Jason Kenney tries to dress up his performance—he says he's well on his way to delivering on almost 70% of his campaign promises—he has not delivered on the promise of "jobs, economy, pipelines."
And no, making a risky $1.5 billion equity investment and providing a $6 billion loan guarantee on the American segment of the KXL pipeline does not count.
Promises, promises, promises
Kenney's campaign promises went up in smoke because he missed the memo, the one that said major oil companies want to own only the cheapest, cleanest reserves.
Case in point.
Last week Total, a global energy company, announced it was taking a $9.3 billion asset impairment charge on its Canadian oilsands assets because (1) the oilsands are high cost investments in a low price environment and (2) they meet the definition of "stranded" assets under Total's commitment to become a net-zero emissions company by 2050 or sooner.
Total's announcement comes on the heels of similar announcements by BP and Royal Dutch Shell which wrote down $17.5B and $22B respectively.*
It dovetails with the long string of announcements by investment banks like Deutsche Bank which pledged to align their credit and investment portfolios with the goals of the Paris Agreement in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Net-zero emissions by 2050. Sense a pattern here?
Hypocritical?
Rather than reverse its plan to deregulate the energy sector as much as possible under the guise of cutting red tape (and instead introduce legislation that aligns with the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050) the Kenney government reverted to form: it had a temper tantrum.
Kenney's energy minister, Sonya Savage, blasted Total's "highly-hypocritical decision," saying Total had dismissed "the leadership of Canadian producers who are doing their part with active strategies that have reduced emissions."
If Canada's producers are doing their part with "active strategies that have reduced emissions" then why are they complaining that the federal government's aid program (LEEFE) is too restrictive because it includes a requirement to report on climate change and what the company is doing to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. If Savage is right, the LEEFE requirements should be a slam dunk, so what gives?
Kenney doubled down the attack on any institution critical of the oilsands by demanding that Deutsche Bank "share with us the factual basis upon which these decisions were made."
Given that Deutsche Bank is an international investment bank that holds $2.5 trillion in assets, it's highly unlikely its CEO knows who Kenney is, let alone is quaking in his boots waiting for Kenney's call. But go for it, Jason.
Promises made, not delivered
Kenney is patting himself on the back for wrapping up "a marathon session that saw 34 bills passed to make life better, diversify our economy and get Albertans back to work."
He itemized some of the bills he deemed noteworthy including Bill 32 which "restored balance" in the workplace by stripping employees of many of their workplace rights.
He failed to mention that his government's behavior undermined the democratic process or that his government's policies pitched the government against doctors, teachers, parents, seniors and other vulnerable groups, municipalities, universities, rural Albertans, urban Albertans, the LBGTQ+ community, nature lovers, environmentalists and just about everyone else.
Which leads one to wonder whether Kenney's pugilistic stance is façade to paper over his government's failure to deliver on his campaign promise of jobs, a booming economy and pipelines.
Then again, it may be just a reflection of the man.

I doubt whether Kenney is capable of reflection, or even has a reflection.

susanonthesoapbox says:
Kehrwren: that was a nice play on words. While I can't comment on whether Kenney sees his reflection, his ability to reflect certainly leaves a lot to be desired.
Lorraine Stephenson says:
Susan, I know that you're a lawyer….is there a legal way that we could overthrow this corrupt dictatorship?
Lorraine Stephenson That's a good question. Recently, another UCP member got a fine of around $20,000 for election related infractions. Hopefully, the UCP empire will collapse like a house of cards. Here's to hope!
Lorraine, this government, like the Trump government, was democratically elected, so our only recourse is to throw them out in 2023. Interestingly the odds of us being able to do so improve if the Wexit party gains more supporters. I just read a letter by Rob Anderson (a former Wildrose MLA) attacking Kenney for saying he's a federalist with no use for Wexiteers. Anderson said it a "weak kneed, blind, wrap-yourself-in-the-flag response" and warned that unless Kenney gets his act together (ie supports separation as the last resort if Alberta doesn't get what it wants), then the Wexiteers and the UCP will split the vote in 2023 and the NDP will win.
Until then we must continue to call out all the bone-headed things Kenney is doing and if he ever puts his recall legislation in place, mobilize and vote out as many UCP MLAs that we can.
Susan: Thanks for another great blog. It is mindboggling how there are still people in Alberta who support the UCP. The UCP is outpacing Ralph Klein for being dishonest, acting like a bully and a dictator, doing very costly debacles, treating the vulnerable, the seniors, our medical professionals, our students and teachers in Alberta with contempt, selling out Alberta to private interests, increasing insurance and utility costs, neglecting essential services, and disregarding environmental protection. It would be nice to see the UCP gone. It's not getting better. I hope you and your family have a happy and safe vacation.
Dwayne, I agree with you that the UCP under Kenney is far more harmful than the PCs under Klein ever were. Who'd think we'd say that about Klein, the man who tried to sneak in The Third Way to privatize healthcare, blew up the General Hospital, sold off the Holy Cross and other hospitals for a song, etc. But in one short year Kenney's government did more damage to its relationship with the doctors than any previous government. And that's just the healthcare file. A review of the policies relating to energy, environment, education, seniors, etc would yield the same results. Makes you wonder how his supporters can continue to say he's the right choice for Alberta.
jerrymacgp says:
It's funny … KenneyCons are suppose to be all about "small government" & reducing "red tape" …. and yet, they pass reams of new legislation & impose onerous new regulations on Alberta workers & their unions. Of course, much of the legislation passed is not only about undoing previous reforms by the previous NDP government, but in fact rolling back worker rights even further than during the darkest days of the Klein era, and choking off freedoms most of us take for granted.
We have seen ideological conservatism before, and we have seen pragmatic conservatism; we have also seen pragmatic progressivism under Rachel Notley, whose government was far from ideological on the left. But in the 35 years since I moved to Alberta from Nova Scotia, I can't recall any previous government that was as ideologically hard right as this one. They are no longer merely conservatives; they're starting to border on fascist.
I hope you & yours have a safe, healthy & relaxing vacation :-).
Mike in Edmonton says:
I find it strange that the people who most loudly proclaim that Business can do nothing wrong, and Government can do nothing right–promptly prove themselves correct when they form a government….
Well said Mike: part of the problem in Kenney's case is he's never worked in business and hasn't a clue how businesses are run. For example, business executives are subject to securities laws that prevent them from lying and misleading the public. Politicians are not.
Jerrymacgp: you make an excellent point. I believe what Kenney really wants is "small government" and less "red tape" for business (large and small) which translates into fewer protections for workers and unions, lax environmental rules, and more privatization across the board.
What drives me wild is how he cherry picks examples from progressive jurisdictions to support his decisions. For example he touted Denmark's covid return to school plan without acknowledging Denmark's class sizes are significantly smaller than ours and they're spending hard cash to make schools safer by installing extra sinks, converting taps to automatic sensory ones, reallocated toilets so each class has their own bathroom and hiring more cleaners to sanitize schools. This is a far cry from Kenney saying he's allocating $120M to covid-preparedness (this is just returning part of the $128M he took away to "fight" the covid effort a few months ago), oh and let's not forget that part of his covid-preparedness plan is telling teachers to "tidy up" the classroom.
Bota28 says:
What a self serving little minion…. he cares less about the average Albertan this is all about him and his corporate buddies and a race to the bottom
Bota28 you got that exactly right – it is him and corporate power
This is what it is all about and will destroy not just our water and the mountain slopes but more importantly our reputation. this is how he intends to attract businesses. His energy minister calls the companies that are leaving. hypocrites. That is how she attracts business to Alberta. Calling them names. As far as regular people, we are terrorists if we disagree with her and subject to the War room garbage.

