Plea for Kirklees folk to aid Red Cross fund
Ricky Charlesworth
Published: 15:37 Monday 26 September 2016
The British Red Cross in Batley are asking for people to raise funds for its urgent appeal to reunite families torn apart by wars and disasters.
Conflict and devastation in places such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan has led to millions of people fleeing their homeland, where the country is on its knees and people live in constant fear of death.
Families have found themselves separated, with parents in the UK thousands of miles away from their children for weeks, months and years – not knowing if they would ever see them again, or if they are even alive or dead.
Marie had to flee the Ivory Coast suddenly, when her father was killed and her house destroyed.
She was separated from her two children for four years before they were reunited through the Red Cross Family Reunion project in South Yorkshire.
In July 2015 her children were finally able to join her, in an emotional reunion at Manchester airport.
"My life can start now – today," said Marie.
"I want to be happy again and try to forget all the painful things that have happened in the past."
From October 1-15, The Red Cross in Batley are asking people to donate to the cause.
It costs approximately £300 to reunite a child with a parent and around £1,200 to reunite an entire family.
Helen Whale, Senior Community Fundraiser for the Red Cross in Yorkshire, said: "To witness parents and their children able to hug and kiss each other for the first time in years when they thought they might never again be able to do so, is humbling and beautiful.
"We would like people to organise a fundraising event to create more beautiful moments like these.
"It could be a coffee morning or dinner party, a collection, a fundraising event at work, church, college or school, or perhaps there is a local 10k or half marathon you could get sponsored to run for families torn apart."
To help bring families back together, contact Helen Whale on 0113 201 52 56 or email hwhale@redcross.org.uk

All my life, I was so worried that I was going to turn into "fellaheen." My mom would use it as a warning to keep my behavior in check. I found myself yesterday using it in a sentence. "Go brush your hair so you don't look like fellaheen!" I yelled to my daughter.
We have farmers in America and have our own stereotypes about them which may or may not be true. I picture a farmer to be wearing a cowboy hat, flannel shirt and jeans, speaking in a southern accent and driving a tractor. I also picture fellaheen to be draped in scarves, walking around with huge jugs on their head. But after looking further into it, you can see that is not the case. The modern farmers are business people, and some even own large companies. The fellaheen are not like the American farmers, but they are not like how I pictured them either. They sell organic foods in the markets and keep the agricultural economy alive.
They are choosing to live in the ways of their ancestors because of cultural and religious beliefs. These are people that are upholding traditions that go back thousands of centuries. That takes a lot of discipline and persistence. I think that some people look up to them for having those traits. For example, Jack Kerouac wrote about the fellaheen in Lonesome Traveler. Even though it's a word with Arabic origins, he uses it to describe a group of Mexicans. Go figure! He makes them seem like they are not part of the modern world and writes, "…but you can find it, this feeling, this fellaheen feeling about life, that timeless gayety of people not involved in great cultural and civilization issues." I also searched on Facebook and found a music band called Fellaheen. Weird music but I give them credit for coming up with a great name!
The fellaheen are very important to the Middle Eastern culture and history. They have been around since ancient times and their way of life will be around undoubtedly for many more centuries. So, what the heck was I so afraid of when I was told to not be like them? Now, if someone says I look like a fellaheen, I will just say "Thank you" and walk away with pride.
Excellent article, Michelle Nasrine Kemp. You have commented most sagely and wittily on the prevailing attitude of most regarding the workers of the earth, the rural folk, the peasants, the tillers of the soil. While they spend countless hours laboring to produce food for us, we, instead of being grateful, deride them and make sure that our children never fall into their uncouth ways. It is time to appreciate what the people who live in the country do to not only feed us but also how they contribute to preserve the ancient cultural heritage for which the city folks have little time. Thank you.

Mailbag: How to Avoid Startup Investing Mistakes, Why the Government Doesn't Get Crypto
April 28, 2019 /in Bitcoin /by Early Investing
Q: What mistakes do new startup investors make, and how can I avoid them?
A: One of the mistakes I see new investors make is falling in love with a specific industry. They see a startup in an area they're really excited about (cannabis or artificial intelligence, for example), and jump in without properly researching the company. This is always a mistake.
When evaluating startup investments, it is far more important to focus on the progress and potential of a company rather than on the industry it's in. Investors have a limited number of startups to choose from, and our top priority should be finding the best companies.
So even though I love the cannabis industry, I don't give pot startups much more consideration than ones in more boring industries. In fact, "hot" investment areas like cannabis tend to attract more bad actors, so investors need to be extra careful there. If the startup's pitch focuses on how big the industry is going to be, and not on why it will dominate it, be very careful. That's a red flag.
Another mistake we often see new investors make is investing too much money on a single opportunity or just a handful of companies. Early-stage investing is risky. And in order to have a good chance at hitting a home run, we recommend members invest in no fewer than 20 startups over the course of a year or more. I've invested in more than 80 startups over the last five years, and I expect five of them to produce nearly all my returns.
In fact, in any large startup portfolio, it's likely that one investment will return more than the rest combined. The second-best investment will return more than the remaining ones, etc. This phenomenon is known as the Power Law.
Fortunately, it's easy to build a portfolio of 20-plus startups today because equity crowdfunding has minimum investments starting at $100 (and sometimes less).

Q: Who are the people actually working on crypto regulations at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)? It can't be the commissioners. And why don't they get it?
A: Let me get this straight: You're asking me why people who choose the safety and security of government work don't get crypto? Hmmm. This is too easy.
Unfortunately, it's much more than merely imposing their own risk aversion on the general public. But first, you're right: It's not the commissioners. They have their views, of course. SEC Chairman Jay Clayton comes from Wall Street. And J. Christopher "Chris" Giancarlo, the CFTC's chairman, worked for a series of high-powered law firms. In other words, they've served the very clientele that crypto seeks to disrupt.
While both have been pretty cautious in their public statements, it's not hard to know where their sympathies lie. But, as you point out in your question, it's not the commissioners who are responsible for making crypto policy. It's the staff.
I don't know anybody personally who works on either the CFTC or the SEC staff. And that surprises me. I have a ton of friends from Washington. Heck, even I worked for the government at one point. But the closest personal connection I have is the wife of a close colleague of mine circa 20 years ago who worked at the SEC.
But I don't need a personal connection to the SEC to imagine who works there. I simply have to think of my brother, who has worked for several government agencies in Washington over the past 30 years. He's not in the government anymore, but he still gets the odd government consulting job.
A couple of years ago, he was even asked to do a study on alternative currencies throughout U.S. history for an agency I can't name. But I can tell you his broad conclusion: None of those currencies lasted and the odds are great that cryptocurrency won't either.
Unlike the SEC and CFTC commissioners, my brother is not a lawyer or Wall Streeter. He came straight from academia to Washington. But he's been part of the Washington public policy-making machine forever. He is a somewhat older version of those people staffing the SEC and CFTC: very smart and very conventional, protective of the general public, and suspicious of new things (they don't like what they don't understand).
Cryptocurrency won't get the benefit of the doubt from the traditional, geeky Washington set. The age-old rule applies: The people who make the rules do not treat kindly the people who like breaking the rules.

I almost missed the "You've won the Listserve!" email. With 72 hours to respond, I had already missed 70. I had two hours to write my email to a million people, as well as figure out where to go when my hotel booted me, and how to travel back to California without ID. So I wrote this for The Listserve.
It's not great, but at least you get what was going on in my life February 24. That River ate my homework!
After three weeks of roughing it on the Colorado in February – I survived!