Thank God for our democracy !!!! It is ridiculous – who agrees with this other than his UCP gang of idiots?
Carlos: Alberta has now officially reached the have not status once again. The Alberta PCs, beginning with Don Getty, assisted in this, because they kept on losing and wasting money on epic mistakes and failures, and didn't plan for the future times, like when oil prices would sink. The UCP haven't been any different. The UCP keeps on wasting and losing epic amounts of money on major mistakes, and it's not helping Alberta one iota. Yet another UCP member was given a fine of nearly $20,000 for election related infractions. It's basically silence from most of the media on this, because they are hyper fixated on Justin Trudeau, Bill Morneau and the We incident. The CPC also supported Craig and Mark Keilberger. The UCP has done far more costlier mistakes, than the We incident, and again, the media is pretty much silent on this. What will it take for the media to see that the UCP aren't benefitting the people of Alberta? Is democracy really existing in Alberta? Hard to see that, when the UCP got into power by dubious means.
Carlos, I too wondered about that: Why does Kenney think he'll attract business investment by calling corporations names? Total developed a long term business strategy that includes a response to climate change. It's free to decide where to invest or not invest.
In a similar vein Kenney said any company that doesn't pull up stakes and move its head office to Alberta to take advantage of our low corporate tax rate is irresponsible.
Kenney is a sad little politician governing a struggling province with an outdated ideology. He has no right to call these corporations, their executives, their boards of directors and their shareholders names. When he does so, he proves to them he's foolish and immature.
Bota28: I think you've put your finger on the real problem. Some people enter politics to serve the greater good (we may disagree with what the greater good is but at least it's a noble purpose). Other people become career politicians because it's the ultimate source of power. I'll leave it at that.
Garrell Clark says:
Alberta will be destroyed by this government unless the people rise up.
Garrell, many of them are finally making their voices heard but it looks like we'll have to do this over and over again to make the government take a second look at each and every one of their failed policies.
It's more likely however that the steady stream of people and businesses heading elsewhere will finally convince those who remain that the UCP are not fit to govern.
Never were, never will be.
Susan in Palliser says:
Sadly I agree with previous mind 'boggling' and 'ideologically hard right' comments.
Soapbox column and the intelligent comments help to offer some consolation about the policies, bills and rigid stance of the MlA's of this UPC lead government. My concern, that grows and grows, is that these blogs reflect in depth analysis for those of us who share the same perspectives. Given a first – past- the post voting system and what seems to be a strongly entrenched world view that supports the perspectives (propaganda?) of the UPC, is there the possibility that a 'progressive pragmatic' government under anyone will be elected in Alberta in the near future.?
I despair to see hard won rights cast aside in a marathon session while 'boasting' about the provincial legislature sitting on behalf of all Albertans ( while Parliament did not.)
Seeking solutions! Stay well!
Well Susan, I agree about the high quality and thoughtful content of both our hostess Ms. Soapbox and her regular readers (of course, we're all preaching to our own choir, but we won't mention that).
Re action: rabble.ca published this interview with Guy Smith, president of the Alberta Union of Public Employees:
https://rabble.ca/news/2020/07/aupe-preparing-members-strike-action-wake-albertas-bill-32
I ought to be on the picket lines. I've been a provincial employee for 34 years. Ralph Klein wasn't nearly as bad as Jason Kenney. But honestly, I don't think I've got the guts. But after 27 August, I probably won't have a job, either. Laid off (unlikely, they'd have to pay me to leave) or quit because I will NOT take a pay cut.
Mike in Edmonton, thanks for the link to the interview with Guy Smith. He made the point that two of the most dangerous pieces of legislation passed by the UCP government are Bill 1 (Critical Infrastructure Defense Act) and Bill 32 (Restoring Balance in the Workplace Act). Bill 1 because it attacks our constitutional right to protest (as set out by the rights of assembly and free speech) and Bill 32 because it undermines unions.
It boggles my mind that UCP supporters are fine with this given that protest by oppressed minorities and the pressure brought to bear by organized labour made life better (not worse) for everyone.
It seems to me that many people don't know their history. A quick review of the vicious attacks on striking workers by Henry Frick and Andrew Carnegie is in order.
PS I hope things work out for you personally. It sounds very stressful.
Susan in Palliser: I share your concerns. Here we "preach to the choir" but hopefully give the "choir" a few more tools to use in debates with those who don't share our views.
I continue to hold out hope that the UCP will make such a botch of it that Albertans will flock to the NDP in 2023. If I'm wrong and the UCP is re-elected I for one will give serious consideration to moving to a saner province.
Bill Malcolm says:
The question at the heart of all this for many people is whether kenney is out to merely glorify himself in his own mind, or whether he believes so strongly in free enterprise that he believes economic miracles will occur if business is allowed to run unfettered, thus providing jobs for all. It is possibly a childish belief of his that the second scenario will lead to the first.
However, following links from his Wikipedia entry would lead one to believe he is above all a religious ideologue who does not believe in free speech. He is a driven top-down man.
His schooling was entirely at snooty preparatory outfits rather equivalent in outlook to the English "public" schools like Eton where jolly japers like Boris the Bozo are educated to become the movers and shakers of higher government bureaucracy in the old Empire colonial tradition. Athletic sport performance is stressed. The love of participating in team sport seems to have been replaced in kenney's case by an appreciation of food.
If, when you attend a US Jesuit college after graduating from Notre Dame prep school in the middle -of-nowhere Saskatchewan, you choose to do so in the US, and then spend your time handing out leaflets about the evils of abortion, observers are entitled to speculate how such an outlook was engendered in the young man. Nominally enrolled as a Philosophy major, typical liberal arts hold no interest for him, nor apparently does deep friendship with persons of either main genders. kenney made opponents of even the Jesuits running his college, and it is worth quoting part of the Wiki entry:
"He argued against Jesuit professors, including Rev. John Clarke, who declared free speech essential to a university. Allowing pro-choice activists on campus, Kenney argued in the CNN interview, was "destroying the mission and the purpose of this university". In the student newspaper, he suggested that if the school gave a platform to pro-choice groups in the name of free speech, it would have no basis to refuse a similar platform to pedophiles or to the Church of Satan.
The archbishop rejected the petition that summer, and Kenney never returned to finish his undergraduate philosophy degree. He left university without graduating .."
No doubt in a giant snit. Turned down philosophically even by the powers that be in the Catholic church, one can only speculate as to the kind of ideas that must permeate his mind compared to those of your average Western citizen. Perhaps the notion of putting down "heretics" on trumped-up charges by the Inquisitions in the Middle Ages, or like the drowning of witches in Salem, Massachusetts, appeals to him. It is a logical position for a critic to ponder, given his behaviour.
Now we also know why as Immigration minister, he refused to allow the British thinker and former MP George Galloway to even enter the country to give a lecture! Galloway must be godless and a satan equivalent, whose ideas would corrupt tiny Canadian minds. kenney managed to be more of a religious demagogue than even the Jesuits of San Francisco could tolerate, and he them in return.
Completely out of touch with modern society, apparently ignorant of modern social thought, eyes firmly closed against any thought that might ruin his purity of mind, fingers firmly stuck in his ears, the monastic kenney has arranged himself as the premier of Alberta. I suggest it is impossible to contemplate his legislative program without considering his background and actions. The outwardly humourless kenney does not like people, and must believe the only way forward is to indoctrinate his flock with his own peculiar outlook, keeping them from having independent thought until they finally see the Light. What other possible explanation is there? His low brow snarling hangers-on as cabinet ministers are highly unlikely to be as single-minded as he is, nor as determined and willing to embrace any subterfuge and division to get to the final solution he has decided is the ideal society. So, any thoughts of social fairness, compromise, environmental regard, in fact any western societal thoughts and freedoms gained since about 1800 AD are abhorrent to his very psyche.
Blessed with the gift of the gab to persuade others by cynically exploiting their beliefs, a not bad gift at emotive public acting, a minor working knowledge of basic naked capitalism, the need to have a strong economic base from which to surge forth and influence others to return to a simpler life where the lords tell the serfs how they must obey to be good simple folk, no wonder he's outraged when other nominal capitalists prove to be at least as enlightened as the Jesuits of his failed college career. Those oil and insurance companies rejecting his tarsand resource have metaphorically stabbed him in the back. So he will now double down on his ideas, rejecting any minor diversions like coping with Covid-19 in schools, or pesky doctors not getting down to working perpetual overtime for less recompense, all for the long term goal of presumably glorifying his idea of the Christian God versus the evil forces arrayed against him.
Either that, or he's nuts and a mere sociopath.
No matter which, the relentless anti-modern kennification of Alberta will continue. Though he be beset by fire, flood, famine or pestilence and enemies on all sides while wresting bounty from the good Earth, yet shall God or the Canadian government provide. And marching behind him will be the army of foul-mouthed rednecks who have swallowed the right wing nonsense if not the religiosity to become the enforcers of the new order, the petty officials only too keen to mind other people's business for them and the cause.
CallmeHal says:
We're only missing famine and fire so far. Kenney can induce famine with his regressive labour laws. As for fire, it's figurative: Gehenna. Is there any better way to describe the UCP's decision to send children back to school without funding for health and safety in a pandemic? Into the "fire" of the pandemic they go. As with the ancients, as with Alberta.
Bill well said. Judging by the intensity he has bullied everyone around I would say he is an evangelical sociopath living in the 12th century.
what is more disturbing to me is that despite a strong display of tyranny he continues to impress some conservatives not just in Alberta but in Canada. That is outright dangerous. The Conservative Party of Canada could easily cement this Harperist /Kenneyst brand of extreme right wing and Canada could easily move from a pseudo democracy to an entrenched one ideology system.
Brent McFadyen says:
Remember this the election funding has changed to allow support of candidates in municipal elections and most likely school trustees , this means our town and city councils and school boards will have ultra right wing candidates funded by UCP supporters. This is the play book from the Republican Party in the US to move forward their right wing agenda. Once they have control there it will be near impossible to dislodge them from power at any level.
Absolutely right – and the people we are electing have the same mentality as the premier
7 billion investment for a pipeline that may never be built and zero to reopen schools safely – the typical dropout investment schema.
UCP – United Cro-Magnon People
Carlos, I think it's very telling that Kenney has surrounded himself with ministers who are even less capable than he is. I would be surprised if any of them challenges him on any issue, even when their constituents are beating down the doors in disgust. This will ultimately be his downfall. He is responsible for all the idiotic policies coming out of the Legislature. He can't fob the blame off on anyone else. This is why I think he's stupider than Trump who figured out early on that someone else has to be the patsy. Kenney hasn't given himself that latitude because as he's repeatedly told us, he "holds the pen." If he holds the pen then he takes the blame when it all goes sideways.
The Former Manning Institute/Centre has already done this for more than a decade across the country. They ran candidates for Calgary's public school trustee positions a couple of elections ago.
Beware of your choice for Calgary's city council. There is a UCP slate, but I doubt they'll openly declare this. Here's a hint: do they mention "Manning" in their resumes? Also, the new name is "The Strong and Free Network". Jargon is another clue. And if they're allied with someone on council who has known UCP ties, it's probably not a coincidence.
Good comments Brent and CallmeHal: Our only recourse will be to educate as many people as we can about who these UCP backed candidates are and why they're not the right choice. They show up with their magical thinking (cut, cut, cut and everything will be fine) but every business CEO I've worked for has said, you can't cut your way to prosperity, you need a good business model that generates a sustainable revenue stream. Cuts are not a long term solution.
Bill, your characterization of Kenney as someone who's obsessed with the battle between good and evil (which him being a champion for all that is good) rings true.
In his speech in 2000 to St Joseph's Community Catholic Home School Conference he says Pope John Paul II's Evangelium Vitae stuck him "like lightening" (an allusion to St Paul on the road to Damascus) and led him to the "political vocation" where he could fight the "culture of death" with the "gospel of life". It's a chilling speech that tells us everything we need to know about what drives this man.
Here's the link to the Evangelium Vitae
http://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_25031995_evangelium-vitae.html#-1O
Here's the link to my blog about the speech https://susanonthesoapbox.com/2019/03/24/jason-kenney-and-the-pope/
From "Babylon by the Sea" to "Babylon Health by Telus". Was he foreshadowing something?
And today we learned that Alberta has signed on to use nuclear energy to extract oilsands. Did you know that Alberta had lots of uranium waiting to be mined up in the Athabasca region? Uranium City, Alberta has a nice ring to it. It's so clean and diversified.
It is worth remembering that Jesuits educated Pierre Trudeau during his formative years, but the Jesuit college and Jason Kenney were not a good mix. Oil and water, you might say.
So Lord Jason is bragging about all the bad legislation he's passed. When's he gonna start bragging about being the most-sued premier in–well–ever?
Judy J. Johnson says:
Thanks Susan for giving us the straight goods. The most rudimentary comparative analysis between Kenney and Trump reveals that Jason has plagiarized a chapter of Donny's guide book on authoritarianism, perhaps even fascism. Let's hope he doesn't plagiarize Trump's entire book when Albertans wake up to his delusions–unshakeable false beliefs that are damaging more than Alberta's democracy. Call me Pollyanna, but I think enough people are being stung by his mean-spirited legislation that they'll turf the Tories next election. Love your blogs!
Thanks Judy, I too am hopeful that at the end of the day the UCP will be turfed. I can't believe that come the next election a majority of Albertans will vote in favour of the UCP's autocratic, cruel, and selfish government. If they do, it will demonstrate that Albertans are not who they say they are.
Sadly a lot of people will suffer along the way. Today I was reading about the UCP "consulting" with god knows who about privatizing care homes for severely disabled children. Given the botch the private sector did of protecting our seniors, why would anyone think the private sector is equipped to care for kids.
But hey, if it saves a few bucks, and makes the care home owners rich, well it's got to be good, right…?
Yes, this is entirely a reflection of the man. I am sure the term ambitious has been used to describe Kenney on more than one occasion, so I think it would be fair to say his government also has an ambitious agenda. However, I think that is the most positive thing that can be said here. Ambition can be positive, but it can also be negative when excessive self interest and ignoring the welfare of other dominates and I think this is where Kenney and the UCP unfortunately are headed.
I think the UCP is very eager and ambitious to implement their reactionary agenda. I suppose they hope and perhaps even believe it will result jobs, improved quality of life (for their supporters only?) and somehow by bluster, brute force and sheer will they will get pipelines built. I am not sure if this really stands up to much scrutiny, but this is more a government of certainty of faith and ideological fervor, so I don't think they focus much on scrutiny of their plans, which is why some of it has come out half baked like the war room. Unfortunately for them, the world has changed a lot in recent years, both within Alberta and perhaps more noticeably outside of Alberta.
More pipelines are not an easy sell these days in most places outside of Alberta and we have absolutely no control over US politics, so the $7 billion plus bet on Keystone seems foolhardy. Even if they can race to complete it before the upcoming US election, the Presidential permit is for operating and it is within the President's powers to keep even a pipeline that is largely or completely built from operating. Even within Alberta, I do not sense a great deal of enthusiasm to return to the mid 90's era of Klein cuts. I think opinion in the province is much more divided than it was then and the UCP seems to get too carried away in targeting those that challenge them, like doctors for instance. I am not sure that overt bullying and throwing its weight around is going to gain them any support, it will probably go the other way.
In any event the UCP has defined itself and set its course. It will have to spend the next few years defending its aggressive or ambitious approach. That will become much more difficult if the government can not deliver soon on those things that people really care about, including jobs and quality of life.
Dave you've hit on an important point. I think you're correct when you describe the UCP as "a government of certainty of faith and ideological fervor" when what we need now more than ever is a government of intellectual curiosity, willing to work with experts and stakeholders to explore and test new ideas to develop a plan for the 21st century.
No wonder the UCP come out of the chute screaming and yelling when things go wrong. They haven't a clue why they went off the deep end, let alone how they're going to get back to solid ground. They double down because they're too fragile to admit their mistakes and ask for help.
It's a recipe for disaster.
I sense more than ever in this blog that like myself, people are not just frustrated with what is going on but angry. This is an extraordinary time in our province's history and I cannot imagine 3 more years of this full display of incompetence and lunacy. It feels that somehow we are giving up on our rights as citizens to not allow the total destruction of common sense and respect for people in general. We need to think of something I am sure we can do along with others to at least make Jason Kenney aware that this is going to stop or have grave consequences.
Where is the RCMP investigation on Jason Kenney? I ask again as I am hopeful someone here knows more than I do about the system.
The question is, if there is no more investigation or no results where is the rule of law that we are so proud of?
Where is the minister of Justice? where is the lawyers association?
To finish up the week in a positive way here is what was the UCP education ultimate thought
"We want every young person who graduates through Alberta schools, we want them to be the kind of person you'd want to be selling you a used car. Because you can trust them."
We do not have to guess where we are heading in this province. It is EXTREME INCOMPETENCE
and like Trump down south, they think they are doing a great job.
WOW is all I can say – I am sending this brilliant sentence to every MLA to remind them of what it means serious UCP education mentality.
Please tell me that I am dreaming
Used car salesman stereotype in action today. The education minister and CMOH know that students will get sick, and some will die, yet schools will reopen without physical distancing or class size reduction anyways:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-covid-pandemic-testing-capacity-asymptomatic-1.5677165
"Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said that ahead of September the province is looking at improving testing availability and turnaround in the coming months.
"According to a Request for Expressions of Interest and Quotation (RFEOIQ) issued on Wednesday, AHS expects daily demand to rise to 22,000 tests — in part, due to the return to school plans."
When you have to FOIP the heck out of what they're saying to get at the truth, they're not being truthful. They are used car salesmen. No one should trust them. They are liars, and their negligence will cause deaths. I think Gap would fire them, too (as we all know it stopped being called "The Gap" some time ago).

FCC Reconsiders 'TxTStopper' Jammer
By Doug Lung
Imagine a jamming device that can be professionally installed in your car to block all cell phone and PCS phone calls, texting and data connections (e-mail, for example) when the car is moving. While such a device is clearly illegal under Sections 302(b) and 333 of the Communications Act of1934 as amended, it displays an FCC certification number and was still available for sale at www.TxTStopper.com as this was being written early Thursday morning.
That could change soon as the FCC released an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Opportunity for Hearing Wednesday. In the Order it describes how Shenzhen Tangreat Technology Co. was able to get the FCC certification by presenting the device as a Class B computer peripheral. Not surprisingly, the product being marketed on the Web doesn't match the one in the certification.
The Order directs Shenzhen Tangreat Technology to show cause "why the equipment authorization it holds under FCC ID No. XRLTG-VIPJAMM should not be revoked and why a Forfeiture Order in an amount not to exceed $112,500 should not be issued against Shenzhen for willfully and/or repeatedly violating sections 302(b) and 333 of the Act and sections 2.803, 2.907(b), 2.931, 2.932, 2.936 and 2.946 of the Rules."
One interesting point is that the test report described the equipment being tested as an "RF Jammer" and that description was erroneously reproduced in the "Notes" section of the equipment certification.
The FCC asked Shenzhen Tangreat to submit a sample of the certified device for testing, but so far the company has not responded to letters from OET, or submitted the requested sample.
Agents from the FCC Bureau's Atlanta Field Office observed a TxTStopper that had been installed in a vehicle owned by Just Driver Training in Canton, Ga.

Carl Emanuel Brunner, född den 25 januari 1796 i Bern, död där den 22 mars 1867, var en schweizisk kemist.

Brunner var först apotekare i Bern och sedan professor i kemi och farmaci där. Han är främst bekant genom sina eudiometriska försök, det vill säga undersökningar av beståndsdelarnas mängd i en gasblandning. Hans metod att genom vägning bestämma vattengasens mängd i luften – varvid denna gas upptages av pimpstensstycken, indränkta med svavelsyra – lämnar i avseende på noggrannhet intet övrigt att önska och har därför begagnats vid undersökning och gradering av hygrometrar, konstruerade efter andra grunder.

'I Love the '90s' concert at Tuscaloosa Amphitheater unites past stars
By Mark Hughes Cobb Staff Writer
May 18, 2016 at 10:00 PM May 18, 2016 at 10:52 PM
Whoever names package tours struggles to put a name on disparate sounds. What, after all, do Salt-n-Pepa with Spinderella, Vanilla Ice, Color Me Badd, All 4 One, Coolio and Young MC have in common, other than that much of their greatest success came in the '90s?
Hence an "I Love the '90s" tour, featuring the above groups playing Friday at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.
Packaged tours -- the placing a group of musicians together under one banner to trim touring expenses and offer value for the ticket money -- are not new. Buddy Holly was headlining the Winter Dance Party, featuring co-victims The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens, along with Dion Di Mucci and The Belmonts, Waylon Jennings and others, when that ill-fated plane went down in a snowy Iowa field Feb. 3, 1959. Holly, at 22, and Valens, just 17, were just peaking in their young careers. Dion's biggest hits were yet to come.
Yet today, the packages often seem nostalgia-focused, with bundles of bands under an umbrella that can't shade the fact that their hits didn't keep coming, for the most part, in the 21st century.
Salt-N-Pepa, one of the biggest-selling female rap groups of all time, last played the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater in 2013, on what was called the Old Skool Summer Fest. Derived from "old school," in literary convention since the 19th century, and possibly a play on "old's cool," the "skool" term refers specifically to veteran or venerable musicians. But for some, the sound fell heavily on "old," so loving the '90s spins a more positive vibe.
As one of the first all-women rap groups, Salt-n-Pepa formed around Cheryl "Salt" James, Sandra "Pepa" Denton and Deidra "DJ Spinderella" Roper, with debut disc "Hot, Cool & Vicious" in 1986. That launched hits including "My Mic Sound Nice," "Tramp," "Chick on the Side," and what would become their first platinum smash, U.S. and international, the remake of "Push It" from the "Tramp" B-side. Later pressings of that disc worked in the hit remix. The 1988 "A Salt with a Deadly Pepa" carved out hits from "Shake Your Thang," "Get Up Everybody (Get Up)" and a cover of the classic "Twist and Shout."
But it was the '90s that gave the group its biggest years, including the disc "Blacks' Magic" with hits such as "Expression," "Independent," "I Don't Know" (featuring Kid N Play), "Do You Want Me" and "You Showed Me."
"Let's Talk About Sex", which was later re-recorded as "Let's Talk About AIDS," became an across-all-charts No. 1 hit. In 1993, "Very Necessary" held two of the group's biggest and most iconic hits, "Shoop", and "Whatta Man", the later with En Vogue, their fellow all-woman singing group. The album went multi-platinum around the world, the first female rap act to do so. It's to present still the best-selling album by a female rap group. In another first, their song "None of Your Business," won the 1995 Grammy for Best Rap Performance, making the group the first all-woman rap Grammy winners.
Best-of discs, remixes, and hits collections came out in '90, '91, '92, '99, 2008 and, in 2011, the band's last disc to date, "Icon". With the start of new families, projects in TV and film, and some legal squabbles, Salt-n-Pepa broke up in 2002. A few years later, VH-1's Hip Hop Honors shows brought the trio back together. Salt-n-Pepa restarted in 2007, and by 2011, were headlining a tour called "Salt-n-Pepa's Legends of Hip Hop Tour."
Rob Van Winkle, under his stage name Vanilla Ice, is listed as co-headlining the '90s tour, proving that you only need one hit to create a career. Mimicking the bass line from Queen and David Bowie's hit "Under Pressure", he crafted the first hip-hop single to hit No. 1 on Billboard charts, with 1990's "Ice Ice Baby." His debut album "To the Extreme" became the fastest-selling hip-hop album of all time. Of his half-dozen other albums, the 1991 "Extremely Live" was the only other one to break into Top 40. Though they couldn't match the success of "Ice Ice Baby," other charting hits including "Play That Funky Music," "I Love You, "Cool as Ice (Everybody Get Loose)" with Naomi Campbell, "Rollin' in my 5.0" and "Satisfaction." "Ice Ice Baby" won People's Choice and Factual Entertainment awards, and Winkle won both Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop New Artist at the American Music Awards. He also received a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst New Star for his acting in the 1991 movie "Cool as Ice."
R&B group Color Me Badd has sold more than 12 million discs, with songs scattered through films and TV shows such as "New Jack City," "No Strings Attached" and "Glee". The group's debut disc, "C.M.B.," held its greatest hits, including No. 1s "I Wanna Sex You Up," "I Adore Mi Amor", and "All 4 Love." Their other hits include "Thinkin' Back," "Slow Motion," "Forever Love," "Time and Chance," "Choose" and "The Earth, The Sun, The Rain." Three of the four original singers, Mark Calderon, Kevin "K.T." Thornton and Bryan Abrams, will perform Friday.
R&B/pop vocal group All-4-One sold 22 million records, mostly around No. 1 smash single "I Swear," which charted at the top for 11 weeks, and won a Grammy in 1995 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Other hits include "I Can Love You Like That," "So Much in Love," "Beautiful as U," "I Will Be Right Here" and "Someday" from Disney's animated film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." All-4-One has all its original members -- Jamie Jones, Delious Kennedy, Alfred Nevarez and Tony Borowiak.
Rapper and producer Coolio, born Artis Leon Ivey Jr., is known for the No. 1 "Gangsta's Paradise," one of the biggest rap hits of all time, and a 1996 Grammy winner for Best Rap Solo Performance. Other hits include "Fantastic Voyage," "C U When U Get There," "Too Hot" and "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)." He's also known by many for the theme song from Nickelodeon series "Kenan & Kel," and numerous "reality TV" appearances.
Marvin Young, performing as Young MC, collaborated with Tone Loc on hits "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" before hitting the charts with his own "Bust a Move," 1990 Grammy winner for Best Rap Performance. Other hits include "Principal's Office," "That's the Way Love Goes," "Madame Buttafly" and "On & Poppin'."
As of Wednesday, tickets were still available, for $19.90, $55, $75, with $104 Gold Circle seats. Gates open at 6 p.m. for Friday's show, with music starting at 7.

Howard remembers everything, down to the smallest details of design. I had many questions about why certain design aspects were implemented among different Hydrostream models, and Howard answered them all in great detail. Just imagine how incredible that experience was; and he is also a heck of an awesome person.
It goes without saying that the boating experience was no less incredible. I knew the Power Tour would be an amazing event ahead of time, but I was surprised at how far it exceeded my already very high expectations. It was everything that makes a performance boating event so great.


Limited time offer – Receive the 14,000 word official sample of Gray Gold FREE!
It was 1943 in San Diego. Rationing was still new. Smuggling is something much older.
Millions of people sought their fortunes in the wartime American west. Nicolas Guyon is among them. When a routine security job goes haywire, Nick must build a team from scratch to take on a powerful industrial giant.
Luckily for him, there are scoundrels to spare on all sides of the booming black market world.
Gray Gold is historical fiction that walks through territory not well trod. It explores the dark side of a controlled economy. The "good guys", from housewives to major manufacturers, cheat on a regular basis to get their jobs done. The "bad guys" cheat bigger, and steal and kill when necessary.
The United States had bred an unprecedented hierarchy of organized crime figures during prohibition. That structure did not simply dissolve away in 1933. Ten years later the small-time hoods were just ten years older and not as small. Nick Guyon finds that many of them came out west with him.
Everyone in home front America was committed to the war effort. Everyone was also thinking about what would happen after the war, and some were gaming out a winning position for themselves.

This is for you if... you have an undergraduate degree and you would like to train to teach 3-7 or 5-11 year-olds as part of the School Direct scheme.
School Direct was introduced in 2012 and allows schools to directly recruit students onto teacher education courses run in collaboration with universities. To make sure you have a range of placement opportunities, schools work together in Teaching Alliances.
This course is made up of both campus-based sessions - which will give you a grounding in the principles of good teaching practice - and school-based placements giving you the chance to apply your knowledge and experience a wide range of classroom situations. These placements will be in contrasting schools to give you a broad range of experience - they could be in city, suburban or rural schools, in the independent or state sector.
The School Direct PGCE Primary course will prepare you to teach across the full range of the Primary Curriculum. We will introduce you to the wider context of teaching, including responding to diversity in school and the inclusion of Special Needs Education, as well as equipping you with classroom management and planning skills.
By the end of the course you will meet the required professional standards for Qualified Teachers Status (QTS), and will be awarded a University of Leicester PGCE. Our strong ethos of reflective practice will prepare you will for your future career in teaching.
The School Direct Primary PGCE is run in partnership with a range of School Direct partner schools. You can choose which School Direct Provider you would like to apply for and then submit your application through UCAS.
Each School Direct Provider will offer its own unique range of placement experiences and opportunities but will still share most, if not all, of the Primary PGCE taught strands with the University of Leicester Primary PGCE students, giving you a great opportunity to share experience and practice with other students.
If you have any queries regarding the School Direct courses, please the lead school directly and they will be happy to help. Please use the contact details provided on our School Direct pages.
Not sure which PGCE route is right for you? Have a look at our Routes into Teaching pages to find out more about PGCE, School Direct and SCITT routes, including the dates of regular events we hold.
GCSE grade C or above in English Language, Maths and Science.
A pass in the Professional Skills Tests in Literacy and Numeracy.
Although not essential, you may find it useful to have recent experience working with children and/or observing teaching in a school setting, ideally relating to the age range/subject you wish to teach. When writing your application you should try to reflect on your experience and tell us what you learnt.
Please consult our Education at Leicester website to find detailed explanations of our recruitment and selection processes and criteria.
Admission to the course is subject to a satisfactory medical report. The University will provide more information about this should you be offered a place.
All offers are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS disclosure. Education at Leicester will provide instructions regarding the DBS application process once you have accepted an offer of a place on the course.
The application process for a PGCE is different from other postgraduate courses so please see our information on how to apply.
You should also read this advice for applicants before you apply.
You must have a GCSE Grade C in English Language. Please see our entry requirements (left) for more information.
PGCE students can apply for loans from Student Finance England and may be entitled to a tax-free NCTL bursary.
Please note that International Students will not be eligible for bursaries offered by the Department for Education. For more information, please visit the Get into Teaching website.
Many School Direct students secure their first teaching post within one of their Alliance's schools. We will support you in applying for teaching posts by guiding and supporting you through the whole process including workshops run by head teachers and recruitment specialists. The workshop content includes writing letters of application; interview techniques; teaching sample lessons and one-to-one coaching and mock interviews. We know that this approach is highly successful every year and, and Ofsted noted, 'Former trainees from this provider are highly prized locally and demand often outstrips the number of NQT positions available'.
We foster your continued relationship with Education at Leicester once you become an NQT by supporting your career development in a number of ways, including running a successful NQT Conference each spring.
Our PhD opportunities are very popular with those wishing to pursue a particular research interest at doctoral level. We are committed to training excellent teachers during the PGCE and beyond, and we are proud that so many of our students return to Education at Leicester for further study once qualified.
"It made me think a lot about my ethos in the classroom. Humorous and insightful, put the year into perspective."
"Lots of ideas to put in place tomorrow!"
The Professional Strand of the PGCE course provides generic foundations for you as a future Primary teacher. It will support your development as a skilful practitioner by helping you to understand and engage with the complexities of teaching. You will cover a range of important elements including planning, teaching, learning, assessment and classroom management, according to the Teachers' Standards. The sessions are designed to help you develop pedagogical understanding through critical discussion and reflection on classroom action. You will also develop an understanding of the role of teachers and their wider professional responsibilities.
Whilst there is an emphasis on teaching Maths and English, PGCE Primary teaching sessions cover the full range of the Primary National Curriculum and the equivalent strands of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum Guidance. Sessions may focus on a single subject area or involve cross-curricular or thematic approaches currently adopted in many schools. Some curriculum work will take place through Focus Days in schools.
During the PGCE, you will be placed in three contrasting Partnership schools. We are proud to work with over 200 primary schools in the state and independent sectors, and in city, suburban and rural settings, as well as special schools.
Primary students (specialising in the 5-11 age range) are placed in a range of KS1 and KS2 classes, and Lower Primary students (specialising in the 3-7 age range) work in Key Stage One and Foundation Stage settings. School Direct students agree with their School Direct Lead School which of these routes they wish to take. In addition to the three block teaching placements you will also visit different schools as part of a series of 'focus days', studying specific subject and professional topics in an intensive school-based context.
The school-based time is a vitally important element of the course. You will have the opportunity to observe skilled class teachers working and to discuss the things that underpin day-to-day classroom activities, as well as work alongside experienced teacher-mentors who will support your learning about classroom practice.
This is a six-week placement, either individual or sometimes with two students working together in one class. You will focus on developing observation skills to support your understanding of teaching and learning and to put your learning into practice. During this Autumn Term placement you will work towards taking an increased responsibility for teaching the class.
This takes place in the Spring Term and lasts for six weeks. The amount of time spent teaching the class increases over the placement until you have responsibility for up to 80% of the timetable.
This is an eight-week placement in the Summer Term with students working towards taking responsibility for 80% of the teaching timetable. You will normally return to the school where you were based in the autumn term, but with a different class.
Throughout each of these placements you will be encouraged to participate fully in the life of the school and to take full advantage of the tasks and activities designed by your tutors to support your development.
Your placement schools will be decided by your personal tutor following discussions about your professional development needs. It is expected that through your three placements you will gain experience across the age range that you are training to teach.
98% of our students achieved Good or Outstanding teaching grades at the end of the 2015-16 course. 95% of our 2015-16 students had secured a teaching post by the end of the course.
We work with over 200 primary and secondary schools in city, suburban and rural settings, in both the State and independent sectors.
You'll have access to the very best, and most inspiring, practising teachers – participating in their seminars, observing them in the classroom, or being guided by them during your placements.
The majority of your taught sessions will be with students from the other routes into teaching, allowing you to benefit from their variety of experiences and knowledge. Some of your sessions will also be taught in age-phase groups (e.g. Lower Primary and Primary). There are also specialist study groups for all students.
Our course has been praised by external examiners and Ofsted for its focus on reflection, receiving an Outstanding grade in our latest inspection. You will be encouraged to evaluate your own teaching and share your learning with your peers.
Throughout your PGCE course we will work in partnership with your Lead School to ensure you have the support of a range of teachers and tutors as we are aware of the confidence this brings. We'll make sure you have the right support at the right time – whether that's at university or in school.
As well as gaining your Postgraduate Certificate of Education and QTS, you will also be able to take 60 credits which can be put towards a Masters qualification (you need 180 credits to complete a Masters).
You will complete two written assignments which make up the academic part of your assessment. The rest of your assessment will take place continuously throughout the course. There are no exams.
"The lecturers are incredibly supportive and allow you the freedom to research and explore your own interests from day one, making us stand out from the crowd as confident, active members of the research community."


Growth in Latin America has been slowing down since 2011. This lacklustre situation, caused by weak domestic fundamentals, has been exacerbated by cyclical factors experienced since the second half of 2014. In 2015 we have ob-served a further deterioration of this downwards trend, with regional GDP ex-pected to contract by 0.2%. It will be the first recession since 2009, when activi-ty shrunk by 1.4% due to the subprime crisis.
In this study, we will focus on the three Latin American countries of Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador. Argentina will hold presidential elections in October and is expected to breakeven in 2015. Colombia showed strong performance in 2014 but has been losing momentum due to the effects of lower oil prices. Ecuador's economy is also continuing to be heavily affected by the low level of oil prices.
The second part of the Panorama sets out the latest updates to our Latin America sector barometer. This section reviews the financial performance of companies in different industries, highlighting where risks have increased and where they remain stable. The third section presents an overview of sensitive industries in Argentina and Colombia.
Almost all major economies should decelerate in 2015.
The main negative contribution will come from countries of the Atlantic, Coface expects Brazil to contract to contract by 2.5% and Venezuela by 7% in 2015.
Chile and Peru are the only two main econo-mies, which should report a slight improve-ment this year, however considering a strong slowdown reported in 2014. In 2016 growth will come out the negative territory to a mea-ger 0.8% high. Generally external fundamen-tals will continue to weight negatively on Latin America. The relatively improvement in growth in 2016 should come from a lower recession expected for Brazil in 2016.
The deterioration in economic activity negatively impacted the region's currencies.
This movement was reinforced by the recent strengthening of the US dollar, which can be explained by the perception among inves-tors that the US economy will outperform other economies over the coming months, and by the expected tightening of US mone-tary policy.
Consequently, the five main free floating currencies in Latin America (the Brazilian Real, the Colombian, Chile and Mexican Pesos and the Peruvian Novo Soles) have depreciated sharply.
Most sectors in Latin America are now classified as high risk.
In Latin America, risks have generally increased in recent months, against the backdrop of lower commodity prices and their subsequent effects on activity. Most sectors are now classified as high risk.
The five main economies are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile. Together they represent 83 % of the region's GDP. Within the context of lower regional GDP growth, many sectors reported deterioration in their risk perception. This section of the Panorama examines the outlook for each segment.
This edition also focuses on Colombia's retail industry, which has been slowing due to weaker economic activity, and Argentina's agro-food sector, which has been negatively impacted by the government's strong interventionism.


Philip Selway (best known as the drummer for Radiohead) has recorded and will be releasing his own album. To celebrate this, he is giving away a track for free!
"Some Miracle" is the first track that Selway has released from his first solo record titled Familial and it is a somber one. Compared to Radiohead, the simple instrumentation and soft spoken voice of Philip makes for a very personal experience.
Familial will be released on Bella Union on August 30 in the UK and on August 31 in the US/Canada via Nonesuch.
You can check out some show dates and other news at Philip Selway's Website.
Listen to "Some Miracle" below.


According to the Federal Reserve, the U.S. economy averaged 170,000 new jobs per month from January through October.
The nation's GDP grew 3 percent year-over-year in both the second and third quarters. Third-quarter economic growth occurred despite the effects of destructive hurricanes in Texas and Florida.
And despite the improving labor market and overall economic growth, inflation has remained below 2 percent.
What does that mean? For the mortgage industry, it will likely soon lead to lenders charging higher rates to homebuyers and those looking to refinance.
The economic numbers, including an upward revision to third quarter U.S. Real GDP growth, were part of comments made by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to Congress last week.
"I expect that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, the economy will continue to expand and the job market will strengthen somewhat further, supporting faster growth in wages and incomes," Yellen stated.
Yellen's testimony and the revised GDP numbers led to "a surge in long-term interest rates," saidLen Kiefer, deputy chief economist for Freddie Mac. That could result in an uptick in mortgage rates in the coming weeks.
Prior to this year, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate only twice in a decade. So far in 2017, they've increased the rate twice — in March and October. And many anticipate another rate increase in December.
In fact, Freddie Mac stated in its most recent Primary Mortgage Market Survey that a Fed rate hike later this month is almost a 100 percent certainty.
Echoing those sentiments, nearly half of Bankrate's panelists in its weekly Mortgage Rate Trend Index believe mortgage rates will rise in the next week or so.
While movements in the federal funds rate do not directly impact mortgage rates, they can influence them. In fact, the Fed had delayed interest rate hikes until recently largely because of concern about the impact on the housing market.
Mortgage rates are largely determined by the price of mortgage-backed securities set by Wall Street. And those prices are influenced by the Fed's economic outlook. The more positive that outlook, the higher mortgage rates will typically rise. By raising its funds rate, the Fed is projecting stronger economic growth.
Many in the industry expected higher mortgage rates in 2017. However, the 30-year rate has held below 4 percent for 20 consecutive weeks.
According to the weekly Freddie Mac report, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 3.90 percent last week, while the average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage was 3.30 percent.
However, Freddie Mac noted that the average rate for a 5/1 Hybrid ARM, which is more sensitive to short-term rates than the 30-year fixed mortgage, increased 10 basis points to 3.32 percent in last week's survey.
"The spread between the 30-year fixed mortgage and 5/1 Hybrid ARM is just 58 basis points this week, the lowest spread since November of 2012," said Kiefer.


EDITOR'S NOTE: Dr. Atwood, who would normally be scheduled to post today, is on vacation. Consequently, we are publishing the following guest post by Samuel Homola, D.C., a retired chiropractor who limited his practice to science-based methods and spoke out against the irrational and abusive practices of his colleagues. He is the author of Inside Chiropractic and Bonesetting, Chiropractic, and Cultism and co-author with Stephen Barrett of the skeptical Chirobase website, a division of Quackwatch) .
In 1895, Daniel David Palmer, a magnetic healer, announced that "95 percent of diseases are caused by displaced vertebrae; the remainder by luxations of other joints." He opened the first chiropractic school in Davenport, Iowa—the Palmer Infirmary, which offered a three-week course of instruction.
In 1906, D.D. Palmer's son, Bartlett Joshua Palmer, a 1902 graduate of the Palmer Infirmary, took over his father's school. In 1924, claiming that "subluxation" of any vertebra would cause disease by compressing nerves in the intervertebral foramina, B.J. Palmer introduced the "Neurocalometer," a thermocouple device guaranteed to locate nerve-pinching vertebral subluxations. Chiropractors were told that if they did not use this "infallible" device to measure heat differentials on the skin over the spine, they could not competently locate and adjust a subluxation. But the Neurocalometer was not for sale. Chiropractors were forced to lease the instrument and then pay a monthly rent.
In the early 1930s, after nearly three decades of teaching that subluxations anywhere in the spine can cause disease, B.J. Palmer announced that he had found the one and only cause of disease: subluxation of the atlas. Palmer concluded that subluxation of a spinal vertebra below the axis was not possiblebecause vertebrae below that level were bound together by intervertebral discs and interlocking joints. Students at the Palmer School of Chiropractic were not permitted to adjust the spine below the axis until 1949 when full-spine techniques were once again included in the course of instruction.
B.J. Palmer's "hole-in-one" (HIO) technique for adjusting the atlas and the axis remained popular among certain factions of the chiropractic profession. According to the 2005 edition of Job Analysis of Chiropractic, published by the National Board of Chiropractic Examines, 25.7% of practicing chiropractors include the "Palmer upper cervical/HIO" technique in their adjustive procedures.
A supine leg-length check that reveals disparities in leg length when the head is turned left or right.
Use of thermography or infrared thermocouple devices to measure skin temperature over the cervical spine.
A postural analysis using the "NUCCA Anatometer" that requires standing on a platform apparatus that measures postural imbalance, pelvic distortion, head tilt, and unequal right and left leg weight bearing.
Three x-ray views of the atlas-axis area.
Use of a protractor to measure atlas alignment.
The patient is then placed in a side-posture position so that the heel of the hand (pisiform bone) or a machine stylus can be used to adjust the "misaligned" atlas.
When I was in chiropractic school back in the early 1950s, I learned from Best & Taylor's Physiological Basis of Medical Practice that compression of the carotid sinus at its bifurcation in the upper cervical area would cause a fall in blood pressure and heart rate by raising the pressure in the sinus, while pressure on the common carotid artery in the lower cervical area would raise arterial pressure and heart rate by reducing pressure within the carotid sinus. Such effects resulting from manual stimulation are, of course, temporary, and not a cure for essential hypertension or for high blood pressure caused by bad kidneys, diseased arteries, and other organic problems.
Whatever effect neck manipulation might have on blood pressure, the claim by chiropractic NUCCA "upper cervical specialists" that they can lower blood pressure by correcting minor misalignments of the atlas to relieve "brain stem ischaemia" and to normalize brainstem neural pathways is too implausible to be taken seriously. When the atlas is freely movable and is not locked by painful disease or injury, its resting place, which is determined by the anatomical structure of the articulating surfaces of the occiput, the atlas, and the axis, cannot be changed. NUCCA chiropractors may simply measure structural asymmetry to determine if the atlas is misaligned. Since there are no intervertebral discs and no interlocking joints in the articulation of the atlas with the occiput and the axis, the atlas will move when manipulated, as it does in everyday head movement, but the atlas always returns to its anatomically dictated resting place, as determined by ligamentous constraints and the contours of joint surfaces. Even when there is atlanto-occipital fixation or atlanto-axial fixation, there is no reason to believe that the brain stem would be affected if injury has not occurred and there is no anatomical deformity.
In my 43 years of practice as a chiropractor, I was never able to determine that manipulation of the spine ever permanently changed the position of the atlas or any other vertebra that is freely movable.
Obviously, it would be difficult or impossible for a dedicated non-blinded NUCCA practitioner to provide sham intervention to one group and real treatment to another group without transmitting his belief to the patient, possibly triggering a placebo effect in the treatment group. X-ray measurements performed by one person might be influenced by patient positioning and by the prejudice of the investigator. An attempt to replicate the findings of such a flawed pilot study with another study done in a chiropractic college using similar procedures would certainly raise questions. Short term treatment for fluctuating blood pressures in patients with Stage 1 hypertension (pressures less than 159/99 mm of Hg, with no known cause) would be difficult to evaluate. The conclusion that "restoration of Atlas alignment is associated with marked and sustained reductions in BP" after eight weeks of weekly upper neck manipulation begs for another explanation.
The minor atlas subluxations routinely found by NUCCA chiropractors have not been proven to be significant. I would be surprised if a legitimate properly controlled study offered proof that upper neck manipulation would permanently lower blood pressure that has an organic origin. The claim by NUCCA practitioners that a painless slightly misaligned atlas is a cause of high blood pressure does not have enough supporting evidence to warrant the risk of manipulating the necks of patients suffering from high blood pressure, risking injury to vertebrobasilar arteries.
Although the NUCCA blood pressure study did note that "The mechanism as to why this improvement in BP occurs is unknown and cannot be determined by this study," the study itself reads like a chiropractic promotional piece. For example, the study states that "What is clear is that misalignment of the Atlas vertebra can be determined by assessment of the alignment of the pelvic crests," adding that "…pain was not present in any of the patients randomized in this study." Such statements may be used by chiropractors to support treatment of a variety of human ailments, based on measurement of common but insignificant vertebral misalignment or on harmless structural deviations from normal.

Q: yq (GO/Mike Farah) uniquify all arrays recursively This is probably related to another question I posted: yq (GO/Mike Farah) sort all arrays recursively?
Mike Farah's yq provides documentation for making arrays unique but I'm having trouble figuring how to apply that to lists that are nested deeper
Input
classes:
  driver:
    fields:
      - height
      - age
      - age
  vehicle:
    fields:
      - model
      - model
      - color
      - year

Desired output
classes:
  driver:
    fields:
      - age
      - height
  vehicle:
    fields:
      - color
      - model
      - year

Naively trying to globally uniqify
cat to_sort.yaml | yq 'unique'

Error: Only arrays are supported for unique

And if it takes arguments, I don't know what to provide. I don't want to just sort one explicit path, but I did try this:
 cat to_sort.yaml | yq 'unique(.classes.driver.fields)'

Error: Bad expression, please check expression syntax

I have seen some yq examples where one has to do a select operation first, but I don't know what to try in this case.

A:  yq e '(... | select(type == "!!seq")) |= unique' input

Will recursively loop over all the items, and select() those of type !!seq
Then update (|=) those with unique:
Result from provided input:
classes:
  driver:
    fields:
      - height
      - age
  vehicle:
    fields:
      - model
      - color
      - year

*

*...: Recursive Descent

A: You have to first traverse there, then update the array (here, using the update |= operator).
Either one after another:
yq '
  .classes.driver.fields |= unique
  | .classes.vehicle.fields |= unique
' to_sort.yaml

Or both at once:
yq '
  (.classes.driver.fields, .classes.vehicle.fields) |= unique
' to_sort.yaml

Both output
classes:
  driver:
    fields:
      - height
      - age
  vehicle:
    fields:
      - model
      - color
      - year

The two St Peters Quarter Rangers have returned to the area this week (w/c April 3) in the first stage of the St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) five-year programme.
Nikki Matthews previously worked in retail before joining the Ranger team and Dave Wilson was a police officer for 30 years.
Their primary role is to support the businesses and work closely with our Streetpride team and Derbyshire Police.
We are delighted to have Nikki and Dave back with us and they have been sorely missed over the past few months. The Rangers are an important resource in the area for sharing information, welcoming visitors and tackling issues that affect our businesses.
Their role is crucial to our business objectives as the safety and security of everyone who works, lives and visits St Peters Quarter is one of the top priorities for the new BID.
The Rangers are a vital uniformed presence on the streets and particularly work closely with the Police Safer Neighbourhood Team to help them address issues of crime and anti-social behaviour in a number of ways.
St Peters Quarter BID now has a budget of £1 million, made up of the levy paid by businesses and other income, over its five year term.
The pedestrian flow between the different parts of St Peters Quarter through information and signage that encourages people to explore the whole area.
The BID will work with businesses and other organisations to provide focused events in specific areas to create an animated feel and develop St Peters Quarter as a vibrant place.
The diverse offer of the business sectors in St Peters Quarter and the events will be promoted to visitors and businesses and campaigns will be designed and delivered to focus on the key retail and leisure trading periods.
The projects and initiatives in the business plan aim to address both the immediate challenges we face on a day to day basis and exert real influence on addressing the more deep rooted challenges of the area, such as our experience of walking down the street and the structural issue of Becketwell.
Through our consultation with fellow local businesses for the re-ballot, it was clear that business confidence for the future in the St Peters Quarter BID is strong.
This is a realistic plan with realistic targets at a realistic cost. It provides us with a clear direction and a new exciting era for this important part of the city centre.

The appointment last week of Max Hollein as director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco generated excitement here, but it was also news around the world. Now the respected director of not one, but three museums in Frankfurt, Germany, Hollein will leave June 1 to lead the de Young Museum and the Legion of Honor.
That last headline almost perfectly sums up the reactions I heard from American museum leaders I contacted for their thoughts about Hollein's move here. All of them gushed.
Michael Conforti is personally known to many in the Bay Area. He began his career here in the late 1970s as curator of painting and sculpture at the Fine Arts Museums. Director of the renowned Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass., from 1994 until his retirement last year, he also served as president of the Association of Art Museum Directors for two years (2008-10). Along with Hollein, he is a member of an international advisory committee of museum directors to the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Städel Museum, one of three German museums Max Hollein will leave to direct the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
Gary Garrels has known Hollein for several years, having shared breakfasts when both were in Venice for the Biennale, the important international showcase of contemporary art, and visited him in Frankfurt. Garrels, senior curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, was excited by the prospect of a new curatorial voice in town.
As to the relationship of Fine Arts Museums programs to those at his own institution, Garrels said, "SFMOMA cannot do everything. We can't possibly do everything that one would ideally want in an area with this population, and the level of education and interest in culture here. We need it very badly for the Fine Arts Museums to be an institution of great quality and ambition. It holds an incredible position of leadership in the arts community here. And the whole community will just benefit so much from having the program be dynamic and ambitious, and setting very high standards.
"And, of course," Garrels added, "Max has an incredible network of relationships with other directors and curators and museums all over the world" that will enable him to attract major exhibitions and other shared resources.
James Cuno, president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, and Thomas Campbell, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, have both gotten to know Hollein through their participation in what is known as the Bizot Group. The most exclusive association of fine arts leaders in the world, it is composed of the directors of Europe and America's (and, increasingly, Asia's) largest and greatest museums. Hollein is the chairman of the group, elected by his peers.
Meet Max Hollein: The appointment of Max Hollein as director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (the de Young and the Legion of Honor) is major art news for the Bay Area — and internationally.

In 1 Timothy 4, the apostle Paul warns of a coming apostasy in the church and describes some of the characteristics of that apostasy so we could recognize it. You might wonder what that has to do with Barnabas Notes. In the middle of this warning, Paul explains that food is to be "received with thanksgiving" (1 Timothy 4:3).
No, I'm not trying to stretch a doctrinal point to make it fit a Holiday note because it has the word "thanksgiving" in it. The point from friend Barnabas is that God provided all that we have in this world, including the food we will enjoy on this holiday, and He provided it for our blessing. And it should be received with thanksgiving…every day.
Today, Thanksgiving Day, is a special day in the calendar of our nation. Even though many may miss the point and focus more on the turkey and football, remember God is He Who provided today; give Him thanks! He loves you, you know, and so do I. And then enjoy the day with family, friends, turkey and football! Happy Thanksgiving!!
In 2 Corinthians 9:15, the apostle Paul says we should thank God for His indescribable gift. If you read from verse 10, this sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving passage. Paul describes both physical and spiritual reasons why we should give thanks to God.
I recently taught a class on prayer and I emphasized giving thanks; that we have reason to give thanks no matter what happens to us in this life. Before that class was over I was given the opportunity to put my money where my mouth was. Quite frankly, it was harder to do than I, perhaps, had indicated in my class. Eventually, though, after a few stressful days, I began to understand that I was being given the opportunity to practice what I had preached.
Suffering is never fun, no matter what it is (if it was fun, we probably wouldn't call it "suffering," duh). It can, however, be endured. I am so thankful for the lesson I had to learn the hard way; and I am thankful for the friends who saw me through. And I am thankful that God loves me. He loves you too, by the way, and so do I.
